British YouTuber traces AirPods stolen in Pakistan a year later, plans bold recovery mission
British YouTuber Lord Miles has sparked a social media frenzy after revealing his dramatic plan to recover a pair of stolen AirPods Pro, nearly a year after they were stolen from his hotel room in Dubai. Using Apple's Find My tracking system, the content creator recently traced the wireless earbuds to Jhelum, Pakistan.
In a post shared on X, Miles included a screenshot from the Find My app, pinpointing the AirPods' location near the '2nd Wife Restaurant' on Defence Road in Jhelum. The device was shown as active just 31 minutes before the screenshot was taken, confirming that the AirPods are still in use.
'My AirPod Pros have been lost for a year in Pakistan, and guess who's going to go there next week and get his property back!' he wrote. 'They got stolen from my hotel in Dubai and made their way to Pakistan. I enabled lost mode and keep playing the 'find me' noise when he's using the AirPods.'
Determined to reclaim his belongings, Miles said he plans to reach out to local police and document the entire mission. 'I'm going to get a police officer and storm the area, get back my AirPods, and film it all. Don't like thieves!' he wrote.

Miles' bold recovery plan has set the Internet abuzz, with many users calling it a futile move. 'You could wait till it's a part of India. It will be much easier to get them then. Btw get ample insurance before leaving for Pakistan. And gallons of water too. They don't have any left now,' a user wrote.
'You mean you don't care about the cheaper re-purchase value and getting it back at the next business trip there a year later, even with the thief using it for a year hearing the 'find me' sound all the time? That's the best AirTag / Find my device story I've ever heard,' another user commented.
'You playing a dangerous game,' a third user reacted.

Feral horses seek refuge on roadside near Bogibeel bridge
1 2 3 Dibrugarh: Descendants of British cavalry horses from World War II have been spotted seeking refuge on roadsides and elevated areas near the Bogibeel Bridge in Dibrugarh, after being swept away from their natural habitat in Dibru-Saikhowa National Park by the raging floodwaters of the Brahmaputra. The displacement of these unique feral horses has drawn attention to one of India's most fascinating wildlife legacies — a population of wild horses that has thrived in the wetlands of Dibru-Saikhowa for nearly eight decades without human intervention. Wildlife activists said several of these magnificent creatures were carried downstream by the powerful river currents during recent flooding and have now taken shelter on sandbars, locally known as 'Chapori,' before moving to higher ground along the Bogibeel area. "These horses are living reminders of our wartime history. Their presence on the roads is both heartbreaking and remarkable — they've survived as a wild population for generations, and now they're adapting once again to survive nature's fury. The horses are strong swimmers, but the river current this year is exceptionally fierce. The floods have posed a severe threat to these horses, as their natural habitats — grassy meadows and sandbars — have been inundated. We're hoping they'll return to their natural habitat once the water levels recede," Rajesh Bezbaruah, a wildlife conservationist said. The feral horses of Dibru-Saikhowa represent a unique chapter in both military and natural history. During World War II, British troops established military bases in Tinsukia and surrounding areas, constructing stables to house cavalry horses that served in the conflict. After the war ended, many of these horses were abandoned and left to fend for themselves in the dense forests and floodplains of what would later become Dibru-Saikhowa National Park. The horses have flourished in the park's lush environment, which spans across Tinsukia and Dibrugarh districts. Wildlife experts estimate that several hundred of these feral horses roam freely within the sanctuary, coexisting with the park's diverse wildlife including wild elephants, tigers, and numerous bird species. "What makes these horses extraordinary is their pure bloodline. We're looking at fifth or sixth-generation descendants with exotic lineage and no evidence of crossbreeding. They've maintained their genetic integrity in the wild for nearly 80 years. They know how to survive in challenging conditions," environmentalist and secretary of the Dibru-Saikhowa Conservation Society Joynal Abedin said.

