India to mark NRI festival as part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations

New Delhi, May 27 Non-profit Rejoice Health Foundation will be holding a series of events as part of an NRI festival to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of independence of India and the glorious history of its people, culture, and achievements,

The six-month-long festival, to be celebrated between July and December, will be held in Delhi-NCR and in different states. It will have a special emphasis on the 32 million large Indian diaspora population living outside India as they have also been instrumental in bringing India this far in its evolutionary journey.

It will also ensure the participation of diaspora youth and talent across various activities which include classical dance, popular Indian team sports, and yoga.

“Through the NRI festival, we want to not only reinforce in the minds of all Indians living outside, the achievements we have made while we celebrate 75 glorious years of Independence, but also showcase our rich culture and tradition which has played a role in getting India on the international map, be it in the field of Yoga, Classical Dance, Music or Sports,” Dr Naval Verma, Chairman of Rejoice Health Foundation told IANS.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is about the awakening of the nation and of global peace and development, and an elixir of atmanirbharta. Addressing the Indian community in Tokyo, recently, he also urged everyone to join and take forward the campaign of ‘Bharat Chalo, Bharat se Judho’.

India’s Covid vaccination program has been one of the most successful and largest vaccination programs compared with the many developed western nations that have significantly lower populations, and the country is now open to welcoming tourists with ease and comfort.

The Indian diaspora had extended its support amid a brutal second wave of Covid-19

Many Indian doctors in the US were offering their services, others were organizing donation drives and generating awareness.

According to a Ministry of External Affairs report, there are 32 million NRIs and overseas citizens of India (OCIs) residing outside India and overseas Indians comprise the world’s largest overseas diaspora.

Every year 25 lakhs Indians migrate overseas, which is the highest annual number of migrants in the world.

The Rejoice Health foundation with the help of other organizations will be inviting a large number of the Indian diaspora for each of the activities in commemoration of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav.

“We expect a few million to either directly participate or view various activities over the next six months,” Verma said.

IPL 2022: Been frustrating not getting the results we wanted to get, admits Tim David

Mumbai, May 27 IPL 2022 has been a season to forget for Mumbai Indians, with the five-time champions finishing at the bottom of the table with just four wins out of 14 league matches. Now, big-hitting batter Tim David admitted that there was frustration when the desired results weren’t coming.

Mumbai’s season began with eight losses on the trot before taking a win against Rajasthan Royals on April 30. Though they managed three more wins, including a five-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals to send Royal Challengers Bangalore into the playoffs, it was too late for the Rohit Sharma-led side to make a turnaround in their campaign.

“There’s been times when it’s been frustrating not getting the results we wanted to get straightaway. But it’s also been a rewarding season in terms of that we’ve been challenged. Personally, I’ve been challenged,” said David in a video posted by the franchise on their social media accounts.

In his first year for Mumbai after being bought by them for INR 8.25 crores in the mega auction, David was dropped after scores of 12 and 1 in the first two matches. He was eventually recalled into the playing eleven from the win against Rajasthan and showed his dazzling batting skills with an unbeaten 44 against Gujarat Titans, an 18-ball 46 against Sunrisers Hyderabad and ended the tournament with an 11-ball 34 against Delhi.

“I played a couple of games at the start and that was a good experience, my first time playing for MI. First games in India. And then, I obviously was sitting out for the team combination. As a player, it’s tough to deal with because you think you’ve got something to give the team and that’s just a period of time you have to accept. Try and support the teammates as much as you can,” stated David on not getting much game time in the first half of IPL 2022.

At the same time, he explained that he used the period on the sidelines to work hard on his fitness and skills. “I spent a fair bit of time in the gym, probably more than I could do if I was in the playing XI. I worked really hard on my batting, trying to be more stable at the crease and trying to have a more controlled swing. So I would like to think I have got quite a bit stronger. I think I’ve improved so much. It’s been a really good period of growth for me and also some experience on the field.”

