The Javari Temple in Khajuraho. The Chandela kings built the temple in the 11th century. The temple's main deity is Vishnu, and the idol is broken and headless. According to a Times of India report, ASI has found the idol's head and will work on restoring it.

Khajuraho Vishnu idol will be restored Do you remember the former Chief Justice of India, BR Gavai, saying, “Go and ask the deity itself to do something now”, to a petitioner who asked for restoration of the Vishnu idol with a missing head?

As you are likely aware, police forces across the country wear khaki-colored uniforms. However, the Kolkata Police is an exception to this rule, as its officers wear white uniforms rather than khaki. A police force is established in every state to safeguard the public's interests. In our country, police personnel in all states, except the Kolkata Police, wear khaki uniforms. The police force in India was originally established by the British. At that time, they designated white as the colour for police uniforms. Police work is physically demanding, and a practical issue associated with white uniforms was that they would get soiled very quickly. Consequently, the colour of the police uniform was later changed to khaki. The Kolkata Police, however, refused to adopt this revised uniform. The reason for this refusal was, in fact, linked to the local climate. The city of Kolkata is situated along the coast. As a result, the weather here remains hot and humid year-round. Under such conditions, white uniforms are the most suitable choice for the police force, as they help minimise the sensation of heat. To ensure that Kolkata Police personnel do not suffer from excessive heat, the decision was made to retain white as the uniform colour.

Observing the circus currently unfolding within the Lucknow Police Commissionerate, the police headquarters of Uttar Pradesh’s capital, one is led to believe that the 'Khaki' uniform is no longer merely a standard uniform, but has transformed into a lavish 'business suit.' A constable, Sunil Shukla, has dropped a bombshell right within the police department itself, a revelation that has completely shattered the department's peace. In a video he recorded, he is seen shouting at the top of his lungs, asserting that his department is being run by 'Black Englishmen.' The very police force that claims to deliver justice to the world now finds one of its own constables accusing his own superiors of corruption while begging the Chief Minister for justice. He claims that to secure a duty posting at the Lucknow Reserve Police Line, every constable must pay a monthly bribe of ₹2,000. In other words: pay money just to be allowed to do your job! This is what one might call the 'Pay-for-Work' model. The constable alleges that this extortion racket operates much like a full-fledged Zamindari, in which money flows from the bottom to the top, right into the pockets of high-ranking IPS officers. Bravo! What magnificent teamwork! While catching criminals might take its own sweet time, the extortion network, it seems, is operating at the blistering speed..

Ramesh: Rapido? Vikram: Yes, Sir. Captain Vikram reporting; please provide your OTP and sit back. Ramesh: Vikram! May I ask you something? Vikram: Yes, Sir. Ramesh: You seem quite professional, you speak excellent English, too, so why do you drive a Rapido? Vikram: Passion, Sir, pure passion! I always aspired to be an airline pilot. However, when I realised that becoming a Captain of an aircraft would require an investment of 70 lakh rupees, I came to a realisation: a Captain is a Captain, whether he is navigating an aeroplane through the skies or driving a Rapido on the ground. Ramesh: That is a valid point. Vikram: Absolutely, Sir. I feel that this country needs Rapido Captains just as much as it needs Airline Captains. After all, while an Airline Captain cuts through the skies to turn a journey of hours into mere minutes, if anyone can navigate through the city traffic to get you to the airport, transforming a potentially hour-long commute into just a few minutes, it is none other than a Rapido Captain. Since that moment, Vikram's words have continued to echo in my ears.
