Udupi: Arya, a five-year-old from Muddur village near Brahmavar, has brought pride to Udupi district by securing a prestigious India Book of Records (IBR) title for his exceptional intellectual prowess.
Recognised on April 26 this year, as an 'IBR Achiever,' the UKG student from VSS CBSE School demonstrated an astonishing ability to recall a vast array of facts, showcasing cognitive skills far beyond his age.
At just five years and five months, Arya fluently recited an extensive list of information, including 19 national symbols, eight planets, 48 Asian countries with their capitals, seven rainbow colors, seven continents, five oceans, and the seven wonders of the world. His repertoire also encompassed Karnataka's 31 districts, eight Kannada Jnanpith awardees, India's 14 prime ministers, 15 presidents, and the capitals of India's 28 states and eight union territories.
Arya was born on November 14, 2019, to parents Gurumurthy B and Shyamala. Arya's achievement reflects his natural curiosity and the nurturing environment provided by his family and school.
His parents credit his success to his relentless eagerness to learn, supported by the dedicated faculty at V.S.S. CBSE School.
The IBR recognition followed a stringent verification process by officials, confirming the accuracy and spontaneity of Arya's recitations. Arya's milestone underscores the value of fostering early education in rural settings, serving as an inspiration for communities across Karnataka.

Did Zayn Malik Face Discrimination While in One Direction? New Lyrics Spark Diss Rumors Against Former Teammates

Zayn Malik exited the boy group One Direction on March 25, 2015. Ever since the news dropped, there have been questions about the reason leading up to his walking out, and it seems that the star is finally ready to talk about it. In a new snippet of his upcoming track Fuschia Sea, the soloist shared the full lyrics of his song to his 53.4 million followers on Instagram. One particular lyric reading, "Cause i worked hard in a white band and they still laughed at the asian," is catching attention for its implications. The singer's direct mentions of being in a 'white band', especially since he hasn't been in any other teams since, and getting 'laughed at' for being 'asian', are earning wild reactions. Malik added how the bombshell news created a big impact on the legacy of the team, also hinting at his Asian roots. "Left a blue mark on a white flag. Then used blood for the painting. If my grandad could go back, lad, there's a fat chance of a backhand." The new update from Zayn Malik has left fans of the group stunned, as it reveals a new side to the apparent dispute between him and Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, and Harry Styles, who were left behind to deal with the sheer stardom. As One Direction rose to fame, the fallout within the team became more visible to onlookers; however, no one expected him to leave the team. X users shared their take on the lyric, saying, "zayn malik deserves the BIGGEST apology from the world like RIGHT NOW". Another stated, "YES Zayn Malik speak up. I think these few lines have more words, more artistry than one direction's whole discography." The following lyrics affirmed that the song was about his own life, including his relationship with Gigi Hadid and the birth of their daughter, Khai. He spoke about feeling ashamed of those around him and the uncertainty he experienced since leaving the team, being an 'outsider'. He insinuated that it was all just games for the makers of the team, and the members soon followed. "Just a young man with his own kid and a wife now, in a new land. I know he dreamed hard, cause they're my dreams, and I grabbed hard with these two hands. As one flame can be turned to another, I never felt shame like mufasa, my brother. If it's all just a game or a class, then I shudder." There have been rumors of the team reuniting following Liam Payne's passing, but no concrete plans have been confirmed so far.

Cierra Ortega's friends ‘take a step back from running' Love Island USA 7 contestant's account after racial slur row

Cierra Ortega, the Love Island USA Season 7 contestant, is making headlines after multiple posts allegedly featuring language offensive to Asian communities resurfaced. Recently, two of Cierra Ortega's close friends broke silence over the old social media posts and have taken 'a step back from running' 25-year-old Love Island contestant's accounts. Several social media users expressed disappointment with the use of language and demanded her removal from the show. The controversy reached a point that Love Island Season 7 team is now planning to hold a meeting and make a decision about Ortega's future on the reality series, The Sun reported. Addressing the issue, Love Island USA Season 5 former contestant Johnnie Oliva in an Instagram story said, 'I'm sure many of you have noticed I have refrained from talking about Love Island and have stopped publicly supporting my friend on the show. This was after I saw the post involving a racial slur for the first time,' She added, 'I loved supporting her during the time on the show, but once I came across that post, I felt it was necessary to take a step back. I do not support or condone that kind of language, never have, never will." "Racism in any form is unacceptable, and to be clear, unless you are Asian, you do not get to decide whether or not that word is offensive. Anyone who isn't Asian should not be speaking about the seriousness or impact of that word," she said concluding her statement. The other major remark came from Cierra Ortega's friend, MJ Hedderman, who had been managing her account while she was on the show. Speaking out on the issue, she said, 'Hi guys, I see your comments concerning someone I love and care about,' adding, she said, 'I want to be clear that I do not condone racism, bigotry, or hate in any way shape or form nor was I aware of the recent screenshots until they were posted.' Condemning racism, Cierra Ortega's friend stated, 'I discovered it at the same time as all of you did. I cannot speak for anybody or make any statements besides my own, and decided to take a step back from running her account. I was asked by her family to turn off comments and refrain from speaking on her behalf. This situation has been really difficult and I'm still processing everything,'

Is a mega earthquake hitting Japan today? The Manga prediction everyone's talking about

Japan is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. With the summers in full swing, people across the globe have been planning a visit to this Asian country rich in natural landscapes, cultural history, modern technology and unforgettable experiences- all of which call the names of travellers who adore exploring new adventures. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, currently and especially today, on July 5, people in Japan are scared for their lives and those planning to visit the country have put their plans on hold. Why so? Let's find out! A tsunami to hit Japan? Image credits: X This is because a Japanese manga novel has predicted that a mega-earthquake will hit Japan today. The buzz started from the 2021 reprint of a 1999 manga called 'The Future I Saw' by Ryo Tatsuki, a retired manga artist known as Japan's 'New Baba Vanga'. In it she predicted a crack under the seabed between Japan and the Philippines, triggering a tsunami three times larger than the 2011 one that hit the country. Why are the people scared? In 2011, a 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit Japan's northern Tohoku region. The incident claimed the lives of nearly 20,000 people and caused the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster. Many believe that Tatsuki had predicted the occurrence. According to the South China Morning Post, a manga's cover included the words "massive disaster in March 2011" leading people to believe that she foresaw the event. Long-time followers of the new Baba Vanga also believe that she predicted the death of Princess Diana, musician Freddie Mercury and the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, over 1,000 earthquakes have rattled the Tokara island chain of the country since June 21, with the latest one on July 3 leading to the evacuation of one small southern island's 89 residents. With these quakes coinciding with the predicted doomsday, people's fears have only amped up. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Will a mega earthquake truly occur? Image credits: X Seismologists insist that the predictions are scientifically impossible. 'At the moment, it is still impossible to predict an earthquake with specific timing, location or its magnitude,' the Japan Meteorological Agency told the Associated Press last month, calling any such prediction 'a hoax' and 'disinformation'. The author herself tried to diminish the speculation through a statement issued by her publisher which clarified that she was "not a prophet" and that the mega earthquake may not happen. She encouraged readers not to be 'overly swayed' by her dreams and 'act appropriately based on expert opinions'.
