I love this club. 22 years we have waited. Enjoy it until your hearts are full. This fanbase is family to me. So so proud of Arteta and the squad. We have done it.
Champions of England.
I promise you this is only the start for this beautiful institution.

Some tragedies leave you at a loss for words.
The passing of two young athletes in Kerala is one such moment. My thoughts are with their families and the entire sporting community as we grieve this loss.
@ICICIBank repeated bad experience with @BlueDart_Inc for card delivery in Jadavpur. Rude agents, no prior call for KYC delivery.
Please reconsider your courier partner for Jadavpur #bluedart#icicibank
@BlueDart_ Extremely disappointed with A KYC-required ICICI card delivery handled with zero professionalism.
Agent shows up without prior call, behaves rudely, and refuses basic coordination.“I’ll call when I want” is not customer service. I do NOT want this agent .Send sm1 else
Lionel Messi is one of those rare athletes whose story transcends sport. His journey from a child fighting physical odds to a footballer who redefined excellence has moved millions across the world. As someone who has lived the life of an athlete, I hold profound respect and admiration for what he represents perseverance humility and an uncompromising pursuit of greatness.
Yet as his recent visit to India unfolded parts of it felt chaotic and left me quietly uneasy. It compelled me to pause and reflect not in judgment but in genuine concern about what we were really trying to achieve.
I fully understand the economics of sport. I understand commercial realities global branding and the magnetism of icons. I do not fault Messi in any way. He has earned every opportunity that comes his way and admiration for greatness is natural even beautiful.
But admiration must also invite introspection.
As a society are we building a culture of sport or are we simply celebrating individuals from afar.
Millions were spent for moments of proximity photographs and fleeting access to a legend. And yes it is people’s money earned honestly and theirs to spend as they choose. Still I can’t help but feel a quiet sadness wondering what might have been possible if even a fraction of that energy and investment had been directed toward the foundations of sport in our country.
Playgrounds where children can run freely. Coaches who can guide young talent. Grassroots programmes that give opportunity to those who may never otherwise be seen. Spaces where sport is not a spectacle but a daily habit a teacher and a source of dignity.
Great sporting nations are not built by moments they are built by systems. By patience. By belief in the ordinary child with an extraordinary dream.
Icons like Messi inspire us and that inspiration matters deeply. But inspiration must be met with intent. With long term commitment. With choices that reflect not just what excites us today but what will strengthen us tomorrow.
If we truly wish to honour legends like Messi the most meaningful way to do so is not through grand gestures but by ensuring that somewhere in India a young child has a field to play on a coach to believe in them and a chance to dream.
That is how sporting cultures are born. And that is how legacies endure.
@aubankindia I’d rather happily pay 1% forex charges on my IDFC First card than deal with AU Small Finance Bank’s pathetic servers and zero respect for customers. At least IDFC knows how to value and trust its users — something AU seriously needs to learn.

@aubankindia Applied for AU Ixigo Credit Card yesterday. Wasted half a day thanks to their pathetic, snail-speed servers —had to restart the process multiple times! 😤 Finally, after hours, the app went through… and today? Denied, aftr 750+ CIBIL & zero defaults. (1/3 ) #auixigo
Partnership that works. Romelu Lukaku and Antonio Conte after winning the Scudetto for Napoli. They won it together at Inter Milan in 2021. 🤗
