The unnamed narrator of Geetanjali Shree’s novel Our City That Year (recently translated by Daisy Rockwell from the original Hindi, Hamara Sheher Us Baras, 1998) tells us the story of three young people—writer Shruti, her sociologist husband Hanif and their friend/landlord Sharad, who is also Hanif’s colleague—struggling to respond to communal violence in their unnamed city. The book’s fourth principal character is Daddu, Sharad’s retired father, a genteel, progressive, profoundly moral figure.

Clearly, the man had thought about this quite a lot, to the point of harbouring the kind of concern that people with less money and thinner mattresses keep hidden under their mattress. His reply was honest and disarming. 'It's like driving' — what he meant was 'being driven in' — a Porsche on pothole-ridden roads. Everywhere I go, I'm admired and resented in equal measure.' I honestly expected him to say that India was no longer a poor country and quote the likes of Surjit Bhalla. His candour impressed me. Being very, very rich in a poor country — poor being not so much in abstract, theological GDP terms, but in its look, smell and feel — has its unique pressures. One would think that it would be more comfortable being super-rich here, like Napoleon hanging out with seven dwarves. But it turns out that it's more like being Beethoven at a jagran.

Supreme Court on Tuesday objected to the West Bengal government's 'Rattierer Saathi' programme which stipulated that working hours of women should not exceed 12 hours at a time and prescribed avoiding night duty. A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra expressed surprise that the state government has issued such a notification. The top court said if men are working in more that 12-hour shift, women doctors are also entitled to do so. «How can you say that women will not work in night shifts? Women will have objection if you stop them from working in the night,» it said.

The mindsets must move from making concessions for women to recognising their entitlement to lead lives based on freedom and equality. We must zealously guard against apparently protective laws infringing women's liberties and choices," the CJI said.

Kamala Harris's debate night jewelry resembles its own Bluetooth devices, adding fuel to the conspiracy theory about her earrings. The company even offered to create orange ones for Donald Trump. Following Tuesday's presidential debate, rumors on social media have taken off like wildfire, claiming that Harris, 59, was given clip-on audio headphones disguised as pearl earrings for her confrontation with the former president, 78. The vice president was allegedly seen wearing a pair of Icebach Sound Solutions' Bluetooth earbuds, which the company is based in Germany. This claim prompted the company to comment on the now-viral story. They are unsure if Mrs. Harris wore any of our merchandise. The similarity is obvious, and even though their product was not created with presidential debates in mind, it is appropriate for them, Malte Iversen, managing director of Icebach, joked in a statement to tech publication Tom's Guide. They're working on a male version right now, and they should be able to provide it to the Trump campaign soon to make sure there are equal opportunities for both candidates. However, choosing a color can be difficult because orange doesn't go well with many other hues.

Donald Trump's chances of winning the November election are growing. This was predicted before the presidential debate. With a 60.1 percent chance of winning the Electoral College, Silver's prediction from last week gave Trump his best chance of winning since the end of July. Kamala Harris had a 39.7 percent chance. The forecast indicates that since then, Trump's chances of winning have grown, with a 64.4 percent chance to Harris' 35.3 percent in the Electoral College. The model also reveals that the Republicans have made a comeback in each of the swing states within the last week, with the increase varying from 0. 3 to 1.2. The former president is expected to win all seven swing states, or so-called battleground states. The model predicted that both Harris and Trump would be equally close in Wisconsin and Michigan last week. It also shows that while Harris will garner 256 electoral votes to Trump’s 282, the likelihood that she will sweep all of it in terms of popular vote share has slightly lessened from 58 to 56 %.
