Best Deal for You

Finding love in the digital age can be a challenge. Dating apps expose us to a wider range of people, but with so many options, true connections feel harder to find.  However, there's always hope! A woman recently shared a heartwarming story on X (formerly Twitter) about her positive experience on dating app Bumble. It all started with a match with an orthopaedic specialist. When she mentioned suffering from shoulder and neck pain, he didn't stop at just prescribing medication. This kind-hearted doctor went the extra mile, offering valuable advice to help her prevent future discomfort.  The prescription says "Take tab Mobizox 1-0-0 x 7 days (after food). Tab Pan-40 mg 1-0-0 x 7 days (before food)." Additionally, he recommended "Ointment Flexabenz" for her, telling her to apply it in a single layer rather than rubbing it in. "Apply hot packs too. Maintain posture care," he further said. Sharing the screenshot from a chat with the orthopaedic spe

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday rejected the suggestion that the electoral bond issue caused a setback to his government, saying no system is perfect and any shortcoming could be improved upon. He also said those who are "dancing" over the matter will repent it. "Tell me what have we done that I should see it as a setback? I firmly believe that those dancing over it (bond details) and taking pride in it are going to repent," he told Thanthi TV in an interview when asked if the electoral bond details have caused a setback to the ruling BJP. The Prime Minister said it is due to the electoral bond system put in by his government that the sources of funding and its beneficiaries could be found out. If a trail is available today, it is because of the presence of bonds, he said, asking if any agency can tell about the sources of funding and their beneficiaries for the polls before 2014, the year he came to power. "No system is perfect. There can be shortc

Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra, known for his influential presence on social media, recently opened up about his early days in his career and also talked about his humble beginnings. Mr Mahindra's comments came in response to billionaire Elon Musk, who highlighted the lack of cinematic representation of those working in the car manufacturing sector.  It all started with a post on X (formerly Twitter) by user DogeDesigner. "A million movies about cars. But hardly any movie about manufacturing. Someone should make a movie and tell the world how hard it is to do high-volume manufacturing," the X user tweeted. Reacting to this, Mr Musk highlighted the lack of representation of manufacturing in popular culture, noting the extensive focus on garage inventors in movies.  "Many movies exist about a lone inventor in a garage having a eureka moment, but almost none about manufacturing, so it's underappreciated by the public. Compared to the insane pain of reachin

The Delhi Police on Saturday filed its first chargesheet, spread across about 8,000 pages, in the UAPA case against NewsClick and its founder Prabir Purkayastha for allegedly pushing Chinese propaganda, naming him and the firm owning the portal as accused. The final report was filed by the Delhi Police Special Cell before Additional Sessions Judge Hardeep Kaur. According to special public prosecutors, Akhand Pratap Singh and Suraj Rathi, the chargesheet names Mr Purkayastha and PPK NEWSCLICK Studio Private Limited as accused. Court sources said the chargesheet contains over 8,000 pages, including annexures. The matter has been posted for further proceedings on April 16. The court granted extensions to the Delhi Police to file the chargesheet, first in December last year and then in February this year. Later, on March 20, it again extended the time required to file the final report by 10 days after noting the submissions of the public prosecutors. Section 43 D of Unlawful Activitie

A youth, who is a college student, has filed a complaint with the police in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior district after transactions of Rs 46 crores occurred from his bank account, a police official said on Friday. The youth, identified as Pramod Kumar Dandotiya (around 25 years old), a resident of Gwalior, came to know about the matter when he received a notice from the Income tax and GST that a company has been registered through his PAN card which is being operated in Mumbai and Delhi 2021. Mr Dandotiya said, "I am a college student in Gwalior. After the notice from Income Tax and GST, I came to know that a company has registered through my PAN card which is being operated in Mumbai and Delhi 2021. I do not know how my PAN card has been misused and how the transactions have been done." He further said that as soon as he got the information from the Income Tax, he talked to the department concerned. After that he tried to file a complaint to the police several times but

The Kerala police on Friday arrested a man who allegedly spread false propaganda on social media that a lockdown would be declared in the country for three weeks to tamper with electronic voting machines (EVMs). The State Police Media Cell in a statement said that the arrested man, MV Sharafuddin, hails from Malappuram district of the state. The man had allegedly shared on social media a screenshot of a news story published during the Covid-19 lockdown as part of his propaganda, police said. This was discovered during a social media patrol conducted by the Kochi Cyberdome branch of Kerala police, the statement said. It also said that social media monitoring cells have been formed at cyber police headquarters, all ranges and all police districts under the leadership of the cyber division to detect those who are posting and spreading false news on social media in view of the coming Lok Sabha elections in the state on April 26.

