https://ift.tt/CfUi327 Tourists and locals were left spellbound on Saturday as a rare waterspout formed off the Astaranga coast in Odisha's Puri district. As dark clouds gathered over the sea, a long, elephant-trunk-like funnel descended from the sky toward the water, where a swirling vortex formed. The Meteorological Department said that the phenomenon was caused by unstable weather conditions in the Bay of Bengal and advised fishermen to remain vigilant. In the local dialect, this phenomenon is referred to as 'Hatisunda' (Elephant's Trunk). According to eyewitnesses, dark, rain-laden clouds gathered over the sea on Saturday afternoon, and the weather suddenly turned stormy. Within moments, a long, funnel-shaped column began to descend from the clouds toward the ocean's surface.

https://ift.tt/BAizkqg Bengaluru-based IT professionals Danish Abdi and Vrushali Prasade have made history by becoming the first couple to complete a side-by-side open-water swim from Sri Lanka to India along the historic Ram Setu route. On May 7, the duo swam nearly 32 kilometres across the Palk Strait, starting from Talaimannar in Sri Lanka at around 4:30 am and reaching Dhanushkodi in Tamil Nadu at approximately 3:15 pm.

One clip captured Abdi preparing to dive into the dark waters before sunrise, while others documented the pair swimming through turbulent seas for hours before finally stepping onto Indian shores. The crossing was conducted under strict safety supervision, with support boats, paramedics, and Indian Coast Guard personnel accompanying the swimmers throughout the route...

https://ift.tt/HAry5LS BJP leader Agnimitra Paul, who on Saturday joined new West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari's core team by swearing in as a minister, told NDTV in an interview that the Trinamool Congress leaders treated Mamata Banerjee as God, but the recent poll drubbing has shown that she is neither a divine being nor above the law. "Mamata Banerjee has already, you know, got the answer. She said so much, Abhishek Banerjee said so much. But the people of Bengal have given their mandate, and Mamata Banerjee should realise she is not above the law. She is not above India's Constitution, and she is not God.
