Vote-Bank Vendetta: Political Row Erupts Over Influencer Sharmishta Panolis Arrest
A political row has erupted following the arrest of 22-year-old law student and social media influencer Sharmishta Panoli, with several leaders accusing the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government of practicing 'vote-bank vendetta.' Kolkata police arrested Panoli for allegedly making communal remarks while criticizing Bollywood actors for not speaking up on Operation Sindoor. West Bengal BJP president and Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar termed Panoli's arrest as 'vote-bank vendetta' and a form of injustice. "Sharmistha Panoli, 22, law student, arrested for a now-deleted video and a public apology. No riots. No unrest. Yet Mamata Banerjee's police acted overnight, not for justice, but for appeasement. But when TMC leaders insult Sanatan Dharma, call Jai Shri Ram a gaali, mock Maha Kumbh, and push communal poison — there's no FIR, no arrest, no apology. This is not justice. This is vote-bank vendetta. India is watching," Majumdar said on X. Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari assured that the Nationalist Lawyers are taking up Sharmistha's matter and will provide her with the best legal defense. "Sharmistha Panoli, a 22-year-old law student and influencer, made a personal comment in wake of the Pahalgam Terrorist attack where Hindus were targeted selectively, which she later deleted and apologized for, yet was arrested by Kolkata Police from Gurgaon. @KolkataPolice, where is this same zeal when idols of Hindu deities are vandalized in West Bengal? When stone pelting happens on Ram Navami & Hanuman Jayanti Processions? I would like to assure everyone that the Nationalist Lawyers are taking up Sharmistha's matter, and the best legal defense will be provided to her. I hope that she will be free from the clutches of the vile & vicious Mamata Police," Adhikari said on X. Andhra Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan said Panoli had apologised for her remarks but was still punished, and he urged the West Bengal police to act justly. "During Operation Sindoor, Sharmistha, a law student, spoke out; her words regrettable and hurtful to some. She owned her mistake, deleted the video, and apologized. The WB Police swiftly acted, taking action against Sharmistha. But what about the deep, searing pain inflicted upon millions when elected leaders, MPs of TMC, mock Sanatana Dharma? Where is the outrage when our faith is called 'Gandha Dharm'? Where is their apology? Where is their swift arrest? Blasphemy must be condemned, always! Secularism isn't a shield for some and a sword for others. It must be a two-way street. West Bengal Police, the nation is watching. Act justly for all," Kalyan said on X. As per media reports, the Kolkata police have filed an FIR against the influencer under sections 196(1)(a) promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, caste, or community; 299 (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage the religious feelings of any class of citizens); 352 (intentional insult with the intent to provoke a breach of peace); 353(1)(c) (statements that incite public mischief) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor in retaliation for Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 innocent civilians were gunned down in cold blood. Under Operation Sindoor, India hit nine terror sites inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), killing 100 terrorists.

India make BIG move against Pakistan, BCCI decides to…
In these collection of pictures, we take a look at big move made by India against Pakistan thanks to BCCI's big decision in the aftermath of India's 'Operation Sindoor' earlier this month. BCCI have decided to pull India out of Asia Cup 2025 later this year. The Indian cricket board have informed this decision to the Asian Cricket Council, according to a record in Indian Express newspaper. Pakistan interior minister and head of Pakistan Cricket Board Mohsin Naqvi is heading ACC. "The Indian team can't play in a tournament that is organised by the ACC whose chief is a Pakistan minister. That's the sentiment of the nation. We have verbally communicated to ACC about our withdrawal from the upcoming Women's Emerging Teams Asia Cup, and our future participation in their events too is on hold. We are in constant touch with the Indian government," a BCCI source was quoted as saying by Indian Express newspaper. BCCI have taken decision to pull out of Asia Cup 2025 after India's Operation Sindoor in the aftermath of Pahalgam Terrorist attack last month. BCCI have also taken the decision to pull out of Emerging women Asia Cup 2025 scheduled by ACC for later this year. India are supposed to host the Asia Cup 2025 this year. The tournament, featuring India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, will likely be put on the back burner for now. Team India had won the Asia Cup 2023 title with a win over Sri Lanka in the final. 5 full members of ACC - India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan - were supposed to get 15 per cent each of broadcast revenue. In 2024, Asia Cup rights were bagged by Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) for the next eight years for US$ 170 million dollars.

