'Kenda' movie review: A provocative take on Bengalurus underworld with absurdist flair
Sahadev Kelvadi's Kenda ventures into the tumultuous underbelly of Bengaluru in the late 90s and early 2000s, using an absurdist lens to critique societal decay and political corruption. At its core is Keshava, played by Bharath, whose journey from a factory worker to a figure in the criminal underworld parallels broader societal breakdowns. The narrative is rich in period-specific details and cultural references, evoking the era through visuals and references like Debasis Mohanty and Urmila Matondkar. One of the film's defining scenes involves Keshava and a child finding purpose through cricket, encapsulating the narrative's tone. While aesthetically commendable, the film's stylistic choices sometimes overshadow its substantive story. It boldly criticises political corruption and societal breakdowns, focusing on disillusionment among disenfranchised youth. The absurdist approach highlights urban chaos and moral quandaries faced by individuals navigating corrupt systems. Despite its thematic ambition, Kenda faces challenges. Its narrative is coherent but possibly a bit too complex for those accustomed to conventional storytelling. Sahadev's absurdist approach focuses more on social commentary than audience engagement, which might deter viewers who prefer straightforward narratives. This thematic depth risks overshadowing emotional development, which is crucial for compelling cinema. The portrayal of media influence, particularly through Narasimha Shastry (Vinod Ravindran), underscores power dynamics and societal interests, integrating references to the lines from the Bhagavad Gita. However, at times, the film's treatment of these elements may feel heavy-handed, reducing nuanced exploration to overt allegory. It captures the emergence of electronic media and contrasts it with contemporary sensationalism, reflecting on substantial issues like farmers' protests. Visually, Kenda immerses viewers in its period setting, capturing cultural nuances for authenticity. Performances, notably Bharath's portrayal of Keshava, adeptly convey internal conflicts and external pressures. Supporting characters also contribute to enriching Keshava's journey on screen. The film offers a thought-provoking examination of crime, politics, and personal integrity amidst urban decay. Its use of absurdism provides a distinctive perspective and its critical stance on societal issues is commendable. And while the execution may keep it from being a film that resonates with everyone, the film offers plenty for viewers seeking thought-provoking cinema to chew on. Kenda Director : Sahadev Kelvadi Cast: Bharath B V, Rekha Kudligi, Gopalkrishna Deshpande, Deepti Nagendra, Pranav and Vinod Ravindran Rating : 3/5
'Roopanthara' movie review: Celebrating the enduring spirit of human stories
True to its title, Mithilesh Edavalath's Roopanthara , an anthology featuring a stellar cast including Raj B Shetty, invites us to ponder the metamorphic transformation of a caterpillar into a resplendent butterfly right at the beginning. Will the caterpillar remain ensnared in its current state, or will it transcend its limitations and emerge as a magnificent butterfly? The film deals with a similar dilemmaone of stagnation versus transformationthrough its four interwoven tales. The beginning of the film, where an elderly man observes a caterpillar forming its chrysalise, is in stark contrast to a once lush and vibrant world that has now succumbed to stagnation and decay. This decline into a wasteland raises significant questions about the disintegration of virtue, the fall of civilisations, and the erosion of integrity. In a future where pristine air and water are relics of the past, the old man wanders through the bleak ruins, finding solace in narrating stories. Mithilesh Edavalath's Roopanthara offers an immersive cinematic journey with an eye for detail and meticulously told stories, celebrating Bengaluru's multifaceted identity. Before we get into the old mans tales, Midhun Mukundan's evocative score and Pravin Shriyan's striking cinematography deserve recognition. Mukundans compositions and Shriyans visuals cut across diverse settings, capturing emotional highs and lows with precision, enriching the anthology. The old man's stories revolve around an elderly couple (Somshekar Bolegaon and Hanumakka) who embark on a city adventure from Bagalkot, only to face heartbreaking news that tests their resilience and love; a beggar (Lekha Naidu) accused of child kidnapping, exposing deep societal prejudices due to their differing appearances; a rowdy (Raj B Shetty) encountering a stranger one fateful night, leading to a tragic event that forces him to confront his violent lifestyle; and a troubled young man (Anjan Bharadwaj) wrestling with childhood trauma through a violent, drug-fueled game, mirroring his inner turmoil and self-destruction. Though Roopanthara presents itself as an anthology, the stories intertwine around a common theme: the human struggle for redemption, justice, and love amid adversity. The old mans journey through a ravaged world, with storytelling as his refuge, highlights the timeless power of narratives. These interconnected tales of struggle and redemption offer a deep critique