Cut throat competition and consumerism are the banes of the fast-paced modern life, born out of advancement in Science and Technology.

Everyone is busy and focused to secure a career and bright future for themselves. In this business, everyone seems to have forgotten the basic morality and ethics.

It must be kept in mind, if our means are wrong, our ends can never be right. Competition and consumerism can never bring anyone is seeking. The most valuable treasure in the world is Peace, Health and Happiness. They can be in hand only through righteousness. Competition and consumerism are antithesis peace, health and happiness.

So, the most ideal approach to live a great life should be doing one’s best without compromising with the morals and ethics. One must never do mean things, think mean thoughts and speak words of any type.

The outcome will always be grand if ones thoughts, words and acts are grand.

Taking to Twitter, the police department had posted pictures of Mitra handing over the brand new violin to Bhagwan Mali. As per the post, Mali also received financial assistance from the department’s Community Policing Wing.

Kolkata man, who mesmerised people with his violin rendition of Bollywood songs, was recently gifted with a brand new violin by Kolkata Police commissioner Soumen Mitra.

Bhagwan Mali was lauded on social media for his soulful rendition after a video of him playing evergreen Bollywood songs likes “Diwana Hua Baadal” and “Ajeeb Dastan Hai Yeh” went viral on Twitter back in June.

Taking to Twitter, the police department posted pictures of Mitra handing over the brand new violin to Bhagwan Mali. As per the post, Mali also received financial assistance from the department’s Community Policing Wing.

“Meet Mr Bhagwan Mali, who is a very talented musician. A few weeks ago, a video of him playing his violin in the city streets, had gone viral on Social Media. Last week, he was financially assisted by our Community Policing Wing. Today,” the department wrote, sharing the pictures.

The pictures received much love on the internet, with many showering words of appreciation to the police department for the heartwarming gesture.

Zydus Cadila, the Ahmedabad-headquartered pharmaceutical company, has approached India’s top drug regulator for restricted emergency approval for ZyCov-D, its three-dose Covid-19 vaccine.

If approved for use, this would be the world’s first DNA vaccine against Covid-19.

The vaccine, which was tested in late-stage human clinical trials involving over 28,000 participants, has been found to have a primary efficacy of 66.6 per cent so far — this means it was able to bring down symptomatic cases of Covid-19 in those who received the vaccine by nearly 67 per cent compared with those who did not receive a vaccine.

Even though this efficacy is lower than that of most other Covid-19 vaccines approved in India, the strength of ZyCov-D lies in its effectiveness against the Delta variant of the virus, Zydus Cadila managing director Dr Sharvil Patel said.

“The study was performed at 50 different clinical sites spread across the country during the peak of the second wave of Covid-19, which reaffirms the vaccine’s efficacy against the new mutant strain, the Delta strain,” Patel said at a press conference on Thursday evening.

The company is testing the vaccine against other variants of concern and interest and, depending on the results and whether these other strains become more infectious or virulent, will decide whether to “upgrade” the vaccine.

Almost 27.61 crore people have been inoculated with at least one dose of vaccine in India so far, the bulk of them being Serum Institute of India’s Covishield. A little more than 28.61 lakh shots were administered on June 30, but vaccinations have averaged over 55.6 lakh doses every day over the 10 days since June 21, when the new vaccination policy kicked in.

Zydus Cadila has also tested ZyCov-D’s safety and ability to prompt an immune response in a trial involving 1,000 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 18 years. However, it is unclear at this stage whether the company is pushing for approval for this age group.

Actor Jacqueline Fernandez says not just her film releases, even her shooting schedule has been affected due to the pandemic.

The pandemic has dealt a blow to the entertainment industry. In the last year and a half, delays in releases and sporadic shoots have wreaked havoc on the lives of all those associated with the film and television industries. Acknowledging the same, actor Jacqueline Fernandez feels that adapting is going to be key.

