Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 8 (IANS) Actress Manisha Koirala, who was last seen in the streaming series Heeramandi:The Diamond Bazaar, is an animal lover, and feels that compassion for other lives should not be confined to just the home but should also extend to the animals on the streets. On Sunday, the actress took to her Instagram, and shared a series of pictures from her visit to Nepal, where she attended a special event for animal welfare. The pictures featured her with the First Lady of Nepal, Sabina Kafle. She also penned a long note in the caption as she wrote, Some occasions remind us of the simple things that make life beautiful. Kukur Tihar is one of them. I was delighted to be part of this lovely celebration initiated by our First Lady, Mrs. Sabina Kafle. It was a thoughtful way of bringing attention to the voiceless members of our society who give so much and ask for so little. As someone who has always believed in the special place animals hold in our lives, I feel that compassion should go beyond our homes and extend to every animal on our streets. May we become a society that is kinder, more caring and more responsible towards all living beings. A lovely thought, and an even more meaningful message, she added. A few days ago, the actress celebrated her fathers 80th birthday with a heartfelt note, expressing gratitude for seeing him healthy, happy, and full of energy.

He had also enjoyed eight-and-a-half hours of sleep and completed his morning exercises before getting ready for his birthday brunch. Highlighting his discipline and enthusiasm for life, the actress said his approach to health and fitness made him special to the family.

When Sameer explained why every new playback singer sounds like Arijit Singh
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 8 (IANS) Lyricist Sameer once spoke about the phenomenon of new age playback singers sounding the same across the board. An old clip of the lyricist from his podcast Sameer Ka Safarnama has resurfaced on the Internet, and it shows him talking to playback singer Javed Ali about all the singers sounding similar. He said, All the veterans of Hindi film music had their own colour, and style. And all the composers, writers and singers of that time had a wonderful thing. Like it is over today. Nowadays it seems that everyone is singing Arjit Singh. When singers like you perform, it feels fresh, and it seems that there is a little peace and a different voice. Otherwise, every person is sounding the same. And the sound is also sounding the same. No matter what song you listen to, everyone's sound is the same. He further mentioned, The same kind of voice, the same kind of sound. The conviction of people in making a song, in making a film, has also disappeared somewhere. Every man feels that he is just making a proposal, no one is making a film. Making a film is a very personal experience despite it being a collaborative artform. Earlier, we used to sit, jam, meet and talk. Now I have called you, Javed, come and sing a song. You will come and sing a song and leave? But I saw Lata ji and Kishore da for the recordings, they were having fun, while jamming on the song, they were discussing the song, he added.

10-month global manhunt led to arrest of gangster from Ethiopia, says Punjab DGP
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Nov 8 (IANS) A 10-month intelligence-led international manhunt involving spanning across Asia, South America and Africa in coordination with national and international agencies led to the arrest of gangster Gurwinder Singh alias Afridi from Ethiopia, Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav said here on Sunday. Yadav told the media here that Afridi, one of the key kingpins of the Doni Bal-Prabh Dassuwal gang, carried a reward of Rs 5 lakh announced by the state government on information leading to his arrest. He is facing charges of directing targeted killings, extortion-related firing incidents, and organised criminal networks in Punjab while operating from abroad. The DGP said the accused is wanted in more than 30 heinous criminal cases, including five murder cases, attempt to murder, extortion, and Arms Act offences. Saying that his arrest is a major breakthrough against transnational organised crime amid the ongoing campaign 'Gangstran Te Vaar' launched by Punjab Police's Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF), in coordination with the Overseas Fugitive Tracking and Extradition Cell (OFTEC) of Counter Intelligence and support of central agencies, the DGP added that the arrest was secured following his deportation from Ethiopia. This marks the first-ever deportation of a fugitive secured by Punjab Police from an African country, heralding a new chapter in the state's relentless crackdown against organised crime, DGP Yadav said, accompanying Special DGP (AGTF) Promod Ban and Special DGP (Counter Intelligence) Amit Prasad. His arrest marked the successful culmination of 'Operation SHAHID' -- a 10-month-manhunt involving sustained surveillance, strategic intelligence gathering, and tracking across multiple countries, he added. Sharing operational details, the DGP said that accused Afridi had fled abroad from the Mumbai airport to the UAE on March 31, 2025, using a fake passport obtained under the particulars of a Gorakhpur resident and issued from Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh on February 12, 2025. The accused was constantly evading law enforcement agencies across several continents, DGP Yadav said, adding that initially holed up in the UAE, the accused attempted to flee to Mexico via Istanbul, but was deported back to the UAE. Subsequently, the accused slipped into Kenya in April 2026, travelled onwards to Angola in June 2026, and moved to Ethiopia in November 2026. DGP Yadav said that Punjab Police have got a Red Notice issued against Afridi, shared inputs regarding his fake identity and movements with central agencies at critical intervals, and had seven INTERPOL references issued. The persistent multi-agency pursuit led to his detention in Ethiopia on November 6 and his subsequent deportation to India. He was taken into custody by Punjab Police at the New Delhi Airport and is being brought to Punjab to face the law.