David ended the campaign with 186 runs in eight matches at an average of 37.20 and a strike rate of 216.27. The 26-year-old conceded that settling into a new team environment was hard but felt comfortable as the tournament progressed.

“Initially, when you first come into an environment, you don’t know many people. So, it can feel a bit rigid or structured. But as we have gotten further into the tournament, you get more comfortable with everyone that’s here with us as part of the MI team. You get some different relationships with people. Spent a lot of time with Chappie (Paul Chapman) in the gym. So that’s been good.”

He signed off by saying that youngsters like Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma and Ramandeep Singh are Mumbai’s players for the future editions. “There are some younger guys with some good exuberance. Guys like Ishan (Kishan), he’s an experienced player but he’s good fun to be around and get a bit of energy from him. Can always have a bit of a laugh. Another one I enjoy is Tilak. Having a bit of fun with him. Ramandeep, these guys are all players for the future.”

Twitter abuzz with complaints of unhappy ‘F3’ viewers

Hyderabad, May 27 The Telugu film ‘F3’ starring Venkatesh Dagguabti and Varun Tej, which was released in theatres on Friday, has left a mixed impression on audiences.

Reports emanating from the early screenings suggest that ‘F3’ falls short of the expectations set by ‘F2’, the first installment of the ‘Fun & Frustration’ franchise.

The film had a good first half, with Venkatesh’s night blindness as his comedic streak and Varun Tej’s stutter as his entertaining aspect, but it falls flat as the narrative relies solely on the lead actors and lacks a strong story.

The second half consists primarily of old-school slapstick comedy. What the audience perceives is that Anil Ravipudi has tried to imitate the approach of EVV Satyanarayana, the late Telugu director known for his parodies, but he seems to have failed to recognize that it is nearly impossible to replicate the old master’s style.

“‘F3’ may impress a segment of the audience, but it offers nothing new to the general public,” one Twitter user complained. “With the exception of Venky and Varun, this film isn’t even close to ‘F2’. Dissatisfied,” commented another.

“You’re daydreaming if you think #AnilRavipudi will make a sensible comedy,” said yet another tweep. “#F3Movie demonstrates a shocking level of complacency. In a recycled plot, every character is an obnoxious, paper-thin caricature. At the very least, none of the jokes are up to the level of #F2Movie.”

Varun Dhawan, and Kiara Advani enthrall fans in Delhi with ‘The Punjaabban’ song

New Delhi, May 27 Bollywood stars Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani got a warm welcome in the national capital as they were greeted with loud cheers, hoots, and whistles.

The actors were in New Delhi on Friday for launching their new number ‘The Punjaabban’ song from their upcoming film ‘Jug Jugg Jeeyo’. Officially dropping on Saturday, in an exclusive showcase to media and fans of the two stars.

Varun and Kiara also danced and showed their fans the hook step of the number, which also stars Neetu Kapoor and Anil Kapoor, in the Connaught Place area of New Delhi.

‘The Punjaabban’ song is the same number that recently got pulled into a controversy as Pakistani singer Abrar ul Haq accused filmmaker Karan Johar on Twitter of “copying” his song ‘Nach Punjaban’ in his upcoming production without his permission.

Addressing the copyright issue at the song launch, Varun said: “T-series has put out an official statement about this they legally licensed the rights. I think when you have international companies like Youtube, and Spotify … When they are playing music they have very strict laws about copyrights. It’s no joke. All the processes have been followed.”

Slated to release in theatres on June 24, ‘Jug Jugg Jeeyo’ is directed by Raj Mehta.

Hyderabad, May 27 With Vishwak Sen and Rukshar Dhillon as the lead pair, the movie ‘Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam’ (better known by its acronym ‘AVAK’) had a good theatrical run, with the hero grabbing the attention of critics.

Now, the makers have announced that this feel-good movie will start streaming on the popular Telugu OTT platform, aha, from June 3.

Global recession can stay for up to 18 months: Elon Musk

New Delhi, May 27 Breaking his silence over the current global meltdown, Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Friday said the recession the world is now experiencing owing to multiple macro-economic factors could last up to 18 months.