Destiny or coincidence? Warren Buffett's successor Greg Abel was his unknown neighbour for 6 years and the two had never met
For six years in the 1990s, Greg Abel lived just a few blocks away from Warren Buffett in Omaha , Nebraska. Despite this close proximity, the two men—who would eventually be known as the outgoing and incoming leaders of Berkshire Hathaway—never met during that time. It's a curious fact, given the massive responsibilities Abel now assumes. The man who spent years in near-anonymity just down the street from one of the world's most famous investors is now stepping into the spotlight as Buffett's handpicked successor. #Pahalgam Terrorist Attack India much better equipped to target cross-border terror since Balakot India conducts maiden flight-trials of stratospheric airship platform Pakistan shuts ports for Indian ships after New Delhi bans imports from Islamabad Warren Buffett, the iconic investor often dubbed the "Oracle of Omaha," announced last week during Berkshire Hathaway 's annual shareholder meeting that he will step down as chief executive officer by the end of this year. After decades of legendary performance and economic insight, Buffett, 94, formally endorsed Greg Abel to take the helm of the conglomerate—a recommendation expected to receive unanimous approval from the board. Warren Buffett last year had said: "Greg Abel, who runs all non-insurance operations for Berkshire – and in all respects is ready to be CEO of Berkshire tomorrow – was born and raised in Canada (he still plays hockey). In the 1990s, however, Greg lived for six years in Omaha just a few blocks away from me. During that period, I never met him." The announcement, while not entirely unexpected, marks a historic moment in the business world. Buffett's departure signals the end of an era, one defined by his singular investment philosophy, steady leadership, and unmatched ability to turn Berkshire from a modest textile firm into a trillion-dollar titan spanning railroads, insurance, energy, and candy. But the real headline of the day is this: the man taking over was once Buffett's unknown neighbor—living just blocks away in Omaha, entirely off the radar. A Low-Profile Life in Buffett's Backyard Greg Abel was born and raised in Canada. He played hockey, collected and redeemed used bottles for change, and worked odd jobs like filling fire extinguishers. It was a classic story of humble beginnings—one that eventually led him to the highest ranks of global business. But during the 1990s, when Abel was climbing the corporate ladder and quietly living in Omaha, Buffett, already a Wall Street legend, had no idea that the man who would one day lead his empire lived just around the corner. Abel's six years in Omaha went without any fanfare or meetings with Buffett. It wasn't until decades later that their paths would formally align through Berkshire Hathaway. Abel joined Berkshire in 1992, starting in its energy division, and steadily worked his way up, eventually becoming vice chairman of non-insurance operations in 2018. By 2021, Abel was hinted as Buffett's successor. Since then, it's been clear that Abel was the chosen one, but Saturday's announcement cemented the timeline. By year's end, Abel will become CEO of one of the most influential companies in corporate America. Who Is Greg Abel? While Buffett has long been a household name, Abel has maintained a much lower profile. Instead, he's been described by colleagues as thoughtful, analytical, and deeply committed to understanding every nuance of the businesses under his oversight. Since taking over Berkshire Hathaway Energy in 2011, Abel has built a reputation for being detail-oriented and having a firm grasp on operational strategy. He oversees a sprawling portfolio that includes BNSF Railway, See's Candies, Dairy Queen, and dozens of other businesses. Collectively, these companies employ nearly 400,000 people. Abel, now 62, continues to live in Des Moines, Iowa, just two hours from Omaha. He has no intention of relocating to Berkshire's minimalist headquarters. In line with Buffett's famously decentralized structure, Abel will remain where he is, managing the company from afar—a style of leadership that values trust and autonomy over centralization. Abel steps into enormous shoes. Buffett's legacy at Berkshire Hathaway is nothing short of historic. He built the firm into a conglomerate worth over $1 trillion, backed by $300 billion in liquid assets. (With Agency Inputs)

