            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;The story of 80-year-old Kolkata street musician Bhagwan Mallick has touched thousands of people after a video about his life went viral on social media. Among those moved by the video was industrialist Anand Mahindra, who offered to support the elderly violinist. Sharing the video on X, Mahindra said he wanted to contribute after seeing Mallick's passion and years of struggle. He also pointed out that the video did not include details on how people could reach or help the musician.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&rsquo;d like to contribute, along with many others, who I know will be moved by his passion&hellip;The video didn&rsquo;t seem to provide details of how &amp;amp; where. https://t.co/hAkvZDbWev&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&mdash; anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) June 24, 2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Wanted Fresh Air': Drunk Man Sleeps on 11,000-Volt Power Line, Viral Video Stuns Internet (WATCH)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Lifetime of Music and Struggle&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bhagwan Mallick has spent decades playing the violin on the streets of Kolkata, not for fame but to earn enough to survive. According to content creator Aradhana Chatterjee, who first shared his story in May, Mallick lost his parents at a young age and learnt to play the violin from his father.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After his father's death, music became his only source of income. Since childhood, he has performed on the streets to support himself and his family.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Aradhana Chatterjee (@storiesbyaradhana)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Delhi Police Shares XUV700 Driver's Apology Video After Dangerous Wrong-Side Stunt (WATCH)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even at the age of 80, Mallick continues to play every evening despite poor eyesight and an old violin that had become badly damaged. He reportedly earns only around Rs 100 a day and lives in a rented house with his wife, who often sits beside him while he performs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Support Pours In&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;After Anand Mahindra's post, several social media users shared Mallick's details, helping direct more attention towards his situation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlier, Aradhana had said that people could usually find him near New Town Bus Stand, DLF subway and New Town Art Street in Kolkata between 5 pm and 11 pm. She also appealed to caf&eacute;s, event organisers and community groups to invite him to perform.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In an update shared earlier this month, Aradhana revealed that public support after she posted the video had helped raise ₹1 lakh for Mallick. She also gifted him a new violin, giving the veteran musician fresh hope after decades of hardship.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;A video of a former IT employee explaining why he left his corporate job to drive a cab has struck a chord with millions on social media. The clip was shared by Akash Gupta, founder and CEO of electric vehicle rental platform Zypp Electric, and has quickly gone viral, prompting a wider conversation about income, job satisfaction and work-life balance.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Check out the post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Akash Gupta | KaashSeAkash (@kaashseakash)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Viral Garib Rath Tragedy Fuels Calls for Better Medical Emergency Response on Indian trains&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Driver says income has doubled&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the video, Gupta speaks to the driver while travelling in his cab and asks about his monthly earnings. The driver says he now earns between Rs 80,000 and Rs 90,000 a month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Gupta congratulates him and asks about his previous job, the driver reveals that he worked in the IT sector for nearly 19 years, earning around Rs 40,000 per month before deciding to leave.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Asked why he quit, the driver gives a simple answer: &quot;There was no freedom there.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Gupta asks if he feels free now, the driver smiles and replies, &quot;Yes.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The driver also shares that his wife now runs her own beauty parlour, adding that the family has built a different life after stepping away from the corporate world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The video went viral, getting over 4.7 million views in just one day and more than 2 million comments. The comments section was flooded with reactions. While some people praised the driver for his bold move, others pointed out the challenges of being a driver, like dealing with traffic and rising fuel prices.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Viral CCTV from Gujarat's Ambaji Temple Shows Man Hiding Donation Money During Cash Counting | WATCH&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Internet divided over the claim&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The video has crossed millions of views and attracted thousands of comments, with users expressing mixed opinions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many people praised the driver for choosing happiness over a traditional office job. Some said being self-employed gives people greater control over their time and daily routine, while others felt the story highlighted that success should not be measured only by job titles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, several users questioned whether the driver's earnings reflected his actual profit. They pointed out that expenses such as fuel, vehicle maintenance, insurance and platform commissions can significantly reduce take-home income.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Others were surprised that someone with nearly two decades of experience in IT was earning only Rs 40,000 a month. A few users also suggested that working as a cab driver comes with its own pressures, including long hours, traffic and unpredictable demand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Stay alert': DTC Driver's Warning Forces Suspected Pickpockets off Bus, Video Goes Viral (WATCH)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More than just a salary debate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Beyond the income figures, the viral video has started a broader conversation about what people expect from their careers. For some, financial growth is the top priority. For others, flexibility, independence and peace of mind matter just as much.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although the driver's exact earnings could not be independently verified, his story has encouraged many people to rethink what makes a career truly rewarding.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

