Swara Bhasker Reflects On Parenthood: ‘It Flips Your World, Everything Feels More Meaningful’

Swara Bhasker and Fahad Ahmad have been devotedly embracing their parenting duties for their daughter, Raabiyaa. The couple is currently appearing on Pati Patni Aur Panga, and the latest episode turned out to be quite an emotional one for them. In the episode, celebrity pairs Gurmeet Choudhary and Debina Bonnerjee, Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla, and Sudesh and Mamta Lehri faced the ultimate challenge of managing a ‘baby’ while juggling household chaos. For Swara, the cheerful and light-hearted segment quickly turned emotional when she saw the infants, reminding her of her own daughter waiting at home. As she watched the chaos unfold, she reflected on her journey of motherhood from sleepless nights to moments of pure joy, and how little Raabiyaa had deepened her bond with Fahad. “Parenthood flips your world upside down, but in a way that makes everything feel more meaningful. Like every couple, Fahad and I have our differences; we don’t always agree on everything, but when it comes to our daughter, we’re one team, always. We’ve found our own way as parents and the way he steps in, encourages me, understands the madness of my work life it makes me feel seen and supported every single day,” she said. Swara Bhasker On Her Bond With Fahad Ahmad Swara Bhasker added that sometimes she just watches Fahad play with Raabiyaa. Those everyday things make her fall more in love with him than before. For them, parenting has not just been about raising a child, but also about growing together, finding patience, and rediscovering joy, and this assignment on the show immediately reminded her of the small, precious heartbeat waiting for her at home. Swara Bhasker’s Life Lately Swara and Fahad first met during a demonstration and dated for some time before making their relationship public. The couple tied the knot on February 16, 2023, and welcomed their daughter, Raabiyaa, in September of the same year. Meanwhile, Swara Bhasker has been away from the film industry for quite some time. She was last seen in the 2018 film Veere Di Wedding, which also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sonam Kapoor.

Why Suryakumar Yadav Shouted At Shivam Dube During 4th T20I Against Australia

Known for his affable personality, Suryakumar Yadav on Thursday lost his temper at India teammate Shivam Dube during the fourth T20I against Australia at the Carrara Oval in Queensland. Surya gave the all-rounder a piece of his mind after gifting a boundary to Marcus Stoinis. The incident occurred after the final delivery of the 12th over as Dube bowled a short delivery to Stoinis and allowed the new batter to free his arm as he swatted the ball away for a four over backward point. This broke a sequence of three fine deliveries from the medium pacer who had conceded a six off the second delivery to Tim David before removing the danger man off the next. Dube followed that with a couple of dot deliveries in what was a crucial phase of the contest where India had set Australia 168 to win. Surya was seen shouting at Dube while venting his frustration at the poor delivery. The over ended as Dube took an important wicket but also conceded 11 runs with Australia 95/4 in 12 overs and needing 73 runs to win off 48 balls. The hosts were eventually bowled out for 119 in 18.2 overs with Washington Sundar taking three wickets in eight deliveries while Axar Patel and Shivam Dube finishing with two wickets each. India won the contest by 48 runs to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. With the opening match of the series being washed out due to rain, India now have an unbeatable lead going into the final match of their white-ball tour of Australia. “167 on this ground is definitely a good score because the quality bowling we have, the spinners, the fast bowlers…I trust them and the whole team trust our bowlers,” Dube told reporters after the match. “Definitely it’s a T20 game and any of the batter can come and smack but on this ground where the side boundaries are big, we had planned it very nicely and we had confidence that we can stop them,” he added. The fifth T20I will be played at The Gabba in Brisbane On Saturday.

