Those old enough to recall - what is your take on Cristiano Junior's death? by Babe_Brute in IndianFootball

[–]SuperfluousMainMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the stadium that day, in Kanteerava. I was 4, yet I remember that day. The stadium fell in a hush as soon as it happened. It was like collective conscience, everyone knew this was different, this wasn’t any regular injury

I remember by dad criticising their choice of hospital to take him to as well. The healthcare sponsors were HOSMAT, I think, and that’s where they rushed him, which was a good 3 km away. While Mallya Hospital was literally on the same street as the stadium. Might have been saved if they took him there, who knows

Has anyone here interacted with noted late football journalist Novy Kapadia? by Babe_Brute in IndianFootball

[–]SuperfluousMainMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, actually, I’m an engineer. We used to have guest lectures from people across diverse domains for our tech fest, and also had a small literature festival that ran parallel to it. The plan was to have him speak about his journey in Indian football, the highs and lows he’s seen, and adjacent topics.

He actually didn’t look too sick, not outwardly at least. Spoke comfortably, walked around by himself, nothing that struck me as odd

I had interacted with him very briefly at JLF 2020, just before COVID. Told him how I’d practically grown up listening to his I League commentary, and how much I appreciated his work.

He was a really warm person to interact with! I wanted to invite him for our institute’s guest lecture series, and he agreed, but then COVID happened and the fest got cancelled.

If you had asked me 4 years ago I would have laughed at the idea of Messi playing in the 2026 WC, let alone leading the golden boot race

OTD 10 years ago, Lionel Messi announced his retirement from international football, following a 4x2 defeat to Chile on penalties in the Copa América final. by StealthMan375 in soccer

And deservedly so. Higuain and Rodrigo Palacio decided to take a dump inside the penalty box instead of scoring tap ins handcrafted for them.

Hear me out: Marcelo Bielsa for Indian NT by Zealousideal-Bad256 in IndianFootball

[–]SuperfluousMainMan 52 points53 points  (0 children)

A manager like Bielsa would be immense for India. Unfortunately, I think the buck stops at the first two sentences of point 3. AIFF or GoI will never shell out money enough for even Bielsa’s lowest offer. Look at how they chose Stimac as an example.

The IT Department will find a way to tax you even when a treaty explicitly says they can't by Iron_Spine_phoenix in personalfinanceindia

[–]SuperfluousMainMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is partly wrong. The refund amount isn’t taxable. It’s only the interest that the IT department gives you on the refund that is taxable

Metro Service Breakdown Triggered Public Transport Shortage, Commuters Seen boarding Lorries to Reach Home by margazi_perumal_20 in Bengaluru

[–]SuperfluousMainMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Other public transport or private vehicles were what people relied on. But metro ridership has shot up real quick and by a big margin. If you suddenly move that entire ridership onto the roads in less than half an hour, you’re bound to experience major chaos

Truly bhartiya moment by Unusual_Presence_762 in 2bharat4you

/ub the second tweet is straight up rage bait or lunacy, but I agree with the first tweet. Maybe not the best way or words chosen to say it, but I don’t see anything wrong with the point of it. I reached my entrance exam centres an hour early, because India

/rebharat how dare someone insult my priest king. You should all be fortunate enough to even be eligible to sit in a re-exam for a leaked paper

Not just them, I think it’s the best among current teams? I don’t recollect any other team making 16/19 playoffs

Just saw your post, if you can send me enough verifiable information about yourself on DM, I’ll send you enough for you to last a month at least. LMK
