Who doesn't love a popsicle? The icy, refreshing treat is a global favourite, thanks to its endless flavour options, from mango and strawberry to orange and beyond.

Rasam Rice, a classic South Indian dish, is famous for its spicy, tangy flavours. It is served hot with rice. So, the idea of turning it into a frozen popsicle sounds strange to many. Recently, photos and videos have surfaced on social media showing pamphlets and roadside advertisements promoting the unusual Rasam Rice popsicle.

Coolie and War 2 spark backlash over steep ticket hikes in Telugu states
Rajinikanth's Coolie and Hrithik Roshan - Jr NTR starrer War 2 set for an epic clash on August 14. However the ticket pricing in Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Telangana (TS) has ignited a storm online from Monday. Distributors are awaiting government approval for special hikes that could push multiplex tickets to Rs 300 - Rs 550, significantly higher than in the films' home markets, Rs150 - Rs 200 for Coolie in Tamil Nadu and Rs180 - Rs 250 for War 2 in North India. The gap has triggered sharp reactions across X (formerly Twitter), with many calling the hikes 'exploitative.' @Just_Spidye questioned the policy: 'Why Tamil [films] imposed in Andhra & Telangana? Why giving hikes for Tamil films? This is shame of TFI.' Others, like @ranjithNBK, pointed to audience behaviour, 'For a Tier 1 hero, people will go even with hikes… but for Coolie, it's a risk. If talk is bad, huge drops from day two.' The disparity has also drawn political jabs. @LoveIndia163 asked, '#Coolie in TN – Rs 150- Rs 200, #War2 in North – Rs 180-Rs 250, Telugu States – Rs 300-Rs 550? WTH?' Similar sentiments were echoed by many users and the topic has been trending on X.

Taylor Swift's mysterious orange door on website sparks confusion; first details revealed
Taylor Swift ended her The Eras tour weeks ago, walking away through an orange door on stage. Now, a similar door has mysteriously appeared on the Grammy winner's website and fans are confused. The page also has a message, informing fans that the door 'expires' on August 13 at 7 PM ET. Taylor Swift poses at the red carpet during the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California(REUTERS) This comes after Swift announced that her 12th studio album is on the way with the record, titled The Life of a Showgirl, likely associated with the color orange. Read More: Zoe Kravitz's 'hilarious' yet 'harrowing' Taylor Swift's bathroom snake story stuns netizens; 'I'd have killed them' For those unversed with Taylor Swift's previous albums, her 'eras' have always had a color: Midnights was dark blue, Reputation was black, Lover was pastel pink. Swift's team has not yet commented on the 'orange door' speculations. What does the orange door mean? Fans think… One person, on Reddit, brought back the orange door at The Eras tour, saying: 'the orange door from the end of the eras tour! we weren't crazy it actually meant something!!' 'I love the idea that she doesn't meticulously think out every Easter egg & sometimes sees a fan theory about something & is like YES that's absolutely what I meant all along!' another one posted on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. Read More: Taylor Swift's first TV appearance resurfaces after 'The Life of a Showgirl' announcement 'My theory is that she planted some of these 'Easter eggs' before actually writing the album, and incorporated them into her marketing. The door probably just meant 'next album', rather than anything specific about the album or even a timeline of when the album would come out,' a third one tweeted. Taylor Swift dropped her studio album The Tortured Poets Department in April 2024, then surprised fans just two hours later with an expanded double album, The Anthology. The release went on to dominate sales charts, ultimately becoming the year's best-selling album.

Sreeleela sets sights on pan-India stardom
Sreeleela is on a roll. Having made a name for herself in South Indian cinema, she is now eyeing pan-India stardom. The actress began her career with the Kannada film Kiss. She then went on to star in hits like By Two Love (Kannada), and Dhamaka, Guntur Kaaram, and the National Award-winning Bhagavanth Kesari (Telugu). Now, she has another Telugu film in the pipeline; she's also stepping into Tamil and Hindi cinema, with projects that include a Bollywood film alongside Kartik Aaryan and her Tamil debut, Parasakthi, opposite Sivakarthikeyan. These roles represent exciting new chapters for the actress, especially the latter, where she says audiences will 'get to see a new side of me.' Excerpts: 'AS AN ARTISTE, I LIKE CHANGING GEARS; IT KEEPS ME ON MY TOES' Reflecting on the nuances of working across different film industries, Sreeleela says, 'Every language has its own streak, its own flair. What matters most is understanding what the film demands and what the audience expects. Commercial cinema has its own frequency; Hindi cinema is obviously very different from what I've done. But I like changing gears like that. It keeps me on my toes.' 'ACTING TO ME, IS LIVING THE CHARACTER' She emphasises the importance of authenticity in her acting, and says, 'I feel like the moment we start acting instead of living the character, it's not authentic anymore. Especially in Hindi cinema, the scripts I've heard are a little more real, a little more my age, very close to my character. In the past, I've played many characters that weren't completely like me — I tapped into different roles. But these last couple of films feel like me, like a plain me, like how I would really react. I'm excited to bring my authentic self to every screen no matter what language.' 'I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING ROLES THAT FEEL GENUINE' Talking about the kinds of stories that inspire her both on and off screen, Sreeleela says, 'I've always been a sucker for love stories and romcoms. Now I'm in my early 20s, and that's the vibe I'm in. Core emotions like love stay the same; what changes is how they're expressed in cinema. I want to be part of stories that are true to my age and feelings. Today, we are also seeing a rise in female-led films. I love seeing women tap into those strong, inspiring stories, and I hope to portray such roles myself. ' I love entertaining, and being able to do it on a wider canvas only makes me happier Sreeleela
