Meghalaya students' body backs people-centric governance, warns against erosion of public rights
Digital Desk | Shillong, Sep 8 (IANS) The Khasi Students Union (KSU) in Meghalaya said on Tuesday that it will not oppose any government initiative aimed at benefiting people through cooperation with local communities, but warned that it would intervene if government actions undermine the rights and interests of the people. KSU Central Executive Committee (CEC) Environment Secretary Shiningstar Kharbihkhiew said the organisations opposition was not directed at governments as such, but at actions that allegedly disregard the rights of local communities. We will not oppose any government which brings benefits through cooperation with the locality. What we have opposed is when the government tramples and forcibly snatches away the rights of the people, Kharbihkhiew said. He was speaking after administering the oath to newly appointed office-bearers of the KSU Mynkrem Unit at Mynkrem village in West Jaintia Hills district on September 7. Kharbihkhiew said the KSU steps in only when public interest and peace are affected by government actions. He urged the new unit to remain vigilant on issues concerning the local community and work in the larger public interest. The KSU leader also called upon young people to avoid early marriage and urged them to consider starting families only after establishing a stable livelihood. He said early marriage without adequate financial and social stability could adversely affect the community and contribute to its decline. KSU CEC Information and Publicity Secretary Pynshai Kupar Dkhar, meanwhile, urged the newly formed unit to play an active role in addressing social issues. He asked the youth to move beyond merely observing developments in society and instead take constructive action to improve their communities. There are three groups those who only watch what happens in society, those who make things happen, and the majority who dont know what happens. You should be among those who see and also act to improve society, Dkhar said. The meeting was chaired by KSU West Jaintia Hills District General Secretary Leningrad Tariang. District President Laitphar Syngkrem, KSU East Jaintia Hills Finance Secretary Shaniahskhem Dkhar, KSU Jowai Circle General Secretary Nipoi Shadap and Mynkrem village headman also attended the programme. The newly constituted Mynkrem Unit comes under the KSU Laskein Circle. The event witnessed participation from villagers and featured cultural performances by women and youth from the village.

Bigg Boss 20: Over 630 people work behind the scenes as show goes multilingual across six languages
Bigg Boss 20 has expanded its footprint across Indian television with the franchise being produced in six different languages. While the Hindi edition continues to be hosted by Salman Khan, the regional versions feature Vijay Sethupathi, Mohanlal, Nagarjuna, Kichcha Sudeepa and Sourav Ganguly as hosts for the Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and Bangla editions, respectively. According to an independent industry source, the scale of the latest season extends well beyond what viewers see on screen. The source said, With Endemol Shine India putting Bigg Boss 20 on air in six different languages, it was a grand, never-before-seen launch. But remarkably, the show has a massive workforce behind it that works tirelessly to bring this spectacle to the screen. More than 630 people are working behind the camera across different languages, from editors and on-ground staff to talent management teams and technicians. The multilingual expansion requires coordination across multiple production teams, with each language edition involving its own set of creative, technical and operational requirements. The source further highlighted the distinctive production design associated with the franchise and the challenge of managing its various teams. Bigg Boss functions as a powerhouse in itself, with every set featuring a different style and theme. Managing such a massive workforce across multiple languages is no easy feat, but Endemol Shine India has ensured that audiences can enjoy Bigg Boss across different languages, all at the same time, the source added. The Hindi version of Bigg Boss 20 continues to be fronted by Salman Khan, who has been associated with the franchise for several seasons. Meanwhile, the regional editions bring established names from the respective entertainment industries to the format. Vijay Sethupathi leads Bigg Boss Tamil, while Malayalam superstar Mohanlal hosts Bigg Boss Malayalam. Nagarjuna returns as the host of Bigg Boss Telugu, Kichcha Sudeepa leads Bigg Boss Kannada and former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly hosts the Bangla edition. The simultaneous presence of the franchise across six languages places a considerable operational responsibility on the production teams working behind the scenes. From technical execution and editing to talent management and on-ground coordination, the workforce supports the daily functioning of the reality show across its different editions. With Bigg Boss 20 continuing its multilingual run, the scale of the franchise now extends across languages, hosts, sets and hundreds of professionals working away from the camera to bring each edition to audiences.

