Break up feat Arnab Goswami 😀

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Gout Gout was at Ipswich Grammar School to play soccer. He had never trained as a sprinter. He was twelve years old, wearing sand shoes, and somebody told him to line up for a race at the school carnival.

The kid next to him was wearing spikes. He had won nationals.

Gout left him in the dust.

His classmate Tyson Walker was in the race too. "Everyone there stopped and watched," Walker recalled. "We had GPS athletics the next week and he broke every record and just didn't stop. He's just kept going faster."

A coach named Di Sheppard saw him run that day. She told him he could be an Olympic medalist. He later said it was the first time anyone had ever told him anything like that. He was twelve. He joined her squad and started training twice a week.

Here is where the story gets strange.

At 14 he ran 10.57 in the 100m, the fastest ever by an Australian under 16. At 15 he broke the national U18 200m record. At 16 he clocked 10.04 in a heat, then 10.17 legal in the final, then woke up the next morning and ran 20.04 in the 200m, breaking Peter Norman's Australian record from the 1968 Olympics. That record had stood for 56 years. Usain Bolt saw the footage, posted a photo, and wrote "He looks like young me."

The Bolt comparison is worth sitting with. Bolt didn't race 100 meters professionally until he was 21. His first professional 100m was 10.03. Gout Gout ran 10.00 flat at 18.

And his coach still only puts him in the gym two days a week. She's managing the fact that his body is still growing. The power phase of his development hasn't started. He is running these times on stride length and raw top-end speed alone.

His parents are Dinka, from South Sudan. They fled to Egypt, then to Australia, two years before he was born. Third of seven children. The family name was misspelled during transliteration from Arabic. It was supposed to be Guot. His father has been trying to change it back because "gout" is a disease name.

The kid kept running.

Brisbane 2032. Home Olympics. He'll be 24, the same age Bolt was when he set the 100m world record in Berlin. Adidas already signed him through that year.

The fastest man in Australian history started in sand shoes at a school carnival. Nobody told him to stop.

If this World Cup victory doesn’t feel that great to you - It’s fine. You were never an Indian cricket fan in the first place. You were always a specific player fan.

[KASHISH @crickashish217]

What an endearing laugh Samson has. Hahaha. Been some ride with his talent. Loads of frustration. You'd hope against hope that this is the start of a new wind for his career. Even if it isn't, three absolutely terrific knocks to win a World Cup is a memory worth saving.

Sorely missing Shubhman tbh. We're now understanding value of batsmen who stick around and dont just swing bat.

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.

[Revathi @revathitweets]

Spent loads of money to bring Messi, to organise everything, including build a private football ground for the CM for his practice, even convert a Cricket stadium to Football Ground BUT….forget to clean the washrooms & basic hygiene!

Videos from Uppal Cricket stadium where the much hyped Messi Vs Revanth Reddy match is about to take place.

This is the state of the washrooms there & the state of the stands!

Yuck!

Let me explain exactly why VLC is free despite 6B downloads, because no one seems to get it.

VLC doesn’t make money because making money would destroy the only thing that made it reach 6 billion downloads in the first place.

The player grew through a specific distribution loop: tech-savvy users install it once, it works perfectly on every weird video file they throw at it, and they recommend it to everyone forever. IT departments deploy it across entire companies. A Reddit comment from 2009 still drives downloads in 2025 because the answer never changed.

That recommendation engine dies the second ads appear. Not slowly. Immediately.

The users who drive VLC’s distribution are the exact people who understand what ads mean. Your incentives just switched from “make the best player” to “maximize impressions.” They see it, stop recommending it, and your growth engine shuts off.

Run the actual numbers. VLC gets maybe 50 million active users daily across 6 billion total downloads. Typical video player ad rates run $1-3 CPM. Even if you served ads on every playback session, you’re looking at maybe $50-150 million annually at absolute peak optimistic assumptions.

Sounds like a lot until you realize what Kempf actually traded it for.

VLC reaching 6 billion people made Kempf the person who built the infrastructure everyone depends on. He runs a video consulting business. He built dav1d, an AV1 codec that powers modern streaming. Being “the guy who kept VLC free” opens every door in video technology. Clients pay him to solve problems because he proved he optimizes for quality over quick monetization.

“Former ad-supported media player executive” gets you exactly zero of that leverage.

The people celebrating Kempf’s ethics are missing the calculation. He didn’t sacrifice millions for principles. He rejected $150M in highly uncertain ad revenue to build permanent positioning worth multiples of that in everything else he touches.

VLC free generates more value for Kempf than VLC monetized ever could. The trade was never even close.

[Mohammed Nihal @NihalMohammed07]

The monster in left image is Raj Prakash, some common man. He was sitting on window seat no. 49 in E2 coach of Vande Bharat.

BJP MLA from Babina (right), Rajeev Singh, politely ordered him to get up and shift to seat no. 8. This monster brutally refused.

Then, the helpless MLA called his law-abiding goons, who boarded the train at Jhansi and respectfully assaulted him, gently fracturing his nose in the process.

People like Raj Prakash are a blot on civilised society. Despite knowing that MLAs sacrifice everything, their honesty, integrity, politeness, and humility, to serve us, and the least we can do for them is to comfort them, he didn’t.

Hope Raj Prakash rots in jail.

[Tushar Gupta @Tushar15]

What an evening. No toxic fan clubs on social media. No star obsession in the commentary box. A group of youngsters willing to do the hard miles, play a Test like a Test, and not let their ego cloud their potential and performance. Jaiswal and Gill are leading India well.

[Rohit Swain @rhtswn]

A big day for Indian cricket as Gill and Jaiswal took down England bowlers & 2 ridiculous PR machines of the game.

@CYBTRAFFIC @HYDTP Also looks like serial offender as same day he was issued challan at 1522 hours. Exactly 1 hour before blocking free left.

[Rohit Swain @rhtswn]

@HYDTP car TS11 ET7056 blocking free left at Wipro signal. Will they be challaned as per the board seen in the pic? Pic clicked 17.06.2025 1622 hours

[Rohit Swain @rhtswn]

@CYBTRAFFIC @HYDTP Sir 2 circles indicates that brake is on .. 3 arrows indicate that vehicles are moving towards where you can clearly see signal green. I have also mentioned time of the pic and you can check cctv footage where this car was stagnant for atleast 60 seconds blocking free left.
