‘Boycott Cadbury’ trends after news of beef being used in Cadbury product

Boycott Cadbury started trending on Twitter on Sunday as apart from the usual fake claims of ‘beef’ being used in Cadbury products, social media users targetted the recent Diwali advertisement of the company.

VHP leader Sadhvi Prachi shared the Cadbury advertisement and objected to the use of ‘Damodar’ as the name of a poor lamp seller claiming that this has been done to show “someone with PM Narendra Modi’s father’s name in poor light”. “Chaiwale ke baap diyewala,” Sadhvi Prachi tweeted while many others started tweeting calling for the boycott of Cadbury products in India.

This is not the first time that Cadbury came under the fire of Indian Twitter users. In 2021, a similar boycott call was given which prompted the company to issue a statement clarifying that all its products in India are 100% vegetarian and the green dot on the wrapper stands for that.

Twitter users who made the ‘Boycott Cadbury’ trend shared a screenshot of the product description page of the Cadbury website, Australia. It said, “Please note, if any of our Australian products contain gelatine in the ingredients, the gelatine we use is halal certified and derived from beef.”

The viral screenshot claiming beef in Cadbury products is not from India. Earlier when the same accusations were brought against Cadbury, Mondelez India, which manufactures Cadbury Daily Milk, its Indian products are 100% vegetarian.

The human body is full of complex mechanisms which often present as anomalies  and rare diseases. One such rare disease is Primary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) which affects only 0.2 per million population. A 65-year-old female was treated at Wockhardt hospitals Nagpur for PAP – a disease in which protein gets accumulated inside the lungs leading to decrease in oxygen exchange. The woman had complaints of breathing difficulty and progressive hypoxia (fall in blood oxygen levels). “We performed Whole Lung Lavage of both lungs  – a complex procedure of washing the lungs to remove protein deposits.

After 10 cycles of saline instillation and drainage, we were able to wash the left lung with 8 liters of saline and right lung with 8.8 liters of saline. We used the modified WLL to clean the lungs and clear it from most of the protein deposits”, informed, Dr. Sameer Arbat, Consultant- Interventional Pulmonology. The procedure was successful with no adverse events and the patient was discharged with significant improvement in radiological and clinical condition. Interventional Pulmonology is an advanced field of Pulmonology which deals with high end equipments for treating lung diseases.

Wockhardt Nagpur is equipped with advanced Interventional Pulmonology setup led by Dr Sameer Arbat who is pioneer of Interventional Pulmonology in Central India.

BIOFUELCIRCLE IN ASSOCATION WITH BAIF COMMENCES COUNTYRY’S FIRST PROJECT TO ESTABLISH BIOMASS FOCUSED RURAL BUSINESSES’ IN MAHARASHTRA

BIOFUELCIRCLE IN ASSOCATION WITH BAIF COMMENCES COUNTYRY’S FIRST PROJECT TO ESTABLISH BIOMASS FOCUSED RURAL BUSINESSES’ IN MAHARASHTRA

27 October 2022: BiofuelCircle, India’s first online marketplace for biomass and biofuels, has embarked on an ambitious project to establish 20 Biomass Banks at select locations across Maharashtra. 

Biomass Bank, a digitally enabled  rural business concept, facilitates biomass collection, aggregation, transport, and processing for green energy using BiofuelCircle’s digital platform. 

The project has BAIF Agro and Bio-Technology Private Limited, as rural implementation partner, under the guidance of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).  

The first phase of the project includes Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and Self-Help Groups (SHGs) spread across Amravati, Hingoli, Pune (Ambegaon) and Osmanabad Districts. 

Biomass Banks, set up by these FPOs and SHGs will digitally connect farmers and drive collection of   agricultural waste from the upcoming harvest season.  BiofuelCircle marketplace will further provide market connect and services for end-use of the aggregated residue as industrial fuel.

Sharing his views on the initiative Suhas Baxi, Co-Founder and CEO, BiofuelCircle said “BiofuelCircle’s three-sided marketplace model is designed to drive wide scale rural participation. We aim to address the challenges around bioenergy supply chain and make a positive impact on the environment and the rural community by providing economic value, clean energy and increased rural job opportunities.”

