There's a guy who lives alone in the flat next to mine. He lives away from his parents, goes to the office around 10, comes back by 6, cooks his own meals, and spends his evenings singing. We spoke today, and I found out he's a CSE graduate from IIT Roorkee, earns around ₹70 LPA, and is divorced. Despite all that, he lives a very simple life. When I asked him what's next, he simply said, "I'm still figuring it out."
Many people today have everything on paper: a great degree, a high-paying job, and financial security. But they don't have their people. The next big wave in India, especially in metro cities, will be people living alone. More money, more careers, more independence, but fewer people around them.
Started the season with belief. Ended with back to back titles. 🏆
This team lived every emotion together. The highs, the pressure, the hurdles, and the unwavering support. It feels extra special because… this place is HOME! ❤️ @RCBTweets
Praggnanandhaa takes down Magnus Carlsen again! After defeating Magnus with the White pieces in Round 4, Praggnanandhaa defeated the World no.1 with the Black pieces in Round 8 of Norway Chess 2026.
Pragg kept up the pressure on the board and the clock - and Magnus finally cracked! What a superb win for Praggnanandhaa - not many people can say they've defeated Magnus twice in Classical Chess in the same event!
Going into the final 2 rounds, Pragg is on 12/24 points - just 2 points behind the leader Wesley So, and very much in the fight for the title!
