STYLE YOUR LIFE

Horoscope

Aries: Aseismic shift is about to occur in your career, and it might initially feel destabilizing. The good news is that you have sensed this was on the horizon and you know this change simply must happen.

ALunar Eclipse in your domestic sector brings emotional and family-security needs to the forefront, and you might initially worry that a major change in professional dynamics will threaten your ability to provide for your clan. Not so! Remember who you are, Aries! You are a powerful, entrepreneurial, innovative leader who is meant to break the mold and pioneer an independent, spirited path in your world. The Saturn-Pluto conjunction at the top of your chart is not a death sentence to your career -- it's an invitation to rise above the rubble and do what you do best: create your own path. It's long overdue for some of you.

When it comes to romance, you'll have a quieter month. Venus will be in your 12th House of Escape from January 13 through February 7, making you more interested in keeping your love life under wraps. Your lover might also be your sanctuary this month. If so, you are blessed.

Taurus: Expenses might be high this month, as a legal matter may require your attention and you're likely to feel as if you've got two fingers glued to a livewire. This might not sound like the most peaceful way to begin a new year, and the truth is, it's not. But, Taurus, for you, it's not meant to be peaceful right now. Not with Uranus in your sign, about to turn direct on January 10.

You might be going into business with someone or taking on an international-related project or major publishing assignment now. Alternatively, a major publishing assignment or legal matter might end. Don't sit in the fear of all this change, Taurus, because that will only be counterproductive. Instead, focus on the fact that this is an opportunity to create a brand-new reality for yourself, one that is aligned with your true passion and values. The New Moon at the top of your chart on January 24 supports all new career endeavors. You've got this!

In terms of romance, you and your sweetheart might enjoy more social gatherings together. Venus in your friendship sector from January 13 until February 7 can also turn a friend into a lover. Be open.

Gemini: Massive opportunities are coming your way in terms of your career and personal ambitions.

But first, it's possible that you need to let go of how much you've relied on another person's resources or support. Conflict with a partner is possible from January 3 - February 16 while Mars moves through your relationship sector. These arguments may have to do with money, thanks to a Lunar Eclipse in your earned income sector on January 10, along with the sober Saturn-Pluto conjunction on the 12th that lands in your shared resource sector. Perhaps you and your mate are parting ways and you need to start supporting yourself more. If so, this might be a difficult (but necessary) adjustment. Another possibility is that you and your partner are fighting about shared debt. In rare cases, a deal with creditors or even bankruptcy might be your only option. Happily, a focus on your profession between January 13 and February 7 looks promising. Venus will be at the top of your chart, blessing you with financial potential as well as absolute joy in your career path.Adream-come-true opportunity is possible on January 27 as Venus and Neptune embrace. Lucky you!

Cancer: Asignificant relationship and personal transition have been a long time coming. On January 10, a Lunar Eclipse in your sign makes it impossible to continue ignoring your needs -- and having them honored. You realize that you have spent so much of your energy creating security for others that you might feel as if you're the last one remaining in a sinking ship. You might come to the harsh conclusion that you need to let go of a relationship that has been dragging you down. The irony is that you were convinced that this person was actually your anchor. Now you realize that he or she needed you more than you ever needed them. The Saturn-Pluto conjunction on January 12 lands in your partnership sector, and a business or personal relationship might have to go by the wayside as 2020 begins. Why? It's simple: You need to save yourself. It's time, Cancer. In other news, Mars enters your 6th House of Work and Health on January 3 and remains here through February 16.You must find a way to work through any disagreements with colleagues so that you don't find yourself in a hostile work environment.

Leo: As 2020 begins, a massive change in your work life might initially feel like all your security is falling apart. As the month progresses, however, what you'll actually realize is that you have been blocking your success by holding yourself back from your true potential. On January 12, a SaturnPluto conjunction in your 6th House of Work might bring an ending to a job or freelance assignment, or to how you go about doing your work. On the 10th, Uranus, now situated in your career sector, will turn direct after having been retrograde for several months. This sets up a sudden change in direction thanks to whatever it is you lost -- or perceived to have lost. Go with it and trust that when one door closes, another truly does open. And if it doesn't, you'll simply build one! When it comes to romance, a New Moon in your partnership sector on January 24 is promising. You may decide that it's time to go exclusive with someone you're dating. If attached, a fresh start is happening in your relationship that will feel very exciting!

