PUBLISHER note Dear readers, August is a month that reminds us how beautifully identities can coexist. Here in British Columbia, we celebrate BC Day and the communities that have helped shape this province into one of Canada’s most vibrant and diverse places to call home. At the same time, millions around the world mark India’s Independence Day and Raksha Bandhan, celebrations that honor freedom, family, tradition, and the bonds that connect us across generations and continents. For many of us, these occasions are more than dates on a calendar. They are reminders of where we come from, the values we carry with us, and the communities we continue to build, wherever life takes us.

This issue reflects that spirit.

Inside these pages, you’ll discover stories of remarkable individuals who continue to inspire through perseverance, service, and achievement, from endurance athletes and community leaders to local changemakers making a difference every day. We celebrate the rich traditions that shape our identities while exploring how they continue to evolve in today’s world. As India marks another year of independence, we also look beyond history to explore its growing influence on the global stage. From craftsmanship and cuisine to wellness, entrepreneurship, technology, and culture, India’s ideas continue to inspire far beyond its borders, a reminder that heritage is not something we leave behind, but something we proudly carry forward.

Of course, August is also a time to embrace the season. Whether you’re planning a scenic getaway, refreshing your wardrobe, exploring healthier habits, or simply enjoying longer days with family and friends, we’ve filled this edition with ideas to help you make the most of summer. From travel inspiration and wellness advice to fashion, food, and lifestyle features, we hope every page offers something to inform, inspire, or simply brighten your day. At South Asian Entertainment Magazine, we have always believed that our greatest strength lies in the stories we share. Stories that celebrate our roots while embracing new beginnings.

Stories that remind us that culture is not only preserved through history but also through everyday moments, family traditions, community connections, and the generations that carry them forward.

Thank you for continuing to be part of our journey. Whether you’ve been with us for years or are discovering us for the first time, we are grateful to have you as part of our growing community.

We always love hearing from our readers. Share your thoughts with us at rajesh@entertainmentmagazine.ca or visit www.entertainmentmagazine.ca to enjoy our latest digital edition.

Wishing you a joyful August filled with celebration, connection, and meaningful moments.

Love and Regards.

One day, 207 miles

Anil Kanwar pedals his way into an extraordinary achievement

E

ndurance cycling demands far more than physical strength.

It requires months of preparation, mental resilience and the determination to keep moving when fatigue sets in. Indian Canadian financial professional Anil Kanwar, IFIC, MBA, recently demonstrated all of those qualities by completing the 2026 Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic (STP) in a single day, covering approximately 207 miles (333 kilometers) from Seattle, Washington, to Portland, Oregon.

6

Organized annually by the Cascade Bicycle Club, the STP is one of the largest and bestknown recreational endurance cycling events in the United States. First held in 1979, the ride attracts thousands of cyclists each year, who can choose to complete the challenging route over one or two days.

Finishing the entire course in a single day is considered a significant endurance accomplishment, requiring riders to maintain a steady pace over long distances while managing

www. entertainmentmagazine.ca

changing weather, varied terrain and physical exhaustion.

Kanwar’s achievement reflects not only athletic ability but also discipline and perseverance.

While he is known professionally for his work in the financial sector, his successful completion of one of North America’s most recognized long-distance cycling events highlights a personal commitment to health, fitness and continuous self-improvement. Beyond testing riders’ physical limits, the Seattle to Portland

Bicycle Classic celebrates the spirit of community and promotes cycling across the Pacific Northwest.

Kanwar’s accomplishment is a powerful reminder that remarkable achievements are rarely the result of talent alone.

They are built through dedication, meticulous preparation, and the resilience to keep going when the challenge seems overwhelming.

His remarkable ride stands as a testament to the power of determination and the pursuit of personal excellence.

Honoring a commitment to community service Professional excellence and community service often go hand in hand, and Kshitij Bhupendra has built a reputation for both.

A

respected banking executive and community advocate based in British Columbia, Bhupendra was recently presented with the King Charles III Coronation Pin by Hon. Randeep Sarai, Member of Parliament for Surrey Centre and Secretary of State for International Development, in recognition of his commitment to leadership and service.

Bhupendra serves as Regional Director and Group Lead, Business Banking at Scotiabank for British Columbia and Yukon, where he leads a team supporting thousands of businesses across the region.

Beyond his professional role, he is well known for mentoring emerging leaders, supporting community initiatives and promoting collaboration within the South Asian community. His leadership journey has also been featured by Drishti Magazine, highlighting his

august 2026

commitment to empowering others through integrity, resilience and mentorship.

The King Charles III Coronation Pin recognizes Canadians whose volunteerism, leadership and civic engagement have made a positive impact in their communities.

Bhupendra’s recognition reflects the values of service and dedication that continue to shape his work, both inside and outside the boardroom.

As communities increasingly look to leaders who inspire through action, Bhupendra’s recognition is a reminder that success is measured not only by professional achievements but also by the lives touched along the way. His journey demonstrates how leadership rooted in service can create a lasting legacy and encourage others to make a meaningful difference in their own communities.

Through their unwavering support of the Surrey Food Bank, the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society continues to demonstrate that compassion and community service are just as vital as the work they do on the front lines.

For years, the organization has partnered with the Surrey Food Bank through fundraising initiatives,

donations and volunteer efforts, helping ensure that individuals and families facing food insecurity have access to essential support.

Their commitment reflects a deep understanding that building a safer community also means caring for its most vulnerable members.

As demand for food assistance continues to challenge communities across the region, partnerships like these have become more important than ever. The Surrey Fire Fighters’ ongoing contributions not only help stock food bank shelves but

also inspire a culture of generosity, reminding residents that even small acts of kindness can create a lasting impact.

Their dedication exemplifies the true spirit of public service, extending far beyond the fire hall and into the heart of the community.

Through their continued support of the Surrey Food Bank, Surrey’s firefighters are helping build a stronger, more resilient city where neighbors continue to look out for one another.

Five convertibles so compelling, we’d

S

ummer has always belonged to the convertible. Not because it’s the fastest way to travel or the most practical. Quite the opposite. Convertibles ask you to sacrifice cargo space, cabin refinement and, occasionally, common sense. Yet every year, as the days grow longer and the roads call louder, they remind us why driving was never meant to be measured in fuel economy or commute times.

The best drop-tops don’t simply remove the roof. They remove the barriers between driver, machine and the road ahead. Every throttle input feels sharper, every exhaust note richer and every corner more rewarding.

Whether your idea of the perfect drive is carving through mountain switchbacks, stretching a grand tourer across hundreds of interstate miles or listening to a naturally aspirated V8 echo off canyon walls, these are the convertibles we’d happily “borrow” for one unforgettable summer.

Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet If there’s a yardstick by which every sports car is measured, it’s the Porsche 911. More than six decades after its debut, the Carrera Cabriolet remains the benchmark because Porsche refuses to reinvent it.

Instead, it perfects it.