Six-time World Amateur Boxing Champion Mary Kom recently opened up about her journey and addressed people who, according to her, try to take credit for her success. The boxer spoke about the struggles behind her achievements during a conversation on Bigg Boss 20, making it clear that her accomplishments have been built through years of hard work, discipline and sacrifice. Mary pointed out that several people claim they were responsible for making her successful, despite not having experienced the challenges she faced as an athlete. She highlighted the physical and mental demands of boxing, including injuries and rigorous training, while questioning the claims of those who were not part of those struggles. A lot of people feel they made Mary, but they were never the ones who entered the ring, took the injuries, or went through the training. To claim credit for someone elses struggle is shameless. The boxing champion further credited her achievements to her own efforts and the sacrifices she made throughout her career. Whatever I have achieved has come from my hard work, dedication and the sacrifices I have made along the way, she added. During the conversation, Rohed also spoke about how silence is often misunderstood in todays world. He pointed out that people can mistake someones decision to remain quiet for weakness or assume that they have control over them. However, silence can also come from patience and inner strength. Mary Kom, popularly known as Magnificent Mary, is among the most accomplished names in amateur boxing. She is the only woman to have won the World Amateur Boxing Championship six times. She is also the only female boxer to have won a medal in each of the first seven World Championships and the only boxer, male or female, to win eight World Championship medals. Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 20 premiered on September 6 on Colors TV and JioHotstar. The latest season features 16 celebrity contestants, including MC Mary Kom, Kanika Mann, Mahhi Vij, Kushal Tanwar, Aman Gandhi, Isha Rikhi, Arishfa Khan, Qazi Touqeer, Asif Khan, Aamrapali Dubey, Rhiti Tiwari, Uditi Singh, Tanmay Singh aka ScoutOP, Rohed Khan, Yung DSA and Love Gill. Based on the Dutch reality format Big Brother, Bigg Boss continues to bring together contestants from different backgrounds under one roof, with their interactions and conversations forming the core of the show.

Barkha Singh recalls getting threats over her Diwali wish: People made that a communal issue
Barkha Singh has spoken about the darker side of being a public figure, recalling an incident when she faced threats on social media after a Diwali message was allegedly misunderstood. The actress, who has established herself across OTT projects and Bollywood, opened up about online trolling, criticism and the pressure celebrities face while expressing their views publicly. Speaking about the backlash surrounding Kriti Sanons Raksha Bandhan advertisement and the way celebrity statements can be interpreted on social media, Barkha told Mid-Day that even a seemingly simple comment can sometimes lead to controversy. She shared an incident involving her own Diwali greeting, which she said was turned into a communal issue despite her intention being related to animal welfare. She recalled, I really love animals, and I am very vocal about animal welfare, animal protection, and raising funds for some NGOs. So once, I remember during Diwali, I was wishing everyone online, and I just said, 'Avoid bursting crackers near animals.' I have gotten threats for that because people made that a communal issue. According to Barkha, some users questioned why she was asking people not to burst crackers. She recalls people questioning her, Why are you only stopping people from bursting crackers? She explained that the focus of her message was on protecting animals during the festival. She added, The words 'near animals' got ignored completely. There are so many dogs who get harmed during Diwali because of crackers, so don't burst crackers near them. That was my point. Barkha admitted that the experience made her more cautious about what she says publicly, although she believes trolling has become difficult to avoid for anyone in the public eye. So something as simple as that, you get trolled. Hence, I am very careful about what I say, but then beyond the point, it's normally not a good thing. You can get trolled for anything, Barkha added. She also acknowledged that criticism is part of being a public figure. And the day you decide that you want to be a public figure and you decide to put yourself out there, this is one part of the process that you should also include yourself in. This comes with the job. Meanwhile, Barkha has recently explored a different side of entertainment with We Got You, Girl, where she makes her hosting and reality show debut. However, despite being approached several times for reality shows, she does not see herself participating in formats centred on conflict. I don't think it's my cup of tea. I really enjoy acting. And I'm sure I've been blessed with some great opportunities, she said. She added, Unless it's a feel-good reality show like this (We Got You, Girl) and if it's a fit, yeah. But if it's just for entertainment and fights, maybe not. I'll do that as an actor. Asked if she has received offers, Barkha said, Yeah, obviously, A bunch of times. Almost every year, every cycle. But it's always a very, very polite decline that it's not my cup of tea. Also Read : Polka Dots are officially back!