He asks, &ldquo;Kya kar rhi hai kaan me lead lgaake,&rdquo; referring to the earphones in her ears.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few moments later, the mother slaps the girl, leading to a loud argument in the room. The daughter appears upset and repeatedly says she was studying.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Padh rahi thi mai,&rdquo; she says several times while pointing towards her books.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the mother, she had returned home earlier and had been calling out to her daughter, but the girl could not hear because she was wearing earphones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The mother says, &ldquo;Tabhi toh mai keh rahi hu tujhe awaaz hi nahi aa rahi,&rdquo; while trying to remove the earphones from her daughter&rsquo;s ears.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daughter says she was studying with headphones&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Throughout the argument, the daughter keeps defending herself. At one point she says, &ldquo;Arre padh rahi thi mai, ye dekh lo padh rahi thi,&rdquo; (I was studying, see I was) while showing her books.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The brother then questions why she was using earphones while studying. Replying to him, the girl says, &quot;Kaan me headphone lgaake hi toh padh rahi thi or kaise padhti? (I was studying with earphones, how else was I supposed to study?)&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the argument becomes more heated, the frustrated daughter throws her book against the wall and says, &ldquo;Arre padh rahi thi mai, dimaag khraab kar rhe ho bematlab ka.

(What will happen to you in your marital home)&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The daughter's reply quickly caught attention online. She responds, &ldquo;Jo tumhara hora hai vahi hoga mera. (the same that's happening with you)&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At another point in the clip, the mother also asks her son, who is recording the video, &ldquo;Tu keh nahi sakta tha ki sabzi bana le?&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Social media users divided over the video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the video spread online, users gave sharply divided reactions.

Parents decisions may be wrong, but their intent is never wrong.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another person commented, &ldquo;If I do same with my parents next minute they will through me out of home.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some users strongly criticised the family&rsquo;s behaviour and said the daughter deserved privacy and respect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One user wrote, &ldquo;Parents have no right to barge in like this and misbehave she is an individual.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Parents have no right to barge in like this and misbehave she is an individual, First they should learn Tamiz and space&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&mdash; Kruts (@Kritical_62) May 23, 2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another said, &ldquo;These types of people are the reason why many people is forced to marry strangers and kills the love.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am supporting that mother and brother.&amp;nbsp;Itni batameez ladki hai kaise chilla rahi thi apni maa pe wth.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;A video from Delhi has gone viral after it showed scooters and motorcycles using a cycle track that was built to provide a safe space for cyclists, especially children. The clip was reportedly recorded on the Guru Harkishan Marg cycle track. It begins with four to five children happily riding their bicycles along the dedicated lane. Moments later, two-wheelers are seen entering the same track and continuing to ride through it.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Ravleen Singh Anand (@ravleensinghanand)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hidden Camera Exposes Alleged Affair Between Two Teachers at Uttar Pradesh School, Both Suspended&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The person recording the video questions the riders and can be heard asking where children are supposed to cycle if motorcycles and scooters continue using the lane meant only for bicycles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parent says safe cycling experience was ruined&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The video was shared with a caption explaining that the children had travelled nearly 15 to 20 minutes from home to enjoy a safe cycling experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the post, the family chose the dedicated cycle track believing it would provide a secure place for children to ride freely. Instead, they found motorcycles and scooters using the same path.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They appealed for better civic sense and respect for public spaces. They also urged the concerned authorities to take notice of the issue and ensure the track is used only for cycling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bengaluru's Biggest Metro Line Gets a New Timeline: Here's Why Commuters Must Wait Until 2033&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Social media users demand stricter enforcement&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The video quickly attracted a large number of reactions, with many users expressing frustration over people ignoring traffic rules.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several users said the problem was not the lack of infrastructure but the lack of civic sense. Others suggested installing CCTV cameras on the cycle track and issuing heavy fines to anyone riding a motor vehicle there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many also called for physical barriers or bollards at entry points to stop motorcycles and scooters from accessing the lane.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mixed reactions online&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While most users criticised those riding on the cycle track, some felt the person recording the video should have confronted the riders instead of only filming the incident. The person who recorded the viral clip later shared another video showing him confronting people riding motorcycles and scooters on the dedicated cycle track. In the video, he stops several riders and questions why they are using a lane meant only for cyclists. Most of the riders appear unfazed and continue on their way. One scooter rider even responds by saying he is &quot;riding a cycle&quot; and another says he will only take a U-turn, while others ignore the questions and leave without engaging.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Ravleen Singh Anand (@ravleensinghanand)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Four-Year-Old Critically Injured After Falling From First Floor of Shopping Complex in Karnataka, Video Surfaces&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many suggested using the Delhi Traffic Prahari app or sharing vehicle registration numbers with the traffic police so action could be taken against violators.