“Based on past experience, about 12 to 18 months,” Musk replied to a follower who asked him about how long he thinks this recession will last.

“Companies that are inherently negative cash flow (i.e. value destroyers) need to die so that they stop consuming resources,” he added.

World Bank chief David Malpass warned this week that Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine could cause a global recession as the price of food, energy, and fertilizer jump.

“As we look at the global GDP, it’s hard right now to see how we avoid a recession… The idea of energy prices doubling is enough to trigger a recession by itself,” he was quoted as saying in media reports.

Last month, the World Bank cut its global economic growth forecast for this year by almost a full percentage point, to 3.2 percent.

Developing countries are also being affected by shortages of fertilizer, food, and energy.

China has been hit harder by the latest round of lockdowns. The Covid-19 measures have led to a sharp slowdown in economic activity across the country.

The US could also hit a recession before the end of this year or by early 2023, according to the chief investment officer of Hayman Capital.

In India, foreign portfolio investors have pulled out around Rs 2.5 lakh crore from the Indian equity market.

Global financial services provider firm Moody’s Investors Service has slashed India’s GDP projection to 8.8 percent for 2022, from 9.1 percent estimated previously.

The Russia-Ukraine war, high inflation, Covid-19 lockdowns in China, and rising interest rates are the reasons behind the economic activities being hampered across the globe.

Infosys hikes CEO Salil Parekh’s salary by 88% to Rs 79.75 cr per annum

 

New Delhi, May 27 Infosys CEO Salil Parekh’s salary has been increased to Rs 79.75 crore per annum, which is 88 percent higher than his previous salary of Rs 42.50 crore, said the company’s annual report for fiscal 2022.

This makes him one of the highest-paid executives in India. The company provided the sharp hike citing industry-leading growth in recent years.

It said that any comparison of the CEO’s salary should be seen in the context of the company’s performance and stock price growth. The firm said it considered key factors such as total shareholder return, rise in market cap, and growth while recommending his reappointment and change in remuneration.

As per the company’s annual report released on Thursday, the new employment agreement, which is subject to shareholder approval, will come into effect on July 2.

For fiscal FY22 which ended in March, Parekh took home a salary of Rs 71 crore, as per reports. However, of the total Rs, 52 crores came from exercising restricted stock units granted to him before.

The latest round of hikes comes days after the company reappointed him as MD and CEO for five more years starting from July 1.

“Under his leadership, the total shareholder return (TSR) was an impressive 314 percent, the highest among peers. Revenue has grown from Rs 70,522 crore (fiscal 2018) to Rs 1,21,641 crore (fiscal 2022), a compound annual growth rate of 15 percent (versus nine percent for the four years before that), and the profits have also increased from Rs 16,029 to Rs 22,110 crore,” the company said.

Further, the company said it has more than doubled the share of digital revenue from 25.5 percent FY18 to 57.0 percent FY22.

Indian men’s football team faces Jordan in last preparatory game before Asian Cup Qualifiers

New Delhi, May 27 The Indian men’s football team is all set to take on Jordan in a friendly match on Saturday (May 28) in Doha, their last preparatory game ahead of the AFC Asian Cup 2023 Qualifiers, which kicks off in Kolkata on June 8, 2022.

The match against Jordan will be played at the Qatar Sports Club.

“Another game against a stronger team will always help,” head coach Igor Stimac said. “It’s our last friendly game prior to the qualifiers, and we need to get final answers to certain questions,” the coach added. “Some of our youngsters will have a great opportunity to gain more experience at the international level.”

The squad has been in the preparatory camp for over a month, first in Bellary, and then in Kolkata, and the coach said that the “fitness levels are quite good”.

“The fitness levels are quite good. We have another 10 days in front of us, and it should be perfect. The boys have done a great job, and they need to be rewarded with some good results in the Qualifiers,” Stimac, who was part of the Croatian World Cup team which finished third in FIFA World Cup France 98, added.

