Yash meets the families of his fans who lost their lives
(Image source from: Thehindu.com)Yash meets the families of his fans who lost their lives:- Yash, the renowned Indian actor, has gained tremendous popularity in the film industry, particularly after the tremendous success of KGF: Chapter 2. Tragically, three fans of Yash in Suranagi village, Gadang district lost their lives while erecting a banner of their beloved actor to celebrate his 38th birthday on 8th January. This gesture carries significant weight, considering that Yash does not have a personal connection with these individuals or their families. Moreover, this gesture clearly illustrates that Yash values and respects his fans and does not take their support for granted. This unfortunate incident serves as a lesson for fans of other actors as well.

An expanding Gaza war, with no endgame in sight
January 11, 2024 12:08 am | Updated 08:24 am ISTWith the Gaza war having reached its three-month mark, it has spread dangerously to Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and even Iran. And, on January 4, the United States announced the targeted killing of the head of an Iran-affiliated militia in Baghdad that has been attacking American targets since the beginning of the Gaza war. The Houthis have demanded that humanitarian assistance be provided urgently to the beleaguered Palestinians in Gaza. There are concerns that al-Arouri’s killing was carried out to proclaim some success in the war on Hamas. Palestinian interests and regional peace require robust and pro-active Saudi initiatives, which have been missing so far.

Urmila Satyanarayanan’s Thadathagai takes audience on a trip Madurai
Premiered at Narada Gana Sabha’s annual dance festival, it is choreographed by Urmila Satyanarayanan and Sai Kripa Prasanna. The lyrics are sourced primarily from the Thiruvilaiyadal Puranam of Patanjali Munivar by Desa Mangayarkarasi and her student Aravind Kumar. Choreography and music are the two aspects that keep the interest alive in this lengthy production. The martial arts training sequence (choreography by Thiruchelwam) is impressive. Similarly, when Meenakshi marches with her army, the soundscape is seamlessly woven into the choreography, leaving a lasting impact.

Finding life for lost species
Though this technique has its limitations, it can recreate some traits of an extinct species, but the genome will differ from the original species. Studies show that cloning is a feasible de-extinction approach for living species close to extinction because the resulting organism is identical. While the resurrection of these extinct species becomes a reality by the day, questions are being raised on the cutting-edge science, ethical dilemmas, and ecological repercussions that surround this ambitious quest to bring back species long thought lost to the sands of time.

Cultural erosion in the face of development
Cultural erosion in the face of development is a complex and multifaceted issue that has captured the attention of scholars, policymakers, and communities worldwide. Development projects can displace communities from their ancestral lands or disrupt their traditional ways of life. However, its construction displaced thousands of tribal and marginalized communities from their ancestral lands, disrupting their traditional livelihoods and cultural practices[3]. This is how cultural foods are being replaced as a result of development. To deny the impact of cultural erosion is to turn a blind eye to the vanishing languages, displaced communities, and fading traditions.
