    Health Scare at Galaxy Theatre During Pushpa 2 Screening: Police Investigate

    Mumbai Police are looking into a scary incident that happened at Galaxy Theatre in Bandra during the screening of the popular movie Pushpa 2: The Rule. Moviegoers reported that the film stopped for about 15 to 20 minutes right after the break.

    An unknown person sprayed something in the theater, which made people cough, feel sick, and even vomit. One person who watched the movie, Deen Dayal, explained, “We left for a break, and when we came back, we started coughing because of a strange smell. The show stopped for about 10 minutes, and the police came in to check on everyone.”

    Another viewer, Ramzan, added, “When we returned after the break, we started coughing, and I had to go to the bathroom to throw up. The bad smell lasted for about 10 to 15 minutes but went away when the doors were opened. The movie started again after that, and the police are still investigating.”

    In another city, Hyderabad, fans of actor Allu Arjun rushed to the Sandhya theatre to see the same film on its premiere night. Unfortunately, things got out of control, and the police had to use sticks to manage the crowd. Sadly, a woman lost her life, and a child got hurt in the chaos.

    The Deputy Commissioner of Police for Central Zone in Hyderabad said, “We have filed a case against those responsible for the stampede, based on complaints from the family of the deceased. We will take strict action according to the law.”

    Pushpa 2: The Rule is directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Muttamsetty Media. It features Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil in key roles.

    Remembering Dr. B.R. Ambedkar: Mahaparinirvan Diwas 2023

    Mumbai: Remembering Dr. B.R. Ambedkar on Mahaparinirvan Diwas
    On December 6, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar came together at Shivaji Park to honor Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, a key figure in Indian history. This day, known as Mahaparinirvan Diwas, marks the anniversary of Dr. Ambedkar’s passing.

    Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, born on April 14, 1891, was a great lawyer, economic thinker, politician, and social reformer. He fought hard for the rights of Dalits (the lower castes) and worked for equality, women’s rights, and workers’ rights. He dedicated his life to ending caste discrimination and believed in fairness for everyone.

    The term “Mahaparinirvan” means “nirvana after death,” and this day is very important for Buddhists, as it symbolizes liberation from the continuous cycle of life and death. Dr. Ambedkar played a significant role in drafting the Indian Constitution and was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest honor, in 1990.

    Dr. Ambedkar left us on December 6, 1956, in Delhi, but his incredible legacy continues to inspire many today.

  • Nitish Reddy’s Journey: From Kohli Fan to Test Player!

    Nitish Reddy’s Journey: From Kohli Fan to Test Player!

    Nitish Kumar Reddy: From Dreaming of Kohli to Playing Alongside Him

    Nitish Kumar Reddy, a 21-year-old cricketer, recently shared his exciting journey from being a fan of Virat Kohli to making his Test debut for India in Perth. Growing up, Nitish always dreamed of playing cricket with his idol, Virat. He often thought about how old he would be when he finally had the chance to play alongside him before Kohli retired.

    That dream came true when Kohli gave him his first Test cap before India played Australia. India won the match by an impressive 295 runs, starting the series with a big lead. After his debut, a photo of Nitish taking a selfie with Kohli went viral. In the picture, Kohli was a bit far away and not looking at the camera, but Nitish found it special and called it his “safety photo.” He said, “I took this picture because I might not get another chance. It reminds me of my childhood dreams.”

    During the game, Nitish was more excited about Kohli’s performance than his own. Nitish shared, “I was watching Kohli closely as he approached his hundred. I didn’t even realize I was close to my own fifty. I was so thrilled when he scored his 81st hundred—it was an amazing moment!”

    KL Rahul’s Helpful Advice

    Nitish also talked about how he felt nervous being around more experienced players. But KL Rahul helped him feel comfortable. “At first, I was worried about talking to everyone. I always felt good talking to KL bhai. He gives me great advice,” Nitish explained.

    One important tip from Rahul stuck with Nitish: “Macha, when you’re out there, don’t rush. Just take it slow.” This was helpful for him, especially since everything felt so fast during his first match. He was thankful for Rahul’s support.

  • 13 Children Dead in Mexico from Contaminated IV Bags – Investigating Outbreak

    13 Children Dead in Mexico from Contaminated IV Bags – Investigating Outbreak

    Mexican health officials have reported the sad news that 13 children have died in hospitals in central Mexico. Their deaths may have been caused by contaminated IV bags used in four health centers. The children were all very young, some even infants, and they were receiving treatment for various illnesses.

