Before Gurgaon transformed into Gurugram, a city of glass facades, sprawling highways, and corporate towers, its landscape was defined by rivers, wetlands, and ponds. At the heart of this natural network flowed the Sahibi River—a seasonal river that once sustained farmlands, wetlands, and wildlife across Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi. Today, the Sahibi survives only in memory. Its course through Delhi has been reduced to the Najafgarh drain, a stench-filled, black stream carrying industrial effluents and untreated sewage into the Yamuna. What was once a lifeline is now a symbol of urban neglect and ecological loss. The Origins of the Sahibi…

The Bollywood box office witnessed a dramatic face-off this week with two starkly different films—Tiger Shroff’s action-packed Baaghi 4 and Vivek Agnihotri’s politically charged drama The Bengal Files. While both films cater to entirely different audience segments, their box office performance over the first two days highlights a clear winner in terms of commercial success. A Tale of Two Genres On one hand, Baaghi 4, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, has been marketed as a full-throttle action entertainer. Staying true to the franchise’s identity, the film delivers gravity-defying stunts, raw combat sequences, and Tiger Shroff’s signature high-energy screen…
In an age where almost every unusual incident is captured on camera and shared online, airlines are increasingly finding themselves in the spotlight for reasons beyond delays or inflight scuffles.

On the night of September 7–8, 2025, India—and much of Asia, Europe, and Africa—witnessed an unforgettable celestial spectacle: a total lunar eclipse, popularly known as a “Blood Moon.” During this event, Earth’s shadow cloaked the Moon, bathing it in a surreal copper-red glow—a result of atmospheric refraction filtering out blue light and allowing the longer red wavelengths to reach the lunar surface. 1. When and Where It Happened The eclipse began at 8:58 p.m. IST, with totality—when the Moon was completely within Earth’s umbra—starting around 11:00 p.m. and lasting 82 minutes, until approximately 12:22 a.m. This duration of totality, 82…
When it comes to ambitious dreams, no one embodies them quite like Elon Musk. Known for pushing boundaries with electric vehicles, reusable rockets, and artificial intelligence, Musk now has a new goal in sight – a potential $1 trillion salary. But this isn’t a simple paycheck. It comes with bold conditions that require Tesla to meet some of the most ambitious business goals ever set in the corporate world. The plan shows both Tesla’s confidence in its future and the risks of tying so much to one individual. For ordinary people, the thought of a trillion-dollar salary sounds almost unbelievable,…
India’s security environment has always been shaped by its volatile western frontier, particularly the Line of Control (LoC) with Pakistan. In May 2024, the Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor, a military offensive in retaliation to the deadly Pahalgam terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir. While many initially assumed the operation concluded quickly, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi recently clarified that the offensive continued well beyond May 10 and remains central to India’s ongoing security strategy. This statement underscores two important realities: the prolonged nature of counterterrorism efforts and the evolving challenges posed by Pakistan-backed infiltration attempts. Background of Operation Sindoor…

The Asia Cup 2025 hockey tournament, currently being played in Rajgir, has entered its most crucial stage. With the Super 4s round heating up, all four teams—India, Malaysia, China, and defending champions South Korea—are still in contention for a place in the final scheduled for Sunday, September 7.

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) system in India is about to see its most significant transformation since its launch in 2017. From September 22, 2025, the government will roll out a restructured tax regime popularly known as GST 2.0. This overhaul simplifies the complex multi-rate system into a “2+1 structure”: 5% for essentials 18% for most goods and services 40% for sin and luxury items This change marks a clear attempt by the government to balance affordability for common households with higher taxation on indulgences and luxury products. For consumers, this means a lighter bill on day-to-day necessities but…
