'Unable To Bear Stress': NRI Wants To Return To India After 8 Years Abroad

An NRI man living in the US for the last eight years said he was considering resigning from his current job and returning to India after being unable to handle the stress and depression. In a social media post, the 36-year-old techie with seven years of experience detailed that they were struggling with health issues amid a toxic work environment. "While things were going well initially, everything changed since last year. Toxic management, extreme stress and pressure due to AI push, office politics, etc., anyway, in total I have about 7 YoE now (5+ here in US)," the user wrote in a Reddit post. The techie admitted never having a proper support structure in life, confessing he could no longer manage daily stress on his own.

"Kick Her Out": Mahesh Jethmalani On Mamata Banerjee's "Won't Resign" Move

The call for dismissal of Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee went up by a notch as senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani said her behaviour is "unpardonable" and a "challenge to the whole democratic system". Once an election is certified by the Election Commission, the Chief Minister ceases to be a Chief Minister, he said in an exclusive interview to NDTV's Padmaja Joshi. "It is an insult and she deserves to be taught a lesson... I'm glad she did this. I'm glad that this is her attitude so that the Governor can dismiss her instead of her gracefully resigning... the Governor must formally dismiss her because she holds office at his pleasure," Jethmalani said. "If she insists on sticking like a lemming to her chair, then the Governor must unceremoniously dismiss her. I would like to say, given this conduct, kick her out," he added. In case Banerjee continues to occupy her office, the Governor could send in the police and "evict ...

In Numbers: With Zero Deaths, Bengal Election Most Peaceful In 2 Decades

For decades, elections in West Bengal have carried a grim footnote - political violence, often resulting in deaths and serious injuries. From the turbulent years of the late 1960s to the fiercely contested multi-party battles of the present, control over territory and the exclusion of rivals have shaped the state's electoral culture. But the 2026 Assembly elections have delivered an unprecedented shift: zero reported murders and no serious injuries, marking a significant break from this violent past. The Numbers That Defined Bengal's Poll Violence Over the past two decades, every major election cycle has seen deaths. -2006 Assembly polls: 5 deaths -2008 Panchayat polls: 45 -2009 Lok Sabha polls: 15 -2011 Assembly polls: 17 -2013 Panchayat polls: 20 -2014 Lok Sabha polls: 7 -2016 Assembly polls: 8 -2018 Panchayat polls: 75 (one of the deadliest elections) -2019 Lok Sabha polls: 12 -2021 Assembly polls: 17 -2023 Panchayat polls: 57 -2024 Lok Sabha polls: 6 ...

Suspense On Dhoni, Rohit Ends As MI Captain Hardik Opts To Bat vs CSK

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bat first against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2026 game at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, on Saturday. MI handed a debut cap to leg-spinner Raghu Sharma. Rohit Sharma, who is currently recovering after suffering a hamstring injury earlier in the tournament, continues to stay on the sidelines. On the other hand, CSK's MS Dhoni, who is progressing in his recovery from a persistent calf injury, also misses out on the game. "We're gonna bat first," said Mumbai Indians captain Hardik as the coin landed in his favour during the toss. "Looks like a good track. The way we batted in the last game, we want to give another opportunity to our batters to score runs. We have to play our best cricket and see what happens. The mood has been good, it's been challenging. We have to fight. It's about playing for pride as well. Play good cricket overall. In 40 overs, we've lost game in 2-3 over...

Diamond Harbour "Lyari Of Bengal", Says BJP. Trinamool Hits Back

The BJP's description of Diamond Harbour, the Lok Sabha constituency of Trinamool Congress General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, as the "Lyari of Bengal" has earned a sharp clapback from the ruling party in the state. Accusing the BJP of attempts at "otherisation", the Trinamool Congress alleged that the party is treating the state with contempt and hatred. Lyari, in Pakistan's Karachi, has entered the consciousness of the average Indian as a hotbed of crime syndicates, gang wars and espionage after its portrayal in the blockbuster movie 'Dhurandhar'. The Falta Assembly seat in the Diamond Harbour area made headlines earlier this week after IPS officer and "encounter specialist" Ajay Pal Sharma, also known as 'Singham' , warned  Trinamool Congress candidate Jahangir Khan and others of strict action if they engage in "mischief". Khan responded with a movie reference of his own, saying, "If he is Singham, I am Pushpa...

"Why Would I Tell You That?" Trump Evades Reporter's Question On Iran Strikes

Hours after Iran sent a fresh proposal for talks with the United States to end the war, President Donald Trump evaded a question on Friday about striking Iran again. While Trump was speaking to reporters in Washington, a reporter asked him, "Are you considering new strikes on Iran?" The Republican leader stepped back and said, "Why would I tell you that?" essentially ending the conversation. Earlier, Trump had said that he was "not satisfied" with the new Iranian negotiating proposal.  REPORTER: "Are you considering new strikes on Iran?" @POTUS : "Why would I tell you that?" pic.twitter.com/dABwCJU05h — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) May 1, 2026 "At this moment I'm not satisfied with what they're offering," Trump told reporters, laying blame for the stalled talks with Iran due to "tremendous discord" within its leadership.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi suffered a rare failure in IPL 2026 on Friday, being dismissed for just 4 in Rajasthan Royals' (RR) game against Delhi Capitals (DC).

Jamieson celebrated the wicket in an aggressive manner, clapping his hands fiercely in front of Sooryavanshi and giving the 15-year-old an explosive send-off. However, his reaction was met with mixed reaction on social media, with many criticising him for it.

Kohli's Vintage Send-Off To Gill After Taking His Catch Breaks The Internet

A vintage Virat Kohli was on display when Royal Challengers Bengaluru were fielding against Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2026 game at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Thursday. GT skipper Shubman Gill got off to a terrific start in the chase of 155 against RCB. He smashed veteran pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Josh Hazlewood all around the park in the first two overs of Powerplay. Gill hit the Indian fast bowler for a four and six in the very first over of the innings, and then smashed the ace Australian pacer for three overs and two sixes in the following over. RCB looked completely clueless as their bowlers found no way to stop him. Eventually, Bhuvneshwar provided RCB the much-needed relief as Gill smashed the ball into the hands of Kohli at cover. The RCB star followed the wicket with a furious celebration. A vintage Kohli took the catch, gave a stare to Gill and then banged the ball on the floor with a loud roar.
