US uncovers Capitol raid plot

@hiindia

/hiindiaNews

The police force that guards the US Capitol said on Wednesday it has obtained intelligence pointing to a possible plot by a militia group to breach the building on Thursday, an alleged plan with echoes of the January 6 Capitol attack.

A US Capitol Police statement did not name the organisation but called it “an identified militia group”. Authorities have said Right-wing extremists were part of a mob of supporters of former President Donald Trump that stormed the Capitol and interrupted the formal congressional certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory. Thursday marks the date when some Right-wing conspiracy theorists have claimed that Trump, defeated by Biden in the November 3 election, will be sworn in

773.526.8353 MIDWEST / EASTCOAST

for a second term in office. Among those arrested in connection with the January 6 rampage were members of the Right-wing groups the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.

Five people including a police officer died in the riot. The Capitol Police said it is working with local, state and federal agencies “to stop any threats to the Capitol”, adding, “We are taking the intelligence seriously.” No further details on the threat were provided.

The Capitol Police statement noted that the department already has made “significant security upgrades” at the Capitol, home to the US House of Representatives and Senate. It was unclear if these upgrades were made in response to this latest threat or were measures put in place following the January 6 riot.

The statement issued did not name the organisation but called it “an identified militia group”

Defence sales to India shows commitment to India’s security, sovereignty: US "As of this year, the United States has authorized over USD 20 billion in defence sales to India. It's these offers of advanced US defence platforms that demonstrate our commitment to India's security and sovereignty," State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said.

HiIndia Newsdesk The sale of major defence equipment to India which now stands at USD 20 billion shows America’s commitment to India’s security and sovereignty, the Biden administration said on Wednesday.

Spokesperson Ned Price told reporters at his daily news conference.

“It demonstrates our commitment to that global, comprehensive, strategic partnership,” he said. The spokesperson was asked if the new Biden administration is reviewing its defence deals with India as it is doing with some other countries. India’s Ambassador to the US, Taranjit Singh Sandhu said bilateral military and security ties are stronger than ever before.

Biden says ‘Neanderthal thinking’ behind lifting of mask rules HiIndia Newsdesk President Joe Biden has criticised the lifting of mask requirements in the states of Texas and Mississippi, calling it "Neanderthal thinking".

"I think it's a big mistake," he said.

Masks, social distancing and other measures were still important, despite the role vaccines were playing in containing the pandemic, he said.

Texas and Mississippi will also allow all businesses to open at full capacity. Other states have announced a relaxation of some rules. The US has recorded 28.7 million infections and 519,000 deaths related to Covid-19 since the pandemic began.

HiIndia Newsdesk Security has been ramped up at the US Capitol in Washington in response to "a possible plot to breach" the building.

The move was prompted by intelligence that a militia group planned the attack for 4 March - the day conspiracy theorist group QAnon believes Donald Trump will return for a second term.

The House of Representatives cancelled Thursday's session, but the Senate will continue with its agenda.

A mob loyal to Mr Trump stormed the Congress building in January.

That attack came as lawmakers were inside moving to certify Democrat Joe Biden's election victory. Mr Trump still refuses to admit losing the election.

The riot saw five people including a police officer killed and shook the foundations of American democracy. The head of the Capitol police force later resigned.

HiIndia Newsdesk ORLANDO, Fla. -- A majority of small businesses are not requiring their employees to get tested for the new coronavirus or get any COVID-19 vaccines, though the health care and hospitality industries are ahead of the curve on this requirement, according to a report released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau.

The bureau's most recent Small Business Pulse Survey showed 70% of the small businesses surveyed said “no" when asked if they had required employees to test negative for COVID-19 before

coming to work in the last week.

Another 10% said “yes" and almost 20% said the question was not applicable.

Of the small businesses, two sectors, health care and accommodations/ food service had higher rates than the national average — respectively 15.5% and 14.3%. When asked if employees were asked to have proof of COVID-19 vaccination in the past week, 2.2% of the small businesses answered “yes" and 78.4% answered “no," with 19.4% saying it wasn't applicable, according to the survey.

Alphabet Inc’s Google will not build or use alternate tools to track web browsing traffic once it begins phasing out existing technology from its Chrome browser next year, it said in a blog post on Wednesday, in a move that will reshape how online advertising works.

Google first announced it would get rid of third-party cookies, which for decades has enabled online ads, early last year to meet growing data privacy standards in Europe and the US. Privacy activists for years have criticised tech companies including Google for using cookies to gather web browsing records across websites they don’t own, enabling them to develop profiles on users’ interests to serve personalised ads.

'Metro Man' E Sreedharan BJP's Chief Minister Candidate: Union Minister HiIndia Newsdesk

Thiruvananthapuram: E Sreedharan, the 'metro man' of India, will be the BJP's chief ministerial candidate for next month's Kerala Assembly election, Union Minister V Muraleedharan tweeted Thursday evening.

"'Metro man' E Sreedharan built (a) bridge in five months without corruption. Not like the flyover which had to be brought down and was reflective of CPM-UDF misrule.

Calling her the "real Bengal tigress", the Maharashtra-based party's senior leader and Rajya Sabha member, Sanjay Raut, today said it will not be contesting what appears to be a "Didi Vs All" fight this time.

Indian-origin pharmacist jailed for selling prescriptiononly medicines on black market in UK

HiIndia Newsdesk

HiIndia Newsdesk US Capitol Police said that it has learned of a "possible plot to breach the Capitol" by a militia group driven by a conspiracy theory suggesting former President Donald Trump would return to power on March 4.

The Capitol Police said in a statement that it has obtained intelligence about the plot planned by an "identified militia group" and already made "significant security upgrades" to the Capitol starting earlier this week, Xinhua news agency reported.

The security upgrades include "establishing a physical structure and increasing manpower to ensure the protection of Congress, the public and our police officers," said the statement, adding that the force is "working with our local, state, and federal partners to stop any threats to the Capitol.""We are taking the intelligence seriously. Due to the sensitive nature of this information, we cannot provide additional details at this time," the statement said.

Some QAnon conspiracy theorists have said that Trump will be inaugurated on March 4 because that was the original Inauguration Day for presidents until 1933, when it was moved to January 20.

However, a source told CNN that it is mostly online talk and not necessarily an indication anyone is coming to Washington to act on it.

During a Senate hearing on Wednesday, Melissa Smislova, acting intelligence chief of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), confirmed to lawmakers that the DHS and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had internally issued a joint intelligence bulletin about "extremists discussing March 4, and March 6."

Security has been tight around the Capitol since the January 6 riot which interrupted Congress' electoral vote count of US President Joe Biden's victory. Five people died in the attack, including a Capitol police officer.