Virgo: As 2020 begins, you'll hear plenty of noise coming from your relatives or domestic situation.

Mars moves into this part of your chart on January 3 and, until February 16, you might have some conflict to navigate between you and a family member.Alternatively, it's possible that you're rushing to finish up a major home renovation. You'll get there.

In other news, a massive Saturn-Pluto conjunction on January 12 will land in your romance sector. While this alignment does occur in Capricorn and is favorable to your sign, it is still possible that a significant breakdown -- or break up -- will happen between you and your lover. If this does happen, know that it is only to help you forge with someone a bond that truly is indestructible. Committed Virgos will fare much better in romance this January. Venus moves into your relationship sector on the 13th, allowing you and your mate to enjoy a sentimental, mystical connection through February 7.

February 1 to 15 February 2020

What is Valentine’s Day and how did it start?

Valentine’s Day is an annual festival to celebrate romantic love, friendship and admiration. Every year on 14 February people celebrate this day by sending messages of love and affection to partners, family and friends.

Couples send Valentine’s Day cards and flowers and spend special time together to honour their love for each other. The day gets its name from a famous saint, but there are several stories of who he was. The popular belief about St Valentine is that he was a priest from Rome in the third century AD. Who was St. Valentine?

The history of Valentine’s Day–and the story of its patron saint (St. Valentine)–is shrouded in mystery. The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men.

Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Still others insist that it was Saint Valentine of Terni, a bishop, who was the true namesake of the holiday. He, too, was beheaded by Claudius II outside Rome.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians

escape harsh Roman prisons, where they were often beaten and tortured.According to one legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first “valentine” greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl–possibly his jailor’s daughter–who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories all emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and–most importantly–romantic figure. By the Middle Ages, perhaps thanks to this reputation, Valentine would become one of the most popular saints in England and France.

How did Valentine’s Day start?

Having a particular Valentine’s Day is a very old tradition, thought to have originated from a Roman festival. The Romans had a festival called Lupercalia in the middle of February – officially the start of their springtime. It’s thought that as part of the celebrations, boys drew names of girls from a box. They’d be boyfriend and girlfriend during

enamored with Psyche that he married her—with the condition that she could never see his face. Eventually, Psyche’s curiosity got the better of her and she stole a glance, causing Cupid to flee in anger.

After roaming the known world in search of her lover, Psyche was eventually reunited with Cupid and granted the gift of immortality.

Scorpio: You're changing your mind about something major in January, Scorpio, and this is certainly your prerogative. Between a Lunar Eclipse on January 10 in your 9th House of Ideals and a SaturnPluto conjunction on the 12th in your communication sector, there is a symbolic death happening in your mind and in the way you always thought things should be. Now you realize that the limitations of your beliefs might be all that's holding you back from the happiness you deserve. That's a fantastic awareness!

Unfortunately, it might come with a cost. Uranus turns direct in your partnership sector on January 10 and, if your partner can't keep up with your radical shift in perspective, then it's possible the two of you will find yourselves on different paths. It doesn't have to mean a breakup, but it does suggest a jolt that will shift each of you out of your comfort zone. It just might be what's needed to get your relationship out of a coma.

Capricorn: A significant change in the core of your very being is happening as 2020 begins, Capricorn. On January 12, there will be a rare and powerful alignment between Saturn and Pluto. This conjunction is all about breaking down structures and clearing the ground for all of us to build new structures with firm foundations. Since this is happening in your sign, Capricorn, it's clear that you are starting the year saying goodbye to a version of yourself that is no longer able to survive in the world you want to build. On the other side of any loss or grief, there is the promise of something solid, lasting, and much truer to your nature. You'll get there. After all, you've got an exit strategy.