    Health experts believe that an outbreak of a bacteria called Klebsiella oxytoca may be behind these deaths. So far, 20 cases of this bacteria have been identified, with 15 confirmed, while four are likely cases, and one has been ruled out. Unfortunately, 13 children have already died, and seven are still in the hospital.

    To protect public health, Mexico’s health ministry has sent out an alert. They also told health inspectors to stop using intravenous solutions from a company called Productos Hospitalarios until they figure out what is happening. The health ministry is working hard to find the source of this outbreak and has asked every healthcare worker to report any new cases they find. They want to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

  • India vs Australia: Dravid Reflects on Historic Adelaide Partnership

    India vs Australia: Dravid Reflects on Historic Adelaide Partnership

    India is leading the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 1-0 and is all set to play against Australia in the second Test. This match in Adelaide will use a pink cricket ball, just like the one in the previous game. India played strongly in Perth, winning even without their captain, Rohit Sharma, who was away for paternity leave.

    Rahul Dravid, a former Indian cricket player and coach, shared his memories about a fantastic partnership he had with VVS Laxman during the 2003-04 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Dravid remembered a moment when he accidentally got the captain, Saurav Ganguly, run out. He said, “I thought, ‘I made a mistake getting the captain out; I need to do something great now.’”

    During that match, Dravid scored an impressive 233 runs, and he and Laxman built a huge partnership of 303 runs together. When India needed to reply to Australia’s big score of 556 runs, they managed to post 526 runs, thanks to both players’ amazing performances.

    Dravid praised Laxman, saying they had a good understanding after playing many matches together. He explained, “As our partnership grew, batting became easier as the ball got softer.”

    He also showed excitement for the current Indian wicketkeeper, Rishabh Pant. Dravid said, “His performances in Test cricket are incredible! After Dhoni retired, everyone wondered who would replace him, and Pant has really stepped up.”

    In that memorable match, India eventually won by chasing down a target of 230 runs, with Dravid scoring a vital 72 runs in the second innings. Today, Dravid is the Director of Cricket for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL and played an important role in the recent auction in Jeddah.

  • Pink-Ball Tests: Challenging Cricket’s Newest Adventure

    Pink-Ball Tests: Challenging Cricket’s Newest Adventure

    In November 2015, Adelaide hosted the first-ever day-night cricket Test played with a pink ball. It was an exciting match where Australia edged out New Zealand by three wickets on the third day. At that time, many people were unsure if the pink ball would hold up well during the game. There were even talks about players wearing colored uniforms because it was an experiment to attract more fans back to Test cricket.

    Fast forward nearly ten years, and pink-ball Tests have become quite normal. The pink ball now comes with an extra layer of shine, and pitchers prepare the field like they would for a regular red-ball game, leaving less grass on the pitch. Players are ready for the challenges that come with the new ball and the tricky twilight hours. Fans expect that these matches won’t last the full five days, especially in Adelaide.

    Adjusting to a different color ball can be tricky for teams, as Rohit Sharma mentioned while preparing for a match at the Oval, “We know that when we arrive in Adelaide, we’ll play a day-night Test. But we aren’t going to complain; we’ll just focus on the game.”

    India doesn’t play day-night Tests often, but they face the same challenges that Australia does. As assistant coach Abhishek Nayar noted, “Our team always thinks about strategies, whether it’s with a pink ball or red ball. The biggest change comes from our mindset.”

    KL Rahul pointed out that batters sometimes struggle to see the ball clearly, saying it feels harder than the red ball. He shared, “It seems to come at you quicker, and it also seams around more. But I’m excited because it’s my first pink-ball game.”

    Wicketkeeper Alex Carey from Australia added that the changing light can affect how he sees the ball, making it look a bit blurry. “I must focus on watching the ball closely. The pink ball adds a great challenge to the game,” he explained.

    So far, every pink-ball Test has produced results, mostly because the pink ball behaves very differently. Data shows that when Australia plays during the day in Adelaide, they score an average of 41.14 runs while the opposing team averages only 29.95. In contrast, in day-night Tests, Australia’s average drops to 38.81, but the opposition’s average falls all the way down to 20.29.

    Interestingly, when looking at bowling, Australia’s bowlers don’t usually shine in day games but do exceptionally well in day-night matches, averaging just 21.11 runs compared to their opponents’ 43.09.

    This year, the game may take a different turn because India’s bowling attack is just as strong as Australia’s, and their batting seems to be in better shape than the host team. While things may change quickly, India remains confident based on their recent performances in Perth.
