What did the girl do? — kittu (@bhavisha333) October 30, 2025 This is where the video takes a funny turn. Usually people get angry in such situations, but this girl does something different. She stopped in the same place and waited. After a while the same car comes back. Standing in the middle of the road, she stops him by waving a stone in her hand. The driver gets scared and stops the car. What happens next leaves everyone stunned. Without saying a word, the girl asks the driver to get out of the car. Surprisingly, the driver also gets off without any protest. The girl moved him aside and sat in the driver’s seat. There is a twist in the story. She starts the car and drives fast on the same muddy road. Within minutes, mud spills out and falls on the driver. This is how she takes revenge.

Still some people say that the girl learned the lesson very wisely. Share this story Tags

Some interesting scenes are witnessed in Delhi Metro every day. Sometimes a passenger is seen singing a song and sometimes dancing. But this incident has sparked a lot of discussion on social media. Actually, there was a sudden argument between two passengers sitting on a metro seat which turned into a fight within a few minutes. The video starts with two passengers sitting on one seat. At first they seem to be having a small fight over some issue, but within a few minutes the situation changes completely. A young man sitting next to a woman suddenly becomes angry. He gets up angrily and without any hesitation starts hitting the man sitting next to him. How the fight started Kalesh b/w Two guys inside Delhi Metro about pushing and shoving: pic.twitter.com/BZ0CdTGvMY— Ghar Ke Kalesh (@gharkekalesh) October 29, 2025 It is clearly visible in the video that the young man first slaps, then punches. Before the passenger sitting next to him could understand anything or defend himself, the attacker completely overwhelmed him. He pulls him and hits him two or three times. Other passengers are shocked by this sudden attack. Fighting between passengers in Delhi Metro is nothing new. Often there are arguments about seats or being pushed into the crowd. This time, however, the reason for the fight is said to be something else. According to reports, the man sitting next to him sat in such a way that he repeatedly bumped the other passenger. This led to a fight, which turned into a fight. This video which is going viral on social media is of around 16 seconds. Although the entire incident is not visible, what is visible shows how quickly the case escalated. This video was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a user named @gharkekalesh. In fact, such incidents are becoming more common than ever. In a public place like the metro, where many people travel every day, even a small disagreement can turn into a big argument. Experts say that increasing crowds, stress and lack of patience are the main reasons for these incidents. People are in a hurry, get sensitive about seats or space, and can get angry over little things. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has repeatedly appealed to passengers to maintain patience during the journey and to inform the security personnel in case of any altercation. CCTV cameras have been installed in every carriage of the metro and security personnel are deployed. However, such incidents show that passengers still need a little more patience and understanding.

View Full Image Reddit debates who is Bade Sahab in Dhurandhar. The speculation gained further traction after viewers noticed that Wikipedia’s cast list – as well as the film’s end credits – mentioned Dawood Ibrahim being portrayed by Danish Iqbal. This discovery has led many to believe that the filmmakers may have purposefully embedded clues while leaving no explicit confirmation in the film itself. One widely shared theory links the character to Masood Azhar, which is based on events depicted early in the film. Fans theorize who Bade Sahab is in Dhurandhar As one Reddit user wrote, “‘Bade Sahab’ could be either Dawood Ibrahim or Masood Azhar. The IC 814 hijackers were looking to free the terrorist Masood Azhar. We see that event right in Chapter 1 of ‘Dhurandhar’. So, showing Azhar as Bade Sahab could mean a more personal appeal to Sanimo. Against Azhar for sure But, many Dawood Ibrahim can also (sic) other theories went much wider.

One response read: “If there is a scene related to Dawood in part 2, then it will be very enlightening” Another added a note of caution about expectations, “Let’s see if Dawood Ibrahim is just the designated Sahab villain or just a reference character in the movie” Given Dhurandhar’s stated inspiration from real-life geopolitical events and mysterious activities surrounding the Sahab appears “ambiguous.” Whether the character will eventually be revealed as a specific individual or remains symbolic may only become clear in the film’s second part – but for now, the unanswered question has become one of the most discussed aspects of the film’s post-release discourse.

