After 137 days, the former Congress leader Rahul Gandhi returned to Parliament on Monday after the Lok Sabha secretariat approved his return as an MP in the Lower House. On Friday, the Supreme Court stayed the conviction in the defamation case of Rahul Gandhi which restored his Parliament membership. The celebratory atmosphere among the Congress supporters as the notification of his restoration as a Lok Sabha MP was released by Utpal Kumar Singh, General Secretary of Lok Sabha. Congress party with its INDIA alliance members welcomed Rahul Gandhi very warmly in the Parliament, Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson and Lok Sabha MP also joined them. Congress leaders expressed their happiness at this news by feeding each other sweets at the party office. 

On his arrival Rahul Gandhi straightforwardly went to the Mahatma Gandhi statue and paid homage to him, after this he also raised the slogans of ‘Satyamev Jayate’ there. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge along with senior leader K.C Venugopal congratulated the people of Wayanad. Unprecedented visuals come from the parliament, where so many leaders greeted him with joy. 

Just after he reached the parliament he organised a meeting with Manipur PCC (Pradesh Congress Committee) President Shri Keisham Meghachandra, CLP (Congress Legislature Party) leader and former CM Okram Ibobi Singh and other leaders from the violence-hit state. In the meeting Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi along with Party President Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader K.C Venugopal were present. He also changed his Twitter bio to ‘Member of Parliament.’ 

Reports suggested that now the Congress party will take an aggressive approach in the Parliament on the Manipur issue and No-confidence motion. Amid sloganeering and disagreements in the houses, both houses are adjourned till 2 PM. On one side Congress wants a discussion on Manipur while on the other side, BJP Rajya Sabha targets the Congress for atrocities against women in Rajasthan. BJP leaders say that “Rahul Gandhi is still not blame-free, the final verdict is yet to come.” 

The web’s a-buzzin’ like a beehive on a hot day, dig? Two tech big dogs, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, have tossed down the glove, gearing up for a wicked cage brawl. The latest development popped up on Musk’s X account – that is his revamp of Twitter if you did not know,  where he told that the cage fight might be delayed. Seems an MRI report found a fault in his neck and upper back that might need a surgeon’s intervention. However, Rocket Man is keeping his chin up, promising a solid date this week. 

Over in Zuck’s corner, he is all fired up and ready to fight. He suggested August 26 for the cage fight he is still waiting on Musk to green-light it. Zuck says, “I am all ready for this fight. Aug 26 was my call, but no word from him yet. Not holding my breath.” This billionaire bust-up has been the talk of the town since they agreed to it back in June. First, everyone was jawing about it, then the chatter died down by the end of June, leaving Zuck expressing if this cage fight would ever come true. The clash’s venue will be Musk’s Twitter, which is currently undergoing a rebranding as ‘X’. Musk announced that all earnings from this live stream of the battle will be donated to charity for veterans, earning him praise for his philanthropic gesture.

Twitter CEO, Linda Yaccarino, is jazzed about the big event and also commented on Musk’s tweet, telling that she is clearing her schedule to catch every punch. Zuck and Musk are both gunning for this to happen, but we are all playing the waiting game until one of them gives us the go-ahead. In the meantime, Musk’s been sweating it out with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu whiz Lex Fridman and UFC champ George St-Pierre. And Zuck? Well, he has been polishing his reputation, hoping to land a blow on Musk. He has also been promoting his new social network, Threads, which has been shaking up Twitter’s game. Even with the fight hanging in the balance, people are leaning towards Zuck for the win, due to his extensive training and past MMA victories. Only time will tell who will be the last man standing.

Taylor Swift, that absolute queen of pop culture, is constantly grabbing those headlines – and ya know what? She has totally earned it with the game-changing vibe she has put out there. Recently, the lady we know and love as Miss Americana has been trending non-stop due to her latest tour shenanigans. Tay Tay’s ‘The Eras Tour’ has been crowned the grandest tour of 2023, and the gap is significant. It has hit the jackpot, with tickets disappearing faster than hotcakes at Ticketmaster. Imagine the Swifties have really been praying and fighting for the tickets. Now, it has been officially stamped as the top-grossing tour of the touring world in the first half of 2023, leaving all the other contenders behind. 

Well, let’s dig into the groovy highlights from The Eras Tour that got everyone’s eyeballs poppin’: 

•  Taylor Swift & Taylor Lautner’s Reunion

It would not be wrong to say that Taylor Swift can drop surprises like nobody’s business! Swift pulled some magic tricks at her Eras Tour gig in Kansas City, where she rolled out a fresh music video for the tune ‘I Can See You’ on the same day when she re-released her album Speak Now. This showpiece stars Joey King, Presley Cash, and none other than Taylor Lautner, the muse behind Speak Now’s ‘Back to December.’ Lautner shook the crowd, flipping and cartwheeling onstage like a scene from their movie Valentine’s Day, taking folks down memory lane. After that gig, a snap of Taylor Swift, Taylor Lautner and his better half (coincidentally also named Taylor Lautner) blew up the internet, giving us the most happening Taylor trio of the decade.

