Washington, Aug 25 (IANS) US President Joe Biden’s approval ratings have surpassed 40 per cent since June this year following a series of successes with his executive order on abortion rights; historic passage of the climate change; healthcare and inflation reduction bills in Congress; and his cancelling of student loans in a massive debt forgiveness programme.

Nine ammunition and storage bunkers in Deir al-Zour province were hit early on Wednesday, US military officials said. Activists said six guards were killed, while Iran denied links to the targets. President Joe Biden ordered the strikes “to defend and protect US forces” in Syria following several attacks on them blamed on Iranbacked groups. On 15 August, two drones attacked the al-Tanf Garrison, in the southern desert, and rockets landed near the Green Village base in Deir al-Zour. Neither attack caused any casualties. About US 1,000 troops are operating out of the bases, without the permission of the Syrian government, as part of the US-led global coalition against the jihadist group Islamic State (IS).

Biden, who inherited a battered legacy from his predecessor Donald Trump battling a post-Covid economy, joblessness, high inflation, threats of a recession, has bolstered his image with his recent successes with the inflation reduction act, capping drug prices for the poor, better healthcare package for the urban middle class from insurers, upholding women’s abortion rights, and doing his best to write off as much of the $1.7 trillion debt incurred by 45 million students.

“People can finally crawl out under that mountain of debt,” he said. An estimated 43 million Americans owe a combined total of $1.6tn in federal student debt. Nearly one-fifth owe less than $10,000.

US President Joe Biden will cancel up to $10,000 (£8,474) in federal student loans for millions of Americans who earn less than $125,000 each year.

Google has breached an EU court ruling by sending unsolicited advertising emails directly to the inbox of Gmail users, Austrian advocacy group noyb.eu said on Wednesday in a complaint filed with France’s data protection watchdog. The Alphabet unit, whose revenues mainly come from online advertising, should ask Gmail users for their prior consent before sending them any direct marketing emails, noyb.eu said.

The President’s new high ratings woke up Americans on Wednesday morning from their slumber as his image went up, though not fully, but in a small measure, as he decided to cancel loans of students of up to $10,000 for families with incomes below $1,50,000 in keeping with his election pledge to waive the debt before August 31.

In a statement, a Twitter spokesperson said that Zatko was fired from his role in the company in January 2022 for “ineffective leadership and poor “Whatperformance”.we’veseen so far is a false narrative about Twitter and our privacy and data security practices that is riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies and lacks important context. Mr Zatko’s allegations and opportunistic timing appear designed to capture attention and inflict harm on Twitter, its customers and its shareholders. Security and privacy have long been company-wide priorities at Twitter and will continue to be,” the company spokesperson said. How could the revelations impact Twitter’s ongoing legal actions? The revelations come as Twitter is engaged in two high-profile legal battles — one with India’s central government over some of its content blocking orders, and another with Tesla CEO Elon Musk over his attempt to pull out of his earlier $44 billion bid to buy the social media company. Last month, Twitter had moved the Karnataka High Court asking for the overturning of the government’s order to block 39 links. Twitter has argued that the blocking orders were beyond the purview of the law. Twitter has also sued Musk for wanting to terminate his deal of buying the company. Notably, in this legal action, Musk has alleged that the company’s decision to challenge MeitY’s blocking orders was a “departure from the ordinary course” and put its business in India “at risk”.

Mr Zatko’s allegations and opportunistic timing appear designed to capture attention and inflict harm on Twitter, its customers and its shareholders

“The company did not in fact disclose to users that it was believed by the executive team that the Indian government had succeeded in placing agents on the company payroll,” Pieter ‘Mudge’ Zatko, former head of safety at Twitter said in his complaint filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. He alleged that the company had “knowingly” permitted an “Indian government agent [to have] direct unsupervised access to the company’s systems and user data”.

T he Nepal government is in a fix on whether to allow the Indian Army to recruit Nepali youths under the Narendra Modi governments newly launched Agnipath scheme of short-term recruitment into the armed forces. New Delhi has apparently asked Kathmandu’s views on the matter as India’s Gorkha regiment plans to recruit Nepalis, for which tests are scheduled for August 25 in Butwal and September 1 in AccordingDharan.to Nepali media reports, the delay over giving decision has reached to the office of Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba who discussed the matter with Foreign Minister Narayan Khadka and some senior Nepal government officials.

It is unclear whether there is any link between Zatko’s claims about the company staffing a “government agent” and these employees that Twitter was mandated to hire under the IT Rules, 2021. Zatko told The Washington Post that evidence to support this claim had been shared with US intelligence.

