Tudor impressed by `improved` Spurs despite Champions League exit

Igor Tudor claimed Tottenham`s spirited Champions League exit against Atletico Madrid showed they have improved enough to win their fight for Premier League survival. Tudor`s side beat Atletico 3-2 in the last-16 second leg in north London on Wednesday but it wasn`t enough to advance as they bowed out 7-5 on aggregate. After losing their first four matches since interim boss Tudor replaced the sacked Thomas Frank, Tottenham have finally showed signs of life just as their season threatened to dissolve into humiliation. Tottenham are only one point above the Premier League relegation zone but their gritty 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Sunday and the defiant victory against Atletico offered a glimmer of hope in a bleak campaign. 

“The sensations are mixed. You don`t like to not get through but it was a very good performance. It was a beautiful sensation on the pitch with the fans who were really there together with the team from the first moment,” Tudor said. “Congratulations to the players. It is positive, commitment, lot of running, lots of good things.

“The energy was really nice from the first moment. The players believed and you could see the performance at this moment is very important. In the last two games we have improved.” Tottenham`s European exit was hardly surprising after their dismal 5-2 loss in the first leg in Madrid last week. But the performance against Atletico was their most impressive for months and it comes at the perfect time with relegation rivals Nottingham Forest arriving for a crucial clash on Sunday. Fourth-bottom Forest are one point behind Tottenham but Tudor insists the result will not define their season. “It is an important game on Sunday but it will not decide anything yet, it will be decided over the last three games,” he said. 

“Today we had 11 players and on the bench (Lucas) Bergvall, (Destiny) Udogie and Conor (Gallagher), the doctors said they could only play 20 minutes. “That makes the value of this performance even better. It was nice to take the victory and important for morale.” Atletico will face Spanish rivals Barcelona in the last eight after surviving a tense evening at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Diego Simeone`s side never looked comfortable defending the three-goal first leg lead and will have to improve significantly to beat La Liga leaders Barca, who thrashed Newcastle 7-2 on Wednesday. 

Atletico striker Julian Alvarez, who scored his side`s first goal, conceded it wasn`t their best performance. “We knew it wasn`t going to be easy, but we had a few chances to win it as well. The important thing is that we`re through to the quarters, we`re among the best eight, so now it`s time to enjoy that,” he said. “We knew we were coming in with a three-goal advantage, which let us stay a bit calmer, but we also knew it was going to be a tough match. “We didn`t end up winning but the important thing was we went through. We have to think about improving and keep focusing on what`s coming.”

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ trailer SHATTERS records; Tom Holland and Zendaya starrer crosses 500 million views in under 24 hours

The first trailer for Tom Holland‘s ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ has made history, becoming the fastest to cross the 500 million views mark within 24 hours of release.Within hours of its release, early industry estimates indicate that the film’s trailer has crossed the record views previously held by the game ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’. As per reports, GTA set a new benchmark when its trailer amassed 475 million views in 24 hours. However, Holland’s ‘Spider-Man’ has reportedly crossed those numbers and shot past the 500 million mark within the same timeframe.Official figures are expected to be confirmed by Sony on Thursday.This comes following the massive success of ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ which crossed USD 1 billion at the box office, becoming the highest grossing ‘Spider-Man’ film. Interestingly, these numbers are also remarkable as the film’s trailer was leaked not once, but twice over the past months. Although the official trailer launch gave fans a 4K look at the superhero in action, along with his new costume, introduction of new characters, villains and more, the clip offered little new content than what was previously leaked online in highly pixilated clips. Early this year, a recorded version of the trailer was leaked online on fan handles. The clip not only gave fans a glimpse of the action, but also glimpses of Sadie Sink‘s character, Mark Ruffalo‘s the Hulk, Jon Bernthal‘s Punisher and the villainous group The Hand. While at first, the clip was brushed aside as an AI creation, Marvel and Sony’s move to take down the videos online, fuelled speculation that the trailer was authentic. ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ marks a significant shift in Peter Parker’s journey. Set four years after the events of ‘No Way Home’, the film follows Peter as an adult living in isolation, having erased himself from everyone’s memories, including those of the Avengers and ones he loved.The official synopsis reads “Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he’s devoted himself entirely to protecting his city – a full-time Spider-Man – but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.”The trailer also teased a darker twist to the story with Peter rumoured to become ‘Man-Spider’ as he also faces an internal battle with himself. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Tom Holland returns as Spider-Man alongside Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Mando and Tramell Tillman in pivotal roles.The film will release in theatres on 31st July in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam across all premium formats.

Oscars 2025: Sean Penn skipped the awards to meet Prez Zelenskyy

On March 15, Sean Penn was missing from the 98th Academy Awards, held at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles. Penn, who bagged the Best Supporting Actor award for One Battle After Another, skipped the huge prestige to catch up with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Ukraine. 

Posting a picture of the meet-up on X, the Ukrainian leader wrote, “Sean, thanks to you, we know what a true friend of Ukraine is. You have stood with Ukraine since the first day of the full-scale war. This is still true today. And we know that you will continue to stand with our country and our people.”

