Panic triggered after backpack catches fire at Berlin Airport
A sudden fire broke out at Berlin Airport on Saturday when a backpack spontaneously caught fire, sparking panic among passengers and airport staff. The incident took place at a busy terminal as the black backpack was seen engulfed in flames, with surrounding luggage remaining untouched by the blaze. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ashley Perona (@everwandertravel) The alarming scene quickly escalated as passengers, including a woman nearby, were seen scrambling to get away from the fire. In one video captured by a fellow traveler, a woman is seen running in haste to escape the danger, slipping but thankfully avoiding serious injury. Security personnel quickly responded to the emergency, using a fire extinguisher to bring the blaze under control before it could spread. The video of the incident has since gone viral, with many sharing their shock and relief at the situation being contained without further harm. The owner of the backpack, who was nearby when the fire started, suffered only mild burns. Fortunately, there were no other reported injuries, and authorities quickly ensured the area was safe. The incident, which unfolded just before passengers were boarding their flights, caused brief chaos at the airport as travelers scrambled to ensure their safety. The alarming situation was shared on social media by a fellow passenger, who wrote, POV: Minding my own business getting ready to board a flight in Berlin, and then all h*ll breaks loose after someone's backpack spontaneously combusts. The passenger expressed gratitude, adding, I'm counting my blessings this didn't happen 30 minutes later while on the plane. Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, though it is believed that the backpack may have contained a malfunctioning electronic device. While the situation was quickly resolved, it serves as a reminder of the potential dangers posed by unchecked electronic devices and other items in public spaces.

Visakhapatnam students pioneer seagrass restoration, win US fellowship
VISAKHAPATNAM: Four students from Dr Lankapalli Bullaya College in Visakhapatnam have taken a remarkable step in addressing coastal erosion and climate change by pioneering a project focused on restoring seagrass ecosystems. Their innovative approach has not only garnered recognition but also earned them a 10-day fellowship trip to the United States, where they will collaborate with global climate experts. The students T Harshitha, A Tejaambika, M Ashwini, and J Karthikeya Narayana are final year B.Sc. students specialising in Biotechnology, Microbiology, and Chemistry. Their ambitious project, titled Pioneering Blue Carbon Ecosystems: Restoring Seagrass Meadows on Visakhapatnam Coast, was part of the Climate Tank Accelerator competition. This initiative, organised by the Student Society for Climate Change Awareness (SSCCA) in collaboration with Seeds of Peace USA, brought together young innovators from five South Asian countries to develop practical solutions to climate challenges. The Visakhapatnam team stood out among competitors, securing $1,000 in seed funding and the chance to present their work alongside winning teams from Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Their focus on seagrass meadows, which absorb 33% more carbon dioxide than terrestrial plants, highlights the vital role these ecosystems play in carbon sequestration and coastal protection. To implement their project, the team sourced two seagrass species, Halophila ovalis and Halodule pinifolia, from Odishas Chilika Lagoon. They acclimatised the plants using local seawater, sediment, and seaweed-based fertilisers, and enhanced their growth with visible light and artificial CO2 generated through a DIY setup. Months of rigorous research, starting in April 2024 under the guidance of faculty member B Madhavi, were met with challenges such as adverse weather delays. However, the teams perseverance led to the successful demonstration of seagrass restoration along Visakhapatnams coast. Seagrass meadows offer a natural and effective solution to coastal erosion and climate change. They protect shorelines and enhance carbon absorption, benefiting the environment significantly, the students explained. Community engagement was an integral part of their efforts. The team organised art exhibitions, public talks, and educational campaigns to raise awareness about seagrass importance in combating climate change. Their initiative also earned them second place at a national conference, further spotlighting the potential of their work. During the fellowship in the US, the quartet will exchange ideas with global climate leaders and other student innovators. This opportunity will help us refine our project and inspire more community-driven conservation initiatives, they noted. As coastal erosion continues to threaten Visakhapatnam, their project offers hope and a blueprint for actionable solutions.
Subiksha: Fisherwoman who conquered deep blue
THOOTHUKUDI: The Periyathalai shoreline is alive with the sound of crashing waves when a silhouette emerges in the faint glow of the moonlit sky, balancing fishing nets on her shoulder as the salt-laden wind whips around her. It is common for people on the seashore to carry a fish basket on their heads, but carrying fishing nets on their shoulders is uncommon. Subiksha, a 23-year-old fisherwoman, moves with the ease of someone born to the sea. A fibre craft boat waits at the waters edge, bobbing against the fierce waves. As her father and brother push the vessel into the surf, Subiksha climbs aboard, ready to chart yet another daring voyage into the dark, unpredictable waters. Unlike most women in her village, who stick to selling the days catch on the shore, Subiksha has embraced the life of a full-fledged fisherwoman a role traditionally reserved for men. From casting nets to hauling them back with precision, she has defied societal norms to claim her place in the deep blue, where every journey is a test of endurance and skill. For Subiksha, the sea is both a challenge and a calling. Fishing isnt just about physical strength; it demands courage and precision, she says. Over the past two years, Subiksha has joined her father, J Kumar, and brother, K Leander (22), in their fishing trips, defying high waves and stormy weather. The family ventures as far as 12 nautical miles into the sea, leaving at 1 am and returning by 10 am. Her first experience at sea was anything but ordinary. It was a dark, moonless night and the stars shone like scattered diamonds. I was mesmerised by the beauty of the deep sea but terrified by the towering waves that lifted the boat and dropped it sharply, she recalls. Despite her initial nerves, she didnt succumb to nauseaa rite of passage that convinced her father to let her continue fishing. Her father, however, was reluctant at first. The coast off Periyathalai is among the most violent on the Coromandel coast, with strong waves and challenging conditions. I didnt want her to face these risks, says Kumar. But Subikshas persistence eventually won him over. A 23-year-old fisherwoman from Periyathalai has turned her passion for the sea into a thriving seafood business and social media success story. Fishing in open waters comes with its share of hardships. I engage in all kinds of fishing catching crabs, squid, and different types of fish like salai (sardines), ayilai (mackerel), and pei salai (Indian oil sardines). Each requires a specific type of net and varying distances of travel, she explains. The sea, however, is unpredictable. There are days when the catch is plentiful and others when they return empty-handed. Ive seen my father come home with nothing but a heavy heart. Now that Ive experienced it, I share his pain, she says. As a woman in a predominantly male domain, Subiksha faces unique challenges, including the lack of basic facilities on board. Attending to natures call in the middle of the sea is one of the hardest things, but Ive learned to manage, she admits. A graduate in English literature, she briefly worked at a private bank and a finance firm in Thoothukudi before returning to her true passion. Today, she is not only a fisherwoman but also a successful seafood entrepreneur. She produces seven varieties of fish pickles, including dry fish, tuna, prawn, and kingfish pickles, which she sells locally and via Instagram. Her products have even found buyers among seafarers travelling to foreign countries. She is also a budding sea vlogger, documenting the life of fishermen and the raw beauty of the sea. Her YouTube channel boasts of 2.55 lakh subscribers, while her Instagram account has 1.34 lakh followers. I want to show people how fisherfolk risk their lives to provide protein-rich food, she says. Her videos capture everything from the fury of the waves to the intricate techniques of fishing, offering a window into a world few truly understand. I want to travel to various fishing hamlets and learn different methods of fishing, she says. As the boat glides back to shore, Subiksha carefully sorts the fresh catch, her hands deftly separating crabs, squid, and shimmering fish from the nets. The salty breeze carries a sense of accomplishment. For ages, women have been confined to the shore, even though fishermen themselves call the sea a mother nurturing yet tempestuous, boundless yet grounding. Subiksha, however, has rewritten the narrative, proving that women can venture into the mother sea and return with its bounties. As she steps on to the sand with the days catch, her journey speaks of breaking barriers and reclaiming a legacy that was always hers to claim. (Edited by Adarsh T R)

As part of its efforts to take the tourism sector to the next level, Dome City is being constructed on three and a quarter hectares of land. The Mahakumbh visitors will experience the feeling of staying in a hill station while visiting the Sangam. The Dome City is being built at a cost of Rs 51 crore, said Johri. There will be 44 domes each measuring 32x32 feet and built at a height of 15 to 18 feet. The domes will be constructed with 360-degree polycarbonate sheets that are both bulletproof and fireproof. The visitors will be able to stay in those domes 24/7, enjoying modern amenities while taking in the breathtaking views of the Kumbh. A total of 176 cottages are being built in the Dome City. Each will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. Every 16x16 cottage will have air conditioning facility, a geyser, and arrangements for Satvik (simple) food, said an official spokesman. While the cottages can be taken on a rent of Rs 81,000 during the bathing festival and Rs 41,000 on regular days, the rent for a domes is set at Rs 1,10,000 during the bathing festival and Rs 81,000 on normal days. Online booking for the domes has already started. To add a spiritual touch, there will be arrangements for religious and cultural presentations. This effort aims at setting a new record for international-level tourism facilities at the Maha Kumbh.
