The weather conditions assume significance as New Delhi hosts the two-day BRICS Summit at Bharat Mandapam. The national Capital has been making final preparations for the high-profile gathering, which will bring together leaders and representatives of 11 major emerging and developing economies. The participating countries are Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, India, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and the UAE. The theme of Indias Chairship 2026 is 'Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability.' According to the latest weather forecast, rainfall is expected to continue over Delhi for the next few days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has advised residents to remain updated about changing weather conditions, particularly during spells of intense rain, thunderstorms and lightning. Rainfall could also affect traffic movement and daily commuting in the Delhi-NCR region, especially during periods of heavy showers. People travelling to work or other destinations have been advised to take weather conditions into account while planning their journeys. The southwest monsoon remains active over several parts of the country. The IMD has forecast heavy rainfall across around 20 states on Saturday, including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan. In Rajasthan, several areas are expected to experience rain accompanied by thunderstorms. The weather department has issued warnings for thunderstorms and lightning in both East Rajasthan and West Rajasthan for September 12. Odisha is also likely to receive rain and thunderstorms, with yellow warnings issued for several districts. The IMD has warned that some parts of the state could record heavy to very heavy rainfall through September 13. Bihar is expected to experience widespread monsoon activity, with rain, thunderstorms and strong winds likely in different parts of the state. Some areas could also receive heavy showers. Haryana is likely to see rain and thunderstorms as monsoon activity continues over northern India. The latest forecast suggests that some parts of the state could receive heavier rainfall along with thunderstorms. In Himachal Pradesh, several areas are likely to remain under unsettled weather conditions, with rain and thunderstorms forecast for Saturday. The IMD has issued rainfall-related warnings for multiple districts. Uttarakhand is also expected to receive fairly widespread rainfall and thunderstorms.

Pink speaks out on Jewish identity amid backlash: Wont take it quietly
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 12 (IANS) Singer Pink has spoken out about her Jewish identity and the backlash she faced after a social media repost, saying she would rather be disagreed with for her own words than judged for something she didn't write. Pink wrote a long post on Instagram, where she has clarified her views on the Israel-Gaza conflict while speaking about her Jewish identity and calling for the protection of innocent lives on all sides. She wrote: Ive been quiet in my own words for a week, which you know isnt like me. So here they are. Last Sunday I reposted somebody elses post about Macklemores set at Ed Sheerans show. It said things in words I didnt write, and I wouldnt have chosen all of them. Then the comments came, and I did what I do when Im hurt, which is post snarky memes and act like Im fine. Thats on me. She shared that a repost isnt a statement, and a meme isnt a spine. Social media makes all of us cheap and fast, and we all know it. But Id rather be disagreed with for what I actually said than hated for what anybody else wrote, so let me say it, Pink said. Pink said she was born a Jew. I didnt pick it, and Ive never hidden it. And this week a whole lot of people decided what I believe without asking me, without checking a single thing Ive ever said or done, because a repost and the word Jew were apparently enough to fill in the rest. But let me fill it in... myself. The singer said that she doesnt speak for Israel, or for any government. Of course I dont speak for Israel, or for any government. I never have. What I said in October 2023 is still exactly what I believe: Hamas is a terrorist organization. Palestinians deserve a future that honors their humanity and their aspirations, she wrote. Protecting innocent life comes first, everywhere, and nobody should ever celebrate the death of a child. Anybodys child. Ive spent a decade as a UNICEF ambassador for kids who didnt choose the country or the war they were born into, and I have grieved every one of them, on both sides of that fence. I didnt do it from behind a screen; I went to those children and held them. Im not going to litigate a complex war in an Instagram caption, and Im not going to recite anybodys slogan to earn back a follower. Pink says she is standing up for her Jewish identity despite backlash, rejecting assumptions about her views while calling for the safety and humanity of Jews, Palestinians, Muslims and Israelis. She says she will continue speaking out in her own words. And now I'm standing