Long before Pragya Pandey and Adil Hasan first crossed paths in New York, they had both lived and studied briefly in Florence, Italy, during different periods of their college years—falling in love with the romanticism of the Tuscan capital. Later, fate ensured that the duo would meet in their hometown of New York where they bonded over their passion for art, culture and renaissance history. “It was one of those, ‘you meet once and you just know' situations,” the couple reveals about their first date, describing how they fell in love on the streets of New York; from sharing slices of pizza on sidewalks to strolling the city with a coffee in hand.
Soon enough, the couple found themselves planning a surprise proposal for each other. Only, Pandey managed to pull it off first. “I took Adil for a walk to dinner and stopped by the neighbourhood bookstore down the block from our home. The store was kept open late just for us and there was also a violinist. I shared a short poem that I had written for Adil, asking him to marry me. It was private, special and such a New York moment,” she reveals.
When it finally came to choosing a destination for their intimate nuptials, the couple knew it had to be Florence. It's a city that held deep meaning for both. “We scouted for locations across Europe, from the Greek islands to the South of France, but we kept coming back to Florence,” they say. Villa Pitiana, an estate set amidst rolling hills in the Tuscan countryside made for just the right venue with its rustic charm and sprawling grounds. Originally a monastery dating back to the 13th century, its grandeur and understated beauty ticked all the boxes for the celebrations they had envisioned.
The couple admits that it wasn't an easy feat balancing both their religious customs and traditions with their respective families. “We shared a vision for our wedding where our families felt equally included and both sets of traditions were respected, all the while celebrating the love we have for each other, and them,” they explain. To honour their cultures, they decided to hold two wedding ceremonies back-to-back; the pheras as well as a nikah ceremony. The bride and groom also incorporated their own vows into the ceremonies. “When two different cultures or religions converge, there is a fear of the unknown. However, it was during the wedding weekend and especially during the ceremonies, that these barriers were broken. It was a realisation that although different, our traditions are remarkably similar,” the couple shares.

======
On April 1, Revant Himatsingka, using the Instagram handle “Food Pharmer,” uploaded a minute-long video criticizing the Bournvita brand for misrepresenting the nutritional value of its product on its packaging.
Revant questioned whether the government should allow companies to mislead consumers with false claims. He argued that parents are encouraging their children to develop a lifelong sugar addiction by giving them such products at a young age. Revant also mocked the brand's catchphrase, “Taiyari jeet ki”, suggesting that it should be “Taiyari diabetes ki” instead.
Reports indicate that the now-deleted reel had 12 million views on Revant's Instagram page alone. The video was then widely shared on Twitter and LinkedIn, gaining support from users on all of these platforms.
====
=====
Cadbury allegedly sent a legal notice to an Instagram influencer, Revant Himatsingka, following the widespread dissemination of his video criticising the promotion of Bournvita as a “health drink”. The influencer promptly removed the post from all of his social media accounts. In the video, Mr. Himatsingka accused the brand of “miscommunication” regarding the product's “nutritional value”, and derided the assertions made on the packaging. He even suggested that the brand's catchphrase “tayyari jeet ki” should be revised to “tayyari diabetes ki.”
=====
Our scumbag megacorp even went so far as to say : ""On April 9th, 2023, Cadbury Bournvita responded to the criticism with a statement on their social media handle. The company clarified, saying “Bournvita contains nutrients namely Vitamin A, C, D, Iron, Zinc, Copper and Selenium which help build immunity. These have been part of our formulation for several years. We have always called out ‘Helps with the healthy functioning of the immune system' on the back of our pack for several years (even before the Covid-19 pandemic).”
The move also highlights the conflict between large packaged food companies and claims made by users of social media sites that via videos often probe the health benefits or sugar content of juices and other health products. As consumers become more conscious of what they consume—such content receives massive interest on social media.
The government is mulling guidelines that mandate that influencers reveal their qualifications before giving advice on health, according to a news report in the Business Standard.
In fact, India's top food regulator Food Safety and Standards Authority of India or FSSAI is in the process of framing front-of-pack labelling for packaged food products in a bid to regulate their fat, sugar and salt content.
Finally the back lash go so big in Bharat news that a large indian Nutrition National Board came to his defence
"After a social media influencer who had spoken up about the amount of sugar in Bournvita was forced to remove his post when it went viral, food scientists and doctors are now slamming the brand and coming out in support of the influencer. Revant Himatsingka, who is known as FoodPharmer on Instagram where he has over 1.3 lakh followers, had shared an Instagram Reels calling out Cadbury for advertising Bournvita as a “health drink”, despite its high sugar content."
