It was inevitable that a tribute to Gabriel García Márquez would come under pressure to achieve a beautiful opening line, and having thus sidestepped the expectation, it would immediately mention one of the most famous opening lines in the history of literature: “Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice." That is how his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude begins. The line merges three periods of time in a single sentence.

secondhand. “I love the thrill of finding something unique and special that I can’t get anywhere else,” she says. She looks for vintage glass and kitchenware, Christmas cards and puzzles — all things unavailable in conventional stores. This Christmas, about half of the gifts she’s purchased so far have come from thrift stores run by UK charities. The trend is catching on across the globe. Gifting secondhand used to have a bad rap (think last year’s candle or dusty bath set), but it doesn’t carry the taboo it once did. In the UK, some 84% of people say they plan to buy at least one pre-owned Christmas gift this year, according to research by the resale app Vinted and the market researcher Retail Economics. In the US, three in four people believe secondhand gifting has become more socially acceptable over the past year, according to a survey by the resale app OfferUp. The British Heart Foundation charity — with 680 secondhand shops in the UK — says demand has surged.

D Gukesh etched his name in history on Thursday by becoming the youngest world chess champion at the age of 18. Gukesh defeated reigning champion Ding Liren of China in the 14th and final game of their closely contested match to secure the title. The match, which kept chess enthusiasts on edge, ended with Gukesh achieving 7.5 points against Liren’s 6.5 after a dramatic victory in the final classical time control game.

Google's new Willow quantum chip has achieved a remarkable milestone, solving a computational problem in just five minutes—a task that would take the world’s fastest supercomputers 10 septillion years to complete. This breakthrough in quantum computing was demonstrated when Willow outperformed the Frontier supercomputer in a benchmark algorithm, marking a significant step forward for the company’s ambitions in quantum technology. The algorithm used to test Willow’s capabilities, designed purely for benchmarking rather than practical application, showcased the chip’s unprecedented speed. According to Google, Willow completed the task in minutes, a feat that would take 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years for Frontier, far exceeding the age of the universe. This performance is a vast improvement over Google’s earlier claims in 2019, when the company said it could solve a problem in minutes that would take 10,000 years for classical computers.

Most old investors tend not to sell. So, whenever there is positive news flow, new investors come in and then the stocks move up. They are reasonably priced. Start slowly nibbling into these stocks The FIIs clearly seem to be making a comeback, I do not know for how long, but at least it is a healthy buy figure so far this month. But does it seem like the rough patch of September, October is behind us or will the litmus test be in January when we have the next quarterly earnings? Sandip Sabharwal: So, FII flows have been erratic. Earlier, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the flows started to become a bit positive, then they became quite negative. So, tracking these flows to make investment decisions is going to be difficult and that is what some investors should not be doing. So, when some selling creates opportunities to buy and if you are bullish on the markets, then we should be buying, so that is the perspective.

D Gukesh yet again proved equal to the task with defending champion Ding Liren of China as the 10th game of the World Chess Championship between them ended in a draw without much excitement here on Saturday. It was by far the easiest of the game with black pieces for Gukesh as the position played itself out of a London system game wherein Ding Liren took no risks and was also apparently happy with the drawn result. The seventh consecutive draw — and eighth of the match — left both players on an identical tally of 5 points each, still shy of 2.5 points in order to win the championship.

tartle. That useful Scottish word describes the act of hesitating when introducing someone because you've forgotten their name. Tartling, with its delicate mix of awkwardness and mental gymnastics, is an art form you'll get to perfect over time in the busy labyrinth of the corporate world, where name tags and introductions are as fleeting as the average attention span during a quarterly review.

Ranbir Kapoor attended the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, where he shared an anecdote about his wife, Alia Bhatt, and her knowledge of classic music and films. Reflecting on how the current generation isn't as familiar with iconic figures, Ranbir revealed that when he first met Alia, she didn’t know who Kishore Kumar was. Speaking during a conversation with Rahul Rawail at the 55th IFFI, Ranbir said, “When I first met Alia, she asked me who Kishore Kumar was.” The audience reacted with surprise, with one woman even shouting, “Are you serious?” The Animal actor explained further that it reflects the «circle of life,» where legends are sometimes forgotten before being rediscovered by new generations. Meanwhile, reactions on Reddit speculated that Alia might not appreciate Ranbir sharing this detail publicly. Many humorously suggested it could be Ranbir’s subtle way of getting back at Alia for her previous «lipstick» comment about him, which sparked controversy last year.
