he year 2020 has been unfair to everyone, but perhaps what suffered the most is the entertainment industry. Much like how parampara, pratishtha, anushasan were the pillars of Mohabbatein, airport looks, gym looks and red-carpet events are what held the entertainment industry together. You know, when there's no film to talk about per se. We knew exactly what Malaika Arora wore to her daily workout session or if Taimur Ali Khan looked like a little Nawab on his way to playschool. All thanks to the paps. But, with the onset of the novel coronavirus pandemic and the government-imposed lockdown that followed, all this came to a screeching halt.

Joe Biden publicly Trump urges Congress to amend receives Covid vaccine 'wasteful' coronavirus aid bill

HiIndia Newsdesk US President-elect Joe Biden on Monday publicly received the COVID-19 vaccine and said he was doing this to demonstrate that people should be ready to take the vaccine when it is available. Biden received the first course of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at ChristianaCare Hospital. "I am doing this to demonstrate that people should be prepared when it's available to take the vaccine. There's nothing to worry about," he said. Today, I received the COVID-19 vaccine. To the scientists and researchers who worked tirelessly to make this possible thank you. We owe you an awful lot," Biden said in a tweet.

Alex Padilla to replace Kamala Harris in US Senate HiIndia Newsdesk Alex Padilla has been named to replace VicePresident-elect Kamala Harris in the US Senate by California Governor Gavin Newsom, filling the remainder of her term in the upper house. He is the first Latino to represent California in the house and a close ally of Mr Newsom. The son of Mexican immigrants, he became California's first Latino secretary of state in 2015. He is due to hold the Senate seat until 2022 when Ms Harris's term ends. In a statement, Mr Padilla pledged to "work each and every day to honour that trust and deliver for all Californians".

Trump pardons two convicted by Russia inquiry HiIndia Newsdesk Donald Trump has issued pardons to 15 people including two figures convicted of lying to the FBI during an inquiry into the US president's campaign. Ex-campaign aide George Papadopoulos and attorney Alex van der Zwaan are among those who received the presidential clemency. Mr Trump also pardoned four security guards involved in a 2007 massacre in Iraq and two ex-congressmen. He is expected to issue more pardons before leaving office next month. It is common for outgoing presidents to use their right to issue pardons, which wipe out convictions. George Papadopoulos and Alex van der Zwaan both served brief jail sentences.

HiIndia Newsdesk US President Trump has urged Congress to amend a bumper coronavirus stimulus bill to increase stimulus payments to $2,000 (£1,500) per American. In a video message posted on Twitter, he asked lawmakers to "remove wasteful and unnecessary items", adding that the package "really is a disgrace". "It's called the Covid relief bill, but it has almost nothing to do with Covid," he said. The $900bn bill includes one-off $600 payments to most Americans. Mr Trump, who leaves office on 20 January, had been expected to sign the sprawling legislation into law following its passage through Congress on Monday night. But in Tuesday night's message from the White House, the Republican president baulked at spending in the bill on other countries, arguing that the money should go to struggling Americans. He said: "This bill contains $85.5m for assistance to Cambodia, $134m to Burma, $1.3bn for Egypt and the Egyptian military, which will go out and buy almost exclusively Russian military equipment, $25m for democracy and gender programmes in

US sues Walmart for alleged role in opioid crisis

HiIndia Newsdesk

The US Department of Justice has accused Walmart of helping to fuel America's opioid crisis.

In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, prosecutors said the retail giant filled hundreds of thousands of questionable prescriptions, "knowingly" violating vetting rules. Walmart revealed in October that it had been threatened with such a suit. At the time, Walmart said the US was imposing "unworkable requirements that are not found in any law". Walmart, the world's largest retailer, operates more than 5,000 pharmacies at its stores across the US and for years has also acted as a drug distributor. According to the lawsuit, the company pressured staff to fill prescriptions as fast as possible and withheld information from pharmacists, collected by its compliance unit, which indicated such orders did not have valid medical purposes. Jeffrey Bossert Clark, acting assistant attorney general of the Department of Justice's civil division, said Walmart's actions "contributed to the epidemic of opioid abuse throughout the United States". Instead, for years, it did the opposite - filling thousands of invalid prescriptions at its pharmacies and failing to report suspicious orders of opioids and other drugs placed by those pharmacies." For example, when pharmacists reported problematic orders to the compliance unit, it did not share information about the prescribers more widely, according to the lawsuit. Walmart also did not respond to concerns from distribution staff that they did not have enough time to evaluate orders, it said.

Pakistan, $505m to Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama." The president questioned why the Kennedy Center, a performing arts complex in Washington DC, was set to receive $40m when it is not open, and more than $1bn has been allocated to museums and galleries in the capital. Mr Trump concluded: "Congress found plenty of money for foreign countries, lobbyists and special interests, while sending the bare minimum to the American people who need it. It wasn't their fault.

White House Covid coordinator

Deborah Birx says will retire after Biden transition HiIndia Newsdesk Dr Deborah Birx, the coordinator of the White Ho u s e c o r o n av i r u s response, said Tuesday she plans to retire but is willing to first help Pre s i d e nt - e l e c t Jo e Biden’s team with its coronavirus response as needed. “Birx, in an interview with the news site Newsy, did not give a specific timetable on her plans. I will be helpful in any role that people think I can be helpful in, and then I will retire,” Birx told the news outlet.

Joe Biden: 'Darkest days in the battle against Covid are ahead' HiIndia Newsdesk President-elect Joe Biden warned Tuesday that the coronavirus pandemic will get worse before it gets better. "Our darkest days in the battle against COVID are ahead of us, not behind us," Biden told reporters during a year-end news conference in Wilmington, Del. He said that Americans, when united, could overcome the crisis, and he called the first vaccines being administered a good thing. But he noted that distribution of the vaccines is one of the biggest operational challenges the country has ever faced. The House and Senate passed a $900 billion COVID-19 aid package late Monday after months of negotiations. Biden praised Congress for the bill, but he stressed it wasn't enough, especially considering it only would provide 10 weeks of federal unemployment benefits.

Rahul Gandhi to take two crore signatures to Kovind

invitation

HiIndia Newsdesk

The Sanyukta Kisan Morcha, the banner under which farmers are protesting against the three farm laws, is expected to take a stand on Wednesday on the government’s open invitation for talks but the farming community feels the contents of the invite have not created a conducive atmosphere. Matters have not been helped by the unabated effort by the government or those associated with it to misrepresent facts, which the farmers view as an attempt at belittling their movement. Delhi police also denied permission to hold an event to pay tribute to Chaudhary Charan Singh, a crusader for agrarian rights and former Prime Minister whose cremation site in the capital is known as Kisan Ghat.

