The second season of The Traitors has started with high drama, unexpected eliminations and accusations among the contestants. Hosted by Karan Johar, the reality show returned with its first three episodes, introducing viewers to a game filled with suspicion and betrayal. Comedian Munawar Faruqui became one of the biggest talking points after he was eliminated during the first Circle of Shaq. During the first round, Munawar openly accused Mallika Sherawat of being a traitor. However, his strategy raised suspicions among several contestants, who felt that he was behaving like a traitor himself. As the voting began, Munawar received the highest number of votes and was eliminated from the game. The actual traitors at that point were Kullu, Krystle DSouza and Harman Singha, while Shahneel Gill was later recruited as the fourth traitor in the second episode. After his elimination, Munawar addressed the contestants and said that he had expected to be targeted. He said, I had expected this to happen to me. I knew I would have to face it. This often happens to me. It is not the first time. This is not the first time that I have been targeted. He further accused the contestants of acting out of insecurity, adding, Call me a soft target or someone too good to be there. I can clearly see through the insecurities of other people, and you will see how end up looking. Because your insecurities will be visible. When Karan Johar asked Munawar to reveal whether he was a traitor or an innocent, the comedian appeared emotional and strongly reacted. F*** off, guys! I was playing the game! I wanted to play it well! I am an innocent! F*** off, insecure bunch of people. They thought I would eat them up here. They are all scared. Now recognise who is the one amongst you, he said. Meanwhile, Dalip Tahil became the first contestant to leave the game after receiving the least number of gold coins, while Karan Singh Magic became the first contestant to be murdered by the traitors. The Traitors Season 2 is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Quote of the day by Hilary Duff offers a simple but powerful reminder about personal freedom. Other people will form opinions, make assumptions and interpret our choices through their own experiences. We cannot control all of that, and trying to do so can distract us from the life directly in front of us. What we can control is how thoughtfully we respond, whose advice we value, which criticism we learn from and which judgments we leave behind.

Srinagar, Aug 12: More people in Jammu and Kashmir are coming forward for drug addiction treatment, with the number of persons treated at government-supported centres rising from 5,382 in 2021-22 to 46,491 in 2025-26, the Centre told the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday. The figures were shared by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment in response to an unstarred question by MP Sajjad Ahmad Kichloo on the assessment and prevention of substance abuse in Jammu and Kashmir. According to the ministry's data, 27,843 persons were treated in 2022-23, followed by 36,588 in 2023-24 and 40,546 in 2024-25. The number reached 46,491 in 2025-26. Since 2021-22, government-supported centres have reported 1,56,850 treatment cases across the Union Territory. Jammu reported the highest number of treatment cases during the period, followed by Srinagar, Kulgam, Bandipora and Rajouri. The ministry also referred to the National Survey on Extent and Pattern of Substance Use in India, conducted by the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC), AIIMS, in 2018. The survey had estimated opioid use in J&K at 4.91 per cent among people aged 10 to 75, followed by alcohol at 3.50 per cent. The government said treatment and rehabilitation services in J&K are being supported under the National Action Plan for Drug Demand Reduction (NAPDDR). At present, the department supports one Integrated Rehabilitation Centre for Addicts, three Outreach and Drop-In Centres, two Community-based Peer Led Intervention programmes, six District De-Addiction Centres and 21 Addiction Treatment Facilities in Jammu and Kashmir. The government has also been implementing the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan across the Union Territory. According to the ministry, 8,565 Nasha Mukti Mitra volunteers have joined the campaign in J&K. The campaign has so far reached more than 1.20 crore people in J&K, including over 69 lakh youth and 51 lakh women, the ministry said. The increase in treatment numbers indicates a rise in the number of people accessing government-supported treatment services, but the figures do not by themselves establish an eight-fold increase in the prevalence of drug addiction in Jammu and Kashmir.

People who genuinely enjoy spending time alone are not necessarily introverts, psychologists say. Research suggests that a preference for solitude may instead be linked to a strong sense of autonomy, where people feel comfortable making their own choices, following their interests and spending time without needing constant social approval. For some, alone time can also help them process emotions, think clearly and recover from overstimulation. The key difference is that chosen solitude can feel peaceful and fulfilling, while loneliness is usually linked to wanting connection but not having it.

Psychology says why people sometimes feel sad after returning from a great trip
A memorable trip can temporarily broaden your sense of what life can look and feel like. When you return home, familiar routines may seem less exciting or even somewhat limiting for a while. That feeling doesn't necessarily mean you need to quit your job, move abroad, or immediately plan another getaway. Sometimes, it simply reflects the contrast between an enriching experience and the comfort of everyday life.

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.

From everyday situations to moments of stress or uncertainty, this simple habit may play a more interesting role in how people process what is happening around them.

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.
