Young Clark Kent knocks off Phelps’ record 

A 10-year-old boy who represents the Monterey County Aquatic Team, competed at the Far West International Championship in California and won the 100-metre butterfly in 1:09:38. He beat Michael Phelps’ 1995 record at the championship by more than a second. Clark took only four years in the competitive circuit to beat Phelps, who has won 28 Olympic medals till date. “This kid is unlike any other young man that I’ve ever coached,” said Dia Riana, Clark’s coach. “He’s always stood out.” Phelps tweeted out to the young ‘Superman’, “Big congrats to #clarkkent for smashing that meet record. Keep it up dude. #dreambig (sic).”

Day 1 of the first Specsavers Test between India and England at Edgbaston, saw Dinesh Karthik and R Ashwin take the stump-mic game to a whole new level. But this time, it was not just the England batsmen who were couldn’t understand a thing. They spoke in Tamil throughout the game baffling a few of their teammates as well. Karthik was heard asking Ashwin to maintain the length for Alastair Cook and keep the ball in line. He asked Ashwin to be patient as “things will happen” and that the ball will turn. The two kept their banter on even after Cook got out.

Anand Mahindra had recently shared a photograph of a cobbler in front of a billboard saying that ‘wounded shoes’ are treated there. Mahindra had said that the man could teach techniques of marketing to management students. His team even tracked down the man and offered to help. But the cobbler, Narsi Ram from Haryana, refused any monetary help. He rather asked them to improve his kiosk. Mahindra put his design team to work and shared design options they came up with. The project has finally been completed and he tweeted a photo saying, “This is what our design studio in Mumbai came up with: Great work guys. Will be delivered soon.”
