Undisputed WWE Championship

Singles Match

Brock Lesnar defeated Oba Femi via pinfall in one of the most talked-about matches of the evening.

WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship

World Heavyweight Championship – Tribal Combat Match

Roman Reigns (c) defeated Jacob Fatu via pinfall to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

Sol Ruca Scores Career-Defining Victory

One of the biggest moments of the night came when Sol Ruca defeated Becky Lynch to capture the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. The victory marks the first major championship win of her main roster career and further establishes her as one of WWE's fastest-rising stars.

After making a name for herself in NXT, Sol Ruca has quickly become a fan favorite. Her title win at Clash In Italy could be the start of a major push on WWE's main roster.

Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns and Rhea Ripley Stay on Top

WWE once again showed confidence in its top champions as Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns and Rhea Ripley all walked out of Italy with their titles intact.

Cody Rhodes arguably faced his toughest challenge yet against Gunther. Many fans believed Gunther would leave Italy as the new champion after his dominant performances throughout the year. However, Rhodes managed to overcome the challenge and continue his title reign.

Roman Reigns also retained his championship after defeating Jacob Fatu in a hard-hitting Tribal Combat Match. Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley continued her dominance in the women's division with a successful title defense against Jade Cargill.

Fans Divided Over WWE Clash In Italy

The reaction to Clash In Italy has been mixed among wrestling fans. While many praised Sol Ruca's championship victory and Rhea Ripley's performance, others felt the event lacked major surprises.

Some fans on social media criticized the show for having predictable outcomes, particularly with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns once again retaining their championships.

Despite the criticism, the passionate crowd in Turin helped create an electric atmosphere throughout the event, making it feel like a special international WWE show.

What's Next for WWE?

With Clash In Italy now in the rearview mirror, WWE's attention turns to the upcoming King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring tournaments.

The company will be looking to create fresh rivalries and build momentum heading into its next major Premium Live Event. For now, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns and Rhea Ripley remain at the top of WWE, while Sol Ruca leaves Italy as one of the biggest winners of the night and a rising star to watch.

Anushka Sharma has once more become the star of attention of cricket fans, this time for all deserved reasons. Having previously received criticism online or trolling with digital harassment whenever Virat Kohli played poorly following a poor run, Virat Kohli’s actress has now found the applause of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s “lucky charm” and earned the team the IPL title once more for a second consecutive time. The IPL final was held in Ahmedabad, where Anushka is photographed in India standing right beside an impressive line at the final in Ahmedabad, where it could be seen that Virat Kohli played a big part in taking the trophy to RCB. 

As soon as the winning team clinched the victory, social media was inundated with pictures and videos where Anushka jubilantly enjoyed that historic moment celebrating them. From a few years Anushka's presence at the games of India's traditional cricket has received much unsolicited interest. During Virat Kohli’s formative years in the international cricket and the IPL, some fans unfairly blamed the actress whenever the star batter fell short. She was often singled out by trolls who claimed she was "unlucky" for Virat and his teams. 

But times have changed a lot since then. Today the very fans are singing the praises of Anushka and praising her for giving both Virat Kohli and RCB good vibes and making things happen. A few fans shared their love on social media. When Anushka Sharma is in the stadium, it's harder for other teams to curb RCB, one fan wrote. She was also referred to by another, another supporter as the team’s lucky charm and also congratulated the team for winning back to back IPL trophies. Most fans also noted that Anushka has been attending more matches all through the past two seasons. From 2021 to 2024, the actress made fewer appearances at cricket stadiums as she focused on raising her children, Vamika and Akaay. RCB fans have been telling me that her recent success comes on the heels of returning to the stands, which is why she's such a fan of the franchise. 

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are one of India’s most adored couples with a romance that never goes away. The couple hit the road together some time around 2013, while filming a television spot. They quickly formed a relationship and while the public eye dwelled on them and rumors broke up, they took each other's backs at every stage of life. Virat and Anushka celebrated their wedding ceremony at Lake Como, Italy, through a highly secretive ceremony in 2017. Family and friends joined in on the small jubilation. They have since become one of India's most popular power couples. The couple are today proud parents of two children, Vamika and Akaay. News reports suggest they spend considerable time in the United Kingdom where they have more quiet and quiet time as a couple away from public life and with less drama. 

Professionally Anushka Sharma's only other recent cast member was in the movie Qala. Her most recent big acting job was in the 2018 movie Zero. Chakda Xpress is just a bit out now, fans wait on her much-pushed biopic, about a former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami. But as RCB reels off another IPL title and Virat Kohli excels on the cricket field, it just goes to show, Anushka Sharma has gone from being vilified and unfairly blamed to one of the most loved stars in RCB by many fans.

For more than 65 years, Jainson Locks has been a part of that trust.

Established in 1965 by Mr. Prem Chand Jain in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh — a city widely known for India’s lock manufacturing industry — Jainson Locks began its journey with traditional padlocks and gradually evolved into a Pan-India security and architectural hardware brand.

Today, the company offers a wide range of products including smart locks, main door locks, mortise handle systems, furniture locks, shutter locks, and architectural hardware solutions. It serves homeowners, dealers, distributors, architects, builders, and commercial projects across India with consistent reliability.

A Legacy Built on Trust

In India, security is deeply emotional. A home is not just walls and doors; it is where families grow, memories are created, and life experiences unfold. Within this space, a lock becomes a symbol of emotional safety and protection.

For over six decades, Jainson Locks has earned trust through consistency, durability, and reliable performance. Legacy brands do not survive only through advertising or marketing campaigns; they survive because customers continue to trust them across generations based on real experience.

Today, Jainson Locks represents a strong combination of:

• Traditional manufacturing expertise

• Continuous product innovation

• Strong nationwide dealer network

• Pan-India market presence

• Evolving design and architectural relevance

The brand has built a network of 10,000+ dealers and distributors, reached millions of households, and developed long-term relationships with 500+ builders and architects across India. These figures represent long-term credibility built over decades, not short-term growth.

From Traditional Manufacturing to a Modern Brand

Jainson Locks started in Aligarh with a focus on producing durable and affordable padlocks designed for Indian households. At that time, the priority was simple — strength, affordability, and long-term usability.

As India modernized, customer expectations also evolved significantly. Homeowners now look for more than just security strength; they expect a balance of design, convenience, and performance.

Modern expectations include:

• Premium surface finishes

• Smooth and silent functionality

• Advanced locking mechanisms

• Better compatibility with modern doors

• Long-term durability with low maintenance

To meet these changing needs, Jainson Locks expanded beyond traditional locking systems into architectural hardware and modern security solutions while preserving its core identity of trust, strength, and reliability.

The Shift Toward Smart Security

India’s home security industry is undergoing a major transformation. With smart homes, digital ecosystems, and modern architecture becoming more common, security is no longer defined only by mechanical strength but also by intelligence and convenience.

Today’s homeowners prefer features such as:

• Fingerprint-based access systems

• PIN and password entry options

• RFID-enabled smart cards

• Mobile app control systems

• Keyless entry convenience

Recognizing this shift early, Jainson Locks expanded into smart locking solutions while continuing to strengthen its traditional hardware categories. Its smart ecosystem supports multiple access methods, offering flexibility, convenience, and improved control over home security.

This evolution reflects a broader industry trend where security solutions are now expected to combine strength, technology, usability, and modern design integration.

Quality That Builds Long-Term Trust

One of the strongest reasons legacy brands continue to exist is consistent quality over time.

Jainson Locks focuses on durable raw materials, precision engineering, and strict manufacturing standards to ensure long-term performance. The brand emphasizes corrosion resistance, strong finishing, smooth operation, and low-maintenance usage for everyday reliability.

It is also associated with ISO 9001:2015 certification, and provides warranties across multiple product categories — important trust indicators in the Indian hardware industry.

In a category where products are expected to perform reliably for years without failure, quality is not just a feature; it becomes the foundation of brand reputation and customer confidence.

Modernizing a 65-Year Legacy

For legacy companies, staying relevant across generations is one of the biggest challenges. Consumer behavior, design trends, and technology continue to evolve rapidly.

At Jainson Locks, modernization has been focused on evolving with the market while preserving heritage values. Key initiatives include:

• Expanding into premium architectural hardware segments

• Improving product design, packaging, and presentation

• Aligning offerings with modern interior and architecture trends

• Strengthening digital presence and brand visibility

• Connecting with younger homeowners, architects, and designers

Instead of replacing tradition, the approach has been to modernize it — making a 65-year-old legacy relevant for today’s fast-changing market.

More Than Locks: Part of India’s Security Journey

Very few Indian hardware brands remain relevant across multiple generations. Even fewer successfully evolve from traditional manufacturing into modern, design-driven security solution providers.

For more than six decades, Jainson Locks has been part of countless homes, offices, shutters, and commercial spaces across India — protecting not only physical structures but also the emotions and memories associated with them.

As homes become smarter, more connected, and more design-focused, the future of security will rely on intelligent systems, durability, convenience, and seamless design integration.

Yet one principle remains unchanged since 1965: creating dependable security solutions that families can trust.

And that is why Jainson Locks continues to stand not just as a lock manufacturer, but as a trusted name in India’s evolving home security journey.

This victory not only marked RCB’s second IPL title but also brought the organization its fourth trophy in Indian franchise cricket, which includes two Women's Premier League (WPL) titles.

Kohli Leads Chase in IPL Final

Chasing a target of 156, RCB showcased their strength to secure their second consecutive IPL title. Kohli’s performance was especially remarkable, as he battled through pain from injuries to achieve the fastest half-century of his IPL career.

RCB’s chase began on a solid note, with a strong 62-run partnership between Venkatesh Iyer, who scored 32 runs off 16 balls, and Virat Kohli. Although the Titans fought back and reduced RCB to 132 for 5 at one stage, Kohli kept his composure, ultimately guiding RCB to victory with two overs to spare, as they crossed the finish line at 156 runs. It was a match filled with excitement and a testament to the team's resilience and skill.

Titans Struggle Against RCB Bowling Attack

Batting first, the Gujarat Titans managed to score 155 runs for the loss of eight wickets in their 20 overs. Washington Sundar was the standout performer for GT, scoring an unbeaten 50 runs off 37 balls, backed by Nishant Sindhu, who contributed 20 runs off 18 balls. 

RCB's bowlers, including Rasikh Dar Salam (3 wickets for 27 runs), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2 for 29), and Josh Hazlewood (2 for 37), kept the pressure on the Titans by taking wickets at crucial moments.

Kohli Praises Team's Calm Approach

Virat Kohli said, "I said to a few of the boys that it doesn't feel like the same pressure. We topped the group and said one thing, if we stick to our cricket we are the best in the comp. The skillsets, the maturity and composure, shone through tonight in a clinical performance. We had a couple of losses after the break, it was a tricky week but the belief kicked back in after that win over KKR."

He added, “We've had to wait so long, and now you step to the ground and so many guys behind you, you don't need to step up everytime. So many man of the match awards spread through. World class bowling like Hoff, Bhuv, Duff, Krunal, Rasikh was brilliant this season. Batting chipped in everywhere too.”

Playing XI's: GT AND RCB

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Playing Xl’s: Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar(c), Jitesh Sharma(w), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Romario Shepherd, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jacob Duffy, Josh Hazelwood, Rasikh Salam Dar

Impact Subs: Prasidh Krishna, Glenn Phillips, Anuj Rawat, Kumar Kushagra, Sai Kishore

Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar made their mark early on, dismissing Shubman Gill and B Sai Sudharsan during the Powerplay. Rasikh Salam Dar also shone with his best season-leading spell, claiming 3 wickets for just 27 runs. Amidst the batting collapse, Washington Sundar stood tall for the Titans, escaping an early scare. He anchored the innings, scoring a solid fifty that included five boundaries, helping GT cross the 150-run threshold.

Nishant Sindhu was the only other GT batter to score more than 20 runs, as the in-form opening pair of Gill and Sudharsan fell cheaply. 

Earlier in the evening, RCB won the toss and chose to field. Before the match, RCB had had a well-timed rest before the final. RCB last played on Tuesday, May 26, where they convincingly defeated the Titans in Qualifier 1 to secure their spot in the final. On the other hand, GT had a tougher journey, traveling from Dharamsala to Chandigarh for the second qualifier, where they triumphed over their rivals, the Rajasthan Royals, to earn their place in the final.

However, bad weather delayed their departure from Chandigarh, leaving them fatigued and without practice time, which could be a setback for Gill's team. As RCB aims for a historic second consecutive title, the Titans are looking to reclaim their IPL crown after their victory in 2022.

Accused Dies During Police Action

Asad had been absconding since the stabbing and was carrying a reward of Rs 50,000. He was reportedly injured in a retaliatory fire from police and pronounced dead when he was brought into a hospital, according to police. 

Officials also said that a police officer was injured in the shooting and was subsequently taken into hospital for treatment. 

Teen Stabbed After Dispute On Bakrid

On May 28, the teenager was stabbed following an argument between two groups when Asad and people he associated with stabbed him in the Khoda area of Ghaziabad on the occasion of Bakrid. Surya's family reportedly knew both sides and were in the same social circle. They also described a dispute between the two a few months before. His sister alleged that Surya was called to the scene with an illusory motive. 

The family also mentioned that Surya had run nearly 200 metres to save his life - while the attackers chased him and slashed him with knives before fleeing. 

DCP Jaiswal Details Murder And Arrests

Police reports suggest that Surya fell onto the road after being stabbed multiple times by a knife. Attackers thought he was dead, and that’s why they fled from the scene, police added. Five people were named in the FIR, according to Deputy Commissioner of Police (City/Trans-Hindon), Dhaval Jaiswal. 

"Five individuals were named as accused in this case. Immediately after the incident, the police arrested three of the accused, while the main accused, Asad, remained at large. Several police teams were constituted to apprehend him, and a reward of Rs 50,000 was announced for his capture," Jaiswal said.

Arrested Men Reveal Details Of Murder

Prior to the Saturday night incident, ongoing raids and search activities were in place to locate Asad. Three arrested men named Nawab (Asad's father), Farhan and Atif have also been linked to the murder. Farhan stated that after hearing the dispute between Asad and Surya on the day of May 28, they decided to go and confront the teen. 

NTA Announces Retest for Affected Students

The agency issued an official statement admitting that the test was disrupted and candidates underwent stress due to it. Adding further, it said that candidates, who have had biometric registration, appeared at their exam centres, but weren't able to finish the test because of the glitch, will be given an opportunity for examination. A fresh schedule will be released soon on the NTA website.

“We know today's unfortunate technical disruption caused distress for some CUET (UG) 2026 candidates," NTA said.

TCS Asked to Submit Cause Report

Elaborating on the details, NTA clarified that technical issues started at some centres during Shift-1, which delayed the examination. It confirmed that the technical service provider Tata Consultancy Services (TCS iON) was asked to immediately provide a root cause analysis report and the report will be submitted by them forthwith.

"TCS has reported that a technical glitch at their end delayed the commencement of CUET UG 2026 at some centres on Saturday. The issue has since been resolved, and the exam is being conducted with full compensatory time so that no candidate is disadvantaged,” NTA added.

Most Candidates Completed CUET UG Exam

NTA assured that after the restoration of the technical glitch, more than 95 per cent students were able to write their exams in full. However, 3,765 candidates who attended their examination centers and completed biometrics, have chosen to leave before restart of exam. As a one-time measure, a fresh examination will be conducted for them.

Exam Timings Revised After Delay

Earlier in the day, NTA had confirmed that a technical error delayed the CUET UG 2026 in several exam centers. The issue was resolved and students were provided with compensatory time.

The timing of afternoon exams were also changed to 4:00 PM and reporting at 2:30 PM instead of 3:00 PM. For the morning shifts, students were given the complete time of the paper and not allowed to leave until its completion.

NEET Row Adds to NTA Concerns

This is the second exam failure for the NTA in as many weeks, especially when students are already facing the heat after the cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026 following various irregularities and alleged paper leak. The exam, held on May 3, has been postponed to June 21, and a CBI probe is ordered by the Ministry of Education.

Atishi Targets Centre Over CUET Chaos

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi has launched a sharp attack on Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, citing the CUET delay as yet another example of incompetence.

"Today CUET has been delayed due to a ‘technical issue’. Lakhs of students were to take the exam in all parts of India today and after waiting for hours, such notices have been put up outside all centres. Remarkable incompetence @dpradhanbjp!” Atishi wrote on X.

According to a reliable tipster, the Xiaomi 17T may launch in India at Rs 65,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. While Xiaomi has not officially confirmed the price yet, the leaked figure places the smartphone comfortably under the Rs 70,000 segment. In Europe, the same device starts at EUR 749, which is roughly Rs 83,000, making the Indian pricing significantly more competitive.

Xiaomi 17T To Compete With Samsung And Vivo

The leaked Xiaomi 17T pricing positions the smartphone against devices like the Vivo X200T, Samsung Galaxy A56 and Motorola Signature. However, Xiaomi appears to be betting heavily on its camera system and battery life to stand out from the competition.

One of the biggest highlights of the Xiaomi 17T is its Leica-backed camera setup. The phone is expected to feature a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. Features like these are usually seen on much more expensive flagship smartphones.

The handset is also expected to pack a massive 6,500mAh silicon-carbon battery with support for 67W fast charging. If Xiaomi manages to optimise the software experience well, the 17T could become one of the strongest all-rounder smartphones in its category.

Xiaomi 17T Specifications

The Xiaomi 17T global variant has already revealed most of the key specifications, and the Indian model is expected to remain largely identical. The smartphone features a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, Dolby Vision support, and peak brightness of up to 3,500 nits.

Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset paired with 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. Xiaomi has also included its in-house Surge T1 Plus and T1S chips along with a 3D IceLoop cooling system for better thermal performance during gaming and heavy usage.

For selfies and video calls, the Xiaomi 17T includes a 32MP front camera. The device runs HyperOS 3 based on Android 16 out of the box.

Xiaomi Brings Offline Communication Feature

Another interesting feature on the Xiaomi 17T is Astro Communication. Xiaomi claims this technology can enable offline communication over distances of up to 1.3 kilometres in certain situations. This feature could become useful during emergencies or in areas with weak network coverage.

Xiaomi 17T is also expected to launch in Black, Blue and Violet colour options in India.

Phogat, an MLA on Congress from Haryana State, has had problems since she led a campaign against the WFI's former president, Brij Bushan Sharan Singh, who continues to be accused of sexual harassment. 

Weight Category Dispute

Vinesh was permitted to compete in the Asian Games selection trials, upon the Supreme Court of India granting approval. The Olympian was in the 53 kg weight category, however, selection trials turned to a controversy as WFI forbade Vinesh from competing in her favourite weight category. 

The challenges were tossed in at arbitrary intervals and it was also seen multiple moments of technical failure on the screen, one of the two bouts she fought also ran into controversy. Goyat defeated her in the third bout with a score of 6-4 and her hopes of competing in the Asian Games had been dashed. 

Vinesh Alleges Bias During Competition

Vinesh said that she did her best. She also alleged biasness and said, “I did well, I did the best I could I think I’ll work harder.”

“The entire system is standing on one side, and we are all standing on the other side, but we can proudly say that we are standing tall against them and will continue to fight.” 

“Obviously, there was biasness. I want to train so hard that even those who are cheating will be left behind. I want to improve to such an extent that, despite their cheating, they will not be able to defeat me. I will continue to work hard, train even harder, and perform even better,” she said.

Asian Games Dream Ends After Loss

Vinesh's route to semifinals was not easy as she led Jyoti 7-1 in her first match and then defeated Nishu 7-6, in a cutthroat quarterfinal match where she just pushed her way in the final four. She finally fell against Meenakshi who had a brutal battle against Vinesh and left 6-4. The defeat has killed the dream of a comeback in wrestling for the wrestler as she is unable to make a reservation for her ticket to Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, for the Asian Games this year. 

According to sources, BJP workers raised "chor chor" slogans against the leader and Banerjee was escorted by security persons with a helmet on. 

Banerjee Visits Families Of Slain Leaders

Banerjee had reached to meet the family members of a slain TMC leader Sanju Karmakar who, as per TMC, was attacked post the assembly election results, and further members in other areas like Sonarpur South, Beleghata for similar reasons. 

This visit comes 26 days after the TMC's loss in the assembly elections in West Bengal. After receiving injuries during the visit, Banerjee was admitted to Apollo Hospital in Kolkata and was taken to treatment, when West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also visited the hospital to meet the leader.

Abhishek Says Attack Was Caught On Camera

TMC had alleged Banerjee was beaten up and stones pelted at by the workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Visuals from the incident also showed security personnel with Banerjee surrounded all around, due to increasing tension. 

Abhishek said, "They threw a brick, threw an egg, and pelted stones. Please tell me what this is. And all the people standing nearby, the people of the area, they are still meeting us and still greeting us with love and respect. Go and ask those who are doing hooliganism here. We have all the video evidence. There's a community hall nearby. From 11 am onwards, goons were kept in that community hall to pelt stones," about the attack.

Banerjee Vows Legal Action Over Assault

Banerjee had later allegedly mentioned that the attackers wanted to kill him and the whole incident was recorded on camera. 

“They wanted to kill me. The whole incident has been captured on camera. We will definitely let the High Court know about this. We will also let the Governor know about this. I will definitely move to court," he said.

He added, "My head was somehow spared; fortunately, I was wearing a helmet. They have torn my clothes and broken my spectacles.”

O’Brien Raises Questions on Security

Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Derek O’ Brien allegedly stated that Banerjee’s life was in danger, raising questions of the leader’s safety arrangements.

O'Brien said, "The Lok Sabha Leader of the second-largest Opposition party, All India Trinamool Congress, went to visit the family of a person murdered by BJP in post-poll violence. Abhishek Banerjee was lynched and attacked by a few BJP supporters. Life at risk. Where are the police? Why was security withdrawn on the day of counting? Let the Home Minister answer," on social media platform X.

Government Tries to Convince Jarange-Patil  

Maharashtra Water Resources Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil visited Antarwali Sarati to persuade Jarange-Patil to lift his agitation. Yet the initial stage of discussions produced no concrete action, since the government asked for more time to handle several significant requirements. The minister assured the citizens that the government will take steps to support claims raised by the Maratha community and submitted the draft paper which contained action items to be taken by the state administration.  

Why Is Jarange-Patil Protesting?  

Jarange-Patil complained about delays in the implementation of commitments made during his hunger strike in Mumbai's Azad Maidan last year. His major demands include:  

Implementation of Hyderabad Gazetteer (1909) and Satara Gazetteer.  
Issue of Kunbi certificates to eligible Marathas of the OBC category.  
Establishment of another ministry to address Maratha welfare.  
Granting caste validity certificates as Kunbi to eligible members of the Maratha community.  
Strict action for officials who refuse to issue certificates to eligible applicants.  

Government Seeks More Time  

Vikhe-Patil indicated at the gathering the government is committed to settling the Maratha issues. But he warned against a Government Resolution (GR) to implement the Satara Gazetteer at once because of the threat of lawsuits. The GR related to the Hyderabad Gazetteer has already been challenged in court, and there was advice from legal experts to "take caution," said the minister.  

Protest Continues Amid Ongoing Talks  

It was the second round of meetings between Jarange-Patil and the state since Friday. Despite officials asking to withdraw from the situation many times, the Maratha chief firmly insists on holding onto his hunger strike for an indefinite period of time before he will see any change in the community's demands. When Maratha protests spread across Maharashtra, all eyes were on the government's next move and whether a breakthrough might be achieved in the Maratha reservation dispute.

The inspiring story came to light through an Instagram post shared by entrepreneur Nezrin Midhlaj, who recently met a female auto-rickshaw driver during a ride. What started as a casual conversation soon turned into a powerful lesson about choosing happiness over job titles.

