If you want to read one essay on Gandhi written by a professional historian then this should be it! Gandhi’s rise to ‘Mahatma’ was a unique event, never before any leader commanded such unflinching devotion from his ‘people’. Here’s the link jan.ucc.nau.edu/sj6/AminGand…

Imagine a man working on a project for 32 years. Something that broke his health, sent him to jail. Something he starved for, got beaten for, and yet finally accomplished 32 years on, he was a key player in one of the greatest achievements in modern history. And on 14 th August 1947, when the world was watching on the day of his triumph, where was Mahatma Gandhi? In Calcutta, staying in Hyderi Mansion, trying his very best to ensure communal harmony in the most volatile areas. Far away from the flags and the grand ceremonies and the speeches. It takes a unique man to walk away from what he worked for that long, but in his mind, that job was done, and it was now about saving as many people as people as they were uprooted and thrown asunder in that terrible partition. I know it's not fashionable to appreciate Gandhi nowadays, but I often go back to his life and works. And sincerely believe what Einstein said, that in time to come people will scarcely believe that a man such as this walked on the face of this planet.

“I just called, to say, where are you?” I nearly croon to director Nagesh Kukunoor over the phone, who tells me, “[Publicly] I just went off the radar, sometime around 2019 — no interviews, no social media… The word toxic doesn’t even do justice to what’s [happening] around us; so, I just decided to stay away.” In case you’re Gen Z; but even then, if you’re a film buff, how would you not know — Kukunoor, 58, is the OG man of desi middle-of-the-road indies. Starting with Hyderabad Blues (1998), that inspired a generation of English-speaking folk to fiddle with the camera, while he carried on with remarkably memorable work in Hindi, especially until the mid-2000s (Rockford, 3 Deewarein, Iqbal, Dor). He tells me he’s been even busier since: “What with having wrapped up six web-series, over the past seven years.” The one I called him right after watching is The Hunt: The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case, on the 90-day probe, between May-August, 1991, to nab killers of the ex-Prime Minister of India — belonging to Sri Lankan-based militant group, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). It’s dropped on Sony LIV. It’s mainly set in Tamil Nadu. It’s certainly Kukunoor’s comeback of sorts. And it’s simply stellar. But not as a breathless thriller, with breathtaking action; the kinda mood that Shoojit Sircar set for Madras Café (2013), on the same subject. Then how, exactly? Column link in bio.

was having a discussion with a friend in gurgaon. his ctc is 20 lakh. his in-hand is around 1.2 lakh per month after taxes, epf, and deductions. he doesn't splurge. no car. no kids. just a waifu. every project he visits starts at 2.5 crore. the brochures talk about infinity pools, zen gardens, italian marble, biometric lifts. if he buys this, he has to live paycheck to paycheck. no buffer. no vacations. no emergencies. he earns more than maybe 95% of india. still can’t buy a home in his city. the market is not broken. it’s working exactly as designed. for someone else.

A Carnatic Musician was Caught by a Traffic Inspector for not wearing Helmet in Kerala. As Inspector himself was a Mrindangam Artist, he made the moment for us.. Cheers 👏😀🩷❤️

I am guessing pro plan is 100K otherwise people don’t need to pay 😃 My main concern with supabase as a non developer is that I am using tools like lovable and bolt, we can leverage free tier for two projects. Then we need to jump into the paid plan which I understand starts at 25, and then if want to add another project we have to add 10 on top per month for each additional one. Many of us are in complete startup mode and when you have multiple ideas you are testing the waters on, it can become quite hefty to pay per idea on a monthly basis when it’s just us trying to launch something. Is there any plan to address this so we can launch all our projects, start paying something if needed but that all our projects will be covered? When the projects grow makes sense to start paying more. Thanks

Hear me out while I sound old as fuck. I’ve been on the road for fifteen years travelling the world. When you look at what has happened to customer service anywhere in the world, you start to realise how these devices and social media platforms basically fried an entire young generations attention span. Any travel related job is usually very focus based and tougher than sitting in an office. Check in, room service, ticketing, transport, amenities, all require focus in distracting atmospheres. There is an entire workforce out there whose ability to focus feels 50% reduced compared to a generation above them like seven years ago. Palpable difference and I think it’s because of devices in formative years. Compare early twenties to even late twenties and it’s like a parent and child, night and day. Just me?

My tribute to Shyam Benegal in today's Anandabazar Patrika ইতিহাসের প্রতি দায়বদ্ধ anandabazar.com/editorial/es…

मंथन ♥️ Farmers contributed ₹ 2 each to the making of film and credited as producers. Jointly written by Vijay Tendulkar with Verghese Curien, the man behind White Revolution. Actors stalwarts Smita Patil Girish K Naseeruddin S Amrish P A tribute to Shyam Benegal @NFAIOfficial

Mallikarjun Mansur, the illustrious Classical Singer, was born on this day. The great singer of Jaipur Atrauli Gharana made life the source of his music. Reflecting on his artistry, Shyam Benegal beautifully captured what PL Deshpande once shared during the making of a documentary on Mansurji. The day a society immersed in devotion grasps the true essence of devotion, every New Year will indeed mark a fresh beginning. On this day of remembrance, may Mallikarjun Mansur’s legacy inspire us with this profound message for the New Year. Wishing this sentiment reaches each one of you. #MallikarjunMansur #ShyamBenegal #JaipurAtrauliGharana #EveryLifeMatters #ClassicalMusic

Shyam Benegal was part of my happiest Sunday mornings as well as my window to history. I learned more about India's roots over the course of the filmmaker's sweeping adaptation of Nehru's Discovery of India for DD than I did in any of my textbooks. rediff.com/movies/special/sh…