Referring to Jordan as an opposition, the coach felt, “Jordan (FIFA Ranking 91) are ranked better than Belarus (FIFA Ranking 93) but are not as physical as Belarus. S,o for us, it should be a bit easier in regards to the build-up, and ball possession.”

India are currently ranked 106 on the FIFA ladder, and had played Belarus in an official match in the FIFA international window in March 2022, a match where they went down 0-3.

Meanwhile, the Indian squad has been bolstered by the joining of the ATK Mohun Bagan players, all of whom have missed the preparatory camp so far owing to their club commitments in the AFC Cup. “They came very late (on May 26, 2022 morning) after playing three games in seven days, and hence, we need to be careful with them. We still have over 36 hours ahead for them to recover, and I will be making a decision whether to field them or not on 28th morning,” Stimac added.

The 25-member squad:

Goalkeepers: Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, Laxmikanth Kattimani, Amrinder Singh.

Defenders: Rahul Bheke, Pritam Kotal, Harmanjot Singh Khabra, Anwar Ali, Sandesh Jhingan, Subhashish Bose, Roshan Singh, Akash Mishra.

Midfielders: Udanta Singh, Jeakson Singh, Anirudh Thapa, Glan Martins, Brandon Fernandes, Ritwik Das, Yasir Mohammad, Sahal Abdul Samad, Suresh Wangjam, Ashique Kuruniyan, Liston Colaco.

Forwards: Ishan Pandita, Sunil Chhetri, Manvir Singh.

Scorsese, Kevin Costner, De Niro mourn Ray Liotta’s passing

Los Angeles, May 27 Hollywood tributes are pouring in for Ray Liotta, the distinctive ‘Goodfellas’ actor, who died in his sleep at the age of 67. The actor was in the Dominican Republic at the time of his death shooting for the movie ‘Dangerous Waters’. Liotta went to sleep and never woke up, the actor’s publicist confirmed, according to ‘Variety’.

‘Goodfellas’ director Martin Scorsese remembered the actor in a statement: “I’m absolutely shocked and devastated by the sudden, unexpected death of Ray Liotta. He was so uniquely gifted, so adventurous, so courageous as an actor.”

Scorsese noted: “Playing Henry Hill in ‘Goodfellas’ was a tall order, because the character had so many different facets, so many complicated layers, and Ray was in almost every scene of a long, tough shoot. He absolutely amazed me, and I’ll always be proud of the work we did together on that picture. My heart goes out to his loved ones, and it aches for his loss, way too early.”

Liotta’s ‘Field of Dreams’ co-star Kevin Costner tweeted: “Devastated to hear the news of Ray Liotta’s passing. While he leaves an incredible legacy, he’ll always be ‘Shoeless Joe Jackson’ in my heart. What happened at that moment in the film was real. God gave us that stunt. Now God has Ray.”

His ‘Goodfellas’ co-star Robert De Niro shared a statement, writing: “I was very saddened to learn of Ray’s passing. He is way too young to have left us. May he Rest in Peace.”

Another of Liotta’s ‘Goodfellas’ co-stars, Lorraine Bracco, wrote on Twitter: “I can be anywhere in the world and people will come up and tell me their favourite movie is ‘Goodfellas’. Then they always ask what was the best part of making that movie. My response has always been the same … Ray Liotta.”

Life imprisonment for Telangana’s serial killer who murdered 17 women

Hyderabad, May 27 A serial killer, who murdered 17 women, has been awarded life imprisonment by a court in Telangana’s Jogulamba-Gadwal district.

Yerukali Srinu (47), who used to target women after befriending them at toddy shops, was awarded the sentence in one of the murder cases.

The third Additional District Magistrate held him guilty and on Thursday sentenced him to life imprisonment for the murder of Chitti Alivelamma (53).

The serial killer was arrested in 2019 in Alivelamma’s murder case. The investigations revealed that he killed 16 other women in the last one decade. Srinu’s wife Salamma was also arrested for stocking the stolen property.