Scientists and doctors hit out:
Shashi Iyengar, a metabolic health coach, said that the concept of “health drinks” has been implanted in us from an early stage of life. Aggressive marketing, with celebrities pushing it, has given a magical aura around it and even he has taken these as a kid.
“Some punch lines used: ‘__ is the secret of my energy', 'Tyaari Jeet ki', ‘Strong bones. Strong muscles, Active brain', ‘Taller, stronger, sharper', ‘Immunity booster'. Do we really need these with tall unproven claims? A glass of full fat milk is better. We don't need these sugary junks,” he tweeted.
Eventually things go so serious another board pitched in:
Nutrition advocacy group pitches in:
Nutrition Advocacy in Public Interest (NAPi) — a national think-tank on nutrition — comprising independent experts in epidemiology, human nutrition, community nutrition, pediatrics, medical education, administration and management, has also come out in support of the influencer.
NAPi, in its statement, said that there is enough scientific evidence present in the public domain pertaining to the negative impact of increasing consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) — which Bournvita falls under — on human health. This includes several chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and depression (non-communicable diseases).
“More than 60 percent of deaths that happen in India are due to non-communicable diseases and overconsumption of UPFs is attributed to be one of the major reasons,” said NAPi in a statement.
It further added that the aggressive marketing of UPFs drives the increasing consumption of UPFs, leading to unhealthy and unsustainable diets replacing real foods globally. India is rapidly rising in consumption of UPFs too.
Even government officials had taken notice, and Indian regulators stated on their twatter account they would enforce legislature to add transparency to content of sugary products
So yeah imagine some influencer calling out your BS marketing to teenagers, and your backlash suddenly cascading into a controversy where actual Indian government officials get involved, all after 70 years of Cadbury corporate sleezebaggery and getting away with false advertizing
EFFORTPOST Bored translator (or potential dramanaut?) from around the turn of the century does an "fcky wucky" while translating the Mahabharat, also known as India's great epic. Nearly 100 years later, millions of western conspiratards are now convinced that a nuclear war occurred in India thousands of years ago. [Effortpost]

If you ever spend time in any conspiratard circle, or ever spend time watching the herstory channel at night, youll most likely have heard about a supposed ancient nuclear exchange that occured in Endia.
It goes like this:
- Apparently the most radioactive skeletons ever found were located in the Indus valley
*At that site, the skeletons were found lying face down, many holding hands, suggesting a sudden and violent death
*a giant crater was found nearby that couldn't have been formed by a meteor due to the lack of iron in the area. the PH in the lake and material around the lake suggest an outburst of energy from a nuke caused it, most likely originating from the atmosphere
*Oppenheimer (the guy from the movie) was apparently quoted as having said that "this was first nuclear detonation in MODERN times"
*Ancient city walls and mountains were apparently vitrified by a sudden heat
But the biggest pieces of evidence, and what was pretty much what started the whole craze, were the supposed text excerpts from the mahabharat down below:
"Gurkha, flying a swift and powerful vimana,
hurled a single projectile
charged with all the power of the Universe.
An incandescent column of smoke and flame,
as bright as ten thousand suns,
rose in all its splendor.
It was an unknown weapon,
and iron thunderbolt,
a gigantic messenger of death,
which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and
Andhakas.
The corpses were so burned
as to be unrecognizable.
Their hair and nails fell out.
Pottery broke without any apparent cause,
and the birds turned white.
…After a few hours, all foodstuffs were infected…
…to escape from this fire,
the soldiers threw themselves in streams
to wash themselves and all their equipment."
"It was as if the elements had been unleashed. The sun spun
round. Scorched by the incandescent heat of the weapon, the
world reeled in fever. Elephants were set on fire by the heat and
ran to and fro in a frenzy to seek protection from the terrible
violence. The water boiled, the animals died, the enemy was
mown down and the raging of the blaze made the trees collapse
in rows as in a forest fire. The elephants made a fearful
trumpeting and sank dead to the ground over a vast area.
Horses and war chariots were burnt up and the scene looked
like the aftermath of a conflagration. Thousands of chariots
were destroyed, then deep silence descended on the sea. The
winds began to blow and the earth grew bright. It was a terrible
sight to see. The corpses of the fallen were mutilated by the
terrible heat so that they no longer looked like human beings.
Never before have we seen such a ghastly weapon and never
before have we heard of such a weapon. (59-60)
"
"anor aniyan mahato mahiyan
atmasya jantor nihito guhayam
tam akratuh pasyati vita-soko
dhatuh prasadan mahimanam atmanah
(Katha 1.2.20)"
Translated to English this means that the greatest of the great is hidden in the smallest of the small. This forms the basis for the atomic energy.
