The box office journey of ORomeo continues to remain steady as the crime drama heads towards the close of its opening weekend. Starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri in the lead roles, the film had a decent start in its first two days, collecting an estimated Rs 21.15 crore in India. On Day 3 (Sunday, February 15), early estimates suggest that ORomeo has earned around Rs6.61 crore so far, as per Sacnilk. Trade expectations indicate that the film could close its third day at approximately Rs 8 crore. If evening and night shows witness stronger footfalls, the number may even touch the Rs 10 crore mark. For now, the film is expected to wrap up its first weekend at around Rs 30 crore. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Free Press Journal (@freepressjournal) Mounted on a reported budget of Rs 7580 crore, ORomeo will need to cross the Rs 100 crore mark domestically to be declared a hit. A solid weekend total is therefore crucial, but more importantly, the film will need to maintain momentum through the weekdays. The good news for the makers is that the film has a relatively open run at the box office. Apart from a few small and mid-budget releases, there are no major big-ticket films arriving in theatres until Dhurandhar 2 hits screens, giving ORomeo breathing space to grow. Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the film marks his fourth collaboration with Shahid. Set in the gritty underbelly of Mumbai and inspired by Hussain Zaidis book Mafia Queens of Mumbai, the film blends crime, drama and romance. The ensemble cast also includes Avinash Tiwary, Farida Jalal, Hussain Dalal and Disha Patani, with special appearances by Tamannaah Bhatia and Vikrant Massey. The film has received mixed responses from critics and audiences. The Free Press Journal rated it 3.5 stars, noting, While the first half is gripping and engaging, the second half turns slightly predictable and feels stretched, especially towards the climax. The runtime could have been shorter. Some scenes are quite gory, with visible bloodshed, which may not appeal to everyone. Overall, ORomeo is a well-crafted crime drama with strong performances, memorable music, and solid action. It may not be extraordinary, but it certainly isnt disappointing either. With digital and satellite rights already sold, a portion of the films investment has reportedly been recovered. The coming weekdays will now determine whether ORomeo can convert its steady start into a successful box office run.

A rare and dramatic wildlife moment from Gir National Park has taken social media by storm, capturing an intense face-off between a lioness and a male lion in the wild. In a now-viral video circulating online, a lioness is seen boldly confronting a dominant male lion during a tense encounter. The male initially asserts control with thunderous roars and commanding body language. However, the lioness refuses to back down, matching his aggression with equal intensity. At one striking moment, the male lion suddenly pauses after the lioness unleashes a sharp roar of her own. The atmosphere shifts instantly, with the male appearing to calm down, showcasing the complex power dynamics within lion prides. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gujarat Tourism (@gujarattourism) Viral video amazes wildlife enthusiasts The clip, widely shared on Instagram, was first captured by wildlife photographer Urmil Jhaveri. It was later reposted by Gujarat Tourism with a witty caption suggesting that even the king knows when to step back. Tourists on safari can be spotted in the background, eagerly filming and photographing the rare interaction. The dramatic exchange left viewers stunned, with many calling it a breathtaking glimpse into raw jungle behavior. Even the king knows that silence is the smartest move when the queen is angry. Gir National Park @urmiljhaveri #GirNationalPark #AsiaticLion #LionKing #ExploreGujarat #GujaratTourism pic.twitter.com/WsJD1tAzJd Gujarat Tourism (@GujaratTourism) February 11, 2026 Social media users flooded the comments section with admiration. Some described it as an unforgettable wildlife moment, while others praised the photographer for perfectly capturing the intensity of the scene. Understanding lion behaviour in the wild Wildlife experts note that such confrontations are not uncommon in lion society. Before mating, lionesses may test a males strength and dominance to ensure he is capable of protecting the pride and future cubs. These displays of aggression often appear fierce but are part of natural bonding and hierarchy establishment. Lions are highly social big cats, living in structured prides where both males and females play crucial roles. While males are known for defending territory, lionesses are skilled hunters and equally formidable when challenged.

Actress-model Priya Bakshi shared a disturbing experience on her social media handle about an incident with an auto driver in Mumbai's Bandra at night, stating that while she was heading home from Bandra, the driver allegedly took an unfamiliar route and ignored her repeated requests to stop the auto, despite her telling him she did not want to go that way. Priya Bakshi Recounts Horror Auto Ride In Bandra On Saturday, February 14, Priya took to her Instagram handle and shared a video in which she appeared visibly scared, repeatedly asking the auto driver to stop; however, he allegedly insisted that it was the correct route, while she maintained that she was unfamiliar with the road he was taking and claimed that even Google Maps did not show that route. The auto driver further said, Map mein route nahi bata raha hai, yehi sahi raasta hai.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by PRIYA BAKSHI (@priyabakshi_19) In the caption, Priya wrote that sometimes the route is not the problem but the reaction is, Being unfamiliar with a city doesnt make someone inferior. Asking a question doesnt make someone disrespectful. And belonging to a different region doesnt make someone a strange entity. She urged people to stand for inclusivity beyond regions and stereotypes, and also mentioned that the video was part of a paid collaboration, indicating it was associated with a brand.

