Ballon d'Or 2017: Cristiano Ronaldo Lifts The Trophy



 Cristiano Ronaldo is the winner of Ballon d'Or 2017. He received the award in a ceremony held over the Eiffel Tower. Earlier this year he won the 'FIFA Player of the Year' award. Its no big surprise that he was voted as the winner by an elite panel of journalists on behalf of France Football. The Ballon d'Or was presented by former Tottenham player David Ginola. Real Madrid legends such as Raul, Kaka and Ronaldo Naza'rio were present.

“I feel happy, its a great moment in my career. I have to thank my team-mates, Real Madrid and the rest of the people who helped me to be in great shape throughout the season” said the Portuguese superstar.


Ronaldo has won the prestigious award four times(2008,2013,2014,2016) in the past .This was his fifth Ballon d'Or. His performance has led both his club Real Madrid and country Portugal reach greater heights of success. His crucial goals in the Champions League and the La Liga have led Real Madrid to become the only team ever to win back-to-back Champions League finals and also claim the La Liga. Real Madrid won a total of 4 major trophies last season.


Rivals Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr. finished second and third respectively. Ronaldo's rivalry with Messi has brought the best out of each other. This rivalry has led Ronaldo and Messi not let anyone else win this award for a decade now. This only proves their legendary status. This legendary rivalry will not be ending any time soon, so lets sit-back and enjoy watching two of the greatest footballers at work.

17 *Fierce* Female Characters The Harry Potter Series Gave Us - Thank You, J.K. Rowling.

Harry Potter is a universe with endless possibilities of twists, turns and probabilities. Maybe that is the reason that there are so many fan-fics and theories that exist still, even after the last chapter closed on us, ending the saga. J.K. Rowling gave us a bevy of characters to remember, for good or bad, through the magical world that she created, and amongst them, today we are going to talk about a few. We bring to you some of the fiercest female characters from the series - you obviously know them all, but they need to be talked and written about. Here we go... 1. Hermione Granger She was not just the brightest witch of her age, but also the bravest one. At the tender age of eleven, when one doesn't even know how to fathom a situation, she chose her path wisely, stuck by her friends in their quest to finish off the evillest wizard of all times, and displayed an extraordinary knack for not just spell-casting, but logic, bravery and knowledge. 2. Bellatrix...

CIA Releases Report on UFO Investigation

The CIA has declassified for the first time the results of its top secret study that was carried out on UFOs till 2012. The CIA called this program as the 'Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program'. It spent around $22 million every year between 2008 and 2012 to fund this program. The CIA never acknowledged the presence of such program till today. It says that the program was shut down in 2012 because the Pentagon had stopped funding it. The program was initiated at the request of Democrat state senator Harry Reid from Nevada. A huge chunk of the $22 million budget went to an aerospace research company run by billionaire entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, who also happens to be Mr. Reid's longtime friend.

UFOs have been repeatedly investigated over the decades in the United States, including by the American military. In 1947, the Air Force began a...

The Story Behind The National Pledge

Educationist Maria Montessori once said, "Early childhood education is the key to the betterment of society”. Our schooling heavily influences what we are in society today. We all remember our school days with much fondness, the memories of our friends and teachers bring us great joy. In all the memories we have of school, the morning assembly is often neglected. Irrespective of the school we studied in, there are two things that are common, the National Anthem and the National Pledge. We often ignore the importance and the story behind the latter. The people of Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh have a strong connection to it. The schools in the city of Visakhapatnam were the first to recite the National Pledge in the country. In 1962 renowned Telugu author P.V Subba Rao composed the pledge while he was working as the District Treasury Office at Visakhapatnam. He later submitted the pledge to the local minister at that time Tenneti Viswanadham, after whom the local Tennet...
