People who take frequent breaks while working are not necessarily less disciplined or productive. Some may simply understand that spending long, uninterrupted hours at work does not mean the mind can maintain the same level of concentration throughout that entire period.
Birthdays have a unique way of making the passage of time feel more noticeable. Unlike an ordinary day, they create clear milestones that divide life into distinct chapters. A person may be 29 one day and 30 the next; while nothing dramatically changes overnight on a biological level, crossing that numerical boundary can carry considerable psychological meaning.

For Susanne Bier, the ultimate purpose of Practical Magic 2 extends beyond the story, its supernatural elements or its star-studded cast. The director hopes the film brings audiences together for the kind of communal experience that she believes defines cinema. Bier is particularly passionate about the difference between watching a movie in a theatre and consuming it alone at home. I mean, that is the essence of cinema, and that is why I believe in cinema and why I believe in this movie: watching a movie with other people is an entirely different experience from watching it on your own. For the director, the shared reactions of an audience are an integral part of the cinematic experience. You sit in a room, you share laughter, you share tears, you share a whole lot of things, and you have an experience with other human beings. Bier believes that this collective experience has become even more meaningful at a time when audiences have increasingly easy access to films on personal devices. And watching a movie at home on your computer or even on your phone is the opposite. You can be engaged, but it doesn't have the joy of being with other people doing it. That desire for togetherness is particularly fitting for a film whose central themes revolve around family, sisterhood and love. Throughout her approach to Practical Magic 2, Bier has emphasised that the magic exists to strengthen the human relationships at the heart of the story. Her hope is that those themes translate into an emotional and entertaining theatrical experience. And that's what I hope for with this movie. I want this movie to have lots of people sharing a fun, joyful, at times sad, but most importantly, really engaging experience. That sentiment also encapsulates Bier's broader approach to the sequel. While Practical Magic 2 has the spectacle and supernatural elements audiences expect, the director has deliberately kept its emotional core grounded in human connections. For Bier, the magic works best when it serves those relationshipsand when it gives audiences a reason to laugh, feel and ultimately experience the film together. As the sequel brings Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman and the world of the Owens family back to the big screen, Bier's ambition is therefore not simply to recreate the past, but to create a new shared cinematic memory for both longtime fans and a new generation.

Five office bearers of a firm booked for cheating several people of Rs 78 lakhs
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 14 (IANS) Popular television and film actress Indira Krishna has slammed Rohit Roys comment over the small screen medium and its actors as she said that forgotten people use such stunts. Slamming Rohit, Indira told IANS, The word 'dustbin' is terrible to use for a veteran actor who himself comes from this medium. Television has given many skilled actors work and a stage to perform so well. The actress, who made a mark in Hindi television with shows like Krishnaben Khakhrawala, Krishnadasi, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Saavi Ki Savaari, Dhruv Tara - Samay Sadi Se Pare, Durga - Atoot Prem Kahani, said: There are many popular directors who are doing films after directing some brilliant shows on television. Well, to each his own. This medium is my plate of food as well as my respect. So that's his view and he can stick to it. Indira added: Or should I say, it's a democratic view. Sometimes people who are forgotten use such stunts to stay relevant, so I guess this is one of those. Television has been, is, and will always be the biggest medium. It reaches every household and gives actors a daily connection with the audience that no other medium can. To demean it after being a part of it for years is disappointing. We should respect the medium that has made us, said the actress, who has worked in films such as Tere Naam, Animal, and will be seen in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana playing Lord Rama's mother Kaushalya. Indira's debut film was an Odia film, Suna Panjuri in 1995, alongside Sidhant Mohapatra. She played Puja, and the film turned out to be the musical hit of the year. She appeared in Trishakti and then appeared in the film Aaj Ka Ravan with Mithun Chakraborty. Later, she appeared in films like Tere Naam, Tathastu, Chatur Singh Two Star, and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty. She appeared in the Marathi film Janiva, directed by her husband, Rajesh Ranshinage.