HiIndia Newsdesk Rahul Gandhi will lead a Congress delegation to President Ram Nath Kovind on December 24 to seek his intervention in the impasse over the new farm laws as lakhs of farmers are camping on roads amid the harsh winter for 27 days. Although the President hasn’t made any intervention despite requests by an Opposition delegation a few days ago, this time Rahul will submit to Kovind signatures of over two crore people in support of the demand to scrap the three new laws. The Congress had been collecting these signatures across the country for the past two months.

China raid alert at 20 LAC points HiIndia Newsdesk The Indian Army has identified as many as 20 sensitive spots from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) which are likely to witness border incursions and transgressions by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army once the winter is over and the snow melts, sources in the security establishment said. “With the LAC becoming the new LoC, the army and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) are sending reinforcements to these 20 spots in the wake of intelligence inputs that the PLA is planning fresh incursions,” said a security official attached to the Intelligence Bureau. ndian and Chinese troops have been locked in a faceoff at multiple points in Ladakh — the Depsang Plains, the Pangong Lake and Hot Springs — since May and eight rounds of military talks have failed to break the deadlock. The PLA has altered the unmarked LAC at these friction points and is estimated to have taken over close to 1,000sqkm of India-claimed territory.

HiIndia Newsdesk THE People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration has won or is leading in 100plus seats of the total 280 in the District Development Councils (DDCs) in the first-ever elections held in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of the erstwhile state’s special status in August 2019. Even as votes are still being counted, it is clear that the Bharatiya Janata Party is emerging as the single largest party with wins and leads in 75 DDC seats. It is sweeping the Hindu-dominated districts — Jammu, Udhampur, Kathua and Samba — in the Jammu Division, leading in 49 out 56 DDC seats. In a polarised Jammu and Kashmir, Farooq Abdullah-led National Conference has emerged as the only political party to secure considerable support in both the Kashmir and Jammu divisions of the Union Territory. The results are, however, a big setback to the Centre-backed Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party led by Altaf Bukhari. The party has only won 10 seats.

Kerala CM expresses solidarity with farmers’ stir HiIndia Newsdesk Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday slammed the NDA government at the Centre alleging that they were protecting the interests of corporates and not farmers, and demanded withdrawal of the three contentious farm laws, against which farmers are protesting near Delhi. Averring that the ongoing farmers’ agitation was one of the fiercest and most iconic of such protests ever witnessed in the country, Vijayan said farmers were the food-givers of the country and so their demand should be seen as the general interest of the nation.

HiIndia Newsdesk On the birth anniversary of former prime minister Chaudhary Charan Singh, celebrated as ‘Kisan Diwas’, the government reiterated its commitment to the farmers’ welfare and expressed hope that the farmers protesting against the farm laws will soon withdraw their agitation. In a series of tweets, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said Prime Minister Narendra Modi, taking inspiration from Charan Singh, has taken numerous measures in the interest of farmers and that he will not allow any harm to come to them under any circumstances. “Some farmers have been agitating due to the farm laws. The government has been talking to them with utmost sensitivity. I hope they will soon withdraw their agitation,” he said. The senior BJP leader said that Charan Singh voiced the concerns of farmers all his life and worked for their welfare. Charan Singh is credited with shaping several farmer-friendly policies during his tenure as prime minister.

Rules To Stop Virus Variant Lead ‘New strain won’t To Chaos, Long Queues At Airports impact vaccines’

HiIndia Newsdesk Mumbai: Passengers flying into India’s biggest airports on Wednesday complained of long waits and confusion as authorities sought to impose rules to try to stop the spread of a new more transmissible variant of the coronavirus.

People arriving from Britain before the ban came into force on Wednesday were being tested, including Kamini Saraswat whose plane landed in New Delhi just before midnight.Despite pre-booking a test, her turn came nine hours after arrival and she told Reuters she was still stuck at the airport waiting for the result. “There is no clear communication,” said Ms Saraswat, 28. “There is no social distancing.” Cellphone footage taken by Ms Saraswat, shared with Reuters, showed long lines of passengers and crowds packed together around desks to get themselves tested.

Covid-19: French agree to Tesco puts buying caps ease virus travel ban on several products

HiIndia Newsdesk

France will start letting traffic from the UK back in from Wednesday after the nations reached agreement over their shared border, closed amid concerns over a new coronavirus variant. Freight drivers and some passengers,

including EU citizens, will be among those allowed to return - if they have a recent negative test for the virus. Some 2,850 lorries have been stuck in Kent since the border shut on Sunday. NHS Test and Trace staff and the military will be deployed for testing. Planes, boats and Eurostar trains will resume on Wednesday morning. Under the agreement between the two countries, admittance to France will be granted to those travelling for urgent reasons, including hauliers, French citizens, and British citizens with French residency. But in order to travel, they will need to have received a negative test result less than 72 hours before departure.

HiIndia Newsdesk Tesco has introduced purchasing limits on some products including eggs, rice, soap and toilet roll. The move is to make sure everyone has access to the products, it said in an email to customers.

Budget dispute triggers Israel’s fourth election in two years, challenge for Netanyahu

Customers are allowed to buy up to three of each item. The move comes as almost 3,000 lorries remain stranded in Kent after restrictions on travel and freight between the UK and France were introduced. The supermarket giant also encouraged customers to shop alone to ensure social distancing in stores. Tesco said it has "good stock levels" and customers should "shop as you normally would". Tesco introduced limits on some products in September in a bid to prevent a repeat of the panic-buying that led to shortages in March. France shut its UK border for 48 hours on Sunday amid fears of a new coronavirus variant.

Campaigning in Israel’s fourth parliamentary election in two years gets underway with Netanyahu facing public anger over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and while he is engaged in a corruption trial, the first against an Israeli prime minister. Israel’s longest-serving leader will also have to contend with a new rival from the right, Gideon Saar, a defector from Netanyahu’s Likud party. An opinion poll on Israel’s Kan public TV on Tuesday showed Saar drawing even with the prime minister. Netanyahu, who has denied any criminal wrongdoing, and the current defence minister, centrist politician Benny Gantz, established a unity government in May after three inconclusive elections held since April 2019.

