  • Debate Ignites: Do Migrant Kids Choose to Cross the Border

    Debate Ignites: Do Migrant Kids Choose to Cross the Border

    Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was interviewed by Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation.” When they discussed how migrant families were treated at the border, Noem said that children of migrants have a “choice” about crossing the border illegally.

    She claimed that everyone can choose to be in the country legally or illegally and can even leave the country voluntarily (“self-deport”). Brennan tried to correct her, saying that kids don’t really have a choice in this matter. Still, Noem insisted that children and their parents can decide to stay together or if the parents want to leave the kids behind, that’s a family choice.

    When asked about separating families at the border, Noem said she wasn’t sure if that policy would come back. She blamed President Joe Biden, saying he ignored federal immigration laws, leading to consequences for people who break the law.

    Rep. Jasmine Crockett from Texas disagreed with Noem. She said that entering the country without permission is not a crime; it’s a “civil matter.” Crockett pointed out that local police don’t ignore real crimes because of someone’s immigration status. Instead, they focus on serious crimes and shouldn’t waste time rounding up individuals just because they entered the country illegally.

    Crockett also criticized Republicans for their stance on immigration and called former President Trump the “biggest criminal” to have been in office. She mentioned that people shouldn’t be concerned about immigrants when there are more serious criminals to catch.

  • Why Was PCB Missing from Champions Trophy Ceremony?

    Why Was PCB Missing from Champions Trophy Ceremony?

    Pakistan’s former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar was surprised when no one from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was present during the Champions Trophy trophy ceremony. The PCB did send its CEO, Sumair Ahmed, to the finals in Dubai, but he was not invited onto the stage. This incident left the PCB very upset.

    A source revealed that Sumair Ahmed was there to represent the PCB chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, who couldn’t attend due to other responsibilities. The source suggested it was a misunderstanding because Sumair might not have communicated well with the ICC officials responsible for the ceremony.

    The PCB is considering discussing this issue with the ICC, questioning why their CEO was not called to the stage at such an important event.

    Former players like Wasim Akram were also surprised by this situation. Akram stated, “It’s unbelievable that no one from the PCB was on stage at the final ceremony. We were the hosts, and it felt odd that no representative was there. Even if they couldn’t give out the trophies or medals, someone should have been present.”

    Fans and players alike felt that Pakistan should have had someone on stage, especially since they were co-hosting the tournament, which is a significant event for Pakistan cricket.

  • Oriental Rail Infrastructure Shares Surge 5% After Major Train Order

    Oriental Rail Infrastructure Shares Surge 5% After Major Train Order

    Oriental Rail Infrastructure saw its stock price jump 5% to reach Rs 170.3 in trading on Monday. The reason? The company just landed a big deal to supply seats for the Vande Bharat Express, which is India’s very first home-grown semi-high-speed train.

    The order, worth Rs 42.89 crore, comes from the Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala. It’s for eight sets of seats for Trainset-18, or Vande Bharat Express. The company must deliver these seats by July 24, 2026. They will get 95% of the payment right after the seats are inspected and sent, and the last 5% once everything is accepted.

    This is an exciting step for Oriental Rail Infrastructure as they dive into helping with the Vande Bharat project. This effort is part of Indian Railways’ plan to update its trains and make travel better.

    In their most recent earnings report for the third quarter of FY25, Oriental Rail Infrastructure posted a net profit of Rs 7.52 crore, but that’s down nearly 40% compared to last year’s Rs 12.51 crore. On the bright side, their revenue from operations went up by 4.3% year-over-year to Rs 152.82 crore.

    Looking at some technical indicators, the stock’s relative strength index (RSI) is at 35. An RSI below 30 means a stock is thought to be oversold, while above 70 suggests it might be overbought. The MACD indicator is at -24.7, showing a downward trend for the stock.

    Right now, Oriental Rail Infrastructure’s shares are below all key moving average lines, including the 20-day to 200-day averages.

    In terms of performance, the stock has dropped 47% over the last three months, but it has risen by a whopping 230% over the last two years. The company is valued at Rs 1,057 crore.

    Oriental Rail Infrastructure is known for making various railway products like seats, berths, coated fabrics, plywood, and more.

  • Inzamam Defends Pakistan Cricket Against Gavaskar’s Comments

    Inzamam Defends Pakistan Cricket Against Gavaskar’s Comments

    Former cricket star Inzamam-ul-Haq from Pakistan has strongly disagreed with Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar. Gavaskar recently said that India could beat Pakistan with their second-best team, calling attention to the big gap between how the two teams are performing lately.

    Pakistan used to have a strong record against India, but they have now lost their last six matches. Inzamam has spoken out against players like Mohammad Rizwan and how the Pakistan team has played but believes Gavaskar went too far with his comments.

    Inzamam reminded Gavaskar of the history between India and Pakistan, saying that Gavaskar once did not play in a match against Pakistan in Sharjah. He expressed respect for Gavaskar but insisted that it is not right for him to speak about other countries that way. Inzamam said, “Gavaskar should check the statistics – they show where Pakistan stands. I was hurt by his statement. He is a great player, but his comments are hurting his own legacy. He should think before he speaks.”

    Gavaskar had noted that “a B team from India can definitely challenge Pakistan in their current form,” which sparked a debate. Former Pakistan coach Jason Gillespie also called Gavaskar’s remarks “nonsense.”

