Army gear up! Hold onto your headphones, folks because BIGHIT MUSIC just dropped an electrifying teaser poster. BTS’ youngest member Jeon Jungkook and the iconic Alesso are teaming up for a fresh remix of Jungkook’s latest single Seven. Alesso, the maestro, has infused it with a Progressive House vibe, using rhythmic synth bass and a killer drop that will blend perfectly with Jungkook’s vocals. Mark your calendars: This sonic delight, Seven Ft. Alesso drops August 25, 2023, at 1 PM KST (9:30 AM IST). Get ready to groove! 

Seven featuring Latto has already taken listeners on a genre-bending journey with its multiple remixes, including the vibrant Weekday Version, the infectious Weekend Version, the atmospheric Nightfall Version, and the soothing LoFi Version. Each version has given a new life to the song, transforming it from a bright and poppy tune to a darker, rock-inspired sound. No matter the genre, Seven has undoubtedly kept us grooving, offering a version for every mood.

This track has transcended its summer origins, finding its place not only as a seasonal anthem but also as a club favourite in many parts of the world. The anticipation is now noticeable as fans eagerly await Alesso’s version. With his global DJ reputation and Jungkook’s angelic vocals poised to harmonize with the deep beats, the upcoming version promises to be another sensational evolution of a truly versatile track, TBH I am also very excited.

Jungkook’s sensational solo track ‘Seven,’ dropped on July 14, took the music world by storm, reigning at the top of Billboard’s ‘Global 200’ chart for an impressive five weeks in a row. Garnering a staggering 104.3 million streams in its debut week and a cumulative 400 million streams on the Global 200 chart, the song solidified its position as the number-one track for the fifth consecutive week. Jungkook’s star power shone brilliantly as he achieved the remarkable accomplishment of surpassing 100 million streams for five consecutive weeks on the Billboard Global 200 chart, a groundbreaking achievement that makes him the very first male vocalist across the globe to achieve this astounding record.

Right from its release day, Jungkook has been smashing and setting new records, firmly establishing himself as an iconic soloist from Korea. As whispers of a potential new album circulate for later this year, fans are brimming with confidence that it will certainly become another global sensation, further solidifying Jungkook’s position as a musical sensation on the global stage.

Raksha Bandhan, a luminous thread of love, ties together millions of hearts across India, every year. Sisters lovingly tie the rakhi which is a sacred band, around their brothers’ wrists, symbolising protection and affection. In return, brothers pledge to guard their sisters from all adversities. However, this is not just an exchange of gifts and sweets, it goes beyond that. The festival delves deep into ancient traditions, recounting tales of heroic deeds and divine interventions. Over the colourful rakhis and delectable treats, lies the essence of a bond that is unbreakable. It is a day where age-old stories are relived, teasing banter is exchanged, and promises are renewed. In an age of fleeting digital connections, Raksha Bandhan serves as a poignant reminder of the everlasting bond of siblings. As families gather, laughter echoes, and the essence of this day is felt, protection, love, and the joy of togetherness are celebrated.

Just like every year, this year as we gear up to celebrate the festival this year, a lot of confusion is floating around that needs clarification. The Shubh Muhurat (correct time to tie rakhi), what is the date of the celebration, is it 30 or 31? All this is going around. 

 Well, scroll down to know all of those details! 

When to celebrate: The Shubh Muhurat

Mark your calendars, this year, Raksha Bandhan lights up our hearts on Wednesday, August 30th. However, here is a twist: due to the Bhadra Kaal, you can even celebrate those sibling moments on August 31st. This joyous festival shines brightest on the full moon day, Rakhi Purnima. Want to catch that perfect moment? The full moon glows from 10:58 AM on August 30th till 7:05 AM the next day. But hang tight! Due to Bhadra coinciding with the moon, the best time for those cherished Rakhi rituals is post 9:01 PM on August 30th. If you miss the magic hour, do not worry! August 31st, before 7:05 AM, has your back. In total, you have got a generous ten hours and four minutes for the Raksha Bandhan festivities.

How to celebrate: The Rituals 

1. Ladies, have your brother facing west and ask him to put a handkerchief or scarf on his head. 

1. Line up your rakhi essentials – the rakhi, roli, diya, chawal, and, of course, those tempting sweets.
2. Then place a roli tilak on your brother’s forehead and apply some aromatic Akshat (raw chawal with a hint of turmeric or sandalwood).
3. Light up the diya, tie the rakhi on his left wrist and let those chocolates be the sweet surprise as he holds a coconut in his right hand.
4. Await your brother’s heartfelt gifts and cherish his vow to have your back, always. For gift ideas read: 10 Best Gifts for Your Siblings on this Raksha Bandhan

New ways to celebrate beyond traditional Rakhi 

1. Memory Lane- Turn the festive celebration into ‘memory lane’ day, pull out childhood photos, reminisce about shared stories, and maybe even recreate a few pictures. 
2. Personalize gifts- Instead of just a rakhi, craft a DIY bracelet or piece of art. Or else you can get them something they deeply desire. 
3. Quality Time- Cook a meal together, blending each sibling’s favourite dish. Venture out for a bonding day trip, explore nature, or tackle a joint hobby.
4. Plan a Trip- Go on a short trip or staycation and spend time with your siblings and cousins. 

