A boy who must be less than 10 years old is being asked to say words like

“ODUGALI”

Which is basically a slur that is usually directed at a woman to demean her and to character-shame.

That’s @Udhaystalin AKA the L”LOW”P for you.

They gather from various parts of Chennai, coordinating through Instagram and Telegram groups. An investigation must be conducted to identify such social media groups and take strict action against them. They were roaming around like this starting from 8 PM last night. Many of these vehicles did not even have rear license plates. Action must also be taken against the traffic police and patrol units who failed to monitor them in this area. @ChennaiTraffic

The DMK and the AIADMK are targeting the personal life of CM Vijay. Even worse, the DMK is using children to campaign and say awful things. This will backfire badly on both these parties. If people cared deeply about the personal lives of politicians and based their votes on this, both the Dravidian parties would have been history by now.

Kumkum Mohod and the 2 days Indian archery will never forget.

7x in a row. Since 1998, South Korea had won every women's team recurve gold at the Asian Games.

On 2 October 2026, they were shooting for an 8th.

Standing in the way was a 17 year old from Amravati, whose first bow had cost about ₹3,000.

Recurve is the Olympic style bow, the one whose limbs curve away from the archer at the tips. At the Games, archers shoot it at a target 70 metres away. The ten ring, dead centre, is about 12 cms wide.

Now imagine hitting that, with the whole country watching.

Kumkum Anil Mohod was born on 10 March 2009. In 2018, she was still a schoolgirl, not yet 10, when her mother, Rupali, saw a relative's daughter practising at an archery academy in Amravati, run by coach Prafull Dange. She thought Kumkum should try it.

The 1st bow was a wooden Indian bow. Her father calls it a bamboo bow. It was paid for with money her grandmother gave her.

6 months later, she won a silver medal at the sub-junior nationals.

Her father, Anil Manohar Mohod, makes cardboard boxes for sweet shops in Amravati. As the training costs grew, even the shared auto to the academy became too much. So he took her on his motorcycle.

A 2nd hand bow carried her for years. Later, the family bought a recurve bow from savings built up over time.

She made her international debut in 2025.

At the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, India's women's recurve team of Kumkum, Ankita Bhakat and Kirti Sharma reached the gold medal match. India had never made that final before. Ankita had been on the team that won bronze at Hangzhou.

The last set went to the wire. Korea finished on 54. India had to match it. Kirti's arrow was first called an 8, and a review upgraded it to a 9.

Then came Kumkum's last arrow. It was a ten.

The set was tied. India beat South Korea 5-3, the first women's recurve team gold in the country's history.

The same day, she and Dhiraj Bommadevara took silver in the mixed team event.

The next morning

Today, she was back at the line. She beat Korea's Kang Chaeyoung, the reigning world champion, 6-4 in the quarterfinal. In the semifinal against China's Zhu Jingyi, the 2025 World Championships silver medallist, Zhu's last arrow was a 9. Kumkum needed a 10 to win.

She shot a 10, and won 6-2.

In the final, she faced another Korean, Oh Yejin. It went to 5-5, and to a shoot-off, one arrow each. Oh shot an 8.

Kumkum shot a 10.

She became the 1st Indian woman to win an individual recurve medal at an Asian Games, and it was gold. India's only earlier individual recurve medal at the Games was a silver, won by Tarundeep Rai in 2010. Her run to the final also earned India a country quota place for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.

In two days, she had beaten Korea's team and two of Korea's archers.

Her father says her biggest dream is still ahead: the Olympics.

A man who makes boxes for other people's sweets. A grandmother's savings. A motorcycle that carried a little girl and her bow to practice. A bow made of bamboo.

And a girl who, when a semifinal needed a 10, shot one, and when gold came down to a single arrow, shot another.

None of them has tweeted in support of Captain Smit Machchhar so far, because that would hurt their vote bank.
If that plane had crashed, the same people would have been the first to attack the Hindu pilot.

🚨 Jose Mourinho on Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola comparisons:

“Someone asked me this question before and I said, ‘Before I answer, tell me something. Where are we starting Alex Ferguson’s career?’

She said, ‘Manchester United.’

I said, ‘No, no. Then already we have a problem.’

