Watch: Boy Rescues A Crow Stuck In A Net, Moves Internet With His Kindness

Kindness and empathy are the traits that make us truly human and children are the ones who manifest these qualities in the best possible way. One such video has surfaced on Twitter that shows a young school boy rescuing a crow entangled in a net.

The video was shared by a Twitter user Sabita Chanda. It was captioned as, ''A compassionate heart touches countless lives,'' along with a heart and love emoji.

The video shows a boy in a school uniform coming to the rescue of a crow that was stuck in a football net. The boy carefully holds the bird in his hand and untangles the thread stuck around its body. After a few seconds, he is able to release the bird. His happiness knows no bounds as he holds the crow and proudly shows it off to his friends. The free crow then flies away while the boy's friends celebrate the moment. 

Watch the video here:

The video has gone viral, and people were left touched by the heartwarming act and thanked the boy for helping the crow. Users poured heart and love-struck emojis on the video.

One user wrote, ''Kids are by nature caring and compassionate until they meet adults.'' Another commented, ''This kid reminds me of my brother when he was younger. He would rescue pigeons and nurse them back to health. God bless this child.''

A third wrote, ''Wonderful. What a considerate and sensitive kid.'' A fourth said, ''OMG..such a bold child he is. I had tried saving and feeding a few crows but it wasn't as easy and short as this guy did so smoothly without any fear. The way he hold the beak was commendable. Kudos to brave and compassionate hearts like this.''

A fifth added, ''When you have a good heart, kindness becomes a responsibility you take up.'' Yet another added, ''Wonderful. What a considerate and sensitive kid.''

''Marathi Meets Kannada'': Comedian's Hilarious Video On Language Barrier

Comedian Shraddha Jain whose hilarious take on tech sector layoffs went viral on social media has come up with another fun skit. This time, Ms Jain, who is famous as 'Aiyyo Shraddha' on social media shared a video emphasising how Indians always come up with a way to understand each other despite the language barrier. In the hilarious skit, she imagines what would happen when a Kannada-speaking woman would file a complaint at a Mumbai police station.

Sharing the video on Instagram, she wrote, ''Indians will always find a way to understand each other. Always!''

Watch the video here:

The video shows her playing a Kannada woman who complains to a Marathi-speaking cop about her bag being stolen. Meanwhile, the Marathi police officer, also played by her, is not able to understand what she is saying. However, with the help of a few English words and Google translate, the duo finally manage to fathom each other's words. 

The video has gone viral on Instagram, and people were in awe of her talent and comic timing. One user wrote, ''Someone Make a Netflix series on her as the main character..'' Another said, ''Love, love, love it.. and absolutely loved that “ English” was supporting actor and the “Indian languages “ were heroes! all thanks to you.'' 

A third said, ''oh my... wherever did you get such a cute idea.'' A fourth wrote, ''You are absolutely incredible, totally in love with you.'' A fifth added, ''Though I don't understand both languages, it is so mesmerizing to watch you act.''

Yet another wrote, ''Holy moly, there's no one on this planet who could have conceptualized something like this and you've pulled it off with such ease. Your script, acting, language, accents, and expressions are spot on. It's a one-woman show and the execution makes people believe that it is indeed two different characters.''

Last month, she met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and called it ''one of the proud moments of her life.'' Ms Jain said that PM Modi greeted her with "Aiyyo", taking her by surprise. She also recently met UK Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt.

When Abhishek Met Ajith's Wife Shalini And Son At A Chennaiyin FC Match

Actor Ajith's wife Shalini Ajith and their son, were pleasantly surprised after they ran into Abhishek Bachchan at a football match in Chennai. Incidentally, actor Abhishek Bachchan, who is the owner of the co-owner of the football club Chennaiyin FC was present at the stadium when he spotted Shalini and her young son, who had come to watch a match. In the clip shared on Twitter, Abhishek Bachchan can be seen greeting Shalini while patting Aadvik on his head. The little one can be seen wearing the jersey of Chennaiyin FC team.

Social media users were very excited to see this meet-up. Some even said it's a rare video of Shalini making a public appearance.

See the video here.

A few days back, social media users hailed Abhishek Bachchan as the second-best dancer in Bollywood after Madhuri Dixit.

The social media users came up with this hilarious conclusion after a video of Abhishek from his 2012 action-comedy Bol Bachchan surfaced on Twitter. “He's the best dancer after Madhuri Dixit in my book,” tweeted a user sharing the video, which shows Abhishek dancing to the track Maar Daala from Devdas (one of Madhuri Dixit's most-loved performances). It was a reply to a fan's tweet that announced Ranbir Kapoor as the “best dancer after Madhuri Dixit” while sharing a video of his recently released song Show Me The Thumka. Almost a day after the user shared Abhishek's dance sequence from Bol Bachchan, another fan retweeted it and wrote, “No more comparisons now. We got the winner – Abhishek Bachchan.”

Abhishek Bachchan also joined the discussion on Friday. The actor hilariously agreed that he's the “best dancer” after Madhuri Dixit. “Was there ever even a debate on this?” he replied to the fan's tweet and added laughing emojis.

Take a look:

On the work front, Abhishek Bachchan was last seen in Dasvi. The film also starred Yami Gautam and Nimrat Kaur. It was directed by Tushar Jalota. Abhishek Bachchan will be next seen in Ghoomer.

Harry, Meghan Lose Home Gifted By Queen As Wedding Present: Report

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are being evicted from their home on the British royal family's Windsor estate, leaving them without a UK base, reports said on Wednesday.

