This never-ending sequence becomes the source, the wellspring, for renewal and endless optimism.

David Dhawan's 1997 Judwaa — a film Tarkovsky never lived to see, though I like to imagine he shook a leg to Disco Dancer tunes like other Russians. The clip in question had the 'Chalti hai kya nau se baara' line. I was sucked right in. I must have listened to the full song a few dozen times between then and now — and watched the scene, which has two Salman Khans performing increasingly manic dance steps. I loved the tune, rhythm, lyrics with their evocation of old-world memories like iced Mangola, but also the visuals. The audacity of it, the crass maleness, the Salman-ness, and the fantasy scenes in the police station where Anupam Kher and other cops are both moral-policing and dancing along (because multiple possibilities can co-exist in this sort of sequence).

Trump. The former president, known for his unpredictable policies, has proposed granting Green Cards to foreign graduates. The announcement has caught the attention of many, especially within the international student community. Currently, many international students face uncertainty about their ability to remain in the US after completing their studies. A guaranteed Green Card would eliminate this worry, providing a clear path to permanent residency and potentially boosting the number of international students applying to US universities. Promises to ease immigration restrictions for students and skilled workers are not new. Over the years, various US administrations have made similar commitments, often with mixed results. For instance, the Obama administration introduced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provided temporary relief to young immigrants. However, it faced numerous legal challenges and its future remains uncertain. During his 2016 campaign, Trump promised to end the H-1B visa program, claiming it was being abused by companies to hire cheap foreign labour at the expense of American workers. This promise was popular among certain voter bases but caused significant concern among tech companies and international students who rely on these visas to work in the US after graduation. Despite his tough stance, the H-1B program remains largely unchanged, highlighting the complexities and political manoeuvring involved in immigration reform.
