IFL 2026/27: Gokulam Kerala edge Nagaland United 2-1 with dramatic last-ditch penalty
Digital Desk | Dimapur, Nov 14 (IANS) Victor Da Silva converted a penalty in the ninth minute of stoppage time to help Gokulam Kerala FC secure a dramatic 2-1 victory over Nagaland United SC in the Indian Football League (IFL) 202627 at the Chmoukedima Football Stadium in Dimapur on Saturday. Brazilian forward Crislan Henrique Da Silva De Sousa, who was adjudged the Man of the Match, opened the scoring for the Malabarians in the 18th minute against the run of play. Zomuansanga equalised for the hosts with a 90+6th-minute penalty, but Victor Matheus Da Silva Matos broke Nagaland hearts by converting a penalty of his own in the final kick of the game. With this win, Gokulam Kerala FC moved to the top of the table with three consecutive wins and nine points, while Nagaland United stayed in sixth position with three points from two games. After a cagey opening few minutes, Nagaland United gained control of the midfield and ball possession. Playing in front of their passionate home crowd, the hosts dictated the tempo and carried all the momentum going into the second quarter. Completely against the run of play, Gokulam Kerala broke the deadlock in the 18th minute. Catching the Nagaland defence off guard, Brazilian striker Crislan received the ball unmarked inside the penalty box and unleashed a powerful left-footed strike that smashed into the net, making him the leading goalscorer of the league. The Malabarians soaked up the ensuing pressure, banking on their rock-solid defence after the hydration break. Nagaland United, dominating with almost 70 per cent possession, pushed desperately for an equaliser as the match moved into the third quarter. However, Gokulam custodian Shibin Raj produced a couple of breathtaking saves to keep the home side at bay, ensuring his team went into the half-time break with a slender 1-0 cushion. During this period, the referee also went to his pocket, booking Zomuansanga in the 40th minute after Nagaland had made an early change, bringing on R.H. Laltlanhlua for Laldawngzuala in the 28th minute. A quiet passage of play followed after the restart as both sides took time to get back into their groove. Gokulam soon found openings on the counter, with Kerala-born forward Jobby Justin getting a clear one-on-one opportunity inside the box, only to send his attempt wide of the target. The second half saw a flurry of bookings, with Eric Remruatpuia Chhangte (47'), Yendrembam Naresh Singh (53'), Shikil N S (54'), and Lalramsanga (62') all going into the referee's book. Past the hour mark, Jobby Justin found another one-on-one opportunity but hesitated to take the shot, allowing the Nagaland defence to scramble back and clear the danger. Both sides turned to their benches in a bid to seize control, with Gokulam introducing Gyamar Nikum for Jobby Justin in the 73rd minute. The Malabarians remained resolute at the back, denying the hosts any pockets of space in the final third. As the game moved into the final quarter, Nagaland United carved out their best chance of the half. Yet again, it was Shibin Raj who came to the rescue to preserve Gokulam's lead. Following a sustained spell of pressure, the boys from Nagaland came close once more in the 85th minute, but the visitors held firm. With Gokulam looking to shut up shop, replacing Crislan with Dennis Agyare Antwi in the 86th minute and introducing Wungngayam Muirang in the 89th, it appeared the visitors would scrape a 1-0 win. However, immense late drama unfolded deep into stoppage time when Gokulam defender Sarthak Goloui conceded a penalty in the 95th minute. Stepping up in the 90+6th minute, Zomuansanga held his nerve to convert the spot-kick, sending the Chmoukedima crowd into raptures and seemingly snatching a dramatic point for the hosts. Yet, in a game for the ages, the drama was far from over. In the dying seconds, Gokulam Kerala were awarded a penalty of their own. Victor Matheus Da Silva Matos stepped up in the 90+9th minute and made no mistake, scoring from the very last kick of the match to seal a breathtaking 2-1 victory. It was a heartbreaking result for the home crowd. Despite dominating possession and creating multiple chances, Nagaland United failed to capitalise on their finishing. In contrast, the resolute Malabariansbacked by three to four match-winning saves from Shibin Raj defended heroically to grab all three points from a thrilling away fixture.

What makes Emraan Hashmi and Genelia Deshmukh's first-time pairing work in Gunmaaster G9?
Emraan Hashmi has a distinct screen presence, often marked by an intense, brooding personality and an unpredictable edge. Genelia Deshmukh, on the other hand, brings warmth and a softer energy to her performances. Known for her expressive eyes, cheerful smile and effortless portrayal of romance, she has a screen personality that contrasts with Emraan's. Bringing the two actors together in Gunmaaster G9 creates an unusual combination, making their pairing one of the interesting aspects of the film. The film marks the first time Emraan and Genelia will share screen space. Their contrasting screen personas offer a fresh romantic equation. While Emraan has frequently portrayed characters with complicated pasts and darker shades, Genelia has won audiences over with her lively performances in films such as Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, Bommarillu and Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya. His rugged intensity and her warmth create an interesting contrast, which is also evident in the film's trailer. The relationship between their characters plays an important role in the film's storyline. Emraan portrays an ex-gangster who decides to leave his violent past behind after falling in love with Genelia's character. However, just when he appears to have settled into a peaceful life with his wife, Aparshakti Khurana kidnaps her. The incident sets off a series of events that forces Emraan's character to return to the world he had left behind. As a result, the film's romantic storyline takes a turn against a backdrop of action and danger. Another aspect that makes this pairing stand out is the absence of any previous on-screen association between the actors. Since they have never been paired together before, audiences have no established expectations of how they would work as a couple. Their combination brings something different to the film, with Genelia's warmth complementing Emraan's intense screen presence. This contrast also adds a distinct element to the romantic portions of the film, balancing its action-driven narrative. While Emraan brings the action, grit and intensity to Gunmaaster G9, Genelia adds the emotional element to his character's journey. Amid the film's action sequences and violence, their first-time pairing could emerge as one of its interesting highlights.

