BJP MP Sambit Patra cited reports of the Prime Ministers' Museum and Library's (PMML) deliberations on the issue to note that Nehru's correspondence with Edwina Mountbatten, wife of the last British viceroy to India, and eminent leaders Jayaprakash Narayan and Jagjivan Ram lay with the erstwhile Nehru Museum and Library Society, which returned them to Sonia Gandhi in 2008.

Prince Andrew won't join royals for Christmas dinner, following the Chinese spy scandal. It is understood that Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson will not be dining with the rest of the Royal Family on Christmas dinner, as quoted in a report by Metro. Since his connections to a suspected Chinese spy were first made public, the Duke of York has come under increased scrutiny. MI5 banned Yang Tengbo, the suspected spy, from the UK last week because of the possible security risk. Prior to publicly revealing his name in order to refute the accusations made against him, he was subject to an anonymity order known only as H6. According to reports, Prince Andrew has now decided not to celebrate Christmas with the rest of the Royal Family this year. The Duke claimed on Friday that he had ceased all contact with Tengbo after receiving advice from officials and that he had never spoken to him about anything sensitive.

Shuchi Talati's Girls Will Be Girls shook me up. When I got to an unnerving scene of extreme intimidation in Talati's debut feature, I was suddenly not a journalist watching an award-winning film, but a woman who had once been a teenaged girl, minding my own business, walking up a deserted flight of stairs in an unfamiliar school where I was attending an inter-school contest, when two older boys materialised from the opposite direction, crowded me towards the banister, casually groped me, and walked away with grins on their faces without pausing for a moment, as though it was all in a day's work for them. It was neither the first nor the last time I was molested. And I cannot quite tell why this particular scene in this particular film brought up that particular memory. I guess it was because here, too, there was a teenaged girl, there was a school, and there were boys who got away with it.

secondhand. “I love the thrill of finding something unique and special that I can’t get anywhere else,” she says. She looks for vintage glass and kitchenware, Christmas cards and puzzles — all things unavailable in conventional stores. This Christmas, about half of the gifts she’s purchased so far have come from thrift stores run by UK charities. The trend is catching on across the globe. Gifting secondhand used to have a bad rap (think last year’s candle or dusty bath set), but it doesn’t carry the taboo it once did. In the UK, some 84% of people say they plan to buy at least one pre-owned Christmas gift this year, according to research by the resale app Vinted and the market researcher Retail Economics. In the US, three in four people believe secondhand gifting has become more socially acceptable over the past year, according to a survey by the resale app OfferUp. The British Heart Foundation charity — with 680 secondhand shops in the UK — says demand has surged.

Earth on Friday, the 13th, but not this one. The 2029 Friday 13 is the most concerning of all because there is a slim chance that we will be struck by a massive asteroid that is speeding towards Earth. Today is the day to pay close attention to the gap when boarding the train and to cast ten glances left and right before crossing the street. For what reason? Of course, it's Friday 13, the dreaded day, as quoted in a report by the Daily Star UK. You can avoid disaster on this year's frightfully unlucky day if you take precautions, but in 2029, just over four years from now, you might not be so fortunate because a massive asteroid might be on its way to Earth.
