From Boss To Ally: TTV Dhinakaran's Dramatic Return To AIADMK Headquarters

AMMK (Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam) chief TTV Dhinakaran, who literally ran the AIADMK for a while after Jayalalithaa's death in 2017, returned to the party headquarters on Monday after nine years - this time as an NDA ally.  The occasion was the finalisation of seats for the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly elections and Dhinakaran's party was offered 11 seats. Asked about his earlier stint in the building, Dhinakaran said, "You say I am coming here after nine years. But for me this is not a new place. I've been coming since Amma's (Jayalalithaa's) days."  Read: NDA Inks Deal: E Palaniswami To Get 175-Odd Seats, BJP 27, PMK Share Down "Our objective is to defeat the DMK.

Man Watches Dhurandhar 2 Instead Of Booking Hotel After Vaishno Devi Yatra Halt

In an unusual turn of events, a pilgrim visiting Vaishno Devi found a creative way to manage an unexpected delay during his journey. Instead of booking a hotel room, he chose to spend the night watching a film, turning the situation into a cost-saving experience.

Madhav, who went on a pilgrimage to Vaishno Devi, shared his experience on Twitter (formerly Twitter). He explained that as soon as he arrived at the pilgrimage site, he learned that the pilgrimage had been suspended. Since night darshan was not possible, he had to make arrangements for accommodation.

At the same time, the rent for a night in nearby hotels was around Rs 1,500, so he began considering other options.

To save money, Madhav decided to watch a night show of Dhurandhar 2 for Rs 300. The 3-hour, 49-minute film provided a comfortable way to spend the night.

He explained that by watching the movie instead of staying in a hotel, he saved Rs 1,200 and was also entertained. He said that by watching the movie for Rs 300, he saved the remaining money instead of spending Rs 1,500 on a hotel.

Plans For Next Morning

Madhav, along with another devotee, said that this decision allowed him to relax and save money. He also shared his plans for the next day.

He said that he would first watch a movie in peace, then queue up around 3 am, get a yatra card, and head straight for darshan.

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 ...