Bhul Gaya: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Forgets Bihar Playing XI Details On Historic Captaincy Debut
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had a light-hearted moment on his historic captaincy debut on Saturday when the 15-year-old forgot the details of Bihar's playing XI after winning the toss against Saurashtra in their SMAT 2026-27 opener at the Holkar Stadium.
'Bhul Gaya': Sooryavanshi Forgets Bihar Playing XI Details On Historic Captaincy Debut
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had a light-hearted moment on his historic captaincy debut on Saturday when the 15-year-old forgot the details of Bihar's playing XI after winning the toss against Saurashtra in their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2026-27 opener at the Holkar Stadium. Asked about the team's combination and playing XI after opting to bat, Sooryavanshi responded with a smile, saying, I think, sir, bhool gaya lagta main (I think, sir, I have forgotten). The amusing exchange came on a landmark day for the Bihar youngster, who became the youngest captain in men's T20 cricket history at 15 years and 232 days old. Speaking about the opportunity to lead his home state, Sooryavanshi described the responsibility as a dream come true and expressed gratitude for the chance to captain the team where his cricketing journey began. It feels like a dream come true because I started playing cricket here, and getting the opportunity to lead the same state is a big thing. I am very grateful, and I will try to fulfil the responsibility given to me to the best of my ability, he said. Sooryavanshi surpassed Croatia's Zach Vukusic, who had previously held the record after captaining his national team at the age of 17 years and 311 days. The teenager's first outing as Bihar captain, however, did not produce a substantial contribution with the bat. After winning the toss and electing to bat, he scored 18 off 12 deliveries before being caught and bowled by left-arm pacer Chetan Sakariya. Bihar struggled after his dismissal and managed 137/9 in their allotted 20 overs, with Prithvi Raj top-scoring with 38 runs. Sooryavanshi's availability for Bihar in the tournament will be limited, as he is scheduled to join India A for the ACC Rising Stars Emerging tournament in Doha after featuring in only two matches. The youngster recently featured in India's T20I series against New Zealand, scoring an impressive 45 off just 19 deliveries in a blistering opening partnership with Abhishek Sharma. India went on to win the five-match series 3-2. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Agar aapne daud ke pakad liya, toh theek, nahi pakad paaye toh... thhan thhan Gopal! Ab chale hum neend pakadne! (Come on, my friend, the world doesnt run according to your wishes. You can say whatever you want, but the world keeps moving at its own pace. If you manage to run and catch up with it, good for you. If you cant, then youre left with nothing! And now, off we go to catch some sleep!)
Nepal and India discuss Buddhist-Ramayana tourism circuits, expanded air connectivity
Digital Desk | Kathmandu, Nov 13 (IANS) Newly appointed Indian Ambassador to Nepal, Sudhakar Dalela, on Friday called on two Nepali cabinet ministers and the country's Foreign Secretary, as the two countries prepare the groundwork for an upcoming visit by Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah to New Delhi. Dalela met Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Khadak Raj Paudel and Minister for Infrastructure Development Sunil Lamsal and discussed ways to expand cooperation in tourism, aviation and infrastructure. In a statement, Nepal's Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation said the two sides discussed developing integrated Buddhist and Ramayana tourism circuits and expanding bilateral air connectivity, including regular commercial flights linking Nepal's two international airports outside Kathmandu with major Indian cities. Nepal and India share Buddhist and Ramayana heritage and several important religious pilgrimage sites. Lumbini in Nepal is the birthplace of Lord Buddha, who attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya in India's Bihar and attained Mahaparinirvana at Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh. Likewise, the two countries share important pilgrimage sites associated with the Ramayana. Ayodhya in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh is traditionally regarded as the birthplace of Lord Ram, while Janakpur in Nepal is revered as the birthplace of Goddess Sita. Preparations are also underway to launch a special train service connecting Janakpurdham with Ayodhya. In early November, India conducted a trial run for the proposed Ayodhya-Janakpur railway service, marking a step towards establishing a direct rail connection between the two religious cities. According to the ministry, the two sides also discussed joint tourism promotion and the development of integrated Buddhist and Ramayana tourism circuits to promote their shared religious and cultural heritage and strengthen people-to-people ties. Both sides underscored the importance of preserving their common cultural heritage and expanding cooperation in areas of mutual interest to further deepen the longstanding historical, cultural and friendly relations between the two neighbouring countries. During the meeting, Minister Paudel emphasised the need to operate regular commercial flights connecting Pokhara International Airport and Gautam Buddha International Airport with major Indian cities. Nepal has long been seeking additional air entry routes from India to improve the viability of the two international airports outside Kathmandu and attract more international visitors. The ministry said Paudel called for securing additional air entry routes and strengthening bilateral cooperation in aviation safety and technical capacity building. In a social media post, the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu said the meeting between Dalela and Paudel featured a productive exchange of views on enhancing connectivity, people-to-people ties and tourism. The embassy reaffirmed its commitment to further strengthening the close ties of friendship and cooperation between India and Nepal. Dalela also held a separate meeting with Minister Lamsal on Friday. During the meeting, they discussed ways to deepen bilateral collaboration in infrastructure development and connectivity, the Indian Embassy said. In another meeting with Nepal's Foreign Secretary Amrit Bahadur Rai, discussions focused on various aspects of bilateral cooperation and ways to strengthen relations between the two countries, the embassy said. Nepal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a social media post that the two sides exchanged views on various aspects of Nepal-India relations and discussed ways to further strengthen bilateral cooperation for the mutual benefit of the two countries and their peoples. Dalela presented his credentials to President Ramchandra Paudel on November 6, formally assuming his role as India's ambassador to Nepal.