Quote of the day by Aishwarya Rai: ‘Elegance is innate; individual...eternal…’

Alfred’s famous line from Batman Begins — 'Why do we fall, sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up' — remains one of cinema’s most enduring lessons on resilience, perseverance and personal growth.A simple line spoken by Alfred Pennyworth in Batman Begins continues to inspire audiences two decades after the film’s release.“Why do we fall, sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.”The quote, delivered by Alfred Pennyworth in Christopher Nolan’s 2005 superhero drama Batman Begins, has become one of the most memorable lines in modern cinema.Though spoken within the context of Bruce Wayne’s journey to becoming Batman, the message has resonated far beyond the film itself, finding relevance in everyday life, leadership, sport, education and personal development.Meaning of the quoteAt its core, the quote is about resilience. Alfred reminds Bruce Wayne that failure is not something to fear or avoid. Instead, setbacks provide an opportunity to learn, adapt and emerge stronger.The line suggests that mistakes, disappointments and defeats are valuable experiences because they teach individuals how to recover and continue moving forward.The line also speaks to emotional strength. People often experience setbacks in relationships, careers, education and personal ambitions. Alfred's words acknowledge that disappointment and hardship are inevitable parts of life, but they do not have to define a person. What matters is how you respond to adversity. The ability to rise after a setback, rather than remain defeated by it, is what shapes character.Another reason the quote remains so powerful is its optimism. It reframes difficult experiences as opportunities rather than defeats. Instead of asking why bad things happen, Alfred encourages Bruce to focus on what can be learned from them. The message is ultimately one of hope: no matter how hard the fall, there is always the possibility of getting back up, wiser and stronger than before.Relevance of the quote in the filmWithin the story of Batman Begins, the quote carries particular emotional weight. Bruce Wayne is haunted by the loss of his parents and struggles with guilt, anger and self-doubt. Throughout the film, he repeatedly faces physical and emotional setbacks as he searches for purpose and justice. Alfred uses the line to remind him that falling is a natural part of life and that true character is defined by the ability to rise again.Alfred Pennyworth is far more than Bruce Wayne’s butler. A trusted guardian, mentor and father figure, Alfred serves as the moral compass of the Wayne family. In Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, the character is portrayed by Michael Caine, whose performance brought warmth, wisdom and emotional depth to the role. His guidance helps shape Bruce Wayne into the hero Gotham City ultimately needs.Released in 2005, Batman Begins marked the start of Nolan’s acclaimed Dark Knight trilogy. The film rebooted the Batman franchise with a more grounded and realistic approach, exploring Bruce Wayne’s origins and transformation into the iconic vigilante. Starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne, the film was both a critical and commercial success and is widely credited with redefining the modern superhero genre.More than 20 years later, Alfred’s words remain relevant because they speak to a universal truth: setbacks are inevitable, but growth comes from the determination to stand up again. In a world where success is often celebrated and failure is feared, the quote serves as a reminder that resilience is often the foundation of achievement.About the AuthorTrisha BhattacharyaTrisha Bhattacharya is a Senior Content Producer at Livemint, with over two years of experience covering entertainment news from India and beyond.

Donald Trump could be the man to save Cuba

US-Iran news LIVE: As US President Donald Trump tries to finalise a peace deal with Iran, his ties with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are reportedly turning sour. Trump hits out at Netanyahu, stating that “without me, there would be no Israel.” He even called the Israeli PM “crazy.”The tension came as the US President criticised the recent Israeli strikes in Lebanon, which once again threatened to jeopardise negotiations between Washington and Tehran. Trump has been pushing for a peace deal as he faces growing political blowback at home.Iran exports first crude oil in two monthsOn Tuesday, Iran was able to export its first crude oil shipments in two months after the two sides reached an agreement to end the US naval blockade, according to maritime intelligence company TankerTrackers. The US naval blockade was imposed on 13 April, days after Tehran closed the Strait of Hormuz once again following tensions with Washington. Earlier on Monday, Trump announced that the Strait of Hormuz had been reopened under the terms of the agreement, but later revised the timeline, saying the strait would reopen after a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.Australia lowers Middle East travel warningsFollowing the announcement of a US-Iran peace deal, Australia lowered its travel warnings for the Middle East countries, including Bahrain, Israel, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the advisory moved to "reconsider your need to travel" from "do not travel," but added that Australians should continue to delay non-essential travel to the Gulf states.Iran seeks Israel's withdrawal from LebanonIran's top diplomat on Tuesday reiterated that the tentative deal to end the war with the United States would require Israel to withdraw from Lebanon, a condition that Israel has already rejected and could impact the agreement, leading to the resumption of all-out war.The deal, which is between Washington and Tehran, has not been made public yet, and officials from both sides have offered contradictory statements of what is in it. While Israel is not a party to the agreement, it is part of the war after joining the US in launching strikes on Iran on 28 February. Israel has also fought the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon and seized large swaths of that country.Oil falls to three-month low as US-Iran peace deal to boost supplyOil reported its longest run of declines this year as the US-Iran peace deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz raised expectations for a revival in supply, with leading Wall Street banks reducing their price forecasts and key market gauges tumbling.Global benchmark Brent fell for a fourth session, settling under $79 per barrel, the lowest level since early March. The US and Iran are preparing to formally sign an interim peace deal on Friday that would allow tankers trapped since the start of the conflict to exit the key waterway.US-Iran peace agreement yet to be made publicOn Tuesday, details for the US and Iran's interim agreement to end the war in the Middle East started emerging, with Trump saying that Washington will rule out a nuclear weapon for Tehran and a US official stating that it allows Iran to sell oil upon signing.The memorandum of understanding signed this week, though yet to be made public, extends a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days to allow the warring countries to negotiate a permanent truce.