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some users also tagged the Delhi Police, Delhi Traffic Police and senior government officials in the comments, asking them to improve enforcement and protect dedicated cycling infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Debate over civic responsibility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The viral video has once again highlighted the challenge of protecting public infrastructure meant for pedestrians and cyclists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many social media users said building dedicated cycle tracks alone is not enough. They argued that regular enforcement, proper barriers and greater public awareness are equally important to ensure such spaces remain safe, especially for children learning to cycle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WATCH: Innova Flips Repeatedly in Dramatic Karanthakkad Junction Crash, Fresh Safety Concerns Raised&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;The Maharashtra government has announced that the sale of Sting energy drink and other intoxicating substances will be prohibited within a 500-metre radius of schools. The move comes after concerns were raised over the possible health effects of such drinks on children. The decision was announced in the state Assembly by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Minister Narhari Zirwal while responding to a question raised by BJP MLA Vikram Pachpute.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Restriction Around School Campuses&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Zirwal said the FDA has been directed to strictly enforce the new restriction. If the sale of Sting or any other intoxicating substance is found within 500 metres of a school, authorities will take immediate action against those responsible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He said the government agreed that concerns over the easy availability of energy drinks near schools were valid and required action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Planning to Use a WhatsApp Username? Here's What Meta Says About Safety, Scams and Privacy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Schools Asked to Spread Awareness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apart from enforcement, the government has also asked schools to organise awareness programmes to educate students about the health risks linked to energy drinks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Health experts have often warned that many energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine and sugar, making them unsuitable for regular consumption by children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rs 927 Crore Cash, 27 kg Gold Seized in Iraq Raids, And the Viral 'Gold Underwear' Claim&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Demand for Stricter Rules&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the Assembly discussion, Vikram Pachpute also asked whether the government would consider banning the sale of energy drinks to children below the age of 18.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MLAs Rahul Kul and Varun Sardesai also called for tougher measures to prevent children from easily buying such beverages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Responding to the demand, Zirwal said the government would strengthen awareness campaigns in schools while ensuring that the proposed restriction around educational institutions is effectively implemented.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(With inputs from agencies)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;A video of Indian musician and world traveller Benny Prasad proudly showing a stack of 16 filled passports has taken social media by storm. The passports, packed with visas and immigration stamps from around the world, tell the story of an extraordinary journey that very few people have ever completed. The viral clip has amazed viewers, with many calling Benny one of India's greatest travellers and praising his determination to visit every recognised nation on Earth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by MTP - Most Traveled People (@mosttraveledpeople)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A World Record That Inspired Millions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Benny Prasad created history on 22 November 2010 when he became the fastest person to travel to every country and territory recognised in his record. He completed the remarkable journey across 245 nations, including Antarctica, in just six years, six months and 22 days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His travels were not simply about collecting passport stamps. Benny travelled across continents performing music, meeting people from different cultures and sharing a message of hope wherever he went.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Patna's New AC Lounges Give Delivery Workers a Cool Place to Rest During Summer Heat&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From Personal Struggles to Global Recognition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Benny's story is even more inspiring because of the challenges he faced during his teenage years. At the age of 16, he battled severe depression and chronic asthma. Instead of letting those struggles define his future, he transformed his life through music and travel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He invented the Bentar, known as the world's first bongo guitar, and performed for audiences ranging from Presidents to people living in some of the world's most remote places, including the tiny Pacific island of Pitcairn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, he continues supporting young people through Chai 3:16, a Bengaluru-based caf&eacute; that offers a listening space for those facing depression and emotional challenges.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;80-Year-Old Violinist's Lifelong Struggle Moves Anand Mahindra, Internet Rallies Behind Him&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Internet Applauds the Incredible Journey&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The passport video quickly filled with messages of admiration. One user wrote, &quot;This is wow. I have a vision to visit 100 countries one day.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another commented, &quot;Legend made it before social media.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several people described Benny as the &quot;real OG traveller from India&quot;, while another viewer admitted they could not imagine &quot;all the paperwork it would have taken.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Ruth's Cafe (@ruthscafe.hyd)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Man Sleeps on 11,000-Volt Power Line, Viral Video Stuns Internet (WATCH)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Others called him a &quot;real legend&quot;, an &quot;inspiration&quot; and congratulated him for proving that dreams can become reality with determination and purpose.