• When fans shook the earth, quite literally

The love Swiftes got for their favourite performer made the earth shake, quite literally. When Taylor performed in Seattle, her fans brought an energetic display of loyalty and devotion, dancing and singing non-stop for jaw-dropping hours on two consecutive days. Their wild moves caused seismic vibes equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake. Talk about shaking things up! The last time this Earthquake of Funk happened in Seattle was during an NFL playoff between the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints. The crowd cheered so loud for player Marshawn Lynch that their enthusiasm rocked a nearby seismometer, earning the epic title ‘Beast Quake.’ These fans sure know how to make the ground quake with excitement!

• Swift’s Wheel Deal for the Drivers

Taylor Swift recently played Santa, handing out a whopping $100,000 bonus to each driver. The queen of the music scene, let loose these big-buck surprises before wrapping up the U.S. leg of her tour. Two companies, Upstaging Inc. and Shomotion LLC, are behind the scene, hauling Swift’s groovy gear for the tour, including the stage, lights, guitars, mics, speakers, you name it. And guess what? Each driver received a handwritten, personalized letter from Swift herself, thanking them for their hard work during the tour. The cherry on top – the big, fat bonus was mentioned at the end of the letter, and the drivers couldn’t believe their eyes. Now, ain’t that the sweetest thing? Long live the queen!

• When the security guard scored the job solely to vibe at Swift’s concert

This Nashville enthusiast was majorly bummed out when he could not grab the tickets for Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour. He was so shaken that he hustled his way into Nissan Stadium by becoming a security guard just to be there at the concert. A clip went crazy viral showing Davis Perrigo singing out those tunes with all his soul. By day, Perrigo’s crunching numbers as an accountant, and told News Channel 5 Nashville, “My better half gets a laugh saying I sing Taylor’s tracks with the kind of fire despite being someone who has never broken up.” I feel him, though. From where I am, over in India, the ache of not seeing Tay-Tay live is all too real.

With a roller-coaster of emotions, unexpected reunions, literally ground-shaking performances, and surprising bonus bonanzas, The Eras Tour has cemented Taylor Swift’s position in the heart of pop culture. Some reports even say that Taylor Swift might save the USA from a recession. However, the queen of music proved yet again why she deserves her crown, leading not just in numbers, but also in the hearts of her fans worldwide. It is clear that Taylor Swift is not just a singer, but a phenomenon, her tours are a testament to the power and reach of her artistry. From the first chords of her guitar to the last echo of her voice, she captivated us all, setting a new standard for live performances and with the wholesomeness in each tour, she literally drew stars around swifties hearts. As the lights fade for this leg, we are left eagerly waiting for her next leg, ready to sing, dance, and shake the earth once more.

Ashwani Vaishnaw, Cabinet Minister of Communications, Electronics and Information Technology laid down the most anticipated DPDP (Digital Personal Data Protection) bill 2023, today in Lok Sabha. Members of the opposition strongly condemned the introduction of this bill, they pointed out that the bill violates the fundamental right to privacy and it should be sent to the standing committee for inspection. The Government of India had brought a similar bill last year as well, but later they withdrew the bill. It’s important to have some digital rights that uphold the digital privacy of Individuals. In 2017, the Supreme Court of India in one of its judgments recognized the Right to Privacy as a fundamental right under the Constitution.

The bill aims at the extraction of personal data in a manner “which recognizes both the personal right of an individual and protects the personal data in a lawful purpose.” Ashwani Vaisjnaw said that “This is not a financial bill which should be sent for consideration and when the discussion happens we will answer all the questions raised by the opposition.” 

Data is of two types, Personal Data, and Non-Personal Data. Personal Data refers to the data by which an individual is identified. Non-Personal Data is by which we can not identify a person’s traits, characteristics, and attributes. So, the Digital Data Protection Bill is related to the usage of ‘Personal data’ by organisations that must be done legally, fair to the individuals concerned, and transparent to individuals.

The principles of the Bill are; Data will only be used for the aim for which it was collected, and in data minimization; only necessary data should be procured, the bill also emphasises data accuracy, some reasonable precautions to ensure there is “no unapproved collection or processing of personal data,” and the individual who decides the purpose and means of the processing of private data should be accountable for such processing. 

Features of the Bill

Data Principal; A person whose data is collected.

Data Fiduciary; Which decides the “purpose and means of the processing of an individual’s data”.

