  • Cannes 2024: Sabotage attempt on Indian creative triumph by foreign competitor sparks outrage |

    ‘The Steel of India’ campaign, which earned a Silver and Bronze Lion at the prestigious Cannes Lions 2024, stands as a testament to the prowess of Indian creativity. Developed by Kondurkar Studio and Early Man Film, this milestone has been marred by controversy due to claims from the foreign agency Wieden+Kennedy (W+K).

    W+K’s Indian office alleged that the campaign closely mirrored their concept, igniting a dispute that saw initial hesitation from the Delhi High Court to fully support W+K’s assertions. Despite an out-of-court settlement, W+K has maintained its stance, persisting with their narrative of ownership over the creative idea.

    It appears that the Cannes success of Kondurkar Studio and Early Man Film was met with discontent by Wieden+Kennedy, says a report by Zee News’ sister concern DNA. Other reports indicate that their foreign-born CEO attempted to undermine this victory by contacting Cannes organizers and influencing media outlets. This action, perceived by many as a desperate and disgraceful attempt, taints a moment of national pride for India, where Indian companies were celebrated on an international platform.

    An analysis of the court order reveals a narrow interpretation. The judge refrained from addressing the substance of the copyright infringement claim, suggesting arbitration instead. Following the settlement, W+K withdrew their appeal, rendering the initial court order moot and ineffective.

    The announcement of the Cannes award, achieved by an Indian company, appears to have unsettled W+K, leading them to disparage the work and recognition of Indian creative talent. This incident underscores the persistent challenges Indian creatives face in gaining global recognition, often hindered by foreign entities with vested interests.

    This controversy emphasizes the ongoing struggle for respect and recognition faced by Indian creatives. While the ‘Steel of India’ campaign should be lauded for its excellence, W+K’s actions represent a regrettable effort to undermine Indian success. It is crucial for the global community to acknowledge and honour the contributions of Indian companies, celebrating their achievements without prejudice.

  • ‘Hero became zero’… repeatedly ‘cheating’ Rohit Sharma, now will this veteran be dropped from the playing 11?

    T20 World Cup 2024: Team India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been a complete flop in the current T20 World Cup. He neither showed his flair in batting nor his bowling. Now it is believed that he may be dropped from the playing 11.

    Team India is performing brilliantly in the T20 World Cup 2024. The Men in Blue are undefeated so far under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. They reached the Super 8 by winning all the matches in the group stage and here too they defeated the Afghan team by 47 runs in their very first match. Except for one player, all the players of India are performing well. This player is none other than star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who did not appear in the rhythm for which Jadeja is known. Jaddu has been a flop with both bat and ball. This is the reason why he is in danger of being dropped from Team India’s playing 11.

    News Team India crushed Afghanistan by 47 runs in the Super-8 match of T20 World Cup 2024 played on Thursday. This is Team India’s fourth win in the current T20 World Cup. There is one player of Team India, who has not been able to do anything special even after playing 4 matches in T20 World Cup 2024. This player of Team India has been able to score only 7 runs and take only one wicket in 4 matches played so far in T20 World Cup 2024. This player of the Indian team is none other than Ravindra Jadeja.

    Batting came 2 times in 4 matches, only 7 runs came off the bat (T20 World Cup 2024)

    Ravindra Jadeja has played all the 4 matches for Team India so far. He got a chance to bat twice. He could not do anything special both the times. Jadeja could not even open his account against Pakistan, in that match he came to bat at number three. After this, Jadeja did not get a chance to bat against Ireland and America. Then when he came to play against the Afghan team, he was out after scoring just 7 runs, while Jadeja had a great chance to play a big innings, but he could not take advantage.

    This was Jadeja’s bowling performance in the T20 World Cup

    First match- On June 5, he gave 7 runs in 1 over in the first match against Ireland. He did not get a single wicket. Second match- On June 9, he gave 10 runs in 2 overs against Pakistan, he did not get a single wicket. Third match- Captain Rohit did not bowl a single over against the US team. Fourth match- The match against Canada was cancelled due to rain. Fifth match- Jadeja was able to open his account against Afghanistan, he got 1 wicket.