BioNTech CEO confident Top Hong Kong activist coronavirus vaccine seeks asylum in the UK will work on UK variant HiIndia Newsdesk German pharmaceutical company BioNTech is confident that its coronavirus vaccine works against the new UK variant, but further studies are need to be completely sure, its chief executive said Tuesday. The variant, detected mainly in London and the southeast of England in recent weeks, has sparked concern worldwide because of signs that it may spread more easily. While there is no indication it causes more serious illness, numerous countries in Europe and beyond have restricted travel from the UK as a result. “We don’t know at the moment if our vaccine is also able to provide protection against this new variant,” Ugur Sahin told a news conference the day after the vaccine was approved for use in the European Union. “But scientifically, it is highly likely that the immune response by this vaccine also can deal with the new virus variants.” Sahin said that the proteins on the UK variant are 99% the same as on the prevailing strains, and therefore BioNTech has “scientific confidence” that its vaccine will be effective. “But we will know it only if the experiment is done and we will need about two weeks from now to get the data,” he said. “The likelihood that our vaccine works… is relatively high.” BioNTech’s vaccine, developed together with U.S. pharmaceutical company Pfizer, is authorized for use in more than 45 countries including Britain, the United States and the EU.

HiIndia Newsdesk A leading Hong Kong pro-democracy activist revealed on Monday that he has applied for asylum in the UK after he fled the former British colony amid a crackdown by authorities there. Nathan Law, a former lawmaker, penned an op-ed for the Guardian newspaper in which he admitted that he has applied for refugee status in Britain. The 27-year-old wrote that he want to “sound an alarm” over the threat to democracy in Hong Kong. “For a long time too many labored under the fantasy that China would be a strategic partner with the west, perhaps even one part of the democratic world,” he wrote. “The process of awakening from this illusion takes time. In the US, adopting an assertive approach to China and positioning it as one of the country’s greatest enemies is a bipartisan consensus now. This is not the case in the UK and EU; that consensus needs to be built.” Britain signed a treaty in 1982 with China governing the 1997 handover of Hong Kong in which both sides pledged that democratic norms should be protected there under the “one country, two systems” approach. Law quit Hong Kong in late June just before the territory’s pro-Beijing authorities brought in a draft security law that clamped down on basic freedoms.

US university establishes endowed Pakistan govt grants permission for construction of Hindu temple in Islamabad chair in Jain and Hindu Dharma HiIndia Newsdesk Lahore: Pakistan government on Monday granted permission for the construction of a Hindu temple in Islamabad, nearly six months after the work at the site was stopped apparently because of the pressure from the radical Islamic groups. The Capital Development Authority (CDA) issued a notification in Lahore on Monday, giving permission for the construction of the boundary wall for cremation ground for the Hindu community in sector H-9/2, Islamabad. “Permission to construct the boundary wall around cremation ground for the Hindu community in sector H-9/2, Islamabad is hereby accorded in accordance with clause 4.I.I of Islamabad Capital Territory, Building Control Regulations 2020 ensuring that height of this boundary wall shall not accord 7’-0’,” says the notification, a copy of which is available with the PTI. “It may either be a solid wall, or up to one foot it shall consist of solid masonry and remaining portion may be of light material such as fence etc. The height of the enclosure shall not be less than 3’-0’ in any case,” it says. Earlier, some hardline clerics had warned the government not to allow the construction of the temple in Islamabad. The CDA in July stopped construction of the boundary wall on the plot meant for the temple, citing legal reasons. Religious Affairs Minister Pir Noorul Haq Qadri had forwarded the matter to the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) - Pakistan’s state-run council of clerics - for its advice along with a summary for grant of Rs 100 million to the prime minister for construction of the building.

According to The Mirror, this house is situated on Ellidaey, a remote island south of Iceland. This small island is part of Vestmannaeyjar, an archipelago of 15 to 18 islands. Today, the island is deserted, but it was once inhabited by five families. The last of these families left in the 1930s and the island has been uninhabited since then. Rumours, questions and theories have swirled around this white house on the remote island for a long time now. One such rumour claims that it was built by an eccentric billionaire who planned to use it in case of a zombie apocalypse, reports The Sun.

India's 10 Most Controversial Political Developments

773.526.8353 MIDWEST / EASTCOAST

"Love Jihad" Law

In India, the pandemic, protests and political faceoffs, dominated the news space.

India-China Clash Along LAC In Ladakh In September 2020, both the houses of parliament passed the farm bills amid protests by the opposition parties and a longtime ally of the ruling party. Opposition legislators raised slogans, tore documents and tried to grab the speaker's microphone in the upper house of parliament before bills were passed by a voice vote. While the government said the law will make it easier for the farmers to sell their produce directly to big buyers, the Opposition slashed the bills and called them "anti-farmer" and "procorporate". On September 24, the controversial bills got the President's assent and they became laws. And with it, the political face-off too intensified. While the Opposition continued to attack the government, and urged to repeal the "black" law, the government accused the Opposition of "misdirecting" the farmers.

Delhi Riots:

20 Indian soldiers were killed in action, and 76 injured, after a clash with Chinese troops that started late in the night on June 15. The violence, the first to claim lives since four Indian soldiers were killed in Arunachal Pradesh in 1975, led to a rapid escalation of tension between the two countries. There were casualties on the Chinese side as well, but the numbers have not been declared by Beijing.

Ram Temple Foundation Ceremony Amid Pandemic

he anti-religious conversion law, which came into force in the form of an ordinance on November 28, is seen as giving legal teeth to the BJP's battle against so-called 'love jihad', the unproven conspiracy theory that Hindu women are being falsely enticed and converted by Muslim men. When Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's government okayed the ordinance, proposing a maximum punishment of 10 years for "love jihad" related offences, it triggered a political row. While BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis said incidents of "Love Jihad" were taking place in the country and therefore, laws to curb the practice were justified, the Opposition accused the governing BJP of pursuing "communal agenda". BSP President Mayawati too asked UP government to reconsider its new anti-religious conversion ordinance. "The new ordinance introduced in haste by the UP government against love jihad is riddled with doubts since religious conversion through compulsion or fraud has found no acceptability or respectability anywhere in the country," The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief said in a Hindi tweet.

Migrant Crisis: Protesters for and against the controversial citizenship law clashed in Delhi killing 53 people and injuring over 200. The violence came mere hours before United States President Donald Trump was expected in Delhi. Protesters threw stones, set vehicles and shops ablaze and transformed parts of the national capital into a war zone, forcing the deployment of security personnel to ban large gatherings in affected areas respond with lathicharge and tear gas shelling. Within a few days of the unfortunate incident, the political blame game too kicked in.

