London's culinary classics: Unravelling the unique connection between curry, crime, and the Criterion
The Times of India reported it “was crowded by the representatives of almost every phase of London’s life”. It was meant to be a meeting point for anyone interested in India — and Indian food. Even after curry houses started opening across Britain, serving their versions of Indian food, the India Club’s restaurant was known for more authentic desi food. But time, and London’s soaring real estate market, have caught up with the India Club, and it is due to close today. This is sad, but no reflection on the popularity of real Indian food in the UK, as another opening shows. Masala Zone, an outpost of the UK restaurant group partly led by Indian hospitality legend Camellia Panjabi, has opened at The Criterion, one of the city’s most fabled restaurant locations.

North Korea's Kim Jong Un inspects Russian bombers and a warship on a visit to Russia's Far East
Kim Jong Un inspected Russia's nuclear-capable bombers, hypersonic missiles and an advanced warship from its Pacific fleet on Saturday as he continued a trip in Russia's Far East that has sparked Western concerns about an arms alliance that could fuel President Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine. After arriving in the city of Artyom by train, Kim traveled to an airport just outside the port city of Vladivostok where Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and other senior military officials gave him an up-close look at Russia's strategic bombers and other warplanes. All the Russian warplanes shown to Kim on Saturday were among the types that have seen active use in the war in Ukraine, including the Tu-160, Tu-95 and Tu-22 bombers that have regularly launched cruise missiles.

AAP claims SAD-BJP alliance 'finalised', Akalis slam misinformation
AAP on Saturday claimed that the SAD and the BJP have already «finalised» an alliance in Punjab and are waiting for a suitable time to announce it. Malvinder Singh Kang, the AAP's chief spokesperson in Punjab, claimed that former Union minister and Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal initiated efforts to seal the alliance. He also said that leaders of the two parties met in Delhi 15 days ago to discuss the terms of the coalition. The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), however, rubbished the claims with senior party leader Daljit Singh Cheema slamming the AAP for spreading misinformation to «divert attention from the AAP and the Congress' unprincipled and unholy alliance». Both the Congress and the AAP are part of the opposition INDIA bloc. Kang claimed in a statement on Saturday, «The terms of the alliance are already decided… the BJP does not want SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal and his brother-in-law Bikram Singh Majithia to contest the Lok Sabha elections.» «People in the BJP know the obvious dislike the people of Punjab have for these two leaders,» he said. Kang also claimed that «behind the curtain», the BJP and the SAD were «always one and never separated». The SAD broke off its ties with the BJP over the now-repealed farm laws in 2020.

Rapper Jeezy files for divorce from former TV host Jeannie Mai. This is what happened
Jeezy has filed for divorce from former TV host Jeannie Mai after two and a half years of marriage, media reports said. The divorce petition was filed on September 14 at Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was the first to report the news. The couple has a prenup in place, and Jeezy is seeking joint custody of their 1-year-old daughter, Monaco. According to the filed document, Jeezy and Jeannie Mai are currently living separately, and their marriage is irretrievably broken with no chance of reconciliation. The couple first met in 2018 when Jeannie Mai was a host on The Real, but they kept their relationship private. In 2019, they confirmed that they were dating, and in the following year, they announced their engagement. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, their wedding plans in France had to be changed, and they had an intimate ceremony at their Georgia home in 2021. Jeannie Mai explained the change of plans in an interview with Vogue in April 2021, saying, «We were really looking forward to having all of our friends and family there to celebrate. But we had to change all of our wedding plans due to COVID. After Jeezy’s mother unexpectedly passed, we quickly learned that life is too short. And at the end of the day, Jeezy and I really just wanted to become husband and wife. So we decided to turn our original wedding into a mini-mony, where we exchanged our vows in front of our immediate family and a few close friends.» In the beginning of 2022, Jeezy and Jeannie Mai welcomed their first child. Jeannie Mai shared the news on Instagram, saying, «I asked God for a life of love and happiness. He sent me my family. Baby Jenkins is here.»
