Air travel is the safest statistically, but when disaster does strike, the effects are usually devastating. These five airline disasters not only cost hundreds of lives but also altered global aviation safety procedures forever. 1. Tenerife Airport Disaster (1977) – 583 Deaths The most fatal aviation accident in history didn't occur in flight—it happened on the runway. Two Boeing 747s, both operated by KLM and Pan Am, collided at Tenerife Airport in the Canary Islands on March 27, 1977. The dense fog, miscommunication with the air traffic controller, and an early takeoff were responsible for the ghastly crash. A total of 583 people lost their lives during this accident and led to far-reaching reforms in cockpit communication and air traffic procedures. 2. Japan Airlines Flight 123 (1985) – 520 Fatalities On August 12, 1985, a Boeing 747SR on a flight from Tokyo to Osaka had a spectacular failure of its rear pressure bulkhead.

Cricket, with its glorious unpredictability, has the ability to provide fans with moments that render them speechless, tearful, or leaping off their sofas. In the period between 2020 and 2025, cricket gave us some memories that will never be forgotten. Here are five that really rocked the cricketing world: 1. India's Gabba Miracle Win (2021) Nobody saw it coming. With a second-rate team and without Virat Kohli, India broke through Australia's stronghold—the Gabba—bringing an end to their 32-year unbeaten run at the ground.

No farewell match. Just Dhoni being Dhoni. Fans across the globe were left stunned, nostalgic, and emotional all at once....

India's space odyssey has been nothing short of phenomenal. From modest beginnings in the 1960s to emerging as a space power on the world stage, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has never ceased to amaze. These are five pivotal moments that marked India's celestial legacy: 1. Aryabhata – India's First Satellite (1975) On April 19, 1975, Aryabhata saw India join the space age. Named after the ancient Indian mathematician, it was launched from the Soviet Union and conducted experiments in X-ray astronomy and solar physics. Although it lasted only for a few days, Aryabhata made way for India's satellite technology and subsequent missions. 2. SLV-3 and First Indigenous Launch of India by a Rocket (1980) India successfully launched the Rohini Satellite with the help of the Satellite Launch Vehicle-3 (SLV-3) on July 18, 1980, becoming the sixth country to launch a satellite from an indigenous rocket. Led by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, this project was a leap of gia...

The first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 between India and England at Headingley was a sight to behold in the world of cricket. England recorded a record-breaking run chase of 371 as they clinched victory by five wickets and took a 1–0 lead in the five-match series. India kicked off the match with authority. Shubman Gill (147), Yashasvi Jaiswal (101), and Rishabh Pant (134) centuries drove them to a strong 471 in the first innings. England came back with 465, led by Ollie Pope's 106 and Harry Brook's 99, but Jasprit Bumrah's five-wicket haul left India just ahead. In their second innings, India seemed unfazed with KL Rahul scoring a century (137) and another by Pant (118), leaving England with a challenging target of 371. And then came a masterclass in contemporary Test batting. Ben Duckett's devastating 149 opened the door for England's run-chase. His attacking strokeplay, particularly against Ravindra Jadeja, dismantled India's spin platform. Zak C...

Taking a leap into the future of searching, Google has introduced India to its experimental AI Mode, driven by its newest Gemini 2.5 model. This is not a minor adjustment to the search bar but a vision of a different way of engaging with information. AI Mode is optimized to manage longer, more involved, and sophisticated questions so users can pose questions that have previously needed several searches. Whether you are booking a vacation, researching smartphones, or trying to determine how to repair a leaking faucet, AI Mode can deconstruct your question into subtopics and present a complete, conversational answer. What is so revolutionary about this feature is the fact that it has multimodal capability. You may type, say, or even insert an image to get your question answered. For instance, take a picture of a plant and ask for tips on how to take care of it, or use speech to ask for a list of the top budget laptops for students. The system accesses Google's Knowledge Graph, real-t...

Jeffrey Dahmer, sometimes referred to as the "Milwaukee Cannibal," is still one of the most unsettling players in American criminal history. From 1978 to 1991, Dahmer killed 17 young men and boys, doing things so horrific they stunned even veteran detectives. Dahmer was born on May 21, 1960, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His childhood was spent with emotional neglect and an increasing interest in death. In his teenage years, he experimented with animal corpses, a chilling beginning to his future atrocities. His first victim was a hitchhiker, Steven Hicks, whom he murdered shortly after high school in 1978. Dahmer went eight nearly years without killing until 1987, when he began killing again and his rampage would accelerate. What distinguished Dahmer was not only the quantity of victims, but the gruesome nature of his crimes. He enticed victims—usually from marginalized groups—back to his apartment, where he drugged, strangled, and dismembered them. Most of his subsequent murders ...

India's foreign policy, which was once praised for its strategic autonomy and smooth balancing act between great powers, seems to be facing a crisis of credibility. From strained regional relations to waning strength in multilateral platforms, the cracks are increasingly difficult to disregard. Historically, India enjoyed warm relations with its immediate neighbours under the Neighbourhood First policy. In recent times, however, a visible deterioration of goodwill can be observed. Nations such as Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh—hitherto regarded as close friends—have become increasingly cautious. Border tensions with Nepal, water-sharing issues with Bangladesh, and Bhutan's increasing courtship with China have caused concern. Critics hold that India's belligerent stance, hence frequently viewed as domineering, has pushed its smaller neighbours away. At the international level, India's balancing act between the West and Russia has grown more delicate. As New Delhi strength...
