For Rishabh Pant, pain had become a way of life for more than 12 months. A constant, if uninvited companion. A grim reminder of what might have been, a reminder too of how lucky he was to have emerged from a life-threatening single-car accident with all his faculties intact.Pant’s horrific road accident of 30 December 2022 is too fresh in memory, too raw for everyone even remotely associated with him, to bear detailed repetition. Suffice to say that to be able to play competitive, professional cricket within 16 months of that terrible episode was tribute to his resilience, to his…

I don’t exactly remember when or how I became so interested in listening to guided meditation podcasts before bed. It’s been a couple of months now, and every night I tune in to a different meditation podcast with my earbuds on. It’s the last thing I do to help myself relax after a long day at work, especially in a profession like mine, where information overload can easily lead to anxiety.During this time, I realised just how important a quality pair of wireless earbuds can be, which made me appreciate Sony’s new WF-C710N even more. They are great for travel,…

But after a fabulous partnership between Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar all but eliminated an England win, captain Ben Stokes went to the Indian batters and offered the draw before the last hour’s play was to start. But with Jadeja and Washington batting on 89…

It was Christmas morning when I blinked awake to the mechanical beeping of a heart monitor. At first, I thought I was dreaming. My heart thumped loudly in my chest. I tried to roll over and orient myself, but my limbs were numb, and everything around me was a blur of pale light and quiet panic. The voices outside my hospital room faded in and out until one finally broke through the fog. A man rushed in—the one who changed everything. His face said it before his words did. “It’s lupus,” he said. I didn’t know what that meant. I…

For the past few years, governments across the world have paid close attention to conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. There, it is said, we see the first glimpses of what warfare of the future will look like, not just in terms of weaponry, but also in terms of new technologies and tactics. Most recently, the United States-Israeli attacks on Iran demonstrated not just new strategies of drone deployment and infiltration but also new vulnerabilities. During the 12-day conflict, Iran and vessels in the waters of the Gulf experienced repeated disruptions of GPS signal. This clearly worried the Iranian…

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services firm, is executing the first major layoff in the Indian IT sector, slashing 2 per cent of its global workforce — roughly 12,200 jobs. Framed as a push toward building a “future-ready generation” through “skilling and redeployment,” the move is, in effect, a sweeping cost-cutting exercise. The axe will fall hardest on mid- and senior-level employees, signalling a tough new chapter in the industry. TCS said it’s on a journey to become a future-ready organisation. “This includes strategic initiatives on multiple fronts including investing in new-tech areas, entering new markets, deploying AI…
