Viral video: People rush to ‘loot' mangoes on display at Lucknow mango festival; netizens question ‘civic sense'
As the festival for the king of fruits, Mango, wrapped up in Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow on Monday, July 6, a video from the event showing attendees rushing to loot the mangoes on display went viral on social media. In the viral video, people can be seen grabbing the mangoes put on display for the Lucknow mango festival, smiling and giggling about the number of mangoes each person was able to grab. Both men and women were seen with hands full of mangoes, while some were also turning their sarees and dupattas into makeshift bags, enabling them to carry more mangoes. The person who posted the video on social media shared that the 'same mangoes were being sold outside' the festival camp. Social media users were shocked to see the kind of loot at the Lucknow mango festival and questioned the basic civic sense of Indians. 'This is our civic sense. No wonder other countries don't want Indians on their land,' a user said. 'They all wish they were born with 16 hands,' a user quipped. Another user said, 'Thodi der aur hone do table aur cover bhi ghar le ke chale jaenge.' A user added, 'India needs Civic Sense Day and Common Sense as subjects in schools and colleges.' 'Seeing this seems very uncomfortable…I can't imagine being there,' said a disgusted netizen. 'Isn't this a regular thing? Isn't this who we are? After boasting all about Sanskar, pride and heritage, this is a usual sight. We can be seen looting goods if a truck overturns on the highway,' a user slammed. Recently, a video from Madhya Pradesh showing attendees at an event fighting for a plate of free puri and sabzi went viral on social media. According to media reports, the viral video was from the Global Investors Summit held in Bhopal on 24-25 February 2025. The viral video captured attendees scrambling for food plates, with scenes of people snatching plates, breaking queues, and causing general mayhem.

9 episode series will melt your heart, a love story which will blow your mind, has 8.7 IMDb rating, series is..., lead actors are...
In a world obsessed with dark twists, true crime, and shock value, this series can be the calm in the chaos — a breath of fresh, familiar air. It proves that a story doesn't need sleaze, spectacle, or suspense to strike a chord. Sometimes, simplicity is the power move. If you are still guessing, let help you. We are talking about Bada Naam Karenge! Following the legacy of real-world charmers like Gullak and Panchayat, this show invites you into a space that feels lived-in — middle-class homes, quietly chaotic families, and hearts that speak more in glances than grand gestures. Bada Naam Karenge – Plot At the centre are Surbhi and Rishabh — old friends, now reintroduced under the polite disguise of an arranged marriage. Their banter isn't filmy; it's full of subtext and stifled smiles. But just when you expect this to be a light-hearted reunion, lockdown hits. And with it, the twist: they must live together. No escape. Just endless days to unpack not just luggage, but layers of history, ego, affection, and unspoken emotion. That's where Bada Naam Karenge quietly shines — not in drama, but in the domestic. The silences are loud, the pauses intentional. In just nine episodes, it explores what many shows fail to in full seasons: the sweet discomfort of reconnection, the tension between past and present, and the often underrated art of just being. Bada Naam Karenge – IMDb rating With an IMDb rating of 8.7, it's clear that audiences are craving heart over hype. And behind the scenes? The signature storytelling touch of Sooraj Barjatya — the man who made Sanskar cinematic — now marks his graceful digital debut. Bada Naam Karenge isn't here to trend — it's here to stay. It's that rare show you don't binge, but savour — like chai in the evening, or rereading an old letter.