Talking about what is the way forward for Bollywood, which is also reeling under a lot of stress because of the situation, she says, “Right now the only way forward for the film industry is to adjust. I think that is what it is going to be for everyone. We need to adjust to a new working way of life and the new working way on sets. We need to adjust to the schedules being disrupted.”

Just like most others in the industry, the actor’s release schedule, too, has gone for an absolute toss, owing to the pandemic and subsequent restrictions.

“Work has been affected for everyone,” she points, adding, “For me personally, of course there are movies that needed to be released this year, but the release dates are going to get changed and we can’t do much about it.”

The 35-year-old, whose last release was web film, Mrs. Serial Killer (2020), says not just the release dates, even her shooting schedule has been affected to a large extent.

“There are quite a few films in production stage. There is Cirkus that needs to be completed, and same is the case with Bhoot Police. I had just started the shoot of Ram Setu when the second wave hit us, so that also of course will have to get pushed now,” she laments.

However, Fernandez is not delving too much into these things, as she feels that “health and safety for all” is what should be paramount at present.

“I guess right now, the priority is the war against Covid-19 and making sure that we bring down the cases, and most importantly, get vaccinated. We need to really see to that before we do anything else. When we do decide and when we are finally able to start again, we have to make sure that we are adhering to new ways of doing things,” she concludes with a word of caution.

Kareena Kapoor has shared a video asking Ranbir Kapoor to recreate the towel scene from Jab Se Tere Naina in Saawariya. Watch the video.

Kareena Kapoor has made a special request to her cousin, actor Ranbir Kapoor on Friday. The actor shared a video on her Instagram account, asking Ranbir to recreate his ‘towel item number’, aka Jab Se Tere Naina from the movie Saawariya.

In the video, Kareena Kapoor said, “Oye, you should have thought twice na before taking requests, Ranbir. Anyway, how about reenacting your famous item number. Arre, the one with the towel ya, for both me and Lolo (Karisma Kapoor). And by the way, your item numbers are even more famous than ours.”

Kareena shared with the caption, “I’ve sent my request… now we’ll just have to wait for the famous item number!!” Her video was released as a part of a social media promotional activity for a mobile brand. The brand has roped in Ranbir Kapoor as their brand ambassador. The actor has requested his fans to participate as well.

While it is to see if Ranbir recreates the scene or not, the actor had once revealed that he had taken 70 takes before the shot was passed.

Speaking with Film Companion in 2018, Ranbir had said, “There was a shot in this so-called ‘towel song’ Jab Se Tere Naina, where I had to roll back on this chair and fall down and the towel had to fall in a certain way with my leg showing and there was one shot where I was lying down laughing and I had to get up and sing a song and he’s very particular about what beat you catch, (Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s) a very musical director – you fall on this beat, you lift your head here, you laugh here – everything is musical. I did 45 or 50 takes one day and my back really broke. The next morning when I came back, he said, ‘No, I’ve not got it’ and I had to do another 70 takes.”

The following are the basic fundamentals of information security:

1. Confidentiality
2. Integrity
3. Availability

Every aspect of a security program (and every security control implemented by an organization) should be designed to meet at least one of these principles. The CIA Triad is their standard term.

What is Confidentiality?

Confidentiality measures are in place to prevent unauthorized disclosure of data. The confidentiality principle’s goal is to ensure that private information stays private and can only be read or accessed by those who require it to perform their job obligations.

If an unauthorized individual has access to communication, the message’s confidentiality is jeopardized. Confidential information must be safeguarded. To protect the confidentiality of its data, a business must guard against harmful acts.

Interception causes loss of message confidentially.

What is Integrity?

Integrity refers to the protection of data from unauthorized changes (e.g., additions, deletions, or changes). The integrity principle is intended to ensure that data can be trusted to be accurate and that it has not been tampered with in any way.

An interruption in the system, such as a power surge, might cause undesired changes in certain information, which is not always the consequence of a criminal act.

Modification causes loss of message integrity.

What is Availability?

