Quote of the day by Kristen Stewart, 'Success is always something completely different to people. I feel like I've succeeded, if I'm doing something that makes me happy and I'm not lying to anybody' offers timeless powerful definition of true achievements, why happiness, authenticity, honesty matter more than fame, money or status and how living life on your own terms can lead to genuine fulfillment, personal growth

Quote of the day Kristen Stewart challenges the idea that success has one universally accepted appearance. Money, awards, recognition, and professional achievements can be valuable, but they are not the only measures of a life well lived. True success may be found in the freedom to do meaningful work, the ability to enjoy the present, the courage to make honest choices, and the integrity to remain genuine while pursuing personal goals.

A Florida homeowner swapped lawn grass for old soaked cardboard, mulch and native plants without digging up the lawn; the result was a low-maintenance front yard ecosystem where pollinators, birds, edible plants and people could coexist

A Florida homeowner transformed a conventional grass-covered front yard without removing the existing lawn. The project used soaked cardboard, organic material and thick mulch to suppress the grass, followed by stone pathways and plants selected for pollinators, birds and household use. The approach, known as sheet mulching, can gradually add organic matter while reducing the need for digging and chemical weed control. Research from the University of Florida also shows that carefully designed landscapes with less turf and efficient irrigation can reduce water use.

Vikrant Massey reveals his WhatsApp and car number were leaked after The Sabarmati Report was released: People threatened me openly

Vikrant Massey has opened up about the online abuse and threats he faced following the release of The Sabarmati Report. In a recent conversation with Shekhar Suman on his YouTube show Shekhar Tonite, the actor recalled how the backlash surrounding the film affected him personally, particularly at a time when he had recently become a father. The Sabarmati Report, released in 2024, was based on the 2002 Godhra train fire. Massey played one of the lead roles in the film, which drew strong reactions after its release, with some critics and viewers describing it as propaganda. Recalling the response he faced, Massey said he remained proud of being part of the film despite the criticism. I did a film called The Sabarmati Report, and I am extremely proud of that film. When I did that film, people used the word you used: propaganda. People called that film propaganda. We made it on the Godhra train burning. We made it on the burning of the Sabarmati Express, he said. The actor then spoke about the extent of the abuse he allegedly faced online. According to Massey, his personal information was circulated, and he received direct threats. I had to listen to a lot of abuse. My WhatsApp number was leaked. My car number was leaked. People threatened me openly, Massey recalled. The situation became particularly difficult because his son had been born around the same period. Massey said his baby was only six months old when he was dealing with the backlash and admitted that the experience had a significant emotional impact on him. My son had just been born then. He was just six months old. I was heavily impacted and I openly said this in the media, he added. Vikrant Massey on choosing family over career Massey also reflected on his decision to take a break from acting after a successful period in his career. He said, I had a great run in 2023 and 2024 due to 12th Fail, Sector 36, The Sabarmati Report. Around this time, I was away from my house and my son was born. I was finally feeling the fame, but there was a void. I was missing my family and my son, he said. Massey also recalled the emotional conflict he experienced as his career reached a high point. He said, I was having an unbelievable stage. I was recognised by the PM. He watched the film. I was overwhelmed with the entire experience. When my son started to say Papa, and I couldn't be there, I would cry and think, I did wish for success, but at what cost? Reflecting on the online criticism, Massey said his perspective eventually changed. However, over time, I realised that they are all cowards and it doesn't matter to me what people talk about me. What matters is that my own people are my responsibility. I am answerable to them, he added. Massey had announced a break from acting in December 2024, citing a need to recalibrate his priorities. He has since returned to screen work and was most recently seen in the Netflix series Musafir Cafe.