of human nature and our quest for change, making Roopanthara a deeply affecting cinematic experience. The film masterfully evokes a wide range of emotions, creating a poignant symphony of human experiences that is both breathtaking and devastating. Mithileshs direction ensures each emotionally charged moment is stitched with authenticity, urging viewers to confront their empathy. Every actor in the film paints a vivid yet struggling picture, including notable performances by Bharath BG and Gireesh Jatti. Mithilesh and Raj B Shettys combined efforts bring this evocative story to life, shaping Roopanthara into a captivating journey. Amid these intricate narratives, the enigmatic storyteller stands out, delivering a surprising twist. Roopanthara Director: Mithilesh Edavalath Cast: Raj B Shetty, Anjan Bharadwaj, Lekha Naidu, Somshekar Bolegaon and Hanumakka, Bharath BG and Gireesh Jatti Rating : 3.5/5
Karnataka HC upholds age-based exemption in teacher transfers
BENGALURU: Observing that providing age-based exemption in the transfer of teachers is an established practice, and the decision-making authority should consider such reasonable, legitimate and valid requests of teachers while making transfers, the Karnataka High Court dismissed two petitions filed by the Department of School Education and Literacy. It questioned the order passed by the Karnataka State Administrative Tribunal, which quashed the transfer of two female teachers, identifying them as excess, despite them having attained 55 years and 58 years, respectively. The crux of the case is that provision of Section 10(1)(vi) of the Karnataka State Civil Services (Regulation of Transfer of Teachers) Act, 2020, gives exemption from being considered as excess to female teachers who have crossed 50 years, and male teachers over 55 years. The petitioners had made their representations on the basis of these statutory provisions. Admittedly, the women petitioners had crossed the age of 50 years and were entitled to the benefit of Section 10(1)(vi). They could not have been declared as excess, and the impugned order of transfer could not have been issued, the division bench of Chief Justice NV Anjaria and Justice SG Pandit said, dismissing the petitions. The Department of School Education and Literacy challenged the order dated September 29, 2023, passed by the Tribunal at Belagavi, allowing the applications filed by Umadevi Hundekar (55), special teacher at Government High School in Budihal of Bagalkot district, and Prabhavati Ronad (58), teacher at VM Government High School in Teggi taluk of the same district. They were questioning the orders dated June 21 and 20, 2023, by the Deputy Director of Public Instructions, transferring them on the ground that they were surplus teachers, without considering their requests for exemption, as per law.
Karnataka forms task force to curb single-use plastic, POP idols
BENGALURU: Forest, Environment and Ecology Minister Eshwar B Khandre on Friday said that a task force, comprising marshals, will be set up across the state to control the use of single-use plastic. The task force will also act tough in ensuring that no Plaster of Paris (POP) idols are being used during Ganesha Chaturthi this year. He issued these directions, after holding a detailed meeting with officials from the environment department and Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB). Khandre said orders have been issued for the creation of the task force to stop the sale, storage and transportation of single-use plastic and other such products. The task force will also take action and stop the manufacturing of them. He pointed that despite orders and rules in effect against the use of single-use plastic, the banned material is still used in the form on plates, spoons, and carry bags. The task force will also conduct raids and officials will take stern legal action. At the meeting, directions were also issued to ensure proper coordination between the police, district administrations, commercial taxes department, transport department and other stakeholders. Directions were also issued banning crackers during Ganesha Chaturthi.
Senior BJP leader Arvind Limbavali criticizes party's monsoon session performance
BENGALURU: Senior BJP leader and former minister Arvind Limbavali expressed displeasure over the partys performance in the just concluded monsoon session of the State Legislature. It is regrettable that there has been no harmony, and understanding between our party president who is also an MLA and the Leader of the Opposition. This helped the Ruling party to take complete advantage. The action of our party leaders, who did not utilise the opportunity and time in the House adequately, spent the whole session in vain and joined hands with the Ruling party in curtailing the proceedings of the House when there was still one day left, is questionable, he said. He also expressed displeasure over the party leaders not discussing adequately about dengue and drought relief not reaching many farmers. He said the party was not been able to take any issue to a logical conclusion. I am very worried and disappointed to see this condition of our party which was once roaring in the sessions and responding to peoples aspirations even when we had very low number of seats, he added.

