In a touching story from Madurai, Tamil Nadu, a family honored the last wish of their beloved 96-year-old mother and grandmother, Nagammal, during her funeral. Nagammal, who was the wife of a temple priest, wanted her farewell to be a joyful celebration filled with songs and dances, not sadness.

Before she passed away due to age-related health issues, Nagammal told her family that she wanted to be remembered with happiness. She had two sons, four daughters, and a large number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren—78 in total!

To celebrate her life, the family organized a lively ceremony with music and dance performances. Younger family members and local kids showcased their talents, performing folk dances like Kummi, a traditional dance from Tamil Nadu.

What began as a funeral quickly transformed into a joyous gathering that felt like a village fair. The family joyfully said goodbye to Nagammal, just as she wished, while some traditional mourning songs were played at the end to honor her.

The community loved how the family turned a typically sad event into a celebration of life. It became a powerful reminder that death is a natural part of life that can be celebrated instead of mourned. Photos and videos of the celebration have gone viral on social media, sparking conversations around celebrating life during natural deaths.

A UX designer from Gurugram has shared his personal story after a tragic event involving a techie in Bengaluru. Alok Mittal claims his wife, Mansi, has been harassing him with false accusations about dowry and domestic violence. They started living apart just six months after their marriage.

The Timeline of Events
Alok married Mansi Aggarwal in May 2023. Soon after, he lost his job but found out they were expecting a baby. Alok says Mansi pressured him to find a job quickly. After five months of searching, he got a job in Bengaluru in November 2023, but Mansi refused to move with him because she was pregnant. Instead, she returned to her parents’ home.

When Alok went to Delhi to bring her back in December, Mansi and her family became aggressive. They even wanted him to quit his new job, and Alok claims he faced threats from them. He suggests that Mansi has filed false cases against him in different cities.

In his posts, Alok mentions that Mansi works and earns ₹80,000 a month but still asks for ₹1.5 lakh every month as maintenance and ₹1 crore in compensation. They now have a 10-month-old son, but Alok says he can’t see him because Mansi won’t let him. She uses the child as a way to manipulate him, says Alok.

If he doesn’t contact her, her family accuses him of abandoning them. Alok believes Mansi hasn’t filed for divorce yet because she knows it might not end well for her. He expresses that she will lose out if she does. Alok feels trapped, wishing to move on with his life.

An Instagram influencer recently got into serious trouble with the police for doing a dangerous stunt. He filmed himself throwing ₹20,000 (a lot of money!) on the side of the road as part of a challenge called #MoneyHunt. This risky act caused a lot of chaos, making it unsafe for drivers and pedestrians.

The police quickly took action and arrested him for being irresponsible. They tweeted, “Irresponsible Instagram Content Creator Arrested.” The police explained that this kind of behavior is not only dangerous but sends a bad message to others. They believe social media should be used to inspire and educate instead of causing harm.

In the video, the influencer starts by inviting people to search for cash he hid in a bush. The next part of the video shows him being arrested. Many people online supported the police for taking action. One user said he tricked many innocent people and should stay in jail longer. Another pointed out that he encouraged kids to gamble. Others praised the police for handling the situation swiftly.

The whole incident serves as a reminder to be responsible when creating content online!

A man with a huge Great Dane on a plane has caused a lot of people to complain online. Recently, a content creator named Rob posted a video on Instagram showing this man bringing his Great Dane as an “emotional support animal” (ESA) onto a commercial flight.

In the video, the flight attendant seemed surprised when the massive dog stepped on her foot, crying out in pain, “Ow!” The dog owner quickly apologized. Rob asked in his post, “Have we taken this support animal thing too far?”

Many people on social media reacted negatively, agreeing that a dog this big shouldn’t be on a plane. One person wrote, “Emotional support for one person, emotional stress for everyone else! This is ridiculous.” Another person noted that this dog didn’t look like a trained therapy animal.

Support animals, especially in the U.S., have become a big topic. While some believe they help people, others feel that not every pet deserves the same privileges as trained service animals. The video gathered about 3.6 million views, with some people even saying the flight attendant was overreacting.

Great Danes are one of the largest types of dogs. They can weigh between 110 to 180 pounds (50 to 82 kg) and stand 30 to 34 inches tall. They originally came from Germany and were bred to hunt large animals like wild boar.

On December 28, Hong Kong will host its very first drone show featuring fireworks! This exciting event will happen at 8:15 p.m. in the West Kowloon Cultural District. The show is part of the fun “Panda Go! Fest HK” exhibition, which has displayed 2,500 panda sculptures in popular tourist spots all month, as reported by the South China Morning Post.