People talk about Ferguson and immediately they see Old Trafford. The trophies, Cantona, Beckham, Cristiano, Rooney, the Champions League.

I see Aberdeen first.

This is a man who went into Scotland when Celtic and Rangers were supposed to own everything.

He wins the league with Aberdeen.

Then he does it again.

And again.

Then apparently dominating Scotland with Aberdeen wasn’t difficult enough, so he goes into Europe.

Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid in the final.

European trophy.

Then the Super Cup.

I remember once joking with him, ‘Mister, you could have retired before Manchester United and still spent the rest of your life telling everybody you were a very good manager.’

He laughed and said something like, ‘I would’ve been bored.’

That tells you everything about him.

Because then he goes to Manchester United.

And people speak today as if he arrived at the Manchester United we all know now.

No.

They hadn’t won the league for 26 years.

So this man had already disturbed the natural order in one country, came to another country and apparently decided the natural order there needed disturbing too.

Thirteen league titles later, now everybody remembers United as the giant.

That is the funny thing about football.

Sometimes a manager becomes so successful that people eventually use the size of the club he helped build as an argument against what he achieved there.

So if you ask me to choose?

I remember Aberdeen.

Because before Ferguson had Manchester United, Manchester United had to go and find Ferguson.

And they found him in Scotland with a European trophy he’d just taken off Real Madrid.

For me, that changes the conversation completely.”

[Suprvirat @MostlyKohli]

You'll be shocked after hearing what Captain Smit Machchar said to the passengers 🚨

Doctor Maya Peretz -
“Smit is truly a brave man. Everyone on that plane was brave. Everything was going normally, and I was peacefully taking a nap. Suddenly, the whole plane shook so violently that people started panicking.

After some time, some of us saw the cockpit door being opened. I was sitting in the last seats, so I couldn't clearly see what had happened. But when people started attacking the Muslim pilot, Captain Smit said, ‘Leave him. If anyone can control the plane, have a look.’

Some of us were even ready to throw that man out of the plane. But Captain Smit and few of us doctors insisted that we should not do it and let officials deal with him. I truly want my daughter to become as great a human being as him. I pray to lord that he recovers soon.”

No matter which country you belong to, everyone should aspire to be a human like Smit 🙏❤️

As Chikitha Taniparthi became the first 🇮🇳 to win 2 gold in Nagoya, father Srinivasa was sowing paddy. With no TV or phone, he didn't see her compete. But Chikitha's journey began only because he bet the farm on her, mortgaging it to buy her first bow.

Had this man not found the courage to fight back after being repeatedly attacked with an axe capable of cutting through metal—while bleeding profusely—and had the presence mind to trigger the hijack/emergency code, initiate the emergency response and open the cockpit door to allow passengers to assist him, the aircraft’s subsequent dive could have had catastrophic consequences.

Had that aircraft not been recovered, the geopolitical consequences for the Middle East could have been profound and potentially irreversible.

Sometimes history turns on the courage, resilience and presence of mind of one person.

Yes. One Indian man.

[Overton @overton_news]

This may be the most incredible detail of the entire story.

Reuters has reported that the pilot who was stabbed aboard FlyDubai Flight FZ 1073 manually released the lock on the cockpit door while he was lying on the floor.

That pilot’s name is Captain Smit Machchhar.

FOX: “The wounded pilot, listen to this, covered with blood and lying on the floor, had clicked open the release of the cockpit door.”

“A second set of pilots on board who were due to replace the first pair, landed the plane.”

“A pilot who had just been stabbed, had the wherewithal to open that cockpit door. This man can be described as none other than a hero.”

That decision allowed the replacement pilots to reach the cockpit and take control of the aircraft.

His heroic actions likely saved the the lives of every passenger on board.

When I was in Madurai Medical College Oasis Hostel,
One person wanted AC in his room. As usual Hostel Management refused. The matter came to the Dean.

Prof. Dr. Balakrishna Rao Sir was the Dean. He patiently explained that the wiring in hostel was designed for 10 amp plugs and you can use it for tube lights, fans, reading lamps etc.

