integrity of a woman.†View this post on Instagram A character that will stay
with me forever.
This time around I took cleaning and organising things around
my home to help me cope with switching from Laxmi to Romi Dev in ‘83.. In fact
now, the leading lady of Bollywood is switching between characters and however
difficult it is, Deepika is giving her best to slip into these two diverse
characters.It helped me de-stress and clear my mind of any chatter.

Deepika is switching between
characters and however difficult it is, she is giving her best to slip into two
diverse roles. (Photo: Instagram) Mumbai: Deepika Padukone is well-known for
adding charisma in her characters and time and again, she has treated everyone
with her commendable acting by giving us some of the most promising and strong
portrayals through her career. Helmed by Meghna Gulzar, the film is all # set to
release on 10th January 2020.
Both these characters are extremely different and
in two other dimensions as in Chhapaak she had to go in the deep life of Laxmi
while Romi is a completely different role where she had to let go the emotional
journey of Malti.. This is the first time where the couple will be seen together
on-screen since their wedding and amongst a cast of cricketers, Deepika’s
character has already piqued the excitement of the audience.
Deepika shares, "In
fact I’ve always believed that a character never really leaves your system
entirely.Also a global icon, the actress and her sartorial fashion choices at
Cannes and Met Gala were talk of the tinsel town and she pulled off all the
looks with grace and panache. View this post on Instagram & on to the next.
This story is inspired by Laxmi Aggarwal and we can’t wait to see Deepika in
this character which is highly challenging as a role.

unfavourable monthly Auto sales numbers, there were a smart recovery and a
follow up buying in most of the beaten down counters within this space.
Among the

