The year was 1991. It was a different time where helicopter governments exercised extreme control over the economy.
Our demographic dreamed of pressure cookers, not vacations in tropical paradises. Simple pleasures made our lives good. But there was a snake in our garden of Eden

The story is about the rescue, the strong will to live of the dog Sena, and the love of humans that turned a nearly dead dog into a “miracle dog.” 🐶💗

Ruhi needs a foster in Bengaluru by 18 November. She's a little over two months old, tan with white paws, and follows people everywhere with her tail going. Dewormed, vaccinations under way.
ALT A tan and white indie puppy with a red collar and a small bell sitting on a tiled floor, above the words Ruhi needs a foster in Bengaluru, or a home anywhere in India.

For decades, North Block and South Block on Raisina Hill stood as the nerve centres of India's executive power, housing some of the country's most powerful ministries, including Home Affairs, Finance, Defence, External Affairs and the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
These ministries are now moving from the historic North and South Blocks to the Common Central Secretariat, bringing government departments into a shared complex within the public-facing Central Vista. Meanwhile, the iconic buildings on Raisina Hill are being transformed into public museums.
What once symbolised the concentration of executive power is now being opened to the people. From the corridors of governance to spaces of public heritage, this marks a symbolic shift in the relationship between the Indian state and its citizens.
Power belongs to the people; institutions exist to serve them.
Ladies and gentlemen, Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum.
Home to the world's largest museum display area, in the world's largest country.
Imagine New Delhi becoming home to the world’s largest museum display area?
Think scale. Think culture.
That is the vision behind the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum!
Today’s Cabinet decision will give impetus to transform historic North and South Block buildings into a magnificent celebration of Bharat’s civilisational journey.
From ancient knowledge systems, mathematics and astronomy to architecture, art, languages and spirituality, the museum will bring thousands of years of our heritage to life through immersive experiences and world-class galleries.
Buildings that have been centres of governance will now become a place where millions can discover, experience and celebrate the timeless richness of our civilisation.
A historic new chapter for India’s cultural heritage!

Naina Redhu (Naina) is widely called India's first Twitter user. She signed up on 13 July 2006 after an invite email, when it was still TWTTR.
Her own research later found Velu Alagianambi (atvelu) joined a day or two earlier (around 11 July) and posted the earliest known Indian-origin tweet on 12 July: "Heading out for a day trek !!" So atvelu is likely the true OG, with Naina the first Indian woman.

For two long hours, Maa wouldn't move. The villagers prayed, chanted 'Ulu Dhwani', and cried with folded hands. It was a moment when faith spoke louder than words.
Witnessed this extraordinary moment in Musthuli, rural Bengal, during Maa Boltala's immersion.
Some moments are beyond explanation; they can only be felt. 🙏
I agree. Or atleast have him marry a Chinese woman at the end to keep it real. They didn’t quite get there with Tomorrow never dies.

Pure candor on acting, directing, stage, and the trap of typecasting.