A post shared by Dr. Nezrin Midhlaj / Entrepreneur / Global Speaker (@dr.nezrin_midhlaj)

From IT Manager to Auto Driver

According to Midhlaj, the woman revealed that she had worked as an IT manager for nine years before deciding to leave the corporate world behind. She said her job came with constant stress, pressure, and tension, which eventually affected her peace of mind.

Looking for a better quality of life, she made the bold decision to quit her IT career and start driving her own auto-rickshaw.

Today, she earns around ₹60,000 per month and says she is much happier with her life.

Why She Chose Happiness Over Prestige

Sharing the experience on Instagram, Midhlaj wrote that the woman appeared confident, well-dressed, and completely at peace. The entrepreneur said the conversation made her realize that success means different things to different people.

She noted that many people spend years chasing promotions and prestigious job titles without asking themselves what truly makes them happy. Sometimes, choosing peace and personal satisfaction over status can be the bravest decision of all.

Social Media Praises Her Bold Career Move

The story quickly went viral on social media, with thousands of users praising the woman for her courage and honesty.

One user joked about surviving years of endless meetings, late-night work calls, and stressful production issues in the IT industry. Others said they admired the woman's decision to prioritize happiness over workplace pressure.

Many people applauded her for choosing a simple, stress-free life and wished her success in the future.

A Story That Started a Bigger Conversation

The viral story has sparked conversations about work-life balance, mental health, and the importance of finding a career that brings genuine happiness rather than just financial security or social status.

For many readers, her journey serves as a reminder that success is not always measured by job titles—it is often measured by peace of mind and personal satisfaction.

On social media the popularity of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has caught the attention of India's political arena. The leadership of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sunil Ambekar recently offered his views on the viral phenomenon, claiming that dissent and public discourse is a normal and healthy aspect of democracy. Speaking on the matter, Ambekar stressed that India has a democratic system that is robust enough to be inclusive of different views and voices. For him, voices with differing opinions should not be treated as a threat or an ‘unexpected disturbance’ but as a keystone to living a democracy. The Cockroach Janta Party, a satirical platform with a particular following among Gen Z, has seen a wave of activity over the internet. 

For this reason, the group has amassed a huge following in social media platforms such as Instagram and, according to some reports, even surpassed the number of followers of several recognized political parties. Its jokes, memes and observations on today’s matters have become popular, and the site became one of the most-discussed trends on the internet in recent times. To the continued buzz among activists that the platform is popularising, Ambekar said India is a democracy where there are transparent elections, free media and free social media comments. 

He added that the public talks are happening every day, and that democracy is only possible when people can openly express themselves. Ambekar said CJP’s success is a testimony to how optimistic and active India’s youth has become. Gen Z’s belief in the country’s future — the hope for a brighter future — remains strong and so is their trust in the country’s institutions. The RSS leader pointed out that India's democracy has the capacity to reflect every voice and every emotion. He was confident about the country’s institutions and said people should trust that the system could deal with different points of view constructively. His comments are part of a political debate over the Cockroach Janta Party. 

Some BJP leaders have questioned the motives for the social media action. Other quarters have also raised allegations for foreign connections, but none of these have been put to the public record. Addressing concerns about whether organizations like RSS should act as a direct intervenor in the issues, Ambekar said India’s democratic institutions are well-placed to handle such issues unilaterally. Political parties, the media, and other public institutions, he said, are powerful enough to oversee any debate or discussion without immediately needing intervention from all organizations. As he put it, in any democracy, discussions and disagreements are inevitable and there are well-established democratic ways of addressing them wherever they come up. Support for the Cockroach Janta Party has also grown from leaders and public figures in opposition parties. Politicians from all parties, as well as celebrities, comedians and online stars from social media have declared their support of this channel. The Cockroach Janta Party, after all, is perhaps the biggest sensation on the internet on any social media platform, but by the time of writing, it will still be as viral as ever. The argument suggests how emerging political discourse among India's youth has become more filtered through social media.

Various Indian states are devastated by serious weather with at least 28 people dead over the preceding 48-hour period. In Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh, heavy rain, thunderstorms, lightning and strong winds have disturbed normal life, while the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has declared that more severe weather can be had in the days ahead. Out of all states affected by the floods, Uttar Pradesh reported the number of fatalities in the high numbers, with 11 attributed to storms and heavy rain. There was one of the most tragic incidents in the district of Hamirpur where a portion of an under-construction bridge over the Betwa River came crashing down in a raging storm. Six workers, four of whom were labourers, and two security guards, were killed amid the incident. At the site of one of the incident, rescue teams from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) were able to save three workers trapped at the site. 

The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, offered condolences to the families of the deceased individual and promised to give ₹5 lakh for each deceased family and ₹50,000 for the injured family. A similar tragic incident occurred in Kaushambi district when a tree fell upon a mud house during heavy rain and fierce winds. 

Three family members, including two young children, died, along with another child sustaining injuries. The victims were asleep at the time the tragedy happened in the early hours of the morning. Two more lives were lost during severe storms compounded by lightning and heavy rainfall, injuring at least seven in Jalaun district. There were also widespread losses in house and livestock as the storm hit, killed 23 animals reported, and dozens of houses damaged. Severe weather also had to face some major destruction throughout West Bengal in particular. Lightning strikes, electrocution and wall collapse struck at least seven people from a variety of districts - primarily Kolkata, Howrah, Hooghly and Purulia, as well as South and North 24 Parganas - killed in the latest incident. Some others were injured as thunderstorms washed through the area. 

The Indian state government declared ₹4 lakh to compensate the families of the deceased, and promised free medical services to those who were wounded. Bihar announced 7 people died as a result of lightning within 24 hours. The fatalities were reported in the districts of Aurangabad, Gaya, Saran and Khagaria. State officials have also ordered the government to provide ₹4 lakh in emergency financial assistance to families of the tragedy. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh suffered heavy rains in over a dozen districts. In Bhind district three people lost their lives due to separate weather-related incidents. Lightning strikes and house collapses caused by continuous rain resulted in fatalities and injuries, shaking local communities. Besides all three states, heavy rain and thunderstorms also affected Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand. Where the rain provided respite from searing summer temperatures, it also caused transportation and power supply breakdowns. 

As weather agencies forecast greater thunderstorms and rainy days come up in northern India, officials have already told the people to be alert and stay away from open areas during lightning events, and abide by safety protocols issued by local administrations.

Rishabh Pant also shook things up after more than two poor seasons for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), resigning as franchise captain. The change was to stem an end of a tough IPL campaign much less than expected after LSG finished at the bottom of the points table. Pant's decision to step down from captain was no surprise to many within the franchise. Tom Moody -- the LSG director of cricket -- confessed to talk of the need for the club to move some of its stars in the wrong direction, and spoke of the need for a leader change as a means of seeking ways to come back in with more of a winning programme if such a team were to perform well next season to come. Wicketkeeper-batter: he was under tremendous pressure throughout the season in terms of performance, not only because of the team’s bad results but also because of how he always feels about the bat. Price is a barreling with its high, as one of the most expensive players in IPL history for ₹27 crore. 

But none of Pant or the team achieved what fans were hoping for. Tom Moody approved Pant for stepping down from the position of captain. Moody told me the Indian phenom must now turn all his attention to his batting and get back into the unashamed mode of cricket that turned him into one of world cricket’s more exciting players. Moody observed that the past two years were tough for Pant personally and professionally. Removing the weight of leadership, he said, would enable the player to get back to being his best game. And the former Australian cricketer added that a leadership reset was already something his team had found necessary, he added. Lucknow Super Giants have been poor in the past few years with finishes of 7th, 7th, and at last 10th in the standings. In the process, it forced the management to examine every detail of the organization and its overall plan. Moody said he had only recently assumed his position within the franchise and was hoping to conduct an internal evaluation of everything going on with cricketing.

The ambition is to have LSG emerge as a viable contender in the IPL finals again. One of the most important questions right now: Whether Lucknow Super Giants have the right, with Rishabh Pant, to hang out with them next season. Although fans wanted to find out what will become of him, Moody was hesitant to come clean about the player’s future and future in terms of the team, and therefore made no solid recommendations. He said the IPL season had recently come to a close and that the franchise would first undergo what he described as a “high-level” inspection of all that has transpired with the team’s performances, balance in the squad and outlook moving forward. 

The team will not be making any decision about player retention or team strategy until this evaluation is complete. Talk of Pant’s future has already been fanfare amongst both cricket fans and academics. Instead, the emphasis, for the time being, is on re-establishing some confidence in the star batter and regaining the attacking spirit that saw him emerge as a match-winner for India and of his IPL clubs alike. As Lucknow Super Giants set in motion a new chapter, Pant's decision marks a turning point. Whether he sticks with the team and/or looks to explore new opportunities, his next step will be closely watched by cricket fans around the world.

Gill Hits Century in Big Chase

Gill, who captains the team, played a spectacular innings, hitting 104 runs off just 53 balls, which included 15 fours and three sixes, all while chasing a huge target of 215. Notably, he became the first captain to score a century in the IPL playoffs.

Joining him in a remarkable opening partnership was Sai Sudharsan, who contributed a solid 58 runs off 32 balls. Together, they forged an impressive 167-run partnership, setting the stage for the Titans' success. Washington Sundar added to the excitement with a quick cameo, while Rahul Tewatia's strong finish ensured the Titans crossed the finish line with eight balls to spare. This marks the third time the Gujarat Titans have reached the IPL final since the franchise was established in 2022, highlighting their consistent performance over the years.

Sooryavanshi Breaks Major IPL Record

Earlier in the match, the Rajasthan Royals posted a commendable score of 214/6. The spotlight was on the young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who scored 96 runs off just 47 balls. His incredible performance made him the fastest player to reach 1,000 IPL runs, achieving this milestone in only 440 balls and breaking Andre Russell's previous record of 545 balls. He also made history by becoming the first player to score 500 runs in the Powerplay during a single IPL season.

After the early dismissals of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel, Sooryavanshi rebuilt the innings brilliantly alongside Ravindra Jadeja, who finished unbeaten at 45. Donovan Ferreira then provided a thrilling late surge, hitting four sixes off Rashid Khan in the final over, finishing with an impressive 38 runs off just 11 balls.

Shubman Gill Praises Batting Performance 

Gujarat Titans Skipper Shubman Gill said, “There was some confusion there (On the Toss Fiasco), but happy to get a win. I think we complement each other very well ( On Partnership with Sai Sudharsan). We understand each other's game very well. And when we are batting out there, our communication is very good. We know one of us has to take down one of the bowlers. And I think we are very good in deciding who's going to take down what bowler,” regarding the match.

“I'm very fortunate, you know, we got a target of 220. At one point it looked like we were gonna restrict them around 180-190, but we got a total and once we got off to a start, we spoke about, I actually wanted to finish the game, quite sad how I got out,” he added.

The cancellation of NEET-UG 2026 and transferring the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) by itself, according to the NTA, conveyed the seriousness with which examination sanctity is looked upon by itself as well as by the Union government.

Court Demands Responsibility In NEET

The court said that accountability needs to be fixed for such catastrophic fiascos that take place on the lives of lakhs of students.

“The real problem will not stop till there is actual accountability. Not in terms of so and so will be liable, it will be effective when we know which individual shoulders the responsibility. Unless you identify the specific duty-bearers, it will be difficult,” Justice Narasimha added.

Strict Security Measures For NEET

The National Testing Agency (NTA) told the Supreme Court that it had instituted wide structural and security reforms following the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak scam and cancellation of the examination.

A High-Powered Steering Committee (HPSC), in a meeting dated 17th April 2026, has analysed the preparation of NEET-UG 2026 and recommended an array of safeguards under various pre-examination, examination and post-examination phases.

CCTV Monitoring For NEET Centres

These measures include: compulsory CCTV checks and retention of footage for a minimum of 90 days, mock drills to be carried out in examination centers, weather contingency plans, checks on power backup systems, provision of emergency medical facilities, strict physical verification of centers a week prior to examination. Further, the HPSC suggested, there should be post-examination forensic examination of CCTVs to identify malicious activity.

Secure Transport Plan For Papers

Question paper trunks would be sent through India Post with chain-of-custody protocols. Question papers from the press would be transported to nodal hubs with Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), then to district custodians via India Post and further to examination centers with the District Police.

Further the affidavit has added that Confidential Operations (CONOPs) have been operationalized. Question paper setters will work in isolated rooms free from Internet/mobile access and a separate chamber will be dedicated for confidential work in the office.

Rajasthan Royals won the toss in Mullanpur, however it was only a re-spin. It was Shubman Gill who was the tipper, but Riyan Parag’s call did not carry enough noise for the match referee Prakash Bhatt, leaving everyone in shock. Ravi Shastri suddenly declared that the toss would be carried out again. The toss occurred this time around and RR went in to bat first.

Gill seemed a little frustrated by what had happened at the toss, saying he either would have elected to bat, too, and that it was unfortunate that the match referee couldn’t hear the call. On the first occasion, once the toss was taken off, it fell on tails (for GT) after Riyan called heads. 

Rajasthan Royals did not get a good start with a pair of quick wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel, but Ravindra Jadeja drew on all his experience to counterattack with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. In the nick of time the innings settled, Jadeja had to retire hurt, sending the Royals into a collapse between 101/2 and 118/5. 

Vaibhav hit a stunning 96 off 47 balls — as he kept attacking the bowlers. Jadeja came back to provide much-needed stability with some important contributions afterwards. Donovan Ferreira's devastating 38 off just 11 deliveries gave the Royals a late push that may be needed to bring some change. 

Gujarat Titans will regret the repeat of failure to realize in their crucial moments. Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada hit early in the Powerplay, and the shorter ball plan against Vaibhav Sooryavanshi appeared effective enough at first. Titans also held off well into the middle overs, with Jason Holder’s 2/27 topping the charge. But Sai Sudharsan’s late, failed catch on 46 proved costly as Sooryavanshi paid for it with a stunning knock prior to Rabada finally taking him out on 96. Rashid Khan had the last leg of the game left with Shubman Gill's trust, but the spinner conceded 27 runs — giving Titans the huge chase with a whole different ball game. 

RR arrived for this match with a strong 47-run victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Eliminator on May 27 at the same venue. GT, in contrast, will be trying to bounce back from a devastating 92-run loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Qualifier 1 on May 26. The Qualifier 2 winner will move into the IPL 2026 final against RCB at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 31 as scheduled. 

When it comes to head-to-head records, GT has the upper hand over RR. In the IPL, the two teams have played 10 times and Gujarat has won seven matches while Rajasthan managed to beat Gujarat three times.

There is a moment in every engineer's career that defines everything that comes after it.

For Vadeesh Budramane, that moment came somewhere inside the NHS Lorenzo project - the United Kingdom's flagship electronic health record platform and one of the largest, most complex healthcare IT deployments in British history. As the delivery lead for the India team, Budramane sat at the intersection of everything that can go wrong when software quality is treated as a downstream concern rather than a foundational one.

Delays. Defects discovered too late. Test cycles that could not keep pace with a system of staggering complexity. The cost - in time, in resources, in risk to patient outcomes - was not abstract. It was immediate.

"That project taught me something that I have never been able to unlearn," Budramane says. "When software fails in a healthcare environment, the consequences are not just technical. They are human. And the root cause, almost every time, is the same: testing that started too late, ran too slowly, and broke the moment the system changed."

He carried that lesson with him through subsequent senior leadership roles at CSC India and other corporates, managing enterprise technology at a scale few Indian engineering leaders have experienced. But in January 2018, he stepped into something that three decades of corporate leadership had never quite prepared him for.

He started from scratch.

The Problem That Would Not Go Away

AlgoShack was founded on a single, stubborn conviction: that software testing was not merely underperforming - it was architecturally broken.

The tools that most enterprise engineering teams relied on had been designed for a world of quarterly releases, manual scripting, and stable application environments. By 2018, that world no longer existed. Agile sprints compressed delivery to two-week cycles. DevOps pipelines demanded continuous integration. Applications were updated not annually but daily. And yet, the testing model - scripted, manual, resource-intensive - had not fundamentally changed in fifteen years.

"We were applying 2005 thinking to 2018 problems," Budramane says. "The gap was not going to close with more engineers. It was going to close with a different architecture entirely."

That architecture became algoQA - AlgoShack's flagship AI Augmented Autonomous Testing platform. Not AI-assisted. Not AI-enhanced. Autonomous. The distinction is one Budramane draws deliberately and repeatedly.

Where conventional automation tools require engineers to write scripts, maintain locators, and manually update test suites when applications change, algoQA generates test cases from a simple application profile and self-heals when the system it is testing evolves. The result: up to 80 percent reduction in testing costs, up to 80 percent reduction in testing cycle time, and more than 90 percent test coverage - without a single line of manual scripting.

Building Without a Safety Net

What makes AlgoShack's story unusual in the Indian SaaS ecosystem is not the technology. It is the discipline.

In a funding environment where valuation milestones and venture capital rounds define the startup narrative, AlgoShack has grown entirely on the strength of its delivery outcomes. Fifty-five percent compound annual growth rate. Four consecutive years. Zero external funding. Three hundred plus professionals. A workforce where more than 37 percent are women in engineering roles.

"I was not interested in building a company that needed a fundraiser to prove its value," Budramane says. "I was interested in building a company whose clients would prove its value for us."

That client-outcome obsession is reflected in AlgoShack's enterprise Net Promoter Score of 94 - a figure that places it in the company of the world's most trusted B2B technology platforms - and a SaaS NPS of 81. Both figures are independently tracked and consistently maintained.

The company is also building its intellectual property foundation with unusual seriousness for an Indian product startup. Two patents were published as on  May 2026, covering core innovations in autonomous test generation and auto-healing architecture. Four additional patents are in progress.

The Frontier

Today, AlgoShack is ranked 27th globally among more than 900 test automation companies. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification alongside IEC 62304 and ISO 14971 attestations - credentials that make algoQA one of the few autonomous testing platforms in India cleared for deployment in regulated medical device software environments.

Enterprise clients across MedTech, Banking and FinTech, Retail and Digital Commerce, and Enterprise Software verticals have deployed algoQA at scale. The platform is rated 4.9 out of 5 on G2 and 5 out of 5 on SoftwareSuggest - independently, by the engineers who use it daily.

Vadeesh Budramane is 35 years into a career defined by the belief that software quality is not a phase in the development lifecycle. It is the lifecycle.

From the corridors of NHS Lorenzo to the engineering floors of a Bengaluru product company rewriting how the world tests software - the conviction has not changed.

The platform built to carry it has.

Vadeesh Budramane is the Founder and CEO of AlgoShack Technologies, a Bengaluru-based AI product company and developer of algoQA - India's leading AI Augmented Autonomous Testing platform. AlgoShack Technologies is headquartered in Bengaluru, India.

Most founders have not.

That single gap, the distance between building a product and watching it function inside a real clinical environment, explains more health tech failures than any funding shortage, regulatory hurdle, or competitive threat combined.

I say this not as an observer, but as someone who has sat on both sides of the table. In 2017, I co-founded Caredose in New Delhi to solve medication non-adherence, a problem the WHO estimates costs the global healthcare system $637 billion annually. We built technology we were proud of. We raised capital. We partnered with institutes such as Max Hospitals, WHO, USAID, and the Gates Foundation. And then we walked into our first pharmacy chain and discovered that our elegant solution had one fundamental problem: it was designed around how we thought healthcare worked, not how it actually did.

That lesson took months to unlearn. It ultimately made Caredose better — we grew medicine adherence from under 50% to above 80% for our provider partners and achieved a successful exit. But the friction cost us time and resources we could not afford to waste. I have watched dozens of startups at Cedars-Sinai Technology Ventures, where I have now led over $20 million in institutional investments across 10+ companies. Our ambition is to ensure that they don’t make the exact same mistake, as it often leaves them without the runway to recover from it.

The Real Failure Mode: Technology-First, Patient-Last

The pattern is remarkably consistent. A founder identifies a genuine clinical problem. They build technically impressive software or hardware to address it. They secure pilots. The pilots produce promising data. And then— nothing. Adoption stalls, the hospital moves on. The startup runs out of money, wondering what went wrong.

What went wrong is almost always the same thing: the product was built to solve a technology problem, not a human behaviour problem.

Healthcare is not a rational system. It is an ecosystem of competing pressures, physicians managing 30-minute appointment windows, nurses following workflows designed decades ago, patients navigating fear and confusion alongside complex treatment regimens, and hospital administrators balancing budget cycles with clinical outcomes. A product that does not fit seamlessly into this reality, regardless of how good its algorithm is, will not be adopted.

At Caredose, we learned that getting a patient to take their medication on time was less about our IoT device and more about how the pharmacist explained it. The technology was 20% of the solution. The human trust layer was 80%.

Three Things Founders Must Do Differently

First, spend time in the workflow before you build for it. Not customer discovery calls, but actual observation. Sit in a hospital ward. Watch a pharmacy counter during peak hours. Understand where the friction lives before you decide where your solution fits.

Second, find your physician champion before you find your investor. In every health tech deal I have evaluated at Cedars-Sinai, the presence of an internal clinical advocate has been the single strongest predictor of adoption success. An investor can fund your technology. A physician champion can actually deploy it.

Third, treat patient behaviour as a design constraint, not a post-launch problem. Non-adherence, dropout, and low engagement— these are not user failures; they are design failures. Build the human trust layer into your product from day one, not as a feature update after your pilot.

What Must Change

India is producing exceptional health tech founders, technically rigorous, globally ambitious, and deeply motivated. What the ecosystem lacks is the infrastructure to help these founders stress-test their products against clinical reality before they go to market.

More hospital-founder partnerships. More operator-investors who have navigated both the startup and the clinical environment. More honest post-mortems from founders who built great technology that never reached a single patient.

The health tech problem worth solving in India is not a shortage of innovation. It is the last mile. And until we fix it, we will keep building brilliant solutions that fail quietly inside corridors the founders never walked.

The IPL 2026 playoffs are reaching their biggest moment as Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Gujarat Titans (GT) prepare for a massive Qualifier 2 clash. The winner of this match will directly face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2026 final.

RCB already booked their place in the final after defeating Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1. Now, GT will get one more chance to stay alive in the tournament, while RR will look to continue their impressive playoff run.

RCB Enter Final After Dominating GT

RCB looked unstoppable in Qualifier 1. Rajat Patidar played a stunning innings and completely changed the game with his aggressive batting. Virat Kohli and Krunal Pandya also gave strong support at the top.

RCB’s bowling attack performed brilliantly as well. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jacob Duffy created pressure from the beginning and helped the team secure a huge win.

After years of heartbreak, RCB fans are now dreaming of winning the trophy again. 

Gujarat Titans Want Strong Comeback

Even after losing to RCB, Gujarat Titans remain one of the strongest teams in IPL 2026. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have been in excellent form throughout the season.

GT’s biggest problem, however, has been their middle-order batting. In the last match against RCB, the team collapsed badly after losing early wickets.

Still, Gujarat Titans have experienced players who know how to handle pressure matches. Their bowling lineup with Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj can trouble any batting order on their day.

Rajasthan Royals Carry Big Momentum

Rajasthan Royals are entering the match with confidence and momentum. Young players like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal have played fearless cricket this season.

Riyan Parag has also delivered important performances in the middle order, while Jofra Archer’s pace attack has strengthened the bowling unit.

RR’s aggressive batting style could become their biggest weapon against Gujarat Titans.

Biggest Battle to Watch in RR vs GT

The main battle in this match will be RR’s explosive batting against GT’s powerful bowling attack.

If Rajasthan Royals get a strong start in the power play, they can put Gujarat under pressure quickly. On the other hand, GT bowlers will try to stop RR’s young batters early in the innings.

Fans are especially excited to watch the contest between Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and GT’s pace bowlers.

Who Will Face RCB in IPL 2026 Final?

Both teams have strong chances of reaching the final.

Gujarat Titans have more playoff experience and a balanced squad. But Rajasthan Royals have momentum and fearless young players.

