Taro root is a good source of essential nutrients, dietary fibre, vitamins, and minerals. It contains significant amounts of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, and various B vitamins. 


Taro root is a good source of dietary fibre, which is important for digestive health. Fibre helps promote regular bowel movements, prevents constipation, and supports a healthy digestive system. 



Taro root is a starchy vegetable, which means it provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy. The carbohydrates in taro root are complex carbohydrates, which release energy slowly, helping to provide sustained energy. 


Taro root is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy food choice. It also contains potassium, which regulates blood pressure by counteracting the effects of sodium in the diet. 


Taro root contains antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin A, which help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. These antioxidants play a role in reducing the risk of chronic diseases and supporting overall health. 


5 Health Benefits of Taro Root (Arbi)

Dhanteras marks the beginning of Diwali festivities. On this day, people clean and decorate their homes, buy new utensils or jewellery, and worship Lord Dhanvantari, the god of health and healing. 

Day 2: Naraka Chaturdashi or Chhoti Diwali 

It is believed to be the day when Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura, symbolising the victory of good over evil. People take an oil bath, wear new clothes, and light lamps to celebrate the occasion. 

It is the main day of Diwali when most of the festivities take place. People worship Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, and Lord Ganesh, the remover of all obstacles, on this day. Homes are illuminated with lamps, candles, and decorative lights. 

It is believed that Lord Krishna lifted the Govardhan Hill to protect the people of his village from torrential rains. Devotees prepare a variety of food items and offer them to the deities in a symbolic mountain shape. 

The fifth and final day of Diwali is Bhai Dooj. It is a day to celebrate the bond between brothers and sisters. Sisters perform aarti of their brothers, apply a tilak on their foreheads, and exchange gifts as a token of love and protection.

5 Tips to Keep Your Cats Cozy in Winters 

A warm bed can be a comfortable spot for your cat to relax and sleep in the chilling winter temperatures. 

If your cat spends time outdoors, make sure they have access to a warm shelter. An insulated outdoor cat house with bedding and a flap door can be a good option. 


During extremely cold weather, it’s best to keep your cat indoors. Cats are more susceptible to cold-related health issues, so providing a warm, indoor environment is the safest choice. 


Cat sweaters designed for pets can help keep them warm when they need to go outside or if your home does not get enough sunlight to keep it warm from the inside. 


Open curtains and blinds during the day to let in natural sunlight, which can help warm up your home and give your cat sunny spots to bask in. 


Jewellery, such as a necklace, bracelet, or earrings, is a classic and timeless gift choice. Consider selecting a piece that matches her style and preferences.

A beautifully decorated Karwa Chauth thali can be a meaningful and traditional gift. You can customise it with your wife's name or a special message.

Compile your cherished memories together in a custom photo frame with a picture of a special moment the two of you shared. It's a thoughtful way to remind her of your love.


Plan a romantic dinner at her favourite restaurant. Spending quality time together can be one of the most meaningful gifts you can give.

Consider buying your wife a beautiful saree or a stylish outfit of her choice. Clothing is a thoughtful and practical gift. You can even select something that she's been eyeing for a while.

Israeli poll finds 49% citizens support holding off on Gaza invasion

<p>Drones triggered explosions in two Egyptian towns located on the Red Sea on Friday (Oct 27), according to the Egyptian army.

<p>With no end in sight to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, a third set of peace talks began in Malta on Saturday (Oct 29), a gathering which saw the presence of over 60 national security advisers, media reports said. Evidently, Moscow was absent from the talks and even went on to criticise&nbsp;it.</p>

<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in a statement, highlighted the participation of 66 countries as evidence that his Peace Formula which he proposed last year has since gone "global." Notably, these talks come in the wake of previous peace talk gatherings in Jeddah and Copenhagen. The Ukrainian delegation is now aspiring to ultimately convene a summit involving heads of state.</p>

<p>Zelensky also called for the plan's joint implementation to reflect "not a particular national position, but the position of people, of all mankind."</p>

<p>"We shall prepare a joint action plan and then submit it to the Global Peace Summit – at the level of leaders – to approve and implement it for the sake of peace, for the sake of the protection of every nation from wars. And let this result be our common legacy for humanity!" he said.</p>

Israel-Turkey relations plunged to a new low as Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan chastised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over his recent remarks against Israel saying, "A snake will remain a snake".

