My mother is also from Maharashtra. That's why I know Marathi. My house help was also from Maharashtra, and so we used to talk to her in Marathi. I have also made a Marathi film.

Thane, Sep 08: A 17yearold student, who had scored 95.7 per cent marks in his Class 12 science exams, allegedly died by suicide in Maharashtra's Thane city after failing to secure admission to his preferred higher education institute, police said. The boy, whose family resided in an upscale housing complex in Hiranandani Estate on Ghodbunder Road, sent a message to his family's WhatsApp group stating his intention to end his life. However, before anyone could intervene, the boy jumped to his death from the 22nd-floor refuge area of a residential building on September 4 evening, the police said on Monday. According to police, the boy's family suspects no foul play, attributing the extreme step entirely to academic distress. The teenager recently passed his Class 12 science exams with a score of 95.7 per cent and aspired to pursue a BS-MS dual degree at the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur (Kolkata), the police said. However, he fell short of securing a seat after ranking 10,474 in the aptitude test. His disappointment deepened after failing to secure admission in the reputed institute, they said.

At around 8.15 pm, he sent a message to his family's WhatsApp group stating his intention to end his life. Upon seeing the message and finding his phone switched off, his family immediately alerted the Kasarvadavali police. The police and family members rushed to search the locality and found the teenager lying severely injured on a pavement near his apartment.

UNEP says investing in climate action, air quality to boost economic prosperity
Digital Desk | Nairobi, Sep 7 (IANS) Investments in climate action and air pollution control are key to driving economic prosperity and improving ecosystem and human health, according to a report released by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, on Monday. The report, titled Hidden Assets: The economic and health case for climate and clean air action, was released on the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, which is observed annually on September 7. Compiled by UNEP and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, the report is the first comprehensive global economic assessment of integrated climate and clean-air action, Xinhua News Agency reported. The study demonstrates a significant return on investment, showing that every 1 US dollar allocated toward climate and air pollution solutions generates approximately 15 dollars in economic returns, alongside substantial reductions in pollution-linked mortality and medical expenses. UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen underscored that carbon neutrality and air quality are foundational to global development, public health, energy and food security, and environmental stability. Andersen emphasised that strong leadership from both the public and financial sectors, coupled with effective policy frameworks and technological innovation, is critical to curbing climate-warming emissions and improving global air quality. To operationalise these goals, the report recommends 25 specific interventions that span six sectors: energy and fossil fuel systems, industry, transport, agriculture and food systems, residential cooking and heating, and waste management. It combines both long-term decarbonisation measures and measures that target super pollutants such as methane, black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons. Should the 25 solutions be implemented, annual economic benefits would reach around 2.8 per cent of global GDP by 2035, 4.5 per cent by 2050 and 11.4 per cent by 2100. Market returns exceed implementation costs within 10 years, according to the report. In addition, the 25 measures could avoid an estimated 0.34 degrees Celsius of global warming by 2050 and 1.4 degrees Celsius by 2100, the report says. The 25 measures will also avert 144 million air pollution-related premature deaths alongside millions of cases of chronic disease by 2050, according to the report.

Gold dips 3 pc on weekly basis over hopes of US Fed rate hike
New Delhi, Sep 5 (IANS) Gold prices dipped nearly 3 per cent on a weekly basis due to repricing of US monetary policy and a surge in crude oil raising inflation concerns. On Friday, MCX gold futures (October) inched up 0.03 per cent while MCX silver futures (September) shed 0.07 per cent. The yellow metal stood at Rs 1,52,815, while the white metal stood at Rs 2,37,500. The price of 10 grams of 24-carat gold was at Rs 1,54,884 on Friday down from Rs 1,59,578 seen last Friday, according to data published by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA). Precious metals touched a threemonth high, a midweek rebound after sharp selloff and a final pullback on Friday as markets reacted to a mix of geopolitical tensions, shifting Federal Reserve expectations and strongerthanexpected US labour data. A blockbuster August jobs report on Friday reversed much of the dovish shift from the US Federal Reserve in a single session, a market participant said. Bullion initially found support from geopolitical uncertainty and weakness in the US dollar. However, the escalation in the US-Iran conflict, including Iran's retaliatory attack on Kuwait following renewed US strikes on Iranian rocket launchers near the Strait of Hormuz surged crude oil prices adversely affecting gold. The heightened inflation concerns due to crude oil price rally pushed expectations of a September Federal Reserve rate hike sharply higher. Rising Treasury yields and a stronger dollar consequently outweighed safe-haven demand, leading to a sharp correction in precious metals. The market mood shifted again during the middle of the week after weaker-than-expected US labour-market data and dovish Federal Reserve commentary revived expectations of a less aggressive monetary-policy stance. However, the rebound was short-lived after Friday's August US employment report significantly exceeded expectations. The stronger employment data pushed Treasury yields and the US dollar sharply higher, reversing much of the earlier dovish sentiment, analysts said. Immediate resistance is placed at $4,500$4,530 zone for Comex Gold, while support lies at $4,330$4,360 zone, analysts said. For MCX gold, immediate resistance is placed at Rs 1,56,500Rs 1,57,000 zone, while the support lies at Rs 1,51,500Rs 1,52,000, they added.
