It requires an immense Zen state calmness and intense passion for the game to do what Arjun Tendulkar has showcased in his cricketing career.

Not getting Gametime for so long while in the midst of the baggage that comes with the surname is a ode in itself.

[Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt]

Well done, Arjun. ❤️
Proud of the way you’ve carried yourself through this season, always believing in your ability, staying patient, working hard quietly, and remaining positive despite having to wait for your opportunity till the very last match.
Cricket tests patience as much as skill, and you handled both beautifully today.

Keep your feet on the ground, and continue being in love with the game like you always have.

Love you always.👏

Have rarely seen such detailed eloquent appreciation for behind-the-scene stars as has been done by @AdityaDharFilms in his last few posts.
Kudos for this amazing gesture and wonderful sharing of thoughts of these individuals, which is so pertinent for corporate leaders too.

[Aditya Dhar @AdityaDharFilms]

Here’s to Mukesh Chhabra, the man who saw Dhurandhar long before I truly did.

There are people who come into a film and do their job and then there are people who quietly reshape the film itself. Mukesh was the latter.
From the very first narration, he believed in the scale, the ambition, the sheer possibility of Dhurandhar far more than I did.
Where I was cautious, he was fearless. Where I was thinking within limits, he pushed me to think bigger, not just in numbers, but in depth, in detail, in truth.
The casting of this film was never going to be easy. The sheer number of actors, the range of characters, the responsibility of getting every single face right, it was overwhelming.
But Mukesh and his team just went all guns blazing. My only brief to him was simple: bring me great actors, new or old, big or small, it doesn’t matter.
And he turned that into a mission.
What followed were endless days and nights, sitting together, breaking down every character, debating, exploring, rejecting, discovering. Conversations that didn’t feel like work but like building something brick by brick with absolute honesty.
For him, casting was never about filling roles, it was about finding people who belonged. Even for the smallest part, he went just as deep, just as far, making sure every person on screen felt real, lived-in, and true to the world.
But beyond the craft, what I found in him was something even more rare, a friend, a well-wisher, a brother. Someone who stood by the film with complete faith, even when mine wavered.
I truly hope this film makes people realise the power of casting, one of the most crucial, yet often overlooked aspects of filmmaking.
It can make a film or break it.
And it’s unfortunate that our industry still doesn’t celebrate casting directors the way it should.
This film carries your choices in every single frame Mukesh!
Endless gratitude, respect and love for you.❤️

@tecka21 Yes! NASA will have livestreams throughout the Artemis II mission, including coverage from the Orion spacecraft cameras, and other video updates. Be sure to tune in: https://t.co/ouKmpB4fIu

[NASA @NASA]

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt

[NASA @NASA]

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

The Bengaluru Roadies #31: 100 feet Road, Indiranagar

Ok, so one of best known roads in BLR is not what it is named. The iconic, and now much despoiled, 100 feet Road in Indiranagar is actually Dr. S.K. Karim Khan road, named after Pashtun-heritage Kannada poet and freedom fighter!!

Dr. Karim Khan, a devout Muslim, penned legendary Kannada Hindu devotional songs like 'Natavara Gangadhara' which are still blasted at Ganesh pandals across Karnataka today! Despite his monumental cultural contributions, this literary giant lived out his final days practically homeless.

Imagine a man of Afghan-Arab descent, an 8th-grade dropout, who masters Sanskrit and becomes a towering figure in Kannada literature. That was Dr. S.K. Karim Khan, a Gandhian freedom fighter who went to British jails but famously refused a government pension. In 2014, the city officially renamed this glitzy avenue in his honour. Yet, in typical Bengaluru fashion, locals stubbornly continue to call it '100 Feet Road,' blissfully unaware of the poetic genius their favourite pub-hopping street is named after.

In 2024, it was actually Asia-Pacific's fastest-growing retail high street. A mixed blessing, frankly, given how this beautiful bungalow-dotted leafy road has been steam rolled by high street brands. It is now a chaotic but intoxicating collision of old-money Bengaluru and new-age tech wealth. The air smells of artisanal espresso and expensive perfume, while the hum of luxury cars and buzzing pub queues pulses beneath a canopy of rain trees that miraculously survived the commercial explosion.

By the way, the picture is of this same road in 1983, not too far back…

(I have recently relocated to the city of gardens and traffic, and what intrigues me most are the road names, each of which have a fascinating history. This series of posts will unravel the historical origin of the roads and localities in BLR.)

By the way, on popular demand, I have started archiving all my Bangalore Roadies posts at https://t.co/rdoXF1aBsU, in case you missed a few.

Also grateful to @bahudari , who intrigued me enought to explore this road through his post here: https://t.co/ok4rbzudE7

#DidYouKnow An Indian woman scientist once worked with Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb?

Meet T.K. Radha, 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 in the field of science and technology.

Born in Kerala under the British Raj, she was the fourth of five children and a brilliant student from the start. In the 1940s and 50s, when 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹, Radha went on to study physics at Presidency College, Madras (present-day Chennai).

She earned a gold medal and joined Alladi Ramakrishnan’s (son of Sir Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer, member of the Drafting Committee of the Indian Constitution) pioneering program in theoretical physics at the University of Madras.

There were 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 there, yet Radha published fourteen papers on particle physics and quantum theory.

Then came the 𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. In 1965, Robert Oppenheimer sent her an invitation to join the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.

“𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱,” she recalled. “When I met Oppenheimer, I was struck by his knowledge of the 𝗕𝗵𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗱 𝗚𝗶𝘁𝗮.”

After marrying and moving to Canada, Radha still refused to stop learning. Even while raising children, she topped computing courses at the University of Alberta. She is married to V. Balakrishnan who is an Indian theoretical physicist. They have two children, Hari Balakrishnan and Hamsa Balakrishnan, who are both faculty members at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. #WomenInTech
