Croatian freediver Vitomir Maričić achieved one of the most extraordinary feats in human history by holding his breath underwater for 29 minutes and 3 seconds, a new Guinness World Record.
Experts had long considered such a duration impossible. While a trained dolphin can typically hold its breath for 8–10 minutes and most humans can barely manage one or two, Maričić remained completely still underwater for nearly half an hour on a single breath.
The attempt pushed his body to extreme limits. As the minutes passed, powerful contractions wracked his diaphragm and his organs endured intense physiological stress. Yet through years of rigorous training, mental discipline, and specialized breathing techniques, he stayed calm and focused until the end.
What makes this record even more impressive is Maričić’s purpose. He didn’t do it for fame or personal glory, he used the achievement as a powerful platform to raise global awareness about ocean conservation, marine protection, and the urgent threats facing our oceans.
A stunning demonstration of human potential and a heartfelt call to protect the planet’s most vital ecosystem.
जब मैंने कहा था कि धर्मेंद्र प्रधान को अपमानित करके (कहा तो मैंने कुछ और ही था) कैबिनेट से निकाला जाना चाहिए, तो कई लोगों को (UGC के कारण मेरे सरकार विरोध में होने से) समस्या हो गई थी।
इस नकारे मंत्री के कार्यकाल में NEET 2026 रद्द हो गई। इनसे पेपर लीक रुक नहीं रहा, DU में सवर्ण सहायक प्रोफेसरों को चिह्नित करके निकाला जा रहा है, VC वामपंथी लेख लिख रहे हैं, नई शिक्षा नीति लागू हो रही है पर पन्नों में ब्राह्मण ब्रिटिश को न्योता दे कर बुलाता दिखाया जा रहा है, NCERT में आज भी डिस्टॉर्टेड इतिहास पढ़ाया जा ही रहा है, फिर यह व्यक्ति क्या एक प्लेस होल्डर मात्र है?
हर 58 मिनट में एक छात्र आत्महत्या करता है। उसका कारण स्ट्रेस है, चिंता है, असफलता है, तंत्र द्वारा उसकी परीक्षा लेना है। निर्धन छात्र पैसे ले कर नए नगर में परीक्षा देने जाता है, प्लेटफार्म पर अख़बार बिछा कर सोता है, सड़क किनारे जल पीकर परीक्षा देता है कि एक दिन परिणाम आने पर उसकी चिन्ताएँ समाप्त हो जाएँगी, पर तंत्र उसे तड़पाता रहता है।
धर्मेंद्र प्रधान एक निकृष्ट और नकारा नेता है, उस से भी गया०बीता मंत्री। ऐसे लोगों को कोई घर का गराज संभालने ने दे, ये देश की शिक्षा घंटा सँभालेगा? @narendramodi जी, यदि UGC के 118 दिन बाद आपकी सरकार ने सवर्णों को औक़ात दिखा दी हो, और आपका ईगो शांत हो गया हो कि क्या उखाड़ लिया, गुजरात निगम और असम-बंगाल चुनाव जीत गए, तो प्लीज़ इस निकम्मे धर्मेंद्र प्रधान को विदा कीजिए।
यदि, चुनाव के आँकड़े ही आपके लिए एक मात्र मोटिवेशन हैं और देश की शिक्षा गर्त में जाते अच्छी लगती है, तो फिर कोई बात नहीं, UP चुनाव के लिए रैलियाँ कीजिए।
dude computers are actually so fucking insane when you really think about it. we literally figured out how to write some fake-ass rules called code and somehow convinced rocks to follow them. like actual rocks. sand, melted, purified, carved into tiny pathways where electricity just flows in patterns. that’s it. that’s the whole magic.
and yet from that we get operating systems, compilers, kernels, networks, distributed systems, machine learning models, entire virtual worlds running inside other virtual worlds. billions of tiny electrical decisions per second, all because we defined some abstract logic.
humans basically invented a language of instructions and taught matter itself to execute it.
I have read the 18 page chapter on the Judiciary which was in the new NCERT textbook of class 8. I find it to be a balanced chapter about the structure, role & achievements of the Judiciary. In the last 2 pages it mentions Delays & Corruption as among the challenges faced by it.
This ham handed order by the SC is a self goal which has further highlighted the problem of corruption in the Judiciary
In Better Call Saul, Jimmy’s speech to Kristy Esposito.
“You didn’t get it [the scholarship]. You were never gonna get it. They dangle these things in front of you. They tell you you got a chance, but I’m sorry, it’s a lie, because they had already made up their mind and they knew what they were gonna do before you walked in the door. You made a mistake [shoplifting], and they are never forgetting it. As far as they’re concerned, your mistake is just… It’s who you are, and it’s all you are. And I’m not just talking about the scholarship here. I’m talking about *everything*. I mean, they’ll smile at you, they’ll pat you on the head, but they are *never, ever* letting you in. But listen. Listen. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t because you don’t need them. They’re not gonna give it to you? So what? You’re gonna take it. You’re gonna do whatever it takes. Do you hear me? You are not gonna play by the rules. You’re gonna go your own way. You’re gonna do what they won’t do. You’re gonna be smart. You are gonna cut corners, and you are gonna win. They’re on the 35th floor? You’re gonna be on the 50th floor. You’re gonna be looking down on them. And the higher you rise, the more they’re gonna hate you. Good. Good. You rub their noses in it. You make them suffer. You don’t matter all that much to them. So what? So what? Screw them. Remember, the winner takes it all.”

Alok Kumar Singh from UP, a maths professor at a private college in Mumbai, known among colleagues as calm, polite, and soft-spoken, was travelling in a local train.
He asked a man standing at the gate to give him space to get down. That small request turned into an argument. The man, later identified by police as Omkar Shinde, stabbed him to death and fled.
Once again, a productive life was ended by a fringe. Shinde will be arrested, jailed, then out on bail. The case will crawl for years with hearings, dates, and delays. If there is any outcome at all, it will likely be a few years in prison. This is what we call “justice”, mostly to help ourselves cope. Because once you are dead, there is no justice. No punishment, no verdict can bring it back.
Professor sahab was a gentle man. He surely wasn’t looking for a fight. This couldn’t have been just about being told to move aside, such rage doesn’t come from nowhere.
What remains is a destroyed family. He was married just two years ago.
Rohtash Khileri becomes the first Indian and the first human to stay 24 hours on Europe’s highest peak, Mount Elbrus, without oxygen.
This moment was eight years in the making:
> 2018: He did his first attempt, and achieved summit
> 2020: Planned for 24 hours but descended to save a guide’s life
> 2023: Brutal weather allowed only 4 hours at the top
> 2026: Finally made the world record of staying there for 24 hours
–40°C, brutal winds, total isolation, and unmatched grit. This is not just mountaineering, this is pure willpower.
India, this is what resilience looks like. A moment of pride for India and for everyone who dares to dream big. Congratulations Rohtash❤️🇮🇳
