People may like you more than you think after first meeting
New research highlights that individuals frequently misjudge how much others enjoy their company during interactions. This phenomenon, known as the liking gap, shows that people are harsher judges of their own performance. Participants in studies indicated they liked their partners more than expected. Observers are often unaware of each other's internal doubts and nervousness during conversations. Understanding this may encourage more positive interactions as connections develop over time.

Highlighting the vital imperative for legislative bodies to remain directly accountable to their citizens, Ugandan Member of Parliament Joel Ssenyonyi underscored that global groupings like BRICS serve as an essential foundation for nations to connect, share ideas, and elevate leadership standards. Speaking with ANI on the sidelines of the 12th BRICS Parliamentary Forum, Ssenyonyi emphasised the massive economic and demographic weight represented by the bloc, noting that member countries control roughly 40% of global GDP and account for nearly half of the world's population at 49.5%. Focussing on the core theme of the forum, Ssenyonyi pointed out, I like the theme of this particular summit: 'Fostering Parliaments for People-Centric Development.' That means that whatever we do as leaders, as parliaments, should be about the people. You know, the laws that we pass, the budgets that we pass, the policies that we come up with

Digital Desk | Seoul, Oct 26 (IANS) The ratio of people with migrant backgrounds living in South Korea increased in 2025 from a year earlier to 5.4 per cent, data showed on Monday, with those in their 20s leading the overall gains. The total migrant population came to 2.81 million in 2025, up from 2.71 million a year earlier, according to the Ministry of Data and Statistics. South Korea's total population stood at 51.82 million. The data ministry defines people with a migrant background as those who are immigrants themselves or have at least one parent from overseas. The category includes foreign nationals, naturalised South Koreans and second-generation immigrants. Foreign nationals accounted for 75.1 per cent of the population with a migrant background, followed by second-generation immigrants at 14.1 per cent, reports Yonhap news agency. Another 9.1 per cent acquired South Korean citizenship through naturalisation or recognition of parentage, a legal process in which a parent recognises a child born out of wedlock as their own. By gender, males accounted for 52.5 per cent and females made up 47.5 per cent. There were 110.7 males for every 100 females. The working-age population, comprising people aged 15 to 64, stood at 2.3 million in 2025. By age group, people in their 30s accounted for the largest share at 23.7 per cent, or 667,000, followed by those in their 20s at 21.6 per cent, or 607,000. People in their 40s numbered 439,000, or 15.6 per cent of the total. The number of people in their 20s rose by 36,000 over the period, the largest increase among all age groups. The report also showed 56 per cent of people with a migrant background lived in the greater Seoul metropolitan area, with 17.1 per cent residing in Seoul. South Chungcheong Province had the highest proportion of residents with a migrant background at 8.3 per cent, followed by North Chungcheong Province and Gyeonggi Province, both at 6.5 per cent. The figure for Seoul stood at 5.1 per cent. The southeastern city of Daegu had the lowest proportion at 2.9 per cent.

