New York’s Midtown saw something unusual on 24 April 24, a full-blown Indian wedding procession taking over the streets.

Dr. Avish Jain, a medical journalist, and Pankti Doshi, a genetic counsellor, celebrated their wedding with a traditional baraat on Fifth Avenue.

Dhol beats, dancing crowds, and guests in ethnic wear turned a busy NYC street into what looked like a scene straight out of an Indian wedding.

The couple said they had taken prior permission from city authorities, a requirement for any public procession in New York.

What stood out wasn’t just the scale, but how seamlessly a desi celebration unfolded in the middle of Manhattan.

Do you think such large processions should be allowed in busy cities?

A wall covered with mirrors in Mysuru is going viral for an unusual reason.

Officials said earlier signboards and warnings didn’t work.

The idea sparked mixed reactions online. Some called it a smart psychological hack, while others argued the bigger issue is the lack of clean and accessible public toilets.

Do you think solutions like this actually work, or do cities simply need better public sanitation infrastructure?

Their reaction was a mix of shock, happiness, and immediate concern about how expensive it must have been.

The video struck a chord online, especially with people who dream of one day giving back to their parents.