In February last year, MeitY notified the Information Technology Rules, 2021. These rules mandated social media companies to hire key personnel — nodal officers — who would solely liaison with law enforcement agencies to assist them in investigations. The companies were also required to hire a compliance officer, who would ensure compliance with the rules, and a grievance officer, who would resolve user complaints.

The Nepal government is in a fix on whether to allow the Indian Army to recruit Nepali youths under the Narendra Modi governments newly launched Agnipath scheme of short-term recruitment into the armed forces.

In his complaint, Zatko also said that in countries where Twitter was needed to have a physical presence and fulltime employees, “the threat of harm to Twitter employees was sufficient to cause Twitter to seriously consider complying with foreign government requests that Twitter would otherwise fundamentally oppose”. He added that the Government of India, along with the governments of Russia and Nigeria, “sought, with varying success, to force Twitter to hire local FTEs (full-time employees) that could be used as leverage”. Before joining Twitter, Mudge held senior positions at Google and Stripe, and the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), where he received the highest award available to civilian, non-career employees.

A former senior Twitter executive has alleged that the Indian government “forced” Twitter to hire individuals who were “government agents”, and who got access to vast amounts of user data on the social media platform, according to a whistleblower disclosure with United States regulators.

Confusion in Nepal over recruitment in Gorkha regiments due to Agnipath scheme

Who could these alleged “government agents” possibly be?

The whistleblower claim that Twitter hired Indian Govt ‘agents’ and gave them access to its data

The allegations have come at a time when Twitter is involved in a legal battle with the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) over its content blocking orders.

It is not clear if the former head of safety who was fired by Twitter in Jan 2022 is referring to the full-time India-based employees that the company was required to hire under Indian law.

What has Twitter’s whistleblower alleged?

A Twitter spokesperson said that Zatko was fired from his role in the company in January 2022 for “ineffective leadership and poor performance”.

But there is no decision yet whether to allow India to recruit Nepali youths in Indian Army or not as 75 per cent those who get selected would have to return home after four years and that could invite huge social costs. Government officials in Kathmandu have said they were still mulling over the matter saying the Indian government did not discuss the matter with the Nepali side before launching the scheme and only informed that it has resumed the recruitment under the new scheme. The Indian Army had postponed the Gorkha recruitment due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As soon as the new scheme was launched on June 14, the Indian Army via the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu wrote to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs seeking approval for the selection and recruitment in Butwal and Dharan, and sought security support from the local administrations during the recruitment process, according to the Nepali media reports. After the government of Nepal failed to communicate to the Indian side whether it will allow the Indian Army to start the recruitment process, the latter has stopped short of making public the recruitment dates. As per the Agnipath scheme announced by the Modi government in India, it will be recruiting 46,000 “Agniveers”. Upon completing the four-year service, the “Aginveers” will return to society as a disciplined, dynamic, motivated, and skilled workforce for employment in other sectors to pursue their career in the job of their choice, as per the Indian government plan. The provision will apply to the Gorkha regiment, a dedicated force of the Indian Army that only hires Nepali nationals and Nepalispeaking people. Some sections in Nepal have raised questions about the Agnipath scheme, saying whether it will violate the Tripartite Agreement between then British, India and Nepali governments signed in 1947 that ensures the recruitment in the Indian Army and ensured equal pay and pension and other facilities on par with the Indians.

When is a company ‘over leveraged’?

Bloomberg’s report, however, noted that in Adani’s case, “CreditSights’ analysts… said they draw “comfort” from the group’s strong relationships with banks as well as the administration of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi”. Also, “the (Adani) group has a “strong track record of churning out strong and stable companies” through its flagship, Adani Enterprises Ltd., and has built a portfolio of “stable infrastructure assets tied to the healthy functioning” of the Indian Bloombergeconomy,said.

A company or business is said to be “over leveraged” if it has unsustainably high debt against its operating cash flows and equity. Such a company would find it difficult to make interest and principal repayments to its creditors, and may struggle to meet its operating expenses as well. In the latter case, the company may be forced to borrow even more just to keep going, and thus enter a vicious cycle. This situation can ultimately lead to the company going bankrupt.

The report also mentions governance risks: “Since the 6 listed Group companies are separate legal entities, the provision of inter-company loans by a performing company to its stressed sister entity would be a relatedparty transaction and raise corporate governance issues.”

