Ravi Shastri Backs These Uncapped Stars To Challenge For India’s World Cup Squad Spots

The apex court stayed the Allahabad High Court’s order directing carbon dating by the Archaeological Survey of India and issued a notice

Agency News: New Delhi

The Supreme Court on Friday deferred the “scientific survey”, including carbon dating, of a “Shivling” said to have been found at the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi during a videographic survey last year. The apex court stayed the Allahabad High Court’s order directing carbon dating by the Archaeological Survey of India and issued a notice.

“The carbon dating is to begin on Monday,” senior advocate

Huzefa Ahmadi, appearing for the Gyanvapi mosque management committee told the court. The high court, on May 12, ordered determination of the age of the structure claimed to be a Shivling in the mosque in Varanasi using modern technology. It set aside an October 14 order of the Varanasi District Court that rejected a plea for scientific investigation, including carbon dating, of the structure found in May 2022 during a courtmandated survey.

Mohun Bagan colours to take over Eden Gardens in KKR’s final league game!

Agency News: New Delhi

India great Ravi Shastri has revealed the young batters that have impressed him during the ongoing IPL that could make a late run at being part of this year’s ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. While India already boasts of a number of strong top-order performers in the ilk of skipper Rohit Sharma, former captain Virat Kohli and the emerging Shubman Gill, Shastri believes the next crop of young batters is ready to take the next step and could replicate their form at the 50-over showcase should injuries arise to key players.

Young left-hander Yashasvi

Jaiswal has been a standout so far at the IPL with a total of 575 runs for the Rajasthan Royals with

a century and four fifties, while fellow southpaw Rinku Singh (407 runs in 13 matches, with three fifties and an average above 50) is another to have caught Shastri’s eye following his final over heroics for the Kolkata Knight Riders against Gujarat Titans early in the tournament. Shastri believes both Jaiswal and Rinku are more than capable of making the transition to international cricket in the future and was quick to nominate the pair as standout performers to host Sanjana Ganesan when speaking on the latest episode of The ICC Review. “One is (Yashasvi) Jaiswal, simply because of the way he has played this season. And for me, it is a marked improvement from what I saw from him last year, which is a very, very positive sign. It shows that there is a young guy prepared to work on his game, sort out things, get a more allround game into play and he has done that this season. Just the power with which he is re-taking shots. Just the pockets he is hitting around the ground as opposed to last year are very good.

Congress criticizes Bageshwar Baba’s upcoming Gujarat visit; BJP leader hits back

Convenor Yagnesh

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a busy global schedule over the next few days. First, the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, on May 20 where he will meet US President Joe Biden on the sidelines. Then, in between a stopover in Papua New Guinea (PNG), the island strategically located north of Australia in China’s Indo-Pacific backyard, a series of engagements in Sydney, including a bilateral with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Next month Biden will host Modi for a four-day state visit in Washington, beginning June 22, with a black-tie banquet dinner at the White House thrown in. It’s only the third state visit Biden has hosted for a foreign leader since he took office in January 2021. What lies behind the US charm offensive? India has to be careful not to be swept off its feet. Washington needs India for three reasons: China, China and China. The West’s break with China is existential. Economic ties are being loosened. Alternative supply chains are being set up. China will remain the world’s factory for some time to come. But the unravelling has begun. Beijing’s deepening support of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has added to the West’s conviction of the economic and security threat China poses to a Western world order. That threat is serious enough for Washington to forgive India for shipping Russian crude to Europe as refined fuel, including diesel, thus evading sanctions. Europe is less forgiving. This week in Brussels the European Union’s foreign policy chief Joseph Borel said that India should be penalised for avoiding sanctions in this roundabout manner. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, with Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal looking on at a press conference in Brussels soon after Borel’s comment, minced no words in calling out Europe’s double standards: “Look at EU Council regulations. Russian crude is substantially transformed in a third country and not treated as Russian anymore. I would urge you to look at Council’s Regulation 833/2014.” Jaishankar had called out Europe’s hypocrisy earlier as well: “Our trade with Russia is at a very small level — $12-13 billion, in comparison with European countries. I don’t think people should read more into it other than the legitimate expectations of any country to increase its trade. I would urge you to look at these figures. There is a website called Russia Fossil Fuel Tracker that gives you country-bycountry data of who is really importing what and I suspect that might be very, very helpful.” Washington has prosecuted the war against Russia with the same uncompromising ruthlessness that enabled it to colonise the new world, push indigenous Americans into impoverished Reservations, and use African slaves shipped across the Atlantic by European slave traders to create the world’s most powerful country. The US has wielded its hegemonic power on behalf of the West for over a century. America’s foreign and military policy from 1950 onwards was tailored to defeat the Soviet communist threat. That mission was accomplished in 1991 with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. But the West missed seeing.

Yes, Dangal (2016) was a near perfect commercial entertainer riding high on content that tugged at the heartstrings of many.

Unswervingly, she has belted out films that smells of heartland India and has brought wide acclaim to not just her own oeuvre but also redefined contemporary

US macro data, which showed that initial jobless claims fell to 242K last week and the Philly

Fed Manufacturing Index improved to -10.4 in May from -31.3 previous, also put pressure on metals. As per Kalantri, gold has support at $1944-1930 per ounce while resistance is at $1972-1984 per ounce. Silver has support at $23.35-23.20 per ounce, while resistance is at $23.72-24.90 per ounce.

Bharti Airtel CEO Says India Telecom Tariff Structure Is ‘Unfortunately Broken’

Agency News : New Delhi

The current pricing structure of India’s telecom sector is “unfortunately broken”, Bharti Airtel Ltd. CEO Gopal Vittal has said, with the hope that some sense will prevail in the industry to raise tariffs sooner rather than later. A one-sizefits-all pricing approach is not the way any consumer-facing industry works, the chief executive of India’s second largest telecom operator said in a post-ea rnings call with analysts on Wednesday. “In our case, our (recharge) plan starts at Rs 240-250, which gives you 1.5 GB/day, plus unlimited calling, plus 100 text messages. There’s very little reason for a user to actually buy a higher plan…” “Ideally, you should

have a Rs 100 plan with very little, Rs 200 gets you more, and let’s say for Rs 1,000 you get huge amounts. Now that would actually maximise the ARPU.” Vittal’s comments come at a time when average revenue per user, or ARPU, at Bharti Airtel has stagnated at Rs 193 over the past couple of quarters, despite a tariff hike at the lowest end of the data consumption bucket. In comparison, Reliance Jio’s ARPU stands at Rs 178.80 and Vodafone Idea’s is at Rs 138.

Hindi cinema. The latest to join the bandwagon –that boasts of Pataakhaa, Badhaai Do (both 2018), Photograph (2019), Pagglait and Meenakshi Sundareshwar (both 2021) – is the satire, Kathal: A Jackfruit Mystery.

Sanya owns the film, pulls you into its world and leaves you feeling exulted. A large chunk of the credit goes to its writing team - the fatherson duo of Ashok Mishra and Yashorwardhan Mishra. And Sanya deftly and effortlessly, brings their words to life.

On the surface, the premise of Kathal is as bizarre as it can get, almost bordering on frivolity. Set against the

backdrop of a small town called Moba in Uttar Pradesh, the film is pivoted around the sudden disappearance of two prized Uncle Hong jackfruits from the local MLA, Pateria’s orchard. Soon, the Moba police are tasked with the investigation to find out the jackfruit thief and leading this search is inspector Mahima Basor. One may question the intention and context of a narrative as off-the-wall as this. And yes, most of the characters are equally idiosyncratic. But it is the meaty and layered brilliance of the substance that makes Kathal so much more than what it looks like.