Psychology says your gut feeling isnt always random: Heres why some people trust it more than logic
Psychology does not suggest that every gut feeling should automatically be trusted. People can sometimes mistake intuition for anxiety, prejudice, wishful thinking or emotional conditioning shaped by past experiences. The risk of misinterpreting these feelings may be greater in unfamiliar or emotionally charged situations, particularly when a person has limited knowledge or expertise in the area.

Russian Strikes On Ukrainian Capital Kill 2 People, Ending Pause In Attacks

The drama inside the Bigg Boss 20 house appears to be picking up pace, with rapper Yung DSA and fellow contestant Qazi getting into a heated exchange. The confrontation reportedly began after Qazi mimicked Yung DSA, leading to a reaction from the rapper and eventually requiring other housemates to intervene. During the tense interaction, Qazi was seen imitating Yung DSA, something that did not sit well with the rapper. Reacting to the mimicry, Yung DSA hit back at Qazi and said, Meri acting karne ka try bhi mat kar, nahi ho rahi tere se telkat muh ke. The exchange soon became more intense as both contestants appeared visibly agitated. As the argument escalated, the other housemates stepped in to prevent the situation from going further. They attempted to separate Yung DSA and Qazi and bring the confrontation under control. Yung DSA also spoke about the advice he had received from his parents, making it clear that he did not want to engage further with people he felt were provoking him. The rapper said, my mother and father said not to entertain such people in life. The incident comes at an early stage of Bigg Boss 20, where contestants are still getting accustomed to living together and negotiating different personalities under constant cameras and observation. With disagreements already beginning to emerge, confrontations such as this could become a recurring part of the dynamics inside the house as the season progresses. Yung DSA is a Pune-based rapper known for his song Yeda Yung. His entry into the Bigg Boss 20 house has brought a music-industry personality into the mix, alongside contestants from different backgrounds and fields. As the season continues, it remains to be seen whether the disagreement between Yung DSA and Qazi settles down or develops into a larger conflict inside the house. For now, the confrontation has added another layer to the early tensions of Bigg Boss 20, with the housemates already having to step in when differences between contestants turned heated.

Tamil Nadu government announces multi-pronged mission to reduce salt intake among people
The WHO recommends that a person should consume less than five grams of salt a day. However, scientific studies indicate that the people of Tamil Nadu consume an average of 7 to 8 grams of salt per day, says Health Minister
The word need carries a more specific meaning in psychology than it does in everyday conversation. People often say, I need a vacation, I need a new car or I need this jacket, but Self-Determination Theory, developed by psychologists Richard Ryan and Edward Deci, uses the concept in a much narrower and more specific way.
Recent studies by psychologists reveal that assigning names to inanimate objects can heighten our perception of them as embodying human-like qualities. This phenomenon, termed anthropomorphism, enhances both the emotional and practical significance of these items. Consequently, what may once have been merely functional transforms into treasured possessions that resonate deeply within our personal narratives.

Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia wound 73 people, officials say
Cairo, Sep 08: More than 70 people were wounded in a wave of Houthi attacks Tuesday on Saudi Arabia, authorities said, a major escalation in the renewed conflict between an important US ally and the Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen. The attacks come after weeks of escalating clashes between the Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces in Yemen, which shattered a four-year truce in the country's civil war. Fighting has raged on fronts including Yemen's west coast, with government forces saying they have made territorial gains in the provinces of Hodeida, Taiz and Baydah. The Houthi have also launched attacks on Saudi oil facilities and tankers in the Red Sea. The attacks early Tuesday hit civilian and economic facilities in the Saudi cities of Abha's Jazan, Najran and Khamis Mushait said Maj Gen. Turki al-Malki, a spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, said in a statement. Al-Malki said the attacks wounded 73 people, including women and children. He didn't provide a breakdown or further details. He called the attacks a serious escalation and a flagrant violation of the kingdom's sovereignty, and a direct threat to the security and safety of its citizens and residents. Al-Malki vowed retaliation, saying that the Saudi-led coalition will take all necessary operational measures to deter the terrorist Houthi militia with utmost resolve. The Houthis did not comment on the attacks, but said a statement about a large-scale military operation deep inside Saudi Arabia would be released. Nasruddin Amer, deputy head of the Houthi media office overseeing the Saba news agency run by the rebels, took to social media to laud the attacks. The Saudi enemy has to understand that the time for committing crimes and massacres against the Yemeni people without response, deterrence, or paying a price has ended, he said. The attacks came hours after the rebels blamed Saudi Arabia for an airstrike that hit a prison in Yemen's northern province of Jawf. At least seven people, including a child, were killed and seven others were wounded in the strike in the city of Hazem, the Houthis said Yemen's civil war began in 2014 when the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, and much of northern Yemen and forced the government into exile. A Saudi-led coalition, including the United Arab Emirates, intervened the following year to try to restore the government to power. Tensions rose earlier this year between US allies Saudi Arabia and the UAE as their partnership in the war in Yemen broke down, leading to the UAE pulling out of Yemen. The civil war in Yemen has killed at least 150,000 people, according to UN estimates, and at times pushed the country to the brink of famine.

Because individuals often view personal information as something they own and control, they may choose to regulate who can access it depending on the situation.

Mumbai, September 7 (IANS) Actress Shriya Pilgaonkar has opened up about her father, veteran actor-filmmaker Sachin Pilgaonkar, being at the receiving end of social media. The actress said that the negativity on the internet does not reflect the love they experience in real life. In an exclusive conversation with IANS, Shriya said people often fail to understand the depth of experience Sachin brings with more than six decades in the film industry. He has more than 60 years of experience in the film industry and people are just not aware of the range and scale of experiences he has, Shriya said. She added that when someone with such vast experience is invited to share his perspective, speaking about his journey and experiences is only natural, highlighting his conversations about his life in various of his interviews. In a setup where somebody is asked, of course you are going to share your experiences. I feel like the love is so much that there is no space for negativity, she said. Shriya also pointed out the contradictory nature of showbiz, where the same people who troll celebrities online can often be seen approaching them for photographs in person. This is the nature of our showbiz that people who sometimes troll, are the same people come and click photos, she said. The actress said that fortunately, she and her family remain positive and are able to see the difference between online chatter and their actual experiences with people. I feel like luckily all of us are really positive people. And when we are out there in real life, we only experience love. So all of this virtual or internet chatter is something that doesn't feel real. Because when you are out there, you only get love, Shriya said. When people say negative things, it's more a reflection on them. And it is that attention-seeking behaviour, because you cannot question someone's truth because you have not lived that life, she said. Shriya further observed that people can sometimes struggle to see others succeed or find happiness. I also feel one more thing that people are uncomfortable seeing others' success and happiness. They get so upset with their life that they don't see the happiness or personality of others, she said. So then you just wish them well and experience the love that is much more than the negativity, she concluded. Shriya's comments come amidst the constant trolling her father and Marathi superstar Sachin Pilgaonkar has been receiving post many of his interviews where he is seen sharing his life experiences. Talking about Shriya, the actress is all set for her upcoming movie, Haiwaan, directed by Priyadarshan. The film stars Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, with Akshay set to be seen in a never-seen-before psychotic antagonist. The movie also stars Boman Irani and Saiyami Kher in important roles.

