Pankaj Tripathi believes the growing international appeal of Indian cinema is closely linked to filmmakers and writers returning to local stories, cultures and experiences. In a recent conversation with Hindustan Times, the actor reflected on how Indian films have increasingly found audiences beyond the country, with both mainstream and independent productions making their presence felt at international film festivals, award shows and overseas box offices. According to Pankaj, Indian cinemas biggest strength lies in its ability to present emotions and cultural experiences authentically. The core value of Indian emotion is empathy, said the two-time National Award winner. He pointed out that Indias diverse traditions and numerous festivals across different regions offer filmmakers a rich source of stories. So, when one incorporates that in stories, our culture, our emotions in an authentic manner, then that becomes global. That is the strength of Indian stories, he added. Pankaj also recalled a period when Indian films became heavily focused on urban and multiplex audiences. He feels that this shift distanced cinema from the wider Indian experience. There was a time when our stories became a little too urban. Jab waise writer the jo Mumbai mein baith ke Bharat ko samajhte the (we had writers who understood India sitting in Mumbai), he said. The actor believes the scenario has changed with filmmakers arriving in Mumbai from smaller cities and towns, bringing their own cultural backgrounds and perspectives to storytelling. Now, time has changed. Bhilai se Anurag Basu aa gaye, Jamshedpur se Imtiaz Ali aa gaye aur Allahabad se Tigmanshu Dhulia aa gaye. These people have come after understanding literature and culture and after seeing the world, he added. Meanwhile, Pankaj is set to appear in Ohh My Dog, an experimental film featuring a dog as its protagonist. Discussing its message, he said, There are people who dont like dogs or animals. The issue is that they fear them. But once you get to understand the animal, the fear will leave your body. Directed by Amit Rai, Ohh My Dog releases in theatres on August 7. Pankaj will next reprise his role as Akhandanand Tripathi in Mirzapur: The Film, which is scheduled to release in September.

Psychology research suggests people who scroll their phones while eating may be doing more than passing time. Studies show most people find being alone with their thoughts genuinely uncomfortable, and the phone offers a ready escape. Research ranging from a 2014 University of Virginia study to a 2010 Harvard paper builds a case that mealtimes are among the last unstructured moments left in the day, and many people fill them immediately.

Psychology says people who immediately Google symptoms aren't always hypochondriacs
Psychology suggests that immediately searching online for symptoms isn't automatically a sign of hypochondria. More often, it reflects a natural desire to reduce uncertainty, make sense of unfamiliar experiences, and protect one's health. While online information should never replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional, seeking answers is a common and understandable response when something feels out of the ordinary.

Associated District Hospital GMC Handwara without dialysis centre, people suffer
The absence of a dialysis centre at the Associated District Hospital, GMC Handwara has been causing immense hardships to patients. The residents said that since the hospital caters to patients from across the district, the lack of a dialysis centre has forced kidney patients to suffer unnecessarily. Since my father is suffering from kidney failure, I have to get his dialysis done every week by paying over Rs 2000 at a private dialysis centre at Sopore. Had there been a government sponsored dialysis centre in Handwara, I would not have to pay the amount, said a local. I am unable to figure out how a district hospital has been deprived of a dialysis centre. This tells about the callous attitude of authorities towards this health institution, he added. Apni Party leader Sofi Irfan said that patients suffering from kidney failure are facing severe hardships due to the absence of a dialysis centre at District Hospital (DH) Handwara. He said that officials at the Associated District Hospital, Government Medical College (GMC) Handwara had earlier assured that a dialysis centre would be established after the hospital was shifted to its new building. However, nearly two years have passed since the hospital was shifted to the new building, but the dialysis centre has yet to be established due to reasons best known to the authorities. Reacting to the concern Superintendent Associated District Hospital GMC Handwara Dr Aijaz Ahmad Bhat said that a dialysis centre already stands approved which will be installed soon.

Psychology says people who always stay enthusiastic and try to enjoy every moment of life aren't necessarily deeply happy. Constant positivity can sometimes hide anxiety, grief, fear or emotional discomfort. Psychology explains that avoiding negative emotions may prevent people from processing them. Emotional health involves accepting sadness, stress, anger and boredom instead of forcing happiness or using enthusiasm to meet social expectations.

