  The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary benchmark Committee (MPC) voted to maintain the benchmark repo rate at 6.5 percent on Friday. In the context of liquidity in the system, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das said, “It’s a turning pitch and I would like to play my shots very carefully.”   Can he say the same for the global headwinds that are now likely to put upward pressure on inflation in India via the currency or imported inflation route.   After dealing with domestic inflation, the RBI is now up against a whole new set of global challenges. These are, in no particular order, the steady appreciation of the US dollar, rising 10-year bond yields, and foreign portfolio investment (FPI) outflows.   The MPC will need to balance the need to keep inflation under control with the need to support economic growth. Let’s take a look at the global headwinds:  Steady dollar appreciation             The US dollar index (USDX), a measure of the value of the US dollar relative to a basket of foreig

 Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 starting from the initial matches as England begins their title defense. The star all-rounder played a pivotal role in England's incredible victory in the final of the 2019 Cricket World Cup, but due to Kohli's injury issue, he won't feature in the match against New Zealand. Stokes has been struggling with a long-standing knee issue, and he had contemplated taking a break from ODIs to focus on his role as a specialist batsman for England's World Cup campaign in India. The 32-year-old has not played any competitive matches since his outstanding performance, scoring 182 runs in an ODI win against New Zealand on September 13. Stokes, who was the only member of England's World Cup team to participate in the practice match against Bangladesh, will not take the field as he is dealing with an injury sustained while firing a shotgun during a shop event. England's captain Jos Buttler stated after

  To attract viewers to watch a spy drama, which is one of the easiest genres, is also the most challenging. Filmmaker Vishal Bharadwaj, based on the book "Escape to Nowhere" by former RAW officer Amar Bhushan, attempts this delicate balance in his latest film, "Khufiya." The setting is undeniably nostalgic: it's the year 2004. Conspiracies and suspicions loom heavily in the air. Tense and bitter, sleep is scarce, and the senior intelligence operative Krishna Mehra, alias KM (Tabu), is summoned to lead a surveillance campaign - her junior colleague Ravi Mohan (Ali Fazal) is using the office copier more than the headquarters copier, to say the least. However, as the trailer suggests, Ravi Mohan is not leaking state secrets because he's a traitor - he's doing it because he's a "patriot." And his wife, the compassionate middle-class homemaker Charu (Vamika Gabbi), might be involved. But for KM, struggling with a recent sexual awakening and the

  On Tuesday, Ashwini Vishnaw, the minister of railways, posted new pictures of the 2024 concept train known as Vande Bharat (Sleeper Version) on social media. The Vande Bharat Sleeper Trains will essentially work on the armada of Indian Rail routes by empowering for the time being really long travel on these rapid trains.

Additionally, 400 Vande Bharat trains (Sleeper variant) will be built by Indian Railways utilizing three distinct technologies; bids have been requested to choose the right partners and production facilities. In addition to the aforementioned, 8000 Vande Bharat Coaches are proposed in the budget for 2023–2024. The native semi-light speed train centers around speed, wellbeing, and administratio

In the next 45 days, there will be 48 matches at 10 world-class venues. Starting with a repeat of the 2019 final, England will take on New Zealand in the opening match of the tournament at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. Celebrity photographer Rohan Shrestha captured the official image of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 prior to that game at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The 10 captains participated in an interactive panel discussion with host Ravi Shastri and England's winning captain, Eoin Morgan, where they discussed their outlooks and goals for the upcoming six weeks. Australia's captain:           I don't think there are numerous occasions all over the planet where you feel like around 50% of the world is tuning in, and it seems like that at whatever point India plays Pakistan On the planet Cup" said Australia's captain Pat Cummins. It's one of those situations when, while not being personally involved, you still feel compelled to watch and li

  New Delhi: A strong earthquake of a magnitude of 6.2 slammed Nepal this afternoon, leaving behind widespread traces of devastation. The terrible 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal's capital city, Kathmandu, in 2015 leaves lasting recollections of its aftermath. Several buildings in the western Nepal district of Bajhang, near Uttarakhand, suffered considerable damage. The impact of the earthquake, which occurred at a depth of just five kilometers, caused homes to collapse, portions of buildings to crumble, and many perilous cracks to develop. The severe tremors exposed the structural vulnerabilities of several buildings. Today, in western Nepal, two consecutive earthquakes measuring 5.3 and 6.3 in magnitude were recorded. There is no news of casualties so far. The Kathmandu Post said that at 2:40 PM, a first earthquake with a magnitude of 5.3 was registered, and at 3:06 PM, a second earthquake with a magnitude of 6.3 was recorded in the Bajhang district. The tremors of the

Napoli will host Real Madrid at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Tuesday, in what could be the most intriguing match of this week's UEFA Champions' League group stage. Azurri secured their first win against Braga, while a late goal decided Real's first match against Union Berlin. Both sides meet in Naples, where Real coach Carlo Ancelotti coached from 2018 to 2019. Napoli:            The home team is expected to play with a 4-3-3 formation, with Kostas Manolas and Matteo Politano on the wings, and Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen leading the attack. Brazilian defender Nathan should start in the center-back position alongside Léo Ostigard. Expected Napoli XI: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Ostigard, Nathan, Oliveira; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Politano, Osimhen, Kwiatkowski. Real Madrid:            Carlo Ancelotti's team should make no surprising changes against Napoli, hoping to start with Aurelien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga alongside Toni Kroos, while Rodrigo and Vini