Houston Rockets Not Interested In Trading For Memphis Grizzlies’ Ja Morant

The Houston Rockets are not interested in trading for Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant, sources told DallasHoopsJournal. Sam Amick of The Athletic was the first to report on the Rockets’ lack of interest in a Morant trade. Many people around the NBA connected the Rockets to Morant since Fred VanVleet will miss the season recovering from his ACL tear. However, Houston has no interest in breaking up its roster and parting ways with future draft picks for Morant, who signed a five-year, $197 million extension with Memphis in 2022. Morant will make $39.4 million this season, $42.2 million in the 2026-27 season and $44.9 million in the 2027-28 season, which is the final year of his contract. The Rockets are 5-2 on the season. They have no reason to make changes to their roster. Ime Udoka’s group is first in the NBA in points per game, fifth in points per game allowed, first in offensive rating, fifth in defensive rating and first in net rating. The Grizzlies recently suspended Morant one game due to conduct detrimental to the team. Morant doesn’t have a good relationship with head coach Tuomas Iisalo, sources said. Morant has only led the Grizzlies to the second round of the playoffs once. The Murray State product, who won the 2021-22 Most Improved Player of the Year Award, is averaging 20.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 7.3 assists this season while shooting 38.3% from the field, 14.0% from beyond the arc and 95.8% from the free-throw line. Morant, 26, has career averages of 22.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 7.4 assists in the NBA. He was the second overall pick in the 2019 draft. The Minnesota Timberwolves and Sacramento Kings are monitoring the Morant situation with the Grizzlies, per Amick. Morant doesn’t have a no-trade clause in his contract.

Shefali Shah On 8-Hour Shift Debate In Bollywood: ‘Male Actors Come Late...’

Shefali Shah has expressed her views on the ongoing eight-hour shift demand in Bollywood. In a recent interview, the actress, who is gearing up for the release of Delhi Crimes 3, shared that the discussion regarding long shift hours in Bollywood was much needed. “We are reasonable people. So, we realise [the need to accommodate] if a location is not available tomorrow or something has to be done now. But it can’t be the norm,” she told Mid-Day. “I take one-and-a-half hours to reach the set and the same time to return. For those hours on set, I give it my all. I go back home, and hopefully, I can go to the gym because that’s part of my job. Then I will shower, eat, go back to the script, and then wake up the next morning for another day of work. How many hours of sleep am I getting? And how are you expecting me to come with my A-game?” Shah added. Shefali mentioned that with the long work hours, it is not just the actor who suffers but also the crew. “On one of the last films I shot for, which had a 10-hour schedule, some of the ADs said, ‘Thank God, she leaves because that way we get to go.’ The rest of the crew doesn’t get paid extra [for the overtime]. Is it fair to them?” she shared. Shefali further took a dig at the male actors who arrive late for the shoot and added, “We [female actors] are talking about eight hours and 10 hours contractually, but have we even accounted for the number of hours some male actors come late? That’s not even considered!” For the unversed, the work-life balance in Bollywood started after Sandeep Reddy Vanga removed Deepika Padukone from Prabhas starrer Spirit earlier this year. Reports suggest that her demands, including eight-hour workdays, a high salary, and a share in the film’s profits, did not sit well with director Vanga. Deepika, a new mother, is reportedly seeking to balance her work and personal life by reducing her working hours. Several celebrities, including Vikrant Massey, Rashmika Mandanna, Yami Gautam and Anurag Basu, have come out in support of Deepika amid the ongoing discussion. “Today, the whole country is debating about flexible hours, but that is for discussion amongst the teams and figuring out what works for them. It’s their personal choices,” Rashmika said recently during an interview with Mojo Story.

Jury awarded $118 million in damages to 7 victims of 2020 Watson Grinding explosion

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- On Thursday, a Harris County jury awarded $118 million in damages to seven victims of the Watson Grinding explosion. The explosion at the Watson Grinding plant on Gessner near Clay in January 2020 damaged hundreds of homes, killed three people, and injured more than a dozen. "I was blown into a standing position out of my bed," Alicia Detamore, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, said. Detamore and her roommate, Suzanne Slavinsky, were forced to leave their home for over a year. The blast was later traced to a loose hose leaking propylene, which the U.S. Chemical Safety Board said ignited when a Watson Grinding employee flipped a light switch. Investigators say the plant's gas detection system never sounded, which is why attorneys sued 3M, the company responsible for inspecting it. They say a 3M technician gave the gas detection system the all-clear just six months before the explosion. "What you've done is you've slapped a sticker on it. You said that it's good to go and it was never good to go," attorney Ryan Loya said. Attorneys say a red 'out of service' tag should have been placed on the gas detection system, alerting plant employees that the system wasn't functioning. "Such a simple job as to seeing it's not working and all you have to do is put a red tag on it? And you could have saved all of this. Our worlds will never be the same," Slavinsky said. One woman was left with long-term brain damage. Slavinsky and Detamore say they suffer from PTSD. "How many companies across the country are relying on them to make things safe, and right now, are they safe?" Detamore said. 3M sent Eyewitness News the following statement: "We disagree with the verdict in this case and believe that it is unsupported by the evidence and the law. We will be appealing." However, attorneys say the evidence shows 3M's technician didn't act in a reasonable manner. "He sat on the stand," attorney Robert Kwok said. "He wouldn't make any kind of eye contact with the jury. He would just look down and he seemed pretty defeated in his testimony."

