From PT Teacher to Pride of Nagaland. Imliwati Lemtur’s Journey is Pure Inspiration A PT teacher at Hope Academy, Dimapur, Imliwati Lemtur took a 6 month unpaid leave despite being recently married and carrying responsibilities, just to represent Nagaland. No guarantees, just belief. No academies. No coach. He learnt cricket watching TV, inspired by Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina during India’s 2011 World Cup win. Then came the moment - Nagaland were reeling at 31/4 against a giant Tamil Nadu side that had piled up 512. Lemtur stood tall and produced a fighting 146, guiding Nagaland to 446 and securing a remarkable draw. When he reached his hundred, the entire dressing room erupted because it wasn’t just his milestone, it was Nagaland’s achievement. Today, he stands as one of Nagaland’s finest with 136 wickets in 48 First Class matches, along with 4 fifties and that memorable century. From unpaid leave to carrying a team, this is what real domestic cricket stories look like 🇮🇳🏏

The Delhi Gymkhana Club has been issued a notice by the Central Government to vacate the land on which it stands. indianexpress.com/article/cities… ndtv.com/india-news/del… I am not going into the legality of the notice, as I believe the matter is sub judice in the Delhi High Court. But what I wish to say, on the basis of my own several visits there, is that it is frequented, and its members are, well to do businessmen, high ranking bureaucrats and military officers, and other affluent so called 'elite' of society, and their families, who care two hoots for the vast majority of Indians who are poor. They come there to eat good food, drink excellent liquor ( often imported, and consequently very expensive ), talk gossip, and generally entertain themselves and make merry, while totally indifferent and insensitive to the terrible sufferings of the Indian masses. It is a colonial relic, and I will shed no tears if it meets its demise

😂😂😂 This entitled guy who is an ex-Army Officer thinks because Delhi Gymkhana is his Second Home and his whole family loiters about here whole day, the Govt of India has given fictitious grounds to evict them.

This is precisely why Dehi Gymkhana should not be seen as just the bastion of the rich and famous. That's one way of looking at things. And very myopic. In that sense, I am an outsider because I can never afford such memberships. But to me, as an outsider, whenever I pass them by, I see greens. Peace. I breathe clean air. I take off my earphones and just listen to the quiet. Open spaces in urban cities are shrinking with every passing day. How much construction do we really need? The gymkhana that you cannot afford to enter is the least of your worries. The rich will move on to something else; the city will lose out on its precious open space, green cover and peace.

South Delhi will always outmog every district in India because urban luxury is not just malls or real estate prices, it is tree cover, shaded streets, wide roads, walkability and transit access. Walked nearly 10 km today from Hauz Khas to Vasant Kunj post leg day via Qutub Institutional Area and you can literally feel the temperature drop under the tree canopy. Cool breeze, shaded corridors and surprisingly continuous sidewalks across most stretches except parts of Katwaria Sarai & Masoodpur urban villages. Delhi’s ridge and green cover reduce local surface temperatures by 2-5°C in several pockets. This is exactly why Indian cities need aggressive urban afforestation and shaded pedestrian infra to fight the urban heat island effect in a tropical climate. Its simple, More trees = cooler cities, lower artificial ventilation demand, healthier walking environments and better public transit usage.

🚨Shocking Reality🔥🇮🇳 😱CAG audited and flagged Delhi’s leasehold properties multiple times (2000, 2009, 2021) See the list below: ✅Delhi Gymkhana Club (Safdarjung Road, Lutyens Delhi) → 27.3 acres right next to PM House & defence establishments → Annual rent: Just ₹1,000 only! 💰This 113-year-old perpetual lease from the British era (1928) gave an elite club massive prime land in the high-security zone at a token ₹1,000 per year, no revision for inflation, no market rate. 🚀Compare with other shocking cases: ✅✈️ Delhi Airport (GMR/DIAL) → Land value: ₹24,000 Cr → Annual rent: ₹100 ✅🏌️Delhi Golf Club → Land value: ₹47,000 Cr → Annual rent: ₹5.82 Lakh ✅🏇Delhi Race Course (150 acres near PM House) → Lease long expired, still occupied 🎯The Centre has now ordered Gymkhana Club to vacate by June 5 for national security & defence infrastructure. This is exactly why public land in sensitive zones cannot remain a playground for elites at throwaway rents while threats to PM Modi are real. 💥Public property must serve public purpose first. No more colonial-era elite capture. What do you think? Should all such nominal leases in Lutyens Delhi be reviewed and scrapped for national interest?

