India sent 168 athletes to Aichi-Nagoya, barely half the squad that went to Hangzhou — and returned with more medals than ever before: 114, including 30 gold, and a best-ever fourth place. Three world records fell, Sumit Antil led an Indian podium sweep, and Mona Agarwal won a world-record gold with a rented rifle. This was not an incremental step. It was a statement.
The most-shared technology video of the month is real: at a Texas test site, Tesla's new Roadster barrel-rolled through the air on SpaceX thrusters while Elon Musk declared "Flying cars are real." But almost everything the viral clips imply around that moment — a car you can buy, a machine that flies like an aircraft, a Musk-owned flying car company — falls apart when you check the record.
Ten days before the US midterm elections, Donald Trump shared a Georgia rally stage with Audi's CEO to unveil the German brand's first American factory: $4.2 billion, 4,500 jobs, 200,000 cars a year.

For 20 minutes in Paris, PV Sindhu did what almost nobody has done all year: she took a game off An Se Young. She even led the decider 8-5.

When a Delhi commitment cost Sanju Samson the first-day-first-show of Rajinikanth's Jailer 2, the India wicketkeeper did what only a true fan would: he hired the entire cinema. Then he went back to work and celebrated a fifty with the film's anthem ringing in his ears.
A deep depression over the Bay of Bengal is on a three-day path to becoming a very severe cyclonic storm. The IMD expects landfall between Bapatla and Visakhapatnam on the forenoon of October 28 — and both Andhra Pradesh and Odisha have already moved into emergency mode.
The ACC has confirmed the Rising Stars Asia Cup 2026 schedule, and the fixture everyone wanted is locked in: India A vs Pakistan A on November 22 in Doha. Pakistan A won this tournament last year — including an eight-wicket rout of India A. The rematch writes itself.
India's largest-ever IPO has set a record no issue on the planet has managed before: more than one crore applications. The Jio Platforms offering drew nearly seven times more bids than shares on offer — and it is a follow-up story to the IPO we covered when it opened.
PHP — the language behind WordPress and much of the web — has two critical holes that can let an attacker execute code on a server without any login. Emergency patches are out, and the PHP team says there are no complete workarounds: updating is the only safe choice.