Around the middle of the 20th century, some Westerners came across the 2nd excerpt from above, and after the invention of nuclear warfare, it clicked to them that this passage seemed to remind them of something familiar... (uhh nukes lao)
Some of these Westerner's include:
Erich Von Daniken - A Swiss hotelier. If you ever heard of Ancient Astronaut theory, you can thank this guy. He managed to successfully psy op generations of gullible r-slurs into thinking that aliens nuked Sodom and Gomorrah lao). Recurring character in Ancient Aliens from the Herstory channel
David Hatcher Childress - main promoter of the nukes in Mahabharat theory. "Lost science" scholar, recurring character in Ancient Aliens from the Herstory channel. Time travel, tesla death ray, Atlantis, and antigrav truther.
Author's note - im crying bruh built like a groyper
It should also be noted that the ancient astronaut theory you have all heard about was built on this ancient Endian nuke hypothesis. You can thank Childress and Don Vaniken fooling nearly 10% of Western Youth into unironically thinking Ancient Aliens were real and influenced huwoman herstory
Anyways until literal decades later, there were people out there who literally thought that aliens nuked innocent BIBOC in the sands of India and elsewhere for no reason! And there was NOBODY to contest them!
Until you apply common sense, a little deboonking, and some actual research!
First off! an actual nuclear weapon, which produces a mushroom cloud, vaporizes the area beneath it, and then dissipates, this weapon described above is specifically said to be like a “smokeless fire.” It causes the sky to fill with clouds that rain blood, but instead of vaporizing those it hits, instead, it causes the air to boil, setting alight all around it. In an actual nuclear explosion, the blast force is the force that kills once one passes the hypocenter. And anyone who survived to describe the blast would by definition have been in the region where the blast wave overtook any flame. Outside the small area where the actual explosion occurs, the thermal radiation from a nuclear blast is intense, but brief, lasting perhaps one or two seconds. It can cause severe skin burns (but not light a person aflame). Thermal blasts can ignite highly flammable materials, though these do not include elephants or trees; nor
would it boil the rivers and seas
Regarding the lake, it was have found to have been created by a meteor thousands of years ago... also the ph thing was a myth. Lao
But you still find yourself asking? "Why, why are skeletons the most radioactive on the planet?!" Well the truth is that, they are not. But was this a genuine lie on Childress/ Don Vaniken's part? Well as it turns out, no! not at all!
The claim made by them that the skeletons were radioactive can be traced back to a book by soviet author Alexander Gorbovsky. Now you see Gorbovsky was also, being an innocent r-slur, and got the whole radioactive skeleton thing from a scientific paper made by Russian cosmologists/ herstorians.
The "whole radioactive skeleton" thing/ excerpt from the paper:
"According to recently received data from Mayneord, in the ribs of a man who lived 4000 years ago the radioactivity was approximately 50 times higher than in modern man."
But IT TURNS OUT that said scientists were also being innocent r-slurs, and it turns out that THEY got that claim from the british historian Mayneord.
And as you can tell from how things are turning out in this effortpost, Mayneord is ALSO an innocent r-slur/ victim of proto-dramanautry! Apparently he got that info from unknown sources we cant trace.
"It may be of interest that we have obtained - from the British Museum - the rib of an Egyptian who died almost 4,000 years ago. The total alpha activity is 0.34 micro-micro-c/gramme dried bone. This, the only piece of evidence we have, suggests that the natural alpha activity of human bone 4000 years ago was close to the mean value of our present-day bone specimens."
The above excerpt was taken from somewhere by an anonymous source, twisted to be 50 times the radioactivity value stated in the excerpt, and turned the Egyptian bone into that of an Indian . It was then passed on to Mayneord, who passed it to the soviet scientists, who passed it on to Gorbovsky, who passed it on to Don Vaniken, who passed it on to Childress, who passed it onto the herstory channel, and then to YOU. Bravo to this proto-dramanaut, a hero, legend, and inspiration too all. for baiting entire generations of gullbile westoids, and doing it for no recognition at all.
Author's note - I didnt know much about the skeleton thing and the anonymous troll until I did further research for this effortpost! If I did, I wouldve credited multiple proto-dramanauts in the title
We dont know why the skeletons' death seemed so sudden, as well as the walls being vitrified, but the most believed hypothesis is heat wave.
The Oppenheimer quote was completely fabricated by Childress and Don Vaniken lao. Even then, Oppenheimer was a hippie kook lets be honest
The main and only pieces of evidence left are the mahabharat quotes.