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 12 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said on Thursday that the state government will write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking the inclusion of the enhanced reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution, while expressing confidence that the state would secure relief from the Supreme Court. Speaking after chairing a meeting of the State Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Development Council on the 2026-27 action plan for Scheduled Castes Sub-Plan and Tribal Sub-Plan (SCSP/TSP) programmes, Shivakumar added that the state had already filed an appeal in the Supreme Court against the High Court judgment on enhanced reservation. We will write to the Prime Minister regarding the inclusion of the decision to enhance reservation for SCs and STs in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution. If it is possible to meet the Prime Minister, we will also discuss the matter with him, he said. Shivakumar said the state Cabinet had decided to challenge the High Court judgment and the state's petition had been admitted by the Supreme Court. Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara, Minister K.H. Muniyappa and Minister Satish Jarkiholi have been entrusted with monitoring the case and deciding the legal strategy on behalf of the state. Chief Minister Shivakumar added that Karnataka was seeking only a six per cent increase beyond the 50 per cent reservation ceiling, noting that Tamil Nadu already has 69 per cent reservation. The state government had also addressed the issue of internal reservation, he said. The Chief Minister announced that a Vision Group would be constituted to recommend new welfare programmes for SC and ST communities. A Cabinet sub-committee led by Deputy CM Parameshwara has also been formed to review the implementation of programmes promised by the state government. Shivakumar said the state government had decided to conduct a social audit through reputed institutions to assess the impact of funds spent under the Scheduled Castes Sub-Plan and Tribal Sub-Plan over the years. For 2025-26 and the current financial year, Rs 42,503 crore and Rs 44,631 crore, respectively, have been allocated under SCSP/TSP programmes covering 451 schemes across 34 departments, he added. The state government will also form a team of ministers and SC/ST legislators to review the allocation and suggest possible changes after holding detailed discussions with the Finance Department. On central assistance, the Chief Minister said Karnataka would write to the Union government seeking the release of Rs 1,937 crore pending under Centrally sponsored schemes for 2025-26. Of the total Rs 10,011 crore allocated under such schemes, the Centre's share was Rs 3,497 crore and the state's share Rs 6,514 crore. However, only Rs 1,560 crore of the Central share has been released. Shivakumar added that he had directed Finance Department officials to release the state's share even if the pending Central funds were not received, as delays were affecting the implementation of several welfare schemes. The meeting also stressed transparency in the use of SCSP/TSP funds. The Chief Minister directed officials to ensure equitable allocation among all SC and ST communities and make beneficiary details, including photographs, available online. He said that photographs and videos of beneficiaries should be maintained to prevent misuse of funds. Shivakumar also added that funds earmarked under SCSP and TSP should not be used for office expenses. According to the state government, Rs 39,661.99 crore was released under SCSP and TSP during 2025-26, of which Rs 39,557.43 crore was spent, recording 99.74 per cent utilisation. The Chief Minister also said the state government would take steps to fill the remaining backlog vacancies in government services and improve school uniforms and hostel facilities from next year. He also announced plans to hold separate consultations with leaders from minority, Vokkaliga, Lingayat and backward communities before the upcoming Legislative session.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 12 (IANS) On the occasion of Chhath Puja, the BJP-led governments in Delhi and Bihar have decided to deploy 77 buses for ferrying devotees on subsidised tickets, Delhi Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh said on Thursday. He said the initiative reflects the shared commitment of both governments to ease the festive travel rush and strengthen interstate public transport connectivity. The initial arrangement from Anand Vihar Bus Terminal includes 77 buses across five Bihar divisions: Muzaffarpur (36), Patna (13), Purnea (12), Gaya Ji (10) and Darbhanga (6), he said. To provide financial relief to passengers, subsidised festival fares are being charged across Non-AC Seater, Non-AC Sleeper, AC Seater and AC Sleeper categories, he said. Depending on the route and bus category, passengers will benefit from reductions ranging from Rs 134 to Rs 1,028, he said. For instance, the Non-AC Seater fare on the Patna-Delhi route has been reduced from Rs 1,615 to Rs 1,221, while the AC Seater fare has been brought down from Rs 1,980 to Rs 1,361, he said. Pankaj Kumar Singh said, Chhath Puja holds immense cultural and emotional significance for lakhs of people from Bihar and Poorvanchal residing in Delhi. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the Delhi government is committed to working in coordination with the Bihar Government to ensure that passengers can travel home safely and affordably. The introduction of subsidised fares and additional bus services is an important step towards making public transport more accessible during the festive season, he said in a statement. The Minister highlighted the proposed Reciprocal Transport Agreement between Delhi and Bihar, which envisages 18 interstate routes connecting Delhi with major destinations in Bihar, including Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Purnea, Araria, Kishanganj, Buxar, Nawada, Madhubani and Biharsharif. The proposed arrangement provides for bus operations in both directions, with a permit quota of 12 buses each for Delhi and Bihar on every route. Several routes will connect through major transit points in Uttar Pradesh, including Noida, Agra, Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur and Varanasi. Pankaj Kumar Singh said that passenger safety and environmental compliance have also been prioritised under the proposed agreement. Only BS-VI environment-friendly CNG buses and electric buses will be permitted. Buses will also be required to have vehicle location tracking devices and emergency buttons. The agreement further provides for mutual recognition of tickets issued in either state and stipulates that the arrangement will remain valid for 10 years subject to applicable legal provisions, he said. The Delhi Transport Minister reiterated that the initial 77-bus service is an important beginning and that its operations will be monitored to assess passenger requirements. Further routes and services will be incorporated in a phased manner to strengthen connectivity between Delhi and Bihar and provide passengers with more convenient and affordable travel options, the statement said.

