2 min read New Delhi Feb 26, 2026 08:16 PM IST WhatsApp is great for planning parties and sharing festival greetings. (Express Photo) WhatsApp, one of the most used instant messaging apps in the world, has a ton of features that can help you manage your plans and chats with friends and family this Holi. If you use the Meta-owned messaging app to stay in touch with others, here’s how to use it to make this Holi more vibrant. Use Group chat features for planning Coordinating Holi plans in a group can be tiresome and overwhelming at times, as people may send a ton of texts that bury important things. Instead of back-and-forth messages, users can simply record what they want to say by starting a Voice chat and letting everyone jump when they are free. The feature is really handy for things like making decisions without any ringing interruptions or missed calls. Another way WhatsApp can simplify your Holi planning is by using member tags to specify each person’s role in the party, sending Text Sticker and setting up Event Reminders. Add a splash to your WhatsApp story Last year, WhatsApp introduced a new feature that allows users to

Spring has sprung and so has my waistline. Time to start eating healthy. HEALTHY. What does that word even mean? Healthy used to mean good for you. But now it’s splintered into so many definitions that it’s simply impossible to keep up. Cooking with style!PHOTO BY CATHY PINKSY Every Monday, I swear an oath to “eat healthy” before my feet hit the floor…then, immediately second-guess myself. What does healthy mean this week? The ’90s kid in me insists it’s low-fat, but today fat is our friend. Maybe it’s low-calorie? No, I’ll count macros. But at 48, I’m not doing math at mealtime, or really any time. Clean eating? Sounds virtuous, but can anyone actually define “clean”? Low carb? Bread is the enemy! Except bread is pure joy, so that won’t work. Gluten-free bread? That stuff is full of sugar, and sugar is poison. Wait, sugar is pleasure. Maybe I’ll just eat less sugar, although that usually ends with me face-first in all the sugar. I’ll give up vodka…until the weekend. That’s the best I can do. A girl’s gotta live. I’ll just eat healthy in moderation, between noon and 7 p.m. because intermittent fasting is the only healthy way.

Parents told to check phones for 'school war' posts Bea Swallow and Kirsten Robertson, Bristol Getty Images Police said the increased police patrols were a "precaution" Parents are being advised by schools to check their children's phones in light of a social media trend they say is creating an "arbitrary rivalry" and encouraging violence between pupils. Posts circulating on platforms such as TikTok and Snapchat have divided schools into "red" and "blue" categories, referencing a "Bristol War" for pupils in Years 7, 8, 9 and 10. Avon and Somerset Police said it would be carrying out reassurance patrols in Bristol as a "precaution" and added it was "monitoring the situation extremely closely". The force said there was no evidence to suggest any incidents linked to the "national" social media trend had occurred in the city. Ch Insp Keith Smith said he understood the posts would "cause concern to communities". "We will have a heightened presence in several areas over the next few days which will include reassurance patrols at schools listed on the social media posts, and contingency plans will also be in place should we need them," he said. Avon and Somerset Police added it had been in contact

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – University of Kentucky point guard Tonie Morgan has been selected to the Southeastern Conference Community Service Team, it was announced by the league office Wednesday. Morgan is a natural leader on the court but is just as much a leader off the court. The point guard has signed up for just about every community service opportunity put in front of her this season, despite only being on campus and calling Lexington home for a short while. And she does it all with a contagious smile and affectious energy. While she is leading the nation and set the single-season school record in dimes this season, her best assists have come off the court. During the Christmas break, Morgan dished out very, merry charitable gifts for kiddos in her hometown of Tallahassee, Florida. The Wildcat gifted five local athletes $100 gift cards to Academy Sports to ease the burden of equipment expenses. She also donated $500 worth of winter coats to families in need, while she also donated to The Alexus House, a cause close to her heart. Morgan also teamed up with Anthony Robinson, a Missouri men’s basketball player from Tallahassee, to give Florida High new scorers tables
