The clock showed just over five seconds left when Germanyâs Lukas Windfeder drag-flicked a penalty corner towards the Indian goal. It was the bronze medal match at Tokyo 2020 and India was leading 5-4 towards the end of a thrilling encounter. The German had already scored seven goals in Tokyo, including one earlier in the match. But, at the crucial moment, he could not get past goalkeeper P.R. Sreejesh, âThe Wall of Indian Hockeyâ. India had its first Olympic hockey medal since 1980.

Upgrade your jeans
If you donât live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