Actor Kangana Ranaut Vs Maharashtra State:

On August 5, coincidentally the first anniversary of the revocation of special status granted to Jammu and Kashmir, PM Modi laid the foundation stone for the construction of a Ram Mandir. Calling it a day that marked the freedom of Ramjanmabhoomi from the chain of "destruction and resurrection", PM Modi said that it is an emotional moment for India. However, the event faced severe criticism from the opposition parties. NCP chief and former Union minister Sharad Pawar hit out at the groundbreaking ceremony for being scheduled in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. Hyderabad MP and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi questioned PM Modi's invitation as the chief guest for the ceremony. He said it is a violation of PM's constitutional oath and goes against the secular fabric of the country.

Migrant workers faced multiple hardships because of the coronavirus-induced lockdown across the nation. The major Opposition parties questioned the Centre's "poor" handling of the pandemic and sought compensation for the migrant workers who died during the lockdown. To repair its image dented by the allegations, the ruling BJP soon took various measures to help migrants and later arranged transport for them. Speaking on the crisis of lakhs of migrants forced to walk to their states after losing their homes and jobs in the coronavirus lockdown, Mr Gandhi said: "He says he bows before mazdoors (labourers) but when they really need him, he does nothing. You kept walking, thirsty and hungry, for thousands of kms, but Modi-ji did not give you trains. The (government) said you die, I don't care."

Late Night Cremation Of Hathras Rape Victim

Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut's statement on Mumbai police created a political divide. Ms Ranaut locked horns with Maharashtra's ruling Shiv Sena and its party leaders after she expressed her distrust in the Mumbai Police in view of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death. The actor also compared Mumbai with Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). While the Congress, Shiv Sena and other parties slammed the actor for her remarks and asked her not to return to Mumbai, BJP and one of its ally backed the film star. The verbal tussle became dramatic with Centre approving Y+ security cover for the 33-year-old actor and Shiv Sena-led Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) demolition parts of her Mumbai office.

In September, the politics over the alleged gang-rape by four upper-caste men escalated when UP Police "unceremoniously" cremated the victim of the Hathras rape case around 3 am without the consent of the family. Furthermore, UP police, which comes under the state government, didn't let media or opposition party leaders meet the victim's family. However, after a dramatic episode, Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi met the family of the victim in their second attempt. While the BJP said the Congress doesn't care about the welfare of the people and has a "political agenda" in everything it does, the Congress accused the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh of being insensitive in dealing with the incident and the protests that followed.

Ace Bollywood actor Rishi Kap o or p ass e d away in Mumbai at the age of 67 on April 30 following a two-year-long battle with leukemia. The actor returned to India in September 2019 after reportedly undergoing treatment in the US for almost a year. In February, 2020 Rishi Kapoor was hospitalised twice due to his health issues. Wajid Khan, of composer duo Sajid-Wajid, died at the age of 42 on June 1. The news was confirmed by singer Sonu Nigam, who wrote in a social media post, “My brother Wajid left us.” Wajid's family in an official statement had said cardiac arrest was the cause of his death.

T

he year 2020 has been unfair to everyone, but perhaps what suffered the most is the entertainment industry. Much like how parampara, pratishtha, anushasan were the pillars of Mohabbatein, airport looks, gym looks and red-carpet events are what held the entertainment industry together. You know, when there's no film to talk about per se. We knew exactly what Malaika Arora wore to her daily workout session or if Taimur Ali Khan looked like a little Nawab on his way to playschool. All thanks to the paps. But, with the onset of the novel coronavirus pandemic and the government-imposed lockdown that followed, all this came to a screeching halt.

THE OTT INVASION

2020 took the sheen off Bollywood. Celebs were stripped of their stardom for they were just as home-quarantined as we were. They were in their PJs, just like us. Heck, they were even doing house chores - cooking, cleaning, sweeping - like us. And no, there's nothing glamorous about that. Sure, their houses were plushier, and their PJs branded, but it still came down to jhaadu, pochha, bartan. And we had had enough of that, no need to catch a glimpse on Instagram.

It was not until September that Bollywood again got back into our collective consciousness. And it was all because a name like Deepika Padukone's was dragged into a Bollywood drug racket. A nexus that was being investigated as part of the Sushant Singh Rajput death probe, unearthed several names - apart from Deepika, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh had also been named. As each of them were summoned by the NCB,

Most of us found escape into the world of OTT, watching new and old shows and movies. But even that, as a platform, doesn't feed the celebrity culture. When we were not cowering under an existential fear, we were discovering actors in the likes of Jaideep Ahlawat and Swastika Mukherjee.

SUSHANT SINGH RAJPUT SUICIDE, AND MORE

2020 wasn't going all that well, and back to back news of our beloved celebrities passing away weren't helping either. But nothing beats the shock we all collectively felt on June 14, Sunday, when news of Sushant Singh Rajput dying by suicide trickled in. There were parallels being drawn with Disha Salian's death, that happened five days before that of SSR's.

NOTHING GLAMOROUS ABOUT JHAADU, POCHHA, BARTAN THE BOLLYWOOD DRUG CASE HAPPENED

Amitabh Bachchan put up his COVID-19 diagnosis in July and it became the most-liked tweet of the year, according to the social media platform. He also requested people who had been in close proximity to him to get themselves tested, spreading awareness about the virus and shared measures to be taken in case of exposure.

MOVIE: The late Rajput’s last movie, ‘Dil Bechara’, became the most tweeted about movie as people took to Twitter to express their love and appreciation for the actor, his last on-screen performance as well as his contribution to the film industry.

WEB SERIES: ‘Mirzapur2’, the eagerly awaited s e c on d s e a s on starring Pankaj Tripathi (pictured), received a grand welcome, with fans celebrating the show on Twitter through reviews, appreciation, dialogues and of course memes.

BABY NEWS: Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli confirmed they were about to have a baby – and of course Twitter went wild. Their announcement, which went something like: , "And then, we were three! Arriving Jan 2021" alongside a photo the visibly pregnant Sharma became the most liked tweet

It is difficult for Sushant Singh Rajput's fans and admirers to come in terms with his death. On June 14, the actor was found dead at his Bandra apartment. He was 34. The actor had become a household name with the television show Pavitra Rishta before entering Bollywood. His performance as Manav Deshmukh had touched millions of hearts. Sushant then made his debut on the big screen in 2013 with the film Kai Po Che. It was the beginning of his amazing and eventful career. He earned praise for his performance in MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Shuddh Desi Romance, and Chhichhore, among others. His demise has sparked a debate on social media about the alleged nepotism and favouritism in Bollywood and several celebrities and politicians demanding a CBI enquiry into his death Three-time National Award winner, veteran Bollywood choreographer, Saroj Khan, passed away due to cardiac arrest on July 3. She was 71. Khan, who was fondly called as masterji, was admitted to Mumbai’s Guru Nanak Hospital on June 17 after suffering from a kidney condition and was on regular dialysis support. Veteran Hindi film comedian Jagdeep, who enthralled millions of Indians through his inimitable portrayal of a variety of characters in his eventful career spanning over decades, passed away on July 9. He was 81. Contemporary dancer and choreographer, who combined his training in both classical dances of Kathak and Kathakali, passed away in Mumbai on December 10 after a brief illness. He was 73.