This phase of the project aims to create market linkage for 15,000+ farmers and provide a sustained method for evacuating 100,000 MT Agri-residue biomass annually and create additional rural income of Rs 15 Crores.

Adding to this Mr. Shrinivas Kulkarni, Director, BAIF Agro and Bio Technology said “We work with the farmers at the grass-root level. Dealing with the crop residue is an issue. Its evacuation itself costs money. While burning it down may appear to be the easiest way, it’s not in the best interest of the farmer since it reduces soil nutrients. Biomass Bank is an encouraging move towards simplifying the “farm to industry connect” and helping meet the country’s energy needs with biomass and at the same time benefiting even the smallest farmer.  Rural enterprise model generates more rural jobs and provides an additional source of income to the farmers.”

Furthermore, this initiative is a significant step in contributing towards climate change by ensuring sustainability and efficient waste management.

Elon Musk in charge of Twitter, Fires Top Execs

Despite doubting his intentions multiple times to follow through with the $44 billion Twitter acquisition deal, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is now in charge of Twitter, CNBC reported.

As per sources, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and finance chief Ned Segal have left the company’s San Francisco headquarters and will not be returning as Musk began the purge of executives after closing the expected deal. Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal policy, trust, and safety was also fired, as per media reports.

In April, Twitter accepted Musk’s proposal to buy and take the social media service private.However, Musk soon began sowing doubt about his intentions to follow through with the agreement, alleging that the company failed to adequately disclose the number of spam and fake accounts on the service.

Earlier when Musk said he was terminating the deal, Twitter sued the billionaire, alleging he ‘refuses to honour his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests’, however, he later decided to pursue his acquisition of Twitter at the original price of $54.20 a share, reported CNBC.

Following Musk’s decision, a Delaware Chancery Court judge eventually ruled that Musk had until October 28 to cement the Twitter deal or head to trial.

Musk arrived at the Twitter headquarters earlier this week carrying a sink, and documented the event on Twitter, saying ‘Entering Twitter HQ — let that sink in!’ and also updated his Twitter description to ‘Chief Twit’.

He tweeted a video of him and described his visit as an experience that he was trying to ‘sink in’ as the Tesla CEO has until the end of the week to either close the Twitter deal or face a trial.

In July, in a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk who had long been showing his interest to buy Twitter terminated the deal. The Tesla CEO did so by alleging that Twitter violated their mutual purchase agreement by misrepresenting the number of spam and fake bot accounts on its platform. After Musk put out the deal termination announcement, the market saw a sharp decline. Later, Twitter sued Musk accusing him of using bots as a pretext to exit a deal.

Again, last week, Musk confirmed that he will move forward with the Twitter buyout at the originally agreed price of $54.20 per share. However, the Twitter deal legal proceedings had been put on hold by a judge overseeing the dispute until October 28.

Nagpur-Hyderabad distance would be covered in three and a half hours, says Gadkari

Nagpur-Hyderabad distance would be covered in three and a half hours, says Gadkari

Nagpur: The Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday announced that the Nagpur-Hyderabad Road would be widened and thus the distance of about five hundred kilometres could be covered in just three and a half hours. “With this move, Hyderabad will come very close to Nagpur,” Gadkari said while interacting with the media in Nagpur on Wednesday.

Gadkari further said that the Central Government aims to build roads worth Rs 25,000 crore in the country in the coming year. Nagpur and Hyderabad routes are also included in this. At present, it takes at least eight to nine hours by road to cover the distance from Nagpur to Hyderabad. Mumbai-Pune Expressway will be made super fast, he added.

The Union Minister called on the common people to invest in the National Highway Authority of India’s (NHAI) ‘National Highways Infra Trust (NHAI InvIT) bonds claiming that at 8% it would offer better returns than any other institutions, said a report in a local English daily.

This infrastructure investment trust was launched to support the Centre’s National Monetization Pipeline (NMP). India has the second largest network in the world covering about 63.72 lakh kms, as per the NHAI officials.

