"Quartered in snow, silent to remain. When the bugle calls, they shall rise and march again."

Once again #Thane seems to be choked up by countless trucks and heavy vehicles of all kinds. A good morning for everyone but @ThaneCityPolice who once again seem clueless what’s happening in their own city.

There’s a video from this morning of a crane trying to bring a truck back on the road after it drove over divider. It instead topples it sideways on the road. No one knows what’s happening here and no one is clearly bothered. #GhodbunderRoad #Thane #ThaneTraffic #ThaneWaterCrisis #MMRDA #Mumbai #ReshapingMMR #Maharashtra #ReimaginingMMR #MumbaiInMinutes #MumbaiInfrastructure #UrbanTransformation #RebootingMumbai #ReshapingMMR #InfrastructureLeadership #Kasarvadavali @MMRDAOfficial @TMCaTweetAway @MahaDGIPR @ThaneCityPolice

Commuters and residents continue to suffer more and more every single day yet there is no one with courage or compassion to resolve the issues. Not a single trip to work and back is without extreme stress and anxiety. #Thane #ThaneTraffic #ThaneWaterCrisis #MMRDA #Mumbai #ReshapingMMR #Maharashtra #ReimaginingMMR #MumbaiInMinutes #MumbaiInfrastructure #UrbanTransformation #RebootingMumbai #ReshapingMMR #InfrastructureLeadership #Kasarvadavali @MMRDAOfficial @TMCaTweetAway @MahaDGIPR @ThaneCityPolice

Argentina’s behavioral crisis in the World Cup final has brought to light traits many of us in Latin America have internalized and that we need to come to terms with. In many countries, emotional self-control and the ability to admit mistakes are seen as virtues. A behavioral problem in parts of Latin America is that there are social circles where the opposite is often celebrated. This is the idea that someone who remains in control of their emotions is a coward or, depending on the situation, a traitor. If someone offends you, your family, your team, the reaction that is celebrated in these circles is not restraint but flipping the table. The more berserk you go, the more you show that you care. That is a harmful value to hold, and also, one that many of us once shared. I certainly had it internalized when I left Chile 20+ years ago. In fact, I’ve spent much of my adult life trying to unlearn what I grew up believing was the socially acceptable behavior. The second trait is an unwillingness to admit mistakes. You can always find an excuse, move the goalposts, or, once again, start a fight instead of publicly accepting that you’ve made a mistake. Admitting fault is a sign of weakness. Defending a losing position is a symbol of courage or, in sports, a test of loyalty. Together, these two traits are behavioral dynamite. People explode because they cannot admit fault, and double down. Instead of learning from their mistakes, they become prisoners of them. I grew up watching football with my father. When I was 10 or so, I was learning what was right and wrong from the way he interpreted the game. This included behavior both on and off the field. Only later in life did I realize that every penalty he called for, or contested, had little to do with the play itself. Whether a call was fair depended entirely on which team benefited. He was happy if his team received a nonexistent penalty or an opposing player got an undeserved red card. These traits are among the things that pushed me away from the continent. They are certainly not exclusive to Latin America or the Southern Cone. I’ve encountered them in people all over the world. In an important sense, these are behaviors that all of us exhibit as children. What strikes me as unusual from the place I am from is having been part of social circles where these behaviors were not seen as flaws of character but as virtues to be admired, celebrated, and enforced. These excessive forms of pride are not conducive to learning. They make it psychologically difficult to update one’s beliefs, accept responsibility, or improve. Although they become particularly visible in sports, they are by no means confined to them. Something I am proud to have learned is to apologize quickly and often. Not because it is too difficult, but because it was like learning a new language at old age. That doesn’t mean becoming a pushover. But I’ve learned that a man who never apologizes cannot be a man of integrity, because we all make mistakes. Argentina’s behavior on and off the field during the World Cup final was, to me, a particularly blatant expression of values that many people continue to defend. In some circles, these attitudes have become intertwined with ideas of national identity and loyalty. Yet they are shackles that ultimately limit our development, not because they make us lose a football match, but because they make it harder for us to learn from our mistakes. The right thing to do now is the least likely: offer an honest apology. If my interpretation is even partially correct, we are more likely to see the opposite. Never back down. Never apologize. Never control your emotions. There is such a thing as having the wrong values. I hope that one day we can do better.

