The sculptor Sir Anish Kapoor received the top prize at Eastern Eyes Arts, Culture & Theatre Awards (ACTA) in June this year for his outstanding contribution to the creative industries. His exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in the South Bank explains why. The exhibition, which opened on 16 June , is due to close on Sunday (18). On the evening I went last week, most of the people wandering around the five rooms devoted to his sculptures and paintings were not Indian. Kapoor is now after all a global figure. Anish Kapoor merchandise in the Hayward Gallery shop Eastern Eye Kapoor has a distinctive signature with his polished surfaces. There are several examples of that in the current exhibition. One is called Iris. There are also a couple of polished installations on the terrace Cloak and Tsunami. People have fun walking round those sculptures which warp perception and space. Large-scale mirrored steel sculptures, placed on the Haywards outdoor terraces, further immerse visitors in a perceptual journey that combines discovery and disorientation, said the Hayward. Tsunami Eastern Eye Cloak Eastern Eye In recent years Kapoor has been working with a colour called Vantablack. It apparently absorbs 99.965 per cent visible light. Out in space, black holes absorb 100 per cent of the light in his vicinity. In fact, a black hole is able to swallow anything in its path. I suppose this is the principle that Kapoor has applied in paintings done in Vantablack. I stood close to one and couldnt tell whether it was a flat surface or a deep dark cavity in the wall. Some were untitled but one on the floor was called Descent into Limbo. This is one of Kapoors most famous seminal void works. In the context of his ongoing exploration of the deep black void, it functions as a terrifyingly depthless black hole opening within the gallery floor. I suppose Kapoor has great fun with Vantablack. Untitled (work in Vantablack) Eastern Eye The exhibition also highlights the artists ongoing exploration of perceptual illusions, including seemingly depthless void works and sculptures coated with Vantablack: a light-absorbing nanotechnology so black it makes three-dimensional forms appear entirely flat when seen head-on, said the Hayward. Descent into limbo (work in Vantablack) Eastern Eye Kapoor also uses red a great deal. Maybe that is his inner Indian manifesting itself. Red is not only a bridal colour in India but is also the colour of blood and life itself. Examples include a couple of giant works Ha Makom, which resembles a collection of boulders, and Mount Moriah at the Gate of the Ghetto, which is best described as an upside down mountain ridge. There is also an oil on canvas, The Dark. In a second new work, a dark mountainous threshold looms down amid a sprawling red landscape contained within the upper gallery, said the Hayward. In a third section, Mount Moriah at the Gate of the Ghetto (2022) defies gravity as it descends from the ceiling, hovering inches above the gallerys floor tiles. Overwhelming in size and emotional intensity, these monumental works elaborate on Kapoors fascination with the sublime. Ha Makom Eastern Eye As you enter the exhibition, there is a sculpture in red, All is Nothing, which looks like exactly like the Babybel Original Mini Lunchbox Snack Cheese you buy at Sainsburys. Only this is so big it has to be squeezed into the space between floor and the high ceiling. Visitors can first explore a gallery completely transformed by a colossal and imposing new work: an inflated PVC membrane that fills the six-metre-high space, challenging our sense of scale and self, is how the Hayward puts it. Some people might feel a bit squeamish entering the room which resembled an abattoir, I have to admit it. The sight of all those entrails Interior of the Body: evocation of ritual sacrifice made me do a quick round. Lastly, the exhibition features some of Kapoors strikingly visceral paintings and sculptures from the past decade, was the Haywards explanation. Created using silicone, resin, and pigment, these intense works conjure splayed-open bodies and internal organs. The paintings and sculptures challenge our psychological responses, asking us to reflect on what it means to exist in an age where violent images are pervasive. The Dark (oil on canvas) Eastern Eye Taken altogether, the artworks in the exhibition ask audiences to shift their attention away from the surface, inviting them to imagine what lies beyond. The Hayward Gallery represents a return for Kapoor. This is where I saw his first major solo exhibition in 1998. In 2002, I encountered his monumental sculpture, Marsyas, occupying the entire length of the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. In 2008, when I had gone to America to cover the presidential election which gave the US its first black president in Barack Obama, I chanced upon one of Kapoors giant mirrors in Rockefeller Plaza in New York. Kapoor had a big exhibition at the Royal Academy in 2009. He enjoyed himself thoroughly by installing a canon that periodically fired blood-red wax and pigment projectiles on a nice wall. The build up of the wax became the sculpture. And now Kapoor has come back to the Hayward Gallery to mark the South Banks 75th anniversary. He said he was thrilled to be returning to the Hayward after 28 years. The Southbank Centre has over the last 75 years been central to Londons cultural life and I am honoured to make an exhibition to celebrate this anniversary. From a bus as you go over Waterloo Bridge, the lettering, Anish Kapoor, looms large. Anish Kapoor is internationally renowned for making art that provokes the senses and the mind, the Hayward summed up. Over the last four decades, he has relentlessly experimented with a wide range of materials to create evocative sculptures and paintings that spark a deep sense of mystery. From black holes to boundless mirrors, Kapoors work interrogates what he calls the space of the object, inviting us to look twice and question how we experience our environment. It continued: Since winning the Turner prize in 1991, Anish Kapoor (born Mumbai, 1954) has become recognised as one of todays leading contemporary artists, with his work permanently exhibited in some of the most important international collections and museums. Kapoor manoeuvres between vastly different scales, across numerous series of work and is renowned for his sculptures that are both adventures in form and engage public space. Whilst Kapoors works have always blurred the boundary between architecture and sculpture, his painting practice remains an intense focus, and central to an artist whose