'Not Once Have People Mentioned Kuhnemann': Khawaja Adds To Australias Selection Dilemma
New Delhi: Former Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja has shared a fresh perspective for the selectors ahead of the decisive final Test against South Africa, bringing in forgotten left-arm spinner Matt Kuhnemann into the selection debate as the visitors look to end the now-levelled series 2-1. The teams call to go ahead with Scott Boland for the Gqeberha Test in place of the experienced Nathan Lyon did not sit well with fans and experts. While the spinner was dropped from the XI, Boland did make the most of the opportunity, picking up his third five-wicket haul and also contributing with the bat as a nightwatchman in the second innings after being enforced a follow-on. However, the game saw the visitors heading in without a frontline spinner, a shocking call which eventually resulted in the Proteas thrashing the Aussies by an innings and 31 runs. With the upcoming final Test in Cape Town now the talk of the town and a selection dilemma looming over the Australian management after their recent thumping, former opener Khawaja has suggested a name beyond Lyon, dubbing Kunhemann as a terrific option against the South African lineup. Weve talked about Boland and Lyon (in the second Test), and not once have people really mentioned Kuhnemann. He is a terrific bowler, a Test bowler. He has a Test five-fa, and done really well for Australia when hes played. Hes been a terrific bowler for a while. With the South Africans having the majority of their players as right-handers, Im not really sure why people arent bringing him into contention, Khawaja told foxsports.com.au. Hes a terrific bowler to keep things tight, much like what (Simon) Harmer did with our batsmen last game. I think the reason they picked Harmer last game was because we have so many left-handed batsmen. When the balls spinning away, its always slightly harder to score. I think Kuhnemann presents the same option, and when its spinning too, he is a very, very good bowler. I know Nathan Lyons the GOAT, and theres nothing against the GOAT! This is purely based on the fact the South Africans have so many right-handers in their team. I think Kuhnemann deserves to be talked about, Khawaja added. Having played just five Tests for the baggy greens since his red-ball debut in 2023, Kunhemann emerged as a worthy left-arm orthodox option, picking up a five-wicket haul in just his second game in the format. However, he hasnt played the long-format game for the national side in over 1.5 years, with his most recent appearance being the Test against Sri Lanka in February 2025, where he finished the two-game series in Galle with 16 wickets. A combination of Lyon and Kuhnemann in Australias playing XI for the series decider appears improbable, although South Africa demonstrated the viability of a two-spinner approach by fielding Simon Harmer alongside left-arm veteran Keshav Maharaj in the opening Durban Test. Australias bowling combination is just one of several selection dilemmas heading into Tuesdays encounter in Cape Town. The selectors must also decide on Nic Maddinsons place at the top of the order, Marnus Labuschagnes role at No. 3 and the composition of the middle order, particularly with Cam Green nearing a return from injury. Maddinson appears most vulnerable as Australia weigh up their options, with Khawaja favouring a return to the middle order rather than continuing as an opener.

'It's Great For Cricket, Brings People Back': Phillips On Close Series Opener Vs IND
The T20Is: New Zealand batter Glenn Phillips called the close, high-scoring first T20I against India a fantastic match, which is great for cricket as Hagley Oval in Christchurch saw a run-feast, where India chased down a record 226 with four wickets in hand. Speaking ahead of the second T20I between New Zealand and India at the same venue on Saturday, the New Zealand batter referenced that close games are great and that they help the crowd to return to the stadiums and watch cricket. Yeah, it's fantastic, great for cricket (on close first game). To be able to have a game like that, going 220, playing 220, I think it's great for this crowd. It brings people back, and that's great for the game, he told broadcasters ahead of the second match. The T20Is these days are often played with quick turnaround, as is seen during the New Zealand-India series. The two teams began the five-match series on Thursday and are again playing on Saturday with less than 48 hours of gap between the end of the opener and the start of the second game at the same venue. Phillips, who made an unbeaten 82 from 40 balls in the opener, spoke on the importance of recovery during the short turnaround. Yeah, I think it's about getting rest and recovery in. Obviously it's been fantastic down here in Christchurch, weather-wise. So I think a few of the boys got out there, played some golf, tried to get their mind off the game as much as possible, and then come back here and refresh and recover for today, he said. He also said that he had a short break with his mates to Newton Peak and to the Southern Alps in between the two matches for some refreshment. Yeah, for me, I actually took a couple of mates up flying. We went out to Newton Peak and to the Southern Alps. Fantastic. It was great to get out there, just free the mind for a little bit, do something that I love, and I guess come back, enjoy the evening, and rest and recover for today, he added. Phillips switched to a left-hander against Bhuvneshwar Kumar on the final ball of New Zealand's innings and nailed a four on the final ball to take the Kiwis to 225/4. He admitted that he trains batting left-handed during the IPL and unleashed his learnings in the game. Yeah, I try to, especially when we have, I guess, the time overseas, like the IPL, for example, where you've got lots of net opportunities, lots of sidearms, lots of throwers. I guess it's a little bit remiss to not use that opportunity to upskill.

Prepared to face cyclonic system, people need not panic: Odisha Minister
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 23 (IANS) Odisha Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari on Friday assured the public that the state government is fully prepared and has completed all the preparations to tackle the impending cyclonic system. While speaking to media persons, Pujari urged the people not to panic as the state has extensive experience handling severe weather disasters and is ready to face such challenges. He said the administration is prepared for the worst-case scenario regardless of the final intensity of the cyclonic storm or landfall location.

Thereafter, it is very likely to move west-northwestwards and intensify further into a deep depression on 25th October & into a cyclonic storm over the Westcentral Bay of Bengal by 26th October morning. It would then continue to intensify further and move west-northwestwards towards North Andhra Pradesh and adjoining South Odisha coasts during the subsequent 2 days, informed the IMD on Friday.