London: An Indian-origin pharmacist in Britain has been sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment for selling hundreds of thousands of doses of addictive prescription drugs on the black market.

The court was informed that the 36-yearold sold the restricted medicines to be sold only with prescriptions at huge profit during 2016 and 2017, with the value of the pills on the black market estimated at over 1 million pounds.

Buckingham Palace to investigate after Meghan Markle accused of bullying staff

While the victims were able to escape without any major injuries, the windscreen of their car was smashed to pieces and the panelling was also severely damaged HiIndia Newsdesk A group of Sikh men in Sydney claimed that they were victims of a hate crime after the car they were travelling in was attacked last Sunday.

CCTV footage of the incident shows a group of unidentified men smashing the

car with baseball bats and hammers while the Sikh men were still seated inside.

While the victims were able to escape without any major injuries, the windscreen of their car was smashed into pieces and the panelling was also severely damaged, according to the 7news report. The attack left the owner of the vehicle with more than $10,000 in damages. The incident took place last week at Harris Park in Sydney’s West, where police say hate crimes have been on the rise off late.

HiIndia Newsdesk Ten rockets have hit a base hosting US-led coalition forces in western Iraq.

The US Department of Defense confirmed a US civilian contractor died after suffering a heart attack while sheltering. No other deaths or injuries were confirmed. Last month, a rocket attack in northern Iraq killed a Filipino contractor and injured a US service member.

The US blamed Iran-backed Shia militias and carried out retaliatory air strikes on one of their facilities in Syria.

President Joe Biden said those strikes - the first known use of military force by his administration - were meant as a warning to Iran and its proxies. But Iraq's paramilitary Popular Mobilisation force, which is dominated by Shia militias, said the US action pointed to "dangerous future developments". Pope Francis said his planned visit to Iraq on Friday would go ahead despite the latest violence.

HiIndia Newsdesk Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said his defence minister "deeply regrets" making "offensive remarks" about an alleged rape victim.

Linda Reynolds has not denied a report that she referred to her former aide Brittany Higgins as a "lying cow". Ms Higgins has alleged she was raped by one of Ms Reynolds' ex-advisers - a charge that has rocked the government. When asked if Ms Reynolds should quit, the PM said her remark had come "in her private office in a stressful week". Last month, the former political adviser alleged she had been attacked in Ms Reynolds' office at Parliament House after a night out in 2019. The man was later sacked for a separate reason.

The Australian newspaper reported Ms Reynolds had made her disparaging remark on the day Ms Higgins told her story to the media.

Tanzania nuns and priests dying 'with Covid symptoms' HiIndia Newsdesk Sixty nuns and 25 priests have died in Tanzania in the last two months after showing symptoms of coronavirus, the Catholic Church in the East African nation says. The church, which has been outspoken about coronavirus before in one of the few countries in the world not to publish its virus data, warned Tanzanians to take Covid-19 precautions more seriously.

President John Magufuli has previously played down the virus - and last month the health minister said that Tanzania had no plans to vaccinate.

But Father Charles Kitima, secretary of the Tanzania Episcopal Conference - an official assembly of Catholic bishops, said the Covid-19 threat was alive in Tanzania.

“It is upon every one of us to make sure that we take all the required precautions and

Fr Kitima said the church was not allowed to test for Covid-19 at its 500 health centres

protect ourselves and others, especially the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions,” he told a press conference in Dar es Salaam. Fr Kitima said the church

could not say whether the deaths of the clergy had been caused by coronavirus as they had not been tested, though they had all shown signs of Covid-19, including “respiratory challenges”.

“People are not tested. That’s a big challenge.

The church has about 500 health centres across the country but we are not allowed to test and we don’t have the equipment to do so,” he said. Fr Kitima said the church had noted a recent change in tone from the government as far as Covid precautions were concerned, but said that a number of people were still not observing the restrictions as no punitive measures were being taken against them. This is the second time this year that the church has spoken out about the threat of the pandemic in the country, saying in January it had noticed a spike in deaths in its parishes.

HiIndia Newsdesk Germany is extending its coronavirus shutdown by three weeks until March 28, but easing some restrictions to allow nonessential stores and other businesses to reopen in areas with relatively low infection rates.

After about nine hours of talks, Chancellor Angela Merkel and the governors of the country’s 16 states agreed Wednesday to measures aimed at balancing concern over the impact of more contagious coronavirus variants with a growing clamor for a return to a more normal life.

Canada vaccine panel recommends 4 months between COVID doses

HiIndia Newsdesk A national panel of vaccine experts in Canada recommended Wednesday that provinces extend the interval between the two doses of a COVID-19 shot to four months to quickly inoculate more people amid a shortage of doses in Canada. A number of provinces said they would do just that.

Stokes was swearing at me, Virat bhai handled that well: Mohammad Siraj

HiIndia Newsdesk India pacer Mohammad Siraj on Thursday said England all-rounder Ben Stokes swore at him on the opening day of the fourth and final Test here, an incident “handled well” by skipper Virat Kohli during an on-field showdown with the visiting player.

Kohli was seen having an animated discussion with Stokes after the allrounder allegedly swore at Siraj. Umpire Nitin Menon had to intervene for play to resume after England were reeling at 32 for three.

“He was swearing at me, so Virat bhai intervened and handled that well. These things happen at ground,” Siraj said at the post-match press conference.

Stokes, on his part, played down the incident.

“Pretty animated was that (the conversation)?…look at it from a different way, you know, two-three guys who care about what they are doing, care about representing and played against each other and you know, why would they not be competitive?” he asked.

“So we are not going to back down to anyone…for me that is what it was competitive guys trying to get over each other,” he added.

Uddhav to BJP: Chant Kejriwal administered can’t make you patriot Covid vaccine HiIndia Newsdesk Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday told the BJP that chanting “Bharat Mata ki Jai” alone did not prove its love for the country, reminding the party that it has no claim on India’s freedom struggle.

Uddhav said his party, the Shiv Sena, was not part of the freedom struggle but neither was the “parent organisation” of the BJP — a reference to the RSS. Both the Sena and the BJP were founded after Independence, but the RSS has existed since 1925.“Therefore, only chanting ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ does not prove your love for the country. You don’t have the right to chant Bharat Mata Ki Jai if you are not going to give justice to people and if you are forcing farmers to protest on the streets,” Uddhav said, speaking in the Assembly.

HiIndia Newsdesk Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who along with his parents took their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday, appealed to all eligible people to come forward and get vaccinated, asserting that there’s “nothing to fear”.

The vaccine was first administered to Kejriwal’s parents, Govind Ram Kejriwal and Gita Devi, and then to the chief minister at the governmentrun Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan hospital here. They all were given the Covishield vaccine. “I and my parents got our first dose of COVID-19 vaccine today. We had no problems and are perfectly healthy. There is nothing to fear. Doubts in people’s mind (about the vaccine) no longer exist. I appeal to everyone eligible for the vaccine to come and get themselves vaccinated,” Kejriwal told.