work evades categorisation and continues to be rigorously explorative. The Southbank Centres Hayward Gallery is a world-renowned contemporary art gallery and Brutalist landmark. Since its 1968 opening by Queen Elizabeth II, the Gallery has built a legacy of showcasing the worlds most daring and innovative artists. Ralph Rugoff, the exhibitions curator and the Haywards departing director, commented: Anish Kapoor has been globally celebrated for making art that is both sensorially engaging and deeply thought-provoking, and were delighted to welcome him back to the Hayward 28 years after his first UK retrospective here. Utilising a wide range of scales and adventurously experimenting with different materials, Kapoor takes us on an exhilarating perceptual journey that plumbs existential questions, illuminating surprising links between our experiences of the sublime and extreme abjection, the spiritual and the physical. All is Nothing Eastern Eye Going room by room, the works in each one are explained very simply for visitors. For example, the introduction in Room 1 said: Anish Kapoor creates sculptures and paintings that spark a deep sense of mystery. Ranging from dazzlingly immaculate objects to visions of blood and entrails, his artworks invite us to reimagine some of our most basic ideas about the nature of space and our perception of presence and emptiness. Many works reorient our awareness of spatial and bodily boundaries, of inside and outside, of whats receding and whats protruding. Kapoor reimagines and refashions a range of materials in ways that seem almost alchemical. He makes monumental sculptures that seem to defy gravity, and transforms solid steel into forms that appear utterly fluid. By paying scrupulous attention to physical detail, he finds ways to activate arts immaterial dimensions. Integral to Kapoors art is his exploration of the liminal: threshold spaces linking different states of being. Insisting that sculpture involves much more than an encounter with a physical object, he makes things that are not only meant to be looked at, but function as experiences that we inhabit and which, in turn, inhabit us. The note in Room 2 with the Vantablack works stated: Several works in the next gallery present seemingly depthless voids that confront the limitations of the human eye. Kapoor imagines the void as a space full of what doesnt exist. He notes, Perhaps the darkest black is the black we carry within ourselves, suggesting that the void might be understood as an interior or metaphysical space. Iris Eastern Eye Many of the works in this gallery modify our perception of the surrounding architecture. Descent into Limbo, located centrally in the room, transforms the gallery floor into an entry point to limbo a perplexing state of in-betweenness and spatial ambiguity as if the building itself rests atop a gigantic void. Untitled (work in Vantablack) Eastern Eye The artists exploration of what he calls non-objects works that seem to disappear or dissolve into an immaterial experience includes smaller sculptures coated with Vantablack, a substance created with nanotechnology that absorbs up to 99 per cent of visible light. Subverting our capacity to detect depth, contour or texture, these enigmatic objects seem to exist in an uncertain state, hovering between the physical and the immaterial. On to Room 3: The artworks in this gallery draw on darker aspects of the human experience, invoking in particular the ancient practice of ritual sacrifice a focus of the artists recent work. Likewise, the motif of the mountain present in Kapoors work since his earliest sculptures imbues these works with a sense of the sublime, hovering between wonder and horror. The title of the central work refers to Mount Moriah, which in the Old Testament is described as the place where God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. Only as Abraham raised the knife did God provide a ram to be killed in the childs place. Resembling an upside down mountain, the sculpture suggests a world out of joint, with its oil painted surface evoking blood running from a wound. Mount Moriah at the Gate of the Ghetto Eastern Eye Reflecting on the human connection to sacred rites and ritual, Kapoor observes: I believe deeply that we are religious beings, that we carry within ourselves the mystery, the masked fear that sits behind the ritual act the fear of death. The note in Room 4 said: Kapoor has been influenced by visits to significant rock formations, including Uluru, the sandstone monolith in central Australia, which he described as the most religious place Ive ever been to. As if recalling that experience, this work suggests an otherworldly landscape, punctuated by a rectangular aperture that implies a hollow or a threshold to the unknown. Its title, Ha Makom, derives from a Hebrew phrase meaning The Place, used to express the universal presence of the divine across space and time. Sprawling outward on a monumental scale, Ha Makom embodies Kapoors belief that scale is inherently mysterious, allowing an inanimate object to invite the viewer closer. Kapoor often uses red in his work, a colour infused with emotion and ceremonial associations. This open and visually beckoning colour also associates itself with a dark interior world, the artist notes. I try to make a condition of colour, not a painted surface. I want to make something thats red in such a way that its redness occupies the whole space of your vision. And so finally to Room 5: Throughout his career, Kapoor has explored the interior of the body through abstract means. However, in these recent works, he confronts the subject with unflinching directness. Interior of the body: evocation of ritual sacrifice Eastern Eye Metal trays hold thickly painted silicone forms that resemble bloodied masses of bodily tissue. Trailing intestinal shapes and clumps of white sinew slump across the containers which are fitted with spouts as if to drain blood or other vital fluids. Two of the works feature forms with seemingly depthless openings, enhancing their unsettling presence. Kapoor describes these sculptures as an evocation of ritual sacrifice. Practised throughout the ancient world, sacrifice can be understood as an encounter with the darker aspects of our collective consciousness including fear, horror and disgust bringing the witness to a heightened sense of aliveness. As Kapoor observes, The red of blood is violent but also the matter of life. At the end, it is worth popping into the Hayward Gallery shop to browse through the Anish Kapoor merchandise on sale. I think I might go back for the 5 fridge magnet but Ill have to hurry.
