Tata Sierra Colours: Is Black Offered? Check It Out

The new Sierra comes in a variety of colours, but in total there are six, including Andaman Adventure, Bengal Rouge, Coorg Clouds, Mintal Grey, Munnar Mist and Pristine White. The Bengal Rouge and the Andaman Adventure are the eye-catching colours here with a strong hue. Typically, we don't see SUVs with such colours, but the new Sierra gets this, and these two colours look vibrant, especially the signature yellow. There are more subtle colours on offer, including Munnar Mist and the typical Mintal Grey. However, lighter colours are on offer with Pristine White and Coorg clouds. We suspect the Pristine White would be a strong seller due to our preference for white, while the lighter Coorg clouds are also an option, which would be popular. However, there is no black on offer, which is probably reserved for a Stealth edition or the EV or a possible Dark edition later.

IPL 2026: Only Foreign Cricketer To Win 3 Orange Caps In IPL History

With the 19th season of Indian Premier League approaching, preparations are in full swing, and anticipation is building ahead of the mini-auction, where 77 players are set to go under the hammer. As discussions around IPL intensify, here’s an interesting piece of trivia about the tournament. Do you know which player has won the most Orange Caps in IPL history? If you guessed Virat Kohli, that’s not correct. The record is actually held by a foreign player - one who has claimed the Orange Cap three times. David Warner: The Only Player with Three Orange Caps The distinction goes to Australia’s David Warner, who has consistently dominated the IPL with his explosive batting. Warner first secured the Orange Cap in 2015, scoring 562 runs. He topped it with an exceptional performance in 2017, amassing 641 runs, and again in 2019, when he struck 692 runs to claim his third Orange Cap. Warner’s Remarkable IPL Journey David Warner has been one of the most successful overseas players in the league. Active from 2009 to 2024, he represented Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad, playing 184 matches and accumulating 6,565 runs at an impressive average of 40. His record includes 4 centuries and 62 fifties, and he famously led SRH to their maiden IPL title in 2016. Orange Cap winner in this year's IPL Gujarat Titans opener Sai Sudharsan won the Orange Cap in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. He scored an impressive 759 runs in 15 matches, including one century and six half-centuries, with a highest score of 108 not out. His prolific run-scoring made him the youngest player ever to win the prestigious award, cementing his reputation as a consistent and formidable batsman. Sai Sudharsan's excellent performance was a bright spot for the Gujarat Titans, even though the team did not reach the final.

WHO Declares Indonesia Polio-Free After Year-Long Vaccination Programme

Jakarta [Indonesia] November 22 (ANI):  The World Health Organisation (WHO) has officially declared the end of Indonesia's poliovirus type-2 outbreak, marking a major milestone in the country's public health efforts after years of low vaccination coverage. The announcement came on 19 November after no poliovirus was detected in children or the environment since June 2024. According to the Ministry of Health, nearly 60 million additional doses of polio vaccine were administered nationwide as part of the emergency response, as per the WHO. Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin credited the achievement to the dedication of healthcare workers, the cooperation of parents, and support from global partners, according to WHO. "We have managed to stop the spread of polio in Indonesia thanks to the dedication of our health workers, commitment of parents and communities to get the children vaccinated and the support of our partners. Every child deserves protection. We must keep working to make sure polio does not return by ensuring all children receive complete age-appropriate polio immunisations," he said. He also warned that the threat of polio remains in areas where immunisation coverage is still low. WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific Dr Saia Ma'u Piukala said Indonesia's success strengthens the entire region's polio-free status. "Indonesia's success marks a vital step towards a polio-free world. It also reinforces the entire WHO Western Pacific Region's ability to retain its polio-free status, an achievement we proudly reached 25 years ago," he said, urging all countries to stay vigilant. The outbreak began in October 2022 with the first case detected in Aceh. Additional cases were confirmed in Banten, West Java, Central Java, East Java, North Maluku, Central Papua, Highland Papua and South Papua, with the last case reported on 27 June 2024. The Indonesian government launched multiple rounds of vaccination campaigns using the novel OPV-2 (nOPV2) vaccine and improved routine immunisation coverage. Children receiving their second dose of the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) rose from 63 per cent in 2023 to 73 per cent in 2024. To further improve protection, Indonesia introduced a hexavalent vaccine combining DPT-HB-Hib and IPV, offering immunity against six diseases in a single shot. The programme began in October 2025 in Yogyakarta, West Nusa Tenggara, Bali and six Greater Papua provinces, with nationwide expansion planned next year. Independent assessments under the Global Polio Eradication Initiative were conducted in 2023, 2024 and 2025. The review concluded that Indonesia had implemented a high-quality response and closed transmission, fulfilling all criteria for outbreak closure. UNICEF Indonesia Representative Maniza Zaman said the achievement showed the power of collective effort. "This shows what is possible when communities, health workers and partners unite. We must keep up the momentum so every child receives the immunisation they need to grow up healthy and free from polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases." The Ministry of Health said it will continue strengthening surveillance, routine immunisation and community engagement to ensure the disease does not return, as per WHO. The milestone was achieved through collaboration between the Indonesian government, WHO, UNICEF, UNDP, CHAI, Rotary International, and thousands of frontline health workers across the country.

