Shocking Incident in Delhi: Woman Assaulted at Farmhouse in Front of Daughter

  Shocking Incident in Delhi: Woman Assaulted at Farmhouse in Front of Daughter On April 27, a shocking crime came to light in New Delhi. A 35-year-old man was arrested for allegedly raping a 30-year-old woman, who was working as a caretaker at a farmhouse. What makes this crime even more heartbreaking is that the assault happened in front of the woman's young daughter. The accused has been caught and is now under police custody. Incidents like these once again show how unsafe women still are, even in a city like Delhi where there are supposed to be strong security systems. It is deeply disturbing that such crimes continue to happen despite so many promises from authorities for better law and order. As a journalism student, I feel angry and sad while reporting this. We have seen many protests, new laws, and campaigns like "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" in the past. Yet, crimes against women are happening again and again. Why? One major reason is the lack of fear of law . ...

Massive Explosion in Iran: The China and Israel Connection

  Massive Explosion in Iran: The China and Israel Connection Recently, a huge explosion happened at a port in southern Iran. It was so powerful that it killed four people and injured more than 700 others . The incident shocked the whole region and has raised many serious questions. Reports say that the blast was linked to a shipment of dangerous chemicals. These chemicals are used to make missile fuel . A private security company, Ambrey, shared that in March, the port received a shipment of sodium perchlorate . This chemical is very important for making rocket propellants, which are used to fire missiles. Interestingly, the shipment of this missile fuel came from China .

AI’s Role in Addressing Global Challenges

  AI’s Role in Addressing Global Challenges Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the biggest inventions of our time. From smartphones to smart homes, AI is everywhere. But AI is not just about making life easier—it is also helping the world solve some really big problems. Today, let’s talk about how AI is playing a huge role in tackling global challenges. One of the most important areas where AI is helping is healthcare . AI tools can quickly scan X-rays and MRI reports, helping doctors find diseases like cancer at an early stage. It can also predict future outbreaks by studying patterns, just like how some AI models warned about COVID-19 spread before it became global news. In countries with fewer doctors, AI can provide faster diagnosis and treatment advice, saving many lives. Another major area is climate change . AI systems are helping scientists track changes in weather, rising temperatures, and melting glaciers. They can also suggest better ways to save energy and reduce...

  The Hidden Cost of Chasing Fame: Lessons from Extreme Cosmetic Transformations In today’s world, where social media defines beauty standards, the story of Australian TikToker Jolene Dawson offers a powerful warning. Spending over ₹6 lakh on experimental cosmetic surgeries to look like a cat, Dawson later admitted she went through these painful changes just to gain attention online. Her journey—from craving online validation to facing irreversible consequences—exposes the dark side of social media influence, mental health struggles, and the growing but often poorly regulated cosmetic surgery industry. While Dawson’s case might sound extreme, it mirrors a disturbing global trend. More and more individuals are opting for drastic cosmetic changes to stand out in an overcrowded digital space. Whether it’s facial fillers or complex surgeries, the rush for online fame leaves lasting physical and emotional scars. Experts have linked this phenomenon to Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and...

When Borders Break Hearts: Watching Pakistani Friends Leave India

  When Borders Break Hearts: Watching Pakistani Friends Leave India By Anshika  This week, something very emotional happened at the Attari-Wagah border . Hundreds of Pakistani nationals had to leave India after the government gave a 'Leave India' notice following the terrible Pahalgam attack . I saw the news, and honestly, it broke my heart a little. There were people crying, hugging each other tightly, promising to meet again someday. Some were students, some were visiting their families, and some were just people who had made a small life here. They were not terrorists. They were just ordinary people, like you and me. Of course, I understand — after what happened in Pahalgam, the government has to think about our security first. That is their duty. And yes, when tensions rise between two countries, sometimes tough decisions must be made. But still, seeing families torn apart, friendships ending in tears, and people forced to leave a place they loved — it made me fee...

Image
  India Celebrates 50 Years of Aryabhata: A Golden Moment for ISRO India recently celebrated a historic milestone — 50 years since the launch of Aryabhata , the country’s first satellite. Launched on April 19, 1975 , Aryabhata marked the beginning of India's journey into space and laid the foundation for what the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has achieved today. Named after the ancient Indian mathematician and astronomer Aryabhata, the satellite was a bold step for a developing country at that time. It showed the world that India was serious about science, technology, and space exploration. The satellite was built entirely in India and launched from the Soviet Union, reflecting the spirit of international cooperation and India's growing capabilities. In these 50 years, ISRO has come a long way. From launching communication satellites to sending missions to the Moon and Mars, India’s space program has become one of the most respected in the world. Aryabhata, though...

Medals, Marks, and Rejections: Bisma Fareed’s Story Proves That Skills Matter More Bisma  Bisma Fareed, a first-year BA English Honours student at Hansraj College, Delhi University, is living a story that many young students can relate to. With 10 medals in academics and extracurricular activities, and excellent grades, she is a perfect example of a hardworking and talented student. But despite all her achievements, Bisma is facing constant rejection when applying for internships. This situation has left her feeling frustrated and helpless. In her own words, she says: " Today, practical experience matters more than medals or marks. " And she is absolutely right. In today’s world, companies are no longer looking only at your certificates or medals. They are searching for real skills — the ability to solve problems, work in a team, communicate effectively, and handle real challenges. They want people who can get the work done , not just those who have good marks. B...

  No Visa Ban for Indian Students, Says Australia Recently, a lot of people were worried because news was spreading that Australia had banned students from some Indian states like Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Jammu and Kashmir.

On April 23, 2025, they said clearly that there is no ban or restriction on Indian students from any state. They said, “The news that students from some Indian states are banned is wrong.” They also said that over 1,25,000 Indian students are already studying in Australia, which is the second-largest group after China. Indian students are very important for Australia’s universities, and visa applications from India are still being processed normally. Even India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) confirmed this. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that giving visas i...