Gadkari informed that NHAI would raise InvIT bonds of Rs 25 lakh crore for its various projects. He emphasised that common people would be targeted for the sale of bonds apart from institutions and foreign investors. “There has been a massive response to the InvIT since its launch (on October 17). The issue is already oversubscribed four times. We will provide monthly interest to all the investors. The amount will be used to construct highways and bridges on a public-partnership basis,” the Minister said.

Gadkari said the InvIT bonds would soon be listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE), where investors would get the opportunity for investment and trade. “I would be going to Mumbai for listing these bonds, probably next week,” he said.

Stressing that the country’s economy was on a fast-track growth, Gadkari said highways would play a vital role in it. “We would be constructing 26 green expressways across the country. One of those is the completely new Nagpur-Hyderabad highway. It would significantly reduce the travelling time between two cities. The alignment of the road is already completed, and we would soon come out with a DPR. Once completed, the travel distance between two cities would be just three and half hours,” the report quoted Gadkari as saying.

Gadkari said another project would be the Mumbai-Bangalore Highway which would connect the existing Mumbai-Pune Expressway. “All these highways would be access controlled and 10-12 lanes wide. In Meerut, we have built a 16-lane highway,” he said.

The city MP said that once Samruddhi Mahamarg opens, it would be more convenient to reach Pune through Jalna. “A new road would be constructed from Jalna to Pune, which would be completed in the next one and half years.”

Speaking on the ambitious Inter-Modal Station (IMS), the Union Minister reiterated that the project was scrapped due to stiff opposition from environmentalists who also filed a PIL in Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court. “We are exploring whether the same facilities can be built at Khapri. We are also planning to shift the heavy traffic at Sindi Dry Port. We had received Rs 1,200 crore from the centre for IMS, but after opposition by the greens at the Ajni Vann, even the contractor backed out. It has affected the plans to replace the existing British-era bridge at Ajni with a new one,” he said.

The first phase of 701 km Nagpur Mumbai Samruddhi MahaMarg from Nagpur to Shirdi will be operational by November, said Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

The CM heads the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation which is the nodal agency for the project. The first phase is 520km between Nagpur and Shirdi between Nagpur and Shirdi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to inaugurate it. He however, did not divulge further details. The MSRDC vice chairman and managing director Radheshyam Mopalwar confirmed that they are waiting the PM’s confirmation. ”We are in readiness for the commissioning of the first phase by the Prime Minister. It will help improve connectivity and economic growth in the districts adjacent to the first phase of the Samruddhi Marg,” he noted.

The construction of the ambitious Samruddhi MahaMarg was launched during the previous BJP government in 2019. The land acquisition phase for the greenfield project started in July 2017 after it was first announced in 2015.

The project entails a total cost of Rs 55,000 crore and the MSRDC has raised loans worth Rs 28,000 crore. The Samruddhi MahaMarg passes directly through 10 districts namely Nagpur, Amravati, Buldhana, Wardha, Washim, Jalna, Aurangabad, Ahmednagar, Nashik, and Thane. The first phase will connect eight districts.

RRR, SS Rajamouli’s masterpiece, never ceases to astound Western reviewers and viewers. The blockbuster has now started its promotion at the award ceremonies.

The movie took home the best international feature prize at the 50th Saturn Awards on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.

The honours, which recognise works of genre literature, are regarded as the start of the Oscars’ road to the big event, which will take place the following year.

The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films awards science fiction, fantasy, horror, and other genre fiction in movies, TV shows, and streaming services with the Saturn Award.

RRR won the prize for the best foreign film at the 2022 awards on Tuesday night, defeating films such Downton Abbey: A New Era, Eiffel, I’m Your Man, Riders of Justice, and Silent Night.

In order to promote RRR, director SS Rajamouli provided a video acceptance speech from Japan.

“I am overjoyed that our movie RRR took home the Saturn Award for best foreign film. On behalf of our entire team, I thank the jury. We are overjoyed, he declared.

RRR is currently the second Indian movie to receive this honour. Rajamouli, who also directed the first, made a point of mentioning this in his video greeting. “This is the second Saturn Award for my movie,” he continued.

