This one by Mahatma Gandhi survives for a different reason. It feels personal almost immediately.The line is short. Simple too. No dramatic language. No complicated philosophy. Still, people continue sharing it decades later because it quietly points toward something many individuals recognise in everyday life.Sometimes people speak beautifully without meaning much at all. And sometimes somebody says almost nothing, yet the emotion behind their silence feels completely genuine.That contrast sits at the centre of Gandhi’s quote.At first glance, the line appears to be only about prayer or […] - [Tilak Varma punishes Punjab Kings as playoff dream fades; MI hand PBKS fifth straight defeat](https://timeofpunjab.com/tilak-varma-punishes-punjab-kings-as-playoff-dream-fades-mi-hand-pbks-fifth-straight-defeat/): NEW DELHI: Punjab Kings (PBKS) suffered their fifth straight defeat in IPL 2026 as Mumbai Indians (MI) registered a six-wicket win in a crucial clash on Thursday in Dharamsala.

Others leave readers unsettled for a while because they touch emotions most people usually avoid discussing openly.

In fact, the line almost feels painfully honest the longer somebody sits with it. There is guilt inside it. Love too. Fear. Ageing. Emotional exhaustion. The complicated weight of caring deeply about another human being.And strangely enough, that honesty may be exactly why the quote feels so powerful today.Modern life […] - [‘One of the things we liked to remind ourselves…’ When the actor’s dialogue taught us about taking a chance on things](https://timeofpunjab.com/one-of-the-things-we-liked-to-remind-ourselves-when-the-actors-dialogue-taught-us-about-taking-a-chance-on-things/): Bruce Willis is regarded as one of Hollywood’s most beloved action heroes.

This finding suggests intelligence isn’t only found in creatures with brains. Professor Peter Vishton’s team at William & Mary made this discovery; they learned that these plants don’t just rely on time to track and anticipate changes in their environment; they use frequency instead. In experiments, researchers exposed the plants to random light cycles and observed that they exhibited anticipatory leaf-opening behaviour depending on the number of cycles it experienced. Such ‘non-neuronal cognition’ challenges our basic understanding of biology, suggesting that individual cells might learn […] - [Iran on US facing 'rocketing costs of war of choice'](https://timeofpunjab.com/iran-on-us-facing-rocketing-costs-of-war-of-choice/): Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned that Americans would soon face the economic fallout of the escalating US-Iran conflict, arguing that rising debt costs, mortgage rates and consumer financial stress were the “real pain” of what he described as a “war of choice” against Iran.In a post shared on X on Saturday, Araghchi wrote, “Americans are told that they must absorb rocketing costs of war of choice on Iran.

What looks like ordinary greenery may actually be hiding an unexpected mathematical structure. Researchers reportedly found that its leaves appear to follow a pattern that closely matches a Voronoi diagram, a geometric system normally used in fields like computer science, urban planning, and network design.

At first glance, it looked like something easily misplaced, but the shape and finish suggested it had travelled through a much longer stretch of time.

A second full moon arrives inside the same calendar month, the sort of timing quirk that sounds more dramatic than it really is when you first hear it, but becomes oddly satisfying once you notice how neatly the lunar cycle refuses to line up with human calendars. Around sunset, the moon begins its slow climb, bright enough to wash out the softer stars while still sitting low enough to carry that familiar orange tint.

Many cows and deer seem to rest or graze with their bodies lined up roughly north-south. That odd detail first drew serious scientific attention in 2008, when Sabine Begall, Hynek Burda and colleagues reported that cattle and deer across many locations often followed the Earth’s magnetic axis. Their paper in PNAS suggested a possible form of magnetoreception, the ability to sense magnetic fields, and said the result opened “horizons for the study of magnetoreception in general”.

