Putting ice cubes in the washing machine: A viral laundry trick involves putting ice cubes in a dryer to help remove wrinkles. As the ice melts, it creates steam that can help relax light creases in clothing. The method works best on lightweight garments but may not be effective against deep wrinkles. Appliance technicians advise caution because excess water could potentially affect dryer components. A damp cloth or the dryer's steam setting can offer alternative ways to smooth wrinkles.

Psychology says people who avoid listening to voice notes may not dislike the person sending them
The next time someone leaves your voice note unopened, it may have far less to do with rejection than you think. They could be caught up with work, somewhere they can't listen comfortably, or simply waiting until they have the mental space to focus. Some people process written words more easily than spoken messages, while others find lengthy voice notes difficult to absorb.
The need for cognitive closure describes a psychological trait driving task completion. This trait influences how individuals approach uncertain situations and make decisions. Research shows higher need for closure leads to greater effort when tasks require sustained mental work. Completing puzzles and solving problems provides a satisfying sense of resolution. This psychological motivation helps explain why unfinished tasks feel compelling.
Priyadarshans upcoming thriller Haiwaan is among the films generating considerable anticipation ahead of its September 11 release. The dark thriller features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Boman Irani, Shriya Pilgaonkar and Saiyami Kher. While the trailer has already sparked interest, Boman Irani says that the perception of comedy continues to follow both him and Priyadarshan, despite the filmmaker having explored multiple genres throughout his career. The comedy stamp always chases me, Boman said during an exclusive interview with SCREEN. Boman was discussing Priyadarshans diverse body of work, which has included action, romance and drama alongside comedy. Although the filmmaker has ventured into different genres, his comic films remain among the works he is most closely associated with. The actor also opened up about his reunion with Priyadarshan after a gap of 12 years. Boman and the filmmaker had previously collaborated on the 2012 film Tezz, which also starred Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor and Kangana Ranaut. When asked why the duo took so long to work together again despite being described as a deadly combination of talent, Boman pointed to the filmmakers established group of collaborators. I think he had his own group of people whom he was comfortable with. Its like asking Raju Hirani, Why didnt you work with so-and-so actor? It becomes a family kind of situation, and I think thats great. But somehow, I was made to believe that I was the first choice for this role, Boman said. Haiwaan also marks the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan on the big screen after more than three decades. The actors last appeared together in Main Khiladi Tu Anari in 1994. With Akshay portraying a dark character in the upcoming film, Boman was asked whether audiences would accept him in a different kind of role. You watch 3 Idiots. Imagine 3 Idiots was not a good movie. Think about it. What would the acceptance of a character like Virus be? They would say, Irritating. But when the movie is good, everything gets accepted. You say, Oh well, that was very interesting. It was pretty good advice. Think of Munna Bhai MBBS. Sanjay Dutt was 44 years old, hardly a college-going student. Why did they accept it? The movie was good. The story was good, said the 66-year-old actor. Boman believes the same applies to Akshay and Saifs return as co-stars. He said audiences are likely to accept them if their performances and the overall film work. But if the movie was bad, then people would have questioned, How could they have cast Sanju? But the movie was great. So, there was no question of age. Having said that, they (Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan) will be accepted because they are good in the film. But the movie has to be good, and the movie is good, he concluded. Haiwaan is the official remake of Priyadarshans 2016 Malayalam film Oppam, which starred Mohanlal.

Exclusive: Zomato to lay off 250 people
Pripyat was a modern Soviet city of nearly 50,000 people before the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 forced its residents to leave. About 45,000 people were evacuated within three hours on April 27, many believing they would return. They never did. Today, abandoned homes, classrooms and the amusement park remain, while nature reclaims the city, making Pripyat a haunting symbol of the disaster's human cost.

This tendency can be rooted in introversion and a yearning for deeper relationships. Personal caution and introspective tendencies also shape their timing in conversations. Research has highlighted that personality traits significantly affect how we engage socially, showcasing that silence can sometimes reflect thoughtfulness rather than a lack of interest.

