Woman Asks Internet To Help Find Her "Ghosting" Husband, Then This Happens https://ift.tt/mLS7bOc A woman from Massachusetts, United States, whose reality celebrity chef husband is said to have abandoned her and their two children was able to track him down by the "power of Facebook." The man, Charles Withers, had moved to Texas, where he had been using dating apps to connect with other women, while she stayed at home with the kids, as per a report in New York Post. The incident came to light after an internet user took to X to share Ashley McGuire's Facebook post where she asked people to locate her husband who had been missing for a year. She wrote in a popular Facebook group 'Are We Dating the Same Guy' and said, "This is my husband, Charles Withers. He loves to be the center of attention but I'm not sure how much he's going to like this. Last year, when I was pregnant with our youngest baby, he decided being a husband and a dad wasn't the lifestyle he wanted anymore and he ghosted, like gone without a trace." This is absolutely INSANE??????!!! pic.twitter.com/pQJXw6oxAd — kay? (@OKAYYYWOWWW) April 7, 2024 She added, "He has one baby he hasn't seen in over a year, and one he's never met. He's moved somewhere out of state and changed his phone number." She shared her intentions of divorcing him and said that she wanted to "close this chapter". The mother of two added, "Divorcing someone who's completely unreachable is really tough and drawn out, so I'm trying to track him down to get his signature on a few papers so I can finally close this chapter and move on with my life" Sharing further details, she said that her husband uses the name "Charlie" now. "He's British and charming AF. He's a chef and probably working in the hospitality industry somewhere. He's probably never mentioned having a wife or kids back in Massachusetts. If you know him, if you're working with him, if you're dating him or friends with him, can you please have him get in touch with me or let me know where I can find him," she continued. Within 24 hours of the post, many women claimed that they had matched with the man. Several others said that he had given out his Texas address to them so they could meet. Ms McGuire then took to the social media platform and posted an update. She said that she got "more than enough" information to locate her chef husband. "Single moms are a special breed, and I know a lot of you have gone through the same situation I have. Please know I truly do not wish him any type of ill will. I sincerely appreciate all of your support, but please do not make threats, spread hate, or try to go out and locate him," she said. The update we all wanted to see!!! The girls really did it!!

Gudi Padwa 2024: Why Is The Festival Celebrated? Know History, Significance https://ift.tt/jYDdMZ9 Gudi Padwa is a springtime celebration marking the start of the new year for the Marathi and Konkani Hindus. According to the Hindu calendar, Gudi Padwa is observed on the first day of the Chaitra month, which indicates the arrival of the spring while, also, marking the start of a new year for Maharashtrians and Konkani Hindus. This year, the festival of Gudi Padwa is being celebrated on April 9, 2024. According to Drikpanchang, the Pratipada Tithi will begin at 11:50 pm on April 8 and conclude at 08:30 pm on April 9, 2024. The festival also coincides with the Ugadi celebration in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Ugadi, like Gudi Padwa, celebrates the beginning of spring and the reaping of rabi crops. Gudi Padwa: Significance and History The word Gudi Padwa is a combination of two words. Gudi indicates the flag while Padwa comes from the Sanskrit word pratipada, which refers to the first day of a lunar fortnight. According to belief, it's the day when Lord Brahma created the universe. However, there's another legend according to which this day is celebrated to commemorate the coronation of Lord Ram after he returned to Ayodhya along with his wife Sita and brother Laxman after 14 years of exile. This occasion signifies his victory against Ravana, the symbol of which is the traditional Gudi hoisted outside the house during the puja. Gudi Padwa Celebrations The day begins with a ritualistic bath, followed by prayers. People wake up early in the morning, clean and decorate their houses, wear new clothes and also put special gudi flags on their gates. It is believed that this flag signifies prosperity and victory of good over evil. People make Gudi flags using a colourful silk scarf that is tied to a bamboo stick with neem leaves and mango flowers on the top end, as well as Saakhar gaathi (sugar candy garland). Victory is symbolised by the Kalash on the bamboo stick in an inverted way. After the pooja, the Gudi is hoisted outside the house. Traditionally, people prepare various dishes using bitter neem leaves and sweet jaggery. https://ift.tt/FWLUqg4 April 09, 2024 at 09:30AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

"Beautiful Meal": Woman Mistakes Shower Gel For Olive Oil While Cooking https://ift.tt/MDfASP6 In a shocking instance, a woman was devastated after discovering that she had used shower gel to make dinner instead of "pure Greek olive" oil, as per a report in Newsweek. A video of the same is going viral on TikTok and has amassed over 5.7 million views. A message across the video reads, "You'll never actually believe what my mom actually did to dinner." The woman, Kameron Jane, said, "Look at what my poor mother did. She just cooked this beautiful meal... Tuscan chicken... in this amazing sauce" made with "this pure Greek olive oil that she had ordered online." The chicken meal is shown on camera, followed by a hand holding a bottle labelled "Pure Greek Olive." "This delicious meal that she spent forever on... only after she finished, did we discover that it's shower gel," the woman says as the camera pans back to the kitchen counter. The label on the bottle, which reads "shower gel olive blossom," is seen up close by the camera. According to the label, the shower gel is made by Korres, a Greek skincare and beauty company recognised for using natural components in its products, including olive oil. "She just had to leave the room because she's so angry," the woman added while controlling her laughter, as per the outlet. Ms Jane then instantly spat out her mother's "beautiful" meal after tasting. She said, "The chicken tastes like straight up soap." Later, the daughter asked the mother how she felt. She responded by saying that she "physically wants to hurt someone or hit something really hard." Many people on the video-sharing application were surprised to find about the same while others sympathised with the mother. The mother took to the comments section and wrote, "Mom here and I have so many explanations of how this happened but still a tad frustrated at the moment! Not gonna lie! That's what lack of sleep and too much multi-tasking can lead to!" "I would cry. I would literally cry. Poor mom," wrote another. "I'm Italian and I didn't even read what was on the bottle but when I saw it I screamed in disgust...the chicken looked good tho," added a person. "That does NOT look like olive oil have you people seen olive oil bottles," commented another. "The dish looked amazing. Sorry for ya loss. Mistakes happen," said a user. https://ift.tt/12dNbcR April 07, 2024 at 02:55PM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

Man Buys School Bag For Struggling Uber Driver's Daughter, Internet Reacts https://ift.tt/Iik3SPv Kiran Verma, founder of Simply Blood, recently shared a heartwarming incident that restored people's belief in kindness and humanity. Mr Verma shared his encounter with an Uber driver. He said that the driver was receiving calls from home, however, he was repeatedly ignoring them. "I booked an Uber cab today, the driver picked me and he started the ride. During the ride, he got calls and he disconnected 2-3 times. After that I insisted him to pick up the call. He did and the sound from the other side was quite audible to me. It was his daughter and she was asking for a school bag. The driver repeatedly tried to ignore first but later he asked his daughter to handover the phone to his wife. He said 'I am trying to save little money but can't afford to buy a new bag atleast in next 2-3 days as I recently bought books for our daughter and need to pay monthly bills'," Mr Verma wrote in the caption. Hearing this, Mr Verma understood the man's hardship as a father and decided to surprise him. He changed his drop location and upon reaching the destination, he asked the driver to come with him. He bought the driver a school bag for his daughter from a store and said that he made the payment through his wife's account. "I changed the drop location while he was on call with his wife and as soon as we arrived I asked the driver to come with me. The thing I was going to buy is quite heavy. The driver (a humble man) came with me without asking me anything. I took him to a bag store and bought one school bag. I made the payment from my wife's account as I didn't have enough in my account," he said on Facebook. Mr Verma said that the driver was "speechless" and thanked him. The driver asked for his number and later he sent him "a picture of his daughter smiling like an angel." The founder of Simply Blood added, "This one picture was more valuable than any money could buy." Concluding the post, he said, "We often come across bad drivers using services like #Ola or #Uber but sometimes we meet Superheroes also known as Fathers. I don't have words, how rich I feel after this. But gratitude to each and every father who never let their kids down. Even in the worst situation they are going through. I am sure my wife won't get angry on me for spending from her money. Just be kind and help anyone in need, the world would look beautiful." Since being shared, the post has amassed over two lakh reactions on Facebook. "They say money can't buy happiness But see you bought happiness for that little angel .. God bless," said a user. "Thanks for sharing this lovely incident. Few days back I also heard one of my society maids talking to my neighbour aunty that her daughter is demanding home made pizza in evening as it was her birthday but she couldn't get all ingredients as cheese is costly. I bought all items and called her an hour later to give her everything to make pizza for her little birthday girl that evening and she was happy more than anything.

Man Buys School Bag For Struggling Uber Driver's Daughter, Internet Reacts https://ift.tt/Iik3SPv

Kiran Verma, founder of Simply Blood, recently shared a heartwarming incident that restored people's belief in kindness and humanity. Mr Verma shared his encounter with an Uber driver. He said that the driver was receiving calls from home, however, he was repeatedly ignoring them. 

"I booked an Uber cab today, the driver picked me and he started the ride. During the ride, he got calls and he disconnected 2-3 times. After that I insisted him to pick up the call. He did and the sound from the other side was quite audible to me. It was his daughter and she was asking for a school bag. The driver repeatedly tried to ignore first but later he asked his daughter to handover the phone to his wife. He said 'I am trying to save little money but can't afford to buy a new bag atleast in next 2-3 days as I recently bought books for our daughter and need to pay monthly bills'," Mr Verma wrote in the caption.

Hearing this, Mr Verma understood the man's hardship as a father and decided to surprise him. He changed his drop location and upon reaching the destination, he asked the driver to come with him. He bought the driver a school bag for his daughter from a store and said that he made the payment through his wife's account. "I changed the drop location while he was on call with his wife and as soon as we arrived I asked the driver to come with me. The thing I was going to buy is quite heavy. The driver (a humble man) came with me without asking me anything. I took him to a bag store and bought one school bag. I made the payment from my wife's account as I didn't have enough in my account," he said on Facebook.

Mr Verma said that the driver was "speechless" and thanked him. The driver asked for his number and later he sent him "a picture of his daughter smiling like an angel." The founder of Simply Blood added, "This one picture was more valuable than any money could buy."

Concluding the post, he said, "We often come across bad drivers using services like #Ola or #Uber but sometimes we meet Superheroes also known as Fathers. I don't have words, how rich I feel after this. But gratitude to each and every father who never let their kids down. Even in the worst situation they are going through. I am sure my wife won't get angry on me for spending from her money. Just be kind and help anyone in need, the world would look beautiful."

Since being shared, the post has amassed over two lakh reactions on Facebook.

"They say money can't buy happiness But see you bought happiness for that little angel .. God bless," said a user.

"Thanks for sharing this lovely incident. Few days back I also heard one of my society maids talking to my neighbour aunty that her daughter is demanding home made pizza in evening as it was her birthday but she couldn't get all ingredients as cheese is costly. I bought all items and called her an hour later to give her everything to make pizza for her little birthday girl that evening and she was happy more than anything. M glad that we could help such people and make others happy if we can. We should help like this more often," wrote a person.

A person wrote, "Good on you Kiran. Not just for doing what you've done, but also posting about the same, so that the message reaches out to all, and hopefully even inspire some to emulate & do their bits too. Really made my day!"

"You know what! Your action will inspire more people to be a real human," said another person.

Bureaucrat Sheds Light On "Real Situation" Of Placements In IITs. See Post https://ift.tt/A7vy2Wx A lot of students aspire to join prestigious institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) with the hope of securing good placements. However, the ground reality of employment opportunities at such institutions often remains veiled. Recently, Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Gaurav Garg took to X (formerly Twitter) to share four significant points about placements in IITs. "More often than not, we hear about students at #IITs getting #salary in Crores. What is the real situation of placement at #IIT?" Mr Garg wrote. In his post, the IFS officer highlighted the wide spectrum of salary packages received by fresh graduates from IITs, ranging from Rs 6 lakh to Rs 35 lakh. Notably, graduates from Computer Science (CSE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) tend to command higher packages. 1. Fresh #IITians get a salary of around Rs 6 lakh to Rs 35 lakh . With higher packages offered to CSE, ECE graduates invariably. — Gaurav Garg, IFS (@IFS_GauravGarg) March 30, 2024 Mr Garg also pointed out that a significant portion of high-paying job offers, often in the crore range, primarily come from companies based in the US, Singapore and other foreign countries. These offers, predominantly in coding domains, come from tech giants like Google, Facebook and X. Then, Mr Gard said, "The salary packages include the ESOPs (Employee Stock Ownership Plans), leave encashment, staggered payments in 4-5 years etc. Sometimes, the in-hand salary is only 40-50% of #CTC (Cost to Company) quoted". In the end, he added, "Average salary package offered (except computer science) is 10-12 Lacs per annum with core branches like mechanical, civil engineering getting placed on the lower side".

Video: March Of Greece's Presidential Guards Goes Viral https://ift.tt/jf8xGXH An old YouTube video featuring Greece's elite guards, the Evzones, is experiencing a resurgence in popularity across social media. The video, now boasting over 178,000 views on YouTube alone, showcases the Evzones' unique marching style in slow motion. Their high kicks and precise movements, nicknamed "mid-air foot ballet" by some viewers, are certainly eye-catching. But the spectacle doesn't stop there. The Evzones' traditional attire, including a white skirt with 400 symbolic folds representing the 400 years of Ottoman rule and their hefty pom-pommed shoes weighing over 3 kilogrammes, adds another layer of charm. The video has sparked amusement and curiosity online, with many commenting on the guards' quirky movements. However, the elaborate march has a deeper meaning. The Evzones, stationed at the Greek Parliament, stand guard for one-hour shifts, three times within 48 hours. Watch the video here: Their synchronized movements and the clinking sound from the 60 nails on their shoes, called Tsarouchia, are said to mimic the sounds of horses. Legend has it that a homesick King Otto, who missed the sounds of his native Bavaria, had his guards imitate the clatter of horseshoes to comfort him. Whether it's the historical significance of the uniform or the intriguing marching style, the Evzones have captured the internet's attention, proving that even a changing of the guard ceremony can become a viral sensation. Who are the Evzones? The Evzones are elite soldiers in Greece with a rich history. Originally, they were light infantry and mountain units within the Greek Army. Today, the term refers specifically to the members of the Presidential Guard, a ceremonial unit stationed at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Athens' Syntagma Square, in front of the Hellenic Parliament. Though their duties are primarily ceremonial, these Evzones are all volunteers meticulously chosen from the Hellenic Army's Infantry Corps. Interestingly, potential Evzones are identified as early as basic training, with a minimum height requirement of a staggering 1.95 meters (6' 5"). The Evzones are instantly recognizable by their unique uniform, which traces its roots back to the clothing worn by klephts, Greek resistance fighters who battled Ottoman occupation. The most prominent feature of this uniform is the fustanella, a garment resembling a kilt. This distinctive attire has made the Evzones a popular image of the Greek soldier, particularly among international audiences. https://ift.tt/PibrFvj April 05, 2024 at 07:56AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

"No Stop For ATM": Chennai Auto Driver's Rules Go Viral, Internet Reacts https://ift.tt/ONaW0w8 The Unified Payments Interface (UPI), used for immediate money transfers through mobile devices, has become the fastest-growing payment mode in the country. Since its launch, the volume of digital transactions in India has increased exponentially. Many people don't carry cash and rely on digital payments. Even though many have adopted the facility, several auto drivers and vendors have not started using it. This was recently shared by a woman who was travelling in Chennai. She shared a picture of the rules of the auto driver and they have instantly become viral on social media.