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;A heartwarming video of a man preparing breakfast and office tiffin for his wife every morning has gone viral on social media, with thousands of people praising his caring nature and simple daily routine. The man, who works from home, regularly shares short videos showing how he wakes up early, cleans the kitchen, cooks meals and packs lunch for his wife before dropping her to office. His calm and thoughtful routine has touched many viewers online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Made for my Wife (@madeformywife)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The viral clip was shared with the caption, 'Loving her quietly, every single day.' In the video, the man explains that working from home gives him enough time to take care of household work and support his wife in small but meaningful ways.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Morning Routine Wins Internet&rsquo;s Attention&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The video shows the man preparing breakfast and lunch while his wife gets ready for office. He carefully chops vegetables, cooks food, packs rotis and cleans the kitchen side by side.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also drops his wife to office after preparing her tiffin. In one comment reply, he explained that finding autos and cabs is often difficult, so he prefers driving her himself. He added that it also helps him step outside because work-from-home life keeps him indoors most of the day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many social media users said they were impressed not just by the cooking, but by the care, patience and effort shown in the videos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Husband From Parallel Universe'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The comment section quickly filled with emotional, funny and supportive reactions. Many women jokingly called him a &ldquo;husband from a parallel universe&rdquo; and asked where such husbands could be found.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Made for my Wife (@madeformywife)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One user wrote, &ldquo;Diksha is so lucky.&rdquo; Another joked, &ldquo;I will wear your photo around my husband&rsquo;s neck like a lucky charm.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several users praised his parents for raising him with kindness and respect. Others said such behaviour should become normal in relationships instead of being treated as something unusual.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A user commented, &ldquo;This is true partnership. Household work should not depend on gender.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mixed Reactions Also Surface&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;While most comments were positive, some users questioned whether the videos reflected real daily life or were created mainly for social media.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few people also argued that household work should be shared equally by both partners. Others criticised society for reacting with surprise when a man helps with cooking and cleaning, saying women have quietly managed homes for years without receiving similar praise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Made for my Wife (@madeformywife)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some viewers even jokingly claimed the video looked &ldquo;AI-generated&rdquo; because they found the husband&rsquo;s routine too perfect to believe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video Starts Bigger Conversation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The viral clip has now become more than just a cooking video. It has sparked wider discussions online about marriage, gender roles and shared responsibilities at home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many users said the videos bring positivity to social media and show that care in relationships can be expressed through everyday actions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the videos continue gaining views online, people are calling the man&rsquo;s routine simple, thoughtful and refreshing in a time when small gestures often receive the most attention.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

The post quickly went viral and attracted hundreds of reactions from people across the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Many users defend the vendor and rava dosa style&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;While some viewers agreed with the criticism, a large number of users defended the vendor and said the preparation shown in the clip was normal for rava dosa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several people pointed out that rava dosa batter is usually thin and spread differently from regular dosa batter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One user wrote, 'Rava dosa is made like this'.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another person said, &ldquo;This is how crispy OG rava dosa can be made. Many hotels follow a different style, which tastes like thin rava oothappam.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is how crispy OG Rava Dosa can be made.Many hotels follow a different style, which tastes like thin Rava Oothappam. I don't like those as it's not authentic Rava Dosa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&mdash; GC - Against WAR ழ்  (@gopschennai1) May 25, 2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some users also said the criticism came from people unfamiliar with the dish.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another user wrote, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s rava dosa, its usual preparation only.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many people also said the dosa only looked unusual because the batter was being spread quickly by hand before cooking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few viewers agreed that using hands for mixing batter and pouring from a plastic mug did not look very hygienic, but they still said the cooking style itself was not wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One user commented, &ldquo;Nothing blasphemy about this. Far better than making cheese khichdi on dosa.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nothing blasphemy about this. Far better than making cheese kichidi on dosa. Also rava dosa is done exactly like this.&amp;nbsp;Let the poor man live in peace&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&mdash; Adithya (@adithya_mm) May 25, 2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another said, &ldquo;Food habits and tastes change every 100 kilometres in this country.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hygiene concerns also raised online&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even though many users defended the vendor, the video also sparked a separate discussion around food hygiene and street food safety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some viewers questioned why the batter was stored in a plastic mug instead of a steel container. Others said gloves should be compulsory for street food vendors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One user wrote, &ldquo;Totally unhygienic.