Punjab Congress slams AAP for misleading people on drugs
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 13 (IANS) Slamming the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, the main Opposition Congress on Sunday alleged that the ruling party is misleading the people on the issue of drugs, systematically persecuting weaker sections and shielding influential figures involved in serious crimes. Welcoming Rajendra Pal Gautam, Chairman of the Central Scheduled Castes Department, state party President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring thanked Rajkumar Verka and Gurpreet Singh Lucky Pakho for their struggle for the rights of marginalised communities. Warring said that under the BJP at the Centre and the AAP government in Punjab, poor Dalit families are falling victim to administrative apathy and targeted exploitation. Raising the tragic suicide of Gulzar Singh, the Congress leaders said Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has expressed concern over the incident. They noted that Gulzar Singhs only fault was speaking out to save his son from drugs and opposing the open sale of narcotics in villages. Instead of taking action against drug traffickers, the administration subjected him to relentless harassment, which ultimately drove him to suicide. Despite the Finance Minister being explicitly named in the dying declaration, no legal action or accountability has been fixed so far, leaving the victim's family running from pillar to post for justice. The Congress leadership also raised the issue of brutal police torture inflicted on Mohanjeet Singh, who was subjected to inhuman cruelty merely for showing black flags during a peaceful, democratic protest. The Congress leaders cited this as clear evidence of an authoritarian regime under AAP rule. Targeting the ruling party directly over law and order, Rajendra Gautam said AAP came to power in 2022 on promises of eradicating drugs and transforming traditional politics within months. He said during its tenure in Delhi, AAP evaded accountability for law and order under the pretext of not having full statehood. However, in Punjab, despite having full control over the police, the drug trade has spiralled out of control. Gautam questioned how drugs could spread to every village and even circulate openly inside Punjabs jails without direct political and administrative patronage.
People in Punjab want development, employment, not jokes: Haryana CM
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 13 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, saying the people there want development, employment, security for industries and solutions to their problems, not jokes, publicity and advertisements. There has never been any shortage of ability or hard work among the people of Punjab, but the policies, intentions and leadership of governments that have failed to provide the state with the right direction have pushed Punjab behind in the race for development, he said. CM Saini was addressing a public meeting in Kakrala village in Patiala. Former Union minister Preneet Kaur, Prof Malkit Singh and other dignitaries were present on the occasion. On the occasion, hundreds of people joined the BJP, and the Chief Minister welcomed them. CM Saini said that although Punjab and Haryana are two separate states, their roots, culture and heritage are one. Paying homage to this great land of Gurus, Pirs and martyrs, he said the people of Punjab are now asking why Punjab has fallen behind despite having fertile land, hardworking people and immense potential. The Chief Minister said at one time, Punjab was counted among the most prosperous states in the country. Haryana, which came into existence nearly 19 years after Punjab was formed, today has moved far ahead of Punjab in terms of economic progress. In 2025-26, Haryanas real economic growth rate is estimated at 9.5 per cent, while Punjabs growth rate is only 6.1 per cent. Thus, Haryana is progressing 3.4 percentage points faster than Punjab. Similarly, in 2026-27, Haryanas economy is estimated at approximately Rs 15.18 lakh crore, while Punjabs is estimated at approximately Rs 9.81 lakh crore. There is a difference of approximately Rs 5.38 lakh crore in the economic size of the two states. This difference is due to the right policy, clear intent and accountable leadership, said CM Saini. He said in 2023-24 Haryanas share in the countrys GDP was approximately 3.6 per cent, while Punjabs share was approximately 2.4 per cent. Haryanas per capita income was estimated at 176.8 per cent of the national average, while Punjabs was estimated at 106.7 per cent. The Chief Minister said at one time, Punjabs per capita income used to be nearly twice the national average, but the situation has changed today. He said the people of Punjab wanted an answer as to why the states economic potential is not being fully utilised. The Chief Minister said the Aam Aadmi Party government has given Punjab more publicity than work and more advertisements than results. Repeating false claims does not strengthen an economy. An economy becomes strong when industries receive security, youth get employment, traders have confidence, farmers receive remunerative prices, and the benefits of government schemes reach people directly without discrimination, he said. The CM said, It is the governments responsibility to go among the people, listen to their problems and resolve them. Jokes work in cinema halls, but among the people, the discussion is about work, development and solutions to public problems. He said the Congress had also made big promises to the people of Punjab but failed to fulfil them. The Aam Aadmi Party also made numerous promises, but they remained merely promises, and people did not get relief from their problems. The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP government in Haryana has been working to fulfil the promises made to the people. Out of the 217 promises made during the 2024 Assembly elections, 70 have already been fulfilled within 18 months of the governments tenure.