Karnataka Deputy CM Shivakumar labels BJPs padayatra as image tarnishing scheme
BENGALURU: Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Friday called the Oppositions proposed 10-day padayatra from Bengaluru to Mysuru demanding CM Siddaramaiahs resignation over the alleged irregularities in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) a ploy to tarnish the latters image. Shivakumar also warned the saffron party that he would expose the scams that took place during its rule. The BJP has provided us an opportunity to expose their wrongdoings by taking out a padayatra. We will highlight their inequities day-by-day as they walk and expose the scams of the previous BJP governments that the CM had proposed in the Assembly, Shivakumar told the media in the presence of Siddaramaiah at Vidhana Soudha. On BJP MPs protesting in the Parliament against the State Government, the DyCM said that the saffron party was hatching a conspiracy to destablise the Congress government. The Congress and the I.N.D.I.A bloc are becoming stronger in the country. Let the BJP do whatever it wants to do, Shivakumar shot back saying that the BJP should first answer about the irregularities that took place under its governments. Let BJP clarify if Basavaraj Bommai, ministers, or officers were involved in the scams. The BJP should come before any media or public forum to discuss those irregularities, Shivakumar challenged. He challenged former CMs HD Kumaraswamy, BS Yediyurappa, Jagadish Shettar, and Basavaraj Bommai and Leader of Opposition R Ashoka to come for a debate. The DyCM said that the BJP and JDS were taking out the padayatra as they were losing their presence in Karnataka. We will reveal who all got the sites illegally during BJP regimes. The BJP is trying to harass us by ordering probes by Central agencies to gain publicity, he said. Shivakumar claimed that the State Government had allowed the Opposition to discuss the issue in the recent legislature session, but they did not let the CM reply. When Ashoka, CT Ravi, and others spoke, Congress members heard them patiently. Our CM exposed similar irregularities during the BJP rule as there are CAG reports in this regard. The Opposition parties did not allow us to discuss these issues, Shivakumar alleged.
Karnataka CM defends allotment of sites to wife, claims no irregularities
BENGALURU: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday defended allotment of sites to his wife by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA). However, he admitted that due to oversight, he did not declare this in his 2013 election affidavit. Subsequently, the same was declared before the Lokayukta, he said. Addressing reporters along with ministers Byrathi Suresh, HC Mahadevappa and Santosh Lad, the CM released some documents in support of his claims. Slamming BJP and JDS legislators for their allegation that he and his family benefitted from the irregularities in allotment of MUDA sites, Siddaramaiah said it was baseless. They seemto be disappointed with the results of Assembly elections in 2023 and their parties poor performance in the recent Lok Sabha elections. Hence, they are trying to damage his clean image as chief minister and his government, he added. Calling his political journey an open book, the CM said he has been in politics for more than 40 years and had no black spot in his political life. BJP and JDS leaders, who have lost peoples faith, are trying to gain their trust through foul means, he said. Did not violate PTCL Act: CM Siddaramaiah claimed that the land at Kesare in Mysuru was ownedby Ninga alias Javara, which he purchased in an auction in 1935. He said this was not government land allotted to SCs, but purchased from original SC owner, who bought it through auction. It does not violate the Prevention of Transfer of Certain Lands Act, he said. In 1993, the land was transferred to Devaraj, the third son of Ninga (original owner). MUDA issued a notification to acquire the land in 1992. In 1996, Devaraj submitted an application requesting MUDA not to acquire this land as he and hisfamily depended on it. In 1998, MUDA dropped its move to acquire this land and denotified it. Later, this land was sold to his brother-in-law Mallikarjun Swamy in 2004, six years after its denotification, he said. He said Mallikarjun converted this land for non-agriculturalpurposes and gifted it to his sister Parvathi, who is his (CMs) wife, in 2010. The CM said only in 2013-14, Parvathi learnt that this land was converted into sites and sold. I was CM in 2014 and my wife wrote to MUDA. I did use my office to influence MUDA then. In 2021, my wife filed an application. She did not seek sites in a particular place. It was MUDAs decision. She had 3.16 acres at Kesare, which is 1.48 lakh sqft and she was given 38,284 sqft (14 sites). Neither me, my wife nor my brother-in-law had any role in it, he said. HDK among allottees Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh on Friday alleged that Union minister HD Kumaraswamy is among JDS and BJP leaders who have been allotted alternative sites in Mysuru by MUDA. Suresh released a list of site allottees of the BJP and JDS parties at a press meet on Friday. P6
