June 30, 2023 at 11:37PM Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Friday took a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Manipur visit to Manipur and said that he engages in what he called "vulture tourism". Mr Chandrasekhar accused Mr Gandhi of visiting places where people are suffering instead of actively addressing the long-standing issues in those societies "I find that Rahul Gandhi always has this habit of making these visits almost look like a vulture tourist goes and travels places where suffering is going on. Instead of contributing to decades of tension in some societies that have been ignored by years under the previous government, he goes there for a little vulture tourism visit," Mr Chandrasekhar said. He expressed his hope that Mr Gandhi finds satisfaction in his photo opportunities during his visit and returns to his usual activities during his holidays in foreign countries. "I don't want to comment too much about it. I certainly think tha...

June 28, 2023 at 02:36PM The concept of love languages is well-known on social media and gift-giving is an accepted part of that concept. But Alexander Sway proved that he's a top-tier boyfriend when he went the extra mile with his gift-giving by making his girlfriend a Birkin bag from scratch for her anniversary present. He recently shared videos on social media which went through the steps of how to make the bag and suffice it to say many were impressed. He started the video by sharing that his girlfriend always joked about wanting to have a Birkin bag. When he found that a Birkin bag could cost $100,000, (approximately Rs 82 lakhs), he decided to make one himself and gift that to his girlfriend. Unsurprisingly, his efforts were well-received online.  Also Read:  The Jacquemus SS 2024 Show With A Versailles Lakeside Runway Paid Homage To Princess Diana, With These Celebs Were In Attendance View this post on Instagram A post share...

June 28, 2023 at 07:18PM Australia's David Warner made England pay for dropping him in helpful conditions with a quickfire fifty before the hosts removed Usman Khawaja after protesters briefly disrupted the second Ashes Test at Lord's on Wednesday. It looked like Australia would get through the first day's opening session without losing a wicket when, to what became the last ball before lunch, Josh Tongue bowled Khawaja, playing no shot, for 17 with a delivery that cut back in. Fellow left-handed opener Warner was 53 not out in Australia's total of 73-1. That still represented a good morning's work for Australia, 1-0 up in the five-match series after a thrilling two-wicket win in last week's first Test at Edgbaston. Australia were sent into bat by England captain Ben Stokes on a green-tinged Lord's pitch and under overcast skies that aided the hosts' four-strong frontline pace attack.

June 25, 2023 at 10:20PM Pani Puri is one of those street foods that we love relishing. The cold and spicy water with a crispy poori is soothing to have on a hot day. While we all love a classic pani puri filled with boiled potatoes and spicy water, have you come across a 'banana pani puri'? In a recent food experiment that is going viral on the internet, a street vendor from Gujarat created this offbeat combination. A video shared by Twitter user Mohammed Futurewala showcases a street vendor serving his customers the 'banana pani puri.' The street vendor used bananas instead of using boiled potatoes. The video shows the man peeling bananas into a bowl, he adds chickpeas, spices and coriander leaves to the mix. He then serves the pani puri to the customers.
