Florence Welch absolutely slayed her Reading Festival headline set! What a powerhouse. She was buzzing about it being her childhood dream festival, the first one she ever wanted to attend, which made the performance feel super personal.
Even had Mark Bowen from IDLES join her for a track. But the real talk of the night was during 'Dog Days Are Over' when she asked everyone to put their phones away and actually *experience* the song. She made a powerful point about how filming takes away from the moment.
It sparked a lot of conversation, and honestly, she's got a point. We sometimes get too caught up documenting instead of living.

PM Modi's Raksha Bandhan celebration at his residence was such a heartwarming sight today! Seeing school kids and members of the Brahma Kumari organization tying rakhis on the PM’s wrist really captures the spirit of this beautiful festival. There was a young girl who brought a peacock rakhi for 'Modi uncle' and another who expressed her dream to become the Prime Minister herself one day, so inspiring!
One student even recited a poem she wrote about various government schemes, showing just how much the younger generation is paying attention to the nation's progress. The PM expressed his gratitude to our 'Nari Shakti' for their constant trust and affection. It is great to see a leader taking time for these personal, cultural moments that emphasize the bond of protection and care.
Whether it was the mentions of Operation Sindoor or the pure joy of the children, the event highlighted the vibrant cultural fabric of India.
Such a wholesome and traditional way to celebrate! #culture #politics #festivals

Prime Minister Modi celebrating Raksha Bandhan at his residence was such a wholesome sight! Seeing him interact with school kids and the Brahma Kumaris sisters really highlights that bond of protection and respect we value so much. One little girl brought a peacock rakhi, and another straight up told him she wants to be the PM one day, talk about big dreams!
There was even a student who recited a poem about government schemes, and you could see how much he appreciated that. He credited the event to 'Nari Shakti' and thanked them for their affection. Regardless of politics, seeing the leader of the country take time for these traditions with the younger generation feels like a nice reminder of our cultural roots.
It's not every day you see kids calling the PM 'Modi uncle' and treating him like family.
Pure festive vibes! #culture #politics #festivals https://thoxt.com/l/scEItW 🔗
