Indian Super League is better than I-League, says Mumbai City FC's Subhash Singh

By
The first season of ISL was a huge success and so far the second edition has started on a positive note with decent fan-following on the ground and on television.
Mumbai City FC's attacker Subhash Singh is not shy in pointing out that the Indian Super League (ISL) is a better tournament than the I-League, and it is the way forward for Indian football.
"ISL is the way forward for Indian football. I-League and ISL are two different leagues. I will say ISL is better than I-League. It's an honour to play here and it gives you the opportunity to improve and from my point of view ISL is the way forward if Indian football needs to improve," the striker told IBNLive.
The first season of ISL was a huge success and so far the second edition has started on a positive note with decent fan-following on the ground and on television.
Subhash's team Mumbai has made a slow start to the tournament but the striker is confident that the team will start getting desired results in the coming matches despite the slow start. Mumbai have lost one and drawn one so far and are seventh on the points table.
"It has been a slow start so far for us, but we are all working very hard in training. We are working hard as a team on the training ground and the pitch. So hopefully we will have positive results in the upcoming matches," he said.
Despite the slow start, Mumbai have enough attack power up their sleeves. With Sunil Chettri returning after national duty, Subhash will have to fight for his place with him and their marquee player-cum-manager Nicolas Anelka.
When asked if the pressure affects him and how he sees the competition for places, the striker told IBNLive "I have to perform consistently but plus point is that I can also play as a winger despite being a striker. So I have an option to play on both the wings but the same goes with Chettri.
"Even Anelka can play everywhere. It all depends on him [coach] where he wants us to play. He is the coach and the whole team has to play according to his plan. There are no individuals here. Everyone has to fight for their place," he added.
Mumbai next take on Chennaiyin FC, who won their last match convincingly and are in better form than the team from Maharashtra.
Chennaiyin lost their first two matches but came back strongly against FC Goa. However, Subhash feels that his team is ready for the challenge.
"We are looking forward towards the new match - particularly I, and hopefully I can play up to the mark," Subhash said.
Mumbai have abundance of foreign talent in their squad and the right amount of experience.
When asked how it was like to share the dressing room with Anelka & Co, Subhash said all are great players and always ready to help.
"It has been a great experience so far sharing the dressing room with Anelka and others. It's good playing with such great players. All are very gentle and are very helpful. So it's an honour to share the same space with them," the attacker concluded.

The first stethoscope

By
René Laennec, a French doctor and inventor was born 235 years ago today, and Google has marked his birthday with a Doodle. Dr Laennec's importance to modern medicine was guaranteed by his invention of the very first stethoscope in 1816. Here are five things you (probably) didn't know about him : 1. Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his  1819 treatise  on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Review

By
For most of the reviews here at Gadgets 360, we use the mobile in question as our primary phone for about a week or so before sharing our verdict with you. We realise this isn't perfect, since there are some aspects of the device that don't become obvious during that time, and in an ideal world, we'd use every phone for a couple of months before we publish our review. But we work under constraints where most devices aren't available to us for that long - almost all products that we review are loaned to us by companies for short durations - and there's also the competitive pressure of wanting to get your review out before others do, as long as it doesn't involve cutting any corners. With the launch of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in India, Apple offered to loan the two new iPhones to Gadgets 360 - and indeed other publications - for more than the typical timeframe of a few days. The India iPhone launch of course came a few we...
