Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone has had quite the eventful few days. Most recently, the Texas-born artist performed the halftime show at the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day game against the Kansas City Chiefs, delivering what was described as an impressive performance. During the show, he paid heartfelt tribute to recently deceased former Cowboys player Marshawn Kneeland by wearing a pin with his number on his jacket. After the game wrapped up, Malone stayed behind for hours at AT&T Stadium, taking off his shoes to feel the turf barefoot while tossing a football around the empty field—a rare moment of leisure for someone of his stature.Off the field, Malone was spotted out shopping in Salt Lake City over the weekend with a mystery woman and two bodyguards at a local Trader Joe's. According to eyewitness reports, the couple was matching in hoodies, browsed the store for a while, and even shared a few kisses during their shopping trip. This sighting comes months after Malone's breakup with ex Christy Lee earlier this year, and notably, he was also spotted walking through Paris with an unidentified woman back in September.On the professional front, Malone is gearing up for a major milestone. He's set to headline his first-ever headline concert in India on December eighth in Guwahati, a significant moment for both the artist and India's live entertainment sector. The concert at Khanapara Veterinary College Ground is being organized by BookMyShow Live in partnership with the Government of Assam and is expected to draw considerable interest from audiences across the Northeast region.Malone also has additional tour dates lined up, including a performance scheduled for December fifth in Abu Dhabi at Etihad Park, followed by more shows in December and continuing into 2026.Away from the spotlight, Malone continues to prioritize fatherhood. His fourteen-month-old daughter has recently started running and taking steps, which the artist described as transformative for his perspective on life. He's mentioned that becoming a father has made him the happiest he's been in his entire life and has fundamentally changed how he approaches his career and personal wellbeing. According to interviews, his daughter loves his song Chemical and does a cute shoulder dance whenever she hears it.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Indië se hoofafrigter, Gautam Gambhir, sê die finale besluit oor sy termyn berus by die Indiese Krieketbeheerraad. Suid-Afrika het gister die tweede toets met 408 lopies gewen in Indië se grootste lopie-nederlaag, en ʼn geskiedkundige 2-0-reeksoorwinning in Guwahati behaal. Dis Indië se tweede tuisreeks-nederlaag in twee jaar nadat hulle verlede jaar teen Nieu-Seeland ook die knie moes buig. Gambhir sê die besluite wat tydens die reeks geneem is, was in die span se beste belang:
At least 36 dead as fire engulfs a huge block of residential towers in Hong Kong; A social media ban under challenge in Australia's High Court; And in cricket, South Africa sweeps India in the second test in Guwahati.
Send us a textHello and welcome everyone to another episode of The Cricket Slouch.In today's episode we shall try and dissect the heavy thrashings suffered by England and India in their respective test matches, and to help unpack the pain and trauma, I am joined by Sandeep and Shounak.We try to make sense of what happened in the blink of an eye at Perth, and then the shock of India's abject capitulation vs South Africa at Guwahati en route to another series loss at home within 13 months.Finally we celebrate the 100-test career of Mushfiqur Rahim and what a magnificent servant he has been for Bangladesh cricket. This time we refrain from making any bold predictions about the next Ashes match, having been thoroughly humbled by the outcome of the Ind-SA series. So, sit back and enjoy the discussion !

In this episode of the show, Baldy and Stu look back at the first Test between India and South Africa, which saw the hosts take a 1-0 series lead at Eden Gardens. A quickfire Test but plenty of talking points as seam dominated day 1 and then spin took centre stage on days 2 and 3. Jasprit Bumrah's remarkable skills were on display yet again, Simon Harmer continued his good form and Ravindra Jadeja tore through South Africa's batting lineup in the third innings as the game sped to a conclusion. It all looked to be on track for an Indian win - until it wasn't. We talk about the quality bowling on show, what made batting so tough, the impact of the injuries to Shubman Gill and Kagiso Rabada, and whether India can bounce back at Guwahati. Plus plenty more!

