Your zodiac sign is 2,000 years out of date

Your zodiac sign may be inaccurate. Ancient astronomers based signs on constellations. Earth's wobble has shifted these star patterns over 2,000 years. Today, Western astrology uses seasonal signs, not star positions. Indian astrology aligns with star movements. Astronomy and astrology separated long ago. Belief in astrology persists due to its adaptability.

Tata Sierra Launch Nears- What To Expect
Technology

Tata Sierra Launch Nears- What To Expect

Tata Motors is soon launching the Sierra in India, and it will be on November 25th. The Sierra will fight with the likes of the Hyundai Creta and the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, amongst others. It will be right in the segment in terms of size, but will have a more rugged look. The talking points include the stance, which maintains some of the classic Sierra elements along with a flat bonnet line, which is tall for the proper SUV look. The wheel sizes will also be around 19 inches, which is larger than the competition spec. The new Sierra will come with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine, which will make power at around 170bhp, plus there will be a smaller naturally aspirated unit as well. Gearbox options would most likely be a DCT automatic as well as a manual gearbox. This is the internal combustion engine model and not the EV, which will come later, along with being the opposite of what we saw with the Curvv. The interiors, meanwhile, will have no less than three screens, with each being at 12.3 inches, and that includes a passenger unit as well. The passenger screen is the most talked-about element in the design of the cabin, which gives a full-width screen effect. The other feature list will include a 360-degree camera, ADAS, a panoramic sunroof, and powered seats, most likely, while rear seat occupants could also get some extra features. Tata will position it as a premium product and will equip it even more than its rivals. We will have more details soon for the full production spec version. Stay tuned.

Scientists have finally solved the 'tiny' T-Rex mystery

A groundbreaking study has settled a 40-year debate: the 'tiny tyrant' fossil is not a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex but a distinct species, Nanotyrannus lancensis. Researchers analyzed the 'dueling dinosaurs' specimen, revealing it was a 20-year-old adult with unique skull and limb features, suggesting a more complex Cretaceous ecosystem than previously believed.

Why Meditation Should Begin In Childhood: Building Calm Minds From A Young Age

Why Meditation Should Begin In Childhood: Building Calm Minds From A Young Age

(By Ma Prem Devyani) In today’s world, overflowing with information and digital distractions, meditation is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity. Children, even at tender ages, are introduced to smartphones, social media, and now even artificial intelligence. Their minds are being trained to react, compare, and consume, but rarely to pause, reflect, or simply be. Meditation offers a way back home, to the joy of one’s inner being.  Meditation is experiencing the sheer luxury of life when thoughts cease and one encounters the silent source within. It is tasting the joy of existence beyond the body and mind. And even the journey toward that inner space is beautiful. Osho often reminded us that meditation is not something to be achieved, it is our very nature. He said, “Meditation is a way of being, not a technique to be mastered.”  ALSO READ: Why Mental Healthcare Needs To Be Treated Like Any Other Medical Specialty? Know The Fact Nurturing The Heart And Inner Being Our education system today focuses almost entirely on training the mind, on analysis, performance, and competition. Yet it gives little nourishment to the heart and nothing to the being. It teaches children how to succeed in the outer world but not how to remain centered in the inner world. But what is the use of worldly success if one loses inner peace? Life is transient. Success, relationships, and wealth, all change and pass. Meditation prepares children to face this impermanence with grace.  When children learn to meditate early, they discover the stable center within, the part of them that remains calm amid change. This inner grounding gives rise to creativity, courage, and clarity. They become more capable of taking risks, of expressing beauty, and of contributing positively to the world. Most importantly, they become less prone to addiction, anxiety, and peer pressure, for they have tasted a deeper joy that no outer pleasure can replace.   This exposure plants a seed of awareness that can stay with them for life. Start young. Give children not just education, but meditation too. It is the greatest gift we can offer to the next generation.  Ma Prem Devyani is Meditation Facilitator at Osho Dham [Disclaimer: The information provided in the article is shared by experts and is intended for general informational purposes only.