“Eye surgeries at this age are delicate and need precision handling. The best is being done and one hopes all shall be well. The sight and the recovery is slow and difficult so if there are typing errors they are to be excused,” he wrote.

O ve r t h e we e ke n d , Amitabh Bachchan wrote in his blog entry: “Medical condition... surgery... can’t write.” Amitabh Bachchan’s upcoming projects include Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra, co-starring Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, and Chehre, alongside Emraan Hashmi. He will also be seen in the sports drama Jhund. Before his eye surgery, the actor was busy with the shooting of MayDay, co-starring Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh.

HiIndia Newsdesk Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s planned visit to Dhaka later this month will surely be a “very memorable” one, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday, as he described India’s strategic ties with Bangladesh a truly “360 degree partnership”.

Jaishankar arrived here in the morning on a day-long visit to prepare the ground for Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Bangladesh later this month to participate in the celebrations of 50th anniversary of Bangladesh’s Independence and 50 years of Bangladesh-India diplomatic relations. “Many of you would remember his (Modi’s) last visit (here), that was something very transformational in our relationship,” he said.

Following his photo on dug up ground on Tuesday, Vaughan shared a video where he is seen analysing the same piece of land on Wednesday, ahead of the fourth Test which begins a day later. “The much anticipated pitch report for the 4th Test,” the former England skipper captioned the video.

Tejashwi Yadav Meets Mamata, Says Congress Ally Only In Bihar

The Election Commission has announced the poll schedule for four states and one Union Territory, in which West Bengal will vote in eight phases, Assam in three, and Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry together on the same day.

HiIndia Newsdesk Kolkata: Mamata Banerjee’s meeting with Tejashwi Yadav today over a possible tie-up for the West Bengal election signalled realignment in which the Congress’s ally in Bihar is set to be its rival. Tejashwi Yadav called on the Bengal Chief Minister at her office at “Nabanna” in Kolkata and the two leaders reportedly discussed seat-sharing.

“Our alliance with the Left and Congress is only in Bihar.

It is our duty to strengthen Mamata Didi’s hands here and fight the BJP,” the Bihar opposition leader told reporters after the meeting.

The 31-year-old said there were many Hindi-speaking voters in Bengal and his father Lalu Yadav had decided that his party would back Mamata Banerjee fully.

“We have always respected Didi, we have good relations.

We will stand with Mamata Ji and stand against communal forces who want to break the nation. BJP is dreaming of coming to power here but it won’t happen,” said Tejashwi Yadav, praising the Chief Minister.

“I want to appeal to people from Bihar to choose wisely.

Look at the BJP. Everyone (BJP leaders) has dropped their work and come to Bengal.”

Mamata Banerjee returned the compliment, saying Lalu Yadav was not released from jail because “they knew if Laluji was out, they would lose” the Bihar election in November.

“They cheated and won in Bihar. Tejashwi is fighting, I am fighting. See how they have set the schedule,” she said, once again lashing out at the election dates that have Bengal voting in eight rounds spread over 33 days.

Prime Minister takes the first dose of Covaxin at AIIMS

PM Modi takes the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine at AIIMS.

HiIndia Newsdesk Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday took his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at AIIMS here and appealed to all those who are eligible to get inoculated.

Nurse P Niveda, who hails from Puducherry, administered Bharat Biotech’s COVAXIN to the prime minister, sources said.

“Took my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at AIIMS. Remarkable how our doctors and scientists have worked in quick time to strengthen the global fight against COVID-19,” Modi tweeted after taking the vaccine shot.

Azad praises Modi’s frankness Amitabh Bachchan undergoes eye surgery HiIndia Newsdesk

HiIndia Newsdesk Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Sunday said he likes leaders like Prime Minister Narendra Modi who are proud of their roots and noted that Modi speaks frankly about his past as a tea-seller.

Addressing a function by Gujjar Desh Charitable Trust here, the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said a person should not try to hide his background from the world.

I, myself, had come from a village and I am proud of being a villager. I admire a lot of things about leaders like our prime minister who also says that he was from a village. He used to sell tea.

“I might have political differences with Modi but he is also frank about his past of being a chaiwala (tea-seller), Azad said. The remarks come a day after Azad and other ‘G-23’ dissident leaders, who have been pressing for a leadership change and organisational overhaul in the Congress, gathered on one stage here and said the party is weakening.

Modi had recently profusely praised Azad, who was the Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha, during the Congress MP’s farewell in the Upper House.

Stop moaning and groaning about pitch: Viv Richards HiIndia Newsdesk West Indian batting legend Viv Richards is not amused with past and present English cricketers “moaning and groaning” about the spin-friendly pitches in India and said the visitors did not prepare well for the challenge.

The newly-laid Motera track in Ahmedabad became a subject of debate after India crushed England inside two days in the third Test to go 2-1 up in the four-match series. The severe criticism came from former England captains like Michael Vaughan and a section of the British media.

All the chatter has not gone down well with Richards, whose incredible range of strokes and fearless approach to the game terrorised the best of bowlers in his prime in every corner of the cricketing world. I’ve been asked questions recently about the Test match that was played in India, the second and third Test match against England.

Amitabh Bachchan had his legion of fans worried as he revealed on Saturday night that he has undergone a surgery.

The actor didn’t reveal many details in his blog post. On Monday morning, the 78-year-old actor wrote in a lengthy post that he had undergone a ‘delicate procedure’ for his eyes. “Thank you for all the concern and the wishes for the medical condition. Eye surgeries at this age are delicate and need precision handling. The best is being done and one hopes all shall be well. The sight and the recovery is slow and difficult so if there are typing errors they are to be excused. Right now I feel like Gary Sobers, the West Indian great and his narration of a cricket story which apparently he went through. The details of which shall be given in time. It is a story heard whether or not it is authentic is questionable.”

He also revealed that another surgery will happen shortly.

“My love to all… progress is slow and there is yet another eye to go. So its a long haul, hoping of course that it all gets well in time for my schedule which begins in a few… the new film with Vikas Bahl, tentatively titled ‘GoodBye’.”

Amitabh Bachchan gave the details of his medical condition that forced him to undergo eye surgery. The actor said the recovery process is slow and he is unable to read, write or see at present.

Bengal only wants its own daughter; on May 2, hold me to my last tweet: Prashant Kishor HiIndia Newsdesk Exuding confidence that the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress will win the upcoming assembly elections in the state, poll strategist Prashant Kishor Saturday said the people of Bengal are “ready with their message and determined to show the right card”.