Bigg Boss 20: Aamrapali Dubey says she doesnt care about people bringing up her controversy
Mumbai, Sep 7 (IANS) Aamrapali Dubey, who has entered the 'Bigg Boss 20' house, says the reality show is less about expanding her stardom and more about allowing people to see the person behind the characters. The Bhojpuri star went on to say that she has faced only one controversy in her life and added that she does not care if fellow contestants bring it up inside the show. Asked what Bigg Boss 20 gives her that her established career in Bhojpuri cinema couldnt, Aamrapali told IANS: I think Bigg Boss will give me a chance to show my real side to my audience, which they've never witnessed. I've always played certain roles and characters that were scripted. This time, it will be all real, and that's why Bigg Boss. She also spoke about showing her unfiltered side on the show, dealing with emotional vulnerability and the one controversy she says no longer bothers her. Talking about entering Bigg Boss means admitting that Bhojpuri stardom alone isn't enough for the kind of national visibility one wants, she said: When you are a Bhojpuri actor, trust me, I'm saying this from my first-hand experience, you're not just someone who's nationally known but globally known I'm very blessed that Bhojpuri is a language which is spoken in many parts of the world, maybe Fiji, Mauritius and so forth. There are Bhojpuri-speaking and understanding people living in the United States of America, the United Kingdom, almost every part that I know of, added the actress, who has given out successful films in collaboration with star Nirahua. The actress, who is known for her vibrant dance performances, added: Luckily for our industry, the films that we make and the music videos that are made here very regularly are watched and heard everywhere. So it's not about the fan base in particular, but yes, to the existing fans, I would really like to show another side of me, which is the real side. So, what scares her more inside the house controversy, losing emotional control, or discovering that your popularity outside doesn't translate into votes? The actress said: I think votes and everything are something that is based on others. It is not something that I can control. Being emotionally stable is something that is in my hands to control, and if I'm not able to do that, and if I end up being in a vulnerable position, that is more discomforting for me, concluded the actress. Talking about controversies, is she worried her fellow contestants might bring up inside the house, the actress said: There's just one controversy that I've ever had in my whole life, and now I'm so used to it that I don't care about people bringing that up.

