After more than four decades in Bollywood, Anupam Kher continues to explore different roles across films and theatre. However, the veteran actor says he does not want to be defined only by his acting career. Instead, he hopes people remember him as a good human being. Speaking about his journey and legacy with Hindustan Times, Kher said he believes there is still a lot left for him to accomplish. Abhi toh shuruwat hui hai, abhi toh bahut kuch karna haiI enjoy my journey on a daily basis. I don't look back. I'm very proud of the fact that I have achieved so much, but I don't gloat about it, he said. The 71-year-old actor added that he does not carry the pressure of his own legacy. I don't carry the burden of Anupam Kher on my shoulders. Every day is a great day. Every day life is beautiful. Every day I wake up, and I say, Thank you, God, I woke up. A lot of people do not wake up. When asked how he would like to be remembered, Anupam made it clear that being called a great actor is not his priority. I want people to remember that he was a good human being. That's it. That's what matters because mere se phele bahut kamal ke log aaye hain, aur mere baad bhi aayenge. Abhi Ashaji aur Dharam ji gaye hain, jinhone kitna kaam kiya tha, he said. He further added, I'm not interested in being remembered as a great actor. Of course, there have been so many great actors. But if I have touched people's lives somewhere, that is what stays with people for a longer time. Apart from films, theatre continues to play an important role in his life. Talking about his play Jaane Pehchaane Anjane, Anupam said, Theatre zinda rakhta hai mere andar ke actor ko aur insaan ko. It has a lot to do with reinvention. I get reinvented as an actor and as a person when I do theatre The joy of seeing the audience reacting and the fear of not being able to do the retake, the palpitation, the connecting with the audience, the bond with the co-actors Apne zinda hone ka ehsaas hota hai when I do theatre.

Dog scare grips Kotranka, around dozen people attacked
Rajouri, Aug 11:Fear of suspected rabies-infected stray dogs continues to haunt parts of Kotranka sub-division of Rajouri district, with around a dozen people reportedly attacked and bitten by dogs in the area. The situation first came to light late Sunday evening when a suspected rabies-infected dog attacked several people in Kotranka market. At least seven persons were subsequently taken to the Sub-District Hospital Kotranka for medical aid and treatment. The scare intensified after reports emerged that the suspected rabies-infected dog had also bitten other stray dogs in the area, triggering panic among the local population and raising concerns about the possible spread of rabies. As a precautionary measure, all government and private schools in the affected areas remained closed on Monday. Zonal Education Planning Officer (ZEPO) Kotranka, IshtyaqChowdhary said that a total number of forty four schools of seven panchayats of the area remained close on Monday and students were not allowed to attend the institution as a precautionary measure. He stated that students were not allowed to attend the schools on Tuesday also as a part of prevention amid bad weather conditions and heavy rainfall. ZEPO further stated that decision to keep schools open on Wednesday will be taken after consultation with sub divisional administration further informing that parents have been advised to remain cautious and not to send their wards alone. While students did not attend schools on Tuesday, teaching and non-teaching staff reportedly remained present. It has been learnt that the administration has ordered the closure of schools in the area in view of adverse weather conditions. However, amid continued fear of stray dogs, many parents have also been reluctant to send their children to school. The local population has urged the administration and concerned authorities to launch an immediate drive to identify and safely capture or neutralise suspected rabies-infected dogs and take necessary measures to contain the threat.

The psychology of decision-making suggests that how we feel while making a choice can be very different from how successful that choice ultimately turns out to be. Before a decision is made, the brain must weigh multiple possibilities and competing outcomes. Once a choice is made, however, attention shifts from considering alternatives to navigating a single path forward.

Talking to yourself out loud may seem like a strange habit, especially when someone else catches you doing it, but psychology suggests it is far more common and meaningful than people realise.

Ukrainian drone strike in Russia kills at least 13 people, injures 75
Washington DC , August 11: A Ukrainian drone strike deep inside Russia's Tatarstan region on Monday resulted in the death of at least 13 people, including a child, while injuring dozens of others, CNN reported, citing local authorities. The Ukrainian drone strike in the city of Nizhnekamsk marks the deadliest attack to hit the country in more than two years. Nizhnekamsk, located about 1,000 kilometres east of Moscow, is the site of the major, technologically advanced Taneco oil refinery, which Ukraine's armed forces said they had targeted. It was reported that a child was among those killed in Nizhnekamsk, according to the Russian Investigative Committee, while 21 people have been hospitalised, the region's press service said. Meanwhile, another four people were killed over the last 24 hours in the Russian region of Belgorod, which borders Ukraine, the region's acting governor Alexandr Shuvayev said on Monday. Referring to the videos circulating on social media, and geolocated by CNN, a huge blaze was seen raging and plumes of smoke rising from an area just outside the city, close to what appear to be the characteristic towers of an oil refinery. It was not clear exactly what was struck in the attack. The recent strike comes in the wake of both Kyiv and Moscow intensifying their aerial attacks against one another, while the frontlines of the war largely stagnate. Citing UN data, CNN reported that July was the deadliest month for Ukrainian civilians since April 2022. 1,396 people have been killed and 7,978 injured in the first six months of the year, an increase from 2024 and 2025, the UN said recently. The strike comes as Ukraine's long-range drone technology have seen improvement in recent months, and has demonstrated a newfound ability to frequently strike infrastructure deep inside Russia--such as oil refineries, tankers, power substations and broader energy infrastructure as well as warehouses belonging to Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries, CNN noted.

Public emotional control can come from fear of judgment, concern for others, past experiences or learned coping habits. Crying in private can provide a space where a person feels safe enough to process stress and emotion.
