World Chocolate Day is celebrated on July 7. On this day, chocolate was introduced to Europe in the 16th century, perhaps around the 1550s. And, what better way to celebrate the occasion than by enjoying this rich, sweet delight with your loved ones? Don't know about you, but Rakul Preet Singh agrees. The actress shared a video of herself relishing marshmallows with melted chocolate on Instagram. The clip featured Rakul with a marshmallow on a stick in her hand. Then, she dipped it into a chocolate fountain and took a bite. We could also spot a bowl of peaches and various kinds of desserts on the table.

‘Hindi is not easy': American woman's fluent Hindi stuns internet, shares tips for mastering the language

An American content creator living in India has gone viral for her impressive command of Hindi, and the internet can't get enough. Kristen Fischer, who has spent the last four years in India, recently posted a video on Instagram that's grabbing attention not just for her fluency, but also for her practical tips on how others can learn the language too. In the clip, which has already crossed 78,000 views, Fischer speaks fluent Hindi and wrote in the caption, 'Hindi is not an easy language to learn. It takes time and effort.' She then shares four key strategies that helped her over the years. She emphasises grammar as the most challenging and essential part of learning the language. 'Find a good grammar coach, book, or resource. It makes all the difference,' she says. Fischer credits her success to online classes and the GPA (Growing Participator Approach) method, calling it the 'fastest and most effective way to learn any language.' Another tip? Complete immersion. 'Spend time with a native speaker who doesn't know English. That way, you'll be forced to speak Hindi in real situations,' she advises. While she now speaks the language with ease, Fischer reminds learners that it's a slow process. 'Hindi takes at least 2–3 years to get comfortable with. I studied for five years before I felt confident. Just keep going and don't give up.' The video has struck a chord with many viewers, with social media users praising her dedication and encouraging others to follow her lead. A user wrote, 'Wow Kristen, your Hindi is amazing! Great going.' Another user asked, 'I am amazed at your fluency and the diction. Fab job. What is GPA method?' 'In a world too often divided by differences, your embrace of Hindi is truly admirable. It is a powerful gesture that transcends boundaries and connects hearts. Wishing you continued success and discovery on this beautiful linguistic journey,' the third user wrote on Instagram.

Watch: NRIs recreate Ganga Aarti on Canadian riverbank, stir mixed reactions online

In a heartfelt tribute to Indian traditions, members of the Indian diaspora in Canada recently organised a grand Ganga Aarti along the banks of the Credit River in Mississauga. The event, reminiscent of the iconic rituals held in Varanasi, Rishikesh and Haridwar, brought together scores of devotees dressed in traditional attire. The ceremony was hosted by Radio Dhishum and attended by Consul Sanjeev Saklani from the Indian Consulate in Toronto. The consulate shared glimpses of the event on X, calling it a 'soulful evening of divine chants and pious mantras.' 'Consul Sanjeev Saklani represented the Consulate at the Ganga Aarti… organised by Team @RadioDhishum,' the post read, along with several pictures capturing the spiritual fervour of the evening. One of the attendees, Instagram user Priyanka Gupta, shared a video that has now gone viral. 'In all my 10 years in Canada, this was the most magical evening,' she wrote. 'Not on the ghats of Varanasi or Haridwar, but right here in Canada.' 'Living abroad doesn't mean letting go of who we are. The soulful chants of 'Har Har Gange' echoed across the park,' she added, describing the experience as a moving slice of India brought to life far from home. However, the video sparked mixed reactions online. While many praised the community for keeping Indian traditions alive abroad, some questioned whether such rituals could affect the local environment, with concerns raised about potential pollution of the Credit River. 'Happy to see, India and Canada culturally getting connected,' a user commented. 'What a beautiful coverage. We are so overwhelmed hearing this,' another user wrote. However, several users had a different opinion on the video, 'This is a tad bit too much , where is ganga and where is Canada ? We should be religious but at the same time, think where you are, respect their land and country, doing these things there only shows how fragile and religion dependent we Indians are.' 'Aren't you supposed to have Ganga arti on banks of river 'Ganga'? Don't just make fun of anything, looses the value it holds,' another user wrote. 'There is a reason it is called Ganga Aarti. Doing aarti in front of any river doesn't make it Ganga Aarti. If you crave for it so much, return to your own country and do it,' the third user commented.

BTS' Jimin said he felt ‘suffocated' listening to RM's track, knew something was wrong: ‘I wonder what kind of jerks he's met'

Ever since BTS' leader RM, aka Kim Namjoon, returned from the military, there has been a lot of talk about his struggle, and how the 18 months inside the unit may not have been as smooth as fans assumed. RM earlier admitted to breaking down at night and even seeking medical help. It takes us back to a year ago, when the rapper was gearing up for his second solo album, Right People, Wrong Place and had invited Jimin over to his place for a first listen of the pre-recorded tracks. That's when the Filter looked concerned, almost instinctively sensing the pressure RM had been carrying, the weight of being a leader. As he listened to the lyrics, Jimin paused, wondering who RM was really referring to. 'What kind of jerk made him write something this fierce?' he thought. Also read: After Ronaldo and Messi, this BTS star becomes Instagram's most influential celebrity, beats Selena Gomez, Billie Eilish, and more Before enlistment, every BTS member kicked off their solo career. During one of their conversations, RM revealed he was actually supposed to enlist with Hobi but held it off after the Balming Tiger directors approached him with the idea to collaborate on a new record. 'Namjoon's albums are always kind of like a diary,' Jimin said. RM then explained the theme of his project, saying, 'I think everyone goes through this at some point, whether you're part of an organisation, society, or just an industry.' That's when he started questioning himself, Am I the only one who feels like a stranger here, even when everything seems to be going fine? He added, 'I'm the right person, but maybe I'm just in the wrong place.' Later, in front of the camera, Jimin admitted, 'I don't know if I should say this, but when I heard the album, it felt like reading a diary. I had so much going on in my head, it felt a little suffocating.' He paused, then added, 'He poured everything into that album. And I knew, I just knew, he was having a really hard time.' Also read: BTS' Suga warns 'the market's not the same' as group confirms 2026 comeback and tour RM has never shied away from calling out the scrutiny BTS constantly faces and the unrealistic pedestal K-pop idols are expected to stand on, something he's always been vocal about. The Indigo hitmaker opened up about the time BTS was going through a really rough patch, especially when the whole military enlistment exemption debate blew up in the country. He recalled being in public spaces, like a bar, and overhearing people talk about them without realising he was right there. 'Is it really right for them to do that?' he remembered people whispering. 'We heard that so many times. And around the same time, a lot was happening to me personally, I had so much in my head. I didn't know what to do, so I just poured it all out and left a record,' he said, referring to his album before enlistment. Namjoon may have said those words a year ago, but fans still believe he's carrying the weight, especially now with the pressure of rebranding the group once they return. On the work front, BTS announced a spring comeback last year. The members are currently in the U.S., reportedly filming for new music.