IPL Auction Shocker: India Might Not Host, Event Could Go Overseas: Report

IPL Auction Shocker: India Might Not Host, Event Could Go Overseas: Report

IPL 2026 auction is now expected to be held overseas, according to reports from Cricbuzz. While IPL franchises have been given preliminary information, no official confirmation has yet been made. The likely venue is believed to be in the Gulf region, with Abu Dhabi in the UAE emerging as the frontrunner. Other Middle Eastern options, including Oman and Qatar, are also under consideration. Why change in plans? Originally, BCCI planned to host the auction in India, but logistical challenges have arisen. The preferred window for the event coincides with the festival and wedding season, making it difficult to secure a suitable venue. IPL auction is expected to take place around mid-December, most likely in the second half of the month. BCCI is anticipated to officially announce the date and venue by November 15, which is the deadline for franchises to submit their list of retentions and releases ahead of IPL 19. IPL 2026 Auction - Trade Rumors  Talks on player retentions and releases are picking up pace. Reports indicate that Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals are close to completing a major trade. If finalized, Sanju Samson may join Delhi in exchange for Tristan Stubbs, marking one of the most significant swaps in recent IPL history. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are reportedly targeting KL Rahul as they aim to rebound from a disappointing 2025 campaign. The franchise is on the lookout for a reliable batter who can also take on leadership duties. With his prior captaincy experience at Punjab and Lucknow, Rahul fits KKR’s requirements perfectly and could become a key figure in their quest for redemption next season. Team managements are quietly negotiating behind the scenes, ensuring they are ready to make quick moves once the trade window opens. Fans and experts alike are closely watching the rumors, predicting that this season’s auction and trade deals could be among the most dramatic in IPL history.

Maharashtra Renews Fight Against Leprosy, Declares It As 'Notifiable Disease'

Maharashtra Renews Fight Against Leprosy, Declares It As 'Notifiable Disease'

The Maharashtra government on Saturday announced that leprosy would be treated as a 'notifiable disease,' making it now incumbent upon the treating doctor or health institutions to report every diagnosed case to the state health officials. As per this directive, it is now mandatory for all doctors and healthcare institutions to report every diagnosed case of leprosy within two weeks to the respective District Health Office, Assistant Director (Health Services – Leprosy), and local municipal health authorities. The state government has clarified that the step of making leprosy a “notifiable disease” is an effort to curb the spread of leprosy and ensure timely treatment for patients. Leprosy Trends In India According to a report published by the Press Information Bureau, titled “Leprosy in India: The Road to a Disease-Free Future”, India’s leprosy prevalence rate has fallen from 57.2 per 10,000 population in 1981 to just 0.57 in 2025. The report says that among the new cases detected, the percentage of child cases has dropped from 9.04% in 2014-15 to 4.68% in 2024-25. As of March 2025, 31 states and 638 districts have achieved a prevalence rate of less than 1 per 10,000 population, sustaining India’s elimination status nationally. What Is Leprosy? Leprosy or Hansen's disease is caused by slow-growing bacteria called Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. The disease can affect the nerves, skin, eyes, and lining of the nose. In some cases, body parts may lose their sense of touch and pain, increasing the likelihood of injuries such as cuts and burns. Leprosy is not prevalent only in India. Each year, up to 225 people in the US and 250,000 around the world are diagnosed with Hansen's disease. Most people (around 95%) cannot get Hansen's disease because their immune system can fight off the bacteria that cause it. In 1982, the definitive cure for leprosy with Multi-Drug Therapy (MDT) containing the bactericidal drug Rifampicin and bacteriostatic drug Clofazimine besides Dapsone was endorsed by WHO as the standard leprosy treatment regimen. In 1983, the introduction of MDT regimens marked the beginning of India’s National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP). Regions With Higher Prevalence According to a paper published by the Hind Kusht Nivaran Sangh, New Delhi (IJL, September 2024), "Despite a significant reduction in the prevalence rate (PR) of leprosy to 0.45 per 10,000 population and a decline in the annual new case detection rate (ANCDR) to 5.09 per 100,000 population as of 31st March 2022 (National Strategic Plan and Roadmap for Leprosy 2023–2027), achieving the goal of a “Leprosy Mukt Bharat” by 2027 is still a far-fetched target." As per data from the National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP), states like Uttar Pradesh (20,492), Bihar (17,471), and Maharashtra (15,812) still contribute to a high burden of leprosy (Sharma and Singh 2022). National Strategic Plan And Roadmap For Leprosy 2023–27 The strategy document and roadmap outline the strategic interventions and lay out a clear-cut plan to achieve the goal of interruption in transmission of leprosy by 2027. India achieved elimination status in March 2005 at the national level, which means a prevalence rate of less than 1 per 10,000 population, and has sustained this till date. Since then, the programme has been working towards achieving this goal at the sub-national level.