He had further asserted that he will quit Twitter if the saffron party does any better than what he has predicted, setting off a war of words with BJP leaders on the microblogging platform.

Test batsmen should be able to handle turn or straighter ones

Sunil Gavaskar

A day after the Motera pink-ball Test ended in a little over five sessions, with spinners taking 28 of the 30 wickets to fall, Sunil Gavaskar tells that having the right technique and temperament would have helped in negotiating the challenging pitch and conditions.

in the toy manufacturing sector. During the inauguration of the country’s first-ever toy fair, the Prime Minister said Indian toys project the ‘reuse recycle’ culture that has been a part of the Indian lifestyle and asked the manufacturers to use less plastic and more recyclable material.

“Our toys reflect reuse and recycling that has been a part of the Indian lifestyle. Most Indian toys are built out of natural and eco-friendly materials. The colours used in them are natural and safe.” “I would like to appeal to the toy manufacturers of the country to build such toys that are better both for ecology and psychology.

Can we make an effort to make minimal use of plastic in toys and use such material that can be recycled?” PM Modi added. During the virtual event, Modi interacted with several toy clusters from across the country. While speaking to Karnataka’s toy cluster Channapatna, which has been manufacturing toys for 200 years, Modi urged them to come up with innovative ideas to build toys for India’s toy industry to grow.

Comments against judges a disturbing new trend: Ravi Shankar Prasad

HiIndia Newsdesk Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Saturday expressed strong disapproval of legal activists making objectionable comments about judges who do not pass favourable

Was the Ahmedabad pitch really diabolical?

What’s your honest assessment?

It was not a pitch where the ball was misbehaving constantly. Nothing was kicking up alarmingly.

Neither was there any great invariable bounce that the ball would shoot. Here, the bounce was actually true, almost. Yes, there was spin but Test match batsmen should be able to handle the turn or the straighter ones. Challenging, but not treacherously challenging.

If you look at the dismissals, the batsmen have contributed to their own downfall. More than the pitch, it was about the mindset which did them in. Rohit Sharma’s batting in both innings showed you could score runs on this pitch.

There has been some talk that extra lacquer on the pink ball was getting the ball to skid quicker. Is there great merit to it?

That’s an oversimplification of their own problems of having read the wrong line. Whether it was the red or pink (ball), whether the ball came down quick or slower, you would still have been out LBW or bowled if you have played down the wrong line.

orders on their petitions, calling it a “disturbing new trend”. Prasad was addressing a function here organised to mark the inauguration of a new building of the Patna High Court by Chief Justice of India S A Bobde, in presence of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, among others. “We can surely criticise the reasoning of a judgment. But I foresee a new trend which I need to flag today,” Prasad said referring to “grossly unfair” comments on social media against judges by those who file PILs and feel aggrieved when the judgment is not favourable.

How much the turning balls put doubts that resulted in the dismissals from the straighter ones?

When the ball is turning occasionally, you play the line of the ball. Importantly, it’s your bat-speed that is going to be the determining factor. Also, the grip on the bat is going to be a determining factor. How you stand at the crease before the ball has left the bowler’s hand is a factor. All these little things make a difference.

We didn’t see many batsmen from both teams make the adjustments. The disappointing thing was the body language of the England batsmen.

A couple of Indians were in total contrast to that.

When Rohit Sharma comes out to bat, it’s as if he is taking his wife and daughter to the beach.

Nice and relaxed. Similarly, Virat Kohli comes out like a top cop trying to arrest someone who has done some mischief. On the other hand, England’s batsmen wer e coming out to bat looking as if they had been caught with their hands in the cookie jar. They batted as if their hands were still in the cookie jar. The exception to that was their captain Joe Root, who came out to bat as he did in 2012 when he made his debut – a fresh-faced kid keen to get a game of cricket – and that’s why he has by far been the best and was up to it while his teammates have been dismissed in the changeroom itself.

KCR to call voters and seek votes Hyderabadi baker’s cakes gaining for TRS candidates in MLC polls customised popularity This is for the first time that the CM will be speaking directly to voters over the phone, seeking votes for the TRS in the elections

In response to an open letter written by Sanjay on the ITIR on Tuesday, Rama Rao said, "His open letter showed his ignorance," adding that the ITIR has not gone ahead even in Bengaluru though the same party runs governments both at the Centre and in Karnataka.

“Apart from Hyderabad, the ITIR project was sanctioned for Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Karnataka but has not seen any development in any of these states.

Is the TRS government responsible for lack of development there too," Rama Rao said, the mocking directed the question at Sanjay.

This is for the first time that the CM will be speaking directly to voters over the phone, seeking votes for the TRS in the elections.

importance being given by the party chief to the MLC polls. In the past, the party never took the MLC elections seriously.

Rao is learnt to have directed ministers and party leaders to provide him with the phone numbers of graduate voters in six districts that are going to the polls.

The CM asked them to categorise the voters as graduates, postgraduates, private employees, government employees, women, IT employees, advocates and other professionals and provide their phone numbers accordingly.

HiIndia Newsdesk Hyderabad: It’s not very often that one could get confused between a cake and a biryani. But that’s exactly what will happen if you order a cake from Manpreet Kaur.

From pani puri and biryani cake to chole bhature and butter naan cake, the 37-yearold baker is attracting customers with her creative cakes.

Originally from Uttarakhand and settled in Hyderabad, Manpreet’s biryani cake went viral in the Hyderabad Foodies group on Instagram and Facebook recently and she was flooded with orders. “I’ve always had an artistic side to me. I was into arts and crafts from a young age. Soon, I developed a passion for baking, but I couldn’t take it up as a career due to family responsibilities,” she shares.

Though Manpreet took formal training in baking for a few years, she couldn’t start her own business as her daughter was still young. “During the lockdown, I began taking it seriously and started making customised cakes for the residents in Malaysian Township, Kukatpally, where I live.

These are different genres and so I as an actor will get to show range

Kriti Sanon

Kriti Sanon spoke about her upcoming projects and her growth as an actor over the years. Kriti recently wrapped up the first schedule of Bachchan Pandey and has almost completed the film. Talking about her character she said, “It is a very important role and the film kind of starts with me. And my character, although she is an urban Bombay girl, she is a little tomboyish. She is a very independent, strong headed girl. She kind of takes certain decisions that not every girl would take. She is gutsy. The little flavours Farhad (Samji) has given to Myra, my character, makes her stand out.”

“I have almost completed the film and I am left with just a week of work without Akshay sir in Mumbai that I will be doing in May,” she added.

Having wrapped Bachchan Pandey, the actress has already started with Bhediya in which she will be starring alongside Varun Dhawan and will start shooting for Ganapath from June.