Secret library unearthed under palace by collector who heard fables as a kid
1 2 3 Tikamgarh: Hidden beneath the ancient walls of Tal Kothi— a palace, built centuries ago by the Bundela rulers in Tikamgarh district of Madhya Pradesh —lies an astonishing secret: an underground library filled with hundreds of rare volumes and editions. Once relegated to the realms of whispered family legends and childhood dreams, this lost repository of historical texts emerges from myth into reality. Nestled on the banks of Mahendra Sagar Lake, the five-storey marvel, now invites modern explorers to rediscover the silent depths of a bygone era. What began as a childhood memory of Vivek Kshotriya, the newly appointed collector of Tikamgarh, fueled by stories his grandparents told him about a secret collection of rare books stored in underwater rooms beneath the palace, has led to the discovery of nearly 50,000 books, including some of the most priceless historical texts ever produced. Among the remarkable finds is a rare edition of Sketches of Gandhi by Feliks Topolski, a Polish-born British artist and official war artist during World War II. Topolski, during his 1944 visit to India, captured the essence of Gandhi in spontaneous sketches. Besides, the library contains several pre-independence era books on dams in India, princely states, and historical manuscripts, including Anand Vrindavan Champu, written by 16th-century Indian Bengali poet Kavi Karnapura in Sanskrit in 1576 AD. Most of the books have seals of the erstwhile 'Orchha Presidential Library'. Now, with this treasure trove of history at his disposal, Kshotriya has ambitious plans to transform the space into a 'Heritage Library'. Proposals have been sent to both the state and central ministry of culture, seeking funding to preserve and showcase the invaluable collection for future generations. Experts are being called in from various parts of the country to restore books damaged by termites. "The library, once open to the public, could become a major cultural and educational hub, attracting scholars, historians, and visitors from across the globe," says collector Vivek Kshotriya, who has always been fascinated by history. Growing up in the heart of Madhya Pradesh, Vivek often visited his grandparents in the quaint town of Tikamgarh, nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Bundelkhand region. It was during these visits that young Vivek first heard whispers of a mysterious underground library, hidden deep beneath the grand and beautiful palace at the edge of the town. The stories were passed down like folklore—tales of ancient manuscripts, rare books, and forgotten scrolls buried beneath the palace grounds, some even dating back to the days before India's independence. Years later, after much hard work and dedication, Vivek rose through the ranks of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and was appointed as the collector of Tikamgarh district. As he stood in the district office on his first day, a flood of memories rushed back to him. He remembered his childhood curiosity, the evenings spent listening to his grandparents recount stories of the old royal family and the sprawling palace that once served as their home. One particular story stood out—the secret library, a treasure trove of historical records and manuscripts, hidden somewhere beneath the royal palace. Vivek decided to dig deeper into this childhood myth. He sought out the district's oldest residents, many of whom had spent their youth in the palace grounds. But when he finally enquired about the underground library, he was met with surprising news. The library, it seemed, was not just a myth. It was real—but it had been sealed off over two decades ago. The palace, popularly known as 'Tal Kothi', had been repurposed as a govt PG Degree College, with the library originally set up for students. According to local reports, one of the former librarians had been suspended for financial misappropriation, and in the aftermath of the alleged scandal, the library was locked up and abandoned. Since then, no one had been allowed access to the collection. Driven by an inexplicable pull to uncover what lay beneath, Kshotriya proposed to open the sealed chambers of the underground library and ordered the unlocking of the long-forgotten doors under his personal supervision. "There were multiple doors. Keys were missing. We had to break open the locks. The moment the heavy wooden door creaked open; I was struck by the eerie silence that enveloped the room. Dust motes floated in the beams of light filtering through cracks in the door. The air smelled of age, of time itself. As I stepped inside, I felt a sense of reverence, as if I had crossed into a different world—a world of forgotten knowledge and untold stories," Vivek recalls. The underground library was a marvel. Rows upon rows of shelves stood, laden with books and manuscripts, many in pristine condition, while others had weathered the ravages of time. Vivek was amazed at how the books had remained intact for all these years, despite the underground rooms being adjacent to the pond, where water levels rise to the library's entrance door during the monsoon season. "Ancient texts in languages long forgotten lay nestled between volumes of historical accounts, scientific treatises, and poetry that seemed to echo the past. Some of the books were bound in leather, others in delicate silk, their pages yellowed with age but still legible in places. I could hardly believe my eyes," he says. As Vivek and his team worked to catalog the books, it became clear that the library held treasures beyond imagination. There were rare first editions of works from British-era historians, treatises on ancient Indian architecture, and manuscripts believed to have been written by prominent royal scholars of the era. The history of Tikamgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and India itself seemed to come alive within those walls. Overwhelmed by the significance of the discovery, Vivek knew the collection could not remain hidden from the public eye. "I deployed security at the library with instructions to prohibit any unauthorized entry until it's properly set up. Many of those books are pieces of history that need to be preserved—treasures of knowledge that could enrich the minds of future generations." And so, Vivek Kshotriya has decided to transform the underground library into a public heritage library—a place that would not only house the massive collection of books but also serve as a living testament to the cultural and historical richness of Tikamgarh. His vision is to open the doors of the library to students of the govt college, scholars from across the country, and tourists eager to discover the hidden gems of India's past.
