#FIFAWorldCup

The popularity of anything can be channeled for good. Sport is no exception. This men’s FIFA World Cup has seen political statements being made ranging from Iran to Palestine and beyond. Morocco has put the African continent on the world’s football map. Sporting spirit was on show on the field and off it. Among millions who watched the World Cup were 250,000 displaced, mostly from Somalia, at a refugee camp in Kenya. It is already Messi’s World Cup. The final could mark his moment of ultimate glory. Irrespective, the human race has emerged the winner thanks to the beautiful game.

#ShahrukhKhan #BesharamRang #BoycottPathan

It is ironic that shortly after Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan made measured remarks on challenges to creative freedom at the Kolkata Film Festival, social media has gone up in arms against Deepika Padukone-SRK starrer Pathan. The attendant attention has helped the trailer and the single soar. If the movie succeeds, everyone will remain silent. If it flops, the trolls will take credit for it. Attribution is impossible.

Seems there is no stopping for #BesharamRang. Instagram reels are flooded with it. Song has done the magic, created excitement among neutrals too. Now stage is set for next song and Trailer. #Pathaan#ShahRukhKhan pic.twitter.com/ARANIAMtNP

#IndVsBan

At lunch on day four of the ongoing, the Bangladesh cricket team is giving the Indian men’s team the jitters. Even if the players aren’t showing it, the nervous audience is palpitating on social media. Did we declare too early? Should we have followed on? That’s the beauty of cricket. Everyone and their cats are experts.

What's happening with our bowling? Are we planning to lose even after giving a target of 500+ runs #INDvsBAN . It would have been so much better if we enforced a follow on. Thoughts @bhogleharsha @sanjaymanjrekar pic.twitter.com/nSyrZNqU34

#ChristmasAds

Christmas is around the corner. And it brings with it the best of advertising from brands. No, for many of us, Christmas ads eat their Superbowl counterparts for breakfast. Maybe it’s just the spirit of the season.

毎年楽しみなJohn LewisのChristmas広告。今年はただ祝うとかそういうことじゃないメッセージが会って、いつもとは違うのだけど、また良いなぁ。

#MahsaAmini #IranRevolution

The protest continues and by now, it is clear that it deserves to be called a ‘revolution’. Lives continue to be lost as the world watches. Some silently, some raising voices in solidarity.

The IR can NOT defeat Iranian People. Our revolution wins. People are celebrating Sonya Sharifi's freedom.#SonyaSharifi #MahsaAmini#IranRevoIution pic.twitter.com/FYsAFYKnbL
