Praggnanandhaa R. picked up exactly from where he had left off in Norway! He scored 8.5/11 to win the individual gold medal on board 1 at the FIDE World Rapid Team Championships 2026. The Indian GM managed to beat Alireza Firouzja, Shant Sargsyan, Vladislav Artemiev, Hans Niemann, Arjun Erigaisi and Aydin Suleymanli. What an incredible performance. Pragg only lost 1 game at this event - that was in round 1 against Bilguun Sumiya. Apart from that he was almost flawless. Although Chess Gurukul, finished 5th and couldn't win a medal, Pragg's power packed performance is definitely something for the entire team to rejoice!

If a single pilgrim is attacked during Amarnath Yatra, I promise you this: that I will ensure not a single pilgrim flies off for Haj. - Balasaheb Thackeray, 1993.
Gurugram-based Vivek Agarwal and seven of his family members were staying at Hotel Flourish Stays because Vivek's father was undergoing treatment in the ICU at the nearby Max Hospital.
All eight died. Entire family wiped out!
And now the ritual begins, ₹4 lakh compensation, an inquiry, promises of strict action. None of it matters now.
These were not accidental deaths. They were preventable deaths caused by greed, negligence, and a complete collapse of accountability. If the hotel owners had even a shred of conscience, if the officials responsible for inspections and enforcement had done their jobs honestly instead of looking the other way, this family might still be alive.
12 years ago Peta held a rally in India asking Muslims to turn Vegan at Eid. Their activists were thrashed so badly they might have been lynched had cops not intervened. Peta never held a rally on Eid ever again.
All the sermonising is reserved exclusively for Hindu festivals.
Scary how meticulously planned this operation was. 10 gym owners, including gang leaders Imran and Khaliluddin, befriended 50 Hindu women visiting gyms, recorded videos, blackmailed them, forced them to convert, then sexually exploited them.
They are calling this Gym Jihad.
Saw a patient today with a hemoglobin of 1.9 g/dL. For context, a level that low is almost incompatible with normal consciousness, but she walked right into the clinic on her own feet.
For three long years, she lived with crushing weakness and since last 6 months breathlessness from just walking across a room. Why didn’t she get help sooner? At first, it was because the kids had crucial school exams and later her husband was reluctant to deal with the hassle of a hospital admission.
Her health was treated as a background inconvenience.
When we dug deeper, it got worse. A year ago, her Hb was 6.4 g/dL. A doctor explicitly told them she needed immediate admission. The family refused, walked out with a basic strip of iron tablets, she took them for two weeks, forgot about them, and nobody in the house ever bothered to check on her or remind her.
She didn't even come to the hospital today because of the air hunger. She came because her periods had completely stopped for months. Her body was so profoundly starved of iron and oxygen that it literally shut down her reproductive axis just to divert what little blood she had left to her heart and brain.
It’s completely heartbreaking. A woman will literally bleed her body dry, gasp for air for years and keep working silently, only to be brought to a doctor when her normal functioning stops.
Please check on the women in your homes. Stop letting them normalize chronic exhaustion.
I donated around 60 litres of breast milk to the government hospital in Hyderabad and Chennai during my first year of post partum!!
Why does it matter? Just 100ml of donor milk can feed a tiny 1kg baby for several days. This donation could potentially support dozens of infants in the NICU. Donating is safe, screened, and desperately needed. Many NICU babies don't have immediate access to their mother's own milk due to medical complications. Donor milk acts as a vital bridge, providing immunity and nutrition during those critical first days.
It serves as a bridge for mothers whose milk may be delayed due to stress, illness,malnutrition or premature birth.
Donor human milk is proven to significantly reduce the incidence of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (a life-threatening gut condition) in premature infants!!!
Check your local govt hospital to see how you can help! #MilkBank #SavingLives #MaternalHealth