The realm of comic books appears to be increasingly
Kamala Khan, an American-born Pakistani teenager who keeps Jersey City safe, is
the first Muslim character in the Marvel universe to headline her own comic
bookA range of ethnicities are finding expression in home-grown comics with
archetypal characters in the superhero mould, seeped in local milieus, spanning
across cities in Bihar, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru and even far-flung Mizoram.
MISS MARVEL.jpg Kamala Khan, an American-born Pakistani teenager who keeps
Jersey City safe, is the first Muslim character in the Marvel universe to
headline her own comic bookA range of ethnicities are finding expression in
home-grown comics with archetypal characters in the superhero mould, seeped in
local milieus, spanning across cities in Bihar, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru and
even far-flung Mizoram.
The realm of comic books appears to be increasingly
tilting towards representing characters from hitherto under-represented
demographics. While ethnic characters have been portrayed in international comic
books before, they have always been critiqued for being moulded as sidekicks
rather than primary characters. Perhaps in an attempt to change perceptions,
Marvel Comics created Kamala Khan, an American-born Pakistani teenager who keeps
Jersey City safe. Khan, who is best known as Ms Marvel, made her debut in
Captain Marvel in 2013 before becoming the first Muslim character in the Marvel
universe to headline her own comic book Ms Marvel in 2014. After being a fringe
character for the first few editions, she will finally be seen joining the big
leagues as part of The Avengers in volume 5 of Ms Marvel, which is coming out
later this month.
Marvel has even promised a volume 6 where Khan will be
fighting in the Avengers Civil War. While Kamala Khan is fast on her way to
becoming one of most famous comic book superheroes with a strong ethnic
identity, she is not the only one of her kind. Closer home, a range of
ethnicities is finding expression in homegrown comics. Archetypal characters in
the superhero mould, seeped in local milieus, spanning across cities in Bihar,
Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru and even far-flung Mizoram are finding place in
comic books and what’s more — most of them have a dedicated fan-following too.
In spite of their superpowers, they are endowed with enough characteristics and
idiosyncrasies that make them easy to relate to. But while that works in favour
of these characters, a big challenge the creators are faced with is to not
overdo the regional stereotype.
Meet The desi superhero squadIt’s a delightful
bunch that the creators across the board have given life to. Raj Comics
character, the iconic Doga has an archenemy called Bihari Bhai. While heroes and
funny characters abound in comic books, the villain is equally important and
here is where Doga’s archenemy Bihari Bhai steps up to the plate. "Doga kills
Bihari Bhai’s younger brother, who has a gang in Mumbai and Bihari Bhai, who
used to be a part of a gang in Bihar, comes to avenge his death. But first, he
has to rebuild his criminal empire,†explains Sanjay Gupta, studio head of Raj
Comics, who was part of the team who drew up the character.Hyderabad: A Graphic
Novel, features a typical Hyderabadi autorickshaw driver who speaks in a mix of
Dakni and Telugu and whose auto can travel through time. Jai Undurti, the
writer, is also working on an occult action graphic novel titled Necropolis that
will feature a Hyderabadi bureaucrat called Babu. It’s expected to come out this
December.
Among the sooner releases is The Bangalore Graphic Novel that is
launching later this month and features private detective Hari Majestic. He
lives in Bengaluru’s Majestic area and is seeped in the local milieu. Based on
writer Zac O’Yeah’s earlier works, Hari Majestic will be seen in the story The
Mystery of the Missing ATM, which is part of the collective. Earlier this year,
Tinkle Comics introduced readers to Mapui Kwalim, a Mizo teenager whose
superhero identity ‘Wingstar’ protects the fictional Mizo town of Aizwa.All
these characters are well endowed with both superpowers and quirks. Writer Sean
D’Mello of Mapui, says, "Mapui is India’s first reluctant superhero. To give up
every aspect of your life to become a superhero seems like a lot to ask of a
13-year-old. While she enjoys the benefits of the gadgets that her father
invents, she is conflicted about the ‘saving-the-day’ side of things. Our
readers like that she is conflicted like every other kid.â€While Mapui enjoys the
benefits of her father’s inventions, Hyderabad Graphic Novel’s time-travelling
autorickshaw driver gets kicks out of fleecing passengers in dire need of an
auto.
There is a scene where a passenger is running away from a dinosaur and
the auto guy is not ready to go unless he gets the demanded price,†says Jaideep
Undurti, writer of Hyderabad: A Graphic Novel, adding, "We just assumed that at
some point in the future, there may be time travelling autos, but the auto
driver would remain unchanged.â€Long before any of these comics came into
existence, Aabid Surti, National Award winning author and creator of popular
comic book character Bahadur, had already created his other comic character, the
interfering "uncommon man†Dabbuji, based on his father who was a Sufi priest.
"He did not act like a Sufi priest or follow any particular religion,†Surti is
quick to clarify, "I just made him wear the kind of robes which Sufi priests
generally wear. It made him eye-catching and also made it easier for me to draw
him.â€Inspiration comes from home While Surti drew inspiration from his father,
Jaideep and Zac found their muses in the day-to-day city life of Hyderabad and
Bengaluru.
I travel extensively by auto-rickshaws and I noticed certain things
about autowallas in Hyderabad, like how they talk too much and haggle a lot,â€
says Jaideep, "That is how I pictured my autowalla to be when we were creating
his character.†For Zac, the Majestic area of Bengaluru holds a special place in
his heart. "The place was stuck in my mind so strongly that wherever I went in
the world and got bored of the place — it could even be places like Los Angeles
or Shanghai — I’d think, ‘wish I were in Majestic’,†he says.For Sean and the
Wingstar team, the reasoning behind creating a Mizo teenager is steeped in both
practicality and sentiment. "For Mapui, most of her adventures happen in open
areas and forests. Geographically, the Northeast seemed like the right setting
for that kind of thing,†Sean explains, adding that he always wanted to write
about a kid superhero, so creating Mapui was a dream come true for him.
RoadblocksBihari Bhai may be having some trouble with creating an empire of
crime in Mumbai with Doga hounding his steps, but, according to Sanjay, creating
his character held no special challenges. "The character was pretty easy to draw
up. We took your typical bad guy image and merged it with the image of a Bihari
man. So he wears white kurta-pajama and carries a gamchha,†he says. Mapui, on
the other hand, was as reluctant to be brought to life on paper, as she is to be
a superhero.
I am from the South, so when told that the character is from the
Northeast, I realised I had a China transmission
system bearings Suppliers lot of research ahead of me. I did not have a
clear idea of what people from Mizoram dress like, what their hairstyles are
like or anything like that,†Vineet Nair, Mapui artist explains. "Not just that,
I also had to do research on the topography of the place. Like, there are some
fight sequences in the forest, so I looked up and found that you mainly have
bamboo forests there and that’s how it was illustrated. This was also the first
superhero comic that I am a part of, so coming up with her costume design and
superhero poses was a challenge.â€For Zac O’Yeah, creator of Hari Majestic, the
hurdles were more personal.
It is difficult to write about people who are not
like yourself,†he says. "I thought if I write a detective story set in India it
can only be a relevant book if an Indian, like my wife who is an Indian writer,
or Harsho who is an Indian cartoon artist, can read it and nod in recognition
and think that this kind of plot could only happen here. My first Mr Majestic!
novel took me four years to write.†Don’t overdo stereotypesExplaining Tinkle’s
recipe, Sean says, "When we say, a character hails from a place, we don’t say he
or she fights for the issues of only that place. We know that our readers are
spread across the country, so we can’t have every character being based out of
Mumbai because people would not connect to that. We are trying to make sure that
our characters are from all over the country. None of these characters have any
stereotypes at all, because they aren’t people who are fundamentally set there.
Every character, because of their adventures, has to travel across the country.
Also, because the places they hail from are largely fictional, there is no
stereotyping them either. Mapui, for instance, is not the face of Mizoram. She
is just someone who has Mizo friends, wears clothes typical to the region and
lives in a typical hillside home.â€Zac thinks differently though. "Stereotyping
will always be a part of all forms of art and fiction, and I think, especially
in cartoons, to make it seem typical to a particular place, it’ll become some
form of caricature. That is not necessarily bad — it gives an artistic vision of
a place,†he says. "For instance, I grew up in Sweden before I became Indian.
I
would love reading stories about Swedes and their bizarre behaviour written by
foreign visitors to the country, and it wouldn’t matter if the writer got it
slightly wrong at times,†he adds.Surti offers a straightforward solution, "In
the old Bollywood films, we would have one Madrasi character, one Muslim
character and they were all stereotypes. So, these films didn’t portray reality.
One should avoid that while creating comic book characters. They have to be real
characters — not cardboard copies of some preconceived notion.â€Zac sums it up,
saying, "The acid test is really whether one can go beyond the too obvious
stereotypes and make something that makes readers nod in recognition and think
‘this is exactly like the real thing’.†What do readers think While Dabbuji’s
fame and cult following, which includes the likes of Amitabh Bachchan and Osho,
speaks volumes about its reach, the newer characters are only beginning to

