Indian-origin Microsoft tech expert Aishani B shares her story of becoming a permanent resident of the US after years of trying for an H-1B visa. In a LinkedIn post, Aishani shared how she tried for a work visa every year between 2019 and 2025 and was not selected in the lottery even once.Sharing her feeling of getting rejected again and again, Aishani said that the first rejection was tough while the second one came with rational thoughts but after that, there is nothing new to say. Meanwhile, she moved from the US to Canada in 2022 and returned to the US in 2023 on an L1 visa.“People ask me what it feels like. Honestly? The first rejection stings. The second, you rationalize. By the third, fourth, fifth – you stop telling people. Not because you’re embarrassed. But because there’s nothing new to say. No one tells you about losing over and over again: It’s not a moment of despair. It’s a slow, quiet erosion of certainty.”“Am I good enough to come here? Would anyone else have figured this out by now? How long will I keep trying?” he addedCome 2025, she got it green card Through EB1, which is for individuals with extraordinary abilities. Aishani said that she never thought she would qualify for it, especially after getting rejected seven times but she did.“Because her version of losing lottery after lottery didn’t seem extraordinary. She felt tired. What kept him going? A quiet belief that there was a reason for it. And a stubbornness that refused to find out what it felt like to leave. 7 Didn’t mean defeat. What he meant was: Not like this. If you’re counting your own rejections right now – the numbers aren’t the story. What do you create in between,” Aishani wrote.The tech expert frequently shares comments about immigration on his LinkedIn. In an earlier post he talked about how immigrants are always in the middle. In India, it is they who left; In America, he wrote, they are immigrant engineers and in Canada, they are starting over.

मुजफ्फरनगर के तितावी क्षेत्र के नसीरपुर गांव में आयोजित किया गयाशोक सभा सोमवार को यह भावनाओं और सामाजिक सहभागिता का बड़ा केंद्र बन गया। भारतीय किसान मजदूर संगठन के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष ठाकुर पूरण सिंह के पिता स्वर्गीय ठाकुर सतपाल सिंह की तेरहवीं एवं शोक सभा में विभिन्न संगठनों के पदाधिकारी एवं जन प्रतिनिधियों सहित हजारों ग्रामीण शामिल हुए।

कार्यक्रम में श्रद्धांजलि देने वालों की लंबी कतारें देखी गईं. गांव का माहौल जरूर गमगीन था, लेकिन लोगों की भारी मौजूदगी ने मृतक के प्रति सम्मान और सामाजिक जुड़ाव की मजबूत तस्वीर भी पेश की.

बृजभूषण शरण सिंह ने दी श्रद्धांजलि, परिजनों को सांत्वना दी

इस अवसर पर पूर्व सांसद एवं भारतीय कुश्ती संघ के पूर्व अध्यक्ष मो बृजभूषण शरण सिंह नसीरपुर भी पहुंचे। उन्होंने स्वर्गीय ठाकुर सतपाल सिंह को श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित की और शोक संतप्त परिवार के प्रति अपनी संवेदना व्यक्त की।

उन्होंने परिवार के साथ समय बिताया और उन्हें व्यक्तिगत रूप से सांत्वना देते हुए कहा कि इस कठिन समय में पूरा समाज उनके साथ खड़ा है। उनके आगमन से कार्यक्रम का राजनीतिक एवं सामाजिक दोनों दृष्टियों से विशेष महत्व हो गया।

शोकसभा के बीच उठे सियासी सवाल, मिला शायराना जवाब

शोक सभा के बाद मीडिया से बातचीत के दौरान जब उनसे समाजवादी पार्टी में शामिल होने की अटकलों पर सवाल पूछा गया तो उन्होंने मुस्कुराते हुए बेहद संयमित और शायराना अंदाज में जवाब दिया-
“लोग कुछ तो कहेंगे, लोगों का काम है कहना…”

उनके जवाब से एक पल के लिए माहौल हल्का हो गया, लेकिन संदेश साफ था कि वह इन अटकलों को ज्यादा तवज्जो नहीं देते.

सपा में शामिल होने की अटकलों को किया खारिज

मामले को आगे बढ़ाते हुए बृजभूषण शरण सिंह ने साफ किया कि उन्होंने समाजवादी पार्टी में शामिल होने को लेकर कभी कोई बयान नहीं दिया है. उन्होंने कहा कि वह फिलहाल भारतीय जनता पार्टी से जुड़े हुए हैं और उसी के साथ अपना राजनीतिक सफर जारी रखे हुए हैं.

उन्होंने अपने राजनीतिक सफर का जिक्र करते हुए कहा कि उनका परिवार लंबे समय से बीजेपी से जुड़ा है और यह रिश्ता दशकों पुराना है.

परिवार की राजनीतिक विरासत का जिक्र किया

उन्होंने यह भी खुलासा किया कि उनके परिवार के सदस्य सक्रिय राजनीति में हैं- एक बेटा सांसद है और दूसरा विधायक के रूप में कार्यरत है। वे स्वयं और उनकी पत्नी भी सांसद रह चुके हैं।

इस संदर्भ में उन्होंने संकेत दिया कि उनका राजनीतिक आधार और संबद्धता स्थिर है और फिलहाल इसमें कोई बदलाव नहीं हुआ है.