up for my own people, and I thought I knew going in how lonely that would be. And it's lonelier than that. But I'm doing it anyway. Something has changed in this country, and can read it in my own comments. Pink says she feels people have unfairly labelled her and assumed her views, but she refuses to stay silent about her Jewish identity and beliefs. From the river to the sea. ionist, spat like it's a slur, by people who couldn't tell you the details of what I believe, because I hadn't told them yet. I wasn't asked. I was told. I don't think most of them hate Jews. She said that she can handle being portrayed as the villain but wont accept it quietly. Pink says that no one has to agree with one thing Israel's government does to not want the Jewish family two rows down from you to be scared or targeted at a concert. That's the scared or targeted at a concert. That's the only thing I'm asking anybody for. To the ones who are frightened this week, Jewish or Muslim or Palestinian or Israeli or just tired of all of it: I see you. And if anybody wants to really know what I think, just ask me. I'm right here. I've never been hard to find. And I'll keep speaking out, in my own words. It's Friday. For working people who have more to worry about than pop stars and pile- ons, it's the end of a hard week. It's also the 25th anniversary of September 11th, and my prayers are with the innocent souls we lost that morning. And at sundown, for Jews, it's Rosh Hashanah, our New Year. Now I'm going to go make dinner for my kids, light the candles, dip some apples in honey, pour a glass of wine and be full of gratitude. That's my tradition. It also happens to be a Jewish one. Shana tova.

Meal satisfaction depends on the balance of food volume and nutrient density. As per Delhi nutritionist Lovneet Batra, whole fruits are more beneficial than processed jams, as they contain more fiber and water, aiding in fullness. Potatoes, with their fiber and nutrients, contrast sharply with chips, which are calorie-heavy post-frying. Air-popped popcorn also provides a greater serving size than peanuts while remaining budget-friendly. Prioritizing nutrient-dense, minimally processed items enhances the quality of meals.

Artists question mismanagement, local exclusion at IFFJK
Srinagar, Sep 11:The curtains may have risen on the first International Film Festival of Jammu and Kashmir (IFFJK) with ambitious promises of global cinema, cultural exchange, and an international platform for filmmakers, but for several local artists, filmmakers, and cultural figures, the experience appears to have been marked by confusion, poor coordination and a deep sense of exclusion. Even as the Jammu and Kashmir government highlighted an overwhelming global response, claiming that the festival had received 875 film submissions from around 50 countries, criticism from members of the local creative community has raised uncomfortable questions about whether the event lived up to the standards expected of an international film festival. At the heart of the criticism is alleged organisational chaos. One participant, Muzakir Ali, expressing strong disappointment over the conduct of the festival, described the event as completely disorganised, poorly prepared and unprofessional. According to him, the programme schedule was released barely a day before the event, only for significant changes to be made without adequate communication. The confusion, he alleged, began with registration and passes. While some participants completed the registration process, passes were reportedly being distributed on unclear grounds. Eventually, the participant claimed, entry appeared to be granted without the passes being strictly required. The larger problem, however, was the absence of information. The participant said it took nearly three hours at the venue to understand which events were taking place and where. With changes in the programme reportedly not communicated clearly, visitors were left searching for information. For an event projected as an international film festival, there was no visible information booth and hardly anyone available to guide visitors about the programme, venues or changes, the participant said, questioning the priorities behind the elaborate preparations. The criticism also extended to the scale of decoration at the venue. While elaborate floral arrangements and large-scale dcor dominated parts of the festival space, critics questioned whether the emphasis on visual grandeur had come at the cost of basic festival management and visitor facilitation. KASHMIR FACING TOTAL WASHOUT Playwright and artist Sohal Lal Kaul struck a more pointed note, contrasting the concerns of visiting filmmakers with those of the local creative community. Outside filmmakers are bothered about issues in subtitling; Kashmir is bothered about a total washout, he remarked, reflecting the growing frustration among sections of local artists over what they see as a missed opportunity. Broadcaster and former producer of Sheharbeen at All India Radio Srinagar, Masood Uri, questioned what the festival