Congress to hold Youth Congress elections nationwide from August 16 to September 16
BENGALURU: To groom a new generation of leaders, Congress will launch a membership registration drive to conduct internal elections for the Youth Congress between August 16 and September 16. Deputy Chief Minister and KPCC president DK Shivakumar told the media that the process of creating new leaders has started across the country as Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has decided to nurture young leaders. Shivakumar said internal polls will not give rise to factionalism as those who contest will get posts based on the votes. Whoever gets the most votes will be the president. The second runner-up becomes the vice-president. There will be seven vice-presidents. If selection is done through recruitment then there is scope for groupism, he said. There will be no counting of votes separately this time. As soon as a member casts his vote, it is credited to the candidate. We have further modified the election this time, he said. If youth want to become leaders at block, district and state levels, they should acquire leadership qualities and become leaders in the electoral arena, he said. Presidents are being elected through polls in NSUI and Youth Congress. The elections will be conducted through the party election commission, he said. Reservations will be given to all categories, including women, SC/STs and minorities as in five districts including Ballari, Mandya, Bagalkot, Belagavi and Bengaluru Central, where reservation has been given to SC/STs. KPCC working president Manjunath Bhandari, partys election in-charge, was also present. As it has been 100 years since Mahatma Gandhi led the Grand Old Party, Congress and the government have decided to celebrate it in style. An advisory committee, chaired by Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister HK Patil and former Union minister Veerappa Moily, will be formed to outline programmes for the government and party. BL Shankar will be the coordinator of the committee which includes 60 members including 15 presidents of various units of KPCC.
Karnataka: Hemavathi floods submerge Sakleshpur, disrupt life, traffic
HASSAN: Residents and shop owners on Azad Road of Sakleshpur town were put to hardship as the entire area was submerged with Hemavathi river water. The taluk administration is taking measures to move the stranded people to relief centres. The century-old Holemalleshwara temple on the banks of Hemavathi river in Sakleshpur is partially submerged. Officials have restricted the entry of devotees into the temple as a precautionary measure. Traffic was disrupted on the Holenarasipur-Arkalgud state highway as the road turned into a pool due to heavy downpour. Houses belonging to Hasina Banu in Arehalli in Belur taluk and Gangadhar of Chikkakanagal in Alur taluks were partially damaged.

TG Halli reservoir to supply water to Bengaluru after robust monsoon
BENGALURU: Courtesy a robust monsoon, the Thippagondanahalli (TG Halli) Reservoir, located 35km west of Bengaluru, is brimming with 2.5tmcft of water, and Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) will start supplying water from the reservoir soon. Water quality tests are being conducted and once the reports come in, around 50-60MLD will be supplied to parts of west and north Bengaluru. The installed capacity and infrastructure is to supply 110MLD, but this is subject to water availability, said a senior BWSSB official, who did not wish to be named. The storage capacity of the reservoir is 3.325 tmcft, and on June 1, the water level was 1.8tmcft. All the pipes have been cleaned and where required, new pipes have been laid. New machinery and a 20MLD sewage treatment plant have been installed at a cost of Rs 260 crore, in preparation for the Yettinaholle project, but we cannot wait till it starts. A special ozonisation water treatment plant has been set up to ensure optimum water quality, and supply will start soon to ensure water in the reservoir des not go waste and the machinery does not rust, the official added. Water supply from the reservoir was completely stopped in 2012, when Cauvery 4th Stage project was fully commissioned. But as Bengaluru has grown and water demand has increased, BWSSB officials have calculated that this water and 775MLD supply from Cauvery 5th Phase will complement the existing supply. We plan to started water supply to 110 villages under Cauvery 5th Stage from September 5. By then, TG Halli water supply can also start. Trials for supplying water from TG Halli have been completed till Hegganahalli tank in west Bengaluru, the official said. When some of the 110 villages were reeling under water crises, BWSSB was contemplating supplying water from TG Halli. Plans were also drawn up to fill tankers from TG Halli and ferry water. But we were worried whether people would accept it, as many believe that only Cauvery water is potable. That is not true, till Cauvery water supply started, Bengaluru was using water from TG Halli. We want to revive this, the official added.