To use AC, you need wiring which can handle higher loads. Using heavy electrical equipment in the routine low amp wiring may cause electric short circuit and even lead to fire accidents

He said "Apply for a new 3 Phase, Pay for it, Pay for Fresh Wiring to your room, Give a declaration that if EB Bills are not paid, it can be deducted from your caution deposit and we will permit. short circuit"

What was solved 23 years ago in the adjacent district medical college under the same state government need not be a problem in Virudunagar

Even in this case The Management could have asked PWD for high amp wiring and allowed students to use Kettles, Boilers, Air Friers etc

Times have changed
Management also must change with time

PS : I am pleasantly surprised that the new generation students want to eat healthy.

🇮🇳 REMEMBER THIS MAN: CAPTAIN SMIT MACHCHHAR.

An Indian captain flying hundreds of people from Dubai to Tel Aviv was stabbed in his own cockpit.

Wounded, bleeding, with the aircraft plunging thousands of feet, he fought back.

Then passengers and crew did something extraordinary:

They stormed the cockpit.
They restrained the attacker.
Other pilots took control.
And that plane LANDED.

Hundreds of families got their loved ones back today because ordinary people refused to freeze when everything went wrong.

Captain Smit Machchhar — India and the whole WORLD should be proud of you. 🇮🇳

And to the passengers and crew who ran toward the danger instead of away from it:

Heroes. Every single one of you.

This is what courage looks like.

[Chino @ChinoUTD]

🚨 Sir Alex Ferguson on Manchester City being found guilty of breaching the Premier League’s financial rules:

“I read the news and the first person I thought about was Carlos Tevez.

Funny, isn’t it? After all these years.

We wanted Carlos to stay. David Gill spoke to his representatives, we made our offer, they said we’d left it too late and eventually he went across Manchester.

Then City put up that bloody ‘Welcome to Manchester’ poster.

I remember looking at it and thinking, ‘They haven’t just signed one of our players. They want us to know they can.’

That was when I called them a small club with a small mentality.

But there was something else happening around that period that people forget.

Suddenly City could walk into conversations for players that previously would have been choosing between United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Madrid, Barcelona.

I remember one summer hearing that Adebayor had agreed to join City, then apparently his people were still contacting us and Chelsea.

I thought, ‘What a strange situation. Players who would rather be somewhere else are signing for City anyway.’

At the time, you simply accepted that they had enormous financial power. You competed with it.

That’s football.

But if you then discover years later that rules were being broken during the period in which you’re trying to compete with that financial power, you’re entitled to look back differently.

Because people will say, ‘Ferguson was just angry because City became successful.’

No.

I was angry before they were successful.

I was standing there in 2009 watching them take Tevez, chase players everywhere and put his face on a building to celebrate taking him from us.

Imagine telling me then, ‘Alex, one day the Premier League will investigate how all of this was being financed.’

I’d probably have pointed at the poster and said, ‘You might want to start there.’

And that’s the part people miss when discussing what happened afterwards.

Once you change the financial strength of one club, you don’t only change that club.

You change where players go.

You change what everybody else has to pay.

You change which manager gets which footballer.

You change title races before the first ball is kicked.

People can spend the next twenty years asking whether this player would’ve joined United, whether that player would’ve joined Chelsea, whether somebody else would’ve gone to Arsenal.

Nobody can prove those alternate histories.

But I know this much.

When I was fighting them, I thought I was fighting Manchester City.

Apparently I should’ve brought an accountant.”

[Joel Richardson @Joel7Richardson]

Israelis are amazing. A bunch of them on a plane. They hear a ruckus in the cockpit, smash the door open, save the captain who has been stabbed by the co-pilot, subdue and neutralize him, then they commandeer the plane and land it. Everyone survives. Name any other nation in the world that produces the kind of people capable of pulling this off.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

IT’S OFFICIAL: The @premierleague confirms Manchester City are the biggest cheats in British football history.
Punishment must hurt:
Relegate them, strip them of their fraudulently won titles + dock them 25pts for first 5 seasons if/when they get back in the Premier League.

[Akshat Shrivastava @Akshat_World]

1) We hand over ALL business in India to 4-5 corporates
2) Kill the competition entirely
3) Tax mid and small businesses like crazy
4) Turn citizens into a subscription model for airports, flights, mobile data, SIPs to a handful of players
5) Then we wonder why:-FIIs are leaving, people not making returns, no R&D happening

No competition = no innovation = predatory practices which turns citizens into subscription models for critical services.
