Delhi IAS officer’s love for his dog pales against what this Japanese man did
The Indian Express broke the story of a Delhi IAS officer shunting athletes from practice at the Thyagaraj Stadium before 7 pm so that he could take his beloved pooch for a walk and a run. The report said the IAS officer forced officials to shut the stadium before the usual closing time.
Dogs are among the oldest companions of humankind. It is undeniable that a dog owner can go beyond limits to keep their pet happy and healthy. The Indian Express broke the story of a Delhi IAS officer shunting athletes from practice at the Thyagaraj Stadium before 7 pm so that he could take his beloved pooch for a walk and a run. The report said the IAS officer forced officials to shut the stadium before the usual closing time.
Delhi’s Principal Secretary (Revenue) Sanjeev Khirwar walks his dog at the stadium for about half an hour every day.
“We used to train till 8-8.30 pm under lights earlier. But now, we are asked to leave the ground by 7 pm so that the officer can walk his dog on the ground. Our training and practise routine has been disrupted,” The Indian Express quoted a coach.
After the Express exclusive, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal ordered all stadiums to remain open for players till 10 pm. Reports said Khirwar has refuted the allegation and said he sometimes takes his dog for a walk but does not disrupt the routine practice of the players. Remember this is a country where an individual medal at the Olympics, the Asian Games or the Commonwealth Games or at world championships means a whole lot of different things.
With dog owners ready to go the extra mile, even if it means interrupting sports practice, it sure does mean they love their canine friends a lot. After all, what’s cuter than a well-fed pedigreed dog?
But the love of a dog to such an extent that one turns himself into a dog? Yes, you read it right! A Japanese man has hogged headlines after he spent Rs 12 lakh to transform himself into a dog. Rich people and their uncommon desires!
The man, Toko, did not want a celebrity look but a dog look. Reportedly, this was his lifelong dream and went on to spend some $15,700 to look like a Border Collie. The costume was designed by professional agency Zeppet which shared the information on Twitter. In a tweet, Zeppet wrote that Toko went through several rounds of meetings, fittings, and revisions for the costume.

The tweet in Japanese after its translation to English reads, ‘Dog modeling suit. At the request of an individual, we made a dog modeling suit. Modeled after a collie dog, it reproduces the appearance of a real dog walking on four legs like a real dog.’
Check out the tweet here:
Remember the journalism school dictum, when a dog bites a man it isn’t news and it is 72 points bold headline material when a man bites a dog. It’s even bigger when a man turns dog!

Viral video: Humans of Bombay founder Karishma Mehta’s old video saying idea came out of blue goes viral after Humans of New York founder Brandon Stanton’s criticism
Speaking on the issue, Stanton took to X, formerly Twitter and criticised Mehta’s company HOB’s step of sending a legal notice for copyright infringement.
Humans of Bombay’s founder Karishma Mehta’s old video has been going viral on social media platforms. The incident started with Mehta’s company, Humans of Bombay, filed a lawsuit against Humans Of India over copyright infringement.
This case got the attention of the Humans of New York’s founder Brandon Stanton. Speaking on the issue, Stanton took to X, formerly Twitter and criticised Mehta’s company HOB’s step of sending a legal notice for copyright infringement.
HONY’s founder said he stayed quiet on the appropriation of my work because according to him HOB shares important stories, even if they’ve monetised far past anything I’d feel comfortable doing on HONY, Brandon Stanton added. But you can’t be suing people for what I’ve forgiven you for, the HONY founder said.
In this cold war, an old video of Karishma Mehta is going viral. In the video, she talks about the inception of HOB and how the idea came to her spontaneously. She expressed that it felt like the perfect fit for her and she decided to start it without any hesitation. Reflecting on the experience, she shares that starting something new during that time was an amazing experience.
Later in the video, she discusses her struggles and how the organisation didn’t generate any income for the first three years. She relied on pocket money from her parents.
Karishma is getting trolled on social media platforms after Humans of New York founder Brandon Stanton’s reaction and accusations of copying his idea.
Karishma Mehta founded Humans of Bombay, a storytelling platform in India similar to Humans of New York, as a Facebook page in 2014. It has gained a large following since then.
A lawsuit was recently filed by the platform against People of India for copyright infringement in the Delhi High Court, which Brandon was not happy about.

2nd ODI: India sets the target of 400 runs for Australia
Both KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan attacked to get the game off to an exciting start.
India wants to put Australia under strain as it chases down 400 runs in the second ODI in Mohali by taking some early wickets. Earlier, India had a strong start, thanks to hundreds runs partnership from Shreyas Iyer (105) and Shubman Gill (104) before Suryakumar Yadav showed off his finishing prowess with a 72 not out off 37. After being asked to bat first, India amassed a mammoth 399 for 5 in 50 overs.
Both KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan attacked to get the game off to an exciting start. Australian bowlers knocked out Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill, but then they were contended with Rahul and Kishan.
Individual centuries from Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, who both put up outstanding performances, furthered India’s overwhelming lead against Australia in the second ODI. After Sean Abbott removed Shreyas Iyer from the game, KL Rahul, the captain, is moving the game along with Shubman Gill.
Australia chose to bowl first after winning the toss. Team India got off to a sluggish start, and Ruturaj Gaikwad left early, but Shreyas Iyer eventually joined them. Shreyas Iyer was hitting Australian bowlers in all directions with Shubman Gill.
At the Holkar International Stadium in Indore, the Australian team will face the KL Rahul-led Indian team. With a victory in Indore, India will attempt to clinch the three-match series, while Australia will be looking for a way to salvage the match.
Since normal skipper Pat Cummins is taking a break, Steve Smith is leading Australia. In the meantime, Prasidh Krishna has taken the place of Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah in the starting lineup.
The low boundaries of the Holkar Stadium will suit the hitters in the second One-Day International between India and Australia, which is predicted to be a high-scoring contest. The last time India played at Indore was in January of this year, when the team was captained by Rohit Sharma, who scored a massive 385 runs together with opening partner Shubman Gill.