Bahut dost, poori media ka aashirwad hai, sabka pyaar hai. Kyunki yeh jo notes hain, yeh sab akele talent se nahi, koi uparwale ka aashirwad hai.

Three Sun Temples of Gayaji: Krishnas Son Samba Link Explained
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) The cricket fraternity came together to celebrate Mohammed Shamis contribution to Test cricket after the veteran India fast bowler announced his retirement from the longest format, with former teammates, cricketers and IPL franchises paying tribute to his remarkable career. Shami, who established himself as one of Indias most dependable fast bowlers across formats, leaves behind an impressive Test record of 229 wickets from 64 matches and 122 innings. His ability to extract movement off the seam, generate pace and deliver crucial breakthroughs made him a vital part of Indias bowling attack over the years. Former Bengal captain Manoj Tiwary, who had the opportunity to lead Shami at the domestic level, reflected on his experience of having the pacer in his bowling line-up and described him as a warrior. The red ball may no longer be in his hands, but the memories of his thunderbolts will forever remain in the hearts of cricket lovers. Some legends dont say goodbye; they simply become history. This what it meant to me When I was leading the bengal team and having Shami in the bowling line up. Warrior at heart, Tiwary wrote on X. Former India pacer Munaf Patel also extended his wishes, expressing his hope of seeing Shami continue to represent the country in white-ball cricket. You will be Missed in Whites Buddy, congratulations on your amazing carrer. See you soon in Blues @MdShami11, he wrote. Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan kept his message brief, congratulating his former teammate on his achievements, while Ajinkya Rahane also acknowledged the fast bowlers outstanding career. Congrats brother for a great career, Dhawan said. Congratulations buddy on your fantastic career, well done, Rahane wrote. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan highlighted one of Shamis biggest strengths, paying tribute to his ability to generate late movement and trouble batters with the red ball, as he commented on Shamis Instagram post saying, Many congratulations on your wonderful red ball cricket. Your late movement with that cherry will be missed. The tributes also came from Shamis former IPL associations, with Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants celebrating the bowlers trademark skills and memorable performances. Lala, well miss that iconic seam position and the magic with the red cherry, PBKS commented. The red cherry will miss its favourite, LSG wrote. His LSG teammate Mohsin Khan also shared a personal message for the senior fast bowler. Happy retirement bhaiya. Among the most detailed tributes was that of renowned cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle, who reflected on Shamis mastery of seam bowling and his ability to create opportunities even when a match appeared to be drifting away. Just because it was inevitable doesnt make it less poignant. Shami delivered a red ball like few others before him could, his romance with the seam of a cricket ball is a story in itself. When the game seemed headed nowhere, he would cajole the seam into nipping one back, or leaving an unsuspecting batter. A player who bowled by the first principles of seam and swing bowling. Very well played Mohd Shami. Mazaa aa gaya. Wish you the very best in white ball cricket and I hope you can impart the principles of bowling to many who would want to walk in your footsteps, Bhogle wrote. Chennai Super Kings also acknowledged the numbers behind Shamis contribution to Test cricket, highlighting the consistency and impact he brought to Indias red-ball setup. 64 matches. 122 innings. 229 wickets. You gave it your all, every time you had the ball in your hand. And more often than not, you gave us a reason to celebrate. Thank you for the memories in whites, Shami, CSK wrote.

PM Modi also referred to the return of the Piprahwa relics to India after more than a century and the recognition of Pali as a classical language as significant milestones in preserving Buddhism's intellectual and spiritual legacy. Describing Arunachal Pradesh as an important part of India's Buddhist heritage, the Prime Minister highlighted the enduring significance of Tawang Monastery as a major centre of Buddhist faith and learning. He said the exposition at Tawang, Bomdila and Namsai would enable devotees across the state to connect more closely with their spiritual heritage and the teachings of Lord Buddha. PM Modi expressed confidence that the exposition, along with the international conference on Buddhism being organised as part of the programme, would deepen appreciation of India's shared Buddhist heritage. In a significant announcement, Khandu declared the establishment of the Arunachal Buddhist Confederation to bring together and strengthen the diverse Buddhist traditions and institutions of the state. The Chief Minister said that Arunachal Pradesh had a distinctive Buddhist landscape, with both Mahayana and Theravada traditions flourishing in different regions. Mahayana Buddhist communities are concentrated in Tawang, West Kameng, Mechuka, Tuting, the Taksing area and Anjaw, while Theravada Buddhist communities are predominantly found in Namsai and Changlang districts. Khandu said the decision to establish the Confederation was taken after consultations with senior leaders and representatives of both traditions, including Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein and Namsai MLA Jignu Namchoom. Venerable Agadhamma, Chief Monk of Namsai Pariyatti Sasana Buddhist Vihara, has been selected as the first President of the Confederation, while Thupten Kalden, Director of the Department of Karmik and Adhyatmik Affairs (DoKAA), will serve as its Secretary General. The Confederation will seek affiliation with the International Buddhist Confederation, creating an institutional platform to promote, preserve and strengthen the state's diverse Buddhist practices, traditions and institutions. Khandu also welcomed the Prime Minister's announcement in the Union Budget regarding the development of Buddhist heritage sites in the Northeast. He said that following discussions with the Union Minister for Tourism, the Ministry was working on a policy framework to take the initiative forward. Expressing confidence in the proposed policy intervention, the Chief Minister added that it would benefit Buddhist heritage sites across Arunachal Pradesh and facilitate their preservation, development and promotion. The inaugural ceremony was attended by Union Minister for Culture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Lok Sabha MP Tapir Gao, legislators, the Chief Secretary, representatives of the Ministry of Culture, the National Museum and the International Buddhist Confederation, besides monks and other distinguished guests.

