NCP-SP chief Sharad Pawar discharged from Mumbai hospital in stable condition
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 7 (IANS) NCP-SP Chief Sharad Pawar was discharged on Saturday from Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital in a stable condition after receiving treatment for a chest infection and a bronchitis attack. Pratit Samdani, the doctor treating the NCP-SP Chief, confirmed that Pawar is recovering well and will continue his medication and recovery at his Silver Oak residence in Mumbai. Given his age, Pawar has been advised to follow essential precautions and rest. Sharad Pawar has been discharged in a stable condition . He will continue his treatment at home... He had suffered from a bronchitis attack and a chest infection, which are now improving... He has been asked to continue his treatment at home and to take standard precautions that every citizen of the country should take... Given his age, a few additional instructions have been provided. He is very compliant, and I am very sure that he will take care of himself, Samdani said. Pawar was on Wednesday discharged from Ruby Hall Clinic in Pune on following treatment. His health condition is stable and has shown improvement. He will be going straight to his Mumbai residence from the hospital, according to an official statement issued by Parvez K Grant, Chief Cardiologist, and Chairman and Managing Trustee of Ruby Hall Clinic. Pawar was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic on Monday after experiencing a cough and chest discomfort. He had embarked on a tour of rural areas to assess the drought situation in Maharashtra. During this tour, he was interacting with farmers in drought-affected regions to understand issues such as water scarcity, crop conditions, and agricultural challenges. However, after feeling uneasy during the tour, Pawar cut his trip short and was subsequently hospitalised for a medical check-up. Upon complaining of chest pain while coughing and breathing, he was evaluated by doctors. He received treatment under the supervision of Parvez Grant and was kept under observation as a precautionary measure. After two days of treatment, Pawar's condition improved. Grant clarified in the statement that Pawar was discharged on Wednesday, his health is stable, and he is doing fine. On Wednesday, the NCP-SP Chief was admitted to the Breach Candy hospital and kept under medical observation. This was the third time Sharad Pawar was admitted to the hospital this year. Earlier, on February 9, he was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic due to a chest infection and cough, after which he was discharged on February 14. Later, on February 22, he was hospitalised again due to mild dehydration and discharged on February 25. In November, he had to be hospitalised once again due to ill-health. On Sharad Pawar's discharge from the hospital, Union Minister Ramdas Athawale said, Sharad Pawar ji is a senior leader of Maharashtra and the country. Political parties may be different, but Pawar Saheb was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital two or three days ago. I was in Delhi, so I had decided to meet him today. However, the news that he has been discharged from the hospital and that his health is fine is good news. Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Sharad Pawar and warmly requested the veteran politician to prioritise his health and rest. The Prime Minister told Sharad Pawar that Supriya Sule (daughter of Sharad Pawar) and we will handle the country; you take care of your health and rest. Let your blessings remain with us. The hospital stay gained political traction following a phone call from PM Modi who reached out early on Friday morning to inquire about Pawar's well-being. Pawar thanked the Prime Minister for his call, reassuring him that he was taking rest and added, With all of you around, I have no worries about the country. Thereafter, NCP Working President Praful Patel met Sharad Pawar on Thursday night that sparked the political buzz of merger between the NCP factions. Veteran NCP leader and Maharashtra Minister Chhagan Bhujbal and former Minister and Congress leader Vishwajeet Kadam met Sharad Pawar and inquired about his health. On Friday, Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar, Deputy Chairperson of Maharashtra Legislative Council Sachin Ahir, former Minister Balasaheb Thorat and Shiv Sena-UBT leader Sanjay Raut also visited Sharad Pawar.

