Drunk man riding camel sparks chaos on Hyderabad highway, bizarre video goes viral
In an unusual and dangerous incident, a visibly inebriated man was seen riding a camel on the PV Narsimha Rao Expressway in Hyderabad, terrifying motorists. Ikram Ullah Shah uploaded a video of the incident on Instagram, and he chased the unruly driver on the highway and stopped the animal before it hurt anyone.
In the clip, Shah recorded a camel racing on the highway with a man loosely holding onto its reins. The camel's handler, who appeared extremely intoxicated, was seen swaying side to side dangerously as he attempted to steer the animal, which was running close to the edge of the highway.
Shah attempted to stop the unruly animal and its driver by shouting at him to stop as he drove his car parallel to them. He was even heard warning other cars not to get too close to the camel. At one point, Shah was seen throwing water from a bottle at the rider, who slumped over and fell unconscious as the camel continued to run.

After a long struggle, Shah and his friend were able to slow down the animal and tie it to a nearby street light as its handler hung from its back. When they attempted to help him dismount, he was heard incoherently mumbling.
As the video went viral, social media users applauded Shah and his friend for rescuing the animal and preventing a dangerous accident on the major highway.
"In a world where many choose to look away, this one person chose courage! Saved countless lives and prevented accidents! Humanity needs more people like you who act when it matters the most. Truly commendable," said one of them.
Another wrote, "You guys saved his life and major accidents, hats off. Nowadays, life is so unpredictable."

The techie making Telugu lit trendy for Gen Insta
HYDERABAD: In a world where fleeting trends dominate conversations, 29-year-old software engineer and avid reader Aditya Annavajjhala has cracked the code to make Telugu literature cool for millennials, Gen Z, and even Gen Alpha. When the pandemic locked down Hyderabad in 2020, Aditya noticed that most of his peers knew only the Telugu literature from their school textbooks. That's when he launched Telugu Collective on Instagram. With digestible summaries of modern literary greats, irreverent memes and laid-back 'meet-the-author' sessions in trendy cafes, his platform struck a chord. What began with just 100–250 followers has grown into a 35,000-strong community buzzing about new finds like Vidhi and Titbits. For the supporters, it's more than a page; it's a living, breathing community where Telugu literature finds its voice again. In a conversation with TNIE, the 29-year-old says: 'My aim is to make Telugu literature part of pop culture and give it the recognition it truly deserves. Most young people only remember the authors from their school Telugu textbooks. After that, they stop reading in Telugu. I felt that was unfortunate. As an avid reader, especially while travelling, I wanted to change that.' Aditya's first post, back in the lockdown days, was on Vimukta by Volga. With just 100–250 followers then, the page slowly gained traction, especially after he began posting on works by Chalam, Nalgonda Kathalu by V Mallikarjun and other noted authors. Aditya's idea for the platform came while volunteering at an NGO. He began by posting story summaries by contemporary Telugu writers, gradually introducing memes and creative content to make it more engaging. 'I wanted Telugu literature to feel fun, relatable and accessible,' he says. Noting the lack of Telugu-focused book clubs in the city, Aditya started organising fortnightly meet-and-greet events with contemporary authors at local cafes. 'I promote the sessions on Instagram and other platforms. So far, we've hosted 25–30 authors, and the response has been amazing,' he says. Kavanamaali, one of the featured authors and the content manager of Telugu Collective, says the platform bridges a vital gap. 'Readers rarely meet authors, and vice versa. These sessions offer a rare space for open, engaging conversations in a relaxed setting. It's been wonderful to connect with readers from different genres.' His recent works include Vaitarani Vodduna and Nrukesari.
