<p><strong>For the adventurous fathers: </strong>A lot of people want to explore adventure in their later ages, something they might have missed while managing the home and responsibilities. For the fathers, who love trekking, Dzukou Valley is an unexplored and often termed as the Northeast’s Valley of Flowers. It gives the surreal experience of meadows, rare flowers, and crystal clear water streams between Nagaland and Manipur. During this time, it offers the view of thousands of blooming Dzukou lilies, nowhere else to be seen. With multiple facilities and amenities today, these treks are considered moderate even for older people with a decent level of fitness.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>For the history-loving father:</strong> Mandu is a forgotten architectural wonder, home to ancient Afghan architecture, palaces, stepwells, and poetic legends like Baz Bahadur and Rani Roopmati. It is an ancient fortress city which can take travellers back to the older era of grand ruins, poetic legends and medieval Indo-Islamic architecture. With places like Jahaz Mahal, Rani Roopmati Pavilion, Hindola Mahal, and Jami Masjid, the place is an epitome of romance and tragedy, famously known for the love story of Sultan Baz Bahadur and Rani Roopmati.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>For the spiritual father:</strong> India and spirituality go hand in hand, and a lot of people in their older age turn towards spirituality. While temples in places like Varanasi and Haridwar are commonly visited, a quiet and spiritual retreat in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, would be a different experience. Home to one of the largest and oldest Buddhist monasteries- the Mini Lhasa, Tawang is an epitome of tranquillity surrounded by snow-capped mountains, pine forests, meditation and prayers. The Sela Pass Lake and Madhuri Lake add to the pristine vibe, making it perfect for introspection and solitude. The Monpa people’s simple lifestyle and warm hospitality can reset fathers with rejuvenation and energy.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>Govind is a visionary travelpreneur with an experience of leading more than 200 community trips. He’s fond of all kinds of voyages, yet his favourite are motorbiking expeditions, hence he accounts for 30000kms of extreme rides. He can hold a conversation around business, human values and almost everything one can think of. The man knows how to get down to work and party, equally well.</i></p>

Cheers but also boos met US President Donald Trump as he attended a performance Wednesday of "Les Miserables" at Washington's premier cultural institution, which he has effectively seized control of since returning to power in January. Trump's appearance at the opening night of the hit musical "Les Miserables" at the renowned Kennedy Center could hardly have been more politically charged. The 78-year-old Republican recently orchestrated a conservative takeover of the famed arts venue, reportedly prompting some "Les Mis" cast members to boycott the show. "I couldn't care less. Honestly, I couldn't. All I do is run the country well," Trump told reporters when asked about a boycott as he arrived with First Lady Melania Trump. The show's tale of revolutionary fervor, featuring street protesters in 19th century France manning the barricades against a repressive leader also seemed to take on new relevance as the United States itself faces fresh turbulence over Trump's governance. When the presidential couple appeared Wednesday evening on the central balcony, emblazoned with a presidential seal, booing audience members appeared to struggle to make themselves heard over cheers and chants of "USA! USA!" - 'Dictatorial' behavior - Trump, who was joined by Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance at the premiere, has recently sent in troops to deal with protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles. "We're going to have a safe country... Remember, if I wasn't there... Los Angeles would have been burning to the ground," Trump insisted to reporters. California officials accuse him of "dictatorial" behavior and of manufacturing a confrontation by deploying thousands of National Guard troops and US Marines. "I think the irony is probably lost on him," Peter Loge, director of George Washington University's School of Media, told AFP. California's Democratic governor Gavin Newsom, who has harshly criticized Trump's actions in his state, reacted on X to news that Trump was attending the musical with the plea: "Someone explain the plot to him." The social injustice portrayed in Victor Hugo's 1862 novel -- coupled with songs such as "Do You Hear the People Sing?" and "I Dreamed a Dream" -- has long resonated with audiences around the world. Billionaire Trump, who had announced his decision to attend "Les Miserables" before the Los Angeles protests erupted, says he too has long been a fan. - 'Love the songs' - The real estate tycoon has played songs from the show at his rallies and political events. "I love the songs, I love the play," Trump told Fox News Digital last week. Asked which of the play's characters he most identified with, however, Trump punted to his wife. "That's a tough one... you better answer that one, honey," Trump replied. His attendance is yet another show of strength after installing himself as chairman of the center and replacing the entire board with loyalists in February. Loge said Trump's presence there was part of a broader effort at image-making by the reality TV star-turned-president. "Les Mis is a great spectacle. And it sounds smart. It's not just a show, it sounds like it stands for something," he said. Trump's takeover of the John F. Kennedy Center faced opposition in some quarters. A historically bipartisan-supported institution, it has never been led by a US president before. Hit show "Hamilton" canceled its run there in response. Trump countered by saying he had "never liked" the rap musical, which is about the birth of the United States and its first treasury secretary. Several key figures at the Kennedy Center -- including TV producer Shonda Rhimes who created "Grey's Anatomy" and musician Ben Folds -- resigned from their leadership positions. And the Vances -- Usha Vance is one of the new board members -- were booed by the Kennedy Center audience at a performance of the National Symphony Orchestra in March. Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center comes amid a broader assault on what he deems "woke" programming at cultural institutions, including the famed Smithsonian museums, as well as universities.