This makes the Qualifier 2 clash extremely exciting and difficult to predict.

One thing is certain — the winner will face a confident RCB side in what could become one of the biggest IPL finals in recent years.

Former Competition Commission of India (CCI) chairman Dhanendra Kumar dies in a fire, Delhi House Fire. Former Competition Commission of India (CCI) chairman Dhanendra Kumar dies among victims of fire at Hauz Khas home, the emergency and services sector had received serious scrutiny after deadly fire accident in Delhi. The 79-year-old retired bureaucrat died on Thursday after reportedly inhaling heavy smoke from a fire that began late Wednesday night. The blaze is thought to have started when an air-conditioner exploded in a room in the house, police said. Family, staff and neighbours said fire brigade teams arrived around 50 minutes after the fire broke out, prompting anger and frustration among local residents. Neighbours Attempted to Manage the Fire. Hauz Khas Enclave residents said they desperately tried to extinguish the blaze before firefighters arrived. To put out the fire they used water pipes, buckets and anything accessible. One neighbor said no fire extinguishers were in close proximity at the time and the situation got worse. “We were doing everything and there was no fire extinguisher. We had also messaged the local RWA group to request help.” She also challenged the limited emergency facilities even though this was a well-established colony. “If such delays,” which could happen for someone who served in such a senior government position, “will happen to the average citizen?” she added. How the Fire Started. Police investigators said they believe the fire started with an explosion inside the indoor unit of an AC installed in the room of Kumar’s son, Gourav. Kumar was at home with his wife, son and two domestic helpers when the incident occurred. The fire spread very quickly after the AC blast, the family manager said. Kumar was said to have got trapped in a washroom and then had been found unconscious due to smoke inhalation. He had no burn injuries. First, his son Gourav helped his wheelchair-bound mother escape safely. Then he returned inside the burning house accompanied by domestic staff to find his father. Ultimately, the group pulled Kumar out but by then, Kumar was unconscious. Kumar and Gourav were also brought to AIIMS Trauma Centre. Gourav was reported to have been in no danger, but Kumar died the following morning. Questions Raised Over Delay by Fire Brigade. Delhi has seen serious criticisms once more of its emergency response system and its preparedness in case of fire incidents. Local residents claimed that the firefighters turned up a long time after numerous calls to reach out to them. Officers and emergency services rushed to the scene right at once, Delhi Police officials said, after the PCR call. No foul play is suspected, authorities said. A further electrical inspection will then identify the actual cause of the fire and the alleged AC explosion. Since this shocking incident has occurred, residents have called for better emergency response infrastructure, quicker fire management times, and improved fire warning in household buildings. But many more residents did not want the incident to happen again: and it still is.

A tragic story involving a young Indian student living in Canada left a family in Gujarat heartbroken and trying to get closure. A 22-year-old student from Gujarat’s Anand district, Vidhi Megha, was stabbed to death in broad daylight in Canada almost 15 days ago, but her family says they are still waiting for her body to be taken back to India for final rites. May 15: Vidhi Megha, a Borsad native of Gujarat, was attacked at St. Catharines in Niagara area of Canada. A knife was apparently stabbed her by an unnamed offender, a striking public event, the report states. She died from wounds that were so severe that it could not be helped by anyone nearby. Her father, Kalpeshbhai Megha, appealed to the Indian government and authorities to assist with bringing his daughter’s body home as soon as possible. 

The family, he said, simply wants to carry out her final rites in India and farewell her accordingly. “I only ask for fast restoration of my daughter’s body back to India to perform her last rites,” he said before ANI. The grieving family says they have not been given enough help or updates from their Canadian counterparts. Even after nearly 15 days, the family cannot see her body anymore, Vidhi’s aunt, Snehal, said. She spoke to frustration at officials for not communicating and cooperating. Vidhi’s relatives living in Canada, she said, are getting only updates via e-mail—which is not reassuring, and adds to the pressures on the family. Vidhi moved to Canada about three years ago to study for higher education and was also working part-time to make ends meet. 

Her father said that she had signed up on a three-year Business Management course, where she took part in a Personal Support Worker (PSW) honours course. “She sacrificed for her education and future. “She had dreams of building a successful career,” her father said emotionally. The tragic murder has shocked the Indian community in Canada and people living back home of Gujarat. Following the incident, local MLA Ramanbhai Solanki supposedly went to the family and assured them of having notified the Chief Minister’s Office and the Prime Minister’s Office regarding Vidhi’s family’s request and the need for the speedy return of Vidhi’s mortal remains. 

At the same time, Canadian police are investigating the murder. However, officials have yet to release information concerning the suspect or a potential motive for the attack. The case is now under continuing investigation by authorities and physical evidence is being gathered. The incident once again brought Indian students studying abroad into alarm over the safety of their surroundings. Thousands of Indian students leave for Canada annually and live elsewhere overseas in hopes of studying abroad. Such incidents cause fear and grief in families. Vidhi’s family sit in suffering disbelief and wait for some time until they can finally bring their daughter home.

A shocking tragedy has rocked Maharashtra after at least 13 people reportedly died due to suspected spurious liquor consumption in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. Scared residents panic at the news, while police, excise officials and forensic experts launch a massive investigation. Officials said eight deaths have been reported from the Phugewadi area in Pimpri-Chinchwad within 24 hours. Seven died on Thursday and another late Wednesday night. Plus, four residents are being treated in hospitals and are said to be in critical condition. 

Five more deaths were reported in Pune city, and three were from Kale Padal and two from Hadapsar. Local residents attribute the deaths to the consumption of street-level illegal and toxic liquor sold in the area. Police officials said that the exact cause of death will only be determined after forensic and post-mortem reports are made. Authorities advised people to refrain from spreading rumours until medical investigations are completed, authorities said. Investigators learned that others claimed to have similar symptoms before they collapsed. 

They also suffered from complaints of dizziness, difficulty breathing, frothing at the mouth, feeling ill-at-ease, agitation and a sudden drop in heart rate. Those symptoms are frequently attributed to methanol toxicity, a hazardous chemical occasionally mixed with illegal liquor. The police believe that close to 215 litres of methanol could have been mixed with country liquor, which was distributed throughout Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. Methanol is extremely hazardous and even small doses can cause blindness, organ failure or death. 

The investigation unearthed, on the one hand, what seems to be a large illegal liquor production and distribution network operating in Pune district. The investigation has been turned to Yogesh Wankhede, an alleged bootlegger with criminal records. Across Pune, police were able to conduct raids at several linkages in the liquor supply chain while identifying and arresting multiple suspects. Police teams are now tracking distributors, suppliers and the exact source of the seized liquor. Not all deaths might be attributed to alcohol use, the Pimpri-Chinchwad Police, however, said. Preliminary investigations on family members of four deceased individuals indicated that they were not alcohol drinkers and one was a regular drinker, according to one witness. Officers said each case was being studied independently. 

They are asking citizens not to push rumors or panic until official reports arrive. And the incident has sounded alarm bells about monitoring and regulation of methanol sales in Maharashtra. Experts think inadequate monitoring of industrial chemicals might have played a role in the death toll. Regulators, including the FDA, will probably become subject to inquiries on supervision and safety inspections. 

A tragic reminder yet again of the perils of buying illegal liquor and a pressing necessity to enforce tougher enforcement of bootlegging schemes. As investigations proceed, the families of the victims are making demands for the firm enforcement of punishment against the perpetrators of the deadly supply. As post-mortem and forensic reports go up, details are expected to emerge, authorities said.

India, in the first match of their Women’s T20I series against England, opened the match in a magnificent spectacle with a 38-run victory. The Indian side played up their all-around game and dazzled fans with strong batting, disciplined bowling and energetic fielding. Jemimah Rodrigues and young talent Nandani Sharma were the biggest stars of the game giving India a momentous victory over England. India won the toss and chose to bat first. 

This led to the start being consistent for the team with the likes of early batters, however, it was Jemimah Rodrigues who was to take the game in her confidently aggressive and assertive innings. She hit elegant shots all over the ground and kept the scoreboard functioning with boundaries at critical moments. Nandani Sharma also grabbed attention with her fearless batting performance. The youngster was so much more mature than her age and helped support the innings beautifully. She came in attacking her team, allowing India to compile a strong total that put pressure on the England bowlers. Indian batting seemed confident all the way through the innings. Smart running between wickets and powerful hitting in the middle overs helped the team score a tricky number. 

It soon became difficult for England’s bowlers to block the flow of runs as Indian batters asserted themselves. England, with enthusiasm only, was responding with a more positive head-on start, but lost wickets quickly to India’s disciplined bowling attack. Indian bowlers kept their lines short and their lengths rigid and it was tough for England batters to score freely. Turning points also resulted from India's pick up of quick wickets during the middle overs and England completely losing all chance during its last game in any game. 

Fielders also gave a supportive playing style, with some extraordinary catches made by some very sharp fielders. England tried to recover through partnerships, however, the required run rate was getting higher and higher. Indian bowlers stayed calm and held the game until the last overs. Finally, England lost by 38 runs to allow India a significant triumph in the inaugural T20I, so that Indian women’s cricket teams were buoyed before the next series matches. And the success of young players like Nandani Sharma also brightens prospects for Indian women’s cricket. 

Supporters and experts in cricket lauded India’s balanced team effort. Jemimah Rodrigues received special praise for the match-winning knock, and Nandani Sharma was celebrated for her fearless approach under pressure. The win also underscores India’s emerging power in women’s cricket on the world stage. With both seasoned players and young stars proving up to the plate, the team now appears far stronger and more confident than ever. And India will now look forward to playing in the next series with England, hoping to finish the series with a memorable outing.

Dowry Death And Cruelty Charges Filed

CBI investigators visited Giribala Singh’s house on Thursday at about 10:30 AM and interrogated her for hours before arresting her around 5:10 PM. 

Serious allegations against her are based on Section 80(2) (Dowry death), Section 85 (Cruelty by husband or relatives of the husband to a woman), Section 3(5) (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention), besides Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. 

High Court Cancels Anticipatory Bail Relief

Her arrest comes after MP High Court canceled her anticipatory bail application and set aside the relief granted to her on 15 May, by the 10th Additional Sessions Judge, Bhopal. 

Advocate General of Madhya Pradesh Prashant Singh said, “The High Court has taken serious note of certain observations in the case, like seven antemortem injuries on the body of Twisha Sharma, indicating towards a serious crime, non-cooperation by Giribala Singh despite several notices and WhatsApp chats indicating mental harassment of Twisha Sharma. Looking at all this, the High Court has rejected the anticipatory bail of Giribala Singh. Now, it is up to the CBI to decide whether or not a custodial interrogation needs to be done." 

HC Raises Concerns over Evidence Tampering

The HC had noticed that statements of parents of Twisha and her other relatives are saying that from the first day of investigation it was Samarth Singh and Giribala Singh who were harassing Twisha. The HC is deeply concerned about this statement which says Giribala Singh, a retired judicial officer well versed in cyber crime, cyber forensic and crime scene management, has used her judicial training to manipulate the evidence to control investigation. 

Earlier on Wednesday, a court in Bhopal sent Twisha Sharma’s husband Samarth Singh to CBI custody. Samarth was then taken to Giribala Singh's house in Katara Hills by a CBI team to have more insights for investigations.

CBI Takes Over Twisha Sharma Death Probe

On Monday, CBI assumed the lead in the investigation launched into the death of the former model-actor Twisha Sharma. On May 12, she was discovered hanging at her matrimonial house in Bhopal. The agency subsequently re-registered the FIR, which was previously filed by Madhya Pradesh Police, against Samarth Singh and Giribala Singh. 

pIndus Net Technologies, oerating globally as INT. is that company. And after nearly three decades of building steadily, its relevance is becoming harder to ignore.

The Sectors That Cannot Afford to Get Technology Wrong

India's BFSI sector is undergoing its most consequential technology transition in a generation. The industry’s market cap is at ₹91 trillion ($1.1 trillion+), with India's fintech adoption rate standing at 87%, far above the global average of 67%. Digital payments alone may cross $10 trillion by 2026, driven by UPI, Aadhaar, and mobile penetration. Yet beneath these headline numbers, a structural gap persists. Indian BFSI entities currently allocate just 3 to 5% of revenue to technology, against global peers spending 8 to 10%. The platforms processing India's banking transactions are frequently running on architecture built for a different era.

Pharma faces a parallel reckoning. India's pharmaceutical sector, valued at nearly $65 billion, supplies approximately 20% of the world's generic medicines — and aspires to build a $130 billion market by 2030. The global pharma digital transformation market, valued at $18.4 billion in 2023, is expected to reach $45.2 billion by 2030, with 63% of pharma CEOs now citing digital transformation as a top priority for revenue growth. But HCP engagement platforms, pharmacovigilance workflows, and supply chain systems in most Indian pharma companies remain fragmented, legacy-dependent, and unready for the AI era.

These two sectors, high stakes, high complexity, and chronically under-digitised, are precisely where INT. has built its deepest delivery expertise.

What 28 Years of Enterprise Delivery Actually Looks Like

Founded in Kolkata in 1997 by Abhishek Rungta with a ₹50 investment and a conviction that Indian technology talent could serve global enterprises, INT. has grown into a 1,100+ professional enterprise operating across 45 countries from six global offices. It has delivered for IndusInd Bank, SBI General Insurance, DCB Bank, Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance, and Ageas Insurance (UK) in BFSI, and for Cipla in Life Sciences, among a 500+ client portfolio spanning Tesco, Honeywell, and Somax Inc. (USA).

The outcomes are not theoretical. A multilingual offline-ready portal built for SBI General Insurance delivered a 62% reduction in support requests and a 3x increase in claim tracker adoption among policyhold or Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance, INT. automated the sales performance MIS process, eliminating manual reporting that had c ers in Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets. A website redesign for DCB Bank produced a 70% improvement in mobile usability and a 40% reduction in bounce rate. For Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance, INT. automated the sales performance MIS process, eliminating manual reporting that had consumed dozens of hours of leadership time each week. For Ageas Insurance (UK), INT. built a mature product from scratch, now deployed at hundreds of sites across Europe.

These are not case studies. They are operating metrics inside India's most scrutinised financial institutions.

The Full-Stack Difference

What distinguishes INT. from the niche vendors that crowd India's enterprise technology market is the breadth of capability delivered under a single partnership. Leading pharma companies are now embedding AI, automation, and digital twins into every layer of the enterprise, connecting R&D, manufacturing, commercial, and supply chain into a single responsive network. INT.'s Life Sciences practice, anchored by its Cipla engagement, is precisely positioned to deliver that integration without the client managing multiple vendor relationships.

Recognised five consecutive times as a Great Place to Work, ranked in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 and Fast 500 Asia Pacific, and now a pre-IPO company with DRHP filed in 2024, INT. is entering a new chapter, with the same foundational conviction Abhishek Rungta had in 1997: that technology is only worth building if it makes a measurable difference to the business it serves.

For India's banks, insurers, and pharma companies, that difference has been quietly compounding for nearly three decades.

INT. (Indus Net Technologies) is a full-stack digital transformation company headquartered in Kolkata, India. With 1,100+ professionals, 500+ enterprise clients across 45 countries. INT. delivers AI, Cloud, Cybersecurity, Digital Engineering, and Customer Experience solutions for BFSI, Life Sciences, and Retail enterprises. Learn more at intglobal.com.

The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Milind Gunaji, Zarina Wahab, Mushtaq Khan, and many others. Directed by Rakesh Sawant, the film is produced by Shweta Chauhan, Bhanwar Singh Pundir, and Rakesh Sawant.

One of the biggest highlights of the evening was the heartfelt tribute by Rakhi Sawant, who delivered a special, never-before-seen performance dedicated to Asrani Ji, celebrating his unforgettable contribution to Indian cinema. Her emotional act left the audience nostalgic and deeply moved.

The trailer received an overwhelming response from the media and attendees for its gripping narrative, powerful performances, and commercial entertainment value. The film revolves around a dark and intense murder mystery involving Thakur Vishwajeet Singh and Sawatei, whose family conflicts spiral into shocking crimes and suspenseful revelations. The investigation is led by Inspector Dev and Inspector Rana, taking audiences through a thrilling journey packed with drama, romance, action, music, and suspense.

Rahul Gandhi and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan have sparked a huge political dispute concerning CBSE On-Screen Marking (OSM). The beef has escalated into a vicious verbal battle as both leaders have publicly criticized the Class 12 board exam results, as well as rumors of irregularities. The controversy stems from Rahul Gandhi calling out tampering and irregularity in the CBSE Class 12 results. He called into question the transparency of the On-Screen Marking system, and called for accountability, saying the issue had impacted the futures of nearly 18.5 lakh students across India. 

In reaction, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan assailed Rahul Gandhi saying he was toxic and demoralizing him due to repeated electoral defeats. Pradhan further claimed that the Congress leader has been consistently opposed to crucial national developments like Digital India, EVMs and many more. Rahul Gandhi appears to be “in a different state of mind,” Pradhan said, and he is trying to confuse the people rather than taking the initiative to help students during an extremely sensitive moment. He urged political leaders to ease students' pressure to fear test results. ‘He seems exasperated with repeated electoral losses. 

He has not backed anything like EVMs, Digital India, some other technologies. This is no time for politics,” Pradhan said. Soon thereafter, Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the Union Minister, saying personal attacks would not deter him from raising questions in the interest of students. He added he is focused on making the CBSE examination in India transparent and looking after the future of lakhs of the country's students. Rahul Gandhi also criticised the awarding of the CBSE OSM contract to a company called COEMPT which he said had previously been brought to the fore under another name, but which had been embroiled in various controversies. 

He accused either the government would have failed to do adequate background checks or that they would have intentionally neglected any concerns about that oversight. “On either side you either didn’t check the background or you dismissed it. “In either scenario, you are the one to blame,” Gandhi said, and calling on the government to be accountable. He also went after the Prime Minister, arguing that if he really cared for the students, he would’ve taken all the necessary steps already. 

Dharmendra Pradhan ji, you can attack me all you want but it won’t absolve you of your crimes. Nor will it stop me from demanding answers for 18.5 lakh children.

Why was the CBSE OSM contract handed to COEMPT - a company already mired in controversy under its old name,… https://t.co/Xy8MbBTnTL

— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) May 28, 2026

Gandhi stated: Responsibility for the alleged irregularities has to be established at all levels. While the politicians had the finger-pointing incident, Dharmendra Pradhan, later acknowledged that certain inconsistencies existed during the CBSE result process. He said the government accepts responsibility and has assented to correcting shortcomings to address student grievances. Pradhan also stated the revaluation of Class 12 exams is in process. He declared the leading authorities including IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras were engaged with monitoring and reviewing the OSM technology system to promote fairness and transparency. 

It goes on to say those questions of student would be answered and that “accountability at every level of the examination system will be guaranteed.” The CBSE OSM row has now emerged as a great battleground because it raises concerns about exams, student welfare and the extent to which technology has been integrated into India’s education system. The situation is under scrutiny from students and parents as sharply exchanged views between both sides continue.

Such a spree was a reported one in Mankhurd, Deonar, and Govandi and places like that, he added. They may have occurred although slaughterhouses and trade markets were announced closer by, he said. Somaiya also called on the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Mumbai Police to conduct a proper enforcement of all the rules during the festival. He also claimed that qurbani was occurring in residential societies and housing complexes, which he claimed breaks guidelines now in place. BMC Action in Mumbai.

About Bakrid (Eid-Al-Adha). Bakrid, also known as Eid-Al-Adha or the Festival Of Sacrifice is one of Islam’s most significant religious holidays. Muslims worldwide observe this with prayers, charity and sacrifice. The festival commemorates the willingness to sacrifice the son of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) according to God's injunction. It means faith, dedication, worship and submission to God. Bakrid coincides with the completion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. It begins on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The Islamic calendar follows the lunar rhythm, and therefore the date of Bakrid changes every year in the Gregorian calendar, 10 or 11 days earlier, per year. The festival is often seen as a season of compassion and sharing or bonding amongst a community. This time is the occasion where people put food into the hands of the needy and socialize.

Indian shooter Esha Singh made history at the ISSF World Cup in Munich where she won Gold in the Women’s 25m pistol tournament, setting a new world record score of 43.

Esha, who is just 21 years old, beat some of the top shooters all over the world - including the Paris Olympic champion Yang Jinn of South Korea, who completed her rounds in the final by finishing up fifth. German former world champion Doreen Vennekamp won 38 points at silver, and Esha came far ahead after dominating in the final.

With this record, Esha broke the last world record of 42 set by Kim Yeji in 2024. The whole time in a title-winning match, no matter how high-level or weak, she shot off guard. Esha said she is always concentrating more on her own performance than that of the world big names. The Women’s 25m pistol is one of the most difficult shooting disciplines. Shooters have only three seconds to raise the pistol, aim, and then shoot the target in the rapid-fire stage. Esha won first prize as a 10m air pistol player but began training for the 25m pistol event in 2022 with coach Ronak Pandit. Her coach developed a new method where she slowly lifts the pistol and releases the shot with ease instead of freezing before kicking in.

The tactic paid off in Munich. Esha was unglazed in the opening rounds and won both rounds, finishing up the Gold gold medal with a stunning last series that saw her take her to a world record score in its final which took place in a world championship final series. This is not Esha’s first international victory in any event. Last year, she won a silver medal in the World Cup in Argentina and a bronze at Cairo’s World Championships. Earlier this year, she became the Asian champion as well. At the World Championships in Doha later this year and the country’s Olympic qualification candidates, Esha Singh is now coming up as one of India’s biggest medal hopes for Los Angeles. Her rise from a kid shooter to world record-holder in four years for the entire country has made everyone patriotic.

Sooryavanshi was at the door to making history by scoring 97 from 29 deliveries, a sum that could have meant he scored the fastest century of all time in IPL. It was one of the deadliest knocks in IPL playoff history. 

Sooryavanshi Breaks Gayle’s Six-Hitting Record

The left-handed opener was sensational with his 97 off only 29 deliveries, where he hit 12 sixes and 5 fours on a magnificent strike rate of over 334, a knock that took RR to a total of 243/8 in 20 overs. While he narrowly missed a ton, Vaibhav became the first batsman to hit a record number of sixes in a single IPL season (Chris Gayle had 59 in 2012), when he rose as IPL 2026’s breakout figure. 

Sooryavanshi narrowly missed another record, this time with the fastest century in IPL. Chris Gayle still held the record of hitting his ton in 30 balls, but the 15-year-old fell short on 97 off 29 deliveries. 

Chris Gayle Applauds Vaibhav’s Innings

The wicket received many responses from the cricket fraternity as many thought he was about to pen yet another chapter in IPL history, only to get out at the last minute. Gayle himself did post an acknowledgment of Vaibhav’s record-breaking performance and congratulated the RR youngster after a knock took his team to the playoffs. 

“What a phenomenal player Vaibhav is. Great entertainment young man! New Six machine," Gayle said on social media platform X.

Rayudu Predicts First T20 Double Century

Former India cricketer Ambati Rayudu praised the teen and mentioned that Vaibhav could be the first player in T20 history to score 200 runs in an innings. 

He said, "I think a 200 is around the corner. If he keeps going this way, we'll see a 200 very soon. He has not premeditated a single ball except for one ball where he tried to reverse sweep in one of those games earlier. Other than that, he just seems to watch the ball and react to it. His talent is so good that he can react to any ball the way he has been reacting. He's hitting everything for a six,” on ESPNCricinfo.

Vaibhav Leads Orange Cap Race

Vaibhav debuted in IPL last year and immediately drew headlines with a 35-ball century on the big stage. But, this season the 15-year-old has become a hero in the IPL. Now he is at the top of the Orange Cap standings with 680 runs in 15 matches at an average of 45.33 with a jaw-dropping strike rate of 242.85.

