Where to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup

The FIFA World Cup is one of the most awaited sport events around the world. The world cup is held every 4 years and this year it is being jointly hosted across 16 cities in three North American countries — the United States, Canada, and Mexico — and marking the debut of the expanded 48‑team format. This marks the first time the tournament has been shared by three nations and the first to feature an expanded 48-team format.

With more matches, more teams, and more global excitement than ever before, fans around the world are eager to know where and how they can watch the action.

GRAMMY Record of the Year Winners, In One Playlist

Last updated: 2026-06-07

Here is a Spotify playlist featuring every GRAMMY Record of the Year winner, starting from the award’s very first presentation in 1959.

The Record of the Year award category differs from the Song of the Year in the sense that whereas Record of the Year is awarded to the performing artist, the producer, recording engineer and/or mixer for a song, the Song of the Year honors the songwriting — the lyricists, the composers, the storytellers who shape the emotional core of a track.

As of May 2026, the playlist below features 68 songs with a total runtime of about 4 hours. The direct link is here and it is also embedded below. For those interested in fascinating details and a complete list of nominees, winners and songwriters, Wikipedia has a dedicated article here.

Rewriting Kumardubi on Wikipedia

For a long time, every time I opened the Wikipedia page for Kumardubi, the place where I grew up, I felt a mix of nostalgia and the urge to rewrite it. The article had a fair amount of information, but it felt outdated, missed many details and there was scope for improvement in the structure.

This year, I finally decided to copy it to my sandbox and undertake a major rewrite. I updated the industrial information, expanded historical details, adding details on education and tourism, and added reliable citations from government reports, newspapers and archival sources.

Below, I am keeping a replica of the content of the article as it looks after my final update.

Movie Review: Animal Farm: A Cautionary Tail (2025)

I went to see the 2025 adaptation of "Animal Farm" at Cinemark Fallen Timbers 14 and XD, it was pretty cool overall. Directed by Andy Serkis, the movie presents the story in impressive animation.

The story is based on George Orwell's 1945 novella that satirizes the 1917 Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism. The movie follows the revolution at Manor Farm, where the animals revolt against their human master with the aim to set up a society where all animals are equal. But the pigs, led by Nepoleon, seize power and establish a brutal dictatorship in association with a ruthless billionaire Frieda Pilkington. The pigs rewrite history, exploit the working animals, and eventually adopt the same oppressive behaviors as the humans. The story is seen through the eyes of a new character, Lucky, a young piglet who admires Nepoleon but slowly realizes that the revolution is sold out and the initial ideals of freedom have evolved into a corrupted tyranny. Lucky leads a group to go against the tyranny.

Quotable quote: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

Book Review: Exposed: The Secret Life of Jodi Arias

"Exposed: The Secret Life of Jodi Arias" by Jane Velez-Mitchell is a true crime book about the killing of Travis Alexander and the complicated personality of his ex-girlfriend, Jodi Arias. The book explores the relationship between Jodi and Travis and the mix of intense romance, jealousy, and control in the backdrop of Travis' Mormon faith. As one of the most watched murder trials in America, the book also delves into the TV event which the case turned into. As the author goes through the details of the crime scene, reconstructions, explicit testimony and the jury trial, the writing becomes both vivid and disturbing.

Overall, “Exposed” is an engaging read for true crime fans as it offers a clear narrative of the case, a sharp portrait of Jodi Arias, and a critical look at how media and public opinion interact in high-profile trials. This book is likely to hold your attention from beginning to end.

Here is my note at Goodreads:
