Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya has embarked on a new journey in his personal life, marrying renowned Carnatic singer Sivasri Skandaprasad in an intimate ceremony. The wedding, held in a private setting, was attended by close family and political associates, keeping the celebrations low-key.
Despite the discreet nature of the event, several BJP leaders, including Annamalai, Pratap Simha, and Amit Malaviya, shared glimpses of the occasion on social media, extending their wishes to the couple. Karnataka BJP president BY Vijayendra and Union Minister V Somanna were also present at the wedding, later posting pictures online to commemorate the occasion.

In a move to redefine hybrid work culture, Infosys has announced a new policy requiring employees at JL5 and below to work from the office for at least 10 days a month, effective March 10, 2025.
To ensure compliance, the IT giant will introduce system interventions in its attendance software, limiting the number of work-from-home days an employee can apply for in a given month. This change is targeted at the 3.23 lakh employees at job level 5 and below, which includes software engineers, senior engineers, system engineers, and consultants.
However, higher-ranked employees such as managers, senior managers, and delivery managers (JL6 and above) will not be affected by this mandate. The decision aligns with Infosys’ strategy to maintain operational efficiency while allowing flexibility for employees adapting to hybrid work models.

IRS officer Sameer Wankhede, known for arresting Aryan Khan in the high-profile narcotics case, is set to return to Mumbai after the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) quashed his transfer order to Chennai.
Wankhede, who was moved from Mumbai to Chennai in May 2022, challenged the decision, citing bias and security threats. The tribunal ruled in his favor, criticizing the Union finance ministry and Central Board for Direct Taxes for their handling of the case.
Wankhede had previously faced allegations related to his tenure at the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), but the courts upheld his right to a fair defense. With this ruling, he is expected to resume his post in Mumbai, though further legal battles may follow.
Fashion retailer Forever 21 is undergoing significant restructuring, with plans to lay off nearly 700 employees and shut down its California headquarters. The closures will affect nine stores in California and Pennsylvania, as the brand’s operating company, Catalyst Brands, explores strategic options to cut costs and optimize store operations.
This follows an earlier downsizing by Catalyst, which let go of 250 employees last month. The fast-fashion giant, which was acquired out of bankruptcy for $81 million in 2020, has struggled to maintain its retail presence in the evolving fashion industry. With mall owners Simon Property Group and Brookfield among its stakeholders, the brand’s future remains uncertain as it continues to search for viable turnaround strategies.
SpaceX’s Starship suffered another setback on Thursday, breaking apart over the Bahamas just minutes after launch. The test flight, intended to release mock satellites into orbit, ended in an unexpected explosion, marking yet another challenge for Elon Musk’s ambitious space program.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) responded by issuing ground stops at major Florida airports, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando, due to “space launch debris.”
SpaceX confirmed the loss of the spacecraft, stating that Starship experienced a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” after its ascent burn. The company has pledged to investigate the cause of the failure and implement necessary improvements before the next test flight.
Hollywood director Ben Stiller has shared an interesting behind-the-scenes story about his Apple TV show Severance. Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Stiller revealed that he initially approached former US President Barack Obama to lend his voice to an animated segment in the show.
Despite Obama being a fan of the series, he declined due to a busy schedule. Stiller humorously questioned what could be more important than a cameo in Severance, but ultimately, he secured Keanu Reeves for the role instead.
The anecdote adds to the growing appeal of Severance, which has captivated audiences with its unique storyline and high-profile cast.