Food review: OJU Brings Moon-Lit Japanese Elegance To Mumbai At Neuma, Colaba
After conquering Delhi, the Japanese fine dining place, OJU, comes to Mumbai in the house of Neuma at Colaba, Mumbai. Its not just food by corporate chef Nikhil Bharadwaj, consultant chef Moh and their able aide chef Vinam, but even the cocktails created by Vijendra that bring a freshness to the crowded Japanese food scene in Mumbai. The cocktail menu is as elaborate as the food menu and as intentional. They have tried to balance the drinks while using elements from the kitchen and created beverages that complement the food. The moon is their muse, and its movements are their guiding force. Miso Mushroom Soup I start with Saketini. Gari-infused vodka, sake, rice water, dry vermouth, and a dash of Aperol. Starts sweet on the palate and ends with Aperol. Team it with Spinach with Gomadare sauce, the spinach salad thats a medley of textures. Sesame seeds are the umami. Vegetarians should also try the Charred Beans French beans tossed in onion wafu sauce. Caramelised onions enhance the wafu flavours. Try the Seaweed Salad if you are in an adventurous mood. Five types of seaweeds tossed in homemade goma sauce, garnished with pickled pears, which are the USPof the dish. Crisp and slightly nutty. Tofu Avocado Tempura OJU has a good choice for vegetarians; be it tataki, carpaccio, tempura, maki or grills. Tofu carpaccio - thin slices of tofu in yuzu kosho vinaigrette, garnished with pickled red peppers, shio kombu and crispy bok choy is an ideal example of creativity keeping in mind the veg clientele. Yuzu & Koshu, the grape-infused pisco with yuzu cordial, olive brine, and jasmine-infused Lillet blanc, begins with a jasmine fragrance and finishes a little tart thanks to the brine. Goes well with all salads. Otora, the fatty tuna, is so delicious that you don't even need condiments to enjoy it.Obori is an experience. Fatty salmon with a drizzle of truffle oil, some pistachios, and a pinch of sea salt. This is torch-flamed on the table. Nearly melt-in-the-mouth delicacy. Try Lima with the nigiris or tatakis. This lychee-infused gin with yuzu, palo santo cordial, and clarified green apple juice is fresh on the palate. Black Miso Cod Sushi chef Tekhraj has more than two decades of experience and that reflects in the makis.Seafood lovers should go for Unagi. They get unagi (eel) from Japan. The crunch of the cucumber gives it a nice texture. Prawn Tempura Maki is also recommended. Veg guys, you have to try Oshisushi. Pickled shitake mushrooms with kimchi and cream cheese. Pickled Tomato Sushi I prefer the Veg Mantao. It is served with lemon mayo, pickled radish in beetroot juice, and a slice of lime. Smoky eggplant and corn tossed in barbecue sauce. Juicy, finger-licking if you like eggplant. Nuts about you And I move on to my next cocktail while I wait for the next dish. Ume Sour Fruity, sweet start, which is tempered by the vegan foam. This plum-infused-gin-based cocktail is gins answer to the whisky sour. Finishes sour thanks to the lemon, umeshu, and umeboshi. If they use a little less amaro and lime, the flavours of the Japanese elements will come across better. Tiger Prawn Tempura Yuzu & Koshu The Chicken Thigh Teriyaki comes on skewers glazed with yakitori sauce and dusted liberally with togarashi. I wait for the Miso Cod. The miso itself is cooked for four hours. The cod is later marinated in it for three days. It is served with a sauce that has yuzu and mirin.It is one of the best miso cods I have tasted in a very long time. The three-day marination ensures that the fish is well-cured before grilling. Mirin gives it a welcome sweetness to the sauce. Tuna Tataki Mushroom Donabe Next drink is Ponzu, and the dish is the Grilled Baby Chicken. Ponzu isvodka infused with traditional ponzu, finished with chilli oil. Nutty start, sour finish with slight chilli. Ponzu sauce and chilli oil give the nuttiness, informs Vijendra. Grilled Salmon The Robata Grilled Baby Chicken is served on the grill. With-skin grilled chicken is juicy inside and slightly crispy outside. The ume-gochujang butter glaze lends a subtle flavour. Kimchi Kare Rice I choose Vegetable and Kimchi Kare Rice over noodles. A pot comes to the table with rice topped with veg curry and garnished with crisps. Delectable, flavourful, and a meal in itself. Spicy Calamari The dessert choice is quite good, and I decide to be adventurous. Seasonal Fruit Tokoroten it is! A huge tray comes with a dish with fruits, nuts, and mango ice cream, a bowl with coconut mochi, and a small bowl with mitarashi syrup. Its big enough for two. Those less adventurous can try Matcha Tiramisu or Strawberry Granita. Rs. 6000/- with alcohol
Why do I invoke Adiyogi, the Shiva so recurrently? It is a question I am often asked. The answer to that is simple. It is not because I want to anthropomorphize the divine. It is not because I want to introduce some devious mode of pagan worship. It is not because I want to usher in some Eastern cult. I invoke him simply because he is vital for our times. And he is vital because there is nothing more important right now than raising human consciousness. We have the tools and technologies in our hands with which we can make this world a paradise, or turn it into a living hell, or obliterate it altogether because of our own capabilities. In other words, we have reached a point where if we do not raise human consciousness, our intelligence and capability is going to work against us. We are racing rapidly towards self-sabotage. How did we get ourselves into this mess? We got here because we developed our intellect at the expense of our interiority. Stitching with a Knife Right now, we use the single faculty of the intellect and mistake it for everything, forgetting that the mind is much more than that. The intellect is a tremendous resource. However, in isolation, it is a disaster because while the other dimensions of the mind enhance, the intellect can only divide. It does not allow you to simply be with anything completely. The nature of consciousness is inclusion. Consciousness is one big embrace of the universe. If that experience does not happen to an empowered intellect, that intellect is going to destroy the world. In the East, there are several proverbs that say that when people show symptoms of an overactive intellect, they are heading towards total destruction. In isolation, the intellect is divisive: it is capable of dividing even the self into different parts! In todays world, there is much effort towards unity. But we are trying to put everything together with the intellect. It is like you try to stitch the world together with a knife it will only leave everything in tatters. The Missing Ingredient The crucial