The harder the competition, the more fun it is: Promising shooter Suruchi
The fact that Suruchi was up against some giants of the sport, some who have countless years experience, is what makes her golden run even more rewarding. Jiang Ranxin (2020 Olympic gold medallist and multiple record holder from China), Oh Ye-jin (reigning Olympic champ from South Korea), Camille Jedrzejewski (Paris Games silver medallist from France), veteran Olena Dmytrivna Kostevych (former Olympic champion) and senior compatriot Manu Bhaker of course, were some of the big names that Suruchi was facing then. The BA first-year student said that she relishes such competitions. "Competition is fun, it's good to be part of matches that involve big names. The harder the competition, the more fun it is," she said. "I generally don't think about anything before the matches. I don't think about how big a competition will be entering the match because everyone is a strong shooter in their own rights. That is the reason I don't feel pressure from anyone." Suruchi is currently looking to sharpen her skills at the Guru Dronacharya Shooting Academy under the guidance of her coach Suresh Singh. It's a process of one step at a time for the promising shooter. "I don't want to look too far ahead but I would like to take one match at a time, that would be my next goal. The trials will be coming soon and then there will be international competition, I'll set my goals accordingly," she said. It was her father Inder Singh who encouraged her to take up the sport and he has ensured that she gets regular training by being beside her. "My father has always guided me. He always used to accompany me for training, give me that support. He still does that. The coach, meanwhile, gave me certain suggestions that I worked upon. I just try to follow whatever he says." The promise is undeniable. Her hunger is also visible. Two key ingredients that could help her fetch more medals down the road.

American woman leaves ‘average' life in US for extraordinary journey in India, calls it life-changing
An American woman has captured attention after sharing her bold decision to leave behind what she described as a comfortable but 'average' life in the United States to pursue a more meaningful and adventurous existence in India. Kristen Fischer, who moved with her family four years ago, has been documenting her journey on Instagram, where her videos have resonated with thousands. An American woman chose India for a better life and business, saying the shift was both financially wise and emotionally rewarding.(Instagram/kristenfischer3) (Also read: US woman shares why Indian milk stands out compared to milk back in America. Video) In one widely-shared video, Fischer shared a heartfelt reflection on the life-altering move. 'What would you choose? I knew I had control of which direction to take my life. I could choose an average life in the USA, or I could choose to do something bold and extraordinary,' she wrote in the caption. She added, 'We moved our family to India 4 years ago and haven't regretted it a bit. In these past 4 years I have met some amazing people, seen some incredible places, had some awesome food, and changed my heart forever. India has changed my life forever and I will never be the same. You only get one life, how will you live it?' Watch the clip here: Business in dollars, life in rupees In another video, Fischer offered a glimpse into the professional side of their life in India. She and her husband run a web development agency catering primarily to Western clients. According to Fischer, the decision to base their operations in India made perfect economic sense. 'Why do we choose to live in India and run our business operations here? It just makes sense this way,' she explained. 'Earn an income in US dollars and spend that income in Indian rupees. We run a web development agency that gets majority western clients, earning in dollars. Yet we live in India where the cost of living is much lower than in the USA, allowing us to spend our dollars here in rupees.' She added, 'It is simply easier for someone to come from the West and move to a place like India because our money goes further here and it is a much easier environment to succeed in business. Plus, this way we get to live in a country that we love. Seems like a win-win to me.' Take a look here at the video: Internet applauds her leap of faith The comments on her videos reflect admiration and curiosity. 'This is so inspiring – you're truly living your best life,' wrote one user. Another commented, 'India has that effect on people. It's chaotic, but it teaches you what matters.' (Also read: 'More money in the US, but…': American woman's advice to people who think USA is better than India) A different viewer said, 'You made the right choice – life's too short to be average.' Someone else wrote, 'Watching this makes me want to reconsider everything I've been doing.' One follower added, 'The way you talk about India is beautiful – it makes me feel proud.' Another summed up the general mood by saying, 'Bold move, but clearly the right one for your family. Respect.'

Infosys' Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune centres top April on-site attendance numbers
Infosys Ltd's development centres in Bengaluru, Chennai and Pune were its top three offices in on-site attendance in April, according to an internal memo to employees. The Bengaluru-headquartered software service exporter shared the April in-office attendance data at a recent all-hands meeting with its India employees. In-person attendance at Infosys' Nagpur, Indore and Gurgaon offices was the lowest, according to the data seen by ET. The move is seen as Infosys' effort to get more people back to its campuses. Infosys' Bengaluru, Chennai and Pune centres registered in-office attendance of 57%, 52% and 50%, respectively. Nagpur, Indore and Gurgaon followed with 46%, 41% and 32%, in that order. Bengaluru-headquartered Infosys has around 323,500 employees, with the majority based in India. It has been following the return-to-office policy since November 20, 2023, requiring employees to work from office for at least 10 days in a month. Live Events The company has made it compulsory for employees at job level (JL) 5 and below to punch in at the office 10 days a month. If employees fail to do so, 'system intervention' gets triggered, which means the employees concerned will have to get their unofficial absence approved by their managers, else those days get marked as 'leave'. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories Employees at JL5 include team leaders while those below include software engineers, senior engineers, system engineers and consultants. JL6 and above include managers, senior managers, delivery managers and senior delivery managers, but exclude vice presidents. Tata Consultancy Services ( TCS ), India's biggest IT company and Infosys' rival, had introduced a five-day work-from-office policy in October 2023, which was linked to employees' variable pay. Wipro , Infosys' cross-city rival, introduced a hybrid work policy that required employees to work from the office for at least three days a week. For more than a year now, many top software services exporters have tightened their work-from-home facilities in a bid to boost office attendance. This was done in the wake of not just the rise in cyberattacks and moonlighting, but also to encourage the benefits of working in a shared physical space. In April last year, K Krithivasan, chief executive of TCS, had highlighted that return to the workplace created 'shared experiences, nurturing greater learning, collaboration and camaraderie'. At its quarterly results conference, the management said that almost 65% of TCS' associates were then attending office for 3-5 days a week, within a quarter of the policy's implementation. TCS and Infosys did not respond to requests for comment. Other top-tier Indian IT firms, including HCLTech, Wipro, Tech Mahindra and LTIMindtree , also did not respond. Salil Parekh-led Infosys further broke down the data as per segments and job levels. In terms of verticals, engineering IoT (internet of things) topped with 71% across job levels, followed by engineering medical with 55%, IoT with 53%, and engineering automobile with 30%. Employees at JL6 across verticals recorded attendance between 62% and 73%. The next best performers were at JL5. In its latest annual report, Infosys said its hybrid work model, built around people and their comfort, offers the flexibility of working from home and office, at locations closest to their homes. 'As part of this strategy, we have set up offices in Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, Noida, Hubballi, Indore, Navi Mumbai, Nagpur and Coimbatore in India over the last few years,' the report said.
