tennis obsession.' 'That's 15, love,' he says with a goofy grin. Tennis and love are the subjects of Luca Guadagnino's brilliant Challengers, which I watched on the big screen earlier this year — and that's the only way to watch it, to respect the kinetic, uninhibited energy of a movie that refuses to play it safe. You can call this a mashup of lush romantic drama, erotic thriller, and sports movie about overvaulting ambition. Any way you choose to see it, it makes something like King Richard — about the early struggles of Venus and Serena Williams and their dad — look even more insipid than it already was.

China's challenge to American primacy, it's believed, will be the defining contest of the century. While this may be true, a far more dangerous contest is afoot between what seems to be a crumbling old order (US-led West) and a rivalrous new Axis that is struggling to be born — China-Russia-Iran-North Korea (CRIK). Award winning journalist John Pilger tells us that Mao in 1944 had made an appeal to Washington, «China must industrialise, this can only be done by Free Enterprise. Chinese and American interests fit together, economically and politically. We cannot risk crossing America; we cannot risk any conflict». He received no reply. Mao's successors decided to join the system and beat the US at its own game — capitalism & innovation — and are now with its bete noire Russia challenging the American-led order. Iran and North Korea have strengthened this New Axis. The evolving powerplay has created the precise construct that Henry Kissinger had once warned: a Bear-Dragon tandem that is in delightful synchrony. The New Axis has not only performed well in the Ukrainian and West Asian theatres of war, but is also looking towards the Global South (125 countries, 80% of the global population, 40% of global GDP) as its wider field of play.

assassination attempt on former US President and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump over the weekend could well be the gamechanger of the 2024 US presidential polls. The picture of Trump with an injured ear, blood streaming down his face but resilient and in fighting spirit — punching the air with a clenched fist — is expected to become the defining image of US politics for some time to come. It presents a stark foil to the image of incumbent President Joe Biden, who is facing ever louder calls to step down from the presidential race given the uncertainties over his age and health. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among the first to “strongly condemn” the assassination bid. “Deeply concerned by the attack on my friend, former President Donald Trump. Violence has no place in politics and democracies. Wish him speedy recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased, those injured and the American people,” the PM posted on X. In the US, both the Republicans and the Democrats have condemned the attack. President Biden spoke to Trump after the incident. “There’s no place in America for this kind of violence… It’s sick,” the President said. “That’s one of the reasons why we have to unite this country. You cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this,” Biden has been quoted as saying.

yoga pose that literally translates as seated forward bend. It involves being seated with your legs straight in front of you, raising your hands, exhaling and bending forward to touch your feet. If you are proficient, your nose will touch your knees; if not, you gaze at your toes. And you notice something you have always taken for granted — the sheer difference in the size and length of each toe. The big toe, weight-bearing, carries a significant load of a person's body weight, helps grip the ground, gives us balance, and is responsible for 80-85% of our stability. It plays a critically important role. How many of us are even aware of this? We look at it daily and take it for granted as we do for so much of our body. Worse, we also tend to take for granted so many relationships that are important for our emotional well-being. The result is that, paradoxically, we neglect our near and dear ones the most. We tend to be rude to them while we are at our polite Sunday best with rank strangers. We ignore our loved ones and take their presence and support for granted.