Top 10 Bollywood films of the year ‘Thappad’: What’s in a slap? ‘Thappad’, a searing rel at ionship drama, explores the murky topic with a deft hand. The intimate film explores the dynamics between a doting wife and her husband when they hit a rough patch and their awkward attempts to reconcile. Director Anubhav Sinha brings the best out of actress Taapsee Pannu, who shoulders this film with studied ease and grace ‘Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl’: Starring Janhvi Kapoor in the titular role, this is a stirring biopic about the triumphs and trials of Gunjan Saxena — India’s first female combat pilot who emerged a trooper in the Kargil War after battling stereotypes and gender biases at her workplace. ‘Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare’: If you are in the mood for a fun film with a pair of fierce ladies, then hit up director Alankrita Srivastava’s comedy. Just like the title, the women and their antics are a handful. Konkona Sen Sharma and Bhumi Pednekar play cousins who are refreshingly unsentimental and unapologetic about their desires and revel in making bewildering life choices. ‘Jawaani Jaaneman’: Be sure to put a ring on this relationship comedy about a whacky dysfunctional family. Actor Saif Ali Khan excels in his role as a reluctant dad in ‘Jawaani Jaaneman’, but the real find in this film was the spunky star Alaya F, the daughter of Pooja Bedi who makes her acting debut with this fun, family adventure. ‘Chhapaak’: Director M e g h n a G u l z a r ’s ‘C h hap aa k’ — a haunting tale of acid attack survivor Malti played brilliantly by Bollywood A-lister Deepika Padukone — operates at a visceral and an intellectual level. The drama dwells into the hate crime that’s bestial and senseless on many levels. Even though the subject is grim, Padukone and Vikrant Massey keep the tone hopeful. It explores how a man and his sister use a corrosive acid as a weapon of control and subjugation. ‘Ludo’: This witty starstudded film is a strong contender for this year’s most audacious work. With its multiple storylines, mad-hatter characters and eccentric personalities, ‘Ludo’ has enough twists and turns to keep us all entertained. The movie featuring Aditya Roy Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanya Malhotra, Fatima Sana Sheikh and the wonderfully versatile Pankaj Tripathi is a zany caper that hits the right notes. Director Anurag Basu — known for his maverick films — is on a roll here. While it’s a tad lengthy, the jokes land and the crazy situations weirdly make sense.

‘ K a m y a a b’ : T h i s touching film is a nod to all those ‘extras’ in a movie set that are forgotten and remain on the sidelines for most of their careers. They are always in the shadows of a superstar, but these actors who do miniscule and insignificant roles in films are battling for their place in the sun. ‘Angrezi Medium’: This isn’t a flawless daughter-dad drama, but it’s late actor Irrfan Khan’s final film before h e s u c c u mb e d t o cancer and it’s only fair that it features on this list. Khan plays a doting dad from a small Indian town who goes to bizarre lengths to enrol his daughter into a university in London. His incredible acting and his faulty English makes you forget the bloated narrative of the film, directed by Homi Adjania. Like us, the director too seemed to be smitten by his lead actor and turns indulgent mid-way. But it’s a pleasure to watch Khan in his element as a sprightly sweetshop owner Champak Gasiteram from Udaipur. His selfabsorbed daughter Tarika, played achingly well by Radhika Madan, is also a spot-on. Watch this as an ode to an amazing actor who can light up the screen at any point. ‘Bulbbul’: This supernatural thriller set in 19th century Bengal is a fine example of an enchanting union between Indian folklore, mythology and fantasy. ‘Bulbbul’ draws you into the world of a child bride who’s married to a much older man (Rahul Bose) and how her life is upended within the walls of a palatial manor. The film — fuelled by good performances and sumptuous cinematography — is the cinematic equivalent of your grandmother telling you scary folk tales in your childhood steeped in myth and legend. This film is superbly crafted and has a fierce, feisty leading lady. We were hooked from the word go. ‘Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari’: This comedy, starring the talented trio Manoj Bajpayee, Fat i m a S a n a Sheikh and Diljith Dosanjh, takes a swipe at the tradition of arranged marriages in India and a family’s obsession with hunting for a ‘cultured’ and ‘refined’ bride for their eligible sons. My all-time favourite joke: “Do you know how tough it’s to find an uneducated daughter-in-law and wife these days?” remarks the movie’s matriarch played efficiently by Seema Pahwa. It’s comedy that makes you laugh at some of the archaic customs that some traditional Indians have embraced. But what makes this comedy tick is the engaging and endearing performances of the cast. Bajpayee as the wicked wedding detective/ wrecker — who is a master of disguises and is on call to find out dirt about potential suitors in an arranged marriage set-up is a hoot, while Dosanjh is adorable as a good-hearted Punjabi.

Feel safe when I work with my father: Varun

/hiindiaNews

773.526.8353 MIDWEST / EASTCOAST

Coolie No 1 song Mirchi Lagi Toh

As he steps into Govinda's shoes for Coolie No 1, Varun Dhawan says director David Dhawan is the best bet for comedy. "Dad is the king of comedy. He has tackled the genre for three decades, and has found success in each decade. When you are working with such an accomplished director who knows the genre and its details so well, you know [you're in good hands]. I feel safe when I work with my father," says the actor, eager for a hit. The father-son duo have an enviable track record so far,

having delivered hits in Main Tera Hero (2014) and Judwaa 2 (2017). The actor, however, concedes that the bar has been set high by Govinda, who led the 1995 original. As he steps into the shoes of one of the finest comic actors of Bollywood, Varun says, "Many people are inspired by him. It is unfortunate that the media gives Govinda credit only for comedy; he is unbelievable in emotional scenes as well. Now that Coolie No 1 is set to release, people are remembering how Govinda used to spin magic on screen. I never forgot that. I am one of his biggest admirers." "Nowadays, one needs to be sensitive while making jokes. But if you see stand-up comics, they are still telling the jokes they want to. Eventually, it's a joke and is not supposed to be taken seriously. People need to learn to laugh at themselves.

