  • 12 Indian Nationals Found Dead in Georgia: Investigation Underway

    12 Indian Nationals Found Dead in Georgia: Investigation Underway

    In a sad event in Gudauri, Georgia, twelve Indian employees of an Indian restaurant were found dead in their bedrooms. Authorities believe they may have died from carbon monoxide poisoning. At first, there were no signs of hurt or violence on their bodies, as stated by Georgia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs.

    Officials from the Indian embassy in Tbilisi confirmed that all twelve victims were Indian nationals. However, there was some confusion, as Georgia’s report said 11 victims were foreigners and one was a local citizen.

    The Indian embassy expressed deep sorrow over the loss and stated they are working with local authorities to support the families of the deceased. They also promised to offer all possible help.

    Early investigations suggest the poisoning might have happened due to a power generator that was turned on in a closed space near their rooms on Friday night. A forensic team is working to determine the exact cause of death.

    The Georgian police have started an investigation into the incident, focusing on negligent manslaughter as they look into this tragedy further.

  • Anil Kumble Denounces Fake Quotes During Border-Gavaskar Trophy

    Anil Kumble Denounces Fake Quotes During Border-Gavaskar Trophy

    Former Indian cricket captain Anil Kumble is unhappy about people misusing his name and picture on social media. This issue has come up during the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. Some false quotes were shared online that made it seem like Kumble was criticizing famous players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. These fake statements led to a lot of noise and anger among fans.

    Kumble wants to make it clear that he has nothing to do with these quotes or the accounts spreading them. He wrote a message on social media saying, “I want to deny any connection with these fake quotes and accounts. The things being said are not my thoughts or opinions.” He also reminded everyone to be careful and not believe everything they read online. “Please check if the information is real before sharing. My official accounts are the only places where you can find my real views,” he added.

    His statement came while India was struggling in the third Test match against Australia, trailing with a score of 51/4 after Day 3, while Australia scored 445 runs.

    Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has also faced the same problem as Kumble. He recently found a fake article published under his name and reacted quickly by calling it a lie. Gavaskar threatened to take legal action, similar to Kumble’s advice for fans to think critically about the information they see online.

    ARISE 2024: Shaping India’s Future in School Education”

    On December 13 and 14, 2024, the ARISE Annual School Education Conference took place at Hotel Shangri-La Eros, Janpath in New Delhi. This two-day event, held in partnership with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI), gathered over 400 people. They included government officials, teachers, business leaders, and innovators who came together to talk about the future of K-12 education in India.

    The theme for this year was “The Learning Revolution – Breaking Boundaries, Building Futures.” Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan attended and spoke about the importance of improving school education quality. He wants Indian schools to set a global example for innovation and top-notch education, while also encouraging people to be job creators.

    Dr. Jyotsna Suri, who used to lead FICCI, discussed how education is changing. She talked about new teaching methods and the need for helpful policies that support these changes.

    Prabhat Jain, President of ARISE, emphasized how emerging technologies like AI (artificial intelligence) and machine learning can transform education.

    During the conference, participants worked on creating a roadmap for making education more student-centered. They focused on making it easier for students to use technology and encouraged partnerships between public and private sectors. They also emphasized the importance of personalized learning using AI to meet each student’s needs while boosting critical thinking and creativity.

  • MicroStrategy Joins Nasdaq 100: Big Moves in Bitcoin and Stocks!

    MicroStrategy Joins Nasdaq 100: Big Moves in Bitcoin and Stocks!

    MicroStrategy, a software company that also buys a lot of bitcoin, saw its stock price go up about 3% on Monday. This is because the company is joining the Nasdaq 100 index, a group of the biggest tech companies. Now, MicroStrategy will give investors indirect exposure to bitcoin since it owns $44 billion worth of it—around 2% of all bitcoin available.

    With more funds wanting to invest in Nasdaq 100 companies, MicroStrategy’s stock could keep rising. The company’s stock has already shot up nearly 550% this year, thanks to the rising price of bitcoin. Matthew Dibb, an expert from Astronaut Capital, believes this could start a cycle where more money flows into bitcoin, pushing its price up even higher.

    The Invesco QQQ Trust, the fifth largest U.S. exchange-traded fund (ETF), tracks the Nasdaq 100 and has $328 billion in assets. Bitcoin hit a record high of over $106,000 after Donald Trump suggested the U.S. might create a bitcoin reserve like it has for oil. Since adopting bitcoin as a key asset in 2020, MicroStrategy’s stock has gained 3,200%. This year alone, it has more than doubled its bitcoin holdings.

    Despite recently reporting a net loss of $340 million for three months, MicroStrategy’s long-term plan is to buy and hold bitcoin, according to Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani. Their market value is now over $100 billion, more than double the value of their bitcoin stash. Other companies, like Riot Platforms and small biotech firms, are also investing in bitcoin.

    This development in the Nasdaq 100 is significant for the crypto market, and experts expect there will be lots of discussions about MicroStrategy and its founder, Michael Saylor, in the future. Short sellers betting against MicroStrategy have collectively lost $9.7 billion this year. The Nasdaq 100 is also adding Palantir and Axon Enterprise while replacing Illumina, Super Micro, and Moderna. The new index will start trading on December 23, although Super Micro shares dropped by 9.5%.

    Rajya Sabha’s 75-Year Constitution Debate: Rights, Justice, and Unity

    In New Delhi, a discussion in the Rajya Sabha marked 75 years of India’s Constitution. Members from the ruling party talked about the negative effects during the Emergency and praised the removal of Article 370, which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir. They claimed this change, among other benefits, helped improve the rights of Dalits.