An Indian working in France’s capital Paris sparked a conversation after sharing his experience of working with Indians abroad and what he believes leads to workplace toxicity. The man, identified as Varun Varshney, created an Instagram profile to document his experience, and his comments resonated with many online. In the now-viral clip, Varshney claimed that Indians are often “enemies of other Indians” not only within the country but also abroad. Sharing his experience of working in the French capital, he said he works with several Indians, most of whom are more interested in highlighting others’ mistakes in front of the manager, even when it involves very minor issues. For example, if someone arrives at work late, they make sure the manager is informed. Varshney said working as the only Indian on the project was a relief because it spared him what he describes as a toxic workplace culture. He explained that gossip often occurred behind colleagues’ backs, issues were frequently escalated to management, and team members were pitted against each other through constant fault-finding and internal rivalries. Along with the video, Varshney wrote, “Office politics done by Indians not only inside India but even outside.” The video quickly gained traction on social media, with several users agreeing with him and sharing their experiences in the comments section. Here’s How Social Media User Reacted One user said: “If our countrymen had stayed united, no one could have ruled over us.” Another wrote: “A similar situation exists in the US. My first job after graduation was at a firm where most of the managers were Indian. After I left, I promised myself that I would rather struggle than work in such an environment again.” Several people expressed similar frustrations to Varshney. “Real truth,” one user wrote, while another noted, “This is why the British ruled us for nearly 300 years. They knew we were divided.” A separate comment read: “I totally agree with you. This behavior follows us everywhere.” Another wrote, “Office politics exists everywhere, but it hurts more when it comes from your own people,” while another added, “This mindset needs to change if Indians want respect in global workplaces.” Another simply asked, “What do you get by buttering the driver?”

Neil Diamond may have famously sung about being a “Solitary Man,” but the legendary singer’s real life tells a very different story. The 84-year-old icon, who has been married to talent manager Kate Diamond for nearly 14 years, continues to share a partnership rooted in friendship, mutual respect and a shared love of music. Neil Diamond on his marriage to his wife Katie Speaking at the premiere of Song Sung Blue in New York on Thursday, December 11, Kate reflected on what has kept their marriage going over the years. “We’re best friends, and we really support each other. We lift each other up, and through thick and thin, through sickness and health, we really live it up. And I think that’s the secret,” she told PEOPLE. She also revealed that another milestone is around the corner. “And it’s our 14th wedding anniversary coming up in April,” she added. When asked how the couple planned to celebrate, Kate said there was no big plan in mind. “I mean, every day we try to make it special and celebrate it every day.” Fittingly, it was music that first brought the two together. In 2007, Kate worked with Irving Azoff, Neil’s manager at the time, and persuaded him to allow her to record the singer’s account. Her admiration for Neil’s catalog – including classics such as Sweet Caroline and Holy Holy – soon turned into something deeper. Their relationship grew steadily, with Kate initially wary of crossing professional boundaries. “Part of me said, ‘Don’t get involved; he’s a client,'” she told Parade in 2012. “There are many complications for many reasons. But our chemistry has grown into something that cannot be denied.” Neil also spoke candidly about how the romance unfolded. He focused mainly on his work at the time and admitted that he did not see Kate romantically at first. “We kind of fell in love, slowly,” he told The Telegraph. “She weaved her way into my heart, and I think she’s a wonderful person. I realized I’m in love with her.” The singer announced their engagement in September 2011 with a heartfelt message on Twitter (now X), “Good news coming from sunny LA/ and you’re the first to tell/ Katie and I just got engaged/ and I hope you wish us well.” They married at the Beverly Hills Hotel on April 21, 2012, with Kate becoming, as she later described herself, “a proud stepmother” to Neil’s four children – daughters Marjorie and Elyn, and sons Jesse and Micah – from his previous marriages. Neil has often spoken about how transformative marriage has been for him. “I don’t want to end this whole amazing journey alone,” he told Parade in 2012. “I want someone by my side who I love and who loves me. I finally found someone who is up to the task of being my wife because I’m very… high maintenance.” He added: “I think I’m probably the luckiest man on earth.” Their bond also influenced Neil’s music. Kate served as a creative muse on his 2014 album Melody Road, with the singer later revealing how her presence shaped the songwriting process. “I had a woman I was in love with in the picture, and just being with her and having her around me inspired me to stick with it,” he told News Corp Australia Network, about the clip Art of Love. Years later, Kate remains deeply moved by Neil’s work. At the premiere of Song Sung Blue – a film inspired by real-life couple Mike and Claire Sardina, founders of a Neil Diamond tribute band – she recalled being blown away by Kate Hudson’s rendition of I’ve Been This Way Before. “When she sang it, I sobbed,” Kate said. “It brought me to tears. It’s such a beautiful song.” Song Sung Blue will be released in theaters on December 25.