Beauticians in Bengaluru protest for better wages, working conditions
BENGALURU: Often constrained to the four walls of a parlour, beauticians rarely get noticed or appropriately compensated for their long hours and back-breaking routines. Demanding standardization of minimum wages, regularization of work hours, legal protection and benefits post-retirement, the Bengaluru Beautician Womens Trust on Friday protested at Freedom Park. According to reports, the beauty industry employs close to 20,000 individuals in the city and 2.5 lakh across the state. Speaking to TNIE on the sidelines of the protest, Usha S, a beautician with 15 years of experience in the industry, emphasized the need for recognition and respect for their profession. We work tirelessly to make others feel beautiful and confident, yet we struggle to receive basic respect and fair compensation. I start my day as early as 8am and close the parlour by 7pm or 8pm. With no standardised prices, monthly income is very low. With growing prices for basic necessities, the education of two children (a boy and girl) is becoming very difficult. She added that the government should introduce schemes for beauticians and welfare of their children. The protesters listed 12 demands, including formalisation of work under fixed rates, issuing beautician cards, pension for beauticians above 50 years of age, loans at lower interest rates and that BBMP should formulate guidelines for issuing licences. Kiran Kumar, president of Karnataka Savitha Samaja, emphasised the need for frequent checks by officials to parlours and make note of any irregularities. The government should make sure that the minimum distance between two parlours is 1-2 kilometres, he added.

Karnataka's resolution against NEET sparks debate
BENGALURU: While Karnataka became the third state to pass a resolution against NEET on Thursday, stakeholders in the field of education have expressed their reservations on how the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) will be able to provide the same uniformity and platform for students, who want admission in medical colleges within the state and across the country. A former vice-chancellor for a medical college in Bengaluru said the resolution passed by the state government is not a wise move, as NEET has proven to be more beneficial to students. He argued that it reduces the stress on candidates and saves time from following hectic schedules of writing multiple entrance examinations so as to secure chances of attaining a seat. If students appear for NEET, they can be eligible to apply for medical colleges across the country and use their NEET rankings, he said. Commenting on the irregularities in NEET, the V-C suggested that A fair evaluation would be to consider 50% of NEET scores and 50% of board results for admissions. For engineering colleges too, only 50% of CET marks should be considered for admissions. He also emphasised the need to digitalise exams as it would prevent aper leaks and scams, which often play with the futures of students. Students have also expressed concerns about not being able to apply to other medical colleges, apart from the ones that come under the ambit of Karnataka. However, many have welcomed the move. Trupthi Shetty, an MBBS student from Subbaiah Institute of Medical Sciences, said that CET exams often have a limited syllabus, compared to NEET and it makes the competition less intense. The longer duration and higher stakes of NEET add to a lot of stress, sometimes forcing students to drop out, she said. Professors also flagged that the quality of examination and education should be retained not just at the central level, but also with state agencies. Nandini BM, Associate Professor at Shimoga Institute of Medical Sciences, emphasised the in-depth knowledge of Physics, Chemistry and Biology required to clear NEET and become reputed medical professionals. The government must make sure that CET exams do not take a political move, keeping the students in mind. They should also uphold the credibility of appearing for a medical entrance, she said.
Congress urged to buy Nijalingappas bungalow for district office
BENGALURU: Former AICC president and chief minister S Nijalingappa was a political giant and Chitradurga DCC president T Pir has urged KPCC president and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge to consider buying Nijalingappas bungalow with Congress funds and setting up the district party office. The State Government had planned to convert the bungalow into a Nijalingappa memorial, but a government official raised objections, delaying the sale. For the last four years, Nijalingappas family has been waiting for the sale. Also, Nijalingappas grandson, Vinay Kiranshankar Siddayanahalli, to whom the property has been willed, stays in the US, which has further delayed the process. During a Congress meeting in Chitradurga recently, Kharge had visited the bungalow and paid his respects to the leader. Shivakumar had said the party needs to set up its offices in all districts. Keeping that in mind, party functionaries have written to Shivakumar to consider buying the bungalow to set up the office. It would bring Congress much goodwill among Lingayats who had gone away from Congress after Veerendra Patil was removed as chief minister in 1990. Congress leader and former MLC Mohan Kondajji, whose father Kondajji Basappa had served as a deputy minister in Nijaligappas cabinet, said, Rs 5 crore was sanctioned by the government to set up the Nijalingappa memorial. But even after four years, it has not come up. It is nothing but apathy on behalf of the administration. He said, I have heard from the family that the market price has gone up to Rs 6 crore for this land which measures 5,000 sqft and they are fed up with waiting and are now considering selling it to a private buyer. Nijalingappas son Kiran Shankar was the chief architect of Vikas Soudha and his son-in-law SB Muddappa was the former chief secretary of Karnataka.

