"Finally, all my hard work has paid. I'm happy with this feat, but I guess my parents, siblings, friends and colleagues are happier than me, as they have been immensely supportive in my journey," said Amrish who is fascinated with the introduction of Cheetah in fauna of India.
Amrish comes from a family with a tradition of
government service
. His grandfather, Suraj Pal Singh Yadav, retired from railways as chief train ticket examiner in 2002, whilst his father Srinivas Yadav retired as Head Constable of PAC.
His younger sibling Awadesh Yadav serves as a constable in Jhansi police. "There are several members in my family who had or are serving in government, but none had qualified the civil services.

When told he will die in 6 months, Adnan Sami went to a bakery. What his father said next led to 120 kg weight loss
At one point in his life, singer Adnan Sami weighed 230 kilograms and lived in complete denial of the serious health consequences that came with it. But everything changed after a doctor issued a grim warning—that he could be dead within six months if he didn't change his lifestyle. What followed was not immediate action, but a surprising act of defiance. Doctors Warned of Fatal Consequences In a candid interview with India TV, he revealed that during a medical consultation accompanied by his father, doctors informed Sami that his health results were critical. They warned, 'If you continue this lifestyle, I will not be surprised that your parents will find you dead in a hotel room six months from now.' The blunt message shocked Sami but also angered him, especially since it was said in front of his father. He admitted he told his father to ignore the doctor's words, believing that doctors often exaggerated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo Ignoring Warnings and Emotional Confrontation Despite the grave advice, Sami confessed he initially did not take the situation seriously. Immediately after the doctor's visit, he went to a bakery and indulged in half their goods. His father was visibly upset and questioned him, asking, 'Aren't you scared of God?' Sami responded dismissively, saying, 'Doctors keep saying things.' However, that evening, a deeply emotional discussion changed everything. Sami's father pleaded with him, saying, 'Please don't have me bury my own child. You have to bury me and not the other way around.' Seeing tears in his father's eyes moved Sami profoundly, and he vowed to lose weight. Physical Struggles Due to Obesity The singer shared the severe physical impact his weight had on his body. He explained that for many years, he could not lie down to sleep because the fat pressed against his lungs, making breathing difficult. This led to complications such as water retention in his legs and a condition called Lymphedema, which causes swelling from lymph fluid buildup. Weight Loss Without Surgery There have been rumors that Sami underwent bariatric surgery or liposuction, but he firmly denied these claims. He credited his transformation to a disciplined, high-protein diet prescribed by his nutritionist. This diet excluded sugar, alcohol, rice, bread, and oil. Sami said he lost 20 kilograms in the first month itself and gradually shed a total of 120 kilograms by following this strict regimen. Adnan Sami's story reflects the power of emotional support and determination in overcoming life-threatening health challenges. His journey from denial to discipline highlights how crucial it is to confront harsh realities and take responsibility for one's well-being.

BJP MLAs Jayanarayan Mishra and Irasis Acharya, separately praised the Mohan Charan Majhi-led govt for what they termed as "widespread development" across the state. "This has been a historic year for Odisha," said Sambalpur MLA Mishra, emphasising significant initiatives for farmers and women's welfare, during a media interactions on the anniversary of party's election victory in Odisha. He also challenged the BJD to account for its previous 24-year tenure. Bhatli legislator Acharya said the govt and BJP would present detailed report cards showcasing its "glorious performance" across various sectors. "From farmers to women, youth to the poor, Odisha has witnessed remarkable positive changes," he claimed. However, BJD spokesperson Lenin Mohanty countered these claims by citing a May 15 note sheet from the chief minister's office that acknowledged significant administrative delays. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "Files are pending at various levels without sufficient justification, from ministers to department secretaries and directors," Mohanty told a press conference. He criticised the govt's plans for grand celebrations, questioning their appropriateness when internal communications indicate administrative bottlenecks. "How can they celebrate so-called successes when their own documents reveal systemic failures?" he asked. The political face-off comes exactly one year after BJP's victory in the assembly election, marking the end of BJD's long tenure in power.