had tangibly delivered for the region's own artists, filmmakers and producers. What have the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially local artists, filmmakers and producers, achieved from this festival? he asked. Masood said that while the festival was projected as a major cinematic initiative, the event had not, in his view, produced visible commitments that could strengthen the local film ecosystem. He also questioned why broader concerns relating to local cultural infrastructure and platforms for artists had not found adequate space in the discussions surrounding the festival. More significantly, Masood alleged that local producers, writers and artists were not adequately represented or invited. ALLEGATIONS OF DOUBLE STANDARDS Singer and composer Waheed Jeelani raised concerns about what he described as unequal treatment of local artists. A sad double standard at the so-called Film Festival, Jeelani said. Outside artists were given the main stage and every facility, while our valued Kashmiri artists were confined to peripheral spaces, with some even made to sit on the grass without basic arrangements. He questioned whether such treatment reflected the respect that Jammu and Kashmir's own artists and cultural traditions deserved. The criticism points towards a larger concern repeatedly voiced by local cultural practitioners: whether an event organised in Jammu and Kashmir can truly claim to celebrate cinema and culture if the region's own filmmakers, musicians, writers and artists do not occupy the centre of the conversation. FILM SHIFTED AT THE LAST MINUTE Artist and filmmaker Ramesh Zadoo described his experience as extremely disappointing and unprofessional after his film Batt Koch reportedly underwent a last-minute change in its screening schedule. According to Zadoo, the film had initially been scheduled for screening at SKICC, Srinagar, on September 9. However, he later learnt that the screening had been shifted to INOX Srinagar on September 10 as the closing film. The change, he said, came after he had already circulated the original screening details among his contacts, including guests and invitees. A last-minute change of this nature causes embarrassment not only to the filmmaker but also to everyone who has been informed and made plans accordingly, Zadoo said. He described the development as indicative of a serious lack of coordination, communication and professionalism in the conduct of an event of such scale. What was expected to be the first International Film Festival of Jammu and Kashmir increasingly feels like a photo-session-driven event rather than a professionally managed film festival, he said, adding that filmmakers and artists deserved greater respect. For Zadoo, the issue went beyond a single screening. Batt Koch deserves a dignified screening, proper communication and respect for the people behind the film, he said. BIG NUMBERS, BIGGER QUESTIONS The criticism stands in sharp contrast to the optimism projected by the government ahead of the festival. In an official communication, the government said the inaugural IFFJK had received 875 film submissions from around 50 countries, describing it as evidence of growing global interest in Jammu and Kashmirs cinematic potential. Organised by the Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) in collaboration with the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), the festival was envisioned as a platform to establish Jammu and Kashmir as a vibrant destination for cinema, creativity and cultural exchange. Festival Director Shreya Singhal had described the response as rousing, saying the festival was progressing well. But the experiences shared by artists and participants suggest a striking disconnect between the official narrative and the concerns emerging from the ground. The fundamental question being raised by the artistic community is not whether Jammu and Kashmir should host an international film festival. On the contrary, many believe the region deserves one. The question is whether the festival can succeed in the long term without professional planning, transparent communication and meaningful participation by local artists and filmmakers. An international festival, cultural practitioners argue, cannot be defined merely by the number of countries represented, celebrity appearances, elaborate venues or decorative spectacle. Its success must also be measured by the experience it offers filmmakers, the dignity it extends to artists, the opportunities it creates for local talent and the cultural legacy it leaves behind. For Jammu and Kashmir, the inaugural edition of IFFJK was an opportunity to announce itself on the global cinematic map. For some members of its own artistic fraternity, however, it has also become an occasion to ask whether, amid the lights, dcor and spectacle, the voices closest to home were heard at all. The first edition may have brought cinema to centre stage. The challenge now is to ensure that, in future editions, professionalism, communication and Kashmirs own creative voices are not left behind.