In Kerala, Muslims observed Eid-ul-Adha or Bakra Eid celebration on May 28, 2026, with prayers and family gatherings taking place. Another statement given in Thiruvananthapuram was a message that is going viral online for Islamic scholar VP Suhaib Moulavi during the celebrations during Eid prayers. Special Eid-ul-Adha prayers were held at Kerala’s capital, Palayam Juma Masjid. In the aftermath prayers, VP Suhaib Moulavi stressed to the worshippers on the importance of inter-communal peace, mutual respect and the unity in the face of adversity. 

According to the religious scholar, people are trying different things to divide society according to caste and religion and people should unite against this kind of division. Moulavi noted that no one religion teaches hatred and every community is worthy of mutual respect. "When society is being torn apart, we must remain unified as one. No religion teaches hatred for others,” Moulavi said during the address. His speech was amplified when he asked people not to insult or hurt the religious beliefs of other communities. Alluding to the recent disputes around non-vegetarian cuisine during Vishu festivals, he asked for people not to take action to hurt feelings, even as a joke. “We need to honor all of the community sentiments. One ought never to insult what other people revere,” he said, and was regarded by many as a man of the world in his balanced, calm delivery. 

Moulavi also condemned public festivities which included the display of slaughtered goat heads during Bakra Eid celebrations. He would stress that we need to respect this, and not create trouble, discomfort, in society at festivals." The scholar emphasized that students must receive value-based education, in addition to their communal harmony. Education shouldn’t stop at technical knowledge, and young people need development of culture, discipline, and good character, he said. “Students shouldn’t be limited to technical knowledge alone. They must also value and be responsible citizens with strong character,” he said. Moulavi had also voiced his alarm about the increasing incursion of drugs and drug use among youth during the course of his speech. He welcomed the efforts of Kerala government and the Department of Home to contain the problem of drugs, which he feels is well-researched. 

He mentioned, in particular, “Operation Toofan,” an anti-drug organization, and prayed for its role in shielding society and youth from narcotics. “Drug addiction is an epidemic and society must help maintain some control of drug abuse in the young adult years,” he cautioned. The scholar lauded current youth for being socially as well politically conscious even with more time they spent online and on social media channels. Young people should never be underestimated, he said, because they really understand current social and political issues. At the end of speech, Moulavi prayed for peace in areas affected by conflicts, including Iran and Palestine, and desired peace in every world. Eid-ul-Adha (or ‘Festival of Sacrifice’) is one of Islam’s most fundamental festivals. It celebrates the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim in response to God while being symbolic of faith, devotion, charity and compassion. 

Coinciding on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah — the last month of the Islamic lunar calendar — the festival is also considered the completion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. The date is also adjusted to suit the lunar calendar. Bakra Eid is a time for forgiveness, kindness, charity, uniting in family, and in the broader sense of social integration

His elder brother not only fulfilled his duties as a sibling but also, acting as a Guru, empowered him by imparting instruction in Vedic rituals and complex ceremonial rites. Recalling that phase of his life when he had the opportunity to join the Central Services, he clarified that his unwavering commitment to public welfare and the preservation of Sanatan Dharma inspired him to remain steadfast on this spiritual path.

On Wednesday, May 27, 2026, Anik Dutta, a celebrated Bengali director, was found dead at his house in Kolkata. The unexpected death of the acclaimed filmmaker has left the Bengali film industry and film audience all over the country reeling in a state of profound shock. He was 66 years old. It was reported that the incident occurred at his wife’s home located in the Hindustan Park area in south Kolkata. Family members rushed him to a nearby private hospital, but doctors declared him dead shortly after he arrived.

The following days, Kolkata Police filed a case of unnatural death and launched an investigation into the mysterious circumstances of his death. Police officials have not settled on whether foul play was involved. None of the family or authorities issued any official statement until late Wednesday night. His body was transferred to SSKM Hospital later on for post-mortem examination. Anik Dutta’s wife and daughter survive him. It’s also expected his last rites take place Thursday in Kolkata. 

The filmmaker made his way in Bengal as the result of the enormous success enjoyed by his first film Bhooter Bhabishyat in 2012. The movie received praise for its witty dialogue, political satire, and unique storytelling style. Even now, much of the dialogue from the film resonates well with Bengali viewers after more than a decade. The success of Bhooter Bhabishyat even inspired the Hindi remake by late filmmaker Satish Kaushik called Gang Of Ghosts. While Anik Dutta’s films Borunbabur Bondhu (2020), Aparajito (2022) and recently Joto Kando Kolkatatei (2025) became the most critically respected titles of his career. Aparajito is the film inspired by the life and journey of Indian director Satyajit Ray, which was widely acclaimed by critics and movie enthusiasts. 

A Left-leaning politician, Anik Dutta was known for his open social and political comments. He was also particularly outspoken in his attacks against former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. In 2019, his film Bhobishyoter Bhoot had been widely condemned across West Bengal for its satirical political material and had problems going out in various West Bengal cinema houses. As word of his death circulated, political leaders, actors and directors and fans expressed condolences. West Bengal leader Suvendu Adhikari expressed his grief and called Anik Dutta’s contribution to Bengali cinema “priceless.” CPI(M) chiefs Mohammad Salim and Satarup Ghosh also went to the hospital to commemorate the director. 

Debolina Dutta, the actress, said the director had had mental health and mental challenges in recent years. Director Kaushik Ganguly; actor Rudranil Ghosh; actor Jeetu Kamal; actress Manashi Sinha, and other celebrities were witnessed in the hospital. Ironically, Anik Dutta had just turned a birthday on May 22 days ago and had posted pictures of himself that evoked nostalgia on social media. Aside from film, Anik Dutta also grew up in a good family background. He was the grandson of Narendra Chandra Dutta, the founder of United Bank of India. Anik Dutta leaves a legacy that Bengali cinema will always remember with brilliant narratives, political jabs and memorable classics..

Rajasthan Royals Score 243 Runs

The star of the match was Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who made a sensational impact after arriving early to the game. His explosive innings of 97 runs off just 29 balls completely dismantled the Sunrisers' bowling attack and set the stage for the Royals' success. Dhruv Jurel also played a crucial role in maintaining the team's momentum from the middle order. However, the Royals stumbled after Jurel's departure, finishing their innings at 243 for 8.

Hyderabad Top Order Fails

In response, Hyderabad had a daunting target of 244 runs but were bowled out for 196 in just 19.2 overs, despite some spirited performances in the middle order. Abhishek Sharma's early dismissal for a duck was a significant blow to their chances. Ishan Kishan showed promise but fell victim to Jofra Archer, who then added to his tally by claiming Travis Head’s wicket.

With the top three back in the pavilion, all eyes were on Heinrich Klaasen, but Yash Raj Punja's dismissal of him put Sunrisers firmly on the back foot. As wickets continued to fall, Hyderabad's hopes dwindled, and they were ultimately all out for 196. 

Parag Praises Bowlers For Effort

Riyan Parag, Rajasthan Royals captain said, “Yeah, a good game. Again, I think I like to be a perfectionist. I know it's not going to be a perfect game altogether. But even today, we should have gotten 260, right? So a bit to work on that. How to finish off innings after we get a start like Vaibhav did. But with the ball, I think I was really impressed. I think we held our calm. They got a lot of runs in the second over or the first, once Ishan and Travis added a few boundaries, but I think we came back really well and a good performance altogether,” regarding the win.

Court Orders Document Disclosure

The Singapore court ordered Raveendran to present himself before the authorities, pay S$90,000 for legal expenses and produce documents proving he owns Beeaar Investco Pte, a company that held stakes in a related firm, reported Bloomberg.

The verdict is the first significant legal setback for the founder of Byju's, which was once India's most valued startup and is grappling with investor disputes, debt litigation and operational problems amid an ongoing post-pandemic decline.

Byju's Founder Denies Any Wrongdoing Claims

Raveendran said in a statement after the ruling that settlement talks with lenders and investors like GLAS Trust and QIA were close to conclusion and termed the legal action an unnecessary escalation.

“The lenders, including GLAS Trust and QIA, as well as other stakeholders, have been in discussions with the founders and other parties. A settlement has been agreed in principle, with only a few residual minor issues left to be finalised between certain parties. I have no role in those remaining issues,” he said.

“As part of the settlement discussions, the parties have also acknowledged that there has been no wrongdoing on my part or on the part of the other founders. That is why it is deeply unfortunate that this matter is being used to create a contrary public narrative at this sensitive stage,” he added.

Raveendran Targets Lenders On Hiding Information

This decision comes months after a Delaware court in December 2025 overturned its prior $1 billion judgment against Raveendran, following the review of fresh submissions filed by a motion seeking correction of a November 20 ruling. The court noted damages had not been properly assessed and ordered fresh proceedings.

Raveendran's team argued that GLAS Trust and lenders had concealed or misrepresented critical information during the legal proceedings, which contributed to the collapse of the edtech business and erosion of enterprise value.

Byju’s Rise During COVID Pandemic

Byju's, founded in 2011 as Think & Learn Pvt Ltd, started as an online learning platform for school education and exam preparation and became immensely popular during the Covid-19 pandemic. The company acquired firms like Aakash Educational Services, Great Learning and Epic to expand its presence. It became the face of India's startup boom, attracting billions from global investors. The company's aggressive growth was fueled by spending and debt rather than profitability. 

ED Officials Attacked During Exit

According to images flashed on the television channels, alleged CPI(M) activists reached Mr. Vijayan's rental home and began to protest the raid. Things turned nasty when some activists blocked the vehicle carrying the ED officials and then pelted stones at it.

It was very difficult for police and central security personnel to contain the huge number of protestors. Women ED officials were in the vehicle when it was attacked by a large mob. The wind shield of the vehicle was smashed in the stone pelting.

Pinarayi Vijayan Calls Raid 'Targeted'

The Opposition Leader of Kerala Pinarayi Vijayan termed the searches conducted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) at his residence here as a "targeted crackdown" against leaders of the opposition parties.

He also claimed that it would be a 'mental satisfaction' for some like Rahul Gandhi whose residences are not raided nor who is arrested, for his frequent queries regarding why his home was not searched or why he was not arrested, the Opposition Leader added.

"Some people like (Congress leader) Rahul Gandhi would be happy, as the narrative by him was why Pinarayi Vijayan is not being arrested," he said.

Pinarayi Slams BJP Over ED Action

The CPI(M) leader told reporters after completion of the hours-long searches at his rented house in Bakery Junction over the alleged CMRL monthly payment case that this raid will not weaken him or the CPI(M).

The senior leader also alleged that central agencies have been used against opposition leaders since the BJP-led central government came to power, stating that it was also the same modus operandi applied this time.

“The BJP government has always targeted political adversaries. The Congress also took the stand that if not their leaders, then there is no issue. But we are not going to be cowed down," he added.

ED Probes Veena Vijayan CMRL Case

The central agency’s actions were initiated following a dismissal by the High Court to quash the ED's procedures and cancellation of the summons issued by the agency. The complaint made by the ED was that Rs 1.72 crore from Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL) were collected over time by an IT firm called Exalogic, which is owned by the daughter of former CM Pinarayi Vijayan, Veena T. 

It was not used to provide IT services that were never provided, but instead to settle the loans given to Veena's firm. The case registered by ED in 2024, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), will investigate these charges.

The trailer begins in Narmadapuram, Madhya Pradesh, where Police Inspector Purushottam Bhadauriya mysteriously goes missing. The entire police department is searching for him, but the most shocking part is that Inspector Bhadauriya was investigating a series of missing cases happening in the city. Amid a clueless police force and chilling dialogues from a terrifying kinnar gang, the story introduces SI Narmada Rayakwar, who now takes charge of the investigation.

In the following scenes, Mukesh Tiwari and Anjali Patil are seen in impactful roles while facing questions from the public and the media. In the final moments of the trailer, police encounters, protest sequences, and emotional scenes featuring Zarina Wahab and Raghubir Yadav add greater depth to the narrative. The visuals of blindfolded girls in deserted night locations and Simala Prasad gearing up in a police uniform strongly portray the film’s serious subject and its powerful message of women's empowerment.

Powerful dialogues like “There is no gender difference in the police force; the uniform itself is enough,” make the trailer even more impactful. The trailer clearly indicates that the film is not just a crime thriller, but also a story about girls’ safety, the dark realities of society, and the strength of women.

Real-life IPS officer Simala Prasad said about the film, “‘The Narmada Story’ is not just a film, but the voice of those girls and women who never stop fighting even in difficult circumstances. Being a police officer, I have witnessed many real-life incidents, and while playing this character, I felt every emotion with honesty and truth. I hope audiences will connect deeply with this story.”

Director Zaigham Imam said, ‘The Narmada Story’ brings forward a serious issue in society. Along with crime, suspense, and emotion, the film presents a very strong side of women's power. Alongside Simala Prasad in the lead role, National Award-winning actress Anjali Patil, Zarina Wahab, and Ashwini Kalsekar further strengthen the story with their performances.”

Under the banner of AB Infosoft Creation and Golden Ratio, “The Narmada Story” stars Simala Prasad, Anjali Patil, and Ashwini Kalsekar in prominent roles. Veteran actors Zarina Wahab, Raghubir Yadav, Mukesh Tiwari, Sharad Singh, and Ishtiyak Khan will also be seen playing important characters in the film. The film is slated to release in theatres on June 12

The political heat in Uttar Pradesh is rising along with the summer temperature. This has led to a bitter quarrel between the ruling party and opposition in UP with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav charging his rivals in the face for a major heatwave that claims power cuts across the state. UP Power Crisis Heats Up Political Battle Between BJP and SP

Akhilesh Yadav took a sharp jibe at Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, questioning the state government’s handling of electricity supply. In a post on social media platform X, he mocked what he called a lack of coordination between the Chief Minister and Uttar Pradesh Energy Minister AK Sharma.

He alleged that the government was unable to handle regular outages of electricity, in particular during peak summer demand when people need reliable power the most. Akhilesh also sneered, saying the public was going to “thrash the BJP” in the next elections because they are unhappy with basic services, including electricity. He also blasted the administration over reports that police had been sent to power substations. Power cuts were not a real factor and so the government was trying to control popular anger, he said. He also mentioned some BJP members even complaining of their own government, indicating inner frustration.

The same government in Uttar Pradesh defended its power management mechanism. Officials emphasized that the state saw its most electricity supply ever through the current heatwave. Demand for power, it said, has skyrocketed, but supply has stayed at all-time highs to power this increase in consumption.

According to official data gathered by Uttar Pradesh State Load Dispatch Centre, electricity consumption in the state has more than doubled over the last 12 years. It has grown to over 1,62,858 million units by 2025–26 from around 76,574 million units in 2012–13. The increase demonstrates population expansion and greater penetration of electricity in rural and urban areas.

Energy Minister AK Sharma also reacted by sharing a new power supply record. He said Uttar Pradesh recently reached a peak electricity supply of over 31,000 MW this year which is the highest in the state’s history. The supply at one point soared to almost 31,824 MW during peak evening demand.

The state, he said, is consistently shattering its own record and running its own power supply even in the face of extreme weather. At this point, Uttar Pradesh has even exceeded all major states for peak power supply during this time.

Now the ongoing clash between Akhilesh Yadav and the BJP government has made power supply a crucial issue. With power cuts being the backdrop for the opposition on the one hand, the ruling party is playing up record electricity distribution to maintain its record.

As the heatwave presses on, the topic of UP’s power crisis will probably be a continued political talking point in the state.

Born into a respected family, many assumed success would naturally come to him because of his father’s powerful legacy. But Raj’s journey tells a very different story. He stepped into the private security industry at a time when it lacked glamour, structure, and respect. Through sheer determination, discipline, and networking, he built Tiger Guards into a recognized name associated with high-profile events, celebrities, corporates, and global assignments, including security involvement connected to the Michael Jackson concert in India.

But while the outside world saw success, luxury, and influence, his personal life was witnessing storms that would break many men.

Raj openly admits that some of his toughest battles came from within his own personal circle. During one of the most difficult phases of his life, he found himself fighting legal and emotional battles alone. Circumstances turned ugly, relationships collapsed, and he even experienced life behind bars — an experience that changed him deeply. For someone carrying the surname of a former Police Commissioner, the fall was not just personal, but public.

What hurt him more was not just the situation itself, but the feeling of standing alone during those times. According to people close to him, even family support was limited during critical phases of his struggle. Yet Raj never allowed bitterness to define him.

Today, despite everything life threw at him, he continues to stand tall — rebuilding his image, business, and life brick by brick. He remains deeply devoted to his mother, ensuring she lives comfortably with full-time staff and security around her care.

Friends close to the family say Raj has always believed that no matter what happens in life, responsibility towards one’s parents comes first. From gifting her luxury cars worth lakhs to personally ensuring her well-being, family values remain central to who he is.

His lifestyle today reflects the success he rebuilt on his own terms — luxury vehicles parked beneath his residence, an enviable watch collection, strong business networks, and continued respect across influential circles. But Raj insists these things are only symbols of survival, not happiness.

Perhaps the deepest wound he carries is the distance from his children, whom he reportedly is unable to meet freely. Those close to him say fatherhood remains the most emotional part of his life.

Yet through every controversy, downfall, betrayal, and comeback, Raj Tyagi continues to fight forward. Beyond the image, beyond the headlines, he describes himself simply as a man shaped by pain, loyalty, resilience, and survival — someone who built his empire not on inheritance, but on endurance.

Karnataka’s political tensions have flared again over rumours regarding the possible resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Amid persistent speculation Karnataka minister G Parameshwara stated that the “confusion” from the state leadership will get clearance by Thursday, May 28. Since the last time the Congress government won the 2023 Assembly elections, the news around the potential power struggle has been unrelenting in Karnataka.

Siddaramaiah is now reported to step down from his position as the Chief Minister, with Congress party reportedly not confirming. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who is viewed as one of the strongest contenders for CM, is at the heart of the discussion. Still, there is no finalized ruling on the decision-making regarding Shivakumar and whether he will become the next Chief Minister or whether the party leadership will take on another person.The rumours grew after Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar left for Delhi on Tuesday to visit senior Congress leaders. It is said discussions with top party leadership were held around political developments in Karnataka at that meeting. After the meeting, minister G Parameshwara said no one who isn’t in the meeting room knows precisely what had been discussed in public.

Karnataka Congress under the leadership of Randeep Surjewala is also arriving in Bengaluru, and the situation should be clear soon, he said. “We do not yet know the inside of discussions. And what KC Venugopal said publicly we only know,” Parameshwara said to reporters. Congress leader KC Venugopal attempted to cast aside the resignation rumours and explained that the meeting in Delhi was centered on upcoming Rajya Sabha elections and Karnataka Legislative Council seats. The talks on leadership at this juncture are purely speculation, he said. But reports from people on the ground indicate that the Congress upper echelons may be urging Siddaramaiah to walk away from the CM role.For his part, he might be offered a Rajya Sabha seat and a cabinet position for his son Yathindra Siddaramaiah. 

The Congress party has not formally declared a leadership change in Karnataka yet. Political reports have shown that Siddaramaiah would not entirely be able to accept the role of Chief Minister in DK Shivakumar. Congressional leaders also reported to Siddaramaiah that the ultimate decision on representation and leadership would be made by the party senior leadership in Congress — Mallikarjun Kharge. 

Interestingly, Siddaramaiah has invited DK Shivakumar for a breakfast meeting on May 28. Political authorities say this meeting is likely to determine Karnataka’s next leadership. It is not the first time rumours of a leadership change have been reported in Karnataka. The same kind of political dynamics had come to the fore at the end of 2022 and large issues were now under discussion domestically and beyond the party Congress. As we watch at this time, the eyes are on Bengaluru and Delhi to see if Siddaramaiah will hold the same post as Chief Minister or Karnataka is heading towards another dramatic political transition. It was expected immediately after the Congress leadership had declared its stand.

The forest fire broke out in Kasauli, causing panic among local agencies and residents. Fire burned up a large forest area in Kasauli on Tuesday and began near the Air Force Station, causing panic among local agencies and people on both the police and the residents. Officials said the fire grew hard to manage due to strong winds and rising temperatures throughout the area. Multiple teams from the forest department and the fire department descended on the area with multiple fire tenders. But the flames kept advancing quickly in the thick forest. As the situation escalated, the Indian Air Force intervened to back firefighters.

The IAF flew its mighty Mil Mi-17 and Chinook helicopters to sprinkle water over the scorched forests, particularly in the remote areas hard to access by paved roads. The helicopters reportedly obtained water from Chandigarh’s celebrated Sukhna Lake and dumped it over the charred forest area in Kasauli. Images of helicopters flying above those still-burning hills then quickly went viral on social media and helped grab headlines nationally. Officials said that a large area of the forest had burned under the fire and emergency crews were busy during the day trying to put out the fire and preventing its spread in subsequent hours. Until recent information was released, they were still working to fully contain the blaze.

On the same day, another forest fire was reported in Rajhana village located near Shimla. Fires were reported also in Malog forest which is part of Mashobra range and Rajhana forest. Smoke kept pouring out of the hills across Tuesday as firefighters continued to battle to put out the flames. Fire suppression operations in Malog succeeded for a bit, yet Rajhana forest fire continued to be active well into the late night hours. Teams from fire departments said they spent nearly five hours trying to halt the blaze's spread in the area. Officials say the sudden increase in temperature and dry weather recently over the last couple of days may well have led to these forest fires. During summer months, Himachal Pradesh has borne several incidences of fire related with dry forests and hot winds.

Local authorities have warned people residing around forested areas to be wary and to stay focused and avoid any entry into affected areas. First responders live on duty to watch things constantly. While further aggravated by extreme weather, forest fires can be deadly. The more the temperature rises and climate changes, the more likely one of these natural disasters is, according to environmental experts. A lot of people praised the work of brave firefighters, forest officials and helicopter crews to sustain the forests and nearby. The precise cause of the Kasauli forest fire is currently being investigated.

The upcoming project draws inspiration from the shocking murder of seven-year-old “Prince”, who was found with his throat slit inside the bathroom of an elite Gurugram school on September 8, 2017. The incident sent shockwaves across the country, sparking nationwide outrage and debate over child safety in India’s most prestigious institutions.

The book traces the disturbing twists of one of India’s most high-profile murder investigations — from the hurried framing of an innocent school bus conductor by local police to the CBI’s eventual arrest of a student from the same school. The student was accused of committing the murder allegedly to get an examination postponed.

“What happened in this case is every parent’s worst nightmare,” said Dikssha Jyote Routray of Matchbox Shots, who is helming the project and has followed the case closely for years. “It is a tragedy that also unravels dark truths about the pressures shaping young children in contemporary urban India. Our commitment is to tell this story with the carefully researched nuance it deserves.”

For author Leena Dhankhar, the adaptation inspired by her book is an opportunity to highlight the human cost of the tragedy. “This is not just a crime story, but the story of a family’s pain and years of struggle for justice,” she said. “Through this story, we hope more people understand the emotional devastation such incidents leave behind. The family has lived with the loss every single day, and justice must prevail without compromise.”

The project carries the support of Prince’s father, who continues his long fight for justice. He said, “There has not been a single day when we have not remembered or missed him. Our fight has been painfully long, and it will continue until the guilty receive the harshest punishment. We want the truth to reach more people so society understands our pain and ensures that those responsible are never spared.”

For Matchbox Shots, the adaptation reinforces its reputation for gripping, character-driven stories inspired by real events. The production house is currently preparing for the release of war drama series Operation Safed Sagar on Netflix. With this new project, it revisits a case that forced India to confront uncomfortable questions about privilege, institutional accountability and child safety.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru last qualified for IPL 2026 final after a successful victory against the Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 of the IPL 2026 in Dharamsala on Tuesday. For all the acclaim of fans after RCB’s powerful show on the diamond, it was Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma capturing that moment following the match that truly set an internet trail in no time in the spotlight. Once RCB clinched their final position, Virat Kohli marched straight right towards Anushka Sharma and gave her a hug on the field. The tearful adulation swept the social media landscape, as a phenomenon that was subsequently dubbed – and one of the most glamorous moments of IPL 2026 – by fans.

