Quote of the Day by Zendaya emphasizes on happiness and making choices that align with our passions and values, we create lives that are both meaningful and rewarding. Happiness should not be postponed until certain goals are achieved; it should be woven into everyday decisions and experiences. In a world that often emphasizes external accomplishments, Zendayas message reminds us that the greatest success is living a life that brings joy, purpose, and genuine contentment. Ultimately, when happiness becomes a priority, many other aspects of life naturally fall into place.

Womens T20 WC: Kapp Hits Career-best 81 Not Out As South Africa Hand India Their First Defeat (Ld)
T20 World Cup: Veteran all-rounder Marizanne Kapp produced one of the finest knocks in Womens T20 World Cup history, smashing an unbeaten 81 off 45 balls to seal South Africas sixwicket win over India in a Group A thriller at Old Trafford on Sunday. Chasing 159 in front of 11,712 fans, South Africa were floundering by making just 25 runs in the powerplay before Marizannes brilliance flipped the contest. Even as N Sree Charani took three scalps, including off a double-wicket maiden over, Marizanne unleashed her powerful shots through square of the wicket and downtown to hit seven fours and four sixes, while sharing a 97run stand with Tazmin Brits (40), including adding 66 runs from overs 10-15. After Chloe Tryons thick edge brought the winning runs, Marizanne, twice reprieved by Radha Yadav, dropped to her haunches in relief as South Africa handed India their first defeat of the tournament. Earlier, Harmanpreet Kaur marked her 200th T20I appearance, the first by any cricketer. But Marizanne and Shabnim picked two wickets each as a disciplined South Africa bowling line-up kept India to 158/7. The 33run stand between Harmanpreet and Deepti was Indias best partnership, thus underlining how sharp South Africas attack remained relentless. By the time the game ended, Marizanne proved once again why she remains one of the premier allrounders in womens cricket. Indias innings began with Shafali Verma clipping Marizanne off her pads for four, before driving Shabnim Ismail through cover. Smriti Mandhana joined in, driving Shabnim on the up and pulling her for consecutive boundaries. After flicking Marizanne wide of midon, Smriti went for an ambitious scoop, but missed the length, and saw her stumps rattled, with the all-rounder celebrating in an animated manner. Chloe Tryons introduction brought runs Shafali danced down to thrash through cover, swept powerfully, and launched a 74metre six in a 17run over. But Shabnims hostile bumper snared her glove - the 122.5 kmph delivery took a feather edge and Shafali was out for 31. Yastika Bhatia struck fine boundaries before being trapped lbw by Ayabonga Khaka for 15. Jemimah Rodrigues followed - closing her bat face too late and falling to Nadine de Klerks diving caughtandbowled for 12. Harmanpreet and Deepti steadied Indias innings with a 33run stand, before Shabnim bowled Harmanpreet for 24. Though Deepti and Richa Ghosh hit three boundaries in seven balls, Indias tempo never lifted. Deepti, assured with the sweep, was undone by Nonkululeko Mlabas slower floater and miscued to short fine leg for 29. Richa, struggling for rhythm, was removed by Marizannes slower ball - topedging a sweep to short fine. Debutant Prema Rawat and Arundhati Reddy added a couple of runs before India closed their innings two runs short of 160. South Africas chase began cautiously against Shafalis offspin. Though India kept things tight, Laura Wolvaardt cracked a drive past point off Nandni Sharma for four, before she pulled Arundhati Reddy for six and thumped Shafali for another boundary. But Charanis leftarm spin helped India claw back she lured Laura into a lofted drive and took a return catch. After a dot ball, Charani took out Annerie Dercksen, who swiped across the line to be bowled for a duck, as the spinners doublewicket maiden over left South Africa reeling at 25/2. Tazmin tried to rebuild with Marizanne and the former stepped up by reversesweeping Deepti for four. Marizanne struggled initially, mistiming drives and sweeps, but gradually found her rhythm. Premas legspin was taken on by Marizanne a carve over cover for four was followed by top-edge on a sweep palmed over by Nandni for six The partnership grew in confidence - Nandni was scooped over fine leg for four by Marizanne, while Deepti was lofted over longon by Brits, who also survived an lbw review thanks to an underedge. After Marizanne was put down by substitute fielder Radha at long-on off Charanis bowling, she showed her full flow lofting and sweeping her for boundaries, before sweeping Arundhati on consecutive deliveries to bring up her fifty in 34 balls and crunching a full toss from Deepti through cover for four. Though Tazmin pulled straight to deep square leg off Shafali, Marizanne dispatched her down the ground for four and earned a reprieve again from Radha shelling a sitter at long-on. Though Charani castled Nadine after being hammered over extra cover for four, Chloe cutting through cover for four meant South Africa inched closer to complete the chase. After Marizanne was put down by substitute fielder Radha at long-on off Charanis bowling, she showed her full flow lofting and sweeping her for boundaries, before sweeping Arundhati on consecutive deliveries to bring up her fifty in 34 balls and crunching a full toss from Deepti through cover for four.