Srinu, addicted to liquor, would befriend women who come to toddy shops to drink, would take them out to isolated places in the name of picnic, and after drinking with them would kill them and decamp with their gold and silver ornaments.

Srinu, who had also murdered his own brother, was finally caught when police cracked the murder case of Alivelamma, whose body was found on December 17, 2019, near a village in the Mahabubnagar district

The police investigations had revealed that the accused targetted lone women at toddy shops at various places in Rangareddy and Mahabubnagar districts.

Srinu was convicted and jailed in a few criminal cases. In 2009, he was sentenced to life for killing his brother but was given remission in 2013 for good conduct in jail. However, there was no change in him. After the last time he was released from jail in 2018, authorities had provided him a job at a petrol bunk run by the prison department with the hope that he would mend his ways. However, he continued to indulge in drinking and commit crimes.

He was acquitted in 11 cases. In two of the cases, he was acquitted recently. Police have appealed against his acquittal.

Monkeypox spreads to more than 20 countries: WHO

New Delhi, May 27 The monkeypox virus has spread to more than 20 countries, with about 200 confirmed cases and over 100 suspected cases in nations where it is typically not found, the World Health Organization (WHO) said.

The global health body has urged nations to increase surveillance of infectious diseases as outbreaks grow.

According to Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s Covid-19 technical lead, more cases of the rare viral illness will likely be reported as surveillance expands, but added that the recent spread is containable, CNBC reported.

“We expect more cases to be detected. We are asking countries to increase surveillance,” Van Kerkhove said during a Q&A on the global health agency’s social media platforms.

“This is a containable situation. It will be difficult, but it’s a containable situation in non-endemic countries.”

Since the first reported case on May 7, in the UK, monkeypox has spread to North America and Europe in recent weeks. The outbreak is driven by a milder West African strain of the virus and most patients recover in a few weeks.

No deaths have been reported so far.

As per the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the European Union (EU) has confirmed 118 cases of monkeypox. Spain and Portugal have reported the largest outbreaks in the EU with 51 and 37 cases, respectively.

The UK Health Security Agency has confirmed 90 cases of the virus.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified nine cases across seven states, while Canadian health officials have confirmed 16 cases of monkeypox, all detected in the province of Quebec, the report said.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky noted that some patients in the US haven’t traveled to countries with active outbreaks, suggesting that the virus is spreading domestically.

Health officials in these countries have said a majority of the patients are gay or bisexual men, with the virus spreading in many cases through sex.

However, the officials emphasized that monkeypox can spread to anyone through close physical contact regardless of sexual orientation.

But, monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted disease. The virus can spread through any kind of sustained skin-to-skin contact with an infected person who has a lesion.

It can also spread through body fluids, contaminated bed sheets, and clothing, or respiratory droplets if a person has a lesion in their mouth.

Van Kerhkove suggested health-care professionals consider monkeypox a diagnosis for patients with rash illnesses that present at sexual health clinics, emergency departments, infectious disease clinics, primary-care physicians, and dermatologists, the report said.

“It doesn’t mean that anyone with a rash will have monkeypox but we need to raise awareness about what monkeypox is and isn’t, and we need to ensure that countries have the capacity to test and provide the right information.”

Hyderabad, May 27 In the middle of the buzz surrounding Anil Ravipudi’s Telugu family entertainer ‘F3’, the director has released a video in which he attempts to silence his trolls.

Ravipudi and his film have been the targets of troll attacks on social media. Unfazed, Ravipudi has stated that he will continue to make films in his signature style and therefore does not take the negative feedback to heart.

The debutant director compares trolls who try to bring down his films to non-vegetarians who shame vegetarians by comparing each individual’s food choices.

“Non-vegetarians have no idea of what vegetarian food tastes like and vegetarians will not stop eating the way they do just because they are being trolled,” Ravipudi said. There is an audience for all types of films as long as they are well-made.

With his over-the-top films that pack in a lot of fun, Ravipudi has carved a niche for himself. His latest, ‘F3’, is out in theatres and early reports suggest that the movie is an entertainer.