    The Champions Trophy was a significant cricket event for Pakistan, marking the return of an ICC tournament after 29 years. Unfortunately, Pakistan could not advance to the semi-finals, losing matches to both New Zealand and India.

  • Why Do Some Hiring Managers Reject Job Hoppers? A Job Seekers’ Story

    Why Do Some Hiring Managers Reject Job Hoppers? A Job Seekers’ Story

    A job seeker recently shared a frustrating experience about being turned down for a job because the interviewer didn’t like his history of changing jobs. The hiring manager had been with the same company for 20 years and expected others to stay at a job for a long time too.

    The candidate, a developer, explained why he left his last few jobs every three years. He said that at his first job, the work became boring, and he didn’t see a way to grow in his career, so he decided to leave. At his second job, he lasted almost three years until mass layoffs happened after a big company bought them out. Now, at his current job, he wanted to switch to a different project that matched his career goals, but he was told he needed to stay in the same project for 2.5 years before he could move, which led him to look for other opportunities instead.

    Despite explaining his reasons, the interviewer was not convinced. The hiring manager got upset because he thought everyone should stick to a job as long as he did.

    The interviewer also didn’t like the candidate’s answer when asked where he saw himself in a few years. The candidate said he wanted to become an architect to really understand projects from start to finish, but the hiring manager thought this was too focused on tech and not enough on customers. The candidate argued that doing great work would make customers happy, but the interviewer didn’t agree.

    Many people who read about this shared their thoughts. One person commented that the hiring manager might not understand that many people switch jobs these days because of the current job market and inflation. Another pointed out that changing jobs every three years is actually pretty common now. A third commented that hiring managers often use excuses to reject candidates.

  • Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj Takes Charge as Jathedar of Takht Kesgarh Sahib

    Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj Takes Charge as Jathedar of Takht Kesgarh Sahib

    Chandigarh: Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj took charge as the jathedar (leader) of Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib at Anandpur Sahib in Punjab’s Rupnagar district on Monday. This important ceremony was attended by the ‘Panj Piaras’, a group of five beloved Sikhs. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) had previously announced Kuldeep Singh Gargaj’s appointment on March 7, and he will also act as the jathedar of the Akal Takht in Amritsar, the top authority for Sikhs.

    The SGPC decided to remove Giani Raghbir Singh from Akal Takht and Giani Sultan Singh from Kesgarh Sahib. This decision was met with anger from many Sikh leaders, including senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia.

    Both Akal Takht and Takht Kesgarh Sahib are two of the five key religious seats in Sikhism. Before taking on his new role, Kuldeep Singh Gargaj prayed at Takht Kesgarh Sahib. During the ceremony, the head Granthi (priest) Giani Joginder Singh led an ‘ardas’ (prayer), and the ‘Panj Piaras’ honored Gargaj by giving him a special turban. Other SGPC members also presented ceremonial turbans to him.

    In his speech, Kuldeep Singh Gargaj urged the Sikh community to come together under one ‘Nishan Sahib’ (Sikh flag) during these challenging times. He thanked the 10 Sikh Gurus and Guru Granth Sahib for this honor. He shared that he is proud to serve the Takht, despite growing up in a humble Sikh family. After starting his journey as a ‘Pathi’ (reader of prayers), he pledged to continue spreading the teachings of Sikhism.

  • India Clinches ICC Champions Trophy: Rohit and KL Rahul Lead the Victory

    India Clinches ICC Champions Trophy: Rohit and KL Rahul Lead the Victory

    After India’s exciting victory against New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy final, team captain Rohit Sharma praised KL Rahul for staying calm under pressure. Rohit mentioned how much he appreciates Rahul’s contributions, especially batting at number six. This win marked India’s third Champions Trophy title and their seventh overall in white-ball cricket.

    KL Rahul, who has batted in different positions before, played an important role in the final by scoring 34 not out off 33 balls when the team really needed runs. Across five matches, he scored 140 runs, averaging an impressive 140.00.

    During the press conference, Rohit shared how thoughtful they were about Rahul’s batting position because of his ability to keep a cool head. He explained that when KL is at the crease, he helps keep the team relaxed too. Rahul may not always score huge runs, but his 30 to 40 runs can be vital, especially in tough situations.

    Rohit also talked about his own innings of 76 runs, which was a big improvement after scoring only 104 runs in the past four matches. He knew it was important to score early when the pitch conditions were good. He aimed to build a strong foundation for the team and felt pleased with his performance despite getting out.

    He remarked how satisfying it was to contribute to a victory, especially after the last World Cup where he scored a lot but didn’t win. He emphasized that small but crucial contributions help the team win.

    Rohit acknowledged the brilliance of his opening partner, Shubman Gill, noting that they complement each other’s playing styles well. He also praised the entire team’s consistency in finals across different ICC events, showing that they can bounce back even after losses.

    He concluded the press conference by dedicating the win to the whole country, expressing gratitude for the support they receive from fans. Winning such significant tournaments brings joy not just to the players, but to everyone in India.

    In the match, New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat first. They started well, but Kuldeep Yadav bowled effectively, taking key wickets. New Zealand finished with 251 runs. In response, India had a strong start, and even after losing some wickets, KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya helped secure the victory with six wickets and one over to spare.
