Diwali Pooja is incomplete without the idols of Goddess Laxmi and Lord Ganesha. Every Diwali, a new set of idols is brought into the house as a symbol of new beginnings and positivity.


Panchamrit, made of 5 ingredients - milk, honey, ghee, Ganges water and curd is a must-have for Diwali pooja. Without these items, worshipping Goddess Lakshmi is considered incomplete.


Apart from decoration, fresh flowers are a symbol of unadulterated love and devotion to the gods. Lighting an incense stick fills the home with fragrance and positivity.


Aarti diya is customary in every pooja ceremony. It is lit and waved in front of the idols in a circular motion to show regard, respect and light.


In Hindu religion, any offering paid to the gods is done using a special worshipping glass and spoon. They are a must-have in your Diwali pooja as they lend a graceful look to the mandir (temple) in the house.

<p>Japan’s majestic Mount Fuji remain snowless, making it the latest time in the year that its slopes have been bare since the record started 130 years ago.</p>

<p>The volcano’s peak typically receives snow by early October, but due to unusually warm weather, no snowfall has been reported so far this year, the country’s weather agency said. Last year, the snow was first detected on October 5, as per AFP news agency.</p>

<p>However, due to warm weather, no snowfall has been observed till Tuesday (Oct 29). This marked the latest date since comparative data became available in 1984, beating the previous record of October 26 recorded twice in 1955 and 2016.</p>

<p>“Temperatures were high this summer, and these high temperatures continued into September, deterring cold air” which brings snow, Yutaka Katsuta, a forecaster at Kofu Local Meteorological Office told the AFP news agency.</p>

<p>Katsuta said climate change might have impacted the delay in the snowcap’s formation. Japan experienced its joint hottest summer on record with temperatures between June and August being 1.76 Celsius higher than average.</p>

<p>In September, temperatures continued to be warmer than expected as the sub-tropical jet stream's more northerly position allowed a warmer southerly flow of air over Japan.</p>

<p>Nearly 1,500 areas in Japan had been classed as "extremely hot" days, as described by the country's Meteorological Society.</p>

<p>For the rain to turn into snow, the temperature has to be around the freezing point. October has seen the heat ease slightly, but it has still been a warmer-than-average month.</p>

<p>Mount Fuji, which is southwest of Tokyo, is Japan's highest mountain at 3,776m (12,460 ft). It is covered in snow for most of the year but during the July-September, which is the hiking season more than 220,000 visitors trudge up its steep, rocky slopes. Many climb through the night to see the sunrise from the summit.</p>

<p>A woman apparently lashed out at her potential match after finding his salary was Rs 3 lakhs ($3,568) per annum and not Rs 30 lakh ($3 million) per annum, as claimed earlier. The screenshot of the conversation was shared by a men’s rights activist on social media platform X.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Though we don’t know the entire conversation between the woman and the man, nor we can confirm the identity of the two, what appears from the posted screenshot is that the woman was pressing on the man for an early engagement.</p>

<p>However, when she found that the man had a low salary, the conversation took a wild turn immediately, as seen from the screenshot.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>US elections 2024:</strong> The 2024 United States presidential election will be the 60th quadrennial US presidential election. This will be the first presidential election under the electoral vote distribution determined by the 2020 census. These elections are scheduled to be held on November 5 (Tuesday).&nbsp;</p>

<p>During this presidential election year, the president and vice president will be elected. Approximately 244 million people are eligible to vote in the upcoming US presidential election next month. In 2020, about two-thirds of these eligible voters participated. But is there an option for the voters to vote online in the presidential election? Check out here:</p>

<h2><strong>US elections 2024: Can you vote online?&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>In US presidential elections, online voting is usually not available as a popular option. Most states have not adopted online voting systems due to concerns about security, privacy and reliability. In most elections in the US, you need to vote either in person at an official polling place or by casting an absentee ballot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, there are a few exceptions and other remote voting methods available:</p>

