The Indian Premier League (IPL)’s 2020 edition, which was supposed to take place in April-May, was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After much deliberation, it is finally set to take place in the UAE from September 19 to November 10.
While we wait excitedly for the tournament to begin, let’s pass the time by testing our knowledge of the IPL.
Buildings have charm. More so the old ones. Each one has a story to tell and it is time to take notice of them. These landmarks must be preserved for posterity.
How many old buildings have you seen in your town or city? Has it got you thinking about its history? If these buildings could talk, imagine the stories they would tell.
There are some people who believe that these old structures must not be pulled down but instead be repurposed. These historical structures have been given a new lease of life. We feature here some of them.

So many teachers in life… and not always in the way you think. This is about the different teachers in my life
It’s Teachers’ Day, people! Now, I’m not a big fan of ‘days’, unless it’s Saturday, Sunday or my birthday. Plus, when I think of Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Teachers’ Day — basically grown-ups’ days, it feels a little unfair. Aren’t all days pretty much their days, if you think about it?
Life coaches
If you’re a kid, the people who decide everything for you are your parents and teachers. What you eat, when you wake up, how much homework you get, and how much time you spend on it, what’s left over for Fortnite when you go to bed, and how often you have to take a shower…
But, I also realised that when we think of teachers, we somehow always think of the ones at school. And we should. But there are so many other people (and non-people) who teach us every day of our lives.
Here are some other teachers I’ve learned from in my life. Scroll through the slides to find out:
Okay, okay, the list is not complete without a big thank you to our teachers at school, at our sports coaching centres and at our hobby classes. THANK YOU! Even when we turn our cameras off, mute ourselves, chat with each other online and sneakily watch YouTube on another tab, you don’t give up on us. You keep teaching us. You keep giving us another chance. You still believe in us. And you’re still pretty scary even on Zoom. Now, that’s a skill I’d like to learn.

Have you ever had trouble with double digit multiplication? Fear no more! Here is an easy solution…
Multiplication can be pretty easy, if you’re dealing with single digits, but it can get a bit tricky when you start trying to solve double digit numbers. Here’s an easy way to solve them easily every single time!
Using the vertical and crosswise pattern, we can easily multiply large two-digit numbers like the one pictured below.
First, multiply vertically up the right side. 2 x 4 = 8. So, 8 will be the last digit in our answer.
Next, cross-multiply. 3 x 2 = 6 and 4 x 1 = 4. Now add 6 + 4 to get 10. Carry over the 1 like you normally would, and you are left with 0, which will go in front of the 8 we already have.
So, as of now you should have 08 in you answer line.
Lastly, vertically multiply up the left side. 3 x 1 = 3 and add the carried 1. Place that in the front of our answer line and we get 408.
Simple right? Test this method out with the following equations and fill the answers in.
Was that a bit challenging? Cool down with a basic set of single multiplications.
