individual transformation, talking about world peace is just one more form of entertainment. Without attending to individuals, trying to bring about a change in the world always leads to more problems. If there are no peaceful human beings, there is no peaceful world. Today, the world's focus is on economics. Since the planet's resources are limited and our lives are driven by the engine of economics, war is inevitable. Unless subtler aspects of life become important, peace remains a dream. Any destruction of life, beyond the need for one's survival, is violence. Religion and quarrelling cannot go together. Somewhere, we have lost the basic sense of what religion is. True religion is an inward step. But, today, it has become only about belonging to this or that group. This has only brought hatred, conflict and separation among people. What the world needs is not more religions or more followers, but people committed to becoming peaceful themselves.

SpaceX, a company founded by Elon Musk, to launch its newest communication satellite, GSAT-N2. This decision stems from the limitations of India's current launch vehicles, which cannot handle payloads exceeding 4,000 tonnes, as explained by former officials from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The satellite was successfully placed into orbit by SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket from a US launch site. Weighing 4,700 kg, the GSAT-N2 is a high-throughput satellite designed to boost broadband services and in-flight connectivity throughout India, according to NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), ISRO's commercial arm. Former ISRO chairperson K Sivan stated, «The satellite (launched by SpaceX) was a heavier one beyond the capability of ISRO launch vehicles, that's why it has gone outside.» He further explained that ISRO's current capacity is capped at four tonnes, falling short of the 4.7-tonne weight of GSAT-N2. However, Sivan assured that efforts are underway to increase the capabilities of ISRO launch vehicles.

Shalini Passi, the season's new entry from Delhi has become the unexpected star of reality TV show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives (FLBW). Since its release in mid-October, articles have been devoted to cuts of her blouses. Even Kapil Sharma gushes over her on his show, calling her a 'machhli'. In this post-shame world of reality TV, where everyone is letting it all hang out — from Victoria Beckham's WAG lifestyle to Dubai Bling's idle elite — it's intriguing to find someone who stands out by holding on to something resembling values. Passi's debut sees her descending a marble staircase in couture, dressed as Cleopatra no less, referencing ancient Egyptian iconography by holding daggers — even though she may not know that Cleopatra is typically shown with daggers only in death. The detail is telling: Passi resists the 'lady who lunches' label, though she may well be one. She trains in dance and singing, collects art, and even dabbles in painting — though her portrait of journalist Ruchika Mehta didn't quite resemble its subject. Perhaps she was going for something else.

Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in her Netflix documentary, 'Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale'. In a lengthy Instagram post, the ‘Raja Rani’ star called Dhanush “vile” for slamming a legal notice of Rs 10 crore to her and for not having empathy towards her struggles. “Dear Mr. Dhanush K. Raja. S/o Kasthoori Raja, B/o Selvaraghavan. This is an open letter to you in order to set several wrong things right. A well-established actor like you. With the support and blessings of your father and your brother, an ace director needs to read and understand this. Cinema, as we all know, is a fight for survival for people like me: a self-made woman with no links in the industry and someone who had to struggle my way to the position I hold today. I’d owe this to my work ethic, which is no secret to all who know me but more importantly, to the goodwill of the audience and my film fraternity.