<h3><strong>Absentee Voting</strong></h3>

<p>Absentee voting is available in all US states and is the primary way voters can vote remotely. You can request an absentee ballot if you're unable to vote in person. Many states allow absentee voting without requiring a specific reason, while others may require voters to meet certain criteria, such as:</p>

<p>- Being out of the country or state on election day</p>

<p>- Having a disability or illness</p>

<p>Absentee ballots are usually submitted by mail, although some states allow drop-off locations.</p>

<h3><strong>Military and Overseas Voters</strong></h3>

<p>Under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), US citizens who are members of the military or live abroad can vote remotely using an absentee ballot. Some states allow these voters to submit their ballots electronically via fax, email or secure web portals, although this varies by state.</p>

<h3><strong>Electronic Voting for People with Disabilities</strong></h3>

<p>In some states, voters with disabilities are allowed to request an electronic ballot that can be filled out and submitted electronically. However, this is generally limited to specific populations and is not equivalent to full online voting.</p>

<p>The woman, identified as Li, hails from central China’s Henan province. She suddenly became unresponsive that she could no longer eat, drink move or engage in conversation, according to a report by Chinese media outlet Hongxing News on October 15.</p>

<p>The report says Li was rebuked by her team leader a month ago, which led to her prolonged dejection. Her condition worsened as the days passed, so much so that her head would hang in mid-air if her family removed the pillow beneath it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Li has to be reminded to use the toilet by her family, as she can no longer keep a tab on her physical cues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Li’s doctor Jia Dehuan, who works at the Zhengzhou Eighth People’s Hospital, described her as a “wooden” figure who is no longer able to respond to her surroundings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jia explained this strange condition is known as catatonic stupor, which is a symptom of depression.&nbsp;</p>

5 Times Scientists Quoted 
Bhagavad Gita

Several prominent scientists have expressed their admiration for the wisdom and philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita, often drawing connections between its spiritual insights and scientific exploration.

"When I read the Bhagavad Gita and reflect on how God created this universe, everything else seems so superfluous."

Einstein admired the profound spiritual wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, considering it a philosophical work that illuminated the nature of the universe.

"I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

This famous quote is from the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32) which Oppenheimer recited after witnessing the first successful atomic bomb test. He was deeply influenced by the text and found parallels between its teachings and his scientific work.

"I go to the Upanishads to ask questions."

While not directly about the Bhagavad Gita, Bohr’s reference to the Upanishads, ancient Indian scriptures closely related to the Gita, reveals his admiration for Indian philosophy and its understanding of the deeper realities of existence.

"The gift of mental power comes from God, divine being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power."


Tesla, while not explicitly quoting the Bhagavad Gita, was known to be inspired by its teachings and the philosophy of Vedanta, which profoundly shaped his understanding of the universe.


"After having read the Gita, it appears clear to me that a deeper understanding of nature is only possible through spiritual exploration."


Heisenberg was deeply impressed by the Bhagavad Gita’s exploration of reality and found parallels between its teachings and his work in quantum mechanics.

Why Airplane Windows Are Rounded, Not Square


Rounded windows help distribute air pressure evenly across the surface, minimizing stress on the fuselage. In contrast, square windows have sharp corners, which concentrate stress and increase the risk of cracks.

After early aircraft disasters like the de Havilland Comet crashes in the 1950s (due to square windows), rounded windows were introduced as a safer design to prevent similar accidents.


Rounded shapes are naturally more resistant to the fluctuating pressure changes experienced during takeoff, cruising at high altitudes, and landing, enhancing the durability of the aeroplane’s structure.


Smooth, rounded shapes cause less drag than angular designs, contributing slightly to the aircraft's overall aerodynamic efficiency.


Planes need to maintain internal pressure at high altitudes, and rounded windows help the aircraft handle the stress from cabin pressurization more effectively than square ones.


Rounded windows provide a more pleasant view and reduce glare and distortion compared to square windows, enhancing the overall passenger experience.