Anushka Sharma was in the stands of the stadium at the time of the match, cheering on Virat and RCB around the clock. Cameras caught multiple candid takes of the actress smiling, clapping and in touch, emotionally, during specific moments of the game. Virat Kohli talking to Anushka from the field during the match in one video and the actress appearing nervous at an intense over in another.

The highlight was after the victory, however, when Virat rushed toward her for a deep embrace. They patted on both sides for their connection in the moment and for a moment, all it had taken was to have that connection with Anushka to build the confidence back into the group for the next couple of seasons. They also received instant feedback, with comments telling everyone how amazing everything was. They were quick to spot any issues or trends and quickly recognized their role in raising the profile of the match. It was hard to miss a second moment in the media.

The internet was especially enamoured by how naturally emotional the couple appeared for the celebration. His supporters also praised Anushka for standing by Virat even during his cricket journey and the best of support of important matches he was able to provide. On the game side, RCB defeated Gujarat Titans by 92 runs. Captain Rajat Patidar made an unstoppable unbeaten knock of 93 runs from only 33 balls which allowed RCB to chalk up a massive total of 254/5. Virat Kohli and Krunal Pandya made the running vital, bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jacob Duffy performed at that same moment during the powerplay overs. It has now taken the Royal Challengers Bengaluru to the final of the IPL 2026 tournament and it brought them one step closer to winning another IPL trophy.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma remain one of India’s most loved celebrity couples. The two first met during a commercial shoot in 2013; the couple married in Italy in December 2017. They are parents to daughter Vamika and son Akaay. But for their popularity, the couple is very private in their personal life. Often they fail to portray a picture of their children in public. Anushka Sharma has also been away from movies. Her last major film release was Zero in 2018, shot with Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. She’s still waiting patiently for an update about her sports biopic Chakda Xpress, a sports film adaptation of the Indian cricketer based on the novel about Jhulan Goswami, is the latest in a long line. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli has been winning hearts and remaining on top in terms his performances on the cricket field as well as off the cricket field, and a lot more through his emotional bonds and romance with Anushka Sharma.

On May 23rd, a grand and inspiring Honorary Doctorate Award Ceremony was organized by the "Prestigious Peace Award Council (PPAC)" at the prestigious Constitution Club of India in New Delhi, the capital of India. This dignified ceremony was held with the objective of honoring distinguished personalities who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of society, education, spirituality, leadership, art, culture, literature, business, and national service.

The Honorary Doctorate Awards conferred by the "Prestigious Peace Award Council" are dedicated to visionary individuals, social workers, researchers, academicians, influential industry leaders, and inspiring personalities who have left a positive and lasting impact on society through their lifelong work and innovations. This honor is not an academic PhD degree, but rather a prestigious accolade that recognizes social impact, global recognition, and extraordinary achievements. The presence of distinguished guests, social workers, academicians, spiritual gurus, and youth motivators from across the country lent immense dignity to the event. The entire atmosphere of the occasion appeared imbued with a sense of positive energy, inspiration, peace, and respect.

On this occasion, the renowned motivational speaker and life coach, Dr. Narinder Harjai, uplifted everyone with his inspiring thoughts. He stated that true success in life is attained not merely through wealth or fame, but through positive thinking, noble thoughts, and strong relationships. His words filled the young attendees and guests with renewed energy and self-confidence. A special guest present at the event was Rev. Acharya Yeshi Phuntsok, who also serves as a Senior Advisor to the Bharat Tibet Sahyog Manch. Expressing his views on peace, humanity, and global brotherhood, he remarked that today, the entire world is in dire need of love, compassion, and unity. His insights further enriched the ceremony from both a spiritual and humanitarian perspective.

Saurabh Vashisht, who has made remarkable contributions in the fields of education and personality development, inspired the youth to move forward with self-confidence, leadership capabilities, and a commitment to positive change. He asserted that if today's youth embrace the right direction, discipline, and positive thinking...  ...if embraced, it can elevate the nation and society to new heights. The dignified presence of Omprakash Yadav at the ceremony also served as a special highlight. Emphasizing the importance of national service, discipline, and dedication, he inspired the youth to work in the best interests of the country.

Mahant Prashant Giri Ji Maharaj, a distinguished saint from the spiritual realm, stated in his benedictory address that true success is that which contributes to the welfare of society and humanity. His inspiring words filled the entire auditorium with spiritual energy and positivity. During the program, numerous talented individuals who have excelled in various fields were conferred with Honorary Doctorate Awards and special honors. All the guests and award recipients expressed that receiving these honors was an inspiring milestone in their lives. This event, organized by the Prestigious Peace Award Council, emerged as far more than just an awards ceremony; it stood out as a powerful campaign dedicated to fostering peace, education, spirituality, inspiration, and positive leadership within society. The ceremony conveyed the message that when noble ideas, a spirit of service, and positive leadership converge on a single platform, they pave the way for new hope, fresh inspiration, and a bright future for society.

As part of this initiative, a state-of-the-art Jain Boys Hostel with a capacity of approximately 70 students was launched last year in the Kothrud area. The hostel has received an encouraging response from both students and parents.

Admissions for the upcoming academic year have now commenced. Jain students from Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and across India are eligible to apply.

The founders have focused on creating a home-like environment, a disciplined lifestyle, quality food arrangements, and modern study facilities for students. The hostel offers amenities including air-conditioned rooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, a gym, and indoor games, along with a positive atmosphere enriched with Jain values and culture.

Special attention has been given to students’ overall development by creating a peaceful, secure, and inspiring campus environment.

In addition, accommodation facilities have also been developed in different areas of Pune for students. A Jain Girls PG has been started on Bhandarkar Road, offering a safe and comfortable environment for female students. Similarly, a Jain Boys PG facility has been established at Narayan Peth, which is proving beneficial for students pursuing higher education and preparing for competitive examinations.

Looking ahead to future requirements, work is currently in progress on another ultra-modern Jain hostel project in Pune, according to the founders.

Meanwhile, the inauguration of a grand Jain temple in Kothrud is proposed for this year. The temple is expected to provide students with a spiritual environment for prayer, meditation, and connection with Jain values, encouraging not only academic excellence but also cultural and spiritual growth.
With the vision of “Modern Facilities, Jain Values, Safe Environment, and a Bright Future,” this initiative aims to support students in their educational journey.

A dreamer from a young age, Anjali started singing at the age of nine, discovering a deep and natural connection with music. Her voice soon became her identity, earning her recognition and admiration throughout her school years, where she won numerous competitions and accolades. In college, her artistic expression deepened as she explored original compositions, spiritual recitations, Sanskrit mantras and verses, and traditional Indian texts like the Ramcharitmanas, reflecting her innate connection with culture, devotion, and the sacred power of sound.

At a time when music was not widely embraced as a mainstream career, Anjali chose a more conventional path. She pursued Travel & Tourism Management and built a successful career in the aviation and travel industry. Working with renowned organizations such as MakeMyTrip, Air Mauritius, Azerbaijan Airlines, and Air Arabia, she rose to the position of Business Sales Manager. Yet, even amidst corporate success, her inner calling for music remained unwavering.

Determined to stay connected to her passion, Anjali continued her training in Indian classical music—initially through formal institutions and later under the guidance of her Guru, Vishudhi Shashwati Mandal ji. Over the years, she has performed on prominent stages and collaborated with leading brands like ICICI Bank, SBI, HT, Sonatech, and Adiveda, establishing herself as a versatile vocalist known for ghazals, retro Bollywood, and devotional music.

After nearly a decade of dedicated vocal training and self-discovery, Anjali made a defining choice—to step away from her corporate career and fully embrace music as her life’s purpose.

Deeply rooted in emotion and expression, Anjali believes in the profound healing power of music. Her work extends beyond performance—she uses music as a medium to support mental well-being, creating experiences that are calming, uplifting, and deeply immersive. This journey led her to explore the intersection of music and wellness, eventually becoming a certified Yoga and Meditation Coach from Rishikesh.

Over time, she has developed a versatile repertoire, performing across genres including:

Indian Folk | Sufi | Retro Bollywood | Bhajans—each delivered with authenticity and emotional depth.

Anjali is also known for her unique concept of Bhajan Clubbing—a contemporary fusion where devotion meets modern soundscapes. This innovative format blends spiritual depth with vibrant energy, creating experiences that resonate with diverse audiences.

Today, her performances span a wide spectrum of curated experiences, including:

• Luxury Weddings & Private Celebrations

• Corporate & Lifestyle Events

• Spiritual & Wellness Gatherings

• Exclusive Bhajan Clubbing Nights

As the Founder of Bhaav Bharat Global Events Pvt. Ltd., Anjali is committed to promoting Indian classical music and holistic wellness through yoga and music meditation. Her vision is to create soulful, high-vibrational experiences that heal, uplift, and reconnect people with their inner joy.

Anjali Rathore is not just a performer—she is an experience, bringing together music, emotion, and energy to create moments that stay with her audience long after the performance ends.

The latest leak suggests the Samsung Galaxy A27 will feature a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, Android 16-based One UI 8.5, and a large 6.7-inch display. However, users may lose some features that were available on the older Galaxy A26, including expandable storage and higher-resolution camera sensors. The leak comes from tipster OnLeaks and publication MyMobiles, which reportedly accessed the phone’s official press materials.

Samsung Galaxy A27 Design Leaked In New Colors

Fresh renders show the Samsung Galaxy A27 in Light Pink, Blue and Black color options. The overall design remains very similar to earlier Galaxy A-series phones, suggesting Samsung is not making any major visual changes this year.

The phone is expected to measure 162.4 × 78.2 × 7.8 mm and weigh around 200 grams. Despite carrying the same battery size as its predecessor, the device is said to be slightly thicker.

Galaxy A27 Specs: What’s New?

According to the leak, the Galaxy A27 may launch with:

• Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset
• 6GB or 8GB RAM
• 128GB or 256GB storage
• Android 16 with One UI 8.5
• 5,000mAh battery
• 25W fast charging

The smartphone is also expected to feature a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP main camera supporting OIS, which helps reduce blur in photos and videos.

Samsung could continue offering a large FullHD+ display on the device. While the refresh rate has not been confirmed yet, leaks suggest the company may retain a smooth 120Hz AMOLED panel similar to the Galaxy A26.

Why Fans May Not Like The Upgrades

The biggest talking point around the Samsung Galaxy A27 leak is the possible downgrade in cameras and storage options.

Unlike the Galaxy A26, the new model reportedly will not include a microSD card slot. This means users may not be able to expand storage later using memory cards, something many budget smartphone buyers still prefer.

The camera setup also appears weaker on paper. The Galaxy A27 may come with a 5MP ultrawide camera and a 12MP selfie camera, compared to the Galaxy A26’s 8MP ultrawide and 13MP front camera.

While lower megapixel numbers do not always mean worse image quality, many users are questioning why Samsung reduced the camera resolution on a newer model.

Samsung Galaxy A27 Launch Timeline

Samsung has not officially confirmed the launch date of the Samsung Galaxy A27 yet. However, leaks suggest the phone could debut in the second half of 2026.

Since the information is based on unofficial reports and leaked press materials, some details may still change before the final launch. Still, the repeated leaks indicate Samsung’s affordable smartphone may focus more on small refinements instead of major upgrades this year.

This is where the best SMM panel becomes a powerful growth tool. A reliable Social Media Marketing panel can help businesses improve engagement, increase reach, boost credibility, and accelerate brand awareness across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and more. With the right approach, even small businesses can stand out and compete confidently with major brands.

The Growing Importance of Social Media for Small Businesses

Social media is no longer optional for businesses. Customers now discover products, read reviews, compare services, and interact with brands directly through platforms like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. For small businesses, this shift presents both an opportunity and a challenge.

Large brands already have dedicated marketing teams, influencers, paid advertising budgets, and established audiences. Small businesses often struggle to match that level of visibility. Without enough engagement, even excellent products may go unnoticed online. This is why many startups and entrepreneurs are turning toward SMM panels to strengthen their social media performance and gain competitive exposure faster.

What Is an SMM Panel?

An SMM panel, or Social Media Marketing panel, is a platform that provides social media growth services such as followers, likes, views, comments, shares, subscribers, and engagement boosts across multiple social platforms.

The Best SMM Panel helps businesses:

• Increase social proof

• Improve audience reach

• Enhance engagement rates

• Build online credibility

• Strengthen brand visibility

• Save marketing time and effort

Instead of waiting months or years to build traction organically, businesses can accelerate growth strategically while continuing their regular content marketing efforts.

Building Strong Brand Credibility Quickly

One of the biggest advantages large brands have is public trust. People naturally gravitate toward businesses with high engagement, active followers, and visible popularity.

When small businesses use a high-quality SMM panel, they can improve their online presentation significantly. A business profile with strong engagement appears more professional and trustworthy to potential customers.

For example:

• A restaurant with thousands of Instagram followers looks more reliable.

• A startup with active YouTube engagement gains more authority.

• An online store with strong Facebook interactions attracts more buyers.

This psychological effect, known as social proof, heavily influences customer decisions online.

Helping Small Businesses Reach Larger Audiences

Organic reach on social media has become increasingly competitive. Platforms prioritise content that already receives engagement. This makes it difficult for new businesses to gain visibility naturally.

The SMM panel by the best SMM panel provider helps solve this issue by boosting initial engagement signals. More likes, comments, shares, and views can improve content visibility, increasing the chances of reaching broader audiences.

This creates a positive cycle:

1. Increased engagement boosts visibility.

2. Higher visibility attracts more real users.

3. More users create additional engagement.

4. Brand awareness grows consistently.

For small businesses with limited advertising budgets, this can become a cost-effective growth strategy.

Competing With Expensive Advertising Campaigns

Big brands spend enormous amounts on paid advertisements. Small businesses often cannot afford massive ad campaigns every month.

An affordable SMM panel provides an alternative method for increasing visibility without overspending. Businesses can strategically boost their profiles, videos, or posts to maintain an active social presence while staying within budget.

This is especially useful for:

• Local businesses

• Startups

• Freelancers

• E-commerce stores

• Content creators

• Small agencies

Instead of relying solely on expensive advertising, businesses can combine organic content with social media boosting strategies for better overall performance.

Saving Time for Business Owners

Managing a business already requires significant time and effort. Constantly trying to grow multiple social media accounts manually can become exhausting.

The best SMM panel in India automates many promotional tasks, allowing business owners to focus on:

• Product development

• Customer service

• Sales

• Operations

• Content quality

• Business expansion

Automation and efficient social media management help small businesses maintain consistency online without dedicating endless hours to manual engagement efforts.

Increasing Engagement Across Multiple Platforms

Modern customers use various social media platforms every day. Businesses must maintain visibility across several channels to stay competitive.

A professional SMM panel supports platforms such as:

• Instagram

• Facebook

• YouTube

• TikTok

• Telegram

• Twitter/X

• Spotify

• LinkedIn

This multi-platform support allows small businesses to expand their audience reach more effectively. Instead of depending on one platform alone, businesses can create stronger omnichannel visibility.

This diversified social presence improves long-term brand stability and market recognition.

Supporting Influencer and Content Marketing

Influencer collaborations and content marketing are becoming essential for brand growth. However, influencers and customers often evaluate a business’s social credibility before partnering or purchasing.

A strong social profile helps small businesses:

• Attract collaborations

• Gain influencer interest

• Encourage customer trust

• Improve conversion potential

• Increase repeat engagement

Higher engagement rates can also make marketing campaigns appear more successful, encouraging even greater audience interaction.

Improving Customer Confidence

Customers are more likely to purchase from brands that appear active and trusted online. Low engagement profiles can create doubt, even if the business offers excellent products or services.

The best SMM panel helps businesses maintain active-looking profiles that encourage confidence among visitors.

When customers see:

• Active followers

• Consistent interactions

• Popular posts

• High video views

• Engaged audiences

They are more likely to trust the business and move forward with a purchase or inquiry.

This confidence can directly influence conversions and sales growth.

Helping Businesses Stay Competitive in Fast-Moving Markets

Digital trends change rapidly. Businesses that fail to maintain online visibility can quickly lose attention to competitors.

Small businesses must stay active, relevant, and engaging consistently. A good SMM panel helps maintain that momentum by supporting campaigns, launches, promotions, and content performance.

Whether promoting:

• A new product launch

• A local event

• Seasonal offers

• Service updates

• Brand announcements

Social media engagement plays a major role in visibility and customer response.

Fast-moving markets require fast marketing support, and SMM panels help businesses remain competitive without requiring massive teams or budgets.

Choosing the Right SMM Panel Matters

Not every SMM panel delivers quality results. Businesses should choose platforms that offer:

• Reliable delivery

• Affordable pricing

• Multiple platform support

• Secure payment methods

• Responsive customer support

• High-quality engagement services

A trustworthy provider ensures businesses receive stable and effective social media support without risking account quality or reputation.

Wrapping Up

Small businesses no longer have to remain overshadowed by giant corporations online. With the right digital strategy, strong content, and the support of the best SMM panel, smaller brands can build visibility, gain trust, and compete effectively in crowded markets. Social media success today depends heavily on consistency, engagement, and audience perception, and SMM panels help accelerate all three.

Trekking, however, is so much more than trekking. But you’re on a journey when you start seeing just how much you travel. It is a powerful travel adventure that changes not only the way you see the world but also the way you view yourself and the way you live. And from the snow-covered Himalayan mountains of Nepal and its pristine, untamed wild African backwoods to the untamed African savanna, there's more adventure, adventure and breathtaking beauty overseas along international hiking trails. As adventure travel grows, trekkers have long since started to explore not just local trails but trekking routes that test one's endurance and offer life-altering views all over the world. Here are five of the most famous international treks that all adventure lovers must fill their own bucket list. 

1. Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal.

 The Everest Base Camp trek is one of the world's most famous trekking trips. It is among the most famous trekking routes in the world, but with nothing but Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries, suspension bridges and dramatic mountain scenery to get you through. Stepping slowly up to the base of Mount Everest -- the highest peak in the world -- you start to feel as though you are walking something more than just a body. What the land is making clear is that it offers more than just a physical challenge for this great mountain but indeed it is a personal experience. From walking across a cold mountain valley to a vast forest, the landscape has its various viewpoints. It teaches you patience and strength, wisdom as well as self-realization. 

2. Gokyo Ri – Cho La Pass – Everest Circuit, Nepal.

 For anyone who prefers something more challenging than the classic route to the Everest Base Camp, this extra circuit is ideal. There are fewer passersby, and it is so much more adventurous. You are likely to journey across the breathtaking turquoise Gokyo Lakes, cross the challenging Cho La Pass, and examine glaciers and high-altitude terrain. It has raw Himalayan beauty to it, but even more profound isolation and peace. 

3. Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Nepal. 

The Annapurna Base Camp trek is a perfect option for beginner and intermediate trekkers who prefer Himalayan beauty without challenging themselves too much. That includes trekking through green forests, rivers and traditional villages as you head up into a huge natural amphitheatre with vast amounts of snow-covered peaks that surrounds the trail. It’s a terrific blend of culture, comfort, and mountain trekking.

 4. Mount Kilimanjaro Trek, Tanzania.

 Mount Kilimanjaro is the top peak in Africa and one of the world’s leading trekking mountains. Unlike more technical climbs, this is a stroll demanding endurance and persistence. The trek traverses rainforests, alpine deserts and glaciers until you hit the peak, Uhuru Peak. To stand on the “Roof of Africa” is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement. 

5. Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, Peru.

 The Inca Trail is a magical walk you'll walk along the way with the help of the weather through history and nature. It walks along ancient, rock trails laid down by the Inca people. When it comes to the Sun Gate, trekkers navigate cloud forests, mountain passes and excavated ruins. From there, you witness for the first time a sunrise of Machu Picchu—an image which will be utterly unforgettable. Conclusion. 

Final Thoughts 

These five international treks are not just tourist attractions. This way, you become an individual. Whether it’s a country like the Himalayas, Africa or South America, every trail challenges your body, mind and spirit in different ways.

A new startup service in Delhi has grabbed massive attention online after pictures of its “shopping assistants” went viral on social media. The company, CarryMen, offers assistants who help customers carry shopping bags, stand in queues, and guide them through crowded marketplaces.

Currently operating in Lajpat Nagar, the startup has quickly become one of the internet’s most talked-about business ideas.

What Does CarryMen Offer?

According to the company, shoppers can hire an assistant for as little as 30 minutes. These assistants help customers carry heavy bags, move through busy market lanes comfortably, and even walk them safely to nearby metro stations or parking areas.

CarryMen says its aim is to make shopping easier and stress-free, especially for elderly people, women, pregnant women, and those carrying multiple heavy shopping bags.

Packages and Pricing

The startup currently offers shopping assistance packages ranging from 30 minutes to 4 hours. A 30-minute booking costs ₹149, although ongoing discounts have reduced the price to ₹79.

The company claims the service is designed to improve convenience for shoppers visiting crowded markets.

Viral Post Sparks Debate

The discussion around CarryMen started after a viral social media post showed a shopping assistant carrying bags for a woman in Delhi. The caption claimed the service also helps customers stand in food queues, find seating spots, and even arrange foldable chairs when needed.

Soon after the image spread online, social media users began debating whether such services are genuinely helpful or a reflection of growing class inequality in India.

Critics Call It “Modern-Day Privilege”

Many people criticised the idea, saying it promotes dependence on cheap labour for simple everyday tasks. Some users described the service as “modern-day privilege” and questioned whether such jobs truly support India’s youth or simply exploit economic inequality.

Several social media users argued that the growing gig economy is encouraging unproductive labour while serving the convenience of the privileged class.

Others Defend the Service

At the same time, many people supported CarryMen’s business model. Supporters pointed out that the service could be extremely useful for senior citizens, disabled individuals, pregnant women, and shoppers carrying heavy items over long distances in crowded areas.

Some users also said the startup creates employment opportunities while offering convenience to people who genuinely need assistance.

Internet Divided Over CarryMen

The viral debate has now made CarryMen one of the internet’s most discussed startups. While some see it as a smart convenience-based business idea, others believe it highlights deeper issues related to class divide and labour exploitation in India.

The CBSE OSM Controversy

How It Began Vedant Shrivastava, a Delhi student who took a Class 12 exam, obtained lower-than- expected grades in Physics following CBSE's release of the board exam results on May 13. Not pleased with his marks, he applied for scanned copies of his answer sheets by the board’s re-evaluation process on May 19. It all started on May 23, when Vedant found something shocking when he received the scanned copies - the Physics answer sheet he uploaded with his roll number did not belong to him. In defense, he posted screenshots of his English, Computer Science and Physics answer sheets on X (ex Twitter), showing the signs of handwriting difference. Vedant replied with “I have worked so much this year” but wondered whether his real Physics paper had even been graded. The post quickly attracted attention, and went over 3 million views on social media.

Social Media trolling turns ugly

In the days following the posting went viral, Vedant encountered an online harassment and trolling. Some users accused him of seeking to tarnish CBSE’s public image. Others began calling him “anti-national” in words that went so far as to label him “Pakistani.” The trolling reportedly escalated further when his X account location showed “South Asia,” a term that many users misinterpreted. Senior journalist Ashok Shrivastav even used the term “Pakistani” in a social media post before apologising for making headlines online, even after being met with backlash. Vedant’s father Sanjay Shrivastava added that the online harassment made a significant impact on his son’s mental health. Vedant claimed he could not sleep at all after finding out that there was a mismatch in the answer sheet, as well as subsequently not using his phone due to the trolling. His brother Siddhanta also defended him on the internet, saying that the X account had only emerged in the past months to speak up and that the South Asia location came through due to a technical configuration. Support for Vedant includes Rahul Gandhi and others. The issue became more controversial and several public figures came out in support of Vedant Shrivastava. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi condemned the online abuse and said a student seeking justice should not be singled out for bringing attention to issues with the education system.