ingredient missing in the world today is what yoga calls chitta the deepest dimension of the mind. This is intelligence unsullied by memory, which connects you to the very basis of creation. Chitta is awareness, the intelligence of existence itself, the very cosmos in the living mind. In the yogic tradition, it is said that once you distance yourself from the compulsions of your genetic and karmic software, as well as the vested interests and identifications of your intellect, you are in touch with chitta, an unclouded consciousness. Now, your life returns to the way it was always intended to be radiantly alive, fresh, immaculate. Even the divine has no choice but to serve you. Adiyogi, the first yogi, becomes hugely significant in such a context because there is no one on this planet who has explored and revealed as much as he has. In terms of creating the most extensive and sophisticated system of human self-understanding 112 methods by which human beings can explore and reach their fullest potential there is no one whose contribution exceeds his. The Geometry Of Energy Knowing, not Knowledge Adiyogi knew life by becoming one with it not cerebrally, but experientially. A yogi is one who has experienced union with the whole of existence. What Adiyogi represents is knowing, not knowledge. Knowledge is intellectual accumulation. Knowing, on the other hand, is neither intellectual nor accumulative. If you pass a flowering plant and you know the chemistry of its fragrance, that is one dimension of knowledge. If you know the experience and ecstasy of that fragrance, that is another dimension of knowledge. But if you become the fragrance, that is knowing. A knowing that is 100 percent experiential, 100 percent alive, here and now. This is what Adiyogi represents. That is why despite attempts to appropriate him, he cannot be domesticated by any scripture, dogma or doctrine. Nature has set some laws for human beings. Breaking through the cyclical laws of physical nature is the basis of the spiritual process that Adiyogi explored. In that sense, yoga is a science for those who seek to be outlaws. And that is what Adiyogi represents: the ultimate outlaw.
Is Gen Z Over-Relying On AI And Influencers For Skincare?
Over the past two years, India has witnessed the rise of a new kind of skincare authority, one that doesnt sit in clinics, doesnt examine skin under proper lighting, and doesnt ask about your hormonal cycle, allergies, or medical history. Instead, it lives on screens. AI-driven skincare apps and influencer-led routines are now being trusted as much as, and sometimes more than, trained dermatologists. But beneath the glossy claims of instant skin analysis and dermat-approved routines, dermatology clinics across urban India are reporting a quiet epidemic: damaged skin barriers, flare-ups worsened by misdiagnosis, aggressive layering of actives, and young adults who no longer know what their real skin type is. A 2024 Kantar Beauty Study found that 71% of Indian Gen Z consumers try skincare products recommended by influencers, while 58% have used AI tools for routine suggestions, a sharp jump from just 22% in 2022. Yet, the same report notes that over 52% of these users experienced new or worsened skin problems soon after following these routines. AI can scan a face, but cannot read skin AI-powered apps promise quick answers: upload a selfie, get a diagnosis. Except what they provide is not a diagnosis at all its an algorithmic assumption. Dr. Aparajita Lamba, dermatologist and aesthetic medicine specialist at Iksana Wellness, sees the consequences daily. Social media and AI have made skincare advice more accessible than ever, but also more generalised. In my practice, Ive seen that most people who come to me dont actually know their true skin type Someone who believes they have oily skin might follow a dry-combination skin routine they saw online or try an AI-generated regimen that doesnt suit them. This mismatch often leads to breakouts, irritation, or even long-term barrier damage. Her concern goes deeper. AI can read the image, but it cant read the skin. It cant assess deeper concerns like hormonal imbalance, PCOD, or lifestyle triggers Even small factors like lighting, filters, or camera quality can completely distort what the algorithm sees. A 2025 Stanford dermatology audit supports her point AI skin-analysis tools showed up to 34% error rates for Indian and deeper skin tones, primarily because datasets remain Western-skewed. In other words, AI may see your skin. But it doesnt understand it. Influencers become skin experts Parallel to AIs rise is the booming influencer skincare economy. Indias creator industry is projected to reach 3,500 crore by 2025, with beauty creators forming one of its largest verticals. But visibility is often mistaken for credibility. Dr. Shifa Yadav, ConsultantDermatology, Artemis Hospitals, explains: There is a lot of skincare advice out there these days from AI-powered apps to Instagram influencers This trend has made skincare easier to get but it has also made it harder to tell the difference between professional advice and general advice. She stresses that the problem often starts with misidentification. Different people's skin is different, so what works for one person might not work for another and might even cause breakouts, irritation and allergies. Her biggest worry is the reckless use of actives. Putting too many active ingredients on your skin at once like retinol, vitamin C and exfoliating acids without the right advice can hurt your skin over time Dangerous DIY hacks, including home remedies using lemon juice, baking soda or toothpaste, can cause chemical burns, permanent pigmentation issues and severe irritation. According to a 2024 Aesthetic Medicine India survey, 42% of dermatologists reported an increase in chemical burns caused by at-home viral skincare hacks. Young users pay the price For many young Indians entering adulthood, skincare didnt begin in a clinic it began on Instagram and AI apps. Their experiences mirror a generation trying to self-diagnose in an era of instant advice. Kajol Awon, 26, Public Relations Consultant, recalls how she got pulled into the culture of influencer-led routines during the pandemic: While many creators were genuinely mindful about what they endorsed, we forget that skincare is personal A simple routine, supported by good sleep, nutrition, and hydration, can do more than ten products ever could. She adds, In reality, good skin comes down to basics Maybe a serum here and there for specific concerns, but not every product on the shelf needs to be part of your routine. Her turning point came after a reaction: I remember using a serum by a known brand which was new, i didn't