Fans complained about Invincible Season 3, as many of them are concerned about decreased animations and a slow-paced narrative. However, the earlier seasons were rich in dramatic storytelling and sharp cuts and frames to match that speed, but the latest season is a bit inconsistent, which has frustrated the viewers. Some feel it’s good as it provides a satisfying character analysis, while others think the show lost its momentum. High expectations following a long wait have amplified criticism. Indeed, these problems might be connected to production. Still, constructive criticisms provide the means to improve them during later seasons. Actions in conjunction with great stories will make Invincible thrive in subsequent seasons.

Faster Charging, Better Battery, and More. Do OPPO Foldable Phones Beat Samsung?
The foldable smartphone market is changing, and OPPO is emerging as a serious contender for Samsung. Although Samsung was the first one in the foldable phone market, OPPO’s innovative approach is rewriting the game. OPPO foldable smartphones provide better design, more durable hinges, a superior display with fewer creases, and faster charging technology. With a form factor friendly user interface and more advanced cameras than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold’s alternative, this is all about how they would redefine the foldable smartphone experience and then ultimately take the foldable space pioneer’s position taken by Samsung.
Delhi Assembly election results are irrelevant
People of India must realise the truth, that elections only result in change of leaders, who only seek power and pelf for themselves or their kith and kin on coming to power, but will not, and can not, do anything which radically improves the people’s lives.

Harmony Chocolates’ Indian-Inspired Delights Earn an 8.5/10, Needing Only Packaging and Accessibility Enhancements
Harmony Chocolates is an India-inspired brand and unique flavors will be created there that will include Indians’ preferred tastes. Along with these newer, innovative Rabri, Pan, and Tang, besides class nutty flavors, and a deep, darker flavor, its overall presentation also represents the company in a required niche of such a market under heavy influence by the international powers. This gap is something it filled very convincingly as did not Feastables by MrBeast. While the flavor and sugar to flavor ratio is nearly perfect, improvements in packaging and retailing would make a big difference for it. Harmony Chocolates deserves 8.5 out of 10, and prospects are bright and promising.
Baba Ramdev Faces Potential Arrest Over Misleading Advertisement Controversy
Baba Ramdev is an outstanding yoga guru and one of the cofounders of Patanjali Ayurved, which has witnessed a remarkable impact on India’s health and wellness sector. Legal action has been initiated against him because of wrongly advertised lies that Patanjali products can cure patients with diabetes and asthma diseases. These statements could be violative of the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954. The Supreme Court of India has taken serious note of these violations. Contempt proceedings have been initiated against Ramdev and Patanjali’s managing director, Acharya Balkrishna. Though apologies have been issued, the court has remained unsatisfied with the seriousness of the contempt. This included a criminal case filed against Ramdev and Balkrishna in Kozhikode, Kerala, for some similar allegations, and bailable warrants were issued against the duo for failing to appear in court. Different public reactions have followed such legal steps and, by implication, have far-reaching consequences on trust in traditional medicine or the control of advertising health products in India.
Escalating Tensions at Afghan-Pakistan Border Signal War With Taliban
Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan have escalated sharply, especially after the airstrikes by Pakistan on December 2024 in Afghanistan’s Paktika province which killed reportedly civilians. The incidents date back to old controversies over the Durand Line, which is the border imposed by colonialism that Afghanistan has never recognized. This further complicated matters with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan operating from Afghan soil, thus bringing about retaliatory and then defensive operations cross the border to have their shots, but diplomatically, that’s not sufficient to end all the volatility because diplomatic efforts alone had deep effects on the people there while it remains highly geopolitical in nature.
The Case for and Against Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s Retirement from International Cricket
The recent tailspin of cricketing royalty India has witnessed the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, both of whom are in the throes of severe tests, with their eventual international retirement being a constant demand, especially after Australia in Test series. More than a few voices – media, former players and fans alike – have called for their retirement in recent times. This factor involves their aging, losing physical power, and increasing youthful blood. The retirement argument finds some supporters advance it as the only way of paving way for young blood and other experts take it as something they need for themselves since they have earned legacy to remain to offer the same. This discussion presents an argument for retiring of some and those who do not support this with a basis for their previous leadership and service to the country.
Lashana Lynch Disappointing Performance as Bianca in Day of the Jackal
She stars in the television series “The Day of the Jackal” as MI6 agent Bianca Pullman. Review and audience comments vary; many praised her while most other viewers condemned her as the weak spot in an otherwise amazingly received series. Their criticism might be about the fact that her character was never deepened up to the level of the rest of the show. Discussions have also been brought forward on the character’s involvement in the story and how race plays out within the mostly white ensemble cast. This article explores such criticisms and addresses how Lynch saw her role in this production and compares the reception of her work to the praises heard throughout the series in general.