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another commented, &ldquo;Won&rsquo;t feel like eating anything that&rsquo;s coming out of a plastic mug.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A user said hygiene and aesthetics matter and explained why he avoids eating street food.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Others, however, argued that small vendors should not be attacked online over normal cooking practices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One user said, &ldquo;Have some respect and empathy towards small vendors.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another added that the post looked like &ldquo;bait&rdquo; made only to attract attention and online arguments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Debate over food and social media reactions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The viral discussion also turned into a larger debate about food culture, regional tastes and social media outrage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some users joked about how dosa has become &ldquo;the most abused food&rdquo; because of modern experiments involving cheese, sauces, chocolates and fizzy drinks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Others argued that traditional foods evolve over time and that street vendors often create new versions based on local tastes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The discussion also highlighted how strongly people feel about regional dishes like dosa, especially when questions about authenticity are raised online.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

The clarification comes after the video sparked debate over societal expectations.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;A woman, Keerthana Menon, recently became the centre of attention after a video showing her shaving her head spread widely across social media. Many users claimed she had taken the step to protest family and societal pressure to get married, with several praising what they believed was a bold message against traditional expectations.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Keerthana.Menon (@keerthana.menonn)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Viral CCTV from Gujarat's Ambaji Temple Shows Man Hiding Donation Money During Cash Counting | WATCH&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the video, Keerthana is seen calmly getting her head shaved while collecting the falling hair in a cloth. The clip carried the caption, &quot;POV: My mom planned my marriage,&quot; leading many viewers to assume it reflected a real-life situation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keerthana sets the record straight&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;has now dismissed those claims, saying the viral story is not true. Speaking to NDTV, she explained that there were no marriage plans and no pressure from her family. She said the caption led people to make assumptions that did not match reality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to Keerthana, shaving her head was simply an impulsive personal decision. She said she enjoys trying new looks and woke up one morning feeling like making a change. After sharing the idea with her mother, the two visited a nearby temple, where she had her head shaved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She has also explained the full story in a YouTube video on why she shaved her head.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Calls to normalise personal choices&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keerthana said she believes women shaving their heads should not be treated as unusual. In her view, the video became viral mainly because she is a woman, highlighting how people often react differently to women's appearance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The discussion also reminded many users of another viral video shared earlier by Instagram user @kajals_move_. Unlike Keerthana, she said she shaved her head because of constant pressure from her family to get married.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by kajju (@kajals_move_)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Viral Video of Biker Damaging Newly Laid Road Triggers Debate Over Reckless Stunts and Road Quality (WATCH)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by kajju (@kajals_move_)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She described the decision as deeply personal and said she wanted to push back against the expectations placed on her. She also questioned why women are judged more harshly than men for making personal choices about their appearance, adding another perspective to the wider debate on marriage and social norms.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;A wedding in Madhya Pradesh's Indore has gone viral after heavy rain flooded the marriage venue, forcing the groom to carry the bride through ankle-to-knee-deep water. The unusual scene has caught the attention of social media users, with many calling it a memorable wedding while others raised serious safety concerns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;इंदौर में बारिश से मैरिज गार्डन में भरा पानी, दूल्हे ने दुल्हन को गोदी में उठाया। ऐसे हुई शादी pic.twitter.com/9d3TBFOoHu&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&mdash; SanjayGupta_Journalist (@sanjaygupta1304) July 7, 2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jharkhand Woman Smashes Scorpio After Son Dies in Crash, Viral Video Leaves Internet Heartbroken&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heavy rain turns wedding venue into a pool&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Indore has been receiving continuous rainfall over the past few days, with the city recording a large share of its July rainfall in the first week itself. Amid the downpour, Purva and Vaibhav went ahead with their wedding at a marriage garden in the city's western part, according to a report by Amar Ujala.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rainwater, estimated to be around one-and-a-half to two feet deep, collected around the venue. Guests were seen carefully lifting their clothes as they walked through the water to reach the dining area. Shoes and slippers were also seen floating around the flooded mandap.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nature's Most Unusual Flood Scene: Snakes, Rats and Birds Share Shelter to Escape Rising Waters in Gujarat&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bride and groom complete rituals despite waterlogging&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The couple decided not to let the rain interrupt their wedding. As the flooded mandap made walking difficult, the groom lifted the bride in his arms and carried her to the place where the wedding rituals were held. After the ceremony, he again carried her through the water while smiling for family members and photographers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Videos from the wedding quickly spread across social media, where many people described the ceremony as a true monsoon wedding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How people reacted online&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The viral clip received a mix of funny comments and serious reactions. One user joked that even heavy rain could not stop anyone from getting married.