He Could Be At A Turning Point In His Career': Gavaskar After Prasidh's Five-fer Against Afghanistan
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Batting great Sunil Gavaskar believes fast bowler Prasidh Krishna may have reached a turning point in his international career after producing a match-winning spell to guide India to a nine-wicket, series-sweeping victory over Afghanistan in the third ODI at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Prasidh registered his maiden ODI five-wicket haul with outstanding figures of 5-23 in nine overs, ripping through Afghanistans top order and reducing them to 36/4. His efforts laid the foundation for Indias comfortable win before Yashasvi Jaiswals unbeaten 110 and Rohit Sharmas 79 helped the hosts chase down 219 with ease. That is the beauty of Indian cricket, there are always replacements ready, and I think Prasidh Krishna could be at a turning point in his career. He has been in and out of the side, and he went wicketless in the first ODI and didnt play the second game either, Gavaskar told Jio Hotstar. In the third ODI, he bowled fuller lengths and made the ball work. He got the new ball, which is rare for him. In this game, with the new ball in hand, he used it well. He read the pitch well; there was carry and a bit of zip. That is what you need to do as a fast bowler. The former India captain said Prasidhs attacking mindset was evident throughout his opening spell, which dismantled Afghanistans top order. In his heart, he is an attacking bowler. Fast bowlers love to make batters uncomfortable, make them hop and weave. That is where they get their joy. Earlier, he was bowling too short and getting punished. But now he is pitching it up, getting movement, and taking wickets. That is the change that has made the difference, he added. In the third ODI, he bowled fuller lengths and made the ball work. He got the new ball, which is rare for him. In this game, with the new ball in hand, he used it well. He read the pitch well; there was carry and a bit of zip. That is what you need to do as a fast bowler.