Agency News : Mumbai

Amitabh Bachchan has been grabbing all headlines after his picture of riding a pillion on a stranger’s bike went viral on the internet. Netizens were seen trolling the senior actor for not wearing a helmet. And today, the actor once again took to his Instagram handle and shared another picture posing next to a Mumbai Police van, jokingly suggesting that he had been ‘Arrested’. Fans were quick enough to react to his post. In the picture, Amitabh can be seen wearing a check shirt and black pants as he poses next to the Mumbai police van. He is looking sad and tense. As soon as he shared the picture, fans were

seen rushing to the comment section. One of the fans wrote, “Bhootnath ko koi arrest nahi kar sakta.” Another wrote, “Aakhir Kar Don ko Mumbai Police ne pakad Liya.” “Kis police Wale ka din kharab hogya ..Jo apko

arrest krega,” a fan commented. To note, the controversy started after Amitabh Bachchan posted a picture of him riding a pillion on a stranger’s bike. In his caption, he thanked the man for the ride and also mentioned that he reached

the location of the shoot on time. Well, a day later, Big B clarified saying, “The fact of the matter is that this is on location shoot on the street of Mumbai .. It is Sunday .. formal permission taken for shoot at a lane in Ballard Estate .. permission sought for Sunday because all offices are shut and there is no public or traffic ..One lane in the region BLOCKED off by Police permission for shoot .. the lane barely 30-40 meters .. The dress I wear is my costume for the film..” On the same day, Anushka Sharma was also seen taking a bike ride to avoid traffic and reach work on time. Netizens pointed out that neither Anushka, nor Amitabh Bachchan were wearing helmets, and tagged Mumbai Police.

Prabhas-starrer mythological drama Adipurush is all set to hit theatres worldwide next month. The expectations surrounding the film have been sky-high. Prabhas fans, a neutral audience, and even trade analysts are all awaiting the release of the film. Now, the runtime of the film has been locked. According to reports, the film is 2 hours 54 minutes long. Even though the film seems lengthy, the makers revealed that, as the film is based on a mythological backdrop and has excessive action sequences and VFX, it required that much time. Recently, the makers of the film also launched the trailer. It received a great response from the audience, and it became the first Hindi film trailer to have garnered 54 million views within 24 hours of its release. They have also officially announced that the Jai Shri Ram song will be out on May 20. Earlier, the film wasn’t able to create enough buzz. The makers also launched the teaser last year, which was severely criticised by the audience for its VFX. Many trolled the makers for spoiling the epic tale of the Ramayana. However, the makers made a comeback by making changes and presenting a better trailer for the audience. Adipurush is directed by Om Raut and has been produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Om Raut, Prasad Sutar, and Rajesh Nair.

Veteran playback singer

Anuradha Paudwal, one of the leading female voices in the film industry during 80 and the 90s. The veteran singer made her singing debut in 1973 with Amitabh Bachchan’s film Abhiman. Anuradha had become so popular that people started comparing her to legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar, who dominated the Indian music industry since the ’50s. Owing to the trend of remixing and reprising old songs, Anuradha revealed in a recent interview that Arijit Singh’s version of Aaj Phir Tum Pe had

moved her to years but not for the reasons you’ll think of. In an interview with Indian Express, the veteran singer weighed her

thoughts on iconic songs being recreated in bulk. She explained, “I do sometimes listen to my own songs, not a lot, but when I do, I

listen to devotional ones. But you know when I listen to them? When there is a remix and I am horrified and I want to cry– that is when I immediately, without fail, I put to my own songs and listen to them!

That, ‘Oh wow, well now this is such a good song.’” Quoting Arijit Singh as an example who had sung the recreated rendition of the chartbuster song Aaj Phir Tum Pe Pyaar Aaya Hai from Dayavan, Anuradha recalled that she was ‘moved to tears’ after listening to it for the first time. It was originally composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and vocalised by Paudwal and Pankaj Udhas.