9 Fascinating Facts About Dreams That Reveal How Powerful Your Brain Really Is

Dreams feel mysterious, confusing, and sometimes magical, but scientific research suggests they are far more meaningful than we assume. While you sleep, your brain becomes incredibly active, solving problems, processing emotions, strengthening memories, and even warning you about stress or unresolved issues. Whether it’s recurring dreams, sudden nightmares, or bizarre storylines that make no sense in the moment, each one carries a message. Here are nine eye-opening facts that prove your brain is smarter, sharper, and more intuitive than you realise. ALSO READ: Digital Dementia: How Excessive Screen Time Is Rewiring The Brain, Experts Warn 1. Your Brain Is More Active During Dreams Than When You’re Awake (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) During REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, your brain works harder than it does during most waking moments, firing up regions responsible for memory, creativity, and emotion. This heightened activity explains why dreams often feel vivid or overwhelming, even though your body lies still. It sorts what to keep, what to forget, and what to interpret emotionally. That’s why you might dream about something random you saw briefly or something deeply personal you felt but didn’t express. The brain uses this time to make sense of incomplete thoughts, unresolved feelings, and half-processed experiences. If you’ve ever woken up with a sudden idea or clarity about a problem, it’s because your brain continued working long after you fell asleep. 2. Dreams Help Your Brain Process And Store Memories (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Memory consolidation is one of the most important jobs your brain performs during sleep. When you dream, the mind carefully organises what you learned, experienced, or felt during the day. Memories aren't stored randomly. They're strengthened, reorganised, or sometimes deleted depending on how valuable or emotionally charged they are. Dreams help merge new experiences with old memories, giving you a deeper understanding of situations or emotions. That’s why dreams often mix people, places, and timelines. Even traumatic memories pass through this filtering system so the brain can soften their emotional impact. 3. Your Dreams Reveal Emotions You Ignore While Awake (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Dreams often expose feelings you suppress or avoid during the day. When your conscious mind switches off, your subconscious takes over, giving room for emotions that usually remain buried. This is why people dream about past relationships, unresolved arguments, or situations they haven’t fully processed yet. Nightmares can also be emotional warnings, especially when you’re overwhelmed or anxious. Your brain uses dreams to express truths that daily routines and responsibilities often silence. If you’re confused about how you feel about someone or something, observing your dreams over time may offer surprising clarity. Dreams are like mirrors, they don’t always show what you want to see, but they show what you need to understand. 4. Most Dreams Disappear Within Minutes Of Waking Up (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Ever wondered why you remember a dream vividly for a few seconds and then it fades instantly? This happens because the brain switches states very quickly when you wake up. The hippocampus, the part that handles memory, doesn’t transfer dream details into long-term storage unless something significant triggers it. That’s why emotionally intense dreams stay with you, while ordinary ones vanish in seconds. The brain prioritises what feels meaningful, not everything it produces. Remembering dreams isn’t a sign of intelligence or lack of it, it simply means your transition between sleep stages is lighter. 5. Your Brain Solves Real-Life Problems Through Dreams (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Many breakthroughs, scientific, creative, and personal, have come through dreams. This happens because your brain continues analysing unresolved thoughts even as you sleep. Without the distractions of everyday life, your mind operates more freely, exploring solutions or patterns you didn't recognise while awake. That’s why people wake up with answers, ideas, or clarity they struggled to find the previous day. This subconscious problem-solving mechanism is one reason sleep is crucial for decision-making. Your brain doesn’t rest, but it works smarter in silence. 6. Recurring Dreams Reflect Persistent Stress Or Unresolved Thoughts (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Recurring dreams often appear when your mind is stuck in a cycle of stress or emotional blockage. They repeat because the root cause remains unaddressed. The brain keeps bringing the issue to your attention, hoping you will confront it. These dreams are symbolic, and not literal. Recurring dreams tell you something isn’t fully resolved, and the longer they persist, the more your subconscious demands attention. They are not warnings of disaster; they’re reminders to take care of your mental and emotional health. 7. Your Brain Cannot Invent Faces (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) A fascinating fact is that every face you see in a dream belongs to someone you’ve seen before, even briefly. The brain cannot generate completely new human faces. It pulls from a massive internal archive of strangers, acquaintances, old classmates, people in crowds, or individuals you passed quickly on the street. Your brain stores these face impressions without you realising it. In dreams, it mixes features, expressions, and memories to create characters that feel unfamiliar but strangely recognisable. 8. Dreams Strengthen Your Emotional Resilience (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Dreaming isn’t just storytelling, it is an emotional therapy. During REM sleep, your brain regulates emotional intensity, helping you recover from stress and maintain balance. This is why people who sleep well often feel more grounded, while those who are sleep-deprived experience irritability, anxiety, or emotional overload. Dreams help you process heartbreak, fear, anger, and confusion by replaying experiences in a safer, symbolic form. Even nightmares serve a purpose, they help desensitise your mind to stress. 9. Your Dreams Can Influence Your Mood, Creativity, And Day  (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) The quality of your dreams impacts how you feel when you wake up. A pleasant dream can lift your mood, spark creativity, or calm your mind, while a disturbing one can drain energy or trigger anxiety. This happens because dreams activate the same emotional and neurological pathways as waking experiences. In many ways, your brain treats dream emotions as real. Whether vivid or subtle, dreams shape your mindset for the day ahead. They give clues about what needs attention. The more aware you become of your dreams, the more you understand yourself.
