He's merely eight years old, but that didn't stop him from paying a touching tribute to the Indian Army. A little boy, hailing from Karur, Tamil Nadu, recently hit headlines for donating his savings, which he had accumulated over 10 months, to the Armed Forces.For the past ten months, the young child had been quietly setting aside his allowance and collecting small amounts from family members, all with a purpose far bigger than himself. The total wasn't large by monetary standards, but it was filled with purpose, emotion, and dedication. What moved him deeply was learning about the Indian soldiers' bravery and relentless sacrifice in protecting India's borders. His young heart, stirred by these stories of courage, found only one way to express his respect — by donating everything he had saved.The boy didn't rely on others to make the donation on his behalf. He carried his small money bank — uniquely shaped like a miniature water tank — to the Karur District Collector's office, filled with rupee notes and coins. There, he personally handed it over as a token of gratitude to the country's protectors. The district collector, moved by the heartfelt gesture, publicly applauded the young donor for his selfless act and the thoughtful motivation behind it.In a video clip broadcast by a local news outlet, the child explained the inspiration behind his actions. He said, 'I study in the second standard. I saved all my money to give to the army soldiers because I want to help those who protect us.' His innocent yet profound words reflected a deep sense of empathy rarely seen in someone so young.The video was shared by X (formerly Twitter) user Sandeep Yadav, and it quickly went viral. Social media was flooded with admiration. One user commented, 'Such a precious young child, gifted with extraordinary common sense and generosity. Hope his mind stays this way forever despite the toxic media in TN. Lots of love and wishes to this amazing kid.'Another wrote, 'It's not the amount, but the intent that counts. This young boy has made his parents and the nation proud.''No matter how much he has donated, I appreciate his ideology and his efforts. He made his parents proud at a very young age,' another observed. Another wrote, 'Great step by the lovely child. He is an inspiration for others to follow.'

Dress code for Rudrabhishek at Mankameshwar
Prayagraj: This Shrawan month, which will begin on July 11, devotees willing to perform Rudrabhishek (special puja) of Lord Shiva at the famous Mankameshwar temple campus will have to follow a dress code. While women devotees must wear a saree or suit, men devotees will need to wear a dhoti, kurta, and paijama while performing Rudrabhishek on the temple campus. The management of Mankameshwar temple has decided to implement a dress code for devotees only for those willing to perform Rudrabhishek during the Shrawan month. "Devotees must be conscious of Indian culture and tradition and must wear decent clothes while performing Rudrabhishek on the temple campus," said chief priest Mahant Shridharanand Brahmachari. For other devotees arriving for darshan, there will be no dress code, he made it clear. He, however, appealed to devotees to wear traditional Indian dress while visiting temples to offer prayers to deities.

Three Indian Dishes Ranked Among World's Best 50 Breakfasts, Third Might Surprise You!
India's morning flavors are making waves on the global stage, and foodies have reason to celebrate. TasteAtlas, the internationally recognised food and travel guide, has just released its much-awaited list of the '50 Best Breakfasts in the World,' and THREE Indian classics have carved out a place among the global elite. From the fiery streets of Maharashtra to the bustling lanes of Delhi and the homely kitchens of North India, Misal Pav, Paratha, and Chole Bhature have earned well-deserved spots in the top rankings. These dishes aren't just about taste, they represent culture, community, and comfort. Here's a look at why these iconic Indian breakfasts have taken the world by storm. Ranked #18: Misal Pav- Maharashtra's Fiery Masterpiece Spicy, crunchy, colorful, and comforting, Misal Pav is a dish that packs a punch with every bite. Ranked 18th on the list, this Maharashtrian delicacy is a flavorful mix of spicy sprouted bean curry (misal), topped with crunchy farsan, fresh onions, coriander, and a dash of lemon, served with buttered pav (bread rolls). According to TasteAtlas, "It is mandatory for a true misal to be spicy, while the base needs to be crunchy. Visually, it should look like a work of art, typically red, brown, orange, and green." Often consumed as a breakfast, snack, or brunch, Misal Pav is not just a dish, it's a morning ritual in many Maharashtrian households and eateries. Ranked #23: Paratha- The North Indian Breakfast Essential Coming in at #23, Paratha isn't just a meal, it's an emotion. Whether stuffed with spiced potatoes, cauliflower, paneer, or just plain layered with ghee, parathas are versatile, hearty, and deeply satisfying. A staple in North Indian homes, this dish is often served with yogurt, pickles, and a dollop of butter. What makes parathas special is their adaptability, each region has its own version, from the flaky lachha parathas of Punjab to the thick, crispy variants found in UP and Bihar. Paratha's place in the global breakfast scene is well-earned; it's comfort food at its finest. Ranked #32: Chole Bhature- Delhi's Street Food Superstar At #32, Chole Bhature is as indulgent as breakfast can get. A fluffy, deep-fried bhature served with spicy chickpea curry (chole), it's a beloved dish across North India, especially Delhi. Often eaten on weekends or special occasions, it combines rich flavors and satisfying textures that leave you full, and happy, for hours. It's street food at its most iconic, and its inclusion in the global list reflects just how universally delicious it is. More Indian Favorites in the Extended List While TasteAtlas' Instagram post revealed the top 50, their website featured extended rankings up to 100, with even more Indian dishes making the cut. Dishes like Nihari, Shrikhand, and Palak Paneer proudly represent India's culinary depth and variety in the breakfast space. TasteAtlas has previously recognised Indian breads and curries in their world rankings, and this continued appreciation showcases India's growing influence on the global food map. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TasteAtlas (@tasteatlas) Why This Recognition Matters This isn't just a list, it's a celebration of how Indian cuisine is earning its rightful place on global breakfast tables. These dishes showcase the rich tapestry of Indian flavors, spices, textures, traditions, and stories passed down through generations. In a world where food is increasingly connecting cultures, India's breakfast dishes stand out not just for taste but for the joy and nostalgia they serve with every bite. So next time you dig into a plate of Misal Pav, roll up a hot paratha, or enjoy the spicy-satisfying chaos of Chole Bhature, remember, you're not just eating breakfast, you're experiencing a slice of India that the world has come to admire. Hungry yet? You're not alone.