Aqua farmers worried over manufacturers’ bid to increase shrimp feed prices

Representative image. | Photo Credit: Getty Images/iStockphotos The State government will introduce the Maharashtra Women Farmers Empowerment Bill, 2026, during the upcoming Monsoon Session of the Legislative Assembly beginning on June 22, seeking to grant women farmers independent legal recognition and improve their access to welfare schemes and institutional support, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced on Friday (June 12, 2026).Mr. Fadnavis reviewed a preliminary presentation on the draft Bill at a meeting attended by Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Ajit Pawar, Agriculture Minister Dattatray Bharane and Minister of State for Agriculture Ashish Jaiswal at his official residence on Friday.“Women account for more than 81% of participation in Maharashtra’s agricultural sector. However, most agricultural policies and government schemes remain male-centric. Since land ownership is often a prerequisite for availing benefits under agricultural schemes, a large number of women farmers are excluded from these benefits. Women cultivating family- or community-owned land, as well as those engaged in allied activities such as fisheries, livestock rearing, poultry farming and collection of forest produce, are often not recognised as farmers. It is against this backdrop that the proposed legislation has been drafted,” he said.Digital systemThe Chief Minister directed officials to undertake a detailed study for developing an effective digital system through which women farmers can access State government loan schemes, agricultural subsidies, seeds, fertilisers, crop insurance, extension services, market facilities, transportation, storage infrastructure and social security schemes.

Fusion power startup Zap Energy pulls a partial pivot, adding nuclear fission to the mix

After you’ve worked on rockets that find their way to outer space, it can be hard to come up with a second act. For SpaceX alumni Andrew Redd, it meant looking deep in the ocean. Redd, who grew up in the Pacific Northwest, a region affected by uncharacteristic heat waves and catastrophic fires in recent years, knew he wanted to tackle something in renewable energy. “But the experience at a very hardcore company like SpaceX made me realize that I can’t just come up with an incremental solution. It actually has to be brand new and it has to be approached from first principles,” according to Redd, who was an engineer on Dragon and Starship at SpaceX. Redd left SpaceX and founded Endurance Energy, a startup that has raised a $54 million Series A to eventually harness terawatts of geothermal energy deep in the ocean, TechCrunch has learned. Founders Fund led the round with participation from 72 Ventures, Construct Captial, Felisis Ventures, First Round Capital, Riot Ventures, and Voyager Ventures. The new funding will allow the company to develop its plans for power plants at a time of surging energy demand from AI data centers, electric vehicles, and heavy industry. Since founding the company last year, Redd has grown the team to 21 employees, 11 of whom used to work at SpaceX. The company’s vice president of engineering previously worked at Helion Energy, the fusion startup. Geothermal energy isn’t a new idea — humans have been using the Earth’s heat for millennia, whether it be from spa-like hot springs or geothermal power plants. But Redd, drawing on his experience at SpaceX, figured there was another opportunity people were overlooking. Here’s how he distilled the problem: Any future energy source should be renewable, or at least non-polluting, in his opinion. “That’s my non-negotiable,” said Reed, who is CEO of Endurance. It should also be available 24/7 — or baseload power, as the industry calls it — and it should quickly deployable and able to generate tens or hundreds of gigawatts of electricity, according to Redd. He quickly ruled out nuclear power because regulatory and construction timelines can stretch on for years. Solar and wind aren’t available 24/7 without batteries, and hydropower is limited in where it can be built (plus all the good spots have been taken). That left geothermal. “Geothermal is the only real deployable, baseload renewable,” he said. “But why is it only 0.4% of U.S. energy?” There are other startups pursuing geothermal, including Fervo and Zanskar. But those companies need to drill thousands of feet into the Earth’s crust to access temperatures hot enough to drive a power plant. So far, the best opportunities for many geothermal startups has been in the Western U.S., far from large population centers. The best places to drill, where the crust is thin and magma flows close to the surface, like in Iceland or California, have long been claimed. More recently, startups like Fervo Energy, XGS Energy, and Sage Geosystems have found other sites, but to find rocks that are hot enough to drive a power plant, they need to drill thousands of feed deeper. Those locations have so far been away from large population centers. But no one has tapped the oceans. At several points around the globe, the Earth’s tectonic plates are spreading apart, allowing hot magma to flow to the surface. The U.S. West Coast, Japan, and a good chunk of Southeast Asia are near the so-called Ring of Fire, the geologically active zone that encircles the Pacific Ocean. Heading out to sea poses several challenges. Operating underwater, at the depths Endurance is proposing, isn’t easy. Robots will need to do much of the work. Saltwater is famously corrosive, so anything placed down there will have to be hardened against both water pressure and corrosion. But Redd said those are surmountable hurdles, pointing to the oil and gas industry’s decades of experience drilling in the ocean. Endurance’s work should pose less risk to th

