A Mall road may be found in every hill town in India, whether it be Manali, Shimla, or Nainital. But we never considered the origin of the name "Mall Road" for these hip gathering spots.&nbsp;

The term "mall" refers to a lengthy, covered "walk" or "promenade" and dates back to the 17th century.

Since the 18th century, malls or "Mall Roads" have existed in India and have been linked to the British. The majority of hill towns and cities had a "Mall Road" where all the important stores and eateries were situated.&nbsp;

Awnings that covered the pavement once provided shade from the sun and rain for the stores. One of the main things that people did in the evenings was to stroll down this street.

After Independence, many "Mall Roads" in cities—hill stations appear to have evaded that—were renamed in honour of well-known people, most frequently Mahatma Gandhi.&nbsp;

In the past 20 years, "Shopping Malls" have begun to displace the traditional "Mall Roads" as people's preferred location for covered spaces for strolling and window shopping.&nbsp;

However, these hill towns continue to go by this outdated moniker, which still makes us think of the time when Britain governed India.&nbsp;

Indian captain Rohit Sharma was not in favour of running out Sri Lankan batter Dasun Shanaka on the non-striker's end after his premier bowler Mohammed Shami did just the same in the first ODI in Guwahati on Tuesday.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma was not in favour of running out Sri Lankan batter Dasun Shanaka on the non-striker's end after his premier bowler Mohammed Shami did just the same in the first ODI in Guwahati on Tuesday. With the match's outcome all but decided, Shami steamed in to bowl the 50th over. However, on the fourth delivery of the over, Shami broke his stride and ran out the Sri Lankan skipper on the non-striker's end after he had strayed out of the crease. Shami clipped the bails and burst into a semi-celebration as the umpire sent the call upstairs to the third umpire. In the meantime, skipper Sharma rushed to Shami, trying to understand the situation. After figuring out what his bowler had done, Sharma went to the umpire and told him the Indian side was withdrawing the appeal. Shami took his captain's argument in a healthy way and also signalled the umpire to void the Indian appeal. Notably, Shanaka was on 98, two runs away from a deserving century when Shami ran him out. In the post-match presentation ceremony, Sharma shone light on the incident and said he had no idea that Shami inflicted the non-striker's runout.

He went for the appeal. He (Shanaka) was batting on 98 and the way he was batting was brilliant. So, you've got to give it to him. We didn't want to get him out like that. We wanted to get him out the way we thought we'll get him out. Hats off to him. He batted really well."

Sharma reflected on the same and said the bowling upfront enabled India to avoid any late innings blues. "We started off really well with the bat. It was a great effort for all the batters. The platform was set to play freely for all the batters. We could have bowled slightly better. I don't want to be too critical about it. The dew was not that much but it was still difficult to bowl. We got wickets upfront with the ball which helped us with the momentum." India will now take on Sri Lanka in the second ODI match at the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Thursday.

The Unified Payment Interface (UPI) of India and its similar network in Singapore, PayNow, will soon be integrated, according to the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which will result in a 10 per cent&nbsp;reduction in remittance costs, according to a PTI report.

The two digital payment networks between India and Singapore would be interoperable, enabling seamless remittances between the two countries at a very affordable rate.

Mohanty anticipates that these payment networks' interoperability with Malaysia and India also would occur virtually simultaneously. Besides financial and legal constraints, Mohanty claimed that data-sharing requirements outweigh technological difficulties.

Aadhaar &amp; India Stack lead architect Pramod Verma predicted that Dubai and a few other nations would soon see a similar level of interoperability.

According to him, this connectivity will also enable Indian visitors to Singapore to make UPI payments. Singapore already has a partnership with PromPay in Indonesia to simplify cross-border transfers.