KBVO Game of the Week: Weiss hands Anderson first loss of the season in finale 28-7

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Anderson's bid for an undefeated regular season was spoiled by a hungry Weiss squad Thursday night at The Pfield in Pflugerville. The Wolves upset the eighth-ranked Trojans 28-7 behind four touchdown passes from sophomore Jaxon Schad, three of which went to his older brother Dallas Schad. Weiss bounced back from a 35-31 loss to College Station last week. A win over the Cougars would have set up Thursday's showdown as one for a share of the District 12-5A1 championship, but the Wolves stubbed their toe. They didn't on Thursday, however. Up 21-7 with less than five minutes left in the game, Weiss iced the ballgame with a 79-yard pass from Jaxon Schad to Tre Moore. It was the only touchdown for the Wolves not scored by two Schads. The Jaxon-Dallas connection accounted for the others. The first came early in the second quarter on an 8-yard pass, and the second was just before the halftime horn. Jaxon had to escape a collapsing pocket, and after he squirted away from the Anderson pass rush, he zipped a 19-yard pass toward the end zone that Dallas jumped up to snag. Weiss led 14-0 at halftime. The duo found each other again with 7:40 left in the game. Jaxon laid a ball up near the front left corner of the end zone, and Dallas ran underneath it with a sliding grab, dragging his toe behind him to make it a legal catch. The 18-yard score was set up by perhaps the most exciting play of the night, a 58-yard run by Elijah Jasper that had the look of a negative play when it began. Jasper broke four Anderson tackles just to make it beyond the line of scrimmage, and then he rumbled down the sideline for a huge play to set up the Wolves' final touchdown of the game. Weiss (8-2, 5-2) finished fourth in the district and will take on La Porte, the District 11-5A1 champion, in the bi-district round of the playoffs. A date and time for the game have yet to be announced. Anderson (9-1, 7-1) will, at worst, share the district title with A&M Consolidated. The Tigers play Lockhart on Friday. It's the second time in school history the Trojans have won at least a share of the district championship. They'll have the top seed out of the district to the bi-district round, and they'll play Friendswood at 3 p.m. Saturday at House Park.

KIev fails to break through Russian defenses near Peschanoye — expert

LUGANSK, November 7. /TASS/. Ukrainian forces tried in vain to break through Russian defenses near the liberated settlement of Peschanoye in the Kharkov Region in the past day, military expert Andrey Marochko told TASS. "In the past day, Ukrainian militants made several unsuccessful attempts to break through our defenses near the settlement of Peschanoye in the Kharkov Region. Their small maneuverable groups, backed by artillery and drone units, attacked Russian positions northeast of Kurilovka and south of Peschanoye. All attacks were repelled, and the enemy failed to break through the defense line," he said. Marochko added that Kiev’s attacks near Peschanoye were aimed at cutting off Russian logistics routes in the area and retaking positions in the settlement. The Russian Defense Ministry reported the liberation of Peschanoye in the Kharkov Region on October 17.

Silver was available at Rs 1,52,600 per kg. On the MCX, gold was up by 0.24% to trade at Rs 1,20,900 per 10 grams for the December 5 contracts in the futures market, while silver was trading higher by 0.94% to trade at Rs 1,47,972 per kg.