Gold, silver outlook: Inflation data and geopolitical tensions likely to drive prices this week
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 8 (IANS) Gold and silver prices are expected to remain volatile in the coming week as investors closely monitor geopolitical developments, crude oil price movements and key inflation data from major economies. Uncertainty surrounding tensions between the United States and Iran, along with expectations about the future direction of global interest rates, is likely to influence investor sentiment in the bullion market. Investors will focus on inflation figures from China, the United States, Germany, Japan and India to assess the outlook for monetary policy. US labour market data and comments from Federal Reserve officials will also be closely watched for clues about the timing of potential interest rate adjustments. Geopolitical developments in the Middle East are expected to remain a major driver of precious metal prices. US President Donald Trump has confirmed further military strikes against Iran while indicating that significant progress has been made in negotiations with Tehran. This has created uncertainty among investors over whether tensions will escalate further or diplomatic efforts will lead to a possible resolution. Apart from the US-Iran situation, developments in Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations will also remain on investors' radar. According to market analysts, the direction of these geopolitical developments could significantly influence demand for safe-haven assets such as gold and silver. In the domestic market, gold futures for December delivery on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) gained Rs 3,682, or nearly 3 per cent, during the previous week to close at Rs 1.42 lakh per 10 grams. Silver futures also recorded gains, rising Rs 5,655, or 3.15 per cent, to settle at Rs 1.84 lakh per kilogram. International markets witnessed a stronger recovery. December gold futures on COMEX advanced $176, or 4.5 per cent, over the week to close at $4,074.90 per ounce. Silver futures climbed $2.60, gaining 5.4 per cent to settle at $51.94 per ounce. Market experts attributed the initial weakness in bullion prices to stronger-than-expected US nonfarm payroll data and improving consumer sentiment. These developments strengthened the US dollar and pushed Treasury yields higher, putting pressure on precious metals. However, gold and silver recovered sharply during the middle of the week as investors returned to lower price levels through bargain buying and short-covering.

Ill Remember This For As Long As I Can, Says Ben Treloar On His Ranji Trophy Umpiring Stint
New South Wales Cricket Umpires: Two Ranji Trophy matches, a handful of new friendships and a fresh taste for Indian cooking are some of the memories Australian umpire Ben Treloar will hold on for the rest of his life after wrapping up his maiden first-class cricket umpiring stint in the country. Treloar spent the second half of October in India before flying back to Sydney. He stood in two Ranji Trophy fixtures - the second-round Elite Group C clash between Delhi and Gujarat at the Palam Air Force B Ground, and then officiated in the third-round fixture between Mumbai and Haryana at the BKC ground in Mumbai. Treloar officiating in the Ranji Trophy games was possible due to the Umpire Exchange Programme between Cricket Australia (CA) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). From India, umpire Parashar Joshi will be in Australia to stand in two Sheffield Shield matches and one One Day Cup fixture. Absolutely - Ill be remembering this for as long as I can remember. So its been an incredible experience and Id love to come back for sure to be either umpiring or just seeing the rest of India. Its an amazing place and one that I can hopefully be able to share with my family one day in the near future, a jet-lagged Treloar said in an interaction with IANS. Treloar, who learnt of his trip to India about six weeks before travelling, came with considerable experience of officiating in 107 mens matches across first-class, List A and T20 cricket, besides two womens ODIs and seven womens T20Is. Yet the Ranji Trophy umpiring debut tested him. He stood on the field for 318.5 overs across four days of a high-scoring draw at Palam. Four days before the game began, Treloar landed in New Delhi in order to adjust to the weather and time zone. He also spent close to 10 hours touring the city with a driver and guide just hours after checking into his hotel at 2 am. The following day, just driving around Delhi, seeing the sights, learning about the history of the city. So, for me, just really embracing the culture, being out in the city, seeing the people, eating the food, getting used to the weather, all those types of things really got me ready for the game that was to be in a couple of days time, he added. He admitted to butterflies on match morning, mostly from wanting to repay the faith of CA and the BCCI, but they eased after day ones play. It wasnt lost on me how prestigious the Ranji Trophy is and the history that competition has, and the players realise that as well, and thats why they play with so much passion in India. So, definitely some nerves, but they were good nerves. It was