By disclosing decisions worthy of headlines in the most unremarkable way, Dhoni has a reputation for shocking his followers. Furthermore, he acts unexpectedly. Not a single person could have predicted that he would declare his retirement from international cricket.

Kate Middleton ‘working from home’, says Kensington Palace amid rumours: Report

Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has been working from home on a special children’s project, and easing back to normal life, Kensington Palace has confirmed to The Telegraph.

In Short

  • Kate Middleton busy with ‘Shaping Us’ project while working from home
  • Kensington Palace said she is easing back to normal life after surgery
  • Princess of Wales has been absent from public life since December

Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has been working from home post her abdominal surgery, as she eases back to normal life, Kensington Palace confirmed to The Telegraph. She has been busy with the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood’s (RFCEC) ‘Shaping Us’ project aimed at improving the lives of babies.

The palace said that the Princess of Wales had been kept up to date with her campaign, which has led to “overwhelming results” of the study she inspired. She launched the project in January, with the objective of highlighting the importance of early years’ development in children.

This development came after the staff of a hospital in central London where Kate Middleton had surgery reportedly tried to illegally access her private medical records. The UK’s information watchdog launched an investigation into the alleged incident.

The incident reportedly happened at The London Clinic, a private medical facility, where the 42-year-old Princess of Wales underwent surgery in January. Three workers have reportedly been placed under investigation by the London Clinic.

Kate Middleton’s long absence from public life has been marred by speculation and conspiracy theories. It was fuelled after the palace posted a picture of the princess with her three children, which was later pulled by several media agencies as it was digitally altered. The Princess of Wales later apologised for the confusion over the doctored photo, citing her love for “experimenting” as the reason behind the alteration.

Recently, footage surfaced showing Kate Middleton shopping with her husband, Prince William, at a local farm shop near Windsor. Though many claimed it was the princess’s lookalike, Heidi Agan, she dismissed speculation, telling The Mirror in an interview that she was working as a teacher at a dance and musical theatre group elsewhere.

Kensington Palace has assured the public that the Princess of Wales is recovering from the abdominal surgery, and won’t be resuming royal duties until after the Easter school break.

Arvind Kejriwal’s Arrest and Pranab Mukherjee’s Daughter: “Karma Catches Up”

New Delhi: Sharmistha Mukherjee, the daughter of former President Pranab Mukherjee, accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Anna Hazare group on Friday of making “irresponsible, baseless allegations against then Delhi Chief Minister and Congress leader Sheila Dikshit” in response to Kejriwal’s arrest in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.
She went on to say that in spite of their assertions that they have “trunk loads” of evidence against Dikshit, the public has never seen any of it.

‘Karma catches up!’ was how she concluded her message, implying that the people who made the irrational accusations are now paying a price for their misconduct.

He and the Anna Hazare group were in charge of fabricating the most irrational, ludicrous, and outrageous accusations against Congress, including the claim that he had ‘trunk loads’ of evidence against Sheila Dikshit ji. The ‘trunk’ has not yet been seen by anyone. “Karma comes full circle,” she wrote on X.

Prior to this, Sharmistha Mukherjee said that because of her recent criticism of the party and its leadership, she has been “viciously trolled allegedly by Congress supporters on social media”.

“Ever since my father’s book was published. I learned a lot from his journals and some of his insights about Rahul Gandhi. Pranab stated that Rahul is still developing as a politician and doesn’t appear to be missing very often. Congress has received a lot of acclaim, that “Congress social media had been viciously trolling me. Everything was ignored, and some of the Congress leaders had also been speaking against… Congress social media had been speaking against…”

Mukherjee has previously stated that she was concerned about the party due to the current situation in Congress.”I made a comment in an interview a few days ago on the fringes of the Jaipur Literature Festival, and I was questioned about my opinions regarding the Congress. I was quite explicit in saying that I am a member of Congress and that Congress continues to be very important to American politics. However, she continued, “the Congress ought to look past the Gandhi-Nehru family’s leadership.”

The Congress lost both of its previous Lok Sabha elections when Rahul Gandhi was the party’s face, according to Sharmistha Mukherjee. As a result, the party should choose who to present as its face.

