It's a quiet rebellion against trying too hard, and instead, embracing a more effortless, confident all began, surprisingly, with a boy dancing on a boat.'Aura Farming' found its origin in a viral clip featuring a young Indonesian boy swaying to the remix of See Tnh while standing on a boat. His poker face, smooth movements, and chill vibe made the internet collectively obsessed. He wasn't over-performing—he just radiated self-assured coolness.

It's about owning your energy without demanding validation. Think: "main character energy" meets quiet most aura farmers aim for subtle impact, some take it to cinematic extremes. A recent viral reel from Mumbai shows a woman dancing on the bonnet of a moving Mercedes-Benz, while her boyfriend drove through the busy city video, now widely shared, sparked massive online debate. Was it a bold expression of aura—or dangerous drama disguised as content? Though the woman might have aimed for 'aura farming,' what she triggered was legal trouble and social a reminder that chasing a vibe should never come at the cost of safety—or common THE TREND CAUGHT ONAfter the Indonesian boat video, 'Aura Farming' rapidly evolved into a social media trend.

Jeremy Clarkson brings back beloved part of Clarkson's Farm after u-turn
JEREMY Clarkson looks set to bring back a beloved part of Clarkson's Farm. The TV star has teased fans on Instagram that one of the farm's first additions will be back amid a show u-turn. 4 4 4 Jeremy, 65, has revealed that his original £40,000 Lamborghini Trattori R8 270 DCR tractor is back in business - just weeks after getting rid of his new flashy motor. The former Top Gear host's original tractor was a staple of the Prime Video show before he decided to cast it aside in favour of a new £85,000 green Lamborghini tractor. However, earlier this month it was confirmed that he had sold the tractor at an auction with it reportedly being dogged by numerous electrical problems. Now, Jezza has seemingly confirmed the return of his original £40k motor in a new Instagram video. The Diddly Squat farm shop account shared a clip of the vehicle on Instagram in which it could be seen wired up with a number of GoPro cameras - likely being used to film scenes for upcoming series' of Clarkson's Farm. They added the caption: "Looks who's taking the Lambo for a spin." It signals a welcome return for the original vehicle with die-hard fans of the programme going wild over the confirmation that it was never sold off. One fan said of the tractor swaps: "The new Lambo was cool, but I'm glad he sold it and kept the original." Before another wrote: "He's still got ol'faithful?! "Is the new Lambo really that bad?" Jeremy Clarkson flogs his giant £85k Lamborghini tractor just weeks after buying it Jeremy was seen testing tractors last month on an epsode of Amazon Prime's Clarkson's Farm. Farm manager Kaleb Cooper, 26, was gobsmacked at the size of the Lambo he chose. An engineer who saw Jeremy, Kaleb and a film crew at the auction sale in Sutton, near Ely, Cambs, earlier this month, said: 'He was right next to his huge tractor. 'It was great to see him. I'm a fan. 'I watched every Top Gear with my dad and watch the Clarkson's Farm with my son.'

