Interesting Fact

Sign language is a complete language with its own grammar and expressions! Just like spoken languages, every country has its own unique sign language.

@ICICIBank_Care @ICICIBank One of your FastTag KYC prompts has a date-picker widget for the DOB, which does not allow easy navigation to the previous years. Given my age, I'll have to click on that small left-arrow ~500 times to get to my DOB! Terrible #uiuxdesign

OPERATION SINDOOR

Indian Army Pulverizes Terrorist Launchpads

As a response to Pakistan's misadventures of attempted drone strikes on the night of 08 and 09 May 2025 in multiple cities of Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab, the #Indian Army conducted a coordinated fire assault on terrorist launchpads, pulverizing & razing them to cinders.
The terrorist launchpads, located close to the Line of Control, were a hub for planning and executing terror attacks against Indian civilians and security forces in the past. The Indian Army's swift and decisive action has dealt a significant blow to terrorist infrastructure and capabilities.

OPERATION SINDOOR

Pakistan’s blatant escalation with drone strikes and other munitions continues along our western borders. In one such incident, today at approximately 5 AM, Multiple enemy armed drones were spotted flying over Khasa Cantt, Amritsar. The hostile drones were instantly engaged and destroyed by our air defence units.

Pakistan’s blatant attempt to violate India’s sovereignty and endanger civilians is unacceptable. #IndianArmy will thwart enemy designs.

Safety provided by the Indian army and air defense systems on stellar display

College students at NIT Jalandhar have, imo, created perhaps the most memorable video of this conflict

Dad & I had a good laugh watching this

The current discussion amongst Bollywood stars isn’t how to make quality movies which people like. Instead they are focussing on how to create false perception that their movies are blockbusters and they are still big stars. And surprisingly studios are also towing this diktat.
