India Handling Delhi Blast Probe ‘Exceptionally Well’: US

The United States has offered to assist India in investigating the deadly explosion that shook central Delhi this week, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Indian authorities appear to have the situation firmly under control. Speaking to reporters in Canada after a meeting of G7 foreign ministers on Wednesday, Rubio confirmed that Washington had offered its support to New Delhi. However, he commended Indian investigators for their swift and professional handling of the case. “We’ve offered to help, but I think they’re very capable in these investigations,” Rubio said. “They don’t need our help, and they’re doing a good job.” Massive Probe Underway After Red Fort Blast The powerful explosion, which struck near Delhi’s historic Red Fort on 10 November, claimed 12 lives and left dozens injured. In its aftermath, Indian security agencies launched an extensive probe, with forensic and counterterrorism teams working around the clock to uncover the cause and those behind the attack. Rubio’s remarks came as messages of sympathy and solidarity poured in from around the world, recognising India’s rapid and coordinated response to the tragedy. US Embassy Expresses Condolences The US Embassy in New Delhi also issued a statement expressing condolences. Ambassador Sergio Gor wrote on 11 November, “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who were lost in the terrible explosion in New Delhi last night. We wish a swift recovery to those who were injured.” Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who were lost in the terrible explosion in New Delhi last night.

Humans have a secret ‘seventh sense’ — and it could let them feel things from a distance

Scientists have uncovered a remarkable 'remote touch' sense in humans, enabling detection of hidden objects beneath surfaces. Experiments show people can locate items buried in sand with surprising accuracy, a feat previously deemed impossible. This discovery, mimicking shorebirds, suggests our tactile perception is far more advanced than understood and has potential applications in robotics and exploration.

Why are human babies so helpless? Scientists say it’s what makes us smart

Human babies are born remarkably helpless, a deliberate evolutionary advantage. This early dependence allows for extended brain development outside the womb, fostering exceptional intelligence and adaptability. Cooperative childcare and a long childhood are crucial for learning, social bonding, and the complex problem-solving that defines our species. Embracing this slow development nurtures crucial emotional and intellectual growth.

Yamaha XSR155 Vs MT-15 - Differences In Looks?

The XSR155 is a retro-looking version of the R15 and MT-15 in India, while its pricing is at Rs 1.50 lakh. This means there is the same 155cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, which develops 18.4hp at 10,000rpm and 14.1Nm at 7,500rpm, along with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Its chassis and frame are also the same, while it is slightly heavier than the MT-15, and the ground clearance is also lower by about 50mm.  The styling, though, is what makes this bike stand out with a round headlamp and a teardrop tank, plus even a round LED taillight. There is also a single-piece seat, which further adds to the retro touch.  Other highlights include an LCD dash, dual-channel ABS and traction control, plus four colour options including silver, red, green and blue.  Compared to the futuristic MT-15, the retro lines of the XSR155 are different. We think the retro XSR is cheaper and aimed at a different crowd than the sportier MT-15. The SXR is around Rs 1.5 lakh, which makes it more affordable, but both bikes are different. In terms of value, the retro XSR holds more appeal, while the MT-15 does get more features like a TFT dash, which isn't available on the new retro bike.  Alongside this bike, Yamaha also showed their electric version of the Aerox named Aerox-E, which gets a set of dual 1.5kWh detachable batteries, plus it develops 9.5kW of peak power and 48Nm of torque. There is also the EC-06, which is based on the River Indie platform.

Meet Girija Oak Godbole, The ‘Blue Saree Wali’ Who Has Taken Social Media By Storm

From Marathi star to national crush Girija, who has worked extensively in Marathi, Hindi, and Kannada cinema, became the talk of the town after a clip from her recent interview with The Lallantop went viral. In the video, she recounted a humorous classroom incident from her college days, recalling how a simple pronunciation mix-up left her class stunned. “I had a physics professor. He asked us, ‘What are babes?’. We were stunned over what happened to Sir. He then looked at another student and asked him to respond to the question. He was also silent. Our professor then looked at a girl and asked 'What are babes?' We kept looking at him,” she said. "WHAT ARE BABES ?"Physics professor of Indian Actress Girija Oak Godbole was asking what are waves but sounding like what are babes ?The whole scenario of the class took U Turn later, when they all got to know what her professor was actually asking ?pic.twitter.com/XJgP2NnTfz — HolyPun (@HolyPun) November 9, 2025 It turned out that the professor had meant to ask, “What are waves?”, leading to laughter and disbelief — and now, to an online frenzy.

