Air India Rescues 194 Passengers from Dubai DIASPORA

Air India staff with some of the rescued passengers returning to India.

new DelHi: India’s national carrier Air India on Tuesday brought back 149 stranded passengers from Dubai as part of special operations amid the ongoing situation in the Middle East.

The flight, AI916D, landed safely at Delhi Airport at 10:58 am IST, according to the airline.

The aircraft, bearing registration VT-EDC, carried a total of 149 passengers who had been stranded in Dubai due to the prevailing circumstances in the region.

This marks the first flight oper-

ated by an Indian airline to bring back passengers during the current crisis in the Middle East.

“Air India welcomes back stranded passengers from Dubai on flight AI916D that landed at 1058 hrs IST at Delhi Airport. The aircraft, VT-EDC, ferried a total of 149 passengers, ” the airline said in a statement.

A repatriation flight will travel out from Muscat in Oman “in the coming days,” according to Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper.

Air travel in the region has been

severely disrupted since Saturday (February 28), with thousands of flights cancelled.

Cooper said 130,000 British nationals have registered their presence in the Middle East.

A small number of commercial flights have already brought Britons back, but the vast majority have been cancelled due to airspace closures.

Speaking with MPs, Cooper said that the repatriation flight will depart in the next few days.

‘I Feel Abandoned’: American

Dubai: An Indian-American CEO of SardineAI, a US-based startup, said US is not doing anything to rescue its citizens stranded in Middle East and it’s difficult to watch other countries like the UK, France, Italy, India repatriating their citizens while the US government abandoned their citizens.

“I am a proud US citizen and founder of a successful startup that employs 94 employees in the US and 180+ employees globally.

I was in Dubai on a business trip meeting with financial institutions to help them fight financial fraud in the region, but now I am stranded,” Ranjan posted on X.

“After 4 days of adrenalin and constant fear, I feel demoralised and abandoned by our government. It’s difficult watching other countries – UK, Israel, Spain, Italy and India – repatriate their citizens or ensure that commercial flights continue operating to bring them home,” the post added.

“I became a naturalized US citizen because I believe in the American dream, and the idea that in a crisis, America never leaves its citizens behind. I see that Ameri-

can dream being shattered not just for me, but for tens of thousands of other Americans left stranded,” Ranjan wrote, adding that he booked a dozen flights as the US government has been urging people to leave Dubai but all those flights are getting canceled.

Ranjan noted that US-bound commercial flights are getting canceled while flights to other countries are operating.

The US State Department is facing a massive backlash as the crisis enters its fifth day without any US government plan to evacuate its citizens. The State Department issued a helpline number (1-202501-4444) for assistance with departure options. The government has also urged its citizens in Dubai to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program to receive updates.

“I am enrolled in Step and have only received generic messages. Further, on calling that number, the message you get is: ‘Please don’t rely on the USG for assisted departure or evacuation at this point. There are currently no evacuation flights at this time.”

Chinmaya Mission Houston Celebrates Sacred Mahashivaratri

Houston: Chinmaya Mission

Houston celebrated the sacred festival of Mahashivaratri on February 15th with deep devotion and spiritual spirit, followed by the Maha Mrityunjaya Homa on February 21st. The twin observances drew devotees from across the Greater Houston area, providing an opportunity for prayers, reflection, and collective worship of Lord Shiva.

Mahashivaratri is the night when Lord Shiva performed the Tandava Nritya, the cosmic dance of creation, preservation, and destruction. It is also believed to mark the divine marriage of Shiva and Parvati. Another legend recounts that during the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan), a deadly poison emerged that threatened to destroy the universe. Lord Shiva consumed the poison to protect creation, holding it in his throat, which turned blue, earning him the name Neelkanth. Mahashivaratri celebrates this selfless act, reminding devotees of the values of courage, sacrifice, and devotion.

On Shivaratri, the celebration began with the Kshirabhisheka offered to the Utsava Murti at Saumyakasi Shivalaya. Priest Ganesh ji then conducted the Mahanyasapurvaka Rudrabhisheka to the Shiva Linga, joined by other Ritviks chanting the powerful Sri

Rudram. As the Vedic mantras resonated throughout the sanctum, devotees immersed themselves in prayer and meditation, contemplating Shiva’s qualities of stillness, inner strength, and transformation.

