Today at the airport, I witnessed a scene I will never forget.
The man's name was Daniel. He was holding his dog, Bruno, in his arms, tears welling up in his eyes. He was moving overseas, but Bruno could not be put in the cargo hold for health reasons. Daniel pleaded with the staff, I absolutely cannot leave him behind.
The crew then made space for him inside the plane. Bruno didn't bark or make a fuss even once; he just sat there quietly. He seemed to know he was safe, and everyone around him was touched by his composure.
When the plane landed, Daniel whispered softly, We made it together, Bruno.
Even now, my heart warms whenever I remember that moment
there is something incredibly satisfying about reading the first page of a book, and immediately something in your brain sits up and goes 'oh, i'm going to like this' — and then every subsequent page proves you right.
With the kids out of school for summer this mother found a really neat way to help the kids cool off and be creative at the same time. How cool is this?
We watch Naseeruddin Shah & think there cant possibly be anything left that he hasn't shown us over the decades
And then he turns up as JRD Tata in the ripe old age of 75 & reminds us why he's one of the finest we've ever had. What a graceful, moving performance in #TheTitanStory
For me, this is a pivotal moment in my science communication career, from India perspective.
Probably the first time, a major national media invited me to write an fact-based piece on a completely rubbish alternative medicine system that enjoys government protection - Homeopathy.
Please make this your must read of the day. I dissect every common nonsensical claim from the homeopathy community and bury age-old myths associated with this 200-plus year old obsolete pre-science artefact that still enjoys an undeserving place in Indian healthcare and which also destroys many young careers.
Well done and thank you Indian Express and Ms. Rinku Ghosh, the lead on health, for this! I really welcome this change! No one should be afraid of reporting facts about health misinformation even if it is government supported or promoted. This is the people's right.

Homeopathy survives for reasons that have little to do with effective healthcare.

Bad civic sense in movie theatres 🙈
@MunjalVaibhav talks about the growing lack of theatre etiquette in India, which is making the movie-going experience unpleasant for everyone 😭🍿

The evening of Jan 20th, 1991. Steve Waugh was dismissed for 60 on the 2nd day of a Sheffield Shield match against South Australia. It was, he felt, the final straw. That evening, he was at his fiancee, Lynette's place when the Australian coach Bobby Simpson called. He had been dropped for the next test against England.
Steve immediately drove over to his parent's place at Panania. When his mother Beverly opened the door, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She asked him what the matter was & he said he had been dropped.
She was in tears when Steve said it was all right, he wasn't too concerned. When his ma asked about his replacement, he said, 'he's right here' & pointed to his twin Mark, chatting with their dad Rodger.
Mark got 138 on debut & they went on to play 108 tests together.
Happy B'day Steve & Mark Waugh!
I've covered box office results literally hundreds of times in my career. The mind-blowing success of "Backrooms" and "Obsession" this weekend easily ranks in the top 1% as far as long-term significance for the movie business. My story w/ @johnjurg: https://t.co/rknlAhFvbG
Thank you Vinesh for giving everything on the mat. Unbelievable after 2 years out of competition, giving birth to a child a few months ago & still competing this well.
Thank you for fighting the good fight off the mat. You will be remembered for generations to come
In A Quiet Place, John Krasinski said no one could make eye contact with Emily Blunt after she nailed the bathtub scene in just one take.
“She changed the air in the room. It felt like you were witnessing a moment you shouldn’t be witnessing.”
“Only one crew member spoke afterward and said, ‘I don’t think we were supposed to watch that. None of us should have been there.’”
Emily Blunt later said Krasinski thought it would take five days to shoot the scene and Blunt simply did it one take and then said:
“What’s for lunch?”