He says he now wants to graduate and build a new life
2 million Syrian refugees after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared an open
door policy at the onset of the war.Only around 260,000 Syrians stay China auto bearings factorys Suppliers
in camps near the border, with the vast majority scattered throughout the
country including big cities like Istanbul. But many families bank on young men
working outside to earn a living and many youth work as cheap labourers well
below the average wages. We are working very closely with the education ministry
to make sure this target is realised,†Philippe Duamelle, Turkey representative
for the UN Children’s Fund (Unicef), said.â€
Adding to the challenge, some 150,000
Syrian children have been born in Turkey since the start of the crisis."We
cannot survive without working outside,†said 35-year-old Azimet Tusuz,
carefully examining the prices of different brands of cooking oil at the
supermarket.On Thursday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel will lead a meeting on
the migrant crisis, Europe’s worst since World War II, of eight European states
and Turkey."We have no problem with schools,†she said.
If we cannot provide
them with minimum assistance they might be likely to move again.Maha Abdullah,
38, waiting for her 12-year-old daughter at a training centre for Syrian girls
in the city of Sanliurfa founded with EU funds, said earning a living was a
priority.But unlike hundreds of thousands of others who in 2015 crossed the
Aegean Sea in search of better lives in Europe, he has no plans to leave.
There’s nothing like your homeland,†Ahlem Hanefi, 33, said at the Osmaniye
camp.But it has long complained of being given next to no financial help to look
after them, despite spending some $8 billion itself."It is an ambitious
one.
People are dying to go to Europe, while some are dying for their homeland
in Syria.2 billion) in aid for Syrian refugees."And the other is that we have to
suppress human trafficking at the border with the help of the Turkish police,â€
he said."I have no dreams of going to Europe,†Mohammed, from the Syrian coastal
region of Latakia, said in the Osmaniye refugee camp in southern Turkey. One is
making staying in Turkey more attractive†for the Syrian refugees in the
country.
Grappling with the influx of migrants, Brussels struck a deal in
November with Ankara for Turkey to help stem the flow of migrants in return for
three billion euros ($3. We are not politicians.EU ambassador to Turkey,
Hansjorg Haber, who AFP accompanied on a visit to the Osmaniye camp, said there
would be a new focus with the injection of fresh funds under the Ankara-Brussels
deal.. Mohammed, 22, has lived in Turkey for four years since fleeing Syria,
just months after the civil war erupted that has torn his homeland apart."I
think we have to rely on two things.Mohammed, 22, has lived in Turkey for four
years since fleeing Syria, just months after the civil war erupted that has torn
his homeland apart.The European Union wants to see more cases like Mohammed —
people who find the right conditions to live in Turkey rather than travelling to
Europe, and want to return to Syria when the time is right. I don’t want to go
to Europe.
He says he now wants to graduate and build a new life in Turkey. "But
rent, electricity, water bills are the biggest problem."I will continue my
education with God’s permission and start a life here before returning to Syria
once the war is over,†added Mohammed, whose own relatives left and went to
Belgium. It’s not our job to stop migration,†WFP’s Turkey representative
Jean-Yves Lequime said.Education is one of the main challenges."Therefore,
there’s a need to scale up the services for both. Some refugees are angry with
their fellows who risked their lives to go to Europe. He said UNICEF faced a
double challenge to keep up standards in the widely-praised camps and to look
after the more than 85 per cent of the refugees living outside the camps.Turkey
is home to at least 2.â€
The World Food Programme, which has rolled out electronic
vouchers for Syrian refugees to shop at supermarkets, is hoping to utilise more
funds after the Ankara-Brussels agreement to reach out to the most vulnerable
Syrians living outside the camps.Mohammed attended Turkish language classes and
was found eligible in 2013 to attend university in the southeastern city of
Mardin.Refugees in camps have access to basic services like education and
healthcare. In September, the Turkish government promised to double the number
of Syrian refugees at school, from the current 230,000