C

Being over leveraged constraints companies’ growth plans. If payments are not paid in time, it may lose assets, which may be taken over by creditors, who may also launch legal proceedings to recover their money. The inability to repay existing debts puts limitations on future borrowing by the company. Also, an over leveraged company will find it extremely difficult to get in new sets of investors, all of which will add up to further diminish its financial present and future.

Just as a loan from a bank can help an individual buy a home or a car, lead to an improvement in her quality of life, and perhaps enable her to contribute better to her society in tangible and intangible ways, debt can help a company grow and expand, create more jobs and make profits, and ultimately contribute to the GDP growth of the country itself. However, it is critical for companies to manage their debt well, just as it is critical for individuals to make timely repayments of their loans. While taking on debt is sometimes a better option to raise capital than, say, issuing stock, which would dilute ownership, borrowing more than they can repay lands companies in trouble. Companies typically borrow in anticipation of future demand, and when that does not work out, they find it difficult to sustain the debt burden. This is the reason many real estate companies that took on debt in anticipation of a housing boom went bust when the apartments they planned or built did not sell. A company that is less leveraged is better placed to manage situations in which revenues fall.

Adani Group’s House of Debt

CreditSights remains “cautiously watchful” of the Adani Group’s largely debt-funded expansion appetite, the report states: the Theboard.credit report has drawn up a number of credit concerns ranging from the group’s overly-leveraged aggressive expansion to forays into new or unrelated businesses, environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks, risks emanating from competing with the likes of Reliance Industries and, last but not least, limited evidence of equity capital injections by Gautam Adani and his family.

What happens when a company is leveraged?over

The report puts the spotlight on several weighty financial concerns that besiege the Adani Group and have worried market analysts and shareholders across “In general, the group has been investing aggressively across both existing and new businesses, predominantly funded with debt, resulting in elevated leverage and solvency ratios. This has understandably caused concerns about the group as a whole, and what implications it could have on the group companies that are bond issuers. In the worst-case scenario, overly ambitious debt-funded growth plans could eventually spiral into a massive debt trap, and possibly culminate into a distressed situation or default of one or more group companies.”

Governance risks

Credit Research Firm Red-Flags

redit research firm CreditSights has redflagged the Adani Group’s over-leveraged expansion bid vis-a-vis the Reliance conglomerate. In a research note, the credit research firm raises the worst-case scenario possibility of the group’s “overly-ambitious debt-funded growth plans” eventually spiralling into a massive debt trap, and possibly culminating in a distressed situation or default of one or more group companies.

The report mentions the astronomical rise of Gautam Adani’s wealth and his recent feat of displacing Bill Gates to occupy the position of the fourth-richest man in the world. However, it cuts a sour note for Gautam Adani by adding, “this is paper wealth, and largely tied to the value of his holdings in the Adani Group’s stocks, which have risen significantly in recent years. It is difficult to gauge the family’s ability to inject their own funds in a scenario where any of the Group companies require equity injections by the promoter.”

Some foreign investors in Adani Group stocks also include certain opaque funds, such as Albula Investment Fund, Cresta Fund and APMS Investment Fund, all of which are registered at the same address in Port Louis, Mauritius. The majority of these funds’ assets under management (AUM) is in Adani Group stock and there is little clarity regarding the ultimate, beneficial owner of these funds. Though there was news last year regarding the stock regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) investigation for alleged stock price manipulation, SEBI has since cleared the Adani Group companies of any potential irregularities.

Why does a company have to take on debt?

After the Reliance and Tata groups, the Adani Group is the third largest conglomerate in India based on a total market capitalisation of over $200 billion, as of August, 2022. Founded in 1988 as a commodity trading business by businessman Gautam Adani, the Group has expanded rapidly across key industry verticals such as energy, utilities and transportation. The Group has six established listed entities, namely Adani Enterprises (AEL), Adani Green Energy (AGEL), Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), Adani Power, Adani Total Gas and Adani Transmission.

Elie Y. presidentKatzand CEO of National Retail Solutions NEWARK, NJ – Throughout history, consumers have used different payment options for shopping. Before the 1950s, cash was the primary form of payment. However, since its inception, the credit card has revolutionized how consumers shop for products. When consumers want to make a big purchase, many prefer to pay with a credit card instead of cash. However, in an effort to save money by reducing credit card processing fees, some businesses only accept cash as payment, making it inconvenient for customers who have to pay with loose cash from their wallets. Credit card payment acceptance poses inconveniences and expenses to business owners, including processing fees and Highsurcharges.credit card fees and surcharges can directly, negatively affect a company’s revenue. The average credit card processing fee ranges from 1.5% to 3.5% on each transaction. The fee ranges vary depending on which credit card company the consumer uses. For example, if the consumer uses a Visa, the range is from 1.3% to 2.4%. No matter what card the customer uses to pay, a credit card transaction fee is inevitable. The fees associated with credit card payment acceptance, plus hidden additional fees that are often detailed in very fine print within long contracts, can severely impact a retailer’s bottom line.

