Zeenat Aman calls herself ‘an awful archivist'
Veteran Bollywood diva Zeenat Aman took a nostalgic trip as she shared some old memories from her modelling days. However, she called herself 'an awful archivist' as she revealed she has lost all her 'material memories' 'over the years'. Zeenat took to Instagram, where she shared a handful of images from her modelling advertisements for flight, jewellery brand, soap and clothes brands. The septuagenarian took to the caption section and wrote: 'It is such a pity that I am an awful archivist! Almost all my material memories have been lost over the years. The photographs, letters, slides, and notes of my 50 year long career are all lost to the passage of time.' She revealed she loves stumbling across her old work online. 'Each picture gives me a little jolt of recollection, and unearths buried memories. My modelling career was short but fruitful, and an excellent outlet for a teenager working on her poise, confidence and pocket money!' she added. She strongly feels there's a charm to 'print advertisements' over videos. 'These vintage ads are amongst my favourites. They'd be outdated today, but I do think there's a charm to print advertisements that video can never replicate.' The diva went on to explain the advertisements she shot as she wrote: 'So, from first to last: '1. Playing the 'dark haired beauty' for @airindia in an ad I love, but I suspect would be sharply critiqued today for all its 'exotic' exuberance. Thoughts?' '2. Bouffants and cat eyes! A modelling assignment with Shobha De, for a jewellery brand if I remember correctly. Some years ago we bumped into one another at an event in Australia and @sanjoykroy made us recreate these frames for a laugh!' For the next, the actress added: '3. Being a flower power poster girl for Krimpex! Stripes, minis, headbands, chokers, bellbottoms… I spent a scholarship year in California during the late 60s and you can see the influence it had on my fashion sense.' '4. This one is from the later years. I had a long association with Lux, and they ran a number of advertisements with my mug! Which one is your favourite?'

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Monday announced that civilian flight operations will resume at 32 airports that were temporarily shut last week until May 15. The other airports that were allowed to resume civilian flight operations were Adhampur, Ambala, Awantipur, Bathinda, Bikaner, Halwara, Hindon, Jaisalmer, Kandla, Kangra (Gaggal), Keshod, Kishangarh, Kullu Manali (Bhuntar), Ludhiana, Mundra, Naliya, Pathankot, Patiala, Porbandar, Sarsawa, Shimla, Thoise and Uttarlai. The announcement came two days after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire. Tensions between the two countries simmered following a deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22. After finding cross-border links to the attack that left 26 people dead, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 and struck nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). India destroyed multiple camps of terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Hizbul Mujahideen and killed more than 100 terrorists. After the Indian armed forces' overnight operations, the Pakistani Army launched drones and missiles at western parts of India, which were successfully intercepted. India then hit selected military targets deep inside Pakistani territory, such as radar installations, command and control centres, and ammunition depots in Rafiqui, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, and Sialkot, among others. The two countries reached a ceasefire agreement on Saturday to halt military actions with immediate effect.

‘Arrive at airports 3 hours before departure': India tightens air security amid border tensions with Pakistan
Air India has issued a nationwide travel advisory asking passengers to arrive at airports at least three hours before their scheduled departures. The advisory follows a directive from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security to implement enhanced security protocols at airports across the country. Check-in counters will now close 75 minutes prior to departure. The move comes as tensions between India and Pakistan have sharply escalated. On Wednesday, Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor, a coordinated strike on nine terrorist sites across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The operation was carried out in response to the 22 April terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives. #TravelAdvisory In view of an order by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security on enhanced measures at airports, passengers across India are advised to arrive at their respective airports at least three hours prior to scheduled departure to ensure smooth check-in and boarding.… — Air India (@airindia) May 8, 2025 In the early hours of Thursday, Pakistan retaliated by launching missiles and drones aimed at 15 Indian military installations, stretching from Srinagar to Bhuj. India responded by targeting air defence radars and systems within Pakistan, reportedly neutralising a key installation in Lahore. As a result of heightened military activity, commercial flight operations have been disrupted, particularly in regions close to the border. Airports in Jodhpur, Amritsar, Leh, Jammu, and Kashmir have seen cancellations and delays, with travel agents expressing uncertainty about when normal operations might resume. Passengers are advised to check regularly with airlines and airport authorities, and to allow additional time for travel as heightened security measures are expected to remain in place for the foreseeable future.