Jakarta – Member of Commission IV DPR who is also chairman of the PKB DPP Daniel Johan believes that President Prabowo Subianto’s declaration not to cut down evil carelessly is a very important direction. Daniel said the state must protect forests and stop illegal logging. “We are very happy that the President immediately pays serious attention to the state of nature and our environment that has been weakened. The President’s statement that says that ‘…we must protect our environment, we must protect nature’ and ‘We must not cut down trees carelessly. I ask all regional heads to be more vigilant, more vigilant. We protect our nature as best as possible’, is said in very important and strong directions of the current report,” Daniel said on Monday. (15/12/2025). According to Daniel, forests must be protected by the state. He said that deforested forests should be reforested immediately. Scroll TO CONTINUE CONTENT “This statement emphasizes that the state should protect forests as best as possible, that there should be no clearing of new forests and forests that have been deforested should be restored through reforestation/reforestation,” he said. Daniel also reminded regions not to issue permits for new concessions. Because, he said, forest destruction has occurred as a result of massive land clearing. “Then regional heads may not issue permits for new concessions because forest damage occurs as a result of massive forest clearing, especially for large-scale purposes, so that hundreds of millions of thousands of hectares are cleared for certain purposes,” he said. Apart from that, Daniel said that the mastermind behind the forest destruction that took place in Aceh and Sumatra should be revealed immediately. So, he said, it is clear what caused the forest destruction that caused the disaster. “The people are waiting for the government to take steps to reveal the mastermind behind the forest destruction that took place in Sumatra and Aceh so that it will be known that forest destruction was caused by what, by whom and for whose interests?” said Daniel. Strive for strengthened surveillance In the future, Daniel is campaigning for stricter forest monitoring. He asked that forest police be strengthened. “In order to ensure that illegal logging does not take place, we must strengthen surveillance in the field. We have Forestry Police that must be strengthened by providing adequate monitoring facilities, the living conditions of forest police officers must be taken into account and then given more authority in terms of surveillance so that our Forestry Police is stronger in carrying out patrols and action in the field,” he explained. “Commission IV continues to encourage our Forestry Police to be strengthened and equipped with adequate equipment, especially now that technology is sophisticated, patrols can be carried out with drones, of course Commission IV will really support the strengthening of surveillance,” he continued. Furthermore, Daniel said that Commission IV of the DPR is currently discussing the revision of the Forestry Act. This review, he said, should be a momentum to tighten regulations on forest conversion. “Currently, Commission IV of the DPR is discussing changes to Law Number 41 of 1999 regarding Forestry, and this should be a momentum to tighten the regulations regarding permits and conversion of forest functions. Revisions of the Law should not allow more room for the opening of forest areas that ignore the carrying capacity of the environment, because the impact and losses always lead to disasters for communities,” he said. Prabowo asks not to cut down trees randomly. President Prabowo Subianto visited Aceh Tamiang and met with residents in refugee camps for flash flood victims last week Friday (12/12). Prabowo invites everyone to protect nature. “We must be alert now, careful, we must protect our environment, we must protect nature,” Prabowo said on Friday (12/12) in front of refugees in Aceh Tamiang. Prabowo said he must not cut down trees carelessly. He asked regional heads to keep a close watch. “We cannot cut down trees carelessly. I ask all regional chiefs to be more vigilant, to be more vigilant. We will protect our nature as best as possible,” he said. (view/image)
