There’s more to Modi’s photo Ops than Narcissism
To read Modi’s photo ops as narcissistic nonsense is politically suicidal. The CEO of viral tweets is the master of social media, which makes him the most followed leader on X and YouTube. The resolute pilot in combat gear in the cockpit of a Tejas fighter jet is meant to evoke aerial vengeance of the Balakot kind. Modi boating on a tranquil Dal Lake signals that terrorism won’t win in Kashmir after Article 370 was binned. The viral photo of Modi busy at work on board Air India One, on his way to meet Joe Biden pictures the Man Who Never Sleeps in service of India.

How does Indore do it?
In this scenario, for six years in a row, one city, Indore, has won the first position among hundreds of aspiring municipalities. I asked Harshika Singh, the Municipal Commissioner of Indore, to let me visit a few sites and see for myself how things worked. Before flying out of Delhi, I got a call from an official in the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC). I also recalled what Raghuram Rajan, the erstwhile Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, had written about Indore in his book, The Third Pillar: “People treated Indore as a vast public garbage dump…. The biggest difference between Indore and other cities is that Indore recycles and sells whatever can be salvaged and makes it financially remunerative.

F&O Query: Should you buy Hindustan Petroleum and Godrej CP futures?
I have bought 4 lots of Hindustan Petroleum January 25 futures at ₹403. Santhosh ReddyHPCL (₹450.80): Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) and its futures has been steadily gaining since November last year. Towards the end of 2023, HPCL futures confirmed a bull flag breakout. So, once the market opens, place stop-loss at ₹430 as HPCL futures closed at ₹451.20 on Friday. Consequently, Godrej CP futures, after marking a high of ₹1,234 on January 5, has now declined to ₹1,157.20.

U.S. presidential election heats up as frigid Iowa tests Trump
But Iowans may have to contend with the coldest conditions in the modern era of presidential election campaigns, with blizzards and a potential wind chill of -26 degrees Fahrenheit (-32 degrees Celsius) forecast. Despite his apparent strength, Mr. Trump has been indicted four times since he was last a candidate, and is preparing for the potential collapse of his business empire in his native New York in a civil fraud trial. Stung by defeat in 2016 after skipping much of Iowa’s campaign trail, Mr. Trump has built up an impressive network of “precinct captains” to corral votes this time around -- but he has been as notable for courtroom appearances as campaign events. In a state that likes to meet its candidates face-to-face, Mr. DeSantis has been at pains to highlight his own ground game, which has taken him to all 99 counties. Mr. Biden is expected to comfortably defeat self-help author Marianne Williamson and Minnesota congressman Dean Phillips.

Grace and mischief: Originating in 18th-century Maharashtra under the Peshwa regime, Lavani, derived from the root word, lavanya, is a form of folk dance that epitomises grace and has the shringar ras
Originating in 18th-century Maharashtra under the Peshwa regime, Lavani, derived from the root word, lavanya, is a form of folk dance that epitomises grace and has the shringar ras at its core. What unfolded over more than 100 minutes was thus a confluence of Marathi folk tunes and dance recitals charged with unrestrained female eroticism. Directed by Bhushan Korgaonkar, Lavani Ke Rang began with the sutradhar, Geetanjali Kulkarni, chronicling the history of the artform. The first recital, "Lahi lahi hote", described a lonely dancer awaiting her patron. The transaction was incomplete without wolf whistles from the audience, with musical accompaniments like the dholak, tabla and harmonium adding to the cheer.

Author and educationist tooEstablished as one of the ‘grand dames’ of Indian classical music by the early 1970s, what made her different from peers like the renowned Kishori Amonkar was her sheer versatility and ability in innovating hoary traditions in Indian classical music, making it fresh and supple with her trailblazing renditions. Besides being a music educationist and thinker who wrote prolifically, Atre straddled the worlds of classical music, dance and theatre with consummate ease. ‘Set new standards’Paying rich tributes, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde announced a state funeral for Atre. “Her contribution to Indian classical music is of the highest order.