Nothing seems to be going in Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya 's favour as the franchise suffered their second defeat in as many games of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Wednesday. After a narrow defeat to Gujarat Titans (GT) in their season opener, MI were comprehensively beaten at the expense of SRH, with the hosts registering the biggest-ever team total in the history of the IPL. SRH posted 277-3 to beat MI by 31 runs in a six-hitting festival at the Uppal Stadium. While Hardik has been under the scanner for his captaincy, a video has emerged on social media, claiming that bowling coach Lasith Malinga ignored the MI captain, who went on to sit beside an agitated Kieron Pollard . The video was shared by several users on social media platform on X.

Since 1952 nobody won from Mau in Uttar Pradesh for a second consecutive time, but Mukhtar Ansari broke the myth by winning the seat five times in a row beginning 1996, including twice as a Bahujan Samaj Party candidate. He last contested the assembly polls in 2017.  Mukhtar Ansari, who has been in jail since 2005 in various criminal cases, was brought to Banda jail by the Uttar Pradesh government from Punjab after a court battle. The gangster-turned politician had over 60 criminal cases pending against him. He was sentenced in eight cases since September 2022 by different courts of Uttar Pradesh. In April 2023, Mukhtar Ansari was convicted and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for the murder of BJP MLA Krishnanand Rai. He was sentenced to life in prison on March 13, 2024, in a case related to the use of forged documents for obtaining an arms licence in 1990. The gangster, who hailed from Mau, was believed to have strong influence in Ghazipur and Varanasi districts as well. His n

 Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM) member Sanjeev Sanyal has said that 5-8 years of preparation for civil services examination by lakhs of students is a 'waste of youthful energy'. Mr Sanyal said one should only attempt UPSC or other such examinations if one wants to become an administrator. "As mentioned, it (is) perfectly fine to attempt the UPSC or other such exams, but only if the person wants to be an administrator. "The problem is that lakhs of people are spending 5-8 years repeatedly doing this exam as a 'way of life'. This is such a waste of youthful energy," he said in a series of posts on social media platform X. Mr Sanyal further said it may come as a surprise, but his view is shared by most bureaucrats, who cleared the exam at some point. "An attempt or two is fine for those who really want this path, but spending your entire 20s for it...is unhealthy," he said. The economist pointed out that an entire in

Amrita Roy, the erstwhile royal of Bengal's Krishnagar who will take on Trinamool Congress's Mahua Moitra, told NDTV today that given the law and order situation in the state, she thought she had a role to play. Citing the recent allegations of land grab and sexual harassment emanating from Sandeshkhali against Trinammol Congress strongman Sheikh Shahjahan, she told NDTV in an exclusive interview that such events happen every other day. "Some things are coming out. Other things are being kept under wraps... So I feel that I have a big role to play... this cannot go on," she told NDTV. "People are scared to come out or talk... in case they get a bad name. They are being deprived of their fundamental right," she added. The idea of contesting, though, was of the BJP, which had approached her, she told NDTV. She said though she had been apolitical all her life, she had accepted "since it was a good platform". The BJP, which is hoping to win at lea

Conspiracy theorists said Tuesday that the Baltimore bridge collapse resulted from an intentional attack -- despite officials quickly saying there was no evidence for that. Hours after a container ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, sending vehicles and people plunging into the US city's frigid harbor, users across X and other platforms blamed everything from terrorists to Israel. Among the most widespread posts came from influencer Andrew Tate, who told his nine million followers on X that the 300-meter vessel "was cyber-attacked." "Lights go off and it deliberately steers towards the bridge support," the US-born Briton said. "Foreign agents of the USA attack digital infrastructures. Nothing is safe." InfoWars founder Alex Jones, found liable in multiple defamation lawsuits for claiming the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting was a hoax, reposted the allegation. "Looks deliberate to me," he said. "A cyber-attack i