just about really looking forward to getting the game underway and getting this Indian journey started, added Treloar. Among his fondest memories are the performances he watched up close: a knock of 199 from Priyansh Arya and a double century from Delhi skipper Ayush Badoni. In Mumbai, seeing centuries from bats of Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Musheer Khan, Nishant Sindhu, and Tanush Kotians figures of 8-81 will be forever etched in Treloars mind. Those types of things are really going to stick with me over the course of time. Being part of that and being able to be there and witness it, that was pretty special. The other things that really stuck out to me and quite obvious were how close our officiating team was. My colleagues, Vinod (Seshan) and Sadi (Sadashiv Iyer) and then the match referees as well and their contribution to the team across the two games. I didnt feel like I was coming from the outside or just joining them for a couple of games. All of them made me feel really welcome, part of the team. We just shared all of our responsibilities. So for me, thats what Im going to take out most from these games, just the teamwork that the umpires showed for each other. I made some pretty good friends for the rest of my life there, he added. As the game progressed in Palam, Treloar stopped feeling like he was officiating in a foreign country. The players, too, went out of their way. Oh yeah, a lot of the players, when they were standing next to me in the field or if we were seeing them in the morning before the game started, they just came over and said hello and asked my name and where I was from. So there was some genuine interest there around me, and I was part of that game for them. But they were very welcoming, very encouraging and just hope that I enjoyed my time in India. So it was really nice. On staying switched on through marathon batting innings from both teams at Palam, Treloar said routines honed over two decades kept him going. You fall back onto those routines, making sure youre doing the same thing every ball, and just reminding yourself where you are and bring yourself back in the moment. Were here at Palam, were umpiring Delhi and Gujarat, and were just doing the best job we can. So for me, six balls at a time, same routine, and we just umpire with what we see and hear at the other end and make decisions based on that. Asked if the low-flying aircrafts flying over his head were a distraction, Treloar stated, Yeah, it was. Weve got a similar ground here in Sydney called Drummoyne Oval, where weve got planes that come over quite regularly as well. So I kind of leant on that experience a bit, and Palam theyre a little bit closer, a little bit louder, but by the end of the game, I think, I didnt realise that they were coming over as often as they were. Treloar then drew the difference between the two venues:- on Delhis black soil, balls stayed low and slow, while Mumbais red soil helped the quicks early before breaking up. When youre in Mumbai, with the ball spinning and bouncing a bit, thats a challenge as well. The ball was bouncing higher at times than what you think, and spinning a bit more than you think as well. So youve got to catch up with tracking the ball, he said. Anticipating this, Treloar joined both squads for intense net sessions on similar surfaces two days before the game and on the eve of the clash. I did because when it started to happen during the match, it wasnt a surprise. So wed seen it beforehand and then just to give ourselves the best opportunity. Its not foolproof. Were not perfect, but you give yourself the best opportunity if you can do that practice before, he said of the preparation. Off the field, the food left a deep impression on Treloar - from rich Delhi fare of stuffed potatoes and capsicums, roti, naan and dal to lighter meals in Mumbai. On his first night back home, he cooked butter chicken, saffron rice and roti from scratch for his family. Being in India gave us a real understanding of the different flavour profiles and then being able to come here and then practise them at home and share some of that experience with my family was really special. So they loved it, which was great and thatll be the first of many different meals that well have together with that Indian flavour. Asked if he was now a cooking connoisseur, Treloar laughed. I dont know about a connoisseur, but I enjoy it. Its something away from cricket that you can lose yourself in and yeah, it makes your family happy. So thats great. I love doing it. Treloars journey began with playing cricket at 11. At 23, after three straight summers of club cricket in Australia, England and back home, he sensed his calling lay in umpiring. I did my first sort of umpiring Laws of Cricket course when I was about 16. I was still playing. I did that with my dad who came along and after we finished that, I kept playing for a bit and then I think I was about 23 or 24 when I made the decision to go into umpiring. I was playing cricket on Saturday and then I started umpiring on Sunday. I did that for a season and then once that season had finished, I think the love for umpiring and officiating took over. So, I stopped playing and then took up officiating on a more regular basis. He cleared his Level 2 accreditation