JAPAN BEING JAPAN 🇯🇵 World Cups change, generations pass, but Japanese fans still clean stadiums after matches. Respect, class, and tradition. 🇯🇵🧹🏟️

There’s a unique helplessness in sport when the mind wants to push forward, but the body has other plans. Felt for Jannik Sinner today because these moments can be deeply painful. Remember, the true measure of a champion is always in the comeback. But this is also why sport remains so unpredictable and special. Full credit to Juan Manuel Cerundolo for staying composed, believing till the very end, and making the most of his opportunity.

"What a time we have had together." 🩵

Whatever the causes behind the DMK’s defeat in Tamil Nadu, and whatever role the party’s first family may have played in creating public resentment, I still continue to regard M K Stalin as one of the few real statesmen left in Indian politics. In Indian politics, defeat usually produces denial, arrogance, silence or revenge. Rarely humility. That is why Stalin’s response after the election stood out so sharply. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, after the shocking electoral collapse of the Left in Kerala, has not even cared to release a simple two-line Facebook post consoling emotionally shattered cadres and followers. Thousands of ordinary CPM workers who defended the party for years were left directionless after the verdict. Silence became the political response. Mamata Banerjee, after suffering humiliation in Bengal in another phase of her political journey, publicly declared she would not resign. Across India, leaders often treat electoral defeat as temporary inconvenience or conspiracy. Very few acknowledge the emotional investment of ordinary workers. But Stalin chose another path altogether. The very next day after counting, despite losing even his own constituency Kolathur to an electoral novice from Vijay’s TVK, Stalin went back to the locality. No anger. No drama. No blame game. He walked among the people and thanked them for standing with him for decades. Videos from the locality showed emotionally overwhelmed party workers crying openly. Many held his hands. Some could not control their tears. Stalin attempted to console them instead. That moment mattered politically because it reflected something increasingly absent in Indian politics. Democratic culture. Today I saw The Times of India Chennai edition carrying his interaction where Stalin said he would not disturb Vijay for the next six months if the latter forms the government. He said he was not interested in creating instability in Tamil Nadu. He said people should not be dragged into another election. He expressed hope that the new government would continue welfare schemes while implementing TVK’s manifesto promises. Only after six months, he said, would the DMK begin constructive criticism as Opposition. That is not weakness. That is political maturity. To AIADMK leaders who mocked the DMK after the defeat, Stalin simply responded that the DMK would sit in the Opposition. Nothing hysterical. Nothing desperate. Just clarity. One must remember that the DMK is not an ordinary electoral machine. It is one of the most ideologically rooted Dravidian movements in modern India. The party survived dismissals, Emergency-era repression, corruption allegations, splits, the deaths of towering leaders, and repeated electoral destruction. After MGR’s rise many predicted the end of the DMK. After Jayalalithaa’s dominance many wrote its obituary again. Yet the party returned each time because its social foundations remained intact. Stalin himself spent years under the shadow of Karunanidhi. Critics mocked him as politically weak and lacking charisma. But over time he rebuilt the party structure patiently. He strengthened welfare politics. He sharpened the DMK’s secular positioning at a time when majoritarian nationalism was rising aggressively across India. He defended federalism. He consistently articulated Tamil identity without slipping into separatist rhetoric. During NEET protests, language debates, governor-state confrontations and questions of social justice, Stalin gave ideological direction to the Dravidian discourse. That political foundation has not disappeared because of one electoral defeat. What collapsed this time was electoral arithmetic. In a multiparty democracy, perception often defeats ideology. Celebrity appeal overtakes organisational depth. Anger accumulates silently against incumbents. Welfare fatigue sets in. Internal contradictions within ruling families create resentment. Every dominant party eventually faces this cycle.