Its 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flatsix produces 388 horsepower, but numbers alone don’t explain why this car continues to dominate the segment. The rear-engine layout delivers exceptional traction exiting corners, the eight-speed PDK transmission shifts with near-telepathic precision and the

steering communicates every nuance of the road surface.

Unlike many high-performance convertibles, the 911 doesn’t ask for compromises. It’s equally comfortable threading through weekday traffic, tackling a winding mountain road or covering hundreds of highway miles in a single day.

Engine: 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six Power: 388 hp 0 to 60 mph: 3.9 seconds (Sport Chrono Package) Top Speed: 181 mph Why we’d steal it: Because no other convertible blends everyday usability with sports car precision so effortlessly.

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible For decades, Chevrolet chased European exotics. Today, it builds one.

The Corvette Z06 Convertible represents the boldest chapter in the Corvette’s history, pairing a mid-engine chassis with one of the greatest engines ever produced in America. Its 5.5-liter naturally aspirated flat-plane-crank V8 delivers an astonishing 670 horsepower and revs to 8,600 rpm, producing a soundtrack that’s closer to Maranello than Detroit.

What makes the Z06 remarkable isn’t just its straight-line speed.

Magnetic Ride Control keeps the chassis composed over imperfect pavement, while the balance afforded by its mid-engine architecture gives it the confidence and precision expected of cars costing twice as much.

Engine: 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 Power: 670 hp 0 to 60 mph: 2.6 seconds Top Speed: 195 mph Why we’d steal it: Because it’s America’s answer to the supercar establishment.

august 2026

Ferrari Roma Spider Not every Ferrari is built to dominate a racetrack. Some are designed to make every mile unforgettable.

The Roma Spider embraces grand touring with unmistakable Italian style.

Beneath its sculpted hood lies a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 612 horsepower, paired with Ferrari’s superb eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The result is explosive acceleration delivered with remarkable composure.

More impressive is its balance. The steering is beautifully weighted, the suspension absorbs rough pavement without dulling driver engagement and the fabric soft top preserves the graceful silhouette that defines the Roma.

Engine: 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 Power: 612 hp 0 to 60 mph: 3.3 seconds Top Speed: 199 mph Why we’d steal it: Because few cars combine beauty, speed and sophistication so effortlessly.

Mercedes-AMG SL 63 The letters “SL” once stood for Sport Leicht, or Sport Lightweight. Today’s SL 63 has evolved into something different: a luxury grand tourer that refuses to forget its performance roots.

A handcrafted 4.0-liter twinturbocharged V8 sends 577 horsepower through MercedesAMG’s fully variable all-wheel-drive system, launching the car to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.

Rear-wheel steering sharpens agility at lower speeds while adaptive suspension keeps the SL composed whether you’re attacking

corners or cruising with the top down.

Inside, the cabin blends cuttingedge technology with handcrafted materials, making long-distance drives every bit as enjoyable as spirited ones.

Engine: 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 Power: 577 hp 0 to 60 mph: 3.5 seconds Top Speed: 196 mph Why we’d steal it: Because it delivers supercar performance without sacrificing grand touring comfort.

Aston Martin Vantage Roadster The Vantage Roadster doesn’t shout for attention. It earns it.

With a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 sourced from Mercedes-AMG and meticulously tuned by Aston Martin, the Roadster delivers 656 horsepower with an unmistakably British sense of restraint.

The chassis is sharper than ever, the steering more precise and the balance more playful than previous generations.

Open the roof and the soundtrack transforms from refined growl to thunderous crescendo, reminding you that emotion remains Aston Martin’s greatest engineering achievement.

Engine: 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 Power: 656 hp 0 to 60 mph: 3.5 seconds Top Speed: 202 mph Why we’d steal it: Because style and substance rarely come together this convincingly.

DON’T LET SEASON ALLERGIES SPOIL THE S Simple steps to manage allergies and enjoy the outdoors

pring brings blooming flowers, greener landscapes and warmer weather, but for millions of people, it also marks the return of seasonal allergies. Commonly known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, seasonal allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances such as pollen, mold spores or pet dander, triggering symptoms that can interfere with daily life.

Recognizing the signs Seasonal allergies primarily affect the nose, eyes and airways. Common symptoms include: 4Sneezing 4Runny or stuffy nose 4Itchy nose, eyes or throat 4Red, watery or swollen eyes 4 Postnasal drip and congestion Although most allergies are mild, some reactions

can be severe. In rare cases, allergies may lead to anaphylaxis, a lifethreatening emergency that requires immediate medical attention.

Who is at risk?

You are more likely to develop allergies if you have a family history of asthma, eczema or allergies, or if you already have asthma or another allergic condition. While allergies often begin in childhood, they can develop at any age.

Getting the right diagnosis Because allergy symptoms can resemble those of a cold or sinus infection, proper diagnosis is important. Your health care provider

august 2026

Reduce your exposure The most effective way to manage seasonal allergies is to avoid known triggers whenever possible.

4 Stay indoors on dry, windy days when pollen counts are high.

4 Shower and change clothes after spending time outdoors.

4 Keep doors and windows closed during peak pollen periods.

4 Avoid drying laundry outside, where pollen can collect.

4 Wear a mask while gardening or mowing the lawn.

Using air conditioning, maintaining clean air filters and running a HighEfficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) purifier can also help improve indoor air quality.

Treatment options Several medications can effectively

control allergy symptoms. Overthe-counter antihistamines such as loratadine, cetirizine and fexofenadine can help relieve sneezing, itching and a runny nose. Prescription options, including bilastine (Blexten), may be recommended for some patients.

For persistent nasal congestion, corticosteroid nasal sprays are among the most effective treatments.

Decongestant nasal sprays may provide temporary relief but should not be used for more than three consecutive days to avoid rebound congestion.

For individuals with severe or long-lasting symptoms, allergen immunotherapy, including allergy shots or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), may offer long-term relief under the guidance of an allergist.

The bottom line Seasonal allergies can be frustrating, but they are highly manageable.

Identifying your triggers, limiting

exposure and starting treatment early can significantly reduce symptoms and help you enjoy the season with greater comfort.

Always consult your health care provider before starting any medication or allergy treatment to ensure it is appropriate for your individual health needs.

ummer style has a way of exposing the difference between fashion and true style. Heavy layering disappears, trends feel fleeting, and every outfit relies on fewer pieces to make an impression. That is precisely why the season rewards thoughtful dressing. A crisp linen shirt, impeccably tailored trousers, or a fluid silk dress speaks louder than an outfit crowded with accessories or logos.

Looking polished in warm weather is less about following trends and more about understanding how fabric, fit, and proportion work together.

Choose fabrics that do the work Before considering color or silhouette, pay attention to fabric.

Natural fibers such as linen, cotton poplin, silk, and lightweight wool not

only regulate temperature but also drape beautifully, creating movement that instantly elevates an outfit.

They age gracefully, soften with wear, and carry an understated elegance that synthetic materials rarely replicate. When the foundation feels luxurious, even the simplest ensemble appears intentional.

