Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti: Teachings of Sikh Guru Still Relevant in Modern World

Guru Gobind Singh was the 10th and last Sikh Guru. He was a warrior and philosopher who at the age of nine became the leader of Sikhs after his father Guru Teg Bahadur was executed by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. 

Be a warrior with a noble cause who stands against injustice, promises to uphold dharma, is inwardly spiritual, is a fearless soul and is compassionate within oneself, said Guru Gobind Singh.

He believed in non-discrimination, justice and freedom for everyone irrespective of the caste, colour, religion or creed. He had the deepest regard for all religions and believed that the difference is only man-made.

The words have the power to either transform a life or cut a wound so deep that is beyond healing. Guru Gobind Singh taught his people to be mindful and cautious when speaking to others.

There is no religion greater than humanity. Guru Gobind Singh devoted his life to the happiness of his people and made many sacrifices to serve mankind. One must do as much as possible to serve and help those in need or trouble.

Love has the power to turn something basic into gold. Guru Gobind Singh believed that God is one and omnipresent. Those who love God and his creations shall attain divinity and salvation.

Guru Gobind Singh always asked everyone to practice humility, have a kind heart and doesn’t expect anything in return, not even gratitude. He said he was the servant of God and it was the people who believed in him, who gave him the status of a guru.

Sumit Nagal's Historic Run at Australian Open

India's Sumit Nagal defeated World No. 31 Alexander Bublik 6-4, 6-2, 7-6(5) in straight sets and advanced to the 2nd round of the Australian Open on Tuesday.

First Indian in Ages to Achieve Such Feat

With Tuesday's match, Nagal became the first Indian since Ramesh Krishnan at the 1989 Australian Open to beat a seeded player at a Grand Slam.

Sumit Nagal, from India's Haryana state, ranks 137th in the world rankings. But he has displayed remarkable composure and resilience from the beginning.

Nagal recovered from a series of injuries and increased his ranking to 122 after being ranked outside the top 500 for much of last year.

Nagal's win is a landmark victory for Indian tennis as well, as he became only the fifth Indian in the men's singles category to reach the second round of the Australian Open.

Nagal is all set to face the winner of the Mackenzie McDonald and Shang Juncheng match in the second round of Australian Open 2024 on Thursday, Jan 18.

How Scientifically Accurate is Nolan's 'Interstellar'?

Released in 2014, Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" is perhaps one of the best sci-fi movies ever made. It features Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Michael Caine in lead roles. McConaughey, who plays the role of ex-NASA pilot Joseph Cooper, is tasked to pilot a spacecraft, along with a team of researchers, to find a new planet for humans when Earth becomes uninhabitable in the future.

Movie Garnered Respectable Status in Scientific Community

Over the years, Interstellar has gained massive respect in the scientific community with how realistic it is. But how much of this movie is rooted in actual science is still debatable.

Nolan's movie accurately depicted black holes five years before the first real proof of how they looked came out. According to a report by Screen Rant, visual effects supervisor Paul Franklin and his team pulled off the depiction so well that it resembled photos of the actual black holes captured by the  Event Horizon Telescope in 2019.

A Physicist Guided Nolan to make the Movie

Nolan took guidance from Caltech theoretical physicist Kip Thorne who had served as Interstellar's official science consultant and an executive producer. One of the most respected figures when it comes to astrophysics, Thorne is a recipient of the Nobel Prize in 2017 for his research on gravitational waves. Nolan relied on Thorne’s research to figure out changes in the space-time continuum for the movie.

Neil deGrasse Tyson liked Interstellar over Another Sci-Fi Epic

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who is widely known for simplifying the study of space, praised Interstellar over Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. In an interview with NBC, Tyson praised Interstellar's accurate exploration of concepts, such as Einstein’s theory of relativity and about curvature of space.

Red gowns, sumptuous purple frocks and lots of basic, sexy black ruled Emmys red carpet.

Emmy Awards 2024: Biggest Snubs and Surprises

The TV Academy delivered on its promise of acknowledging the best works on TV in the past year as Succession and The Bear won six awards each – from best drama/comedy to acting nods. While some shows got all the love they deserved from the jury of the TV Academy, there were some that got surprisingly snubbed. Here are some key highlights from the awards night.

Among the biggest wins was the media dynasty drama series Succession which won Best Drama Series at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards. The series won six awards in total.

The Bear picked six awards during the ceremony, a tie with Succession. It won three acting prizes, including Jeremy Allen White for Best Actor in Comedy, and Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach for supporting roles.

Sir Elton John earned himself an EGOT status with the latest Emmy win. He won his first Emmy Award with Elton Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium, winning in the Best Live Variety Special category.

The Emmys paid tribute to Matthew Perry as an emotional cover of Friends’ theme song was played during the In Memoriam Tribute special.

One of the biggest snubs of the night was Better Call Saul. Jimmy McGill did not win a single Emmy for his role as Bob Odenkirk on the show.

There was no mention of Ted Lasso either, amid The Bear and Succession wins.

Honey mixed in tea or taken on its own is a good common remedy for sore throat. According to various research reviews, honey is just as effective as the cough suppressant dextromethorphan at taming coughs in children. 

Gargling with warm salt water helps relieve sore throats and helps break down secretions. It may also aid in the reduction of germs in the throat. Add half a teaspoon of salt to a full glass of warm water to make a saltwater solution. 

While saltwater gargles are more popular, gargling with a baking soda-saltwater mixture can also help soothe a sore throat. This oral solution can reduce bacteria and inhibit fungal growth. 

Chamomile tea has long been used for therapeutic purposes, including healing sore throats. It may also stimulate your immune system, assisting your body in fighting the illness that caused sore throat. 

Fenugreek comes in a variety of forms. Fenugreek seeds can be eaten, fenugreek oil applied to the skin, or can be consumed as fenugreek tea. Fenugreek tea is a popular sore throat treatment. 

Garlic has natural antibacterial properties and contains allicin, a compound known for its ability to fight off viral infections. Including fresh garlic in your diet is beneficial against antimicrobial effects.