Rahul Gandhi appears in UP court, calls defamation case against him 'cheappublicity'
Sultanpur: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi appeared before an MP-MLA court here on Friday in a defamation case against him and said it was filed to gain cheap publicity. According to Gandhi's lawyer Kashi Prasad Shukla, the Congress MP, who appeared before Special Judge Shubham Verma, said he never made a statement against anyone that could lead to a case of defamation. Local BJP leader Vijay Mishra filed the complaint on August 4, 2018, against Rahul Gandhi for his alleged objectionable comments against Amit Shah at a press conference in Bengaluru in May of that year during the Karnataka elections. The complainant referred to Gandhi's comment that the BJP claims to believe in honest and clean politics but has a party president who is an accused in a murder case. Shah was BJP president when Gandhi made the comment. About four years before Gandhi's remark, a special CBI court in Mumbai discharged Shah in a 2005 fake encounter case when he was a minister of state for home in Gujarat. The MP-MLA court in Sultanpur fixed August 12 as the next date of hearing in the matter when the statement of the petitioner will be recorded. Sources said Gandhi need not appear in the court on that date. Advocate Santosh Kumar Pandey, representing Mishra, said Gandhi has recorded his statement before the judge and evidence will be presented on August 12. On his way back to Lucknow after attending the court proceedings, Gandhi stopped at the shop of a cobbler on the outskirts of Sultanpur and spoke to him about his problems. Gandhi halted his 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' in Amethi on February 20 and appeared in the court which granted him bail. On Friday morning, Congress workers gathered at the civil court in Sultanpur in large numbers for Gandhi's arrival. The Rae Bareli MP appeared before the special judge in court number 15 and recorded his statement. The court premises resembled a fortress with a heavy presence of security personnel.
PoP Ganesha idols still rule peoples mindspace
Ganesha idols kept for sale for the upcoming Ganesh Chathurthi Fesitival at RV Road in Bengaluru on Thursday. (DC) Ganesha idols kept for sale for the upcoming Ganesh Chathurthi Fesitival at RV Road in Bengaluru on Thursday. (DC) Hyderabad : Even a year after the Telangana Ganesh Murti Kalakar Welfare Association received strictures from the Telangana High Court on defending the use of the Plaster of Paris (PoP), Dhoolpet is awash with Ganesha idols made of PoP. However, there is a significant increase in the number of clay idols, hinting at the rising awareness among people in the city. With Ganesha Chaturthi 43 days away, the idol making is in full swing, with workers sourced from Chennai, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh are on job. During interactions with Deccan Chronicle, the idol sellers at Miyapur, Kukatpally, Nagole and Chaderghat pointed out that most orders were for PoP idols but there is a significant rise in demand for clay idols compared to the previous year. Most people want PoP idols as they are stronger. Generally, if their chosen idol is less than five feet, we recommend clay idols. However, if the height is more than five feet, the customers insist on POP idols, said an idol maker from Dhoolpet. At Khairatabad Ganesh mandap, workers from various states are working day and night to prepare the 70-foot-tall eco-friendly idol. An official overseeing the work at the famous Khairatabad Ganesh said that work was getting delayed due to the rain and they were compelled to double the work force. Apart from local workers, those from Chennai, Andhra Pradesh, Mumbai are shaping the idol, said Mahesh Yadav, vice-president of Sri Ganesh Utsav committee. The idol for this year will be crafted in the form of 'Saptamukhi Shakti Maha Vinayakudu', which features seven faces, seven snakes, and 14 hands, he added.