<p>Parts of northern India are now reeling under a heat wave, particularly Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, West Rajasthan, West Madhya Pradesh. The Indian weather agency IMD on Wednesday (June 11) declared heat wave conditions in parts of &nbsp;Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Chandigarh and the national capital Delhi and some places over Uttar Pradesh, East Rajasthan and East Madhya Pradesh. &nbsp;Warm night to severe warm night conditions were observed in isolated pockets of West Uttar Pradesh and West Rajasthan, and in isolated pockets of Punjab, East Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>It is important to understand what a heat wave is, and the health risks associated with it. Here is what you should know about how heat waves are declared in India, and how to stay safe during such severe weather.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>What is a heat wave?<br>&nbsp;</h2><p>A heat wave is defined as a long period of excessively hot weather, usually accompanied by humidity.

It is important to understand what a heat wave is, and the health risks associated with it. Here is what you should know about how heat waves are declared in India, and how to stay safe during such severe weather.



Parts of northern India are now reeling under a heat wave, particularly Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, West Rajasthan, West Madhya Pradesh. The Indian weather agency IMD on Wednesday (June 11) declared heat wave conditions in parts of Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Chandigarh and the national capital Delhi and some places over Uttar Pradesh, East Rajasthan and East Madhya Pradesh. Warm night to severe warm night conditions were observed in isolated pockets of West Uttar Pradesh and West Rajasthan, and in isolated pockets of Punjab, East Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. It is important to understand what a heat wave is, and the health risks associated with it. Here is what you should know about how heat waves are declared in India, and how to stay safe during such severe weather. What is a heat wave? A heat wave is defined as a long period of excessively hot weather, usually accompanied by humidity. Heat waves can pose health risks, and put a strain on infrastructure, particularly due to high electricity consumption for cooling. Heat waves are declared when temperatures exceed the average for a specific region. Geologically, heat waves are caused by a combination of intense sunlight, high-pressure systems that trap warm air and lead to hot winds, reduced cloud cover, and lack of cooling breezes. Heat waves typically last for days, but can extend to weeks. Heatstroke, dehydration are among health risks associated with heat waves, which are typically accompanied by power outages due to a rise in cooling demand. How does IMD declare heat waves in India? The Indian weather agency, India Meteorological Department (IMD), defines a heat wave based on specific temperature thresholds and deviations from the normal conditions for various regions of the country. Usually for the plains, a heat wave is declared when the maximum temperature hits 40 degree Celsius and is between 4.5 to 6.4 degrees Celsius above the normal for that region. A severe heat wave is declared if the temperature exceeds 6.4 Degrees Celsius above normal, or goes to 47 Degrees Celsius or higher. For coastal India, which has high humidity, the heat wave threshold is 37 Degrees, while the deviation criteria remain the same as above. For hilly areas, a heat wave is declared when temperatures reach 30 Degrees Celsius with an above-normal variation of 4.5 Degrees to 6.4 Degrees Celsius. Heat waves and red or yellow alerts are declared by the IMD when the above-normal temperatures are recorded for two consecutive days at a specific location. IMD also takes into account regional climate variations. This is because what constitutes extreme heat in coastal cities is different from a dry region like Rajasthan. With these criteria, the IMD can issue warnings, alerting the public to take health measures and governments to mitigate the impact. In India, heat waves usually run between the months of April and June. Some heat waves can be deadly, with several deaths reported every year, with the casualties are often found among low-income communities in urban and poor areas. How to be safe during a heat wave Here are some ways to minimise heat exposure and maintain hydration during heat waves: Stay hydrated: Even if you are not thirsty, drink a lot of water throughout the day. Carry a water bottle with you. At the same time, avoid sugary drinks, caffeine, and alcohol, as they can cause more dehydration. If you are sweating too much, try drinking electrolyte-rich fluids like oral rehydration solutions. Stay cool: Stay inside cool or air-conditioned spaces and shaded areas of homes, malls, public places. If air conditioning is not available near you, try to take cool showers, or wipe your body with damp cloths. As much as possible, stay in indoor or shaded areas, particularly during the peak heat hours that are between 10 a.m and 4 p.m. Dress for the summer : Go for heat-reflecting light colours like white. Use clothes made from material that's lightweight, like linen. When possible, wear loose-fitting clothes. Breathable fabrics like cotton are the way to dress in summer. If possible, wear hats, caps and sunglasses.