Vivo V50 Upgrade Not Justified for V40 Owners
Launched as a model ready to launch in February 2025, the Vivo V50 can easily be said as the Vivo V40 successor but after comparing with all details; the advancements would not be really different. Because, here it’s equipped with Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and camera also comes almost alike in configuration offering not-so-nearly good upgrades in each section. Whereas V50 offers slightly bigger batteries with slightly faster charging capabilities, upgrades aren’t too substantial to update current V40 owners. To make matters worse, V50 will probably sell for more, further diluting value. And, when minor design differences between Vivo V40 and Vivo V50, same software, same features, with almost negligible enhancements in both designs, one does not find adequate reasons to update to V50.
The Greatest Urdu Sher By Justice Markandey Katju
Before explaining the meaning of this sher, it is necessary to mention that Urdu poetry often carries both a literal, outer, superficial meaning and an inner, deeper, real meaning. Often, one has to wrack one’s brain to understand the real meaning, to know what the poet is really seeking to convey. Urdu poets frequently express themselves not directly, but indirectly — through metaphors, allusions, hints, suggestions, and indications.
Virat Kohli Restaurant One8 Commune To Start in Jaipur After Indore
The food venture of Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli, One8 Commune, is now taking it to Jaipur. Success was already experienced in Indore. This food venture had earlier outlets in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, and Bengaluru. Diverse menus, which are mixed with the favorite dishes of the cricketer, are part of this venture along with the local flavors. The outlet here is going to be quite interesting as it would feature Rajasthani specialities along with international fare. The restaurant will be designed, thus inspired by Kohli’s travels and the rich cultural heritage of Jaipur, to be inviting. This expansion is going to be a step toward the vision of Kohli in the community dining experience and is likely to enhance Jaipur’s culinary scene, provide employment, and attract tourists.

Demand will be met to the Indian markets for affordable gaming solutions through the Victus range of laptops.
How Prime India Defeated Netflix with Local Stories Like Panchayat and Family Man
Amazon Prime Video has emerged as a major player in India’s streaming market and even outdid its competitors like Netflix by investing heavily in locally resonant content. Original series like “The Family Man,” “Panchayat,” “Mirzapur,” “Farzi,” and “Paatal Lok” are extremely popular, which has thus contributed to Prime Video’s expanding subscriber base. Regional preferences, collaboration with Indian creators of fame, and competitive models in price are strategic decisions that have cemented the standing of Amazon Prime Video in the Indian OTT scenario.
The Union Budget’s Role in BJP’s Strategy to Topple Kejriwal in Delhi
Delhi’s political landscape is undergoing change since the AAP government, slowly and gradually over time, is seen to mess up major civic issues like pollution, health-care facilities, congested traffic conditions, and shoddy road network. In the process, there is this obvious anti-incumbency mood in voters’ minds. The middle class has also reacted well to tax exemptions up to ₹12 lakh in the Union Budget of 2025 as this will also give them big relief in the pocket, though the cost of living is ascending. BJP, therefore, will tactically implement this budget decision coupled with strong criticism of governance of AAP against the latter. With a grassroots campaign that hails solutions for pressing issues and the unfulfilled promises of AAP, it is likely that BJP will take away the reins of the present government.
Not China’s Gaokao, UPSC and IIT are the toughest exams for General Category Students in India
Not only is it very stiff and competitive, the Gaokao is China’s national college entrance examination. However, for students of the general category in India, other tests they will have to contend with include the UPSC Civil Services Examination and the IIT JEE-the latter of which is a bit tricky while the former is very competitive. These exams not only demand vast knowledge and years of preparation but also work within a framework where reservation policies significantly impact general category candidates. The UPSC’s vast syllabus and the IIT JEE’s deep focus on core scientific subjects, combined with intense competition and socio-economic factors, make them particularly daunting. This article talks about the form, matter, and unique problems that characterize such exams, thus ranking them at the topmost for India’s general category students.
The Pi Coin Deception Earning Through Ads While Users Mine for Nothing Disguised as Crypto
Pi Network is an application with which the users can “mine” Pi Coins, again just by the tap of a button every day with no cost, no up front. Though this app has million users and this is the rapid growth it sees, many of the skeptical voices are being thrown around the platform. This model is said to be working based on a business model similar to a pyramid scheme, as it has an entire system that only depends on referral, and an actual working mainnet does not exist, hence the Pi Coins are useless and worthless. In-app commercials money is made when users are compelled to view adverts before they could continue mining. This will deceive the users, who waste their time without any benefit, and the advertisers, who take into account greater engagement metrics. All these factors lead to the assumption that the model of Pi Network is more biased toward revenue generation from ads rather than providing genuine cryptocurrency experience.