Namish Taneja recalls childhood Kanjak rituals in Delhi, says Navratri in Mumbai is different
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS) Actor Namish Taneja recalled celebrating Navratri in Delhi as a child and going for Kanjak to enjoy puri, halwa and chole. The actor said he was also excited about the money he received during the ritual. Now living in Mumbai, Namish revealed he continues to observe Navratri, although his shooting schedule often limits his fasting to the first and last days. He spoke about what Navratri meant to him beyond the rituals and Namish shared memories of the simplest things that made the festival special when he was small. For me, Navratri is all about childhood memories and innocence. I still remember going for Kanjak as a child. While the puri, halwa and chole were exciting, my biggest excitement was always finding out how much money I would get. I even used to convince people saying, 'I am m small, please include me!' Those little moments, seeing children dressed beautifully and carrying small purses, still bring a big smile to my face, he shared. Navratri fasting has also been part of Namish's life since childhood. However, moving from Delhi to Mumbai has changed how he observes the nine-day festival, mainly because of his shooting schedule. Yes, I have been observing Navratri fasts since childhood. Earlier in Delhi, I used to keep all nine fasts, but after moving to Mumbai and due to shooting schedules, I usually manage the first and last fasts or adjust accordingly. My favourite part of Navratri fasting is the food, especially vrat wale French fries, because potatoes have always been my favourite, he said. The actor also spoke about a tradition he continues to value during the festival: welcoming Kanjaks home. I also love the tradition of welcoming Kanjaks, washing their feet, feeding them, and receiving their blessings, Namish added. For the actor, as stated by him, Navratri is about these childhood memories and family traditions as much as it is about fasting. For the uninitiated, Namish Taneja is known for his performances in television shows such as Ekk Nayi Pehchaan, Swaragini Jodein Rishton Ke Sur, Ikyawann, Vidya and Aye Mere Humsafar.
Over the weekend, Imran Khan was back in the news after he was detained by the Mumbai Police for attempting to participate in a protest demanding the removal of India's Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar. Imran uploaded a picture of himself in a police van on Instagram, which quickly went viral. It also brought renewed attention to some of his popular films and songs. One track that was widely revisited over the weekend was 'Bhaag DK Bose' from his 2011 cult classic, Delhi Belly. The film continues to enjoy a loyal following, thanks to its memorable songs, performances, sharp writing and, importantly, its unabashed use of abusive language, which was quite rare in mainstream Hindi cinema at the time. Bollywood Hungama recently spoke exclusively to Delhi Belly director Abhinay Deo as part of the promotions of his upcoming film, Doosra. When asked about the tremendous demand for Delhi Belly 2, he confessed, Every week, I come up with one idea for the sequel. But there are some technical challenges. At that time, it was UTV who had made it. Now, Disney has acquired UTV. If Disney agrees to make Delhi Belly 2, they may tell me to remove the abuses and make it a clean entertainer. How can a film like Delhi Belly be clean? Yeh ek hi aisi film hai jo kabhi clean nahin ho sakti! The other challenge is that writer Akshat Verma took 9 years to write Delhi Belly. We dont know how long hell take to write the sequel. Abhinay continued, Nevertheless, we are trying. I speak to Aamir Khan (producer of Delhi Belly) almost every month, wherein I ask him, Bhai saab, can we do Delhi Belly 2? (smiles). He would tell me, Yaar tu Akshat ko pakad. Usko bol script finish karein. I think Akshat is writing something. Lets see. When asked if he was also in touch with Imran Khan, Abhinay Deo replied, Yes, very much. Hes such a sweet fellow. I actually did speak to him about another film, completely different from Delhi Belly. However, he was busy shooting for Adhure Hum Adhure Tum and hence he couldnt do it.