Talking about the variety of roles coming her way, she said, “I

am glad and I am fortunate that I am getting to work on projects that I always wanted.

I like the fact as an actor these are all very different genres, the characters are different, so I as an actor will get to show range. Where Bachchan Pandey is an entertaining and very engaging script, Bhediya is a completely different genre, which is horror comedy which I have not done before. I can call it a monster comedy because of the wolf aspect.

Ganapath is a very unique slightly fictional action flick. And as you saw the teaser and motion poster, my character has more action to her also. That's going to be a first for me and who better to do it with apart from Tiger. I am so glad that after 7 years we are doing a film together in his favourite genre and that too a first for me.”

While today the actress is getting to be a part of different genres there was a time when she feared being stereotyped, “I kind of felt that I might get stereotyped with the small town characters that I was playing. But the characters were so different that it didn't matter. I think as an actor it is very boring to be repeating yourself all the same time.”

Aamir Khan shelves Mahabharat

S S Rajamouli can breathe easy. When I last spoke to him he seemed a little concerned about Aamir Khan beating him to directing a screen version of the Mahabharat.

After almost two years of rigorous research on the subject and a determination to do justice to the epic saga, Aamir has decided to shelve his plans for making Mahabharat, at least for now.

“Aamir can’t afford to devote two years of his life to make a web series (Mahabharat was planned as a web series).

He needs to quickly announce his presence in a big star-studded feature film directed by a reliable director,” says the source, adding that the decision to set aside Mahabharat was not only commercebased. “There were bound to be unsavoury controversies surrounding the project. Aamir feels now is not the right time to make the Mahabharat,” says the source. Significantly, Aamir had opted out of astronaut Rakesh Sharma’s bio-pic to concentrate on his dream project the Mahabharat. Aamir had generously passed on the Rakesh Sharma project to Shah Rukh Khan.

Amitabh Bachchan undergoes eye surgery Amitabh Bachchan had his legion of fans worried as he revealed on Saturday night that he has undergone a surgery. The actor didn’t reveal many details in his blog post. On Monday morning, the 78-year-old actor wrote in a lengthy post that he had undergone a ‘delicate procedure’ for his eyes. “Thank you for all the concern and the wishes for the medical condition. Eye surgeries at this age are delicate and need precision handling. The best is being done and one hopes all shall be well. The sight and the recovery is slow and difficult so if there are typing errors they are to be excused. Right now I feel like Gary Sobers, the West Indian great and his narration of a cricket story which apparently he went through. The details of which shall be given in time. It is a story heard whether or not it is authentic is questionable.”

He also revealed that another surgery will happen shortly.

“My love to all… progress is slow and there is yet another eye to go. So it’s a long haul, hoping of course that it all gets well in time for my schedule which begins in a few… the new film with Vikas Bahl, tentatively titled ‘GoodBye’.”

The actor said the recovery process is slow and he is unable to read, write or see at present.

Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal to release on Dusshera 2022 Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film Animal, headlined by actor Ranbir Kapoor, is scheduled to release during the Dusshera festival next year.Veteran actor Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Parineeti Chopra also round the cast of the movie. Animal marks Vanga’s second Hindi film, following the 2019 blockbuster Kabir Singh. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar”s T-Series, Pranay Reddy Vanga, Murad Khetani, and Krishan Kumar.

“Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Parineeti Chopra, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, to have a Dusshera 2022 release,” T-Series shared on its official Twitter handle. The makers had announced the film earlier this year with an audio teaser, giving a sneak peek into the world of Animal.

The dialogues of the film are being penned by writer duo Siddharth and Garima, who previously collaborated on Kabir Singh.

Govinda reveals that he had ‘We are just a call away’ : Sohail Khan written 15-16 of his own songs Extends help to Rakhi Sawant for her mother’s cancer treatment

Janani has a very positive and progressive storyline

During the episode, contestant Nihal Tauro performed to the song ‘Main Toh raste se jaa raha tha’ from the film Coolie No. 1 that was released in 1995. After the performance, Govinda said, “When I was at my peak time, 15-16 hit songs of mine were written by me. I had warned the lyricists that one day I will reveal this truth.”

Later on, Govinda also revealed that his famous Deewana Mastana dialogue was written by him. Shakti Kapoor also hopped on to the revelation bandwagon and revealed that the tone of his Raja Babu character Nandu was suggested to him by Govinda. The character is famous even today and he said that he owes it to Govinda.

Salman Khan and his family have come forward to help Rakhi Sawant after she opened up about needing financial help for her mother’s cancer treatment. Rakhi had first spoken about her mother’s cancer diagnosis and treatment a few weeks before the finale of Bigg Boss 14. On Friday, Sohail Khan shared a video message in which he said, “My dear Rakhi, just call if you or your mother need anything. I have never met you, but I know you well and I know the fact that you are a very strong person. Your mother is a strong person too. I wish her a speedy recovery. Just be the daughter you are and everything will fall into place. I will talk to her when she is feeling better.”

Chadwick Boseman’s partner gives a stirring speech after accepting award on his behalf

Supriya Pilgaonkar

Chadwick Boseman was posthumously honoured with a Golden Globe for his performance as the strong-willed trumpet player Levee in the musical period drama Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, the actor’s swansong. His wife, Simone Ledward Boseman, accepted the award on his behalf as she fought back tears.

“He (Chadwick) would thank god, he would thank his parents. He would thank his ancestors for their guidance and their sacrifices. He would thank his incredible team, on and off set. He would say something beautiful, something inspiring. Something that would amplify that voice inside all of us that tells you, you can (do it), that helps you to keep going. And I don’t have his words. And honey, you keep them coming,” the Black Panther star’s partner concluded her winning speech on a solemn note.

Acclaimed actor Supriya Pilgaonkar is all set to return to the small screens with the hard-hitting show, Janani.

What is Janani all about?

As the name suggests, Janani means mother, the one who gives birth. When the offer came to me, the title struck a chord with me, and somewhere nudged me to take the show up. Also, in today’s world, rather than just a principle one, it is actually a lead role. And such strong parts rarely come one’s way. The show will project how Savita brings a change in her life after she loses her husband, and has to travel the country to be with her sons. The journey is going to be very interesting and even I am looking forward to see how she changes herself.

As an actor, it would be really fun to portray a different graph and emotions.

Do you feel fortunate that even at this age, you are getting to play a lead role?

Absolutely, you don’t even get such author-backed supporting roles. This is why I jumped on to it so that I could create a memorable character, something I would be proud of years later. It’s not a run-of-the-mill story and that makes it really exciting for me. Given it’s a new channel, they wanted to try out something different. The trend in programming is also changing, and people are accepting newer concepts.

There is a certain expectation when you are a face of a project. Does that add pressure for you?