Crookie: The French Pastry Craze That Took Over TikTok https://ift.tt/MdkgGNQ A bemused Paris bakery owner has been besieged by smartphone-wielding youngsters over the past year, keen to snap themselves with the latest pastry craze: the crookie. A croissant filled with cookie dough might sound like a fistful of heart attack, but everyone knows it's going to be tasty, even when all they've seen is a viral TikTok video. The crookie was invented by Parisian pastry chef Stephane Louvard in 2022. It was "just something for regulars", he said, until a video by Instagram account "The Ultimate Guide", which specialises in Paris restaurants, drove sales up to 150-200 per day. Then in early 2023, TikTok influencer Johan Papz filmed himself taking a satisfying bite into one of Louvard's crookies, and things went crazy. "We had hundreds of people coming, most of them young women between 18- and 25-years-old, smartphones in hand to take photos with them," Louvard told AFP in his kitchen as workers rushed to spread cookie dough into croissants. In the weeks that followed, the queue never seemed to diminish in front of the bakery. Production is now between 1,000 and 1,600 crookies per day and Louvard has had to hire two extra workers. He is pleased, but somewhat bemused, over the craze. "I mean, it's a bit insane," he said. "At some point you have to stop. It's just some cookie in a croissant, it's not some revolutionary invention." Thanks to TikTok, Maison Louvard now has imitators around the world, with crookies spotted in Brussels, New York, Tel Aviv and Singapore. Louvard has no interest in filing a patent, however. "What for? To find myself in court with half the planet?" he said. It is not the first pastry craze to tickle the world's taste buds. In 2013, New Yorkers slept on the pavement outside Dominique Ansel's bakery after he invented the cronut -- half-croissant, half-donut. In 2022, the New York Roll, a mixture of croissant and bombolone (an Italian pastry) turned into a frenzy, with videos featuring the cake accumulating hundreds of millions of views on TikTok, driving a hunt for more baked crazes.

Man Was Stopped For US Visa Interview Over Smart Ring, This Happened Next https://ift.tt/QTWurfK An X user who was stopped for a US visa interview over a smart ring recently shared how he did something that his grandfather did with his gold during the India-Pakistan partition. "I did what my grandfather did with his gold while leaving Pakistan," Deepak Abbot, the co-founder of Indiagold, said after he went with his sleep-tracking ring for a US visa interview. In his post, Mr Abbot joked about the situation saying that the only difference between him and his grandfather was that "he took his ring back". He also advised his followers not to carry any electronics to a US visa interview. Sharing about the incident, Mr Abbot wrote, "I had my US visa appointment yday at the consulate. I didn't carry my phone and bag as it isn't allowed inside. I forgot that I was wearing @UltrahumanHQ ring and they refused to let me in. I came out and realized there is no one I could hand that over. Confused what to do next". "I did what my grandfather did with his gold while leaving Pakistan - I went little further, dug a hole, kept my ring inside and kept a stone on top of it. Only difference - I went back and took it back. Lesson: Do not carry any electronics to US visa interview," he added.