Every kilogram of fuel that a spacecraft carries has to be lifted off Earth, which itself burns more fuel. This is why aerospace engineers and orbital mechanics researchers spend enormous amounts of time hunting for even the smallest efficiencies in how a spacecraft travels. A few meters per second shaved off here and there can translate into millions of dollars saved per mission. Now, an international team of researchers say they have found exactly that, a more efficient route between Earth and the moon, calculated using advanced computer modelling, and it was hiding in plain […] - [Thane hospital conducts robotic gall bladder telesurgery using indigenous Mizo Endo 4000 platform | India News](https://timeofpunjab.com/thane-hospital-conducts-robotic-gall-bladder-telesurgery-using-indigenous-mizo-endo-4000-platform-india-news/): THANE: The Tieten Medicity Hospital successfully performed one of Thane’s first robotic telesurgeries for gall bladder removal (robotic cholecystectomy) using the indigenously developed Mizzo Endo 4000 robotic surgical system.The robotic procedure was performed through a secure 5G-enabled network with an ultra-low latency of less than 10 milliseconds.

Others survive because they create a small moment of discomfort. They stay in people’s minds because they touch something that still feels real long after the world around them changes. This line linked to Plato belongs in that second category. It does not sound gentle or reassuring. It almost feels like a warning spoken centuries ago that somehow managed to remain relevant.People often imagine ancient philosophers speaking only about ideas trapped in another age. They picture old cities, stone buildings and conversations that seem far removed from ordinary life. Yet every now and then […] - ['Only differences of opinion': SP Velumani says all is well in AIADMK after both factions withdraw pleas against each other | India News](https://timeofpunjab.com/only-differences-of-opinion-sp-velumani-says-all-is-well-in-aiadmk-after-both-factions-withdraw-pleas-against-each-other-india-news/): NEW DELHI: Senior All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leader SP Velumani on Wednesday asserted that there was “no split in the party, only differences of opinion”, signalling a possible reconciliation within the AIADMK after rival factions withdrew petitions filed against each other before the Tamil Nadu assembly speaker.“There is no split in the party, only differences of opinion.

Galaxy clusters, the sprawling cities of the cosmos, were thought to become influential much later. Yet fresh observations from the distant universe are beginning to complicate that picture. A giant protocluster seen only 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang now suggests that location already mattered at a surprisingly early stage. Even then, galaxies growing inside crowded regions appear to have evolved differently from […] - [Annamalai: Annamalai's CBSE language pushback: Was the ex-Tamil Nadu chief sending a message to BJP leadership in Delhi? | India News](https://timeofpunjab.com/annamalai-annamalais-cbse-language-pushback-was-the-ex-tamil-nadu-chief-sending-a-message-to-bjp-leadership-in-delhi-india-news/): NEW DELHI: Former Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai, in a rare dissent, has publically opposed the CBSE’s revised three-language mandate, triggering a fresh political chatter in Tamil Nadu.Annamalai urged the Union education ministry to withdraw the CBSE notification that made three languages compulsory for Class IX students from the current academic year, saying the abrupt move had “come as a shock to many parents, especially those from Tamil Nadu.“This public dissent has for obvious reasons triggered political chatter far beyond the language debate.And the reason is simple.For years, Annamalai had been among the BJP’s most aggressive defenders of the National […] - [Respect Hindu sentiments for peaceful coexistence: VHP amid Eid-ul-Azha row | India News](https://timeofpunjab.com/respect-hindu-sentiments-for-peaceful-coexistence-vhp-amid-eid-ul-azha-row-india-news/): NEW DELHI: The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Wednesday objected to the “insistence” by a section of the Muslim community on cow slaughter during Eid-ul-Azha and said religious sentiments of the Hindu community should be respected to ensure peaceful coexistence in society.VHP central joint general secretary Surendra Jain said the Hindu community worships the cow as “Gau Mata” and alleged that repeated arguments supporting cow slaughter hurt Hindu sentiments.“The Hindu society worships the cow as mother.

The landscape is narrow, uneven, and difficult to navigate even with modern submersibles. During one of those deep exploratory dives last year, a remotely operated vehicle passed close to a colony of precious coral and disturbed a cluster of tiny yellow animals attached to its surface.