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 31 (IANS) Well known Tamil film director Mithran R Jawahar, who has produced the web series 'Notebook 90s - Kadhal Flashback', says that he wanted to revisit an era that holds a special place in people's hearts with the series. Says Mithran R. Jawahar, Through our collaboration with Sony VIZHA and Sony LIV on Notebook 90s Kadhal Flashback, I wanted to revisit an era that holds a special place in our hearts. The 90s had a unique warmth in the way we experienced friendships, family and relationships. With the show, I hope to bring back those memories and remind viewers of the simple moments that made that time so special. If Notebook 90s makes viewers think of an old friend or look back on their own memories with a smile, that will mean a lot to me. For the unaware, the web series, which has been produced under the creative vision of filmmaker Mithran R. Jawahar, has been directed by Sadhasivam and written by Neelan. Sources in the know say that 'Notebook 90s Kadhal Flashback' will look to recreate the warmth and simplicity of the 90s through a tender school-day love story filled with friendship, innocence, nostalgia and the unforgettable emotions of growing up. Set in 1990s Trichy, the series follows Gautham (Muzzamil Elias) and Gayathri (Yuva), whose story begins with a playful school-day prank and unexpectedly blossoms into first love. What follows is a journey through the excitement of a first crush, the awkwardness of expressing your feelings, the joy of discovering that they may be reciprocated, and the misunderstandings and heartbreak that make young love feel all the more intense. Sources claim that at its heart, 'Notebook 90s Kadhal Flashback' will celebrate a time when school corridors could hold a hundred possibilities and one small moment could become a memory you carried for years. Adding an emotional touch to the narrative is Bhavana, who will be seen making a special cameo appearance as the older Gayathri, connecting those memories of youthful romance with the present. The show is to premiere on November 23 at 7:30 PM on Sony VIZHA and Sony LIV.

NCs cabinet reshuffle opens fresh fault line; 18 MLAs meet
Srinagar, Oct 30: The National Conference (NC) is facing growing internal dissent following the recent cabinet reshuffle, with 18 legislators reportedly holding a closed-door meeting in Srinagar on Friday to chalk out a strategy against the changes made by the party leadership. The meeting, attended by 17 NC MLAs and an Independent legislator, was held at the residence of an NC MLA in the airport area of Srinagar, with sources indicating that the deliberations centred on what the legislators described as an unjust cabinet expansion. One of the participants, wishing anonymity, told Rising Kashmir that the legislators reached a consensus that the four ministers who had been part of the government since its formation in October 2024 should now make way for fresh faces, having completed two years in office. They have completed two years and should now be replaced by new faces, he said, adding that the legislators were discussing ways to press their demand before the party leadership. The latest meeting is being seen as a significant development in the growing unease within the ruling party, particularly after Omar Abdullah expanded his cabinet on October 27 by inducting four new ministers and dropping Satish Sharma.The reshuffle triggered considerable resentment in sections of the NC, with several legislators and their supporters expressing disappointment over the choices made by the leadership. Protests were also witnessed in different areas, reflecting the discontent among sections of the party cadre. The dissent had become visible even before the latest meeting, with 11 MLAs supporting the ruling alliance, most of them belonging to the NC, staying away from the oath-taking ceremony of the four newly inducted ministers. Sources privy to the meeting said the number of legislators unhappy with the cabinet expansion could be higher, as some MLAs who had skipped the swearing-in ceremony could not attend Friday's meeting due to prior engagements. The developments have also coincided with a politically sensitive period for the NC, with further closed-door consultations being held in Srinagar amid growing speculation over the party's internal equations ahead of NC MP Aga Ruhullah Mehdi's November 3 deadline to resign from Parliament and the National Conference. Ruhullah, who has been vocal about his political commitments, has maintained that he stands firm on his position and commitment, adding another dimension to the challenges confronting the party leadership. Meanwhile, newly inducted minister Altaf Ahmad Wani , popularly known as Altaf Kaloo, sought to downplay the growing resentment within the NC camp. Speaking to reporters during his recent grand welcome in Anantnag, Kaloo said the new ministers would try to bring a different approach to governance. We will do something different, he said. Asked about the possibility of persuading Ruhullah, Kaloo said the party would make efforts to reach out to him.We will persuade him. Abhi gaya toh nahi woh, he said, indicating that the MP had not left the party. On the disappointment among sections of the NC following the cabinet expansion, Kaloo described it as a routine development within a political family, seeking to play down the differences. However, the growing number of legislators holding consultations, coupled with the demand for replacing ministers who have completed two years, suggests that the cabinet reshuffle has opened a fresh fault line within the ruling party. With the discontent extending beyond individual legislators to their supporters, the coming days are likely to test the NC leadership's ability to manage internal differences while keeping its herd together.

It is no longer the 28th, but the 29th. It is morning, and I am sitting in front of my laptop, so let me change the date and write about today's events, so that there is no mistake in the numbering at night.) He added: Ho rahi hai kya? If abhi batayega thodi der mein... Nirbhar hoon unpar. Ek kuch din pehle ka lifafa khola, aur jo nikla use chhaap rahe hain... Log prashansak paas mein khade milte hain, toh achha lagta hai... Ab pichhle itwaar ko unhein bikher diya... Doori ho gayi, lekin mera sneh, pyaar aur unke prati aadar nahi gaya, aur na kabhi jaayega. (Is it happening? If so, he will let us know shortly. I am dependent on them. I opened an envelope from a few days ago, and whatever came out of it is being published. It feels good when admirers are standing nearby. Last Sunday, however, I scattered them. The distance may have grown, but my affection, love and respect for them have not diminished, nor will they ever.) The thespian went on to add: Kuch chhote hain, kuch bade hain, kuch sona zyada pasand karte hain! Ab dekhiye kaise iski headline banayi jaayegi! Darao mat yaar, hamare baare mein likhna band kar doge, koi samasya nahi, hamara samachar patra ab yahan chalta hai. Tum ek karoge, hum 100 karenge! (Some are young, some are older, and some simply prefer sleeping more! Now, let us see how they come up with a headline for this! Don't threaten me, my friend. If you stop writing about us, that's absolutely fine. Our newspaper operates here now. You do one, and we will do a hundred!) Jao! Le aao apne haathi ghode... Hum bhi le aayenge! Haathi ghoda palki, Jai Kanhaiya Lal Ki! Jhoomte rehna!!!! (Go ahead! Bring your elephants and horses... We will bring ours too! The elephant and horse palanquin, hail Lord Krishna! Keep swinging!)