The term “availability” refers to protecting the operation of support systems and ensuring that data is fully accessible at the point in time (or for the specified duration) when it is required by users. The goal of availability is to guarantee that data is available for decision-making when it is needed. The information must be updated on a regular basis, which demands its accessibility by authorized parties. Information inaccessibility is just as damaging to a company as a lack of secrecy or integrity.

Interruption puts the availability of resources in danger.

The balancing idea is represented in the diagram. To design a safe system, the three aims must be balanced correctly. If the goals aren’t balanced, an opening is created for attackers to undermine the other security goals. If a system is highly secret yet has limited availability, it is not secure.

Example: An organization collects or generates sensitive data for use in its commercial activities. Because the information is sensitive, it should only be accessible to those inside the company who require it to do their duties. Unauthorized persons should not be able to access it. This is an example of the confidentiality principle in action.

When the person who requires that data to execute a work responsibility is ready to use it, it must be easily available (i.e. online) in a fast and reliable manner so that the job assignment may be performed on time and the company’s operations can proceed. This is how the availability concept works.

Finally, the data will be utilized in computations that will influence the organization’s business choices and investments. As a result, data accuracy is important to ensure correct computations and outcomes, which will be used to make judgments. The principle of integrity ensures that data has not been tampered with inappropriately and can thus be trusted when performing computations and making choices.

Arjun Kapoor has spoken about facing a hard time when his best friends in school asked him about his ‘new mom’, late Sridevi. He said that he ‘fought through it’.

Actor Arjun Kapoor has recalled when his best friends in school would ask him about his ‘new mom’, late actor Sridevi. He said that growing up, he went through ‘personal anguish, trauma and upheavals’.

Arjun Kapoor is the son of Boney Kapoor and Mona Shourie Kapoor. He also has a sister Anshula Kapoor. Boney later married Sridevi and had two children with her–Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor.

Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Arjun said, “I have gone through personal anguish. I have gone through personal trauma. I have gone through personal upheavals…Growing up as a kid I had to go through the separation of parents…At that point, it was very hard because my father was a high profile man…and the woman he chose to be with was the biggest superstar India has seen if you combine perhaps all the stardom of all the young actors today you would have her star status. So it was very very high profile.”

He continued, “To be asked by kids, your best friends in school ‘how does it feel having a new mom?’ it’s not easy. It makes you go into a shell. You become more vulnerable about things. Again this is not to create sympathy or a sad story. This is the reality…I fought through it.”

Arjun celebrated his 36th birthday on June 26. A few days later sharing a picture of himself on Instagram he wrote, “Was caught lost in thought at the birthday lunch…What a difference a year makes…A year ago I was deflated, tired & confused, today I sit ready with new energy, vigour & determination to face any curveball life throws my way… I just want to acknowledge all those close to me who have believed in me, supported me & cared for me. My work mates, fans, friends, family & my baby thank u for standing by my side.

He had two releases–Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar with Parineeti Chopra and Sardar ka Grandson along with Rakul Preet Singh this year.

Irrfan Khan’s unreleased film from 2005, Dubai Returns, is all set to release in India, on YouTube. The late actor’s son Babil has made the announcement.

Irrfan Khan’s 2005 film Dubai Return is all set to release, more than 15 years after it was completed in 2005. The movie will get a digital release on Saturday, July 3.

The film was also showcased at the International Film Festival of India in 2005, and was all set for a theatrical release which was cancelled due to unspecified reasons. “I would love to release the film, it’s my great desire to do so. One has been trying to release it over the years. There were technical and legal reasons why we could not release the film at the time, and those reasons still hold. One is trying to see how one can get around these issues,” producer Manya Patil Seth had told Scroll last year.

Irrfan Khan was last seen in Homi Adajania’s Angrezi Medium which released before the pandemic hit Indian shores last year. He has few other unreleased movies, including Anup Singh’s Songs of the Scorpions.

Irrfan died April 29, 2020, after a two-year-long long battle with neuroendocrine tumour. His son, Babil, often treats fans to glimpses from the late actor’s private life. He posts throwback pics and videos from Irrfan’s younger days.
