Zeenat Aman praises Ishaan Khatter`s chivalry on `The Royals` set

Yesteryear diva, Zeenat Aman will next be seen as Maji Sahiba in the much-awaited drama, "The Royals". Through her latest Instagram post, Zeenat thanked the team for keeping her comfortable during the shoot.  Sharing that shoots now tend to leave her exhausted due to age, she wrote on her IG, "This post is NOT studio-mandated. It’s my honest and earnest appreciation for the teamwork and effort that went into creating The Royals. The truth is that as I get older, shoot schedules leave me exhausted. At the end of a 10 to 12 hour workday that involves tedious time in the makeup chair, heavy costumes and jewellery, searing heat and frenzied activity, I am left with swollen ankles and drooping eyes. It’s all quite unglamorous, but then I watch myself on screen and see what a coup the team mana...

‘What president ever talks like that?’ Biden on Trump’s leadership so far – National

In his first post-presidential interview since U.S. President Donald Trump took office, Joe Biden equated the pressure the president is putting on Ukraine to “modern-day appeasement,” a reference to the British government’s pre-Second World War effort to curtail the Nazi’s invasion of Europe. Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today program to mark the 80th anniversary of VE-Day (Victory in Europe), the former president said that Trump’s pursuit of Panama, Greenland and Canada has weakened global trade and diplomatic partnerships in the U.S. and spawned a sense of mistrust among its European allies and NATO, which was formed after the Second World War.“What president ever talks like that?” Biden said. “That’s not who we are. We’re about freedom, democracy, opportunity — not about confiscation,” he ...

International No Diet Day 2025: Is it safe to be on a diet all the time?

Mumbai dieticians say dieting is neither good nor bad, but if done incorrectly, it can have serious consequences on the body physically and mentally. Every year, International No Diet Day 2025 is observed on May 6 around the world to promote body positivity. While some may reject dieting, there are still many others that follow it.  Leena Martin, who is the chief dietitian at Holy Family Hospital in Bandra, shares, “Dieting depends on its purpose and structure. Diets rooted in balance, portion control and nourishment help maintain health, while overly restrictive plans may harm metabolism, mood and long-term wellness. It’s best to focus on sustainable, science-backed habits over temporary fixes.” While dieting has received a bad reputation over time, mid-day spoke to Martin and Simmi Sha...

Physical punishment can impair children`s social-emotional development: Study

Physically punishing children can lead to negative outcomes such as poor health, lower academic performance, and impaired social-emotional development, according to a study on Monday. The analysis, published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, showed that physical punishment was significantly associated with worse parent-child relationships, being a victim of violence, perpetrating violence (including intimate partner violence in adulthood), approving violence, physical health problems, mental health problems, substance use, poor academic outcomes, impaired language skills.  It also led to impaired executive function, social-emotional skills, overall behavioural problems, internalising behaviour problems (e.g., depression and withdrawal), externalising behaviours (e.g., aggression and...

This Mac App Gives a Much Needed Upgrade to Copying and Pasting

I couldn't live without copy and paste—it's core to the way I write and work—but it's a pretty abstract feature when you think about it. Copy something and it goes... somewhere. Then you can paste it. Oh, and if you copy a second thing the first thing is gone.This is a problem solved by clipboard managers. These applications let you review everything you've copied recently and even select an older item to paste it. They work well, but generally require a lot of context switching. What if you want to copy multiple things and then paste them later, all in the order you copied them, without having to open a clipboard manager and choose the items in order? There's a free and open source Mac tool for that: Batch Clipboard (which I found via MacMenuBar).This application isn't a clipboard manager...
