One year out from the Games, Team China s preparations benefitting from nation s successful COVID-19 fight
One year away from the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics, Chinese athletes are well on track in their preparations for the event despite the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

A bittersweet experience : Mahindra team steps up to solve recurring oil leak issue in my XUV5OO
Hello everyone, I would like to share an experience with my Mahindra XUV5OO that can be best described as ‘Kuch Khatti, kuch meethi’!
The story begins by around May 2020. I was stuck at my workplace at Wayanad during Covid lockdown. So when things started opening up, decided to visit home as early as possible. My home is at Ernakulam which is about 250 kms away from my workplace. I drove home one weekend, spent some time with family, and was planning to leave after a couple of days. On the day of return, as I was about to get into the car, saw a small pool of oil lying beneath the hood area.

For the ever-decreasing members of the Hawke s Bay Rugby team that won the Ranfurly Shield from Waikato in 1966, it was a feeling of heartfelt dismay to hear of the death of Gerry Stone, who had played in that winning team.
Gerry was an egalitarian, charismatic, good guy, admired and respected by all his rugby associates and his veterinarian partners and clients. My involvement with Gerry went back to our secondary school days when he played for the Sacred Heart 1st XV and I for Hamilton Boy s High over a two-year period. He was outstanding in their victory in our first year as a fast, hard-tackling number eight off the lineout. We were successful the following season when we both captained our respective teams.