I am amazed, amused and extremely grateful. I sometimes cannot fathom how I get so much love.

But I have always taken all the appreciation with a pinch of salt. As an actor, I am most comfortable when I am led by a good team of writers and director. When you have a strong base, you can go on to add colours to it. I think it’s always a team effort.

“It’s okay that I’ve committed mistakes, it’s okay I am not perfect,”

Rubina Dilaik

After spending over three months in the Bigg Boss house, Rubina Dilaik was announced as the winner of Bigg Boss 14. The actress and her husband Abhinav Shukla agreed to come on the show to give their relationship a second chance and it all worked perfectly well in their favour Bigg Boss contestants are locked up in the house for months without any contact from the outside world. Yet, they have to win the hearts of the audience who are watching their actions. Rubina, clearly won their hearts by being herself on the show.

Talking about creating a connection with the audience, Rubina said, “I think as human beings we all connect at a basic level which is emotions. So, if you are true to yourself, it means you are projecting the honest version of yourself and on a very human

basic level you are able to connect with people wherein you embrace your flaws, embrace your mistakes and say it's okay to be a flawed human being. It's okay that I've committed mistakes, it's okay that I am not perfect and that is who we are.”

“We are work in progress and if we are okay to accept it I think it connects with each and every person. Because we all are connected with that one basic thing which is the emotion,” she added.

After the show, Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla have decided to give their marriage a second chance and will be renewing their vows.

A relaxed Sunday at home

Malaika Arora in comfy clothes

Malaika Arora recently took to Instagram to wish her fans a happy Sunday as the actor enjoyed a lazy day at home wearing a sports bra and sweat pants.

Athleisure is the new loungewear. Clothes that are comfy and can also be worn for the last minute errand run are the need of the hour.

Athleisure became a wardrobe must-have when the lockdown began and people started staying at home in order to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. Kareena Kapoor Khan and Malaika Arora are among the few celebrities who made loungewear a wardrobe essential.

From sweat pants to comfy kaftans, these two divas took athleisure to new heights Even though the lockdown is now over and people have somewhat started going out, athleisure is still in demand and Malaika Arora agrees with us. The actor recently shared a photo of herself lounging around in her home and enjoying a lazy Sunday. In the image, the Chaiyya-Chaiyya girl can be seen wearing a nude coloured sports bra which she teamed with a pair of matching sweatpants. Over it, she chose to wear a white jacket to complete the outfit..

Bipasha Basu soaks in Maldives sun Bipasha Basu paints the Internet multicolour with love as she enjoys an exotic getaway in the Maldives with Karan Singh Grover, shares pictures in bright pastel print swimsuit and matching shrug.

To refuel their energies amid whitesand beaches, turquoise lagoons and breathtaking reefs of the Maldives, Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover joined the bandwagon of Bollywood celebrities who keep jetting off to the island nation.

The greatest harm to Kathak’s portrayal has come from Bollywood Shovana Narayan

Padmashri Shovana Narayan’s name is synonymous with kathak. But the dance exponent has added another feather to her cap as an actor in director and writer Durba Sahay’s film Aavartan.

The film explores the tradition of guru-shishya parampara, where the doyenne plays a Kathak guru, Guru Bhawna Sarasvati.

How was the experience of acting in a sensitive, I had no hesitation in agreeing to it.

With changing times, how has the gurufilm?

It was very interesting. It becomes even more shishya parampara evolved? enjoyable when there is a good director, which I had.

Did your understanding of the nuances of expressions make the experience easier for you?

As a dancer, even though we understand abhinaya with all its nuances, yet the two mediums – stage and film – are very different from each other. While both require internalisation of emotions, the degree to which they should be externally reflected differs.

When speaking of the guru-shishya parampara, I do think we need to re-evaluate its actual meaning. Gone are the times, when the shishya would go and stay in the guru’s ashram and learn the skills and also imbibe how to conduct oneself in life. But whether there is an ashram or not, what is essential in this parampara is that not only the technical skills are imparted and perfected by the shishyas, but also the intangible aspects of the art form, its soul, understanding of what it really means as also life’s values and how to conduct oneself in life.

"The commercial cinema has always portrayed it in a debauched What was the most challenging thing manner forgetting its original about acting?

What made you say yes to As dancers, we are used to speaking through temple roots and historicity," Aavartan? while keeping our mouths closed, says Padmashri Shovana First of all, Durba ji is a good movements whereas in a film medium, an expressive voice is Narayan friend, whom I have known for important while expressions are to be conveyed years. Secondly, when she narrated the story and asked me to do the film, I found the story interesting. I found her faith in me touching; and as I know her to be artistic and

with minimal movements. In a way, the film medium, minus the speech, reminded me of the ‘abhinaya’ as done by traditional Kathaks – “minimum movements, maximum emotion”.

Dananjaya became only the 15th player and the fourth Sri Lankan to take a T20 international hat trick when he dismissed Evin Lewis (28), Gayle and Nicholas Pooran (0) with consecutive deliveries in the fourth over. He had little time to reflect on his newfound fame when it turned to notoriety: in his next over he was hit to all parts of the ground

by Pollard, who become only the second player after Yuvraj Singh to hit six sixes in an over in a T20 international and the third player to achieve the feat in all international formats. Yuvraj did so from England’s Stuart Broad in the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 and had to wait 14 years for company.

Pollard said he thought six sixes was a possibility “after the third one.”

“I just had to come out and back myself,” he said. “It was something the team needed. I didn’t see the hat trick, I only heard. But I still had to come out and do what the team required at that point in time.”

Dananjaya’s see-sawing fortunes, he was hit for a seventh consecutive six by Jason Holder in his next over and had two catches dropped from his bowling, turned the West Indies” seemingly easy chase for 132 to take a 1-0 lead in the series into a thrilling spectacle.

MS Dhoni in Chennai; CSK training camp for IPL 2021

HiIndia Newsdesk Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has landed here to take part in the team’s training camp likely to begin on March 9 in the lead-up to the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The former India captain arrived here late on Wednesday and will serve a five-day quarantine.

CSK tweeted a picture of Dhoni at the airport and wrote: “Thalai-Vaa! Smile with the Mass(k) on! Super Night! #DenComing #WhistlePodu #Yellove.”

Former India batsman Ambati Rayudu also reached Chennai on Wednesday while the Tamil Nadu players in the squad will be joining a little later.

“First #Dencoming of the summer from across the border is Manavaadu Bahubali!!! #Yellove #WhistlePodu,” CSK posted with a photo of Rayudu.

The camp is likely to get underway from March 9, CSK CEO K S Viswanathan said, adding the players who are available would take part in it.

