Why some people struggle to say no even when exhausted, according to psychology
Saying yes to others' requests can be a common pattern for people-pleasers, leading to stress and overcommitment. This habit stems from a fear of disappointing others, which can make saying no feel uncomfortable. Continued agreement may cause emotional exhaustion and hinder personal relationships. Effective strategies for setting boundaries include pausing before answering requests and practicing refusal in low-pressure situations.
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 22 (IANS) BJP MP Ashok Mittal on Thursday criticised the Opposition for holding protests, saying that it should focus on working for the country and its people instead of wasting time on demonstrations that cause inconvenience to the public. Speaking to IANS, Mittal said the Opposition should reach out to people and work to address their concerns rather than resorting to protests. Unfortunately, the Opposition is wasting its time on protests. They should work for the country and the people. Why don't they work for the public by reaching out to them? What will these protests achieve? They are wasting their own time and causing inconvenience to people, he said. He added that such protests often lead to traffic jams and force shops to shut, inconveniencing ordinary citizens. Traffic jams occur at various places, and shops have to close. This will only distance the public from them, not bring them closer. The matter is before the Supreme Court, which is examining it, while the Election Commission is also looking into it in its own way, Mittal said. The BJP MP also spoke about the drug problem in Punjab, alleging that anti-social elements, gangsters and drug smugglers were contributing to the crisis. He claimed that the alleged nexus between drug smugglers and government officials was allowing the problem to persist. Anti-social elements, gangsters and drug smugglers are spreading the drug problem in Punjab. However, this is possible because of the government's involvement. It is very unfortunate that the government, administration and drug smugglers are working together, with links between them. When our government comes to power, there will be no such collusion, and the problem will be resolved, he told IANS. Mittal also commented on India's ongoing trade negotiations with several countries, expressing confidence that an agreement with the United States would be finalised soon. He said India had already concluded trade agreements with the United Kingdom, New Zealand and several other countries, adding that negotiations with the US had reached an advanced stage. India has already completed trade agreements with the UK, New Zealand and several other countries. The agreement with the US is at the final stage. US President Donald Trump himself has said so, and his senior ministers have also visited India. That agreement will also be completed, he said. Emphasising that India's interests would remain paramount, Mittal said any trade agreement with the US would be finalised only after taking the country's priorities into account. It is clear that India will not compromise on its interests. Any trade agreement will be concluded with India's interests in mind and will prove to be a new milestone for India and its trade, he added.

Tiger Shroff firing case: Four more people, including two women, arrested
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 21 (IANS) The investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroffs car has taken a new turn, with Delhi Polices Special Cell arresting four people allegedly linked to the supply of weapons and efforts to help the shooters escape. Delhi Polices Special Cell, NDR unit, arrested four accused on October 20. They have been identified as Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, both residents of Sonipat district in Haryana, along with Radha, 23, from Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh, and Babita, 23, from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh. The investigation is examining the alleged movement of a pistol and ammunition from Amritsar to Mumbai, the role of intermediaries in delivering the weapon and the reported attempts to help the shooters leave the city after the incident. According to the police, investigators are examining the alleged roles of the four in transporting the weapon. Kunal had recently been released from jail on bail. He allegedly met Anil Pandit through a friend. The two subsequently began communicating through an encrypted messaging application, according to Delhi Police. Police allege that, on Pandits instructions, Kunal brought a pistol and 20 cartridges from Amritsar. Sumit reportedly accompanied him during the journey. According to the police account, Kunal met Radha around two months before the incident. He allegedly told her about his activities and subsequently persuaded her to carry the weapon to Mumbai. On October 15, Kunal reportedly took Radha and Babita to New Delhi railway station. The pistol was allegedly placed inside Radhas bag. On October 17, Radha and Babita reportedly arrived in Dadar and checked into a hotel. At around 11 am that day, a minor boy allegedly collected the bag from Radha near the hotel. Police are investigating who received the bag afterwards and how the weapon was allegedly used in the firing. The firing incident took place on the evening of October 18. According to Delhi Police, Anil Pandit subsequently told Kunal that the shooters were stranded in Mumbai and allegedly asked him to arrange their escape. On the same day, Radha and Babita reportedly left Dadar for Delhi aboard the Haridwar Express. The women were apprehended at New Delhi railway station on October 20, while Kunal and Sumit were detained in Sonipat. Following the firing incident, the accused reportedly fled to Surat in Gujarat, from where they boarded a Jaipur-bound train. Their alleged plan was to travel to New Delhi by bus before escaping to Nepal. Three accused were arrested by Mumbai Police in Kota, Rajasthan, in connection with the case. Further investigation is underway.

