Just finished watching Sacred Games. It’s very nicely made the story at times doesnt really hold up but the performances steal the show. The best of the lot is Nawazuddin Siddiqui followed by Jitendra Joshi. Saif makes his mark but is weak at the portrayal. Girish Joshi is spot on and Kubra Sait is just picture perfect. She gives a nice twist at the end of her character. Radhika is bland and honestly her accent is weak. The other best part about the series is the background score.
The FIA would also like to welcome back the French and German Grands Prix to the calendar, as both have a long and rich tradition in the sport.” he added. “In that regard the FIA is particularly pleased that Formula One will once again return to France, the historic home of Grand Prix racing, and to the Circuit Paul Ricard, which last hosted the event in 1990. Both the Chinese and Singapore rounds are subject to official confirmation of deals with the Commercial Rights Holder.

FIA has released the official calendar for the 2017 Formula 1 season, which will start from the last week of March 2017.
The most important change is the German GP, which has been dropped from the 20-race calendar. The race in Baku has been moved to a week later in order to avoid it clashing with the Le Mans 24 Hours. This has also resulted in the Austrian GP and the British GP being pushed back by one week.
The confirmed calendar for the 2017 Formula 1 is:
• March 26 – Australia (Melbourne)
• April 9 – China (Shanghai)
• April 16 – Bahrain (Bahrain)
• April 30 – Russia (Sochi)
• May 14 – Spain (Barcelona)
• May 28 – Monaco (Monte Carlo)
• June 11 – Canada (Montreal)
• June 25 – Azerbaijan (Baku)
• July 9 – Austria (Spielberg)
• July 16 – Great Britain (Silverstone)
• July 30 – Hungary (Budapest)
• August 27 – Belgium (Spa-Francorchamps)
• September 3 – Italy (Monza)
• September 17 – Singapore (Singapore)
• October 1 – Malaysia (Sepang)
• October 8 – Japan (Suzuka)
• October 22 – USA (Austin)
• October 29 – Mexico (Mexico City)
• November 12 – Brazil (Sao Paulo)
• November 26 – Abu Dhabi (Abu Dhabi)

I ordered for a router via Amazon (TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 Wireless Dual Band Router) on the 7th of August, 2016. It was shipped with a delivery date of 17th August, 2016. However, the delivery date was pushed to 20th August, 2016 just before the router was to be delivered. The courier company’s (Delhivery) tracking number was displayed on the Amazon order page, but it did not show any tracking details. I checked the Delhivery’s site with the tracking number, but there were no status updates on the router.
I decided to wait until the 20th, but the router did not come. I contacted Amazon support via their chat service on the 21st and they mentioned that they will inform Delhivery to deliver the router on that day, however, it was not the case to be.
On the 22nd, I called Amazon in the morning to check the status of the router, however the CS agent sounded clueless and gave me the same resolution as before, they will ask Delhivery to deliver the router by 8PM. Out of curiosity, I checked the tracking status on Delhivery’s site, it said that the shipment was not received, I sent out a tweet to the Delhivery twitter ID and they confirmed the same that they have not received the physical shipment from Amazon. This was puzzling me, hence I called up Amazon again and after explaining my ordeal again to the CS (Raghavendra), he consulted with his supervisor and offered me a replacement of the router. Along with the replacement, he offered a gift voucher worth ₹200 for the delays that this particular order had caused.
Guess what! Amazon has superceeded it’s service by delivering the router today 🙂 I am a very happy customer.
Since the Apple Event 2014 is still lingering in various media, here is what to expect in 2015.
More?