Jeremy Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan shares rare loved-up picture with her long-term partner
's Farm star Harriet Cowan has shared a rare loved-up picture with her long-term partner, James Booth to TikTok on Thursday. The 24-year-old nurse and farmhand shocked viewers of the hugely popular Prime Video show when she appeared in the trailer for series four after Jeremy's co-star Kaleb Cooper temporarily left the show. And she has been enjoying her time in the spotlight ever since, now boasting half a million followers on Instagram and 700,000 over on TikTok. While she has not been cast permanently on the farm show, she has been keeping her fans updated on her personal life as she revealed a sweet back story about her relationship. Jumping on a recent TikTok trend, she took to the social media platform to share a cosy snapshot with her partner James alongside a throwback picture from their teen days in 2018. Harriet penned: 'From party teenagers in 2018, to mid-to-late 20s in 2025 and like to be in bed before 10. I hope I get to this life with you forever.' Harriet and her beau, who is believed to be a third-generation farmer, first met at a Young Farmer's meeting. Harriet has given her followers a sneak peek into their private life together through her social media and has an entire highlight dedicated to her 'love'. In one of her recent posts, she shared a clip of James behind the wheel of a green tractor, and suggested that that he is four years her senior. In another post, she quipped: 'The 'butterfly effect' is crazy because if I didn't join Young Farmers we'd never have met.' 'YFC gave me my whole life and for that I will be forever grateful!' Harriet also urged others to consider joining community groups, promising they will 'meet the greatest people'. Her followers were happy to see the couple together and publicly sharing insights into their life. One commented: 'Wishing you both eternal happiness,' while another added: 'You two are so cute,'. One follower, who has been in a relationship for a similar duration, shared: 'Me and my partner begun our relationship in 2018 too! 7 years, 1 dog, 2 kids and two homes later, we made it.' Some fans hinted at wedding bells, too. One joked: 'Buddy needs to put a ring on your finger.' And another cheekily asked: 'When's the wedding?.' Harriet recently broke her silence on a 'fake' Clarkson's Farm scene as she spoke candidly on a new podcast. She has been helping out Jeremy with an array of tasks on the farm and impressing viewers while also challenging stereotypes around women in farming. And last week Harriet appeared on the Should I Delete That podcast with Jeremy's daughter Emily. She spoke about one scene in the trailer that she thought seemed 'fake' when she watched it back but was in fact completely true. They discussed on the podcast how busy farmers are and how Harriet also works a full time nursing job five days a week. Emily asked her: 'Do you ever sit down with your boyfriend and chill together, or eat together? It sounds impossible.' Harriet then said: 'No! In the trailer where it's like, 'Have you watched Clarkson's Farm before?' And I'm like, 'No', and when I watched it it looked so fake. But it is so real because we don't watch telly. 'Literally, if we watch something, James will sit down, his head will hit the back of the sofa and he's asleep because the second he can rest, he'll sleep, because he's so tired all the time.' On the podcast Harriet also spoke about breaking stereotypes of women working in the world of farming On the podcast Harriet also spoke about breaking stereotypes of women working in farming. She said of appearing on the show: 'I wanted to show that women can do it too, we are there but people can't see it. Women can do it. 'Most people think of just older men wearing checked shirts when it comes to farming. 'I am challenging people's views of what people think a farmer looks like. People are so shocked when they drive past and I'm in the tractor they just stare.' The recent Clarkson's Farm trailer showed Jeremy running into several obstacles on the farm, yet TikTok star Harriet made a good impression as she was quick to help. Jeremy was left in awe at her work, turning to the camera and gushing: 'She's brilliant!' She wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty as she put in fences, loaded feed for the animals and even showed her welding skills on Diddly Squat Farm. Kaleb - who was on a nationwide tour - later returned to the farm and seemed to be getting along well with his replacement. It's hardly surprising that Harriet was a natural on the farm, having grown up helping her father Eddy tend to his land. She revealed on social media that her mother wanted her to become a nurse but her father wanted her to follow in his footsteps - so she opted to do both.

F1: The Movie
Loosely doing for Days of Thunder what Top Gun: Maverick did for Top Gun, and filling a big Top Gear gap for your dad in the process, F1 is the Jerry Bruckheimiest thing to hit our screens in an age – and it's a full-throttle triumph. The '90s are officially back and they're really, really loud. With Brad Pitt engaging A-list god mode, a booming Hans Zimmer score, a crateload full of pop and dance bangers, and writer-director Joseph Kosinski hitting the same punch-the-air beats as his superlative 2022 Top Gun reboot, it's a throwback to simpler days when multi-dimensional characters were a luxury no one could afford, because they'd spent all the money on helicopter shots. But switch off your brain and F1 will overwhelm your senses with spectacle, sonics and just enough human drama to hold it all together. A sport so in love with its soapy dramatics, its team chiefs were bitching about each other at the premiere of this movie, the gleaming, hermetic world of F1 isn't a natural fit for Pitt's languid charisma. Which is ideal, because his impulsive veteran racing driver, Sonny Hayes, isn't either. When we meet him, Sonny is an ex-F1 superstar with a troubled past and a transient present as a driver-for-hire at Daytona. His old pal and F1 team owner Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem, bringing his A-game to a B-grade character) has a proposal for him: help his struggling team finish the season in something other than disgraceful fashion, and stave off the vultures on the board in the process. Pitt's veteran wheel-jockey is soon rocking up at Silverstone with a bag slung over his shoulder, a chest full of medallions and the air of a man in completely the wrong place. 'He's a gambling junkie who's missed his shot,' grumbles a new team member. 'Not a has-been, a never-was', adds another. The '90s are officially back and they're really, really loud There's immediate tension with his new team's cocky star driver Joshua Peace (Farming 's Damson Idris) and a tense-but-flirty standoff with the team's technical director (The Banshees of Inisherin 's Kerry Condon). So, yes, F1 does deliver just about every available comeback story cliché, but when there's this much rizz and this many thrills, it scarcely matters. And Londoner Idris is a real star-in-the-making here. And the races? Even for someone who's sat through about four laps of Formula 1 in his entire life, the race track action is electrifying. It only dragged when the movie ticked well into its second hour and we'd toured most of the world's race tracks and clocked up our thousandth F1 celebrity cameo (hello – checks notes – Toto Wolff). It's hard to draw too much old-school romance from this world of sponsorship, celebrity and sports washing, but F1 manages it on the back of Pitt's earthy charm. Watch it rev into the canon of great sports movies. Motion sickness tablets recommended.