People disappointed with govt on political agenda, governance: MP Aga Ruhullah
Srinagar, October 20: National Conference MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Tuesday said Kashmir had been polarised rather than normalised since 2019, alleging that Kashmiris faced hostility both within Jammu and Kashmir and in other parts of the country. Commenting on attacks on Kashmir-based buses and people outside the Union Territory, Ruhullah said, Kashmir has been polarised instead of being normalised, and I have been saying this from 2019 until now. He alleged that Kashmiris were increasingly treated as suspects and held the BJP responsible for the hostile environment. The relationship between this state and the Union was not normalised in 2019. It was made hostile, and the responsibility for that hostility lies with the BJP, he said. Ruhullah also expressed disappointment with the Jammu and Kashmir government, saying it had failed to meet people's expectations on both the political agenda and governance after two years in office. People in Jammu and Kashmir have been disappointed, unfortunately. They should not have been, he said. Questioning the government's record on Article 370, employment, reservation, electricity, students' issues and prisoners, he asked, On which parameter can we say that the government has delivered anything that we can be proud of? Referring to former chief minister Farooq Abdullah's reported remarks that the abrogation of Article 370 was wrong, Ruhullah said the focus should be on concrete steps to reverse the decision. Everyone knows that the abrogation was wrong. You know it, I know it, and most people in India know it, he said. The question is: what are we doing to reverse that decision? On protests seeking accountability from the Election Commission, Ruhullah described the demonstrations as genuine and said they could signal a revival of democratic resistance. It is a genuine protest, and it seems democracy may be starting to breathe again after being suppressed over the past 10 to 12 years, he said.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 20 (IANS) Actress Bhagyashree has urged people to look beyond the traditional burning of Ravan this Dussehra and work on overcoming their own negative habits, including anger, jealousy, ego, and overthinking.

(Victory of good over evil. This is not just the story of Ram and Ravan, but a story that relates to all of us. That is because Lord Ram resides within each of us, while our bad habits represent the Ravan within. Give up lying and gossiping. Instead of focusing on what others say, concentrate on your own growth. Let go of anger and complaints, and embrace gratitude. There is no benefit in being jealous or comparing yourself with others.) Yad rakhe, aapki apni journey unique hai. Ahankar aur overthinking se zindagi nahi chalti. Agar apni hi soch ko sach maan kar chaloge, toh apna santulan kho baithoge. Jo apne haath mein nahi hai, usse chhod do. Aur sabse zaruri, dimaag ke shor ko shant kijiye, aur inner peace feel kijiye. Is dashara sirf Ravan ko hi nahi, apne andar ki buraiyon ko bhi dahan karo. Choose your tips for today. (Remember, your journey is unique. Ego and overthinking cannot help you move forward in life. If you believe that your own thoughts are always the truth, you may lose your sense of balance. Let go of things that are beyond your control. Most importantly, quieten the noise in your mind and experience inner peace. This Dussehra, burn not just the effigy of Ravan, but also the evils within yourself. Choose your tips for today.) For the caption, Bhagyashree wrote, #tuesdaytipswithb This Dussehra, lets go beyond burning Ravan and work on the negativity within us.

NTPHC Monbal lacks staff, people suffer
Kupwara, Oct 19: Residents of the Haril area have expressed strong resentment over the lack of staff at the New Type Primary Health Centre (NTPHC), Monbal, resulting in severe hardships for inhabitants of over 50 villages. The hospital caters to several upper reaches and remote villages, including Lahikote, Changdi, Monbal, Bandi, Malikpora, Utroosa, Kelshan, Londa, Haril, Jahama and Sheikhpora. However, it is facing a staff shortage, causing difficulties for residents. Residents alleged that the hospital, established two decades ago, had never been a priority for the authorities. We belong to a heavy snow-bound area, and due to the accumulation of several feet of snow and the lack of specialist doctors at NTPHC Monbal, we are forced to carry our patients on makeshift cots, walking several kilometres to reach Haril, from where we board passenger vehicles to reach Qalamabad or Handwara hospitals for treatment, said Nazir Ahmad War, a local resident of Haril. Residents said a dental surgeon used to visit the hospital a few days a week, but a replacement had yet to be appointed following his transfer. Residents also complained about the lack of basic facilities such as X-ray, ECG and USG services, which affects the smooth functioning of the hospital. They said that although they had been pressing for the appointment of specialists, including a gynaecologist, for years, their demands had gone unaddressed. We requested the authorities several times to make this hospital functional round the clock, but to no avail, said Salam Din, a local resident. Residents have urged Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) Langate, Sheikh Khursheed, to look into the matter so that their suffering can end and they can heave a sigh of relief.
