Man Orders Kurta From Blinkit For Office Diwali, CEO Reacts https://ift.tt/HvpdXrq A social media user's post about ordering a traditional Indian outfit for his German colleague from the quick-commerce platform Blinkit has gone viral online. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), user Debarun Talukdar shared that his colleague from Germany visited their India office during the festive season and was surprised to see everyone dressed in traditional Indian attire. The German employee had not realised that he was in the office for the annual Diwali puja, which is why the company's Indian employees ordered a kurta for their German colleague from Blinkit. "My colleague from Germany visited the India office today and was surprised to see everyone wearing traditionals (We had our Diwali Puja in office today). Everyone wanted him to wear Kurta Pajama and to my surprise @letsblinkit was delivering in less than 10 mins!!! Amazing!" tweeted Mr Talukdar. He also shared a picture of his German colleague dressed in the kurta pyjama he ordered from Manyavar via Blinkit. Mr Talukdar's post not only caught the attention of social media users but also Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa. Responding to the now-viral post, Mr Dhindsa said, "Glad we could help". He also wrote that Blinkit had begun listing Manyavar outfits on its app only a couple of days ago. "No reason now to not wear a kurta for office Diwali parties," the CEO of Blinkit joked.

Fried Rice Syndrome Trends On Social Media. Here's Everything About It https://ift.tt/GbpCIUq Dietitians and food experts caution against leaving foods, particularly dry items like pasta and rice, unattended at room-temperature due to the risk of "fried rice syndrome," a form of food poisoning caused by the bacteria Bacillus cereus. This organism can proliferate in food left unrefrigerated for extended periods. The resurgence of discussions surrounding fried rice syndrome on social media is prompted by the renewed attention to a 2008 case involving the tragic death of a 20-year-old Belgian student. The incident was attributed to a toxin produced by Bacillus cereus and has once again surfaced on the internet. According to a case report published by the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, the student consumed reheated spaghetti that had been left unrefrigerated for five days. Despite warming the food in the microwave before consumption, he succumbed overnight to symptoms including headaches, nausea, and abdominal pain. Although it's been nearly 15 years since the incident occurred, recent social media posts have brought "fried rice syndrome" back into the internet's consciousness. What is 'fried rice syndrome'? According to The Conversation, Bacillus cereus are common bacteria found all over the environment. They begin to cause problems if they get into certain foods that are cooked and not refrigerated promptly. Starchy foods like rice and pasta are often the culprits, but Bacillus cereus can also affect other cooked foods, like vegetables and meat. Certain bacteria can produce toxins that grow when food is left at room temperature. Bacillus cereus produce spores that are resistant to heating, so even if leftovers are heated to a high temperature, the spores may survive. These spores can then produce toxins that make us sick. What are the symptoms? Bacillus cereus is a bacteria that can cause food poisoning. There are two types of Bacillus cereus infections: one that causes diarrhea and one that causes vomiting. Symptoms usually resolve within a few days, but people with weakened immune systems may need medical attention. Because the symptoms are similar to those of other gastrointestinal illnesses, it is difficult to know how often Bacillus cereus occurs. What measures can people take to safeguard themselves? To prevent food poisoning, first of all, try not to eat leftover food. If that is not possible, then minimize the time they spend in the danger zone (above fridge temperature and below 60°C). Refrigerate leftovers promptly after cooking, and break large batches into smaller portions to help the food cool quickly. Avoid taking leftovers out of the fridge repeatedly. https://ift.tt/5aHUlTu November 10, 2023 at 08:22AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

"Monster" 17-Foot Burmese Python Captured In Florida. See Pics https://ift.tt/QkbEI8c A giant Burmese python was recently found by captors in Florida, United States. The enormous reptile, weighing close to 90 kilograms, was discovered by conservationist Mike Elfenbein and his son Cole, 17, while the two were hunting for pythons at Big Cypress National Preserve on Friday. Once they spotted the monstrous snake, fellow hunters Trey Barber, Carter Gavlock and Holden Hunter also joined the two to catch it, as per CBS News. "Officially 17'2" & 198 Pounds. This snake ate a lot of native wildlife to get this big. She ate her last meal! It took five of us to control her, glad to have removed her from our Everglades where she can no longer eat our wildlife," Mr Elfenbein wrote while sharing a series of images of the snake on Instagram. Take a look below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mike Elfenbein (@mike_2lf) Speaking to CBS News, Mr Elfenbein described the snake as a "monster" following the discovery. "It was more than a snake," he said. According to Mr Elfenbein, Mr Gavlock was the first to grab the snake by the tail. Then his 17-year-old son Cole and Mr Gavlock grabbed the head, and all five men tried to wrestle the python to the ground. Mr Elfenbein said the python quickly went from "flight to fight" and was a "formidable opponent". The five men then sat on the python's back and wrestled with it for more than 45 minutes. The python, on the other hand, kept lifting its body off the ground "trying to constrict" its captors and continue to move the group out of the way. The python had "zero fear" of her captors, Mr Elfenbein told the outlet. Also Read | A Waitress' Life Turned Into A Nightmare After $10 Million Lottery Win.

"If Mike is calling me right now, it has to be a python," Ms Siewe, who has professionally captured 530 pythons since 2019, said, adding that she then drove up to the preserve and saw "the fattest python I had ever seen". "It was hard to comprehend the size," she added. According to People, the python was put down with a captive bolt gun - an approved euthanasia device - by Mr Siewe and then transported to the Conservancy of Southwest Florida where its measurements were taken. Meanwhile, on Instagram, Mr Elfenbein's post has accumulated hundreds of likes and comments. "What a beautiful snake," wrote one user. "Thank goodness none of you were hurt or bitten during your attempt to capture her!" said another. "What a beast!!!!" commented a third user. "Holy moly that's a big one," added another. https://ift.tt/R8yOBcl November 09, 2023 at 11:27PM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com
