Not An Ordinary Bride: Priya Seth, Convict In Tinder Murder Case, Marries Her Jail Inmate | India News

Last Updated:January 24, 2026, 13:38 IST Priya Seth, convicted in the Tinder suitcase murder, marries fellow life-term convict Hanuman Prasad after meeting in Sanganer open jail, sparking debate on love and justice. Priya Seth (34) is in jail for trapping a guy on a dating app and later strangling him and stuffing his body into a suitcase. (PTI) In a grim twist that reads like true crime fiction, a woman convicted in one of Jaipur’s most chilling cases—the infamous Tinder suitcase murder—marries a fellow murder convict from behind prison walls. Once at the centre of a crime that shocked the city and exposed the dark side of online dating, her life has taken another startling turn as she plans a future with a man serving a life sentence for multiple killings. Their relationship, forged in incarceration, has drawn sharp public attention, blurring the lines between crime, punishment and human connection, and raising unsettling questions about love, remorse and second chances within India’s prison system. As subdued wedding preparations take shape in a village in Rajasthan’s …

These Birdwalks Are Turning Ordinary Sundays Into Nature Lessons In Bengaluru | Bengaluru-news News

These Birdwalks Are Turning Ordinary Sundays Into Nature Lessons In Bengaluru | Bengaluru-news News

Last Updated:January 15, 2026, 16:56 IST In a city ruled by deadlines and notifications, these bird walks offer something rare — unstructured time. Phones stay in pockets. Conversations slow down. When people learn to recognise birds, they also start noticing shrinking wetlands, disappearing trees and rising noise levels. Image: blrbirders.com At 6.45 am on a quiet Bengaluru Sunday, while most alarms are still snoozing, a small group gathers near Lalbagh west gate. There are no yoga mats, no running shoes. Just binoculars, notebooks and a lot of excited whispering. Someone points toward the lake inside Lalbagh and says, “Did you see that flash of blue?” Another replies, “That’s a kingfisher, don’t scare it.” And just like that, the city slows down — not for traffic, but for birds. For 32-year-old software professional Ananya Rao, these mornings have become sacred. “I used to wake up late on Sundays and scroll my phone for hours. Now I wake up early just to see what the birds are doing. It feels like a better way to start the …

The wondrous, ordinary world of Vinod Kumar Shukla

The wondrous, ordinary world of Vinod Kumar Shukla

At the Jaipur Literature Festival in 2011, in a stroke of serendipity, I found myself put up in a relatively modest hotel in which Vinod Kumar Shukla was also staying. The “stars” had been accommodated in somewhat flashier hotels. An unassuming, intensely private man, Shukla did not know the names of any of the other writers, even though several literary celebrities from across the world were around. He simply did not understand what the fuss was all about. After J M Coetzee’s session, he looked at the long line for his book signing and asked me why so many people were queuing up. “To get Coetzee’s books signed by him,” I said. “But I haven’t bought his book,” he said guiltily. When I assured him that it was not compulsory to buy Coetzee’s, or any other writer’s books, he looked relieved. This world of literary stardom and book signings was foreign to him. His world – real as well as fictional – was different: They did things differently there. In it, a bus travelled through …

So I have a lot of faith in him from the beginning, and I hope everyone will see him very soon and everyone will have faith in him,” added the world’s No.1 T20 batter,” …

Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s wedding to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru on December 1, 2025, at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore sparked wide attention, especially for her unique wedding ring. The intimate Linga Bhairavi Vivaha ceremony took place in the morning, and the photos quickly went viral online.