Organized by AllRightsReserved, the 10-minute show will use 1,000 drones that will create amazing panda images and special designs representing Hong Kong. It will be different from normal drone shows because it will include fireworks shooting up from the drones!

The show will have seven parts, and three of those will feature exciting fireworks effects like waterfall lights and blinking colors. Each part will last between 20 and 50 seconds. One special highlight will be a 3D panda along with characters from “Panda Friends and Family Hong Kong,” featuring the six pandas in the park.

Everyone is invited to come and watch the show, and more details about where to see it will be shared later.

The Panda Go! Fest Adventure

This panda exhibition started earlier in December and has shown 2,500 panda sculptures at four major tourist locations. It kicked off at the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui on December 7 and 8, then moved to Ngong Ping 360, and will be at Ocean Park this weekend. The final stop will be Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park on December 25 and 26.

As part of the event, 1,000 panda sculptures and 10 special figures were auctioned off, raising HK$923,700 (about US$118,800) to help support panda conservation at Ocean Park. Winners will receive their sculptures after the exhibition ends in Sai Ying Pun.

The “panda economy” got a boost when twin panda cubs were born at the park in August. Plus, a pair of pandas, An An and Ke Ke, came to Hong Kong as a special gift from Beijing in September.

This new drone show is highly anticipated, especially after a previous National Day event on October 1 was partially canceled due to weather interference. People are excited to see this unique combination of entertainment and conservation!

Many people are talking about an issue with flight prices in India. A user on social media pointed out that a ticket on Indigo Airlines from Delhi to Kannur in Kerala costs about ₹22,000. Dr. Shama Mohamed, who is part of the Congress party, shared a photo showing this expensive ticket on X, saying that it’s cheaper to fly from India to Dubai than to travel within India.

Dr. Mohamed criticized the rising cost of tickets, mentioning that flying within the country is getting too expensive. She wrote, “Ticket pricing of Indigo from Delhi to Kannur on the 22nd is ₹22,000! It’s cheaper to go to Dubai! This is the problem with having only a few companies managing flights.”

Her post got a lot of attention. Some people agreed, saying that flights are now more costly than ever and hard to afford for most people. Others argued that flying to a less popular place like Kannur right before Christmas would naturally be more expensive because many people want to travel during that time.

One user named Swathi said, “When you book a flight last minute to a small place like Kannur during the Christmas holidays, the price will be high.” Another user pointed out that when Air India was run by the government, flights were cheaper and allowed for more luggage.

Many people feel that since the COVID-19 pandemic, flying has become much more expensive. The high demand for flights, along with fewer available seats, has caused ticket prices to increase sharply. Some users mentioned that ticket prices in India change a lot, especially during holidays, long weekends, and busy travel times.

A 67-year-old woman in Malaysia lost over RM2.2 million (about INR 4.3 crore) to a love scam that lasted nearly ten years! She never met the scammer face-to-face.

It all started back in October 2017 when she connected with a man on Facebook. He pretended to be an American businessman who worked with medical equipment in Singapore. After talking for a month, they formed an online relationship. He claimed he wanted to come to Malaysia but needed help with travel costs. Trusting him, she first sent him RM5,000.

Over the years, the scammer asked for money again and again, saying he had personal problems and business troubles. The woman ended up sending money 306 times to 50 different bank accounts, losing a total of RM2,210,692.60. She even took loans from family and friends to help him.

Throughout this time, she never saw the man’s face or had a video call with him. He always made excuses and only spoke to her through voice calls. The woman finally realized she had been tricked in November after talking to a friend about her situation.

The police are warning people to be careful with online relationships, especially when money is involved. They advise not to rush into serious relationships and to be skeptical if someone asks for money or personal details right away.

A woman named Nimisha Chanda from Bengaluru decided to find a flatmate in a very creative way. She made a fun list of 15 reasons why someone should live with her and her current flatmate, Agrima, in their fully furnished 3BHK flat in HSR Layout.

Nimisha posted on social media, inviting a female roommate to join them. She said, “We are cooler than your ex!” and they have been looking for a third flatmate for a month without any luck.

Here are some highlights from her list:

– Both women work in marketing, so they’ll have lots of cool conversations about startups and creative ideas.
– Their home is a “no-judgment zone,” so you can wear whatever you want, even if that means using the chair as a closet.
– They love listening to music, from hip-hop to ghazals, and have many books to share.
– They enjoy cooking together, going out, and chatting about life and crushes. They promise it will be a fun and supportive atmosphere.
– If you like cats, that’s a big plus, as Agrima loves them.
– They like to keep their home nice and tidy but are not obsessed with cleanliness.

Nimisha’s unique post quickly caught people’s attention online, and many wanted to become their new flatmate. One person even said, “This is the best flatmate pitch I’ve ever seen!”
