Como boss Cesc Fabregas: "When I arrived four years ago as a player, we used to get changed in a bar. Today we're in the Champions League.

"Today I was speaking with two physiotherapists - we used to train without a sports centre, in a place I can’t even remember where it was. We had massages inside a bar, next to a pitch.

"Everyone used to leave at 12 or 12:30, there was nobody around. And today we are fourth in Serie A."

Know about the Leiden (Aanaimangalam) copperplates retrieved by India from Netherlands after many centuries:

> The first copper plate to be discovered on Cholas
> Excavated by Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) during the construction of Fort Vijf Sinnen around 1700
> Brought to the Netherlands in 1712 by a pastor, whose descendants donated it to Leiden University in 1862
> Deciphered in 1886 by Pandit Natesa Sastri and Burgess

> Issued by GOAT king Rajaraja the first
> 21 copper plates held together by a bronze ring with the regal seal
> First 5 plates are in Sanskrit, rest 16 are in Tamil
> Weighs 30kg, and are numbered from plates 2-21
> Mentions the lineage of Cholas starting from Vishnu till Surya, Ikshavaku and then Manu, the king who gave justice to a bereaved cow
> Mentions about Devasura Manthan with Shiva becoming Neelakanta, and the Amrita being distributed to Devas by a Chola king

>Records the historic grant given by Rajaraja to ruler of Sri Vijaya (Indonesia) for constructing a Chulamanivarma Vihara in Aanaimangalam of Nagapattinam district
> Boundaries of the Vihara were determined by the ceremonial circumambulation of a female elephant
>Sanskrit plates were written by Kottaiyur's Ananta Narayanan of Vashishta gotra
> Documents in detail the 41 officials who executed the edict, the artisans who wrote out the words and the sculptors who rendered the inscription
> Poetically states that only Veda Vyasa can truly capture the fully glory of Cholas, but the author is trying his best
> States "As long as the crescent adorned Shiva resides on Kailasha and Vishnu does Yoga Nithirai on Paarkadal, and the earthly lamps Sun and Moon drive darkness away, may the Chola clan protect this Earth"
> In the summer of 2023, the Indian government submitted a request to Leiden University to return the Chola Plates
> The Leiden/Aanaimangalam Chola Plates will now go to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in New Delhi

@sumanthraman Not fentanyl, its Xylazine that is the zombie drug. I saw you blabber something similar about how Bayesian method is a weighted approach on a TV channel. Why do you misinform public in this way just to appear sounding intelligent?

@thekaipullai Unilever's ice cream has different brand names in different countries like Wall's (UK), Algida (Italy), including Ben & Jerry's which is mostly milk-based. This post appears to view the selling of the whole ice cream division through an India-centric lens & to glorify Amul.

@sumanthraman What great political decisions did my preceding generations take, Sir? They made Kamarajar lose, elected people who grew their family and amassed wealth. Their choices have left the next generations to pick up the pieces.

Record number of NRIs flew in from the UK, Scotland, Singapore and beyond.. just to cast their vote!

Domestic airfares into Tamilnadu surged sharply on polling day, nearly tripling, as travel demand spiked

On a Singapore–Trichy IndiGo flight, the pilot dropped the usual pleasantries and asked, “Who’s flying back just to vote?” Almost the entire cabin raised their hands 👇🏻

Heavy traffic congestion was witnessed on the GST Road from Perungulathur leading up to Kilambakkam Bus Stand on Thursday morning. Vetrivel Rajan, an advocate, said that he was stranded on the stretch for nearly two hours on his way to vote in Oorapakkam from Tambaram. “I am not sure when I will reach and when I will cast my vote. I did not expect this kind of jam when I started from Tambaram,” he said, Saptarshi Bhattacharya reports.

@ajarrodkimber If Bazball can bat at 3 RR on day 1 and call it pragmatic, why can't they do the same on day 5 at Edgebaston?

@Athersmike @SkyCricket @nassercricket It's perfectly fine to demand a team to either stretch for the win or bat it out. Rain helps Eng, but all this talk about 608 too late, bollocks!