Responding with his trademark humour, Amitabh recalled a saying about fathers and sons. Bahut pehle humne suna tha ki agar pita ke joote putra pehenna shuru kar de, toh fir woh putra nahi hota, woh mitra ho jata hai...

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 27 (IANS) Actor Ravie Dubey opened up on playing the supreme character of Lord Lakshman in the upcoming cinematic epic Ramayana, saying that it still feels surreal. Admitting that even after completing the shoot nearly two-and-a-half years ago, the magnitude of the opportunity has yet to sink in.

(Sir, even now... it has been two to two-and-a-half years since we shot the film, and today, all of us are sitting here in your presence... I still feel as though this isn't really happening, that perhaps somewhere in my mind, something like an illusion, a dream, is unfolding) Detailing the moment he learned about securing the prestigious role and his sense of gratitude, he added, 5 November ko picture aane wali hai... to jab pehli dafa sir pata chala ki main... Ramayan mein Lakshman ka paatra nibha raha hoon, to... main stabdh sa reh gaya jo kehte hain na ki sink-in nahi hua hai, main sach bol raha hoon hand-to-heart, that... abhi bhi mujhe lagta hai ki sink-in nahi hua hai... lekin main aur meri patni Sargun hum yeh maante hain ki cheezein agar... hoti hain to keval kripa se hoti hain, divine ordinance se aur divine grace se hi hoti hain.. (The film is releasing on November 5... so when I first learnt, sir, that I... was going to play the role of Lakshman in Ramayana, I was left stunned. You know how they say that something hasn't quite sunk in? I am speaking honestly, hand on heart, that... even now, I feel it still hasn't sunk in... but my wife Sargun and I believe that if things... happen, they happen only through grace, through divine ordinance and divine grace) For the uninitiated, Ramayan stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Maa Sita.

Atletico move to within 2 points of Barcelona as Villarreal win in Valencia
Digital Desk | Madrid, Oct 25 IANS) Julian Alvarez scored the only goal of the game as Atletico Madrid beat Deportivo a Coruna to move to within two points of FC Barcelona. The Argentinian, who wanted to join FC Barcelona over the summer, scored his first league goal in the Metropolitano Stadium in almost a year as he slipped the ball home after a pass from Alex Grimaldo in the 47th to bring an otherwise dull game to life. Villarreal fought back from 1-0 down to win 2-1 away to Valencia on Saturday, leaving new Valencia coach Javier Aguirre without a win in his first three games in charge, reports Xinhua. Villarreal had been on top in the first half but again failed to take their chances and fell behind when defender Renato Veiga was penalized for a foul on Dani Raba, allowing Pepelu to put Valencia ahead against the run of play from the penalty spot in the 38th minute. Alex Freeman headed Villarreal level in the 69th minute, but the visitors were reduced to 10 men 10 minutes later when midfielder Pape Gueye was sent off for a high elbow that caught Valencia's Jose Luis Gaya in the face. Harvey Elliott joined Gueye in the dressing room when he was sent off for Valencia in the 89th minute after receiving a second yellow card for protesting, and Georges Mikautadze gave Villarreal all three points in the 96th minute after running onto Alberto Moleiro's pass behind the Valencia defense. Racing Santander ended a run of three defeats and a draw with a 2-1 home win over Espanyol, who slipped into the bottom three. Espanyol opened the scoring in the 61st minute when Edu Exposito's shot took a deflection past Racing Santander goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala. The visitors' lead lasted until the 68th minute, when Jeanuel Belocian drilled home a left-footed shot to level the scores. After a spell of pressure from the home side, Yassir Zabiri scored the winner from close range in the 84th minute, taking his goal tally for the season to eight. Two penalties in the 23rd and 36th minutes put Elche on course for a 3-0 win away to Rayo Vallecano in the first game at the Vallecas Stadium since a protest by Rayo supporters led to their match against Athletic Bilbao being suspended after just 13 minutes earlier this month. Federico Redondo converted the first penalty with a powerful shot into the corner, while Fer Nino scored the second after Pathe Ciss fouled Thomas Lemar. Ciss had the chance to bring Rayo straight back into the game with a penalty awarded for handball almost immediately afterwards, but he struck the crossbar. German Valera sealed an important win for Elche in the 68th minute. Malaga came close to securing their first win of the season on Friday night after taking the lead away to Deportivo Alaves through Adrian Nino's goal shortly before half-time. The visitors held onto their lead until the 89th minute, when Alaves substitute Aitor Manas scored from close range after Malaga goalkeeper Alfonso Herrero had saved Toni Martinez's initial effort.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 22 (IANS) Singer Mika Singh recently recalled his attempt to enter megastar Amitabh Bachchans famous Diwali party without an invitation on the quiz-based reality show, Kaun Banega Crorepati. Sharing the anecdote, Mika said he would often pass by the Bachchan residence during Diwali, hoping to receive an invitation to the star-studded celebration someday. Recalling those days, Mika said, Main inke ghar ke aage se jaata tha... Toh jab bhi hoti thi, inki Diwali party bahut mashhoor hoti thi. Bahut se superstar hote the, sabse bade toh khud hi itne bade superstar hain... Toh Diwali party jab bhi hoti thi, main inke gate ke aage se jaata tha, toh meri badi ichha thi ki bhai, kab main inke ghar pe jaaunga, kab waisa bulawa aayega.. (I used to pass by his house. His Diwali party was very famous, with so many superstars in attendance. And, of course, the biggest superstar of them all is Mr Bachchan himself. Whenever he hosted the Diwali party, I would pass by his gate, wishing that one day I would get to visit his house and receive an invitation) He then narrated how he once used his large car to make the security personnel believe that a superstar was arriving at the party. Maine ghar bada nahi liya, meri gaadi bahut badi thi, toh sabko lagta tha ki koi superstar ghoom raha hai us gaadi ke andar. Bahut badi gaadi thi, inki Diwali party chal rahi hai aur poora media aur security wahan hai... Toh maine sirf aise jaake inke gate ke aage horn bajaya 'paa...' Unhone poora security ne darwaza khol diya ki woh bahut bada koi superstar aaya hai. Main bhi chashma pehan ke aise... kale sheeshe the, aise-aise karke andar ghus gaya.. (I hadnt bought a bigger house, but I had a very big car, so everyone thought a superstar was travelling inside it. The car was huge, and his Diwali party was underway, with the entire media and security present there. So, I simply drove up to his gate and honked, Paa The security team opened the gate, thinking that some big superstar had arrived. I was wearing sunglasses, and the car had tinted windows, so I managed to sneak inside, pretending to be someone important) Mika, however, soon realised that he did not have an invitation and decided to reverse his car and leave. He said Bachchan later sent him a message, inviting him to meet him directly whenever he visited next. Phir mujhe realize hua ki main uninvited hoon, toh phir maine gaadi back kar li. Phir paaji ka message aaya ki 'Aage toh jaddon bhi aana Punjabi vich, tussi meenu sidha milne aana'. So yeh inki greatness hai.. (Then I realised that I was there without an invitation, so I reversed the car and left. Later, I received a message from paaji (Amitabh Bachchan) saying in Punjabi, Whenever you come next time, come and meet me directly. That is what makes him so gracious) Responding to Mikas story, Amitabh Bachchan spoke about the welcoming atmosphere at his home during festivals, crediting his wife, actor-politician Jaya Bachchan, for her approach to guests. Aur humara jo nyota jaata hai... Diwali ka tyohar ho, Holi ka tyohar ho, koi bhi tyohar ho... Jaya ji kehti hain yeh khula ghar hai, jiske aana chahe woh aa sakta hai.. (And as for our invitations, whether it is Diwali, Holi or any other festival, Jaya ji always says that this is an open house, and anyone who wishes to come is welcome)