Significant Data Fiduciary; Significant Data Fiduciaries are those who deal with large data. The Central government will decide them.

Rights of Individual; an individual should have access to basic information.

Right to Consent; Individuals need to permit before their data is refined and “every citizen should know what items of private data, a Data Fiduciary wants to collect and the purpose of such collection and further processing”, and “a person also has the right to withdraw consent from a Data Fiduciary”.

Right to Erase; Individuals will have the right to demand the erasure and correction of data collected by the Entity.

Right to Nominate; Data individuals will also have the right to nominate a person who will exercise these rights in the event of their death or incapacity.

Bill also has some data penalties like data fiduciary; The bill proposes to impose some penalties on businesses that breach the data or fail to notify users when breaches happen. The fine of Rs. 50 crores to Rs. 500 crores will be imposed. For data holders; If a user provides wrong documents while registering for an online service, or files frivolous grievance complaints, the user could be penalised up to Rs 10,000.

India has IT Rules 2011 for Data Protection, but as you know “Data is the New Oil”. We also need some strong laws that protect the Privacy of an individual. The government may face some hurdles in passing the bill as the opposition may oppose the bill and raise other issues like Inflation, Unemployment, Manipur violence, and many other burning issues. In 2018 a committee headed by Justice B.N Shrikrishna prepared a draft of the Data Protection Bill. The bill was also introduced in 2022 but was withdrawn by the government. Attorney General R. Venkataramani already informed a Constitutional Bench led by Justice K.M Joseph, this indicates that the government is in the mood to give their citizens their Digital rights.

August 3rd is going to write a new chapter in the history of Indian cricket when India will play against West Indies in Trinidad in a T20 match, they’ll be only the second team to play 200 International T20I matches. Right now Pakistan is the only team to have an experience of 200 T20I matches at the international level, they achieved this feat last year when they played against England. In the history of the shortest cricket format, Indian Premier League franchise Mumbai Indians were the first team to play 200 T20I matches at any level. In this format of the game, India made their debut against South Africa about 13 years ago at Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg on 1 December 2006.

Twenty20 International (T20I) is the shortest format of cricket at the international level, played between two of the international members of the International Cricket Council (ICC), in which each team faces a maximum of twenty overs. The first-ever T20I match between two men’s sides was played on 17 February 2005, involving Australia and New Zealand.

Just having a 1-match experience in the format, team India participated in the Inaugural edition of the T20 world cup 2007, and they returned as its winner, defeating their arch-rival Pakistan in the final by 5 runs. The inexperienced team led by the young captain MS Dhoni stunned everyone with their performance. The 2007 edition is famous for Yuvraj Singh’s six sixes in an over-and-bowl-out incident involving India and Pakistan. 

India’s former T20I captain and modern-day great Rohit Sharma holds the record of playing the most number of T20I matches (148) and hitting the most individual centuries (4) by a player. He is also the second-highest run-getter in the format with 3853 at an average of 31.32. He also tops the six-hitting chart with 182 sixes under his name. His colleague and another modern-day legend, Virat Kohli is the first player to complete 4000 T20I runs in history.

West Indian legend Chris Gayle was the first player to score a T20I century. Since then there are more than 100 centuries scored by the different players of different teams. India is the top contributor in the list with 13 International centuries from 7 players. The leggy Yvzi Chahal is the leading wicket-taker for India in the format with 91 wickets. The best economy rate for a fast bowler in T20I cricket is also held by an Indian Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

While on the one hand, there is a tussle between the BJP and the opposition in Delhi over some issues. On the other hand, the senior leader of the INDIA alliance Sharad Pawar met the Prime Minister at an event in Pune on Tuesday. Sharad Pawar and PM Modi greet each other very warmly and the PM also enquires about the health of the veteran Marathi leader. The meeting of these two leaders has created panic in the political world. On the 103rd death anniversary of the great Indian freedom fighter Bal Gangadhar Lokmanya Tilak, PM Modi was conferred with the Lokmanya Tilak National Award. The event is organised by Lokmanya Tilak Smarak Mandir Trust, where Sharad Pawar was present as a Chief Guest. 

Along with Sharad Pawar, the senior congress leader and former home minister of India Sushil Kumar Shinde was also present at the event, their presence created havoc in the opposition alliance. Uddhav Thackeray led Shiv-Sena and other opposition parties like Congress and Aam Aadmi Party were requesting both the leaders to turn their back from the event, because their attendance can raise questions on the unity of the opposition. 

Apart from the Award ceremony, PM Modi also flagged off the complete section of the Pune metro, designs of some metro stations drew inspiration from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the Prime Minister handed over the keys of houses constructed under PM Awas Yojana and the PM also inaugurated the waste to energy plant. Where he was joined by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde, senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis and the new deputy CM of Maharashtra Ajit Pawar. PM Modi also greets Ajit Pawar and gives him a pit on the back. 