@sabeer Rubbish tweet! Why such clubs on government land exist in first place which arent even open to general public with 80% membership flowing throwing same set of families. Must be repurposed immediately. This is a government land not someone's private property.

Institutions such as the Delhi Gymkhana Club, the Bangalore Club, and the Bowring Institute are part of India’s living heritage. For decades, they have been spaces where ideas were exchanged, relationships were built, and intellectual conversations flourished across generations. Rather than creating hundreds more such institutions, it seems shortsighted to dismantle existing ones in the name of national security. A confident nation preserves and expands its institutions; it does not diminish them.

@Tara_Deshpande Such elitist clubs have no place in today's modern India. How many commoners have got the membership of this club? Why is it have permanent members and not some kinda rotation policy which lets general population an access. What history are you talking about?

Tara Deshpande@Tara_Deshpande·
I see your point but it is a complex matter. Please correct me if I am wrong but at Delhi Gymkhana isn’t 80% of its permanent membership reserved for government officials. 2240 members are Defence personnel and 2240 are bureaucrats? Aren’t a significant number of ministers or former ministers. Was Manmohan Singh a member, Sheila Dixit, Arun Jaitley. Isn’t Rahul Gandhi a member? I would not be surprised if this is a hub for old world Congress party members and ministers. Close to 600 workers- waiters, gardeners, cooks some who have worked at DG for 35 years stand to lose their livelihoods. Nothing to rejoice here. While the rent is wholly inadequate it is not🧵

STORY OF DELHI GYMKHANA CLUB Total Land: 28 Acres - Prime Lutyens Delhi 🏛️ Membership fee: ₹30 LAKH ⏳ Waiting list after paying fees: 37 YEARS 🇮🇳 Yearly rent paid to Government: ₹1,000/year 💸 Tax dues: ₹2.93 CRORE You pay ₹30 lakh upfront. Then wait 37 years to get in. While they pay India just ₹1,000 a year. For 28 acres in the heart of Delhi. 113 years of colonial privilege. June 5, 2026, GOI takes it back.

📅 On this day in Zimbabwe Cricket history (24 May 2025) Zimbabwe’s long-awaited return to Test cricket in England came to an end at Trent Bridge as England wrapped up victory by an innings and 45 runs. Despite the result, there were major positives for the Chevrons. Brian Bennett produced a magnificent 139 — his maiden Test century — while Sean Williams (88) and Sikandar Raza (60) showed real fight in Zimbabwe’s second innings. But somewhere between Bennett’s hundred and Shoaib Bashir’s wickets, another Zimbabwean moment unexpectedly entered cricket folklore. Captured live on Sky Sports, I somehow found myself carrying 7 beers through a packed Trent Bridge crowd with the concentration of a man fielding at short leg on debut. The commentators immediately spotted it, the crowd loved it, and for a brief moment Zimbabwe had representation in the broadcast beyond the scorecard. England won the Test. I won the beverage logistics battle🇿🇼

Most of these cafes have the same menus though they just look fancy but in reality these cafes still serve average food. And of course there is nothing to do in Ahmedabad apart from movies and cafes. There are no places to chill it's a very boring city
Trendulkar@Trendulkar

Visited Ahmedabad yesterday and was blown away by the number of new restaurants, cafes, fast food joints, ice cream parlours, bakeries, dessert places etc. Probably more than anywhere else I’ve seen recently. Everywhere you look, there’s a new fancy place to eat. Hundreds of them. Meanwhile, the internet makes it feel like most people are now obsessed with health and fitness and everyone’s lifting, running marathons, tracking macros, wearing fitness trackers. Reality is very different. People are eating out and consuming junk food more than ever before. Eating out has become one of the biggest forms of 'entertainment' for Indians and Ahmedabad has taken it to another level.

Well done, Arjun. ❤️ Proud of the way you’ve carried yourself through this season, always believing in your ability, staying patient, working hard quietly, and remaining positive despite having to wait for your opportunity till the very last match. Cricket tests patience as much as skill, and you handled both beautifully today. Keep your feet on the ground, and continue being in love with the game like you always have. Love you always.👏

Today's LSG last match of IPL 2026 season. Will LSG today give Arjun Tendulkar a much deserved opportunity today? Its a dead rubber and LSG should give this youngster a chance so that he doesnt feel low on confidence and a chance to prove himself.