I initially took home a prize for Baahubali: The Conlusion. I wish I could be there in person, but I’m sorry I have prior obligations related to the release of RRR in Japan.

RRR received nominations for both best action/adventure picture and best film director. In the first, Matt Reeves, who won for The Batman, defeated SS Rajamouli.

The film RRR, starring Ram Charan and Jr. NTR, is a fictionalised portrayal of the early lives of Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem, two Indian rebels.

With a global gross of over 1100 crore and climbing, the movie is one of the most popular Indian films of all time. As a result of its favourable reviews in the US, it has also been nominated for an Oscar.

West Indies out of T20 World Cup

West Indies out of T20 World Cup

Ireland grabbed the headline of the 2022 T20 World Cup so far with their nine-wicket against West Indies, pushing the most successful team in the competition’s history out of the Super 12 contention.

Winning the toss, West Indies opted to bat first in Hobart. Simi Singh and Barry McCarthy put the Irish in advantage, removing both openers in the powerplay, leading the run rate to slow down.

With wickets continuing to fall at the other end, Brandon King manifested a respectable first innings total for the Windies with his 48-ball-62 that included six fours and one maximum.

Odean Smith joined hands towards the end with his 12-ball cameo of 19 as the 2012 and 2016 winners finished their 20 overs at 146/5.

Just like they did with the ball, the Irish openers took the attack to the opposition right from the get go. Paul Stirling and skipper Andre Balbirnie 73 runs off 45 deliveries to set the chase.

Even though Akeal Hosein did provide the Windies with a breakthrough, it made little difference in context of the game as keeper batter Lorcan Tucker then took the proceedings ahead with Sterling, who went on to score his 21st T20I fifty. The 32-year-old, who is also the fifth highest scorer in the format, breached the 3000 run mark as well.

The loss marked West Indies’ sixth out of eight matches in the competition since they won the 2016 final at Eden Gardens.

Police arrested Rahul Navlani, the main suspect in the alleged suicide of noted TV actor Vaishali Takkar, on Wednesday.

Earlier, the Indore police commissioner announced a reward of Rs 5,000 for information leading to the arrest of Rahul Navlani and his wife Disha, who are accused of assisting the actor of the TV series Sasural Simar Ka in his suicide. In their name, a lookout notice was also issued.

“Rahul was trying to flee Indore but was nabbed before he could do so,” the police officer said, adding, he is being questioned over suspicion that rose during the investigation.

Asked whether his wife was also nabbed, Kanwa said he was not aware of it.

Earlier in the day Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra said a lookout circular has been issued against the couple. A reward of Rs 5,000 for both the accused was also announced.

The accused couple lived in the neighbourhood of Vaishali Takkar. She was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her house in Saibag Colony on Sunday.

Weather department predicts incessant rains on Ind vs Pak T20 World Cup

The highly charged atmosphere of the India and Pakistan T20 World Cup match on Sunday may be spoiled by the rainy weather at Melbourne. Instead of sparks flying, the much anticipated clash might get doused in cold water, courtesy the weather update by the Bureau of Meteorology, Australia.

Just days before the blockbuster clash at the MCG, rain threatens to wash out the encounter, with the Bureau of Meteorology predicting, ‘High (80%) chance of showers, most likely in the evening. Winds southerly 15 to 25 km/h turning southeasterly during the evening.’ It’s not just the India vs Pakistan match that is under threat as the Australia vs New Zealand encounter in Sydney is also in danger of being washed out. According to the Bureau of Meteorology, on Saturday in Sydney, there’s ‘Very high (90%) chance of showers, most likely in the afternoon and evening. The chance of a thunderstorm. Winds northeasterly 15 to 20 km/h increasing to 25 km/h before turning northerly 15 to 20 km/h during the day.’

On Thursday, India’s warm up game against New Zealand in Brisbane had to be abandoned due to incessant rain while Pakistan vs Afghanistan match also met the same fate as the match could not be completed due to the skies opening up.

There is also 60% chance of rain on Friday in Hobart where Ireland face West Indies and Scotland play Zimbabwe in vital matches to decide Super 12 spots. Unlike the semifinals and the final, there are no reserve days for the group stage fixtures so it will be interesting to see how the knockout stages pan out if some matches are washed out.

