India is celebrating a remarkable sporting milestone as young skater Shrishti Dharmendra Sharma, hailing from Maharashtra, etched her name into the record books with a jaw-dropping performance in Limbo Skating. The prodigious athlete skated under descending poles for a distance of 50 meters in just 7.46 seconds—setting a new world record in the sport.

Shrishti, who is recognized as the youngest competitive skater in the country, performed the incredible feat during a public event that quickly caught global attention. Millions watched in awe as she sped through the limbo challenge with unwavering focus, perfect technique, and unmatched agility.

Limbo Skating is a highly specialized sport that demands exceptional flexibility, speed, and core balance. Navigating under a series of steadily descending poles while maintaining momentum is a challenge few can master, especially at such a young age. But for Shrishti, who has dedicated years to honing her craft, this world record is the result of relentless practice and unshakable determination.

Her story is a living example of the age-old adage: “Practice makes perfect.” With each glide, Shrishti not only set a benchmark for fellow athletes but also inspired young dreamers across the country. Her success is a testament to India’s growing talent in niche sports and the power of youth to push boundaries.

Shrishti’s achievement has earned her admiration from sporting communities, mentors, and fans alike. As India continues to nurture emerging sports and untapped talent, stories like Shrishti’s serve as powerful reminders of what dedication, support, and spirit can achieve.

The Partner Technology Event hosted by the Goa Energy Development Agency (GEDA) in Panaji received strong support on Friday with the presence of Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant. The event served as a platform for showcasing emerging advancements in clean energy, such as solar energy, biofuels, battery regeneration, and cutting-edge wastewater management solutions.

Dr Sawant emphasized Goa’s commitment to sustainable energy goals and pointed to initiatives like the BiofuelCircle portal, rooftop solar programs, and the PM Surya Ghar Yojana as examples of progress. “Goa is moving ahead with initiatives like the ‘BiofuelCircle’ portal, rooftop solar, PM Surya Ghar Yojana, and other initiatives,” said Dr Sawant during his address.

The event was not just about clean energy but also about how industries across the board can adapt to technological advancements. From raw material sourcing to ownership patterns (private, public, joint, or cooperative), industries are being urged to align with evolving technologies and sustainability goals to remain competitive and future-ready.

One of the significant topics discussed was the critical role of waste management and how advanced technology can help tackle issues such as toxic plastic waste. “Waste management can be helped with the advanced technology and how it can be useful in depletion of ‘Toxic plastic’ and a ‘Clean environment’ to save the water bodies and biodiversity,” Dr Sawant said.

This initiative ties into India’s broader climate and sustainability roadmap, including its target to achieve major clean energy milestones by 2030. The GEDA event is a strong step in reinforcing Goa’s alignment with that national mission, showcasing how localized efforts can contribute to a greener, cleaner India.

In a black-and-white Instagram post shared on Friday, Kiku posed alongside Krushna, subtly silencing whispers of a feud.

In his caption, Kiku wrote, “Don’t fall for all this gossip and rumours. If I have left ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’, I will always be a part of the show and this family.”

He also reminded fans that the show is still ongoing and available to stream on Netflix, adding, “Toh yeh sab chhodo aur jao Netflix pe show dekho – sirf 3 episode baaki hain.” (So leave all these and go to Netflix to watch the show – only three episodes are left.)

The heartfelt post appears to be a direct response to several media reports speculating that a behind-the-scenes rift had caused Kiku to step away from the comedy series. However, his message clearly underlines his commitment to the show and to his long-standing camaraderie with the cast.

The Great Indian Kapil Show, hosted by Kapil Sharma and featuring a recurring cast of popular comedians including Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, and others, has been a fan favourite for its signature humor and celebrity guest line-up.