If this requires leaving a relationship that you've held on to for all the wrong reasons, then so be it. It might be personal, but it can also be business. A Lunar Eclipse on January 10 in your relationship sector calls your attention to this.

Either way, a new start in finances is possible after the New Moon on January 24, while a wakeup call will occur in your heart on January 10 thanks to Uranus turning direct in your romance sector. See? There is light after that long, dark tunnel you've been traveling in. Step into the Sun. Aquarius :You're likely to begin 2020 with the sense that you're sick of being sick, and tired of being tired. And now, you're ready to finally do something about it. On January 10, a Lunar Eclipse will illuminate your health sector, followed up by a sober Saturn-Pluto conjunction on January 12 that insists on an end to how you've been addressing your physical and mental well-being. This could very well be a major health wake-up call for you, making you realize that if you want to live your best life, it's time to take radical responsibility for your physical and emotional well-being. Anything that doesn't support this goal of yours will be eliminated as a result. Happily, a New Moon in your sign on January 24 signals a personal fresh start for you and the capacity to restore vitality and luster in your life. This lunation can also bring new opportunities in love and relationship your way. Be open!

Pisces: Thanks to the serious Saturn-Pluto conjunction on January 12 in your 11th House of Groups and Friendship, it's possible that you're ready to tighten up your circle and rid yourself of the connections that don't provide you with meaningful fulfillment. Another possibility is that you will be faced with some difficult news about a cherished friend. He or she may be going through a health or personal crisis. Do what you can to help. When it comes to your love life, a Lunar Eclipse in your romance sector on January 10 could bring the fulfillment you've been hoping for. There may also be baby news or a development with a child you have that makes you cry tears of joy. With Venus moving into your sign on January 13, you're truly in a place of "yes" when it comes to all of life's beautiful potential. In fact, as Venus embraces Neptune on January 27, a personal wish is likely to be fulfilled in the financial or love department. Maybe even both

the festival and sometimes they’d get married. Later when Rome became Christian and the Catholic Church was determined to stamp out any remaining paganism therefore Christian church may have decided to place St. Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to “Christianize” the pagan celebration of Lupercalia and proclaimed 14 February as Saint Valentine’s Day, thus establishing this feast day on the Catholic Calendar of Saints.

The poet Chaucer in the Middle Ages was the first to link St Valentine with romantic love.

This was the beginning of the tradition of courtly love, a ritual of expressing love and admiration, usually in secret. This custom spread throughout Europe and stories grew about a High Court of Love where female judges would rule on issues related to love on 14 February each year.

Historians believe that these meetings were in fact gatherings where people read love poetry and played games of flirtation.

What is Valentine’s Day in Contemporary Times?

While Valentine’s Day is

celebrated in most countries, different cultures have developed their own traditions for this festival. In some parts of the world Valentine’s Day is observed as a day for expressing love between family members and friends, rather than that of romantic couples.

Some traditions include leaving lollies and gifts for children and others include acts of appreciation between friends.

Valentine’s Day is most commonly associated with romantic love, with millions of Valentine’s Day cards being exchanged each year. Gifts of flowers or a single red rose are sent with romantic messages to loved ones and couples spend special time together.

Many couples choose to celebrate Valentine’s Day with dinner, a picnic or special homecooked meal. Many restaurants offer Valentine’s Day dinner promotions and food is often presented with symbols of love like hearts and flowers. Another popular Valentine’s Day activity is to indulge in a luxury hotel stay in a beautiful location, allowing a couple to get away from it all and enjoy some quality time together.

Marriage proposals are also popular on Valentine’s Day, and it is often chosen as the perfect day to express their love and commitment. Some marriage proposals are delivered very creatively, such as after climbing to the top of a mountain, or posting a message on a billboard.

Whatever the method, marriage proposals made on Valentine’s Day are generally romantic and memorable.

Who is Cupid?