HDFC Bank adjudged Market Leader in SME Banking and Diversity & Inclusion in India by Euromoney magazine

HDFC Bank Launches Xpressway: the Fastest Way to Bank

HDFC Bank has been adjudged Market Leader in SME Banking as well as Diversity & Inclusion in India, by the prestigious Euromoney magazine, in its inaugural “Market Leaders” rankings.

Euromoney Market Leaders is a new accreditation introduced this year, to independently assess leading financial service providers, in 124 countries globally. The assessment for ‘Market Leaders’ recognition comprises a financial institution’s achievements and capabilities over a longer – term, beyond a 12-month period, unlike awards.

As part of the assessment, Euromoney ranks financial institutions across eight categories:
Investment Banking; Corporate Banking; SME Banking; Islamic Finance; Environmental and Social Governance (ESG); Digital Solutions; Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR); and Diversity & Inclusion. In each category, companies are ranked as per three ranking tiers: Market Leader (Tier-1), Highly Regarded (Tier-2), and Notable (Tier-3).

HDFC Bank has been adjudged Market Leader in two categories among financial institutions in India:

  1. India – SME Banking (Market Leader)
  2. India – Diversity & Inclusion (Market Leader)

“We are delighted to be ranked Market Leader in Diversity & Inclusion among financial
institutions in the country,” says Mr Vinay Razdan, Chief Human Resource Officer, HDFC
Bank. “We have been making focused efforts to increase the proportion of women in middle
management at the bank and have achieved some success. The Bank has more than 134,400 employees, of whom over 21% are women. In the past year the Bank has initiated a number of different programmes to further increase the percentage of women to 25% by the year 2025. This includes accelerated career programmes to identify and coach high-potential female employees.”

“Over the last 7 years, the Bank’s advances to MSME have grown at 31% CAGR. This led to the bank’s market share in advances to MSMEs increasing to nearly 19 %,” says Mr Rahul Shyam Shukla, Group Head – Commercial and Rural Banking, HDFC Bank. “The Bank attributes this to its proactive approach in supporting MSME enterprises’ banking needs such as credit facilities, transaction banking, cross border finance or transactions, investments, retail assets, treasury products etc, in addition to the day to day banking requirements. Consequently, HDFC Bank’s MSME loan book continues to grow at a rate higher than the industry growth rate and yet it has one of the lowest NPA ratio in the industry. Further, the Bank has expanded its MSME footprint to 600 districts across the country from 540, in a span of 18 months, by opening new branches as well as enabling MSME lending / services from more branches. To support the needs of MSME enterprises, the Bank is aggressively participating in Govt of India schemes such as ECLGS, CGTMSE, LGCAS, and AIF, among others.”

Sending too many ‘Good Morning’ messages on WhatsApp? You could get banned for it

WhatsApp bans 26 lakh bad accounts in India as amended IT rules take shape
WhatsApp bans 26 lakh bad accounts in India as amended IT rules take shape

Sending too many ‘Good Morning’ texts on WhatsApp can get you banned. No, this is not click bait. You can actually get banned for doing that. WhatsApp can count it as spam and the app does take down accounts that demonstrate abnormal activities like even forwarding unverified information. These activities are quite prevalent on the messaging application and that is one reason why WhatsApp bans Indian accounts in the millions every month.

What exactly can get you banned on WhatsApp?

While not meaning any ill will, WhatsApp users could end up being on the banned list due
to various reasons. You could be unknowingly spamming your contacts, forwarding
unverified information or overusing WhatsApp’s broadcast lists. These activities violate the company’s Terms of Service, especially if it involves spam, scams or puts WhatsApp users’ safety at risk. According to WhatsApp’s monthly user safety report, over 2.3 million Indian accounts were banned in the month of August alone.

How does WhatsApp decide which account to ban?

WhatsApp claims that it deploys a combination of security measures and processes to help keep users safe on the platform. To do that it applies spam detection technology to spot and take action on accounts engaging in abnormal activities to stop spam. Since the volume of messages is extremely high, it is not possible for a human moderator to keep tabs on the messages that are violating the company’s terms of service. That’s the reason the process is automated.

