Saw one scene of #Anupamaa
I swear what a depressing serial it has become??

Ppl watch dramas for entertainment but it will surely ruin your mood…Like old grandma working as cook at people’s place and grandpa selling aggarbattis on road!
Sad song showing depressed state..no one is happy.

Wtf! Where are there kids? And how is that these guys warn and become rich and then in another moment become so poor that that one has to sell aggarbattis on road?

Lead is always crying every now and then or saying Sorry sorry..full bechari.

By god mood hi kharab ho gya dekhte hi.

#RupaliGanguly why are you still in this crap show??

[Merin Joji @MerinJoji]

Agree stop this Indian serial that intoxicates families!! #StopAnupama

[Shipra 🇮🇳 @siddhishipra]

@swetamona14 Thus serial is so predictable that even after a month of gap you will be watching the same thing with no change. This anupama character insane and most idiotic. Please stop this. Series now.

At 75—an age when most people choose to rest at home—N.S. Rajappan has taken on a responsibility bigger than himself.

For nearly 10 years, he has been cleaning plastic waste from Kerala's Vembanad Lake.

He was just 5 years old when he got polio. Everything below his knees is paralysed, so he cannot walk. Yet his grit is stronger than most able-bodied people around him.

He rents a small boat and rows it with the help of a single paddle. Every day, he collects plastic thrown into the lake.

"They pay ₹12 for every kilo of plastic I clean,” he says.

It’s barely enough to survive, but at least it lets him keep the lake clean.

Rajappan lives in a tiny house near his sister’s home. She cooks food for him, but apart from meals, he depends on no one. He does all his other chores by himself and earns his own livelihood.

In the 2018 floods, Rajappan’s house was completely destroyed. Yet he refused to ask anyone for help. He lived in his boat for several weeks.

Is this how one shows love for the country? Maybe this is the way.

Repeated suicide by research scholar at @iiserkol yet higher authorities remain silent. A huge disappointment for India’s research community—while some in power enjoy their chairs, ignoring scholars’ struggles @the_hindu @timesofindia @dhruv_rathee @DrJitendraSingh @dpradhanbjp

Using 3D GM, we uncovered striking shifts in wolf skull shape after 20th-century population collapse in Fennoscandia. Genetics, prey, and human impact—engraved in bones. @UniOulu @WildlifeGenUoO #Morphology #Wolves https://t.co/pgdACRUK2g

🚨 Documents of the ₹81,000cr Great Nicobar project fail to acknowledge existence of tribal villages and hunting and foraging grounds. A big reason: there has never been a systematic government effort to map tribal areas in these rainforests #GroundReport https://t.co/FdC54FzmVa

@abhiandniyu @elonmusk You cannot do anything Abhi the western world knows by how Nazis call them as Swastika and they know it comes from India, but are unaware its a goodwill symbol. Obviously people drew them on cars referring to Nazi behaviour.
