Messi Vs Gayle: Keralas Contrasting Saga Of Two Sporting Superstars

Congress MLA Chandy Oommen: One sporting superstar arrived in a helicopter, watched cricket, visited a grave, and went sightseeing for a proposed stadium, and the other has so far arrived only in announcements, promises, and government files, and now an investigation into the episode has been announced by Chief Minister V.D.Satheesan. That, in a nutshell, is Keralas curious tale of Chris Gayle versus Lionel Messi. Gayle, the Universe Boss, landed in the state capital on Saturday, watched two Kerala Premier League matches and was in Puthuppally, Kottayam, the following day. His visit was coordinated by Congress MLA Chandy Oommen, son of former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy. After arriving by helicopter, Gayle first visited Oommen Chandys tomb, before attending a meeting at a local school and being driven around by Chandy to possible sites for an international cricket stadium, proposed under the PPP model, and the brainchild of the Congress lawmaker. Messi, meanwhile, was supposed to do something even bigger: bring Argentina to Kerala. The announcement first raised hopes in 2024. When the Argentine superstar did not arrive, 2025 became the new schedule. Then came 2026. Kerala waited, football fans waited, and assurances kept coming. Messi, however, remained firmly elsewhere. Gayle, rather inconveniently for those selling the Messi dream, actually turned up. The political after-match analysis has naturally begun on social media. Left-leaning handles have been having fun over what they describe as the shortcomings in the organisation of Gayles visit. Congress handles, equally enthusiastic, have found their own talking point: why discuss the choreography of Gayles visit when Messi never even made it to the stage? There is another small detail that makes the comparison rather interesting. Gayles visit came under the aegis of the Oommen Chandy Foundation and did not draw money from the already strained state exchequer. The proposed Messi event, on the other hand, involved expenditure from the public purse and has now become the subject of a wider financial and administrative probe. On Monday, Chief Minister Satheesan recommended a comprehensive investigation into the Messi project, including its financial transactions, agreements, sponsor selection, government approvals, stadium handover and foreign visits undertaken in connection with the proposed event. So Kerala has managed an unusual double header: the cricketer came without a government-funded spectacle, while the footballer never came despite one. Gayle left behind photographs, matches, and a stadium proposal.

JK Cong urges CM to intervene for hike in stipend of medical interns

Jammu, Aug 31: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee president Tariq Hameed Karra on Monday urged Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to intervene in the ongoing protest by medical interns and ensure an early and meaningful enhancement in their stipend. Jammu and Kashmir has probably emerged as the lowest-paying region for MBBS and BDS interns among the states and Union Territories listed in a comparative chart circulated by protesting medical interns, with a monthly stipend of just Rs 12,300, prompting them to launch an indefinite strike on Monday demanding its immediate revision to Rs 30,000. In a letter addressed to the chief minister, Karra said the demand of the protesting medical interns was genuine and deserved sympathetic and immediate consideration. Medical interns constitute an essential part of the healthcare delivery system and shoulder significant responsibilities in hospitals while undergoing their compulsory internship, he said. These young doctors routinely work long and demanding hours, including 36-hour shifts, attending to patients and performing their duties with dedication and commitment, Karra said. He pointed out that the stipend being provided to medical interns in Jammu and Kashmir was considerably lower than that offered in several other parts of the country. When interns elsewhere are being provided better financial support for comparable responsibilities and working hours, the demand of our medical interns for a reasonable enhancement in stipend merits serious consideration, he said. Karra urged Omar to direct the authorities concerned to engage with the protesting interns, listen to their grievances and work towards an early and satisfactory resolution of the issue. The Congress leader said positive government intervention at this stage would not only address a legitimate concern of the medical fraternity but also boost the morale of young doctors who contribute significantly to the functioning of hospitals and healthcare institutions. He hoped the government would prioritise the matter and take necessary steps for a meaningful hike in the stipend of medical interns in Jammu and Kashmir, in line with their responsibilities and the prevailing stipends in other parts of the country. The interns said their stipend had remained unchanged for nearly seven years despite repeated representations and protests, while the cost of living and stipends offered to interns in several other states had increased substantially. According to the comparative figures displayed by the interns, Odisha tops the list with a monthly stipend of Rs 44,319, followed by West Bengal at Rs 43,099 and Assam at Rs 35,000. Karnataka pays Rs 30,000, while Kerala offers Rs 27,300 and Delhi and Meghalaya Rs 26,300 each. The stipend in Telangana is listed at Rs 25,900, while Arunachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh offer Rs 25,000 each. Tamil Nadu's stipend is shown at around Rs 25,000, followed by Haryana at Rs 24,310 and Andhra Pradesh at around Rs 21,840. Gujarat, Bihar, Goa and Himachal Pradesh are listed at around Rs 20,000 a month, while Puducherry offers Rs 18,000.

Mirzapur The Movie is not the first Indian film based on a web series, this regional web show has had three theatrical films based on it

Excel Entertainments Mirzapur The Movie is one of the most keenly-awaited films of the year. Directed by Gurmmeet Singh, it stars Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Pankaj Tripathi, Jitendra Kumar, Ravi Kishan, Rasika Dugal, Shweta Tripathi, Shriya Pilgaonkar, among others. The film is special since it is based on the web series Mirzapur, which is a big hit on OTT. It has had three successful seasons on Amazon Prime Video. The film is expected to take a strong opening. It is widely believed that Mirzapur The Movie is the first film in India to be based on a web series that will have a release in theatres. However, that is not quite the case. The Bengali web show Eken Babu, which streams on HoiChoi, has so far had nine seasons from 2018 to 2026. In between, the makers also came up with three theatrical films based on the series named, The Eken (2022), The Eken: Ruddhaswas Rajasthan (2023) and The Eken: Benaras E Bidhishika (2025). The fourth film The Eken: Keralay Kurukkhetro is scheduled to release this year. This isnt the only Indian web series to have been made into a theatrical film. In 2018, the Punjabi web series Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree became one of the most loved shows in the language after it streamed on YouTube. Following the success and popularity of its two seasons, the makers of the show announced a theatrical film on the show also titled Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree in 2025. Interestingly, the film released in theatres just earlier this month on August 7. Therefore, web shows like Eken Babu and Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree had theatrical films based on them much before Mirzapur The Movie, which is slated to release on September 4.
