NASA's Artemis II mission has left Earth's orbit
The Integrity, the name of the Orion capsule carrying Artemis II astronauts on a trip around the moon, has left Earths orbit . NASA has announced that it has successfully completed a key burn of Orions main engine. That six-minute firing of the engine provided approximately 6,000 pounds of thrust, which gave the spacecraft the acceleration it needed to set it on its path to the moon. Today, for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972, humans have departed Earth orbit, said Dr. Lori Glaze from NASA Headquarters in Washington. Orion is operating with crew for the first time in space, and we are gathering critical data, and learning from each step. Commander Reid Wiseman called seeing the entire globe from pole to pole after leaving Earths orbit a spectacular moment. Artemis II launched on April 1 at 6:35PM Eastern time after a couple of delays caused by a hydrogen leak and then a helium issue . Its the first crewed flight of the Artemis program and the first time humanity has ventured beyond Low Earth Orbit after the Apollo program shut down. Within a few hours after its launch, the astronauts reported an issue with their onboard toilet, which crew member Christina Koch eventually fixed. Commander Wiseman then reported to mission control that they were having problems with Microsoft Outlook on the Surface Pro device they were using. But they were ultimately manageable setbacks that wouldnt prevent the crew from achieving the missions goal. The mission is taking NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, as well as Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, on a 10-day trip around the moon. On April 6, the spacecraft will pass by the far side of the moon that humans have never directly seen before, and the crew will take photographs, as well as provide their own observations of the lunar surface.

Jitesh continues to be an integral part of the RCB. Not just with the bat has he been impressive in the last season, but his heroics with the gloves have been equally brilliant. This is not a one-year thing. We are here to dominate. I want to prove that what happened last season was not a one-off. Winning the first trophy for RCB was a magical feeling. The biggest satisfaction was knowing that I had contributed to it. That is a moment I will always be proud of, Jitesh said on the RCB Podcast. On his crucial 24 off 10 in the 2025 final, Jitesh said his focus was on making a decisive impact. My only thought in the final was to make a difference. I did not want to just survive the situation; I wanted to shift the game. The last over of the final felt like the longest six balls of my life. We wanted that moment so badly, he said. On the loss of his father, Jitesh said it is something he continues to carry with him. When you lose your father, that void never really goes away. I am not trying to forget it. I want to carry that emotion with me and keep moving forward. He also spoke about what it meant that his father had seen him represent India and lift the trophy for RCB.

On returning to the RCB setup after a difficult phase, Jitesh said the environment helped him reset. When I walked back into Chinnaswamy and saw the red and blue again, I felt reborn. Being back in that environment made me feel like myself again. He also credited Dinesh Karthik for helping shape his growth over the past year. A lot of the credit for my growth goes to DK 'anna'. He helped me understand my game better, use my strengths properly and improve mentally. DK asked me to take a break, put the bat away for a while and spend time with my family and friends. That helped me reset. Speaking about his batting approach, Jitesh said he has simplified everything to one core thought. For me, it comes down to one thing: watch the ball. If you are present and watching the ball well, everything else takes care of itself. Speaking about his role as a cricketer, Jitesh said he now sees himself in broader terms. I do not see myself only as a wicketkeeper now. I see myself as a finisher and a fielder as well. My job is to find a way into the team, whatever role that requires. On missing out on India selection, he said the larger ambition remains unchanged. Playing for India is still the ultimate goal. I felt I did my part, so I have no regrets. Now it is about staying ready and finding the next opportunity. On missing out on India selection, he said the larger ambition remains unchanged. Also Read: Live Cricket Score With RCB entering the new season as defending champions, Jitesh said he is ready for the challenge ahead. Teams will come harder at us this season, and that excites me.