Israel-Turkey relations plunged to a new low as Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan chastised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over his recent remarks against Israel saying, "A snake will remain a snake". He reportedly said that the Turkish President “tried to improve his image, but remains an anti-semite.” Erdogan had accused Israel of being a "war criminal" and an "occupier" during his hour-long speech at a pro-Palestine rally where he also reaffirmed his stance that Hamas should not be labelled as a terrorist organisation as they are "freedom fighters". He also expressed his strong disapproval of certain Western countries' "unconditional" support for Israel.

"We will tell the whole world that Israel is a war criminal. We are making preparations for this. We will declare Israel a war criminal," he said adding, "Israel has been openly committing war crimes for 22 days, but the Western leaders cannot even call on Israel for a ceasefire, let alone react to it." The crowd in Istanbul listening to the Turkish President was seen waving the Palestinian flags.

'A snake will remain a snake': Israeli envoy to UN slams Erdogan as relations with Turkey plummet

<p>Around 7,000 pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered on the Brooklyn Bridge during a march on Saturday (Oct 28), voicing their support for the Islamist terrorist group Hamas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Freedom by any means, land back by any means," a 24-year-old protester from Queens said during the three-mile "Flood Brooklyn for Gaza" march which started at 3 pm in front of the Brooklyn Museum in Crown Heights.</p>

<p>Dorian said, "I believe the settler state of Israel must be taken down."</p>

<p>Supporters of the protesters lined up along the road while distributing water to the marching demonstrators in 80-degree heat. However, those who defended Israel were booed by the massive rally.</p>

<p>The demonstrators were seen carrying anti-Israel banners with anti-semitic slogans such as “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will be Free." The rally headed north along Flatbush Avenue to the Barclays Center, and then converged on the Brooklyn Bridge.</p>

<p>The huge demonstrations halted traffic on the Manhattan-bound side around 6 pm as some scaled metal barriers and waved Palestinian flags.</p>

<p>A 67-year-old woman reportedly said,&nbsp;“It’s not a question of ‘justified.’ If you are occupied, you fight back and do what they did…they will fight back."&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I’m in support of the solidarity of the Palestinian people because the genocide of now, I mean, there’s been so many times I can push you before you push back right?” said another Palestinian supporter.</p>

<p>Massive protests have also broken out in cities across West Asia after the deadly strike on a Gaza hospital which claimed to have killed hundreds of Palestinians.</p>

'Flood Brooklyn for Gaza' rally held by thousands in support of Palestinians

<p>Qatar has said that the Hamas' politial bureau in Doha is "useful"&nbsp;for aiding in hostage release amid the Islamist group's war with Israel, media reports said. As Qatar continues to mediate talks between Israel and Hamas, the country's foreign ministry spokesperson&nbsp;Majed al-Ansari told a Western media outlet,&nbsp;“As long as this channel is useful in creating peace, we have to have it. We cannot afford to lose it."&nbsp;</p>

<p>“This channel has been very instrumental in countering the escalations that took place,” he said adding that, “It is now useful during this escalation. It is the only way that we are mediating the release of these hostages and for them to get back home to their families."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The officials also stated that Qatar's negotiations with Hamas contributed to reducing tensions in September following a two-week period of Palestinian riots along its borders.</p>

<h2><strong>Qatar-Hamas ties&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Qatar has had a controversial relationship with Hamas, which is designated as a terrorist organisation by several countries, including the United States, the European Union, and Israel. The country has been accused of providing financial and political support to Hamas, and it has hosted several senior Hamas leaders, including Ismail Haniyeh.<br />