    May have to be out of the playing eleven

    Team India now has to face Bangladesh and Australia to secure a place in the semi-finals. Therefore, Rohit Sharma will field a strong playing 11. In these matches, Yuzvendra Chahal may replace Jadeja, who has not got a chance to play even a single match so far.

  • “Congress’ long-term plan to create rift with help of lies”: Maharashtra Dy CM on claims of Atal Setu cracks

    Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday asserted that there is “no danger” to Atal Setu and termed the allegations as part of Congress’ “long-term plan to create a rift with the help of lies.”

    This comes after Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole on Friday inspected the cracks spotted on the Mumbai-Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) and alleged that these cracks are the result of corruption.

    “There is no crack on Atal Setu. Nor is there any danger to Atal Setu. This picture is of the approach road. But one thing is clear the Congress party has made a long-term plan to create a rift with the help of lies. Talks of constitutional amendments during elections, unlocking of EVMs through phone after elections and now such lies. Only the people of the country will defeat this ‘Darar’ plan and the corrupt behaviour of Congress,” Devendra Fadnavis posted on X.The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) clarified that minor cracks were found on the approach road connecting Atal Setu in Ulwe, which is not a part of the bridge but is a service road connecting the bridge.

    MMRDA stated that the cracks are not due to structural defects in the project and do not pose any threat to the structure of the bridge.

    MMRDA also labelled the news as ‘rumours’ and urged the citizens not to believe them.According to MMRDA, these minor cracks were already noticed at three places on Ramp No 5, from Ulwe towards Mumbai, on Thursday during an inspection by the Operation and Maintenance Team of the Project and require immediate repair. Strabag, the contractor of Package 4 of the Atal Setu project, has started the repair work in the said area and the work will be completed within 24 hours without any disruption to the traffic on the bridge.The official statement reads, “It has been noticed that there is no crack in the main part of Atal Setu Bridge but rumours are being spread in various media about it. Please don’t believe the rumours. Minor cracks have been found on the approach road connecting Atal Setu. The said footpath is not a part of the main bridge but is a service road connecting the bridge. It is also very important to note that the cracks are not due to structural defects in the project and do not pose any threat to the structure of the bridge.”

    “During the inspection on 20th June 2024 by the Operation and Maintenance Team of the project, minor cracks were noticed at three places on Ramp No. 5 asphalt from Ulwe towards Mumbai which require immediate repair. M/s Strabag, the contractor of Package 4 of the Atal Setu project, has started the repair work in the said area and the work will be completed within 24 hours without any disruption to the traffic on the bridge.”

    In a social media post to X, MMRDA wrote, “There have been rumours circulating about cracks on the MTHL bridge. We want to clarify that these cracks are not on the bridge itself but on the approach road connecting MTHL from Ulwe towards Mumbai.”

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewari-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu, India’s longest bridge, in Maharashtra on January 12, 2024.

    Maharashtra Governor Ramesh Bais, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis were also present on the occasion.

  • International Yoga Day 2024: These three yogasanas will bring glow to your face, you will not need to get a facial done…

    International Yoga Day 2024 : It is true that various types of creams, serums and masks help in keeping the skin healthy and glowing. But did you know that facial exercises can play an equally important role? With increasing age, the level of collagen and elastin in our skin naturally decreases. This leads to looseness and wrinkles in the skin.

    Facial exercises help slow down these changes by strengthening these muscles and increasing blood flow. Today on International Yoga Day, we will tell you which are the 3 yogasanas that are good for your face.

