Tired of too many ads? go ad free now
A video posted on Instagram by user @shoaiblala7777nimbahera showed passengers visibly distressed and angry, asking the crew to switch on the AC. Some passengers even asked for the flight to be stopped as it was very hot inside the cabin, which can lead to health problems. The clip shows the growing frustration among travelers as the situation escalated.
The video quickly gained attention online, sparking a mix of sympathy for the passengers discomfort and criticism of the way they were talking to the crew.
One netizen commented 'It's disappointing to see how some people forget basic manners while flying. Treating flight attendants with disrespect clearly shows a lack of civic sense. They're just doing their job, and they deserve courtesy and cooperation like anyone else. Respect those who keep you safe in the skies.' While the other commented 'Awaaj uthani jaruri thi or dono person ne awaj uthai. Good job' ( Raising their voice was necessary, and both of them did.
Good job).

Bengaluru witnessed a remarkable example of citizen power with the launch of Metro Feeder Bus 314A/1 on July 19 by the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC). This new bus route now connects the residents of Kaggadasapura and C V Raman Nagar, providing much-needed connectivity and easing daily commutes for those living and working in the area, including employees of Bagmane Tech Park and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), according to news agency PTI. A petition with 400 signatures prompted BMTC to enhance public transport for local commuters, thus launching the metro feeder bus.

So, if you want to learn a quick and easy vegetarian recipe for your family, here's all that you need to do: Ingredients: Butter 1 medium onion Coarsely chopped ginger Mashed potatoes 4 baby potatoes Salt to taste Pepper ½ cup of grated mozzarella cheese ½ cup of heavy cream Method: 1. Start with two tablespoons of butter and one medium onion, finely chopped. 2. Add two tablespoons of coarsely chopped ginger and cook them together on medium-high heat. 3. Next, incorporate four mashed potatoes, salt, and pepper to taste. You can also add your favourite spices. 4. Then, mix in half a cup of grated mozzarella cheese and half a cup of heavy cream. Cook until the mixture comes together. 5. For the next step, take four different baby potatoes and finely slice them. 6. Layer the slices in a cast iron kadahi (pan). Pour your potato mixture right on top and evenly spread it. 7. Bake it in a preheated 350-degree oven. Once done, turn it upside down, garnish with cilantro, and enjoy with your family. Why should you cook in an iron pan? In the post, Vikas Khanna stressed that to cook the dish right, make it in an iron pan. According to a June 2021 study reported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), cooking food in an iron pot escalates the levels of blood haemoglobin and iron content of the food, and thus reduces the incidences of iron deficiency anaemia. Another 2013 study found that an increase of 16.2 percent in the iron content was found in the snacks cooked in iron pots compared to those cooked in Teflon-coated non-stick pots. After 4 months of supplementation, a significant increase of 7.9 percent was seen in the haemoglobin of the children.

Who is Guruji? The story of the most beloved spiritual leader
In the quiet, green area of Bhatti Mines in Mehrauli, Delhi, there is a peaceful and powerful place called Guruji Bade Mandir, also known as Guruji Ka Ashram. This temple is dedicated to Nirmal Singh Ji Maharaj, whom people lovingly call 'Guruji. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now ' Devotees from all over India and other countries come here to feel close to him. While the temple may look simple from the outside, many visitors believe it holds strong spiritual energy. They say it has helped heal people, bring peace to their minds, and change their lives in amazing ways. The life and grace of Guruji Guruji Maharaj was born in Dugri village near Ludhiana, Punjab on July 7, 1952. He completed double master's degrees in English and Economics from Malerkotla, but left everything in 1975 and devoted his life to silent spiritual service. Though he never propagated himself or sought fame, thousands began to gather around him for his unconditional grace. Many followers recount miraculous experiences, cures from chronic illness, answers to unspoken prayers, and peace beyond words. He took mahasamadhi (left his mortal body) on May 31, 2007, yet devotees experience his presence as vibrantly alive at Bade Mandir. Temple architecture and layout of Guruji Bade Mandir Source: Instagram Guruji Bade Mandir is serene and majestic in equal parts. Its white marble structures contrast beautifully with the central black granite Shivling, which Guruji personally created. This Shivling is revered to contain the combined energy of all 12 Jyotirlingas, making it profoundly powerful for meditation and prayer. Key areas of the temple: Samadhi sthal (Final resting place of guruji): A serene marble sanctum where devotees bow their heads and offer flowers, silence, and surrender. Darbar hall: Large hall adorned with images of Guruji, where satsangs take place. Shivling sthal: Central shrine of worship where mantras are softly chanted. Seva Bhawan: Areas where volunteers (sevadars) manage offerings, prasad, and visitor support. Langar hall: A large, clean area serving simple yet deeply blessed meals, prepared by volunteers in silence. Langar: A sacred meal of equality at Bade Mandir Langar at Guruji Bade Mandir is not merely food; it is prasad infused with divine blessings. Guruji believed in 'chai prasad', and often offered tea as a medium of healing and grace. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now After satsang, all devotees, regardless of caste, creed, or status, sit together and eat the same food, emphasising humility and unity. One thali is shared among four people, and there is a strict rule of not wasting even a single grain of rice or even a drop of water. Why devotees flock here Thousands of people, including Bollywood celebrities, politicians, CEOs, and common people, visit Bade Mandir for one reason: Grace. Some believe they are called only when Guruji wills. Many recount that their first visit changed everything, not with noise or ritual, but with silence and blessings. Digital presence and Instagram reach of Guruji In recent years, Guruji Bade Mandir has found a quiet presence on social media, especially Instagram. Posts of the Shivling, Darbar Hall, and langar moments evoke instant emotion from devotees worldwide. Hashtags like #JaiGuruji #BadeMandir #GurujiBlessings help create a digital prayer circle where people offer their thanks, share miracles, and stay connected to the temple energy from afar. The presence of Guruji mandirs worldwide Though Bade Mandir in Delhi is the spiritual epicenter, devotees have established Guruji Mandirs in cities like Chandigarh, Mumbai, Jaipur, Sydney, Toronto, and New York. These centres serve as spiritual outposts where satsangs and langars are held to continue Guruji's mission of universal upliftment.
