NDTV2 days ago
A British Royal Navy F-35 fighter jet, stuck at Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram International Airport for about 20 days, is set to return to the UK. Before its departure, the jet had become a meme sensation, with internet users creating humorous content. The memes and jokes started circulating on June 14, but a new wave of humour emerged with news of its planned return. Internet users have turned the event into a meme festival, with pranks like listing the F-35 for sale on OLX and creating fake Aadhar cards for the jet.
One user wrote, "F-35B Nair got its PAN card. Now it's time to link it with Aadhaar as per Govt. rules." Another commented, "If that F-35 plane was parked in Gurgaon for this long, someone would have opened a restaurant inside it."

British F-35 fighter jet
The F-35B, a state-of-the-art stealth fighter jet, made an emergency landing in Trivandrum on June 14 due to a mechanical issue. The F-35B, a fifth-generation stealth fighter renowned for its advanced technology and versatility, was en route from the UK to Australia when it encountered a hydraulic failure. The pilot, facing low fuel levels and adverse weather conditions, opted for an emergency landing at the nearest suitable airport, which happened to be in Kerala. The Indian Air Force facilitated the landing, providing refuelling and logistical support, but the hydraulic issue grounded the aircraft, leaving it stranded on the tarmac.
As of July 6, the F-35 remains grounded at Thiruvananthapuram Airport, with British engineers and a special tow vehicle en route to repair the hydraulic snag. The incident has extended into its third week, with multiple attempts to fix the jet proving unsuccessful.

In dire straits at Telangana Archaeology Museum, 2,100-year-old Egyptian mummy cries out for help

Hyderabad: The rare Egyptian mummy at the Telangana State Archaeology Museum in Nampally is crying out to be saved. It has visible wear between the neck and torso, and officials need about Rs 85 lakh for its preservation. On display at the museum since the 1930s, the mummy now lies in a poorly lit gallery, with half the lights out despite a renovation in 2016. The funds, apart from repairing the mummy – which is the most popular attraction of the museum – would also help address problems in the preservation chamber such as a broken air-conditioning unit and low nitrogen oxide levels among other issues accelerating the deterioration. 'It's been three months since we filed the proposal. Currently, it is under review at the Secretariat,' a senior archaeology department official said on condition of anonymity, You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad Delay could worsen the damage, he said. Believed to be over 2,100 years old, the mummy is said to be that of Princess Nasihu, the daughter of Egypt's sixth Pharaoh. It was brought to Hyderabad in 1920 as a gift to the last Nizam, Osman Ali Khan, by his predecessor's son-in-law, Nawab Nazeer Nawaz Jung, who had purchased it for 1,000 British pounds. Mohammed Abid Ali, a city-based heritage activist, said, 'The museum houses a remarkable collection, ranging from prehistoric tools and Satavahana coins to Kakatiya sculptures and the Egyptian mummy.

When the Egyptian mummy was sent for restoration during 2015-16, we were told that it wouldn't need any work for many years to come and the govt invested lot of money. It only means that there was no effort to safeguard it.' Despite the avenues for promoting it, many tourists to the city are not aware of the presence of the Egyptian mummy in the museum. Arman Haider, who has come from Delhi along with his family, said, 'While I had heard about the mummy a couple of years ago, I thought it was moved out of here. We were surprised to see it in such bad condition.'

Djokovic, known for his ability to reset quickly, bounced back in the next two sets, winning them 6–4, 6–4. With the match standing at 2–1 in Djokovic's favour at the time, de Minaur was still pushing hard, showing the grit and speed that have defined his game.

As reported by The Mirror, Boulter recently described De Minaur as 'my rock,' while he's been seen beaming in the stands during her matches. Their chemistry is natural, grounded, and refreshingly down-to-earth—two pros who clearly understand the highs and lows of the tennis life. Are Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter engaged? Yes! The couple made things official just before Christmas, announcing their engagement on December 23, 2024, with a sweet Instagram post that simply read: 'We've been keeping a small secret…' Alongside the caption was a cosy selfie—both smiling, with Katie's hand subtly showing off a sparkling engagement ring. The announcement didn't take long to blow up across social media. Fellow tennis stars, including Emma Raducanu and Thanasi Kokkinakis, were quick to flood the comments with love and congratulations. Fans, too, couldn't get enough of the moment, calling it 'about time' and praising the pair's natural chemistry both on and off the court. 'Katie is my happy place' Alex has often credited Katie for keeping him grounded. Ahead of the 2025 season and following their engagement, he told The Daily Telegraph that her presence taught him 'to enjoy the process and not just chase results.' He described her as "my happy place," highlighting how she helps him balance the pressures of life on tour.