What you should check in your AC It is a good idea to carry out proper maintenance of ACs ahead of the hot season. Check if your AC units are installed properly. Are there any loose connections? Are there any parts that are substandard? Do you live in a place that is prone to power surges? Have you checked for any manufacturing defects in compressors, fans or other parts? Prevention of AC blasts and fire Prevention starts at the AC installation itself. Make sure that your AC is installed by a certified professional. Ask at the installation stage itself if electrical connections are secure and if safety standards have been followed. While it is essential to do an overall maintenance of your AC at least once a year, try to clean or replace filters at least once in three months if possible. This will help prevent the buildup of dust and straining of the AC. Things to check during annual maintenance During annual maintenance, take special care to inspect wiring, refrigerant levels as well as wear and tear of various components. Do not plug more than one high-power appliance like AC into the same electrical outlets. Ideally, you should use a dedicated power circuit for each unit of AC to minimise risk of power surge and short circuit. If possible, install surge protectors and stabilisers to safeguard against voltage spikes. Ventilation for the outdoor unit If you are using a split AC, make sure that the outdoor unit has proper ventilation to prevent overheating. Clean the outdoor unit periodically and make sure it is free from debris like leaves, dirt or bird excreta. Buy AC units that have non-flammable or low-flammabe refrigerants. It is a good idea to make sure leak detection systems are in place for units using flammable refrigerants. Do not ignore AC warning signs Foul smells and unusual noises are typical warning signs that your AC needs checking. Another red flag is frequent tripping of circuit breakers. In case such things happen, immediately turn off your AC and seek maintenance. If possible, install smoke detectors near your AC unit. Keep a fire extinguisher rated for electrical fires handy nearby. Try not to run AC throughout the night AC blasts typically happen when people are asleep, and because the AC has been running continuously for hours. While it may not be entirely possible during hot summers, it is a good idea to give breaks to the AC to prevent overheating. Better safe than sorry If you are retrofitting an older AC, make sure it meets current safety standards. Outdated units can prove to be costly. Educate members of your household, particularly children, on safe use and operation of AC and its remote controls. Do not tamper with your AC or attempt DIY repairs. Always go for professional installation, routine maintenance, electrical safety, and vigilance for warning signs.

