Six generations, 83 members : Nagappa family in Andhra Pradesh keeps the joint family legacy alive.
The Nagappas have lived together as a single joint family for generations.
Though spread across four adjoining houses, the family functions as one household - sharing meals, income and responsibilities.
But with numbers come challenges - different opinions, generations and perspectives.
But as a family elder says, all disagreements are resolved before the day ends.
As joint families become increasingly rare, the Nagappa family stands as a living example of shared dreams, hoping the younger generation will carry the tradition forward.

In a major crackdown on food adulteration, the Mumbai Crime Branch has busted a racket in Dahisar East where branded milk packets were allegedly tampered with by mixing contaminated water before being resealed and sold to unsuspecting consumers. One person has been arrested, while 470 litres of adulterated milk and other incriminating material were seized during the operation.
Story of Amaira, a 9-year-old girl who was bullied at school by her classmates.

She jumped off the school building and lost her life 💔
1. As controversy over Diljit Dosanjh-starrer ‘Satluj’ escalates, #CutTheClutter traces the story of Jaswant Singh Khalra, the activist kidnapped and murdered by cops. The episode also tells the story of the bloodiest years in Punjab & the state’s fight against terror.
2. Khalra was kidnapped on 5-6 September 1995. At that time, he was running a campaign to collect municipal cremation records of unidentified bodies, trying to establish patterns of illegal killings & secret cremations. The data was collected from municipal crematoria in Amritsar, Majitha & Tarn Taran.
3. The number they added up was 2,059 such cremations. This was multiplied by the number of prominent crematoria in the state & the number arrived at was 25,000. NHRC was finally given a list of 2,097, & they could establish that 109 of these had died in police custody.
4. Now, where had this situation arisen from, because nothing happens in a vacuum. In 1995, this was at the tail end of terrorism/militancy/insurgency, whatever you want to call it, in Punjab. Its nasty peak was 1990-91 — the gun ruled & ordinary life disappeared after sunset. Fear had frozen Punjab. There was no govt, no institutions. Only 2 things functioned — police & terrorists.
5. And, terrorism was not simply about killings; the idea was to control society, much like the Taliban later. So, the national anthem was banned, music was banned, the Hindi language was banned, skirts, trousers & dresses were banned &, of course, they wanted to change school curricula. Journalists weren’t spared either.
6. There are countless stories of brutal killings. For example, of Nirmal Kanta, the principal of a govt school in Rajpura. Or, of activist Manjeet Singh Babbu. Or of AK Talib, the station director AIR. Or, of course, of Gen. AS Vaidya.

While the whole country is debating petrol-ethanol, the bros from Madhya Pradesh have already pulled off what is arguably India's first major ethanol scam, not counting you know who.
There is a govt policy that surplus rice in govt warehouses can be sold to ethanol manufacturers at subsidised rates to prevent it from rotting.
According to a Dainik Bhaskar report, the scam began when some officials allegedly (willingly?) ignored the rules and allocated "newly procured" fortified rice (not even regular rice, but fortified rice) for ethanol production. The rice, bought at a high price (₹4,000 per quintal), was sold at a throwaway price (₹2,320 per quintal) to ethanol plants.
The ethanol plant operators allegedly knew it was fortified rice, so instead of using it to make ethanol, they sold it to rice millers at ₹2,800 per quintal, and instead bought cheap broken rice (₹2,100 per quintal) from the open market for ethanol production, making an overall profit of ₹700 per quintal.
The rice millers allegedly repacked the fortified rice in new gunny bags and supplied it back to the govt as freshly milled rice. The govt paid them milling charges, while the govt supplied paddy they were actually supposed to mill was allegedly sold in the open market for another round of profit.
So the same bag of rice allegedly kept changing hands: govt warehouse to ethanol plant to rice mill to back to govt warehouse. Everyone in the chain allegedly made money.
The MP govt formed an SIT. So far, four people have been arrested and 12 trucks seized. Investigators suspect that up to 50 lakh quintals of govt rice, worth around ₹1,160 crore, may have been diverted through this alleged racket.
This video is from Star Bazar, Mira Road..
You can see rat in vegetable bucket, not just rats but cockroaches and lizards were there in vegetable section..
When MNS workers got to know about this incident they immediately went and ask them to shut down star bazar..
This is so dangerous and happening in brand like TATA 😣
I worked in Punjab as a journalist during the peak of militancy. Later in my career, I headed the Punjab Cell in the CBI, which had, in its past, investigated cases of fake encounters as well as the assassination of Sardar Beant Singh.
Those experiences gave me a rare opportunity to see both sides of that tragic period. They taught me that any honest account of those years must acknowledge both sides of the story.
And that is exactly my concern with Satluj: not what it shows, but what it leaves out. It tells only half the truth; the other half is left unsaid, deliberately, and with a purpose.
The film decontextualizes Jaswant Singh Khalra and the human rights debate from the Pakistan-backed, brutal Khalistani insurgency. This omission is neither an innocent creative choice nor an inadvertent one. And, in my view, the intent behind such a selective portrayal should matter to every Indian.
If a corporator thinks it’s okay to beat up a doctor, then the next time there’s a pothole in a road in his area, is it okay to beat him?
Asking for several friends
A Mumbai govt hospital advised a pregnant woman's family to consider transferring her elsewhere, as pre-delivery fetal assessment indicates her newborn will likely require NICU care, and all of their NICU beds are currently occupied.
The woman's husband called Shiv Sena (Shinde) corporator Ramesh Mhatre, who arrived with his goons and assaulted doctors and nurses.
If you understand how hospitals work, you'll know a bed not being available is not the doctor's fault. You can't ask another critical newborn to vacate a bed, nor can you provide NICU care on the floor, nor can you "arrange bed from some other dept" because a NICU bed isn't just a bed, it comes with ventilators, monitors, oxygen, infusion pumps, and other life-support equipment.
So the blame, if any, goes on the govt. But doctors are the easiest targets, and assaulting them earns politicians easy political mileage.
I know some will say, "Doctors are evil and deserve it," and that's fine. I'm not seeking sympathy. This post is for parents and medical aspirants. Unless your parents own a hospital, you choose govt jobs with better working conditions like the Army, paramilitary, or Railways, plan to pursue USMLE (or an equivalent pathway), or intend to move to private practice where you can arrange your own security, think carefully before choosing this profession.
Most govt hospitals are hellholes. You can serve patients well for decades and still end up being abused or assaulted by a tenth-pass corporator, a publicity-hungry politician chasing cameras, or patient relatives who think every death could have been prevented if only the doctor had "tried harder."
Rain in Delhi and fun at the CJP protest go hand in hand.

Akriti Sutar from Delhi died after falling, either thrown as her parents allege or jumping as police claim, from her in-laws' house due to dowry harassment.
If the allegations are true, may her in-laws rot in jail for life. But I'm writing this post to highlight the recurring apathy of girls' parents towards the plight of their own daughters in such cases.
According to Akriti's mother, her daughter had repeatedly complained of physical abuse after her marriage. She alleged that on June 17, nearly three weeks before her death, Akriti was beaten by her husband with a belt. On June 29, a week before her death, Akriti called her mother in fear and said she believed her husband might kill her.
Even Akriti's brother also said she had become unusually quiet after marriage. He recalled that after one incident in which her husband slapped her, both families intervened to settle the matter.
Why do parents, even today, fail to take their daughters' pleas seriously and intervene while there is still time? Why does it take a daughter's death before they raise their voices? It is a grave moral failure. They cannot wash their hands of responsibility. When parents knowingly ignore clear evidence of an imminent threat to life, the law should hold their inaction accountable in one way or another.
