Touchdown In Jaipur: Ukraine's First Lady Refuels Diplomacy En Route To Tokyo
New Delhi: Jaipur stirred at dawn. Wrapped in a soft morning haze, Rajasthan's pink city turned briefly into a stage of diplomacy. At 6:30 am on August 3, wheels touched the tarmac as a sleek aircraft arrived with a 23-member Ukrainian delegation. First Lady Olena Zelenska stepped off. Her presence was composed and poised. Walking beside her was Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, who also serves as deputy head of the Presidential Office. Senior officials from Kyiv followed with measured steps and focused expressions. Their suits were sharp and movements purposeful. The mission continued toward Tokyo, passing through the warmth of Jaipur's still-sleeping skies, leaving behind the trace of protocol. The unscheduled stop was not for diplomacy on Indian soil. It was for fuel. However, it did not go unnoticed. The Ministry of External Affairs had cleared the protocol well in advance. On August 1, India's Foreign Ministry issued instructions to the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security to ensure full courtesies. The delegation was exempted from frisking and pre-embarkation checks. Following the official directive, Jaipur airport staff arranged VIP services for the brief halt. The visiting team included Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Sergiy Kyslytsya and Minister for Economic Affairs Oleksii Sobolev. They exited the aircraft and spent time in the VIP lounge. Ukrainian Embassy officials from Delhi had reached Jaipur early to receive them over light refreshments and conversations. Immigration clearance was not required. Around 8:15 am, the delegation boarded the plane again and resumed their journey to Tokyo. The visit to Japan carries weight. Ukrainian officials are expected to meet their Japanese counterparts to reinforce ties. The focus is likely to fall on two priorities: increased sanctions on Russia and support for Ukraine's war-ravaged economy. India's connection to Ukraine runs deep. Back in December 1991, India was one of the first nations to recognise Ukraine's independence. Diplomatic relations followed just a month later, in January 1992. Since then, ties have expanded across trade, education and mutual cooperation. Jaipur's brief appearance in Ukraine's journey to Tokyo may not make the front pages. But on the map of international diplomacy, it marks another moment where protocols, preparation and partnerships aligned, long enough to refuel.

Manisha Koirala's Culinary Adventure In UK Featured Flavours From All Over The World
Manisha Koirala recently wandered through the vibrant streets of London. What she garnered was a melange of flavours blending cultural delights from across the world. On Instagram, the Bollywood actress has now offered a delectable insight into her culinary adventures with a series of pictures. The carousel began with Manisha sipping from an iced watermelon mojito beautifully garnished with mint leaves. She captioned her post as "And the food!!! Easily one of the absolute highlights of this trip. I found myself appreciating fusion Indian cuisine more than ever before, and what a delicious surprise that was!" In the following photos, the Dil Se actress was seen posing at various eateries of the country, and also shared mouth-watering photos of the food she enjoyed there. In the caption, she continued, "From the bold, fiery flavours at Fatt Pundit, to the inventive dishes at The Cinnamon Collection, thanks to chef Santosh Shah, we went there and were delighted!!!, to Dr Amir Khan's unforgettable home-cooked spicy fish curry-each meal was a total win!" Manisha added, "Dishoom stole my heart with its nostalgic charm- so reminiscent of a Mumbai local café, especially with that comforting bun maska. The breakfast spread at St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel, was, as always, fabulous and indulgent. The Nepali feast at the Nepali Embassy was packed with flavour and warmth-truly felt like a taste of home." The Bombay actress was also seen posing with the eminent chefs and other staff of those eateries, and the pictures radiated their pure happiness. She further shared, "The Japanese gems blew me away- ROKA London served up some of the most incredible modern flavours, and Kai Mayfair was elegant, refined, and just delicious. And what's a trip to the UK without some proper fish and chips at a cosy local pub? Crispy, golden, and absolutely satisfying-British comfort food at its best." The carousel ended with a video of the actress all set to dive into a hot chocolate brownie ice cream. She was seen seated inside the food joint, where someone opposite her recorded the moment as the waiter poured hot chocolate syrup over the ice cream and brownie. The actress even flaunted her huge smile at the end. "And of course, the glam side of London didn't hold back- Broadwick Soho was all style and sparkle, and at The Dorchester, I had the surreal pleasure of sitting just beneath the portrait of the ever-glamorous Elizabeth Taylor. Pure old-school Hollywood magic in the heart of London," she concluded.
