We have 3 neighboring countries in our Northeast region.

Why is it called middle East ??

 Yesterday US and Israel jointly fired missiles on Iran and killed Khomeini.

Later, Iran as revenge has fired missiles on US airbases situated in MIDDLE EAST  !!!

Question arise what is called MIDDLE EAST  ??

It depends on where we are standing  !!!!

The term MIDDLE EAST is a Eurocentric label.

It was coined by people in Western Europe specifically  British.

European perspective -------

In 19th century, European powers divided the EAST into 3 distinct regions based on their distance from London.

1.   Near East 

            Ottoman empire and the Balkans (  closest to Europe  )

2.   Far East 

           China, Japan and Korea 

3.  Middle East 

            Area around Persian gulf and Mesopotamia.

For us, standing in India, Middle East would actually be "  Middle West   "  !!!!

India vs West Indies T20 cricket match

 Tonight is the last league T20 cricket match between India and West Indies.

This match is a virtual semifinal match.

Because whoever win this match, will directly go to semifinals. Loser team will be out of the tournament !!!

Already Pakistan and Sri Lanka are out of the tournament.

Only our team is left from Asian continent.

West Indies cricket team is very unsteady.  Though they have big hitters in game, sometimes they would lose the match.

As for today's match, if India is going to bat first,  I have decided to watch.

All depends on toss.

India has won the toss and decided to bowl first.

In 2014, West Indies had won the T20 tournament on this same ground.

As India is not batting first,  I am not watching the match   !!!