learn much about the concentration, and that caused breakout Personally, Ive come to rely on dermatologists more than influencers. Urvashi Rathore, 24, a social media executive, echoes the sentiment, but her reliance was on AI. I used AI apps because they felt quick and smart But following those regimens without knowing my skin type ruined my barrier I had inflammation for weeks. She adds, When I finally visited a real dermatologist, she explained things I never even thought about AI can guide you, but it cannot diagnose you. Together, their experiences reflect what a 2025 NCBI review highlighted: self-guided skincare increases the risk of prolonged inflammatory issues and delayed clinical intervention. AI leaders warn against over-reliance Even technologists acknowledge that AI should complement, not replace humans. Ankush Sabharwal, Founder & CEO, CoRover.ai, warns: Lately, we see AI and influencer-driven skincare regimens all over social media The Result? Most users end-up breakouts, get a rash, or even get their condition exacerbated. He adds, AI's no magic bullet, only a very capable assistant Let's use AI with a definite purpose, due diligence, and human oversight to deliver real leverage and avoid costly failures. His perspective reflects a growing global consensus: AIs role should be informational, not diagnostic. Real fix is consultation, not automation Dr Aarzoo Pahwa, Consultant Dermatology, Kailash Deepak Hospital, emphasises simple caution: It is advised that people should consult a dermatologist before experimenting with products or routines seen online Professional consultation ensures that skincare advice is personalized to ones skin condition, keeping treatments safe and effective. Feeling Overwhelmed By Screens And AI? Heres How Art & Culture Are Offering A Mental Break With dermatology OPDs reporting a 3038% rise in barrier-damage cases among Indians aged 1830 (AIIMS Dermatology, 2025), the message is clear: prevention begins with guidance, not guesswork. The rise of AI and influencers has democratized skincare, making conversations about skin health more accessible. But accessibility without accuracy creates confusion and chaos. Skincare was never meant to be trend-based. It was meant to be tailored. Perhaps the real skincare revolution young India needs today is not another serum, scanner, or trend. Its a return to basics: listen to your skin, understand your type, dont self-diagnose, and when in doubt, consult a professional. Because AI can give you possibilities. Influencers can inspire you. But only a dermatologist can give you the truth.
Lucknow, February 14: Over the past nine years, the government led by Yogi Adityanath has established a new work culture of development, where the central focus is not only on building physical infrastructure but also on strengthening human capital. Taking this vision forward, the state government has launched the 'Tech Yuva-Samarth Yuva' scheme. Under this initiative, 2.5 million young people across the state will be trained in modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Extended Reality, as part of a comprehensive drive to prepare Uttar Pradesh for the future economy. The Yogi government clearly believes that competition in the 21st century is not merely about resources, but about skills. In the first phase, digital infrastructure in the state was strengthened. A large number of young people were provided with tablets to ensure digital access. Now, building on this foundation, the government is transforming these devices into effective tools for skill development. Through application-based training modules, youth will receive practical and industry-oriented education, enabling them to directly connect with employment or business opportunities. For the financial year 2026-27, a provision of 100 crore has been earmarked for this scheme. This allocation is not just a budgetary figure, but a clear indication of the governments priorities. The Yogi government aims to make young people not just degree holders, but skilled and self-reliant. As demand for AI and advanced technologies continues to rise in the rapidly changing global economy, Uttar Pradesh is preparing its youth in line with future requirements, thereby creating a favourable environment for national and international investment. This initiative is closely linked to the states broader economic strategy. Industrial investment in Uttar Pradesh is increasing rapidly. Along with the Defence Corridor, data centre parks and various industrial projects, the pressing need now is for skilled human resources. The 'Tech Yuva-Samarth Yuva' scheme will play a crucial role in meeting this requirement. When trained youth are available locally, industries will gain momentum and employment opportunities will expand. A key feature of the scheme is that its benefits will not be limited to metropolitan cities. Youth from rural and semi-urban areas will also be able to access advanced training through digital platforms. This will help reduce regional disparities and ensure equal opportunities across all parts of the state. The Yogi governments vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' is being realised through such initiatives. Experts believe that the nature of employment in the coming years will be technology-driven. In this context, large-scale skill upgradation at the state level can significantly reduce the challenge of unemployment. This step by the Yogi government will instil confidence among youth and prepare them for global competition. Future benefits Enhanced technical proficiency among youth, enabling direct employment in emerging AI-based industries Availability of locally trained human resources for companies investing in the state, accelerating industrial development Increased opportunities for self-employment and startups, as technically skilled youth move toward innovation Equal opportunities for youth in rural and semi-urban areas, helping reduce regional disparities Also Watch: Uttar Pradesh Budget 202627 Boosts Religious Tourism With Major Funding For Pilgrimage Site Development Quote Training 2.5 million young people in AI and advanced digital technologies is not merely a skill development programme, but the beginning of a structural transformation. This step by the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath government is set to redefine the states economy for the next decade. It will transform Uttar Pradeshs youth from a crowd of job seekers into a skilled workforce that attracts innovation and investment. Manindra Agrawal Director, IIT Kanpur
Lucknow, February 14: The Uttar Pradesh government has made special provisions in the Budget 2026-27 for development projects of religious tourism sites.