Varun Dhawan tries hard to make it work

"Mirchi Lagi Toh", the recreated version of Govinda and Karisma Kapoor's iconic track "Main Toh Raste Se Ja Raha Tha", has been crooned by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik. Every 90s kid has enjoyed watching the iconic jodi of Govinda and Karisma Kapoor dancing on Coolie No 1 song “Main Toh Raste Se Ja Raha Tha.” Now in 2020, the same song has been recreated, and it features Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan. The recreated version titled “Mirchi Lagi Toh” has been crooned by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik. While Varun Dhawan aces the dance steps, Sara Ali Khan fails to make an impression. After watching the new track, you’d sure want to revisit the Govind-Karisma Kapoor number.

'Aaj kal har actor bolta hai ki Antim The Final Truth teaser main talented hoon' - Nawazuddin Siddiqui

Nawazuddin Siddiqui will be next seen in Shamas Nawab Siddiqui's Bole Chudiyan, which also stars Tamannaah Bhatia in a lead role.

T

he journey of Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Bollywood has been an inspiring one as he established his own target audience by delivering some impeccable performances in films like Gangs Of Wasseypur, The Lunchbox, Thackeray, Manto and many others. Though the actor recently said that 'talent' has become a vague word and nowadays every actor says that he is talented as he told E Times, "Well, talent is a different thing, what I was confident about was my craft and hard work. I believe that talent is a vague word. Aaj kal har actor bolta hai ki main talented hoon. You might be talented, par ek picture mein khapat ho jayegi talent. Aage kya? For that, you need training, education, skill and experience. Talent ke basis pe ek picture kar sakte ho, but to consistently do good work, you have to work on your craft. Talent mein bhi badlaav aata hai, but if you keep working hard on your craft, you can polish your skill and talent. There is no such theory that an actor is talented for life, it is an ongoing process." he actor revealed that he didn't came to Mumbai to work in films and added, "I didn’t come to Mumbai to act in films, I knew that I didn’t have the personality for that. In fact, I tried television, but didn’t get any roles. While auditioning, the cameraman would say, ‘ Tere ko shoot karne mein time lagta hai. Extra light lagaani padti hai face pe’. I would say, ‘ Kya kare yaar, yehi face leke aaya hoon (laughs!)’. Hum toh majboori mein films mein aaye. Jab TV ke darwaze bandh ho gaye, cinema ke taraf bhaage, kahin na kahin toh bhaagna tha, na? When the doors would open even slightly for movies, I would grab whatever I could get, even ek-do minutes ke roles; I was happy with that. Hamein problem hoti thi jab bhook lagti thi. I would think bhook lagti hai toh khana milna chahiye, that was the only thing that I was worried about."

Salman Khan and Aayush Sharma lock horns The first teaser of Salman Khan and Aayush Sharma-starrer Antim: The Final Truth is out. Directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, Antim is a ‘two-hero’ film that will see relatives Salman and Aayush locking horns. Going by the teaser, Aayush has undergone a massive physical transformation for his role in Antim. According to reports, Salman plays a Sikh policeman in the film. Aayush Sharma took to Instagram to share the teaser and wrote, “Mehnat khoon paseena maangati hai par badle mein bahut kuch de jaati Hai..Antim ke safar ki shubh shuruaat.”

his official blog. "(It) is the remembrance of the departure of Ma... Maa ji... she left us... the most beautiful Mother in the world... they all are, the most beautiful... that is why they are Ma," he added. "Her memory, her presence, her blessing... with us tonight for the tomorrow and the many tomorrows that shall follow," he added.

I do it for my own Five television shows that failed to make a mark in 2020 amusement Ranveer Singh's fashion choices have been a subject of discussion, trolling and inspiration. The actor spoke at length as to how he was always into the 'atrangi' mode and loved making bold statements early on in his life. When asked about what he feels like to have changed the norm of fashion for men in the entertainment industry, Ranveer Singh told Bombay Times, "Honestly, I didn’t set out thinking I would change the fashion landscape. It just so happened that when I started becoming more authentic in my choices with regards to staying true to my personal style, is when it apparently became a ‘cultural moment for Indian fashion.’ So, here was a mainstream Hindi film hero who is making perceivably risky and bold choices, donning ‘eccentric’ and ‘experimental’ ensembles, which was totally unprecedented. As much as people think it was by design, it really wasn’t. It just happened. "After two or three years in show business, I was growing tired of being inauthentic to myself.

Netflix’s Indian titles that found takers around the world

With the digital medium churning out impressive content, the audience is now spoilt for choice. And hence, they take no time to reject television shows. In 2020, a lot of serials were taken off the air within just a few months. Beyhadh 2 Given the shock value of seeing Jennifer Winget in a negative avatar, Beyhadh (2016) became an overnight success. Wanting to make use of its popularity, the makers launched its second season in December 2019. Apart from Winget, the show also starred Shivin Narang and Ashish Chowdhry. However, the audience outright rejected the revenge drama, given that it had a similar storyline. With nothing new to offer, the series was abruptly wrapped up in March.

Gangs of Filmistaan Featuring a stellar star cast with names like Sunil Grover, Shilpa Shinde, Sugandha Mishra, Upasana Singh among others, there was a lot of expectations from Gangs of Filmistaan. The one-of-a-kind series was touted to be the perfect mix of fiction and non-fiction genre. However, a controversy in the initial days with Shinde blaming makers for exploiting actors led to a negative buzz. Also, the show being aired on Star Bharat, which has a relatively lesser viewership, didn’t help its cause.

Gunjan Saxena, Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives and more Raat Akeli Hai The directorial debut of casting director Honey Trehan is a pulpy thriller starring the likes of Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Radhika Apte, Shivani Raghuvanshi, Nishant Dahiya and Shweta Tripathi Sharma. Its well-written screenplay and powerful performances were praised by critics and the general public alike.

Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl

Based on the true story of one of the first Indian female air force pilots, the Netflix film grabbed many eyeballs. Helmed by Sharan Sharma and bankrolled by Karan Johar, Gunjan Saxena featured Janhvi Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Angad Bedi, Manav Vij among others in pivotal roles.

Dil Jaise Dhadke…Dhadakne Do

Set in 20th century Bengal, Bulbbul is an inventive drama about sexuality and power that garnered appreciation from all quarters. Co-produced by Anushka Sharma, the Anvita Dutt Guptan directorial starred Tripti Dimri, Paoli Dam, Avinash Tiwary, Rahul Bose and Parambrata Chatterjee.

Mahesh Bhatt made a big comeback on television, backing the ambitious project Dil Jaise Dhadke… Dhadakne Do. Initially titled Jannat, the show focused on a man, who has given up worldly affairs, and promotes a young child as the return of a goddess on earth. The show only aired 38 episodes, and was brought to a halt due to the pandemic-induced lockdown. Soon, Star Plus announced that it would be cancelling the show as it had failed to garner good ratings.

