From sleeping in a crematorium with just ₹21 to training India’s biggest cricket stars — this is the incredible journey of Raghavendra Dwivedi.
Once a young boy chasing his cricket dream in Hubli, fate had other plans. Today, his 150 kmph throwdowns help players like Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma prepare for the world stage.
An unsung hero of Indian cricket, Raghu proves that sometimes the biggest champions are the ones behind the scenes.

Every now and then sport produces a moment that challenges an old assumption
This rocket-like free kick from Manisha was one of those moments
Challenged the assumption that raw football talent doesn’t exist in India
Our real challenge is to locate it early and build an ecosystem that can nurture it
Because the rockets are clearly there.
We just need more launchpads
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽

"Equity regulation cannot be inequitable. The UGC Regulation is irrational. It must be amended."- Santishree Pandit, JNU VC. She had a choice - stay silent like the govt and all those it appoints, or speak up. She spoke up. Now she is being maligned.
Support her. Stand with her.
3⃣5⃣6⃣* matches of utmost commitment and determination 🫡
Congratulations to #TeamIndia captain Harmanpreet Kaur on becoming the most-capped international player in women’s cricket 👏👏

In the wilds of Kabini, a rare moment of coexistence unfolded. A golden leopard and a melanistic panther came to drink from the same waterhole—two sides of the same wild, each graceful, each cautious, each a reminder of nature’s quiet wonders. Sohan Singh, born and raised in Bangalore, has chased such moments for years. His love for the forests turns fleeting glimpses into stories that most of us only dream of witnessing. Some encounters are not just photographs, they are lessons in patience, respect, and the hidden magic of the jungle.

For nine straight days, Vidushi Deeksha V didn’t just dance — she endured, believed, and made history.
The Bharatanatyam dancer from Udupi, Karnataka performed continuously for 216 hours, beginning on 21 August 2025 and finishing on 30 August 2025, in the auditorium of Dr. G. Shankar Women’s College.
With only 15 minutes of rest every three hours, she pushed through exhaustion — both physical and mental — to earn her place in the Golden Book of World Records.
Deeksha’s achievement is more than a record. It’s a reminder of what devotion, discipline, and a woman’s willpower can truly create.

This was Nepal's cricketing equivalent of Dipa Karmakar's fourth-place finish at the Rio Olympics after a terrific execution of the challenging Produnova vault.
Daring attempt. Won hearts. Deep heartbreak eventually.
Historic, heroic and a tale of cruel margins.

She didn’t start with a classroom. She started with a wall.💛
Born in Jammu & Kashmir and now based in Mumbai, artist and educator Rouble Nagi has spent years taking learning to the places the world often ignores — slums, lanes, and forgotten communities.
Through her Rouble Nagi Art Foundation, she has built 800+ community learning centres, where murals on walls teach literacy, maths, science, history, and life values — turning entire neighbourhoods into living classrooms.
She has also repaired over 1.5 lakh houses across slums and villages.
Now, she has won the $1 million Global Teacher Prize 2026 at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, often called the “Nobel of teaching.”
And she says she’ll use the prize to build a free vocational training institute — so more dreams can finally have a chance.
