Throwback: When MS Dhoni shared his personal routine and why he cannot sleep at 2 AM
Mahendra Singh Dhoni 's excellence on the cricket field requires no proof. However, it is his ardent dedication towards fitness and a healthy life that has inspired millions of his fans across the globe. Even at 44, MS reigns as one of the top and most trusted players for India. He had once opened up about maintaining a regular sleep schedule, which helped him to use his optimum potential during matches. When M.S. Dhoni talked about his fixed sleeping cycle Last year, during an event in Chennai, M.S. Dhoni revealed his daily routine and mentioned that his sleeping cycle remains unchanged, regardless of the circumstances. The cricketer said he always hits the bed by 3 AM to get ample rest before a match scheduled for the next day. In his words, 'I sleep by 3 am. I get up by 11, 11:30, 12, whatever, and then get on with the business. The reason is simple, I cannot sleep at 2 a.m., get up by, let's say, 10 o'clock, and if the game is at 7:30, I get restless. And then when we play a game, by the time we come back, it's actually late.' The cricketer further stressed that he does not change his sleeping schedule at any cost, so that his body is not disrupted by any changes in his work schedule. Fast forward to now, M.S. Dhoni, during an event in Ranchi, commented on the significant decline in interest among the youth in sports nowadays. He took the example of his own daughter, Ziva Dhoni, and shared how the little one is not particularly excited about sports. M.S. explained, ' So, the average fitness level of us as Indians has gone down. Even my daughter, I feel she doesn't do a lot of physical activity.' He added, 'She is not into sport, so we have to plan things where you (are) physically active. That's how it has been. A lot of people don't play sports.' For the unversed, M.S. Dhoni recently celebrated his 44th birthday with a quiet celebration at his professional home in Ranchi, i.e., the premises of the Jharkhand State Cricket Association.

Chatbot to help pilgrims during Shravani Mela In a first, Deoghar district administration has launched a Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot, through which, special information will be communicated to visitors about the Shravani Mela, which stated on July 11. The app, which can be downloaded at the click of a link, will provide interesting insights into the history of Deoghar and the Baba Temple. Besides, whatever information may be required by a devotee during the Mela, including railway station, bus stand, airport, hospital and other such data, will be available on the app. In another significant step, surveillance in the Mela area includes facial recognition and headcount cameras, enhancing enhancing crowd control and safety. Govt offices to be fully e-enabled by 2026 Taking a move towards streamlined, paperless governance, the Jharkhand government has launched a comprehensive initiative to digitise all its offices by January 2026. The move, led by Chief Secretary Alka Tiwari, is set to transform traditional bureaucratic workflow into a modern, tech-driven 'e-office' system. The chief secretary has also asked department heads to evaluate the progress of the 'e-Office Light' initiative. Stressing the need for accuracy and efficiency, she has directed the IT Department to ensure that the system is completely error-free and operational across all departments before the deadline.