On Thursday, a team from the Enforcement Directorate showed up to Kejriwal’s house to question him about the liquor policy matter. Kejriwal was detained under dramatic circumstances during a search operation at his home after the Delhi High Court denied the AAP convener temporary protection from arrest in the liquor policy case. Later, he was brought to the agency’s headquarters by the Enforcement Directorate. The ED office was also visited by a medical team.

Following Kejriwal’s detention, AAP members and leaders came together in support of the leader, as did leaders of the INDIA bloc. BJP leaders emphasized that “truth had to prevail” and backed the ED’s measures against the chief minister of Delhi.

Leader of the Aam Aadmi Party and Delhi Minister Atishi urged the BJP to stop playing politics behind the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday, citing the arrests of two opposition chief ministers and the freezing of a Congress bank account.

The ISRO’s “Pushpak” RLV develop successfully completes its landing test!

According to ISRO, the landing experiment took place near Challakere, Karnataka, at around seven in the morning.

The Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) known as “Pushpak” of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will successfully land on Friday from the Aeronautical Test Range (ATR) in Challakere, Karnataka.

The rocket was launched at around 7 am from the Chalakere Runway.

This was the RLV’s third landing mission, named for the fabled spacecraft mentioned in the Ramayana. The space agency had completed prior flights in 2016 and April of the previous year with success.

An Indian Air Force helicopter lifted the launch vehicle to a height of approximately 4.5 kilometers, and upon reaching the predefined pillbox boundaries, it was released.

The mission is a component of ISRO’s endeavors to “develop essential technologies for a fully reusable launch vehicle to enable low-cost access to space,” as stated by the space agency.

ISRO Chairperson S Somanath stated, “The Pushpak launch vehicle is India’s bold attempt to make access to space most affordable,” as reported by NDTV. The most costly component, the upper stage, which contains all the pricey electronics, is made reusable by returning it safely to Earth. This is India’s futuristic Reusable Launch Vehicle. Eventually, it might even be able to retrieve satellites from orbit for repair or refuel them while they were in orbit. Pushpak is one step towards India’s goal of reducing space junk.”

According to India Today, the Pushpak RLV is intended to be a fully reusable, all-rocket single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) vehicle. Major components including the modified DC-XA flight demonstrator, the X-33 advanced technology demonstrator, and the X-34 testbed technology demonstrator are also included.

“Pushpak” has two delta wings, two vertical tails, a nose cap, and a fuselage (body), according to ISRO. Additionally, it has Elevons and Rudder, two symmetrically positioned active control surfaces.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was informed by Somnath about the RLV mission, which is estimated to have cost ₹100, in February when he was visiting the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre in Trivandrum.

According to the annual Unstop Talent Report 2024, as many as 91 percent of students believe their college curricula offer an adequate level of preparedness for a job, whereas 66 percent of recruiters and 42 percent of university partners feel the skill gap and lack of preparation are major challenges in campus recruitment.

The report found that 88 percent of HR practitioners expressed a strong preference for skill-based hiring, prioritizing candidates’ abilities over other factors such as experience, academics, references, internships, and projects.

The findings are based on responses gathered from an extensive survey involving over 11,000 students, university partners, and human resource practitioners across the country.Additional insights were also gathered through conversations with HR leaders which divulged their views on employee desires, the role of mentorship, competition, and more.

“By highlighting the preferences and concerns of students and HR professionals, we aim to bridge the gap between talent supply and demand, enabling more informed decision-making and fostering a more efficient and effective hiring process,” Unstop Founder and CEO Ankit Aggarwal said.

The report further noted that the looming fear of layoffs has prompted three out of five (60 percent) students to prioritize job security overpay hikes. For most of them, in-hand salary remained the most valuable salary component, followed by perks and benefits.

Moreover, a significant percentage of B-school students prefer established and legacy firms, and working for startups has lost its charm.

Further, marketing emerged as the top preferred domain for B-school students, while Finance and Analytics topped the list for Arts and Science students.

In Arts, Science & Commerce, the most common offer for men was ₹6-10 LPA and for women was 2-5 LPA.

In B-School, 55 percent of men received an offer of over ₹16 LPA, but only 45 percent of women received an offer above ₹16 LPA, the report said.