Arms, not satyagraha drove British out, says Bihar Governor Rajendra Arlekar
PATNA: Bihar Governor Rajendra Arlekar on Friday said British rulers left India not because of satyagraha, but when they saw arms in native peoples hands and realised that they can go to any extent. The governors claim at a book release function held in Goa, evoked sharp reactions from the Opposition, saying the BJP has been disrespecting the freedom fighters. The video of the governors statement went viral. Arlekar said that the statement of the then MPs of the British parliament can be taken into account to prove this fact. They (MPs) not only mentioned Satyagrah but also referred to the arms struggle, which made the British realize that it was time for them to leave India, he added. Arlekar said that the invaders tried to create a narrative to defend their action against the Indians. He underlined the need to present an accurate account of history. It will help the present generation know the facts about our freedom struggle, he remarked. He added said that the then Indian government also supported Britishers narrative.
Petition seeking Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's removal in Allahabad HC
LUCKNOW: A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed before the Allahabad High Court, seeking removal of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for publicly backing Justice Shekhar Yadavs controversial remarks at a Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) event in Prayagraj on December 8. The PIL, filed by the Peoples Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), contended that CMs statement undermines the secular fabric of the Republic of India. Yogi, during the World Hindu Economic Forum 2024, had condemned the opposition for seeking the impeachment of Justice Yadav over his remarks that the law of any country should have the reflection of the free will of its majority. On December 16, Yogi had reiterated his support for Justice Yadavs statements. Speaking in UP Assembly, Yogi said that when a judge spoke the truth, some individuals resorted to intimidate him with the threat of impeachment The PIL filed through advocate Seema Srivastava, maintains that CM Yogis remarks are a blatant violation of the Constitution, rendering him liable for dismissal as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.
CM Siddaramaiah has left the wheel, DKS running show with vendetta politics: LoP Ashoka
BENGALURU: Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R Ashoka on Saturday accused Deputy CM D K Shivakumar of resorting to vendetta politics against Opposition parties. But Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is not bothered as he will be stepping down from his post, he said. Referring to the alleged attack on senior BJP leader C T Ravi and high-handedness by the police, Ashoka indirectly said this has happened at the behest of Shivakumar who wants to become the CM. As he (Siddaramaiah) was not the one who used to be, the ministers went out of his control. Shivakumar, in order to impress the Congress high command, has been snubbing the voice of the Opposition. In the Maharishi Valmiki ST Development Corporation scam, B Nagendra resigned, and the next will be Siddaramaiah, he said at a joint press conference in the Vidhana Soudha. The Ravi episode is akin to the rakta charita movie -- an Andhra Pradesh model of governance. Congress worked to snub and confront the Opposition. The CM is not bothered about anything as whatever the ministers have done is the law. He is not the Siddaramaiah of the past now. It is all a game played by Shivakumar with the aim that if the BJP is snubbed, he will get the blessings of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi and he may become the CM soon. Which was why he was doing all this, he alleged. He took strong exception to the police taking Ravi, who received threats from naxals, to sugarcane fields and stone quarries, on the pretext of his (Ravis) safety. Some people hide in forests and quarries for safety because there are animals there, and no one comes there. The commissioner said it was for his safety. Was it safe? Will the animals around take care of one. The police found a new way of safety. There is a place called Parappana Agrahara in Bengaluru that is safe, he said. He suggested that the CM and ministers should be taken to the sugarcane fields and quarries and leave them for their safety. Replying to Shivakumar that he would have taken action if his party leader had done something like Ravi, allegedly badmouthing minister Laxmi Hebbalkar, Ashoka hit back saying that there were umpteen cases, including rape charges, against Congress leaders. An MLA has been accused of bribery, policeman Parashuram committed suicide after being asked for money and many cases have been registered. Why was no action taken? he asked. LoP in the council Chalavadi Narayanaswamy also said Shivakumar has become the power centre in the government. He rued that the issue of multi-crore scam in the tenders called in the Raichur thermal power plant could not be discussed in length.
DEC 22 National Mathematics day: Birth anniversary of the Man who knew infinity
Since the early ancient times, Indian scholars including Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Mahavira and Bhaskara II have made significant contributions in the mathematical field. Today we celebrate the National Mathematics day to honor one such great renowned mathematician of India, Srinivasa Ramanujan for his dedicated work and enormous contribution to the field of mathematics. Marking the 125 th birth anniversary of the mathematician at Madras University in 2011, then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh introduced celebration of National Mathematics day every year. The following year 2012 was also celebrated as the Mathematics year. Since then, every year there are various educational events, competitions and quizzes are held in schools, colleges, institutes and universities all over India. Major work of Ramanujan includes- The number theory, Infinite series, Continued fractions, Mathematical analysis and Solutions to the most difficult problems. Know about the legendary mathematician- The genius magician of mathematics, Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on 22 nd Dec 1887 in a Tamil Brahmin Iyengar family in Erode, Tamil Nadu. At the age of two, he contracted small pox, which cost nearly 4000 people their lives in the Thanjavur district. But Ramanujan could survive, survive to thrive. Ramanujan was a born prodigy showing early signs of a future genius. Not only this, he knew the Puranas too. Ramanujan was mere 12 years old, when he learned trigonometry and develop his own theories. When he turned 15, Ramanujan got a copy of George Shoobridge Carrs Synopsis of Elementary results in Pure and Applied Mathematics. At a young age, Ramanujan started working as a clerk to meet his familys needs. While in spare time, he used to solve mathematical question and worked on theorems. The work of Ramanujan was published in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society in 1911. In 1913, he started a mail correspondence with G.H. Hardy who was an English mathematician, a professor at the University of Cambridge, London. Impressed by his extraordinary work, Hardy called him to Cambridge. In his lifetime, Ramanujan could compile 3900 results which included identities and equations. The original, novel results that came out are the Ramanujan prime, Ramanujan theta function, partition formulae and mock theta functions. This opened new dimensions of work and fields of research. Ramanujan discovered the theory of divergent series and worked upon the Riemann series, elliptic integrals, hypergeometric series and functional equations of the zeta function. And for your information, the number 1729 is known as the Hardy- Ramanujan number. The Ramanujan journal, a scientific journal publishes all the work in mathematics that has been influenced by Ramanujan. He was one of the youngest and a second Indian in fellows of the Royal society. Also the first Indian to be elected a fellow of Trinity college, Cambridge. He returned to India in 1919 suffering from Hepatic Amoebiasis, which led to an early death when he was 32 years old. Even today, his work is been used to study the universe; in signal processing, in understanding the black holes. Significance of the day- The primary objective to celebrate National Mathematics day is to raise awareness and inform to people the importance of Mathematics in daily life. Basically, the science behind the math and how it is significant for the prosperity and development of mankind. Initiatives are taken to motivate, encourage and develop a keen attitude in the younger generation towards learning mathematics. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and cultural organization (UNSCO) works together with India to establish an understanding towards mathematical learning. Efforts are undertaken to educate and spread knowledge about Mathematics among learners around the world. The oldest science academy in Prayagraj, The National Academy of Science (NASI) conducts a workshop on Mathematics and Ramanujans work. Experts and speakers from all over the world attend the workshop discussing the contributions of the Mathematician. A two-day workshop on History of Indian maths before 16 th century was organized in 2019 by NASI. Shrinivasa Ramanujan is the pride of India. With mathematics, he brought India glory and fortune. His work is studied, appreciated and attributed to be one of the greatest of all times. Hardy himself commented, defeated me completely; I had never seen anything in the least like them before.

