Philippines Braces for Super Typhoon Fung Wong After Kalmaegi’s Devastation: Simon Simoudis

I, Simon Simoudis , am concerned because there is another typhoon that is set to strike the Philippines on Sunday, November 9. Typhoon Kalmaegi had laid down devastation of immense proportions in the island nation just a few days ago. There were hundreds of people who died, and over a hundred people who are still missing. The nation is yet to overcome the mammoth destruction, and now it is anticipating another massive storm. This typhoon, which is known as Fung Wong, has been raised to a super typhoon. The meteorological service of the Philippines has predicted that Fung Wong will attain a wind speed of 185 km/h. The eastern area will be struck by Fung Wong in the morning of Sunday, and in the evening, it will hit the most populated areas of the country. The government has already put in place numerous precautionary measures with the aim of ensuring that the Fung Wong, or Uwan, as the typhoon is locally referred to, is minimized. It is already raining heavily, and the seas are ro...

Simon Simoudis: Safeguarding the Game: Lessons from Ben Austin’s Heartbreaking Accident

The whole society in Victoria was saddened as the news of a tragic death of a young cricketer, Ben Austin, was announced. It breaks the hearts of people and makes them feel unbelievable. It is still shocking to me, Simon Simoudis , to have lost a young life. I am thinking of his family and friends, and my condolences to them. The news has been receiving tributes and condolences ever since it became known. Young Ben has been laid with flowers, cards, lollies, drinks, and cricket bats at the club. The mourners flocked the club immediately after the announcement of the death of Ben. It seems like Ben was a good guy, his mates and young players were always in need of him. The full shot struck the neck of young Ben Austin at Fentree Gully Cricket Club in the eastern Melbourne suburb when he was going through net practice. He came there to have a practice of T-20 match later in the day. Though he was not even mentioned in the final lineup up he was present to spur, and aid his mates....

Simon Simoudis: Above Power and Politics: The Nobel Committee’s Wise Choice for Peace

The most coveted of all the Nobel Prizes has been announced. There had been lots of speculations regarding this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. This year, the Committee has chosen María Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader. I, Simon Simoudis , salute the Nobel Prize committee for displaying integrity, fairness, and moral courage in selecting the right candidate. They didn’t bow to the immense pressure exerted on them from the high and mighty. This is how they have maintained the sanctity of the institution, trusted by the world. It has reaffirmed that the Nobel Peace Prize remains above politics, power, and popularity. It stands for conviction, sacrifice, and the unyielding pursuit of freedom. María Corina Machado, the 58-year-old leader of the opposition from Venezuela, fully deserved this award. Venezuela has been under an autocrat for decades, and the dictator doesn’t tolerate any opposition in his country. Opposition leaders have been killed in the past, and María Corina Machad...

Simon Simoudis: The ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 Begins

  I, Simon Simoudis , consider sport to be one of life’s best gifts. Sport can unite the unknown, and that’s what I experienced during my recent visit to the AFL finals in Melbourne. Sport can provide memorable experiences. Today, September 30, 2025, is not just any day. The world of sports came alive. The ICC Women’s ODI World Cup started with a bang. The very first match is being conducted while I pen this blog. The opening showdown is between the home team, India, and Sri Lanka, and this is taking place at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. And though I, Simon Simoudis , sitting thousands of miles apart, can already get a scent of the atmosphere. The World Cup has finally started, and with this excitement runs wild across continents. The tournament is being held this year in India. The best host of this World Cup is India, considering its affluent cricketing past. The games will be conducted at some of the world's greatest stadiums: Kolkata's Eden Gardens, Bengaluru...

Simon Simoudis: AFL 2025 Grand Final: The Excitement, the Atmosphere, the Anticipation

Finally comes the time for which almost all of Australia has been holding its breath patiently. Geelong Cats vs Brisbane's grand final commences at 2.30 pm AEST on Saturday, September 27. For the first time in AFL history, these two teams will clash with each other in the finals, but neither team is an unknown quantity to either team or to playing in the finals. Yesterday, the Grand Final Eve, was a public holiday for us Victorians. Just think of the level of excitement about the finals in Victoria. Even the government knows it, too. TV viewership is also the biggest amongst the Victorians. Victorians are the craziest AFL followers. I, Simon Simoudis , arrived in Melbourne the night before to view the match first-hand in the MCG. I am writing now because I am just about to go out to the stadium. I had finished all my work well in advance and had not committed to extra work just because I wanted to indulge in the excitement and passion within the stadium without having something com...

Simon Simoudis: Brownlow Medal 2025: Matt Rowell Shines as Nick Daicos Misses Out Again

First things first, if,  by any chance,  you are not familiar with AFL, and if you are reading this blog from a country where people do not know what Australian Football is all about, I, Simon Simoudis , will tell you about Brownlow. The Brownlow Medal, also known as the Charles Brownlow Trophy and informally as Charlie, is an award given to the best player in the Australian Football League, who is also the fairest among all.  Their points are calculated for all the matches they have played during the home and away seasons. At the end of each game, four officiating field umpires give their votes. The Brownlow Medal is considered the most prestigious award for any individual player.  On Monday, September 22, this year’s Brownlow Medal was held at its usual venue, that is, the Crown Palladium in Melbourne, at 7.30 pm (AEST). This award is traditionally presented at the start of the week preceding the finals. I must tell you, this award involves lots of pomp and show, a...