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;At an age when many people begin thinking about retirement, 56-year-old Reshma spends her days travelling across Bengaluru, delivering Amazon parcels to support her family. A cancer survivor, she has been working as a delivery associate for the past five years, refusing to give up despite serious health challenges and mounting financial pressure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Every day begins with a delivery route&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reshma starts her day at 7 am by loading parcels into her electric rickshaw before heading out on her delivery route. Years ago, she underwent surgery for oral cancer, which permanently changed the left side of her face. One of her eyes waters constantly, and she cannot fully lift one of her arms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite these physical difficulties, she climbs flights of stairs every day to ensure customers receive their packages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Many people ask me, 'Why do you do this job if you can't climb stairs?' But if I quit, who will run my family?&quot; she says.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Adjust For Just 1 Km': Pune Cab Driver's Request to Women Mid-Ride Triggers Safety Debate (WATCH)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COVID-19 forced a complete career change&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before becoming a delivery associate, Reshma stitched shirts for garment factories from her home. She earned around ₹1,000 a day and managed to support her family through tailoring.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down garment factories, she lost her only source of income. Left with no steady earnings, she joined Amazon as a delivery associate to make ends meet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One tragedy after another&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The family's struggles began in 2014 when her son was diagnosed with kidney failure. They borrowed around Rs 7 lakh for his treatment, but despite spending seven months in hospital, he could not be saved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just a year later, Reshma was diagnosed with oral cancer. In 2016, she underwent a major reconstructive surgery in which doctors used skin and bone from her thigh to rebuild part of her face.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bengaluru Law Student Stabbed to Death by Man for Rejecting His Brother's &lsquo;Love&rsquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daily earnings, but debts continue&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, Reshma earns around Rs 700 a day through deliveries. Her daughter works at a car showroom and earns about Rs 15,000 a month. Even with both incomes, the family continues to struggle financially.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To manage household expenses and her daughter's wedding, the family borrowed another Rs 7-8 lakh through microfinance loans. They even purchased gold earrings and a chain on loan for the wedding but may now have to return the jewellery because they cannot afford the interest.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Carrying the family's responsibility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to Reshma, her husband has not contributed much to the family's finances since their son's death. She says he developed an alcohol addiction after the tragedy, leaving her and her daughter to shoulder all the household responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I work all day just to earn enough for one square meal,&quot; she says.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Viral Video of Woman Hurting Three-Month-Old Nephew Sparks Outrage, Family Members Detained&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kindness keeps her going&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reshma says not every day is easy. Some customers ignore her calls or insist she climb several floors despite her visible health condition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still, she remembers the people who treated her with kindness. One customer handed her Rs 500 and told her to buy something to eat. The gesture, she says, is something she will never forget.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A growing reality for older workers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reshma's story reflects a larger trend across India. Rising living costs, debt, health problems and the absence of pension security are forcing many people in their 50s and 60s into the gig economy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, older workers are increasingly seen delivering food, groceries and parcels for companies such as Amazon, Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit and Uber. Labour unions say many of them work 12 to 14 hours a day, with little hope of retiring anytime soon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bengaluru's Biggest Metro Line Gets a New Timeline: Here's Why Commuters Must Wait Until 2033&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;A heartwarming video of a woman helping thirsty monkeys drink water from a roadside tap has gone viral on social media, leaving viewers smiling. The clip captures a touching moment between humans and animals, with many calling it one of the sweetest videos they have seen this week. The video begins with a monkey trying to drink water from a tap. As it struggles to catch the flowing water, a woman steps forward to help by holding her hand under the tap.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Adv Nishad Soni (@adv_nishad_soni)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ex-Girlfriend's Call, Late-Night Fight and A Tragic Morning: Inside Bhilai OYO Hotel Death&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monkey gently guides her hands&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;What happens next surprised many viewers. The monkey gently takes both of the woman's hands and places them together under the running tap, turning them into a small bowl. It then calmly drinks the water from her cupped palms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just few moments later, another monkey carrying a baby approaches. Without showing any fear, it signals that it also wants water. The woman patiently cups water in both her hands again, allowing the second monkey to drink while the baby remains safely with its mother.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mumbai Thar Viral Video: Haryana-Registered SUV Hits Two Bikes, Drives Away&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Internet praises woman's kindness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The touching interaction quickly spread across social media, with thousands praising the woman's calm and caring nature. Many users said the monkeys' trust showed they felt safe around her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several comments called her an 'angel', while others wrote that offering water to thirsty animals is one of the greatest acts of kindness.

