  • Ashwin Retires: Celebrating a Legendary 14-Year Cricket Journey!

    Ashwin Retires: Celebrating a Legendary 14-Year Cricket Journey!

    It’s tough to outsmart Ravichandran Ashwin, both on the cricket field and with words. Recently, Virat Kohli shared how Ashwin’s retirement made him emotional, thinking about their 14 years of playing together for India. Kohli wrote a heartfelt message, saying, “I’ve enjoyed every bit of my journey with you, Ash. Your skills and contributions to Indian cricket are unmatched. You will always be remembered as a legend. I wish you all the best in life!” Kohli concluded this touching note with love and gratitude.

    In response, Ashwin thanked Kohli, saying, “I’ll be walking out to bat with you at the MCG.” Ashwin is now back in Chennai, promising to support Kohli during the Boxing Day Test against Australia, starting on December 26.

    The emotional moment between Kohli and Ashwin sparked retirement rumors. During a rain break on Day 5 of the third Test, they were seen hugging and chatting in the dressing room. Ashwin later announced his retirement, visibly emotional, alongside captain Rohit Sharma.

    Ashwin reflected on his career, stating, “I don’t want to talk only about myself. I had a lot of fun. I made many memories with Rohit and my teammates, even as we’ve lost some over the years.” He proudly mentioned that they are the last of the “originals.”

    In red-ball cricket, Ashwin played 106 Tests, took 537 wickets (including 37 five-wicket hauls), and scored 3,503 runs. His contributions to Indian cricket go beyond just impressive statistics, making him one of India’s all-time greats.

  • Rand Paul Wants Elon Musk to Replace House Speaker Mike Johnson

    Rand Paul Wants Elon Musk to Replace House Speaker Mike Johnson

    Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky has a bold idea: replacing House Speaker Mike Johnson with tech entrepreneur Elon Musk! Paul thinks that anyone can be Speaker, even someone who isn’t in Congress. He shared this thought on Musk’s social media site, X, saying it would shake things up in Washington and make the political establishment really upset.

    Musk, known for his companies like Tesla, also disapproved of a recent spending bill. He tweeted that anyone who supports this bill should be voted out in two years!

    The House Speaker, Mike Johnson, has been criticized by fellow Republicans for how he handled recent issues, especially the spending bill. Johnson took over as Speaker after Kevin McCarthy was removed from the position last year. With some Republicans unhappy, pressure is building on Johnson.

    Some people, like Democratic commentator Jimmy Williams, don’t agree with Paul’s idea. He said that Senators should focus on their own jobs, not on who should lead the House. However, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia thinks Musk could be a great choice. She stated, “I’d be open to supporting @elonmusk for Speaker of the House.” She believes that getting Musk in the position could help make the government work better.

    Meanwhile, Congressman Thomas Massie from Kentucky wouldn’t support Johnson’s leadership without a “Christmas miracle.” Another lawmaker, Victoria Spartz from Indiana, has decided not to work with the Republicans anymore, which makes Johnson’s support even weaker. Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri criticized Johnson’s actions as well, calling the spending bill situation a “horrible plan” during an interview.

  • Reliance Industries: Oil Deal Boosts Shares Amid Tough Market Conditions

    Reliance Industries: Oil Deal Boosts Shares Amid Tough Market Conditions

    Reliance Industries, a famous company in India, is making news again! They have restarted a deal with Venezuela’s state oil company, PDVSA, to swap oil. This agreement had stopped for some time because of rules from the U.S. government. However, in July, the U.S. allowed this oil trade to happen again, according to a letter from PDVSA.

    Just earlier this month, a large ship carrying around 1.9 million barrels of Venezuelan oil left for a port in India called Sikka. In return, Reliance sent a smaller shipment of 500,000 barrels of another kind of oil back to PDVSA.