The World Test Champions, despite looking down and out at stumps on Day 2, managed to use their spinners to great effect and win by 30 runs. They discuss the pitch conditions and whether India went too far in favour of spin, Shubman's Gill's injury and what it means for the approach to Guwahati where India will be desperate to tie up the series.

Despite her widespread appeal, Taylor Swift still draws some polarising opinions, especially since the release of her brand new album on October 3rd, The Life of a Showgirl. This outing was a departure from her previous era, as she would call it, The Tortured Poets Department, which saw her lament about her inner life for 31 songs. Showgirl was branded as Swift's foray into “life behind the curtains”, coming off a huge career-high, the Eras Tour, the highest-grossing tour of all time, and a three-and-a-half-hour-long celebration of Swift's catalogue. In this weekender episode, we explore the mixed reactions to Life of a Showgirl and Swift's appeal in non-Western countries, such as India. Guest: Ms. Rituparna Pathgiri, an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati. She is an expert in digital sociology, pedagogy, culture, gender, and media. Host: Nitika Francis Edited by Jude Francis Weston Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kaptein Laura Wolvaardt het 'n meesterklas in kolfwerk aangebied toe Suid-Afrika Engeland met 125 lopies in Guwahati geklop het om hul eerste eendag-eindstryd in die Vroue-wêreldbeker te haal. Wolvaardt het 169 lopies gemoker, die hoogste telling ooit van 'n Suid-Afrikaner by 'n Wêreldbeker, sodat die Proteas 'n indrukwekkende 319 vir sewe lopies kon aanteken. In antwoord het Marizanne Kapp vyf paaltjies geneem toe Engeland vir 194 uitgeboul is. Suid-Afrika sal teen Australië of Indië in Sondag se eindstryd te staan kom.

South Africa's unbeaten run at the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup has come to an end with a crushing seven-wicket defeat to Australia in a top-of-the-table match in Indore, India. The unbeaten Aussies who decided to bowl first, skittled the Proteas for a paltry 97 inside 25 overs The result means Australia will play fourth placed India in Thursday's second semifinal, while South Africa and England will clash in Guwahati in the first semifinal on Wednesday.

On this week's Stumped, with Alison Mitchell, Matt Clinch and Charu Sharma, we take a closer look at how climate change affects cricket. England batter Maia Bouchier tells us about the physical and mental effects of extreme heat; that's after she contributed to a recent report which warns that players at all levels of the game across the globe are being placed at increasing risk due to playing in extreme conditions. They discuss the latest from the Women's World Cup and ask what can be done to mitigate the weather after a number of games were washed out in Sri Lanka.We hear from UP Warriorz and India player Saima Thakor and find out how getting off the bus at the wrong stop helped catapult her into an international cricket career.Plus, the team chat about their favourite pieces of cricket memorabilia after Lord's announced that it was making sections of the outfield available for sale ahead of ground renovations.Photo: New Zealand's Brooke Halliday cools off herself during a drinks break in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 match between Bangladesh and New Zealand at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on October 10, 2025.