Russia's security state has been ruthlessly effective at detaining Vladimir Putin's opponents but was caught off guard by a mass shooting near Moscow, raising questions about its priorities, resources and intelligence gathering. Charged with hunting down Ukrainian saboteurs inside Russia, with keeping anti-Kremlin activists in check, and with disrupting the operations of hostile foreign intelligence agencies, the FSB, the main successor agency to the Soviet-era KGB, has its hands full. That, say former US intelligence officials and Western security analysts, helps explain why it may have overlooked other threats, including that posed by Islamist militants, such as ISIS-K, which claimed responsibility for the attack. "You can't do everything," Daniel Hoffman, a former senior CIA operations officer who served as the agency's Moscow station chief, told Reuters. "You dial up the pressure on the locals and sometimes you don't get the intelligence you n

Pakistani and Indian social media influencers Sufi Malik and Anjali Chakra have called off their marriage and decided to split. In separate posts on Instagram, they said the reason behind them parting ways was "infidelity committed by Sufi". The same-sex couple won hearts on the internet in 2019 after they shared pictures and videos of them wearing traditional South Asian outfits and dancing under rain. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anjali (@anjalichakra) "This may come as a shock, but our journey is shifting. We have decided to call off our wedding and end our relationship due to infidelity committed by Sufi," Anjali said in a post adding that she wished for "absolutely no negativity" to be directed toward Malik. Sufi also took to Instagram to share a post about the split, admitting to cheating on her fiancee, a few weeks before their wedding was scheduled to take place. "I made an

At least nine mosques in Uttar Pradesh's Aligarh and Sambhal districts have been covered with tarpaulin sheets ahead of Holi to prevent them from being smeared with colours, police said on Sunday. The step was taken after talks with religious leaders to maintain law and order situation, police officials said. In Aligarh, at least two mosques have been covered. One of them is Halwaaiyan mosque in the Sabzi Mandi area, and the other is located at Delhi Gate, Circle Officer (City) Abhay Pandey told reporters. Mr Pandey said that a flag march was conducted in the sensitive areas with a message of peace and police pickets have been set up in the old city areas. In Sambhal, the district administration, in agreement with the Muslim community, has covered some mosques with tarpaulin sheets to avoid dispute. Additional Superintendent of Police (North) Shrish Chandra told PTI that like last year, six-seven mosques in Sambhal have also been covered with tarpaulin with mutual consent, bec

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud recalled a recent incident when he faced "trolling" and "vicious abuse" for adjusting his seating during a hearing and highlighted the need for judicial officers to manage stress and ensure a work-life balance. He was speaking after inaugurating the 21st Biennial State Level Conference of Judicial Officers titled, "Equity and Excellence for Futuristic Judiciary", organised by the Karnataka State Judicial Officer's Association. Speaking on work-life balance and stress management - one of the topics of the two-day conference, he said the capacity to manage stress is significant in the life of a judge, especially for district judges. As judicial officers, they regularly engage with vulnerable litigants. Many of the people who come to the courts are stressed about the injustice caused to them, he said. "Sometimes in their dealings with us as judges, they cross a line. As Chief Justice of India, I see so many l

Britain's King Charles is proud of Kate, Princess of Wales, for her courage in speaking about her treatment after it was discovered cancer had been present following her recent operation, Buckingham Palace said on Friday.

