GOING by the numbers, Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation's (Tangedco) spending on power purchase is increasing by nearly ₹2,000 crore every fiscal.

As per the data accessed by TNIE, the utility's expenses for power purchases increased from ₹47,987.89 crore in March 2021 to ₹49,829.35 crore in 2022. Experts warn that the power procurement costs could continue to rise in the upcoming years due to the delay in executing significant power generation projects.

Vijay Antony's next titled Gagana Maargan
We had earlier reported that Vijay Antony will next star in editor Leo John Paul's directorial debut. On Wednesday, the makers of the film announced that it has been titled Gagana Maargan. Billed as a murder mystery-crime thriller, the upcoming film is the 12th production of Vijay Antony Films Corporation. The makers assure that even with the thriller premise, the Vijay Antony-starrer will have family friendly elements and will delve into the world of detective fiction. The title Gagana Maargan translates to \"one who travels through the air\" in the Siddhar dictionary, according to a press statement shared by the makers.
Merrily we roll along!
MAN has always had a fascination with the wheel. That timeless symbol has revolutionised transport, machinery, and every aspect of our lives. Not surprisingly, it has become a strong cultural metaphorical symbol of the circle of life of time, of progress, and much much more. Not surprisingly, it has found its way into play in the form of the hoop; after all, play is merely a reflection of life and thinking.

Chloe and South Africa in pursuit of a date with destiny
CHLOR Tryon was over the moon. After all, she had taken a stunner to dismiss Australian captain Meg Lanning at the packed Newlands Stadium in the 2023 T20 World Cup final. With a shortish ball from Marizanne Kapp on offer, Lanning had almost nailed a pull shot before Tryon sprinted from deep backward square leg to complete the catch. Such was the occasion that she roared her heart out facing the crowd who had turned the stadium into a South African party.