Power Tariff Hike: Omar Government Adds to the Burden of the People of Jammu & Kashmir
ADV SUNIL SETHI The decision to increase electricity tariffs in Jammu & Kashmir at a time when ordinary families are already struggling with the rising cost of living is deeply disappointing. More importantly, it raises a fundamental question of political accountability: what happened to the promises made to the people before the Assembly elections? The Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission has approved an average tariff increase of 6.83 per cent, applicable from September 1, 2026. For metered domestic consumers, the rate for consumption up to 200 units has increased from 2.30 to 2.45 per unit; for 201400 units, from 4.00 to 4.20; and above 400 units, from 4.35 to 4.60 per unit. These figures may appear small when viewed from the comfort of government offices. For an ordinary household, however, every additional financial burden matters. From Promise of Relief to Reality of Higher Bills The National Conference went before the electorate promising 200 units of free electricity. That promise naturally created expectations among families that desperately needed relief. Today, instead of experiencing the promised relief, consumers are confronting increased tariffs. The government may argue that its promise of free electricity and the general electricity tariff are technically separate matters. But politics cannot be reduced to technical explanations. The real question is what an ordinary voter understood when promises of cheaper or free electricity were made. People vote on the basis of promises and the reasonable expectations created by those promises. If financial constraints, distribution losses and the cost of purchasing electricity were realities after the election, they were realities before the election as well. Governments cannot discover economic realities only after obtaining the mandate of the people. Kashmir's Winter Cannot Be Viewed Through Ordinary Consumption Calculations The impact of electricity prices assumes an even greater significance in the Kashmir Valley. For people sitting outside Kashmir, electricity may be regarded primarily as a source of lighting and running household appliances. During Kashmir's severe winter, electricity is intimately connected with survival, warmth and basic human comfort. Temperatures fall below freezing in many areas. Water pipes freeze. Snowfall disrupts normal life. Families depend increasingly upon electric heaters, boilers, geysers, heating blankets and other appliances. The elderly, children and economically weaker families suffer the most. This means that electricity consumption during the harsh winter months cannot simply be treated as discretionary consumption. A Kashmiri family using additional electricity to keep its children or elderly parents warm is not indulging in luxury. It is responding to climatic necessity. And the timing is particularly unfortunate. The revised tariff becomes applicable from September 1 and will remain applicable through the approaching winter until March 31, 2027. The government should therefore ask itself a simple question: Is the period immediately preceding the harsh Kashmir winter the appropriate time to make electricity more expensive for households? Don't Make Consumers Pay for Inefficiency There is undoubtedly a financial problem in the electricity sector. Power has a cost. Distribution companies require revenue, and transmission and distribution losses have historically presented a serious challenge. But the solution cannot perpetually be to transfer the consequences of inefficiency onto honest consumers. The first responsibility of government should be to reduce losses, improve billing and collection, prevent electricity theft, modernise infrastructure and improve the efficiency of distribution companies. A family that pays its electricity bill regularly should not become the easiest source for balancing the books. Before asking consumers to pay more, the government must demonstrate what measurable reduction it has achieved in distribution losses and what administrative reforms it has undertaken to bring down costs. Efficiency must come before additional burden. The Government's Defence Does Not Answer the Political Question Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has defended the increase by arguing that the government never promised that electricity tariffs would remain static and that power continues to be substantially subsidised. That may constitute an administrative defence. It does not answer the political question. The issue is not whether electricity continues to receive subsidy. The issue is whether the government is moving towards the relief that was promised to the electorate or away from it. The people were promised 200 units of free electricity. They are entitled to ask when that promise will translate into meaningful relief in their monthly household budgets. A government cannot seek political credit for promises and subsequently seek refuge behind regulatory calculations when people demand their implementation. BJP Must Stand With the Consumer The Bharatiya Janata Party should unequivocally stand with the ordinary electricity consumer of Jammu & Kashmir. This is not an issue concerning Jammu or Kashmir alone. A shopkeeper in Jammu, a middle-class employee in Kathua, a farmer in the countryside, a pensioner in Srinagar and a family facing the freezing winter in north or south Kashmir all ultimately confront the same question: How much more can the household budget absorb? The BJP should demand that the Omar Abdullah government reconsider the tariff increase, particularly its impact upon domestic consumers, and immediately place before the people a transparent roadmap for fulfilling its electricity-related electoral commitments. Special consideration should also be given to the extraordinary electricity requirements of Kashmir during the winter months. If necessary, the government should explore a targeted winter electricity relief mechanism for vulnerable and middle-income domestic consumers in the Valley rather than allowing climatic necessity to translate into financial punishment. Promises Carry a Moral Obligation Democracy does not end when votes are counted. An electoral promise creates a political and moral obligation. Governments must either implement their promises or candidly explain why they cannot do so. What they cannot reasonably do is promise relief while seeking votes and subsequently impose additional burdens after coming to power. The people of Jammu & Kashmir have endured decades of difficulties. They deserve governance that reduces their burdens rather than adding to them. The BJP must therefore raise its voice firmly, both inside and outside the Legislature, and demand: Withdraw or substantially reconsider the burden of the power tariff hike on domestic consumers. Protect Kashmir's households during the harsh winter. Reduce distribution losses before passing costs to consumers. And, above all, honour the commitments made to the people. Electricity in Jammu & Kashmirparticularly during a Kashmir winteris not merely another commodity. For many families, it is warmth. It is security. It is a basic necessity of life. And a government elected on promises of relief should remember that before making that necessity more expensive. (The Author is the Chief Spokesperson of JK BJP)

NC bond with people unbreakable: Sagar
Srinagar, Aug 29: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference General Secretary and Khanyar MLA Haji Ali Mohammad Sagar on Saturday said attempts to weaken the party through propaganda and conspiracies would not succeed, asserting that its bond with the people remained strong. Addressing a meeting at the party headquarters at Nawa-e-Subha, Sagar said the National Conference was not merely a political party but a movement rooted in the struggles and sacrifices of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said the partys strength came from its people and its commitment to its principles, adding that conspirators sinister designs have always been defeated by the power of the people. Sagar said the National Conference had remained associated with the political awakening and democratic struggle of Jammu and Kashmir and had consistently raised its voice for peoples rights. The National Conference is a movement, an ideology and a sentiment. It lives in the hearts of the people, he said. Reiterating the partys demand for restoration of Articles 370 and 35A, Sagar said the NC would continue its democratic and constitutional struggle for the restoration of the political and constitutional rights of the people. He also urged the Centre to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir at the earliest, saying an elected government must have adequate powers and resources to govern effectively. Meanwhile, several public delegations met Sagar and apprised him of issues concerning their respective areas. He took up the matters with the concerned authorities and directed prompt action for their redressal.
