Ollie Watkins is, in his own words, a realist. He has never pictured himself playing at a major tournament for England — especially when, as a teenager learning his trade as a striker, he was sent on loan to English sixth-tier club Weston-super-Mare in 2015. So imagine what went through Watkins' mind when he saw his stoppage-time shot fly past Netherlands goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen and into the bottom corner to earn England a place in the European Championship final?

Window shopping, that delightful pastime of strolling past storefronts, eyes alight with curiosity, hands firmly in pockets — no intention to buy, just to savour the visual feast. It's a dance between desire and restraint, a waltz with glass barriers that both tantalise and protect. Each window becomes a miniature gallery, a curated exhibit of consumer culture. Mannequins strike poses, garments whisper secrets and accessories beckon like old friends. You peer through the glass, your breath fogging the barrier, and imagine yourself in those meticulously arranged ensembles. Window displays are theatre stages, where couture meets drama. A sequined sari pirouettes next to a summer dress; a pair of stilettos flirts with a pair of low-cut jeans. The allure lies in the juxtaposition, the unexpected harmony of disparate elements.

The US is the only country so far to land humans on the moon. Luna 25, Russia's first lunar mission, failed in 2023 when it aimed a soft landing on the Moon's South Pole but crashed on the Moon and was lost. Both India and China have successfully landed craft on the moon.

They are against it since the beginning and they say that they are for it. Effigies of Ambedkar, Nehru were burnt. Now they are saying that we are against it.»
