In this match, we should have pushed to end the game by the 17th over. However "statpadder Jurel" didn't even attempt to. NRR is very important right now because if CSK wins tomorrow then NRR will make the difference.
"All that Daenerys wanted back was the big house with the red door, the lemon tree outside her window, the childhood she had never known."
This has been widely discussed and debated in the ASOIAF community multiple times. However, I have never really understood the purpose of GRRM intentionally adding this false detail. It's been mentioned countless times in the books that lemon trees can not grow in Braavos, and it's almost said out loud in the Mercy sample chapter from The Winds of Winter.
“Seven hells, this place is damp,” she heard her guard complain. “I’m chilled to the bones. Where are the bloody orange trees? I always heard there were orange trees in the Free Cities. Lemons and limes. Pomegranates. Hot peppers, warm nights, girls with bare bellies. Where are the bare-bellied girls, I ask you?”
“Down in Lys, and Myr, and Old Volantis,” the other guard replied. He was an older man, big-bellied and grizzled. “I went to Lys with Lord Tywin once, when he was Hand to Aerys. Braavos is north of King’s Landing, fool. Can’t you read a bloody map?”
In multiple interviews, GRRM has highlighted that there is a supposed important 'revelation' attached to this that is yet to be seen in further books (if they ever come out). I have read multiple theories about her just living in the Sealord's palace instead; however, I hardly believe in that theory, simply because ASOIAF and GRRM are famous for subverting expectations. This would hardly be a very important reveal if she were just living in a different place without any certain consequences. GRRM has set up this mystery for almost 30 years. With regards to all this information, I wanted to know your theories and ideas surrounding this. Thankyou!

Edit: Just wanted to add some quotes by GRRM that prove that there will be a reveal.
>Very perceptive of you. Yes it does point to... Well that would be telling
>Question: “How old was Daenerys when she left the house with the red door, was it located close to the palace of the Sealord of Braavos?”
>GRRM: “That’s a interesting question. But I don’t think I’m going to answer it. There’s a certain revelation about the red door that will come into the books that I have yet to write. So we’ll keep an eye to it.”
>For example, when asked how old was Daenerys when she left the house with the red door, he said, “keep reading” and added that the red door is not just a memory of Daenerys’ happy childhood. There will be a lot more about these doors in TWOW.
I am an Indian student and want to take part in the IRIS National fair which is the pathway to represent the nation at ISEF. I know about the basic procedures within the competition, however I don't know the metrics on which a project is judged, and what kind of projects are likely to make it through, what things should I keep in mind while working on my project. If there are people on the subreddit who have participated in the competition then your help will be extremely helpful to me.
Started exploring their discography past their one hit wonder, 'Lady', and I was absolutely blown away. The way they sample songs reminds me a lot of the Discovery era of Daft Punk, with those strong instrumentals. In songs like 'Music Takes You Back' and 'Chillin ', the similarity is very evident. It is also quite fascinating that Discovery was only released 5-6 months before their album. Would love to hear your thoughts on it
Hello, this is my first post here! I am a CBSE student switching to IB next year. I am aiming for top US universities and I think that I have got the portfolio for it, which I will also further develop in my next 2 academic years. I have been in touch with Crimson Education to understand their plan.
Originally they gave me like a 12000 USD package with 8 Uni applications, basic stuff like LORs, essays, resume whereas afterwards when I told them about my class 10 results and reluctance to join, they switched up to an approx 6000 USD package with 10 Uni applications, 6 week coding workshop and all the basic stuff I previously mentioned.
My family earns around 30,000 usd yearly and 7,000 usd is used up in me and my sister's school fees, excluding the multiple extra curricular costs which we take part in. With this context, would you guys recommend I take this package or any other counselling?