Libra: ALunar Eclipse at the top of your chart on January 10 might put you in the spotlight for a career achievement. Your emotional needs will certainly be out in the open and, because of this, you'll find it impossible to remain satisfied in a profession that doesn't feed your soul. As a result, for some Libras, the start of 2020 might come along with the recognition that an adjustment is necessary when it comes to professional pursuits.In some cases, it might be a matter of needing to spend more time picking up the pieces to a family life that has come undone. If you have a significant domestic situation that requires your attention, then you might take a leave of absence from work in order to address it. The Saturn-Pluto conjunction on January 12 suggests that a relative might need your help. This could be an elderly parent who is ill or a child who is floundering.

Whatever the details, your sense of responsibility is definitely at home. Single Libras have a golden opportunity for love at the New Moon on January 24. Seize it!

Sagittarius: Your financial world might feel like it's about to collapse under all the pressure that has been building in 2019, but if that's the case, know that, soon, it will all begin to sort itself out. That's not to minimize any discomfort you may experience along with way. A Lunar Eclipse in your 8th House of Debt and Taxes on January 10 might bring you to a situation where you need to go into a payment plan with the IRS in order to address any taxes owed. Another possibility is that you have decided to wipe out a retirement account or dig into your savings so that you can start the New Year free from any debt you owe. As it turns out, this decision might be a sound one given the Saturn-Pluto conjunction happening on January 12 in your earned income sector.Asource of income that you thought gave you all the financial structure you needed may come to an end, leaving you wondering: what now? If this happens, know that you're meant to consider innovative job opportunities to help you develop talents that will keep you in business for the long haul. Uranus turning direct on January 10 in your 6th House of Work and Skills assures this.

In terms of love, you might feel a major surge of courage to go after the person you desire most. Mars moves into your sign on January 3 and remains here through February 16. The challenge and the chase will only turn you on more.

P5

Although there are many patron Gods and Goddesses of love but the one who is most popular is cupid. The mention of Cupid typically conjures up images of a cherubic winged infant wielding a bow and arrow, but this wasn’t always the case.

Long before the Romans adopted and renamed him, Cupid was known to the Greeks as Eros, the god of love.

According to myth, Cupid was the son of Mercury, the winged messenger of the gods, and Venus, the goddess of love.

He often appeared as a winged infant carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows whose wounds inspired love or passion in his every victim. He was sometimes portrayed wearing armour like that of Mars, the god of war, perhaps to suggest ironic parallels between warfare and romance or to symbolize the invincibility of love. Although some literature portrayed Cupid as callous and careless, he was generally viewed as beneficent, on account of the happiness he imparted to couples both mortal and immortal. At the worst he was considered mischievous in his matchmaking, this mischief often directed by his mother, Venus.In one story from ancient Info@pkglifestylenews.com

In the poetry of the archaic period, Eros was represented as a handsome immortal who was irresistible to both man and gods.

It is this chubby love-inducing putto that has persisted over time and has become our ubiquitous Valentine’s Day mascot.

Greek mythology, which was later retold by Roman authors, Cupid (Eros) shot a golden arrow at Apollo, who fell madly in love with the nymph Daphne, but then launched a leaden arrow at Daphne so she would be repulsed by him.

Kejriwal Takes Oath as Delhi CM for the third time Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal was sworn in as Delhi’s chief minister for the third consecutive time on 16th February at the Ramlila Maidan.

After taking his oath, Kejriwal said he wanted to work in harmony with the with the BJPled central government to make Delhi the number one city and sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s blessings for smooth governance in the capital.

After his stupendous victory in theAssembly polls by bagging 62 of the 70 seats, Kejriwal, whose previous tenure was marred by several run-ins with the Centre, termed himself Delhi’s “son” and the “chief of minister of all” people irrespective of the party they have voted for.

“The two crore people of the national capital are my family,” he said.

