In modern stadium projects, numerous fischer solutions are often installed simultaneously: among other things, air-conditioning and ventilation systems, façades, technical infrastructure, reinforcement connections and stadium seats are secured. The company’s systems thus help to transform visionary architecture into safe spaces for millions of people. “ Large stadiums are far more than just buildings – they are places full of emotions, memories and shared experiences. We are proud that our solutions form part of many world-famous arenas ,” says Alexander Bassler .

My Mother Sold Her Jewellery; I Want To Make Her Sacrifice Count: Kranti Goud
T20 World Cup: India pacer Kranti Gaud opened up on her early struggles and sacrifices made by her family, revealing that her mother sold her jewellery to buy a proper cricket kit for her, and she wanted to make their sacrifice count. Kranti, who hails from Madhya Pradesh, made her ODI debut in the tri-series featuring South Africa in Sri Lanka and her T20I debut on the tour of England, where she also returned stunning figures of 6-52. Speaking about her early struggles, Kranti said on JioStar, I never dreamt that big about playing cricket. Coming from a small village, from a place where girls are not even allowed to step out freely. If girls go out or try to do anything, they have to face taunts and criticism from people. But I always heard that those who keep working hard never lose. So, I just kept going. I kept bowling, kept learning and kept believing. I didn't let the noise around me stop me. I kept working hard, session after session, match after match. And today, I have reached this stage where I am representing India in the T20 World Cup. Wearing this jersey, standing on this big stage, it feels like all those struggles were worth it. Reflecting on the support she received from her family and the sacrifices made by her parents, Kranti added, If your family supports you, then what others say doesn't matter. Because those outsiders are not supporting you anyway. At that time, many girls were not even allowed to step out. But my parents were different. Everyone in my family always supported me. They never made me feel that I was doing something wrong. They believed in my dream. That support made all the difference. She continued, It gave me the strength to keep going and keep chasing my goal. When you know your family is with you, the world outside becomes easier to ignore. I am grateful to them for standing by me through every step of this journey because there were a lot of problems. I had to go and play matches, but there was always a shortage of money. My mother sold her jewellery to buy me a proper cricket kit. That was a huge sacrifice. My family was doing so much for me, and that made me feel responsible. I wanted to give something back to them. I wanted to make their sacrifice count. The 22-year-old fast bowler also shared that India's performances in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup and the title win led to the establishment of her native village Ghuwara. She continued, It gave me the strength to keep going and keep chasing my goal. When you know your family is with you, the world outside becomes easier to ignore. I am grateful to them for standing by me through every step of this journey because there were a lot of problems. I had to go and play matches, but there was always a shortage of money. My mother sold her jewellery to buy me a proper cricket kit. That was a huge sacrifice. My family was doing so much for me, and that made me feel responsible. I wanted to give something back to them. I wanted to make their sacrifice count. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Earlier, they were not allowed to step out of their homes freely. But now, because of the academy and my journey, they practise regularly. The World Cup win has played a huge role in this change.

A dream that refused to fade: Rehaan Farooqs journey to the spotlight
Music always stayed inside me Rehaan Farooq spent years pursuing music without knowing if it would ever become a career. Growing up in Tangmarg in a family where financial stability was often the priority, singing remained a personal passion rather than a realistic profession. The young singer, whose father works as a daily wager, grew up in modest circumstances. Like many young people from rural Kashmir, Rehaan faced limited opportunities and few platforms to showcase his talent. Despite that, he continued singing at local gatherings and among friends, holding on to his interest in music. There were times when becoming a singer felt impossible, Rehaan says. Life around us was focused on survival. But music always stayed inside me. For a long time, music remained a private pursuit. Professional recording, training, and performing on larger platforms seemed far beyond reach. The turning point came when director and creative producer RJ Umar Nisar noticed his potential and decided to work with him. According to the team behind the project, Rehaan spent more than a year preparing for his debut. The training focused not only on vocals but also on confidence, discipline, and understanding the emotional depth of a song. When I first got this opportunity, I was nervous and unsure about myself, Rehaan says. This journey changed my confidence and helped me believe in my abilities. The result of that preparation is DEEDARas Praran Chuss, Rehaans debut song. Rooted in Kashmiri folk and spiritual traditions, the song introduces him to a wider audience while staying connected to the regions cultural heritage. For Rehaan, one of the most significant moments came when the music video premiered at INOX Srinagar. I never imagined I would see myself on a cinema screen, he says. Watching people listen to my voice and connect with the song was a memorable experience. RJ Umar Nisar says Rehaans story reflects the experiences of many young people who continue working towards their goals despite financial and social challenges. Rehaan represents young people who come from ordinary backgrounds and continue to work hard for what they want to achieve, he says. Since its release, DEEDARas Praran Chuss has received positive responses from listeners. But beyond the song itself, Rehaans story is one of persistence. From singing quietly in Tangmarg to making his debut before a public audience, his journey has been shaped by years of effort, patience, and support from those who believed in his talent. For the young singer, the debut marks the beginning of a career he once thought might never be possible.