The Exodus of Investors from Whirlpool India Amid Sharp Decline in Stock Value
The recent move by Whirlpool Corporation to reduce its stake in Whirlpool India from 51% to around 20% by mid-to-late 2025 has led to a sharp decline in the latter’s share price. The latest move follows a 24% stake sale in February 2024, which has alarmed investors about the parent company’s interest in its Indian business. Apart from these, market competition, low-profit margins, and regulatory impediments are some of the other challenges. The financials also depict a dismal trend: net profit for the quarter ending September 2023 saw an erosion, and sales are projected to decline in 2025. The competitive intensity by players like Samsung, LG, and local players continues to be a challenge for Whirlpool India to innovate and maneuver its market share and profitability.
Why Earning Popcoin Through Pop UPI App is Virtually Useless
It rewards users with 2% back in Popcoins on every UPI transaction; these Popcoins can only be redeemed within the POP ecosystem to buy products from partnered D2C brands, which is an inherently closed loop and limits the utility of the Popcoins themselves. This leaves users often no choice but to buy products within the app, potentially at a higher price point, thus cancelling out any savings perceived. Unlike the more flexible traditional rewards systems that allow cash redemption, Popcoins offer neither real money nor convenience that saves consumers for a real bottom line.
Why GPUs Are Becoming as Precious as Gold and Diamonds due to AI Innovation
The development of AI technologies at this pace has never led to such an unprecedented demand for graphics processing units. They power both machine learning and deep learning applications, and their price has gone up to levels where selling gold and diamonds are not unheard of. While companies like NVIDIA are seeing their data center revenues surpass the revenues reaped from their old traditional gaming businesses, it seems clear that market behavior is shifting. Meta and Microsoft and other tech giants are buying such huge amounts of GPUs that the supply is insufficient and is causing the prices to shoot even further. Inelasticity of supply because of manufacturing constraint; the time of manufacture is quite a long period, and with a requirement for having some new fabrication plants as well. Therefore, it led to this kind of scarcity; some companies reused even gaming GPUs for using in AI, which affected even the gaming segment. Smaller organizations may find it extremely challenging because of the relatively higher cost of GPUs and very limited availability in the market, which can centralize AI among the wealthier organizations.
Air Crash Trends in Recent Years Lessons from Korea to America
Air travel is still considered one of the safest modes of transportation, yet incidents do raise a concern regarding the safety of aviation. Accidents like Jeju Air Flight 2216 that crashed in South Korea and the DHC-3 Turbine Otter that crashed in Washington, USA, can be attributed to some of these causes, including bird strikes, mechanical failures, and human errors. It reviews such incidents and others to determine their causes and lessons in enhancing the safety of aviation.
Justice Katju’s prediction about the Delhi Assembly election result
This article explores the dynamics of the Delhi Assembly elections, focusing on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s perceived sweeping victory influenced by the concurrent Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj. The analysis considers how the media’s portrayal of the religious event might sway voter sentiment amidst widespread socio-economic issues such as poverty, unemployment, child malnutrition, and inflation. The narrative examines the disconnect between the public’s spiritual engagement through televised or online glimpses of the Mela and the ground realities of daily struggles. The research highlights the role of media portrayal in shaping public perception and potentially electoral outcomes, questioning the impact of cultural and religious events on political decisions in India. Keywords include Delhi Assembly Elections, BJP Victory, Mahakumbh Mela, Media Influence, Voter Behavior.
Our Long March has not even begun
India must transform into a modern industrial giant to eradicate poverty, unemployment, and malnutrition, drawing inspiration from China’s Long March which led to the 1949 Revolution. However, India remains caught in religious and caste-based divisions, exacerbated by perpetual elections and political polarization. Developed nations might resist this transformation due to competitive threats from India’s low-cost labor. The responsibility falls on India’s patriotic intellectuals to lead an ideological battle against feudal mindsets, superstitions, and communalism. Only through such a long, united struggle can India achieve socio-economic emancipation, marking what could be its finest hour in history.
Know the Differences Between the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air
The iPhone 17 series will be released in September 2025. The two major variants of the series will be the standard iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air. The iPhone 17 Air would be the thinnest smartphone ever developed by Apple, with a highly slim design featuring ultra-thin dimensions achieved via lightweight aluminum material construction. Whereas the new iPhone 17 takes a step down with the design but it has more traditional looks but is accompanied with a 6.3-inch OLED screen that is relatively small in comparison to Air which offers 6.6 inches OLED ProMotion with 120Hz refresh rate. Camera configurations also vary, as the Air features a dual-camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor and the iPhone 17 has a single 48-megapixel camera. Both variants will be fueled by the A19 chip, so performance is excellent, but the iPhone 17 might have better battery life because it is bigger. Connectivity-wise, the iPhone 17 Air would feature an eSIM only and the standard one would retain its physical SIM slot. That may also come for a premium.