Shweta Tripathi says Diwali gifts should be thoughtful and useful, reveals her love for books
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 7 (IANS) Actress Shweta Tripathi feels Diwali gifts should reflect the personality and preferences of the person receiving them rather than follow a 'one gift fits all' approach. Sharing her gifting preferences, the actress told IANS that she loves receiving books and also spoke about her latest collaboration with Shringar for a bindi collection titled 'Jhilmil'. I think Diwali gifts should be useful. I don't like gifts that serve no purpose at all. Sometimes there are hampers and PR gifts, but I feel one gift fits all should not be the approach. If you are gifting someone, keep that person in mind. Of course, your personality as the person giving the gift matters, but so does the personality of the person receiving it, Shweta told IANS. The actress revealed what she wants as a present for Diwali. I love books, so if someone gifts me a book on every occasion, every season or every festival, I would be more than happy. This time, we have also done a little decoration at our shop in Santacruz, she wrote. The actress: Team Batata Vada has collaborated with Shringar, a bindi shop, where we have designed bindis. 'Jhilmil' is the name of the collection, and it is a gift for anyone and everyone who enjoys a little jhilmil in their life. The actress has now reprised the role for Mirzapur: The Movie, which marks the franchise's transition from the streaming platform to the big screen. The film brings back many of the franchise's popular characters, including Pankaj Tripathi as Kaleen Bhaiya, Ali Fazal as Guddu Pandit, Divyenndu as Munna Tripathi, Rasika as Beena Tripathi, Shweta Tripathi Sharma, Shriya Pilgaonkar and Abhishek Banerjee. The film also features Ravi Kishan, Jitendra Kumar, Mohit Malik, Sheeba Chaddha and Sonal Chauhan, among others. Directed by Gurmmeet Singh and written and created by Puneet Krishna, Mirzapur: The Movie is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under Excel Entertainment. The movie was released in cinemas on September 4, 2026, and has been receiving great response.

Kalhanas Rajatarangini makes it to UNESCO list
Srinagar, Nov 6:Kalhanas 12th-century chronicle of Kashmir, Rajatarangini, has been inscribed on UNESCOs Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Regional Register, bringing international recognition to a landmark work of historical writing whose manuscript is preserved in Srinagar. Two other important Indian works, the Mahabharata and KautilyasArthashastra, have also been included in the regional register, officials said. The decision was taken at the 11th session of UNESCOs Memory of the World Committee for Asia and the Pacific (MOWCAP), held in Jakarta, Indonesia. The Union Ministry of Culture announced the inscriptions on Thursday through Press Information Bureau, sharing photographs of the UNESCO certificates on social media. The Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) prepared the nomination dossiers for all three works, playing a key role in securing their inclusion, officials said. With the latest additions, Indias entries in the Asia-Pacific Regional Register have risen to six. The countrys earlier inscriptions, made in 2024, include illustrated manuscripts of TulsidassRamcharitmanas, a 15th-century manuscript of the Panchatantra and Sahrdayaloka-Locana, a work on Indian literary aesthetics. The inscription of Rajatarangini is particularly significant for Kashmir, as the manuscript recognised by UNESCO is preserved at the Oriental Research Library in the Sri Pratap Singh Library Complex in Srinagar. Written in Sanskrit by Kalhana between 1148 and 1149 CE, Rajatarangini is among the earliest systematic historical chronicles of the Indian subcontinent. Comprising 7826 verses divided into eight books, known as Tarangas, it records the history of Kashmirs rulers and dynasties, political developments and socio-cultural life. The chronicle traces Kashmirs history from its legendary beginnings to the reign of King Jayasimha in the 12th century. It is distinguished by Kalhanas efforts to examine historical events through earlier accounts, available sources and critical assessment, rather than relying solely on royal genealogies. The manuscript was written in the Sharada script on traditional Kashmiri birch bark, making it an important document of the regions literary and manuscript heritage. The other two recognised works also represent significant traditions of Indian intellectual history. The Mahabharata manuscript, officially titled 'The Birch-bark (burjapatra) Manuscript of Mahabharata - A Perennial Epic of South Asia', is preserved at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in Pune. The manuscript represents an important witness to the older Kashmiri recension of the Sanskrit epic. Georg Bhler, an Indologist, acquired it in Kashmir in 1875, and it is regarded as a significant textual source. KautilyasArthashastra, officially listed as 'KautilyasArthashastra, Ancient Palm-leaf Manuscript on Governance and Statecraft', is preserved at the Oriental Research Institute in Mysuru. Attributed to Kautilya, also known as Chanakya or Vishnugupta, the ancient Sanskrit treatise deals with governance, administration, economic policy, diplomacy, military strategy, and statecraft. The surviving manuscript is a 16th-century palm-leaf document written in the Grantha script. Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat described the inscriptions as an important recognition of Indias documentary and civilisational heritage, saying the works reflected traditions of historical inquiry, philosophical thought and statecraft. The UNESCO Memory of the World Programme aims to preserve documentary heritage and promote its accessibility and recognition across generations.
