Published by Parlour News

The Commonwealth Games (CWG) handover ceremony at Glasgow on August 2 marks more than the passing of a sporting baton. It is the world’s first glimpse of the CWG 2030 host nation’s identity. Manushi Chillar leaves for Glasgow to perform at CWG 2026 closing ceremony This year, one of the faces introducing India culturally at the ceremony to that global audience will be actor and former Miss World Manushi Chhillar. For someone who has represented the country before and grown up playing competitive sport, the moment, she says, carries both pride and emotion. Describing her first reaction to being invited to perform at the ceremony, Chhillar, says “I was genuinely thrilled. The Commonwealth Games represent much more than a sporting event. They’re a celebration of excellence, discipline and the spirit of bringing people together. To be part of it, representing India on such a global stage, feels incredibly special. It’s an honour to contribute, even in a small way, to a moment that celebrates our athletes and our country.” While she remains tight-lipped about what …

C.P. Radhakrishnan , Vice-President of India. | Photo Credit: SIVA SARAVANAN S Vice-President of India C.P. Radhakrishnan said in Coimbatore on Wednesday that it was important that students always promote the integrity and unity of the nation. “India is today in a position to dictate the terms or give fitting reply to the international forces only because we are united,” said Mr. Radhakrishnan at the Coimbatore International Airport, while declining to comment on the students’ protest in Delhi. “It is a political question and political leaders will answer it”, he said. Asserting that students should always be united, Mr. Radhakrishnan urged them to come forward to protect the unity of the nation. “Our voice will resonate at the global level only if the nation stands united,” he said.

Giving time to the new government in Tamil Nadu is everyone’s wish, your wish as well as mine”. Published – July 22, 2026 10:56 pm IST Disclaimer: …

Argentina’s hero, against a team that doesn’t believe in heroes

Argentina’s hero, against a team that doesn’t believe in heroes

Published by Webster

As Lautaro Martinez sprinted towards the corner flag to celebrate his 92nd-minute winner against England, he was embraced by none. Where did the Argentines vanish? They were surrounding the man who supplied the cross instead. Lionel Messi. Their captain. Their compass. Their god among mortals. The players gravitated towards the same figure again after the full-time whistle, this time hoisting Messi onto their shoulders as the stadium sang: “Que de la mano, de Leo Messi, todos la vuelta vamos a dar.” (“Hand in hand with Leo Messi, we’re all going to celebrate the victory.”) The dressing room echoed the sentiment. “Por la última de Leo, Argentina, quiero verte bicampeón.” (For Leo’s last one, Argentina, I want to see you become a two-time champion) The players reinforced the chant in words. Alexis Mac Allister wants to be a world champion again — not for his own happiness, but Messi’s. “Making Leo feel happy is the most important thing.” Argentina’s Alexis Mac Allister (20) celebrates with teammate Lionel Messi (10) after scoring his side’s opening goal during …
