Motivational Quote of the day by Sophia Loren: I have never judged myself by other peoples standards... How can self-belief, personal standards and resilience help you face failure without resentment?

Today's Quote of the day by Sophia Loren explores self-belief, personal standards and the way we handle failure. Her words speak to a common struggle: comparing our lives with other peoples expectations. The lesson is simple but practical. Success feels different when we measure progress for ourselves. It also helps us face setbacks with greater responsibility, perspective and emotional strength.

A new job an achievement but serving the people is real responsibility: Ram Mohan Naidu

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 19 (IANS) Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu said on Saturday that getting a job is an achievement but serving the people is the real responsibility. He said that as part of the nationwide Rozgar Mela under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it was immensely heartening to distribute appointment letters to 200 youth in Visakhapatnam. On this occasion, as over 51,000 youth across the country step into new jobs, my heartfelt congratulations to each one of them. May this job bring new confidence to your life. A new opportunity to serve society. Through this platform, I urge you to keep learning continuously, enhance your skills, and move forward to provide even better services to the people, the minister posted on X. Naidu further said: Heartiest congratulations to all 51,000+ youth joining government service across the country. May this new job become a new opportunity to serve society and the nation with dedication. A new job. A new responsibility. A new chapter in nation-building. Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri said that he was privileged to participate in the 20th edition of Rozgar Mela with the youth of Sri Amritsar Sahib. As we travel through Amrit Kaal towards Viksit Bharat, our youth are not merely witnessing this journey; they are powering it with their ideas, aspirations and determination, and are shaping the future. Young recruits who received their letters today are entering public service at a transformative moment when technology reshapes governance, AI changes workplaces, and digital platforms bring citizens closer to the State, Puri posted on X. Yet technology can never replace integrity and empathy. As PM Modis message of Nagrik Devo Bhava reminds us, the person must always matter more than the file. This is the mantra with which young people embarking upon their careers must serve the country and citizens, he mentioned. Indias growing startup ecosystem, manufacturing, digital services, electronics, emerging technologies and energy sector are creating new opportunities. Free Trade Agreements are opening new markets, partnerships, and career opportunities for our talented youth. With landmark reforms, legislative changes and new initiatives, Indias energy sector is also playing an important role in this journey towards energy security and green transition. While we are strengthening existing energy infrastructure, India is also opening new energy frontiers like unlocking offshore potential through the Samudra Manthan Mission and turning waste into clean energy and livelihoods through GOBARdhan scheme, Puri highlighted.

Priority of India is our people: MoS Singh on Trump signing Russian Sanctions Bill into law, stresses independent foreign policy

Lucknow , September 19 : Union Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh on Saturday stressed that India will pursue an independent foreign policy and take decisions based on the country's interests, while responding to US President Donald Trump's signing of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 into law. Speaking to ANI, Singh said India's priority remains the country's people and that the government will take steps necessary to ensure their convenience, as well as the strength and stability of the country. The priority of the country of India and our government is our people, our people of 140 crores. We will take every step which is necessary for the convenience of our people. We will take every strong step for the strength and stability of our country, our population of 140 crores. We have our own independent foreign policy. We will not follow any country based on what our country is doing. We will do whatever is good for our country, Singh said. The remarks came after Trump signed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 into law on Friday, expanding statutory sanctions, tariffs and prohibitions targeting Russia and extending existing sanctions on Iran. The legislation gives the US President authority to impose tariffs of up to 100 per cent on goods from countries that meet specified criteria linked to purchases of Russian crude oil or natural gas and sanctions evasion. However, the measure does not automatically impose a 100 per cent tariff on any specific country. Addressing the issue of tariffs, Singh said India considers the duties being imposed to be unfair and maintained that New Delhi is not acting under pressure from any country. We always say that these tariffs that are being imposed are very unfair. And we are not under the pressure of any country. Energy is a very primary concern of ours. And wherever we find commercially viable, economical energy sources for our country and our people, we will take energy from there, Singh said. The new US legislation also targets Russian officials, financial institutions, defence-related networks and the country's so-called shadow fleet of vessels used to transport energy while circumventing Western restrictions. It further extends the Iran Sanctions Act for five years. The bill passed the US Senate by 86-11 in August before clearing the House of Representatives by 262-159 earlier this week. It was named after the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who was a leading supporter of the legislation. A key provision of the law allows the US President to impose targeted duties of up to 100 per cent on the five largest importers of Russian crude oil or natural gas, as well as countries facilitating Russian oil sanctions evasion. The legislation has particular significance for India and China, which remain among the major buyers of Russian crude. It creates a statutory pathway for potential tariffs on imports from countries that continue specified purchases of Russian energy. The law also provides the President with waiver authority under specified conditions, including certification to Congress that a waiver is in the national interest. Supporters of the measure have said it is intended to increase economic pressure on Moscow and reduce revenues supporting Russia's war in Ukraine. The legislation has also drawn criticism from some US lawmakers over the broad tariff powers granted to the President and concerns about their potential economic consequences. (ANI)

People could relate to the incident, became a 'national issue': Gurugram hit-and-run victim Sia