Build every outfit around one statement One of the easiest styling principles is also the most overlooked. Let one piece take center stage. It could be an oversized linen blazer, a beautifully cut white shirt, or a striking printed skirt.

Once you’ve chosen your hero piece, allow everything else to support it. Neutral separates, understated footwear, and minimal jewelry create

balance and prevent an outfit from feeling cluttered. The result is refined rather than overstyled.

Fit is more important than the label Luxury is often mistaken for designer branding, but impeccable fit is what truly distinguishes a well-dressed person. A jacket that sits perfectly on the shoulders, trousers that skim the body without pulling, and sleeves that end at the right point will always look more expensive than an ill-fitting designer garment. If there’s one investment worth making, it’s tailoring. Small alterations can transform even modest pieces into wardrobe favorites.

Keep accessories intentional Accessories should complete an

20

www. entertainmentmagazine.ca

outfit, not compete with it. A woven leather tote, classic sunglasses, sculptural earrings, or a sleek sandal adds personality without overwhelming the look. Resist the urge to wear every favorite piece at once. Editing is what gives an outfit confidence. When each accessory has a purpose, the overall look feels effortlessly sophisticated.

Dressing light isn’t about owning less or spending more. It’s about making thoughtful choices that work together with ease. Prioritize quality fabrics, impeccable fit, and timeless silhouettes, and your wardrobe will feel just as fresh next summer as it does today. The most elegant style has never been the loudest. It is the one that looks effortless because every detail has been carefully considered.

hen FIFA expanded the World Cup to 48 teams, there were doubts about whether the tournament would lose its edge. Instead, it delivered one of the most competitive, entertaining and memorable editions in the competition’s history.

Across 39 days, football produced everything it promises at its best: elite performances, dramatic upsets, emerging stars and a final worthy of the world’s biggest sporting stage.

No team embodied that better than Spain. From the opening match to the final whistle, La Roja looked every bit the tournament’s standout side. They controlled games through intelligent possession, defended with remarkable discipline and found another level whenever the pressure increased.

Their run to the title was built on consistency rather than moments of individual brilliance, a reflection of a squad that trusted its system and executed it almost flawlessly.

The final against defending champions Argentina was exactly what a World Cup decider should be: tense, tactical and uncompromising. For more than 100 minutes, neither side gave an inch. Then came the breakthrough.

Ferran Torres struck in extra time to settle the contest, sealing a 1-0 victory and Spain’s second FIFA World Cup title. It was the perfect finish to a campaign that saw Spain concede just one goal in eight matches, a new benchmark for a World Cup-winning team.

Spain’s dominance was reflected in the individual honours as well.

Rodri dictated games from midfield throughout the tournament and deservedly collected the Golden Ball as the competition’s best player.

Unai Simón won the Golden Glove after keeping seven clean sheets, while teenage defender Pau Cubarsí announced himself on the world stage by claiming the Young Player

Award. Even the Golden Boot belonged to a player from another nation, with France’s Kylian Mbappé finishing as the tournament’s leading scorer with 10 goals, a reminder of the extraordinary individual talent on display throughout the competition.

Beyond the champions, the tournament never lacked compelling storylines. Argentina came within one match of retaining the trophy. England returned to the podium with a thirdplace finish. Morocco confirmed its rise as a genuine force in international football, while Norway emerged as one of the competition’s biggest surprises. Every knockout round produced a statement performance, a tactical masterclass or an upset that reminded fans why the World Cup remains football’s ultimate stage.

The expanded format also answered its critics. More teams did not dilute the quality. Instead, they broadened the competition, bringing fresh styles of play, new rivalries and greater unpredictability. Packed stadiums across Canada, Mexico and the United States created a fitting backdrop for the biggest World Cup ever staged, with record attendance reflecting football’s growing global appeal.

When the confetti fell in New York New Jersey Stadium, Spain had earned its place in football history.

But FIFA World Cup 2026 will be remembered for much more than one champion.

It showcased the depth of the modern game, introduced a new generation of stars and proved that football’s greatest tournament can evolve without losing the drama that has made it the pinnacle of international sport.

Sanjay Rana sets a personal best at IRONMAN 70.3 Oregon With a personal best in Oregon and his eighth IRONMAN-branded finish, the endurance athlete continues to prove that perseverance and consistency are the true measures of success.

F

or endurance athletes, the finish line is never the end of the journey. It is simply another milestone on the road to becoming stronger, faster, and more resilient. That philosophy was on full display as Sanjay Rana delivered the performance of his triathlon career, clocking a personal best of 6:02:10 at the IRONMAN 70.3 Oregon in Salem, Oregon.

The achievement represents far more than a new personal record.

It marks Rana’s eighth IRONMANbranded finish, an impressive résumé that includes two full IRONMAN 140.6 races and six IRONMAN 70.3 events, reflecting years of commitment to one of the world’s most demanding endurance sports.

IRONMAN 70.3, often referred to as the “Half IRONMAN,” challenges athletes to complete a 1.9-kilometer swim, 90-kilometer bike ride, and 21.1-kilometer half marathon, covering a total distance of 70.3 miles. The Oregon event is regarded as one of the fastest races on the IRONMAN circuit, featuring a current-assisted swim in the Willamette River, a scenic ride through Oregon’s wine country, and a flat, fast run course in Salem. Its reputation makes it a favorite destination for athletes chasing personal bests.

Yet even on a course designed for speed, success is earned through months of disciplined preparation. Every early morning workout, every long ride, every training run, and every recovery session contributes to race day.

Rana’s new personal best is the culmination of that relentless dedication and consistency.

26

www. entertainmentmagazine.ca

Behind every endurance athlete is a support system that shares the journey. Rana credits much of his success to his family.

His wife, Harmeet, daughter Ana, and son Ambar have stood beside him through countless hours of training, offering encouragement, patience, and unwavering belief. In endurance sports, victories are rarely individual achievements. They are shared

by families who make sacrifices alongside the athlete.

The Oregon race also highlighted the spirit of camaraderie that defines the triathlon community. Competing alongside 363 teammates, including fellow athletes Sridhar, Ajaypal, and Raj Rai, made the experience even more memorable. While triathlon is often viewed as an individual sport, the friendships built through training and racing create a powerful sense of belonging that extends well beyond the finish line.

Completing eight IRONMANbranded races is an accomplishment few athletes achieve. It demands physical endurance, mental resilience, meticulous planning, and an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement. Rana’s latest performance demonstrates that experience, when combined with disciplined training, can still produce new milestones.

As he crossed the finish line in Oregon with a personal best, Rana added another memorable chapter to his endurance journey. But like every true IRONMAN athlete, he knows that every finish line is temporary.

The pursuit of becoming better never truly ends, and if his latest performance is any indication, there are many more milestones waiting to be achieved.

A brisk walk increases your heart rate, improves blood circulation and activates major muscle groups, including your calves, thighs, glutes and core. Unlike running, it places less stress on the knees, hips and ankles, making it suitable for beginners, older adults and anyone returning to exercise after a break.