4000 schools in Tamil Nadu may lose internet over unpaid bills
CHENNAI: At a time when the state government is promoting smart classrooms and hi-tech labs across state schools, more than 3,700 high and higher secondary government schools may soon lose their internet connection as they havent been able to settle outstanding bills worth Rs 1.5 crore to BSNL. A majority of these 3,700 government schools, which account for 50% of the total 6,223 high and higher secondary schools in TN, have not paid their internet bills for the last two to three months, mainly due to lack of funds. A school education department circular sent to chief education officers of all districts said the hi-tech labs in these 3700 schools are equipped with Fibre to the Home (FTTH) connections under the Samagra Shiksha Scheme. BSNL, in a letter from its TN Telecom Circle, had warned of service suspension if dues arent paid by Saturday. In May first week, the state government said it was partnering with BSNL to upgrade internet speeds in schools from 5-6 Mbps to 100 Mbps, addressing the growing need for faster connectivity. High-speed internet has already been installed in 5,907 out of 6,223 schools and the remaining would be covered by the end of that month, an official release said. Schools with fewer students struggle to cover net costs A section of schools were allowed to individually engage other service providers since BSNL did not have a stronger presence in some areas. Reliable internet is essential for the operation of hi-tech labs, which are being used to improve learning through multimedia. These labs also facilitate career guidance, language classes and mental health programmes for students. Headmasters said the government previously provided internet connections through a private player at a speed of 3 to 5 Mbps. Schools were sanctioned around Rs 20,000 per year for this. Currently, the department allocates Rs 1,500 per month towards charges. The amount is released, however, only once in three to six months. Many headmasters pay the bills either from their pocket or from the maintenance grant provided to schools and get it reimbursed once funds for internet are released. However, schools with lower student strength struggle to cover the costs as their maintenance grants are minimal, said a headmaster from Dharmapuri. Headmasters have urged the department to directly pay electricity and internet bills to the service providers in a centralised manner to ease the financial burden on schools and avoid issues of payment delays. Officials from the school education department said that the funds for internet charges for schools have been released till August for high schools and till September for higher secondary schools. There might be hiccups in release of funds from the district office to the schools. We have called for a meeting of CEOs to address this. We have also asked the internet operators not to suspend the service, said an official. When asked if the bills could be directly settled to the operators by the department, the official said that while BSNL has provided the service in most schools, some have also opted for other operators. We will discuss and take a decision on how to prevent the issue in the future, he added.
NETA NATTER | DEMAND FOR INQUIRIES WILL LEAD TO SUPPLY REVANTH
Ask and ye shall receive. That appears to be the story with the BRS with Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy turning the tables on the Opposition party in the Legislative Assembly using the BRS challenges to his advantage. It started with former power minister G. Jagadish Reddy daring Revanth to order an inquiry into alleged irregularities in the Yadadri Thermal Power Plant project. Revanth seized the moment, and announced a judicial probe. Then came former finance minister T. Harish Rao, who challenged Revanth to cancel the Outer Ring Road (ORR) lease tender awarded during the last days of the BRS regime. Again, Revanth acted, initiating an SIT inquiry into the irregularities in the ORR tender. While BRS leaders including Harish and KTR accuse Revanth of vendetta politics, Revanth says these inquiries follow BRS leaders own demands in the Assembly, asserting his commitment to transparency, and not revenge. KOMATIREDDY BROTHERS DRAW EVERYONES ATTENTION In Telanganas political soap opera, the current talk of the town is the Komatireddy brothers. While the elder Komatireddy Venkat Reddy is a minister, his younger brother Raj Gopal Reddy is lobbying hard for his turn. Raj Gopal, who switched from the BJP to the Congress, claims the party promised him a ministerial berth a promise he says remains unfulfilled even after a year of Congress governance. However, Congress MLAs are up in arms against the idea of two Cabinet posts for the same family, same caste and same district. Critics argue that such favouritism would alienate party cadres, spark public backlash, and tarnish the Congress image. But Raj Gopal remains defiant, insisting on his due. The Komatireddy saga adds yet another twist to the long-awaited Cabinet expansion, keeping political circles buzzing as speculation and internal rifts escalate. SPOOKY FORT ATTRACTS THE SUPERSTITIOUS It is not quite haunted like the old ruins in movies sometimes are, but the Koulas fort in Jukkal mandal of Kamareddy district has built a reputation of its own for all those who visit. At least those who are government officers. And, of course, for politicians. The lore goes that folks from these categories after a visit to the fort will face a certain transfer and this received some fresh traction soon after the recent visit to the age-old edifice by excise and tourism minister Jupally Krishna Rao. Soon after Jupally checked out the fort, began a demand from BC welfare organisations who are staking claim that a person from one of their communities, the Goud community to be particular, be made the excise minister. And so, the wait is on to see whether the if-you-want-a-transfer-visit- Koulas-fort belief will stand the test of time. FORESTS MINISTER LAYING LOW? It is not uncommon for people to wait for a visit by a minister to their village, or neighbourhood in case of a large town, hoping for some good tidings to follow. But in the case of the erstwhile Adilabad district, things appear a little different. It is not roads, parks, or the like but tigers and leopards that are on top of the minds of people here who have been wondering why forests minister Konda Surekha has not visited areas which recently witnessed conflicts between wild animals and humans, and even the death of a woman. Whether Surekha will actually visit the human-wildlife conflict areas is up in the air but the question of why she has not done so, other than expressing sympathy to families of victims of wild animal attacks through statements issued from Hyderabad, is increasingly doing the rounds. TEA STALL AWAITS FOR CM ENTHUSIASTICALLY For those familiar with the Chai Pe Charcha started by the BJP, here is an update. Apparently hoping to catch the governments eye, employees of Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan in Jangaon have decided that maybe a cup of tea, or a whole tea stall, will catch the eye of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and get redressal of their long-pending demands. And so, they ran a tea stall during their protest programme pointing out that while in the Opposition Revanth had assured them that he would address their issue of regularising their employment within the time it takes to sip a cuppa. And so went the explanation, the tea stall protested, but they were not certain if the aroma of the tea had reached the Chief Minister yet. BJP MLA FLAUNTS DOUBLE STANDARDS Wrong for some. Right for me. What is sauce for the goose may no longer be sauce for the gander. This appears to be a fairly accepted norm in politics on various issues, none more common than leaders jumping from one party to another. When Andhra Pradesh former minister Mutamsetti Srinivasa Rao, who in the past wore a clutch of different party caps, quit the YSRC after the general elections, it did not take long for BJP MLA P. Vishnu Kumar Raju to point out that it was unethical for political leaders to quit a party which lost an election, clearly pointing out that enjoying power and then quitting after a loss was just not the thing to do. But if they are joining BJP they are welcome, Raju told media persons in Visakhapatnam raising quite a few eyebrows. COMPETITION AMONG AP POLITICOS HEATS UP There is a certain sense of competition between APs Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and human resources minister Nara Lokesh in the who-is-the-more-efficient- minister stakes. All appeared to be going well on this front in general with folks quite happy being in one of the two camps, but recently home minister Anitha threw a proverbial wrench into the works. For her, it was neither Pawan nor Lokesh who was the most hardworking and efficient in the Chandrababu Naidu Cabinet but water resources minister Nimmala Rama Naidu. The recent floods in Vijayawada proved that Rama Naidu was second only to Naidu when it came to work, she said, pointing out that Rama Naidu, within 36 hours, had many breaches to the Budameru canal filled. That, Anitha said, was the proof of the pudding. PAWAN MAVAYYA ON THE RISE Move over, Jagan Mavayya theres a new Mavayya (uncle) in town. Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan seems to have taken a page out of AP former chief minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddys book, earning the affectionate nickname during his recent visit to a government school. The states parent-teacher meeting initiative brought Pawan to the Municipal Corporation High School in Kadapa, where he interacted with students, and won their hearts. One student even presented a hand-drawn sketch of Pawan, which he autographed and gifted back. Soon, videos of Pawan interacting with the school kids began doing the rounds on social media and netizens promptly crowned him Pawan Mavayya making him the new political uncle, a sort of an honour in the state.

