Jamie Carragher on Japan leaving their World Cup dressing room spotless after the match:
🗣️ “I have to say, this deserves just as much attention as anything that happened on the pitch tonight. Everyone talks about goals, assists, and tactics, but this tells you everything about the culture of that team.
When I saw the dressing room, I honestly couldn't believe it. After ninety minutes of football, emotions running high, and a dramatic result, they still left the place looking like nobody had even been there.
People might look at it and think it's a small thing. It isn't. Small habits reveal big character. Respect doesn't only show itself during the national anthem or after the final whistle. It shows itself when nobody is watching.
That's what impresses me about Japan. They don't clean the dressing room because FIFA tells them to. They do it because it's who they are.
In football today, we're constantly hearing players talk about professionalism. Well, this is professionalism. Not social media posts. Not interviews. Actions.
And if I'm being honest, there are a lot of teams with bigger reputations that could learn something from this.
The scary thing is that this mentality often translates onto the pitch. Teams that respect every detail usually don't stop at cleaning dressing rooms—they respect every pass, every tackle, every minute of the game.
That's why people around the world keep talking about Japan. Not because they're trying to get attention, but because they keep earning it. In a tournament full of stars, they've managed to remind everyone that class doesn't always come from what you do with the ball it comes from how you carry yourself when the game is over.”

Proud to announce that Major Abhilasha Barak has been awarded the 2025 @UN Military Gender Advocate of the Year Award.
She is serving with the Indian Battalion as the Commander of the Female Engagement Team (FET) in #UNIFIL. Major Abhilasha is also first woman combat helicopter pilot of the Indian Army.
She is being recognized for her outreach and community engagement activities for women and adolescent girls and gender sensitization training for peacekeepers.
She is the third recipient of the award from 🇮🇳, after Major Suman Gawani (2019) and Major Radhika Sen (2024).
Even by the standards of a country ranking 157 of 180 nations in the World Press Freedom Index, the reaction of the authorities to the ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ is beyond extraordinary. The public response to that imaginative prank should have signalled to them a deep discontent, even distress, among young people. Instead, as The Indian Express reported, it was framed as jeopardising the country’s ‘national security’ and ‘posing a threat to the sovereignty of India.’ Decades ago, the Malaysian lawyer and poet Cecil Rajendra wrote this brilliant poem that captures the idiocy of it better than any pompous editorialising could (not that our ‘mainstream’ media would dare do even that much).
A video showing police officers laughing during a press conference on the Coimbatore child murder case has triggered backlash on social media. Users criticised the conduct by the officials as Tamil Nadu continues to react strongly to the brutal killing.

There are moments during the run where every part of me wants to stop.
The body gets tired. The mind gets louder. The road feels endless.
But I’ve realised something - growth happens exactly at the moment you feel like giving up, but choose to keep going anyway.
Not every day will feel powerful.
Not every step will feel easy.
But if you keep moving, even slowly, you are still closer to your dream than the person who stopped.
So keep going.
One more step. One more day. One more try.
Sometimes that’s all it takes.

Almost 5,000 people waited for hours in the rain at a swabbing event in Worcester, to get tested to see if they were a match to help save the life of a five-year-old boy fighting a rare cancer, after his parents asked for help
Life is meant to be lived...not for merely existing....hope you know the difference.
How many of us truly living?
Living is an active process. There is a sense of purpose, dreams, aspirations....living is joyful...there is a deeper meaning to life.
Existing on the other hand is surviving on a day to day basis. It's usually passive...the joy is missing. People can just exist even when they are super duper rich.
Money doesn't equate to living. One can have a life with a deeper purpose with less money too.
Ps: ofcourse, earn money, become financially stable. But do try and live....