Their second child, a son named Slim Easy, came just over a year later on Jan. 6, 2022. In December 2023, the couple announced they were expecting their third child.<br><br>“volume 3 coming next year 🤍,” they wrote in a joint post on Instagram of Nara debuting her baby bump.<br><br>In the weeks after her announcement, the model hosted an Instagram Q&amp;A where her followers asked her questions on everything, ranging from her choice to have home births to her decision to have another child.<br><br>She shared that while she was originally “adamant” about not having any more babies, she ultimately changed her mind. She had earlier mentioned that she wanted to be a young mother.&nbsp;<br>“I know that 22 is considered young nowadays, to be having kids, but I love being a young mom and growing with my kids,” she had written once on social media, addressing questions about being a young mum. “I never feel like I’m ‘missing out’ or not ‘living life’ like a girl in her 20s.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Everyone’s concept of what they want in life is unique to them and I wouldn’t change my journey at all."&nbsp;<br><br>The model has also sparked discussions online thanks to a popular video on TikTok, which projects her as a traditional stay-at-home mom, who spends hours cooking from scratch, managing household duties and promoting a homemaker's lifestyle.&nbsp;<br><br>While many admire her skill and devotion and the aesthetics of her videos, &nbsp;there are others who question the accessibility of this lifestyle, especially for moms juggling careers, busy schedules, or limited resources.<br>&nbsp;</p><h2>Cooks from a scratch</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nara initially wanted to be a marine biologist, but said her plans 'shifted' eventually as she now focuses on cooking and social media.&nbsp;<br><br>She has 4.6 million followers (and counting) on social media. Her typical cooking videos will grab your attention for the aesthetics, and she's cooking an elaborate meal from scratch. One would mostly find her dressed impeccably as she makes meals from scratch. A regular meatball and spaghetti dinner would involve making the spaghetti on her own instead of store-bought, along with creating the perfect sauce to accompany the meatballs.&nbsp;</p><p><br>In one March 2024 video, she shared how her children were craving cereal, so she made Cinnamon Toast Crunch from scratch. In another February 2024 post, Nara made homemade bagels and cream cheese to commemorate her and Lucky’s fourth wedding anniversary.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>After receiving hateful comments, Nara gave a disclaimer at the start of one of her videos that she enjoys cooking for others and that she isn’t expected to do it.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>“I just want to put a disclaimer out there that I enjoy taking care of people by cooking for them,” she said. “This is not something that is expected of me or something that I have to do.”</p>