In the evening, Ganesh ji performed the Laghunyasapurvaka Rudrabhisheka, attracting an even larger gathering of devotees. The temple was filled to capacity, with many families participating in the abhisheka themselves, offering sacred libations to the Shivalingas arranged for worship. Volunteers guided attendees with warm smiles, ensuring the rituals proceeded smoothly and maintaining a welcoming atmosphere for all.

Adding to the divine ambiance, the children from Balavihar Orchestra team, under the guidance

of Smt. Jamuna Murali, performed soul-stirring bhajans and concluded with a powerful rendition of the Shiva Tandava Stotram. The evening culminated in a serene meditation session, allowing everyone to absorb the spiritual vibrations of the night and connect deeply with the divine.

The celebrations continued on February 21st with the Maha Mrityunjaya Homa in Smriti Hall, conducted by Ganesh ji. The sacred chant of “Om Tryambakam…”, revered for its power to grant healing, longevity, and spiritual strength, filled the hall as devotees sat in silent meditation, absorbed in prayer to Lord Shiva.

Year after year, hundreds of volunteers dedicate their time and energy to prepare the temple and the

courtyard for Shivaratri. Thoughtful decorations, intricate lighting, and careful arrangements create an atmosphere that is both welcoming and spiritually uplifting. When night falls and the lamps are illuminated, the entire temple radiates a serene and sacred ambiance. For many devotees, visiting Chinmaya Mission during Shivaratri has become an annual tradition. The devotion in the air, the collective prayers, and the peaceful energy of the temple make the celebration not just an event, but a deeply cherished spiritual experience.

Being part of Chinmaya Mission Houston during these sacred events is truly inspiring, especially as the community celebrates Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav, marking 75 years of Swami Chinmayananda’s

transformative teachings. Every Sunday, thousands of children attend Balavihar, learning Hindu values and connecting with their cultural heritage. Acharya Gaurang Nanavaty and his late wife, Smt. Darshana Nanavaty, have been the pillars of this institution, nurturing generations of young minds and ensuring that the Mission continues to thrive as a center of spiritual learning and community servie.

Reacting to the ruling, Katyal said through an X post that the US Supreme Court gave us everything we asked for in our legal case. “Everything.”

Katyal said the US Supreme Court stood up for the rule of law and Americans everywhere. “Its message was simple: Presidents are powerful, but our Constitution is more powerful still. In America, only Congress can impose taxes on the American people.”

Neal Katyal was born on March 12, 1970, in Chicago, Illinois, to immigrant parents originally from India. His mother, Pratibha, is a pediatrician and his father, Surendar, who died in 2005, was an engineer. Katyal’s sister, Sonia,

Rakhi Israni for Congress in California

Houston: A familiar name to many in Houston’s Indian-American community is suddenly drawing national attention: Rakhi Israni, raised in Houston, is running as a Democrat for the United States House of Representatives in California’s 14th Congressional District. She launched her campaign on January 20th entering the race with a message centered on rising costs, restore fiscal sanity, and rule of law.

Israni’s candidacy has the feel of a big hometown moment — a “one of us” story that stretches from the Bayou City to one of the country’s most competitive and expensive political media markets. Supporters point to an early surge of momentum, after launching her campaign and securing early endorsements that signal she’s a serious contender in a crowded race.

For Houstonians, the résumé reads like a tour of local institutions and long-term ambition. Starting her career at the Police Academy, she earned her J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center and an MBA from Rice University, anchoring her professional story in the city where she grew up. She later earned an LL.M. (Master of Laws) with high honors from Columbia Law School in 2023.

Professionally, Israni is an attorney, entrepreneur, and educator. She founded and leads Excel

Test Prep, Inc., a national educational company based in Fremont, California similar to the famous TestMasters located in Houston.

Mother to four teenagers, her background also includes work representing underserved families in family court, helping elderly clients with estate planning, and community leadership ranging from PTA service to nonprofit board roles.

