social media, leaving users stunned and struggling to believe what they were seeing. The incident took place in Pak Tho, Mueang Ratchaburi, where a man named Rayban Naklengboon had purchased the ice cream from a local street vendor. Expecting a sweet treat, he was instead met with a chilling sight—a black-and-yellow snake’s head embedded in the frozen dessert, its lifeless eyes staring back at him. Stunned by what he had just found, Rayban took to Facebook to share photos of the bizarre incident. His post, which referenced a popular black bean-flavored ice cream in Thailand, quickly went viral, sparking a wave of shock and disgust among users. Along with the photos, he wrote that the snake had “big eyes” and asked his followers if it was really dead yet. He also added that it is a real picture, because he bought the ice cream for himself.

I have nothing against people wearing suits and ties. I have nothing against people engaged in self-flagellation either. In fact, in both cases, I admire the effort and skill involved in pulling off something that gives the subject self-worth.

At the weekend Oscars, host Conan O' Brien (in a navy-blue shawl lapel tux) and Adam Sandler in a blue hoodie and basketball shorts mocked White House Armanipulation. The point isn't that Sandler was wearing a $175 neon blue Aviator Nation hoodie over a Hawaiian shirt in a sea of tuxedos and looking like 'a guy playing video poker at 2 am'. It was that O'Brien — who later revealed that the two of them had prepped for the Sandler-conceived gag — was ribbing the 'other ambush' that happened in the White House a few days before.

Neeta’s journey is one of resilience, strength, and unshakable determination. In an interview with the Humans of Bombay, she shard her story. Born into a household that never wanted her, she endured relentless abuse from her mother, while her father, lost in alcoholism, remained indifferent. At just six years old, tragedy struck when her mother died by suicide, and soon after, her father abandoned her. Left with no choice, Neeta’s maternal grandparents took her in, but their care was short-lived. By the age of 14, she was married off to a 22-year-old police officer—an abusive man who mirrored the same darkness she had grown up with. Within two months of marriage, she was pregnant, and with no escape in sight, she surrendered to her fate. Over the years, she had three children and weathered every storm by her husband’s side, especially when financial hardships forced them to move into a slum. It was here that Neeta learned to ride a scooter—an act that would unknowingly set the foundation for her future. But what truly ignited the fire within her was her husband’s scornful words: “You can’t do anything.” Determined to prove him wrong, she took charge of her own destiny. She learned to drive vans and cars and soon turned her newfound skills into a business, ferrying schoolchildren daily.

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has sharply reacted to the manner in which her mother and former Bihar CM Rabri Devi was addressed by Chief Minister and JD(U) president Nitish Kumar a day ago. During a heated debate with women members of the RJD inside the legislative council, the chief minister had pointed towards Rabri Devi, the leader of the opposition, and said in Hindi «her husband installed her when he hit a rough patch».

Kumar's use of the expression «iske husband» was deemed as insulting and while members of her party opposed the same inside the House, Tejashwi Yadav later told reporters, «It shows the pitiable state of mind of the chief minister who is evidently not fit to run the state».

IIT-Kanpur graduates known for sharing their unique travel experiences on social media, recently found themselves in an unusual situation during a road trip from Udaipur to Ahmedabad. With no place to stay for the night, they made a spontaneous decision that left them questioning whether it was sheer recklessness or a stroke of wisdom. On January 10, as they drove from Udaipur to Ahmedabad, the duo realized they had no accommodation arranged. In a moment of spontaneity, they put up an Instagram story asking if anyone would be willing to host them for the night. To their surprise, a complete stranger responded, inviting them to stay over. Taking a leap of faith, they arrived at his home later that night—unaware that this experience would change their perspective on travel.

And the federal government reduced its payrolls by 10,000 in a potential harbinger of the alarm being sounded by the stock market, consumer confidence and other measures of where the economy is headed.