ALEXANDRIA, VA. – A British national was sentenced to life in prison Friday for his role in an Islamic State hostage-taking scheme. Roughly two dozen Westerners were taken captive a decade ago by a notorious group of masked captors nicknamed “The Beatles” for their British accents. El Shafee Elsheikh received his sentence Friday in an Alexandria, Virginia, courtroom. The deaths of four American hostages — journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and aid workers Peter Kassig and Kayla Mueller — figured heavily in his April convictions on the eight counts. Three of the Americans were beheaded in videos broadcast online while Mueller was raped and then killed. Surviving witnesses testified about beatings, torture and other acts of cruelty. Elsheikh was extradited along with another British national, Alexanda Kotey, on the condition that the U.S. not pursue the death penalty. Kotey received his life sentence in April. Another Islamic State figure who spent five years as a propagandist for the terror group was sentenced in July to life in prison.

VVS Laxman appointed India’s interim head coach for Asia Cup 2022

The head of the global cricketers union (FICA) warns the drain of talent from the international game to Twenty20 leagues is a bigger concern than ever and the official 2023-2027 calendar will do nothing to address the issue. Mushrooming T20 leagues have turned cricket’s labour market on its head, presenting a scenario where players can earn significantly more from these gigs than they possibly can from international cricket. “We have highlighted flight of talent away from international cricket as a critical issue for the game for a number of years, and it is now starting to impact on bigger countries, not just the smaller ones,” FICA chief executive Tom Moffat told Reuters. “Solutions to this issue require collective global thinking, collaboration, and compromise, to ensure a balanced global calendar that enables international cricket and domestic leagues to co-exist.”

The jury deliberated 4 1/2 hours before reaching the verdict on Kobe Bryant Day, which is celebrated in LA on Aug. 24 because it represents his jersey numbers — 8 and 24 — and is the day after his birthday. He would have turned 44 on Tuesday. After the verdict, Vanessa Bryant posted a photo on Instagram of herself with her husband and daughter. “All for you!” the caption read. “I love you!

India coach Rahul Dravid tests positive for Covid-19: Report

Mumbai, : (IANS) Days before India’s opening campaign in the Asia Cup T20 tournament in the UAE, the team has suffered a big blow with a report saying that head coach Rahul Dravid has tested positive for Covid-19. Dravid did not travel to Zimbabwe for the recently-concluded three-match One-day International series, which the KL Rahul-led side won 3-0. India are scheduled to open their campaign in the Asia Cup against archrivals Pakistan on August 28 and would like to avenge the 10-wicket loss against Babar Azam’s side in the ICC T20 World Cup in the UAE last year.

Team India’s ‘Kaala Chashma’ dressing room

The reason for the BCCI diktat is the Supreme Court’s pending order over the Board’s plea to abolish the cooling-off period for its office-bearers.

Tennis legend Chris Evert, in an emotional interview, talks about how her sister Jeanne, who passed away after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer saved her life. In an interview to cbsnews.com, Evert, an 18-time singles Grand Slam winner, recalls an incident at an airport which resulted in a doctor’s visit a day later. Her sister Jeanne, who was also a WTA pro, was first diagnosed with cancer. Later it was found, following tests, that Evert had a genetic mutation which meant she was at a risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Eventually, to Evert’s shock, test results showed she already had ovarian cancer. The airport story goes like this: Evert and her sister were running to catch a flight at the airport when Jeanne, athletic and fit, was struggling to keep up. Jeanne felt it was because of a lung infection. The next day she visited a doctor. “I look back and Jeanne is like walking, but huffing and puffing. And I said ‘Jeanne what is wrong’. And she said ‘I think I have a lung infection’. She made an appointment (with the doctor) and basically they found out that she was stage 4 of ovarian cancer. She lived for two more years,” Evert says.

1. How much cooking are you willing to do, and does the required cooking suit your skill level?

4. What’s the cost involved? Consider the cost of the weight-loss program itself, as well as any requirements for specific foods. For instance, a weight-loss plan that emphasizes plant foods will be less expensive than one centered around meats.

