Manu Bhaker - the beacon of hope for women in the gendered narrative of Indian sports
Manu Bhaker - the beacon of hope for women in the gendered narrative of Indian sports When a woman empowers herself in the endeavours of what she is excellent at, the ripple effect of her success serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration to millions of other women who aspire to accomplish their dreams. The road to success in sports for a woman in India is filled with narratives of disparity, prejudice, harassment and societal shunning. While many fall prey to injustice in their odyssey towards their goals, I find ecstasy and bliss in celebrating Manu Bhaker’s journey to secure a bronze medal in the Olympics. In this article, I examine the current status of Indian women in sports through the lens of the legendary victory of Manu Bhaker.

The Things We Learn From TV Programs
Introduction I watch a lot of television and some of my favourite series are ones that drop in interesting facts as part of the stories that they tell. One of my favourites is "Elementary" with Lucy Liu and Johnny Lee Miller. I watched the whole series and then restarted from the beginning and still thoroughly enjoy it and I may rewatch it when I am finished.

The Football Player and the Cheerleader
It's raining outside at about 4 p.m. on a Monday. I've composed and recorded two songs on my Youtube channel and I just ate a bologna sandwich for an early dinner. I think I'll have ice-cream for desert later when I watch the next episode of House of the Dragon. For now, I'm just sitting here feeling a bit bored, all by myself, and I'm thinking about Tom Brady and that book "50 Shades of Grey". Tom married Gisele. Gisele didn't love Tom even with all his fame and money. Gisele left Tom to face the backlash of the end of his career and the end of his marriage all by himself. Poor Tom.

Mr. Robert Oppenheimer
Robert Oppenheimer, born into a wealthy Jewish family in New York City, was a prominent physicist. His father, a successful executive in America, had left Germany, while his mother was a painter. Oppenheimer's early interest in minerals and sciences led him to attend prestigious schools and pursue physics at Cambridge and Gottingen after graduating from Harvard. His doctoral work and the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation showcased his potential as a theoretical physicist. Despite being a chain smoker and making poor judgments, Oppenheimer's interest in Eastern philosophy and mysticism, as well as his involvement in the Manhattan Project, shaped his complex and influential figure in the field of physics. His personal experiences with the Nazis and support for German Jews fleeing persecution, along with his crucial role as the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II, demonstrated his significant impact on the development of the nuclear bomb.
