After the final, Argentina players were seen turning their backs on Spain while lifting the cup. Many thought this was a sign of disrespect, but it was later confirmed they were just looking at the goalposts, which they hadn’t seen all game.
A man earning ₹18,000 a month saved little by little to buy a ₹1,350 school bag for his daughter.
While buying it, he told the shopkeeper, "Please give me a strong one. It should last for a long time."
The next day, his daughter proudly took the new bag to school. Her classmates loved it. Everyone wanted to see it. Some opened the zipper, some checked the pockets, and some even tried it on.
While looking at the bag, one child accidentally pulled the zipper too hard, and it broke.
The classroom became silent.
A friend said, "Let's tell the teacher who broke it."
The girl walked toward the teacher but then stopped. She thought, "Dad worked so hard to buy this bag. I'll ask him first what I should do."
When she reached home, she tried to hide the bag, but her father noticed the broken zipper.
He gently asked, "What happened, dear?"
Through tears, she explained everything and asked, "Should I complain to the teacher tomorrow?"
Her father smiled and said, "I'm not worried about the ₹1,350 bag. I'm happy that you didn't blame anyone in anger. Sometimes people make mistakes without meaning to."
The next day at school, the girl whose hands had broken the zipper came to her with ₹500 from her piggy bank and said, "This is all I have right now. I'll pay the rest later."
The daughter refused to take the money.
When she told her father about it that evening, he smiled and said,
"See, if you had argued or complained immediately, you might have lost a friend. But because you stayed calm and trusted her, she got the chance to admit her mistake."
That day, the daughter learned an important lesson:
Money can replace things, but honesty, kindness, and the courage to accept a mistake are far more valuable.

@anuradisanayake you said you will clean up SL cricket. What are you waiting for ?
Since Shammi Silva and his administration took charge, what have we truly achieved on the world stage?
📉 Test win ratio below 20%
📉 ODI win ratio below 50%
📉 T20 win ratio below 40%
We lose at home.
We lose abroad.
And worse than losing — we lose without fight, without clarity, without identity.
Sri Lanka Cricket Allegations of corruption.
Endless claims of mismanagement.
An arrogance and defiance from the Board that feels completely disconnected from the pain of millions of fans.
Not a single semi final spot in any ICC tournament in 12 years ! Multiple knock outs in the first round.
your people. There is a lot of work to be done at all levels to course correct. We can’t do the same things over and over and expect different results when the cricket world around us has evolved so quickly. We haven’t adapted and the danger is irrelevance.
There is a lot of hurt all round. The fans devastated , disappointed , angry. The players are hurting badly too. I have been in similar dressing rooms. It’s not easy. But this responsibility comes with the turf. It’s a burden and a great privilege to represent your country and
Muttiah Muralitharan nailed it in 2019: No rebuilding SLC without changing the rotten management.
Club mafia, Colombo cronyism, epic failures. Murali’s warning was spot on. Sack the old guard. Burn the system down. Merit from districts NOW
I don’t understand one thing — why haven’t people raised their voices for Sudan as much as they have for Gaza?
Is it because of racial differences, or is there some other reason?