In a Valentines Day special interaction with Free Press, the duo took part in a fun compatibility challenge to see who knows the other better. Jiya emerged as the clear winner, answering most questions correctly and proving she knows Elvish better than he knows her. During a candid chat with Free Press Journal, Jiya revealed that her current partner is a Virgo. This made Elvish joke by saying, Kahi ye main hi to nahi.

Justifying his answer, he joked, Tum beach person ban gaye ho ab? Jab pehle hum saath the to yeh mountain mountain karti thi, implying that she used to prefer the mountains earlier.

PM Modi Attacks Congress, Showcases New Assam Development Under BJP Rule Ahead Of 2026 Polls | VIDEO
Guwahati, February 14: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the Congress while projecting what he called a transformed and confident Assam under BJP rule, addressing a massive gathering of booth-level workers and party leaders in the state. Attack on Congress and development claims Alleging that Congress had historically neglected Assam, Modi said the party supported forces that weakened national unity. Congress supports those who think ill of the nation. Those who raise slogans about separating the Northeast from India have found space in Congress politics. You must remain alert and make the people of Assam aware, he told party workers. The people of Assam have blessed the BJP-NDA and are ready to fully support it again in the upcoming polls. The excitement at todays rally in Guwahati is incredible. https://t.co/WlGZeXIoxG Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) February 14, 2026 Drawing a contrast between past and present, the Prime Minister said that from Independence until 2014, Congress governments built only three bridges over the Brahmaputra in nearly seven decades. Could rapid development have been possible in such a situation? he asked. He claimed that after 2014, with what he described as a double-engine government in Assam, five major bridges over the Brahmaputra were completed in just ten to eleven years. Congress gave Assam problems; the BJP has given Assam solutions, he said. Referring to the inauguration of a new six-lane bridge in Guwahati named after ancient Kamrup ruler Kumar Bhaskar Varman, Modi said the project symbolised both development and respect for heritage. This is the new Assam, this is the new Northeast, and this is the new India, he declared. pic.twitter.com/1SBYqkeTwe Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) February 14, 2026 Financial allocation and connectivity focus The Prime Minister said Assam was set to receive around 80,000 crore as its tax share this year, adding that the state had received over 5.5 lakh crore from the Centre in the past 11 years five times more than during Congress rule. He said the recent Union Budget placed strong emphasis on connectivity, highways, tourism and economic self-reliance in the Northeast, which he referred to as Ashta Lakshmi. He also highlighted the recent landing of an Indian Air Force aircraft on a highway in Moran, calling it a proud moment and a sign of transformation. There was a time when the Northeast was seen as a region of broken roads and uncertainty. Today, highways are being built where even aircraft can land, he said. Tributes and national security remarks Marking the anniversary of the Pulwama terror attack, Modi paid tribute to the fallen soldiers and said India had demonstrated its resolve by taking firm action against terrorists. Did Congress ever have the courage to take such decisive steps? he asked, accusing the opposition of failing to prioritise national security. In an emotional appeal to party workers, Modi credited grassroots karyakartas as the oxygen of the Bharatiya Janata Party. If I have any qualification, it is that I am a worker of the BJP, he said, bowing to what he called the strength of the organisation. He urged workers to focus on winning every booth in the 2026 Assembly elections. If you win every booth, you win the election, he said. He also offered prayers at Maa Kamakhya and paid tribute to Kavindra Purkayastha, noting that more than 300 distinguished personalities from the Northeast had received Padma awards since 2014. Chief Minister outlines future projects Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, addressing the gathering with visible emotion, said representatives from nearly 21,000 booths were present and asked each of them if they were ready to ensure victory in 2026. This time we will win by a record margin, he said. Sarma announced that the Union Cabinet had approved 18,000 crore for an underwater tunnel under the Brahmaputra between Gohpur and Numaligarh, along with an elevated corridor over Kaziranga. Earlier, when we spoke of such projects, people used to laugh. Today, these dreams are becoming reality, he said. Listing achievements, the Chief Minister said 1.5 lakh government jobs had already been provided, with a promise of 2 lakh more. He spoke about expanding educational institutions and medical colleges so that no child from Assam has to go abroad for opportunity. The meeting was attended by Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, Assam BJP president Dilip Saikia, AGP chief Atul Bora, BPF leader Hagrama Mohilary and several state ministers. Also Watch: PM Modi Likely To Be Invited To Bangladesh For Tarique Rahmans Swearing-In As Prime Minister: Report As the rally concluded, the mood among party workers was visibly energised. With development claims, financial figures and national security themes at the forefront, the BJP signalled that it has begun preparing in earnest for the 2026 Assembly elections framing the contest as a choice between what it calls the new Assam and the past it attributes to Congress rule.

Homeland Security has reportedly sent out hundreds of subpoenas to identify ICE critics online
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has reportedly been asking tech companies for information on accounts posting anti-ICE sentiments. According to The New York Times , DHS has sent hundreds of administrative subpoenas to Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta over the past few months. Homeland Security asked the companies for names, email addresses, telephone numbers and any other identifying detail for accounts that have criticized the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency or have reported the location of its agents. Google, Meta and Reddit have complied with some of the requests Administrative subpoenas are different from warrants and are issued by the DHS. The Times says they were rarely used in the past and were mostly sent to companies for the investigation of serious crimes, such as child trafficking. Apparently, though, the government has ramped up its use in the past year. Its a whole other level of frequency and lack of accountability, Steve Loney, a senior supervising attorney for ACLU, told the publication. Companies can choose whether to comply with the authorities or not, and some of them give the subject of a subpoena up to 14 days to fight it in court. Google told The Times that its review process for government requests is designed to protect user privacy while meeting [its] legal obligations and that it informs users when their accounts have been subpoenaed unless it has been legally ordered not to or in exceptional circumstances. We review every legal demand and push back against those that are overbroad, the company said. Some of the accounts that were subpoenaed belong to users posting ICE activity in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania on Facebook and Instagram in English and Spanish. The DHS asked Meta for their names and details on September 11, and the users were notified about it on October 3. They were told that if Meta didnt receive documentation that they were fighting the subpoena in court within 10 days, Meta will give Homeland Security the information it was asking for. The ACLU filed a motion for the users in court, arguing that the DHS is using administrative subpoenas as a tool to suppress speech of people it didnt agree with. In late January, Meta started blocking links to ICE List , a website that lists thousands of ICE and Border Patrol agents names. A few days ago, House Judiciary Committee member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) also asked Apple and Google to turn over all their communication with the US Department of Justice to investigate the removal of ICE-tracking apps from their respective app stores.