How to make sure you don’t get banned by WhatsApp?

Forwarding messages: WhatsApp asks its users to check and recheck before forwarding messages. The app has a label for all forwarded messages and limits the number of times you can forward messages as a way to encourage users to reconsider before sharing. If you aren’t sure whether something’s true or don’t know the source of the message, don’t forward it.

Broadcast messaging: WhatsApp asks its users to avoid automated or bulk messages or auto-dial using WhatsApp. WhatsApp uses both machine learning technology and reports from users to detect and ban accounts that send unwanted automated messages. Over-using broadcast lists could also lead to a ban. The feature works only when users have added your phone number to their contact list. Frequent use of broadcast messages may lead people to report your messages, and WhatsApp will ban accounts that are reported multiple times.

Adding people to WhatsApp Groups: WhatsApp suggests that you should get permission from contacts before you add them to a group. If you add someone to a group and they remove themselves, honour their decision. WhatsApp claims that if a contact asks you to stop messaging them, you should remove the contact from your address book and refrain from contacting them again.

Communicate with known contacts: Only send messages to those who have contacted you first or have requested you to contact them on WhatsApp.

Don’t Violate WhatsApp’s Terms of Services: Keep in mind that the reason for an account ban is a violation of WhatsApp’s Terms of Services which includes publishing falsehoods and engaging in illegal, defamatory, intimidating, harassing behavior, among others. For more information or examples of activities that violate WhatsApp’s Terms of Service, you can review the “Acceptable Use of Our Services” section of the Terms of Service.

What to do if your account gets banned by mistake?

-If you find that your account is blocked by WhatsApp, you can take the following steps to resolve the situation:

-Email WhatsApp or tap request a review in the app, WhatsApp will look into your case and get back to you as soon as they complete the review.

-When you request a review in the app, you’ll be prompted to enter a 6-digit registration code sent to you via SMS.

-Once you’ve entered it, you’ll be able to submit your request for a review and add details to support your case.

Jayanti Nagari 2 woman resident faces torture from society members, Beltarodi police

Nagpur: In an incident reported from Jayanti Nagari 2, Besa, a woman in her 40s was allegedly constantly harassed by the society board members. In a statement, she claimed that the pipelines which were connected to her bathrooms were destroyed and after complaining she started receiving several threats from the society members.

When she approached the Gram Panchayat to report the problem, the Gram Panchayat chief refused to send a legal notice to the builder and claimed that he doesn’t receive taxes from her. The incident did not stop here.

After constant threats and torture by the society members and Gram Panchayat head, the 40-year-old decided to approach Nagpur Police, but her complaints went in vain. She alleged that when complained, Beltarodi Senior PI Yadav and PI Sandeep Buwa tortured her and threatened her not to file a complaint against the society members and builders. The Police also threatened to put her in jail or mental asylum if she goes ahead with her decision of filing a complaint.

The resident of Jayanti Nagari 2 further alleged that while questioning, the police used abusive and derogatory language and forced her to change her mind. When filing an FIR, she was not allowed to mention all the names of the accused, she claimed.

When asked about the same to Senior PI Rakesh Yadav, he said that a policeman can never refuse to file a complaint and the allegations levelled against the officers are not valid.

A unique love story of a captor and his hostage, MX Player drops its new show Tu Zakhm Hai

Set against the backdrop of high society and the Delhi crime world, MX Player drops episodes of its thrilling new long format series: Tu Zakhm Hai – an MX Serial.

This pacy story highlights the life of Viraj Trehan (Gashmeer Mahajani) – a Hawala King who runs his illegal operations with an iron fist while hiding behind the facade of a real estate mogul.

They say opposites attract but nobody would’ve imagined the fiercely independent and strong Kavya Grewal (Donal Bisht), cross paths with the prince of white crime – Viraj Trehan, changing life as they knew it.

Circumstances lead Viraj to hold Kavya hostage as a special guest – caged in his dark embrace while love finds mysterious ways to bloom in this otherwise hopeless situation.