Anita Katyal | Fuss over edited Amit Shah clip; how Priyanka got her Bangla bag
Irrespective of who is to blame for last weeks scuffle between MPs of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress on the Parliament House premises, the fact is that the Narendra Modi government was rattled by the campaign launched by a united Opposition against home minister Amit Shah for what it described as derogatory references to Babasaheb Ambedkar in his Rajya Sabha speech. The Congress circulated a clip of Mr Shahs speech to prove its point. Here, the Congress appears to have learnt from the BJPs IT cell which has edited innumerable speeches of Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders to show them in poor light. Coming at a time when all political parties are seeking to appropriate Ambedkars legacy with an eye on the dalit vote, Prime Minister Narendra Modi defended Mr Shah in a series of tweets in which he also attacked the Congress with the use of extreme terms like its rotten ecosystem. This was followed the next day with the BJP amassing its MPs outside Parliament as a counter to the Opposition protests. A nervous Congress rushed into damage control mode last week when Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra stirred a controversy by carrying a tote bag to Parliament with Palestine written on it. The BJP lost no time in accusing her of minority appeasement, stating that while she was sympathetic to the Palestine cause, Priyanka had not spoken about the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh. Finding itself on the backfoot, the Congress went on an overdrive to procure a fresh set of bags with Bangladesh emblazoned on them. A batch of hundred cloth bags were ordered from Tirupur in Tamil Nadu. These were stitched overnight so they could reach before the Parliament session commenced the next day so that Priyanka could carry this bag. The bags were said to have been procured with the help of Kanyakumari MP Vijay Vasanth who has contacts with several vendors in Tirupur. He had also helped organise cloth bags and T-shirts during Congress leader Rahul Gandhis Bharat Jodo Yatra. Army chief Upendra Dwivedi s recent actions have raised quite a few eyebrows within the service and invited open criticism from veterans for bending backwards to please the political establishment. According to the buzz in Army circles, this could be because Gen. Dwivedis elevation as Army chief was not a smooth affair. Apparently, the Modi government was not too pleased because his stint as Northern Army commander witnessed a spike in terror strikes in the Jammu region. It was speculated that this was the reason the government delayed announcing his name as Army chief, giving his predecessor an extension. Gen. Dwivedi recently courted controversy when the painting showing the ceremonial surrender of Pakistani soldiers to the Indian Army following the 1971 war removed from his South Block office and replaced with a garish painting with mythological images from the Mahabharata , a portrait of Chanakya along with tanks, planes and submarines. Dismayed veterans said this was an insult to those who fought and died in the 1971 war and blamed the Army chief for bringing religion into the armed forces. Gen. Dwivedi was also in the news when he went to Prayagraj on the anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition and spoke appreciatively of the collaboration between the Army and local civil administration in the redevelopment of the historic Patalpuri Temple and other religious places. It was a book launch on Bollywood actresses but Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor made political capital out of it by using the occasion to pay homage to both soldiers who laid down their lives in the 1971 war and Indira Gandhi for her able leadership because of which India registered a historic victory. Participating in a discussion on retired diplomat Surendra Kumars book, Unforgettable Divas of Bollywood , Mr Tharoor first spoke at length about the contribution of women in Indian cinema, how they have put the spotlight on gender and social issues through their roles while many have taken up causes outside their work and still others made a mark in public life. Since the programme was held on December 16, celebrated as Vijay Diwas to commemorate Indias victory in the 1971 war, Mr Tharoor took full advantage of this and ended his talk with a tribute to Indira Gandhi and the soldiers who died in the war. While his cousins are constantly in the news, Varun Gandhi is neither seen nor heard these days. For starters, hes no longer an MP as he was denied a ticket by the Bharatiya Janata Party in the last Lok Sabha election. Currently at a loose end, Varun is spending most of his time at his Delhi farmhouse or travelling abroad. However, he is also said to be exploring other options. According to the Delhi political grapevine, Varun is in touch with a leader of a regional party and is not averse to switching sides if he gets the right offer. Though Varun and the regional party leader are on friendly terms, the latter is learnt to have remarked jokingly that a A Mercedes part would not fit into a Fiat. But then politics is the art of possible.

Former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje's meeting with PM Modi sparks speculation over national role
JAIPUR: Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Rajes meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi has sparked intense political speculation in the state. After the meeting on Friday, Radha Mohan Das Agarwal, Rajasthan BJP in-charge, shared a photo of the interaction on social media with a caption reading: Many, many good wishes and congratulations. @VasundharaBJP https://t.co/cjWWjqEClB Dr.Radha Mohan Das Agrawal (@AgrawalRMD) December 20, 2024 This has fueled rumours that Raje may be considered for a prominent national role, possibly as the BJPs national president - a topic that has been circulating for weeks. The meeting, which took place in Parliament and lasted around 20 to 25 minutes, focused on Rajasthan's political and developmental situation. According to reports, PM Modi sought Raje's feedback, and she shared her views on the progress made under the Bhajan Lal government while raising concerns over certain organisational matters. Sources suggest that Raje specifically mentioned issues in Baran-Jhalawar, criticising the government's perceived indifference to development projects in the region. She also noted that while she is treated with respect in meetings with the Chief Minister, tangible progress on pending issues remains slow. Raje reportedly clarified that she is not seeking any position but wants to see effective governance to ensure the BJP's success in the 2028 elections. PM Modi assured her that the developmental concerns would be addressed and encouraged her to stay aligned with the party's organisational efforts. The political buzz around Raje has grown stronger after PM Modi recently praised her contributions during a celebration marking the first anniversary of the Bhajan Lal government. He credited her with advancing the legacy of good governance initiated by Bhairon Singh Shekhawat and highlighted that the current government is building upon the solid foundation she laid. Raje's meeting with PM Modi, along with the praise she received, has led to widespread speculation about her potential return to the national stage - a move that could significantly influence the BJPs strategy in Rajasthan and beyond.