Anupam Kher: Been almost two months since I last met my mother
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 22 (IANS) Veteran actor Anupam Kher has shared an emotional note about missing his mother, Dulari, revealing that it has been almost two months since they last met. Anupam took to Instagram, where he shared two photographs of his mother and recalled their daily FaceTime conversations on brother Raju Khers phone. Maa se mile lagbhag do mahine ho gaye hain. Roz Raju ke phone par FaceTime par baat hoti hai. Maa smartphone nahi chahti hain. Aaj baat karte-karte bolin, Tu kab aayega? Kitne din ho gaye tujhse mile hue. Tu meri shakal bhool toh nahi gaya? (It has been almost two months since I last met my mother. We talk every day on FaceTime using Rajus phone. Mom doesnt want a smartphone. Today, while we were talking, she said, When are you coming home? Its been so long since I saw you. You havent forgotten what I look like, have you?) Sunkar hansi bhi aayi aur aankhein bhi bhar aayin. Kitni masoom hain Maa! Main unki shakal dekhte hue hi toh unse baat kar raha tha. Lekin phir laga, main samajh raha hoon ki woh kya kehna chahti hain. (I laughed when I heard that, but my eyes welled up too. How innocent she is! I was talking to her while looking at her face on the screen. But then I realised that I understood what she was really trying to say.) Jab tak gale na laga lein, paas baithkar jee bhar ke baatein na kar lein, tab tak Maa ke liye kahaan milna hota hai! Phone par chehra dikh jaata hai, lekin bachche ke ghar aane ka intezaar toh wahin ka wahin rehta hai. Phir bolin, Achha chal, apna khayal rakh. Koi baat nahi koi baat nahi. Unke is koi baat nahi mein bhi kitna kuch tha. (For a mother, a video call can never replace meeting her child. Until she can hug them, sit beside them and talk to her hearts content, it never really feels like a proper reunion. She can see her childs face on the phone, but her longing for them to come home remains just the same. Then she said, Alright, take care of yourself. Its okay its okay. There was so much hidden in those words, Its okay.) Kaise bataun tujhe, Maa, ki teri shakal toh mere dil mein basi hui hai. Aankhein band karta hoon toh tere hazaaron chehre nazar aate hain. Kabhi hanste hue, kabhi daantte hue, kabhi fikr karte hue aur har baar utna hi pyaar karte hue. Teri shakal kaise bhool sakta hoon, Maa? Meri toh poori duniya hi tere aanchal mein hai. #DulariRocks #MomsAreTheBest. (How do I tell you, Mom, that your face is etched in my heart? When I close my eyes, I see a thousand different versions of you. Sometimes laughing, sometimes scolding me, sometimes worrying about me and loving me just as much every single time. How could I ever forget your face, Mom? My entire world rests in the shelter of your embrace. #DulariRocks #MomsAreTheBest.)