<p>The couple are already parents to three children: daughters Rumble Honey and Whimsy Lou, and son Slim Easy. Lucky also shares a daughter, Gravity, from a previous relationship.<br><br>Ever since the couple announced their fourth pregnancy, fans are eager to find out what quirky name Baby no 4 will have.&nbsp;<br><br>Nara's fourth pregnancy has also created buzz as the couple had announced last year that they were finished growing their family.&nbsp;<br><br>Initially, the couple had plans to be a family of si,x but soon after the birth of Whimsy Lou, the couple had famoulsy announced that they were done growing their family.&nbsp;<br><br>In an interview, Lucky even joked that “having toddlers is the best birth control.”</p><h2>Who is Nara Smith?<br>&nbsp;</h2><p>Born to a South African mother and a German father, Nara grew up in Germany with two other siblings. She started modelling at the age of 14. She continued with her career after moving to California from Europe at the age of 18.&nbsp;<br><br>Nara said in her TikTok that she met Lucky through her modelling career when she first moved to Los Angeles, and after six months, the two got married on Feb. 21, 2020.<br><br>“the boy who stole my heart... I married my best friend today,” Nara captioned an Instagram video of herself jumping into Lucky’s arms as he swung her around on their wedding day.<br><br>On her wedding day, she wore a satin ivory Orseund Iris gown that featured long sleeves, a high neckline and a cutout at the chest and back. Lucky wore a baby blue suit with a darker blue tie.</p><h2>Nara and Lucky's growing family</h2><p>The couple welcomed their first child, Rumble Honey in October 2020. Their second child, a son named Slim Easy, came just over a year later on Jan. 6, 2022. In December 2023, the couple announced they were expecting their third child.<br><br>“volume 3 coming next year 🤍,” they wrote in a joint post on Instagram of Nara debuting her baby bump.<br><br>In the weeks after her announcement, the model hosted an Instagram Q&amp;A where her followers asked her questions on everything, ranging from her choice to have home births to her decision to have another child.<br><br>She shared that while she was originally “adamant” about not having any more babies, she ultimately changed her mind. She had earlier mentioned that she wanted to be a young mother.&nbsp;<br>“I know that 22 is considered young nowadays, to be having kids, but I love being a young mom and growing with my kids,” she had written once on social media, addressing questions about being a young mum. “I never feel like I’m ‘missing out’ or not ‘living life’ like a girl in her 20s.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Everyone’s concept of what they want in life is unique to them and I wouldn’t change my journey at all."&nbsp;<br><br>The model has also sparked discussions online thanks to a popular video on TikTok, which projects her as a traditional stay-at-home mom, who spends hours cooking from scratch, managing household duties and promoting a homemaker's lifestyle.&nbsp;<br><br>While many admire her skill and devotion and the aesthetics of her videos, &nbsp;there are others who question the accessibility of this lifestyle, especially for moms juggling careers, busy schedules, or limited resources.<br>&nbsp;</p><h2>Cooks from a scratch</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nara initially wanted to be a marine biologist, but said her plans 'shifted' eventually as she now focuses on cooking and social media.&nbsp;<br><br>She has 4.6 million followers (and counting) on social media. Her typical cooking videos will grab your attention for the aesthetics, and she's cooking an elaborate meal from scratch. One would mostly find her dressed impeccably as she makes meals from scratch. A regular meatball and spaghetti dinner would involve making the spaghetti on her own instead of store-bought, along with creating the perfect sauce to accompany the meatballs.&nbsp;</p>

Model-turned-TikToker Nara Smith just announced her fourth pregnancy. A popular face on TikTok and Instagram, Nara, 24, revealed on social media that she and her husband, model Lucky Blue Smith, were expecting their fourth baby together. The news comes less than a year after the couple publicly said they were finished growing their family after welcoming their third child, a baby girl, in April 2024. In an adorable Instagram video posted on June 8, the couple shared the happy news with the caption: “Baby 4 loading...” with a video that showed Nara’s baby bump on full display as the couple embraced outdoors. The couple are already parents to three children: daughters Rumble Honey and Whimsy Lou, and son Slim Easy. Lucky also shares a daughter, Gravity, from a previous relationship. Ever since the couple announced their fourth pregnancy, fans are eager to find out what quirky name Baby no 4 will have. Nara's fourth pregnancy has also created buzz as the couple had announced last year that they were finished growing their family. Initially, the couple had plans to be a family of si,x but soon after the birth of Whimsy Lou, the couple had famoulsy announced that they were done growing their family. In an interview, Lucky even joked that “having toddlers is the best birth control.” Who is Nara Smith? Born to a South African mother and a German father, Nara grew up in Germany with two other siblings. She started modelling at the age of 14. She continued with her career after moving to California from Europe at the age of 18. Nara said in her TikTok that she met Lucky through her modelling career when she first moved to Los Angeles, and after six months, the two got married on Feb. 21, 2020. “the boy who stole my heart... I married my best friend today,” Nara captioned an Instagram video of herself jumping into Lucky’s arms as he swung her around on their wedding day. On her wedding day, she wore a satin ivory Orseund Iris gown that featured long sleeves, a high neckline and a cutout at the chest and back. Lucky wore a baby blue suit with a darker blue tie. Nara and Lucky's growing family The couple welcomed their first child, Rumble Honey in October 2020. Their second child, a son named Slim Easy, came just over a year later on Jan. 6, 2022. In December 2023, the couple announced they were expecting their third child. “volume 3 coming next year 🤍,” they wrote in a joint post on Instagram of Nara debuting her baby bump. In the weeks after her announcement, the model hosted an Instagram Q&A where her followers asked her questions on everything, ranging from her choice to have home births to her decision to have another child. She shared that while she was originally “adamant” about not having any more babies, she ultimately changed her mind. She had earlier mentioned that she wanted to be a young mother. “I know that 22 is considered young nowadays, to be having kids, but I love being a young mom and growing with my kids,” she had written once on social media, addressing questions about being a young mum. “I never feel like I’m ‘missing out’ or not ‘living life’ like a girl in her 20s. Everyone’s concept of what they want in life is unique to them and I wouldn’t change my journey at all." The model has also sparked discussions online thanks to a popular video on TikTok, which projects her as a traditional stay-at-home mom, who spends hours cooking from scratch, managing household duties and promoting a homemaker's lifestyle. While many admire her skill and devotion and the aesthetics of her videos, there are others who question the accessibility of this lifestyle, especially for moms juggling careers, busy schedules, or limited resources. Cooks from a scratch Nara initially wanted to be a marine biologist, but said her plans 'shifted' eventually as she now focuses on cooking and social media. She has 4.6 million followers (and counting) on social media. Her typical cooking videos will grab your attention for the aesthetics, and she's cooking an elaborate meal from scratch. One would mostly find her dressed impeccably as she makes meals from scratch. A regular meatball and spaghetti dinner would involve making the spaghetti on her own instead of store-bought, along with creating the perfect sauce to accompany the meatballs. In one March 2024 video, she shared how her children were craving cereal, so she made Cinnamon Toast Crunch from scratch. In another February 2024 post, Nara made homemade bagels and cream cheese to commemorate her and Lucky’s fourth wedding anniversary. After receiving hateful comments, Nara gave a disclaimer at the start of one of her videos that she enjoys cooking for others and that she isn’t expected to do it. “I just want to put a disclaimer out there that I enjoy taking care of people by cooking for them,” she said. “This is not something that is expected of me or something that I have to do.”