The BJP had mounted one of its most aggressive campaigns in the Delhi Assembly polls. Several BJP leaders had made controversial and even incendiary remarks against their rivals, prompting the Election Commission to take serious

action, like barring Union minister Anurag Thakur and MP Parvesh Verma from campaigning. Verma in a public meeting had termed Kejriwal a “terrorist”. However Kejriwal sought cooperation even from his rival parties, BJP and Congress saying he has “forgiven” them for the remarks made against him by members of these parties during the poll campaign.

Kejriwal had extended an invitation to Modi to attend his oath-taking ceremony. However, the latter was in constituency Varanasi where he inaugurated several projects and therefore couldn’t attend ceremony “I had invited the prime minister but he could not come as he may have been busy. We want to seek Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s blessings for smooth governance of Delhi,” Kejriwal said in his nearly 20-minute address.

The AAP had planned to keep the swearing-in ceremony “Delhi-specific” and so did not invite chief ministers of other states or political leaders.

“Your son has taken oath for the third time as Delhi chief minister.

This is not my victory but yours,” Kejriwal told the crowd at the Ramlila Maidan, adding there was no stepmotherly treatment for anyone and he has worked for all in the last five years.

“In the last five years, we tried to develop Delhi in a fast mode and in the next five years, we will continue to do the same,” he said.

The AAP national convener began his address with ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, ‘Inquilab Zindabad’

and ended it by singing ‘Hum Honge Kamyaab’, in which he was joined by the crowd.

Kejriwal spoke about the free facilities that his government had provided in the last five and said it would be a shame if he charged people for basic amenities like health and education.

“Some people say Kejriwal is giving everything for free. Nature has ensured that every valuable thing in the world is free, be it

mother’s love, father’s blessings or Shravan Kumar’s dedication.

So, Kejriwal loves his people and hence this love is free… I should be ashamed if I charge those who take treatment in government hospitals or study in government schools,” he said.

While lauding the people of Delhi for “changing” the politics of the country, Kejriwal said the name of India will resonate around the world because of this to this new-wave politics.

“Delhi’s ‘nirmatas’ (makers) are sitting here… Lakhs of ‘nirmatas’run Delhi… Politicians come and go but Delhi’s ‘nirmata’ run Delhi,” he said.

The party had invited the teachers of Delhi schools to the ceremony, saying the educators have been the architect of the Delhi’s transformation in the past five years. It also invited 50 representatives from different sectors for their contribution to governance. These included angandwadi and doorstep delivery workers, representatives of education, healthcare and infrastructure sectors, safai karamchari, public transport staff, bus marshals and farmers.

Kejriwal is the first and the only Delhi chief minister who has opted for Ramlila Maidan as the venue for his oath ceremonies.All his predecessors always took oath at the Raj Niwas.

President Ram Nath Kovind had on 15th February appointed him as the new chief minister of Delhi after AAP registered a landslide victory in the national capital.

The AAP had earlier said all ministers would continue to hold the same portfolios. Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, Gopal Rai, Kailash Gahlot, Rajendra Pal Gautam and Imran Hussain were sworn in as ministers.

The Delhi Police had made strict security arrangements for the swearing-in ceremony.

Around 3,000 security personnel from Delhi Police and para military were placed in the Ramlila Maidan area, along with CCTV surveillance of all the routes leading to the venue.

In 2013,AAP created history by winning 28 seats in the 70member Delhi Assembly election. The party made a stunning electoral debut by defeating Delhi’s three-time

Congress Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit. However, Kejriwal resigned after 49 days, heading the shortest tenure of a Delhi government after political opponents blocked an anticorruption bill in the state assembly. Again, in 2015, AAP got a landslide victory, winning 67 of Delhi’s 70 seats.

Long before Kejriwal entered politics, he had formed an NGO Parivartan to address citizens’ grievances related to Public Distribution System (PDS), public works, social welfare schemes, income tax and electricity. In 2006, he resigned from the I-T department and donated his Magsaysay award money as a corpus fund to set-up the Public Cause Research Foundation.

A social activist, political reformer and a former Joint Commissioner in the I-T department, Kejriwal is known for his commitment towards the Right to Information (RTI) and struggle for the Jan Lokpal. He has authored ‘Swaraj’, a book on his model of local selfgovernance and decentralisation of administration.

