Crackdown on Harvard triggers concern among US-bound students & their parents
Pune: There is a mixed reaction among parents in the city regarding their children's future studies in the US, especially after US President Donald Trump blocked foreign students' enrollment in Harvard, which a judge in the US temporarily blocked. Some study-abroad counsellors said they have had cases where parents, whose wards received admission offers from the US, have opted to switch to Singapore. They also mentioned that they have been fielding numerous questions from concerned parents regarding the uncertainty. Meanwhile, some parents said they had adopted a wait-and-watch approach. An Indian student who received offers from 17 US colleges and ultimately chose Stanford, said, "While Stanford has not issued any email yet to the student body, I did see an informal online post by the Stanford president condemning the action against international students. Parents are concerned and worried about our well-being, the job market, etc," he said. However, some institutions like the University of Pennsylvania have reached out to international students, telling them not to panic and assuring them of its support. Ronith Lahoti, who completed his schooling at the Indus International School, Pune, would be going to the US in August to pursue an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Iconic 90s Women: The Crushes of a Generation Boite A Scoop Undo "Two days ago, we got an email from the university. This was an email appealing to all international students not to worry or be anxious, stating that the university will support us. They have also given contact numbers in case we need to reach out to them. I will be paying for my education there, and there is some worry about the uncertainty regarding international students. But since the university's email two days ago, we are feeling much better," said Lahoti. The political showdown between Trump and Harvard, the higher cost of studies, uncertain job market, all coupled with media headlines, had caused parents to worry, said Nikhil Jain, founder and CEO at ForeignAdmits. "We are getting calls from anxious parents whether it is worth the risk to send the students to the US now or they should opt for another country. For low-risk appetite parents, the worry is real not just because of the Harvard incident, but also considering the high cost of education coupled with a fragile job market scenario. We recently had a case where, despite getting an offer from a US university, the parent decided to opt for Singapore due to the uncertainty about the US student visa policy. Parents are also writing to the universities asking them to either delay their admission by a term or for support. The US has also made Harvard an example because the wider message is, if they can block the entry of foreign students at Harvard, which is one of the most prestigious colleges in the country, then they can do so anywhere," said Jain. Some students and parents have adopted a wait-and-watch attitude. "Whatever happens is not in our hands. So, we are not worried. We are following the developments in the US on the news as well as from a relative who lives in the US. There is no point in worrying anyway. We are not exploring any alternative options at this time," said Abiya Syed, who secured a berth at Columbia University, where she will study biology and gender studies. Dilip Oak, who runs a study abroad consultation firm in Pune, said that while he has no students going to Harvard, there is no panic among parents or children who received offers from elsewhere.

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost's love story: How did the Marvel icon's world collide with comedy's quiet genius?
Scarlett Johansson and her husband Colin Jost When it comes to Hollywood romances, most stories are written in neon lights, fueled by tabloids. But every now and then, a love story comes along that feels weirdly… grounded. Enter Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost—a pairing no one really saw coming until it just made sense. And somehow, in a world of over-the-top Instagram announcements and red carpet theatrics, theirs unfolded in the most SNL way possible—smart, silly, and surprisingly sincere. From celebrity crush to co-workers Let's rewind. Scarlett Johansson, global superstar, Oscar-nominated actor, and a Marvel icon , has long been a Hollywood fixture. Colin Jost , meanwhile, was that smart, self-deprecating guy behind the scenes at Saturday Night Live, a writer since 2005 and co-anchor of Weekend Update since 2014. He wasn't the guy you'd see in front of flashing cameras at the Met Gala—he was the one making jokes about the Met Gala. So how did their worlds collide? Scarlett had actually hosted SNL multiple times before sparks flew. Her first appearance was back in 2006, but it wasn't until her 2017 hosting gig, her fifth time on the show, that things started to shift. That night, Jost was front and center with his usual dry wit on Weekend Update, and rumor has it he was also pretty smitten backstage. And to be fair, who wouldn't be? Later that year, they were spotted getting cozy at an SNL after-party, and boom—the whispers started. But for a while, it was all low-key. No joint interviews, no showy PDA, just a slow simmer of 'Are they…?' And yeah, they were. Love blooms in Studio 8H T by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Iconic 90s Women: The Crushes of a Generation Boite A Scoop Undo here's something about SNL that breeds relationships. Maybe it's the late nights. Maybe it's the weirdly intimate pressure of making America laugh in real-time. Or maybe it's just that comedy is a hell of a bonding agent. Colin has admitted that his work on SNL helped him connect with Scarlett. In his 2020 memoir "A Very Punchable Face', Jost talks openly about their relationship, calling Scarlett the 'smartest, most beautiful person.' (And let's be honest, that's about as un-jokey and sincere as Colin Jost gets.) He also mentions being terrified when meeting her friends, normal stuff like, you know, Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr. Scarlett, for her part, has said that Colin's intelligence and 'charm on camera' really won her over. She even joked that he was 'the cute news guy' on SNL before they started dating. In 2019, after two years of dating and a healthy amount of public eye-dodging, Colin popped the question. And in true Jost fashion, he didn't go flashy. Just a classic, sweet, get-down-on-one-knee moment that Scarlett described as 'a beautiful surprise.' She later admitted it was one of the 'most special moments' of her life. And can we talk about the ring for a second? An 11-carat, light brown diamond! Final take: From Studio 8H to 'I Do' Like many couples in 2020, ScarJo and Colin had to pivot their plans. They didn't go the celebrity wedding route with helicopters and beachside vows. Instead, they tied the knot in October 2020 in an intimate ceremony, with only close family and friends in attendance. In true stealth mode, the couple welcomed their first child together in August 2021, a baby boy adorably named Cosmo. Yes, Cosmo. Colin announced it in a delightfully awkward Instagram post that simply said, 'We got a baby. His name is Cosmo. We love him very much.' Classic Jost delivery. Scarlett already had a daughter, Rose, from her previous marriage, and according to friends, the blended family is doing just fine. And yes, Colin's mom reportedly needed a moment to adjust to the name 'Cosmo.' Colin still holds down the fort on SNL, anchoring Weekend Update alongside Michael Che and occasionally making headlines for his sharp, sarcastic takes. Scarlett, meanwhile, has stayed relatively low-key since becoming a mom again, though she's got plenty in the works behind the scenes, including her production company and skincare line. But every once in a while, they pop up together—on red carpets, at awards shows, or just in little glimpses on social media—and remind us that even in the high-drama world of Hollywood, love stories can be both real and refreshingly normal. Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost may have met under the flickering lights of a live comedy stage, but their story isn't some flashy sketch. It's slow-burn, sweet, and kind of sneakily perfect. Proof that sometimes, the best romances are the ones that play out quietly—between sketches, between scenes, between laughs. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change
