Love has no age and an elderly couple from Bengal is proof. Pictures of the couple pandal hopping during Durga Pujas went viral after they were shared on Facebook by Anjan Banerjee. And we must add that the photos are just so cute.
The elderly man wore a dhoti-kurta while his wife looked beautiful in a saree. The couple roamed around puja pandals while holding hands and also clicked pictures. What's even more adorable is the fact that the couple was also photographed taking a selfie in front of the pandal.
In his caption for the post, Anjan wrote in Bengali that the couple's daughter resides abroad and could not make it for the Durga Pujas. "Love has no age limit. Only two souls who want to keep each other well and happy," an excerpt from Anjan's post in Bengali reads.
This is heartwarming, right?
The internet is in love with the elderly couple as the post has garnered over 8,000 likes and has been shared almost 6,000 times. Netizens posted heart emoticons in the comments section and are all smiles after seeing the pictures.

Are you a fan of the Final Destination series? If yes, then you must have watched a scene in the fifth installation of the series where a bridge collapses into water. The scene is quite scary and sets the mood of the entire movie.
Well something quite similar happened today in Taiwan, when a bridge collapsed as an oil tanker was trying to cross it. Because of the collapse, the truck went crashing onto the fishing boats below, injuring at least 14 people, according to local reports.
Reportedly, the 460 ft-long Nanfang’ao Bridge collapsed at about about 9.30 am in Nanfang'ao Fishing Port in Su'ao Township of Yilan county. The bridge was completed in 1998 and spanned a water body in the fishing village.
The video of the bridge collapsing is going viral online and it is the scariest thing you will see today.

Here’s another video of the bridge collapsing shot from the docks. Watch it till the end:
In the video, one can see that an entire stretch of the bridge suddenly collapses, sending huge waves into the water. The bridge was near a dock, so boats were also below it when it collapsed. Even the oil tanker crashed onto a fishing boat trapping many people.
According to The Independent, people are feared to have been trapped under the bridge and many have been injured.
Day before the incident happened, the area was hit by Typhoon Mitag. After the video went viral online, a lot of people prayed for the victims and for everyone’s safety.

An old video of a herd of elephants from Karnataka is going viral online and the reason will leave you heartbroken. The video was shared on Twitter by IFS officer Parveen Kaswan and shows a herd of elephants trying to jump a wall by crossing a busy road because they couldn’t find a way.
The video was shared by Parveen with the caption, "Have you have ever seen #elephants jumping a wall. Things they have to do when nowhere to go. When blocked from all sides. This Old video from Hossur will make you wonder."
The clip is from a village in Karnataka called Hossur. It begins with a herd of elephants standing on the side of the road in a residential area as bystanders watch them. The elephants can be seen struggling to find a way as they are blocked from all the sides. When they can’t figure out something, they just turn and one by one jump a wall to get inside the jungle. An old elephant can also be seen in the video trying to push a baby elephant to help it cross the wall.
After the video was shared on Twitter, many netizens took to the comment section to talk about the sad state of things. One user wrote, "Shame that we humans have created such a situation for them."