In support of Vedant, the viral youth-driven social media campaign “Cockroach Janata Party” also found support and also called for accountability from CBSE and the Education Ministry. The case quickly became one of the biggest education controversies related to the CBSE OSM system. CBSE admits wrongdoing and apologises. After widespread public scrutiny CBSE issued a review stating that Vedant's answer sheet had indeed been exchanged. Officials stated that they later emailed Vedant the correct Physics answer sheet to correct the grade and confirmed that his marks would receive an update. CBSE also replied to the matter publicly on X, stating that appropriate action was being taken to rectify the outcome. Vedant later confirmed that the issue was resolved and thanked a number of people who had supported him online for their support. What Is CBSE’s OSM System? CBSE announced the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system in 2020 for Class 12 evaluations to make checking quicker, online and more transparent. Scans are then posted online for teachers to evaluate digitally under this process. But many students have complained of technical challenges, including:

Improper answer sheets uploaded. Missing pages. Blurred scans. Payment problems while being re-assessed. Unmarked answers. CBSE has conceded that technical problems have affected some students and said improvements are ongoing to avoid problems in the future. More Implications for Digital Evaluation. The Vedant Shrivastava case was now raising serious doubts about the integrity of the evaluation process of digital board examinations in India. In view of what CBSE says the OSM system improves transparency, students and parents are asking for even better system so as not to permit similar mistakes to occur again in the future. 

For others, the controversy also showed how quickly social media outrage can become personal and harmful, particularly for young students already facing academic stress.

The case may have ended with an apology and correction, but it has opened a much larger debate about technology, accountability, and online behaviour in India’s education system.

Satellite-based precision agriculture makes this possible by capturing variation within the farm and turning it into actionable insights. Solutions like Sat2Farm provide a continuous, field-wide view, helping identify stress and variability early, even for farms as small as a single acre. With a typical 10-meter resolution, each pixel represents a specific area within the field, and a one-acre farm can be observed through roughly 30–40 pixels or data points, each reflecting conditions in a different part of the field. In contrast, IoT sensors provide high accuracy but only at fixed points. A single sensor reflects conditions only at its installed location, and capturing similar variation requires placing multiple sensors across the field, increasing cost and complexity. Satellite systems, on the other hand, deliver these multi-point insights without incremental hardware costs, making them more accessible while enabling better input use, reduced wastage, and improved economic outcomes.

Understanding What Precision Agriculture Means at the Farm Level

Precision agriculture is the use of data and technology to make farming decisions more accurate and timely. It involves monitoring soil conditions, tracking crop health, planning irrigation, and applying inputs like fertilisers in the right quantity at the right time. The key shift is moving away from treating a field as uniform to recognising variation within it, and acting on those differences to improve efficiency and outcomes.

For small and marginal farmers, this approach builds on what they already do. Decisions are often based on observation and experience, but are limited by what can be seen at a given moment. Precision agriculture adds structured, continuous insights that strengthen these decisions. The real consideration, however, is economic. Any shift from traditional practices must justify its cost through clear gains, whether in reduced input use, better yields, or more consistent farm performance.

The Cost Side: What Farmers Need to Consider

Adopting precision agriculture often comes down to a simple question for small and marginal farmers: is the cost justified? Expenses can include tools, digital platforms, training, and sometimes hardware. Unlike large farms that can invest in multiple on-ground technologies, smaller farms need solutions that avoid heavy upfront investment. Satellite-based approaches address this by eliminating the need for physical installation while still delivering farm-level insights. With access through mobile applications and shared service models, farmers can start using data-driven support without significantly increasing operational costs.

At the same time, risk plays a critical role in decision-making. With limited financial buffers, even one failed season can have serious consequences, making predictable returns essential. In this context, the Sat2Farm app helps improve input efficiency by enabling timely and informed actions. By optimising the use of fertilisers, water, and crop protection measures, they reduce unnecessary spending and minimise losses caused by delays or inaccuracies. This makes precision agriculture not just accessible, but economically viable within the constraints small and marginal farmers operate in.

The Benefit Side: Where Value Can Be Created

The value of precision agriculture becomes clear when it directly improves how inputs are used.Instead of relying on broad assumptions, farmers can apply fertilisers, water, and crop protection measures based on actual field conditions. This leads to more efficient use of resources and avoids unnecessary spending, which is critical when margins are already tight.

It also strengthens decision-making across the season. Early detection of issues like pest attacks, nutrient deficiencies, or water stress allows timely intervention before damage escalates, reducing potential yield losses. At the same time, access to weather data, crop health insights, and soil information supports better planning around sowing, irrigation, and harvesting. Over time, this results in more consistent outcomes and a more reliable use of limited resources.

The Balance Between Cost and Return

The economics of precision agriculture for small farmers is not simply about comparing total costs with total returns. It is about understanding how small improvements in efficiency can add up over time. For example, even a modest reduction in fertilizer use or a slight improvement in yield can have a meaningful impact on income.

Since every minute detail needs time to take effect, precision agriculture works by steadily building value season after season. 

The scale of the farm also plays a role. On smaller plots, the absolute gains may be limited, but the relative impact can still be significant. What matters is whether the improvement justifies the effort and cost involved.

Accessibility and Practical Challenges

One of the main challenges in making precision agriculture economically viable for small farmers is accessibility. Technology must be easy to use, available in local languages, and relevant to local farming conditions. Sat2Farm supports this by delivering insights in over 20 languages, helping ensure that information is understandable and usable across diverse regions. If the information is too complex or not aligned with ground realities, it is unlikely to be used effectively.

Another challenge is trust. Farmers need to be confident that the recommendations they receive are reliable. This comes from consistent, accurate performance over time, where insights prove their value directly in the field.

Infrastructure also plays a role. Connectivity and digital familiarity can vary across regions, so solutions need to be designed to work reliably across these differences.

The Role of Scalable and Affordable Solutions

For precision agriculture to work for small and marginal farmers, the focus must be on affordability and scalability. Instead of relying on high-cost equipment like sensors, solutions that use widely available tools such as mobile phones are more likely to see adoption. Platforms that can support multiple crops and adapt to different regions also deliver greater value. Sat2Farm reflects this approach by providing insights across over 140 crops in more than 50 countries, making it easier for farmers in diverse regions to access relevant, localised guidance without added complexity.

Shared models can also help reduce costs. For example, services that are accessed through cooperatives, farmer groups, or institutions can make technology more accessible without requiring individual investment.

The goal should be to develop approaches that fit the realities of smallholder agriculture, taking into account their specific constraints, resources, and decision-making processes. This becomes especially important in a country like India, where there are over 12 crore small and marginal farmers, each operating under different local conditions and constraints.

Looking Ahead

The economics of precision agriculture for small and marginal farmers is still evolving. As technology becomes more accessible and better adapted to local conditions, the balance between cost and benefit is likely to improve. However, adoption will depend on how well these solutions address the practical constraints faced by farmers.

Ultimately, precision agriculture is not just about technology. It is about making better use of available resources, reducing avoidable losses, and supporting more informed decision-making. For small and marginal farmers, even incremental improvements can make a meaningful difference. The key is to ensure that the solutions offered are not only effective but also practical and economically viable in real-world conditions.

Elephant Calf Stuck, Dies in Marsh

The latest incident occurred on Sunday in the Pureda-Amjhar forest area, where an elephant calf reportedly became trapped in a marshy zone near a pond. The calf could not be rescued despite attempts by forest officials to rescue it. The calf’s mother, officials said, remained by its side for hours before scrambling to rescue it by knocking over nearby trees. The emotion has sent shock waves through the internet since details of the incident surfaced.

Eight Elephant Calves Dead in Five Months

But the scene at the scene went viral. Forest officials reported that eight elephant calves died in the Dharamjaigarh forest division in the last five months. The deaths were reportedly due to drowning, being trapped in marshland and falling into wells, among other unexplained circumstances. An elephant also died earlier this year after slipping into a well in January. Multiple additional calf deaths were reported from March to May.

Experts in Habitat Condition Research

The expert team will study the forest setting, determine the reasons for the deaths and train local staff in postmortem examination, wildlife response, and sampling, said Divisional Forest officer Kishore Kumar Upadhyay. Officials are also looking at whether shrinking forest cover, lack of food and water and increasing human activity are driving elephant herds to move closer to villages and water bodies close to human settlements. Members of the team and experts should spend time in the forests to closely evaluate the conditions of their habitats and recommend action to avoid more elephants dying in the future.

Elephant calf deaths in recent years again raised concerns about the safety of wildlife, habitat destruction and increasing human-animal conflict in forest areas of India.

Why Mango Coconut Laddoo Is Perfect for Summer  

Ripe mangoes are some of the most favourite fruits in Indian summers. For dessert, coconut and these fruits naturally sweeten each other, making it both great for dessert in the afternoon, festive sweet as well as post-meal sweet. These laddoos are also seen as a healthier dessert option since they are made with natural ingredients. Mangoes provide fibre and vitamins, sweet and natural; coconut adds texture and richness. Nuts such as almonds and cashews impart additional crunch and nutrition. There's a twist here: Dates become a kind of natural sweetener, so the product is inherently higher in nutrition and suitable for even more mindful eating and weight-loss-friendly snack regimens.

How Mango Coconut Laddoo Is Different from Coconut Laddoo

 
Coconut laddoos are generally made from milk, sugar, or condensed milk. However, mango coconut laddoos are made of fresh mango pulp with a lighter texture and fruity tropical flavor. Instead of regular coconut sweets, the juicy flavour and vibrant golden colour will make this a summer dessert with a fresh tropical flavor.

Quick Recipe Details  

Prep Time: 15 minutes  
Cook Time: No cooking needed  
Servings: 10 laddoos  
Calories: Around 95 calories per laddoo  
Taste: Fruity, sweet, and coconut-rich  
Difficulty Level: Easy  

No-Cook Mango Coconut Laddoo Recipe  

Ingredients  
1 cup thick mango pulp  
1½ cups desiccated coconut  
6 soft chopped dates  
2 tablespoons chopped almonds  
2 tablespoons chopped cashews  
½ teaspoon cardamom powder  
Extra coconut for coating  

Step-by-Step Method  

Add mango pulp, chopped dates, cardamom powder, almonds, and cashews to a bowl, then combine. Slowly mix in desiccated coconut until the mixture becomes thick like dough. Refrigerate the mixture for 15–20 minutes. Roll small portions into round laddoos. Coat each laddoo with extra coconut. Chill again before serving for the best taste.

Simple Ways to Make It More Nutritious  
Add Chia Seeds  
The chia seeds add both fibre and nutrition without radically changing the flavor.

Use Alphonso or Kesar Mangoes  
This mango variety will be much stronger to taste and produce a much brighter colour.

Add Pumpkin Seeds  
Pumpkin seeds provide crunch and plant protein.

Mix Pistachios  
Pistachios add texture and make the laddoos appear more appealing.

Replace Dates with Figs  
Soft figs impart another fruity sweetness that pairs well with mango and coconut.

Add Oats Powder  
Oats enhance texture and also add additional fibre to the recipe.

Serve Chilled  
In summer it is more refreshing and the mango flavour benefits from cold laddoos.

Mango Coconut Laddoo (Nutritional Benefits)  
With seasonal fruit, coconut, and nuts, mango coconut laddoos create a balanced sweet treat packed with natural ingredients. They have abundant fibre, energy, healthy fats, and vitamins, which is a good change for a healthier sweet than your average sweets.

The team plans to create music videos, digital content, and future films with fresh faces from across India. Amritpal Singh explained that the company does not want to spend everything on already famous stars. Instead, they want to invest in new talent and give them proper opportunities. This idea has impressed many people because very few production houses focus on unknown artists from smaller places.

Workshops And Training Will Help New Artists Grow

Amritpal Singh said many talented people fail to enter the entertainment industry because they cannot afford to move to Mumbai and AMX Production wants to change this system by taking auditions directly to different cities and villages. The team plans to personally meet young artists and guide them through workshops and training camps. This idea has connected with many people online because it supports newcomers instead of only famous faces. AMX Production has already built a strong name through fashion shows, music projects and talent events across India.

Sunny And AMX Production End Old Differences For New Beginning

The press event also became special because Sunny from the Golden Guys publicly spoke about ending past misunderstandings with Amritpal Singh. Earlier reports about clashes and broken agreements had created headlines on social media. Now both sides have decided to work together again for a bigger purpose. Sunny praised Amritpal Singh for thinking about people from ordinary families who dream of becoming actors and performers. Their reunion has created excitement because both names already have a strong social media following and influence among young fans.

Workshops And Music Videos To Launch Fresh Faces

AMX Production revealed that selected candidates will not only get auditions but also proper grooming and workshops. According to the team, many talented people fail because they never receive training or industry guidance. The company plans to create around 100 music videos in the starting phase itself. New faces discovered during the casting tour may get lead roles in these projects. Amritpal Singh also explained that social media reach is not everything. He believes many people with low followers have real acting skills and deserve a proper platform to shine.

AMX Production Expands Beyond Films Into Digital Entertainment

Over the last few years, AMX Production has slowly grown into a larger entertainment brand through modeling shows, digital promotions and music content. Amritpal Singh has worked with several public figures and reality show personalities while building his production network. The company now plans to strengthen its own online platforms where songs, web series and talent videos can be released directly. The casting tour is expected to continue across India for nearly one year. With this move, AMX Production is trying to create opportunities for people who usually stay unseen despite having strong talent and hard work.

Notable projects on display include the upcycling and recycling of everyday materials, introducing the idea of ‘repurposing’ raw materials into usable, environment-friendly products. Another project is anchored in sensitizing students to designing ecologically responsive architecture in ecologically sensitive areas. The exhibited work also showcases projects addressing issues and complexities in urban areas, such as the lack of public spaces for communities, missing footpaths, and more. These projects have cultivated ideas around designing public spaces between and around buildings, emphasizing the improvement of the quality of public spaces.

“This year’s Spring Semester Exhibition showcases excellent work undertaken by our students of SEDA, exhibiting some of the finest and most relevant projects of our time,” said Smt. Tejal Amin, Chairperson, Navrachana Education Society.

“Through students’ works, it is evident that the projects undertaken this semester have generated curiosity, everyday awareness, and sensitivity towards repurposing, ecology, society, and people-centric public spaces,” said Prof. Pratyush Shankar, Provost, Navrachana University and Dean, SEDA.

This exhibition will open on Wednesday, 20th May, at 5:30 pm and will remain open to the public on Thursday, 21st May 2026, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. A guest lecture by Venkat Srinivasan, founding member and co-director of the Milli Archives Foundation, Bangalore, has also been organized on 20th May 2026. The exhibition presents an excellent opportunity for aspiring students intending to join design programmes to gain better insight into the type of work undertaken in these programmes.

Iqbal Ansari said to ANI that Muslims should respect the laws of India and the beliefs of Hindus, who think cows are very special.

He wants Muslims to think about the country, not just their own religion.

He thinks Muslims should not hurt animals that the law says to protect.

Iqbal Ansari says this is not about religion it is also about keeping the country peaceful. He thinks Muslims should not kill animals that are not allowed. Hindus think of cows as their mother and Iqbal Ansari thinks Muslims should respect that.

He wants the government to say that the cow is an animal for India. He believes this will help stop people from being violent against cows and against each other. Iqbal Ansari also said that the teachings of Islam and the Indian Constitution do not agree with killing cows.

He said Islamic books talk about how cows give us milk and ghee. They also say it is not good to eat cow meat. He said being a citizen means respecting the laws of the country and the people around you.

Iqbal Ansari went to Ayodhya. Met some Hindu saints and seers. He gave them some cow statues to remind people to be peaceful and respect each other. He is asking Muslims to kill animals that are allowed by the law and by teachings during Bakrid.

At the time Iqbal Ansari is asking the government to build better cow shelters and take good care of cows all over India. He wants to make sure cows have food and are treated well. Iqbal Ansari thinks this will help keep the country peaceful and make sure people of religions get along.

He wants Muslims to remember that Eid al-Adha is a time for peace and respect and they should celebrate it in a way that does not hurt others. Iqbal Ansari is trying to spread a message of peace and respect, between communities. He hopes people will listen to him.

Dr Jeremy London shared some things you can do to take care of your heart on Instagram. He said there are five things you can do to protect your heart and stay healthy. The good thing is you can start doing these things today.

1. Stop smoking

Smoking is very bad for your heart. It does not matter if you smoke cigarettes, vape or weed. Smoking hurts your blood vessels reduces oxygen in your body and increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Dr Jeremy London says you should not smoke all. Some people think vaping or smoking sometimes is okay. It can really hurt your heart and lungs over time. If you stop smoking after you're 30 it can really help your blood circulation and make you healthier in the future.

2. Eat smart and cut out processed foods

The food you eat is what your body becomes. When you are over 30 your body does not burn food fast and eating unhealthy food can cause problems.

Foods that are processed sugary drinks, junk food and foods that are high in bad fats can make you obese give you high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease. Instead you should eat a diet with a lot of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, nuts and lean proteins.

Just changing a things about what you eat can make a big difference. Drinking water eating less sugar and eating meals you make at home can help your heart stay healthy for a long time.

3. Check your blood pressure all the time

High blood pressure is called the killer because a lot of people do not even know they have it. Experts say that if you do not control your blood pressure it can quietly hurt your heart, kidneys and brain over time.

Checking your blood pressure after you are 30 is one of the ways to prevent serious heart problems. If you find out you have blood pressure early you can make changes to your lifestyle before it becomes a big problem.

Even if you feel healthy you should still go to the doctor regularly to make sure you stay healthy.

4. Move your body every day

Exercise is one of the things you can do for your heart. You do not have to exercise a lot every day. You should move your body regularly.

Dr Jeremy London says you should do exercises like walking, jogging, cycling or swimming and you should also do exercises to make your muscles stronger.

Just moving your body for 30 minutes every day can make your heart healthier help you stay at a weight reduce stress and give you more energy. Small things like taking the stairs walking after meals or stretching regularly can also help.

5. Prioritize sleep

Sleep is when your body fixes itself. If you do not sleep well it can increase hormones, blood pressure and the risk of heart disease.

A lot of people do not sleep enough because of work, social media or being busy. Experts say sleep is just as important as eating well and exercising.

You should try to sleep for 7 or 8 hours every night without any interruptions. If you have a sleep routine it can improve your mental health make your immune system stronger and protect your heart.

The choices you make today will decide how healthy you will be in the future. If you start some habits after you are 30 you can live a stronger, happier and healthier life when you are, in your 80s.

If we look at the fuel price data we can see that Hyderabad has the petrol price in India at ₹112.81 per litre. Thiruvananthapuram is very close with a price of ₹112.64 per litre and Patna is at ₹111 per litre.

In Delhi the petrol price is now ₹99.51 per litre and the diesel price is ₹92.49 per litre. In Mumbai the petrol price has gone up to ₹108.45 per litre after a hike of 86 paise.

Here are the top 10 cities with the petrol prices:

1. Hyderabad. ₹112.81/Litre
2. Thiruvananthapuram. ₹112.64/Litre
3. Patna. ₹111/Litre
4. Kolkata. ₹110.64/Litre
5. Jaipur. ₹109.84/Litre
6. Mumbai. ₹108.45/Litre
7. Bengaluru. ₹108.09/Litre
8. Bhubaneswar. ₹106.18/Litre
9. Chennai. ₹105.33/Litre
10. Guwahati. ₹105.1/Litre
    

The diesel prices have also crossed ₹100 in two cities.

The diesel prices have jumped up a lot after the hike. Thiruvananthapuram has the diesel price at ₹101.55 per litre and Hyderabad has crossed ₹100 with a diesel price of ₹100.94 per litre.

So why are the fuel prices rising in India. The people who know about fuel prices say that the fuel prices are going up because the international crude oil prices are still above $100 per barrel. This is because of the problems in West Asia. India buys than 88% of its crude oil from other countries. So when the global market changes and the value of the rupee and dollar changes it affects the petrol and diesel prices in India.

There are also reports that the state-run oil companies were losing a lot of money every day. They were losing ₹1,000 crore per day this month. After the three fuel price hikes these losses have come down to below ₹500 crore per day.

The three main fuel retailers in India are Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum. They control than 90% of the fuel retail market, in India and they change the petrol and diesel prices at the same time.

In a big moment for India the Indo-Tibetan Border Police did something amazing. The Indo-Tibetan Border Polices first all-women team to climb mountains made it to the top of Mount Everest on 21 May 2026.
This is a deal for women who like adventure sports and it shows how good India is getting at climbing high mountains. The team had 11 women who were very brave. They took on one of the hardest things to do on Earth.
The women climbed Mount Everest using the South Col route, which's very tough because of the bad weather, steep hills and dangerous conditions. With all these problems the first woman made it to the top at 06:52 hrs and soon all 11 women were standing at the top safely. This shows that the Indo-Tibetan Border Polices team worked well together they were very disciplined and they were very brave.

Nation Proud and Inspiring Future Women

Everyone in India is very happy about this. They think it is a great example of women being strong and making India proud. It also shows that women are playing a role in Indias defence and paramilitary forces especially in jobs that are very hard and dangerous.
The people in charge are very proud of the team for being so determined training hard and being so strong mentally. The Indo-Tibetan Border Polices team had to deal with cold temperatures, not enough oxygen and weather on the mountain that they could not predict. What the Indo-Tibetan Border Polices team did is now an important part of the Indo-Tibetan Border Polices history.

It shows that if you train and try hard you can do anything. The Indo-Tibetan Border Polices team proved that no what challenge you face you can overcome it if you really want to.

Chand Mera Dil Review

Directed by Vivek Soni and backed by Dharma Productions, the movie tells the story of Aarav and Chandni, two engineering students in Hyderabad. Aarav instantly falls in love with Chandni and slowly tries to win her heart through small but adorable gestures. One of the sweetest details in the film is how Aarav matches his clothes with Chandni’s outfits every day just to get her attention.

Their love story feels simple, natural, and relatable. The chemistry between Ananya and Lakshya is one of the biggest strengths of the film. Their cute conversations, emotional moments, and silent expressions make the romance feel believable and real.

However, the story takes an emotional turn when an unexpected situation changes their lives completely. The film then explores how two young people deal with love, responsibility, family pressure, and adulthood while trying to stay together.

Performances

Lakshya delivers a very honest and emotional performance. After impressing audiences with his intense role in Kill, he successfully proves that he can also shine in romantic films. His screen presence, emotional scenes, and dialogue delivery make Aarav a lovable character.

Ananya Panday also gives one of her strongest performances so far. She looks confident and emotionally mature throughout the film. Her emotional scenes work really well, especially during the more serious parts of the story. She complements Lakshya perfectly, and together they make the audience root for their relationship.

The film’s music is another major highlight. The songs blend naturally with the story and add more emotion to important scenes. The title track especially stands out and stays with you even after the movie ends. The background score also helps in creating an emotional atmosphere.

Visually, the film looks beautiful. The close-up shots and colourful cinematography make several scenes feel warm, dreamy, and emotional. Director Vivek Soni handles the romantic moments with simplicity, which makes the story even more relatable for young audiences.

The second half does feel slightly stretched in some places, but the emotional climax and strong performances keep the film engaging till the end.

Overall, Chand Mera Dil is a sweet and emotional romantic drama that works because of its relatable story, soulful music, and lovable lead pair. If you enjoy feel-good love stories with emotional depth and beautiful songs, this film is definitely worth watching in theatres.

Something big happened in Tamil Nadu when a Congress MLA started shouting slogans about Rahul Gandhi during the swearing-in ceremony. This got a reaction from the Governor. The Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay was making his cabinet bigger by adding 23 ministers.

