Why Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana Screening In LA Has Upset Fans In India

The buzz around Ramayana just got louder, and not entirely for the right reasons. As excitement builds for Ranbir Kapoor's look as Lord Rama, the makers made a surprising move. The first visuals were unveiled in Los Angeles. Not in India. Fans back home noticed, and they are not happy. A Grand Reveal... But Not At Home? Ranbir Kapoor, along with director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra, travelled to Los Angeles to present the first visuals of Ramayana to a select global audience. While the move signals the film's massive international ambitions, it has also left many Indian fans feeling sidelined. After all, this isn't just any story-it's Ramayana, an epic deeply woven into Indian culture. So when the first glimpse went to an audience miles away, reactions online were swift and sharp. Internet Reactions Reddit, in particular, saw a wave of reactions, with users questioning the strategy and expressing frustration. A user wrote, "How is promoting ...

British Man, 26, Dies From Lightning Strike While Paddleboarding In Greece

A 26-year-old British tourist died after he was reportedly hit by lightning while paddleboarding in Greece, as per Guardian.  The unnamed man was in the sea during a thunderstorm in Agia Agathi, Rhodes, as his girlfriend filmed him from the beach, according to local media.

Greek newspaper Rodiaki reported that lightning struck the water near the man shortly before 1.30 pm local time on Tuesday, causing him to fall into the water injured.

Soon after the incident, emergency services dashed to the scene, and the man was taken to the shore. Rescuers frantically tried to save his life, following which medics took him to a local hospital before he was declared dead.

Though the Port Authority of Rhodes confirmed the man's age and that he was a British national, they gave no further information.

An investigation is now underway into the incident. 

A spokesperson said, ''This is an active case so we cannot give more details at the moment.''

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said, 'We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Rhodes and is in contact with local authorities.''

Last year, one man died and another was injured after lightning struck Mount Falakro in northern Greece.

Recently, a similar incident was witnessed in the US, when a 34-year-old man died and his young son was seriously injured after they were struck by lightning while walking from a bus stop in Texas.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
