Through the dark times that came with Covid-19, almost all of mankind has started believing in the power of kindness. Nothing can make one’s day more wholesome than a gesture of kindness. Be it a gift or a good morning text, small things matter. In the spirit of kindness and wholesomeness, a picture went viral on Twitter, and it has been winning everyone’s heart.

A Twitter user shared a picture from her office. It is evident from the picture and the caption that her entire office celebrated the birthday of a guard. In the picture stands the guard, who is visibly very happy and surprised by this act of kindness. The user who shared the picture said in her caption that the guard sits outside her office every day and greets everyone good morning. It was his birthday and the office decided to do a little something for him.

The positive reactions to this post were as delightful as the picture. One user called the post heartwarming. He added that sometimes the small gestures can mean the world to somebody as it takes a smile to get someone out of their shell. Another Twitter user said that the smile on the birthday boy’s face is priceless, but perhaps the bigger wonder is the thoughtfulness of those working in that office.

However, one user on Twitter pointed out the fact that the people celebrating this man’s birthday are part of the oppressive system which loots the man’s hard work by not paying him what he deserves, which is disgusting. The user further remarked that the people in the office want the guard to think that they care about him when they actually don’t.

To such negative comments, a user asked if everyone can’t just appreciate the fact that the office sponsored him a cake. He added that most companies don’t even care for people like him.

ICC Men’s T20 World Cup: Who advances if India vs England semifinal is washed out

India take on England in the T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal in Mumbai. With rain concerns looming, here is a detailed look at reserve day rules and who qualifies if the match is abandoned.

India are set to face England in the semifinal of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, but weather concerns have raised questions about what happens if the high-stakes clash is washed out.

Here is a clear breakdown of all possible scenarios.

Reserve day in place for semifinal

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has allocated a reserve day for the semifinal. If rain interrupts play on Thursday, officials have an additional 90 minutes on the scheduled day and 120 extra minutes on Friday to try and complete the fixture.

A minimum five-over contest per side is required for a result.

What if the match is abandoned

If the semifinal cannot be completed even after the reserve day, the outcome will be determined by standings in the Super 8 stage.

In that case, England would progress to the final as they finished higher in their Super 8 group. England topped their group with three wins, while India secured second place with two victories.

What happens if both semifinals are washed out

In the other semifinal, South Africa are scheduled to take on New Zealand at the Eden Gardens.

If both semifinal matches are abandoned, South Africa and England would advance to the final based on their superior Super 8 group standings.

Recent India vs England semifinal history

The upcoming contest continues a notable pattern between the two sides.

In the 2022 edition, England ended India’s campaign in the semifinal before defeating Pakistan in the final to lift the trophy.

However, in 2024, India reversed that result. Under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, India defeated England in the semifinal and went on to beat South Africa in Barbados to secure the title.

Interestingly, in both recent editions, the winner of the India-England semifinal eventually emerged as world champion, adding further intrigue to Thursday’s clash in Mumbai.

Total lunar eclipse on March 3: When and how to watch blood moon safely

A total lunar eclipse on March 3 will create a stunning blood moon. Here are the timings, visibility details and safe viewing tips for India and other regions.

Lunar Ecliple234

Sky-watchers across several parts of the world are set to witness a spectacular total lunar eclipse on March 3, when the Moon will take on a striking coppery-red hue, popularly known as a “blood moon”.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow completely over the lunar surface. During this phase, instead of turning dark, the Moon glows in shades of deep red or orange. This phenomenon happens because the Earth’s atmosphere bends and filters sunlight, allowing only red wavelengths to reach the Moon.

Where will the lunar eclipse be visible

The total lunar eclipse will be visible across eastern Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific region, and parts of North and South America.

In India, only the final phase of the eclipse will be visible around moonrise at sunset. Northeastern states including Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and West Bengal are expected to have a view of the celestial event, subject to clear weather conditions.

According to official timings shared by the India Meteorological Department, the eclipse schedule in India is as follows:

  • Eclipse begins: 3:20 pm
  • Total phase begins: 4:34 pm
  • Total phase ends: 5:33 pm
  • Eclipse ends: 6:48 pm

Globally, totality will last for approximately 58 minutes, from 6:04 am EST (1104 GMT / 4:34 pm IST) to 7:02 am EST (1202 GMT / 5:32 pm IST).

Is it safe to watch the blood moon

Unlike a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse is completely safe to observe with the naked eye. There is no need for protective eyewear.

Experts advise choosing a location with a clear and unobstructed view of the eastern horizon for the best experience. While the eclipse can be seen without equipment, binoculars or a small telescope can enhance the view and bring out the Moon’s reddish tones more clearly.

Tips for photographing the blood moon

Those planning to capture the rare event can consider the following tips:

  1. Use a DSLR or mirrorless camera paired with a telephoto lens between 200 mm and 600 mm for closer shots.
  2. Increase the ISO between 400 and 1600 and slow the shutter speed to around 1–2 seconds during totality to capture the dimmer red glow.
  3. Use a tripod to ensure stability and avoid blurred images.

The March 3 total lunar eclipse offers astronomy enthusiasts a unique opportunity to witness one of the most captivating natural spectacles in the night sky.