    Opposition members argued that the current government is breaking important rules of the Constitution. They suggested that the rights of minorities are under threat, elected governments are falling, and governors are misusing their power.

    Union Minister Hardeep Puri explained that Article 370 was not in line with the ideas of India and was introduced without Parliament’s help. He pointed out that Prime Minister Narendra Modi bravely removed it despite fears that this could cause trouble. Puri also praised government efforts to protect Sikh rights and named December 26 as Veer Bal Diwas.

    Sanjay Jha from JDU spoke about the struggles during the Emergency when people’s rights were taken away. He reminded everyone of the serious riots in Bihar during the Congress party’s rule.

    In contrast, Congress members claimed the current government threatens important institutions. MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi said the Indian Constitution has succeeded for decades, while many other nations have struggled. He emphasized that the Constitution supports diversity and unity, but today there is fear and division among people.

    Singhvi criticized the government’s “bulldozer politics,” which targets specific communities. He claimed governors are acting against elected officials, turning the Constitution’s solid foundation into something weak.

    Mukul Wasnik, a former minister, countered claims about Nehru’s work in Jammu and Kashmir, saying he improved conditions there.

    Independent MP Kapil Sibal raised a big question: “Has the Constitution failed us or have we failed the Constitution?” He pointed out that a small number of people in India hold most of the wealth. He questioned how political justice can exist when governments are dismissed quickly. Sibal also called for a review of how the Election Commission is working

    Manipur CM Addresses Migrant Worker Deaths Amid Ongoing Violence”

    Guwahati: Manipur’s Chief Minister N Biren Singh has said that some groups are sending misleading information to the government in New Delhi. But the Central government has figured this out and is now gathering facts directly from local sources.

    Recently, two migrant workers from Bihar were killed, and seven people have been arrested in connection with these murders. These workers were shot by unknown gunmen in Kakching district on December 14. The Chief Minister suspects that political groups might be involved and stated that they will find out who is responsible.

    Biren Singh condemned the killings, calling them a terrible act of terrorism. He expressed his condolences to the victims’ families, saying that this act goes against our values. The government has announced a payment of Rs 10 lakh (about $12,000) to each family of the victims.

    If necessary, the case will be handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to ensure a complete and fair investigation.

    Recently, after finding the bodies of six missing women and children in Jiribam district, there have been violent reactions. In a separate incident, about ten armed militants were killed in a firefight, leading to injuries among two CRPF officers. A security advisor mentioned that since May 3 last year, 258 people, including militants, have died in the ongoing ethnic conflict between the Meitei and the Kuki-Zo communities. This conflict started after the Meitei community sought more rights, causing unrest in the region.

    Diddy and Kutcher’s Friendship: How Love Changed Everything!

    Sean “Diddy” Combs and Ashton Kutcher were once great friends who loved going out and partying together. They often hit the clubs with Jamie Foxx and enjoyed life like a fun group from a movie, which they called a modern-day “rat pack.”

    However, everything changed when Ashton started dating Demi Moore in 2003. That was when he told Diddy he had fallen in love, and after that, their fun nights out came to an end.

    Even though they stopped partying, their friendship didn’t really fade away. In a 2010 essay, Diddy mentioned that Ashton was still a good friend and someone he could talk to about life and business. They both appreciate each other’s different views.

    But now, Diddy is in big trouble. He is facing serious federal charges for sex trafficking, which he says aren’t true, and he is currently in jail without bail. People are also looking back at his past friendships, including with Ashton. Some things Ashton said about Diddy’s wild parties during a 2019 interview are being talked about again.

    As for Ashton, he married Demi in 2005, but they divorced in 2011. He later married Mila Kunis in 2015, and together they have two kids. Since Diddy’s legal issues began, Ashton hasn’t talked about him in public.

    Assad’s Escape: How He Left Syria Amidst Chaos

    Former Syrian leader Bashar Assad has shared his first comments since being overthrown by rebel groups. He said he had no plans to leave Syria after the fighting reached Damascus.

Assad clarified that he did not leave as part of a pre-planned escape, despite earlier reports.

  • Pujara’s Key Advice to Jaiswal for Facing Starc in Test Cricket

    Pujara’s Key Advice to Jaiswal for Facing Starc in Test Cricket

    Veteran Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara has shared some thoughts about Yashasvi Jaiswal’s batting after he got out early in the first innings of the third Test match in Brisbane. Jaiswal, known for his remarkable century in the second innings at Perth, struggled recently, getting dismissed by Mitchell Starc twice in just three innings.

    In the last match, Jaiswal faced only two balls before getting out for four runs. He tried to hit a ball straight into the air, which Mitchell Marsh caught easily. Pujara, who has a lot of experience batting in Australia, advised Jaiswal to learn from his teammate, KL Rahul. He mentioned that it’s not smart to try to drive the new ball, and Jaiswal needs to wait for balls that are closer to his body to hit.

    Pujara said, “You cannot drive the new ball in Australia. Jaiswal is looking for full deliveries to drive, but it’s really tough to do that. He should only play drives when the ball is close.” He also suggested that Jaiswal should change his mindset and be okay with defending some balls in Test cricket.

    Jaiswal and Starc had some light-hearted moments during the Perth Test, but Starc has since gotten the better of him. Pujara praised Starc’s improved control with the ball, making it hard for left-handed batsmen like Jaiswal to play against him.

    Pujara added that he would prefer KL Rahul to face Starc at the start of the next innings. He believes that if Jaiswal keeps facing Starc first, he might be in trouble again.