Facing DeepSeek Challenge ChatGPT Might Make All Premium Features Free
DeepSeek has been the new challenge that the AI domination of OpenAI and its favorite software, ChatGPT, faced. Always a market leader in the industry, whether for free or for paid subscription plans, the popularity of ChatGPT was growing with every passing day. In contrast, DeepSeek was giving away its model, Dark Seek-R1, free of charge. The open-access strategy led to high penetration, topping all charts within both U.S. and U.K. The pricing for DeepSeek’s API is low-cost, being a fraction of what OpenAI charges, thus attracting businesses and developers searching for cost-effective AI solutions. Benchmark tests suggest that DeepSeek-R1 performs at least on par with, or in some technical tasks, it surpasses ChatGPT, which only further erodes the market place for ChatGPT. So, OpenAI is forced to either change its pricing model or improve its offerings to retain the users. This would open the gates to mass adoption of AI, which gives cheaper and more accessible AI solutions, thus impacting a larger section of the audience, which is good for competition and innovation.
Xbox Forza Horizon 6 on the Horizon Amid PlayStation Horizon 5 Launch
One of the most eagerly awaited games in the Forza Horizon series is Forza Horizon 6, which has been waiting in anticipation of its release with graphic-based phenomenals and diversified cars on the large open-world map and speculations that range it as a “Japan-based setting.” This sequel would probably take everything good from Forza Horizon 5 and feature new stuff such as advanced weather systems, new car physics, and multiplayer. The Forza Horizon 6 trailer has already become something people have made speculations about, even in what to expect from this game. It also will come out on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, as another journey for Microsoft into an open approach of gaming, making the game more accessible to a wider market. New possibilities for customization and an enhanced convoy system make Forza Horizon 6 ready to refresh open-world racing for a new generation and to deliver one of the most impressive gaming experiences to date.
Microsoft Looks to Windows 12 to Regain User Trust Lost with Windows 11
Microsoft is expected to release Windows 12, the next-generation operating system, by the end of 2025. With all the feedback gathered from Windows 11, Windows 12 will bring much more improvements in deep integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve user experience and productivity. AI-driven features will help users with file organization, system optimization, and personalized suggestions. A major innovation to be represented will be the modular design of a “Core PC,” which tries to provide a more flexible, secure, and efficient system with faster update times and superior hardware scalability. Windows 12 will also build upon the new user interface offered by Windows 11, creating more customization choices, an optimized File Explorer, and an even better taskbar. These updates, on one hand, will address criticisms from Windows 11, for instance: the high system requirements and the mandatory Microsoft account setup, concentrated on more compatibility and more user-centric features of the product. Therefore, Windows 12 would better embrace various technological advancements that change user preferences, be it competitive demand or increased adoption.
Meta Plans to Launch Ray Ban Zen 2 Glasses Unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg
Meta has just entered the market of smart glasses with its technology partner Ray-Ban. Having presented the first version of smart glasses, called Ray-Ban Stories, back in 2021, this time around in 2023, the company can introduce to the public the upgraded version that will feature an improved camera, better audio, and connectivity to Meta’s AI assistant. These came to the market with tremendous commercial success, selling over 1 million units in 2024. The third version by Meta, probably called “Zen 2,” will probably have even more refined features, like an inbuilt display for notifications, enhanced AI processing, and increased battery life. Mark Zuckerberg’s dream of a time when smart glasses might eventually replace smartphones could come true in these glasses. With all the wearable tech market leader being Meta, and next-generation smart glasses poised to revolutionize our interactions in the digital space as well as with technology around us, concern about privacy will always be a relevant issue-the question is the importance of those issues in camera-related and data-security aspects.

Modi Government Might Team Up with Jio to Challenge Chinese DeepSeek
India is building its sovereign Artificial Intelligence model. The initiative has reportedly been government-backed and comes with a budget of ₹30-40 crore. That aligns well with the greater vision India shares to reach complete digital sovereignty, thus wean off dependency on foreign AI models such as DeepSeek, an AI system of China and US-based AI models. National security, economic development, and privacy of data form the important rationale for the sovereignty of an AI system. Speculation of a supposed collaboration between the Modi government and Jio in using the latter’s digital infrastructure towards AI progress continues. India has already started some sort of innovation by initiating AI in the country, like the IndiaAI Mission, and public-private partnerships. Some issues have arisen, such as funding, talent retention, and infrastructural limitations. It is believed that a good AI strategy can eventually make India one of the biggest technology leaders in the world, further bringing innovation and more jobs. The cooperation with Jio is still unofficial, but there is a clear intent to focus on AI to further make sure that India’s technological future will be secured through Modi.