Big Cat Summit in New Delhi postponed

Quad Foreign Ministers’ attend a joint press conference in New Delhi on May 26, 2026. | Photo Credit: Sushil Kumar Verma Responding to the challenges emanating from the conflict-hit Persian Gulf and the tensions in the South China Sea, the Quad grouping on Tuesday (May 26, 2026) pledged to enhance cooperation in the maritime and energy domains.At the 11th Quad Foreign Ministers’ meeting, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and his counterparts from Australia, Japan, and the United States launched initiatives on energy security, as well as on maritime surveillance and domain awareness to aid in emergency operations and humanitarian responses at sea.“On the issue of maritime security, there are two big announcements. The first is the launch of the Indo-Pacific Maritime Surveillance Collaboration initiative, which is going to leverage each of our country’s maritime surveillance capabilities in the Indo-Pacific to enhance information sharing,” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at a press conference on the Hyderabad House lawns, where he was joined by Mr. Jaishankar, Japanese FM Toshimitsu Motegi, and Australian FM Penny Wong.Quad Foreign Ministers meet updatesSecond, he said, is the “expansion of the Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness initiative which can provide near real-time commercial maritime domain awareness data to countries throughout the Indo-Pacific region”. Mr. Rubio also announced that India will host the “next iteration of the Quad at Sea mission, which will bring together our respective Coast Guards in one place and one ship”.The law of the seaThe immediate context of these two initiatives found prominent mention in the joint statement issued at the end of the meeting, which insisted on freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the South China Sea.Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi had said, while visiting New Delhi earlier this month, that the Strait of Hormuz is not part of any international waterway and as a result, Iran has no obligation to comply with the UNCLOS (UN Convention on the Law of the Sea).The Quad joint statement contradicted the Iranian claim, and condemned attacks on commercial shipping vessels. It called for adherence to the UNCLOS in both the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, where the Iran-backed Houthi militia continues to pose a threat to western shipping, especially against the backdrop of the U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran that started on February 28.The grouping also announced the Quad Initiative on Indo-Pacific Energy Security to boost regional energy resilience and emergency response exercises.‘Safe maritime commerce’Mr. Jaishankar also hinted at concerns over the continuing chokehold in the Strait of Hormuz and emphasised the need for “safe and unimpeded maritime commerce”. Referring to the growing collaboration in areas like surveillance and domain awareness, logistics networks, undersea cables, training and capacity building, and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief activities, he said, “We will be continuing to deepen these areas in the times to come.”Officials clarified that these initiatives were not aimed at any other regional powers. Later in the day, however, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning addressed the outcomes of the Quad ministerial in New Delhi and reiterated China’s opposition to the “creation of exclusive small cliques”.The joint statement mentioned that the Quad grouping views the “rule of law” and “international law” as essential for maintaining stability in the Indo-Pacific region. “In the midst of conflicts, geopolitical tensions, and strains on global supply chains, we reaffirm that the peace, stability, and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific hinges on upholding international law, and the peaceful resolution of disputes,” it said.Ms. Wong announced the Quad Ports of the Future Partnership, under which the grouping will launch a pilot project for port infrastructure in Fiji. “I was in Fiji just a couple o

PM set to embark on 4-nation Europe trip next month; energy security in focus

Nagesh Kumar, director of the Institute for Studies in Industrial Development, and a member of the Monetary Policy Committee. File | Photo Credit: The Hindu The ongoing West Asia conflict has highlighted India's structural vulnerability to energy shocks, reinforcing the need to reduce dependence on imported crude and accelerate efforts to strengthen energy security, according to an external member of the RBI's rate-setting panel.Nagesh Kumar, who is the director of the Institute for Studies in Industrial Development and also a part of the Monetary Policy Committee, said the Indian approach needs to focus both on stepping up oil exploration domestically and hastening the transition to alternative sources."The high dependence on imported crude makes the Indian economy highly vulnerable to volatility in the hydrocarbons market. While India's macroeconomic fundamentals remain resilient, and the Indian economy will continue to remain the fastest growing major economy with a growth rate of nearly 7% in 2026-27, it is time to prioritise energy security and resilience for sustaining the accelerating economic growth trajectory," Mr. Kumar said in an interview with PTI.