Perhaps its biggest advantage is consistency. A workout only delivers results if you can maintain it, and walking is one of the few forms of exercise that almost anyone can build into daily life.

Walk with purpose, not just distance Not every walk delivers the same benefits. A leisurely stroll is excellent for relaxation, but improving fitness requires a purposeful pace. Aim to

walk fast enough that your breathing becomes slightly heavier while you’re still able to hold a conversation, often referred to as the “talk test.”

For most healthy adults, 30 to 45 minutes of brisk walking on at least five days a week is enough to meet recommended activity levels. As your fitness improves, increase the challenge by incorporating hills, climbing stairs, adding short bursts of faster walking or carrying light hand weights. Good posture also matters.

Keep your shoulders relaxed, engage your core, swing your arms naturally and land softly from heel to toe.

Small habits, lasting results Walking delivers its greatest benefits when it becomes part of your routine rather than an occasional workout.

Walking to nearby errands, taking the stairs, scheduling evening walks with family or replacing short car trips with a brisk walk are simple ways to increase your daily movement.

Just as importantly, don’t overlook recovery. Wear supportive footwear, stay hydrated, stretch after longer walks and avoid the hottest part of the day during summer. Progress doesn’t come from walking farther every day. It comes from showing up consistently.

Walking may not be the flashiest workout, but few forms of exercise offer such an effective combination of accessibility, safety and long-term health benefits.

Sometimes the simplest path really is the strongest one.

Make every walk more effective

4 Walk at a brisk pace, not a casual stroll.

4 Aim for 30–45 minutes, five days a week.

4 Include hills or stairs to increase intensity.

4 Swing your arms naturally to improve momentum.

4 Finish with a few minutes of stretching.

Learn the land’s story Visit an Indigenous cultural centre or museum to understand the province’s rich First Nations heritage.

Support local Spend your holiday at a farmers’ market, artisan fair, or familyowned business that reflects BC’s entrepreneurial spirit.

Celebrate diversity Attend a multicultural festival or discover a cuisine that’s new to you. British Columbia’s cultural richness is one of its greatest strengths.

E

very year, British Columbians look forward to the first Monday in August. For many, BC Day simply means an extra day to sleep in, catch up on errands, or escape to the nearest beach. Yet few pause to ask what the holiday is actually celebrating.

Introduced in 1974, BC Day recognizes the history, heritage, cultures, and achievements that have shaped British Columbia into one of Canada’s most diverse and admired provinces. While visitors travel from around the world to experience its mountains, coastlines, forests, and vibrant communities, many residents spend years here

august 2026

without venturing beyond their daily routines.

If you’ve lived in British Columbia for years, ask yourself: Do you really know the place you call home?

Knowing BC is about far more than ticking off famous destinations.

It begins with understanding the stories of the land. Visiting an Indigenous cultural centre or learning about the First Nations whose traditional territory you live on offers a deeper appreciation of the province long before modern cities were built.

It also means looking beyond the

familiar. While Vancouver, Victoria, and Whistler are iconic, British Columbia’s character often shines brightest in its smaller towns, local farmers’ markets, family-run cafés, vineyards, and coastal communities.

These places reveal a side of the province that guidebooks often miss.

BC is equally defined by its people.

Home to communities from around the world, the province celebrates diversity through festivals, neighbourhoods, cuisines, and traditions that enrich everyday life.

Stepping outside your own cultural comfort zone, whether by attending a multicultural festival or trying a new local restaurant, is one of the simplest

ways to experience the province more fully. Finally, there is nature. Whether it’s a walk through an old-growth forest, a ferry ride along the coast, or a quiet afternoon at a provincial park, British Columbia offers countless reminders that some of life’s richest experiences don’t require a passport.

This BC Day, instead of asking, “What should we do with the long weekend?” ask a different question: “What part of British Columbia have I never taken the time to know?”

The answer may become your most memorable adventure yet.

or city dwellers, outdoor space often comes at a premium, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up on gardening. A thoughtfully designed balcony can become an extension of your home, offering a peaceful retreat filled with greenery, color and fragrance.

The key is to start small: Choose plants that suit your balcony’s sunlight conditions and focus on varieties that are easy to maintain.

Herbs like basil, mint and rosemary thrive in containers, while flowering plants such as petunias, marigolds and geraniums instantly brighten a space. If you enjoy growing your own

Five foolproof plants for beginners produce, compact vegetables like cherry tomatoes, chilies and leafy greens are surprisingly well suited to pots.

Design is just as important as planting: Mix containers of different heights to create depth, add hanging planters to free up floor space, and incorporate vertical shelves or trellises for climbing plants.

Opt for natural materials like terracotta, ceramic or woven baskets to create a cohesive look that complements your outdoor furniture.

Finally, treat your balcony as another living space. A small café table, comfortable cushions, warm string lights and a weather-resistant rug can transform a functional garden into a place to unwind with your morning coffee or an evening book.

Balcony gardening isn’t about the size of the space. It’s about making the most of what you have. With a little planning and a handful of wellchosen plants, even the smallest corner can become a green sanctuary that grows more beautiful with every season.

4 Mint – Hardy, fragrant and ideal for containers.

If college I

magine this: tomorrow is graduation day. Your exams are over, your degree is in hand, and your first interview is next week.

Would you feel ready?

For many students, the answer is uncertain. While colleges do an excellent job of building academic knowledge, employers increasingly look for something more: practical experience, communication skills, adaptability, and the ability to solve real-world problems. In other words, earning a degree is just the beginning.

Here are five ways to prepare for your career before you toss your graduation cap.

Build a portfolio, not just a résumé A résumé tells employers what

you’ve done. A portfolio shows them.

Whether you’re a writer, designer, engineer, marketer, or computer science student, collect projects, presentations, research, or case studies that demonstrate your abilities. Evidence of your work often speaks louder than grades.

Learn to communicate with confidence Brilliant ideas don’t matter if you can’t explain them. Join a debate club, volunteer to present in class, or practice public speaking. Employers consistently rank communication among the most sought-after skills because every profession relies on collaboration.

Gain experience before someone pays you for it Internships, volunteering, campus leadership, or freelance projects

all count as valuable experience. They demonstrate initiative, expose you to workplace expectations, and help you build a professional network before your job search even begins.

Create a professional digital presence Recruiters often look you up online before inviting you to an interview. Keep your LinkedIn profile updated, use a professional email address, and showcase your achievements in a way that reflects your career aspirations. Your online presence should reinforce your résumé, not contradict it.

Learn how to keep learning The workplace evolves faster than any

curriculum. The graduates who thrive aren’t necessarily the ones who know the most today, but those who are willing to learn tomorrow.

Short courses, certifications, industry webinars, and mentorship can help you stay relevant long after college ends.

A degree may qualify you for your first opportunity, but your curiosity, initiative, and adaptability will shape everything that follows.

So before graduation arrives, ask yourself one question: If college ended tomorrow, would you be ready for work, or just ready to graduate?

