Know Who Was Ashwatthama Before Watching Kalki 2898 AD

Prabhas-Deepika Padukone-Amitabh Bachchan starrer Kalki 2898 AD is touted as this year’s most anticipated cinematic spectacle. Ever since Amitabh Bachchan’s portrayal of Ashwatthama in the epic was revealed, audiences have been intrigued to learn more about the mysterious character. 

As the son of Dronacharya and Kripi, Ashwatthama is regarded as the fifth incarnation of Lord Shiva.


Ashwatthama possessed knowledge of various divine weapons, such as the Narayanastra, Brahmastra, and Brahmashirastra, making him one of the most formidable warriors of the Mahabharata. However, his impulsive nature ultimately led to his downfall.

According to the Mahabharata, the name "Ashwatthama" signifies "the sacred voice resembling that of a horse," stemming from the unique cry he emitted at birth. He is also known by other names such as Dronaputra, Guruputra, and Kripi Kumara.

At birth, Ashwatthama bore a divine gem on his forehead, granting him dominion over all beings below humans and providing him with protection against hunger, thirst, fatigue, ageing, diseases, and even weaponry. This gem rendered him nearly indestructible and immortal.

He was renowned as a formidable Maharathi who fought on the side of the Kauravas against the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra War. 

After Ashwatthama tried to kill Uttara’s unborn child, Lord Krishna cursed him with immortality. It's believed that Ashwatthama still wanders around Narmada Ghat. People performing the Narmada Parikrama may encounter him there.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258 Spoilers Out - Read Here

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258 is slated to be released on April 29, at 12:00 AM JST.

In chapter 257, Sukuna revealed that Jin Itadori was a reincarnation of his deceased twin. Yuji used Blood Manipulation and Shrine to drive Sukuna into a corner. Here are the spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258:

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258 explains how Black Flash can trigger Reverse Cursed Technique and heal the user. As a result of Yuji's relentless attacks, Sukuna has been unable to recover. Yuji's Black Flash strikes fell just between Megumi and Sukuna's souls.

Sukuna releases the Malevolent Shrine, and his surroundings begin to slash. The chapter will have a flashback to Yuji, Choso, Shoko, and others discussing the use of RCT against Sukuna.

Choso tells Yuji to eat the remains of his brothers so that he can also convert blood into cursed energy. He then asks to pair Yuji with someone who uses RCT during the soul-swapping training.

Back on the battlefield, Yuji conjures a simple domain. He noticed that Sukuna's domain was unfinished. It is discovered that Sukuna cannot sustain his domain indefinitely, and it will collapse in 99 seconds.

Sukuna's slashes overwhelm Yuji's Simple Domain, resulting in his foot being fully severed. Sukuna instantly summons the flames (Open/Fuuga) that he previously used against Jogo in Shibuya.

Harvey Weinstein's 2020 Rape Case Overturned: A Timeline of Events

A New York appeals court has overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction on charges of sexual assault and rape. The case had ignited the #MeToo movement.
 The case may now reopen in court now and accusers may have to testify for the case once again. 
Here's a look at the timeline of events. 


Investigations by The New York Times and The New Yorker reveal accusations that Mr Weinstein mistreated women and that his company covered it up

Weinstein surrenders to the police after being indicted on charges of rape and criminal sexual act. The rape charge stems from an alleged assault on an aspiring actress, Jessica Mann, at a Manhattan hotel in 2013. The criminal sexual act charge involves Lucia Evans, a marketing executive who told investigators that Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex on him during a meeting in his office in 2004.

Prosecutors add charges against Mr. Weinstein related to accusations that he forced oral sex on Miriam Haley, a former production assistant on the television show 'Project Runway,' in his Manhattan apartment in July 2006.

Prosecutors obtain a new indictment against Mr. Weinstein, allowing them to call as a witness Annabella Sciorra, an actress who said that Mr. Weinstein raped her at her Manhattan apartment in 1993 or 1994.

After a monthlong trial in which they hear testimony from Harvey's accusers, jurors in New York began deliberations.


Harvey Weinstein is sentenced to 23 years in prison..


Weinstein appeals his New York conviction, saying several women who had accused him of sexual assault should not have been allowed to testify.

A New York appeals court upholds Mr. Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on felony sex crimes in a unanimous decision.

Weinstein is sentenced to 16 years in prison in the Los Angeles case, with that prison term to begin after he serves his time in New York.