    But not everything is good news for Reliance this year. 2024 has been tough, and their stock prices are likely to end in the red. This is the first time in nearly ten years that the company’s shares are falling. Since their highest price in July, the value of Reliance shares has dropped by around 21%, losing more than ₹4.4 lakh crore in value.

    In the past, Reliance did very well, with a fantastic 70.55% return in 2017 and steady profits until 2020. But now, their growth is slowing down. In 2021, their return fell to 19.32%, then 7.60% in 2022, and just 1.44% in 2023. Analysts are becoming careful with their predictions, mentioning problems like slower growth, rising costs for buildings, and a need for spending to grow the business. Additionally, the quick rise of companies that deliver things fast is putting pressure on what Reliance makes, especially in the retail part of their business.

    According to data from Niftystat, experts say there could be a better future for Reliance. They have an average target price of ₹1,602 for the stock, which means it could go up by 30% from current prices. 37 analysts agree on a ‘Buy’ recommendation for Reliance shares.

    On Thursday, Reliance shares closed at ₹1,230.60, which is down 1.8%. This drop came while the main market index, the Sensex, also went down by 1.12%. The stock has fallen over 16% in the last three months, and 4% over the past year, leaving the company’s total value at ₹16,65,293 crore.

    Travis Kelce Surprises Taylor Swift with an Epic Birthday Bash!

    Taylor Swift had an unforgettable surprise thanks to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, star of the Kansas City Chiefs. He threw her a party that was full of fun decorations and items from her past music eras. The highlight of the night? A special “22” hat, but this time, it was for Swift herself!

    While many thought the party was for her 35th birthday and the end of her Eras Tour, it turned out to be a surprise “congratulations party” from Travis. Jo-Jo Edwards-Helaire, the wife of Travis’s teammate, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, shared the news on social media.

    The party featured loads of cool surprises for fans of Swift’s music, called Swifties. There were cleaning carts, green capes, and friendship bracelets, as guests dressed in outfits reflecting Swift’s many music eras like Lover and Reputation.

    Swift’s close friend Ashley shared on Instagram how Taylor thought it would be a quiet dinner, only to find out it was a massive surprise with friends and family, along with fun props.

    The story behind the famous “22” hat is that during her Eras Tour, Swift would wow fans by performing her song “22” and give the hats to lucky audience members. Stars like Selena Gomez’s sister and Kobe Bryant’s daughter have been lucky recipients!

    Swift once explained that “22” captures the joyful, carefree feeling of being young and learning about life. She often chose fans with special stories to give the hats to.

    At the surprise party, Kelce playfully gave Swift her own black fedora, turning the tables on her usual tradition. Ashley Avignone shared this sweet moment on Instagram, cheekily captioning it, “And the last 22 hat goes to…”.

    The guest list included Brittany Mahomes, who dazzled in a sparkly silver dress, Patrick Mahomes in a sharp suit, and Lyndsay Bell in a cute pink outfit that fit the Lover era. Ashley showed off a plush snake necklace, which was a nod to Swift’s Reputation album.

  • Starbucks Baristas Strike for Better Pay During Holidays

    Starbucks Baristas Strike for Better Pay During Holidays

    Starbucks baristas, who are part of a workers’ union with over 10,000 members, will go on strike this Friday morning in stores in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle. Their union, called Workers United, has workers in 525 Starbucks locations across the United States. They plan to hold more strikes each day, and by Christmas Eve, they could be striking at hundreds of stores.

    The union wants Starbucks to finalize a deal about workers’ rights and pay. In February, Starbucks and the union made a plan to help with organizing and negotiations. They started talking about contracts in April, but Starbucks hasn’t given a good offer yet. The union stated this on Thursday, even though Starbucks had promised to reach agreements by the end of the year.

    Starbucks hasn’t replied to the union’s statements. The coffee company is trying to improve its stores under its new leader, Brian Niccol. He wants to make cafes more comfortable, shorten wait times to under four minutes, and make the menu simpler.