First, the message of the historic win in the Delhi elections purely on the basis of unprecedented development works in Delhi should be disseminated across the country loud and clear,” Gopal Rai said.

“With this election, Arvind Kejriwal and the AAP changed the entire nature of political discourse in the country. This is the right time to channelise the energy and enthusiasm of the volunteers to expand the party across the nation. This victory is emphatic and decisive as the BJP put all their efforts to win the elections deploying the prime minister, Union home minister and other ministers and the chief ministers from other states, using their politics of hatred,” he said.

Malang shows Goa as a drug haven

Goa CM to monitor scripts that show the state in ‘a poorlight’ Mohit Suri’s Malang gained much popularity among people because of the love scenes between Aditya Roy Kapoor and Disha Patani, but what gained notice from Chief Minister of Goa(where the film is based) Pramod Sawant was the projection of Goa in a poor light as a drug haven. Because of which the state government will henceforth only permit shooting of movies after a thematic inspection.

“After this, while giving permission, the Entertainment Society of Goa will check the story and they will not be allowed to malign the image of the state. Only then, will we will give the permission,” Sawant told reporters when asked if he felt that the recently released Malang, which has many scenes of drug and rave parties in Goa, maligned the image of the coastal state.The Entertainment Society of Goa is a government agency that serves as a nodal body for granting of shooting

permissions in the state.Sawant also said that Goa boasts of a good law and order situation, among many pluses, and therefore it was unfair to portray the state as a destination for

drugs.

“Our state has good law and order. Why should they focus (and) portray the state as a place (with) drugs and other things? Before giving permission, now we will at least go through the theme and see what they are showing about Goa,” Sawant reiterated.

Asked if he was aware that the film’s opening credits have a thank you note for ‘Chief Minister Pramod Sawant’ for coopration, Sawant said that he was not aware of it.Malang stars Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani and Kunal Kemmu in pivotal roles, and has been shot in Goa and Mauritius.

Although the state is regarded as one of the most popular beach and nightlife tourism destinations, Goa over decades has also earned infamy as a destination for narcotourism, especially the state’s beach-fronted coastline.

Asked is there a kiss scene? Ayushmann while signing Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhaan.

Ayushmann Khurrana has been challenging the taboos in the society through the choice of his film and he is back again with Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhaan a film which talks about gay right, specially their right to love, and Ayushmann shares a very sweet question he asked before signing for the film. Ayushmann said he wanted to do a film on homosexuality when he saw a romantic moment between two men. “I was shooting for Dream Girl and I remember it was a late night shoot in one of the malls and I saw two guys kissing around 2 o’ clock in the morning. And that was the time when I was looking for something like a homosexual film, mainstream. And I was like India is ready for it. We are ready for it, we’ve not seen this ever. We haven’t seen this public display of affection by same sex in India,” he said.

Ayushmann added that he kept asking writer-director Hitesh Kewalya what idea he had in mind for Shubh Mangal Savdhaan’s sequel but he won’t tell him. When he finally cornered him, Kewalya

revealed that he wanted to address homosexuality with the next film. “That’s it! I need this film right now. I asked ‘Is there a kissing scene?’ I said perfect! It should be there. There’s no other way,” Ayushmann said.

Ayushmann stars opposite Jitendra Kumar in the film as his boyfriend. The actors also shot kissing scenes for the film.

Talking about it, Ayushmann said the crew made sure they were all alone when they were shooting one kiss scene on a railway station. “They emptied the whole thing. I was like I have never seen such a thing before for a normal kiss but now everything is empty. They blocked everything. The whole feel and environment was very

intimidating initially,” he said.

Ayushmann and Jitendra confessed that they had previously kissed men. While Jitendra had to do it when he was being ragged by his senior at his college, IIT Kharagpur, Ayushmann did it during a game of truth and dare on Roadies.

