Vikrant Massey reveals the simple mantra behind his banner Homemade Stories; says, I wanted to tell stories that resonate with people

National Award-winning actor Vikrant Massey is steadily expanding his creative footprint beyond acting. His production house, Homemade Stories, is built on a belief in keeping storytelling simple, honest and meaningful, and the actor-producer has now spoken about the thinking that drives it. Explaining his vision for the banner, Massey said, I wanted to tell stories that resonate with people without complicating matters. My motto has always been, less is more. Cut the frills, the superfluous, and just keep it as simple as possible. Asked whether Homemade Stories leans towards a particular genre, Massey indicated that he prefers to stay flexible. There are certain strengths every creative has, but I would not want to restrict myself to them, because it's an ever-evolving market. The idea is to go out there and tell good stories that are worth people's time and money. That philosophy has already found expression in the production house's first project, Musafir Cafe, which has received a warm response from audiences. Massey drew appreciation not only for backing the project as a producer but also for his performance and the character he portrayed. The project is considered an important milestone in his transition from actor to producer. The response to Musafir Cafe has also travelled beyond the screen. Massey is now taking the concept to the mountains, with plans to open two new Musafir Cafes in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The move suggests an effort to extend the world of the project into a real-life experience for audiences. Looking ahead, Massey has an interesting slate. He will next be seen in White, in which he plays Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. The role adds to a career that has moved from acclaimed performances to a National Award win and, more recently, to an increasingly hands-on role behind the camera. Together, these ventures point to Massey's widening creative ambitions. With Homemade Stories, he is gaining another platform to back stories he believes are worth telling, though how the banner shapes its future slate remains to be seen.

People sleep in peace because Assam Police stand guard 24/7: Himanta Sarma

Digital Desk | Guwahati, Oct 1 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday paid tribute to the personnel of the Assam Police on Assam Police Day, acknowledging their round-the-clock service and role in maintaining peace and security across the state. In a post on X, CM Sarma said the people of Assam are able to live in peace because police personnel remain on duty around the clock to protect them. The people of Assam are in peace because someone in uniform is standing on guard, 24*7, the Chief Minister said. On the occasion of Assam Police Day, CM Sarma saluted every officer and personnel of the Assam Police for serving the state with courage, compassion and an unwavering sense of duty. We are proud of you, he said in his message. Assam Police Day is observed to recognise the contribution and sacrifices of the state's police force and to highlight its role in maintaining law and order, protecting citizens and responding to security challenges. The Assam Police have a long history of operating in a complex security environment, including challenges related to insurgency, border management, organised crime, drug trafficking and law and order. Over the years, the force has also expanded its focus beyond conventional policing, with greater emphasis on community engagement, technology-driven policing, cybercrime prevention and emergency response. The Chief Minister's message comes as Assam continues to strengthen its policing and security infrastructure amid the state's strategic location bordering Bhutan and Bangladesh and its proximity to several northeastern states. The Assam Police also play an important role in maintaining security during elections, major public events and natural disasters, besides regular crime prevention and investigation. CM Sarma's Assam Police Day message sought to underline the human and professional commitment of police personnel who remain deployed at various locations, often away from their families, as part of their duty. The Chief Minister's tribute comes as the state marks the occasion by honouring the force's service and reaffirming the importance of police-public cooperation in maintaining peace and security.

Dharapuram bypoll campaign: Enthusiastic welcome by workers, people to TN CM Vijay

Digital Desk | Coimbatore, Sep 30 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, C. Joseph Vijay, received an enthusiastic welcome from Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) workers and members of the public on Wednesday as he arrived to campaign for the Dharapuram Assembly bypoll. CM Vijay flew from Chennai on a private aircraft before beginning his road journey to Dharapuram in Tiruppur district, where he was scheduled to address a public meeting in support of TVK candidate Sathyabama. The visit marked C. Joseph Vijay's first arrival in Coimbatore since taking over as Chief Minister. Party workers and residents gathered along the route to greet him, with people from across the Kongu region joining the crowds. Many had been waiting in the scorching heat, hoping to catch a glimpse of CM Vijay as his campaign vehicle passed through their localities. The reception extended beyond Coimbatore, drawing supporters from surrounding areas ahead of the Dharapuram meeting. After reaching the airport, CM Vijay held a discussion with the District Collector and other government officials. He then walked a short distance along the road before boarding a campaign vehicle for the onward journey. Police made security arrangements along the route, placing barricades on both sides of the road to regulate the crowds. Personnel were deployed to prevent supporters from crossing the roadway as the Chief Ministers vehicle moved towards the meeting venue. The arrangements kept those waiting to see CM Vijay behind the barricades, allowing the campaign vehicle to proceed along the route. Crowds lined both sides of the road as party workers and members of the public awaited his arrival. From Coimbatore airport, CM Vijays route to Dharapuram passed through Chinniyampalayam, Neelambur, Kaniyur, Karumathampatti, Somanur, Karanampettai and Palladam. The journey took him through several localities before reaching the public meeting venue in Tiruppur district. The Dharapuram visit is centred on the partys campaign for Sathyabama, who is contesting the forthcoming Assembly bypoll. The crowds gathering since morning reflected the anticipation surrounding his visit, particularly among supporters waiting along the road rather than at the meeting venue alone. Officials said CM Vijay would return to Chennai by private aircraft at 7 p.m. after completing the public meeting and his campaign engagement in Dharapuram.