Brilliant ideas don’t matter if you can’t explain them. Join a debate club, volunteer to present in class, or practice public speaking.

The career readiness checklist

Before graduation, aim to have: 4 A polished résumé 4 An updated LinkedIn profile 4 At least one internship, volunteer role, or project 4 Two professional references 4 A portfolio or work samples 4 Interview practice 4 One mentor in your chosen field

Matt Damon delivers one of the strongest performances of his career as Odysseus. He portrays the legendary Greek king not as an invincible hero, but as a weary warrior shaped by loss, regret and determination.

Anne Hathaway brings grace and emotional depth to Penelope, while Tom Holland impresses as Telemachus, whose journey mirrors his father’s search for purpose and belonging.

Visually, The Odyssey is stunning.

Expansive landscapes, turbulent seas and spectacular action sequences are captured with Nolan’s trademark precision, creating an immersive experience that rewards viewing on the biggest screen possible.

THE VERDICT

The Odyssey More than an epic adventure, The Odyssey is a story about perseverance, family and the universal desire to find one’s way home.

very August 15, India pauses to remember the moment it became an independent nation.

The day honors the sacrifices that ended colonial rule and gave a young country the opportunity to chart its own future. Nearly eight decades later, that future is unfolding in remarkable ways.

India’s influence today extends far beyond its borders. From yoga studios in Vancouver and Ayurvedainspired wellness products in London to Bollywood music, Indian cuisine, handcrafted textiles, and festivals celebrated across continents, Indian culture has become part of the global mainstream. What was once seen as distinctly Indian is now embraced by people from every background.

The country’s impact reaches well beyond culture. Indian entrepreneurs are building global companies, scientists and researchers are driving innovation, and Indian professionals are leading some of the world’s largest organizations. At the same time, India’s startup ecosystem, digital public infrastructure, and space achievements have positioned the country as an increasingly important voice in the global economy.

This influence is no accident.

Independence gave India more than political freedom. It gave the nation the confidence to define itself on its own terms, preserve its heritage, invest in education, encourage entrepreneurship, and celebrate the diversity that has always been one of its greatest strengths.

Perhaps the most visible ambassadors of modern India are its people. Across Canada and around the world, the Indian diaspora continues to build businesses, contribute to research, enrich communities, and introduce new generations to the country’s languages, traditions, and values.

Every festival celebrated abroad, every family recipe passed down, and every

success story written by an Indian overseas adds another chapter to India’s global story.

As India celebrates another Independence Day, the occasion is about more than remembering the past.

It is also about recognizing how far the country has come and imagining what comes next.

The struggle for freedom shaped India’s history. The freedom to innovate, create, and inspire is shaping its future.

And perhaps that is the true measure of independence: not just the ability to stand on your own, but the ability to leave a lasting mark on the world.

MANISH’S ZODIAC PREDICTIONS august 2026 Manish Kumar Arora, 91-9871062000

What's your Astrology sign? Select your Astro sign and read below:

ARIES (21 March – 19 April)

TAURUS (20 April – 20 May)

GEMINI (21 May – 20 June)

CANCER (21 June – 22 July)

Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents. It is a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner.

You’re feeling brave, independent and eager to begin new projects.

There is much initiative now, with personal involvement in new ventures or undertakings. You are striving for independence and freedom of movement in everyday affairs. The key now is not overstating yourself.

You may enjoy key opportunity periods that boost your selfconfidence, and do wonders for your ego and your relationships, particularly if your relationships or your own confidence in the way you present yourself to others is in need of healing. New financial initiatives are best avoided however.

This is a time when you let loose your softer, receptive side.

Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness.

LEO (23 July – 22 August)

VIRGO (23 August – 22 September)

Libra (23 September – 22 October)

Scorpio (23 October – 21 November)

This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents.

On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual. It’s time to carve your own path in life.

You have presence and you project confidence.

You are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. A renewed feeling of confidence is with you now.

Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and selfexpression comes easy.

You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to “live in the head”. Relationships with siblings, neighbours, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.

Enthusiasm and confidence are with you now, and it’s easy to tap into your more unique qualities and talents in order to go after what we want. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (22 November – 21 December)

CAPRICORN (22 December – 19 January)

AQUARIUS (20 January – 18 February)

Pisces (19 February – 20 March)

It’s time to do something selfexpressive, fun, and creative. You could feel an overwhelming need to pour your heart out to a lover, or a romantic affair reaches some sort of epiphany. There could be a whirlwind of activity surrounding your child or children.

Your focus is on making contacts and reaching out to others in both social and professional sense. It’s a time to turn inner restlessness into fruitful contact with others.

The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded and hearted people.

This month, your focus is on balancing time between your career and your social agenda. You might draw upon your executive ability now. It’s a busy month for business and work; at the same time, socializing and romance also figure prominently. Love matters are mostly easy and amiable.

This is time to plant a creative seed--you are inspired with a new project or plan. This is a strong time for romance.

Negotiations run smoothly, charm works, and a positive connection can be made with a person of a markedly different background than you.

at the start of the day. Feel the warmth of the early sun, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee without distractions. A calm beginning creates space to appreciate the day before it fills with obligations.

Take the scenic route Swap evening screen time for a leisurely walk through your neighborhood, a nearby trail, or your favorite park. Listen to birdsong, notice the changing colors of the sky, and enjoy the comforting sounds

of late summer. Sometimes the simplest walks become the most restorative part of the day.

Celebrate the flavors of August This is the season of farmers’ markets, backyard barbecues, ripe peaches, sweet corn, and vine-ripened tomatoes. Share a meal outdoors, try a new seasonal recipe, or gather family and friends around the table. Slowing down long enough to enjoy fresh, local food is one of summer’s greatest pleasures.

august 2026

Save the little moments Not every memory needs to live on your phone. Write down a favorite conversation, print a photograph, collect a postcard from a weekend getaway, or press a flower from your garden. These small keepsakes often become the moments we treasure long after summer has passed.

End the day beneath the stars Before heading indoors, spend a few quiet moments outside after sunset.

Watch the stars appear, listen to the evening sounds, and let the stillness settle in. It’s a gentle reminder that some of life’s richest experiences don’t require a destination, only the willingness to pause.

Rakshabandhan Special 50

Does Raksh really need an E

The most meaningful present this Raksha B

very Raksha Bandhan begins the same way. A rakhi is tied, sweets are shared, gifts are exchanged, and photographs make their way to family WhatsApp groups and social media. By the next morning, the wrapping paper is gone, the sweets are finished, and life resumes as usual.

Which raises an important question: What happens after the rakhi comes off?

The festival was never meant to be a one-day celebration. At its heart, Raksha Bandhan is a promise, one that lasts long after the thread fades.

Yet today, that promise is often overshadowed by the pressure to buy a bigger gift each year.

This Raksha Bandhan, consider giving something that won’t be forgotten next week.

Give your time. Instead of another gift card, spend an afternoon together, even if it’s just over a video call. Shared conversations often become the memories siblings cherish the most.