Prolific British thriller writer Frederick Forsyth, who instantly became a global bestselling author when his book "The Day of the Jackal" was published in 1971, died on Monday, aged 86, his literary agents, Curtis Brown said. Forsyth famously penned his most famous work about a fictional assassination attempt on French president Charles de Gaulle by right-wing extremists in just 35 days after falling on hard times. "The Jackal" went on to be made into a hit film starring Edward Fox as the assassin. A Netflix remake last year with Eddie Redmayne in the lead role was released last year. "We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers," his agent Jonathan Lloyd said. Forsyth died at home surrounded by his family following a brief illness, according to Curtis Brown. The former journalist and pilot wrote over 25 books including "The Odessa File" (1972) and "The Dogs of War" (1974) and sold over 75 million copies worldwide. Many of his novels were also turned into films. "Only a few weeks ago I sat with him as we watched a new and moving documentary of his life ... and was reminded of an extraordinary life, well lived," said Lloyd. "After serving as one of the youngest ever RAF pilots, he turned to journalism, using his gift for languages in German, French and Russian to become a foreign correspondent in Biafra (in Nigeria)," he said. - 'Spectacular luck' - "Appalled at what he saw and using his experience during a stint as a secret service agent, he wrote his first and perhaps most famous novel, 'The Day Of The Jackal'," he added. A sequel to "The Odessa File", entitled "Revenge Of Odessa", on which he worked with thriller writer Tony Kent, is due to be published in August, his publisher Bill Scott-Kerr said. "His journalistic background brought a rigour and a metronomic efficiency to his working practice and his nose for and understanding of a great story kept his novels both thrillingly contemporary and fresh," Scott-Kerr added. Forsyth attributed much of his success to "luck", recalling how a bullet narrowly missed him while he was covering the bloody Biafra civil war between 1967 and 1970. "I have had the most spectacular luck all through my life," he told The Times last November in an interview. "Right place, right time, right person, right contact, right promotion -- and even just turning my head away when that bullet went past," he said. Asked why he had decided to give up writing -- although he later went back to it -- he told AFP in 2016 he'd "run out of things to say". "I can't just sit at home and do a nice little romance from within my study, I have to go out and check out places like Modagishu, Guinea Bissau, both hellholes in different ways," he said. Forsyth had two sons by his first wife. His second wife, Sandy, died last year. Conservative MP David Davis paid tribute to his friend as a "fabulous wordsmith". He told Sky News that Forsyth "was a great believer in the old values -– he believed in honour and patriotism and courage and directness and straightforwardness, and a big defender of our armed forces".