So the challenge for batsman goes away
Pink ball will not be used in Test cricket this home season, said BCCI president
Anurag Thakur on Monday. There was no reverse swing on offer in the
recently-held tournament as the ball held its shine for longer periods and
vicious turn was also not on offer.
So the challenge for batsman goes away,â€
Thakur said. I would like to go into details in a scientific manner to take the
final call,†he said, adding, "As of now, we are not ready to implement pink
ball this season..The cricket board chief explained why more time is needed
before usinng the coloured ball.
It is too early to say anything (about the
ball). Second, how do you involve more fans who come to the ground or watch it
on TV Third, you really need to look into areas as to how (the pink ball) is
impacting Test cricket at a time when enough people are not coming to watch Test
cricket.He feels more experiments like the one in Duleep Trophy are needed
before BCCI takes the final call on introducing the pink ball in Tests which has
already been done by Australia. If you have matches like the one in Kanpur
(which lasted five days), well done.
With the red ball, you can have reverse
swing after 20-25 overs, but with pink you can’t. As far as trying it in Duleep
Trophy under lights is concerned, it was a big success."Then we don’t need to do
anything."I think we need to take a final call after keeping a few things in
mind.â€The pink ball was expected to be used in the ongoing Test series with New
Zealand but the decision was put off amid speculation that it could be done in
the upcoming home series against England and Australia. But you need to look at
the overall picture before you take a final call,†said Thakur. With this
statement, Thakur put to rest speculation on India hosting its first ever
day-night Test in the long home season comprising 13 Tests which will go up to
February-March.
What are the real reasons behind it One more factor to be
considered, he said, is the role of the pink ball or red ball in terms of seam,
shine, turn, swing and late swing."I think we need to look into many areas
before we take the final call.Sachin Tendulkar has also said that playing Tests
with pink balls was not a good idea. The home team are also scheduled to play a
one-off Test against Bangladesh. Pink ball will not be used in Test cricket this
home season, said BCCI president Anurag Thakur on Monday.Though Duleep Trophy
with the pink ball was a success, it attracted mixed response from China
wholesale slow rebound toy Supplier the current and former players. First,
how to make it more interesting (for fans) and result-oriented

from PSUs insurers and national highway toll through digital means like online
banking, credit and debit cards and e-wallets.
About 70 per cent of all

season tickets purchases from January 1, 2017 if the payment is made through
digital means.The Centre will advise public sector banks that merchants should

Mayor Snehal Ambekar visited the Britannia pumping station on Saturday
The pumping station will ensure that water accumulated in Hindmata and its
surrounding areas is discharged properly even if there are heavy rains,†she
said. To tackle this problem, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had

station on Saturday. So far, four pumping stations, Haji Ali, Irla, Love Grove
and Cleveland, out of proposed eight have been commissioned by the BMC.Every
year, Hindmata and its surrounding areas get flooded during the monsoon,
especially during high tide, which brings life to a standstill. The pumping
station will be commissioned before the monsoon. Work on the Britannia pumping
station is in the final stages and it will be operational this monsoon.According
to civic officials, the work of setting up pumps at Britannia is in the final
stage and will be completed by the end of this month. File picture of flooding
at Hindmata in Parel. The BMC has planned to construct eight pumping stations
under the project.When operational, the Britannia pumping station will bring
relief to 10 major chronic flooding spots like Hindmata, Parel, Lalbaug,
Byculla, Kalachowki, Abhyuday Nagar etc. The Mumbai Port Trust has given a
2,200-sq-metre plot on rent basis to the BMC for this pumping station for a
period of 30 years. But the pumping station at Mogra (Andheri) is still awaiting
environmental clearances. The Gazdarband pumping station work at Santa Cruz has