Despite the selling pressure, gold and silver remain well-supported at lower levels. The dollar index has eased from its 3-month peak, and uncertainty around the U.S. government shutdown is driving investors toward safe-haven assets. Rising geopolitical tensions are also lending support. Technically, gold’s key make-or-break level stands at $3,855, while silver is defending the $46.70 support zone.” What Factors Affect Gold Prices In India? International market rates, import duties, taxes, and fluctuations in exchange rates primarily influence gold prices in India. Together, these factors determine the daily gold rates across the country. In India, gold is deeply cultural and financial. It is a preferred investment option and is key to celebrations, particularly weddings and festivals. With constantly changing market conditions, investors and traders monitor fluctuations closely. Staying updated is crucial for effectively navigating dynamic trends. (With inputs from agencies)

NCERT’s New Class 7 Maths Textbook Highlights India’s Early Contributions To Algebra & Geometry

The recently released Class 7 mathematics textbook by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) features several references to India’s ancient contributions to the field. It states that many key mathematical concepts, including algebra, were first developed by Indian mathematicians, according to a report by The Indian Express. This is the second part of NCERT’s Ganita Prakash textbook for Class 7. The first part, released earlier this year, also highlighted India’s mathematical heritage. The newly released Part 2 draws from Sanskrit texts, includes problems inspired by the work of ancient Indian scholars, and even discusses an early Indian text on geometry. One chapter in the book talks about integers, which are positive and negative numbers. It mentions the 7th-century mathematician Brahmagupta and his well-known text Brahmasphutasiddhanta. The textbook says this was the first time anyone clearly explained how to multiply and divide positive and negative numbers. It describes this as an important milestone in the history of mathematics because it helped shape both arithmetic and algebra. The chapter also includes Brahmagupta’s rules for these calculations and gives students a problem based on his methods. It adds that India’s work in algebra was among the earliest known in the world. A section on algebraic equations refers to ‘bijaganita’, a term now associated with algebra, and notes that “forming expressions using symbols and solving equations with such expressions was an important part of mathematical studies in ancient India”. The textbook explains how Brahmagupta worked with unknown quantities represented by letters, describing it as one of the earliest known examples of algebraic thinking. The book goes on to trace how Indian mathematical ideas travelled to the Arab world. “In the 8th century, Indian mathematical ideas were translated into Arabic,” it says, adding that these influenced Al-Khwarizmi, a mathematician from present-day Iraq. Around 825 CE, Al-Khwarizmi wrote Hisab al-jabr wal-muqabala, which means “calculation by restoring and balancing”. The textbook notes that his work was translated into Latin by the 12th century and spread to Europe. “The word al-jabr from his book gave us the word algebra, which we still use today,” it adds. It also lists the symbols that Indian mathematicians from Brahmagupta’s era used to represent unknowns and gives an example of a maths problem from Bijaganita, written by Bhaskaracharya in the 12th century. ALSO READ: JNUSU Polls: Left Unity Sweeps All 4 Central Posts After Close Contest With ABVP A chapter on geometry titled Constructions and Tilings describes the Sulba-Sutras, ancient Indian texts that explained how to construct perpendicular lines and bisectors using ropes. “Ancient mathematicians from different civilisations, including India, knew exact methods to construct perpendiculars and bisectors. In India, the earliest known texts containing these methods are the Sulba-Sutras, which deal with the construction of fire altars for rituals,” it says. The earlier Class 7 mathematics textbook did not contain any references to ancient Indian scholars. NCERT has been releasing new textbooks in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework, both of which call for including ‘Indian Knowledge Systems’ in school education.