Guilty

Dil Yeh Ziddi Hai

Bulbbul

Directed by Ruchi Narain and produced by Karan Johar, Kiara Advani-starrer Guilty received mixed reviews. The film’s main plot revolved around a bunch of college students and what happens when one of them accuses the college heartthrob of sexual assault.

The Zee TV show revolved around a young girl who is losing her eyesight because of a disease. However, she fights all odds to make her dreams come true, including a fairytale romance. A not too impressive star cast with average performance led to the show’s early exit. Even before it could complete 100 episodes, it was pulled off the air.

Dadi Amma… Dadi Amma Maan Jaao

This reality TV show by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic Entertainment captured the imagination of many people. Cheeky, loud and sufficiently dramatic, Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives saw Maheep Kapoor, Seema Khan, Neelam Kothari and Bhavana Pandey in action.

Dadi Amma… Dadi Amma Maan Jaao brought veteran actors Seema Biswas and Mohan Joshi together on screen for the first time. The Rajshri Productions’ drama wanted to bring to the fore the relationship between millennial kids and their grandparents. While the serial had good intent, given the times of fastpaced shows, there was hardly any buzz about it. After shoots were brought to a halt due to lockdown, the channel announced that it would not bring back the daily owing to its low ratings.

Never thought I would see another 42 or less from India: Gundappa Viswanath HiIndia Newsdesk

I was in the team when we were all out for 42 against England at Lord’s. But I would never say that 36 laid the ghost of that to rest. I can never be happy. I never thought I would see India getting all out for 42 or less again in my lifetime. It doesn’t feel good. But they have to just leave this behind and pull up their socks. Everything combines when a team gets out for such a low score. All the bowlers will bowl very well, top-order batsmen will get some very good deliveries, and there will not be much resistance from the lower order. In Adelaide, the pitch became a little quicker on the third day. The Australian bowlers bowled really well, and consistently. The same thing happened at Lord’s. Whenever the batsmen were beaten, the ball took the edge. Compared to Lord’s, where it was cloudy and the ball swung, the Adelaide Oval pitch had a little more bounce but not much lateral or seam movement. All the bowlers kept the batsmen under pressure. Cheteshwar) Pujara got one of the best

deliveries one could get. He had to play it. Mayank (Agarwal) also. The ball lifted and left him. (Ajinkya) Rahane played from the crease. (Virat) Kohli went after a widish delivery; maybe he was trying to score some quick runs to ease the pressure. The Indian team have played enough cricket to get this out of their system. There are players in this team who have played 60-70 Tests and even without Kohli, this team has the ability to bounce back. Rahane has captained India before, some years back, and guided the team to victory. However, some changes become imperative. (Shubman) Gill has to come in place of (Prithvi) Shaw. No two ways about it. (KL) Rahul will come in place of Kohli. I don’t know how bad is (Mohammed) Shami’s injury. Hopefully, he will recover. Rohit (Sharma) is there, but he will be available only for the last two Tests.

Mouni Roy’s latest outfit cues for New Year’s Eve

/hiindiaNews

My Life in Design Gauri Khan

W

ith the celebratory season back– we are all kind of running out of cues for what to wear for the coming New Year’s Eve. If you are facing the same issues, your search ends her. Because Mouni Roy’s latest fashionable outing has given us enough inspiration to make a smashing entry for the last day of 2020.

G

Don’t depend on him for your happiness: Neena Gupta

auri Khan announced her debut book, My Life in Design. Now, stylist Ami Patel shared what seems snippets from the book or even the cover, and it is evident that she designed Khan. In the first instance, Khan looked regal in a red dress from the label Roland Mouret. The look was accessorised with a thick bracelet on one hand and completed with hair parted at the centre. Announcing her book, Khan — owner of the famous interior design company Gauri Khan Designs (GKD) — had said: “There are several experiences in my journey as a designer that I would like to record for posterity. The book will be very visually appealing with exclusive pictures and information that I feel could guide aspiring designers or those who are just generally interested in the art of design. The lockdown has given me time to work on this coffee-table book and I will be extremely happy to see it published soon.”

Whey Chocolate Mousse End your day with this healthy recipe

N

eena Gupta, 61, who got married to Vivek Mehra in 2008, shared why despite the differences, one needs to keep improving and evolving in a relationship. “We fight, we don’t get along on so many things. Also, I got married very late around 48 years. So, what I realised after a few years of marriage is that you don’t depend on him for your happiness. You do your thing. At least, he is not stopping me from doing my thing,” she revealed. According to the actor, the best part about being married is “companionship, support, somebody to lean on”. “Pressures are always there. Under pressure,

you tend to make more mistakes. You have to be sensible and wise. That’s the sign of you being healthy. You have to decide… I want to make this relationship work. Not give up on people. Otherwise, it is easy to give up,” said Gupta. On being prodded about her relationships, Gupta revealed how she was once slutshamed. “A boyfriend of mine, when we were fighting, said very nasty things to me, you are still on the shelf. I will never forget that. Nobody is waiting to be picked up,” she remarked. In the past, Gupta has been vocal about abusive relationships and the need to speak up against them.

China to inoculate frontline workers first with Covid-19 vaccines

China will begin its Covid-19 inoculation programme by first vaccinating some key priority groups, including those involved in medical treatment and disease control, within the winter-spring period, before starting a mass roll out, the National Health Commission (NHC) said on Saturday. The vaccination programme will also cover those who plan to work or study in counties and regions with medium or high risks of exposure to the virus, Cui Gang, an official with NHC’s disease control department, told reporters.

Covaxin’s phase 1 trial result shows robust immune response

Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech on Wednesday released the results of the Phase 1 trials of its coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccine ‘Covaxin’ - which produced a robust immune response against the disease and showed that the majority of the adverse events were mild and got resolved. The vaccine is being stored between 2-8 degrees Celsius and further efficacy trials are underway. The results of the first phase of Covaxin- which Bharat Biotech is developing in collaboration with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) comes a day after the Drugs Controller General of India (DGCI) had said that it was examining the application submitted by the company seeking emergency use authorisation of its vaccine.

n possibly the best news since dark chocolate was deemed a health food, findings from a new study published last month in the Journal of Alzheimer’s disease suggest that wine and cheese may protect you from age-related memory problems. Before you uncork the Cabernet and whip up a cheese board, here’s what you need to know about how these and other foods influence your memory. The latest study involved a pool of nearly 2,000 adults ranging from 46 to 77 years old who were tracked for 10 years. At baseline and twice during the study, they were given fluid intelligence tests that measure the ability to think on the spot and problem-solve effectively, capabilities that are impaired when you have dementia. Researchers found that red wine and cheese, when consumed responsibly, both seemed to be protective against deteriorating memory and other thinking skills. The study also found that eating lamb once a week offered some benefit. (Other red meats did not.) On the other hand, the study revealed that eating too much salt, which mainly comes from heavily processed foods, fast foods and other restaurant meals,

Wine and Cheese may help keep your mind sharp Red wine and cheese, when consumed responsibly, both seemed to be protective against deteriorating memory and other thinking skills. may lead to poorer cognitive performance as you age if you’re already at risk for Alzheimer’s disease.