Her achievement has brought pride to her hometown, with many celebrating her journey from a humble background to one of the country's biggest beauty competitions.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Miss Universe India (@missuniverseindiaorg)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spoorthi was born and raised in a modest family in Udupi. Her mother works as a housekeeping staff member at a hospital in Manipal and has stood by her daughter's dreams through every challenge.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Dheeraj Cukke Anilkumar (@dheeraj.cukke)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite financial difficulties, Spoorthi remained focused on her education.

She now works full-time in Bengaluru while pursuing modelling alongside her corporate career.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spoorthi's road to the national stage was not easy. She first competed in the Karnataka regional round of the Miss Universe India pageant but did not win.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, the judges recognised her confidence, personality and potential. She was awarded a wild card entry, giving her another opportunity to compete. That second chance helped her qualify directly for the national finale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Miss Universe India grand finale will be held in New Delhi on August 23, where Spoorthi will compete against 50 contestants from across the country for the national title.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If she wins, she will earn the opportunity to represent India at the Miss Universe competition, making her achievement even more significant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spoorthi's journey has inspired many young people, especially those from small towns and modest families. From studying in a Kannada medium school to balancing a corporate job with modelling, she has shown that determination and hard work can help overcome difficult circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People across Udupi and Karnataka are now hoping she brings home the Miss Universe India crown and represents the country on the global stage.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;It's simply the most beautiful experience when you feel like home even miles away from your own country. And for a traveller from Portugal, this experience was not in a luxury hotel or a famous landmark but a quiet village nestled in the hills of Uttarakhand. A video shared by Ana Massano has gone viral on social media, showing her embracing the simple way of life in a Garhwali village near Rishikesh. From making rotis on a traditional chulha to carrying water in a metal gaagar balanced on her head, she happily joined villagers in their everyday routines.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Ana Massano | YOGA &amp;amp; TRAVEL (@_anamassano)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Get Down Brother, You'll Catch the Next Train': Viral Clip Highlights Daily Commuter Struggle (WATCH)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chai, henna and traditions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The clip also shows her enjoying cups of chai, applying henna, dressing up as a traditional Pahadi bride and laughing with local women and children. The warmth of the villagers and their simple lifestyle appeared to leave a lasting impression on her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the caption, she wrote that she never imagined finding a feeling of home so far away from Portugal. She said the people, the mountains, the friendships, the food, the children's laughter and the blessings of an elderly village woman made her feel a deep sense of belonging.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Describing the experience, she wrote, &quot;The feeling of belonging ❤️ Dil se Pahadi.&quot; She added that life in the village felt real because of its simplicity. With humour, she also revealed that villagers even dressed her like an Indian wife and jokingly tried to find her a husband.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Rs 500 Tip...