What drinking diet does to your body and brain Artificial sweeteners are one of diet soda's main ingredients. But studies have shown that the artificial sweeteners within diet sodas can cause a series of health problems. We decided to take a look at what happens to the body when you only drink diet soda.

I

n the early 1960s, a new kind of beverage took the stage.It wasn't a new shape, or color, or flavor. No, this was diet soda. And It. Was. Awesome.

With fewer calories and less sugar, diet soda promised to be a healthier alternative to regular soda.

But like most promises in life that sound too good to be true, it probably is.

Can you tell the difference between a glass of regular and diet soda? Turns out, neither can your body. And that's where the trouble starts.

Until recently, everything we ate contained some amount of calories. When we ate something sweet, for example, the brain sent signals to our pancreas. Which started

Scientists at Northwestern University are doing a dream job—literally: they’re questioning people who are deep in dream-filled REM sleep. The crazy part?

Those dreamers are actually answering basic questions by moving their eyes back and forth.

By prompting people to lucid dream and asking questions, these scientists are proving dreams are permeable in both directions. That’s big.

We’ve known for a while that dreams can include things prompted by real life, like a monster that turns out to be a stifling pillow or an alarm clock noise that joins the dream action. But this is one of the first experiments to show that people having dreams can reach out from their dreaming state into real life.

“Individuals who are asleep and in the midst of a lucid dream (aware of the fact that they are currently dreaming) can perceive questions from an experimenter and provide answers using electrophysiological signals,” the researchers write in Current Biology.

In the study, the subjects exhibited “various capabilities” during REM sleep, the scientists say, including making “distinctive eye movements and selective facial muscle contractions” and correctly answering questions “on 29 occasions across 6 of the individuals tested.”

Polysomnography, a fancy word for sleep study, “records your brain waves, the oxygen level in your blood, heart rate and breathing, as well as eye and leg movements during the study,” according to the Mayo Clinic. In this study, the

What You Can Do While You Sleep

Sleep has classically been defined as unresponsiveness to external environmental stimuli—and that feature is still typically part of the definition today, Baird explains. “This work pushes us to think carefully— rethink, maybe—about some of those fundamental definitions about the nature of sleep itself, and what's possible in sleep.”

researchers had subjects move their eyes back and forth to count out numbers—for example, eight minus six, so they’d move their eyes back and forth two times. The scientists gave the subjects instructions while they were awake that they carried into their lucid dreams and remembered to be able to do on cue. he Northwestern study is very small, with just six people out of 36 who were able to both have lucid dreams and register correct answers to questions from inside.

But if that number reflected the larger population, it would mean over 15 percent of people might lucid dream and be able to communicate in this way.

To make sure the subjects were really, truly in REM sleep, the scientists used the full capability of their polysomnography setup to measure “sleep physiology,” like a highfalutin’ version of waving your hand in front of someone’s face. One obstacle is that REM sleep must be “stabilized,” the scientists say, because even the eye movements themselves can wake people up sometimes.

Benjamin Baird, a sleep researcher at the University of Wisconsin–Madison who wasn’t involved in this study, told Scientific American the findings “challenge our ideas about what sleep is.” SciAm has more: In addition, interactive dreaming could also be used to solve problems and promote creativity,” the researchers conclude. “The next moonshot ideas could be produced with an interactive method that can combine the creative advantages of dreaming with the logical advantages of wake.”

producing insulin, that stored the sugar molecules in our cells for energy.

So, when we drink diet soda, the sweetness tricks our body into thinking it's real sugar. But when those energy-packed calories don't arrive, the insulin has nothing to store. that drinking diet soda is associated with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a mix of conditions that includes: increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, and weight gain. Which can increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. while drinking diet soda with a meal may sound like a tasty, calorie-free alternative to plain water, a growing body of research is starting to find that this may be the WORST time to drink it. Because the fake calories in the diet soda could ultimately disrupt how many of the real calories we metabolize. Potentially leaving excess calories behind that we then store as fat.

Mediterranean diet named best diet for 2021

The gold medal for best 2021 diet went to the Mediterranean diet for the fourth year in a row, according to rankings announced Monday by U.S. News & World Report. They stress reducing or eliminating processed foods, and focus on meals full of fruits, vegetables, beans, lentils, whole grains, nuts and seeds. The diet features simple, plant-based cooking, with the majority of each meal focused on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and seeds, with a few nuts and a heavy emphasis on extra virgin olive oil.

Say goodbye to refined sugar and flour except on rare occasions. Fats other than olive oil, such as butter, are consumed rarely, if at all.

Meat can make a rare appearance, usually only to flavor a dish. Instead, meals may include eggs, dairy and poultry, but in much smaller portions than in the traditional Western diet.

Fish, however, are a staple. The quick weight loss category is for the person who needs to lose a few pounds for a special occasion, as the diets were evaluated for only a two-month period. It's not meant to be recommended as a long-term diet or lifestyle, according to U.S. News & World Report.

If you tire of eating raw fresh fruit, get creative.

Poach pears in pomegranate juice with a bit of honey, then reduce the sauce and serve over Greek yogurt. Grill pineapple or other fruits and drizzle with honey. Make a sorbet out of fruit, including avocado

Why Bill Gates Prefers Android Over iPhone

Architect Builds Mobile Home On Top Of Autorickshaw

"I actually use an Android phone," Bill Gates said.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates revived the old 'iPhone vs Android' debate when he recently revealed that he has a personal preference for Android devices. In an interview on the audio chat app Clubhouse, the billionaire said that he prefers an Android smartphone to an Apple iPhone because the former comes with some pre-installed Microsoft software.

According to Geek Wire, journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin interviewed Bill Gates on the invite-only app Clubhouse on Wednesday night. Mr Gates spoke about several topics, including cryptocurrency bitcoin, the coronavirus pandemic and why he prefers Android over Apple smartphones. Ironically, Clubhouse is only available on Apple iOS at the moment and does not support Android.

Mr Gates said that has used iPhones, but the device he is using these days is Android. "I actually use an Android phone," Bill Gates said. "Because I want to keep track of everything, I'll often play around with iPhones, but the one I carry around happens to be Android." When questioned further by Mr Sorkin, the Microsoft co-founder said that some Android devices come pre-loaded with Microsoft software. "Some of the Android manufacturers pre-install Microsoft software in a way that makes it easy for me," Mr Gates said.

"They're more flexible about how the software connects up with the operating system. So that's what I ended up getting used to. You know, a lot of my friends have iPhone, so there's no purity." In 2019, Bill Gates had said that his "greatest mistake ever" was Microsoft losing to Android as the standard platform for non-Apple devices, reports The Verge. "The greatest mistake ever is whatever mismanagement I engaged in that caused Microsoft not to be what Android is. That is, Android is the standard non-Apple phone platform. That was a natural thing for Microsoft to win," he said.