Gujarat Man Went To Drop Wife At Station, Got Locked In Moving Train https://ift.tt/4toSILQ A Gujarati man's act of helping his wife board the Vande Bharat Express turned into a surprising adventure. He simply wanted to assist with her luggage, but the automatic doors shut unexpectedly, leaving him trapped on the moving train! In a post on X, his daughter, Kosha, shared this story of her parents' unplanned "premium journey" on April 2. Kosha even included a funny detail in her post - a screenshot of their WhatsApp chat where her dad sent a selfie of him and his wife together on the train! Her father captioned the picture in Gujarati, "Experiencing both Vande Bharat and Shatabdi in a single day" labelling it a 'premium journey'" Kosha explained how her mom was embarking on her first-ever Vande Bharat trip from Vadodara to Mumbai on Tuesday. To ensure her comfort, Kosha's father took charge of her two large bags, carefully stowing them near their seats. As Kosha's parents were boarding, the automatic door of the train began beeping. Before her father could react, he found himself trapped inside as the train commenced its journey. When he approached the ticket collector to stop the train, he was informed that it was already too late, and the train had picked up speed. As a result, both of Kosha's parents found themselves on an unplanned journey together. While the father travelled to the next station, Surat, his wife continued to Mumbai, leaving their car parked miles away at the Vadodara railway station.

Woman Gets Pain Relief Prescription From Bumble Match. See Post https://ift.tt/IGBhvXe Finding love in the digital age can be a challenge. Dating apps expose us to a wider range of people, but with so many options, true connections feel harder to find. However, there's always hope! A woman recently shared a heartwarming story on X (formerly Twitter) about her positive experience on dating app Bumble. It all started with a match with an orthopaedic specialist. When she mentioned suffering from shoulder and neck pain, he didn't stop at just prescribing medication. This kind-hearted doctor went the extra mile, offering valuable advice to help her prevent future discomfort. The prescription says "Take tab Mobizox 1-0-0 x 7 days (after food). Tab Pan-40 mg 1-0-0 x 7 days (before food)." Additionally, he recommended "Ointment Flexabenz" for her, telling her to apply it in a single layer rather than rubbing it in. "Apply hot packs too. Maintain posture care," he further said. Sharing the screenshot from a chat with the orthopaedic specialist, Saniya Dhawan on X wrote, "Matched with an Ortho doctor on Bumble and randomly told him that I am experiencing neck and shoulder pain. He asked me some questions around it and then wrote me a prescription, this is so sweet."

Bhopal Marriage Bureau Claims One-Call Matchmaking, Raising Eyebrows https://ift.tt/2CDHQky Marriage bureaus in India act as matchmakers, introducing compatible individuals seeking marriage. Common across the country, they cater to families who prefer a more traditional route. Bureaus understand cultural preferences and family backgrounds, filtering matches based on religion, caste, education, and profession. This personalised approach and focus on compatibility make them popular, especially for those seeking arranged marriages or recommendations within their community. This whole process takes some time to produce a result, but a Bhopal-based marriage bureau, Hamsathi Samaj Kalyan Samiti, has gone viral for its advertisement promising to find life partners in just one phone call. The ad, placed in a newspaper's matrimonial section, has sparked discussions online, with some users expressing skepticism and others intrigued.

"Fine Her In Lakhs": Woman Makes Reel On Airport Baggage Carousel https://ift.tt/JT2XxjB The relentless pursuit of viral fame on social media has created a new wave of disruption in India, with public spaces becoming battlegrounds for content creation. Gone are the days of peaceful commutes or quiet moments in public areas. Influencers and aspiring creators are wielding their smartphones like weapons, filming content with reckless abandon, oblivious to the inconvenience they cause to those around them. This phenomenon isn't confined to a particular platform or location. Whether you're crammed into a crowded metro train, jostling for space on a local bus, or simply trying to navigate a bustling street, you're likely to encounter someone holding up the flow of movement in the name of a viral reel. Schools, colleges, and even offices haven't been spared from this intrusion. The pervasive "reel-mania" has transformed these everyday spaces into a never-ending stage for cringe-inducing content, leaving ordinary people to bear the brunt of the disruption. A recent video depicting a woman reclining atop a baggage carousel at an airport has shed light on the issue of obstruction caused by content creation. The video was shared by a user named desimojito on X with a caption that reads, "The virus has reached the airports too." The video has gone viral and has gotten more than 2 million views. Many people criticised the woman for doing such a bizarre act at the airport. The virus has reached the airports too ?? pic.twitter.com/RdFReWtWjH — desi mojito ??