Greater Noida: Three, including woman, held for duping people with fake gold ornaments
Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Sep 12 (IANS) A Bisrakh police team in Greater Noida on Saturday busted a gang allegedly involved in cheating people of lakhs of rupees by showing them fake gold ornaments and arrested three persons, including a woman. The police have recovered Rs 1.20 lakh in cash and a gold-chain ornament allegedly linked to the cheating incident from the accused. Two fixed deposits (FDs) of Rs 2 lakh each belonging to the accused have also been frozen. According to the police, the accused posed as labourers and lured victims by claiming that they had found gold and silver during excavation. They would then gain the victim's confidence before offering to sell the allegedly discovered jewellery at a much lower price. The case came to light after a complaint was lodged at Bisrakh police station. The complainant alleged that two unidentified men and a woman had duped his father by handing him a bag containing fake gold ornaments and taking lakhs of rupees from him. To crack the case, police used local intelligence and analysed CCTV footage from the area. During the investigation, they gathered crucial leads about the suspects and subsequently arrested all three from the road leading from Char Murti towards ATS Roundabout on September 12. The accused have been identified as Mani, a woman aged around 40, Mohan, 43, and Dharma, 45. Mani and Mohan are originally residents of JJ Colony in Delhi's Uttam Nagar and were currently staying in Purana Haibatpur village under Bisrakh police station limits. Dharma, a resident of Bhagirathi Vihar in Delhi's Bhajanpura was also staying in Purana Haibatpur. During interrogation, the accused allegedly revealed their modus operandi. They would introduce themselves as labourers and approach unsuspecting people, claiming that they had found gold or silver while carrying out excavation work. After gaining the victim's confidence, they would take one or two days before showing fake gold or silver ornaments. They would then offer to sell the ornaments at a fraction of their market value, exploiting the victim's desire to buy gold at a cheap price. Once the victim agreed to the deal and handed over the money, the accused would give them fake ornaments and flee. Police are now questioning the accused to ascertain how many similar incidents they have committed in the past and identify other members who may be involved in the gang.

Quote of the day by Fyodor Dostoevsky: In a thought-provoking quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky, the paradox of human appreciation is unveiled. We tend to honor people's contributions only posthumously. Pride and envy often hinder our ability to recognize each others value in real-time. This poignant reminder encourages today's hurried society to express love and gratitude while loved ones are alive, fostering deeper connections and minimizing regrets.

New Delhi , September 12: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Friday lashed out at the US and Israel over the war that started in February this year and accused them of trying to bully Iran. He said Iran will never surrender and will push back. Pezeshkian arrived in New Delhi earlier on Friday to attend the 18th BRICS Summit. The Iranian President, who addressed Indian religious leaders, intellectuals and business leaders on Friday evening, said Iran has been able to successfully stand against Israel and the United States at the same time. They want to bully us, and we do not want to be bullied. We never kneel down before them. If they push us, we push back. They claim that they are advocates of human rights. In truth, they are the devils who are the true terrorists, because they killed 168 schoolchildren in one instant, thanks to their modern technologies. You call us terrorists? What about you, who kill human beings, bomb scientists, and attack schools and hospitals? he said, according to translation of his speech by a translator. If you are man enough, just fight the soldiers, the military people. Why do you target infrastructure and people's livelihoods?... The people of Iran will not surrender. We believe in human values, and we believe that all who liveall humanityenjoy equal rights, he added, according to the translator. Iran and the US traded strikes earlier this week. Iran said it launched retaliatory missile strikes targeting Jordan on Wednesday, hitting the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base used by American forces, following an earlier US military attack on Iranian vessels. In an official statement reported by the state-backed IRNA news agency, Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced that they struck the American Al-Azraq base in Jordan with heavy missile strikes as part of a designated punitive operation. Shortly after the barrage, the Jordanian military announced that its air defence network intercepted and neutralised the incoming projectiles. According to an official army statement, Jordan's defence systems detected 20 incoming ballistic missiles, successfully destroying 18 of them, while two impacted unpopulated terrain. The escalation followed actions by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), which confirmed that American forces targeted five Iranian tankers connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Tuesday, September 8. The action came in retaliation against repeated missile assaults directed at a US Navy warship over the preceding 48 hours. CENTCOM specified that US assets struck four crude oil carriers situated in the Gulf of Oman alongside a fifth vessel near Kharg Island inside the Persian Gulf. In his remarks at the event in the national capital, Representative of Irans Supreme Leader in India, Abdul Majid Hakeem Ilahi, compared Iran and India to being like two rivers contributing to the sea of kindness and civilisation. India and Iran are located in two different territories. However, in the geography of culture and history, they are pages of the same booktwo rivers that are from the same origin, which have, for centuries, been contributing to the sea of kindness and civilisation...Therefore, when were talking about Iran and India, were not just talking about two geographies. We are actually talking about two huge branches of the same strong civilization, he said. Ambassador of Iran to India, Mohammad Fathali, pointed to the shared history between the two countries. What is important for us is that we, as the Islamic Republic of Iran, have a long historical relationship with India, and it is deeply rooted in history. This has provided ground for the development of activities in other areas as well. During the past several months, we have been attacked by the cowardly US and the fascist regime. We have lost great people, the Ambassador said.