Why Mental Healthcare Needs To Be Treated Like Any Other Medical Specialty? Know The Fact

Why Mental Healthcare Needs To Be Treated Like Any Other Medical Specialty? Know The Fact

(By Dr. Amit Malik) When someone experiences chest pain, they rush to a cardiologist. When they have recurring stomach problems, they consult a gastroenterologist. But when they struggle with anxiety, depression, or obsessive thoughts, many hesitate, delay, or seek help outside the medical system. This hesitation is not because mental illnesses are less real. It stems from a long history of separating the mind and body. The idea dates back to René Descartes, the 17th-century philosopher who declared, "I think, therefore I am." Descartes proposed that the mind and body were two different substances one physical, the other mental. This concept of mind–body dualism influenced how modern medicine evolved: the body became the focus of medicine, while the mind was relegated to philosophy, religion, and stigma. While science has moved on, our systems and attitudes have not. We continue to treat mental health as something apart from medicine, and the consequences of this separation are profound. ALSO READ: Tips To Stay Healthy And Avoid Falling Sick During Changing Weather Conditions The Cost Of Separation One in seven Indians lives with a mental health condition, yet more than 80 percent receive no treatment. Depression is now among the leading causes of disability in the country. The World Health Organization estimates that untreated mental illness will cost the global economy over 6 trillion dollars by 2030. Behind these numbers lie human stories. Employees arrive at work exhausted from panic attacks. Teenagers drop out of school because of untreated anxiety. Families face ongoing stress caring for a loved one with bipolar disorder or addiction. These are not "soft" issues they are real medical conditions that profoundly affect people’s ability to live, work, and connect. Science Has Closed The Gap Modern neuroscience has erased the old divide between mind and body. Emotions, thoughts, and behaviours are deeply rooted in brain biology. Depression alters brain chemistry and connectivity. Schizophrenia affects dopamine pathways. Chronic stress reshapes the brain’s memory and emotion centres. If society accepts that diabetes results from disrupted insulin regulation, it should also accept that depression arises from imbalances in brain chemistry or stress responses. The brain is an organ like any other, and its disorders deserve the same seriousness, research, and clinical care as heart disease or cancer.Yet in India, mental healthcare remains peripheral. Most medical colleges offer limited psychiatric training. Many hospitals lack integrated mental health departments. Insurance coverage, though legally mandated, often excludes or restricts psychiatric treatment. What True Parity Would Look Like Treating mental health as a medical specialty does not mean reducing emotion to biology. It means offering the same structure, standards, and respect that define other branches of medicine. That includes: Training: Preparing psychiatrists, psychologists, and physicians to collaborate as part of a unified healthcare system. Integration: Making mental health screening a routine part of primary care, chronic disease management, and workplace health programs. Insurance parity: Ensuring equal coverage for mental and physical illnesses. Research: Funding large-scale studies to evaluate interventions and outcomes in Indian contexts. Public investment: Recognizing emotional health as a foundation of national productivity and well-being. Changing The Lens The deeper shift must be philosophical. For centuries, the body has been seen as real and the mind as abstract. To move forward, we must embrace health as one unified concept. Emotional distress affects immunity, blood pressure, and recovery from physical illness. Likewise, chronic conditions such as diabetes or cancer often trigger depression and anxiety. The distinction between mental and physical health exists only in language not in biology. Integrated care shows measurable results. When people receive timely therapy, medication, and structured support, improvements are tangible: sleep patterns stabilize, physical symptoms ease, and quality of life improves. Treating the mind helps heal the body too.

Scientists discover 42,000-year-old ‘crayon’ — colouring a new picture of early humans

Archaeologists have discovered a 42,000-year-old yellow ochre stick in Crimea and Ukraine, suggesting Neanderthals possessed artistic capabilities. This ancient tool, meticulously shaped and reused, indicates symbolic behavior and creativity, challenging the long-held perception of Neanderthals as less sophisticated than early humans. The find suggests a rich Neanderthal art scene predating Homo sapiens.

Mahindra XEV 9S Is A New 7 Seater Electric SUV Above 9e

Mahindra XEV 9S Is A New 7 Seater Electric SUV Above 9e

Mahindra will showcase its next big product: the XEV 9S, which is the 7-seater, three-row version of the XEV 9e. Just like the XEV 9e, the 9S is based on the Inglo architecture and is pure electric, while we expect two battery packs too.  The XEV 9S, being a pure electric SUV, will have a flat floor and sliding second row seats.  Mahindra has not revealed any more details, but the XEV 9S will borrow some of the look of the XEV 9e without the coupe-like styling, of course, while there would be a new rear design, which will have a taller roofline for more space. The styling would be expected to be like the XEV at the front, which means a blanked off look plus a light bar, along with gloss black trim.  We expect the 9S to be even longer than the 9e, with more wheelbase to accommodate the third row. This new product would be the third such offering on the new electric platform that Mahindra offers after the XEV 9e and BE6.  In terms of the equipment list, the XEV 9S will have more rear seat-focused features, we guess and could get more features. Although some like the three screens, including one for the passenger, would be there too. We will get more details like the range and the features of the car later, leading up to the launch, which is on the 27th of November.  This new SUV won't have many rivals since three-row seating with an electric SUV is now available in this segment.
