Rs 5,000 crore man reveals reason why pre-wedding photoshoots are longer than marriages: 'Love at first sight is to blame'
Dr. A. Velumani
recently shared his perspective on how the meaning of marriage has shifted drastically for the current generation, especially millennials and Gen Z. Reflecting on the contemporary outlook towards relationships, he emphasized that the traditional dream of lifelong unions and growing old together may no longer align with present-day realities. His recent video highlights how quick romantic connections often unravel just as swiftly, with impulsive unions leading to equally rapid separations.
Dr. Velumani remarked that modern couples, particularly younger ones, tend to fall in love instantly but also walk away from relationships just as quickly after a conflict arises. This pattern, he noted, is becoming more common, and he urged individuals seeking enduring partnerships to approach relationships with realism and maturity.
"Love at first sight, divorce at first fight has become the norm," he wrote.

He stressed the importance of having practical expectations within a marriage. According to him, the mindset that one's partner must fit into pre-existing roles—especially the outdated belief that women must mold themselves around the needs of men—is no longer relevant. He suggested that those who desire meaningful relationships must release such ingrained patriarchal views. Looking ahead, he envisioned a future where male-dominated societal structures might no longer exist, predicting that patriarchal dominance could fade out entirely by the year 2050.
In the caption accompanying his video, Dr. Velumani shared thoughtful advice for those navigating love and relationships. He encouraged individuals to take their time before committing to a relationship, especially in love marriages. According to him, people should not rush into or out of marriages but instead give themselves adequate time to reflect before making life-altering decisions. Ending a marriage, he suggested, should involve even greater caution and reflection to minimize emotional turmoil and long-term damage.
Demonstrating his well-known dry wit, the founder of Thyrocare wryly observed how, in today's world, elaborate pre-wedding photo sessions tend to last longer than the marriages themselves. He highlighted the irony of how so much energy is poured into visual memories of a relationship, while the connection itself may dissolve quickly after minor disagreements.

"Love at first sight often leads to a divorce at first fight. That leads to a pre-wedding shoot longer than the post-married life..." he explained.

'Endangered' caracal captured in camera trap in MP's Gandhi Sagar sanctuary, first in 2 decades
Bhopal: In a major boost to India's wildlife conservation efforts, a caracal— one of the country's most elusive and threatened wild cats— has been captured on a camera trap inside the fenced Cheetah Closed Natural Area of Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh's Mandsaur district. This is the first confirmed sighting of the species in the state in nearly 20 years, and a promising sign of biodiversity recovery under Project Cheetah. The finding was officially communicated in a letter from Dr Bilal Habis, Scientist 'F' and project investigator at the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), to the Wildlife Unit of the Madhya Pradesh forest department. The WII, in collaboration with the state forest department, has been monitoring cheetahs, co-predators, prey species, and habitat conditions in the Gandhi Sagar landscape since 2023. "To understand the presence and movement of leopards and prey, camera traps have been deployed at various locations in the fenced area of the West Range," wrote Dr. Habis. "We are delighted to inform you that photographs of caracal (Caracal caracal) were obtained from one of the traps in the Golabavdi beat." According to the letter, the animal was photographed on three separate occasions on July 1, 2025, at the exact same location — at 02:35 hrs, 22:05 hrs, and again between 23:38 and 23:39 hrs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo This is the first time caracal presence has been recorded since monitoring efforts began under Project Cheetah. Dr Habis noted that the sighting "likely suggests that the habitat consolidation and restoration work under Project Cheetah is helping with the revival of biodiversity, including threatened species, as originally envisioned.". This unexpected sighting revives long-standing hopes among conservationists to bring the caracal back from the brink in Madhya Pradesh. In 2019, officials even launched a statewide search for caracals, beginning in the Ujjain forest circle, even distributing "most wanted" posters in rural villages and seeking help from locals. The campaign, however, yielded only photos of jungle cats, often mistaken for caracals due to their similar size and colour. In 2023, the Madhya Pradesh forest department had outlined plans to reintroduce caracals in the Gwalior region, acknowledging that the species had not been officially seen in the state for nearly two decades. KNOW ABOUT THE CARACAL Caracals are native to parts of Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and India, and are known for their distinctive black ear tufts, incredible agility, and solitary, nocturnal habits. They are powerful hunters, capable of leaping high into the air to catch birds mid-flight, experts say. These cats prefer dry scrublands, semi-arid zones, and moist woodlands, but are increasingly threatened by habitat loss and human encroachment. Listed as a threatened species by the IUCN, caracals are also included under Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, affording them the highest level of legal protection in India. They are critically endangered in the Indian context due to their small, fragmented population and low detection rates.

Plantation drive to focus on teak, sheesham & fruit-bearing trees
Lucknow: The massive drive to plant 37 crore saplings during Van Mahotsav on Wednesday will focus on teak, sheesham, moringa and fruit-bearing plants with the objective to help the poor meet their nutritional requirements and boost income. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will launch the campaign, which will be carried out from 6am to 6pm, by planting saplings in Ayodhya and Azamgarh. Apart from increasing the state's green cover, the objective of the campaign is to encourage people to plant trees and nurture them. Out of 37 crore saplings to be planted on the day, 18.6 crore will be of teak and sheesham, 10.8 crore will be of fruit-bearing varieties, and 5.8 crore will be medicinal saplings like drumstick and neem. The govt will give two moringa saplings each to the families identified as beneficiaries under the zero-poverty programme, under the 'Sahjan Bhandara' programme. "The agencies which distribute saplings to these families will ensure that plantation is done near households so that moringa trees can meet the nutritional requirements of these families," a forest department official said. The CM has also instructed officials to distribute moringa saplings to beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and at Anganwadi centres. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing you Can be Too Old for Learn More Undo Families in aspirational districts will also be encouraged to plant moringa.