Bajaj Finance Extends Personal Loan Tenure up to 108 Months, Easing Repayment Burden
Bajaj Finance has enhanced its personal loan offering by introducing an extended repayment tenure of up to 108 months (9 years). This move is designed to give customers greater flexibility in managing their finances. With longer tenures, borrowers can opt for lower monthly instalments that align better with their budget. Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan personal loan from Bajaj Finance is designed to help people manage both planned and urgent expenses. Whether it is a medical emergency, a family wedding, travel plans, or home repairs, customers can access funds quickly without pledging any collateral. The company continues to focus on providing reliable financial support through simple processes. Flexible loan amount and extended repayment tenure The newly introduced 108-month repayment tenure is a key enhancement in the Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan. The repayment tenure has been extended from 96 months (8 years) to 108 months (9 years), giving customers more time to repay their loan and helping reduce the monthly EMI burden. This can be especially useful for borrowers who want to manage large expenses without putting pressure on their monthly cash flow. By offering a longer repayment window, Bajaj Finance allows customers to choose a tenure that fits their financial comfort. Those who prefer smaller instalments over a longer period now have more control over how they plan their repayment journey. At the same time, customers who wish to repay faster and potentially reduce their overall interest cost may continue to choose shorter tenures based on their needs, within the range of 12 months to 108 months. Bajaj Finance offers a wide range of loan amounts to meet different financial needs. Customers can choose a loan amount starting from Rs. 40,000 up to Rs. 55 lakh. This flexibility allows individuals to borrow only what they need. Quick approval and fast disbursal Speed is an important factor when dealing with financial needs. Bajaj Finance focuses on providing quick approval for eligible applicants. The application process is simple and can often be completed online. Once approved, funds are typically disbursed within 24 hours*. This quick access to money can be helpful during emergencies or urgent situations. Customers do not have to wait for long processing times or complicated paperwork. A fast and efficient process ensures that borrowers can focus on solving their financial needs without unnecessary delays. Competitive interest rates Bajaj Finance offers competitive interest rates on personal loans, helping customers manage borrowing costs effectively. Customers are informed about the applicable personal loan interest rate before they apply. This helps them plan their monthly budget with confidence. The interest rate typically ranges from 10% to 30% per annum, depending on factors such as income, repayment history, and credit profile. Competitive interest rate allows customers to choose a loan structure that fits their financial goals while keeping repayments comfortable over the selected tenure. Collateral-free loan with minimal documentation Another advantage of choosing a personal loan from Bajaj Finance is that it is a collateral-free loan. Customers do not need to provide property, gold, or any other asset as security. This reduces stress and makes the borrowing process more accessible. The documentation requirements are also simple. In most cases, customers need to submit basic identity, address, and income details. Minimal paperwork helps speed up approval and makes the process convenient for working professionals, self-employed individuals, and small business owners. This straightforward approach allows borrowers to apply with confidence and receive funds without complicated formalities. Real-life use cases for a personal loan A personal loan can support many types of financial needs. Some common situations where customers use these funds include: Medical emergencies : Covering hospital bills, treatment costs, or urgent care expenses Travel plans : Funding family holidays, pilgrimage trips, or international travel Weddings : Managing venue bookings, decorations, and other celebration expenses Education : Paying tuition fees, buying study materials, or enrolling in professional courses Home improvement : Repairing furniture, renovating rooms, or upgrading household appliances These real-life uses show how a personal loan can provide financial support during important life events. Having access to funds at the right time can reduce stress and help families focus on their priorities. While borrowing can be helpful, responsible financial planning is equally important. Bajaj Finance encourages customers to assess their income and expenses before applying for a personal loan. Choosing the right loan amount and tenure can prevent financial pressure in the future. Simple tools such as EMI calculators and repayment schedules can help borrowers understand their commitments clearly before taking a loan. The introduction of extending repayment tenure up to 108 months highlights Bajaj Finance’s continued focus on customer convenience and responsible lending. With flexible loan amounts, minimal paperwork, and fast disbursal, the company remains committed to providing reliable financial solutions that support customers at every stage of life. Customers looking for funds for planned or urgent expenses can explore a personal loan from Bajaj Finance and benefit from a repayment structure designed for greater financial comfort.

Mangalore's Youth Answer the Call 2,644 Sign Up to Save Lives
Amid growing awareness around stem cell donation among young Indians, DKMS Foundation India registered 2,644 potential student stem cell donors across eight colleges in Mangalore within just one week, marking the organisation’s highest-ever donor registration drive at a single location over such a short period. Students across Mangalore colleges join DKMS Foundation India’s awareness drive, stepping forward to register as potential stem cell donors during the initiative The initiative, conducted in collaboration with leading institutions in the Dakshin Kannada region such as Srinivasa University, St. Joseph’s Engineering College, Canara Engineering College, Mangala Group of Institutions, Vijaya College, Alva’s Group of Institutions, Karavali College of Pharmacy, and Dr. P. Dayananda Pai – P. Satisha Pai Government First Grade College, saw strong participation from students, faculty, and volunteers, highlighting growing awareness around stem cell donation and its life-saving potential for patients with blood cancers and disorders such as thalassemia, and aplastic anemia. Students, faculty, and volunteers at St. Joseph’s Engineering College, Mangalore, participate in the DKMS Foundation India drive with record stem cell donor registrations " Every new donor who joins the registry represents hope for a patient waiting for a match. But this drive means more than numbers. A stem cell match is determined by genetic markers — and those markers vary with ancestry and ethnicity. When we register donors from a community as vibrant and diverse as Mangalore, we are not just adding to a list; we are expanding the circle of hope for patients whose genetic profile may only match with someone from this very region. Diversity in our registry is not a goal — it is a matter of life and death for patients who have no other option ,” says Patrick Paul, Executive Chairman, DKMS India . Students, faculty, and volunteers across leading colleges in Mangalore came together for DKMS Foundation India's week-long stem cell awareness drive Ms. Prathibha K N, Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematics and NSS Coordinator, St. Joseph’s Engineering College, Mangalore , said, “ The DKMS awareness sessions, conducted as part of our NSS activity, were highly informative and impactful, clearly explaining how stem cell donation can save the lives of patients battling diseases such as leukemia. The sessions also helped address common misconceptions, and we saw genuine curiosity among students translate into action, with many stepping forward to register. Having registered myself as a donor last year, I deeply value the importance of such initiatives. More than the numbers, this drive helped build empathy and a lasting sense of social responsibility among young people .” In India, one person is diagnosed with a blood cancer or blood disorder every five minutes, and nearly 70% of patients requiring a stem cell transplant depend on unrelated donors. Yet, with only 0.09% of the eligible population currently registered as stem cell donors, large-scale youth-led drives such as this remain critical to bridging the country’s donor gap. With over 2,50,000 registered donors in India and over 250 lives already impacted through stem cell donations, DKMS Foundation India continues to strengthen the country’s donor pool, with sustained student-led participation playing a critical role in improving match possibilities for patients from diverse genetic backgrounds. www.dkms-india.org/register-now .