Hitesh added that while it was awkward in the beginning to shoot the kissing scenes, everyone got more comfortable as days went by. “They also got used to these conversations and these. That’s how you know that when you talk about it, you can normalise it,” he said.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhaan also stars Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao. It will release on February 22.

Iyer was one of the positives for India in the limitedovers leg, scoring a maiden international hundred and two half-centuries in the three ODIs, to go with a half-century and scores of 44 and 33* in T20Is, and the former India batsman believes he and KL Rahul with a century and an unbeaten 88 have emerged as India’s middle order strengths despite a 0-3 ODI whitewash.

“The batting was shored up resourcefully by Shreyas Iyer, who has ended the discussion on the No. 4 slot, and KL Rahul, who once again showcased his versatility, but the lack of penetration was exposed by New Zealand in general, and their openers in particular,” Laxman wrote in his column for Times of India.

It is just a horror film and nothing else. This film is a mix of psycho-thriller and pure horror.

“Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan’s Target Audience is Homophobic People” Ayushmann Bollywood has witnessed many love stories so far… but Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan is going to be the most iconic one as Ayushmann Khurrana and Jitendra Kumar are all set to make us fall in love with their love story in the film. The duo will be playing homosexual characters in the film who have to fight with their families and society for acceptance of their relationship and to tell them that falling in love with the person of the same sex is natural and normal.

The trailer and the songs so far have received a great response from the audience. The moviegoers are excited to see the fresh pair of AyushmannJitendra on the big screen.

Talking about the reactions that their trailer has received so far Ayushmann said, “They are all positive reactions. They are

really proud of this step and this film. Especially the last song that came out ‘Mere Liye Tum Kaafi Ho’. It’s really warm and it shows the beautiful chemistry between the two boys. The target audience of this film is those people who are homophobic, not those who already are with the LGBTQ community.”

Jitendra Kumar shared, “The

reactions are very positive.

Generally, when a film on homosexuality comes out, there is bit awkwardness between the friends. This time the warmth is quite different and one of the biggest reasons is Ayushmann.

He has built acceptability for himself among the audience because of the kind of films he is doing.”

was all praises for Iyer he also expressed his disappointment at India’s newly-formed opening pair of Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal. Despite Shaw getting starts on a couple of occasions, he and Agarwal formed one fiftyplus stand in three innings, while Laxman felt their batting left a lot to be desired. And still if India managed to put up strong totals on the board was majorly due to contributions from the middle order.

“The start of any innings, be it

with bat or ball, sets the tone for what is to follow.Apart from their half-century stand in the first ODI, openers Mayank Agarwal and Prithvi Shaw haven’t strung together a partnership. When three wickets fall in the first quarter of the innings, including that of the best batsman in the side, if not the world, it’s never easy to recover and post a substantial total,” Laxman explained.

“That India managed to do so was thanks to the growing

maturity and influence in the middle order of Shreyas and Rahul, both capable of playing at more than one gear, both situationally aware, and both adept at the waiting and the power game. Pandey added a new dimension with his smartness in running, but the lack of firepower once Rahul and Pandey were dismissed off successive deliveries left India maybe 25 runs short.”

Laxman also added that India needs to pay more attention to their fielding, which led to their downfall in ODIs. He also had good words for legspinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who was playing his first ODI sinceAugust 2019 and took six wickets from the last two matches.

“New Zealand responded to a 5-0 defeat in the T20 internationals with a commanding 3-0 sweep of the One-Day International series, but as well as they played, they were aided in no small measure by a fumbling Indian side. Virat Kohli and the management group must be disappointed at the bowling and especially, the fielding,” he said.

Siddhant Chaturvedi and Vijay Varma recall how Gully Boy changed their lives.

Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy released on Valentine’s Day last year and tasted immense success.

The Ranveer Singh-Alia Bhatt starrer was also selected as India’s official entry at the 92nd Academy Awards.

As Gully Boy has turned one, actors Siddhant Chaturvedi and Vijay Varma and rapper Divine reveal how the film changed their lives.

