All England: From Indian contenders to live streaming guide, all you need to know about big-ticket badminton event

The All England Open starts on Tuesday with some of India’s top shuttlers like PV Sindhu, Lakshya Sen and the Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty pairing in action. With a rich history, the All England is one of the most prestigious events on the yearly badminton calendar. Here’s a look at what the draw looks like for Indians: Lakshya Sen: Though Sen will have father DK Sen and Korean Yoo Yong-Sung in his coaching corner guiding him through a relatively simple draw, the word out of Bengaluru is that women’s head coach Indonesian Irwansyah is likely to offer key inputs to the Sen campaign, having been based out of the Padukone academy these past months. Sen’s path is littered with extremely beatable names – Koki Watanabe, Jonatan Christie, Li Shifeng/HS Prannoy and Shi Yuqi in the t...

All England: Indian badminton needs a deep run to shake off recent sense of despair

Two All England finals featuring Indians, and no titles, in the last 15 years – considered high-achieving for the sport – will go down as a serious inexplicable anomaly for badminton.One can spin it whichever way one likes – cynically, by saying that the All England is nothing special anymore, though nobody else in the badminton world believes that. Or that none of the Indians could quite time their peaks or work monkishly towards it like Prakash Padukone or Pullela Gopichand, did. But as yet another edition kicks off at Birmingham, it will remain a gaping hole in career summaries and a large unticked box for some of the biggest names in Indian badminton. It’s nearing a quarter of a century since Gopichand won the last one in 2001, when almost a fourth of present-day India wasn’t even born...

While the Men in Blue have been one of the most consistent sides in the 50-over format, failing to go the distance in an ICC event had taken the sheen off it.

Teacher morale in the US takes an upward turn: 5 factors paycheck that can keep their passion alive – The Times of India

Representational (AI generated) For decades educators in the “land of opportunities” have been enveloped in a downward trend of dwindling morale, with teachers being increasingly burdened by low salaries, insufficient resources, and administrative ordeals. COVID-19 further fanned the flames intensifying the crisis, pushing educators teetering on the brink of exhaustion and disillusionment.Yet, amid the prevailing gloom, a surprising and unprecedented shift has surfaced- teacher morale, which had dipped to a staggering -13 in 2023, has now risen to +18 in the 2024-25 academic year according to the EdWeek Research Center’s Teacher Morale Index.While the rise in morale may appear to be a promising trend, education advocates forewarn that it may not be sustainable without catering to the under...

US hurtling towards AI job boom, but an acute talent vacuum may throw a wrench in the progress – The Times of India

Since artificial intelligence has knocked on the doors, it has fanned the flames of debate: Whether AI takes away jobs or creates more? While the speculations circling around artificial intelligence positioning jobs at the chopping block cannot be completely shrugged off, it has, however, fuelled the rise of numerous job opportunities. A recent survey by Bain & Company, an American management consultancy company has added not a glimmer but a cauldron of hope to the situation. The data projects a surge of over 1.3 million AI-related job openings in the next two years. However, the optimism reflected in the report collides with a stark reality — the talent reservoir may fall dangerously short, potentially halting the very progress AI promises to bring.The paradox is glaring — on one hand...

Trump signs executive order limiting Public Service Loan Forgiveness eligibility: Will it affect student loan borrowers? – The Times of India

President Donald Trump holds a signed executive order as he speaks in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. (Pool via AP) President Trump has signed an executive order significantly restricting eligibility for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. The order, signed late last week, specifically targets nonprofit workers associated with causes the administration deems "anti-American," including immigration advocacy, gender-affirming care, and other politically contentious activities.

Five Things People Born on the 17th Should Just Accept – The Times of India

Being born on the 17th is like being cast in a high-budget, slow-burn drama with unexpected plot twists and a strong-willed protagonist. There's power, persistence, and just a touch of stubbornness. Instead of fighting fate, here are five things to embrace:1. The Built-In Boss Mentality Leadership isn't optional—it's the default setting. Whether it's managing a team, a project, or an argument about the best movie of all time (it's The Godfather—accept it), control is inevitable. Might as well own it.2. The Overachiever Syndrome Relaxation is a myth. The to-do list regenerates like a villain in a horror movie. Ambition fuels everything, and success is expected, not celebrated. Achievements that would make others throw a party? Just another Tuesday.3. The Selective Social Battery Networking?...
