Small Moves, Big Shifts: How I Got Unstuck Without Quitting Everything
Subscribe to our FREE There used to be a time when 'playing it safe' meant doing all the right things. Get the degree, land the job, stay on track. Follow the rules, stay in your lane, and eventually you'll arrive at 'success.' But here's the twist: in today's world, playing it safe might just be the biggest risk of all. The truth is, life isn't a straight line anymore. Industries are shifting, norms are evolving, and more people are realising that the old playbook doesn't always lead to fulfilment. In fact, sometimes it leads to the exact opposite: burnout, boredom, and the creeping feeling that you're living someone else's version of your life. Choosing Different – One Small Step at a Time (freepik) Choosing differently doesn't mean quitting your job and moving to a jungle commune (unless you want to). Sometimes, it just means listening to that tiny voice that says, 'Maybe there's more to this.' For me, I enrolled in a part-time Masters in film – something I had put off for years. I finally tried straightening my hair after thinking about it forever. Not exactly groundbreaking, but it was a shift. And it was personal. (Ayush Kumar via Unsplash) And I'm not alone. A friend of mine left her steady job as a dentist to teach Bharatnatyam because she wanted to reconnect with something that felt true to her. People like Josh Teng, who left the finance track to teach coding and launch a It's Not About Being Loud. It's About Being Real. (jcomp/freepik) You don't have to shout to stand out. You just have to show up in a way that feels true to you. That could be choosing a new path, or even just showing up a little differently than you did yesterday. That quiet courage counts more than you know. And that's exactly what drew me to Connor's. The Stout That Shakes Things Up Connor's MY Connor's MY The first time someone handed me a Connor's and said, 'You have to shake it first,' I thought they were joking. Who shakes a beer? But Connor's isn't your typical stout. It's smooth, mellow, with unique coffee notes. And the Shake Ritual is part of what makes it stand out. It's different – not because it's trying to be, but because it is . Connor's didn't follow the stout rulebook. It challenged expectations: no bitterness, no heavy aftertaste, no 'you need to acquire the taste' speech. Just bold flavour, easy-drinking, and made for everyone. And that's the kind of energy I'm trying to channel too. Here's to Doing Things Differently (Connor's MY) We're in a time where more Malaysians are redefining success in their own way. Starting a side hustle, switching fields, expressing themselves more honestly, even just saying 'no' when they used to say 'yes.' Connor's gets that. Because they did the same. They created a stout that didn't look or taste like any other. They created a ritual and built something different, not for the sake of being different, but because they believed it could be better. So if you're taking that next step – whether it's big, small, or somewhere in between – know this: you're not alone. You've got this. And Connor's is here for it. *If you drink, don't drive.

Hours after grand father's death, Ayush Kumar displays grit to inspire Bihar to historic Sepak Takraw silver
Patna (Bihar) [India], May 8 (ANI): It was a day of mixed emotions for Ayush Kumar, who showcased remarkable grit and determination as part of the Bihar team that underlined its rising stature in Sepak Takraw by clinching the men's team silver after going down 1-2 to powerhouse Manipur in a tantalising final of the Khelo India Youth Games 2025. Manipur girls ensured their dominance continued as they joined their State-mates on top of the podium after beating Kerala 2-0 in the summit clash. The final matches of the Sepak Takraw event, making its debut in the Khelo India Youth Games 2025 Bihar, were played in front of a packed crowd, reflecting the State's growing passion for the sport, which is now among its 14 priority disciplines. Ayush, a member of the third Regu in the team competition, competed despite suffering a personal loss earlier in the day with the passing of his 78-year-old grandfather. Standing firm in the face of adversity, he chose to continue until the very end of the competition. On the sidelines, his 19-year-old sister Khusbu, a Sepak Takraw player herself, tried to contain her grief while cheering for her younger brother. With teary eyes and a phone in hand to stay updated on the rituals back home, she managed to stay strong, often stepping aside to cry in private, just to ensure Ayush remained focused on the game. 'He (grandfather) was unwell for some time, was in the hospital for the last few days. We were expecting him to get better, but he passed away today. He was really close to both of us and today is probably the biggest day in Ayush's career so far,' said Khusbu. Born to an auto-driver from the city, Ayush and his sister started their journey in the sport only four years back but hope that the KIYG medal will not only inspire him but other budding athletes to take up Sepak Takraw as a career. Despite the personal setback, the 14-year-old Ayush Kumar managed to keep his emotions under check on the court, as the Bihar team came up with impressive performances throughout, to eventually finish a close second. The men's final witnessed a tantalising contest with the pendulum swinging till the final set of the third Regu. After Manipur comfortably took the first Regu, Bihar bounced back in style to win the second and take the contest to the decider. In the final Regu, Manipur came back from a 1-0 deficit to take the next two sets and eventually the top spot on the podium. In contrast, the women's final witnessed a one-sided contest with Manipur girls dominating the court throughout. Earlier, Manipur sailed into the final after getting the better of Andhra Pradesh 2-0 in the first semifinal while Kerala defeated Haryana by a similar margin to advance to the gold medal contest. Results: Men's team final: Manipur beat Bihar 2-1 (8-15, 15-8, 15-9) (11-15, 12-15, 15-11) (8-15, 8-15). Bronze medals: Andhra Pradesh and Delhi. Women's team final: Manipur beat Kerala 2-0 (15-4, 15-7) 15-7, 15-9); Bronze medals: Nagaland and Delhi. (ANI)

Extortion, gang rape accused injured in 2 police encounters in Gopalganj
Patna: Four people, accused of extortion and gang rape, were injured in two separate encounters in Gopalganj district in the early hours of Tuesday. The first encounter took place in Savreji village of Mirganj police station area, while the second occurred in Kuchaykot area. All injured are undergoing treatment at sadar hospital. In the Mirganj encounter, Ayush Kumar, accused of demanding Rs 5 lakh extortion from a jeweller, was shot in the leg, while two of his companions managed to flee. Ayush, a resident of Savreji village, was admitted to sadar hospital under police custody. He had demanded the extortion from jeweller Praveen Soni, who runs a shop in Mirganj. Police received information on Monday night that the criminals came to collect the first instalment of Rs 1 lakh extortion, on the basis of which the siege was laid. In the second incident, police conducted raids at Sasamusa area around 3.30am to catch the accused, absconding in a case of abduction and gang rape of a 17-year-old girl who had come from Uttar Pradesh for the treatment of her father. Seeing the police, the accused started firing. In retaliation, the police also fired shots, injuring Kariman Kumar, Abhishek Kumar and Sonu Kumar. According to the police, they had already arrested Abhishek, but during the raid, he snatched their weapon and tried to flee. But the police managed to nab him. A country-made pistol, revolver and cartridges were recovered from the spot.