Siddhant, who played the role of MC Sher in the film gained much popularity among people, he shared: “Life has changed; now I’m shooting for films as a lead hero in the industry back to back with the biggest banners, out there with some of the biggest directors. Every day is different, either I’m reading, or I’m shooting for something or I’m shouting for bands, it’s amazing.

I’m loving life right now.”

Vijay Varma also won many hearts with his portrayal of the character of Moeen in the film.

The actor expressed: “Life has been extremely beautiful and eventful since Gully Boy released in Feb 2019. I am really in the thick of things, creating a lot of stuff. Everything else, apart from work, has taken a back seat.

Now, it’s been constant work and Googleplay/pkglifestylenews

I am really enjoying the work right now.” Rapper Divine, who lent his voice to quite a few tracks in the film became highly soughtafter post Gully Boy. His songs Mere Gully Mein, Azaadi and Apna Time Aayega still continue to dominate playlists. Talking about the same, Divine said: “Life after Gully Boy is the same as it was before the release of the film. I am still walking in the same gully, we are doing the same things. It’s only upgraded

because we’re getting the bigger stages, bigger venues and bigger opportunities and I am very thankful to God.” On the work front, Sidhhant Chaturvedi will next be seen in Bunty Aur Babli 2 and Shakun Batra’s untitled film, where he will feature alongside Deepika Padukone and Ananya Panday.

US President Donald is going to have his first official visit to India on February 24-25. And his wife Melania Trump will be accompanying him.”President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will visit India on February 24-25, 2020. The President and The First Lady will travel to New Delhi and Ahmedabad, which is in Prime Minister Modi’s home state of Gujarat and played such an important role in Mahatma Gandhi’s life and leadership of the Indian independence movement,” said White House.

The White House further stated that during a phone call over the weekend, President Trump and

Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed the trip will “further strengthen the United States-India strategic partnership and highlight the strong and enduring bonds between theAmerican and Indian people.”

The confirmation of Trump’s visit comes days after India’s new ambassador to the US; Taranjit Singh Sandhu presented his credentials to the US President.

Responding to the news PM Modi tweeted that he is “extremely delighted” that US President Donald Trump and his wife will be in India later this month and added that they will be accorded a memorable welcome.

President Trump and Prime

Minister Narendra Modi will attend the ‘Namaste Trump Trump’ event at new Motera Stadium with over 1.25 lakh people witnessing the special programme directed at showcasing the Modi-Trump bonhomie. ‘Robust friendship between India and US augurs well not only for their citizens but also entire world,’tweeted PM Modi.

Trump’s visit to India will start from the Sabarmati Ashram.

President Trump will also inaugurate the new Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium, the largest cricket stadium in the world.

Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trump said: “He

is a friend of mine. He’s a great gentleman.” Trump said he spoke to the Indian prime minister over the weekend, when Modi told him that millions of people will welcome him at the airport in Ahmedabad.

Earlier in the day, the Defense Security and CooperationAgency informed that the Donald Trump administration has approved the sale of an Integrated Air Defense Weapon System (IADWS) to India for an estimated cost of $1.867 billion.

The Ministry of External Affairs had said in January that India and US are in contact through diplomatic channels over the US President’s proposed visit.

Expenditure, it appears, is definitely not a constraint, as the top sources involved in planning and execution of preparations for Trump's Ahmedabad visit said that CM Vijay Rupani has instructed that budget should not be a constraint in hosting Trump.

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) that are revamping roads and beautifying the city for Trump's visit will jointly spend nearly Rs 100 crore.

This includes Rs 60 crore for resurfacing of 17 roads and laying a dedicated 1.5 km road for Trump to travel back to the airport after opening Motera stadium.The civic body has allocated a budget of Rs 6 crore for beautification of the route and venue. The AUDA will spend about Rs 20 crore for roads.

While total expenditure for Trump’s visit will be accounted after the event, a back of the envelope addition pegs the cost to be over Rs 100 crore.

Government of India may bear some cost, but majority share will be borne by the state government,” said an official.