STORY | Till I am playing, there will always be noise: Rohit Sharma Acutely aware but dismissive of the "noise" around his future in international cricket, veteran Indian batting star Rohit Sharma says he knows that speculation won't stop till he is playing, but he would rather focus on scoring runs instead of fighting it. With a facile 138 at the Lord's on Sunday, Rohit could not prevent India's 27-run loss and didn't look his usual, possibly trying to mask the insult and hurt he must have felt. "The noise, since I made my debut, was there. Till I am going to stay here, it is always going to be there, so it doesn't really matter too much," the 39-year-old, who became the oldest Indian centurion and first from the country to score a ton in 50-over cricket, told BCCI.TV. "What really matters is what I do on the field, trying and contributing to the success of the team. That's where all my focus is. Let the noise be there; if there is no noise, there is no fun. My job is inside; their job is outside. That's how I look at it. READ: ptinews.com/story/sports/t…

Argentina are the first side in World Cup history to fail to have a shot in 90 minutes. 108 minutes in, they still don't have a shot on goal. Spain have 20, creating 1.94 xG & 4 big chances created. Make no mistake with the 1-0 score, they've been flogged in this Final. No show.

0 - Argentina are the first ever team to fail to have a single shot in 90 minutes in a FIFA World Cup final. Blanks.

India gave away 26 extras while England conceded 10. India lost by 27 runs. #INDvENG #INDvsENG

In recent times, no Indian legend has played with so much of muck thrown at him. Not played with a head coach who doesn't want him in the set-up (Dont believe those Balcony pics. Even Dada-Greg Chappell played snooker organised by late Amitabh Chaudhary). Salute @ImRo45. Ego of champion

'Get in there' hundred for Rohit Sharma.

PTI Exclusive: BCCI rubbishes speculation about Rohit Sharma, says he will continue to play after Lords ODI.

I didn’t think that India would dominate the Lord’s Test Match as they have done. Think of the context. These things should be celebrated, without a caveat.

If you are in #Thane or #Mumbai and planning to commute to/via #GhodbunderRoad, please drop your plan immediately. The Ghodbunder Road is totally choked due to a gazillionth effort of constructing broken patches. The local police had spread around the information in nick of time, yet this mess. How, only they know.

The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF/@WTTGlobal) is planning to stage the inaugural edition of the Doubles World Cup outside #China, said the organisation’s president Petra Sorling here on Friday. The inaugural edition of the ITTF Doubles World Cup, slated to be played in 2027 ahead of the Los Angeles #Olympics Games, will comprise men’s, women’s and mixed doubles events. #TableTennis #India #UTT A @PTI_News exclusive: theprint.in/sport/with-eur…

The #MPCB told the #BombayHighCourt that it has issued a warning notice to @MEIL_Group over alleged noise pollution from the #Thane-#Borivali twin tunnel project's RMC plant. The Board also submitted its inspection report recommending additional dust-control measures as the PIL seeking relocation of the facility remains pending. #Thane #GhodbunderRoad #Kasarvadavali freepressjournal.in/mumbai/mpcb-is…

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia to PTI: "The BCCI is currently observing the performance of the Indian T20 team which has not been up to the mark in the ongoing series against England. However this is not something abnormal and can happen in international cricket. We consider it as a purely bad phase. Once the ODI series gets over on July 19 and the team comes back, we will have a review meeting with core members of the team to discuss what went wrong in England. Since there is a ODI series, we are hoping that team will be back in good form," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told PTI from sidelines of ICC Annual conference in Edinburgh. Saikia also stressed that the review meeting will be "strictly about the performance of the team and how course correction can be done with regards to shortfalls. Nothing else will be discussed." #INDvIRE @bcci @lonsaikia

Once again shocked to the core, feeling the fright and the scenes witnessed here at this spot today afternoon. I have requested the @ThaneCityPolice about this one spot countless times, that they need to regulate the transit hours of heavy vehicles, yet no one acts. The traffic signal here doesn’t work most of the times, and even if it does, people put their lives at great risk because @MMRDAOfficial has opted against constructing a FOB and hardly one or two vehicles stop. Tragic, so, so, so unfortunate. Yet no one will ever take responsibility or accountability of this, I don’t expect they will. Because no one took the responsibility of many lives lost at this very spot so many times in last two years. #Thane #ThaneTraffic #ThaneWaterCrisis #MMRDA #Mumbai #ReshapingMMR #Maharashtra #ReimaginingMMR #MumbaiInMinutes #MumbaiInfrastructure #UrbanTransformation #RebootingMumbai #ReshapingMMR #InfrastructureLeadership #Kasarvadavali @nareshmhaske @PratapSarnaik @TMCaTweetAway @MahaDGIPR

It was extremely windy last night and given the way it's been raining along with the dark and gloom, the administration in #Thane should have declared an off day for schools and colleges for today.

England crush India by 125 runs in 2nd T20I, the world champions are discovering that international cricket is not such an easy game that you chuck out key players and expect it won't have any impact #EngvsInd