Remember how I said that Childress, Don Vaniken, and all other conspiratards got the base for the whole nuke thing from those excerpts? Well it turns out that if you check the 1.8 million words of the mahabharat, the first two excerpts don't even appear!
The first excerpt was crafted together from different texts in the book(s).
The thousand suns thing was taken from an excerpt about vishnu :
"Gratified with him, the holy one then showed Utanka that
eternal Vaishnava form which Dhananjaya of great intelligence
had seen. Utanka beheld the high-souled Vasudeva of universal
form, endued with mighty-arms. The effulgence of that form
was like that of a blazing fire or a thousand suns. It stood
before him filling all space. It had faces on every side.
Beholding that high and wonderful Vaishnava form of Vishnu,
in fact, seeing the Supreme Lord (in that guise), the Brahmana
Utanka became filled with wonder."
Down below is where the rats and pottery thing comes from:
"Day by day strong winds blew, and many were the evil omens
that arose, awful and foreboding the destruction of the Vrishnis
and the Andhakas. The streets swarmed with rats and mice.
Earthen pots showed cracks or broken from no apparent cause.
At night, the rats and mice ate away the hair and nails of
slumbering men. […] That chastiser of foes commanded the
Vrishnis to make a pilgrimage to some sacred water. The
messengers forthwith proclaimed at the command of Kecava
that the Vrishnis should make a journey to the sea-coast for
bathing in the sacred waters of the ocean."
Regarding the second excerpt, it is simply a fake translation
the true translation says:
"The very elements seemed to be perturbed. The Sun seemed to
turn round. The universe, scorched with heat, seemed to be in
a fever. The elephants and other creatures of the land, scorched
by the energy of that weapon, ran in fright, breathing heavily
and desirous of protection against that terrible force. The very
waters being heated, the creatures residing in that element, O
Bharata, became exceedingly uneasy and seemed to burn.
From all the points of the compass, cardinal and subsidiary,
from the firmament and the very Earth, showers of sharp and
fierce arrows fell and issued, with the impetuosity of Garuda or
the wind. Struck and burnt by those shafts of Açwatthāman
that were all endued with the impetuosity of the thunder, the
hostile warriors fell down like trees burnt down by a raging fire.
Huge elephants, burnt by that weapon, fell down on the Earth
all around, uttering fierce cries loud as those of the clouds.
Other huge elephants, scorched by that fire, ran hither and
thither, and roared aloud in fear, as if in the midst of a forest
conflagration. The steeds, O king, and the cars also, burnt by
the energy of that weapon, looked, O sire, like the tops of trees
burnt in a forest fire. […] Burnt by the energy of
Açwatthāman's weapon, the forms of the slain could not be
distinguished. (Ganguili Vol. 7, 678-679)"
The above excerpt describes not a bomb, but a flaming arrow machine gun-like weapon fired from the heavens.
Now this is where it gets REEL interesting. From what you have read, you would guess that Don Vaniken did the rewriting thing up on purpose. But it turns out, just like the whole soviet radioactive skeleton mentioned above earlier, this fake excerpt thing was the result of innocent r-slurs following the path set out to them by another innocent r-slur,,, or so it seems.
Anyways it turns out that Don Vaniken got the whole nuke excerpts thing from an English translation done by a mysterious "C. Roy" fellow during the 1890s. It turns out that C. Roy actually translated a german translation of an english translation of the sanskrit/ og version of the mahabharat back into english, and then rearranged paragraphs like the above, apparently in error
Now, you ask, why i say "apparently?" Surely Mr Roy couldnt have known about nukes in the 1890s, and then decide to devote effort to making it seem like ancient nuclear warfare occured in his life's work to troll gullible westerners?
Its because this Don Vanikens work was not the first time someone has been fooled into thinking a massive man made explosion occured in the Mahabharat. After his translation was published, it turns out that many western conspirtards were fooled into thinking not a nuke was detonated there, but a rather massive gunpowder explosion.
We don't know if C Roy did this on purpose, or if he was just being an innocent r-slur.
But we do know for certain that this proto-dramanaut managed to help fool millions of goyim half a world away that aliens really nuked ancient Indian cities for the lulz, and convince a tenth of Western young adults that Ancient Aliens changed their ancestors diapers or summ
Also shout out to that anonymous dramanaut for the radioactive skeleton stuff. This most likely wouldn't have happened if not for you!
The moral of the story is that conspiratards are dumb and the guberment should shoot them on sight. Updoot this post if you agree!
