This investigation needs to be awarded!
Horn OK Please is written on the backs of trucks in India.
During World War 2, Britishers were sending India’s diesel to Europe. This caused a shortage naturally and India switched to Kerosene as fuel to run trucks.
Kerosene is volatile and trucks would blast in accidents and collisions.
So they started writing “HORN PLEASE ON KEROSENE”.
On Kerosine eventually became “OK” and got placed between Horn Please.
That’s how we got Horn OK Please.

12 days back Jaspal sent me this video from Munich, where, in a lighter mood he shared what my son was doing after his World Cup match. Thats the last vid he sent to me.
Jaspal got unwell while returning back from Munich.
Moments of life are too precious, and we realize it more when we lose dear ones. #JaspalRana

Congratulations to @IndranilKhan . Hope Bengal Sport will have a fresh start to bring back the lost glory.
There is huge untapped potential buried under apathy. Voices of current & former experienced athletes will be heard & working in an inclusive environment will be a dream come true. #westbengal #sportsdepartment

A solid comeback for Adriyan today at the A Selection Trials (4) in Dehradun. Munich World Cup, his debut Sr WC saw him lose 7 points in last 5 shots while only losing 8 points till 55th shot.
Meanwhile Indian Shooting Squad for Asian Games and 2 World Cups will most likely be announced tonight as the meeting is going on.

Sports should be fair to all athletes.
This is ridiculous. Part of the guarantees that all FIFA World Cup hosts have to sign is the free movement of all participating teams and officials through the hosting counties. I know this because it was part of the guarantees the Indian government had to sign before hosting the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2017.
This sounds like a last minute compromise where the US could not outright refuse Iran, but still needed to save face and make it as difficult as possible for them.
That is an unfair disadvantage for Iran and should be condemned by all football lovers.

The IOC has clarified comments made by president Kirsty Coventry on athlete compensation, following backlash over her remarks about not supporting direct payment for Olympians.
Coventry reiterated her position that she does not believe athletes should be paid for competing at the Olympic Games, instead pointing to existing support structures such as scholarships and development programmes.

Not every day does one witness something this rare 🦌
The sighting of an albino hog deer in @kaziranga_ stands as a symbol of the richness of our wildlife. It highlights our resolve to conserve and ensure that even the rarest species continue to thrive in the forests of Assam.

An excellent 635.7 from Himanshu Dhillon in Mens’s Air Rifle at Munich World Cup. He is shooting for ‘Ranking Points Only’. Parth Mane shot 633.6, and highly probable to make it to the Finals from 1st relay. Coming up 2nd relay will see Arjun Babuta & Rudrankksh shoot.
