Is KFANDRA hinting at the announcement to be made on April the 9th, 2024?

Mr. Smith to sing!

To liven up life in general, Mr. Smith has decided to pick up the mic and sing a few songs.
The intrepid Mr. Smith is part of the commentary team for the Highlights Shows along
with Mr. Dlamini. In the future he plans to rope in Mr. Dlamini as well as the players.
Mr. Smith will be translating some old Hindi songs into English and singing without any practice, training or skill. He told us that he's grown up on these songs and there are so many non-Hindi speakers out there that may have heard the songs, liked them, but have never understood them. 
Mr. Smith wants to show everyone that the songs are indeed extremely good, well made and well sung and this show will just make everyone appreciate the original so much more.
The series is called, 'Mr. Smith's Classics!'
The first episode was published at 2 pm on 27/03/24.

For the blokes that are unable to attend sessions!

KFANDRA has settled in well in it's new abode and is all the more open to providing an opportunity for players that are unable to dedicate 3 sessions a week towards training but can at least commit themselves to becoming a KFANDRA member, with the focus only being that you believe in its ETHOS.
KFANDRA will be targeting both football and rugby, during the monsoon months and most always football between September and June. The payment of fees during the monsoon months will allow you to attend all tournaments organized by KFANDRA and during the non-monsoon months, the KLC Football tournament.
KFANDRA is now opening its doors to players that want to be a part of a professional organization but who can't always attend the sessions. All that is required of the player is for Mr. Khare to approve your membership and for the fees to be paid regularly. Attending sessions for these players will not be compulsory.
And so, if you think you fall into this bracket, then please email KFANDRA @ for inquiries related to becoming a member - Mr. Mukul Inamdar - mukul104@gmail.com and Mr. Shubhankar Inamdar - inam1shubh@yahoo.co.in with a politely worded email to see what you have to do, to begin the process of becoming a member.
(Please note that KFANDRA is not a professional club, but an Academy and the so called 'club' mentality is frowned upon).

Have a business?

KFANDRA is always eager to help it's players in whatever way it can.
KFANDRA has asked its players to send in info about their business along with their Company logo. The only criteria is that their enterprise or 'business' should be owned in full by them.
Khare said, 'even if it's a chance for the players to get to know what their teammates are doing away from KFANDRA, this step is in the right direction. While it's always wise to know what your mates are up to in the real-life, them doing what they may be doing may be of use to you or someone you know in the future. At KFANDRA there's only time for training and never time for a social chit-chat, apart from a fun gathering. And it's been ages since we had one. While KFANDRA has always created ads in the videos it's released in the past, this step to 'advertise a Company' will be the first time in a long while. If you haven't seen the first 'business ad', go through KFANDRA's Home page and you'll see it there!
Please note that all submissions and 'ads' for this section are totally free of cost. KFANDRA will be displaying the info free of cost.

March 2024's blast from the past!

All about the KLC

 To attract only those players that are dedicated, disciplined and are committed to train and play with passion and intensity, while at the same time, not having to resort to violence and trying to win at allcosts. The term 'to win at all costs' implies trying to win by use of violence and by cheating. As it has always been in any organization run by Khare/KFANDRA, every player, team, club and organization will obviously always try and win a match, but what is most important, that it won't try and win the match at any cost. Winning a match is only by fair and legal means and in victory, humility is personified. Thereby, losing a match is not the end of the world, but only a chance to learn from mistakes and to congratulate the winning team as well as those teammates that gave their all during the game, playing or in reserve.

Thursday 5.45 am 28/03/24

Mr. Smith was delighted at the comments and messages! He's already translating a few more, if of course the public want some fun entertainment. In the end, it is the voice only he can like. Mr. Khote meanwhile wants to be the first guest on Mr. S's show and is planning on singing in Marathi by translating English songs he grew up listening too and some other hit songs. 
KFANDRA wonders if the public needs so 'much' entertainment!
In other news -
7 players dropped out of this mornings session as the workload in the players real-lives continues. KFANDRA's plan to reveal the KLC6 plans on the 9th is still on as it feels the players will get a bit free by then.

Mr. Dlamini and Mr. Khote were both seen running around the KFANDRA Media Office chasing a very petrified and nervous looking Mr. Smith. They were teasing the poor man about his 'solo vocal act' in the new series beginning today at 2 pm called 'Mr. Smith's Classics'.
Mr. D and Mr K were heard 'singing loudly' in the office corridors before they were chased away by an angry bull dog and his friend, a persian cat. Mr. Smith told us later that he doesn't know why he's being teased like this because both Mr. D and Mr K will be singing on the show too. And the players will be asked to sing as well.
Mr. Smith was adamant about delaying the shows release, but one of KFANDRA's staff members, who has a soft spot for Mr. S, is sure to persuade him to okay the release by giving him some much needed confidence.
As for the rest of us, we do hope everyone enjoys the show. In these tense times, everyone surely needs a spot of fun-time.
In other news -
Gcinaphi the cat, star of the KFANDRA show 'Tales of the Unexpected series', is slightly depressed after her boyfriend/husband Ghenghis Khan (not related to the tyrant Genghis Khan and also the crazy board-game man Shahbaz Khan), has gone AWOL. After being whacked by some unknown useless human being some months ago, the now lame Ghenghis appeared at the KFANDRA Office to recuperate. After gaining some much needed energy and confidence, Ghenghis was himself again, no doubt in his own eyes. He left the office to do what he does and always came back after a few days. But after his latest exit, it's been 7 days and Gcinaphi can be seen looking off into the distance as if wondering where her 'bloke' has gone off to.
Mr. Smith has dedicated this morning's 1st episode to Gcinaphi and Ghenghis and their love story. While Gci is now 10 years old, Ghenghis should be around 20.