In 1975, Gabbar Singh's iconic question, Kitne aadmi the?, from Sholay became a part of popular culture. 51 years later, another question has caught the fancy of moviegoers: Madira peeke so gaye?! Uttered by Raghu Nayak (Ajeet Singh Pallawat) in the blockbuster Drishyam The Conclusion, the hilarious one-liner has become a rage, especially on social media. The fact that the dialogue is also repeated by Jaideep Ahlawat and Kamlesh Sawant's characters has added to its popularity. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Ajeet Singh Pallawat opened up about the viral dialogue, his experience of working with Ajay Devgn and Jaideep Ahlawat, his fascinating journey as an actor and a lot more. Your role, and especially the Madira peeke so gaye? dialogue, has become quite popular (Smiles) All I can say is thank you to the audience for enjoying my dialogue so much. It has also become quite popular on social media. As for the film, I feel very happy to be a part of a franchise that has never disappointed the audience. As a performer, I thoroughly enjoyed essaying Raghu even in Drishyam 2 (2022). This time, the joy was double and hence, I am even more thankful. We performed the dialogue in different variations. Since it was repeated so many times, audiences also took to it. Moreover, Gaitonde (Kamlesh Sawant) and Tomar (Jaideep Ahlawat) also mouthed the dialogue, which added to the fun. You had more screen time in the third part. Did you receive more feedback for your performance in Drishyam The Conclusion? I guess that's the reality screen time se actors ki presence aur uske kaam aur craft ko aankhte hain. At least, that's what I feel. I am glad the makers gave more importance and space to Raghu. Last time, he became a part of the narrative and managed to catch the audience's attention. But yes, this time, the audience noticed my performance even more. I thoroughly enjoyed performing, especially since most of my scenes were with Ajay Devgn sir. This time, I also got to work with some more actors. As performers, that's what we want more and more people should watch and appreciate our work. Your character is also seen performing in a play. Were there any interesting changes made to that sequence? Originally, I was supposed to play Draupadi! But the makers and the director took a creative decision. They felt that if the depiction of Draupadi didn't come across as intended, toh arth ka anarth ho sakta hai. Hence, just a few days before the shoot, my role in the play was changed from Draupadi to Chanakya. There were also some scenes featuring me, beautifully written by Aamil Keeyan Khan, which further established Raghu Nayak's love for acting. However, they were edited out, probably because they didn't fit into the film's pace and rhythm. Also, the scenes that were retained were enough for the audience to understand his world and life. Nevertheless, those deleted scenes were quite interesting and had some fun one-liners as well. How was the experience of working with Ajay Devgn and Jaideep Ahlawat? It was amazing. You understand why they are so respected in the world of acting. You can sense that they draw from their real-life experiences while performing. The way they respond to a scene or your dialogue, you realize that there's a certain depth to their performances. Nothing feels shallow. I come from a theatre background and it's easy for us to recognize when actors are completely immersed in their characters. It's almost as if you're not talking to the actor but to the character himself. Hence, I got to learn a lot from both Ajay sir and Jaideep sir. While going through your filmography, one thing that stands out is that you have played a cop quite a few times (Laughs) I have done around 15-17 roles and, in most of them, I have played a police inspector. My friends even joke, 'Ek permanent vardi silwa lo'! But I have no complaints. I am happy to be getting interesting roles and opportunities to perform for the audience. Also, whether it was Sector 36 (2024) or Vedaa (2024), my characters had significance. They were not limited to saying 'Tumhe giraftar kiya jaata hai' or 'Police ne tumhe chaaro taraf se gher liya hai'! They had a lot more to say and do. In Criminal Justice, I again played a cop, but the character also had a personal life that was explored. In the Drishyam series, Raghu Nayak is an aspiring actor and often expresses his desire to pursue a career in acting. In real life, did you also always want to become an actor? Yes, you could say that. I am from Jaipur and I was in Class 6 or 7 when I performed at a 'Bal Sabha' in my school. I received a lot of applause from my teachers and classmates. You can say I tasted blood that day! When I was in Class 9, I read an interview with Irrfan Khan sir in which he credited NSD (National School of Drama) for his journey. I immediately opened the directory and called NSD. I asked them how I could get admission to the institute. The person on the other end asked me, 'What do you do?'. I replied, 'I am a student in Class 9'. He said, 'Beta, pehle graduate ho ke aao'! From that day onwards, I decided that I would graduate only so that I could get admission to NSD. In 2006, I attended an NSD workshop but didn't get selected for admission. I prepared again in 2007 and, luckily, I got selected. It was a life-changing experience. You were also a part of Poster Boys (2017) I did a play called Main Hoon Yusuf Aur Ye Hai Mera Bhai. The associate director of Poster Boys saw the play and asked me to audition for a role. I had just arrived in Mumbai and hadn't faced the camera much. But I was happy that an offer had come my way and immediately accepted it. It was a fun experience. I got a chance to meet Shreyas Talpade and we hit it off very well. In fact, I am also a part of his upcoming directorial, Sar Car Ki Seva Mei. Did you get a chance to interact with Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol? Yes. It was a comeback film of sorts for Bobby sir. Since we shot together for around 30-35 days, I got plenty of opportunities to interact with both of them and we developed a bond. In fact, Sunny sir had prepared a speech from Othello as part of his preparation to apply to a drama school in London. He has never spoken about it openly, but I know about it (smiles). What's next? I continue to do theatre. I recently performed in a play called Virasat. It's a fascinating experiment a live performance that goes on for three-and-a-half hours! It is directed by Anuradha Kapur, former director of NSD, and produced by the KNMA group from Delhi. The script has been written by Mahesh Elkunchwar, the prominent Marathi playwright. As for films, Sar Car Ki Seva Mei will be released soon. I am also a part of Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga 2. Since I was in the first part, I have a small role in the sequel as well.