Srinagar, Aug 5:Apni Party Provincial President Mohammad Ashraf Mir on Wednesday said that the party wants the Centre to initiate a meaningful dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially the youth, to address their issues and grievances. He also urged the Government of India (GoI) to restore the rights and dignity of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. In a press release, he said that the youth feel insecure and helpless, and therefore a meaningful dialogue is essential to bridge the trust deficit. Mir made these remarks while addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in Srinagar, as per the statement. He said, Today, on the seventh anniversary of the events of August 5, 2019, Apni Party passed a resolution at every district headquarters demanding the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood and other constitutional rights. On this day in 2019, the Centre took away our rights and dignity. Apni Party will continue to strive for the restoration of all the rights that existed prior to August 5, 2019, including Articles 370 and 35A. He further said, We demand that the Centre immediately restore Jammu and Kashmir's statehood, as promised by the Hon'ble Prime Minister and the Hon'ble Home Minister on the floor of the House. Demanding that the existing residency requirement for domicile eligibility be increased from 15 years to 50 years, Mohammad Ashraf Mir said, Following the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, the Apni Party leadership, during its meeting with the Central leadership in New Delhi, successfully persuaded the Centre to safeguard the exclusive rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir over land and government jobs. As a result of these efforts, the domicile law was eventually implemented. He added, However, we urge that the extending residency requirement for domicile eligibility should be enhanced from 15 years to 50 years. We also demand that these protections be backed by a constitutional guarantee to ensure the permanent safeguarding of the land and employment rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Mir said that after the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, it was said that Jammu and Kashmir would witness accelerated development and greater employment opportunities. However, the reality is that seven years later, Jammu and Kashmir has the highest unemployment rate in the country, while the region continues to face a significant development deficit, he said. He said that the police prevented the party's leaders from their movement in districts such as Anantnag, Shopian, Baramulla, and Pulwama. As a result, the resolution could not be passed in those districts. However, it was successfully passed by every other district body across Jammu and Kashmir. During the press conference, Mohammad Ashraf Mir was flanked by several party leaders including partys Chief Spokesperson & State Secretary Muntazir Mohiuddin, State Secretary and Spokesperson Dr. Harbaksh Singh, and others.
People of J&K have rejected Aug 5, 2019 decisions: Dr Farooq Abdullah
Srinagar, Aug 5: The Jammu & Kashmir National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah has described August 5, 2019 as one of the darkest days in India's democratic history, saying the decisions taken on that day stripped Jammu & Kashmir of its constitutional guarantees, political identity and statehood. In a party press release, he said the people of Jammu & Kashmir have ejected the August 5 decisions from the very first day and continue to stand firmly against what he termed unilateral and unconstitutional measures. He asserted that the National Conference would continue its peaceful and democratic struggle for the restoration of the constitutional guarantees, democratic rights and full-fledged statehood of Jammu & Kashmir. Dr Farooq said the National Conference-led government reaffirmed its commitment by making it its first legislative priority to pass a resolution in the Legislative Assembly rejecting the August 5 decisions and seeking the restoration of Jammu & Kashmir's constitutional position and statehood. Launching a sharp attack on the BJP, Dr Farooq said that the party continues to promote proxy political formations to divide the people's mandate and weaken their collective voice. Referring to the 2014 Assembly elections, he said the National Conference had warned that the PDP's alliance with the BJP would prove detrimental to Jammu & Kashmir, ultimately culminating in the constitutional changes of August 5, 2019. He said the National Conference has a historic legacy of securing democratic rights and social justice for the people and reaffirmed that the party would never compromise on safeguarding Jammu & Kashmir's identity, dignity and constitutional rights. He appealed to the people to remain united and strengthen J&K National Conference to achieve the restoration of the rights taken away on August 5, 2019.
Psychology says people who like to do charity every now and then aren't always seeking praise or recognition.

Occasional giving can also be influenced by specific situations, relatable stories, social cues and the desire to respond to an immediate human need.