April 9th has been tentatively set as the date on which the KLC6 will be officially declared as open. This will be the first time a season will last for one entire year, albeit from April'ish to May'ish. Till then, the players are free to try and glean as much information from the KFANDRA staff if they can. This will be difficult as they're sworn to secrecy. And if they do reveal secret stuff, the players will find the info difficult to understand as KFANDRA is still working on a what should be a season that succeeds and does not fail.
A KFANDRA spokesperson said that barring a player or two, April 9th is a date that most of the 'heady winds' circulating around the players will be ending. This should mean that the players will be able to free up some time for KFANDRA and their fake-lives.
I don't know about anyone else, but this reported is dying to see the new KLC6 plans!
In other news -
There seems to be a lot of humming and whistling going on in the KFANDRA Media Studio. And Mr. Smith seems to be gargling a lot these days. We wonder why? 

KFANDRA's History

KFANDRA and the Adults Initiative. (KFANDRAAI). Is now once again KFANDRA!

History

KFANDRA was formed in the year 2000 and then registered under the Charity commissioner in 2001. The aim of the Academy was to coach kids in a professional manner, while at the same time teaching them moral values. At it's inception, a strong Mens team was also formed and the kids at the Academy were urged to dream of playing for the adult team.
For the technically advanced in football, opportunities such as trials with professional clubs were arranged, so that the players could have a chance at turning pro. Unfortunately, Rugby was a sport that was unheard of in this country and KFANDRA introduced it in Pune. Rugby was used more as a strength and personality building tool as there was not future in rugby professionally. Incredibly, the fees charged were negligible and some kids never paid at all as KFANDRA did not charge those family's that could not afford to pay even the smallest fee. Practice was held every day of the week for 2 hours in the evenings.
More than a decade later, the Academy realized that a majority of the urban youth were not inclined to pursue the chance of turning pro as it required time and an unfaltering dedication to succeed. Especially as the path to turn pro was not defined clearly. Football in Pune and for that matter, India, is not conducted in a way that is conducive to a healthy and comfortable future. But along the way, KFANDRA created quite a few players that ended up playing for their State of Maharashtra and managed to field a group of teenagers in the local tournaments against adults sometimes twice or thrice their age. And some of the greatest achievements by KFANDRA was to create a girls team in both football and rugby. The girls proved that they were just as good as the boys when a few players played at the national level in football, while in rugby the KFANDRA Womens team was the first team in the entire country to play an official Rugby Union 7's match against a Womens team from Hong Kong. They were also the first to play a 15's match in India as well. The girls and women also achieved a feat that KFANDRA had never achieved before, which was for some of the players to pull on their international jersey's because they were selected to play for their country.
The revenue was negligible though and eventually, with the ground rent sky rocketing, KFANDRA had to call it a day in 2018.
It was in 2005/2006 when Thunderboltz approached Mr. Khare to coach them. To cut a long story short, TZ allowed Mr. Khare to begin a tournament that ran for up to 8 months in a year, which focused on the ethos and punctuality. Another organization that Khare ended up coaching, KITFO/SAS also joined the tournament. The TZLC was separate from FIFA and Khare has even published it's own set of rules, called the HandyHandbook. 
The list of players went over 100 until during the lock down in June '20. During this period, Khare resigned from KITFO/SAS. Recently the reformed TZLC became the KTZLC and had over 60 members aged from 16 upwards, with the oldest player in his fifties, which was headed by KFANDRAAI.

November 2020
Khare resigned from Thunderboltz and is now running everything through KFANDRAAI. He has stated that he has worked for 15+ years at TZ as an employee and now the time has come, where he wants to do what he did for others, for the benefit of others, to set off on his own and take total control.

April 2022
The name KFANDRAAI was withdrawn and is back to being called KFANDRA.

May 2022 to June 2023
KFANDRA introduced a new system where the players did their warm up and stretching through audio recordings, known at KFANDRA as WOOS (WarmUP - WOO and Stretching - S). This frees up time for the Coach Sir to set up the drills for the session.
Quite a few new drills were also created, such at the 6 minute kill drill, minutes of madness and many more.
The KLC4 was a grand success, even after the unceremonious exit of the group of players from outside of KFANDRA (ACU), that was to take part in it. KFANDRA made a few changes to ensure that the KLC4 could continue being competitive. NSTTP (The Northern and Southern Territorial Pact) created by 'The Almighty Zoltan' was introduced to replace ACU.
The Quasi-Membership Initiative was chucked in the rubbish bin and KFANDRA vowed never to allow non-members from participating again. 
Until a few months down the line when a player on trial for membership of KFANDRA, accused KFANDRA of 'insulting' his parents and stating that it was too 'tiring to be respectful and say sorry constantly', KFANDRA created two 'Departments' (HOOLI and PNMIM) to look after the possible re-entry of non-members into the KLC and new membership aspirants.
The two Departments have been converted to one, the PNMID.
