25-year-old failed JEE, didn't get into IIT, weighed 110 kg and thought life was over. 5 years later, he bought Rs 55 lakh car for dad

  25-year-old failed JEE, didn't get into IIT, weighed 110 kg and thought life was over. 5 years later, he bought Rs 55 lakh car for dad Life doesn’t always follow the plan we make in our heads. Sometimes failure feels crushing, and the future seems hopeless. But the truth is, setbacks rarely define the end — they just set the stage for something bigger. Ankur Warikoo shared an inspiring story of his team member: a young man once convinced that life had failed him has now turned it around in just five years. Shaurya, now 25, joined Ankur Warikoo’s team five years ago while still in college, pursuing a BBA. Back then, he had just failed the JEE, a huge blow especially since his father was an IIT alumnus. The setback left him demotivated, ashamed, and unhappy with college life. He also struggled with his weight, tipping over 110 kg, which added to his sense of frustration. Fast forward five years, and Shaurya’s story looks entirely different. Today, he earns a seven-figure monthly in...

The late ASI’s only son, Baljot Singh alias Bobby, could not make it to India and paid his last respects through a video call arranged by relatives.

Rajnath cites Operation Sindoor, BrahMos success as proof of defence self-reliance

  Rajnath cites Operation Sindoor, BrahMos success as proof of defence self-reliance NASHIK: Defence minister Rajnath Singh Friday reiterated that India’s defence ecosystem had demonstrated its growing confidence in indigenous platforms during Operation Sindoor, when the Indian Air Force relied on domestically-built systems for critical missions. Lauding defence PSU HAL's Nashik unit which integrated the Brahmos missiles with the Su30-Mki fighter, Singh said the Brahmos fired from Su-30 destroyed terror hideouts in Pakistan during Op Sindoor. “In our security history, there have been few occasions when the entire system was tested simultaneously. Operation Sindoor was one such mission. HAL provided 24x7 support at operational sites, ensuring the IAF’s readiness by maintaining fighter jets and helicopters.

Mary Millben who slammed Rahul Gandhi, once touched PM Modi’s feet and backed operation sindoor

  Copy of . - 2025-10-17T171630.064 US singer Mary Millben, who slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his recent remarks against PM Modi has always been a big supporter of PM Modi and Indian culture. Responding to Rahul Gandhi’s recent post accusing PM Modi of being “frightened” of President Donald Trump and “allowing” Trump to dictate India’s foreign policy decisions, Millben did not hold back. “You are wrong, @RahulGandhi. PM @narendramodi is not afraid of President Trump. PM Modi understands the long game, and his diplomacy with the US is strategic. Just as @POTUS will always put America’s interests first, so will PM Modi do what is best for India. And I applaud that. That’s what Heads of State do,” Millben wrote on X. Taking a direct jab at Gandhi, she added that the Congress leader lacks the “acumen to become the Prime Minister,” and suggested he should go back to his “I hate India tour.” Millben on India-US tariff conflict Millben has consistently...

Bengaluru techie and his wife earn Rs 2.1 lakh a month, but end up broke, with zero regrets. Here's why

  Bengaluru techie and his wife earn Rs 2.1 lakh a month, but end up broke, with zero regrets. Here's why In a world where people flaunt big paychecks and still complain about being broke, one Bengaluru techie decided to lay it all out—his numbers, his lifestyle, and his mindset. His Reddit post quickly caught attention because it wasn’t another “I make 50 LPA and still can’t save” rant. Instead, it was a refreshingly honest look at how a couple earning Rs 2.1 lakh a month can live simply, stay debt-conscious, and still feel at peace. The techie, who lives in Bengaluru with his wife and child, shared that despite their combined take-home of Rs 2.1 lakh per month, they often end up with very little left by month-end. But unlike many others online, he’s not complaining. Their expenses, he explained, are rooted in long-term goals and family priorities rather than impulsive spending. Their monthly breakdown says it all. Fixed costs include a home loan EMI of Rs 61,000 with 44 EMIs left...