Congress to hold weeklong campaign seeking Amit Shah's resignation for 'insulting' Ambedkar
NEW DELHI: The Congress will hold protest marches against Union Home Minister Amit Shah for insulting BR Ambedkar and observe a weeklong campaign on the issue, party leaders said on Saturday. As part of the Ambedkar Samman Saptah, Congress workers and leaders will hold marches and press conferences to remember the legacy of B R Ambedkar, they said. The Congress and the BJP are at loggerheads over Shah's remarks on Ambedkar during a debate in Parliament. AICC general secretary K C Venugopal said party MPs and leaders will hold press conferences at 150 locations across the country on December 22 and 23 and workers will take out protest marches across the country on December 24. The Congress has also decided to hold a CWC meeting on December 26 in Belagavi, Karnataka to mark 100 years of the 1924 Indian National Congress session, presided over by Mahatma Gandhi. The party will then hold a rally in Belagavi on December 27. Our agitation demanding Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation will continue! We will fight to protect Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar's legacy against the Manusmriti worshippers, Venugopal said in a post on X. The INC will mark the upcoming week as Dr Ambedkar Samman Saptah, he said. On 24 December, all across the country, we will hold Babasaheb Ambedkar Samman Marches and submit a memorandum to the president of India through District Collectors demanding Amit Shah's resignation. All INC workers will garland Babsaheb's statue, hold his giant portrait at the front of the march and carry huge placards with our key demands, the Congress leader said. On 26-27 December, we will hold an extended CWC session and a mega rally in Belagavi where we will reiterate our commitment to Dr.Ambedkar and his ideals. Jai Bhim! Jai Hind! Venugopal said in his post. Our agitation demanding Home Minister Amit Shahs resignation will continue! We will fight to protect Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkars legacy against the Manusmriti worshippers! INC will mark the upcoming week as Dr. Ambedkar Samman Saptah. All INC MPs, Senior Leaders & CWC Members K C Venugopal (@kcvenugopalmp) December 21, 2024 Later addressing a press conference, All India Congress Media and Publicity department head Pawan Khera said, The attack (against Ambedkar) came from none other than the home minister of India, the second most powerful man in this country, Mr.Amit Shah. He is unrepentant.The prime minister is unrepentant. We have demanded his resignation and this demand will be reiterated in these 150 press conferences across the country, Khera said. Criticising their continued defence of Shah's comments, Khera said it is a latant insult to Dr.Ambedkar's legacy. On December 24, he said, in every district headquarter, there will be a Babasaheb Ambedkar Samman march that will be carried out by Congress leaders and workers. Again, we will reiterate our demand, we will give a memorandum through the collector to the President of India and we will be garlanding the statues of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Ji in every district headquarter, he said. He noted that to mark 100 years of Mahatma Gandhi's presidency at the Belagavi Congress Session in 1924, the party will hold an extended CWC meeting on December 26, followed by a large rally on December 27 in Belagavi. Khera emphasised that Mahatma Gandhi ji's leadership transformed the freedom movement by introducing powerful ideas like 'Swaraj' and 'Satyagraha,' which became central to India's independence struggle. Congress demands resignation of Amit Shah over Ambedkar remarks During a debate on the Constitution in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, Shah had said, Abhi ek fashion ho gaya hai - Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. Itna naam agar Bhagwan ka lete to saat janmon tak swarg mil jata (It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. If they had taken God's name so many times, they would have attained heaven for seven lifetimes). On Wednesday, Shah held a press conference in which he accused the Congress of twisting facts and distorting his comments in the Rajya Sabha. Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha witnessed constant protests from treasury benches and opposition members over the alleged insult of Ambedkar until both the houses were adjourned sine die on Friday.

CHENNAI: Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu on Friday put forth the state governments wish list to Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman at a pre-budget meeting chaired by her at Jaisalmer in Rajasthan. He requested the GOI to include many new railway projects, reiterated the demand for relief assistance for Rs 6,675 crore for areas hit by Cyclone Fengal, funds for the Metro Rail project and Samagra Shiksha Abhiyaan. Underscoring the need for new railway lines in industrial areas to catalyse industrial development in the state, Thennarasu requested that the following railway projects in Tamil Nadu should be included in the upcoming budget: Fourth line between Tambaram and Chengalpattu; Tiruppattur Krishnagiri Hosur New line; Madurai Thoothukudi via Aruppukkottai (143.5 Kms); Minjur Tiruvallur Sriperumpudur Oragadam Singaperumalkoil Maduranthagam; semi-high speed railway corridor to connect Chennai Salem Coimbatore with extensions like Salem-Hosur Bengaluru and Coimbatore Ernakulam. Thennarasu also sought approvals for metro rail projects for Madurai and Coimbatore apart from Rs 10,000 crore for metro rail phase-2 in the current year and Rs 16,000 crore in the ensuing year. He also reiterated the states demand for disbursal of Rs 2,152 crore towards Samagra Shiksha Abhiyaan. Referring to the havoc played by Cyclone Fengal, the minister said, The funds under the State Disaster Response Fund are inadequate to meet the immediate relief and long-term restoration needs. So, the GOI should release Rs 6,675 crore under NDRF to meet the temporary and permanent relief and restoration requirements in the aftermath of Cyclone Fengal. He said an elevated road between Tambaram and Chengalpattu (NH-32) and from Chengalpattu to Tindivanam should be included in the budget.

NEW DELHI: For the Mahakumbh at Prayagraj, a culture village, called Kalagram, will be set up on over 10 acres at Daraganj along the banks of the Ganga and it will have demarcated spaces for seven zonal cultural centres (ZCC), officials said. The marked areas are named aangans (courtyards), where the ministry of culture plans to showcase art and crafts from all member states and union territories (UT). Exhibitions on the theme of Kumbha, including an immersive display, food court, and activity areas will also be put up at the venue. The ambience creation of Kalagram will be done by an expert private agency in collaboration with artists of ZCCs and Lalit Kala Akademi. The participating ZCCs are located in Patiala (Punjab), Nagpur (Maharashtra), Udaipur (Rajasthan), Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh), Kolkata (West Bengal), Dimapur (Nagaland), and Thanjavur (Tamil Nadu). According to the officials, diverse art installations, including cultural, educational, and commercial exhibits, are also planned for an engaging visitor experience. Union tourism culture minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat earlier told this newspaper that a cultural extravaganza, showcasing the vibrant and colourful customs, arts and crafts of the states, is planned at Mahakumbh starting January in Prayagraj. After the consultation with the Uttar Pradesh government, the ministry has got prime space allocated close to the main Mahakumbh Mela venue so that more visitors can witness the festivities, Shekhawat said. The authorities have also planned to place an installation on the proposed Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum at the venue. One of the highlights at Kalagram will be a Ganga pandal with capacity of 10,000 audiences by the Mela Authority. This will be the main arena, where celebrity performances will be held everyday. Additionally, three pandals with a space for 4,000 people will be erected at Jhunsi, Nagvasuki and Areil. There will also be another amphitheatre of 1,000 capacity at Kalagram, where Snageet Natak Akademi awardees artists, National School of Drama productions and ZCC ensembles will be organised, an official said. Apart from this, 20 stages will also be built throughout the city. They will be handed over to the UP culture department and the ministry of culture, the official added. Meanwhile, the Indian Railways is gearing up to redefine the Mahakumbh experience with an innovative Gram Tent City initiative in Prayagraj.