Have you heard? Shah Rukh Khan in talks for old-school romantic drama after King

Poster boy of romance returns

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is weighing his options for his next project even as he nears completion of ‘King’. Industry sources say he has been offered a big-budget, old-school romantic drama that has “struck a chord”, alongside a mainstream double-role film with Farah Khan. According to sources, “It’s an age-appropriate love story with emotional depth, positioning him as the quintessential poster boy of romance. He is excited, and will decide on the film by June.” After a string of action films, SRK is keen to pivot.

On his next: King
‘King’ stars Shah Rukh Khan with daughter Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone, directed by Siddharth Anand. The action drama is expected to release this December.

‘Quiet surrender’

Bhumi Pednekkar and Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati

Bhumi Pednekkar recently visited Parmarth Niketan Ashram, in Rishikesh, sharing glimpses of her spiritual retreat on social media. The actor took a dip in the Ganga and attended the evening aarti, calling the experience a “quiet surrender”. Reflecting on the visit, she wrote, “Not all journeys take you somewhere new, some bring you back to yourself. It gently asks you to let go.”

As Cuba struggles with power cuts, how is the island holding out?


Cuba’s grid operator has restored intermittent power after the national electric grid collapsed on 16 March. It comes amid a US-imposed oil blockade that has crippled the island’s already struggling fuel, food, and medicine shortages.

Several small groups of residents across Havana have in recent days banged pots in protest against extended blackouts. The series of widespread outages that last for hours or days sparked a rare violent protest in northern Cuba on 14 March, where a building was set ablaze.

President Donald Trump has in recent months hinted at a possible takeover of the island and during a White House event in early March said the island was “ready to fall”.

The BBC’s Cuba correspondent Will Grant reports from the island.


Altermagnetism for storage, and DailyObjects’ unimpressive Loft| Business News

Altermagnetism for storage, and DailyObjects’ unimpressive Loft| Business News


Opening thoughts. Meta Platforms Inc. is shutting down a feature that it says never truly caught on. End-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages (or as the cool kids call it, DMs) will no longer be supported after 8 May.

The DailyObjects Loft is a glorified power strip, at best.
The DailyObjects Loft is a glorified power strip, at best.

Mind you, unlike WhatsApp, end-to-end encryption was never a default setting on Instagram DMs—except some users in some geographies had the ability to opt-in. If you have enabled this on some chats and they are about to be impacted, Meta says “you will see instructions on how you can download any media or messages you may want to keep”.

EDITOR’S MARGIN: Finding a Solution

There is a serious shortage of hard drives, solid-state drives and memory, and executives tell me time and again that they expect this trajectory to continue through 2026. Coincidentally, I’ve written about the WD_Black P10 Game Drive (this is an HDD) as well as the Sandisk Extreme Fit SSD, which is incredibly interesting. Nevertheless, back to the point.

A team of researchers from the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), the University of Tokyo, Kyoto Institute of Technology, and Tohoku University have had a new magnetic material breakthrough, which can indirectly lead to the end of the current memory and storage crisis. They say, thin films of ruthenium dioxide (RuO₂) display altermagnetism.

Magnetic materials are critical for memory devices. Ferromagnets make it easy to write data, even though they are sensitive to magnetic fields. Antiferromagnets are said to be more stable against such stray interference, as well as temperature changes. Something for tech companies to investigate further, one would guess.

The research team fabricated RuO₂ thin films with a single crystallographic orientation on sapphire substrates. By carefully selecting the substrate and fine-tuning growth conditions, the researchers controlled how the atomic lattice aligned during film formation. This control was essential for obtaining consistent and interpretable magnetic behaviour, crucial for storage and memory applications. “These results show that controlling crystallographic orientation is key to revealing and utilising altermagnetism in RuO₂ thin films,” they say.

SECOND THOUGHTS: DailyObjects’ not so lofty Loft

I almost always have opinions about charging accessories—essential devices, after all, considering how our phones, tablets and laptops have evolved.

A few days ago, came across something called the DailyObjects Loft charging station. It is priced at a whopping ₹4,999 (as with most DO things, grossly overpriced in my humble opinion) and the big pitch is the Instagram influencer friendly colour options—there’s an orange and a green in there as well. For this price, I’d obviously be analysing utility closely.

It looks good, has a good layout balancing Type-D sockets plus USB-C ports, and the braided cable is a nice touch for longevity. The company states the USB-C is rated at 65W in total (45W for USB-C1 and 20W for USB-C2 when used simultaneously)— though I cannot be too sure which is which because the ports don’t seem marked. Since this is GaN5, you would have the technological improvements of better heat resistance and charging voltage consistency.

And that’s where I have a problem. The Type-D ports on this charging station are a limitation—it’s a glorified power strip. And that is exactly my point—power strips have the universal multi-plug receptacle. Many of our tech accessories use Type A/B flat pin plugs, and for those, the Loft will require you to use a three-way plug. Since much of DailyObjects’ focus is on the show of it all, a three-way will ruin that look. In my book, the StuffCool ChargeCube Mini 65W may be a less beautiful thing in comparison but will prove to be a much better product overall.