2027 के विधानसभा चुनाव पर पूरी तरह चुप्पी

जब उनसे आगामी 2027 उत्तर प्रदेश विधानसभा चुनाव के बारे में पूछा गया तो उन्होंने इस पर कोई भी टिप्पणी देने से इनकार कर दिया. उन्होंने कहा कि भविष्य की योजनाओं के बारे में अभी कुछ भी कहना उचित नहीं होगा.

उनकी चुप्पी को राजनीतिक हलकों में अलग-अलग तरह से देखा जा रहा है, लेकिन उन्होंने साफ तौर पर कोई संकेत देने से परहेज किया.

गांव में दिखी सामाजिक एकजुटता की झलक, बड़ी संख्या में पहुंचे लोग

नसीरपुर गांव में आयोजित इस शोक सभा में बड़ी संख्या में लोगों की मौजूदगी ने सामाजिक एकता की मजबूत तस्वीर पेश की. ग्रामीणों, सामाजिक संगठनों और राजनीतिक प्रतिनिधियों की भागीदारी से पता चला कि ऐसे अवसरों का न केवल पारिवारिक, बल्कि सामुदायिक महत्व भी होता है।

कार्यक्रम के दौरान श्रद्धांजलि देने के साथ-साथ लोगों के बीच आपसी संवाद और संवेदनाएं बांटने का माहौल भी बना रहा.

नसीरपुर में आयोजित यह शोक सभा महज एक पारिवारिक कार्यक्रम नहीं था, बल्कि अपनी सामाजिक और राजनीतिक उपस्थिति के कारण व्यापक चर्चा का विषय बन गया. बृजभूषण शरण सिंह के बयान और उनके संयमित रुख ने जहां अटकलों पर विराम लगाने की कोशिश की, वहीं बड़ी संख्या में लोगों की भागीदारी से मृतकों के प्रति सम्मान और समाज की एकजुटता साफ दिखी.

Limited seats give manifold influence to saffron partyThe delimitation proved to be a wild card in Assam’s first assembly election after constituency boundaries were redrawn in 2023, reducing the number of Muslim-majority seats from 35 to 22, leaving the BJP’s two main rivals – Congress and AIUDF – fighting for survival against each other. Although the number of assembly seats remained unchanged at 126, delimitation changed the representation matrix, bringing the number of Muslim MLAs down to 25, while indigenous communities were made the deciding factor on 103 seats, up from 90. CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has always been saying that delimitation will ensure the capture of more than 100 seats by indigenous communities out of the 126 seats at stake. The election results proved to be a bonus for BJP. The Congress improved its position in the shrinking Muslim-majority belt at the expense of perfumer Badruddin Ajmal’s AIUDF.

.

The new electoral geography of the state had thrown the opposition out of balance even before the elections. Many sitting AIUDF MLAs joined NDA constituent AGP to ensure that they do not miss the boat in the race for fewer tickets than ever before. For the BJP, it was a strategic fit, boosting the NDA’s chances in seats where Muslim votes would be decisive. Although the script did not go exactly as planned, AIUDF being reduced to just two seats was exactly what the BJP wanted. The 2023 delimitation exercise not only reduced the weight of constituencies where Muslim voters of Bengali origin had long dominated, but also increased the number of seats reserved for STs from 16 to 19. SC seats increased by one to nine. The reassigned seats included Congress strongholds in Lower, Central and Southern Assam with high concentrations of Muslim voters. Assam’s politics has long been shaped by illegal immigration from Bangladesh.

.

The Assam Accord of 1985, which was born out of a mass movement, fixed March 25, 1971 as the cutoff for citizenship. But even after that, allegations of illegal infiltration continue. The BJP has consistently argued that the state’s political trajectory should be determined by indigenous communities rather than the migrant Muslim population. Voting patterns among minorities in the state were historically associated with the party in government until the BJP formed its first ministry in 2016. This dynamic has changed further after delimitation, with voters in the remaining Muslim-dominated seats supporting the Congress, amid concerns over whether their interests are safe under the BJP.

Louis Sammartino reaction video Why were you impressed? YouTuber Outdoor Boys sparks LosPolosTV copyright fight and online outrage (Image via Getty)

News of another creator clash surfaced on the internet and the matter soon turned serious. On May 4, 2026, reaction creator Louis Sammartino, better known as LosPolosTV, found himself at the center of a growing storm when several of his reaction videos were reportedly hit with a copyright strike. The video contained content that was from Luke Nicholls who operates the Outdoor Boys YouTube channel which specializes in outdoor survival and family exploration content. What made this situation bigger than a typical online dispute was its scale. LosPolosTV has a large following on Twitch and YouTube, while the Outdoor Boys have amassed over 14 million subscribers. The distribution of clips and posts on X led users to form opposing viewpoints, while they discussed the boundaries between fair use and copyright infringement.Time also attracted more attention. Luke Nicholls had already stepped back from regular content in May 2025 to keep his family life private. Now, a year later, their content is back in the spotlight, but in a way that has raised questions about how reaction videos should work.As clips of the reaction video spread, a moment stood out. It featured Louis Sammartino talking openly about the situation, clearly surprised by what happened. The moment quickly went viral and drew even more people into the discussion.

