Happy 68th birthday on 11th July,2025 to writer Amitav Ghosh, who is known for using complex strategies in his works of fiction and non-fiction to often explore themes of history, culture, migration, and the environment,particularly in South East Asia.

Some of his most famous works include The Circle of Reason, The Shadow Lines, The Glass Palace, The Hungry Tide, and the Ibis trilogy.

Sometime back, I read his novel
'The Calcutta Chromosome' which is set in Calcutta and New York City.

The book is a medical thriller that dramatizes the adventures of people who are brought together by a mysterious turn of events and is loosely based on the life and times of Sir Ronald Ross, the Nobel Prize–winning scientist who achieved a breakthrough in malaria research in 1898.

Have you read any of his books?

The man who has reached the most semi-finals in Wimbledon history.

Novak Djokovic has beaten Flavio Cobolli to reach the semi-finals for the 14th time !

But he was given a scare by the punchy young Italian Flavio Cobolli, as well as a nasty fall on match point, before coming through a pulsating quarter-final to win 6-7 (8), 6-2, 7-5, 6-4.

Djokovic’s reward is a record 14th Wimbledon semi-final, one ahead of Roger Federer, and a meeting with the world No 1, Jannik Sinner, on Friday. It is a battle he is clearly relishing.