A pragmatic approach has helped earn the White Ferns their first victory at the Cricket World Cup. New Zealand have beaten Bangladesh by 100 runs at Guwahati. Captain Sophie Devine was happy with the 227 for 9 they posted batting first, where she made 63 and Brooke Halliday hit 69. Halliday told Piney it felt like their performance was a lot fuller in this game than it was in the previous two. “It was, yeah, very satisfying, and I think there's a lot of happy people in our group at the moment.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The White Ferns are dancing with the danger zone at the Cricket World Cup. Following back to back losses to kick off their campaign, the Kiwis face a crucial match against Bangledesh's army of spinners in Guwahati tonight. Sports reporter Jonty Dine spoke to Lisa Owen.
The Women's Cricket World Cup is being held in India for the fourth time, the three previous editions have all been won by Australia. The best performance from India on home soil was a semi-final back in 1997. Their best result anywhere was a runner-up position in England 20 years later. When the India men won the World Cup for the first time in 1983 it was a cultural turning point, igniting a national passion for cricket and instilling belief in the country's potential. So, Prakash Wakankar, Alison Mitchell and former India international Samantha Lobatto investigate whether a win for this women's team could do the same.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Markets Resilient, But Oil's the Wildcard Despite the chaos, Indian markets are holding their ground. Since the Israel-Iran conflict flared up, Nifty and Sensex have climbed 1.59%, even as Brent crude rose 2.19% to $76.57/barrel. But the calm may not last. Alok Agarwal of Alchemy Capital warns of a crude spike beyond $100/barrel — a red flag for India, which imports over 80% of its oil. Aniruddha Sarkar of Quest adds that sectors like paints, aviation, and OMCs could feel the squeeze if oil keeps climbing. However, a non-escalatory response from Iran could trigger a market rally, says IIFL's Nirmal Jain. Strait of Hormuz: The Oil Chokepoint Iran's top security council may close the Strait of Hormuz — a move that would threaten 20% of the world's oil flow. Revolutionary Guards commander Esmail Kosari has confirmed it's “on the agenda.” Since June 13, when Israel struck Iran, Brent has already surged over 10%. Maersk says its ships still sail, but they're monitoring risk closely. Flashbacks to the 1980s “Tanker Wars” and fears of a new US naval buildup are surfacing. If Hormuz shuts down, prices could jump to $120–130 — or even $400 in a worst-case scenario. India's Oil Strategy Shift Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri says India has significantly reduced its dependence on Hormuz. In June 2025, India's Russian oil imports are expected to hit a two-year high of 2–2.2 million barrels/day — more than from Saudi or Iraq. US oil imports are also up nearly 57%. With reserves in place and alternative shipping routes via the Suez, Cape of Good Hope, and Pacific, India is positioning itself to weather supply shocks. Still, if Iran closes Hormuz, freight costs and volatility could rise fast. Trump's Big Strike — and the Fallout Trump called Iran's nuclear program “completely obliterated” after US strikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. But Pentagon officials are backpedaling, confirming only “severe damage.” Satellite images show Fordow took direct hits, but not total destruction. Worse, Israeli intel reveals Iran removed 400 kg of uranium days before the attack. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi confirmed the fuel is now unaccounted for — a worrying development. The world waits for Iran's next move. Mayday Over Bengaluru Just days after a deadly Air India crash, an IndiGo flight from Guwahati to Chennai issued a Mayday call over low fuel. The pilot aborted landing in Chennai and diverted to Bengaluru, where the plane landed safely. No injuries were reported, but the scare — coupled with the earlier Air India tragedy — has sparked renewed scrutiny over aviation safety. IndiGo has grounded both pilots. Markets Hold Steady as Oil Threat Looms Amid US-Iran Escalation Nifty's immediate support lies at 24,850; resistance around 25,250, says SBI's Sudeep Shah. The India VIX is down 9% since June 13, suggesting subdued volatility — for now. Experts advise staggered investments as markets remain sensitive to geopolitical headlines. Experts say India is better placed than ever to absorb shocks. “We're in a stronger position than previous crises,” said Kenneth Andrade of Old Bridge Capital. Asian markets closed strong on Friday, signaling hope — but all eyes remain on Iran's response. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Well, RCB are on top of the IPL points table. Yes, after the first round of matches, the men from Bengaluru are sitting pretty. They delivered a stellar performance against defending champions KKR in the IPL 2025 opener. Early signs are promising for the perennial underachievers. Could 18 finally be their lucky number? Meanwhile, CSK, DC, and SRH kicked off their campaigns with strong performances, but Rajasthan Royals have been dismal in their first two outings. They hardly resemble a side coached by Rahul Dravid. KKR, on the other hand, bounced back emphatically with a dominant win in Guwahati after their opening-day defeat to RCB. What's with teams opting for secondary home venues? Does it truly work in their favour? And no discussion would be complete without sparing a thought for the bowlers. The IPL is becoming an all-out run-fest, leaving bowlers with nowhere to hide. What does the future hold for bowling in T20 cricket? In the latest episode of The Sledging Room, Akshay Ramesh, Saurabh Kumar, and Kingshuk Kusari break down the opening week of IPL 2025.

