Possibly one of the bravest performances from an Indian Hockey team. Playing with 10 men vs a very strong GB for 47 minutes in an Olympic QF & hanging on….almost impossible in modern hockey vs a top team.
Will need this same grit & resilience at the FIH Hockey World Cup soon
An iconic save for the history books 🧤

Heroic KSRTC Driver Acts Swiftly to Get Heart Attack Patient to Hospital
A passenger traveling on a KSRTC bus from Tumakuru to Madhugiri suffered a sudden heart attack during the journey, creating an emergency situation on board. Recognizing the seriousness of the passenger's condition, the KSRTC bus driver acted swiftly and responsibly. Instead of continuing along the scheduled route, the driver immediately diverted the bus to Sachi Multi Specialty Hospital, located on the Tumakuru–Madhugiri road.Upon reaching the hospital, the driver stopped the bus directly at the hospital entrance, allowing the passenger to receive immediate medical attention without any delay. With the assistance of others, the passenger was safely taken inside the hospital and admitted for emergency treatment. The driver's prompt decision, presence of mind, and commitment to the passenger's safety played a crucial role in ensuring that timely medical care was provided during this life-threatening situation.This incident stands as a remarkable example of compassion, professionalism, and quick thinking by the KSRTC driver, whose actions demonstrated that the safety and well-being of passengers are always a top priority.

Who are we ? NRI ...the American dream left India for good then discovered a non biological living God in 2014 rest is as follows..👇check the last sentence..😜✌️🤣
Just spoke to someone who is taking his insurer to court over unending price hikes in health insurance,
He bought 50 L floater health insurance for parents for Rs. 60K in 2011.
In 2026, the premium shot up to an absurd 5 Lakhs (Father: 71, Mother: 70)
That jump came through back to back hikes of 54% and 12% (net of zero GST) in two consecutive years.
He can still afford it. That's not the point.
He wants the court to answer HOW FAR THESE HIKES CAN GO?
Told him he is doing public service for lakhs of senior citizens in India affected by this.
Hope this leads to something meaningful!
Everyone is talking about the 39 medals.
But the real story of these Games is much better than just the medals. Let me explain.
First, these Commonwealth Games was much smaller than the last one. Only 10 sports. Last time there were 19.
And look at which sports were removed.
Wrestling. Badminton. Shooting. Table tennis. Hockey. Cricket.
These are the sports India wins in every single time. Out of our 61 medals last time, 30 came from these sports.
So think about it like this.
In the sports that were played both times, we won 31 medals last time. This time we won 39 in those same sports.
We got better in every sport we played. The total looks smaller only because so many of our sports were not there at all.
Now, first let's talk about the good stuff.
Our boxers were unbelievable. 10 medals. 7 golds.
No country in the history of the Commonwealth Games had ever won 7 boxing golds at one Games.
India just did.
And 5 of those 7 champions are women.
Preeti Pawar. Jaismine Lamboria. Sakshi Chaudhary. Priya Ghanghas. Arundhati Choudhary. Plus Sachin Siwach and Ankush Panghal.
Actually, out of India's 13 golds, 8 were won by women. Our daughters won so much at these Games for us.
Mirabai Chanu won gold again. Third Commonwealth Games in a row. Only one Indian had ever done that before her.
She had a serious back injury. She won anyway. :)
Gulveer Singh is a soldier who grew up running on village roads in Aligarh. He became the first Indian ever to win a medal in the men's 10,000m race. Then he won one more in the 5000m.
In long distance running. Where India never wins.
Our para athletes won 7 medals. That equals everything they had won in all the previous Games put together. Their best performance ever.
Dilip Gavit, who lost his arm as a child, set a Games record in his 100m race.
Even judo gave us 2 golds. Asmita Dey and Harsh Singh.
Be honest, did you even know we had judo players this good?
Now the sad parts. There were a few, unfortunately.
Neeraj Chopra got a silver only. A thrower from Sri Lanka threw 89.75m and won it.
Neeraj is coming back from an injury and said himself that he is not at full strength yet. The good news was Yash Vir Singh winning bronze right behind him.
Our weightlifters won 8 medals. But 6 of them were silver. Six times we were just one good lift away from gold. Six times it did not come. That one hurts.
And in athletics, our runners and jumpers won 10 medals but no gold. Everyone finished second or third. Nobody finished first.
Now, for years people have said the same thing about India. That we only win medals because of shooting and wrestling. Remove those, and we are nothing.
Well. This time someone actually removed them. All of them. Every sport we depend on was taken out.
And we still finished 4th in the world.
The sports that were supposed to be our weak ones carried us. Boxing. Judo. Para athletics. Long distance running.
People said we win only because of easy sports. The easy sports were removed. We won anyway. :)
You know that a man has fragile ego when he stays silent on Assam, Manipur, and Jantar Mantar, but loses his cool after a 15-year-old girl swears at him. 🙄
