Just married, then gone forever: 25-year-old groom dies of heart attack
What was meant to be the happiest day in a couple's life turned into a heartbreaking nightmare within moments. Just after the groom completed the sacred ritual of tying the mangalsutra—a traditional necklace symbolizing the beginning of marital union—he collapsed in front of his stunned bride, family, and friends. The 25-year-old, Pravin, suffered a
sudden heart attack
and died before any help could save him, turning the entire wedding into a scene of disbelief and anguish.
The heart-wrenching incident occurred in Jamkhandi town, located in Karnataka's Bagalkot district, on a Saturday filled with celebrations. The air had been ringing with music, blessings, and laughter when the devastating twist of fate arrived like a thunderbolt. According to one eyewitness present at the venue, Pravin complained of sudden chest pain shortly after completing the ceremonial tying of the mangalsutra. Within seconds, he lost balance and collapsed to the ground.
Witnesses recall a scene of chaos and panic. His parents, overwhelmed yet acting swiftly, rushed him to the nearest private medical facility in a desperate attempt to save their son. But the doctors there could do nothing. They pronounced Pravin dead on arrival. His body was subsequently sent for an autopsy to confirm the exact cause of death.

The emotional wreckage left behind was almost too heavy to bear. Shocked guests, frozen in their wedding attire, stood in disbelief. The bride, who had only just stepped into a new chapter of life, was thrown into sorrow few could comprehend. What should have been the beginning of a beautiful partnership ended with a shattering loss.
This incident is the latest in a concerning pattern that highlights the growing frequency of heart-related fatalities among the youth in India. Medical professionals have been raising alarms for years, and stories like these bring that grim reality to the forefront.
Only a few months ago, in February, a 23-year-old woman collapsed and died from a heart attack while dancing at a sangeet ceremony during a wedding in Madhya Pradesh. Just weeks before that, a 14-year-old schoolboy from Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh passed away due to cardiac arrest while training for a school sports event.
The repeated nature of such tragedies emphasizes an urgent need for awareness, early screening, and lifestyle changes, especially among the younger population. As families grieve unimaginable losses, the nation watches with a heavy heart—and a growing concern for its youth.

No gym, no fees, only ChatGPT: Woman shares free AI apps for fitness diets, workouts, health tracking
In a growing shift towards tech-driven fitness solutions, a new trend is emerging — people are replacing traditional gym instructors with artificial intelligence. The combination of accessibility, customization, and cost-effectiveness has made AI tools an increasingly popular alternative to personal trainers. From building strength to managing diets, individuals are using free AI apps like ChatGPT to take full control of their health and fitness routines. Turning to AI for Fitness and Motivation For many, staying fit has long been tied to expensive gym memberships, group classes, and branded activewear. However, these costs don't always translate into consistent results. In one such case, a woman decided to rework her entire approach by using ChatGPT and other AI tools to manage her workouts, track progress, and design meal plans. She reported becoming stronger, leaner, and more self-disciplined — all while saving hundreds of dollars over time, as per Business Insider. Initially reliant on a gym instructor for motivation and structure, she experienced a drop in consistency when her trainer left. Attempts to switch gyms or test alternatives failed to yield long-term commitment. Despite trying habit-tracking methods and motivational purchases, her fitness goals remained out of reach until she decided to build her own routine with AI's support. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A brain tumor threatens his life. Please save him. Donate For Health Donate Now Undo ChatGPT and Free Apps That Deliver Results With prior experience using ChatGPT and Perplexity AI for daily tasks like recipes and trip planning, she repurposed the tool to create customized workout routines. Each week, she entered her progress and goals into ChatGPT and received updated training plans. This not only kept her accountable but also allowed her to adapt workouts based on her own feedback — something she hadn't achieved even with in-person trainers. She also turned to ChatGPT to better understand the science behind nutrition, including protein requirements for muscle growth. This led her to use additional free apps like Cronometer, which helped her track calories, macronutrients, and even micronutrients such as iron and vitamins. Another recommended app, Hevy, enabled her to log workout reps in real-time, while Gymmade offered animated demonstrations for weight training — giving her confidence in using equipment effectively. Within weeks, she began to notice tangible results. Her muscle tone improved, she doubled her lifting weight, and her energy levels increased. She even discontinued her gym membership in favor of using a free local outdoor facility. Importantly, the shift was not just physical but mental — she credited AI tools for helping her understand discipline, motivation, and habit formation more deeply. AI Fitness: Growing Popularity, But Caution Urged Her experience mirrors that of others. Siliguri-based Avirup Nag, who preferred vegetarian diet plans, and Mumbai's Shantanu Pednekar, who needed help with portion control, also found success using AI. New Delhi's Anjana PV used AI to modify her plan when dealing with physical discomfort and received tailored suggestions to adjust her workout without overexertion. For these users, AI acted like a virtual coach — offering structure, detailed feedback, and real-time guidance. Experts agree that AI has made it possible to personalise workouts based on individual goals and fitness levels. But they also caution users not to rely entirely on it. Fitness professionals like Kushal Pal Singh of Anytime Fitness note that while AI can create routines, it can't monitor form or prevent injury like a human trainer can. Benefits and Boundaries Users widely praise AI for being cost-effective and convenient. As Anjana pointed out, she was paying Rs 3,500 per month for a personal trainer before realizing AI was offering nearly identical guidance — for free. Still, health professionals warn that AI tools are only as good as the data provided to them. They may miss nuances such as movement issues, injury risks, or dietary preferences unless manually addressed. Nutritionist Muskan Soni highlighted that AI-generated meal plans often lack variety and fail to consider mental and physical health factors. This can lead to diet fatigue or plans that don't suit individual lifestyles. Despite its limitations, AI's ability to provide structure, research-backed information, and real-time adjustments has made it a powerful tool for self-driven fitness.

Schools told to prepare child emergency medical response plan, state govt tells Kerala HC
Kochi: The state govt has informed high court that a directive has been issued to schools to prepare and display a child emergency medical response plan outlining the steps to be taken in the event of sudden medical emergencies. The guidelines issued by the general education department, dated May 30, further instruct schools to proactively coordinate with the nearest primary health centre or taluk hospital to ensure the availability of anti-venom and paediatric medical care in critical situations. Schools must maintain updated lists of hospitals equipped with anti-venom facilities. Additionally, schools are directed to coordinate with the forest department to identify and engage authorised snake catchers or handlers for emergency snake removal operations. Schools must also conduct thorough inspections of their premises to identify and seal potential entry points for snakes, insects and other reptiles. This includes checking boundary walls, storage areas, gardens and all structures for gaps, holes, or overgrown vegetation that may harbour such threats. The state made these submissions in response to petitions seeking a directive to make paediatric ICUs and ventilators available in all district, taluk and general hospitals, in light of the classroom snakebite death in Wayanad in 2019. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologista recomenda: simples truque elimina o fungo facilmente Acabe com o Fungo Undo At an earlier hearing, the court had asked the state to detail the measures taken to prevent such incidents in future, prompting this submission by the additional director of general education.

Every school head must also ensure that at least two staff members are trained in basic first aid, including CPR and emergency wound care, in consultation with the nearest hospital. The contact details of nearby hospitals and public health officers must be prominently displayed within the school premises, along with the contact information for ambulance services, as per the guidelines.