How to dwell in a forest alongside giants, avoid disturbing a living god, assist an animal with their manners, and help an elephant cross the road. The Presence of Elephants: Sharing Lives and Landscapes in Assam (Routledge, 2024) is an anthropological consideration of coexistence, grounded in people's everyday interactions with Asian elephants. Drawing on two years of ethnographic fieldwork in Assam, Northeast India, this book examines human-elephant copresence and how minds, tasks, identities, and places are shared between the two species. Sharing lives and landscapes with such formidable beings is a continuously shifting and negotiated exchange inherently composed of tensions, asymmetries, and uncertainties – especially in the Anthropocene when breakdowns in communication increasingly have a violent effect. Developing a multifaceted picture of human-elephant relations in a postcolonial setting, each chapter focuses on a different dimension of encounter, where elephants adapt to human norms, people are subject to elephant projects, and novel interspecies possibilities emerge at the threshold of nature and society. Vulnerability is a common experience intensified in contemporary human-elephant relations, felt through the elephant's power to disrupt and transform human lives, as well as the risks these endangered animals are exposed to. This book will be of interest to scholars of multispecies ethnography and human-animal relations, environmental humanities, conservation, and South Asian studies. Rituparna Patgiri is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati. Her research interests lie in the areas of food, media, gender and public. She is also one of the co-founders of Doing Sociology. Patgiri can be reached at @Rituparna37 on Twitter.

In this podcast we meet CIIS faculty member Sundari Johansen and speak about how her academic background in religious studies informs the critical perspective and frameworks she brings into her course on Hindu Tantra. We discuss research as deep listening and self-transformation, and get into the problems of traditional western ethnographic methodologies based upon the distinction between the insider and outsider. Sundari also shares why she was lead to invert the scholar-practitioner model into the practitioner-scholar model as a way of problematizing and making productive the entangledness of subjective engagement in the subject of one's study. We end by taking a deep dive into her paper titled, (In)conspicuous Consumption: Food, the Child Body, and Inversion of Hard-Core Rituals in Hindu Tantras. Sundari Johansen Hurwitt, PhD, specializes in gender, the body, ritual, power, and secrecy in religion. While her interest in these themes encompasses a variety of religious traditions, her research work currently focuses on ritual studies in South Asia, especially Hinduism, Śāktism (goddess-focused Hindu traditions) and Tantra in India. A practitioner and scholar, Dr. Johansen comparatively explores representations of the young female in the Tantric literature of Bengal and the Northeast as well as in the living Tantric traditions of Northeast India, using extensive textual research and in-depth ethnographic fieldwork. Her dissertation, “The Voracious Virgin: The Concept and Worship of the Kumārī in Kaula Tantrism” (CIIS, 2019) is the first comprehensive study of the kumārī (pre-menarche virgin girls worshipped as goddesses) in India. She is particularly interested in representations of gender and the body in late medieval and early modern Tantric texts, the development of Tantrism in Bengal and the northeast, and in continuities and differences between textual and modern living traditions. Her work is deeply rooted in post-colonial and decolonial, transnational, feminist, and integrative philosophies, as well as exploration of non-Western philosophical and theoretical traditions. Dr. Johansen is a strong proponent of integral feminist pedagogies and research methods and interested in furthering the development of immersive, cooperative, and collaborative educational models in online education. During her dissertation fieldwork in Assam, Dr. Johansen assisted in the development of a library and digital archive with the Foundation for History and Heritage Studies at Kāmākhyā Dhām in Guwahati, which was established to preserve endangered manuscripts and other documentation from the local community at the Kāmākhyā temple complex. Part of this work included video and audio documentation of local women's devotional music, as well as assistance with digital restoration of archival materials. Dr. Johansen received an MA and PhD in Philosophy and Religion with a concentration in Asian and Comparative Studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Her research has received support from the American Institute of Indian Studies.