There is a right way to drink wine

The individuals we observed benefitting from up to a bottle a day were probably drinking

very modestly throughout the day and always with food,” Willette pointed out that having alcohol with a meal is important because food helps the wine (and other boozy beverages) stay in your stomach longer, which allows the alcohol to be absorbed more slowly. The large number of deaths and hurt lives each year caused by drinking alcohol the 'wrong way,’ Other studies have linked a daily glass of wine, in addition to a healthy eating pattern, to memory and other brain function improvements.

Cheese may have protective compounds Though the mechanisms for cheese’s protective role remains unclear, other research has suggested that cheese is associated with lower rates of cognitive decline and better cognitive performance. One theory is that certain bioactive compounds in cheese lower damaging inflammation in the brain. Dairy foods are also a staple of the DASH diet, which stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. High blood pressure has been linked with memory deficits and other mental impairments, so cheese might play its part by reducing the risk of this condition.

The Community News

Gov. Andrew Cuomo Conduct UK-NY Flight Passengers Coronavirus Screenings

HI INDIA NEWS DESK NEW YORK, NY- Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged three airlines that fly between UK and JFK Airport to voluntarily start screening passengers for COVID-19 amid the development of a new, highly-contagious virus strain.

The discovery of the UK strain prompted 120 countries — but not the U.S. — to institute bans and other restrictions on British travel. Cuomo on Monday repeated his past call for federal authorities to enact a UK travel ban or, at least, require travelers from Britain to pass COVID-19 tests. He said New York officials like himself are limited in what they can do, so he appealed directly to British Airways, Delta and Virgin Atlantic and asked for them to voluntarily add the state to the list of 120 countries requiring tests. New York isn’t a country, he acknowledged. “But as governor of New York State I have asked them to do that,” he said. “We do have a public health emergency in existence in New York State. The British Airways, I have spoken to myself and they have voluntarily agreed to add New York to the 120 countries that will do pre-boarding testing.”

British Airways will begin those tests on Tuesday, Cuomo said. He later said Delta officials agreed to do so as well. The three airlines combined bring in thousands of passengers a day from the UK to JFK Airport. Cuomo said it could turn into the landing point for a true second wave of coronavirus infections. The “second wave” in the 1918 influenza pandemic was a similarly-mutated strain of that virus, he said. He said he requested Virgin to voluntarily agree “If they do not agree voluntarily then New York State will pursue other options,” he said. “But I would not be doing my job as governor of New York if I sat here and let the federal incompetence create another emergency and disaster that cost the lives of New Yorkers. “I am only a governor but I will do anything I can and whatever I can to protect the people of the state of New York. That is my job. And I know and I believe my intuition is correct that this is another disaster waiting to happen.”

Indian American Maintenance Mechanic Killed in O’Hare Airport Accident HI INDIA NEWS DESK CHICAGO, IL – An Indian American man has been killed in an accident involving airport equipment in Chicago, according to news reports. Jijo George, 35, whose family is from Kerala, was crushed to death by the equipment Dec. 13 in a hangar at the Chicago O’Hare Airport, where he worked as a maintenance mechanic. According to police he was found “unresponsive” under an equipment used to move airplanes on the ground, and taken to a hospital. George died at the hospital and a post-mortem report by the local

Jijo George medical examiner ruled the death an accident.

He worked for Envoy Air and the publication quoted its spokesperson Minnette Velez-Contly as saying, “Currently, the situation is under investigation by our safety organization.” “We are providing support to the family and our employees to help them through this loss,” she added. On behalf of the Indian American community, a fundraiser has been set up for George’s family on GoFundMe, an internet crowd-funding site.Nisha Eric and Gladson Varghese, who organized the fundraiser. They said that the wife of 36-year-old George was expecting a second child.

Coronavirus Vaccine Recipient Suffers ‘Serious’ Reaction in New York HI INDIA NEWS DESK NEW YORK, NY — A New York City health care worker suffered a “significant allergic reaction” after receiving a coronavirus vaccine, officials said.The worker received treatment is in stable condition, city health officials announced Wednesday. It’s the first reported “serious adverse event” out of about 30,000 coronavirus vaccine recipients, they said. “Vaccines do have side effects and allergic reactions – while uncommon – are known to occur,” a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene statement read. “We also know that based on clinical trials and reports of adverse effects in other jurisdictions, reactions such as these are rare but have been reported with the Pfizer vaccine.”

Coronavirus Rapid Tests Are ‘Far Less Sensitive’: UW Study HI INDIA NEWS DESK SEATTLE, WA — Coronavirus antigen tests can be useful at detecting certain infections, but are about 100 times less sensitive than traditional lab methods, according to new research from UW Medicine. In August, the Food and Drug

Administration granted an emergency use authorization for the BinaxNOW rapid test designed by Abbott Laboratories. Unlike PCR tests, which must be processed in a lab, the antigen tests typically return results within 15 minutes. The federal government bought 150 million of the test kits and shipped them across the country, including millions sent to Washington. While authorized use only includes people within seven days of developing symptoms, UW Medicine said some organizations, like sports

teams and nursing homes, have utilized the tests “off label.” Researchers found using the rapid tests as a screening measure for asymptomatic people was much less effective than detecting illness in those with recent symptoms, when patients are most likely to shed large amounts of the virus.“The Abbott test works surprisingly well, but it will likely miss cases from whom live virus would be detected by other methods,” said Dr. Alex Greninger, the senior author of the study. To contrast the two tests, UW

researchers compared antigen results with PCR lab results, finding the rapid tests to be far less sensitive and require a much higher level of virus present to successfully detect infection in 95 percent of cases. “Although affordable, rapid testing is critical for reducing transmission in this pandemic, it’s important to understand how these tests perform and use them appropriately,” Greninger said. “There simply aren’t enough of these tests yet to enable widespread, repeated screening of the general population.