HEALTHHow to pick the best programweight-loss

8. Does the diet plan address your health problems? Say you have type 2 diabetes: Will you learn proper eating strategies to manage your condition?

Ň Set SMART goals. SMART stands for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. An example of such a goal is to try a new vegetable side dish twice a week. Ň Develop a weight-loss mindset. This involves replacing negative, selflimiting beliefs with more helpful thoughts. Research suggests that selfcompassion enhances motivation and resiliency, and it can help you adhere to a healthier diet.

According to a recent Gallop poll, 55% of people would like to lose weight, while 43% of people worry about their weight either some or all of the time. If you find yourself in this category and are considering a weight-loss program to support your goals, there are some factors to consider and pointers to increase your chances of success. Learn the top-ranked diets for weight-loss according to the U.S. News & World Report 2022 Best Diets — and how to pick the best one for you. T here’s no single best way to lose weight, but what all weight-loss plans have in common is that they produce a calorie deficit, meaning you’ll either eat fewer calories than you previously ate, or boost the number of calories you burn through exercise, or a combination of the two. Rather than focusing on the macronutrient breakdown of a plan (say, high protein or low fat), it’s better to consider a plan that matches your needs since adherence is the main driver of weight-loss success. For instance, if you dine out or travel frequently, a weight-loss program, like Jenny Craig, that emphasizes pre-packaged meals and largely limits these activities isn’t going to be the best fit. Here are 10 additional questions to ask yourself to narrow down the best diet plan for your needs:

Ň Reduce the time you spend in sedentary activities, like watching TV. Spend about an hour per da

7. Does the plan teach you how to change your behaviors? Unless a weight-loss plan addresses behavioral change, it’ll be hard to sustain any results.

Losing weight is one thing, but keeping it off is a bigger challenge. Here’s how to choose a diet plan that will work for you.

6. What type of support is built into the plan, and does the support match your personal needs? For instance, if all the support is text-based and you don’t want to be tied to your phone, this may not be the right fit for you.

9. Can the plan accommodate your dietary restrictions? If you’re a vegetarian or following a glutenfree diet, for instance, can you find enough variety among what’s offered, or will that be an additional challenge?

3. Are you looking for a weight-loss meal plan that guides you through breakfast, lunch and dinner or one that offers general advice?

Maintenance is the key to longterm success Unsurprisingly, losing weight is easier than keeping those excess pounds off. Despite the challenge, there are things you can do to improve your odds of success. Here are the factors that help.

You must understand that meditation isn’t a quick fix to all your life’s problems. It’ll take effort and time to reap the actual benefits from the practice. Initially, you’ll find it hard to keep out your thoughts and quieten your mind. However, the idea is to stop resisting your thoughts and embrace them as they come. You may notice things occurring around you, different types of sensations in the body, or possibly judging others or yourself. These are natural responses similar to breathing.

3. Be comfortable Sitting still for meditation is an issue with most beginners. Since you are not accustomed to sitting still, restlessness can arise, making it hard for you to meditate. You need to be aware of the fact that the body requires time to feel at rest and settle down. Therefore, it is important to continue with your practice, focusing on your breath for the entire time. Also another thing to consider is to maintain a comfortable position at all times to meditate successfully. While you may have seen people meditating in the lotus position, it’s not necessary that you should do the same. It would be best if you got into a position you can hold for long to continue your practice.

4. Keep your practice going Nothing comes easy in this world. Instead of looking for causes why you cannot keep up with the practice, keep an open mind and explore the difficulties with curiosity. Practising curiosity and acceptance within meditation can help you translate such feelings easily to daily life. There is no wrong or right way to meditate. You can be successful in your practice when meditating the way it best works for you. So, without hesitation keep trying various approaches until you find what works for you. As you start noticing greater peace, joy, compassion and love, you’ll know it is working.

Meditation for beginners Meditation is the subtle art of not doing anything and letting go of every effort to relax in one’s true nature, i.e. peace, joy and love. In today’s life, it is more a necessity than a luxury as it makes you stress-free, calm, healthy, happy and free from pain. So, if you’re aiming to start your meditation practice, here are some valuable tips to help you maintain your consistency and live happily and stress-free.

5. What’s the time commitment outside of cooking or planning meals? Do you have to attend weekly meetings or track your food? Is the amount of time required realistic for you?