Take care of your parents together. Book a health checkup, organize their medical records, or simply agree to share responsibilities more equally. There’s no better way

Did you know?

Raksha Bandhan has long been associated with sibling bonds, but the spirit of the festival has also extended beyond families.

Throughout history, the rakhi has symbolized trust, goodwill, and protection between friends, communities, and even political allies. Today, many people tie rakhis to cousins, close friends, mentors, and those they consider family by choice, reflecting the festival’s enduring message that meaningful relationships are built on care and commitment.

to honor family than by caring for the people who raised you.

Bring back a childhood memory.

Recreate an old photograph, cook a favorite family recipe, or revisit a place that mattered growing up. Nostalgia has a way of reconnecting people faster than expensive presents.

Write what you rarely say. A handwritten note expressing gratitude, admiration, or even an apology can become far more valuable than anything money can buy.

Create a new tradition. Make one promise you’ll keep every year, whether it’s a monthly phone call, a siblings-only dinner, or a family trip.

Traditions are what keep relationships alive long after festivals end.

The rakhi may stay on the wrist for only a few days, but the bond it represents is meant to last a lifetime. Perhaps the best gift isn’t another package waiting to be opened. It’s the

decision to keep showing up for one another, not just on Raksha Bandhan, but on all the ordinary days that follow.

होठों के आस-पास स्किन हो रही काली-ढीली? ये घरेलू मास्क हर समस्या कर देगा हल

उम्र बढ़ने के साथ त्वचा में कोलेजन और इलास्टिन का उत्पादन कम होने लगता है, जिससे त्वचा अपनी कसावट खो देती है। इसका सबसे ज्यादा असर आंखों और होठों के किनारे वाली स्किन पर पड़ता है। होठों के किनारे वाली त्वचा पर डार्क स्पॉट्स और ढीलापन नजर आने लगता है अगर आपके होठों के आस-पास भी त्वचा लूज हो रही है और काले धब्बे दिख रहे हैं, तो घर का बना मास्क लगाकर उसे सही कर सकते हैं।

काले धब्बों के लिए क्या लगाएं होठों के आस-पास हो रहे काले धब्बों से छु टकारा पाने के लिए आप दही और शहद को मिक्स करके लगाएं। दही में लैक्टिक एसिड होता है, जो नेचुरल अल्फाहाइड्रॉक्सी एसिड होता है। ये डेड स्किन को हटाने और त्वचा को मुलायम बनाने में मदद कर सकता है। वहीं शहद त्वचा को फ्री-रैडिकल्स से होने वाले नुकसान से बचाने में मदद करता है। कैसे लगाएं ये पेस्ट 2 चम्मच दही में 1 चम्मच शहद मिक्स करें। इस पेस्ट को अच्छे से घोल लें और फिर होठों के आस-पास लगाकर आधे घंटे के लिए छोड़ दीजिए। इसे रोजाना लगाने से आपको पिग्मेंटश े न से छु टकारा मिलेगा और स्किन साफ दिखेगी।

इस पेस्ट से ढीली त्वचा टाइट हो जाएगी और धब्बे भाी कम हो जाते हैं।

ढीली त्वचा को कैसे करें टाइट लिप्स के आस-पास वाली लूज स्किन के लिए आपको 2 चम्मच मिल्क पाउडर में 1 चम्मच शहद को गुनगुने पानी के साथ मिलाना है। इस पेस्ट को बनाकर आप होठों के आस-पास लगाकर 15-20 मिनट के लिए छोड़ दें। फिर रगड़ते हुए साफ करें और पानी से धोएं।

कोलेजन बूस्ट करने वाले फूड्स अगर आपके पूरे चेहरे की त्वचा ढीली हो रही है, तो आप डाइट में कोलेजन बूस्ट करने वाले फू ड्स भाी शामिल कर सकती हैं। संतरा, मौसंबी, नींबू, स्ट्रॉबेरी, ब्लूबेरी और रास्पबेरी जैसी चीजों को खाएं। इससे स्किन में नेचुरल कोलेजन बूस्ट होता है और ढीली

त्वचा टाइट हो जाती है। पैच टेस्ट करना न भाूलें- ऊपर बताई गईं चीजें नेचुरल हैं और त्वचा को कोई नुकसान नहीं पहुंचाती हैं। लेकिन अगर आपको किसी तरह की एलर्जी हो या स्किन सेंसिटिव हो, तो आप बिना पैच टेस्ट किए इन्हें इस्तेमाल न करें। किसी भाी तरह की एलर्जी-जलन होने पर फौरन हटा दें। By: Sajan Kumar

कै से बनेगा हेयर स्प्रे रोजमेरी हेयर स्प्रे बनाने के लिए एक रात पहले 1 बड़ा चम्मच मेथी दाना और 1 बड़ा चम्मच कलौंजी को पानी में रात भार यानी 8-12 घंटे के लिए भिागोकर रख दें। इससे एंजाइम एक्टिवेट होते हैं और ज्यादा से ज्यादा कं पाउंड्स निकलते हैं। रातभार भाीगने क बाद अगली सुबह 500 एमएल पानी उबालें और इसे आंच से उतार लें। इसमें 4 से 5 रोजमेरी की टहनियां डालें और इसके डालते ही तुरंत ढक दें। 30-40 मिनट तक ऐसे ही रहने दें। फिर भाीगी हुई मेथी और कलौंजी को रोजमेरी वाले पानी में मिलाएं। इसमें वह पानी भाी मिलाना है जिसमें कलौंजी और मेथी भाीग रही थीं। अब फिर से पानी को ढक दें। 30 मिनट और रखे रहने दें। टाइम पूरा होने के बाद अच्छी तरह छान लें। सारा अर्क निकालने के लिए छलनी को जोर से दबाएं और पूरी तरह ठं डा होने दें। एक छोटा चम्मच एलोवेरा जेल मिलाकर अच्छी तरह मिक्स करें। अब इस रोजमेरी के पानी को एक गहरे रंग की कांच की स्प्रे बोतल में भार लें। इसे फ्रिज में रखें। यह 7-10 दिनों तक फ्रे श रहता है। कै से इस्तेमाल करें रोजमेरी हेयर स्प्रे का इस्तेमाल करने के लिए इसे सीधे स्कै ल्प पर स्प्रे करें। इसके लिए बालों के सेक्शन बनाकर स्प्रे लगाएं और फिर 5 मिनट तक मसाज करें। इसे लगा रहने दें। ध्यान रहे कि इसे लगाने के बाद धोना नहीं है। इस स्प्रे का रोजाना इस्तेमाल कर सकते हैं। By: Sajan Kumar

समर सीजन में न बिगड़ने दें अपने शरीर की सुंदरतां, इन ब्यूटी टिप्स को जरूर करें फालो

