NEWS DIGEST – Well since it’s the first week of
activities after resuming camp on the 19th of April
2018, I’ve decided to document my experience at the
“world class” Okada camp with half-star facilities,

some words might be hyperbolic while some might
sound fictional but nevertheless the past and the

preempt that I would be posted to the heartbeat of the
nation to feel the heat and obey the clarion call even
under the rain and even in the sun.