through the New South Wales Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association, where he has worked full-time as an education officer for nearly six years and has been on the active umpiring circuit for 21 years. Next for Treloar are umpiring in Premier Cricket games in Sydney and a Sheffield Shield fixture, but a return trip to India remains firmly on his wish list - this time, he hopes, with his family. For now, gratitude runs deep in Treloar for the experiences the umpires exchange programme offered him for the rest of his life. Cricket Australia and the BCCI have got such a strong and positive relationship. I guess all the umpires from both boards are grateful for the investment that theyre making in umpiring and providing those opportunities for some umpires to experience conditions in different countries. Its a great opportunity for those that are involved to bring that experience back to the umpires in their home country and share those learnings and experiences from the games that theyve had. So any of that assistance that we can provide to our colleagues to help them be better in umpiring, and to help them here at home. Cricket Australia and the BCCI have got such a strong and positive relationship. I guess all the umpires from both boards are grateful for the investment that theyre making in umpiring and providing those opportunities for some umpires to experience conditions in different countries.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 8 (IANS) Actress Raavee Gupta called her 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' co-star Smriti Irani a 'thorough professional'. While speaking exclusively to IANS, Raavee added that Smriti never lets her grand political stature come on the set. She was asked, You have worked with Smriti Irani. Given her political journey and professional stature, does that influence her working style on the sets? Calling Smriti extremely 'friendly and warm', Raavee added, She never brings her political image or stature onto the set. She is a very simple and straightforward person. I have never seen her carry herself with any airs. When asked about Smriti's reaction to the show coming to an end, Ravee added that she got extremely emotional. Her character has become iconic, and she is Tulsi. I have seen several reels from the last day of the shoot, and I think everyone was teary-eyed, including her. The show has been such a significant part of her career and her life. It was certainly a very profound moment, Raavee explained. She was also asked about the emotional transition between hearing that the show would go off air and actually bidding farewell to everyone. Were you mentally prepared for the journey to end? To this, Raavee revealed that they were told that it would be a finite show, so they knew it would eventually come to an end. When we entered the final few days of shooting, we were aware that we would soon wrap up. However, the day we shot the Diwali sequence was particularly emotional. The atmosphere on the set was different. Everyone was relatively quiet. Of course, there was happiness, but there was also a strong sense that something was coming to an end. Everyone was a little sad, she revealed.

Vardhaan Puri remembers enjoying Diwali sweets, bursting crackers with grandfather Amrish Puri
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 8 (IANS) Actor Vardhaan Puri remembered enjoying Diwali sweets and bursting crackers with grandfather Amrish Puri as a kid. Looking back on his fondest Diwali memories as a child, he said, My fondest childhood memories are those with my grandparents at home. I used to be obsessed with Kaju Katli. So, Kaju Katli, Moti Choor ke Laddu, Besan Laddu, Kheer, Rasmalai. I used to really enjoy sweets. I still do, but now due to my fitness goals, I try to be very disciplined. I also remember us bursting a lot of crackers and not being very mindful of our environment. I guess that was just a phase of my life, so I have stopped bursting crackers as thats the last thing the world needs at this point. Vardhaan added that the one tradition he has followed since childhood is getting new clothes for Diwali. I like to wear them when I am in the pujas and when the family comes over. That always makes me feel good. He added that they also buy silver and gold every Diwali, either in the form of jewellery or vessels as it is considered lucky. I also like going shopping with my mom and sending out personalized gifts to people whom we hold very close to our hearts, the actor added. For Vardhaan, Diwali is not just a Hindu festival, but a festival for every Indian. I see that on Diwali, people of different faiths, different religions, different castes come together and have a great time together irrespective of their differences. He added that he likes to reset his mind and heart on Diwali. If I have any grudges or any kind of ill feelings towards anyone, I like to make a call to them or reach out to them in some way and create a happy, peaceful relationship between us. Basically, I like to let bygones be bygones and work on any relationship that might not be at the point where I would like it to be. That is something I want to stop limiting this behavior to this beautiful festival, and I want to practice it on an everyday basis.
