Why Alireza Firouzja is playing elite chess event lying on his hotel room bed | Chess News

4 min readMay 19, 2026 12:10 AM IST It felt like a return to the work-from-home era during the coronavirus pandemic. When French grandmaster Alireza Firouzja rolled over his ankle after his third round game at the Super Chess Classic 2026 tournament in Bucharest, organisers of the Grand Chess Tour knew they would have to get creative if they wanted to ensure his continued participation in the remaining rounds of the classical tournament in the Romanian capital. So, they came up with a never-before-heard solution: Alireza was asked to play from a bed in a hotel room with his opponent sitting across a physical board and an arbiter designated in the room to keep a mindful eye on them. The organisers were unable to set up cameras in the room on time, which meant that only the board’s live transmission was available but visuals of Alireza facing Javokhir Sindarov in the room were not seen. Despite being in crippling pain, Alireza managed to hold the Uzbekistan grandmaster to a draw on a day when all …

Prakash Raj tells Pawan Kalyan to ‘stop lying’ about Opposition blocking Women’s Reservation Bill: ‘Just to please Modi’

The Constitution Amendment Bill to tweak Women’s Reservation Bill was defeated in Lok Sabha after the government failed to get a special majority in the Parliament on Friday evening. While 298 members voted in favour of the government backing the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 230 members from the opposition voted against the proposed law. Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan reacted to the same on his X account, but his comments did not sit well with actor Prakash Raj. Prakash Raj has slammed Pawan Kalyan for saying that the Opposition has blocking the women’s reservation bill. What Pawan Kalyan said Pawan said, “A historic opportunity to strengthen women’s representation in India’s legislatures has been deliberately blocked by the opposition. The opposition’s stance makes it clear that they lack the intent to support transformative reforms that strengthen Bharat’s democracy and empower women. By refusing to back the Women’s Reservation Bill, they have once again placed political calculations above national progress, delaying a long-overdue step toward inclusive governance and gender justice.” “Supporting this landmark …

‘Who is lying, Penguin or the General?’: Rahul Gandhi points to Naravane’s post on ‘missing’ memoir | Delhi News

3 min readNew DelhiFeb 10, 2026 05:11 PM IST Amid the controversy over former Indian Army chief General M M Naravane’s memoir, Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, on Tuesday afternoon, refused to back down, saying he believes the officer should decide whether the book has been published. Asked about the questions over the publication of Four Stars of Destiny, Gandhi said: “Here is a tweet (post on X) from Mr Naravane ji. It’s a tweet that says – ‘Hello friends. My book is available now. Just follow the link. Happy reading. Jai Hind!’ This is a tweet that Mr Naravane has made. You can look into the tweet.” “So, the point I am making is either Mr Naravane is lying… and I believe the Army Chief, okay? I don’t think he will lie… or Penguin is lying. Somebody needs to clarify… both cannot be telling the truth,” he added. Since last Tuesday, the government has repeatedly asserted that General Naravane’s memoir is unpublished and cannot be quoted in the House. Gandhi has on …

Rishi Kapoor caught Karan Johar lying as he travelled to attend Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra’s secret Italy wedding: ‘Still petrified of him’ | Bollywood News

Directors Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra have had a long working relationship. They have another thing in common, which is actor Rani Mukerji. While Johar has only worked with Rani, Aditya has been married to her for 12 years. In a recent conversation held at the coveted Yash Raj Studios, Rani and Karan discussed her career, their relationship and the invisible man of Bollywood, Rani’s husband, Aditya Chopra. After talking about her upcoming release, Mardaani 3, Karan wanted to talk about Rani ‘the human’, not Rani ‘the actor’. He started that by talking about Aditya and said, “Now you are married to a myth, and even conjecture about him doesn’t exist. Fortunately, we do know that he does exist. We have had the pleasure of spending time together. I am petrified of him because he carries this paranoia of no image going out. He used to tell me, ‘I am not coming to your house because the press will be there,’ and I used to keep telling him that there is no press.” ALSO READ: …

Spice of life | Truth about lying: Call the bluff, and let it go

Spice of life | Truth about lying: Call the bluff, and let it go

While watching the Korean drama, My Lovely Liar, in which the heroine possesses the rare gift of detecting lies, I found myself wondering: Could human beings truly be blessed with such an ability? And if we were, would we actually want it? In the theatre of daily life, lies generally fall into two categories: Saving one’s skin or saving a relationship. (Getty Images/iStockphoto) We recognise exaggerations every day, yet we choose to accept them. When an advertisement promises instant noodles in two minutes or a cream that transforms skin in 15 days, we know it’s improbable—but we want to believe. We crave quick solutions and effortless transformations. Similarly, when a woman says she’ll be ready in five minutes or a man insists he’ll fix that bathroom light today, we smile knowingly. It isn’t naivety; it’s a mutual understanding that hopeful words help us navigate the friction of daily life. Even on a grander scale, we encounter the grand embellishment. Whether it’s a politician vowing to end corruption or a contractor promising a road as smooth …
