I pick up my phone to check the time, but put it down say 22 minutes later. I had laughed twice, maybe, learnt nothing (usually), and still did not know what the time is.If you are reading this and smiling, then you have done it too.We keep saying the kids these days can't focus. Have you looked at us? The kids at least are honest about it. We adults have a list of genuine excuses to justify it, o...
We know how the story ends.That is perhaps the biggest problem with reading about someone like Lionel Messi.We already know the boy from Rosario becomes one of the greatest footballers the world has ever seen. We know about Barcelona. We know the goals, the trophies, the records. We know the heartbreak with Argentina. We know the World Cup finally arrives. We know Paris, and then Miami. We know th...
First off, I’m deeply grateful to my parents and good fortune for being born healthy, there is zero credit to me for that. I see it as my duty to remind myself—and the people I care about—to stay fit and happy. I say “I take zero credit for being born healthy, but I’m 100% responsible if I die unfit”I’m not a certified trainer or dietitian yet, but after 30 years of lifting dumbbells, jumping rope...

We remember the trophy, the missed penalty, the winning goal, but the conversations that never happened, the sacrifices made quietly at home, and the fears carried long after the stadium empties never find their way onto the scoreboard.

Money. It can buy you a race car and a spot at one of the most prestigious races. But you don’t got talent biatch.
I now get the reverence that this marque commands. These shapes, their sounds and their results are very seductive.
There is something revealing about the way adults protect certain rituals. Not because those rituals are important to the world, but because they quietly become important to who they are.Every Sunday morning across Indian cities, cricket grounds fill with people who have already lost the practical argument. They are no longer chasing selection, contracts, or recognition. Many have demanding career...
There’s a moment just before a race begins — those few seconds when everything goes quiet, even inside your own head. I found myself thinking about that silence more than the speed while reading Lights Out, Minds On by Priyanka Awasthi. Not the roar. Not the glamour. Just that fragile, almost invisible space where everything can either come together… or fall apart.That’s where this book lives.At f...