Anne Hathaway's wisdom underscores the importance of self-love in curbing the urge to please others. Continuously chasing approval from external sources can diminish one's happiness and sense of well-being. Cultivating genuine self-respect empowers individuals to establish healthy boundaries and make decisions that resonate with their true selves. Neglecting personal needs for the approval of others can spiral into feelings of resentment and burnout.
Opposition wants power, not people's welfare; PM Modi thinks only about development: Tripura CM
Agartala, Sep 6 (IANS) Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Sunday accused the opposition parties of having no basic understanding of politics and alleged that they were engaged in politics only to confuse the people. Addressing a large public meeting organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at Barjala, on the outskirts of Agartala, CM Saha said that the people of the state had witnessed a very difficult and dangerous situation during the CPI-M's long tenure in power in the state. We have so many elections coming up. Village Committee elections are coming, and we will contest them with the NDA alliance. But for some time, attempts have been made to create a situation of divide and rule. In 1978, people will remember how the CPI-M formed the government. They ruled the state for 35 years. Everywhere there were red flags and red signals, in West Bengal and Tripura too, he added. People will never accept them (CPI-M). They are still carrying the thinking of 1978, about how they can come to power and form the government, and attempts are being made in various ways, he said. The Chief Minister added that the Congress has now entered into an alliance with the CPI-M, alleging that the opposition parties were interested only in power. This Congress has now come into an alliance with the CPI-M. They just want the chair or power and are hatching conspiracies. In the last Assembly election, we saw CPI-M flags being carried out from Congress party offices and vice versa, he said. Chief Minister Saha said that the BJP is the largest political party in the country and has a growing presence across the world. The graph of the BJP is increasing. After the Village Committee elections, local body elections, including those to the Agartala Municipal Corporation and Nagar Panchayats, will be held. We won all 20 out of 20 seats last time. This time also, the same is going to happen, he added. Chief Minister Saha said that people in a democracy want leaders and political parties whom they can believe and trust. In politics, people want someone whom they can believe and trust. You cannot do politics with muscle power. We have to work for the people. We are providing water to all, houses, free food and gas connections. Why bring politics into such things? he asked. The Chief Minister said that the welfare and development initiatives undertaken by the state government were aimed at improving the lives of ordinary people. That is why people are blessing Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We have a guardian like PM Modi who only thinks about the people and how to work for development, he added. Manik Saha also highlighted India's economic growth and said that the state government has been working for the welfare of the common people. Our GDP has increased, and now India is the fourth-largest economy in the world. Our state government has been working for the common people, he added.

Nepal floods: Two people including foreign national rescued alive
Kathmandu, September 5 : Ten days after the Bhotekoshi flash floods wreaked havoc in Nepal, one foreign national has been rescued alive from the tunnel of Apar Trishuli 1. Separately, one woman was rescued from Nuwakot. The details were shared by the Nepalese Army and the Police on X. In the video clip by the Army, it was seen that a man was being brought out of a tunnel and taken to a helicopter, where medics started measuring his vitals. Meanwhile, the Nepal Police said that a joint team of Nepal Police and Armed Police Force Nepal successfully rescued one woman from Betrawati 10, Vidur, Nuwakot District. As rescue operations continue in full swing, the Nepalese police shared visuals from a temporary field hospital in Nuwakot as it is operating a Sample Collection Centre for DNA Testing. The rescue of the two individuals on Saturday comes after two people were rescued alive from a tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydropower project on Friday. Citing Shri Ram Neupane, a lawmaker from the Rastriya Swatantra Party, the Kathmandu Post reported that the two men have been identified as Sanjay Sah, a mechanical foreman, and Kabir Maharjan, a mechanical supervisor. Amid catastrophic flash floods that have claimed at least 1,344 lives, the Nepalese Army and international teams are mounting massive Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations to reach isolated communities in the Himalayan nation. In Nuwakot district, military engineering units are constructing a rope bridge over the swollen Tadi River to restore ground connectivity to areas cut off from the national road network. Concurrently, air operations are working around the clock under hazardous conditions to deliver aid and rescue stranded residents. In another post on X, the Nepalese Army, operating alongside other agencies, informed that it has deployed approximately 20 helicopters to lead search, rescue, and relief distribution efforts across the severely impacted Nuwakot and Rasuwa districts. Despite adverse weather, mountain terrain, and a scarcity of usable helipads due to flood damage, aircrews are continuously executing drops and evacuations. Visuals released by military officials highlight the high-stakes airborne missions navigating tight valleys to reach displaced families. India continues to assist Nepal in the HADR operations in the country. In a major push to advance operations at Nepal's Chilime tunnel, the Indian tunnel rescue team worked in close coordination with the Nepal Army to drain accumulated water and dig deeper into the shaft, following severe flooding and landslides that swept through Rasuwa district in Nepal. The joint effort underscored active cross-border disaster response and technical collaboration between Indian specialists and Nepalese defence forces. Sharing the details in a post on X, the Indian Ambassador to Nepal, Naveen Srivastava, highlighted India's commitment to supporting Nepal through both technical expertise on-site and humanitarian aid for surrounding communities.