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS) After the Gurugram hit-and-run case involving biker Shivani Chauhan, alias Sia, said on Friday that the matter became a 'national issue' because everyone could relate to the incident, and that her fight is not just for her own benefit. The woman biker who was hit by a car while driving said, ...Everyone has supported this cause because everyone has related to this issue. Somewhere or another, some female biker, some girl in some way, or any ordinary person has experienced a similar incident happening to them at some point in their life. People who believe that the perpetrators must be punished are supporting this because there is no value left for humanity in people's minds anymore; there is no value left for a human life. People have begun to think they are above the law, she added. Sia claimed that the accused felt that they could escape from the charges levied against them. According to her, he law is at fault if a person feels that they are above it. I feel that if someone thinks that they are above the law, then it is the latter's fault for enabling such behaviour, by not punishing their ignorance and arrogance, Sia added. Speaking to IANS about the perpetrators who hit her, she said, They feel that by posting some videos, they can change the narrative. They can shift the blame and gain sympathy. I feel that strict action should be taken against the perpetrators, because this is not an isolated incident. If I am raising my voice today about injustice, then it is just not for me but for all others who might have faced similar circumstances, be it a man or a woman. I believe justice should prevail, and it should set precedence for another such incident. Meanwhile, a Gurugram court on Friday sent Kalyan Bainsla, the driver accused in the case, and his cousin Lavneesh to 14 days of judicial custody. Both the accused will be again produced before the court after 14 days.

Nepal flash floods death toll crosses 1400, over 6,100 people still missing

Six bodies were recovered from a tunnel at a hydropower project in Nepal on Friday as search operations continued for people missing after devastating flash floods hit the Himalayan nation last month killing over 1,400 people and leaving more than 6,100 missing. The bodies were recovered from the Audit-3 tunnel at the Upper Trishuli-1 project site in Nuwakot district by a joint team of security forces, the Nepal Army said. The Bhotekoshi flash floods, triggered by an ice-rock avalanche near the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26, devastated towns and villages in northern and central Nepal, killing at least 1,410 people and leaving 6,145 missing as of Thursday.

Sandys one of the nicest people Ive ever met in my life. She described Sandra as so funny, and also so protective, like you are with your family. I feel like Im related to her. Its just been great, because theres this real true familial feeling between all of us. Like a family, we teased each other so much, and its just been really, really fun. And theyre just so good. Getting to see them be Sally and Gillian right in front of my face was like absolutely insane. And the coolest part is, they are so different as people in real life. It was amazing watching what they brought to their characters. Its like, I was watching one of my favorite movies play out right in front of me. And I just cant believe my luck that I got to do that, King said. King also spoke about her on-screen sisterhood with Maisie Williams in Practical Magic 2 and compared their camaraderie to the relationship she shares with her real-life sisters. Talking about Maisie, she said: Kylie and Antonia are so cute together. Ive had the pleasure of working with Maisie Williams on this movie, and she and I have become so, so close. Im like, Wait, how have we not known each other forever? This was our first time working together, and its so special when you get to play sisters with someone that you really, really vibe with. Because the way that I am with my real-life sisters, were best friends. We never shut up and have so much to talk about, and thats kind of how Maisie and I are.

People's lives more important than politics: Karnataka CM Shivakumar

Digital Desk | Mangaluru (Karnataka), Sept 18 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister, D.K.

Speaking to the media near the Circuit House in Mangaluru ahead of the Cabinet meeting in the coastal city of Mangaluru, CM Shivakumar said the government would work keeping in mind the concerns and aspirations of the people. We will do politics on people's lives and issues, but not on people's emotions. Our government will work according to everyone's thinking and concerns, he said. He also said that there was no need for leaders of any political party to be apprehensive about the government's approach. During his visit to Mangaluru, Shivakumar said he visited the house where Mahatma Gandhi had stayed and had breakfast there. I went to the house where Mahatma Gandhi had stayed and had breakfast there. I had Mangaluru buns and dosa. I will go wherever the district ministers take me, he said. CM Shivakumar also interacted with social media influencers at a popular restaurant in Mangaluru over breakfast. After the Cabinet meeting, CM Shivakumar will address a press conference along with his Cabinet colleagues at the Mangaluru Deputy Commissioner's Office. CM Shivakumar had said the Karnataka government was planning to give a new direction to the coastal and Malnad regions by making effective use of the human resources and natural resources available in these areas. He said, The coastal region has a coastline stretching for 340 kms. We need to make proper use of this and give a new direction to the development of the region. We must create opportunities in the coastal and Malnad regions that can prevent people from migrating elsewhere. He said the coastal and Malnad regions have some of the most educated, aware and talented human resources in Karnataka. There is a need to provide opportunities and empower this human capital locally, he said, adding that the region was second to none. People from the coastal region have been raising several demands over the past 3040 years. Elected representatives, party leaders, BJP MLAs and MPs have also expressed their views and put forward their demands on the issue. They have expressed the expectation that if we do not support them, then who else will? I have taken note of many of their demands, Shivakumar said. He said all these issues would be discussed at the special Cabinet meeting scheduled to be held on Friday, and the decisions taken by the government would be announced subsequently.
