Cupid's caveat: What happens when a great love meets an insurmountable challenge?
Two people in love deserve to be together. Most of us believe that. To give up a love that works — in every way except logistically — is an excruciating thing. Above, a still from Wong Kar-Wai's tragic In the Mood for Love (2000) It is a belief reinforced by lived experience, by movies, songs and fairy tales. Love conquers all, we say; even though we know deep down that isn't true. I believe there's a reason we evolved this lie: it soothes some of our deepest fears. A lot may go wrong in this life, but someone out there will still love us. It helps us to think that, in the end, that might be all that matters. The problem is, some people buy into this idea so completely, they can lose years before they realise that even the truest love can be derailed by something as simple as logistics. I am currently working with two such sets of clients. One is a couple in their mid-30s, let's call them Kritika and Neil. The two doctors met six years ago, at work. Their long hours, sometimes languid and sometimes intense, led to friendship, which blossomed into love. They faced none of the usual barriers. Their love was true. They were committed and faithful. Both families welcomed the other into their lives. The problems began a few years in, when Kritika kept putting off a formal engagement. For five years, she has cited one career milestone after another, Neil says: a residency position, the completion of residency, advanced accreditation. He was content to wait, since they were both committed to marrying someday. A year ago, he finally gave up. He was now at the age where he risked sacrificing the life and family he wanted. Kritika, for her part, said she still wasn't ready to put the rest of her life on hold to meet these goals. They are now trying to work out whether there is a future for them. Both worry they won't find a love like theirs again. Yet Neil says he wishes he had advocated for himself sooner. Whatever they do now, at least one of them stands to lose. Elsewhere, a 45-year-old woman, let's call her Shirley, is trying to figure out how to build a life with the 47-year-old she believes is her soulmate. She and Sid were college sweethearts who went their separate ways but never really got over each other. They were both in reasonably pleasant marriages that ended in divorce about five years ago. They then reconnected at a college reunion. It turned out they had both spent years wondering what might have been. When they realised they could be together again, they were elated. Except, they aren't really back together. They live in different parts of the country and only manage to see each other about once a month. Shirley is willing to move to the city where Sid and his children live, but he is concerned this will devastate her career (she works in manufacturing) and has been discouraging her from giving up the job she loves. She is wounded and confused. She sees how much he loves her; how can he then be content with the arrangement they currently have? It hurts me each time I have to say it, but eventually I find myself explaining that some equations simply don't add up. What often follows is the heartbreaking question: How am I supposed to give this up, when I know I won't find anything like it again? There isn't an answer to that. To give up a love that works — in every way except logistically — is an excruciating thing to do. I try to remind my clients that the choice isn't really between this love and a lesser one. It is between this love and a life that actually works. Building a life with the person you love is certainly the goal. But if it isn't the life you want, does it still count?

Special to be on set where women aren't just in front of the camera: Kritika on Anusha Rizvi's film
Special to be on set where women aren't just in front of the camera: Kritika on Anusha Rizvi's filmActress Kritika Kamra has wrapped up shooting for Anusha Rizvi's upcoming yet-to-be-titled film in Delhi, and she's calling the experience 'pretty special' for all the right reasons. What sets this project apart, according to Kritika, is the strong presence of women both in front of and behind the camera. Sharing her thoughts, Kritika said, 'It's pretty special to find yourself on a set where women aren't just in front of the camera, but are leading from every corner—direction, production, costumes, and more. Working with Anusha Rizvi was truly a gift.' The film brings together a talented female cast including Juhi Babbar and Shreya Dhanwanthary, along with several other seasoned women actors. Kritika, who has often collaborated with remarkable female talent throughout her career, emphasized the impact of such a dynamic environment. 'With this film, Anusha brings such a strong vision and creates a truly open space for collaboration. There's a different kind of energy when powerful women come together—it's nurturing, inspiring, and deeply enriching,' she added. 'We weren't just telling a story; we were sharing lived experiences, supporting each other, and lifting each other up.' The film, extensively shot in Delhi, is now in post-production. Apart from this project, Kritika will next be seen in the much-anticipated web series Matka King, starring Vijay Varma. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Nagraj Manjule (Sairat, Fandry), the series delves into the gritty world of 1960s Mumbai, tracing the rise of an enterprising cotton trader who creates a new gambling phenomenon called 'Matka'. Matka King also features Sai Tamhankar, Gulshan Grover, and Siddharth Jadhav, and is written by Abhay Koranne and Manjule. The show is being produced under Roy Kapur Films by Siddharth Roy Kapur, Nagraj Manjule, Gargi Kulkarni, Ashish Aryan, and Ashwini Sidwani.

Dissent and equipment misuse: Ravichandran Ashwin heavily fined for outburst over umpiring call; viral moment sparks debate
NEW DELHI: , captain of the Dindigul Dragons and former India all-rounder, has been fined 30 percent of his match fee for showing dissent during a Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025 game against IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans on Sunday (June 8) in Coimbatore. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. The incident occurred in the fifth over of the Dindigul innings when Ashwin was adjudged LBW by on-field umpire Kritika while attempting a sweep off R Sai Kishore. The ball appeared to pitch outside leg stump, and with no review remaining — both had already been used for wide-ball calls — Ashwin was visibly upset. He remonstrated with the umpire, pointing toward the pitch and arguing his case before walking off in frustration. Poll Do you think Ravichandran Ashwin's fine was justified? Yes, he showed dissent. No, the umpire made a mistake. Partially, he could have reacted better. Ashwin's reaction included hitting his pads with the bat and later throwing his gloves in the dugout, behavior that led to a disciplinary hearing post-match. "Ashwin was fined 10 percent for showing dissent towards the umpires and 20 percent for misuse of equipment. He accepted the sanctions," a TNPL official told Cricbuzz. WATCH: The moment went viral online, with many fans siding with Ashwin after replay footage suggested the delivery had indeed pitched outside leg stump. Despite his quick-fire 18 off 11 balls, Ashwin's dismissal at 39/1 triggered a Dindigul collapse. They were bowled out for just 93 in 16.2 overs. Tiruppur Tamizhans made light work of the chase, cruising to a nine-wicket victory with 49 balls remaining, thanks to a dominant unbeaten 65 off 39 balls from Tushar Raheja. Esakkimuthu starred with the ball, picking up 4/26.