100 flights delayed at Delhi Airport due to a technical issue with ATC system

New Delhi [India], November 7 (ANI): At least 100 flights were delayed on Friday morning at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) due to a technical issue with the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system, according to Delhi Airport.Passengers have been advised to contact their respective airlines for the latest flight updates.In a post on X, Delhi Airport shared, “Due to a technical issue with the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system, flight operations at IGIA are experiencing delays. Their team is actively working with all stakeholders, including DIAL, to resolve it at the earliest.” Passenger Advisory issued at 08:34 Hours#DelhiAirport #PassengerAdvisory #DELAdvisory pic.twitter.com/ckfpibIazv — Delhi Airport (@DelhiAirport) November 7, 2025 “Passengers are advised to stay in touch with their respective airlines for the latest flight updates. We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused,” the post read. Air traffic control (ATC) refers to a ground-based service in which controllers manage and guide the movement of aircraft both on the ground and within controlled airspace.Meanwhile, earlier, Air India introduced a “Flexi Contract for Pilots,” a new work model that allows flight crew to choose shorter duty patterns while maintaining operational smoothness. The airline says the plan aims to match pilots’ preferences with roster needs, focusing on work-life balance without compromising efficiency.Under the policy, Line Pilots and Line Training Captains on A320, B777 and A350 fleets are eligible. Junior First Officers, Type Rating Instructors and Direct Entry pilots are not. The contract offers two fixed patterns: for wide-body aircraft, 15 days on and 15 days off; for narrow-body aircraft, 20 days on and 10 days off. Annual leave aligns with these rosters–eight privilege and four sick leaves for wide-body pilots, and 12 privilege plus six sick leaves for narrow-body colleagues. The contract tenure will be 12 months, which can be extended at the company’s discretion. After the contract ends, pilots return to their original terms.Air India states that selection is made through an Expression of Interest process, with seniority and operational needs guiding the final list. An exit needs three months’ notice. If a pilot is selected for a fleet or command upgrade, the pilot returns to the original contract from the start of training; if an upgrade is refused, the existing career policy on freezes applies. The company may also revert a pilot to the old contract if required, and this does not change pay terms that applied before switching to flexi terms. (ANI)

According to forex traders, the Indian rupee was also weighed down amid intense selling in domestic equity markets and upward movement in crude oil prices in the overseas market. At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 88.61 and slid further to trade at 88.66 against the greenback in early deals, registering a loss of 3 paise from its previous closing level.

Gunupur admin cracks down on illegal clinics

Gunupur: Gunupur Sub-Collector Dudhal Abhishek Dilip Thursday conducted raids on several clinics and pathology labs operating illegally in Gunupur town of Rayagada district. During the inspection, the sub-collector ordered sealing of several unlicensed clinics and directed Gunupur Model PS officials to initiate legal action against their owners. He also wrote to the Chief District Medical and Public Health Officer (CDM & PHO) of Rayagada to send an expert team to verify the documents of all such unregistered clinics and laboratories in the area. According to reports, several unauthorised practitioners or quacks had been running clinics across Gunupur and exploiting patients financially under the garb of treatment. Complaints of malpractice and life-threatening negligence had reached the administration, prompting Thursday’s crackdown. The sub-collector, accompanied by police, raided multiple clinics and laboratories, including MM Medics Clinic, Amulya Bharat, Joseph Sabar, Ananta Das, Amma Clinic, and Radhika Doctors’ Chamber at Old Gunupur, Bypass Road, Old Bus Stand, and near Girl’s High School Square. He found patients lying on cots and undergoing treatment at these facilities and directed the SDMO to immediately shift them to Gunupur Government Hospital. All identified illegal clinics were sealed and similar raids would continue across the subdivision, he said. The administrative action has sent shockwaves among the unlicensed medical operators. Meanwhile, locals have questioned why the health department failed to act for years despite numerous illegal clinics operating openly. Local intelligentsia demanded a high-level inquiry to identify and regulate all clinics in the town. The sub-collector’s initiative has been widely appreciated by citizens and social groups.

Trump expects many countries to join Abraham Accords with Israel

WASHINGTON, November 7. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump expects many countries to join the Abraham Accords on normalizing relations with Israel. "I just held a great call between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, of Israel, and President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, of Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan is the first country of my second term to join the Abraham Accords, the first of many," he wrote on the Truth Social platform. "This is a major step forward in building bridges across the world. Today, more nations are lining up to embrace peace and prosperity through my Abraham Accords. We will soon announce a signing ceremony to make it official, and there are many more countries trying to join this club of strength," Trump added. The Axios news website reported earlier, citing sources, that Kazakhstan intended to join the agreements. The Kazakh presidential press service confirmed the plans, saying that it was "a logical continuation" of the country’s foreign policy. Kazakhstan and Israel established diplomatic relations in 1992. Axios notes that "this is going to show that the Abraham Accords is a club that many countries want to be a member of." The US brokered the Abraham Accords between Israel and several Arab countries in 2020-2021. In 2020, Israel normalized relations with Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco. In 2021, Sudan established diplomatic relations with the Jewish state. Prior to the Abraham Accords, Israel only had diplomatic relations with Egypt, established in 1979, and Jordan, established in 1994, among the Arab states.
