Sherpa Kami Rita. This Nepali seems to be writing an uninterrupted chapter of mountaineering every year. He first conquered Everest in 1994. Kami Rita is a living inspiration to those who consider mountaineering not just a sport but a philosophy of life.

Legendary Sherpa Kami Rita has broken her own record once again. The 55-year-old Nepalese mountaineer has climbed Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, 31 times.

Sherpa Kami Rita, a guide for an Indian army team, reached the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) summit of Mount Everest at around 4 a.m. on Tuesday, marking a unique achievement in the history of Everest climbers.

Kami Rita was born in Thami village of Solukhumbu district, Nepal. She grew up in the lap of the Himalayas. Since childhood, her family worked as Sherpa guides. And she also followed her father's footsteps and became a professional Sherpa. In her long mountaineering career, she has successfully climbed not only Everest, but also other highest mountains in the world such as Cho Yu, Lhotse, Kanchenjunga, etc. In 1953, Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary first climbed Everest via this route.

"Sherpa Kami Rita needs no introduction. She is not only a hero of Nepalese mountaineering, but also a global symbol of Everest," Seven Summit Treks, the Everest expedition organizer, said in a statement.

According to the Kathmandu Post, Sherpa Kami Rita was leading a team of the Indian Army's Adventure Wing Everest expedition led by Lieutenant Colonel Manoj Joshi.

On the other hand, Mingma Sherpa, chairman of Seven Summit Treks, said that this new feat will further solidify Sherpa Kami Rita's status as the record holder for the highest number of mountain climbs in the world - a record that no one else has come close to achieving.

He said, "Kami Rita is safe and stable after her summit. She is now returning to base camp. As always, Kami has demonstrated her unparalleled skill and professionalism on the mountain. We are extremely proud of her achievement."

A press conference will be held at the Zahur Hossain Chowdhury Hall of the National Press Club at 12 noon on Tuesday. The party's Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman will deliver an important speech.

Jamaat's Assistant Secretary General and Head of the Central Media and Publicity Department, Ehsanul Mahbub Zubair, confirmed this information on Monday.

Earlier on Saturday, the Bangladesh Jamaat Ameer held a meeting with the chief advisor. After the meeting, he told reporters, "We all demanded that there be meaningful reforms. A meaningful election will be held only through these reforms and justice."

On May 9, 2023, thousands of people took to the streets in major cities in Pakistan. They even targeted government and private institutions, especially those associated with Pakistan's powerful military, with attacks.

The targets included the army headquarters in Rawalpindi, the residence of a top military commander in Lahore (which was set on fire), and several other structures and monuments.

The protesters were mainly supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and were protesting against the arrest of their leader and former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Imran Khan was detained in the Islamabad High Court on corruption charges.

Although Imran Khan was released less than 48 hours later, the protests were seen as an unprecedented challenge to the military's rule.

The army has long been considered the most powerful and influential institution in Pakistan, maintaining authority in almost all areas.

Exactly two years later, on May 11, 2025, thousands of people took to the streets again. But this time they took to the streets not against the military, but to praise and support them.

Last week, India and Pakistan engaged in a brief but intense military clash, with both sides attacking each other's installations.

Such a major conflict has not been seen between the two countries since the 1971 war.

The domestic impact of this near-war conflict on Pakistan is clear: public support for the army has increased sharply, and it is seen as the force that will protect the country from Indian aggression.

A Gallup Pakistan survey of more than 500 respondents from May 11 to 15, 2025, found that 96 percent believed Pakistan had won the conflict.

According to preliminary data and survey trends provided to Al Jazeera, 82 percent of people rated the military's performance as "very good." Less than 1 percent expressed dissatisfaction.

Most notably, 92 percent of people said that their perception of the military has become more positive because of this conflict.

There is a danger that a large part of the island will disappear into the sea due to the lack of a protective wall of mangroves in Kutubdia, an island upazila of Cox's Bazar district. This island had at least 1,200 acres of mangroves a few decades ago. At that time, the mangroves were built as a protective wall for this 100 square kilometer island. But in the last three decades, the protective wall of the island has been destroyed.

Syeda Rizwana Hasan, advisor to the interim government's Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change and the Ministry of Water Resources, said, "Industries will have to pay a price for using groundwater. This measure is being taken to control pollution of reservoirs and rivers and to force reuse of water used by industries."

Veteran actress Dilara Zaman stepped onto the red carpet feeling a little upset. When asked about taking pictures, she said in a low voice, "Why are you coming to your event? I am 83 years old now. I am not getting any younger." Immediately, several people from the side said, "You are always with us. You are our Dilara Apa, you are the heroine."

As soon as Vidya Sinha Mim stepped onto the red carpet, photographers surrounded her. Mim seemed to be looking for someone as she posed for pictures one after another. She called someone from the side and said to the photojournalists, 'This time, one with my mother.' Later, the actress walked the red carpet with her mother.

Producer Sara Afreen was standing alone on one side of the red carpet. When asked to walk the red carpet, Sara smiled and said, 'I won't go alone. Let your "driver brother" come, I will go after him.' Director Qamar Ahmad Simon went to park the car. After he arrived, they stepped onto the red carpet together.

'Brother, I miss you.

When film actor Mamnun Emon was walking on the red carpet, a woman was standing next to him. Later, he called her and introduced her to everyone, saying, 'This is your sister. She took a picture of us together.' Finally, he said, 'Brother, give me the pictures with your wife.

'Bond, James Bond.'

Ian Fleming's timeless dialogues for his timeless character. Several actors have played the role of this world-famous British Secret Service agent on screen. But the gentleman we'll talk about today is a little different from the rest.

Perhaps the most famous line in the history of cinema was first uttered by him. Standing 6ft 2in tall and of Scottish descent, James Bond fans will already recognize the gentleman.

For those who don't know, know a little more: he won the most prestigious award in film, the Oscar, in 1987, for his performance in the film The Untouchables. According to a survey by People magazine, he was named the sexiest man of the century even at the age of 69!

Before he passed away in 2020 at the age of 90, in addition to seven James Bond films, he gave many box office hits like The Hunt for Red October (1990), The Russian House (1990), The Rock (1996) and Entrapment (1999). Surely the gentleman's face has come to mind by now? Sean Connery.

Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg once said, 'There have only been seven superstar actors in the history of the world. Sean Connery is one of them.' After these words, there is nothing more to say about Connery. But then why suddenly make a story about him! That means something.