Vishwak Sen's slasher thriller Cult's shooting wrapped
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Oct 20 (IANS) Actor-director Vishwak Sen on Tuesday announced that the shooting of his upcoming film, 'Cult', had now been wrapped. Taking to his Instagram page to share a BTS video showing him okaying the final shot of the film and then subsequently thanking his team, the director and actor wrote, Happy Dussehra, everyone! Yesterday marked the final day of CULT, and weve been overwhelmed by the humongous response to our trailer! All the love and support means the world to us. Cant wait for you all to experience it on the big screen. See you all in theatres on October 30th! It may be recalled that the team had released a gripping trailer of the film on Monday. Produced by Sandeep Kakarala under the banner of Tarak Cinemas, 'Cult' is being promoted as Indias first authentic slasher thriller, inspired by disturbing real-life incidents. For the unaware, Vishwak Sen, apart from playing the lead role in the film, has also taken on the responsibilities of story, screenplay and direction. The trailer released offers a glimpse into a terrifying world filled with danger, violence and unpredictable twists. The trailer sets up a chilling premise with more than 300 people trapped inside an isolated island estate in Goa. With electric fencing surrounding the property and the main entrance rigged with RDX explosives, escaping the premises appears almost impossible. Their only chance of survival lies in participating in a series of deadly games, where every decision could have fatal consequences. Among those caught in this nightmare is DSP Sankalp Nayak, a tough police officer who must navigate the increasingly dangerous situation as the fight for survival intensifies. While the teaser hinted at Vishwak Sen portraying a character with negative shades, the trailer reveals a different dimension to his role. He plays a badass police officer with a strong aversion to drugs and his own uncompromising way of dealing with criminals. The character combines aggression, attitude and lively humour, making him a compelling presence amid the films dark setting. The trailer also offers glimpses of the other important characters, played by Gayatri Bharadwaj, Tarak Ponnapa, Murali Sharma, Srikanth Iyengar and others, hinting at the ensemble that drives this high-stakes thriller. Tharun Bhascker has penned the dialogues for the film, which has production design by Arvind Mule. Cinematography for the film is by the talented Aravind Viswanathan while popular music director Ravi Basrur has scored the background music of the film. Editing for the film is by Ravi Teja Girijala #CULT is set to hit theatres simultaneously on October 30 in Telugu, Hindi, English, Japanese and Spanish.

Peaceful protest is a right, but protesters' credentials matter: Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court on Monday observed that while peaceful demonstration is a fundamental right, factors like a protestor's credentials and public inconvenience must be weighed before issuing blanket orders restricting police action. A bench of Chief Justice Mahesh Chandra Tripathi and Justice Advait Sethna directed the Maharashtra government to respond to petitions alleging the illegal detention of individuals by the police during recent anti-Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) protests in the city. The court was hearing a public interest litigation filed by advocate Savar Devre against alleged police brutality and detention of persons who are taking out peaceful demonstrations in solidarity with the protests in Delhi. The plea had sought a direction to the police not to detain any person taking part in such peaceful protests.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 17 (IANS) Indian Idol Season 1 runner-up Amit Sana took a trip down memory lane and reflected on his 21-year journey from his rise to fame, the struggles that followed, and his return to the stage. Ahead of Indian Idol Legend Returns, Amit looked back his journey and said: Emotionally, physically, mentally, financially... in all the aspects, I was in a very bad space. Describing the ups and downs of his journey, Amit said his life witnessed a sudden rise during the initial months of 2005, followed by a gradual decline. He also spoke about personal challenges, including his marriage and subsequent divorce, which shaped his experiences over the years. Amit said, Yeh jo 21 years ki journey rahi hai, main usko aise bayan karunga ki achanak mere life mein ek ekdam upward graph aaya, woh jo 3 se 4 mahine the 2005 ke, aur phir dheere dheere dheere dheere woh graph ekdam neeche ki taraf aane laga. I was married, I got divorced, toh jaise main aaj nazar aa raha hoon uska total opposite life maine actually lead kiya hai. (The way I would describe this 21-year journey is that there was a sudden upward graph in my life during those three to four months in 2005, and then, gradually, that graph started moving sharply downwards. I was married, I got divorced, and I have actually led a life that is the complete opposite of how I appear today) Amit said he holds no resentment over the experiences he has gone through. He added: Par main yeh nahi kahunga ki main us cheez ko lekar mere dil mein koi gila shikwa hai, because life se seekhna bahut zaroori hota hai aur life ka sikhana bhi bahut zaroori hota hai.. (But I would not say that I have any complaints or grievances in my heart about those experiences, because it is very important to learn from life, and it is equally important for life to teach you) Amit Sana stressed that music remained a constant throughout the difficult years and that he continued composing songs even when he was going through a low phase. He said, Maine itne saalon mein jo bhi aaya-gaya, jo bhi cheez hui mere life mein, maine music kabhi nahi chhoda. Aur jitna bhi low phase mein main raha, main gaane banata raha. I knew this day would come, and I sincerely, sincerely thank God, thank my family, thank all my fans that I am sitting here doing this show. (Whatever came and went over all these years, whatever happened in my life, I never left music. No matter how low a phase I was going through, I kept making songs. I knew this day would come, and I sincerely, sincerely thank God, my family and all my fans that I am sitting here doing this show) Amit described the opportunity as the beginning of a new chapter in his career. Aur yeh show toh sirf shuruat hai, to be honest. Iske baad meri upward journey actually shuru hone wali hai. I am really happy that I am here, he said. (And to be honest, this show is just the beginning. My upward journey is actually going to begin after this. I am really happy that I am here) Indian Idol Legends Return premieres on October 17 on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