गर्मी का मौसम अपने साथ तेज धूप, पसीना और धूल लेकर आता है। ऐसे में त्वचा और बालों की देखभा​ाल करना बेहद जरूरी हो जाता है। अगर सही स्किन और हेयर के यर रूटीन अपनाया जाए, तो इस मौसम में भाी त्वचा को स्वस्थ, चमकदार और बालों को मुलायम रखा जा सकता है। आइए जानते हैं गर्मियों के लिए कु छ आसान और असरदार ब्यूटी टिप्स। सनस्क्रीन का इस्तेमाल जरूर करें गर्मी में घर से बाहर निकलने से पहले सनस्क्रीन लगाएं। यह त्वचा को हानिकारक यूवी किरणों से बचाने के साथ टैनिंग और सनबर्न से भाी सुरक्षा देता है। हर 2-3 घंटे बाद दोबारा सनस्क्रीन लगाना बेहतर रहता है, खासकर अगर आप लंबे समय तक धूप में रहें।

दाढ़ी के बालों की ग्रोथ है धीमी तो इन 2 चीजों को लगाने से मिलेगा फायदा पुरुषों की दाढ़ी उनकी पर्सनैलिटी को बेहतर दिखाने में मदद करती है। कई लोग चेहरे को लंबा और परफे क्ट दिखाने के लिए लंबी और घनी दाढ़ी रखना पसंद करते हैं लेकिन अगर ग्रोथ कम हो तो बाल जल्दी नहीं उगते। ऐसे में फिर लोग बियर्ड ट्रीटमेंट्स लेते हैं या फिर महंगे तेल और क्रीम लगाने लगते हैं। अगर आप भाी दाढ़ी के बालों की धीमी ग्रोथ से परेशान हो चुके हैं और कई चीजें ट्राई कर चुके हैं, तो अब सिर्फ 2 चीजों को लगाकर देखें। इन 2 चीजों को लगाने से कई लोगों को अच्छा रिजल्ट मिला है और ये बिल्कु ल नेचुरल है जो ज्यादातर घरों में आसानी से मिल भाी जाएंगी।

ग्रोथ क्यों रहती है कम? कु छ लोगों में हार्मोनल बदलाव, उम्र या जींस के कारण दाढ़ी की ग्रोथ धीमी रहती है। तो वहीं कु छ लोगों की खराब स्लीप साइकिल, खान-पान भाी इसका कारण हो सकता है। अगर आप ज्यादा तनाव में रहते हैं, तब भाी दाढ़ी या सिर के

बालों की ग्रोथ पर सीधा असर पड़ेगा। पुरुषों में खासतौर पर टेस्टोस्टेरोन और डीएचटी दाढ़ी के विकास को कं ट्रोल करते हैं। अगर इनका लेवल कम होता है, जो हेयर ग्रोथ कम होने लगता है। किन चीजों से बढ़ेगी ग्रोथ अगर आप कई चीजें ट्राई करके परेशान हो चुके हैं, तो अब दाढ़ी की ग्रोथ बढ़ाने के लिए 2 घरेलू तरीके अपनाकर देखें। बस इन तरीकों को अपनाने से पहले सही तरीका जान लें।

एलोवेरा जेल बढ़ाएगा ग्रोथ एलोवेरा हर घर में लगा होता है और इसका जेल बालों और त्वचा के लिए काफी फायदेमंद भाी माना जाता है। एलोवेरा जेल स्कै ल्प के ब्लड सकु र्लेशन को बेहतर करता है और डेड स्किन को साफ कर बालों को नमी देता है। साथ ही ग्रोथ बढ़ाने में मदद करता है। इसमें मौजूद एंटी-बैक्टीरियल गुण बालों में होने वाली रूसी या खुजली की समस्या को भाी दूर करते हैं।

एलोवेरा जेल 2 चम्मच निकाल लें और इसमें 1 चम्मच नारियल या कै स्टर आॅयल मिक्स करें। अब इस पेस्ट को दाढ़ी के बालों पर लगाते हुए मसाज करें। ध्यान रखें कि इसे लगाने के 1 घंटे तक दाढ़ी को धोना नहीं है। अगर संभाव हो तो आप रात में सोने से पहले इसे लगाएं। इससे ग्रोथ जल्दी बढ़ाने में मदद मिलेगी। प्याज का रस लगाकर देखें प्याज का रस बालों के लिए नेचुरल टॉनिक की तरह काम करता है और ग्रोथ बढ़ाने में मदद करता है। प्याज के रस में सल्फर, एंटीआॅक्सीडेंट्स और एंटीबैक्टीरियल गुण होते हैं, जो स्कै ल्प को स्वस्थ रखते हैं और बालों की ग्रोथ बढ़ाते हैं। इससे बाल घने भाी होते हैं। प्याज को पीसकर रस निकाल लें और रुई की मदद से दाढ़ी पर लगाएं। 30 मिनट तक लगाकर छोड़ दें, फिर पानी से धोएं। प्याज के रस से भाी आपके दाढ़ी के बाल बढ़ेंगे।

चेहरे को साफ रखें गर्मी में पसीना और धूल त्वचा पर जल्दी जमा हो जाते हैं। इसलिए दिन में दो बार हल्के फे सवॉश से चेहरा साफ करें। इससे त्वचा ताजगी महसूस करेगी और मुंहासों की समस्या भाी कम होगी। खूब पानी पिएं त्वचा की प्राकृ तिक चमक बनाए रखने के लिए शरीर को हाइड्रेट रखना जरूरी है। दिनभार में पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पिएं। नारियल पानी, नींबू पानी, छाछ और ताजे फलों का रस भाी शरीर को ठं डक और ऊर्जा प्रदान करते हैं। हल्का मेकअप चुनें गर्मियों में हैवी मेकअप की बजाय हल्का और वॉटरप्रूफ मेकअप बेहतर रहता है। टिंटडे मॉइस्चराइजर, बीबी क्रीम और हल्का कॉम्पैक्ट इस्तेमाल करें ताकि त्वचा प्राकृ तिक और फ्रे श दिखे। बालों की देखभा​ाल करें तेज धूप और पसीने के कारण बाल रूखे और बेजान हो सकते हैं। सप्ताह में एक-दो बार हल्के तेल से मसाज करें और माइल्ड शैम्पू का इस्तेमाल करें। बाहर निकलते समय स्कार्फ , कै प या छाता इस्तेमाल करें ताकि बाल धूप से सुरक्षित रहें।

रबड़ी कैसे बनाएं गुलाब जामुन की चाशनी से रबड़ी बनाने के लिए सबसे पहले एक कढ़ाई में दूध गर्म करें और फिर अच्छी तरह से उबाल आने तक पकाएं। एक बार जब दूध में उबाल आ जाए तो इसमें गुलाब जामुन की बची चाशनी डालें। इसे अच्छे से चलाते हुए उबालें और फिर इसमें के सर के रेशे डालें और अच्छी तरह से उबाल लें। फिर इस दूध में दूध का पाउडर डालें और अच्छे से पकने के बाद इसमें बारीक कटी मेवा डालें। गाढ़ी होने तक पकाने के बाद इसमें इलायची पाउडर डालें। अब कढ़ाई से रबड़ी को एक कटोरे में निकालें और फिर इसे फ्रिज में कु छ देर के लिए ठं डा होने के लिए रख दें। जब ये ठं डा हो जाए तो इसे सर्व करें। दूध में चाशनी डालने से पहले चाशनी को अच्छी तरह से स्टील की छन्नी की मदद से छान लें। ये स्टेप बिल्कु ल मिस ना करें, क्योंकि चाशनी में गुलाब जामुन के छोटे-छोटे टुकड़े हो सकते हैं जो रबड़ी के स्वाद को बिगाड़ देंगे।