The initiative comes ahead of the release of Ranabaali, the period action drama directed by Rahul Sankrityan. Set against the backdrop of the Madras famine of 187678, the film features Vijay Deverakonda as Ranabaali, a warrior who fights against British rule, while Rashmika plays Jayamma, his wife and companion.

AI skills redraw entry-level jobs map
Indias IT-BPM sector is set to revive fresher hiring after a sharp contraction, but the recovery is rewiring the skills companies seek in graduates.Fresher hiring in the sector is projected to rise to up to 2.1 lakh in FY27, after falling to an estimated 1.75 lakh in FY26 from 4 lakh in FY22, according to technology consulting and talent advisory firm HAN Digitals IT-BPM Graduate Hiring Outlook 2027.However, demand is increasingly shifting towards artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), data engineering, cybersecurity and other specialised technology roles, away from conventional entry-level coding and business process outsourcing jobs.IT Services players will remain the largest employers of the sectors freshers, accounting for about 60% of hires, though growth now will be concentrated in AI-adjacent and specialised roles.GCCs are the fastest-growing channel, expected to recruit 28% of talent as they expand intake into Tier II/III cities. Pure-play BPOs share keeps shrinking, mirroring the shift from routine execution to specialised, AI-adjacent work.The rise in fresher hiring reflects a structural reset in how IT services firms are building their talent pyramid, said Saravanan Balasundaram, CEO, HAN Digital Solution.As system integrators and IT Service providers sign more AI, data engineering and AI-enabled deals with existing and new clients, the bench capacity reduced by layoffs over the last few years can no longer absorb the demand, he said. At the same time, new AI roles in data engineering, AI testing, annotation and model operations are opening up at the base of the pyramid, where AI-ready graduates can be skilled and deployed at scale, while mid-level hiring in the four+ years band remains under cost and productivity pressure.The shift is changing expectations from new recruits. As AI tools take over parts of routine coding, testing and repetitive tasks, employers increasingly want graduates who can work with AI systems, validate their outputs and apply technology to business problems.The skillsets that companies are hiring for are definitely changing, said Sangeeta Gupta, senior VP, Nasscom. Its much more focused on AI capabilities there are new jobs that are also opening up with data centres coming up.The traditional model of bulk hiring, six months of training and deployment is also changing. The new kind of freshers companies need are AI-native, she said.This change is also visible in salaries. Freshers with AI-allied skills can command significantly higher pay, indicating that employers are increasingly paying for specialised skills rather than graduate headcount alone.Indias Tier-1 IT Services players 2027 fresher model offers Rs 1222 lakh for select specialised engineers in AI, data engineering, cybersecurity and enterprise tech as the premium shifts toward specialised technology capability, found the report.This would never happen in the past, said Gupta, citing Infosys plan to offer up to Rs 21 lakh for certain specialised tech roles. Entry-level salaries across ITeS meanwhile have largely stagnated at Rs 3-4 lakh for years.Recruitment geography is widening too. Bengaluru remains the leading fresher destination, accounting for an estimated 25% of onboarding, followed by Delhi-NCR at 17%, Hyderabad at 16%, Chennai at 15% and Mumbai and Pune at 10% each. Yet, Tier 2/3 corridors are outpacing metro growth, albeit on a smaller base, at 35% year-on-year.Coimbatore, Jaipur, Kochi, Indore, Ahmedabad, and Visakhapatnam are attracting freshers via local GCC centres and IT services players seeking lower-cost talent pools beyond major metros.
Gautam Adani shares what Michael Bloomberg's vision means for India
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Oct 14 (IANS) Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, said on Wednesday that leadership is not measured by the milestones we celebrate today, but by the commitment to expand what humanity can achieve tomorrow, and very few embody that better than Bloomberg Co-founder Michael Bloomberg. In a post on LinkedIn, Gautam Adani spoke about his meeting with Michael Bloomberg during the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi. His line of questioning crystallised something for me. Nations need two kinds of infrastructure to endure. The first is visible and includes ports, transmission corridors, green hydrogen plants, gigawatt-scale compute clusters and transit systems. The second is invisible but decisive because it enables the first. It rests on trusted data, accountable institutions and governance treated as an operating discipline rather than a stage for announcements, said the billionaire industrialist. Two builders doing their part in a rapidly transforming world will not always view every milestone through the same lens. Our perspectives reflect our operating realities. From an emerging economy, the imperative is immediate. It means delivering the baseload power, industrial capacity and digital access to lift hundreds of millions into economic security without delay. From mature capital markets, the focus often leans toward the speed of decarbonisation and regulatory alignment, said the Adani Group Chairman. Yet beneath these differences lies a shared conviction that clean energy and affordability must move in lockstep. Decarbonisation cannot be an ideological decree that prices out ordinary citizens, shuts down factories or stalls the Global South. If green energy is not reliable and viable for a small business owner in Gujarat or a household in Uttar Pradesh, the transition will collapse under its own weight, the industrialist further stated. Equally, clinging to legacy systems ignores the existential reality of climate volatility. Real progress demands that capital, policy and execution lock arms to drive down the green premium until clean power is undeniably the cheaper, superior choice, said Gautam Adani. This pragmatism is what makes Mikes record so instructive. When he addressed the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Delhi yesterday, he spoke with conviction about Indias momentum across artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing and green infrastructure. It was not rhetoric crafted for a podium. Bloomberg has operated on Indian ground for thirty years, backed by nearly two decades of philanthropic partnership, said the Adani Group Chairman. Michael and Gautam Adani also discussed Dharavi, the Mumbai redevelopment that will test our collective capability. Mikes tenure in New York showed how municipal data and rigorous execution can serve dense urban communities. Dharavi cannot be approached as a real estate parcel. It is a vital, self-sustaining ecosystem of micro-entrepreneurs, multigenerational households, and relentless human grit. Its renewal cannot be measured in square footage. It must be judged by the tangible expansion of dignity through climate-resilient homes, modern sanitation, reliable power, and protected livelihoods, Gautam Adani observed. By marrying engineering discipline with community trust, Dharavi can stand as an enduring benchmark for urban regeneration across the developing world, the industrialist said. True nation-building demands four non-negotiable forces, namely patient capital, physical execution, transparent governance and capable local leadership. None can substitute for another, said Gautam Adani.
