Grealish in, Bernardo out - How Man City will line up for 2021-22 season

Image
Predicting a Pep Guardiola line-up can be a fool’s errand. The Manchester City coach is always liable to pull out a wildcard, such as in last season’s Champions League final when he moved Ilkay Gundogan into a holding midfield role, taking everyone by surprise. But with a football brain that never stops analysing and recalibrating what is happening on the pitch, coupled with a multitude of intelligent and flexible players, it can often be what gives City an extra edge. But, over the course of the campaign, Guardiola’s innovation can make the difference in breaking opponents down and be the reason why his side can go on the sort of winning streaks that blow away their rivals. Manchester United finished 14 points behind the champions last season and it would probably have been a tighter title race had Ole Gunnar Solskjaer found a way to beat relegated West Brom, Fulham and Sheffield United both home and away. Against stubborn sides, City have options to find a way through. Against to...

The painting of a woman breastfeeding her dad

Image
This painting of a young woman breastfeeding an old man in a prison cell was sold for 30 million Euro's. The painting may look perverse but the story behind is from historical records. The poor man was sentenced to death by starvation for stealing a loaf of bread during the reign of Louis XIV in fraud. The woman was his only daughter and the only visitor to his cell. She was allowed to visit him daily but was frisked thoroughly such that no food was taken in when after 4 months the man still survived with no weight loss, the authorities were perplexed and started spying on her in the cell and to their utter astonishment found her to breastfeed her father to the fullest sharing her baby's milk. The judges then realizing the compassion and love of the woman for her father, pardoned the father and set him free. This piece of history brings into focus how deep is a woman's compassion in our daily lives that men often tend to overlook

The Netflix show putting the spotlight on menopause

Image
  Popular culture is generally associated with youth. But a new Netflix series that has a 49-year-old female lead, fighting the ravages of middle age, is being hailed for putting the spotlight on women's lifelong battle with their own bodies. In one scene of Bombay Begums, Rani, played by Bollywood star-turned-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt, abruptly walks out of a board meeting. While her colleagues try to figure out why, the camera finds her in the bathroom, splashing cold water on her face, trying to dry her armpits under the hand dryer. "Most people said they thought she was having a heart-attack," says Namita Bhandare, gender editor for news website  Article 14 , "but I knew exactly what was happening. What was happening to Rani was menopause. Rani - literally queen in Hindi - is smart, intelligent and articulate and runs a large bank as its CEO. But when it comes to her own needs, she clams up, even goes into the denial mode when a younger female colleague offers empath...