<p>In the video, Harry can be seen pressing play on the baby mama hit by Starrkeisha, dancing to the song. Meanwhile, Meghan starts to twerk before the couple moves into a rhythm together and gyrate around the room.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>‘AI Video’ claims the Internet</h2><p>Several critics on X claimed that Meghan’s video could not be from her time in the labour room. Some said her bump was too high and wrongly shaped to be real.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Other people alleged Meghan's ability to dance at more than 40 weeks pregnant meant she was a "superhuman" or her pregnancy was a sham.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>“This is crazy. I do not for one second believe this video is real. Who the heck dances like that when readying to labour? No one," one pointed out.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>"The bump is mishapen and she still doesn't look pregnant. Overloading lies. AI video."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another person questioned why Meghan was not linked to an IV drip to receive medication nor wearing a hospital gown.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"She's not in a hospital gown, not hooked up to a baby monitor," they said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"They wouldn't have started an IV on her when she was still in her street clothes and wouldn't have unhooked it so she could dance."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A person who claimed to be a nurse echoed the sentiment and said Prince Harry's wife would have had a cannula in her hand in labour.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Meghan shares unseen photos of Lilibet</h2><p>Meghan shared a few previously unseen photos of Lilibet to mark the special day. Lilibet is seventh in line to the British throne.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In one photo, Harry held baby Lilibet wrapped in a blanket, while a second photo showed the barefoot father and daughter duo holding hands.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>In the caption, Meghan said her husband and daughter have the "sweetest bond to watch unfold."<br>&nbsp;</p><p>"Daddy’s little girl and favourite adventurer, Happy birthday, Lili!" she said.</p>

Edmund White, the influential American novelist who chronicled gay life through his semi-autobiographical work, including dozens of books, several short stories and countless articles and essays, has died, his agent said Wednesday. He was 85. "Ed passed last night at home in NYC (New York City) of natural causes," agent Bill Clegg told AFP, adding White is survived by his husband Michael Carroll and a sister.

From his earliest publications, homosexuality was at the heart of his writing -- from the 1950s, when being gay was considered a mental illness, to the sexual liberation after the Stonewall riots in 1969, which he witnessed firsthand. Then came the AIDS years that decimated an entire generation. White himself would be affected directly -- he was diagnosed HIV positive in 1985 and lived with the condition for four decades. Tributes to the award-winning writer began pouring in on social media, including from his longtime friend and fellow prolific American author Joyce Carol Oates. "There has been no one like Edmund White!" Oates posted on X. "Astonishing stylistic versatility, boldly pioneering subject matter; darkly funny; a friend to so many over decades." Fellow author and playwright Paul Rudnick said on X that White was a "gay icon" whose novels, memoirs and non-fiction "changed and enhanced American literature." White was an avid traveler, spending years researching biographies of French authors Jean Genet and Marcel Proust. In the 1970s he co-wrote "The Joy of Gay Sex," a how-to guide and resource on relationships, which was a queer counter to "The Joy of Sex," the hugely popular 1972 illustrated sex manual. In the 2010s White suffered two strokes and a heart attack. But he kept writing. In this year's "The Loves of My Life," he recalled all the men he had loved -- White numbered his sexual partners at some 3,000.

<p>Indian artists Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash, sons of sarod virtuoso Ustad Amjad Ali Khan are passionate about their music, the message behind it and how they continuously reinvent their presentation style.

What can you tell us about that?&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A: We started a spring tour in April. Through April and May, we are performing in the United States. We also have concerts in Europe. We have a lot of concerts where we will also perform with my father, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan Sahab.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We always try to reinvent our style and change the way we present our music.

