‘Selfish’ Mo Salah must be dropped from Liverpool farewell game: Wayne Rooney

Published by Webster

4 min readMay 18, 2026 01:13 PM IST Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney slammed Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah for his “selfish” comments on Liverpool’s style of play in the 2025-26 Premier League season ahead of his proposed farewell match for the Reds on Sunday. Salah, who had announced his departure from the club after nine years in May, took to social media earlier this week and urged Liverpool for a return to high-octane football. “I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that. Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. “I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and …

Ek Din Music Review: Neither Arijit Singh Did Not Deserve This Farewell! (Photo Credit –YouTube) Do you remember the time when Aamir Khan decided to strike a social chord with the audience with his talk show Satyameva Jayate? I do not know about everyone else, but for me, one of the exciting parts of that show was the theme song at the end of each episode, beautifully written by various lyricists and composed beautifully by Ram Sampath! So obviously, I was looking forward to the music of Ek Din, composed by him. Starring Junaid Khan and marking Sai Pallavi’s debut in Hindi Cinema, the film is produced by Aamir Khan Productions. Ram Sampath is a gifted music composer. I fell in love with him when I first heard him singing Dheere Dheere Haule Haule, a liberating song on sexual abuse, that was featured in one of the episodes of Satyameva Jayate. Meanwhile, the songs of Ek Din are written by Irshad Kamil, and he does not need an introduction. Right from the moment I first heard …

Beyond ANR’s farewell: Why Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s dual role remains the emotional soul of Manam | Telugu News

Beyond ANR’s farewell: Why Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s dual role remains the emotional soul of Manam | Telugu News

Published by Parlour News

5 min readHyderabadApr 28, 2026 08:05 AM IST On paper, Manam was not Samantha Ruth Prabhu‘s film. It belonged to the Akkinenis: ANR in his final screen appearance, Nagarjuna producing and Naga Chaitanya in the lead role. The film was always going to be viewed through the lens of legacy and loss. But Samantha, cast in a dual role as Krishna Veni and Priya, did something that dual roles rarely allow for. She made both women feel like separate people rather than two faces of the same performance. The weight around Manam To understand what Samantha Ruth Prabhu was working within, you have to understand what Manam was carrying before a single ticket was sold. Akkineni Nageswara Rao passed away on January 22, 2014 while the film was still in production. Manam became his last screen appearance, and Nagarjuna promoted it as a tribute and a befitting farewell for his father. The trailer ended with the words “ANR Lives On.” By the time it hit theatres, audiences were watching a movie that felt like a …

Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal fire RCB to five-wicket win over GT in Chinnaswamy farewell | Cricket News

Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal fire RCB to five-wicket win over GT in Chinnaswamy farewell | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Synopsis: Kohli-Padikkal duet blasts out Sudharsan’s symphony as RCB beat GT by five wickets. Overhauling two hundred plus totals has lost its novelty in the league. But seldom has it looked so frictionless, as when Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal produced fireworks that backboned Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s predatory hunting down of Gujarat Titans’ 205 by five wickets and seven balls to spare, laying to waste Sai Sudharsan’s gorgeous hundred. The defending champions are putting on a strong title defence bid. Midway through their match-winning, thrill-a-ball stand, Virat Kohli took the backseat and decided to be the backing vocals. He gestured at his younger partner, Padikkal, to continue strumming the head-banging notes. Padikkal batted like a possessed drummer. Transfixed, the crowd were jiving and heaving to the soulful tunes composed in the middle. Padikkal was in a vengeful mood, as though he nursed a grudge against the Titans’ bowlers, all proven performers in sinister rhythm. The most stupendous stroke of his was a flat, lofted off-drive beyond the fence off an erratic Prasidh Krishna. Among the …

Farewell Asha Bhosle: Songstress who emerged from the shadow of ‘Lata’s little sister’ to becoming melody queen

Farewell Asha Bhosle: Songstress who emerged from the shadow of ‘Lata’s little sister’ to becoming melody queen