The Sultanpur court has posted the matter for the next hearing on August 12. Gandhi, who appeared before Special Judge Shubham Verma, stated during his appearance that he never made any statement against anyone that could lead to a defamation case, his lawyer Kashi Prasad Shukla told media persons. The defamation case against Rahul Gandhi was registered by Vijay Mishra, the BJP district chief of Sultanpur, in the district and sessions MP/MLA court on August 4, 2018, accusing Gandhi of making the remarks against Shah during an election rally in Bengaluru in the run-up to the Karnataka Assembly elections. As per the details of the case, during a press conference in 2018, Rahul Gandhi had said, People in India forget that the president of BJP is a murder accused. That's the truth. The party that talks of honesty, decency, has a person as president who has been accused of murder. He had added, Amit Shah has been accused of murder, right? The Supreme Court has mentioned the Judge Loya case. So I don't think Amit Shah has a lot of credibility. I mean, let's look into the background. Let's see what he is responsible for. Let's see how he does politics. Also, don't forget he is a murder accused. This is fundamental, Gandhi had told the media persons.

Kickstarting beauty, health with tech and therapy
BENGALURU: In an ever-evolving world of fitness, beauty and health, everyone is looking for that perfect balance between staying young and ageing gracefully. Because lets be honest, there is no shortcut here. But as a mythical elixir of life remains elusive, advancements in technology, innovative fitness regimes, and cutting-edge recovery therapies are continually transforming the fitness landscape, making it more exhilarating with each new discovery. And Bengaluru is the perfect microcosm of these emerging trends. Repetition is key Anuj Srivastava, founder of Troop, emphasises there is an increasing interest in exclusive handstand classes. People often start training and realise there are movements they cant do, like a simple push-up. Learning handstands becomes appealing because it looks cool and it teaches you coordination, mindfulness, and awareness, as you need to be conscious of your body when youre upside down, says Srivastava. Troops 60-minute handstand classes, limited to six people at a time, ensure personalised attention, including wrist and shoulder mobility drills, core exercises, and wall-supported handstand work. Weve just started these classes three months ago, inspired by gyms in Indonesia, Thailand, and Europe that focus on mastering one skill through consistent practice. Red-light therapy can be integrated into various workouts, including yoga Repetition is key; we have to do the same drills repeatedly to get better, Srivastava explains. For beginners, he advises not to push too hard and to have a spotter when practising upside down. Kamakshi Ganesh, an architect and a student in one of these classes, shares, Its exciting because its different from any regular workout. The progression from thinking its an impossible task to doing it for even a microsecond before you fall is a little addictive, and you want to feel it more, so you keep practising. Focus on recovery Along with strength training, like the one Srivastava teaches his students, there is also an increasing emphasis on recovery with alternative therapies like cryotherapy, ice baths, and red light therapy (RLT). Dr Garima Gaur, a wellness and bio-hacking consultant at Wellness Co, an integrative wellness clinic, explains, RLT involves exposing the skin to low levels of red or near-infrared light, promoting muscle recovery, reducing inflammation, and increasing circulation, Compared to traditional fitness routines, she says that the therapy accelerates muscle repair and reduces soreness. RLT is versatile and can be integrated into various workouts like strength training, body callisthenics, Pilates, and yoga, she adds. There has been a notable rise in the popularity of alternative recovery therapies, like RLT and whole body cryotherapy, driven by growing awareness of their benefits, increased research backing their efficacy, and the pursuit of holistic and non-invasive treatment options by fitness enthusiasts. Sheena Hinduja, founder of BlackBx, a fitness studio on Kasturba Road well known for its dark room fitness sessions, agrees on the rising awareness in the alternative recovery therapies. Recovery is crucial, especially for those working out six to seven days a week. We are also planning to start red-light therapy sessions, shares Hinduja, adding that she personally experienced the benefits of an ice bath. Ice baths give the body a shock, which is great for muscle recovery. We also collaborated with a company working in innovative technology in fitness space and got massage guns for clients to use post-session to release muscle tension, she adds. Embracing technology As is with any space in the current times, Hinduja feels that technology is the next big thing in the fitness space. Pooja Sharma, a fitness influencer, points out that these emerging trends reflect how people are looking at fitness as not just working out but more holistically. One of the interesting things is how we are using technology to improve overall fitness. It is not just limited to some set of workouts. It is holistic fitness that we are focusing on these days, like virtual reality is a cool technology to keep one engaged while doing workouts. Similarly, biohacking provides optimised solutions for individual performance. I saw a mattress recently where you can actually control the temperature. At night, it becomes cold, and while waking up, it becomes warmer, says Sharma.
