Why are people putting aluminium foil in their freezer? It has 5 surprising cleaning and storage uses

Aluminium foil can have several practical uses in the freezer beyond wrapping leftovers. It can separate individual portions, provide an extra barrier against air and freezer burn, organise homemade foods and help protect against strong odours. However, avoid covering freezer vents or airflow channels. Acidic and salty foods should not be stored in prolonged direct contact with foil. Airtight freezer-safe containers remain best for long-term storage.

Why psychologists say getting older can feel lonely even when you have people around you and the hidden difference between being surrounded and being truly known

Loneliness can hide behind a full social life. Psychology reveals a painful truth about aging. The hardest part isn't physical isolation. It is something much quieter. It is realizing that being surrounded and being known were never the same thing. Work gives us daily crowd noise. It offers easy proximity, not genuine intimacy. When the room empties, you finally see the truth. You never needed more people. You needed to be understood. New U.S. research shows why having family, friends, and regular contact does not always prevent loneliness as people age. The real issue is emotional connection.

Pankaj Tripathi on Indian Cinemas global reach: People have come after understanding literature and culture and after seeing the world

Pankaj Tripathi believes the growing international appeal of Indian cinema is closely linked to filmmakers and writers returning to local stories, cultures and experiences. In a recent conversation with Hindustan Times, the actor reflected on how Indian films have increasingly found audiences beyond the country, with both mainstream and independent productions making their presence felt at international film festivals, award shows and overseas box offices. According to Pankaj, Indian cinemas biggest strength lies in its ability to present emotions and cultural experiences authentically. The core value of Indian emotion is empathy, said the two-time National Award winner. He pointed out that Indias diverse traditions and numerous festivals across different regions offer filmmakers a rich source of stories. So, when one incorporates that in stories, our culture, our emotions in an authentic manner, then that becomes global. That is the strength of Indian stories, he added. Pankaj also recalled a period when Indian films became heavily focused on urban and multiplex audiences. He feels that this shift distanced cinema from the wider Indian experience. There was a time when our stories became a little too urban. Jab waise writer the jo Mumbai mein baith ke Bharat ko samajhte the (we had writers who understood India sitting in Mumbai), he said. The actor believes the scenario has changed with filmmakers arriving in Mumbai from smaller cities and towns, bringing their own cultural backgrounds and perspectives to storytelling. Now, time has changed. Bhilai se Anurag Basu aa gaye, Jamshedpur se Imtiaz Ali aa gaye aur Allahabad se Tigmanshu Dhulia aa gaye. These people have come after understanding literature and culture and after seeing the world, he added. Meanwhile, Pankaj is set to appear in Ohh My Dog, an experimental film featuring a dog as its protagonist. Discussing its message, he said, There are people who dont like dogs or animals. The issue is that they fear them. But once you get to understand the animal, the fear will leave your body. Directed by Amit Rai, Ohh My Dog releases in theatres on August 7. Pankaj will next reprise his role as Akhandanand Tripathi in Mirzapur: The Film, which is scheduled to release in September.

Associated District Hospital GMC Handwara without dialysis centre, people suffer

The absence of a dialysis centre at the Associated District Hospital, GMC Handwara has been causing immense hardships to patients. The residents said that since the hospital caters to patients from across the district, the lack of a dialysis centre has forced kidney patients to suffer unnecessarily. Since my father is suffering from kidney failure, I have to get his dialysis done every week by paying over Rs 2000 at a private dialysis centre at Sopore. Had there been a government sponsored dialysis centre in Handwara, I would not have to pay the amount, said a local. I am unable to figure out how a district hospital has been deprived of a dialysis centre. This tells about the callous attitude of authorities towards this health institution, he added.

Reacting to the concern Superintendent Associated District Hospital GMC Handwara Dr Aijaz Ahmad Bhat said that a dialysis centre already stands approved which will be installed soon.
