Chandanjyoti Bora/Nagaon


Mozamil Hussain of the Magurmari area of Assam’s Nagaon district is emerging as an international level hockey player from India. He has played in many tournaments for the Assam hockey team and also in 14 national-level events. Mozamil started playing hockey soon after completing his schooling at Kawoimari Higher Secondary School in Nagaon district in 2009.
 
Next year, he participated in the KD Singh national invitation meet, and in 2012 he played in Hockey India’s National Sub-Juniors in Assam. In 2014, he played again in national sub-juniors in Jammu and Kashmir, followed by Sub-Juniors in Manipur (2016), Sub-Juniors in Bengaluru (2017), Sub-Juniors in 2018 at Hojai (Assam), Juniors in Madhya Pradesh in 2018, and juniors at Jabalpur in 2019.
 
At the international level, Mozamil represented Dhaka Bachelor's Sporting Club in the Bangladesh League, and in 2021, he played for General Insurance Corporation in the Bangladesh Green Delta Insurance Premier Division Hockey League. In 2021, he represented Assam in the Senior National Championships at Pune.

Mozamil’s father Aminul Haque is a tailor and mother Mehrun Nesha is a homemaker. 
 
Despite the obvious lack of resources, Mozamil's father never dissuaded him from playing hockey. When Mozamil was training at the Sports Authority of India in Kolkata, his father sold a plot of land to support his son. Mozamil is also set to sign a contract with the Hong Kong Hockey League.
 
It is worth mentioning that hockey is not a popular sport in Assam. Mozamil has reached this level only by getting training at a hockey training center in Kawoimari, a suburb of Kaliabor in Nagaon district. 
With his passion and determination, Mozamil has overcome the days of poverty of his family. His father, who never allowed the economic conditions of his family to come in the way of his son’s dreams is another hero of Mozamil’s life story.

Mumbai In the last episode of 'Bigg Boss 15', contestants got a straightforward lesson from 'Bigg Boss' for not taking the game seriously. They were sent to the jungle and two eviction slots were opened. However, there is no end to the agony of 'Junglewasis' as they received yet another announcement. The contestants have been divided into pairs. Each pair has a chance to gain entry in the main house using the 'access ticket', but it comes at a cost. The pairs not only have to win the assigned task but also face a deduction of a certain amount from their prize money should they re-enter the main house. Moreover, the jungle will also start taking away the necessities required for survival. The contestants thus have no choice but to face the deductions and try to enter the main house. Jay Bahushali and Pratik Sehajpal, who have been rivals since day one, started working together as a team. They are on a mission to not let anybody win and Pratik starts ruini

Ehsan Fazili/Srinagar   In restoring and conserving a dilapidated, abandoned, and decaying Church, the Srinagar Municipal Corporation has not only revived a place of worship for the handful of local Christians but also preserved Valley’s architectural heritage and traditions of harmony. The 125-year-old Saint Luke’s Church in Dal Gate area, close to the Lake by that name, will have its first mass for the devout on Christmas after 30 years. The carol singing happened at its online inauguration by Lt Governor Manoj Sinha. The church was built in 1896 on the southwest slope of Shri Shankaracharya Hill on top of which is located the famous Shiva temple.   According to Athar Aamir Khan, Commissioner, Srinagar Municipality, a lot of credit for the restoration of this building goes to local artisans who reworked the Khatamband ceiling of this church, a unique feature of local art. Khatamband is a roof made of designer wooden tiles. The church building is otherwise a Gothic structure. An insid