Chennai: Rajasthan Royals have banked on young talent for success — Vaibhav Sooryavanshi being at the top of the list. And one of the backroom boys who has helped the franchise shape its youth structure is performance coach Siddhartha Lahiri, who oversees the RR academies across the globe as well. Reflecting on Sooryavanshi’s rapid rise, Lahiri told TOI: “He’s got immense calibre for sure, he’s a freak, a 14-year-old with that level of potential. He’s in that phase of his life where he loves to breathe cricket and he loves to bat. From a cricketing perspective, we can only hope he goes on to do things that feel unreal to watch.”

The coach emphasised that the franchise aims to nurture not just players but quality coaches as well. Their academies have already produced international names such as Ollie Pope, Shoaib Bashir and Phil Salt, while closer to home, the focus remains on developing talents like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel. The departure of Sanju Samson was a blow to the Royals, and Lahiri admitted the team would feel his absence. “He is one of the best white-ball cricketers and a player of immense calibre. Of course, he’ll be missed. I’ve been privileged to see him play some amazing innings for us… People are talking about his World Cup success in the last three games, but we in Royals were used to it. It was a mutual decision to part ways, and I wish him every success.” Backing Parag’s leadership credentials, despite a mixed season last year, Lahiri expressed strong confidence in the youngster. “He is outstanding. He has led his domestic side; he plays his cricket in Assam, which means he knows what it means to be an underdog. He is extremely well-respected within the Royals and shares a great rapport with head coach Kumar Sangakkara and the team. I believe Parag has the quality to become an astute leader,” he said. Lahiri also noted that Parag’s progress in the white-ball format has been significant. “If not for a minor shoulder injury, he could well have been part of the T20 World Cup squad. He is an unbelievable white-ball player, and with the fearless brand of cricket India is playing, he fits right in,” he added.

Still using a Full HD monitor? This 4K upgrade might change your entire setup| Technology News


That moment when your screen starts feeling cramped while multitasking or editing is hard to ignore. Whether you are working with spreadsheets, timelines or creative tools, limited screen space can slow things down more than expected.

These 4k monitors are best for work and gaming

For the past seven years, I have tracked consumer tech through constant shifts in hardware, platforms, and the way people actually use devices. Covering everything from budget gear to flagship hardware, I focus on what readers need to know, not on buzzwords or launch cycle hype. My expertise spans gaming laptops and chairs, high-performance PCs, gaming monitors, printers, smartwatches, earphones, headphones, Bluetooth speakers, tablets, and more, with a particular emphasis on how these products hold up in daily use. Reviews, explainers, buying guides, and news pieces all share the same goal: giving readers enough detail to make confident decisions without wading through fluff. Away from deadlines, I spend a lot of time gaming and watching films and anime, which naturally filters back into the work. Performance, comfort, display quality, and sound are judged the way players and viewers experience them, not just by lab numbers, which keeps my coverage grounded in real scenarios rather than just benchmarks.

The actor heaped praise on Ranveer for his standout performance, while also lauding director Aditya. He described the spy thriller as a patriotic spectacle, backed by technical brilliance and stellar performances.

Allu Arjun reviews Dhurandhar 2


On Wednesday, Allu Arjun took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a review after watching the second part of Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller. He described the film as an Indian story that comes with “international swag”.

“Just Watched #Dhurandhar2
Patriotism with swag… A film that will make every patriot proud… Many clap-trapping moments… BLAST! Congratulations to the entire team.
Fine performances by @ActorMadhavangaru & all actors. Technical brilliance,” the actor wrote.

The Pushpa star went on to give a huge shout-out to actor Ranveer Singh, and director Aditya, writing, “So proud to have a brilliant and a versatile actor like my brother @RanveerOfficial in our country. RVS on fire… @AdityaDharFilms garu hit the ball out of the park. So happy to have brilliant filmmakers like him in our country. Show Rocker. An Indian story… International swag.”

R Madhavan was left overwhelmed after coming across the glowing review, and he took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his gratitude and respond warmly to the praise.

He responded, “I’m so humbled touched and hyper motivated. This means so much coming from you, my dear brother I have watched all your films with complete awe of your abilities. And so it’s a fantastic feeling to know how mutual it is. God bless you .. and this being the first review online is super super special to me at a pivotal point in my career in life.”

About Dhurandhar 2

The sequel, titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, was released worldwide on Thursday, March 19. The paid previews were held on March 18.

Apart from Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar 2 also brings back R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi. The first Dhurandhar earned ₹1300 crore worldwide and is still playing in theatres three months after its December release.

As per Hindustan Times review, Dhurandhar: The Revenge might not have “nuance and detailing as sharp as part one, but this sequel works due to Ranveer Singh’s performance.” The film traces the journey of Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Ranveer Singh) and his motivation to become a spy agent Hamza Ali Mazari.