This new cabinet is a deal for the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam government, which just came to power with help from friends like the Congress party.

When Congress MLA S Rajesh Kumar from Killiyoor was taking his oath he did not just stop at the words. He went on to say some things.

He said "Long live Kamarajar long live Rajiv Gandhi and long live Rahul Gandhi". This got everybodys attention in the room.

The Governor Had To Interrupt

Governor Rajendra Viswanath Arlekar gently told the MLA that this was not part of the oath.

The Governor said "It is not part of your oath" in a way and that brought everything back to normal. The ceremony went on without any problems.

This small incident became a talking point in politics showing how even ceremonial events can become a platform for parties to express themselves.

The Cabinet Expansion Under CM Vijay Government

The oath ceremony was part of a change in the cabinet by Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, who added 23 new ministers. Two of these ministers are from the Congress party and the rest are from the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.

The Congress MLAs who are now in the cabinet are S Rajesh Kumar, who's in charge of Tourism and P Viswanathan, who is in charge of Higher Education.

This change happened a few weeks after the new government was formed in Tamil Nadu and it is a big step in making the friendship between the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam and Congress stronger.

Congress Is Getting Stronger In Tamil Nadu Politics

For the time in a long time Congress is in a good position in the Tamil Nadu government. The party has five MLAs in the state assembly. Was one of the first to support CM Vijay.

The friendship between the parties has given Congress jobs in the government.After the ceremony Congress minister P Viswanathan said that the party will support all the development plans of Chief Minister Vijay.

What The Incident Means For Politics

The small problem during the oath ceremony has started a discussion in politics. Some people think the MLAs remark was a way of showing loyalty to the party leader while others think it is important to follow the rules during events.

As the new government settles in the friendship between the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam and Congress will play a role, in shaping the future of Tamil Nadu politics.

People are talking about Bar Cameo on media because it is so unique. The bar was built in a way that did not hurt the museum. It was put together quickly and carefully. This way the art inside the museum was not touched.

The bar has a stylish inside. It feels like you are walking into an art exhibit. The lights are dim. The ceiling is mirrored. There are posters on the walls that make you think of the past. The chairs are red. They spin around. This gives the bar a feel.

The bar is small. It only seats 60 people.. It is a great place for groups of friends or for people who want to have a quiet conversation. There is music playing in the background. It is not too loud. The bar is in the middle of the room. It is the main focus.

Stunning Views of Cubbon Park

One of the things about Bar Cameo is the view from the terrace. You can see Cubbon Park. It is really beautiful. The windows are big. You can see the park from anywhere. During the day the sun shines in and at night it is cozy and romantic.

The seats on the terrace are comfortable. They match the park. There are plants and special lights that make it feel like you are outside. This is a place to get away from the busy city.

Curated Drinks and Menu

The people who started Bar Cameo also started a restaurant in Bengaluru called Navu. They made a menu for the bar. The menu has drinks and some special ones that they came up with. They also have a lot of kinds of alcohol and wine.

Each drink is made carefully. They always have new ones to try. This way people who come to the bar a lot will always find something

Perfect Spot, for Culture and Chill

Bar Cameo is not a place to go at night. It is a place where you can learn about culture and relax. You can go there to look at the museum or to have a date. You can also go there with friends to have a night out. The bar is a combination of art and relaxation.

Bar Cameo is a cool place and a lot of people are talking about it. It has a concept and the view is amazing.

Mohanlal’s crime thriller Drishyam 3 is making a lot of people excited before it comes out in theatres. The film has already made twenty-five crore rupees from advance bookings. This shows that fans really want to see Georgekutty on the screen

India is seeing a change in the way people enjoy whisky. Earlier people in India mostly drank whisky neat or with ice. Now that is changing fast. On World Whisky Day some of the bars in India showed how whisky is being used to make exciting cocktails. This is a sign that Indias whisky cocktail culture is growing, where old ways of drinking meet ideas.

India is one of the markets for whisky in the world. People in India drink a lot of whisky every year. For a time they drank it in a traditional way. Now younger people and bars in cities are changing this. Of just drinking whisky on its own people want drinks that are fun and exciting. This change is helping whisky to become more than a drink it is becoming a flexible ingredient for cocktails.

One of the reasons for this change is that people are looking for experiences when they go out at night. Bars, lounges and cafes are opening everywhere in India. People are spending money on these experiences. The bar and pub market in India is now worth a lot of money. It is still growing. People do not just want cocktails anymore they want something exciting with unique flavors and stories behind them.

A key part of this movement is the use of blended Scotch whisky like Johnnie Walker Black Label. This whisky is known for its taste, which makes it perfect for bartenders to experiment with. They can mix Johnnie Walker Black Label whisky with coffee, fruits, spices and even desserts to create flavors.

On World Whisky Day four popular bars in India got together to create an event called "Whisky Experiments". Each bar created cocktails that used whisky in a way. One bar used coffee to make cocktails, which's a big part of Indian culture. Another bar used fruits in ways showing that fruity drinks do not have to be sweet

A third bar used ingredients like flowers, cookies and tea to create exciting cocktails. This showed that freshness in cocktails can be more than herbs and citrus. The last bar used spices to create cocktails, which showed how Indian flavors can make global spirits unique.

These experiments show that whisky is no longer for traditional drinking. It is now a canvas for creativity and bartenders are using whisky in exciting ways. Indias whisky culture is entering an era, where bars are always coming up with ideas and customers are looking for new experiences. The future of whisky in India is not just about drinking whisky on its own it is, about creating flavors with whisky.

How This Terrible Thing Happened

The boy, Shivansh Shailesh Dhut lived in a place called Riddhi Siddhi Apartment in Anand Nagar. The police said this happened on Monday night when Shivansh was playing by himself in the area where he lived. He got into the lift alone. Pressed the buttons which made the lift move. The lift got stuck between floors before it could reach the floor.

 The boy got trapped inside the lift. Could not get out. His family started looking for him when he did not come home. They told the police and the fire department about what happened.

What The Fire Department Did To Help

The people who help in emergencies came quickly and opened the lift. They pulled out Shivansh, the boy who was stuck in the lift. Sadly Shivansh had already died.

The people in charge said they will try to find out what caused the death of Shivansh. The police wrote down what happened and started investigating the death of Shivansh.

What The Police Found Out At First

 The police checked the lift to see if something was wrong with it. They did not find any problems with the lift.

 They are still looking at the papers that show when the lift was last checked and if it was safe for people like Shivansh to use.

 A senior police officer said they are looking at everything to understand what happened to Shivansh.

Another Bad Accident Involving A Child In India

Something similar happened before. A little boy, who was 4 years old died after he fell from a building in Greater Noida.

The child was with his mother, who was working as a helper. The child fell from a window that did not have any bars or protection to stop him from falling. He was taken to a hospital. They said he was already dead when he got there. People Are Getting More Concerned About Kids SafetyThese bad things that happened to kids like Shivansh have made people think more about how to keep kids safe in buildings where people live. People are worried about:

How safe the lifts are for kids to use.

 If the buildings are well taken care of to prevent accidents.

If kids are being watched enough by their parents or guardians.

 If there are safety things in place in buildings to protect kids like Shivansh.

The people in charge are expected to look at the safety rules in places where people live after these things happened to kids.These bad things that happened remind us of how accidents can be very bad especially when they involve kids, like Shivansh in the places where we live.

Alia Bhatt and Cannes 2026 Spark the Trend

At the Cannes Film Festival 2026, Alia Bhatt wore heart-shaped yellow diamond earrings along with a matching ring. The jewellery instantly grabbed attention and became one of the most talked-about fashion moments from Cannes.

Soon after, Carla Bruni also embraced the trend by wearing a bold yellow diamond necklace at a glamorous dinner party in Cannes.

Yellow Diamonds Were Already Dominating Red Carpets

This was not the first time celebrities were seen wearing yellow diamonds.

At the Met Gala 2026, Blue Ivy Carter wore a stunning 5.39-carat yellow diamond necklace designed by Henry & Henry. Supermodel Bella Hadid also wore a dramatic yellow diamond pendant that became a major talking point.

Earlier in the year at the Academy Awards 2026, Anne Hathaway dazzled in a yellow diamond necklace from Bvlgari. Reports say the necklace took more than 850 hours to create. Meanwhile, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a butterfly-inspired yellow diamond necklace from Tiffany & Co..

Why Are Yellow Diamonds So Special?

Experts say yellow diamonds are extremely rare. Their golden colour forms naturally over millions of years when nitrogen gets trapped inside the diamond during its creation process.

These diamonds are mainly found in countries like South Africa, Australia, and Russia.

Luxury jewellery brands like Chopard, Tiffany & Co., and Bvlgari are known for creating exclusive yellow diamond collections.

Jewellery entrepreneur Queenie Singh says yellow diamonds can sometimes cost even more than traditional white diamonds because of their rarity.

Affordable Yellow Diamond Options Also Exist

Not every yellow diamond is extremely expensive. Some jewellers offer colour-treated diamonds that look similar to natural yellow diamonds but are available at a much lower price.

This allows more people to enjoy the luxury look without spending a huge amount of money.

Why Celebrities Love Yellow Diamonds

Jewellery experts believe yellow diamonds represent a fresh and bold luxury statement. Celebrities are moving away from classic white diamonds and choosing jewellery that feels more personal, unique, and eye-catching.

The warm golden shine of yellow diamonds also matches today’s fashion trends, which focus on rich, radiant, and vintage-inspired styling.

Most Popular Yellow Diamonds in 2026

The most popular yellow diamonds this year are Fancy Intense Yellow Diamonds and Fancy Vivid Yellow Diamonds. These stones are loved for their deep colour, rarity, and strong sparkle.

With so many celebrities wearing them at major fashion events, yellow diamonds are no longer just a jewellery trend. They have become one of the biggest luxury fashion statements of 2026 — and this trend does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

What makes this journey even more special is how organically the madness has grown. Audiences are making Bhoota & Baba reels, dialogues and songs are trending everywhere, and the film’s horror-comedy energy has entered pop culture across Odisha. The unique promotions, including Bhoota walking inside cinema halls, transformed the theatrical experience into an event people wanted to be part of.

Beyond Odisha, the film is continuing to surprise everyone with an exceptional theatrical response in multiple cities, showing the growing reach and potential of Odia cinema on a larger stage.

Without depending on holiday weekends or superstar hype, Mantra Muugdha has built its success purely through audience excitement, repeat viewings and unstoppable word of mouth driven by the youth.

14 days of absolute madness at the box office and the journey is only getting bigger from here. Week 3 begins with even more energy, louder celebrations and audiences still rushing to experience the magic on the big screen.

The notice has also been sent to Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, Saurabh Bharadwaj and Vinay Mishra.

A division bench of the Delhi High Court directed all the leaders to file their replies within four weeks. The next hearing in the matter is scheduled for August 4.

Court Orders Preservation of Social Media Records

The High Court also ordered that all social media posts, videos, and electronic records connected to the case should be preserved safely.

The judges said these records could play an important role during the hearing of the case and may be used as evidence in the proceedings.

How the Dispute Began

The dispute between Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma and Arvind Kejriwal started after a lower court discharged Kejriwal and others in the Delhi excise policy case on February 27.

After the lower court’s decision, the Central Bureau of Investigation challenged the order in the Delhi High Court.

On March 9, Justice Sharma stayed the lower court’s order and also paused some related proceedings. After this, Kejriwal requested that the matter be transferred from Justice Sharma’s bench. However, Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya rejected the request.

Kejriwal and Other Leaders Boycotted Proceedings

Later, Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and some other leaders requested Justice Sharma to recuse herself from the case. Justice Sharma refused to step aside.

On April 27, Kejriwal announced that he would boycott the court proceedings. After this, Manish Sisodia and other leaders also decided not to attend the hearings.

Justice Sharma Initiates Contempt Proceedings

Justice Sharma later initiated contempt proceedings against Kejriwal and then withdrew herself from hearing the matter further.

She said that after refusing to recuse herself from the case, Kejriwal allegedly began making statements against the court and tried to intimidate the judiciary through social media campaigns and public remarks.

According to Justice Sharma, instead of challenging the court’s order in the Supreme Court, Kejriwal used social media and public statements to question the fairness and independence of the judiciary.

Court Says Such Actions Can Harm Trust in Judiciary

The court observed that such actions could damage public trust in the judiciary and lower the respect people have for courts and judges.

Justice Sharma stated that attempts to spread distrust against the court or question judicial independence publicly could undermine the authority and dignity of the judicial system.

Having participated at the Cannes market consistently for over a decade, NH Studioz has emerged as one of the most active and seasoned Indian entertainment companies at the festival, with Cannes now serving as a key annual global business and strategy platform for the company’s international expansion initiatives.

Led by a dedicated cross-functional team comprising international distribution, acquisitions, syndication, partnerships, technology and business development executives, NH Studioz will conduct an extensive slate of meetings with global OTT platforms, film distributors, airlines, broadcasters, localisation partners and production houses from across Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Asia and North America.

The company’s Cannes strategy this year is centered around accelerating the global accessibility of Indian cinema while simultaneously adapting to rapidly evolving entertainment consumption patterns, technology-led distribution ecosystems and newer international monetisation opportunities for premium film content.

Among the celebrated titles being showcased in multiple languages are films such as Sholay, Pink, Lootera, Bandit Queen, Omkara, Ek Villain, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, The Dirty Picture, Mangal Pandey: The Rising, Partner, Bhoothnath, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, Shootout At Lokhandwala, Baghban, Gol Maal, Shaan, Khubsoorat and Guddi, among several others. The catalogue spans timeless classics, critically acclaimed cinema and mainstream Bollywood entertainers, reflecting the scale and diversity of the NH Studioz film library.

“At a time when global audiences are increasingly consuming stories irrespective of language, Indian cinema is entering a phase of unprecedented international opportunity,” said Mr. Narendra Hirawat, Chairman, NH Studioz. “For us, Cannes is not merely a marketplace anymore — it is an annual global sprint where we continuously study audience evolution, technology shifts, platform behaviour and emerging monetisation ecosystems to ensure Indian films remain globally competitive and culturally relevant.”

“As a company, we are constantly evolving our international strategy through localisation, AI-enabled accessibility solutions, smarter discovery systems and territory-specific content positioning so that Indian stories can travel further than ever before,” he added.

NH Studioz is also actively exploring next-generation opportunities across AI-assisted localisation, metadata intelligence, digital packaging and multilingual discovery frameworks aimed at making Indian films more scalable and accessible for worldwide audiences while preserving their emotional authenticity and storytelling essence.

With one of India’s most commercially valuable film libraries, the company is witnessing increasing international interest not only in distribution rights but also in remake adaptations of Indian stories, particularly across the thriller, drama, action and comedy genres. The company is additionally evaluating restoration and preservation initiatives for select classics in order to introduce iconic Indian cinema to newer global audiences in enhanced formats.

Over the years, NH Studioz has steadily expanded its international presence by building long-term relationships across global distribution and content ecosystems, while continuously adapting itself to shifts in consumer behaviour, platform economics and cross-border entertainment consumption.

As audiences across the world continue embracing subtitled and dubbed storytelling from multiple cultures, NH Studioz aims to further position Indian cinema as a mainstream global entertainment category capable of transcending language and geography through universally relatable emotion-driven narratives.

Under the banner of Aum Entertainment Private Limited, the film’s screening at the Cannes Film Market became a proud cinematic moment, highlighting a globally relevant subject centered around humanity, equality and acceptance. Children of God is not just a film, but a socially conscious cinematic movement that gives voice to marginalized communities often denied dignity and equal respect in society. Inspired by the spiritual teachings of Lord Krishna and the compassionate philosophy of Sai Baba of Shirdi, the film delivers a universal message that every soul deserves love, acceptance and dignity.

The film follows the socially aware and spiritual legacy of projects like Sai Ki Mahima, Sai Vibhuti and Sai Bhakton Ki Sachchi Kahaniyan, all created by the Khetarpal family with themes rooted in faith, spirituality and humanity.

One of the film’s strongest metaphors draws inspiration from Shikhandi in the Mahabharata — a character whose presence changed the course of history and challenged social perceptions. Through pain, courage and transformation, Children of God presents a deeply emotional narrative about empowerment, inclusion and recognition for those historically overlooked by society.

Actor and Film maker Aushim Khetarpal, who is also known for supporting para-athletes and para-cricketers in India, believes the film has the power to initiate a meaningful global conversation about humanity, dignity and social inclusion.

The screening of Children of God at the Cannes Film Market stands as a proud moment for Indian cinema, proving once again that stories rooted in Indian spirituality and universal human values can deeply connect with audiences across the world.

The Future of Heart Surgery

Traditional open-heart surgery often requires large incisions, extended hospital stays, and lengthy recovery periods. Minimally invasive techniques, however, use small incisions and specialized instruments to perform complex procedures with far less trauma to the body. This innovation reduces pain, minimizes scarring, and allows patients to return to their normal lives much sooner.

Key Advantages for Patients

• Smaller Incisions, Less Pain: Procedures are performed through tiny cuts, significantly reducing discomfort and cosmetic concerns.

• Faster Recovery: Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays and quicker return to daily activities.

• Reduced Risk of Complications: Lower chances of infection, blood loss, and post-surgical complications compared to conventional methods.

• Enhanced Precision: Advanced imaging and surgical tools ensure accuracy and safety during complex cardiac interventions.

• Improved Quality of Life: Patients benefit from restored heart function with minimal disruption to their lifestyle.

The Enforcement Directorate talked about Robert Vadras case. Robert Vadras team said that the land transaction happened between 2008 and 2012. They also said that some crimes were added to the list of scheduled crimes under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in 2013 and 2018.. The Enforcement Directorate did not accept this. The Enforcement Directorate said that Robert Vadras case falls under their jurisdiction.

Here are the details of the Haryana Land Case.

 It is a 3.53-acre land parcel in Shikohpur, Haryana. The Enforcement Directorate says that Robert Vadras company, Sky Light Hospitality bought the land from Onkareshwar Properties in 2008. The Enforcement Directorate is looking into this land deal.

The investigators say that the land was bought in a way that's not right. They got a license using influence and the payment records showed some irregularities. The Enforcement Directorate also said that a cheque worth ₹7.5 crore, which was supposed to be the payment for the land was never cashed. This makes people suspicious about Robert Vadras deal. The land was later sold to a real estate company called DLF at a certain price.

The Enforcement Directorate has taken some actions. Attached some properties. In one year they issued an order to attach properties approximately ₹37.64 crore. This included 43 properties linked to Robert Vadras case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The Enforcement Directorate is still looking into transactions, property records and alleged links between companies involved in Robert Vadras land deal.

What will happen next in Robert Vadras case? Now that Robert Vadras plea has been withdrawn the trial court proceedings in Robert Vadras case will continue. The Enforcement Directorate will likely continue their investigation and present evidence related to the alleged land scam. Robert Vadras case will now move deeper into trial proceedings. Both sides will present their arguments and financial documents. Robert Vadras case is still very sensitive because of his family connections.

The authorities say that the investigation is based on evidence in Robert Vadras case. For now Robert Vadras case is one of the watched money laundering investigations involving big names, in politics. The Enforcement Directorate and Robert Vadra will be closely watched in Robert Vadras case.

They did this after they looked again at the kind of threats these people might face.

The government has taken away some of the police guards who were watching the homes of these people. They have also reduced the number of security personnel who were protecting them.

This happened after the state government also reduced the security provided to Abhishek Banerjee, who's a big leader in the All India Trinamool Congress.

The government officials said they made this decision after they thought about whether these people needed all that security.

Why the Bengal Government Reduced VIP Security

The government looked again at the threat levels for some leaders and officials.

As part of this review they reduced the security provided to politicians and former senior police officials.

The list of people who got reduced security includes:

 Banerjee

 Arup Biswas

 Subrata Bakshi

 Kunal Ghosh

 Sovan Chatterjee

 Rajeev Kumar

 Manoj Malaviya

 Piyush Pandey

The police guards who were outside their homes are now gone.

The officials said some of these people do not have jobs that require a lot of security anymore.

They will still get the kind of security that is required for their jobs.

For example Kalyan Banerjee and Rajeev Kumar will still get the security that is provided to Members of Parliament.

Arup Biswas will not get the kind of security that ministers get because he is not a minister right now.

Kunal Ghosh will only get the security that is provided to a Member of the Legislative Assembly.

The government also took away the security from a lawyer who used to represent the Trinamool Congress and the state government in court.

Piyush Pandey, who used to be the acting DGP will now get the security that is required for his job.

Mamata Banerjees Security Remains Unchanged

Even though the government reduced the security for important people they said they will not reduce the security for Mamata Banerjee.

The police in Kolkata have been told to make sure she is fully protected at her home when she travels and at events.

The government said they will not tolerate any mistakes, in her security.

This is part of the governments policy that people should only get the security they really need.

Some people who watch politics think this is a sign that the government wants to make sure that security is only provided to people who really need it and not to everyone.

The person they detained is Shivraj Motegaonkar, who runs Renukai Chemistry Classes also known as RCC.

He was taken to the CBI office in Pune for questioning because investigators found some links between his coaching institutes mock tests and the actual NEET-UG 2026 exam paper.

According to officials some questions from RCCs practice and mock test papers were the same as those asked in the NEET-UG examination that was held on May 3 2026.

This raised some concerns about a possible leak of confidential exam questions before the national-level medical entrance test.

The CBI is looking into the paper leak.

They found out that some mock test questions were the same as the NEET exam questions.

The investigation started after a parent filed a complaint saying that many questions in a test conducted by a private coaching institute in Latur were the same as those in the final NEET examination.

At first the local police started investigating the matter.

Because the allegations were serious and there could be links to other states the case was later given to the CBI.

The CBI searched the coaching institute and other places in Latur. Took some electronic devices like mobile phones, laptops, iPads and digital records.

Now they are looking at these devices for evidence related to question paper circulation, communication and financial transactions connected to the alleged leak.

The CBI also arrested a retired chemistry professor named PV Kulkarni, who they think has links to the paper-setting process.

Officials think the paper leak racket may involve a network that includes coaching institutes, education consultants and middlemen working across many states.

The investigation is going on in states.

The CBI is looking into leads in states like Maharashtra, Rajasthan and others that are connected to the case.

They are closely looking at:

 Transactions

 Phone call records

 Digital chats and messages

 Mock test material circulation

 Coaching centre involvement

The NEET-UG exam is one of the medical entrance examinations in India taken by many students every year to get into MBBS and other medical courses.

The alleged paper leak has caused a lot of concern among students and parents with many demanding action against those responsible.

The CBI is continuing its investigation. Questioning many suspects to find out the full extent of the alleged exam leak network.

This case has again raised some questions about exam security, transparency and the growing influence of coaching centres in competitive examinations, across India.

Fitness trainer Zoe Modgill recently explained in the media why many Indian women struggle with weight loss, low energy, weak hair and poor recovery despite eating home-cooked meals daily.

According to Zoe meals like dal, roti, sabzi, poha, dosa, khichdi and upma are healthy.. They are not always enough to meet the bodys protein needs. She explained that every meal should include a protein source like eggs, paneer, tofu, chicken, fish, curd, whey protein, soya chunks, chana, rajma or dal in the quantity.

Some simple protein hacks can help women. Zoe shared that most Indian women are not lacking discipline when it comes to fitness. Instead many are simply not getting protein in their daily meals. Protein is important for weight loss, muscle strength, hormonal balance, hair growth, better skin, energy levels, faster recovery and healthy ageing. We need protein to stay healthy.

She advised women to choose 4 to 5 protein sources to reach around 90 to 120 grams of protein intake. This can be easy.