7 Bollywood actors who quit at the peak of their career
Vikrant Massey, the 12th Fail actor who was last seen in the film The Sabarmati Report, surprised everyone on the morning of December 2, 2024, when he shared a cryptic post on Instagram. The actor, who began his career with a feature in TV before entering films in 2013, shared a note expressing gratitude to his fans for their support and mentioned that it was time for him to ecalibrate. He also hinted that fans would see him for the last time in 2025, leaving them in shock and confusion. His post has sparked discussions about other Bollywood stars who stepped away from the big screen at the height of their fame for various reasons. Here is a list of famous actors who decided to take a break or quit their film careers in the past. Jaya Bachchan Jaya Bachchan made her debut at the age of 15 in films and was one of the leading female actresses in the 70s. But, after starring in hit movies like Guddi and Abhimaan, she stepped away from films after marrying Amitabh Bachchan in 1973. She embraced motherhood with the birth of her children, Shweta and Abhishek, while continuing to focus on her family until her comeback with Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Maa in 1998. However, she has continued to stay selective about her work. She started featuring in Karan Johar's films in the early 2000s as a mother in Kabhi Khushi Kabi Gham and Kal Ho Na Ho; her last appearance on screen was in the film Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani., which released in 2023. Sridevi Sridevi, Bollywood's first female superstar, starred in more than 300 films across different languages. But she took a 15-year break from films after delivering hits like Chandni and Mr. India. She made the bold move after she married Boney Kapoor in 1996. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Janhvi Kapoor, the next year and another daughter, Khushi, in 2000. She made her comeback in films with English Vinglish in 2012 but remained selective about her work till her death in 2018. She last featured in the film Mom and also had a cameo appearance in SRK's Zero. Anushka Sharma Anushka Sharma made her Bollywood debut in the film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi with SRK at the age of 20. She was at the peak of her career after hits like PK, Sultan, and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil when she got married to cricketer Virat Kohli in 2017 and slowed her pace of doing films. The couple welcomed a daughter in 2021 and a son in 2024. After welcoming her daughter, she shot for a film, Chakda 'Xpress, but its release got delayed, and it hasn't been released yet. She isn't shooting for new films and has become selective about her projects to focus on her family. She appeared in a cameo appearance in the film Qala in 2022 and has only been featured in ads and interviews. Zaira Wasim Zaira Wasim made her debut at the young age of 13, and her performances in Dangal and Secret Superstar earned her widespread appreciation. However, Wasim surprised the industry in 2019 when she announced her decision to quit acting at the age of 18. In her social media post, she explained that she had to step away because her work conflicted with her religious beliefs. Despite her brief career, she carved a special space for herself in the industry. Since leaving Bollywood, she has maintained a private life. She was last seen in the film The Sky Is Pink and was loved for her performance in the film. Imran Khan Imran Khan, the nephew of Aamir Khan, made a successful debut in 2008 with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. He soon became popular in the industry with his charm and diverse roles. He starred in popular films like Delhi Belly, I Hate Luv Storys, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, etc. However, he stopped working on films in 2015 after a string of flops. He stepped away from the limelight, but recently, he gave interviews and hinted at a possible comeback in the industry. He was seen talking about his mental health journey in an interview with his niece, aka Aamir Khan's daughter. Shah Rukh Khan Shah Rukh Khan, the King Khan of Bollywood, has defined a generation with his popular films, from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to Veer Zaara and Om Shanti Om, among several others. But, after an underwhelming response to his film Zero in 2018, he took a break to introspect and rethink his choice of films. He continued to focus on his family and produced films under Red Chillies Entertainment. The superstar made a much-awaited comeback in 2023 with Pathaan and has continued to work in more successful films after that. He went through a personal turmoil during 2022 with his son's controversy and came back with a bang with Pathaan and Jawan, both doing box office wonders for him. He was seen hosting IIFA alongside Vicky Kaushal. Aamir Khan Aamir Khan, Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood, slowed down his pace of doing films in the 2000s. He has taken several breaks in his career, but after the lukewarm response to his amicus project, Laal Singh Chaddha, he decided to take another long break. In his recent interviews, he shared he had decided to quit films to give time to his family, but they made him think otherwise. He will next be seen in the movie Sitaare Zameen Par, starring Darsheel Safary and Genelia Deshmukh in crucial roles. He has been promoting Laapata Ladies as a producer of the film alongside Kiran Rao, the director of the film; the film has also been nominated for Oscars this year.
Starbucks India: Brewing connections, one social media post at a time
Starbucks, the American coffee maker, was initially a household name in the US in the early 2000s. Inspired by its success, the brand sought to extend its reach internationally, with the Indian market being one of its key targets. However, its first attempt to enter India in 2007 faltered. Undeterred, Starbucks re-entered the market in 2012 with a more strategic approach, forming a 50:50 joint venture with Tata Consumer Products, aptly named Tata Starbucks. Ratan Tata inaugurates Indias first Starbucks at Horniman Circle, Mumbai (2012). This partnership proved to be successful, allowing premium coffee to find its place in India. Over the years, Starbucks India has seen impressive growth, with reports indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 20% between FY17 and FY23. This article delves into Starbucks India's social media presence, analysing its digital engagement strategies, content approach, and overall influence in the competitive landscape of social media marketing. Starbucks in numbers As of December 2024, Starbucks India maintains a robust social media presence across major platforms. On Instagram , the brand has garnered 492,000 followers with 3,163 posts, showcasing a vibrant array of content that highlights seasonal beverages, store events, and collaborations. On X (formerly Twitter), the handle has amassed a following of more than 170,000 by sharing updates, responding to customer queries, and participating in trending conversations. Similarly, on Facebook , the official page has 1 million followers, featuring regular posts about promotions, new product launches, and community engagement initiatives. Although the YouTube page of the brand does not have the similar numbers like it does on Instgram, Facebook and X, it has managed to collect 1,750 subscribers and the account is mostly used to post capaigns and shorts. Reaching people online When Starbucks entered India, a predominantly tea-drinking nation, it faced the challenge of introducing coffee to a market with deeply ingrained tea preferences. To address this, the company partnered with Tata Consumer Products, leveraging Tata's understanding of Indian consumer behaviours and habits. Central to the brands' strategy, was the 'third place' concept, creating a welcoming space beyond home and work. Starbuck India on Instagram By offering an inviting ambience, free Wi-Fi, and friendly baristas, Starbucks positioned its cafes as comfortable environments for customers to socialise, work, or relax. Recognising India's diverse palate, Starbucks introduced localised menu items such as masala chai, elaichi chai, and regional favourites like the Rayalaseema Mutton Bun and Kosha Mangsho Wrap and the company has actively used its social media channels to promote everything it does, whether it be showing the 'cosy' shops or drinks, food or dessert. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Starbucks India (@starbucksindia) When Starbucks India first joined Instagram, the social media platform offered limited features, primarily centred around applying multiple filters to images. This initial post, though modest by today's standards, marked the brand's entry into the digital space. It did not feel like a corporate company posting; rather, the posts felt personal, as they were low-key and almost looked personal. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Starbucks India (@starbucksindia) Over time, Starbucks India has adeptly adapted to Instagram's evolving capabilities, consistently aligning its content with the platform's trends and user preferences. This strategic approach has enabled the brand to maintain engagement and relevance among its audience. Starbucks India's handle on X (formerly Twitter) serves as a dynamic platform for engaging with its audience. The brand actively shares updates on promotions, events, and new product launches, such as the announcement of the #StarbucksCoffeeFestival, which featured daily coffee offerings and special activities. Starbuck India X Additionally, Starbucks India uses its X account to address customer inquiries, share behind-the-scenes content, and highlight community initiatives, fostering a sense of connection with its followers. From a content perspective, the coffee brand also posts catchy one-liners, effectively engaging users with short, impactful messages. Through these activities, Starbucks India enhances brand visibility, interacts with customers, and promotes its offerings on the platform. The brand's India Facebook account serves as a platform for engaging with its audience by sharing a mix of promotional content, seasonal offerings, and community-driven initiatives. The brand leverages Facebook to highlight special events, new product launches, and exclusive offers, often accompanied by visually appealing posts that resonate with local audiences. Starbucks India on Facebook Additionally, Starbucks India uses the platform to showcase collaborations, celebrations of local festivals, and CSR activities, strengthening its connection with customers. Through interactive posts, contests, and user engagement, the brand maintains an active presence and fosters a sense of community among its followers on Facebook. Starbucks India's YouTube channel acts as a key platform for audience engagement, featuring a variety of content that connects the brand with its followers from campaigns to YouTube Shorts. While the subscriber count remains relatively modest, the channel regularly showcases promotional videos that highlight new product launches, festive season offerings, and key brand campaigns. Notably, it also includes special seasonal content, such as Diwali-themed promotions and limited-edition merchandise collaborations with designers like Manish Malhotra. Through these diverse content initiatives, Starbucks India's YouTube channel provides valuable insights into the brand's offerings, seasonal initiatives, and Festivals Starbucks India leverages major festivals, such as Diwali and Christmas, to engage customers by offering festive-themed beverages, treats, and store decorations that resonate with local traditions. For instance, during Diwali, Starbucks introduces limited-edition items like saffron and pistachio-flavored beverages, along with festive desserts such as Gulab Jamun Trifle and Khubani Barfi bar, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that mirrors the spirit of Indian homes during the festival. Instagram Starbucks India (@starbucksindia) To amplify these offerings, Starbucks India actively promotes them on its social media platforms. The brand shares visually appealing content showcasing festive menu items, store decorations, and behind-the-scenes preparations, inviting customers to experience the celebrations at Starbucks. This approach not only highlights the seasonal offerings but also fosters a sense of community and belonging among customers, reinforcing Starbucks as a 'third place' where people can come together and celebrate. By integrating local flavours and traditions into its products and leveraging social media to share these experiences, Starbucks India effectively engages with its audience, enhancing brand loyalty and customer satisfaction. Starbucks Diwali post Starbucks Christmas post User Generated Content Starbucks India actively engages its audience by encouraging customers to share their experiences on social media platforms. The brand often features user-generated content (UGC) on its official channels, showcasing customer photos and stories that highlight their personal connections with Starbucks products and experiences. This approach not only fosters a sense of community but also amplifies authentic brand advocacy, as customers feel valued and recognised for their contributions. By leveraging UGC, the brand enhances its digital presence and strengthens customer loyalty.

It has also collaborated with actors like Riteish Deshmukh, Gnelia Deshmukh, Radhika Madan and also Chef Sanjeev Kapoor.

Zostels Pranavi Chhikniwala on tapping travel trends to inspire Gen Z & Millennials
In a world where social media scrolls are filled with wanderlust-inducing content, Gen Z and Millennials are constantly inspired to pack their bags and set off on new adventures. Travel trends are thriving, with a recent report highlighting how certain destinations like Mussoorie, Vietnam, Thailand, and occasionally offbeat destinations have captured the imagination of the younger generation. Travel trends show a 35% rise in bookings for unique destinations, with over 60% of travellers preferring peaceful landscapes, cultural experiences and adventure. For the travel industry, selling popular destinations is relatively easy. But the real challenge lies in highlighting what lesser-known, obscure locations can offer eager travellers. Enter Zostel, a hostel chain that has carved a niche by establishing unconventional locations and amplifying its allure through its storytelling. Pranavi Chhikniwala, Head of Marketing, Zostel, in an interaction, shares how social media trends find their way into the content the brand creates, and the focus is always on being informative and engaging. Zostel has consistently tapped into emerging trends that shape travel choices. One of the ways the brand spotlights lesser-known locations is using a series known as 'Top 50'. The campaign highlights the top 50 experiences across India, going beyond Zostel's properties. The result? Posts that often garner up to one to two million views, sparking curiosity and wanderlust among its audience. However, its not always smooth sailing. For the brand, certain niche campaigns sometimes go viral, but others dont perform as well, according to Chhikniwala, revealing the unpredictable nature of organic content marketing. While Zostel has a strong presence on Instagram with 859K followers, other channels have also emerged as effective tools in building its community. Chhikniwala shares that YouTube has been rewarding given its algorithm gives reach based on your SEO metrics and consistent presence, unlike Instagram. She comments that any marketer looking to tap into a Gen Z or Millennial audience should consider YouTube as a way to build a community. In this interview, Chhikniwala reveals how the brand is leveraging social media trends, its organic-first marketing strategy, and the lesser-known platforms that drive community growth. Edited Excerpts: What trends have you noticed among young Indian travellers that have influenced your marketing and advertising strategies? If we talk about trends in travel, its important to note that, apart from all the memes and funny stuff that circulate on social media, travel and food are usually at the top of everyones list. Even the brands that are doing well tend to fall into these categories. For me, the brand's journey has been shaped by these trends. After COVID, there was a whole revenge travel phenomenon, and travel content started going viral in 2021 and 2022. Those years were key for us, even though they werent particularly favourable for many brands. Despite that, we saw significant growth and social presence, and a lot of it can be attributed to that period. Travel has been a steady trend since then. If I talk about it in general, even our content and the things we talk about have been influenced by it. This trend has also impacted the kinds of products we've launched. For example, Zostel has always been known for establishing locations that arent conventional. We often enter places and, soon after, those places see a boost in tourism. This has happened with locations like Bir and Wagaman, which werent very popular initially, but after we set up, they became proper tourist destinations. Weve always tried to tap into emerging trends. For example, there was a shift toward experiential travel, where younger generations like Gen Z and millennials are looking to go beyond popular destinations like temples or sightseeing spots in Manali or Goa. Theyre interested in hiking, waterfall diving, and activities like surfing. Experiential travel has become a key trend, and its something we've embraced. Another trend weve seen is the rise of Southeast Asia as a travel destination. Places like Vietnam and Thailand were trending on social media last year. We also introduced Zotrux, a new travel offering where we take exclusive groups of 10 to 15 people on fully packaged tours with lots of inclusions. Our Vietnam and Thailand trips are selling really well right now. Because these trends also find their way into social media, the kind of content we produce tends to be informative. Unlike many other brands, this approach works for us. We focus on content that establishes us as industry expertssuch as informative reels or posts that highlight lesser-known parts of the country or unique seasonal phenomena. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zostel (@zostel) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zostel (@zostel) When it comes to social media, our target audience is a blend of Gen Z and millennials. Its sometimes a hit or miss, as it is for most brands, but what works for us is striking a balance between creating content that establishes us as experts and tapping into trending topics. For example, we use popular seasonal content, trending audio, and whatever is currently relevant in India to engage with the Gen Z audience. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zostel (@zostel) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zostel (@zostel) What specific challenges have you encountered when adapting your marketing strategies to align with the influential role of Gen Z and Millenials in travel planning? Can you provide examples of campaigns that have succeeded or failed in capturing their attention? Some destinations are really favourites among travellers. For example, if we promote places like Bokarna or Mussoorie, it's very likely to go viral. However, when it comes to lesser-known destinations, especially obscure ones, we have to get really creative, or people just won't notice them. What works for us is a series we are currently running on Instagram, which is also performing well on YouTube Shorts. Its called Top 50, where we highlight the top 50 experiences anyone should have across India. This approach doesnt depend on whether Zostel has a presence in those destinations; its about showcasing the destination experience first, rather than focusing on our properties. When we do these Top 50 posts, they often cross one or two million views. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zostel (@zostel) As for content that hasnt worked, we focus primarily on organic content marketing, rather than paid promotions. While we do paid promotions when necessary, we mostly rely on organic content. When we run niche campaigns, they can go either waysome content pieces go viral, while others dont perform well. For example, during Children's Day in mid-2024, we launched a back-to-school campaign. This was aimed at our millennial audience, as nostalgic content resonates well with them. Its similar to how Paper Boat's entire strategy revolves around nostalgia, but we don't necessarily draw inspiration directly from them. We create nostalgic content, especially on Zostel Homes, another page we run on Instagram. However, when we do very niche campaigns, they are more likely to fall flat. The reason is that we don't always use trending audio or follow the current Instagram trends when running these campaigns. The general strategy would be to stick to whatever is trending, as thats what performs well. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zostel (@zostel) But as a brand manager, I also have to ensure we stay true to what we stand for and maintain our identity through our content. So, we continue with these types of campaigns. For example, we launched T-shirts as part of our 10-year anniversary merchandise, and again for our 11-year anniversary this August. We try to be creative with the videos we make, but weve noticed that while such campaigns may perform well with creators, they dont necessarily go viral with our audience. Since we're not focused on the e-commerce side of things, such as selling T-shirts, that campaign didnt go viral as expected. Despite that, our sales remained unaffected, and people still bought our products. So, it can be a bit overwhelming at times, but I think its all part of the process. With reports indicating that Indian Gen Z and Millenn ials prefer travelling during off-peak seasons to save on costs and avoid crowds, how does Zostel position itself while catering to budget-conscious young travellers? I think more than the off-season, the shoulder season is what these travellers prefer. It's typically the period between the off-peak and peak season. Naturally, during this time, the dorm rates, experience costs, and even taxi fares are lower, which is beneficial for them. We are present in 85-90 locations across India, and the list is constantly growing. We dont specifically take extra measures to target certain seasons. However, for a few weeks every year, we offer long-stay discounts and packages, particularly for digital nomads who are working remotely or in a hybrid setup. They can benefit from discounts if they stay for three, five, seven, or even 15 days. This is usually part of our promotional activities for our mountain properties, which make up about 50% of our locations, particularly in Himachal and Uttarakhand. During peak season, though, things change, and we sell out a month or so in advance. Instagram seems to be a key platform for Zostel. How do you approach content curation to engage and grow your community? Apart from Instagram, what are the most effective marketing channels that you use to engage with Gen Z and Millennial travellers? Could you share examples of the kind of content that works on each channel? YouTube is really rewarding. Personally, I feel that YouTube is a more rewarding platform compared to Instagram. On Instagram, if you show consistency with the algorithm, it may or may not help you. With YouTube, we know for sure that if you're doing SEO correctly and posting consistently about relevant topics, you're far more likely to grow on the platform. For any marketer looking to tap into a Gen Z or Millennial audience, I definitely recommend YouTube. We also do newsletters, and we have an excellent email open rate and click-through rate. I think its because of the passion people have for the brand. When I first started with newsletter marketing, I didnt think it would be very successful because people often see it as an outdated channel, especially for a brand like Zostel. But it has given us surprising results. If we talk about social media or digital channels, these are the platforms we focus on: YouTube, Instagram, and newsletters. On newsletters, we try to do a mix of everything. For example, if theres something trending, like Diwali, we create content around it, but with a more wholesome approach compared to what we do on Instagram or YouTube. If its a two-minute read, it should be worthwhile and bring a smile to your face. Its not really important for us to sell our properties or talk about things in a forced way. Even though we dont use it primarily as a sales marketing platform, newsletters are excellent for community engagement. The audience cant respond directly like on YouTube or Instagram, where people comment or DM us, but the engagement we get is still very high. I can attribute this to excellent copywriting. We dont use any fancy tools for images; its a very basic newsletter. But the kind of response weve received has kept us going. I think when you try to talk to your audience in an authentic way, it really helps. My team is also part of the customer base, so when they write directly to the audience, it makes a difference. Would it be possible to share the numbers that you all are able to achieve through your newsletters and Instagram? For newsletters, we are growing our subscriber base. Its something that we started primarily this year. We have approximately 50K subscribers as of now. Considering that we only started this year and we are not doing anything unethical, like spamming people with newsletters they havent subscribed to, thats the situation. On Instagram, we have around 50K followers, and our reach is usually 20 to 30 times more than our community size. Organically, our monthly reach is anywhere between 27 million to 35 million, depending on how viral the content is. Given the traction that you have had, could you share any specific challenges that you all have had to navigate through while adapting your marketing strategies over these years? A very refined, detailed analysis goes into understanding what's working because the algorithms of these platforms keep changing. I'm mainly talking about social media, as content marketing is our primary way of building the community and reaching people. The challenge is doing your homework every day. If I go idle for even one week and let things run as they are, it's very likely that the content will stop performing because new trends have emerged. For example, there was a time when voiceover reels were working really well for us, where we would use some audio stimulus to guide the contentwhether funny, informative, or otherwise. It worked like crazy for two, three, even six months. Then suddenly, it stopped working. We had invested in all the gear, talent, and resources for this approach, and then Instagram changed its algorithm, demanding something different. This happens frequently, and its part of the jobthings will keep changing, and we have to stay updated with the trends. The challenge is that it can be demotivating when the numbers drop, especially after a month of hard work. But thats the reality we face. What innovative technologies have you integrated into your marketing approach to effectively engage young travellers? There have been significant upgrades in terms of the tools we use ever since AI became prominent. There are many amazing tools that help us with engagement, ORM, and even other areas. Apart from strategy, we use AI for almost everything else. Strategy is still something that we hold very close to our hearts; we don't want a robot to strategize or plan campaigns for us. Thats a big nostrategy comes from real, new ideas developed by the whole team. For example, in execution, we create mid-journey content, which is very experimental and usually works really well. To give you an example, we've posted something random like Zostel in different multiverses, imagining Zostel on an arid planet, or similar fun concepts. These kinds of experiments have worked for us. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zostel (@zostel) In terms of other technologies, we use automation tools, not for everyday tasks like handling DMs, but to assist with sales-focused content, such as when we are promoting trips or selling properties. There are tools that allow users to comment a word and receive the details directly in their DMs. Its a trend on Instagram right now, but weve been doing this for more than a year. Weve always been a tech-friendly company, and that is also part of the company ethos, as our founder is a big tech enthusiast. We are also looking at more AI integration moving forward, not just in marketing but across the board. Theres a major upgrade coming for our app, and were striving to become a more tech-first brand as we go forward. Can you share insights into Zostel's revenue performance last financial year and the projected growth for this year? As the hostel and travel industry grows, what does the brand's global expansion plan look like? As of now, we are experiencing a 50% year-on-year growth. While I cant share exact revenue figures, the growth has been steady for us. In terms of inventory and the number of destinations we're present in, it's consistently growing. November and December have been our best months, and the growth trend has been excellent. Looking ahead, I can say that we're expecting to continue this growth trajectory. For the upcoming year, youll see us expand into more international destinations. We're already present in Nepal and have some other destinations covered through our trips. Well also be launching properties in these international locations, so you'll see progress on that front as well.