They came from Siberia, crossed a land bridge called Beringia, moved south as the ice sheets retreated, and by around 13,000 years ago had given rise to the Clovis culture, the earliest widely accepted evidence of human presence on the continent. It was a tidy, well-defended consensus. Then, in 2019, archaeologists digging in the gypsum dunes of White Sands National Park in New Mexico pulled something out of the ground that the consensus could not absorb: a set of fossilised human footprints so old […] - [Delhi Ration Card: Delhi government to introduce CBDC-based smart ration distribution system for greater transparency and consumer choice | India News](https://timeofpunjab.com/delhi-ration-card-delhi-government-to-introduce-cbdc-based-smart-ration-distribution-system-for-greater-transparency-and-consumer-choice-india-news/): Delhi government to introduce CBDC-based smart ration distribution system for greater transparency and consumer choice NEW DELHI: In a major welfare oriented decision aimed at expanding food security coverage in the national capital, the Delhi Cabinet has approved a proposal to increase the annual income eligibility limit for ration cards from Rs 1.2 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh under the Public Distribution System (PDS).The decision is expected to benefit lakhs of families across Delhi who were previously excluded due to the lower income threshold, a release said.Speaking on the Cabinet decision, Minister for Food & Supplies Manjinder Singh Sirsa said the […] - [Karnataka power tussle: Siddaramaiah reacts amid speculations over CM post; BJP invokes OBC angle | India News](https://timeofpunjab.com/karnataka-power-tussle-siddaramaiah-reacts-amid-speculations-over-cm-post-bjp-invokes-obc-angle-india-news/): Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar (R) NEW DELHI: Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday reacted in a guarded tone to the growing buzz around a possible leadership change in the state Congress government and the ongoing power tussle with his deputy DK Shivakumar.Responding to questions on the speculation, Siddaramaiah said, “I will speak about it tomorrow,” news agencies quoted him as saying.The leadership debate within the Karnataka Congress has been brewing for months, with repeated speculation over a possible power-sharing arrangement between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar.According to sources quoted by PTI on Tuesday, the Congress leadership has offered Siddaramaiah a larger national role […] - [AI-Guided Cruise Missiles: 'Special mission warhead': North Korea tests AI-guided cruise missiles, ballistic rockets near South Korea |](https://timeofpunjab.com/ai-guided-cruise-missiles-special-mission-warhead-north-korea-tests-ai-guided-cruise-missiles-ballistic-rockets-near-south-korea/): North Korea on Wednesday tested a mix of tactical ballistic missiles, artillery rockets and AI-guided precision cruise missiles designed for modern warfare, according to state news agency KCNA.The tests came a day after South Korea’s military said it had detected the launch of multiple projectiles, including a ballistic missile.

It travels well because it is short and slightly unsettling. There is no clean moral instruction inside it, only a comparison that feels unfinished.

Although construction has not yet begun, the concept continues to capture attention as one of the most extraordinary urban projects ever […] - [Jewar airport corridor: The infrastructure project that could boost nearby property markets](https://timeofpunjab.com/jewar-airport-corridor-the-infrastructure-project-that-could-boost-nearby-property-markets/): As the Jewar international airport is set to host commercial flights by June 15, the Yamuna Industrial Development Authority is building a 15.1 kilometer long and 120 meter wide corridor that will improve connectivity of the upcoming airport with the Yamuna expressway.

Melissa Casias, 54, vanished in June 2025 and was the subject of an extensive search effort. Authorities recently confirmed that human remains found in Carson National Forest belonged to Casias.