New York’s highest court overturns the 2020 conviction, ruling that Weinstein was not tried solely on the crimes he was charged with, but instead for much of his past behavior.

6 Ways To Stop Blood Sugar From Spiking After Breakfast 

It is better to eat only the eggs and not pair them with bread as that can spike blood sugar. 

There is a slower release of energy from whole grains and this keeps blood sugar levels stable. Meanwhile, white bread can lead to a rapid sugar spike. 

3. Check Portion Size While Consuming Bread With Eggs


One should check the portion size when it comes to consuming bread along with eggs, so as to avoid blood sugar fluctuations.  

4. Opt For Seed-Based Or Whole Grain Alternatives


Instead of traditional bread, one can go for seed-based or whole-grain alternatives which gently impact the glycemic response. 

5. Go For Low-Carb Tortillas Or Sliced Vegetables


To avoid a spike in blood sugar, one can go for low-carb tortillas or sliced vegetables for breakfast. 

One can pair eggs with low-glycemic options like cucumbers and bell peppers which support stable energy levels throughout the day.

World Penguin Day 2024: 5 Lesser-Known Facts About Penguins 

While many people associate penguins with icy landscapes, not all penguins live in cold climates. Some species, like the Galápagos penguin, inhabit warmer regions near the equator. Penguins can be found in diverse environments, from Antarctica to the Galápagos Islands and even parts of Australia and Africa.

Despite their appearance, penguins don't have wings like birds of flight. Instead, their flippers have evolved to serve as powerful and efficient paddles for swimming.

Penguins are highly social animals and often form large colonies for breeding and nesting. These colonies can range in size from a few dozen to several thousand individuals, depending on the species.

Penguins are known for their distinct mating habits, which vary among species. For example, Emperor penguins engage in a lengthy courtship dance, while Adélie penguins build nests from pebbles to attract mates.

Penguins have evolved various adaptations to survive in their harsh environments. One lesser-known fact is that penguins can drink seawater. Specialised glands located near their eyes filter excess salt from their bloodstream, allowing them to ingest seawater while foraging at sea.

World Malaria Day: 6 Things You Must Know About Malaria

Caused By Parasites, Not Bacteria or Viruses

Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, which are transmitted to humans through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. 

Malaria has plagued human populations for millennia. Historical records suggest that malaria likely originated in Africa and spread to other parts of the world through human migration and trade routes. 

While fever is the most common symptom of malaria, the disease can present with a wide range of symptoms, including chills, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. 

Malaria Disproportionately Affects Children In Sub-Saharan Africa 

Malaria is particularly deadly for children under the age of five in sub-Saharan Africa, where the majority of malaria cases and deaths occur. 

Over time, the parasites that cause malaria have developed resistance to commonly used antimalarial drugs, making treatment more challenging. 

While there is currently no widely available malaria vaccine, several preventive measures can help reduce the risk of infection, including the use of insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor residual sprays to kill mosquitoes, and antimalarial medications for travellers to high-risk areas.

6 Benefits of Eating One Garlic Clove Every Night

Garlic contains compounds like allicin, which have antimicrobial properties that may help strengthen the immune system, reducing the risk of infections.

Garlic is rich in antioxidants that help protect the body from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, reducing the risk of chronic diseases.



Raw garlic stimulates digestion and aids in the proper functioning of the digestive system, promoting better nutrient absorption and preventing digestive issues.

Garlic contains compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation in the body and alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions.

Garlic can support the body's natural detoxification process by helping eliminate toxins and heavy metals, thus promoting overall health.

Disclaimer: While these potential benefits are noteworthy, it's essential to remember that individual responses to garlic can vary, and consuming excessive amounts may cause digestive discomfort or other adverse effects in some people. It's always a good idea to consult with a doctor before making significant changes to your diet. 

How To Make Easy, Fresh Sambar Powder At Home


Heat a dry skillet or pan over medium heat. Add coriander seeds, dried red chilies, chana dal, urad dal, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, black peppercorns, and mustard seeds to the pan.

Dry roast the spices, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant and slightly browned. Be careful not to burn them, as this can impart a bitter taste to the sambar powder. This process usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

Once the spices are roasted, remove them from the heat and let them cool completely.

Transfer the cooled spices to a spice grinder or blender. Add turmeric powder to the mixture. Grind the spices into a fine powder. You may need to grind the spices in batches, depending on the size of your grinder or blender.