‘41% of his innings end in single figures as an opening batsman’: Alastair Cook points out why England persist with Zak Crawley despite ordinary numbers | Cricket News

‘41% of his innings end in single figures as an opening batsman’: Alastair Cook points out why England persist with Zak Crawley despite ordinary numbers | Cricket News

With Zak Crawley having a nightmare start to the Ashes campaign, scoring two ducks in the 1st Test against Australia at Perth, former England captain Alastair Cook explained the rationale behind the Three Lions’ insistence on going with the opener despite not having the best of records. “England are happy with getting three innings out of him, aren’t they? That’s what he’s done in the past and why he keeps playing in those and he tends to change the momentum of the game. He gets 80 or 100, it tends to be an unbelievable innings. He’s the best batter to ever average 80 in terms of the standard he plays. So actually, he’s having to deliver three out of eight now for him to work,” Cook said on the Stick to Cricket podcast. “I saw a stat that 41% of his innings end in single figures as an opening batsman. Zak Crawley is doing what Zak Crawley does. He’s been backed for three years until this moment. The decision on Zak Crawley will be whether …

Sharmila Tagore says ‘ordinary man’ Dharmendra made her feel ‘safer’ on set: ‘Women didn’t have protection then’ | Bollywood News

Dharmendra, the ‘He-Man of Bollywood’ died at 89, in Mumbai today. The entire entertainment industry is mourning the huge loss, including his Chupke Chupke co-star, veteran actor Sharmila Tagore. After his death, she spoke to India Today and opened up about their decades-long bond. She recalled her fondest memories with the Sholay actor. Revisiting the golden time spent with the late superstar, she said, “We knew if we were with Dharam, we were safe,” pointing out how he wasn’t very talkative but always very lovable. “We didn’t have that kind of protection back then. He managed to take me out of there. I am so sad that he’s gone,” she added, remembering an incident when Dharmendra protected her from the crowd. Revisiting the time she met Dharmendra for the first time on the sets of their film Anupama, Sharmila shared, “He was a caring person; an ordinary man like that. He never acted like a star. That smile, that frankness… he would speak from the heart. He never changed. He wasn’t very talkative. He wasn’t …

Ravi Shastri slams India batsmen: ’Very ordinary batting. Not a pitch to be 142 for 7, India won’t be happy’ | Cricket News

Ravi Shastri slams India batsmen: ’Very ordinary batting. Not a pitch to be 142 for 7, India won’t be happy’ | Cricket News

“This is still a good surface. This not a pitch to be 142 for 7. Ordinary batting. India won’t be one bit happy. You have to put your hands up and say that’s very ordinary batting,” Ravi Shastri, former India coach, summarised India’s batting on day 3. His comments came on the back of Shaun Pollock’s comments that some of the batting has been “soft” and it would have been understandable if the wickets had come “off some brilliant deliveries” and the former South African pacer ran through some of the wickets. KL Rahul lunged at a Keshav Maharaj delivery, getting his hands rather low, and the ball popped up off the splice for a simple catch at slips. His opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal had a ball that stopped on him perhaps, and he just check-punched it off the edge to short third man. Sai Sudharsan, back in the playing XI, wasted a decent start, pulling a harmless delivery from the offspinner Simon Harmer to midwicket. Dhruv Jurel, who had pulled Harmer to deep midwicket …

Kaantha Box Office Collections: Dulquer Salmaan film has an Ordinary First Weekend in India of 15cr

Tamil film Kaantha had an ordinary weekend at the Indian box office, collecting Rs. 14.50 crore approx. The film had a low opening day of Rs. 4.75 crore approx. The Dulquer Salmaan starrer period mystery drama needed to show a strong trend over the weekend, but failed to do so. The film had a meh weekend trend with minimal growth on Saturday and a drop on Sunday, leaving it with nowhere to go. The Box Office Collections of Kaantha in India are as follows: Day Gross Friday Rs. 4.75 cr. Saturday Rs. 5.15 cr. Sunday Rs. 4.60 cr.     Total Rs. 14.50 cr. The film could collect only Rs. 6.25 crore in Tamil Nadu over the weekend, which is simply way too low. The trend was also mediocre, with the film seeing a 10 per cent drop on Sunday from Saturday. Kerala can be said to be a somewhat decent performer, as the business there was better relative to how normal ratios go. That happened due to the presence of the big Malayalam superstar. There …