Assi Review: Taapsee Pannu, Kani Kusruti, Anubhav Sinha's Film Is Hard-Hitting & DISTURBING
Title: Assi Director: Anubhav Sinha Cast: Taapsee Pannu, Kani Kusruti Where to watch: In theatres near you Ratings: 3.5 stars Assi Review: After Mulk and Thappad, Anubhav Sinha and Taapsee Pannu have teamed up for the third time for the film, Assi. The trailer of the movie had grabbed everyone's attention, as the film revolves around a very relevant issue that our country is facing, 'rapes'. So, is the film worth your time and money? Read on to know about it... The film revolves around Parima (Kani Kusruti), a teacher who stays in Delhi with her husband Vinay (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) and son Dhruv (Advik Jaiswal). One night, while coming home from a party at school, five men abduct her in a car, rape her, and then throw her on the railway tracks. In the morning, a man spots her and takes her to the hospital. The rape accused are arrested, and the case goes into court. Raavi (Taapsee Pannu) is representing Parima in the court. So, will Parima get justice? View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taapsee Pannu (@taapsee) Assi is written by Anubhav Sinha and Gaurav Solanki, and Sinha has directed the movie. It is a fictional story, but it is something that we read and hear in the news, mostly every other day. Sinha has made a very realistic film. The first scene of the movie itself is so disturbing that you will understand how difficult it will be to watch the movie further. The makers of the film have shown that every 20 minutes, a rape is reported in the country, and on the day Parima was raped, there were 80 rape complaints filed. During the movie, every 20 minutes, a slate comes on screen, and we are reminded that while we are in a theatre watching Assi, a rape has been reported outside. Assi has scenes that will leave you disturbed. Even though it is not a horror film, some scenes will send a shiver down your spine. The movie showcases how the life of the rape survivor and her family changes after the incident. Some scenes are shown from her child's point of view, and they are heartbreaking. This is not a dramatic courtroom drama, but a very realistic film. As soon as the lawyers raise their voices, the judge quickly reminds them to maintain decorum. While the film mainly concentrates on the rape case, there's a sub-plot about Chatri Man, which doesn't impress. Also, the pace is a bit slow. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taapsee Pannu (@taapsee) Assi Review - Actors' Performances Taapsee Pannu is back with a bang! The actress is simply fantastic as the lawyer fighting for justice. Her strong performance will surely grab your attention. However, it is Kani Kusruti, as Parima, who steals the show. Her performance is so natural that you will sympathise with her character, and her act will surely get tears in your eyes. After Taapsee and Kani, it is child actor Advik Jaiswal who impresses us a lot with his performance. It is not an easy character, but the cute kid has performed very well. Supporting actors like Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Satyajit Sharma, Kumud Mishra, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, Seema Pahwa, and Jatin Goswami are good in their respective roles. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taapsee Pannu (@taapsee) Assi Review - Music After Mardaani 3 and Tu Yaa Main, this is the third film in a row whose background score has turned out to be fantastic. Ranjit Barot's background music is very impressive in Assi. Assi Review - FPJ Verdict Overall, Assi is a hard-hitting and disturbing film.

A new dating trends report released by an Indian dating app, Aisle, during Valentines Day week has highlighted an interesting shift in how modern Indians approach romance and communication. Titled 'Better Because of Love', the study explores how relationships are influencing emotional growth, behaviour and expectations among singles across the country. One of the most striking findings reveals that nearly 50% of Indian women prefer clear, written words over emojis while flirting. The report is based on insights from 5,868 Indians across generations, including Gen Z (43%), Millennials (54%), and Gen X (3%). Participants were largely from metro and Tier-1 cities (87%), with contributions from NRIs (9%) and Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets (4%). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aisle (@aislenetwork) Around 84% of respondents said relationships have made them better people. Many associated love with becoming more patient (63.6%), improving communication skills (49.1%), gaining confidence (44.2%), and developing greater self-awareness (40.1%). This indicates that modern relationships are no longer just about companionship but also about emotional learning and resilience. While, 31.5% of women identify with Kareena Kapoor Khan's character Geet from the Jab We Met movie. The report also notes that this is not just about an impulsive romance but about evaluating consistency, knowing compatibility and making sure of emotional availability.

About 53% of Indian singles treat Valentines Day like any other day, suggesting declining social pressure around grand celebrations.

However, the finding about flirting stands out the most in todays digital dating era. The preference for words over emojis reflects a desire for clarity, sincerity and emotional intention, showing that when it comes to romance, what you say still matters more than how many heart emojis you send.