Businessman Anand Mahindra recently tweeted in praise of an architect who transformed an autorickshaw into a mobile home. The Chairman of Mahindra Group shared pics of the unique mobile home on Twitter, noting that the architect built it to demonstrate the power of small spaces but also managed to capitalise on the larger trend of post-pandemic wanderlust with his creation.

Photos shared by Mr Mahindra show a tiny house sitting on top of an autorickshaw. The house was designed by Chennai-based architect Arun Prabhu NG. According to the Twitter user who originally shared the pics on the microblogging platform, Mr Prabhu built the "Solo 1" mobile home using ₹ 1 lakh

Who Was Gangubai Kathiawadi?

Actress Alia Bhatt will next been seen in Gangubai Kathiawadi, in which she will play the titular role. Gangubai Kathiawadi is based on the life of Gangubai Kathewali, a brothel owner in Mumbai's Kamathipura area. The teaser for the Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed film dropped on Wednesday and gave viewers a glimpse into the life of the powerful woman that Alia Bhatt is all set to portray onscreen.

A controversial but formidable figure in the 1960s, Gangubai's story was documented by author and journalist Hussain Zaidi in his book Mafia Queens Of Mumbai.

In his book, Mr Zaidi describes Gangubai as a small woman - just five-feet-tall - who commanded huge respect in Kamathipura.

Gangubai was born Ganga Harjeevandas in the village of Kathiawad in Gujarat, sometime in the 1940s. When she still quite young, Ganga ran away from her home after secretly marrying her father's accountant, Ramnik Laal. The two arrived in Mumbai, where Ramnik tricked her and sold her into prostitution for ₹ 500.

Tina Ambani's Birthday Message For Mother-In-Law Kokilaben Ambani "On your birthday, we wish you health, happiness and love in abundance!" wrote Tina Ambani for mother-in-law Kokilaben Ambani Tina Ambani took to Instagram to wish her mother-in-law on her 87th birthday this morning. She hailed Kokilaben Ambani as a "source of strength and support" and an "incredible blend of tradition and modernism" in her birthday message. "You continue to guide, inspire and motivate us in all that we do," wrote Tina Ambani.

Along with the message, the former actress also shared three family photographs. The first one shows Kokilaben Ambani with her younger son, Anil Ambani, his wife Tina and their two sons - Anmol and

Anshul. The second shows Tina Ambani with her mother-in-law and the last one again features the Ambani matriarch with her younger son and daughter-in-law.

Tina Ambani, 64, went on to thank her mother-in-law for being the bedrock of the family, praising her as "a role model across generations, a source of strength and support, a incredible blend of tradition and modernism, a woman I continue to learn from, each day."

She concluded her birthday message by wishing Kokilaben Ambani "health, happiness and love in abundance."

Milind Soman, actor, fitness enthusiast and founder of Pinkathon - India's biggest women's run - has shared a post of appreciation for marathon mascot Man Kaur, who celebrated her 105th birthday yesterday. Ms Kaur, today a world champion athlete and the mascot of Pinkathon, started running when she was 93.

At the age of 105, she is still going strong and has won multiple gold medals for India.

The Prerequisite: Grow Your Beard Out For a Month (Minimum)

Before deciding what beard style you’d like, you need to grow your beard out to see what you’re working with. Thad recommends letting things grow out for at least a month: After a few weeks, you can tell what sort of beard a man will be able to grow just by looking at the density of the hair on the face and the hair texture on the face. Some guys will have really thick, full beards, and other guys will have more patchy beards like mine. The thickness of your beard growth will be a big factor in determining what beard styles are open to you.

How to Pick a Beard Style That’s Right For You

After you’ve grown your beard out for a month, then you can start thinking about beard styles.

When he’s consulting with a client on how to style his beard, Thad steers him to a style that will compliment: 1) the way his facial hair grows in, and 2) the shape of his head.

As Thad explains: “If a guy tries to grow a beard that looks good on a celebrity but wouldn’t compliment their own face and facial hair, they’re just going to look silly. You’ve got to work with what you got.”

Round Face. If you have a roundshaped face, you want to pick a beard and hairstyle that will give some length to your face. A longer beard will do just the trick. “Avoid really short beards or stubble if you have a round face,” Thad advises. “It just highlights the fact that you don’t have a chin.”

Oblong/Rectangle Face. “With a rectangle face, you’ve got to be careful with a few things because the face is longer than it is wide,” Thad says. “You want to avoid hairstyles and beard styles that make your head look longer and skinnier”

OFFBEAT If You Want a Fancy Beard, Show Your Barber a Picture of What You Want

Guide to Choosing the Right Beard Style

With the guidelines above, you’ll be able to pick a beard style that will look good on you. As with most things in life, you can never go wrong with keeping it simple.

But if you’re not satisfied with a simple beard style and want something fancy that you’ve seen on the internet, Thad recommends just showing your barber a picture of what you’re going for: Most barbers have no clue what a French Fork or Verdi is, so just show them a picture of it. And if they’re a good barber, they’ll let you know if that style would even look good on you.

There you go. How to pick the best beard style for you. Save the weird names for Red Dead Redemption, which, by the way, is a dang cool game.

The popularity of beards has waxed (the mid 19th century) and waned (the 1950s), and for the past decade or so has been on the definite upswing.

Maybe you’ve tried growing one out yourself. Maybe you did it willy nilly, deciding on your beard’s length/style as you went along. Or, perhaps you took a more intentional approach and looked up the copious advice out there on which beard type was right for you.

Criteria #1 for Selecting a Beard Style: Facial Hair Thickness

If your beard is thick, you’ve got more styling options. If your facial hair grows in nice and thick, you’re going to have multiple choices on how to style it. “When you have a thick beard, you’ll be able to pick a style that’s closely cropped to your face or grown out,” Thad said.

If your beard is patchy, keep your beard short. “If mother nature has endowed you with a patchy, sparse beard, your options are going to be limited on beard styles,” Thad said. “If you try to grow a long beard, it’s just going to look stringy and unkempt.”

Criteria #2 for Selecting a Beard Style: Consider the Shape of Your Face

After looking at whether you have patchy or full facial hair, Thad recommends looking at your face shape when determining your beard style. “The goal is to make your head look as oval as possible.”

Diamond Face. Men with a diamondshaped face have wide cheekbones but narrow jaw and brow lines. “A nice full beard can expand the skinny jawline on a diamond-shaped face,”

Square Face. The square-shaped face is a classically masculine face shape.

You want to avoid beard styles that make your face look wider. “Guys with square-shaped faces can’t go wrong with keeping their beard and hairstyle closely cropped. Think Jason Statham: buzz cut and stubble. It’s a really good look,” Thad says.