    Benefits of Facial Exercise (International Yoga Day 2024)

    As we age, the facial muscles start weakening. This causes the skin to become loose and wrinkles to appear. Facial exercises help keep the skin tight by strengthening these muscles. Facial exercises promote blood flow in the face. This provides the skin with the necessary nutrients and oxygen, making the skin look healthy and glowing. Collagen is a protein that makes the skin flexible and strong. Facial exercises help increase collagen production, making wrinkles and fine lines less visible. Stress is a major cause of wrinkles on the face. Facial exercises help reduce facial stress and relax the muscles.

    Lion Pose

    Lion Pose, also known as Simhasana or Singh Kriya, is a powerful yoga pose that helps strengthen the facial muscles and make the face look radiant. This asana is also helpful in stimulating the thyroid gland and reducing stress.

    Lion Pose Method

    Sit on your knees and keep your spine straight. Place your hands on your thighs and take a deep breath. While exhaling, stick your tongue out and open your eyes wide. Stay in this posture for a while and then slowly exhale and come back to normal position.

    cranial stoma dhoti

    Kapala Randhra Dhoti, also known as Nasal Wash or Nasika Shodhana, is one of the six Shat Kriyas (Shatkarmas) which is a powerful yogic kriya useful for cleansing the nose and improving health. It helps in removing impurities from the body and mind by clearing the nasal passages.

    Cranial stoma dhoti method

    Sit in a comfortable posture like Padmasana, Siddhasana or Sukhasana. Breathe in slowly and deeply. Close your left nostril with the thumb of your right hand. Exhale slowly and fully from your right nostril. Close your right nostril with the index finger of your right hand. Breathe in slowly and fully from your left nostril. Remove the thumb of your right hand from your left nostril. Exhale slowly and fully from your right nostril. Remove the index finger of your right hand from your right nostril.

    Pout Pose

    The pout pose is a simple but effective exercise that helps strengthen and tone your lips and facial muscles. This pose makes the facial muscles flexible, which helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

    Pout pose method

    Keep your spine straight and shoulders relaxed. Take a few deep breaths and relax your facial muscles. Pout your lips like a fish mouth, puff your lips outwards, making them as round and full as possible. Using your facial muscles, try to press your lips firmly together. Hold this pout position for about 5-10 seconds. Then slowly release the pout and bring the lips back to normal position. Repeat this pout pose 3-5 times.

  • BB Ott 3: As soon as Anil Kapoor came on the show, he made serious allegations against him, the contestant picked up a hammer…

    Fans are eagerly waiting for Bigg Boss OTT 3. Today finally the day has come when this show is going to start with a bang. This time the command of the show has been given to Anil Kapoor instead of Salman Khan. Anil’s attitude and Bigg Boss’s move are going to be seen overpowering the contestants this time. Before the show starts, a new promo of the show has come out, in which Anil Kapoor is praising the beauty of the contestant on one hand, while on the other hand he is also seen making many allegations on her.

    A female contestant is seen in the new promo of Bigg Boss OTT 3. This contestant is none other than Delhi’s Vada Pav girl i.e. Chandrika Dixit. Chandrika is the first confirmed contestant of the show, whose promo was already released. In the new promo video, Anil Kapoor is seen asking many questions to Chandrika after praising her beauty, while answering which Chandrika is also seen giving a befitting reply to the trolls.

    In the video that has surfaced, Anil says that there is a lot of turmoil in your life. People have made a lot of allegations against you. After this, Anil Kapoor is seen telling the allegations against him one by one. Chandrika is also answering all the questions very boldly. He says, ‘You get the vlogs made by paying money to the vlogger.’ On this, Chandrika breaks a box with a hammer and says, ‘I am not getting any illegal income.’ After this, Anil asks, ‘Did you create controversy to come to Bigg Boss?’

    Then what happened was that Chandrika breaks the box with a hammer and says, ‘Just accusations upon accusations…’ In the end Anil Kapoor says, ‘To prove yourself right, did you misbehave with the police?’ Chandrika also replies, ‘What can one do when the protector himself becomes the predator.’ It is clear from the promo that Chandrika is going to create a lot of ruckus in the show.
