Sunjay Kapur's wife Priya Sachdev has recalled the time about ending her first marriage with American hotelier Vikram Chatwal. In an interview with Kin and Kindness on YouTube, Sachdev said, 'My ex-husband ticked all the boxes… He went to Wharton, worked at Morgan Stanley. I did mathematics at UCLA, a double major with UCLA and LSE… So I thought this is a perfect match.'
She added, 'You know how you do your career path, but it doesn't always work. I thought I had it all right… but I guess I chose wrong. When I had her and I realised, a few 15 to 20 weeks into my pregnancy, I realised this marriage is not right. But I still continued to make this work.'

Tom Lehrer, master of musical satire and mathematics, dies at 97
AP Tom Lehrer, song satirist and mathematician, dies at 97 Tom Lehrer, the renowned American satirist, singer-songwriter, and mathematician best known for his darkly humorous songs that skewered politics, social taboos, and the absurdities of the Cold War era, passed away on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was 97 years old. Lehrer's longtime friend David Herder confirmed the news, though the cause of death has not been disclosed. Born on April 9, 1928, in Manhattan, New York, Lehrer was a mathematical prodigy who entered Harvard University at the age of 15. He earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics at just 18 and went on to obtain a master's degree from Harvard the following year. Though he began doctoral studies, he never completed his dissertation. Lehrer's academic career spanned teaching positions at prestigious institutions including Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he spent much of his later professional life devoted to education rather than entertainment. Lehrer first gained national recognition in the 1950s through self-produced albums that featured his clever, politically charged, and taboo-breaking songs. His work hit wider audiences in the 1960s when he was featured on the American television program That Was the Week That Was (TW3), a satirical news show hosted by David Frost. Lehrer's sharp wit and musical skill made him a cult favorite, with songs that remain influential for their cutting humor and musicality. His 1965 album That Was the Year That Was reached number 18 on the U.S. charts. His repertoire includes enduring classics such as 'Poisoning Pigeons in the Park,' 'The Masochism Tango,' 'Be Prepared' (a satire of the Boy Scouts), 'The Old Dope Peddler,' and 'The Vatican Rag,' which amusingly lampooned religion with lines like 'Down on your knees, genuflect, genuflect.' Lehrer's song 'The Elements' is famous for setting the names of chemical elements to the melody of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance and is regarded as one of the cleverest educational songs ever the success of his musical career and his wide influence—he inspired future musical parodists such as 'Weird Al' Yankovic—Lehrer largely abandoned performing and recording after the late 1960s to focus on his academic career. In 2020, he made headlines by relinquishing all rights to his songs, placing his work into the public domain for free public for his classical piano training starting at age seven, Lehrer admirably balanced his dual passions for music and mathematics throughout his life. Though he never married or had children, his legacy endures through his contributions to musical satire and the mathematics community.

Tom Lehrer dies at 97: Satirical singer found dead at home; Harvard math genius famed for taboo-breaking songs
Tom Lehrer (Picture source: X) Tom Lehrer, the sharp-witted American singer and satirist known for his darkly comic songs, has died at the age of 97. He was found dead on Saturday at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lehrer first found fame in the 1950s with his self-produced albums, but it was the 1960s TV show That Was the Week That Was that brought his biting humour to a wider audience. Despite his cult following, Lehrer always saw himself primarily as a mathematician. He taught at Harvard, MIT and later at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he spent most of his later life. Known for tackling taboo topics through satire, such as war, drug use, and religion, Lehrer's songs like The Masochism Tango, Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, and The Vatican Rag pushed boundaries during the Eisenhower era. His 1965 album That Was the Year That Was hit No. 18 on the US charts. Born in New York to a Jewish family, Lehrer was a prodigy who entered Harvard at 15. Though he left showbiz early, his work remained popular, featured in radio shows, stage revues, and re-released albums. Lehrer never married and had no children.

South park it there, you can't get free-er
Say what you will about the US, but there's something that is awesome about its idea of freedom: Trey Parker and Matt Stone's animated sitcom South Park 's merciless roast of the American president would be unthinkable in uncle-aunty countries. Even as Trump is seething at depictions of him in bed with Satan and an AI-generated sequence of him getting butt naked in a desert, no one has been tossed into a dungeon. At worst, South Park's parent company Paramount, which signed a $1.5 bn 5-year deal with the creators of the subversive show, will cut its losses after this expensive joke in the form of its new season opener, 'Sermon on the Mount'.The latest episode didn't just poke the presidential bear - it dressed him as a toddler, and sent him on a parade of absurdity so brutal it made stand-up satire look like polite gossip. And, yet, no censorship, no exile, no mysterious disappearance of Parker and Stone. Just outrage, applause, and thoughts about how fat the silver lining still is even in India-emulating Trumpland. You've got to admire a country where mockery isn't just tolerated, it's monetised. It's a celebration of critique and creative combustion. South Park is America's sweaty, profane love letter to liberty - proof that in a truly democratic society, even the most powerful person is fair game for fart jokes and genital takedowns.
