Heavy rain threw Delhi-NCR into chaos, flooding roads, jamming up traffic, and making it almost impossible for people to get around. Many just gave up on cabs—there were none to be found—or ended up slogging through ankle-deep water, hoping the rain would let up. It was the same story everywhere: “No cabs, waterlogging everywhere,” commuters grumbled, as transport across the city and its outskirts basically ground to a halt. Some of the worst traffic headaches hit places like Mehrauli-Badarpur Road, ITO, and Wazirabad Road. Cars crawled along, stuck in water, and nobody was getting anywhere fast. Office workers, students, anyone…

Chennai: The high-profile divorce case between Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and TVK president C. Joseph Vijay and his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, is officially on hold—at least for now. Sangeetha has withdrawn her divorce petition from the Chengalpattu Family Court, which means the proceedings are over for the time being. The court closed the case after Sangeetha appeared via video call on Friday and told Judge D. Sujatha she didn’t want to move forward. Vijay’s side was notified and asked for a response, but they didn’t raise any objections. So, the court granted Sangeetha’s request and wrapped things up. Still, Sangeetha…

Air India just brought in Tewolde Gebremariam, the former head of Ethiopian Airlines, as its new CEO and Managing Director. That’s a pretty big shift for the Tata-owned airline, and it’s happening as Air India rolls forward with ambitious plans to expand its fleet and grow globally. Gebremariam is taking over from Campbell Wilson, who’s been leading the company since 2022 – that’s right after Air India came back under Tata Group control. Word is, Wilson handed in his resignation back in April. The board made this pick after searching far and wide, weighing both insiders and candidates from outside.…

Crude oil prices climbed on Wednesday during trading hours. Brent crude jumped 1.4%, hitting $80.45 a barrel, and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) went up 0.8% to $76.37, according to the latest numbers. So, what’s behind the move? Traders keep shifting their positions as they try to read the tea leaves on supply, demand, and where the global economy is headed. Brent hung on above $80, while WTI also stayed strong throughout the day. Why Are Prices Ticking Up Right Now? Energy markets are pretty jumpy thanks to ongoing geopolitical issues, signals from big oil-producing countries, and all the usual chatter…

Tamil Nadu’s first Budget under the TVK government made a splash with its mix of generous welfare plans and big promises in education, AI, and financial reform. Still, both the DMK and AIADMK pounced on the document, saying it mostly recycled old ideas with a fresh coat of paint. One of the highlights? Eligible brides will receive an eight-gram gold coin—one full sovereign—and a silk saree through the ‘Annan Seer Thittam’ scheme. That’s not all; Finance Minister Marie Wilson laid out the Budget on Wednesday and set a pretty ambitious goal: build a $1.5 trillion economy by 2031. The bride…

India’s government just kicked off a huge sale of its LIC shares, aiming to raise ₹31,000 crore. They set the floor price at ₹382 per share, which sent LIC stock tumbling—almost 9% down in one day, as investors weren’t thrilled with the discount or the flood of shares hitting the market. If buyers show up for the full offer, this sale will rank among the government’s biggest divestment moves this year. The process rolls out in two steps: institutional investors got first crack on August 4, with retail investors following on August 5. Here’s how the deal is structured: up…

Samsung might be gearing up for something pretty different in its smartwatch lineup. The company is rumored to be working on a device codenamed Galaxy Aero, and—this is the interesting part—it may ditch Google’s Wear OS in favor of a real-time operating system (RTOS). The clue? Folks dug up references to “galaxy_rtos_watch” in the code for Samsung’s Galaxy Wearable app. That points to Samsung experimenting with a more lightweight operating system for its next wearable. Galaxy Aero looks like it’ll slot right between the upcoming Galaxy Fit 4 fitness tracker and the recently launched Galaxy Watch FE. So imagine something…

Iran is quietly thinking about letting European countries help clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz—something that could take some heat out of one of the world’s most tense shipping routes, according to Bloomberg. This shift comes as diplomats scramble ahead of Tuesday, the deadline President Trump set. He’s threatened U.S. airstrikes if Tehran doesn’t quickly agree to reopen the waterway. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC on Tuesday that a deal to restore normal shipping might even come together “today or tomorrow.” Publicly, Iran keeps insisting it won’t let foreign powers get involved with demining the strait. Privately,…

The Delhi Police dropping charges against a 15-year-old girl for swearing at Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not a simple act of forgiveness, but a much-needed step when questions are being raised over Indian democracy. It’s not about who is right or wrong; what this girl did was not acceptable, and it becomes a bigger trouble when the protest at Jantar Mantar was all about non-violence. Though the recent dropping of charges highlights something bigger: how law, public outrage, and politics rarely move in sync—especially today, when outrage goes viral in a heartbeat. This all kicked off after a video…

With subsystem design underway and the first module set for 2028, the Bharatiya Antariksh Station is quietly inching closer to becoming India’s own address in orbit. This station isn’t just a talking point anymore—not just a slide in a PowerPoint or a punchline in a patriotic speech. The BAS project is now deep in the weeds: engineers wrangling with technical drawings, specifications, stacks of paperwork—the stuff that actually gets things built. According to the latest update to Parliament, ISRO has wrapped up the Baseline Design Review and system engineering for BAS-01, the first of five planned modules. An expert committee…
