Slips between cup and lipstick

Most men like the company of women, but RJD leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui is averse to women who cut their hair and wear lipstick. The former finance minister of Bihar told a rally last week that such women will claim every third seat in Parliament and state legislatures that may get to be reserved for women from 2029.

India Pioneered The All-Rounder Concept With 1983 Win

When Roger Binny was appointed president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India last year, his friend Santosh Desai had this to say: "He will do his job quietly, without much fuss. He is no-nonsense in a way, without being confrontational. If he sees incompetency around him, he will quietly call it out." Desai should know, having opened the batting for Karnataka along with Binny in the Ranji Trophy for many years and later partnered him in running the state cricket board.

There's something about Kim-the Jong-un, not the Kardashian. For one, his smiling visage. I do not recall a single picture of him where he is seen as tense, distracted, or scowling. Not even when he met the Donald. There was, I am reliably told, a photographer who once caught him at a bad moment, but then that moment proved to be worse for the photographer.

The artisan as heroine

I first wrote about Monica Shah and Karishma Swali-now known as \"the Chanakya girls\"-in 2019. I was completely fascinated by an embroidery school they had set up in Mumbai's Byculla, formerly part of Girangaon or the textile mill hub that once built the city. The ladies together run The Chanakya School, which invites less privileged women from nearby areas to learn embroidery to upskill them and create employment opportunities.

The minutest details of the high profile nuptials involving the young, dashing MP from the Aam Aadmi Party and the accomplished Bollywood actor, were being avidly discussed across media platforms.
