Archana Puran Singh's son gets upset as fan ignores him but recognises their cook: ‘They walked past me'
After sampling Mumbai's best dosas, vadapaos, pizzas, and other food items, Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi ventured out once again, this time to find the city's best idli destination. They were accompanied, as usual, by their two sons, Aaryamann and Ayushmaan, as well as a special guest. Joining them on the episode was their cook, Bhagyashree, who was celebrating her birthday. Bhagyashree often makes appearances in Archana's vlogs, and was once roped into performing a scripted exchange with Farah Khan's cook Dilip. The group's first destination was the Juhu hotspot Dakshinayan, where they enjoyed two types of idlis. They were approached by several fans as they left, and took out the time to click pictures with them. But Aaryamann was disappointed at being ignored. 'I got a little irritated at the end. People were coming over to take pictures with you guys, and they also asked Ayushmaan if he'd take a picture with them. I thought they would come to me next, but they just walked past me.'

I also inched closer to him, hoping he'd ask for a picture with me, but he didn't.' Bhagyashree joined in as everyone laughed at Aaryamann. 'Forget that, one guy was driving past, and he said, 'Didi, didi, main aapki video dekhta hoon'.' Archana and Parmeet couldn't contain their laughter. 'Aaryamann, they recognised Bhagyashree and not you! Haaye mera bachcha,' Archana said. 'But this guy obviously knew I was there, it's not like he didn't recognise me, I was with the rest of you,' Aaryamann said. They next went to a restaurant called Arya Bhavan. Outside, someone asked Aaryamann if they'd come to the right place, but he thought that they were calling out his name. 'Finally, I thought someone is calling me to take a picture, but they were just asking if they'd come to the right Arya Bhavan,' he said, even more disappointed. 'Yes, I saw that too,' Bhagyashree said with a laugh.

Four-year-old Dhanvi from Kozhikode helps discover subterranean eel loach
KOZHIKODE: In a remarkable blend of childhood curiosity and scientific curiosity, a four-year-old girl has become the unlikely face behind the discovery of a new subterranean fish species from Kerala. Dhanvi Dheera, fondly called Juhu, first noticed the unusual fish while playing with water collected from a well in their house during a visit to Naduvannur in Kozhikode district. Her observation prompted her mother Aswani Lalu to investigate further, which eventually led to a groundbreaking scientific revelation. Aswani, who used to draw water from a dugout perennial well owned by Malol Karthiayani Amma, noticed the tiny eel-like fish and informed local experts. The well, situated at an elevation of 150 m above sea level, receives continuous underground water flow from the hilly terrains of Vallora Mala and drains through a natural subterranean channel, making it an ideal habitat for rare aquatic life. Responding to the find, a scientific team led by Dr K R Sreenath, Director General of the Fisheries Survey of India, and Dr B Pradeep of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kozhikode, collected specimens. Detailed morpho-meristic and genetic analysis confirmed that the fish represented an entirely new species. The eel loach was officially named Pangio Juhuae, in honour of little Juhu who first spotted it. Their research was published in the Indian Journal of Fisheries, under the title 'Discovery of a new species of troglobitic eel loach from Southern India'. The study was co-authored by scientists Dr K R Aju, Dr Sandhya Sukumaran, Dr Wilson Sebastian, Dr Alvin Anto and Dr Grinson George. This marks the third discovery of a subterranean eel loach species in Kerala in recent years. Pangio Bhujia was first identified in 2019 from Cherinjal in Kozhikode, followed by Pangio Pathala from Tiruvalla in Pathanamthitta district in 2022. However, Pangio Juhuae stands apart with its distinct dorsal fin and more pronounced eyes, suggesting it has retained more surface-dwelling traits than its cousins.

4-year-old sees ‘translucent' creature in water tank — and discovers new species
In a village of southwestern India, a child peered into a water tank and noticed a 'translucent' creature with visible bones. She didn't know it at the time, but she'd just discovered a new species. Scientists visited Naduvannur village in December 2021 to survey local aquatic life. The village was part of a 'potential hotspot for subterranean fish diversity,' and 'a four-year-old girl, Juhu,' had noticed some interesting fish in a 'water tank filled with water drawn from a (local) dug-out well,' according to a study published April 11 in the peer-reviewed Indian Journal of Fisheries. Researchers checked the well and found several unfamiliar-looking fish inside, the study said. They took a closer look at the animals and quickly realized they'd discovered a new species: Pangio juhuae, or Juhu's pigmy eel-loach. Juhu's pigmy eel-loaches have 'thin, slender' bodies reaching less than 1.5 inches in length, the study said. Their 'small' heads have tiny eyes that look like 'small black specks.' A photo shows the 'translucent' new species, which is 'devoid of melanin.' Its skeleton is visible, running along the top half of its body. Its belly looks reddish from its 'internal organs and blood vessels.' Juhu's pigmy eel-loaches live underground, but much about its lifestyle remains unknown, the study said. Compared to other underground-dwelling fish, the new species has 'intermediate' adaptations, such as more prominent eyes and fins, the study said. Researchers suspect it 'might still be in the process of evolving towards a fully (underground) life.' 'Further research into this loach has the potential to shed light on broader evolutionary patterns and the remarkable biodiversity thriving in the hidden world beneath our feet,' researchers said. So far, Juhu's pigmy eel-loaches have only been found at Naduvannur, a village in the southwestern state of Kerala and a roughly 1,450-mile drive southwest from New Delhi, the study said. The new species was identified by its fins, eye size, lack of pigmentation, body shape, skeleton and other subtle physical features, the study said. DNA analysis found the new species had at least 1.5% genetic divergence from other related fish species. The research team included K. R. Sreenath, B. Pradeep, K. R. Aju, Sandhya Sukumaran, Wilson Sebastian, Alvin Anto and Grinson George.