Mad Sandhu murder: Punjab Police arrests key accused from Mumbai
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 14 (IANS) In a major breakthrough in the high-profile LGBTQ content creator Mad Sandhu murder case, Punjab Polices Counter Intelligence wing in Jalandhar, in coordination with the Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), has arrested key accused Jobanpreet from Mumbai and recovered three pistols, five magazines and 11 cartridges from his possession. According to Punjab Police, preliminary investigation has revealed that Jobanpreet allegedly played a role in the movement of weapons, financing and providing logistical support to the shooters at the behest of foreign-based handlers. The accused has also confessed to his alleged involvement in three firing incidents linked to extortion in Tarn Taran district, Punjab's Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said. The arrest is being seen as a significant development in the investigation into the murder of influencer Madhusudan Sandhu, popularly known as Mad Sandhu, who was shot dead in Amritsar on October 3. Investigators are now probing the wider network allegedly operating behind the crime, including the supply and movement of illegal weapons, the financing of criminal activities and the role of handlers based abroad. The recovery of firearms and ammunition is expected to assist investigators in establishing further links between the accused and other individuals suspected of involvement in the case. DGP Yadav said further investigation is underway to uncover the broader network and establish its backward and forward linkages. The arrest is expected to provide investigators with further leads into the alleged conspiracy surrounding Mad Sandhus murder and other extortion-related firing incidents in the region. Earlier, Commissionerate Police Amritsar arrested two accused -- Harsimran Singh and Fateh Singh -- from Gujarat. Both accused are residents of Sanghe village in Tarn Taran, and allegedly played a role in conducting recce in connection with the murder, police said.

Sara Ali Khan recalls weighing almost 100 kg when she discovered her dream of becoming an actor
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS) Actress Sara Ali Khan has revealed that she weighed almost 100 kg when she rediscovered her childhood dream of becoming an actor while studying history at Columbia University. While speaking to Anil Kapoor on his show India Ke Top 1%, Sara, who had initially planned to pursue a law degree, said a theatre course at the university reignited her passion for acting and convinced her to give the profession a try. Anil asked Sara: So when did you decide to become an actor? I always wanted to become an actor since my childhood. But then I used to enjoy academics a lot. I used to enjoy studying. Like you said, I went to Columbia. I was studying history there. I thought I will do my law degree there. She recalled doing a theatre course there then at university. And when I went on stage and performed the desire of my childhood which I had kept out of my mind started arising again. So I thought I have to do this. I have to try. That's how it happened. And I was almost 100 kg at that time. Anil also questioned Ayushmann Khurrana, who was promoting his upcoming film Udta Teer, about when he decided to become an actor, to which he replied: I fell in love with acting when I saw you. Asked who encouraged him the most, Ayushmann said: My father used to encourage me a lot. He has encouraged me since my childhood. I am a millennial, so in our time people didn't even try to enter the industry. Especially, you belong to a traditional family from a small city. I was probably one of the few kids in the school whose parents used to encourage towards arts, performing arts. So I think my father has really encouraged me.My grandmother used to sing in the Gurudwara at her time. My grandmother used to do mimicry. So I got my art from there. But I got my encouragement from my father.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS) Actor Adivi Sesh has urged the Assam government to carefully review the proposed resort development in the ecologically sensitive Kaziranga region, saying the need to prioritise wildlife conservation, environmental protection and the concerns of local communities. Speaking about his concerns, Sesh shared, Nature does not belong to us; we are only its temporary custodians. When we talk about a place like Kaziranga, we are not simply talking about a national park or a tourist destination. We are talking about a living ecosystem that has existed for generations, a home to extraordinary wildlife, and a natural heritage that belongs to every Indian and, in many ways, to the world. In a letter, the actor highlighted the importance of safeguarding Kazirangas ecosystem, home to the greater one-horned rhinoceros, and called for transparency regarding the land involved and independent environmental assessments wherever necessary. The greater one-horned rhinoceros is not just a symbol of Assam; it represents the incredible biodiversity that we have a responsibility to protect. Once an animal loses its habitat, once a natural corridor is disrupted or an ecosystem is permanently altered, restoring that balance can be incredibly difficult, sometimes impossible. He added: I understand that tourism can generate employment, create opportunities and contribute to the local economy. But development must be planned with a long-term vision, particularly when it concerns ecologically sensitive regions. We need to ask ourselves whether every piece of land needs to be commercially developed, and whether the immediate benefits of construction justify the possible long-term consequences for wildlife and the environment. Sustainable tourism should be about experiencing nature while preserving it, not about changing the very landscape that makes a place special in the first place. Sesh shared that his concern extends beyond the rhinos and the wildlife that call Kaziranga home. There are local communities who have lived in and around this landscape for generations, whose lives, livelihoods and traditions are deeply connected to the land. Their voices, experiences and concerns must be part of any decision-making process that affects their surroundings. Conservation cannot succeed if the people who have coexisted with nature for generations are left out of the conversation. Through this letter, I sincerely urge the Assam government to carefully review the implications of the proposed resort development, ensure complete transparency regarding the land involved, and commission appropriate independent environmental assessments wherever necessary. I hope that all relevant ecological, legal and community considerations are examined before any irreversible decisions are made. This is not about opposing development; it is about asking for development that is thoughtful, responsible and sustainable. The actor said that Kaziranga is a priceless natural treasure, and we owe it to future generations to protect its wildlife, its forests and the people who call this region home. The decisions we make today will determine what we leave behind tomorrow.