Ň Follow the weight-loss plan. Keeping the weight off is tied to how well you adhere to the program, which includes the diet plan as well as attendance at group meetings (if offered), food tracking and so on. Ň Track what you eat and what you weigh. Numerous studies link these self-monitoring methods to maintaining weight loss.

ideal time for meditation is when you can make it work. If you try to meditate at a time that coincides with your responsibilities and schedule, you’ll end up feeling unmotivated and frustrated.

2. Find an appropriate time As a beginner, you might feel that there must be a specific time to meditate to gain its benefits. However, it’s not. The

10. How does the weight-loss plan address exercise, and are the activity recommendations doable for you? In addition to these questions, it’s also worth considering what (if anything) worked for you in the past and when and why it stopped working. Maybe you had successfully lost weight on a program but changed jobs or went through a breakup that interfered with your ability to lose weight at that time. Were there elements that you liked about the program? If so, you may want to re-enroll or find another weight-loss plan that will help you re-engage with those strategies.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 26 2022/hiindialive @hiindia /hiindiaNews 773.526.835326

2. Does the diet eliminate any food groups, and if so, is that an eating pattern you can sustain? Think beyond the first few months and imagine living and eating this way for the next few years.

1. Don’t set any expectations

• Voila! Your crisy uttapam is all ready to be devoured.

A single traumatic event is enough to disrupt our lives. This book is about allowing that disruption to yield us into woke personas and evolve into intelligentemotionallyhumans. This is a book self-sabotagingaboutbehavioursandresistingtheeffortstochange.

Digital extraordinairecreator Kusha Kapila was styled by Ayesha Amin Nigam for IIFA’s green carpet. The ITSOM gown with the chandelier shimmy tassels and the art-deco inspired design gave it a muchneeded glam update and elevated the look overall.

Food equals paradise Aren’t we all foodies at heart? It’s been proven that indulging in scrumptious meals has the ability to improve your mood. Moreover, it’s important to maintain good food habits for healthy living. Invest in your mind Your mind is your biggest investment. It’s the launching pad for your inner self and your overall life. And although there are several ways to keep your mind productive and induce it with knowledge, Masaba suggests, “Travel, and look at art as much as you can,” stating how “it is the only investment you can make for your creative brain.”

Masaba shared three pieces of “friendly advice” that she wishes she’d “learned sooner.”

BollywoodLIFESTYLE Is Increasingly Gravitating Towards Whites & Metallics & We’re Loving It

We often tend to cater to other people’s needs and have a habit of ensuring the happiness of our loved ones. But if one has to sacrifice their own emotions and mental health in the process, is there really a point in allowing this one-way Masaba’straffic?

All thanks to Alia Bhatt’s wedding trousseau, Pinterest has lost all its charm. No one’s scouring the app for inspiration anymore. Her white saree has seemingly ordained the great whites to be the new fashion bible for multiple A-listers. Safe to say, Bollywood is onto its next expedition – The Great White Phenomenon. And not only whites but also metallics and crystals. Their mélange is a pleasant concoction whether it’s saris, floor-length evening gowns, slip dresses, corsets or even a pantsuit. Ananya went along the good ol’ route of the iconic, sequin encrusted white saree with petal feather edges by Manish Malhotra. The styling was minimal with a pair of pearl drop earrings by Narayan Jewels serving as the perfect accessory. Tanya Ghavri strikes yet again. Celebrity stylist Tanya Ghavri went with this Faraz Manan set for Sara at this year’s IIFA Awards. With an old-school Nizami charm to it, the high-neck peplum flounce and the scalloped hem complemented the sharara pants effortlessly. Unexpected choice but definitely a frontrunner.

This crunchy, crispy uttapam can be made with just 1 tsp oil

These behaviours stem from “attachments that impact the ability to handle your emotional states,” as stated by Lisa Ferentz, writer of the book Letting Go of Self-Destructive Behaviors. And if gone unchecked, you may “lose the ability to show emotions and effectively communicate your needs to others, depriving you of emotional quotient (EQ),” writes Ferentz.

• Cook for five minutes on one side then flip it and cook for two to three minutes more. keep the flame on low.

• After brushing little ghee or oil, pour uttapam batter onto the pan.

• Sprinkle a pinch of salt, pepper, or red chilli powder on top.

first advice is, “You cannot make everyone happy, so don’t let them get under your skin.”

• Serve with coconut chutney and sambhar.

Backed with research, stories, and selfrealisation, this book helps you comprehend your emotions and stops them from developing into life hindrances.
