Magical music

THIS poem is dedicated to Music Day on June 21.

MUSIC the heartbeat of life

The melody ushering harmony Striking a balancing chord Sounds and tunes mesmerisin­g Alluring compositio­n and lyrics Capturing the imaginatio­n Providing the best entertainm­ent Words, rhythm and beats Providing nourishmen­t to mind Generating messages, meanings Stirring emotions so deeply Bringing back happy memories Soothing, calming the moods Comforting the sad and worried Creating peace and happiness Music the epitome of creativity Allowing expression of thoughts

A way to release the emotions

A way of enjoyment and ecstasy Exploring musical experience­s Music having enormous power To cause change and transform Music is everything in life

Now lost in the magic of music BHAGWANJI BHINDI

Power-packed Flying Fijians

FLYING Fijians head coach Vern Cotter has named a power-packed and an explosive extended squad for the July Internatio­nal Tests.

The Flying Fijians will face the All Blacks whose players have been exposed to quality rugby as they took part in Super Rugby Aotearoa and Super Rugby Trans-Tasman.

Hence, the hosts will have the upper hand against Vern Cotter’s brigade who is likely to assemble days before the mammoth Test.

I’m pleased with the squad that has been named with the likes of Ravai, Mawi, Hetet, Matavesi, Dolokoto, Tagi, Doge, Atalifo, Ratuva, Temo, Nakarawa, Tuisue, Kiti, Narisia, Kunavula, Dyer, Yato, Lomani, Kuruvoli, Sorovi, Ben, Tela, Botia, Vili, Wise, Ratave, Eneriko, Nadolo, Habosi, Mataele, Sau, Seta and Kini.

It’s a pity that Radradra and Tuisova have missed out, but I’m glad that The Trailer is set to be used by Baber in our 7s team.

It might have been a tough decision to make for Radradra, but I’m adamant that his prowess is much needed by our 7s team. Toso Viti toso! RAJNESH ISHWAR LINGAM Balgovind Rd, Nadawa, Nasinu

Nature and humans

ANIMALS will never be responsibl­e for trashing the Earth. They live in harmony with nature.

I bet if some day we have to relocate to another planet because we will have generated so much rubbish and Earth becomes uninhabita­ble, in so many years we will also destroy the new planet.

Just a thought.

Unpredicta­ble Euro 2020

WHEN England and Scotland match ended in a stalemate, I was exasperate­d.

However, learning that France and Hungary game together with Spain and Poland match also played to a one all draw, made me realise the unpredicta­ble nature of Euro 2020.

In the process, making the pools wide open for the second round qualificat­ion.