And I want to thank you all so much for coming out to share this. The caption section: Thank you to the wonderful people of Japan for making this visit, and every visit to this incredible country, so special! The Cruise stars as Digger Rockwell.

Shiv Sena(UBT) accuses Centre of institutionalising authoritarianism in 'Samaana'
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS) The Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray on Wednesday launched a blistering attack against the Centre, accusing it of institutionalising authoritarianism and systematically muzzling public dissent. The Thackeray camp's criticism comes in the wake of the Delhi Police's decision to strip Jantar Mantar of its decades-long status as a designated demonstration venue. The Thackeray camp in an editorial in the party's mouthpiece, 'Samaana', noted that under new police orders, protests have been pushed far away from the seat of power to remote locations -- Ramlila Maidan (4 km away), CBD Ground in Shahdara (12 km away), and Burari Ground (20-21 km away). The party argued this is a deliberate strategy to ensure public agitation creates no ripples in Parliament or the national consciousness. Highlighting the commercialisation of democratic rights, the editorial pointed out that venues like Ramlila Maidan cost upwards of Rs 1.5 lakh per day, require months of advance booking, and are frequently tied up for religious or ruling-party events. Contrasting this with the accessible, fee-free nature of Jantar Mantar, the editorial labelled the new financial hurdles an exorbitant Jizya tax levied on those daring to voice opposition. Drawing comparisons to Indias freedom struggle -- where historic movements thrived around Chandni Chowk, Daryaganj, and near Parliament -- the editorial stressed that peaceful assembly is a constitutionally protected right. Pushing voices outside city limits, it argued, signals deep-seated administrative fear. The administrative clampdown follows heightened political friction surrounding demonstrations by groups like the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) demanding accountability over electoral integrity, which triggered heavy security deployments and mass preventive detentions in the capital, the editorial added. The Thackeray faction asserted that opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, have strongly condemned the crackdown, while legal challenges against the de-notification of Jantar Mantar have rapidly moved to the Delhi High Court. Firing a stern warning at the Central government, the editorial said, Jantar Mantar has become a living memorial of agitations. The BJP rule converted a symbol of democracy into a memorial. This memorial of Jantar Mantar will become the tomb of dictatorial tendencies. Naturally, Jantar Mantar will not stay quiet; the present rulers themselves will have to run away. The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena claimed that when a government begins to fear its own public, the countdown to its end has officially begun.

He then shared a screenshot of the chat between his brothers and added: Exhibit A, look at these. I send one, two, three, four messages, and all I get are emoticons, or what do you call those? Nick replied: We're with each other all the time. You show us the pictures in real life. To which, Kevin said: You're texting us as we're sitting at the table together. Joe answered back by saying: I'm just like, you guys are coming at me right now. I'm just feeling really insecure.All I'm saying is if you send something, I feel like, what is this, Instagram? Why am I just getting likes out here? Talking about Joe, Kevin and Nick, the trio rose to fame as members of the pop rock band the Jonas Brothers. The group released their debut studio album It's About Time through the Columbia label in 2006.