The Gujarat High Court on Friday asked Oreva Group, the company responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Morbi bridge that collapsed on October 30, 2022, killing 135 persons, to provide jobs or monthly remuneration to families who lost their earning member. The division bench of Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal and Justice Aniruddha Mayee was hearing a suo motu PIL on the incident. It also asked the company to provide a two-bedroom house in "Parel or Lower Parel area" of Mumbai as compensation to a 23-year-old woman who was injured in the bridge collapse and currently works in a firm in Bandra Kurla Complex in the metropolis. During Friday's hearing, the bench asked the government and the company to expedite the process of creating a trust to look after the compensation and rehabilitation of victims. About the rehabilitation of those who are now suffering from partial or full disability, the court said, "These people must be permanently adopted. They have

The US Department of Justice sued Apple on Thursday for illegally maintaining a monopoly for its iPhone by stifling competition and imposing exorbitant costs on consumers. The lawsuit, also brought by multiple US states, attacked the iPhone for raking in hundreds of billions of dollars by making it difficult for consumers to switch away to cheaper smartphones and devices. The long anticipated case against Apple sees the company founded by Steve Jobs in 1976 clash with Washington after largely escaping US government scrutiny for nearly a half century. It joins Amazon, Google and Facebook-owner Meta which are also facing antitrust lawsuits in the United States. News of the lawsuit sent shares in Apple down by as much as 3.75 percent on Wall Street on Thursday. At the heart of the case is Apple's alleged exclusionary practices that set strict and at times opaque conditions on firms and developers seeking to reach the iPhone's 136 million US users. According to the lawsuit, t

Nepal's only billionaire, Binod Chaudhary, is under the lens of the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) in connection with a government land-grab case. The matter came to light after CIB wrote a letter to Nepal's House Speaker, informing him of their ongoing investigation. Mr Chaudhary, a lawmaker from the Nepali Congress in the lower house of the Nepal Federal Parliament, is being investigated for allegedly privatizing land belonging to the Bansbari Shoe Factory, a government entity. Hobindra Bogati, a senior officer at CIB, submitted a letter at the Parliament Secretariat informing House Speaker Dev Raj Ghimire about the investigation against the lawmaker in the land embezzlement case. The CIB has also given Mr Chaudhary a deadline until Thursday morning to provide an explanation of the case to the investigating authority, otherwise he might face arrest. Mr Chaudhary is accused of illegally acquiring 10 ropani (54758.621 square feet) of land from the Bansbari Leather Shoe

A Jabalpur resident planning to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls walked into the collector's office here on Wednesday with Rs 25,000 in coins for payment as security deposit while obtaining the nomination form. Vinay Chakraborty, who wants to enter the poll fray in Jabalpur as an independent candidate, paid Rs 25,000 as security deposit in the denominations of Rs 10, Rs 5 and Rs 2 coins. "I made the payment of Rs 25,000 in denominations of Rs 10, Rs 5 and Rs 2 coins," he told reporters. Chakraborty said there was no facility at the collector's office to pay through digital or online mode therefore he paid the amount in coins which were available with him. "I want to contest the Lok Sabha elections as an independent candidate," he said. Jabalpur district returning officer and collector Deepak Kumar Saxena told reporters that the payment made in coins by the prospective candidate was received and a receipt of the same was given to him.

Police spokesman Argemis Colome said in an email that on Monday at 12:39 am (0439 GMT) police "were dispatched to the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort, in reference to a male that jumped from a balcony."

President Vladimir Putin won a record post-Soviet landslide in Russia's election on Sunday, cementing his grip on power though thousands of opponents staged a noon protest at polling stations and the United States said the vote was neither free nor fair. For Putin, a former KGB lieutenant colonel who first rose to power in 1999, the result is intended to underscore to the West that its leaders will have to reckon with an emboldened Russia, whether in war or in peace, for many more years to come. The early result means Putin, 71, will easily secure a new six-year term that would enable him to overtake Josef Stalin and become Russia's longest-serving leader for more than 200 years. Putin won 87.8% of the vote, the highest-ever result in Russia's post-Soviet history, according to an exit poll by pollster the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM). The Russian Public Opinion Research Centre (VCIOM) put Putin on 87%. The first official results indicated the polls were accurate. &qu

A 17-year-old JEE aspirant in Rajasthan's Kota who had been missing for five months was rescued from Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram, police said on Saturday. The boy from Bihar went missing after leaving his hostel room in October. He was recovered from Thiruvananthapuram's Shivgiri area on Thursday and handed over to his parents after being counselled. Superintendent of Police (Kota City) Amrita Duhan said in a press note that the boy, who hails from Raghopur-Supaul in Bihar, had been preparing for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) in Kota and living in a hostel in the Vigyan Nagar area. His father lodged a missing person's report on November 9, stating that his son had left the hostel on October 5 and did not return. Acting on the complaint, the police' anti-human trafficking cell began inquiries. However, the boy had changed his mobile number and social media accounts, Mr Duhan said. A police team, acting on an input, reached Kerala on March 8 and, after an

