Mission success: ISRO's GSLV-F18 places NVS-03 navigation satellite in orbit

ISRO's GSLV-F18 rocket lifted off from Sriharikota at 11:51 PM IST on Friday and placed the NVS-03 navigation satellite into its intended geosynchronous transfer orbit, the agency confirmed just after midnight. The 20th flight of the GSLV strengthens NavIC, India's homegrown satellite navigation system, and carries an important first: the satellite's pyro valves flew already open, a design fix meant to prevent a repeat of the NVS-02 failure that stranded its predecessor in 2025.

Ramayana: Part 1 gets U certificate with no cuts as Diwali box-office race heats up

Ramayana: Part 1 has received a U certificate from the CBFC with no cuts, clearing the way for its 5 November release. The Nitesh Tiwari-directed epic, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, is the season's biggest Indian bet — reportedly India's costliest film at around Rs 835 crore for Part 1 alone, with DNEG handling the visuals. It opens the festival box-office season that runs to Christmas, when Shah Rukh Khan's King arrives on 24 December, a week after Hollywood's December giants split the premium screens.

A shadier Hyderabad is a cooler Hyderabad

Every summer the city feels a little hotter, and every summer we are surprised by it. The old neighbourhoods knew the answer: a neem outside every gate, a peepal at every corner, shade you could walk under from one street to the next.

Trees are the cheapest air-conditioners a city can buy, and they ask for nothing but water and time. Before the next heatwave arrives, the kindest civic act is also the simplest — plant one, and make sure it lives.
