Will Baba Vanga's 2025 predictions come true? Experts say panic over prophecies unfounded
Japanese manga artist predicts July 2025 disaster
At the heart of the panic is Ryo Tatsuki, a manga artist known for her 1999 book The Future I Saw, Ladbible reported. Among several eerily timed predictions, one idea has now grabbed international attention: a prophecy about a catastrophic event in southern Japan on July 5, 2025, with visions of the ocean 'boiling'.
After the recent earthquake in Myanmar and a fresh government report warning of possible mega-quakes near Japan's Nankai Trough, rumor mills have been buzzing. Ladbible reported travel cancelations have surged, particularly from Hong Kong, with airlines cutting flights and Tokushima's tourism board expressing concern over what they dubbed 'unscientific rumors' impacting the region.

Baba Vanga's prophecies for 2025
Meanwhile, legendary clairvoyant Baba Vanga, who is often called 'Nostradamus of the Balkans', is again making headlines for her alleged predictions about 2025. According to another Mirror report, Baba Vanga had predicted a 'great war' between East and West which could take place in the spring after Syria's fall, potentially triggering World War III. Her prediction came to notice after the tensions between Israel and Iran heightened recently.
The Mirror report added she also predicted economic crisis, development of telepathy, and establishment of contact between humans and extraterrestrials.
Scientists push back
However, experts have firmly dismissed both Tatsuki and Vanga's claims. Professor Sekiya Naoya of Tokyo University was quoted in the Ladbible report as saying even with modern science, it cannot be predicted when and where a earthquake will occur.
Meanwhile disaster mitigation expert Kimiro Meguro added that the doomsday prophecy is just a rumor and it has no scientific basis. Meguro noted speculations like these only stoke fear and misinformation.
Reportedly, even local leaders have expressed frustration; Governor Yoshihiro Murai reportedly criticized spread of such unverified predictions and claimed it was a 'major problem' that information based on unscientific evidence was being widely circulated and impacting tourism.

Tom Brady's Fourth of July tribute goes viral as he honors both America and his mother in heartfelt post
As fireworks lit up the sky across the nation on July 4th, Tom Brady took the opportunity to celebrate something far more personal than just Independence Day. In a heartfelt Instagram post that quickly made waves online, the icon paid tribute to the woman he calls his greatest coach and biggest fan—his mother, Galynn Patricia Brady. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A dual celebration: America's freedom and a mother's strength For Tom Brady, the Fourth of July is more than barbecues and parades—it's the day his mother was born. Calling it 'one of the most important birthdays,' the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback expressed deep gratitude for Galynn's strength and resilience, especially during her battle with breast cancer. In his emotional tribute, Brady wrote, 'Happy Birthday, Mom. Thank you for being someone our family could always count on... Your strength, determination, love, and selflessness know no bounds.' Galynn was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, a battle she fought with quiet courage and unshakeable spirit. Her presence at Super Bowl LI in 2017, where Brady led a historic comeback, remains one of the most emotionally charged moments in NFL history. The quarterback added, 'We love you so much, and we're beyond grateful for every moment we get to share with you. Happy Birthday! And happy birthday to America!' Behind Tom Brady's career was a supportive mom who once hesitated While Brady is now revered as one of the greatest athletes of all time, his journey to the NFL wasn't always assured. In fact, Galynn was initially hesitant about her son playing football in high school, concerned about the sport's physical risks. But once she recognized his passion, she stood firmly by his side through every touchdown and trophy. Raised in a tightly-knit family in San Mateo, California, Brady credits both his parents for instilling the values that shaped his competitive edge. His father, Tom Brady Sr., was known for turning ordinary moments into challenges—something Brady says made the household both fun and fiercely motivating. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Brady's post wasn't just a tribute to his mom—it was a quiet reflection on values like family, sacrifice, and gratitude. In an age where public figures often reserve social media for polished branding, his message struck a deeply human chord. For fans, it served as a powerful reminder: behind the championships and the celebrity image is a man who hasn't forgotten the people who got him there. Also Read: This Fourth of July, Tom Brady reminded us all that the meaning of independence often begins at home—with the people who teach us how to stand strong.

Brickbats or Bouquets
Bengaluru is bursting at its seams. Maybe it's time we, the locals, start throwing some stones too! New restaurants, pubs, eateries and 'amusement centres' close faster than they open. Frankly, we are spoilt for choice, and given the fact that our 'techie' population is cash-rich, they demand nothing but the best. And why not, I ask? Now, restaurateurs are thinking of newer concepts to draw in crowds. Any 'flea market' (most 'un-flea' with the beautiful artefacts and clothes on display) always has an array of 'popped-up' food counters featuring a myriad of restaurants, where the discerning buyers can buy as well as eat and make it a day's outing. I love going to the JW Marriott's markets run by the enterprising duo of jewellery designer Nidhi Kataria and designer Raj Shroff. Sometimes we make it for a quick lunch and shopping, or coffee and high tea. Sometimes there is a crooner and one always bumps into other like-minded bff's (buying-friends-forever)! We did a fam-jam at Part-Two, a 'no-concept' concept by the young owners of Biere Club, who hosted the urban legend, Nooresha Kabli, a chef who specialises in Japanese food at her restaurant, Izumi, in Mumbai. The vibe was young and noisy unlike a serene Japanese experience, but hey! That's the new Bengaluru for you! But luckily, some things remain the same in namma ooru, and that is the grace and elegance with which our long-time residents conduct themselves. Priya and Mohan Mascarenhas was a couple that epitomised the quiet and understated luxury of owning an award-winning home, travelling the world, and being the most sought-after couple in the social circuit. Mohan passed away as elegantly as he lived his life last year. His bereft soulmate Priya decided to 'celebrate his life' by throwing a high tea for only her close and intimate circle (which included the d'elite of Bangalore). A short and poignant service full of good memories and bonhomie was followed by a high tea that our good queen would be impressed by! The ego wants quantity, while the soul craves quality.