Sensex, Nifty open flat amid mixed cues; IT shares shine
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS) Domestic equity benchmarks opened on a muted note on Wednesday with investors weighing supportive domestic cues against persistent global headwinds. Nifty began the session at 22,715.75, down 6.20 points or 0.03 per cent. Similarly, Sensex opened at 73,049.76, up 15.98 points or 0.02 per cent. However, sectoral performance remained mixed with technology stocks leading gains. Nifty IT emerged as the top gainer, rising more than 1 per cent, followed by Nifty MidSmall IT & Telecom and Nifty FMCG which surged up to 0.38 per cent. Nifty Media and Nifty Private Bank were also in positive territory. Meanwhile, Nifty Consumer Durables fell 0.67 per cent. Healthcare-related indices remained under pressure with shedding up to 0.6 per cent. According to market experts, Tuesday's sharp rally in the Nifty came as a surprise in an otherwise weak and downtrending market, largely driven by short-covering activity. The trigger for the upswing was Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's remarks that the government would carefully review stakeholder feedback on the long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax and securities transaction tax (STT), they added. The comments raised hopes of potential policy changes, boosting investor sentiment. Analysts also highlighted the RBI's recent measures to curb currency market speculation which helped the rupee appreciate nearly 1.5 per cent over the past two trading sessions. However, caution persists as the US 10-year Treasury yield remains around 5.2 per cent and Brent crude trades near $106 per barrel, both of which are viewed as significant headwinds for equities. While these factors could limit the sustainability of the rally, analysts believe sectors such as financials, telecom, metals and automobiles could remain relatively resilient on expectations of healthy second-quarter earnings. Technically, analysts note that the recent surge has revived hopes of a move towards the 23,200 level. They further noted that the index is approaching a congestion zone that could challenge further upside momentum. Immediate support is seen around 22,550, while a decisive move above the 22,787-22,880 hurdle could strengthen bullish momentum. Additionally, Asian equities rebounded after two consecutive sessions of losses, supported by expectations that the US Federal Reserve may adopt a less aggressive approach to interest rate hikes next year. Crude oil prices advanced as traders assessed supply risks stemming from clashes involving Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis and Saudi Arabia, while also monitoring the prospect of increased Russian diesel supplies to global markets.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS) Actor Arjun Bijlanis wife Neha Swami recently opened up about her love story with her actor husband on Puja Banerjees podcast. She recalled how the actor asked her to be his girlfriend before he had even begun his acting career. Sharing details of their first meeting and the beginning of their relationship, Neha revealed how Arjun made a sweet promise that eventually won her over. Recalling their first encounter, Neha said she had come to Mumbai for a holiday and was staying at her aunts house. She met Arjun about an hour or two before she was due to get her visa. At the time, he had not started his acting career. When they met again, he asked her where she was from and what she did. Neha told him that she had come to visit her aunt and was not doing anything professionally. Neha recalled that Arjun later got her phone number through a friend and called her with a rather direct proposal. He says, I want to be your boyfriend. You have to say yes right now, she recalled. Taken aback by his insistence, Neha asked him what he did. Arjun replied that he was not doing anything at the time but added, But if you say yes, I will work for you. I'll do everything for you. Neha said the sweetness of his words eventually convinced her to agree. However, she added that Arjun was determined to make things official immediately. When she asked him to give her a second to think, he insisted that she had to answer then and there. Once she agreed, he declared that they were now girlfriend and boyfriend and told her, From now on, you'll call me baby. Arjun, who appeared in a video on the podcast, meanwhile, spoke warmly about his wife and their enduring relationship. Reflecting on their 22 years together, the actor said, We have been together for 22 years. And I think she's an amazing wife. He further praised Neha for standing by him during the early days of his career, saying, The most amazing wife for supporting me, being with me when I was a nobody. And she still loves me as much as she did 22 years ago. For the uninitiated, Arjun and Neha tied the knot in May 2013 after dating for many years. The couple welcomed their son, Ayaan, in January 2015. Over the years, they have often spoken about their relationship and the support they have given each other through different phases of life.
Brooke Shields celebrates 12 years of Jane The Virgin: Had so much fun playing River Fields
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS) Hollywood actress Brooke Shields is celebrating 12 years of the comedy-drama series Jane The Virgin, looking back on her experience of playing River Fields. Taking to Instagram, Shields said she had so much fun playing the character alongside the shows cast as she marked the 12th anniversary of the series premiere. Cant believe its been 12 years today since #JaneTheVirgin premiered!! I had so much fun playing River Fields with this cast, she wrote as the caption. Jane the Virgin is an American romantic comedy-drama and satirical telenovela developed by Jennie Snyder Urman. The series concluded in 2019. It is a loose adaptation of the Venezuelan telenovela Juana la virgen created by Perla Faras. It stars Gina Rodriguez as Jane Gloriana Villanueva, a devout 23-year-old Latina virgin who becomes pregnant after an accidental artificial insemination by her gynecologist. It parodies common tropes and devices in Latin American telenovelas. Beginning with the fourth episode of season three, the series's on-screen title card was modified, with The Virgin crossed out in favor of a comedic substitution corresponding to each episode. This mirrored the storyline, in which Jane is no longer a virgin. As for Shields, she started modeling at 11 months old and gained notoriety for her leading role in Louis Malle's Pretty Baby, in which she appeared in nude scenes shot when she was 12. She continued modeling into her late teens and starred in several dramas in the 1980s, including The Blue Lagoon and Franco Zeffirelli's Endless Love. In the 1990s, Shields returned to acting and appeared in minor roles in films. She also starred in the NBC sitcoms Suddenly Susan and Lipstick Jungle. In 2017, Shields returned with a major recurring role in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in the show's 19th season. Shields voiced Beverly Goodman in the animated series Mr. Pickles and its spin-off Momma Named Me Sheriff.
