Rupesh Mishra, a mid-sized distributor of a global soap and hygiene products company in Delhi-NCR, has seen its orders drop by a third since November last year. “I know that the distributors’ agitation was going on in Maharashtra. But we have no one to fight for us,” he said. “Kuch toh badlo hi milega ab (I need to change a few things now). I inherited this distribution business from my father 15 years ago, but now I can’t
A few months ago, I saw veteran actor Ciaran Hinds play Julius Caesar in the series Rome. Hinds has been a familiar appearance in several movies and shows—he’s an Oscar nominee for Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast this year—and here he is, in scenes from the Eyes of March, bloody, flowing, and at-tu-ing Were.
I didn’t know that Hinds once played the perpetrator of a famous covert murder: a night-time guerrilla attack on the Pandava camp in the Mahabharata. Ashwatthama on Peter Brook’s stage and the 1989 screen production of the epic featured a short, lean hindsight Ashwatthama.
I first watched Brooke’s Mahabharata in the early 1990s, but revisited it during an online Mahabharata course and featured scenes from it. You can even say that I was very familiar with it. And yet, I never made the hindsight connection until I was able to flip through a book about the production. It’s something like ‘Whoa! Was it the same person?’ Lately I have seen actors in a variety of shows and movies.
A more recent episode was that the role of teacher Kamala Choudhary in the new series Rocket Boys was played by actress Neha Chauhan, who had played a salesgirl in Dibakar Banerjee’s Love, Sex Aur Dhokha more than a decade ago. LSD was a favorite movie, and I remember what happened to its low-profile actors. But not before I went to IMDB.com before a coworker made a connection between an emotionally tortured T-shirt and jeans-clad Rashmi and the beautiful Kamala.
At such times, one has to wonder whether old memory receptors are deteriorating due to age. For obvious reasons, I prefer the alternative explanation. So, here’s one: This kind of disorientation is inevitable in this chaotic era of movie-and-series watching. We have a bigger pool than ever before to see. Those of us who go out of the comfort zone (instead of following the algorithm) can, in a single week, watch a Tamil film, followed by a Nordic crime series and then a mainstream Hindi film, which dazzles newcomers. We knew in the 1980s who become the grandsons of actors. We encounter many artists across cultures and genres that we may have seen only fleetingly before.
How this affects you – or you even realize it – depends on the type of audience you are. I’m the person who keeps the Wikipedia page of a movie open so that I can see an interesting cast’s other work, or a plot point that wasn’t very clear.
This is partly essential to being a professional writer who must take notes, but it’s also a personality quirk. I don’t understand how people absorb their way through show after show and wonder what they just saw. Even as a young, fresher film buff, I couldn’t watch three or four films one after the other in one festival.
That is not to say that such an illusion never happened then. As a teenager in world cinema without internet in the early 1990s, it was thrilling to make an impression of an actor’s personality and later see him in a very different role or environment. Here, for example, is Toshiro Mifune as the scruffy, bearded samurai of the Edo period in Akira Kurosawa’s 1961 Yojimbo, and then as a clean-shaven cop, dressed in contemporary clothing in Kurosawa’s 1949 Stray Dog Noirish means walking on the streets.
Once, upon realizing that the older Chishu Ryu in the classic Tokyo Story, directed by Japanese Yasujiro Ozu, was still only in his 40s and looked young in other films of the time, I began to wonder if this extraordinary versatility. A case of or a viewer’s disconnect due to unfamiliarity. Would a non-Indian viewer have the same experience if he had first seen Rajesh Khanna as an elderly man in 1983’s Avatar (a Tokyo tale about neglected old people) directed by Mohan Kumar? Would this viewer be surprised if he saw RK as he was then, still playing the role of the romantic hero – even if the movies and performances are pedestrian?
These are questions worth considering. But alas, one can only think of them – if one does – in the very narrow spaces between our binge-watching sessions.
Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposed visit to Pune on Sunday, saying it was to inaugurate infrastructure projects that are yet to be completed. Pawar said the government should focus more on evacuating students trapped in war-torn Ukraine.
However, the NCP chief also said that the government was doing everything possible to expel the students and there should be no allegations and counter allegations on the issue.
“I know there are some important projects in Pune that will take years to complete which are now being inaugurated by the Prime Minister. But, apart from these projects, the issue of evacuation of students from Ukraine is more important. Let’s hope That those in power are taking it seriously,” he told reporters in Pune. Pawar said some students in Ukraine had informed him about their position amid Russian shelling and firing.
“The second issue is that since India remained neutral during the voting at the United Nations, Ukraine is angry (with us) and harassing Indian students…” he said.
Industrial design has traditionally been a male-dominated field, but one segment of it, automobile design, is seeing women breaking through glass ceilings and making their mark.
Like Ramkripa Ananthan, director of Crooks Studio, which has built a concept electric vehicle using upcycled materials for last-mile connectivity. and Mahua Acharya and Suman Mishra, who have broken stereotypes and have favorably established themselves in productive roles in the auto industry. And many others like Sulajja Firodia Motwani, Mallika Srinivasan, Aarti Krishna and Anjali Singh are venturing into their respective auto-related family businesses.
The trickle down to women entering the male-dominated world of automobile assembly, manufacturing, designing and leadership is growing in a steady stream.
Producers are waking up to realizing what women can bring to the table, especially the benefits of diversity in fostering creative production.
