#ManuBhaker, 22, wins India's first medal at #ParisOlympics2024. First Indian woman to win a shooting medal at the #Olympics. Reads the Bhagavadgita. Thought of it in her final medal round. "Do what you have to do. Let the rest be," is her motto. Just wow!

#LakshyaSen you beauty. What a joy it's to see an Indian shuttler (or any athlete for that matter) fight like he did and win from behind. Kill the opponent so cleanly, quietly, clinically. A match for the story books. #OnwardsMedalwards... #Paris2024 #Badminton

Only way India could have crushed a marauding Great Britain today was with the 'God at the Goal' #Sreejesh ... "I got 2 more matches now" he says. Phew! #IndvsGB #Paris2024 #Hockey

Whoever came up with "Snatching Defeat from the jaws of victory" had the #LakshyaSen semi-finals in #Paris2024 in mind ... heartbreaking 💔 #Badminton

Not just the latest gruesome crime but all the violence and conflict in Bengal in recent years resembles what Bihar and UP, among others, were infamous for many years ago. With due apologies to Gokhaleji, is it time to ask: What Bengal does today, India did yesterday?

This is such devastating news. Remya was a wonderful journalist, great colleague and an editor's dream... can still remember her walking excitedly to my cabin every time she had a special story... and it was often. What a loss!