Citing several economic and strategic indicators, Malviya asserted that “India is not defenceless” amid the ongoing crisis in Middle East.In a post on X, Malviya cited […] - [Quote of the day by Amal Clooney: “We need young people with the courage to say...” | World News](https://timeofpunjab.com/quote-of-the-day-by-amal-clooney-we-need-young-people-with-the-courage-to-say-world-news/): A line attributed to Amal Clooney tends to surface in discussions where the tone shifts between concern and expectation. It is not the kind of sentence that tries to impress. It sounds more like something said in the middle of a longer conversation about how things are changing and who is actually expected to carry that change forward.The focus on young people is hard to miss. Not in a celebratory way, more in a practical sense. There is an assumption sitting underneath it that change is already happening, whether people feel ready for it or not.In many public spaces today, that […] - [Mamata, Abhishek and 14 days of turmoil: How TMC's internal battle spilled into the open | India News](https://timeofpunjab.com/mamata-abhishek-and-14-days-of-turmoil-how-tmcs-internal-battle-spilled-into-the-open-india-news/): TMC chief Mamata Banerjee with nephew Abhishek Banerjee NEW DELHI: What began as a routine interaction in Delhi has culminated in the most serious internal crisis in the history of the Trinamool Congress, resulting in a split that has shaken the party founded by Mamata Banerjee nearly three decades ago.On Wednesday, a group of 58 rebel MLAs led by expelled leader Ritabrata Banerjee claimed control of the TMC legislature party after securing recognition from Assembly Speaker Rathindra Bose.

That makes them heavy, expensive, and power-hungry, basically not practical for anything small. But honeybees? They navigate perfectly with brains smaller than a grain of rice. Now, scientists at Delft University of Technology have figured out their secret and built drones that do the same thing. The system, called Bee-Nav, lets tiny drones travel hundreds of meters away and still find their way home using almost no computing power. All of this started with a simple question: if bees can do it with almost nothing, why can’t our […] - [Kerala Welcomes Monsoon: Rainy Season Begins Amid El Niño Concerns | India News](https://timeofpunjab.com/kerala-welcomes-monsoon-rainy-season-begins-amid-el-nino-concerns-india-news/): NEW DELHI: The southwest (summer) monsoon has set in over Kerala on Thursday, three days after its normal date, IMD said. Monsoon normally sets in over Kerala on June 1, marking the beginning of rainy season as well as sowing operations in India.Last year, monsoon arrived over Kerala eight days in advance on May 24. Early or late arrival of monsoon has, however, nothing to do with the overall quantitative or spatial rainfall during the four-month rainy season. Overall status of the monsoon and its advancement depend on multiple climatic factor.Amid the growing risk of El Niño, the IMD has already […] - [Team India assistant coach breaks silence on Virat Kohli's availability for Afghanistan ODIs | Cricket News](https://timeofpunjab.com/team-india-assistant-coach-breaks-silence-on-virat-kohlis-availability-for-afghanistan-odis-cricket-news/): NEW DELHI: Is Virat Kohli set to miss India’s upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan?

It is old in a way that makes human construction feel temporary, shaped by geological time rather than anything built at the surface. According to PBS, the underground facility known as the Onkalo nuclear repository lies near Eurajoki, where nothing above ground really hints at what is happening hundreds of metres below. At depth, the tunnels feel stripped down to essentials: damp air, rock walls, cables running along uneven surfaces, and the slow echo of movement. It is not a place designed for comfort or spectacle.

