The Young Titans of Indian Cricket: A Fight to Remember in England

England is no ordinary battlefield for Test cricket. The ball swings like a pendulum, the skies shift moods without warning, and every blade of grass carries a challenge. Legends have stumbled here, giants have fallen. Yet, in the summer of this series, a young Indian side walked into this cauldron and walked out with heads held high— 2–2 in England! A scoreline that is worth far more than its numbers. This wasn’t just cricket. This was a statement. A roar. A proclamation that Indian cricket’s next generation is ready to conquer the world. The lineup wasn’t star-studded with the usual veterans. It was a brigade of fearless youngsters —untamed, unafraid, and unapologetically aggressive. And amidst them, like a calm elder brother, stood K.L. Rahul . He didn’t impose his seniority; he dissolved into the team’s rhythm. He lent quiet confidence when storms brewed and showed that leadership sometimes means blending in, not standing apart . But if Rahul was the calm, then Mohammed Siraj was ...

From Leela to Shreya: A Tribute to the Voices that Shaped Malayalam Cinema

There was a time in Malayalam cinema when most of the female voices that ruled our hearts were not from Kerala. The golden era began with the legendary P. Leela, followed by the magical voices of P.

With them, the “Malayalee touch” finally came into full bloom. Their clarity, flawless diction, and emotional depth made every song resonate with authenticity. They set new benchmarks and made us realize that perfection could also be wrapped in tenderness. And yet, ...

Alembic- A real milestone

118 years of Alembic journey in India is not just a milestone—it’s a story of perseverance, trust, and relationships. For me, Alembic is not just another pharmaceutical company—it is an emotion, a legacy, and a family name I grew up hearing every single day. My father dedicated 42 years of his life to Alembic . Normally, employees would retire after 40 years of service, but he was given a special 2-year extension —because the company simply could not find a replacement for his experience, his deep market understanding, and above all, the trust he commanded among doctors and stockists . 35 years as a Medical Representative , where he built Alembic’s name brick by brick, prescription by prescription, handshake by handshake. 7 years as a Sales Manager in Kerala , where he didn’t just “manage a team”—he inspired them, guided them, and often carried the burden of sales targets himself. What made him different? It wasn’t just product knowledge or numbers—it was his relationships . ...