Lewis Sammartino responds to attacks as Luke Nicholls’ Outdoor Boys content sparks debate over response video

Luis Sammartino did not hide his confusion in the viral clip. He said, “I didn’t know someone could make a reaction video… I didn’t think it was humanly possible.” His words revealed that he believed reaction content generally fell under a different set of rules.He also tried to explain his understanding of copyright. He said this should apply more to outright copying or pretending to be someone else, saying, “Once that’s fixed… it’s over.” From their perspective, reactions are not for stealing videos but for adding comments.Right next to him, his father reacted very differently. He appeared uncomfortable and described the situation as “disturbing” and “shocking”. But instead of adding fuel to the fire, he slowed things down. He said, “Most people are not who they say they are,” giving a more thoughtful consideration of the situation rather than turning it into an outright attack.As soon as the clip spread, people online started dissecting every word. Some believed that Sammartino had an opinion about React content being common across all platforms. Others strongly disagreed and felt that original creators like Luke Nichols had every right to protect their work.Many users on X openly supported the Outdoor Boys. One user wrote that reaction channels are “basically stealing others’ content to make money.” Another said that if a video doesn’t add real value, it becomes a “leech.” These responses reflect a growing frustration with low-effort response content.At the same time, some users defended the reaction creators. He argued that reactions help draw more attention to the original video and can create a new layer of entertainment. Still, those voices were small compared to the criticism.This situation also connects to a bigger issue. When it comes to feedback content there is still no clear line that everyone agrees on. Some creators believe that adding a comment is enough. Others believe that it is also not fair if most of the original video is used.The difference is obvious when looking at both sides. Led by Luke Nicholls, the Outdoor Boys focus on original storytelling, outdoor skills and family moments. LosPolosTV, on the other hand, creates content by reacting to trending videos and adding personal opinions, often in a casual and humorous manner.As of now, there has been no official statement from Luke Nicholls directly addressing the strikes. But their content-related actions have already sparked huge conversations. It’s not just about two creators anymore. It is about how content is accessed, shared and preserved in today’s digital sphere.

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh said fans got their money’s worth after Rohit Sharma’s match-winning performance in Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2026 clash against Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday. Rohit scored 84 runs in 44 balls, which included six fours and seven sixes. MI achieved the target of 229 runs in 18.4 overs. Have to win by four wickets.

When Suryakumar Yadav announced at the toss that Rohit would return, the Wankhede Stadium erupted in loud cheers. After Rohit’s match-winning innings, Harbhajan said that the fans felt it was complete ‘worth the money’ to see him at his best in Mumbai.

MI vs LSG: highlighted | Achievement:

“Rohit’s return has really brought life back into this ground. You can hear the roar everywhere, chants of his name are echoing all around. He did not disappoint at all, played a brilliant innings and entertained everyone. Many people who were already leaving after the match said it was ‘worth the money’ to see Rohit Sharma bat today,” Harbhajan told the broadcasters.

‘I wish his injury would heal soon’

Harbhajan said that if only Rohit Sharma had recovered from his hamstring injury earlier, he believes Mumbai Indians could have won more matches. He said MI should aim to win all their remaining games, reach 14 points and then assess how net run rate or even weather factors like rain could affect their play-off chances.

“I just wish that his injury had healed earlier. If he had played the earlier matches which he lost, Mumbai would have had a chance to win some of them as well, which would have made their path forward better.

“From here, I would say if they win all their matches, at least give themselves a chance. Reach 14 points first, and then see what happens. You never know, rain can come, net run rate can change, things can change suddenly,” Harbhajan said.

Despite the win over Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians finished ninth on the table with six points and a net run rate of -0.649. They will aim to extend their winning streak when they face Rajat Patidar-led Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium on Sunday, May 10.

इसके बाद बातचीत आगे बढ़ी और प्रदेश कांग्रेस के वरिष्ठ नेता हरीश रावत, गणेश गोदियाल, हरक और यशपाल की आवाजें सुनाई दीं। ये बातें बता कर उस ने भावना को विश्वास में ले लिया और खर्च का इंतजाम करने को कहा. इस पर भावना ने 25 लाख रुपये कैश का इंतजाम किया. इसके बाद आरोपी ने खुद को विधायक का पीए बताकर अजय नाम के शख्स को पैसे लेने के लिए भेजा. भावना ने अपने पास से पैसे दिये।

वायरल पत्र पर बोले गोदियाल: विधायक अरविंद पांडे ने भी कहा होगा कि मैं सीएम धामी का वफादार सिपाही हूं.
