Adeles words is about living from the inside out. Happiness should not depend entirely on whether everyone approves of us. There will always be people who misunderstand us, criticize our choices, or prefer us to be different. That is simply part of being human. What matters is whether we can remain connected to our own values while treating others with kindness and respect.

Iran says strait won't open until US corrects behaviour

Dubai, Aug 8: Iran's politburo-like body known as the Supreme National Security Council said the Strait of Hormuz will not open until the United States corrects its behaviour, issuing new demands that could shake up talks on a deal to manage the waterway and traffic on it. Iran's state broadcaster published the statement by the council's secretary, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, who is also a commander in the powerful Revolutionary Guard. The US must never threaten Iran again, the statement said, and must permanently end the war with Iran and its armed allies in the region. The US must lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports and withdraw its military from the area. It also must completely compensate Iran for war damage, lift sanctions and unconditionally release frozen assets. There was no immediate response from the US, which has wanted an acceptable deal first on the strait before ending the blockade. Iran earlier said it was close to reaching a deal with Oman to manage the strait, which runs between the two countries. Oman, a mediator Gulf Arab country which has said relatively little on the talks, said in a statement Saturday that the discussions were ongoing in a positive and constructive atmosphere, and condemned attacks on ships on the strait.

'Healthy Competition Is Motivating Youngsters': Kanpur Superstars Owner Lalwani On Transformative Impact Of The UPT20 League

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The Kanpur Superstars are fully prepared to launch their bid for the title in the upcoming edition of the UP T20 League. The franchise will begin its campaign on August 15, squaring off against the Noida Kings at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. As the 24-day cricketing extravaganza unfolds, the action will eventually shift to the Superstars' home turf. The Green Park Stadium in Kanpur will host the second phase of the tournament starting August 28, culminating in the playoffs and the grand finale on September 6. Following a highly productive player auction, franchise owner Ayush Lalwani expressed his confidence in the newly constructed squad, emphasizing that the management successfully executed its primary strategy. We are very happy with the way the auction went, said Lalwani. Our aim was to build a balanced squad by covering all the key areas, and I believe we have achieved that. We have a good mix of quality batters, bowlers, and all-rounders, and overall we are pleased with the team we have assembled. The squad features a dynamic blend of proven IPL stars and emerging local talent. The batting lineup is bolstered by explosive and experienced batter Sameer Rizvi. The bowling attack will be spearheaded by premier left-arm fast bowler Mohsin Khan. In addition to sheer talent, the franchise strategically invested in leadership and tactical maturity during the auction. We are delighted to have experienced players like Karn Sharma and Mohammed Amaan in our squad, Lalwani noted. Amaan has also captained the India Under-19 team, so both of them bring valuable experience and leadership. We believe they will play an important role in guiding the younger players and strengthening the team. Recognizing the crucial role of state-level cricket in nurturing grassroots talent, the Kanpur Superstars owner commended the UPCA Speed Hunt, a talent-scouting initiative aimed at discovering raw fast-bowling prospects across Uttar Pradesh. The UPCA Speed Hunt is a fantastic initiative. It gives raw and talented players an opportunity to showcase their skills and get noticed, he explained. The UP T20 League provides them with the perfect platform to perform, and from here they can dream of progressing to the IPL and even representing India. Initiatives like these are very important for the future of cricket in the state. He further elaborated on the broader impact of state T20 leagues on the domestic cricket ecosystem. The growth of state leagues has created healthy competition among players. While opportunities in the IPL and the Indian team are limited, these tournaments motivate youngsters to improve their game and perform consistently, Lalwani said. They know that one good season can open bigger doors for them, and that is what makes these leagues so valuable. As the Superstars head into their pre-season preparations, the ownership has set clear expectations for the squad. The most important qualities I expect from my players are focus, discipline, and commitment. If everyone gives their hundred percent and plays for the team, the results will take care of themselves, Lalwani concluded. As the Superstars head into their pre-season preparations, the ownership has set clear expectations for the squad.