“In future, there will be a lot of automotive design focus on UI/UX (User Interface/User Experience) keeping in mind the mega trends of Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared Mobility. With this, more women will make career in Automotive Design. Will consider,” says Ananthan.
Experts point out that automobile plants are getting automated for better delivery. “There are very few shop floors in the organized sector today that require the use of physical strength, which is facilitating the presence of women on the shop floor,” he says.
Leg-up of the EV Industry
The male stereotype ceiling is slowly breaking down and the Sunrise Electric Vehicle industry is only accelerating its pace.
Rashmi Urdhvarshe, former director of the Automotive Research Association and now president of SAE India, says: “It is easy to become an important part of the EV ecosystem as women can play a bigger role in data analysis, simulation, validation, mobility solutions and disruptors of this industry. technology processes”.
In fact, Sulajja Firodia Motwani, founder and CEO of Kinetic Green, which is focusing on her company’s electric transition, says, “Developing a pioneering electric vehicle technology is the most important way to bring it within the reach of millions of people.” It’s been an exciting phase.”
Motwani said, “We are currently on the cusp of a revolution in mobility, reaching an inflection point with the advent of electric vehicle technology. This combined with other mobility trends such as shared mobility is changing the landscape dramatically. ”
Mobility and automobiles are now more about electronics and software and this is creating new opportunities for women – many EV factories are now “managed” by women. Even EV components like motors and controllers are electronics-based, with women playing a key role in not only R&D but actual assembly and manufacturing.
By the old ally Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), which has refused to share any of the 24 seats in the Bihar Legislative Council with the Congress, for which elections are to be held, the All India Congress Committee on Saturday announced its selection of eight candidates. First batch announced.
RJD-Congress relations at new low
The split of the RJD and the Congress in the Bihar Legislative Council elections marks a new deterioration in the Congress’s ties with the once solid ally RJD, led by Lalu Prasad and his son. It also means that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra did not move the RJD, emotionally or politically, after her latest conviction in a corruption case with Prasad recently, citing that customary “Thank you Priyanka ji” by Tejashwi Yadav. “Retweeted.
The RJD’s decision not to accommodate the Congress in even one of the 24 council seats – of which the Yadavs allotted a seat to another ally – the CPI-ML – for which elected local panchayat members would constitute voters across Bihar, further advertised The Bihar Party systematically distanced itself from the Congress after the RJD-Congress-Left assembly election battle against the BJP-JD(U) in November 2020.
Congress will go to the Supreme Court against the order of the Election Commission
Meanwhile, AICC observer for Manipur elections Jairam Ramesh said he would file a petition in the Supreme Court against the Election Commission’s decision (by dismissing a plea of Congress) which said that the (BJP-led) Manipur government Money released to Banned Cookie National. The organization did not violate the model code of conduct under the provisions of “suspension of operation”. The Congress plea argued that since payments resumed under the provision of “suspension of operations” after a long time just before the election, it was a violation of the code of conduct.
It was Ravindra Jadeja who asked the team management to declare with India at 574, and more importantly, the batsman himself at 175. The chance to score a double century in Tests doesn’t come every day, but his suggestion tells you something about that guy.
Jadeja’s argument was that the Sri Lankan players were tired and swooping down the ground and this would be the best time to put them under pressure and force them with the bat. Throughout his career, even when he was the subject of memes and ridicule on social media, Jadeja has been an out and out team player. Their captains knew it, their teammates knew it, and it took the public a while to catch on.
As a cricketer, as a package, Jadeja is a captain’s dream. In Indian conditions, he is a lethal bowler who is just as destructive as Ravichandran Ashwin. His batting overseas is more useful to the team, but even there he is in control of the ball. At home, away and anywhere in the universe, in fact, Jadeja’s fielding is as good as it gets. He’s a fast runner, has quick anticipation, safe hands and a rocket throw.
If you have built a prototype for a slow-bowling all-rounder, you will find someone like Jadeja. Consider this: Since he thwarted his batting, and the team began to see him as a batting all-rounder and use him as such, around 2016, Jadeja scored 1,897 runs at an average of 44.11. Make it To do that batting at No. 6 or No. 7 is remarkable in itself. Add 165 wickets at 25.32 in the same period and you have a real match winner in your hands.
Once described as a player of bits and pieces, Jadeja was furious and felt his displeasure. And, when you look at those numbers and his contribution to Indian wins, you can see why. That day, Jadeja converted a good Indian position into an impenetrable one. There is no way India can lose this Test from here, no matter how much Sri Lanka tries or achieves.
It was also a return to the old-fashioned India, where you bat for a long time in the first innings and then let the spinners do the talking. India’s score was their first 500 or more since 2019 against South Africa in Pune. Jadeja scored 91 runs in that innings of 600/5 declared.
The difference between scoring a long first innings total at home shows you that India’s batsmen have struggled on spicy pitches as much as the visiting team’s batsmen.
When Jadeja bats like Mohali, two things happen. Firstly, the fielding captain is challenged in terms of fielding, as Jadeja cleverly works his angles and hits the ball in places that are unexpected for a particular delivery. He is equally likely to open the face of the bat and drive the ball to third man as it is to bring it from outside and hit midwicket.
Secondly, while he has all the big shots, he is also blessed with patience, which means he can wait for the loose ball, or cash in once the bowler wears off and at the end of his spell .
He did both to perfection that day, leaving Sri Lanka with little room to maneuver. It was cricketing prowess of the highest order backed by skills honed through years of hard work. Jadeja the Rockstar made his one-time mentor proud at Rajasthan Royals.