Here are some easy protein options she recommended:

 4 whole eggs = 24g protein

 200g egg whites = 22g

 100g chicken breast = 25-30g

 100g fish = 22-25g

 100g prawns = 20-24g

 100g paneer = 18-20g

 150g tofu = 18-22g

 200g yoghurt or hung curd = 18-22g

 1 scoop whey protein = 22-25g

 1 cup cooked chana, rajma or dal = 12-18g

 50g soya chunks = 25g+

 100g tempeh = 18-20g

 A bowl of curd with 2 boiled eggs = 25g

 2 besan chillas with curd = 22-28g

 Paneer or tofu bhurji with 1 roti = 25g+

These simple food combinations can easily fit into a routine. They can help women improve their nutrition without making diet changes. I think that's great.

Protein is one of the nutrients for women. It supports the body in ways. Women experience hormonal changes during different life stages. These include menstruation, pregnancy and menopause. Experts say protein helps maintain muscle mass. It supports bone health. It improves metabolism. Keeps hormones balanced.

It also helps control hunger and cravings. This makes it easier to manage weight.

Protein is made up of acids. These include nine acids that the body cannot produce on its own. We need to get these nutrients from food sources.

Health experts believe that adding protein to meals can improve overall health. This is especially true for women managing work schedules and family responsibilities

The board has announced two changes. The first change is about making the question papers shorter. The second change is about taking action against people who cheat with answer sheets and marks.

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education wants to make exams less stressful for students. The board chairman, Trigun Kulkarni says that the changes will help students and make the exams better.

Shorter Question Papers to Reduce Student Stress

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education is planning to make the exam papers simpler and smaller.

Some question papers are very long up to 10 or 11 pages. This makes it hard for students to manage during exams. The long papers also cost a lot to print every year.

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education spends around ₹30 crore on printing exam papers each year.

To fix this problem a special committee looked into the matter. Suggested a new way of doing things.

The new plan is to make question papers shorter three or four pages and print on both sides. This will save a lot of money 60% and use less paper.

Trigun Kulkarni says that the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education wants to make exams easier for students to understand and less stressful.

The new format will also make the questions easier to read. The main questions and sub-questions will be, on the page making the paper more organised.

The new format will have:

Better question sequencing

A clearer marking scheme

formatting

An improved numbering system

 Easy-to-read multiple-choice sections

The officials think that these changes will help students focus better during exams and avoid confusion.

Stricter Laws Against Exam Fraud and Mark Manipulation

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education is also planning to take action against exam fraud.

The current law, the Maharashtra Prevention of Malpractices Act, 1982 mainly deals with paper leaks and cheating.In recent years there have been many cases of answer sheet tampering and fake revaluation.

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education wants to make these crimes more serious.

Kulkarni says that the current laws are not strong enough. So the board is trying to change the laws.If the changes are approved people who cheat with answer sheets and marks can be. Punished without delay.

Education experts think that these changes can make the exams more transparent and fair.

The changes can help students by reducing pressure and making sure that people who cheat are punished.

Vir Das wrote about this on X saying that someone sitting near him on the plane put their foot on the wall by the window while people were eating their meals. He said this person also kept scratching one foot with the other for a time during the flight.

A lot of people on the internet were really grossed out by this story.

Vir Das asked a question in his post "What would you do if you were eating and the person next to you did this? They start scratching one foot with the other for like ten minutes. What do you do next?"

He said the person was sitting across from him and another person nearby was trying not to look and just keep eating.

The post had a picture of the persons foot on the wall of the plane by the window seat.

Genuine question. You’re eating a meal. Dude next to you does this. Starts scratching one foot with the other. For like ten mins. What are you doing next? This was across from me on the flight. Aisle seat, poor chap tried to look away and concentrate on his meal. You? pic.twitter.com/nhejtrvQtY

— Vir Das (@thevirdas) May 17, 2026

People on media had strong reactions to this story.

The post got a lot of attention online. Many people commented on it. A lot of people were upset about the lack of manners and cleanliness on the plane.

Some people said that if they saw someone doing this they would tell them to put their feet down. Others said the flight attendants should do something when people behave like this.

Many people, on media also said it is really important to keep public spaces clean and be respectful when you are traveling by air.

This story started a conversation again about how people should behave in public on planes.

Some people thought Vir Das did the thing by speaking up but others said these kinds of problems should be handled right away on the plane not by posting about them online later.

This report is based on social media posts and user reactions. The claims have not been independently verified.

 A woman from Noida who married a man she met on a dating app was found dead at her home. This happened than six months after they got married.

The woman was thirty one years old. She was found hanging in her home in the Katara Hills area of Bhopal on May 12. At first it seemed like she killed herself.. Now the police are investigating because they think her husband and his family might have hurt her.

The woman met her husband on a dating app in 2024. They started talking. Got married in December 2025. Her husband is a lawyer in Bhopal. His father used to be a judge.

After they got married the woman moved from Noida to Bhopal. She lived with her husband and his family in the Bagh Mugalia Extension-Katara Hills area.

The womans family says she was not happy in Bhopal. She wanted to go to Noida. She would call her family often. Talk to them. She even called her father thirty minutes before she died. She told him that her husband and his mother were being mean to her. The family says the husband also hit her.

The police first thought the woman killed herself.. The family said they did not think it was a suicide. They said the woman had injuries on her body. So the police started investigating. They are looking into the possibility that the woman was killed because of dowry.

The police have filed a case against the husband and his mother. A special team is investigating the case. They will look into all the allegations.

The family is not happy with the way the police are handling the case. They do not think the post-mortem examination was done correctly. They want another examination done at a hospital.

The family is very angry. They want justice. They held a protest outside the home of a man named Mohan Yadav in Bhopal. They want the government to take action.

The government has said they will do something about it.

The husbands father got bail from court. The husbands bail hearing is coming up soon.

This case is very sad. It shows that in families that are well educated and have money women can still be treated badly. The woman and her family are the victims, in this case. The woman and her family deserve justice.

UAE Launches Probe Into Attack

The UAE did not directly blame any particular country, nor has any particular group taken responsibility for the attack. Investigation to find out the origin of drones is ongoing. The Defence Ministry said that two drones were intercepted and another struck an electrical generator near the nuclear power plant, the ministry added it was from the 'western border' without further explanation of where this was. According to Abu Dhabi Media Office the electrical generator was located outside the nuclear power plant's protected inner area.

IAEA Reports Safe Radiation Levels

The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed the drone hit the facility with one of its reactors switching over to emergency generators.

"Military activity that threatens nuclear safety is unacceptable. The IAEA has been informed by the UAE that radiation levels at the Barakah NPP (nuclear power plant) remain normal and no injuries were reported," the agency said.

Barakah Is Arab World’s First Plant

Built by the UAE with the aid of South Korea at $20 billion, the Barakah nuclear power plant went live in 2020 and is the first and only nuclear power plant on the Arabian peninsula. The nuclear power plant can supply electricity for up to a quarter of the UAE's energy demands. 

It is the first commercial nuclear power plant within the Arab world and is located 200km to the west of the capital Abu Dhabi near the borders of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Peace Talks Fail To Ease Crisis

This latest drone strike occurred while negotiations continue to try and broker a lasting peace in Iran, with America urging Iran to roll back its nuclear program and ease pressure on shipping lanes around the Strait of Hormuz and Iran calling for reparations for damage from war and an end to pressure from America's ports. US president Donald Trump has declared further military action a distinct possibility should the war continue on its current trajectory.

UAE Faces Repeated Drone Attacks

Since joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran occurred on Feb 28, Iran has made repeated strikes targeting the UAE and other countries bordering the Persian Gulf which host US bases, causing casualties among civilians and on energy infrastructure. 

Targets hit on the UAE, which intensified throughout this month, came following the launch of the US naval initiative to secure the Strait of Hormuz, which only lasted for 48 hours before being called off by President Trump.

The 31 article decree, called 'Principles of Separation Between Spouses' has been passed by the Taliban supremo Hibatullah Akhundzada and has recently been printed in the regime's official gazette. The decree covers issues such as child marriage, the whereabouts of an absent husband, adultery, apostasy and forced separation. 

Silence Treated As Consent For Marriage

One of the more contentious points states that a 'virgin girl' who remains silent after reaching puberty could have her consent presumed for the marriage. However, for a boy or for a married woman this is not automatically assumed to be the case. Rights campaigners have condemned the new law. Political Commentator Fahima Mahomed explained that consent cannot exist in child marriage. This idea that silence constitutes agreement, basically silences girls altogether and takes away their right to agency. 

Child Marriage Annulment Needs Court Approval

The ruling refers to the Islamic concept of Khiyar al-bulugh or 'option upon puberty' which allows individuals married as children to annul their marriages when they reach adulthood. Under article 5, Marriages made with minors, if by someone other than a father or grandfather, are valid, provided they are suitable to society and of proper dowry. However, an annulment cannot take place without an order of a Taliban court. An invalid marriage was also said to include that of an 'incompatible' person, and marriage made for an improper dowry. 

Fathers and Taliban Judges Gain Authority

The role of fathers and grandfathers in arranging child marriages was significant, however these were able to be declared invalid if a guardian was found abusive or morally corrupt. Taliban judges were also able to step in where an allegation of adultery had occurred, or a change of religion had occurred and where the husband of the marriage had gone missing for a protracted length of time. 

Global Concern Over Taliban Women Policies

The ruling has been passed at a time when the Taliban are receiving increasing international condemnation over their stance on women's rights following their takeover in August 2021, including bans on girls attending secondary schools and universities, restricted work opportunities and a serious decline in public visibility.

CNG will be sold at Rs 80.09 per kg in Delhi, Rs 88.70 per kg in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad.The revision of Rs 1 per kg came just two days after the CNG price rose by Rs 2 per kg on May 15, bringing the overall CNG price up to Rs 3 per kg in 48 hours.

IGL Cites Higher Gas Input Costs

The fuel price increase has been initiated by major natural gas distributor Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) to marginally offset the rise in input gas cost along with steep appreciation of the US dollar.

“The retail selling price of CNG has been increased by Rs 1/kg wef 6 am on 17.05.2026 in all GAs of IGL. The revision in retail prices of CNG has been effected only to marginally offset the impact of increase in input gas cost along with steep appreciation of USD. Even after revision, CNG would still offer upto 45% savings towards the running cost when compared to vehicles running on alternate fuel at the current level of prices," the IGL said.

Petrol, Diesel Prices Jump by Rs 3/litre

The increase came just two days after the hike in petrol and diesel prices was announced by government-owned oil companies across the country on May 15. Petrol and diesel rates were increased by Rs 3 per litre on May 15, first in over four years, with state-run fuel retailers starting to pass on some of the losses arising out of volatile international crude oil prices amid the raging US-Iran war.

US-Iran Conflict Impacts Crude Oil Supply

Global crude oil rates have shot up over 50 per cent since US-Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28 and Tehran's retaliatory attacks disturbed energy supplies flowing through Strait of Hormuz. Despite sharp increases in the international crude oil prices retail fuel rates in India remained stagnant for weeks as the government tried to protect the consumers from immediate rise in energy costs. 

However, the opposition parties alleged that the centre delayed fuel price revision till the completion of state assembly elections in the few key states. The increase was effected on a day after completion of the Assembly elections in five states of India where BJP strengthened its position by clinching three states, including West Bengal.

Centre Urges People to Conserve Fuel

The government also announced various measures to conserve fuel. PM Narendra Modi had recently asked people to reduce travel, promote work-from-home and conserve fuel on account of the high energy prices impacting current account deficit and foreign exchange reserves of the country. Few states also announced directives for reducing travel and holding meetings in a physical form.

Bandi Sanjay Says Law Equal For All

Union minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar said everybody is equal before the law, whether it was his son or any common man and everybody should obey law. Kumar said his son repeatedly assured he committed no wrong and that they had thought of handing over him immediately to the police as the complaint was lodged. They consulted lawyers with available evidence and lawyers felt that the case would be dismissed and bail would be granted at any cost. Due to that delay it was prolonged.

He added that even now lawyers feel that bail would be granted. So he himself decided not to wait and handed over his son to the police personally with help of lawyers for the sake of investigation.

Telangana HC Refuses Interim Protection

Police had issued a look-out notice against Bhageerath by registering a case under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The Telangana High court refused to grant him interim protection from arrest in an interim anticipatory bail petition late on Friday night observing that it was not inclined to pass any interim order in the case at this stage. Bhageerath's counsel asked the court to provide him interim protection till the order was granted on his application.

Minor Girl’s Family Files Serious Charges

The police registered the case on May 8 on the complaint filed by the mother of a 17-year-old girl on the charge that Bhageerath was in a relationship with her daughter and had sexually harassed her under relevant sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and POCSO Act. The complainant said that the relationship with the minor started in June 2025 with the mutual acquaintance between them through Instagram and Snapchat.

The mother alleged that Bhageerath tricked the minor into trust by assuring to marry her once she attains majority and exerted emotional pressure over her and police, after recording the statement of the minor, applied severer sections under POCSO Act. 

Bhageerath Alleges Extortion And False Case

Bhageerath filed a counter complaint. He stated that the girl who got acquainted with him, invited him to family functions and group get-togethers. The police registered his FIR too. He said that he accompanied her family and friends to some holy places believing the family, which can be trusted. He said that then they insisted him to marry the girl and on refusal the parents of the girl demanded money by threatening to register a false complaint. 

Bhageerath alleged that he paid Rs 50,000 to the father out of fear and then parents demanded Rs 5 crore by threatening to commit suicide by the mother.

Naidu Announces New Population Incentives

In an event held at Narsannapeta in Srikakulam district on Saturday, Naidu addressed the public and said that it was a cabinet decision and announcement for details to be made within a month's time.

"I have thought about this many times. In the past, I worked towards family planning. But today, once again, children are our wealth, and a need has arisen for all of us to work for the sake of our children, that is why I have taken another decision, and I am coming to you this month with it. For the third child, we will give Rs 30,000 immediately upon birth. For the fourth child, we will give Rs 40,000," he said.

Govt Earlier Approved Second Child Aid

The current decision comes in addition to the incentive of R 25,000 offered for the birth of a second child. On March 5, Naidu informed the Assembly that the government was considering giving R 25,000 incentive for the birth of a second child.

Andhra Pradesh TFR Falls Below 2.1

Naidu cited a growing socio-economic trend in which families tend to go for fewer children in increasing income range and for having two children with the condition that one is not a boy. He warned against these factors that might affect state's long term population dynamics and the need to attain the total fertility rate (TFR) of 2.1 which denotes replacement level.

According to SRS 2020 data of Sample Registration System, Andhra Pradesh’s TFR has been recorded as 1.5, much lower than replacement level (2.1) and even the national TFR (2.0). TFR in urban areas is as low as 1.4 which indicates continued declining population growth in future.

Anganwadi Centres To Support Mothers

Naidu mentioned that whereas his government was always ahead in implementing family planning measures, the current situation calls to make people realize that children are wealthy. He informed that by the strengthening of Anganwadi centres through the Department of Women and Child Welfare, adequate food will be supplied to mother and child. He also informed that R 15,000 cash is being provided as 'Talli ki Vandanam' (Salute to the mother).

Rahul Gandhi said, “Twenty-two lakh NEET kids have been cheated. Yet Modi ji isn't uttering a single word. Remove Dharmendra Pradhan ji right now, or take responsibility yourself.”

"Dharmendra Pradhan ji, India's Education Minister, says, 'I have nothing to do with it.' The committee had made recommendations, which he threw into the dustbin. He said, 'Opposition people are sitting in the committee, it doesn't mean anything, there is no need for it.' The truth is that you have damaged the core, the center of India. The Prime Minister should give an immediate order that Dharmendra Pradhan ji should resign, he should be sacked, and the people who are guilty should be caught and put in jail," he added.

Sikar Flat Linked to NEET Scam

The Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) investigation has put Rajasthan's Sikar district under close scanner regarding the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case. The probe agency has apprehended three individuals in this connection. According to official sources, the accused were suspected of procuring a 'guess' paper, which was almost similar to the NEET paper and making its copies and providing it to the coaching centres which then distribute the question papers among candidates. 

Officials further traced a flat in Sikar which is suspected of being used as a center of coordination where the distribution of papers were conducted and candidates were communicated to. 

Pune Teacher Arrested After Probe

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested a kingpin from Maharashtra over the Biology questions in the NEET-UG 2026 test. The Kingpin, identified as Manisha Gurunath Mandhare, a botany teacher at Pune, was employed as an expert by the National Testing Agency.

The agency stated that the accused made recruitment of candidates who would have given the NEET examinations with the assistance of Manisha Wagmare.

NTA Cancels Disputed NEET-UG 2026 Exam

The National testing agency (NTA) cancelled the NEET-UG 2026 test that was conducted on May 3 after the discovery of evidence pointing out similarities in the question papers conducted that day with those which was already circulated on the prior date.

After investigating the issue, the examination results were postponed, and the entire process was transferred to the Central Bureau of investigation (CBI). The rescheduled test is expected to be held on June 21.

The Botany teacher from Maharashtra was arrested in Delhi after being questioned for many hours by the CBI. She was granted access to both Botany and Zoology question papers in her capacity as an expert associated with the National Testing Agency (NTA).

Manisha Accused of Sharing NEET Questions

According to sources, the accused Manisha Mandhare was associated with the Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce, located in Shivajinagar, Pune. Sources claimed that Mandhare had been contributing to the preparation of NEET question papers for the past five to six years. 

Mandhare was involved in preparing Botany and Zoology sections of NEET UG 2026 examination and was at that time in the service of the aforementioned Pune college. The allegation is that the investigation system enabled her to gain unrestricted access to the questions during the examination.

Mandhare Conducted Classes at Her Residence

The CBI claimed that she gathered students for the NEET entrance examination through Manisha Wagmare of Pune, who had already been taken into custody in May on the 14th. According to the CBI, Manisha conducted special coaching for students in her home where she leaked some Botany and Zoology questions and asked the students to copy them in their notebooks and textbooks.

They added that the majority of those questions appeared in the NEET-UG 2026 conducted on May 3 (now cancelled) and also that those had matches with the original question paper.

Nine Accused Arrested After Probe

The investigation is spreading over many states. Six locations were searched and laptop, mobile phones, bank details and various documents seized in the past 24 hours and their digital and financial analysis is on. Thus far nine persons are under arrest in different places like Delhi, Jaipur, Gurugram, Nashik, Pune and Ahilyanagar. Many accused have been remanded to police custody.

The recognition is notable for several reasons, not least because it arrives without the scaffolding that typically precedes such moments for Indian technology firms. No venture capital. No overseas headquarters. No multinational parent. ExamOnline is a fully bootstrapped company, founded in Mumbai, that has delivered millions of assessment sessions across 35 countries - including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and Australia - entirely on the strength of its technology and execution track record.

What the Award Category Measures

The Best International Implementation category is among the most demanding on the e-Assessment Association's roster. It does not reward ambition or product design in isolation. It recognises demonstrable, at-scale delivery of assessment solutions across international jurisdictions - environments where regulatory complexity, multilingual requirements, connectivity variability, and compliance standards differ significantly from one geography to the next.

The 2026 conference theme - "The Trust Imperative: Innovation with Integrity" - reflects how the global assessment industry has moved its central question from 'can technology deliver examinations at scale' to 'can it do so with verifiable integrity and institutional accountability.' It is precisely that question that ExamOnline has spent 17 years building an answer to.

The platform operates on a fully in-house, proprietary AI architecture - no white-labelled proctoring engines, no dependency on third-party assessment frameworks. Its browser-based delivery model requires zero installation on the candidate's device, a design decision that has proven critical in markets where institutional IT infrastructure varies widely. An auto-save and session recovery mechanism ensures continuity even in low-connectivity environments - a feature that has been battle-tested across examinations in sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and rural Europe.

ExamOnline's compliance posture - ISO 27001, ISO 9001, GDPR-compliant, and CERT-In certified - speaks directly to the kind of trust infrastructure that international assessment delivery demands. Universities in Finland cannot accept the same compliance documentation as certification bodies in Saudi Arabia. Enterprises in Australia operate under different privacy frameworks than government agencies in India. ExamOnline's architecture was built to navigate those differences simultaneously, not sequentially.

The Weight of the Stage

The International e-Assessment Conference and Awards Gala Dinner, organised by the e-Assessment Association (eAA), is anticipated to attract more than 400 delegates from over 27 countries, featuring an AI Symposium, senior policy discussions, and the awards ceremony where organisations from across the global assessment community present their most significant implementation work. Founded in 2008, the eAA has grown into a global network of more than 5,000 members, bringing together awarding organisations, technology providers, academics, certification bodies, and institutional leaders focused on advancing digital assessment practices worldwide.

Now in its tenth year, the awards celebrate the people, projects, and organisations driving assessment forward across education, professional certification, and the workplace. For an Indian platform to earn finalist recognition in this environment (alongside organisations from the UK, Europe, and North America with longstanding institutional relationships within the global assessment ecosystem) represents a different level of validation than domestic rankings or industry recognition.

ExamOnline’s client portfolio reflects that breadth and complexity, with deployments spanning university examinations, national medical licensing assessments, corporate bulk-hiring evaluations, government sector tests, and international educational olympiads across multiple geographies.

The Larger Signal

India has long contributed talent to the global assessment industry - engineers, psychometricians, and product specialists helping build digital examination systems used around the world. What ExamOnline’s finalist position represents is something less common: an Indian company building and owning its own assessment technology platform, and earning recognition for it in the market that helped define the category.

The winners will be announced at the Awards Gala Dinner in London on 9 June 2026. Regardless of the outcome, the shortlist itself has already made a point that needed making: serious assessment technology is no longer built only in Silicon Valley, London, or Amsterdam. Sometimes it is built in Mumbai - and delivered everywhere else.

Travel influencers Hazel Lindsey and Martin Bailey shared their journey on Instagram through a video titled “Sharing thoughts about travelling in India with a 2-month-old baby.” Along with their newborn son Alexander, the couple explored different parts of India and documented their experiences.

Indian Railways Made Their Journey Comfortable

The couple praised Indian Railways for being comfortable, affordable, and easy to use. According to them, trains in India are mostly on time and tickets can be booked easily through mobile apps. They said travelling by train became one of the smoothest parts of their India trip.

Although they admitted that some railway stations were crowded, they appreciated the availability of elevators and porters, which made travelling with heavy luggage and a baby much easier.

Baby Alexander Enjoyed the ‘Hustle and Bustle’

One surprising thing for the couple was how well their baby adapted to India’s busy environment. They shared that their son enjoyed the “hustle and bustle” and slept peacefully during train rides, auto-rickshaw journeys, and even while they had dinner outside.

The couple also highlighted the warm and loving nature of Indian people. They said many locals came forward to greet and cuddle their baby, making them feel welcomed everywhere they went.

Despite these small issues, the couple said India is “incredibly welcoming to infants.” They were touched by how restaurants often arranged cute cribs for their baby during dinner outings.

However, they also mentioned a few challenges during the trip. The February heat in South India was difficult at times, and they were extra careful about tap water hygiene while bathing their baby.

Keeping your heart healthy is not about how old you are. It is about the choices you make every day.

According to Dr Sanjay Bhojraj, a cardiologist your heart can get older faster or slower depending on how you live your life.

Your real age is based on when you were born.. Your biological age depends on how healthy your body is, including your heart organs and cells.

This means a 45-year- person who eats well and exercises may have a strong heart like someone much younger.

On the hand bad habits can make a young persons heart work like an older persons heart.

The goal is not to make time go backwards. It is to slow down how fast your heart gets older and keep it working well for long as possible.

 What Makes the Heart Age Faster?

Dr Bhojraj says many daily habits can make your heart get older faster. These include:

1. sleep

2. Stress

 3.Not exercising

4.Muscle strength

 5.High inflammation in the body

 6.Unhealthy eating

He says damage builds up slowly over time. Often you do not feel any symptoms until it becomes a health problem.

Many people think they are healthy just because they do not feel sick.

However Dr Bhojraj says hidden issues like stress, poor metabolism and inflammation can quietly affect your heart health.