Psychology says people who clean the kitchen slab right after cooking may be doing this to feel in control; know the surprising mental habit behind it

In many Indian homes, the day ends in the kitchen. The last roti is served, the gas is turned off, and then comes a small ritual, using a damp cloth, a few firm strokes across the slab, and a final look to make sure everything shines. While some people do it once to finally clean the slab or the utensils, there are others who do it again and again before they can finally switch off the light.Most of us have noticed this habit in someone close to us, or in ourselves, and they cannot sit down calmly without making the kitchen look spik and span, be it a mother who cannot sit down until the counter is spotless, a roommate who wipes the stove while the food is still being eaten.Even though we often tend to shrug it off as just how they are, or joke that they are obsessed with cleanliness, but small habits often carry bigger stories, and the way we treat one tiny patch of the kitchen can say something about how our minds handle pressure, clutter, unfinished jobs, and the need to feel in control.Researchers have spent years studying the psychology behind this, and there are surprising reasons why this happens.

Bigg Boss 20: Aamrapali Dubey says Dinesh Lal Yadav is convincing her to marry someone; says, People think he and I are dating

Aamrapali Dubey has addressed the long-standing rumours surrounding her equation with Bhojpuri actor Dinesh Lal Yadav, popularly known as Nirahua, on the latest episode of Bigg Boss 20. While the two have often been linked romantically, they have maintained that they share a close friendship. Amrapali opened up about their bond while speaking to fellow contestant Love Gill. Aamrapali and Dinesh have known each other since the actress entered the Bhojpuri film industry. She made her Bhojpuri film debut in 2014 with Nirahua Hindustani, which also starred Dinesh. Over the years, their professional association has developed into a close friendship, often leading to speculation about their relationship. Aamrapali Dubey on dating rumours with Nirahua Speaking about her equation with Dinesh, Aamrapali explained that their friendship has reached a point where they can understand each other without saying much. She also addressed the public perception that the two are dating. Even today, our friendship is such that I dont need to tell him anything. I just look at him, and he understands and starts laughing. Friendships should be so unfiltered. People think he and I are dating, and that poor guy has gone crazy convincing me that I should marry someone. How do I explain to him? Men think its very easy to get married. They dont understand our side. We will have to leave all that we have earned behind and go. Men find this idea of getting married very easy, she said. Aamrapali and Dinesh's longstanding bond Aamrapali and Dinesh's association dates back to the actress's early years in Bhojpuri cinema.

Articles 370, 35A deeply tied to sentiments of J&K people: PDP MLA Aga Syed Muntazir Mehdi

Srinagar, September 29 : PDP MLA Aga Syed Muntazir Mehdi on Tuesday said the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly was the sole forum to raise and advocate for issues facing the region, asserting that Articles 370 and 35A were deeply tied to the sentiments and emotions of its people. Speaking on the autumn session of the J&K Legislative Assembly, Mehdi said the legislators had sought to raise people's concerns in the House and work towards finding solutions to them. As far as the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly is concerned, it is the sole forum where we can present and advocate for the issues facing the region. During this session, we have sought to raise the people's concerns in the House and work towards solutions to these issues. Articles 370 and 35A were not merely constitutional provisions; they were deeply tied to the sentiments and emotions of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he told ANI. We continue to advocate for their restoration. The BJP is the party that removed these provisions, so expecting it to restore them is unrealistic, he added. National Conference MLA Abdul Majeed Larmi said the Question Hour went well but alleged that BJP members created an uproar in the House. The Question Hour went well. The uproar was created by BJP members; whether in Jammu or in Srinagar, that is simply their modus operandi. They will continue to do this, as they still have three years remaining in their term, Larmi said. Congress MLA Nizam Uddin Bhat said the session was aimed at ensuring that proceedings moved calmly and smoothly while allowing legislators to highlight issues and hold the government accountable. This session aimed to ensure that proceedings moved calmly and smoothly, allowing us to highlight issues and hold the government accountable. Raising these issues fosters public awareness and reassures people that their representatives are advocating for them effectively, he said. Unfortunately, there was significant uproar over certain matters, resulting in a great deal of lost time. Despite this, the Speaker tried to keep the House functioning... It has now become a trend where jingoism and shouting prevail, and aggressive posturing seems to be seen as the only way to get things done, Bhat added. Meanwhile, BJP MLA R S Pathania said his party wanted issues to be resolved through discussion and deliberation, while alleging that the ruling National Conference was responsible for disruptions. The BJP seeks a resolution to every issue through discussion, deliberation, and debate. They repeatedly claim that their powers have been curtailed... The solution is for us to sit together more often and engage in greater discussion and deliberation so that the true purpose of this House can be upheld, Pathania said. It was we who raised questions regarding the allocation of vehicles, and ultimately the issue was resolved; we brought up many such matters. The problem, however, lies with the National Conference; the ruling party itself is causing disruptions, he added. The remarks came amid discussions in the Assembly over Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's resolution seeking the immediate and urgent restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. The resolution referred to earlier resolutions passed by the House in 2000 and 2024. Several legislators had also sought amendments to the resolution to include references to Articles 370 and 35A. Mehdi had moved an amendment seeking an expression of deep anguish and disapproval over measures initiated after August 5, 2019, including the cessation of Articles 370 and 35A and the reorganisation of the erstwhile state into the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly's autumn session, which began on September 21, is set to conclude on September 30 after seven sittings. During the session, legislators raised issues including employment, reservation, regularisation of workers, power tariffs and other public concerns.