Frogmore Cottage, which they refurbished at a reported cost of £2.4 million ($2.9 million), had been a wedding present from the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2018.

It has now been offered to Prince Andrew, King Charles III's disgraced brother, reports in the The Sun and Daily Telegraph said.

Harry and Meghan, also known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were reportedly told to vacate the property in January just days after the publication of the prince's tell-all memoir "Spare".

Charles, who has long favoured a slimmed down monarchy, is currently undertaking an overhaul of funding.

A possible axing of Andrew's £250,000-a-year grant could see him forced out of his current residence, the 30-room Royal Lodge, also on the Windsor estate, due to its massive upkeep costs.

Harry and Meghan moved to California in 2020 after dramatically quitting royal life.

Since then, they have taken part in a string of projects -- from an interview with Oprah Winfrey to a Netflix documentary -- airing grievances about their experiences as members of the British royal family.

Harry's autobiography "Spare" smashed sales records when it was published in January, but also saw his popularity ratings slump.

Andrew was forced out of public life over his friendship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Last year Andrew settled a US civil case for sexual assault with accuser Virginia Giuffre.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the reports. A representative for the Sussexes was not immediately available.

"Playing For Country...": Gavaskar Blasts Gill For Calling Physio Mid-Over

Team India had a tough time facing Australia in the first innings of the third Test on Wednesday at the Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. Opted to bat first, the Rohit Sharma-led side was bundled out for 109 after the spin duo of Nathan Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann created a rampage and broke the backbone of the Indian batting line-up. Young batter Shubman Gill, who was benched in the previous two matches, was finally included in the Playing XI after he replaced an out of form KL Rahul. However, an act by Gill on the field left former India batter Sunil Gavaskar fuming. 

During the seventh over of India's innings, Gill ran for a single on Cameroon Green's delivery and took a dive to make it back into the crease in time. The right-handed batter picked up a minor injury as he got a scratch wound below his abdomen. Gill immediately asked for the medical help and the game had to be paused. 

Seeing this, Gavaskar, who was commentating during the match said, "We're seeing a little bit of repair work for Shubman Gill. He had dived to make his crease but I tell you what. This could have waited. This could have waited till the end of the over. There is a fast bowler who is bowling - he has bowled 4 deliveires; it's hot - and you've given him a breather. Yes, you are hurt but wait for 2 more deliveries. Wait for the over to finish and get treated. You're at the non-striker's end, you're not at the striker's end. Simple things can make a difference."

Former Australia batter Matthew Hayden, who was commentating with Gavaskar said, "You're a harsh man, Sunny. That's a real stinger." But, Gavaskar held his ground and remained firm on his words and replied, "Yes, it is but listen you are playing for your country. Just 2 more deliveries. You're at the non-striker's. I can understand if you're taking strike and you've got that discomfort. And he's done that after 2 deliveries."

India were bowled out for 109 by Australia in the post-lunch session on the opening day of the third Test in Indore on Wednesday.

Virat Kohli made 22, while Shubman Gill scored 21.

Left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann (5/16) and Nathan Lyon (3/35) starred with the ball for Australia on a pitch that offered vicious turn.

Watch: Kohli, Rohit's Reaction Goes Viral After Jadeja's Dismissal

The Indian fans were left disappointed after the Rohit Sharma-led side got skittled for 109 on Day 1 of the third Test against Australia in Indore. Opted to bat first, Team India started off on a steady not with skipper Rohit and Shubman Gill stitching a 27-run partnership. However, the visitors then introduced spin into the attack and India lost five wickets for 18 runs. The downfall began with the dismissal of Rohit, which was followed by Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Shreyas Iyer, and Ravindra Jadeja. Spin duo Matthew Kuhnemann and Nathan Lyon were the pick among the bowlers as the duo scalped five and three wickets respectively but the dismissal of Jadeja left everyone heartbroken. 

After being promoted up in the batting order, the star all-rounder failed to leave a mark with the bat as he was removed by Nathan Lyon for just four runs. During the 11th over, Lyon struck Jadeja on the pads and appealed for LBW, to which the on-field umpire signaled out. Jadeja went for a DRS, where the ultra-edge showed a spike as the ball had touched the bat and the all-rounder survived the appeal. The decision gave a sigh of relief to the Indian camp but their happiness was short-lived as on the very next delivery, Jadeja took a shot which went straight into the hands of Kuhnemann and he had to depart.

As Jadeja was walking back to the dugout, the camera captured the disappointed expression of Virat Kohli, who was standing at the non-striker's end. The camera then moved on Rohit, who was left dismayed while sitting in the dugout. 

Australia spinner Matthew Kuhnemann took five wickets and Nathan Lyon three to skittle India for 109 on day one of the third Test in Indore on Wednesday.

Australia, attempting to fight back in the four-match series from two heavy defeats, introduced spin in the sixth over after India won the toss and elected to bat.

India made two changes to the team that won in Delhi with Gill in for Rahul and fast bowler Yadav replacing the rested Mohammed Shami.

Australia, led by Smith in the absence of Pat Cummins, also made two changes.

Starc replaced Cummins while Cameron Green came in for David Warner, who was ruled out of the remaining two matches after suffering a fractured elbow and concussion in the second Test in Delhi.

Titled "24 hours in Doha," this video is a must-watch for everyone who wants to experience pure fun.  Sara even ends the video with another of her poems: “I look messy, as if I don't care. But that's just the bond that Sanky and I share. Thank you for making me resemble a billi at the international airport of New Delhi."