Published by Parlour News

The death of Asha Bhosle, one of the most celebrated singers of Indian music, marks the end of an era. Asha was the last of the original great singers of Bollywood, voices that shaped the industry and the nation’s tastes. Together with her sister Lata Mangeshkar and fellow legends Mukesh, Mohammed Rafi, and Kishore Kumar, she dominated the Hindi music scene for over half a century. And now, as the junior-most member of the elite club, she is the last to depart, truly calling curtains on an era that will never return. Asha Bhosle was the most recorded artist in the world according to Guiness Book of World Records. (Photo by SUJIT JAISWAL / AFP) (AFP) The little sister who grew up Asha began her singing career at the age of 9 in 1943. By then, Lata, her older sister, was already establishing herself in the industry. By the end of the decade, Lata was the first choice of most composers. And through the 50s, Asha had to contend with being called Lata’s sister. Even …

Canadian man who helped fix Bengaluru’s footpaths with viral videos moves to Mizoram: ‘Farewell, Bengaluru’

Published by Parlour News

Caleb Friesen, the Canadian vlogger whose viral videos prompted Bengaluru authorities to fix some of the city’s crumbling footpaths, is moving to Mizoram. His viral “before and after” videos became a catalyst for urban reform in several neighbourhoods, earning him a reputation as a local hero. Friesen is now trading India’s Silicon Valley for the community-driven culture of Aizawl, citing a desire for his children to “grow up in a place that is equitable”. The Canadian man who relocated to Mizoram from Bengaluru. (Instagram/@caleb_friesen) “Farewell, Bengaluru. After 6.5 years I’m finally saying goodbye to one of my favourite cities in India. Why? Well, having kids changed my perspective on life a bit. I want them to grow up in a place that is equitable. Where people respect each other and are patient with one another. I do feel that you can find many pockets of this behaviour in Bengaluru, but it’s not as ubiquitous in Bengaluru as it is in Aizawl,” Friesen wrote in an Instagram post.

On a farewell note: Ahead of RS move, CM Nitish Kumar completes Bihar yatra with highlights from past, nod to future | India News

Published by Parlour News

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has often spoken of three structures as defining his tenure: the Sardar Patel Bhavan (Bihar Police headquarters), the Bihar Museum, and the Samrat Ashok Convention Centre. When the time came to select the venue for what may be his final public address as Chief Minister, advisers suggested Masaurhi. However, the CM chose to conclude his Samriddhi Yatra at Gyan Bhavan and Bapu Sabhagar — integral parts of the Samrat Ashok Convention Centre. As the day coincided with the birth anniversary of Emperor Ashoka, the final leg of the yatra began with a formal tribute to the ancient ruler. This was followed by a review meeting with bureaucrats, a signature feature of the tour that commenced on January 16 and concluded this Thursday after traversing all 38 districts of Bihar. The main event was held at the cavernous Bapu Sabhagar auditorium. The gathering saw a concentration of political heavyweights, including BJP national president Nitin Nabin, Deputy CMs Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Sinha, former Union minister and Patna Sahib MP Ravi Shankar …

Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal bids farewell | Chandigarh News

Published by Parlour News

Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal retires from the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday, closing a chapter marked by firm independence and a strong sense of fairness. Appointed as an Additional Judge on September 25, 2014, after a distinguished legal career, he leaves behind a body of work that repeatedly placed the vulnerable at the centre of the law while holding state institutions to account. Through both his judgments and suo motu interventions, he shaped debates on police accountability, social justice and administrative fairness. His bench frequently examined the limits of executive power. In Gurdeep Singh Gill vs State of Punjab last year, the court stayed the controversial land pooling policy, observing that it appeared to bypass safeguards meant to protect landowners and communities. “The State proposes to take over tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the entire State of Punjab …without carrying out any Social Impact Assessment or Environmental Impact Assessment study,” he had remarked. Punjab withdrew the policy. In Tulsi Ram Mishra vs V.K. Janjua, the court set aside criminal …
