New Delhi: People stroll as a layer of dense fog shrouds the city on a cold winter morning (Photo: PTI) Delhi shivered through one of its coldest mornings of the season on Friday as the minimum temperature in the national capital dipped to 4.6 degrees Celsius, intensifying the ongoing cold wave, according to data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The sharp drop in temperatures was accompanied by intermittent rainfall and cold northwesterly winds, which together deepened the chill across Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). Weather data from the Safdarjung observatory showed that the minimum temperature settled at 4.6 degrees Celsius, significantly below the seasonal average, underlining the severity of the cold spell. The IMD said that light rainfall was recorded in several areas, including Safdarjung, Lodi Road, ITO, India Gate, Nehru Stadium, RK Puram, Defence Colony, Lajpat …

Hockey India League: HIL GC start off with a dramatic 3-2 win as Kane Russell scores the season’s first hat-trick | Hockey News

As he was fouled just outside the attacking circle at the end of one of his signature driving dribbles, Hardik Singh turned around and let out a roar that echoed around the largely empty Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium. When India junior team midfielder Ankit Pal suffered a rush of blood to commit a silly error, the HIL GC captain knew he had earned his side a last-minute shot at clinching three points as the match was level at 2-2 at this stage. After the first Penalty Corner routine broke down, Kane Russell stepped up for the retake and nailed yet another drag flick, low and powerful, to sound the backboard with a thud. HIL GC managed to snatch a late winner while SG Pipers were left to rue the mistakes that eventually cost them. Pipers, who finished last in the previous edition, continue to search for their first outright win in the tournament. Ky Willott (31′) and Dilraj Singh (56′) scored for the Pipers, while Russell’s earlier strikes came in the 35th and 37th minute in …

The top Indian shuttlers will begin their year with a tough challenge at the first Super1000 tournament of the year, the Malaysia Open in Kuala Lumpur from January 6 to 11. India will have 12 entries in the first round of the tournament, including Lakshya Sen, PV Sindhu and the men’s doubles pair of Satwik Sairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty. The world no.3 Satwik-Chirag are the only seeded Indians at the tournament. They will start their tournament against the tricky Chinese Taipei pair of Lee Jhe-Huei and Yang Po-hsuan. The Indian pair will be aiming to return to winning ways in Malaysia after ending their last season without a title for the first time in four years. Meanwhile, the young women’s doubles pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand, who made their comeback from injury late last year, will aim to give 2026 a stronger start. In the opening round, they will face the same Indonesian duo of Febriana Kusuma and Meilysa Puspitasari, against whom they suffered a defeat at the Australian Open in November …

Kalinga Lancers, last season’s entertainers, begin with encouraging 4-2 win against Ranchi Royals

Kalinga Lancers, last season’s entertainers, begin with encouraging 4-2 win against Ranchi Royals

Published by Webster

It took Ranchi Royals forward Araijeet Singh Hundal just 40 seconds to find space inside the circle among a crowd of defenders and win a Penalty Corner for Ranchi Royals from which FIH World Player of the Year 2025 Tom Boon fired a bullet past Krishan Pathak in goal. Then in the ninth minute, Mandeep Singh converted with a cheeky touch from close range after a flowing pass move, with Pathak’s positioning questionable once more as Kalinga Lancers trailed 1-2. It must have brought back memories of last season when the franchise scored freely, but conceded with equal regularity to eventually miss out on top four, despite arguably having one of the best squads on paper. But what followed in the remaining three quarters augurs well for Lancers as they displayed most of their good attacking traits while marrying that with solid defensive structure. Three goals flowed in the second quarter as they went from 1-2 to 4-2. They then kept that score intact with a mature display in the second half where they were …

Year ender 2025 | Paatal Lok, The Family Man, and the triumph of returning seasons: How Indian OTT got franchise right

Published by Parlour News

OTT’s beginnings in India were heralded by YouTube, led by independent creative platforms that created what we today would call microdramas. These shows, largely single-season outings, laid the foundation for the OTT boom in India. Think Pitchers or Tripling or even Permanent Roommates. Then Netflix and Amazon Prime Video arrived in India, and it all exploded. But even as shows began returning with seasons 2, 3, and 4, there were often complaints that quality was diminishing each time. Paatal Lok season 2 saw Jaideep Ahlawat returns as Inspector Hathiram Chaudhary in what was widely called a stellar second season. There was the infamous Sacred Games season 2, for instance, which many felt was a sharp enough dip to end arguably the best web series in India. The sustenance of quality in shows like Made in Heaven, Delhi Crime, Gullak, or The Family Man occurred much later. And it was almost always seen as an aberration. But 2025 came as a breath of fresh air here. It provided viewers with multiple returning shows, almost all of …

While the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) has faced its share of issues over the years, matters escalated to another level this time when the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting denied censor exemption to as many as 19 films slated for screening. Although the Centre later approved 13 of them, the screenings of six films were ultimately cancelled. The physical absence of Resul Pookutty, chairperson of the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy (KSCA), which hosts the festival on behalf of the Kerala government’s Department of Cultural Affairs, during the initial days also became a hot topic throughout the week. After facing such uproars, the 30th IFFK concluded in Thiruvananthapuram on a grand note on Friday, December 19. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who was absent during the opening event on December 12, inaugurated the closing ceremony at the Nishagandhi Auditorium in the capital city. State Cultural Affairs Minister Saji Cheriyan presided over the event, which was attended by Resul Pookutty as well. Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister tore into the central government for …

After streak of 1,297 NBA games spanning 18 seasons, LeBron James scores in single digits, but gives game-winning assist

After streak of 1,297 NBA games spanning 18 seasons, LeBron James scores in single digits, but gives game-winning assist

Published by Webster

When LeBron James scored eight points in the Los Angeles Lakers’ NBA clash with the Toronto Raptors, a long streak ended for the basketball legend. For the first time after 1,297 successive regular season games (not including playoffs), LeBron had scored less than double digit figures. But LeBron left the arena happy after assisting Rui Hachimura for a three-pointer which turned out to be the game-winning shot in the Lakers’ 123-120 win rather than shoot himself to try and get to the double-figure mark. The streak started on January 6, 2007. It was the longest such streak in NBA history by a country mile: Michael Jordan had 866 consecutive double-digit scoring games, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had 787 and Karl Malone had the fourth-longest run at 575. According to data pulled out by AP Sports, during his streak, there were 1,266 times when the NBA future hall of famer had reached the 10-point mark by the start of the fourth quarter. When journalists asked LeBron for his thoughts on the streak ending, he replied: “None. We won.” …
