More than a decade ago, my wife and I visited Switzerland for our honeymoon. On the way back after visiting a Cheese factory, we made a mistake and took the train that was heading in the opposite direction to our destination. The train was completely empty except one lady sitting in a corner. We were confused about what to do next. She didn't speak English but figured that we were in a spot of bother and immediately pressed a button that ensured that the train stops at the next station, which was a small station in the middle of the countryside of Switzerland. She gestured that we could walk our way back from there to the previous station. Our walk back was through a small hill in the countryside. Everyrhing was lush green with houses like these along the way. It began to drizzle while we were walking back and we had to wait near one of the houses for the passing shower. It was a 25-30 minute walk and we eventually returned to our original train station but I still remember almost everything throughout that walk like it was yesterday. It may sound a bit clichéd but Switzerland truly is like heaven on earth.

Schrödinger's deal

Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive? Why couldn’t a non-compliant commercial vessel have been stopped using other, non-lethal means? Is it not possible to disable a ship's propulsion or steering without firing missiles targeted to kill civilian crew members? Practically every merchant ship navigating these crucial waters has Indian crew on board. Are they all considered fair game for US missiles now? This approach is unacceptable and I hope @DrSJaishankar had said so to @marcorubio.

At the very least, Zee5 should add the key moments option to revisit goals and other important moments in the match which the viewer may have missed. Something as basic as that is also lacking on their streaming platform.

If you plan to have kids in your 30s, you should spend your 20s prioritizing two things: • Earn money • Strengthen your core This is a piece of gender neutral advice.

No other sporting event can ever match the atmosphere and vibe generated by the football world cup. Sadly, FIFA is well aware of this.

A photo where every family member is happy and yet it is the most heartbreaking photos ever because of what happened soon after. Life can be excruciatingly random and painfully unpredictable. It's been a year, we deserve answers. #AI171

There will be a few exceptions but on the whole, Indians are among the most law-abiding, non-violent, hardworking, helpful and economy-contributing immigrants across the globe.

Indian worker Vipin Kumar has been awarded honorary citizenship by the city of Craiova, Romania, after he jumped into an icy lake and saved the life of a 5-year-old girl. 🇮🇳🇷🇴 For nearly 30 minutes, he held the child above freezing water until rescuers arrived. This is the side of Indians the world rarely sees in headlines: courage, sacrifice, compassion and humanity. Yet stories like this seldom receive the attention that anti-India narratives do. No coverage from Western media outlets. As India's envoy noted, Vipin's actions embodied the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam "The World is One Family." ❤️

I had really low expectations from Zee but somehow they have managed to do even worse with that "Pura India Watchega" song. 🤦🏾‍♂️

The timings of the world cup matches are such that over the next 6 weeks you can either choose watching a lot football or getting a bit of decent sleep. Can't do both.

Lionel Scaloni's reaction is the best of them all.

I hope PM Modi understands that at this point, silence is cowardice.

At the very least, there has to be direct condemnation in strong words from the Prime Minister himself. Whatever be the circumstances, if you do not value the lives of your own people, no one else ever will.

Only a terrorist country would attack a civilian ship.

Imagine Donald Trump doing a trophy lift with the Iranian football team on 19th July.

If there was a world cup for the best team photographs, we'd have Norway vs Norway in the final.

You are blessed if your housing society is devoid of people whose primary source of income is through being an influencer/youtuber.

If this is indeed the end of Ben Stokes' England captaincy and/or career, at least he will gave gone doing things he loves most - nightclubs, alcohol and brawls.

Ben Stokes has had more pints than scored runs over the past few years.

Not allowing fans. Not allowing referees. Creating hurdles before allowing players. USA are already one of the worst world cup hosts ever and the tournament hasn't even kicked off yet.
