The Padma awards were once reserved for the elites, power brokers, and lobbyists.

The Modi govt has truly democratised these awards & recognised social workers and unsung heroes deeply connected to the grassroots.

What has changed since 2014? This is one of the many examples.

Curaçao, with a population of just 158,000, managed to score against Germany at the FIFA World Cup tonight.

There’s a lot to dislike about the way the tournament is organised this year in America but you got to love moments like this.

Football is the ultimate global sport.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

❤️‍🔥🇨🇼 156.000 population, smallest country ever to reach the World Cup… and Curaçao scored in a magic, historical moment for them.

🚨 Iran says it will refrain from carrying out its retaliation for today's Israeli strikes in Beirut because of "last-minute concessions offered by Trump, including the preservation of Lebanon's territorial integrity, Israel's withdrawal from the Lebanese border, and the immediate lifting of the siege."

@musiclover3219 @TheIndiaStory12 The break destroyed their momentum.

@musiclover3219 @MMRDAOfficial So much more needs to be done.

The success of any movement depends on people who choose to participate. BKC choosing public transport every Friday is the beginning of a larger change.

[MMRDA @MMRDAOfficial]

Today, BKC makes the switch.

Thousands travel to BKC every day to power businesses, create opportunities and keep Mumbai moving.

This #PublicTransportDay, we're choosing to move differently by taking the train, Metro, bus, walking and making more sustainable travel choices.

Because every journey counts when #BKCMovesTogether

@musiclover3219 Iconic.

[Suraj Balakrishnan @SurajBala]

The FIFA World Cups are wonderful for associative memory. They come every four years and give you a natural checkpoint to reflect on life — how far you’ve come, and how much you still want to achieve.

My first World Cup memory was watching France lift the trophy at home in 1998. That was followed by Man United winning the Treble the very next season.

Great memories. ⚽️

[Suraj Balakrishnan @SurajBala]

@kumarakshay1 Will tell you in person.

[Suraj Balakrishnan @SurajBala]

@ArunKrishnan_ Zverev held his nerve well in the 5th set; a well deserved victory.

[Suraj Balakrishnan @SurajBala]

@kumarakshay1 Agreed.

[Suraj Balakrishnan @SurajBala]

Zverev vs Cobolli is turning out to be a match for the ages.

A French Open final without Sinner, Carlitos, or Djokovic in 2026!

@TheIndiaStory12 Precisely.

Chief Justice Surya Kant called them cockroaches.

They're proving him right…every single day.

Yesterday he was Python Developer. Today he is in US State Department 🤣

[Suraj Balakrishnan @SurajBala]

@musiclover3219 Zverev held his nerve well in the end.

[Suraj Balakrishnan @SurajBala]

The victory of Zverev over Cobolli in the French Open final means this is the first time ever that players of Russian heritage have won the same Grand Slam title on both the men’s and women’s sides.

#RolandGarros

[Suraj Balakrishnan @SurajBala]

@TheIndiaStory12 His parents are Russian.

[Suraj Balakrishnan @SurajBala]

@musiclover3219 Will be a fascinating final set

[Suraj Balakrishnan @SurajBala]

@BasweshwarSH Very fishy.

[Suraj Balakrishnan @SurajBala]

Rajesh Exports reported 99% fake revenues, totalling more than ₹15 lakh crore, from 2021 to 2025. That’s more than $178 billion.

LIC owns 10.8% of Rajesh Exports. No mutual fund manager ever advised buying this stock.

How could LIC have missed such a huge fraud in a company in which it holds a substantial stake?