Her supporters also frame the campaign as a milestone moment for representation: if elected, Israni would become the first IndianAmerican woman to serve in Congress from California and only the second Indian-American woman ever elected to the U.S. House.

Santa Clara County District At-

torney Jeff Rosen, one of her early endorsers, praised her approach to public service, saying, “Her leadership is defined by character, not cameras.”

Israni urged community involvement in direct terms: “The Indian community must get out and support Indian candidates for congressional seats with a donation of time and money. Federal representation is imperative if our community is to advance.”

Houston supporters will have an opportunity to meet Israni on March 7. The local sponsors of the event are Haku Israni, Vijay Pallod, Rishi Bhutada, Ashish Agrawal, Darshan Wadhwa, and Hindu American PAC.

‘Accused ‘: Konkona in Tense Psych Drama

Story: After sexual misconduct allegations shatter her reputation, London-based gynaecologist Geetika Sen (Konkona Sen Sharma) fights to clear her name, confront buried truths, and navigate the emotional fallout threatening her career and identity.

Review: After exploring the male gaze within gynaecology in Doctor G, director Anubhuti Kashyap shifts the lens dramatically with Accused. This time, the scalpel is turned inward — toward power, gender and the fragile architecture of reputation.

Anchored by a riveting performance from Konkona Sen Sharma, the 107-minute psychological drama unfolds as a slow-burn interrogation of truth itself.

Dr. Geetika Sen is a celebrated London-based gynaecologist on the cusp of becoming Dean. Professionally accomplished and personally content with her wife Meera (Pratibha Ranta), she appears to have perfected the balance between ambition and domestic stability.

However, an anonymous email to the hospital’s HR alleging sexual misconduct detonates her carefully curated life. What follows is less an investigative thriller and more a chamber piece on suspicion, perception and the crushing weight of public opinion.The film’s first half is taut and unsettling. Kashyap resists melodrama, allowing silence and implication to carry the tension.

Much like Kahaani or NH10, Accused places a woman firmly at the centre of its narrative but avoids casting her as either victim or avenger. Instead, Geetika swings between authority and vulnerability. Sharma’s performance thrives on ambiguity — she embodies both hero and potential villain with unnerving conviction, compelling viewers to question their own assumptions about guilt and innocence.

The drama unfolds not through dramatic twists but through emotional erosion. As the inquiry in-

tensifies, social media outrage becomes as punishing as the formal investigation. The film wisely captures how reputations can collapse in hours, long before due process runs its course.

The second half deliberately slows down, shifting focus to Geetika’s crumbling marriage. Meera’s dilemma — to stand by her partner or step away — forms the emotional spine of the narrative. Pratibha Ranta delivers a quietly assured performance, never overshadowing Sharma yet holding her ground in moments of confrontation. Their chemistry is not rooted in overt romance but in the painful disintegration of trust. It is within these hushed arguments and lingering silences that the film discovers its most affecting moments.

Supporting actors, including Aditya Nanda as Meera’s colleague-turned-confidant Angad, lend steady support and help nudge the narrative forward without distracting from the central conflict. Visually, the film leans into muted palettes and shadow-drenched interiors.

The cinematography complements the script’s ambiguity, offering no easy visual cues where moral clarity is absent.The build-

up is gripping from the outset, but the film does falter in pacing and a certain predictability toward the end. Emotional stretches in the latter half dilute some of the sharp tension established earlier, and a few narrative threads feel underexplored. The resolution, though thought-provoking, may divide viewers. Yet this refusal to offer neat closure seems intentional — Accused is less invested in providing answers than in provoking discomfort.Subtly but firmly, the film interrogates the burden placed on women in positions of power. It hints at how systemic hostility can harden behaviour, without ever justifying misconduct. The outrage, isolation and psychological toll on both the accused and their loved ones are portrayed with nuance

On the whole, Accused is an engaging psychological drama elevated by commanding performances. It may not possess the adrenaline rush of conventional thrillers, but its moral ambiguity and emotional undercurrents linger long after the credits roll, making it a worthy addition to Hindi cinema’s expanding canon of women-led psychological narratives. -- ToI
