If there was a term that could be coined for "living under the shadows", it should be called Rahul Dravid. He is the epitome of it. You go ask someone who is your most favorite Indian cricketer, answer is almost never going to be Rahul Dravid.

Dravid once himself said "If my grandchildren don't remember the fact that I scored 10,000 runs in test and ODI cricket, I am confident they will remember that Sachin Tendulkar used to be my team mate"

But isn't that expected? Who in sane mind pays attention to a wall which guards gods, princes and kings of Indian cricket?

Some may call it sheer coincidences but I prefer to name it Dravid's tryst with fate. He is not fate's favorite child but he keeps smiling on. Isn't he the sincere one, the innocent one? Next time you think someone else stole your thunder or rub of the green isn't with you, remember this:

- Dravid scored a gritty 95 on debut against England at Lords, batting at no 7 only to be eclipsed by other debutant Ganguly who scored equally brilliant 131

- Scored a 145, a personal best for him in ODI against Sri Lanka only to be overshadowed by Ganguly's 183, coincidentally his career best too

- Scored a 153 few months later, hoping fate will be smiling upon him this time, bettered his personal best ODI score against NZ in world record partnership with Sachin at that time, but only remembered by Sachin's personal best 186*

- Scored a 270 which is 2nd highest score by an Indian in away test match but it faded away, only remembered for Sehwag's 309 and declaration controversy when Sachin was at 194* in that series

- Scored 180 in 2nd innings following on in that famous 2001 come from behind Australia test, but better remembered by Laxman's 281 and Harbhajan's hattrick

- Dravid as captain is always labelled a transitional captain between Ganguly and Dhoni but he won test series in WI and ENG when winning a single test away for India was a dream. He also got first test win for India in SA. Captained India to WR most consecutive ODI victories chasing and joint most consecutive victories in ODIs at that time. But his captaincy got associated to only the 2007 WC failure and Greg Chappel - Ganguly controversy. That's all his captaincy is remembered for

- Every single one of his last game that he played for India across formats before his retirement India lost. Never got a grand farewell
Even his last ever game in IPL in 2013 got overshadowed because it was also Sachin's last ever IPL game. Yes he lost that one too!

- 2023 Ahmedabad WC final was going to be his last coaching stint for India and redemption of sorts to be a world cup winning Indian coach, something none of his peers under whose shadows he lived had achieved, but even that ended in heartbreaking defeat. Only to be lamented as failing to win a rigged world cup

28 years since his debut, and he had never won a WC, IPL or a champions trophy as a player or coach and it could very well remain that way. But everything changed after that fateful phone call from Rohit.

One stormy afternoon in 2024, Rahul finally won. He didn't just lift the world cup in Barbados, he lifted his caged bottled up years of frustration, disappointment and infuriating tryst with fate. This WC win for Dravid meant he could finally beat fate in its own game and raw emotions were true testament to it. His curse was finally broken.

My hope is, this WC triumph does not get overshadowed by that fact that this was also Virat's and Rohit's retirement to T20Is, otherwise fate will have the most wicked way of getting back at him

A thread on one of the finest leaders, India ever had. One of the 21 elite cricketers to have scored 18000+ international runs. A leader who backed some of the finest match winners India had produced.

A player who experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, but never gave up. One of the most elegant batters and one of the best hitters of spin, I have seen. Let's talk about Sourav Ganguly, the God of OffSide and a revolutionary captain. (1/n)

Devil.

Nestlé baby food - Cerelac has global retail sales of above one billion US dollars. The highest figures are in low- and middle-income countries, with 40% of sales just in Brazil and India.

Guidelines from the WHO for the European region, which remains equally relevant for other regions state that, to prevent obesity and chronic diseases, no added sugars or sweetening agents should be permitted in any food for children under three.

The UK recommends that children under four avoid food with added sugars because of risks including weight gain and tooth decay. US government guidelines recommend avoiding foods and drinks with added sugars for those younger than two.

But Nestlé, the world’s largest consumer goods company, adds sugar and honey to infant milk and cereal products sold in many poorer countries - such as those in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Campaigners from Public Eye, a Swiss investigative organisation, sent samples of the Swiss multinational’s baby-food products and found added sugar in the form of sucrose or honey in samples of Nido, a follow-up milk formula brand intended for use for infants aged one and above, and Cerelac, a cereal aimed at children aged between six months and two years.

Tests on Cerelac products sold in India showed, on average, more than 2.7g of added sugar for every serving.

Biscuit-flavoured cereals for babies aged six months and older contained 6g of added sugar for every serving in Senegal and South Africa, researchers found. The same product sold in Switzerland has none.

Obesity is increasingly a problem in low- and middle-income countries. Childhood obesity is a major public health concern and it is on the rise in India - along with obesity, other metabolic disorders creep in - such as diabetes, heart disease and fatty liver.

It is not always easy for consumers in any country to tell whether a product contains added sugar, and how much is present, based on nutritional information printed on packaging alone [just like what we showed in our recent Citizens Protein Project: https://t.co/RQ3uiOr4ko]

Nestlé has double standards for the Western market compared to Asian market - like children in the developing regions "inherently deserve less"

- absolutely shameful, pathetic and disgusting.

I think its we got back our nutrition, especially for our children, back from locally sourced food sources, rather than depend on the "food industry."

Stop helping the sweetest villians grow taller.

The whole food and supplements industry is turning out to be the greatest scam in humankind history especially in developing nations - because we "adjust."