He has been there since 1991, when hikers stumbled upon what appeared to be a recent body lodged in the melting ice of the Ötztal Alps. The assumption didn’t last long. What followed was the slow recognition of a man who had died more than five millennia earlier, preserved with an odd completeness that still feels slightly out of place in modern laboratory rooms. Skin, tattoos, fragments of clothing, and even […] - [SC: Cops abusing authority must be dealt with sternly | India News](https://timeofpunjab.com/sc-cops-abusing-authority-must-be-dealt-with-sternly-india-news/): NEW DELHI: Highlighting the anguish of those who have to face undue harassment at the hands of police, the Supreme Court has said a police officer who abuses his position must be dealt with sternly, and presumptions and standards applicable to an accused-layperson would not apply to them. It cancelled the anticipatory bail granted to three Maharashtra police officers who had allegedly harassed a family, including a minor girl, following a search on a train. “When law enforcers turn extortionists, the citizen looks askance and is left in a dilemma. To confront is to invite instant retaliation and the option is […] - [Intelligence in an insect: Bumblebees break new ground with timing skills that baffle researchers |](https://timeofpunjab.com/intelligence-in-an-insect-bumblebees-break-new-ground-with-timing-skills-that-baffle-researchers/): For years, scientists believed that only humans and a handful of vertebrates could tell the difference between short and long durations, a skill as fundamental as reading the dots and dashes of Morse code. But researchers at Queen Mary University of London have turned that assumption on its head, proving that buff-tailed bumblebees can do something previously thought impossible for insects: distinguish between different lengths of light flashes and use that information to find food. These tiny creatures, with brains no bigger than a poppy seed, learned to identify the difference between quick flashes and longer pulses in exchange for a […] - [If TMC splits, speaker's role key in recognising 'real party' | India News](https://timeofpunjab.com/if-tmc-splits-speakers-role-key-in-recognising-real-party-india-news/): NEW DELHI: As Trinamool Congress stares at its biggest crisis with a faction claiming the support of 58 of 80 MLAs, the role of the West Bengal assembly speaker will be decisive in recognising one camp as the “original party” – as happened in the case of Shiv Sena in Maharashtra.The Constitution’s Tenth Schedule bars the “constitutional sin” of defection. After the deletion of ‘Paragraph 3’ from the schedule in 2003, the defence of ‘split’ is no longer available to members facing disqualification proceedings. Hence, in cases where a split has occurred in a political or legislature party, neither faction can […] - [Was King Tut’s desert glass born from a cosmic explosion: New Zircon discovery sparks wild debate | World News](https://timeofpunjab.com/was-king-tuts-desert-glass-born-from-a-cosmic-explosion-new-zircon-discovery-sparks-wild-debate-world-news/): It is not often that a handful of pale yellow fragments lying quietly in desert sand end up pulling scientists back into questions about ancient catastrophe and planetary violence. Libyan Desert Glass has been sitting in museum drawers and scattered across remote stretches of North Africa for decades, sometimes even cut into jewellery that once belonged to ancient Egyptian elites. The latest examination of a microscopic mineral trapped inside one piece has added another layer of discomfort to an already unsettled picture. The evidence does not point in a single direction. It hints instead at conditions so extreme that familiar geological […] - ['Not suicide': Rahul Gandhi blames 'broken system' after NEET aspirant's death; targets PM Modi | India News](https://timeofpunjab.com/not-suicide-rahul-gandhi-blames-broken-system-after-neet-aspirants-death-targets-pm-modi-india-news/): Leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi (File photo) NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi on Thursday reacted to the suicide of a NEET aspirant and launched a fresh attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government over the NEET-UG paper leak blunder.Taking to social media, the senior Congress leader referred to the case of Akanksha, a NEET aspirant who recently died by suicide following the exam fiasco.Highlighting the struggles faced by the student and her family, Rahul Gandhi wrote on X, “Akanksha wanted to become a doctor and serve the nation and society.

It doesn’t rise into the sky, it doesn’t curve into architectural showmanship, and it doesn’t really behave like a place designed for people to linger. The Klystron Gallery at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is the kind of structure you only understand in fragments, usually while standing inside it and realising the corridor ahead refuses to end in any visible sense.

People notice what they have in common.Eventually, however, differences appear.One friend may have different political views. Another may hold a different opinion on social issues, religion, parenting or public policy. Sometimes the disagreement is minor. Sometimes it touches subjects that people care about deeply.For generations, this was considered a normal part of life.

Deep inside ice giants, carbon compounds are squeezed under pressures that break molecular bonds and reorganise atoms into crystalline structures. In lab experiments and planetary simulations, scientists have modelled this “diamond rain” for decades, and missions like NASA’s Voyager flybys helped refine those interior models. Meanwhile, telescopes studying interstellar clouds have picked up evidence of nanodiamonds, tiny carbon crystals suspended in dust between stars. The universe, it turns out, is quite comfortable making diamonds.Wood is a different story entirely.

Others survive because they reveal something uncomfortable about human nature.