Bagmane buys railway land in Delhi for Rs 1,530 crore
Bengaluru-based real estate developer Bagmane Group has acquired a 124,000-square metre railway land parcel at Sector 21, Dwarka, in Delhi for '1,530 crore, two people aware of the development said. #Pahalgam Terrorist Attack India much better equipped to target cross-border terror since Balakot India conducts maiden flight-trials of stratospheric airship platform Pakistan shuts ports for Indian ships after New Delhi bans imports from Islamabad The Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) had accepted Bagmane's bid to lease the land in 2023, but the deal was delayed due to the need to relocate trees from the site. The company has now identified a land parcel in Delhi for the relocation, the sources said. The acquired land can be used for both residential (55%) and commercial (45%). A new railway passenger terminal coming up adjacent to the site is expected to generate significant footfall in the area. The Delhi-NCR market has traditionally been driven by sustained investor interest across both traditional and emerging real estate segments. Amid all-time high residential demand, several large and listed developers and other entities continued to snap up land. Other than residential, commercial, retail, industrial and logistics and warehousing are also driving prime land deals in key locations across India. Anshuman Magazine, chairman and CEO, India, Southeast Asia, Middle East, and Africa at real estate services firm CBRE, said the deal underscored deepening investor confidence in the sector. "We anticipate this momentum to strengthen through 2025, reinforcing India's position as one of the most resilient and opportunistic realty markets globally," he said. Bagmane Group, a leading developer of commercial real estate with strong focus on technology parks and built-to-suit campuses, currently manages over 18 million sq ft of operational assets, with an additional 10-15 million square feet in various stages of planning and development. With a growing presence in key cities including Bengaluru, Chennai, and Delhi-NCR, Bagmane is steadily building a diversified portfolio to position itself for a potential Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) listing. In March, Bagmane acquired Cognizant Technology Solutions ' former India headquarters in Chennai for about '612 crore.

Rs 5.5 L family income, but still anxious. Young doctor worries about finances, but internet points to a different problem
In India, becoming a doctor is often seen as the ultimate path to stability, respect, and financial security. But what happens when the dream job doesn't quite live up to its promise, especially after years of gruelling training, sleepless nights, and endless sacrifices? A recent post by a young superspecialist doctor has sparked widespread discussion online, offering a rare, brutally honest glimpse into the life of a medical professional who earns well on paper but is battling burnout, uncertainty, and pressure from both within and outside the home. The doctor's reality check #Pahalgam Terrorist Attack Pakistan reopens Attari-Wagah border to allow stranded citizens in India to return Key Jammu & Kashmir reservoirs' flushing to begin soon Air India sees Pakistan airspace ban costing it $600 mn over 12 months In a heartfelt post, the doctor, now in his mid-30s, shared that he earns Rs 3 lakh per month working in a tier 3/4 town in South India. Despite his qualifications as a superspecialist, he rarely gets to work in his core field. Instead, he handles general cases that demand availability more than expertise, often at odd hours. His schedule is irregular, and while he works 8 hours a day, being on-call at night is slowly wearing him down. He fears that once he hits his 40s, he may be deemed "replaceable" simply because he won't be able to keep up with the off-hour demands. That fear is pushing him to consider a few difficult alternatives: quitting and joining a medical college (for a lower salary of Rs 1.3 lakh/month), or starting his own clinic, something that may take years to become financially viable.

She comes from a family of second-generation doctors and has seen that level of income before. But for the husband, that number seems increasingly out of reach in today's saturated medical job market. Combined, the couple brings in Rs 5.5 lakh a month, an amount many would consider more than decent, particularly in a small-town setup. The doctor also freelances to boost his income by another Rs 30,000–Rs 40,000 per month. But after enduring an intense surgical residency (which sometimes demanded 120-hour work weeks), he admits he's exhausted. He dreams of a more balanced life—one with 8 hours of sleep, time to exercise, and enough breathing room to stay mentally and physically fit. Despite a modest savings pool—Rs 10 lakh in mutual funds, Rs 3 lakh in stocks, and smaller sums in NPS and PPF—his long-term financial goals are ambitious: - A house worth Rs 1.5 crore in 3 years - Rental property worth Rs 3 crore in 10 years - Rs 1 crore for his child's foreign education in 15 years - Rs 50 lakh for the child's wedding in 20 years - Financial independence by 55 - And eventually, the dream of running a playschool—his true passion But he's acutely aware: if his income dips in the next decade, these goals may not survive. The internet responds and believes it's not just a money problem The post triggered a wave of comments online, many of which echoed the same sentiment—this isn't just about income, but expectations. One user noted, 'You don't have a finance problem, but a family issue. Your wife has very high expectations, while you are content with your earnings.' Another said, 'Rs 5.5 L/month in a tier 3 town can afford a lavish lifestyle. If you stay there, you don't need Rs 10l/month unless your income drops sharply.' Many advised the doctor to consult a financial planner to better align income and life goals. Some also encouraged open communication between the couple, with one commenter putting it simply: 'You have clarity on what matters. Now you just need your wife to see it too.'