Speaking about the overnight fame, Girija told Hindustan Times, “I am amused! My phone started buzzing like crazy on Sunday evening. I was in rehearsals for my play and couldn't take calls. Suddenly, all my friends were messaging me, 'Do you know what's happening on X?'” She further added, “One sent me a post debating if it was (actor) Priya Bapat or me! Then my devar told me some cheap handles picked up my pictures and there was a whole 'bhabhi lover' scene happening. Some pages sexualised me. But Marathi fans said, 'You've only just discovered her! We've known her for years.'” Despite the mixed reactions online, Girija remains unfazed. “At the cost of sounding wise and old, it's a trend; it'll come and go. The work I do is here to stay. If people discover my work now, that makes me happy,” she shared. Taking it all in stride Even as certain posts crossed the line, the actor said her family remained completely unfazed. “Fortunately, I come from a film family. My father's an actor, my father-in-law is a producer, my husband's a filmmaker. We understand one can't control perceptions. I never have to go out of my way to explain, because we're all aware of the nature of the beast. If you put yourself on a pedestal, people will talk.” About Girija Oak Godbole Born in Nagpur on December 27, 1987, Girija holds a degree in Biotechnology from Thakur College of Science and Commerce, Mumbai, and has also studied Business Management. Her roots in theatre and early exposure to performance art shaped her into one of Marathi cinema’s most versatile talents. She made a mark in Hindi films like Taare Zameen Par (2007), Shor in the City (2010), and more recently, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan (2023). In 2011, she married filmmaker Suhrud Godbole, son of noted producer Shrirang Godbole. She is also the daughter of acclaimed actor Girish Oak.

World Pneumonia Day 2025: Could Your Winter Cough Be Early Pneumonia? How To Tell

(By Dr. Anusha C M) Winter is here, and so are the array of respiratory illnesses. During this season, people tend to catch colds and coughs more frequently. But have you ever wondered, could these simple, recurring cold and cough episodes turn into a full-blown pneumonia? Here’s what you should know, and a few signs to help you tell whether your cold and cough might be developing into something more serious. ALSO READ: World Pneumonia Day 2025: Know The History, Significance, Theme, And All About This Day 1. A Cough That Won’t Go Away Generally, a normal cold or viral flu brings symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, mild dry cough, and throat irritation. But if your cough starts becoming more productive, meaning you begin to cough up yellow or green sputum, and it persists for more than two weeks, it’s time to consult a pulmonologist. 2. Breathing Difficulty In most viral infections or seasonal colds, breathing difficulty is uncommon. However, if you start experiencing shortness of breath, wheezing, or you’re unable to carry out your regular activities comfortably, consider it a warning sign. 3. Fever That Refuses To Settle Typically, a fever from the flu goes away within three to four days. If you have a fever that lasts for over two weeks, chills, shaking, and excessive sweating, it may be that your infection has developed into pneumonia. 4. Chest Pain While Coughing Or Breathing If you have sharp or stabbing pains whenever you cough or take deep breaths, these could be a sign of fluid build-up in the lungs or pneumonia. The pain shouldn't be ignored; this needs medical attention. 5. Extreme Fatigue And Weakness If you're more tired than usual, can't get out of bed, or you lack the energy to get you through the day, that could be a symptom of pneumonia. If the exhaustion persists and is more than what you would expect from having a cold, that's something to worry about. 6. Changes In Mental Health Pneumonia can affect your mental clarity and alertness rapidly. You may notice confusion, disorientation, drowsiness, short-term memory issues, imbalance, or difficulty walking in the person. These symptoms are most common in older adults and are quite serious. When To Seek Help If you or anyone close to you possesses any of the warning signs mentioned above, do not wait but seek immediate consultation with a pulmonologist. Early detection is the most effective treatment against pneumonia, while delays lead to complications.

New 2025 Hyundai Venue N Line And Venue Diesel: Should You Buy?

The new Venue is an all new car and it's no longer in the shadows of its larger sibling along with a more aggressive look as well.  The Venue has always been a strong seller but with high competition, Hyundai have changed the Venue to make it more premium plus add more tech.  Hyundai Venue N Line Have they succeeded? Well for starters, the new Venue looks bigger and is more premium in design plus the N Line has more differentiation too.  The look is spot on and it does not look too small but the right size. However, the interior is the real deal where the quality is now at top of its class with the standard Venue having a premium dual-tone theme plus the larger screens as well as the steering wheel.  There are plenty of physical buttons and it feels high quality above rivals. The N Line looks even better with the all black look plus the different shifter and steering wheel.  We will say the new infotainment system is better than rivals too and there are now OTA updates while extra features like a 360 degree camera (high quality display), ADAS, smart key, ventilated seats, powered driver seat and powered handbrake are welcome.  Compared to rivals, the equipment list is high but dual powered seats and a panoramic sunroof are missing. Space has been improved over the earlier Venue and it was needed while sunblinds are welcome too although the middle headrest is missing.  The N Line is available with a turbo petrol unit and it is a familiar 120bhp version but the difference is that the N Line is louder while the larger 17-inch wheels provide a bit of a firm ride but it still handles quite keenly along with a heavier steering for the N Line.  Another advantage is the inclusion of the 6-speed torque converter for the diesel which expands more buyers since diesel has demand particularly in the rural markets. The new Venue has grown up and compared to competition, it holds the advantage in terms of its quality, interior and the N Line.  While space could be more and the top-end variants may be a bit on the expensive side, the Venue ticks more boxes this time than its predecessor.