அண்ணா செய்யுறானோ இல்லையோ ஆனா நீங்க அண்ணனை வைச்சு செஞ்சிட்டிங்கடா😂

Gracefully accepting electoral defeat is a hallmark of democratic maturity. He, a true leader has demonstrated true leadership through his sustained focus on education, environmental initiatives such as the Green Tamil Nadu Mission, and infrastructure development. His assertive approach on key federal issues - including NEET, delimitation, and relations with the Governor reflects a firm commitment to state interests. Several of his schemes have also been recognized and emulated at the national level. By respectfully acknowledging the people’s mandate and congratulating the winners, he upholds the highest democratic standards, reinforcing institutional integrity irrespective of electoral outcomes. Tamilnadu will miss you @mkstalin sir தமிழ்நாடு போராடும் தமிழ்நாடு வெல்லும்

How he lost despite giving Tamil Nadu 16% GDP growth, highest in the country should serve as a case study for other leaders

Hon’ble Prime Minister, this is Tamil Nadu’s final warning. மாண்புமிகு பிரதமர் அவர்களே, இது தமிழ்நாட்டின் இறுதி எச்சரிக்கை! #TNwillFightTNwillWin

உயரட்டும் கருப்புக்கொடி! தமிழ்நாடு போராடும்! தமிழ்நாடு வெல்லும்! இந்தியாவின் வளர்ச்சிக்காகப் பாடுபட்ட குற்றத்துக்காக தமிழ்நாடு உள்ளிட்ட தென்மாநிலங்களுக்குத் தண்டனையா? ஒன்றிய பா.ஜ.க. அரசு நாளை நாடாளுமன்றத்தில் கொண்டுவரவுள்ள #Delimitation சட்டத்திருத்தம் தமிழ்நாட்டுக்கும், தென்மாநிலங்களுக்கும் இழைக்கப்படும் “மாபெரும் வரலாற்று அநீதி”! விந்திய மலைக்குத் தெற்கே உள்ள தென்னிந்தியர் ஒவ்வொருவரும் கொதித்துப் போயிருக்கிறோம். நெருப்போடு விளையாடுகிறது பா.ஜ.க.! தொகுதி மறுவரையறைக்கு எதிராகத் தமிழ்நாடு முழுவதும் வீடுகளிலும், பொது இடங்களிலும் கருப்புக் கொடி ஏற்றும் போராட்டம் நாளை நடக்கும். தமிழ்நாட்டின் குரலை மதித்து ஒன்றிய அரசு பின்வாங்கவில்லை என்றால், அதற்கான விளைவுகளை நீங்கள் சந்திக்க வேண்டி இருக்கும். இதற்காக, மிகப் பெரிய விலையை நீங்கள் கொடுக்க வேண்டி இருக்கும்! தி.மு.க. தலைவராக, அனைத்துக்கும் மேல் சுயமரியாதையுள்ள தமிழனாக மீண்டும் எச்சரிக்கிறேன்! Let the black flags rise! #TNWillFightTNWillWin 🏴 Punishment for contributing to India’s progress? Is this how Tamil Nadu and the southern states are repaid? 🏴 The #Delimitation amendment the Union BJP government plans to bring in Parliament tomorrow is a massive historic injustice against Tamil Nadu and the southern states. 🏴 Every South Indian south of the Vindhyas is seething with anger. The BJP is playing with fire. 🏴 Across Tamil Nadu, black flags will rise from homes and public spaces tomorrow in protest against delimitation. 🏴 If the Union government refuses to respect Tamil Nadu’s voice and step back, you will face the consequences. The price you will pay will be heavy. 🏴 As President of the DMK, and above all as a self respecting Tamil, this is my stern warning.

Rohit Sharma has 31 Hundreds & 48 Fifties from just 190 Innings as an Opener in ODIs. 🤯 - One of the Greatest Ever.

Cricket gyaan: a life story. Justin Greaves of West Indies scores a duck in the first innings; just two days later, he scores 202 not out to almost take his team to a remarkable fourth innings win over New Zealand. Life lesson: live in the moment, yesterday’s zero can be today’s hero. Bas lage raho!🙏
