Indian Entrepreneur To Leave Canada Over Bureaucratic Troubles, Post Viral

An Indian-origin entrepreneur running an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Foodtech platform in Canada has gone viral after announcing his plans to leave the country. Maulik Pandya, the CEO and founder of Eatance, took to LinkedIn to announce his decision after enduring a bureaucratic nightmare where he faced a "new trap from the Canadian system" almost every day. "We are leaving Canada. We made this decision through tears. We are dissolving our beautiful nest we built with love as family of four with two wonderful daughters," wrote Pandya. "We did not come to this lightly. We have spent many sleepless nights, cried and watched our mental health and physical health fade," he added. Pandya said his family's journey in Canada was cut short owing to the bureaucratic hurdles that led to issues regarding her daughter's education and the company's future. Pandya said he kept losing money while paying taxes, creating jobs and contributing to th...

4th Test: Jadeja, Sundar Tons Guide India To Sensational Draw Against England

India's enthralling series in England is going all the way to the finish after the resilient tourists drew the fourth Test at Old Trafford on Sunday. Record-breaking skipper Shubman Gill scored his fourth century of the campaign before Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar also made hundreds. England remain 2-1 up in this five-match contest ahead of a quick turnaround to Thursday's start of an Oval finale, where an India victory in south London would ensure a share of the spoils for Gill's men.

A draw looked anything but likely when India collapsed to 0-2 in the opening over of their second innings on Saturday as Chris Woakes struck with successive deliveries after England had piled up a mammoth 669 in their first innings.

But Gill, in on a hat-trick, went on to score 103 in a marathon innings of some seven hours as he turned the tide during a stand of 188 with KL Rahul that ended before lunch on Sunday's last day.

Jadeja, reprieved first ball when Joe Root dropped a tough slip chance, went on to make 107 not out, his first century of the series following four fifties, with fellow spin-bowling all-rounder Sundar unbeaten on 101 -- his maiden Test hundred.

India have now scored 11 individual hundreds this series, the most by any visiting side in England, and such was their eventual dominance Sunday they had no need to worry about whether to send Rishabh Pant out to bat following the severe foot injury he suffered in the first innings.

Sundar and Jadeja's unbroken partnership of 203 on a largely docile pitch frustrated a toiling and increasingly fractious England, despite the best efforts of inspirational captain Ben Stokes.

Personal triumph for Stokes

This match was a personal triumph for Stokes as he became just the fourth England cricketer to score a hundred and take five wickets in the same Test, his 141 on Saturday following a haul of 5-72 in India's first-innings 358.

But it appeared to come at some cost with Stokes, who suffered from cramp while batting, not bowling at all on Saturday and repeatedly clutching the top of his leg.

And his efforts to defy history by winning the toss and bowling proved unsuccessful. 

No team winning the toss and bowling first has ever won a Test at Old Trafford and this match was only the second draw of Stokes' reign following a rain-affected Ashes clash at the Manchester ground two years ago. 

India resumed on 174-2 with KL Rahul 87 not out and Gill 78 not out

Stokes, already the leading bowler on either side this series with 16 wickets at 24.75, brought himself on at the start of Sunday's play and almost had Gill caught for 81 by a leaping Ollie Pope at short cover.

But Stokes did have obdurate opener Rahul, in sight of his third century of the series, plumb lbw for 90 to a nip-back ball that kept a touch low.

Stokes bowled an unchanged spell of 1-12 in eight overs until Woakes took the ball -- although that did not stop Gill completing a 228-ball century.

Gill was out in surprisingly careless fashion when caught behind flicking at a Jofra Archer ball outside off stump to end a marathon innings of some seven hours, with India now 222-4.

The 25-year-old Gill, in his first campaign as captain, has now scored 722 runs this series -- a record for an India batsman in a series against England, surpassing team-mate Yashasvi Jaiswal's 712 in 2023/34

Sundar and Jadeja, after his first ball reprieve, were largely untroubled.

And even when Stokes put himself through the pain barrier again, Sundar pulled the England skipper for a six and a four off successive balls to complete a 117-ball fifty.

Sunday's closing stages simply became a question of whether either Sundar or Jadeja would reach a hundred after Gill declined to take a draw immediately at the start of the last hour.

The match ended in slightly farcical circumstances when batsman Harry Brook came on to bowl.

Jadeja smashed a woeful Brook delivery for six to complete a 182-ball century before Gill's two off the Yorkshireman took him to a 206-ball hundred.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