Google, I think, is one of the few companies that has their own musical orchestra, which I was very impressed with. It was called the Google Orchestra. So they played my father's concerts.

These will all be in the US.</p><h2>Working with legendary Ustad Amjad Ali Khan</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Q: How does it feel like working with your father Ustad Amjad Ali Khan? Has anything changed in the way you both perform with him now vs when you started. Is he stricter or easier to work with now?&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A: I think the relationship has become more of a guru and student now over the years. What can I say? I'm just so blessed to even sit alongside the stage with him. You know how they say that you remain a student till your last day? My father feels he's still learning, he's still reinventing himself. That way we are yet to be delivered, I think. So it's a very long journey.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would like to add that all your life experiences reflects onto your music. So what I was playing 20 years ago or 10 years ago – it’s not the same today. When crafting music, you incorporate all those experiences and continue on your journey without diluting tradition. I believe that in order to be contemporary, you don't have to murder tradition. So in my opinion, things can exist beautifully. My brother and I continue with our contemporary collaborations but our soul is classical music.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Q: Does it ever get intimidating working with your father?&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A: You see, when your Guru is your father, then it's a dual relationship you’re dealing with.

Luckily, he still hasn't thrown us out of his life.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We are just carrying forward on the journey that he took many years ago and we're just trying to flow along those along the river.</p><h2>Music: First choice?</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Q: Was music your first choice of profession?&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A: The atmosphere at home was so musically charged, that the language spoken was music and the air we were breathing had music in it. Even if my father was travelling, we had students who were constantly in the music room. So we automatically picked up the sarod and were playing. We grw up with sarods. Music has been the greatest wealth we've had in our family. So I don't think it was something outside the box to teach it.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Like I have twins today who are 12. I didn't realize until recently that they'll eventually be sitting on stage with us. It was never planned in such a way and they have their academic commitments, their PS five commitments and yet I see them sit down to practice and pick up the instrument.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Q: Have your kids told you what they want to become and if they will choose music like you did?&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A: My kids are 12 and they have already picked it up. We do concerts, which are called the Sarod Quintet, where it's my father, my brother, myself and Zohan and Abir performing. So we've done a lot of shows in India. In fact, we will be touring around India's Independence Day in August as well later. They also performed in Wigmore Hall with us in London. They played in Symphony Space in New York. They are just trying it out and seeking blessings at this point of time.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Eventually in the future if they want to do this, they will but right now, I think they're enjoying the process. They love the Q&amp;A sessions their grandfather has with them on stage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

We are just carrying forward on the journey that he took many years ago and we're just trying to flow along those along the river. Music: First choice? Q: Was music your first choice of profession? A: The atmosphere at home was so musically charged, that the language spoken was music and the air we were breathing had music in it. Even if my father was travelling, we had students who were constantly in the music room. So we automatically picked up the sarod and were playing. We grw up with sarods. Music has been the greatest wealth we've had in our family. So I don't think it was something outside the box to teach it. Like I have twins today who are 12. I didn't realize until recently that they'll eventually be sitting on stage with us. It was never planned in such a way and they have their academic commitments, their PS five commitments and yet I see them sit down to practice and pick up the instrument. Q: Have your kids told you what they want to become and if they will choose music like you did? A: My kids are 12 and they have already picked it up. We do concerts, which are called the Sarod Quintet, where it's my father, my brother, myself and Zohan and Abir performing. So we've done a lot of shows in India. In fact, we will be touring around India's Independence Day in August as well later. They also performed in Wigmore Hall with us in London. They played in Symphony Space in New York. They are just trying it out and seeking blessings at this point of time. Eventually in the future if they want to do this, they will but right now, I think they're enjoying the process. They love the Q&A sessions their grandfather has with them on stage.

Heart Lamp Book Review | Banu Mushtaq and Deepa Bhasthi deliver a fiery critique of patriarchy

<p>Music composer duo RUUH and JOH have been capturing the sentiment of their fans with one hit after another.