Poverty, Gender and Health in the Slums of Bangladesh: Children of Crows (Routledge, 2024) provides comprehensive ethnographic accounts that depict the daily life experiences and health hardships encountered by young women and their families living in the slums of Dhaka city and the injustices they face. The analysis focuses on two specific historical eras: 2002-2003 and 2020-2022 and shows that despite recent improvements in employment opportunities and greater mobility for young women, their lives reflect ongoing challenges reminiscent of those faced two decades earlier. While national and global organizations acknowledge the nation's economic and social progress, those on the outskirts of society continue to grapple with enduring poverty. They are excluded from the advantages of economic growth, oppressed by unjust local, national, and global systems, discriminatory laws, and policies. Their struggles go unnoticed as they confront a slew of challenges, including slum evictions, enforced lockdowns, income losses, food insecurity, and ongoing crises related to health, injuries, fatalities, and exploitation and harassment by law enforcement and influential individuals within the slum and the city. After two decades, these obstacles persist, and life remains tenuous, with health severely compromised. This book will appeal to students, academics, and researchers in the fields of Public Health, Medical Anthropology, Gender Studies, Urban Studies, Development Studies, Social Sciences, as well as professionals engaged in urban health and poverty-related work. Rituparna Patgiri is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati. Her research interests lie in the areas of food, media, gender and public. She is also one of the co-founders of Doing Sociology. Patgiri can be reached at @Rituparna37 on Twitter.

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.It's the 30th of April and here are today's headlines.The Janata Dal(Secular) today suspended Hassan MP and the party's Lok Sabha candidate Prajwal Revanna, in connection with the explicit video clips allegedly involving him. The decision was made following a meeting of the JD(S) core committee held in Hubballi. Addressing media persons, JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy said the duration of the suspension “was until the completion of the probe by the Special Investigation Team (SIT). If allegations against him are proved, then he will be suspended permanently.”Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah broke his silence on the alleged sex abuse case involving Prajwal Revanna, an MP with BJP's alliance partner in Karnataka, the JD(S). Speaking in Guwahati, Shah, when asked about the allegations against Prajwal, who is also the JD(S) Lok Sabha candidate and the grandson of H D Deve Gowda, said, “It cannot be tolerated.” However, he sought to turn the tables on the Congress government in Karnataka for delaying the investigation in the case.In other news, AstraZeneca, for the first time, reportedly admitted in its court documents that its Covid vaccine can cause rare side effects, paving the way for a multi-million pound legal payout. The pharmaceutical company is being sued in a class action over claims that its vaccine against Covid-19, developed with the University of Oxford, caused death and serious injury, including TTS — Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome — which causes people to have blood clots and a low blood platelet count.The Supreme Court came down heavily on the Uttarakhand State Licensing Authority stating that they should be “honest to the court if they wanted sympathy and compassion”, a day after the body informed the court that it had “suspended manufacturing licences for 14… products” of Patanjali Ayurved Ltd and Divya Pharmacy. Expressing dissatisfaction over the explanation offered by the body, the bench observed it appeared that the licensing authority took action in accordance with the law only after the apex court's 10th of April order.British police have arrested a man armed with a sword following reports of people having been stabbed during a serious incident in northeast London. The Metropolitan Police said in a statement that the 36-year old man was arrested after police were called to reports of a vehicle being driven into a house in the area close to Hainault train station. The capital's police force said the suspect had attacked members of the public and two officers, although it was not thought to be terrorism-related.This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.