In his speech PM said, “Pune is witnessing the development and a prominent IT hub Bengaluru, where a fast-paced development is a motive but the state government was allying National level political parties to put a hurdle in the progress. Development was impossible in the sphere of dishonesty and mistrust.”  

About Lokmanya Tilak he said, “Mahatma Gandhi called him the father of Modern India and Tilak ji has a quality to identify the young talent. Veer Damodar Savarkar was one such example.” 

On Monday, Nuh, a town in Mewat near Gurugram once again faced violence between two groups. The clash started when Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s ‘Brij Mandal Jalabhiskek Yatra’ was stopped by young men of different communities near Khedla Mod in Nuh, and they started pelting stones on the yatra. Five people were killed and more than 50 people including policemen were injured in the stone pelting and fire shots. To control the situation police imposed a curfew and forced Section 144 of the Indian Penal Code in Nuh. Police also shut down the internet services in the areas of Nuh, Mewat, Faridabad, Sohna, Pataudi, and Manesar till August 2, Wednesday. By the morning of Tuesday, the violence had reached Sohna in Gurugram as well.

BJP district president Gargi Kakkar flagged off the Yatra from the civil lines area of Gurugram which was stopped due to stone pelting in Nuh. As stress takes over the state, there is a ban on the assembly of five or more people in the Gurugram, Palwal, Faridabad, and Rewari districts. Haryana’s Home Minister Anil Vij initiated a probe into the Nuh violence, according to him it was a pre-planned conspiracy by a group of people to harm the communal harmony of the state. Union Minister from Haryana Krishan Pal Gujjar made a statement on the violence and called it an unfortunate incident, in a tweet he said “We request the people of Haryana to maintain brotherhood. Strict action will be taken against those who will be responsible for the violence.” 

The violence took a serious form when 2 home guards of the Haryana police died. 3 cops are also on a ventilator who suffered serious bullet injuries. The maximum damage happened near Badkali Chowk of Nuh where shops, houses, and vehicles have been burnt. Traders of the chowk claimed that the cost of the total damage is in crores, locals of the area also reported that there were no security personnel present in the area at the time of violence. 

The DGP (Director General of Police) kept a close eye on the matter, “The priority is to restore peace in the areas, and we request everyone to not spread fake news about any incident. Those who are involved in this violence will not be spared and serious actions will be taken against them.” 

A young Leicestershire guy, who is suffering from asthma, had a dream to represent his country as a golly in Hockey, but as he grew up, his interest changed to be a professional cricketer like his father. The guy is none other than the legendary English fast bowler Stuart Christopher John Broad, who retired on Monday from all forms of professional and league cricket. No one knew that a player who concedes six sixes in an over in the very early stage of his career would end up being one the greatest bowlers of all time. Broady ended his career with a fairy tale farewell, the only player in the history of cricket to hit a six on the last ball he played and get a wicket on his last ball.  

After the end of 3rd day, the last test match of Ashes 2023 when talking to the English veterans Naseer Husain and Mike Atherton the Nighthawk Stuart Broad announced that this game will be the last game of his cricketing career. The emotional news spread like a fire in the cricket world and all the cricketing legends started sending their best wishes to Broad. 

In his entire career, he played 344 international matches and scalped 847 wickets. Broad made his international debut against Pakistan playing at the County ground, Bristol in a T20 match. He took 2 wickets in 2 balls and narrowly missed a hat-trick. Just after 2 days he made his ODI debut against the same team and took a wicket in his very first over and was also involved in a last-wicket partnership of 29 runs with Darren Gough. His career came into the limelight when India’s white ball stalwart Yuvraj Singh hit him with 6 sixes in an over, but the young lad used that experience to build a whole mental routine. Emerging from this pressure, he improved himself so much that he became a part of the World cup winning team and also became the captain of the team in the next edition. 

Later on, he set his foot on the test arena and would go on to dominate test cricket, and gave us the “Oh my Broad” celebration when he rattled the mighty Australians with a five-wicket haul in just 19 balls. Ottis Gibson, the former West Indian pacer and your mentor, made you believe that your right-arm pace around the wicket against left-hand batters will make you the biggest threat for them. The last ball he bowled on that 22 yard warfare proved right and got the Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey with this skill. 

There are very few athletes who left the field on a very high note and Broad is one of them. He stunned everyone by calling it ‘QUITS’ because everyone around still thinks that he has some fifers left in his armoury, but rest ensured, Stuart left the way he wanted. Thank you Malfoy, “Hope Australians stop moving the Robots now.”
