"Dhoom Machale" played as Mamdani came on stage after winning the New York mayoral elections. That was unexpected and fun. Whoever picked the song… Cheers! Also, for ABC News: abcnews.go.com/Politics/zohr…

"Liver doc is angry at Goyal cause device is named Temple..."
Liver doc is angry at Goyal cause device is named Temple and not Church. He would have gone a little easy if the device was named anything other than Temple. He has a natural hatred all things Bharatiya. Proof is in, totally out of context, the ayurveda reference…..

This was Gwalior yesterday, in the afternoon of Diwali. The pollution is mostly just dust from construction. Happy Diwali 🪔

Metamorphosis isn't just about a man turning into an insect one day. It's kind of disturbing to think how Gregor was still worried about his family while they thought of him as a burden. It wasn't Gregor who truly underwent a transformation; it was his family, whose humanity gradually gave way to animalistic behaviour and a complete lack of morals.

The Hindu online doesn’t allow non-subscribers to even copy the heading, let alone a quote, before sharing. You may want to look into this BYW, the Hindu put even COVID-related articles written based on journal papers that were made freely accessible behind a paywall
Friendly reminder: We all do this sometimes, but if you enjoy the work of a journalist you're reading, please do think twice before sharing a PDF/screenshot. Consider instead sharing a quote with a direct article link. Subscription is what's going to keep journalism going!

Exactly why are there no side railings in the hill roads ?
⚠️Absolutely horrific incident from Chakrata, Uttarakhand. A car lost control, hit a roadside pole, and plunged deep gorge. One person lost his life while the other two injured! The car looked quite speedy for the hills..

Since 2023, more than 200,000 Dashers in New York City were underpaid or paid late under the City’s delivery worker pay rules. These errors were unintentional, but that doesn’t make them acceptable. Dashers should be paid in full, on time, every time. We take full responsibility, and we’re deeply sorry. We’ve reached a $131.5 million settlement with the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Every impacted Dasher will receive the amount they are owed, and they’ll be contacted directly with payment details. We understand the impact of even one missed or late payment. We’ve addressed the issues that caused these errors and made changes to prevent them from happening again. Read more here: about.doordash.com/en-us/new….

Drug addicts beating their drug supplier.
Frustrated that Instagram Reels wouldn’t stream properly due to poor 5G speeds, angry villagers in UP's Fatehpur tied a Jio technician to the mobile tower and demanded that senior officials come to the site immediately to fix the connectivity problems.

“इंडिया से हो? जो है वैसा ही दिखाना, आप लोग बहुत बढ़ा चढ़ाकर बोलते हो” ऐसा 2-3 लोगों ने नेपाल आपदा कवर करते हुए बोला। भारतीय और पत्रकार दोनों के नाते मुझे अच्छा नहीं लगा। लेकिन कई लोगों की हरकते भी ऐसी है, और सनसनी की आदत कि देश विदेश में कोई लतिया दे तो भी बुरा ना मानना मजबूरी होगी। मैंने पहली बार इंटरनेशनल मीडिया को कई दिन इतने क़रीब से देखा। कोई हड़बड़ी नहीं थी, किसी को मलबे में उतरकर गंभीरता दिखाने की जरूरत नहीं दिखी। बहुत सारे भारतीय पत्रकार काम कर हैं, सबके कपड़े जूते चप्पल भीगे ख़राब हुए होंगे, लेकिन वो सब सबूत नहीं दे रहे थे कि वो काम कर रहे हैं… काम करने वाले पत्रकार साथी कई मुश्किल झेलते हैं , अपने साथ भी हुआ लेकिन वो सब गिनायेंगे थोड़े। आख़िर में कम शब्दों में इतना ही कहूँगा कि ऐसा काम ना करो कि अगली बार लोग तुम्हारे चक्कर में आम पत्रकारों को भी लोग काम ही ना करने दें #Media #Journalism #Jounalist #Nepal

Something I’ve been thinking about every time I meet a friend: we need more large, clean public spaces in our cities. Another thing missing from our major cities is public libraries.
“Saans lene ke bhi paise lagte hain?” 🇮🇳🇦🇺 Returning to Mumbai after moving to Australia, Indian woman Smidha says she noticed something she had never questioned before meeting friends often meant spending at a café, restaurant or mall. In Australia, she says, a park, beach or library can be enough. Her observation sparked a bigger question: Have our cities made us customers before letting us simply be people?

बिट्टू नाम का एक 20 साल का लड़का और उसके 3 दोस्त वह काम कर रहे हैं जो पूरा सिस्टम नहीं कर पाया — भारत के मध्य प्रदेश के ब्यावरा में बुरी तरह प्रदूषित अजनार नदी की सफ़ाई। पूरी वीडियो यहाँ देखें - youtu.be/1xr_jAxbPWU
Meet Surendar Singh Chaudhary - known on Instagram as Bittu_Tabahi. While many influencers are busy chasing views, likes and brand deals, this young man chose to create real change. He took it upon himself to clean an entire river that was buried under garbage - all by himself. 🌱👏 We need more creators who don't just talk about change, but step forward and become the change. People whose actions inspire others to take responsibility for their surroundings. If you believe such genuine work deserves recognition, support him. Like, comment, follow and subscribe. Let's make sure real work gets more attention than empty content. ❤️