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose Liberals are trailing badly in the polls, on Friday said he thought about quitting his "crazy job" every day but insisted he would stay in office until the next election. That vote must be held by October 2025 and recent surveys of public opinion show the Liberals would be crushed by the right-of-center Conservatives. Pollster say voters are tired of Trudeau, who first took office in November 2015. "I could not be the man I am and abandon the fight at this point," he told French-language broadcaster Radio-Canada in a lengthy interview. Asked whether he thought about quitting, he laughed and replied: "I think about quitting every day. It's a crazy job I'm doing, making the personal sacrifices ... of course, it's super tough, it's super boring at times." Last year, Trudeau and his wife Sophie announced they were separating after 18 years of marriage. The Conservatives say they will ax a carbo

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has released a report highlighting the world's poorest countries based on GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP). While GDP is a measure of a country's total economic output, PPP takes into account the cost of living, providing a more accurate picture of living standards, according to The Forbes. The report paints a stark picture, with South Sudan ranking as the poorest country globally, with a GDP per capita PPP of just $492.72. The world's youngest nation, which gained independence in 2011, faces significant challenges due to political instability, ongoing conflicts, and limited infrastructure. Country GDP Per Capita 1: South Sudan $492.72 2: Burundi $936.42 3: Central African Republic (CAR) $1,140.00 4: Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) $1,570.00 5: Mozambique $1,650.00 6: Malawi $1,710.00 7: Niger $1,730.00 8: Chad $1,860.00 9: Liberia $1,880.00 10: Madagascar

The recently concluded Test series between India and England was a tough test for the Bazball style of cricket made famous by the Ben Stokes -led side under coach Brendon McCullum . The visitors won the first Test in Hyderabad but were completely outplayed in the next four games as they slumped to their first series defeat in the 'Bazball' era. Veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin pointed out a major flaw in Bazball as he explained in his latest YouTube video that no form of cricket can be played in a similar pattern and the lack of adaptability ended up being the biggest problem for the England side. “Test cricket, or any other form of cricket for that matter, cannot be played like an airplane on a runway. We cannot step on the pedal and accelerate till we take off! It's the same as driving on highways. Sometimes, when I think of it, is it because of how they drive in England? Driving in England is bliss. No one comes in between. You can keep driving in the same lane. We

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Friday an application filed by the Election Commission seeking modification of the operative portion of its March 11 order in the electoral bonds case. The poll panel said the order had noted that copies of the documents submitted by it to the Supreme Court in sealed cover during the course of hearing be maintained at the office of the Election Commission. The EC said it did not keep any copy of the documents and added that they may be returned so that it can comply with the court directions. A separate petition filed by NGO Association for Democratic Reforms challenging the exclusion of the Chief Justice of India from a panel for the selection of the chief election commissioner and election commissioners was also scheduled to come up for hearing on Friday. However, the matter is not shown in Friday's list of business on the Supreme Court website. A bench headed by Justice Sanjiv Khanna on March 12 had told advocate Prashant Bhushan, re

President Joe Biden needled "loser" Donald Trump Wednesday, in his first battleground campaign stop since the two rivals secured their parties' nominations for what promises to be one of the most rancorous elections in US history. Speaking to supporters in Milwaukee in the crucial swing state of Wisconsin, the Democrat also blasted his hard-right Republican nemesis for describing immigrants as "vermin." The return to the campaign trail came a day after incumbent Biden, 81, and Trump, 77, both won enough delegates to clinch their parties' nominations for a rematch in November. "A lot of you helped me in 2020 and we made sure he was a loser. And we're going to make sure that happens again, right?" Biden told local supporters and volunteers in Milwaukee -- the same city where Trump and his party will hold the Republican National Convention in July. Biden has taken to repeatedly calling Trump a loser, knowing it rankles the defeated former pres