प्लास्टिक की बोतल की जगह कांच या स्टील की बोतल घर और बाहर पानी पीने के लिए कांच या स्टील की बोतल

बॉक्स आॅफिस पर ‘गदर’ मचाने वाले सनी देओल और ल्यारी के ‘धुरंधर’ अक्षय खन्ना, साल 1997 की ब्लॉकबस्टर ‘बॉर्डर’ के करीब 30 साल बाद दोबारा साथ लौटे हैं। जाहिर है ऐसे में ‘इक्का’ से उम्मीदें भाी उतनी ही बड़ी थीं। निर्देशक सिद्धार्थ पी मल्होत्रा ने जब से अपनी कोर्टरूम ड्रामा फिल्म की घोषणा की, इसे लेकर लोगों में जबरदस्त उत्साह दिखा। लेकिन अफसोस कि दोनों की स्टार पावर और दमदार परफॉर्मेंस के बावजूद यह फिल्म वो जादू नहीं जगा पाती, जिसकी आस थी। फिल्म सिनेमाघरों की बजाय सीधे ओटीटी प्लेटफॉर्म नेटफ्लिक्स पर रिलीज हुई है। फिल्म ‘इक्का’ की सबसे बड़ी ताकत इसकी स्टार पावर है। सनी देओल, अक्षय खन्ना, दीया मिर्जा, तिलोत्तमा शोम जैसे सितारे अपनी मौजूदगी और परफॉर्मेंस से इसे चमकदार बनाते हैं। सभाी ने अपनी-अपनी भाूमिका के साथ भारपूर न्याय किया है। सनी और अक्षय के गहमागहमी वाले सीन देखने लायक हैं, लेकिन सिद्धार्थ पी मल्होत्रा निर्देशित और अल्थिया कौशल के लिखे इस कोर्टरूम ड्रामा में उस इंटसें िटी,

चौंकाने वाले खुलासों और धारदार बहस की कमी खलती है, जिसकी दर्शक उम्मीद करते हैं। एक और कमी मयंक तिवारी के डायलॉग्स में खलती है। उनमें सनी देओल की मशहूर कोर्टरूम फिल्म ‘दामिनी’ वाला असर नहीं है। फिल्म की एक कमजोरी किरदारों का लेयर्ड न होना भाी है। सनी के अलावा बाकी किरदारों में गहराई नहीं है। यहां तक कि अर्जुन को जैसा कद्दावर वकील बताया गया है, वो साख भाी कोर्ट में नहीं दिखती। फिल्म में जज बने ‘बिग बॉस’ की आवाज विजय विक्रम सिंह यहां भाी उसी अंदाज में अर्जुन पर हावी दिखते हैं। जबकि विरोधी वकील मधुरा बनर्जी (तिलोत्तमा शोम) के नए गवाह लाते ही वह अर्ली रिसेस यानी खाने की छु ट्टी की गुहार लगाने लगता है। बाकी, प्रोडक्शन वैल्यू और तकनीकी पक्ष में फिल्म मजबूत है। हालांकि, श्वेता वेंकट मैथ्यू की एडिटिंग में भाी कसर रह गई है। बावजूद इसके , इस फिल्म से ओटीटी पर दस्तक दे रहे धर्मेंद्र के बड़े बेटे सनी देओल के लिए यह फिल्म एक बार तो देखी जा सकती है।

THE VERDICT

इक्का

बॉलीवुड की नैया इन दिनों सीक्वल और फ्रैं चाइजी फिल्मों पर ही सवार चल रही है। अके ले अजय देवगन की बात करें तो वह ‘गोलमाल’, ‘सिंघम’, ‘दे दे प्यार दे’, ‘दृश्यम’, और ‘रेड’ फ्रैं चाइजी में पार्ट 1, 2, 3, 4 की झड़ी लगाए हुए हैं। इसी लिस्ट में वह 2007 की हिट कॉमेडी फिल्म ‘धमाल’ के तीसरे पार्ट ‘टोटल धमाल’ का भाी वह हिस्सा बने थे। अब शुक्रवार 10 जुलाई 2026 को इसकी नई कड़ी ‘धमाल 4’ सिनेमाघरों में पहुंच चुकी है। लेकिन अभाी दो हफ्ते पहले ही आई अक्षय कु मार की ‘वेलकम टू द जंगल’ की तरह ही, अजय देवगन की यह फिल्म भाी दर्जन भार कलाकारों के साथ पागलपन भारी बिना सिर-पैर वाली कॉमेडी फिल्म है, जो आपको हंसाने की कोशिश तो खूब करती है, लेकिन उसमें कामयाब कहीं-कहीं पर ही हो पाती है। जैसा कि ट्रेलर से साफ है, इंद्र कु मार निर्देशित यह फिल्म पागलपंती भारी, दिमाग के दरवाजे बंद करके देखने वाली सेंसलेस कॉमेडी है। हर सीन में नॉनस्टॉप कॉमेडी आॅफ एरर क्रिएट करने के चक्कर में कु छ भाी ऊटपटांग हो रहा है। इंद्र कु मार कहीं न कहीं अब भाी 90 के उसी दशक में अटके हुए हैं, जहां लोगों के हकलाने और वजन पर जोक्स आदि को हंसने का सबब माना जाता था। ‘धमाल 4’ के ज्यादातर जोक्स पुराने और घिसे-पिटे हैं। जाहिर है ऐसे में ये ज्यादा प्रभा​ावित नहीं करते। फिल्म का वीएफएक्स भाी कमजोर है। हालांकि, कु छ ट्रैक्स मजेदार भाी हैं, जो दर्शकों को हंसने का मौका देते हैं। जैसे- अरशद-जावेद जाफरी और संजीदा की तिकड़ी। वे जब भाी सीन पर आते हैं, हंसाते हैं। फिल्म में संजय मिश्रा का ब्रो-मांस भाी मजेदार लगता है। जबकि, रितेश का देसी अंदाज थोड़ा लाउड हो गया है। बाकी, एक्टिंग के मामले में सभाी कलाकारों ने अपनी-अपनी भाूमिका ठीक-ठाक निभा​ाई है। कु ल मिलाकर, अगर आप दिमाग के दरवाजे बंद करके फिल्म देखने की कला जानते हैं, तभाी यह ‘धमाल 4’ आपको रास आएगी, वरना सिर्फ पकाएगी।
