RM, the leader of global K-pop sensation BTS, has once again captured the internet’s attention—this time not with music, but with a surprisingly relatable personal moment. The artist recently shared his first-ever driving video, offering fans a rare glimpse into a quieter, more candid side of his life.
The short clip, posted with the caption “Let’s keep smiling and hype it up,” shows RM behind the wheel, navigating the road with visible caution and a slightly tense posture. The video quickly made waves across social media platforms and fan communities, where viewers were both amused and charmed by his careful driving style. Many pointed out the contrast between his composed, intellectual public persona and the nervous energy of someone new to driving.
RM had previously revealed that he obtained his driver’s license, though he also made it clear that owning a car was not part of his plans. Sharing more about his decision, he explained that learning to drive was a personal step taken to overcome a past trauma rather than a practical necessity. His candid admission added emotional depth to what might otherwise have been seen as a simple update, giving fans insight into his personal growth and resilience.
Adding to the lighthearted tone, RM acknowledged his own awkwardness in the video, joking, “I’m funny too,” a remark that resonated strongly with fans who appreciated his honesty and self-awareness. The moment quickly became a favourite among the BTS fandom, with many describing it as “unexpectedly cute” and deeply relatable.
The timing of the video has also heightened anticipation among fans, as BTS prepares for a major comeback. The group is set to release its fifth full-length album “Arirang” on March 20, followed by a special event titled “BTS Comeback Live: Arirang” at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul on March 21. As excitement builds around the new music, RM’s personal update has added a refreshing and human touch to the global buzz surrounding the group.
Through moments like these, RM continues to strengthen his connection with fans, reminding them that beyond the global fame and success, he remains grounded, evolving, and open about his personal journey.
The rare pink dolphins of the Brahmaputra River are among India’s most extraordinary wildlife sightings. Despite their popular name, they are not a separate species but the endangered Ganges River Dolphin, officially recognised as India’s National Aquatic Animal. Their presence in Assam’s mighty river is both a symbol of ecological heritage and a reminder of the urgent need for conservation.
These dolphins are most commonly spotted in stretches of the Brahmaputra near Majuli Island, one of the world’s largest river islands, as well as around Kaziranga National Park and at river confluences where fish are abundant. The best time to see them is between October and April, when water levels recede and sightings become more frequent. Early mornings and late afternoons offer the highest chances of witnessing their brief, graceful surfacing.
Though often described as pink, these dolphins are naturally grey. Their pinkish appearance is caused by visible blood vessels close to the skin, which become more noticeable in sunlight or as they age. Adapted to the murky waters of the river, they are functionally blind and rely entirely on echolocation to navigate and hunt. They are also known to swim on their sides, a distinctive behaviour that helps them move through shallow waters.
Conservationists estimate that fewer than 300 Ganges river dolphins remain in the Brahmaputra, making each sighting rare and significant. Habitat loss, river pollution, fishing nets, and changing water flows pose serious threats to their survival. Protecting this species is not only about preserving wildlife but also about safeguarding the health of India’s river ecosystems.
The Brahmaputra’s pink dolphins stand as a living testament to the fragile beauty of India’s natural heritage — elusive, endangered, and deeply worth protecting.
“Some lives continue to shape our path long after they are gone.”
On the 7th death anniversary of former Goa Deputy Chief Minister Francisco C. J. A. De Pinto E Souza, his son and Mapusa MLA Joshua De Souza shared a heartfelt tribute, remembering his father not only as a respected political leader but as his guide and greatest source of strength.
In an emotional note, Joshua reflected on the values, discipline, and commitment to public service that his father embodied throughout his political journey. He expressed that the lessons taught to him — both as a son and as a young leader — continue to influence every decision he makes while serving the people of Mapusa and Goa.
Francisco De Souza was widely regarded for his administrative acumen, grassroots connect, and dedication to Goa’s development. His tenure as Deputy Chief Minister left a lasting mark on the state’s political landscape.
Seven years after his passing, his legacy continues to live on — not only in public memory but through the leadership and service carried forward by his son. The tribute stands as a reminder that true leadership is measured not only by positions held, but by the values instilled in the next generation.
For Joshua De Souza, the remembrance was deeply personal — a reflection of gratitude, respect, and responsibility to uphold the principles that defined his father’s life and career.
Today is Friday the 13th — a date many consider the creepiest on the calendar. For some, it’s just another day. For others, it carries superstition, ominous symbolism and cultural fear. The dread associated with it even has a name: Paraskevidekatriaphobia, the fear of Friday the 13th. More broadly, fear of the number 13 itself is called Triskaidekaphobia.
So where did this unease begin?
One of the earliest references often cited is the Code of Hammurabi, an ancient Babylonian legal text from around 1754 BCE. It reportedly does not list a 13th law. Historians argue this was likely a clerical or translation omission rather than a deliberate act, yet the idea of a “missing” 13th law has fueled speculation that the number carried negative connotations even in ancient times. Do you think history shapes superstition — or do we sometimes read meaning into accidents?
Norse mythology adds another layer. In stories recorded in the Prose Edda, twelve gods were gathered at a banquet when Loki arrived uninvited as the 13th guest. Loki tricked the blind god Hodr into killing Baldr, the beloved god of light. Baldr’s death plunged the world into darkness and mourning, reinforcing the belief that the 13th guest brings misfortune. Would you think twice about a dinner table of thirteen?
Christian tradition also plays a role. During the Last Supper, Jesus dined with his twelve disciples before his crucifixion. Tradition holds that thirteen people were present, including Judas Iscariot, who later betrayed him. While scripture does not focus on the number itself, the association of betrayal and tragedy with a group of thirteen further deepened its ominous image in Western culture.
Another historical episode often linked to the superstition is the arrest of the Knights Templar on Friday, October 13, 1307, ordered by Philip IV of France. Although historians debate how strongly this event influenced the myth, the dramatic coincidence of the date has been woven into popular lore.
The superstition gained modern momentum in 1907 when stock promoter and writer Thomas W. Lawson published his novel Friday, the Thirteenth, a story about financial panic and market manipulation. Over time, Hollywood cemented the fear through the Friday the 13th franchise, turning the date into a symbol of horror and suspense worldwide.
Psychologists suggest the fear persists because of confirmation bias — we tend to remember unfortunate events that happen on Friday the 13th while ignoring the countless ordinary ones. If something minor goes wrong today, does it feel bigger simply because of the date?
In 2026, there are three Friday the 13ths — February 13, March 13 and November 13 — the maximum possible in a single year. That makes 2026 one of those rare years packed with what some might call “freaky Fridays.”
Despite its ominous reputation, Friday the 13th remains a fascinating mix of myth, religion, history and pop culture. So tell me — are you cautious today, or is it just another Friday for you?