            <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Piramal Finance CEO Jairam Sridharan has gone viral after revealing what he found following 16-day digital detox. The Mumbai-based executive avoided emails, calls, WhatsApp, social media and news to spend uninterrupted time with family and friends. Returning to thousands of unread messages, he realised that work and world had continued without him.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;A social media post by Jairam Sridharan has struck a chord with professionals across India after he shared what happened when he completely disconnected from work and technology for 16 days. The Mumbai-based executive said he took a break from emails, work calls, WhatsApp, social media and even the news. Instead, he spent the entire period with family and friends, giving them his full attention without the usual distractions of daily work life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thousands of Messages Waiting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Sridharan returned to what he called &quot;normal life&quot;, he found more than 3,000 unread WhatsApp messages and around 2,000 unread emails waiting for him. There were also hundreds of missed calls, including some from senior people connected to his work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sharing his experience in a LinkedIn post, he listed ten things he noticed after returning. Among them were routine work events that had already passed, policy announcements that had been made while he was away, and the fact that many issues he thought might need his attention had continued without him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One point in particular caught the attention of readers. Sridharan wrote that &quot;everything in the world has carried on just fine without me&quot;, describing it as one of the biggest lessons from the break.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Also Read: 'Don't Make Him A Scapegoat': Uttarakhand Singer Narendra Singh Negi Backs Chef Held In Delhi Fire Tragedy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Reminder About Work-Life Balance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The CEO acknowledged that disconnecting completely comes with a cost. Important messages can pile up, calls can be missed and some events may pass unnoticed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, he said the chance to be fully present with family for more than two weeks was worth it. He described that experience as priceless and suggested that such breaks offer benefits that are difficult to measure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His comments quickly attracted attention from professionals, business leaders and employees who related to the challenge of staying connected all the time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LinkedIn Users Share Their Views&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many people praised the idea of taking time away from constant notifications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One LinkedIn user commented that the world continuing without any one person should be seen as freedom rather than a warning. Another said that a successful organisation should be able to function smoothly even when a key leader is away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several users also highlighted the importance of setting boundaries between work and personal life. They argued that regular periods of disconnection can help people recharge and return to work with better focus and energy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Also Read: 'If You Can't Walk, Why Go?': Viral Yamunotri Yatra Video Triggers Heated Debate Online&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Others added lighter observations. One user joked that the most surprising update would have been if the road outside the CEO's home had actually been repaired during those 16 days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At a time when smartphones, emails and social media keep many people connected almost every hour of the day, Sridharan's post has sparked a wider discussion about digital overload and work-life balance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Notably, the most memorable takeaway from his post is simple: while work continues, time spent with loved ones cannot be replaced. His experience served as a reminder that stepping away from screens for a while may sometimes be more valuable than staying connected all the time.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;A heartfelt video shared by a man leaving Noida after spending 14 years there has touched thousands of people online, especially corporate workers living away from home. The video was posted on Instagram by Vibhu Trivedi, who described his decision to leave the city 'forever' as both emotional and difficult. His honest reflections about career success, loneliness and the desire to return home quickly connected with viewers across social media.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;View this post on Instagram&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;A post shared by Vibhu Trivedi | Graphic Designer (@designwithvibhu)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many people said the video perfectly captured the hidden emotional side of city life and the pressure of constantly chasing success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From uncertainty to professional success&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the video, Trivedi recalled arriving in Noida in 2012 with fear and uncertainty about his future. At the time, he did not even know whether he would find a job.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the years, however, his career grew steadily. According to Trivedi, he started as a Junior Graphic Designer and later became a Creative Head.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also spoke about how much his lifestyle changed during those years. From walking everywhere on foot, he eventually reached a stage where he owned an SUV. He said he moved from designing advertising hoardings to even appearing on them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For many viewers, his story reflected the dreams and ambitions of thousands of young professionals who move to big cities hoping to build successful careers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Success brought emotional distance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite his professional achievements, Trivedi admitted that city life slowly made him feel emotionally disconnected.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Speaking about urban lifestyles, he said many people become trapped in routines filled with work pressure, EMIs and endless responsibilities while hoping for a better future someday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also said relationships in large cities often become based more on convenience than emotional closeness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One moment in particular deeply affected him. Trivedi recalled speaking to a falooda seller and asking what he would do first if he suddenly became rich.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The vendor replied, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll return to my village.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to Trivedi, that answer changed his thinking completely. He realised that beyond money and success, many people simply want peace, family and familiar surroundings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'My biggest flex is returning home'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trivedi shared the video with the caption, &ldquo;My biggest flex is returning home after 14 years, new location Kanpur.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The line itself became widely discussed online, with many users saying they also dream of one day returning to their hometowns after years of living in busy cities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some users praised his decision and wished him luck for the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One person wrote, &ldquo;Good decision bro.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another commented, &ldquo;Be with your parents, everything is secondary.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several users said they had either already returned home after years in cities or planned to do the same in future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One user wrote, &ldquo;I will also take this same decision bro.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another said, &ldquo;I also came back to my hometown after 11 years. There is so much peace.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mixed reactions online&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;While many supported Trivedi&rsquo;s emotional message, some people had different views. A few users argued that financial stability is still the biggest reality of life and not everyone can simply leave city jobs behind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One user commented that such thoughts usually come only after achieving financial comfort and stability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Others pointed out that not everyone has the option to return home because work opportunities are often limited in smaller towns and villages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still, the video started a larger discussion about modern corporate life, emotional burnout, loneliness and the value of family support.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>