The Great Disconnect: Degrees, Jobs and Higher Education in J&K
The crisis of higher education in Jammu and Kashmir is not a crisis of resources. It is a crisis of vision DR. SM MURTUZA BUKHARI Few regions in India can claim the scale of public investment that has gone into higher education. We have sprawling university campuses, hundreds of acres of prime land, impressive administrative structures, qualified faculty, substantial public funding, and thousands of educated minds occupying positions of academic leadership. Yet despite these advantages, one uncomfortable question continues to haunt the sector: Why are our graduates struggling to find jobs while employers struggle to find skilled graduates? The answer lies in a disconnect that has become impossible to ignorethe disconnect between degrees and the marketplace. Take any major institution in the Union Territory. The campuses are impressive, the infrastructure is substantial, and the academic credentials are unquestionable. Yet the true measure of an educational institution is not the size of its campus or the height of its buildings. The true measure is the success of its students after graduation. A university can possess magnificent infrastructure, but if its graduates remain disconnected from employment opportunities, entrepreneurship, and emerging industries, something fundamental is broken. The modern economy is evolving at an extraordinary speed. Artificial intelligence, data analytics, renewable energy, tourism management, logistics, healthcare technology, digital services, and entrepreneurship are reshaping labour markets. Employers increasingly seek adaptability, practical skills, and problem-solving abilities rather than degrees alone. Unfortunately, many institutions continue to produce graduates for an economy that no longer exists. Curricula move slowly. Industry participation remains limited. Internship opportunities are inadequate. Placement ecosystems remain weak. Academic departments often function in isolation from market realities. The result is predictable: students obtain degrees but not direction. What makes this challenge particularly frustrating is that it cannot be attributed to a shortage of intellectual capital. Jammu and Kashmir has scholars, researchers, administrators, policymakers, and educational leaders in abundance. Committees are formed, meetings are held, and reports are written. Yet meaningful transformation remains elusive. The challenge is not the absence of ideas. It is the absence of execution. The recent opening of the higher education sector to private universities presents an opportunity to change course. If implemented wisely, the new policy framework can give higher education in Jammu and Kashmir the wings it desperately needs. Private colleges and universities should not be trapped in the same maze of procedural controls that have constrained innovation for years. Institutions should be empowered to design industry-relevant programmes, collaborate directly with employers, launch skill-oriented courses, and create local employment ecosystems. Regulation must ensure quality and transparency, but it should not become a barrier to growth. Universities and regulatory agencies must evolve from inspectors into mentors and facilitators. At the same time, the transformation of higher education cannot be left to private institutions alone. Government Degree Colleges remain the backbone of the educational system and must become central to any reform agenda. The first step is to replace compliance-driven evaluation with outcome-driven assessment. Colleges should not primarily be judged by the number of files maintained, forms submitted, or inspections conducted. They should be evaluated on graduate employability, industry partnerships, innovation, entrepreneurship, research output, student progression, and community impact. Second, the culture of fault-finding must give way to a culture of collaboration. Too often, educational oversight revolves around identifying deficiencies on paper rather than helping institutions solve problems. Universities and regulators should act as partners in institutional development rather than merely custodians of compliance. Third, administrative processes must become simpler and faster. Institutions should have the flexibility to introduce market-responsive programmes, establish industry collaborations, and respond to emerging economic opportunities without years of procedural delays. There is an important lesson to be learned from educational hubs such as Bengaluru and Pune. Many successful colleges in these cities operate from relatively modest urban campuses where land availability is limited, and infrastructure may not always conform to the idealised vision found in regulatory manuals. Yet these institutions consistently attract students, maintain strong industry partnerships, and produce employable graduates. Their success is not built on land banks or architectural grandeur. It is built on outcomes. Students and parents rarely choose institutions because of the size of a playground or the dimensions of a building. They choose institutions because they offer quality education, industry exposure, internships, placements, and career opportunities. This is where Jammu and Kashmir must undertake honest introspection. For too long, higher education has often been measured through visible symbolsnew buildings, larger campuses, administrative expansion, and regulatory compliance. While these elements have value, they are not ends in themselves. Higher education is not a construction project. It is a human development project. The real purpose of a college is not to maintain files. It is to transform lives. Jammu and Kashmir does not need more regulations. It does not need more committees. It does not need a larger compliance machinery. It needs a new philosophy of higher educationone that rewards innovation, values employability, encourages autonomy, promotes collaboration, and measures success through student outcomes. Our institutions already possess the land. They already possess the buildings. They already possess the budgets. They already possess the brains. What they need now is a vision that connects education with opportunity. If we can shift our focus from paperwork to performance, from control to collaboration, and from infrastructure to outcomes, Jammu and Kashmir can transform its colleges and universities into engines of innovation, employment, and economic growth. The future of higher education will not be determined by the walls we build. It will be determined by the wings we give our students.