UP CM Yogi Adityanath Highlights Zero Tolerance Policy, Urges Action Against Crime
Lucknow : Participating in the discussion on the motion of thanks on the Governors Address, the Chief Minister also raised several serious questions before the Leader of the Opposition. He said, Before 2017, goons and mafia were being nurtured under state patronage in Uttar Pradesh. The Leader of the Opposition himself mentioned some such names, while he hesitated to mention many others. Our government had spoken about a policy of zero tolerance from the very first day and even today the government is functioning under its zero tolerance policy. Whoever commits a crime will be brought within the ambit of law. CM added, before 2017, goons and mafia nurtured under state patronage were running a parallel government. They were promoting the culture of gunda tax, illegal extortion and One District One Mafia. Law had become the preserve of a few hands. Curfew and riots were a common occurrence. Festivals had become synonymous not with faith but with fear. The morale of the police was broken. Neither daughters were safe nor were traders secure. The image of the state had become synonymous with anarchy and instability and today Uttar Pradesh is a state of celebration, not unrest. The Chief Minister said, record police recruitments, a new phase of women empowerment, modern policing and strong cyber and forensic infrastructure are today the identity of Uttar Pradesh. Whether it is cyber crime, prompt and emergency services, or zero tolerance towards crime and criminals, today rule of law can be seen in Uttar Pradesh. Robust law and order has transformed Uttar Pradesh from a fear zone to a faith zone. There is no atmosphere of fear now, there is faith in the hearts of people. A resident of Uttar Pradesh can travel to any district without fear. He added, The culture of curfew has been replaced by a culture of zero tolerance. In place of riots, festive and temple economy is growing. Who would have thought that crores of people would come to Ayodhya? In the 2013 Kumbh in Prayagraj, a total of 12 crore devotees arrived and this time 21 crore devotees have come during the Magh Mela itself. This is the change. The Magh Mela used to be associated with Kalpvasis, but the record created in this Magh Mela is a symbol of peoples faith. Now there is neither curfew nor riot here, in UP everything is fine. The Chief Minister said, today women feel secure in Uttar Pradesh and traders have a fear free environment. In these eight years, more than 2,19,000 police personnel have been recruited. Out of this, 20 percent women have been mandatorily included. The training capacity of the police has been increased many times. Youth from every district have received opportunities in police recruitment without discrimination. Unprecedented development has taken place in police infrastructure facilities. Earlier police personnel used to live in dilapidated barracks. CM also added, Today if you visit districts, you will find high rise buildings serving as police infrastructure facilities. When it comes to modern policing, seven police commissionerates have been established, for which your government could never take a decision. We implemented the forensic science ecosystem in the state. Three new laws have come into force and a State Forensic Institute has been established in Lucknow. Degree, diploma and certificate courses have already commenced. The Chief Minister said, before 2017 there were only two cyber crime police stations, today there are cyber crime police stations in all 75 districts. In addition, every police station in the state has a cyber help desk. So far, this system has also contributed to recovering and preventing thousands of crores of rupees that were being extorted by cyber criminals. After the implementation of three new laws, forensic evidence has been made mandatory in every crime where the punishment is more than seven years. Earlier two or three labs were functional in Uttar Pradesh, today we have established 12 A grade labs and six are under construction. Two forensic vans have been provided in every district so that evidence can be collected and criminals can be punished. These are efforts made in a new direction. UP CM Yogi Adityanath Highlights 60 Lakh Homes Built For Poor In 9 Years Referring to the Safe City initiative, the Chief Minister added that whether it is Mumbai or Gujarat or Uttar Pradesh, only the BJP can provide security everywhere. In Uttar Pradesh, we have implemented the Safe City target in 17 municipal corporations including Gautam Buddh Nagar district. CCTV camera coverage at every district headquarters is being monitored through Integrated Command and Control Centres. The Uttar Pradesh Special Security Force has also been constituted in the state. Along with this, 34 companies of PAC have been reorganised and revived, because it is the nemesis of rioters. Any party that supports riots does not support PAC. CM also added, During the tenure of the Samajwadi Party, there was a conspiracy to virtually dismantle it. Now along with its reorganisation, three companies of Women PAC have been formed and three more companies are going to be formed. The three Women PAC companies that have been formed have been named after Veerangana Uda Devi in Lucknow, Veerangana Jhalkari Devi in Gorakhpur and Veerangana Avanti Bai Lodhi in Badaun. Three new battalions are going to be formed.

This was the second time Zimbabwe had slayed the heavyweight Australian team in the shortest format of the sport after the 2007 edition. Australia struggled in the bowling department and could scalp only two wickets in Zimbabwes batting effort where they posted a total of 169. In chase of a competitive 170, Australia were rocked by Blessing Muzarabani and Brad Evans, who picked up four and three wickets respectively. Except for the efforts of Matt Renshaw, who slammed 65 off 44 balls, and Glenn Maxwells 31 none of the other Australian batters could take the attack to the Zimbabweans as they capitulated to 146 in 19.3 overs.

Meta is reportedly working to bring facial recognition to its smart glasses
Meta has backed away from highly controversial facial recognition tech in its products and services before, but seemingly not so far that it isnt willing to have another crack at it. A new report from The New York Times claims Mark Zuckerbergs company wants to add facial recognition to its lineup of branded smart glasses at some point this year. The NYT spoke to four anonymous people with knowledge of Metas plans, who told the publication that the feature is codenamed Name Tag internally. As youd expect, it would let people wearing Meta-powered Oakley or Ray-Ban glasses identify people and get information about them using AI. Such technology naturally carries huge privacy and ethical risks, which is reportedly why Meta was hesitant to unveil Name Tag at a conference for the blind last year. It also may have shelved plans to include facial recognition in the first version of its smart glasses, which launched in 2023. In an internal memo from Metas Reality Labs viewed by the NYT , Meta said that the current political instability in the US presents a good opportunity for it to push ahead with its plans. We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns, it said. With the smart glasses market expected to become more competitive in the coming years, Meta seemingly believes facial recognition would give it an edge on rival products from the likes of OpenAI. As for how it would work, the company is considering its options. It could recognize people the wearer is already connected to via one of Metas apps, or potentially display information from public Instagram accounts. The NYT s sources said that universal facial recognition, effectively allowing you to look up the identity of anyone you walked past, would not be possible. Meta shut down Facebooks Face Recognition system, used when tagging people in photos, in 2021, following widespread public backlash over privacy concerns. Three years later, it brought it back, this time as a tool for Instagram and Facebook designed to detect scam ads that use the faces of celebrities and other public figures. Last year Meta rolled out the feature beyond the US, so Facebook and later Instagram users in the UK, Europe and South Korea could also use it on their accounts.