But when two diametrically different worlds collide, there are consequences beyond imagination.

Will Viraj be able to straighten his present and blur his past? Will Kavya work through her emotions and accept what’s truly in her heart? Will Kavya and Viraj find common ground that will allow them to coexist in love?

Talking about his character and this series, Gashmeer Mahajani said, This is such an exciting phase in my career, I truly consider myself fortunate to be able to dabble in the world of TV and now on OTT with Tu Zakhm Hai.

Playing Viraj was like being on an emotional rollercoaster, he might be considered a white-collar criminal, but he has so many shades – angry, dominant, loyal yet vulnerable, hes been the most challenging character Ive ever played Passionate to a fault, decisive and empathetic, Kavya Grewal – a clinical psychologist, is played by Donal Bisht.

 Talking about the show, she said, Im so excited to be a part of a project that is so very different – be it the concept of a dark romance which sees so many unexpected twists and turns or be it the fact that its a long format show on an OTT platform with such a wide audience reach.

Google Meet calls can now be transcribed into text

Tech giant Google has announced that Meet calls can now be transcribed into text, and users can further save them in a Google Doc format. According to Android Central, the saved file can be accessed from Google Drive.

Google Meet is one of the most popular apps, especially after replacing the Google Duo app for iOS and Android devices. However, Google has stated the new feature that can be accessed in Google Meet for desktop or laptop clients and is available only for the English language.

Google said the transcribed file can be stored in the same “Meeting Recordings” folder of the Google Meet app from the accompanying Google Drive storage.

Before joining the Google Meet call, attendees will be notified that the call is transcribed. These transcripts are intended to capture the meeting’s discussion, serves as a record, and is helpful as a follow-up to attendees or host if they want to recall a particular segment or point in the whole discussion.

Another nifty feature is that the “transcript will automatically be attached to the associated calendar invite for the meeting”. And for meetings involving more than 200 attendees, the transcribed file will be shared with meeting organisers, hosts, co-hosts, and individual users who initiated a transcription.

The new feature is expected to roll out starting October 24. It will be available to Google Workspace Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Starter, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, and the Teaching and Learning Upgrade customers.

City Autorickshaw’s to have QR codes

The administration intends to install QR codes in the city’s autorickshaws. Passengers will be able to obtain information about drivers and vehicles by scanning the QR code.

This system is already in place in Mumbai, and the state transportation department intends to implement it in all cities, including Nagpur.

“This system will provide all information about the drivers and vehicles to the passengers. When the QR code is scanned, passengers will learn the contact information for autorickshaw drivers, as well as their photo graphs, vehicle permit, and other details “according to sources.

ICC issues ‘Playings Conditions’ for COVID positive players

ICC issues ‘Playings Conditions’ for COVID positive players

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has reportedly made some big changes to rules regarding ‘playing conditions’ for ‘Covid-positive players’ in the Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.

As per latest ICC playing conditions, players will be allowed to play even after testing positive for Coronavirus if cleared by the team doctor, cricket.com.au reported. Also, the team can replace a Covid-positive player in case he doesn’t get the required mandatory clearance from team doctor.

As per the report, if a player tests Coronavirus positive, there won’t be any regular testing for him during the tournament nor will he have to be in isolation. Earlier, a Covid-positive player had to take several Covid tests and was asked to isolate. ICC most likely made changes to rules regarding ‘playing conditions’ as rapid vaccination programs across the world has helped in improving Covid-19 situation.

During the Women’s T20 International final between India and Australia at the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham, Australian women cricketer Tahlia McGrath was allowed to play by the ICC despite testing Covid positive ahead of the match. Organizers in UK dealt with the situation on a case-by-case basis during the event. McGrath was seen sitting separately from rest of her teammates with a mask on. But she later celebrated Australia’s historic Gold medal win with the entire team. Fans might witness a similar thing during T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.

Talking about India’s schedule in the T20 World Cup 2022, the Men in Blue will play its first match against Pakistan on 23rd October. Before match against PAK, India will play two warm-up matches, first against Australia on October 17 at Gabba Stadium in Brisbane and second against New Zealand on October 19.