Mumbai, Feb 13: The Bombay High Court has granted ad-interim relief to music composer and filmmaker Palash Muchhal in his defamation suit against actor-producer Vidnyan Mane. Justice Milind Jadhav, on February 11, restrained Mane from making or repeating statements that the court found prima facie defamatory. The order was passed while hearing an application filed by Muchhal in his civil suit seeking damages and a permanent injunction over interviews in which Mane allegedly made insinuations about the composer and his family. The disputed remarks were circulated through media interviews and later amplified on social media. Court observations Muchhal approached the court after learning of interviews aired in January 2026 in which Mane allegedly referred to a personal incident and a commercial dispute between them. His advocates Siddhesh Bhole, Ashwin Pimpale, Shreyash Mithare and Pankaj Das submitted that the excerpts contained false, outrageous and highly defamatory accusations intended to malign the plaintiffs reputation. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Palaash Muchhal (@palash_muchhal) After reviewing the transcripts, the court observed that certain remarks were prima facie insinuating and per se defamatory, particularly references directed at Muchhals family. The judge noted that the precursor incident cited in the interview appeared unrelated to the commercial dispute and did not justify the nature of the statements. On going through the same, and references made therein, an arguable case has been made out Defendant No.1 (Mane) is restrained from making any further references and insinuations of the kind and nature attacking the Plaintiff and his mother which are made in the said interviews which are prima facie defamatory, the court noted. Ad-interim relief granted Granting ad-interim relief, the court ordered that the defendants be barred from repeating or airing or re-airing or publishing republishing the impugned statements or any similar defamatory remarks pending further hearing. The court has issued notice to the defendants and directed them to file their replies within two weeks. Also Watch: Palash Muchhal Granted Interim Relief By Bombay HC In 10 Crore Defamation Case, Vidnyan Mane Barred From Making Defamatory Statements The dispute gained public attention after Mane accused Muchhal of financial wrongdoing and made claims relating to his personal life, including his called-off wedding with Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana.

Meta really wants you to believe social media addiction is 'not a real thing'
Meta went to court this week in two major trials over alleged harms facilitated by its platform. In New Mexico, the state's attorney general has accused the company of facilitating child exploitation and harming children through addictive features. In a separate case in Los Angeles, a California woman sued the company over mental health harms she says she suffered as the result of addictive design choices from Meta and others. In both cases, Meta has disputed the idea that social media should be considered an addiction. On the stand this week, Instagram chief Adam Mosseri said that social media isn't clinically addictive , comparing it to being addicted to a Netflix show . In opening statements in the New Mexico trial, Meta's lawyer Kevin Huff went further. He told the jury that social media addiction is not a thing because it's not in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the handbook used by mental health professionals in the US. According to the American Psychiatric Association, they don't recognize the concept of social media addiction in the same way as addiction to drugs and alcohol, Huff said during opening arguments that were broadcast by Courtroom View Network. What you see on the screen is what's called the DSM, which is basically the official manual for recognized mental disorders. The American Psychiatric Association studied this and decided that social media addiction is not a thing. But the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has never said that social media addiction doesn't exist. The organization provides information and resources about social media addiction on its website . Social media addiction is not currently listed as a diagnosis in the DSM-5-TRbut that does not mean it doesnt exist, the APA said in a statement to Engadget. Dr. Tania Moretta, a clinical pyschophysiology researcher who has studied social media addiction, agrees. The absence of a DSM classification does not mean that a behavior cannot be addictive, maladaptive or clinically significant, she told Engadget. That argument, she said, reflects a misunderstanding of how psychiatry professionals define and classify conditions. Diagnostic manuals formalize scientific consensus; they do not define the boundaries of legitimate scientific inquiry. Many maladaptive behaviors and clinically significant symptom patterns are studied and treated well before receiving official classification. Meta's critics have long claimed that the company has profited from addictive features that hook children and teens. The trials in Los Angeles and New Mexico are just the start of several court battles over the issue. The social media company is also facing a high-profile trial with school districts in June, and lawsuits from 41 state attorneys general . Moretta said that social media addiction is a field that requires more study, but that there is already evidence that it can have harmful effects on some people. At present, from a scientific perspective, there is documented evidence that social media use disorder is associated with both psychophysiological alterations, including changes in reward/motivational and inhibitory/regulatory systems, and clinically significant negative impacts on functioning (e.g., sleep disturbances, psychological distress, impairment in social, academic, or occupational domains), she said. The key question is not whether all social media use is addictive, but whether a subset of users exhibits patterns consistent with behavioral addiction models and whether specific platform design features may exacerbate vulnerability in predisposed individuals. Both trials are ongoing and expected to last the next several weeks. In New Mexico, jurors have already heard from former employee turned whistleblower Arturo Bejar and former exec Brian Boland , both of whom have publicly criticized the company for not prioritizing safety. In Los Angeles, Mosseri's testimony has wrapped up, but Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is expected to testify next week. The trials will also feature extensive internal documents from Meta, including details about the company's own research into the mental health impacts of its platform on young people.

An off-field confrontation during the ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2026 has sparked fresh debate online after Australian supporter Jake Jeakings addressed a viral incident involving a Pakistani fan in the stands. During a match, a Pakistani supporter approached Jeakings claiming to have a gift. The item turned out to be a piece of sandpaper, a clear reference to Australias infamous ball-tampering scandal. The moment, captured on video, showed a tense exchange between the two, with Jeakings appearing irritated but maintaining composure as spectators looked on.

He further alleged that Saud had messaged him about scripting a collaborative video to fool everyone. Jeakings urged followers not to give the other party attention and insisted he would always stand up for himself. He also brushed aside criticism directed at him, ending his statement with a bold prediction: 15th of Oct India beat Pakistan again!!