Finding the perfect Rakhi

Dive into local markets adorned with vibrant threads and intricate designs that capture the essence of this special occasion because nothing beats the stroll through the market. If you want to save time then explore online platforms where a click gives you a myriad of options, letting you choose rakhi styles that resonate with your sibling’s personality. Whether it is traditional, modern, or personalized, make sure the rakhi reflects your affection. Seek out recommendations, read reviews, and compare prices to make an informed choice. Remember, it is not just a thread but a symbol of your heartfelt emotions. So, go ahead, find that unique rakhi and make this festival unforgettable!

In the heart of it all, Raksha Bandhan is more than just rituals and rakhis; it is a celebration of bonds that defy distance, time, and odds. This year, with the dance of the moon and the play of the calendar, we have two days to bask in the glow of sibling love. Whether you are picking out the perfect rakhi, reminiscing over old memories, or crafting new ones, remember the essence of the day: unconditional love and unwavering protection. As rakhis are tied, sweets are shared, and stories are exchanged, let us raise a toast to the age-old tradition that only grows richer with time. Here is to a Raksha Bandhan filled with laughter, memories, and boundless love!

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr has made a dramatic entrance in this season’s AFC Champions League group stage just at the right moment. The Saudi Pro League made an amazing comeback with a 4-2 beat that was faced by Shabab Al Ahli (Dubai-based club) on Tuesday, 22 August in Mrsool Park. 

Does Ronaldo’s team have a chance to play Mumbai City FC, the only Indian club competing in the Champions League? There is a chance that they will be placed in the same group as the Islanders, who are in Pot 3 in the West Zone.

The Saudi giants, who had opened the scoring through Anderson Talisca, soon found themselves down a goal when Yahya Al Ghassani scored again. But Cristiano Ronaldo’s team was able to tie the score thanks to a goal from Sultan bin Abdullah in the 88th minute, and shortly after that, Talisca and Marcelo Brozovic scored two goals in succession to complete the incredible comeback.

Al-Nassr has now officially committed to playing in the AFC Champions League in 2023–24 as a result of their triumph. Along with former winners Al Ain FC of the United Arab Emirates, they were placed in Pot 4 of the West Zone.

After defeating Neymar’s new club Al Hilal, Al-Nassr FC most recently claimed the Arab Club Champions Cup title. The fighting spirit was evident despite their less than resolute performance against Shabab Al Ahli. 

The other big news for the Indian Football fans is that more than 5 UEFA Champions may come to India to play against Mumbai FC during the AFC Champions League among which names like- Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr., Karim Benzema and more.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chandrayaan-3 moon mission successfully soft-landed today at due time, 6.04 PM. India scripted history by becoming the first nation to land the Indian Space Research Organisation’s Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on the Moon’s south pole, days after a Russian probe Luna-25 crashed in the same region.

Chandrayaan-3 was launched on July 14. Before India, only the United States, Russia and China have achieved a soft-landing on the surface of the Earth’s only natural satellite.

A momentous day for India’s most determined moon mission, because Chandrayaan-3 is all set to make a soft landing on the south pole of the lunar surface on Wednesday. All the Indians throughout the world regardless of any boundaries are eagerly waiting and praying for the successful landing of this mission. The successful landing opened the gate for India to be in an elite list of successful nations (United States of America, Soviet Union, and Republic of China) who landed on the moon. However, this landing will also create history, as this will be the first spacecraft in the history of mankind to land on the south pole of the lunar surface. Despite being at the BRICS Summit in South Africa, PM Modi will be virtually present at this historical event. 

In its current position, Chandrayaan-3 is heading towards the moon 25 km from the shortest point of the moon and 134 km from the longest. Space pundits believe that the last 20-25 minutes will be very crucial for the Vikram lander while landing on the moon’s surface. Looking at the history of Indian space history, Chandrayaan-2 failed during landing in the final 20 minutes. In the final stage of landing the process becomes autonomous, where the lander has to ignite its engine at the right time and right altitude. During this process, no one can do anything, so ISRO is very cautious about this process. 

Former ISRO scientist and Padma Shri awardee Mylswamy Annadurai said that things are going well so far and it is expected to do well in the mission. He added “I am also eagerly waiting, as per plan we must be able to land on the moon. After the discovery of water by Chandrayaan 1 the world was trying to look at the moon differently and was curious about many things.”

Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander is ready for a soft landing on the south pole of the Moon around 6:04 pm IST on August 23. People all over the world can watch the live landing from 5:20 pm IST. This mission will spark curiosity in the youth of the country about space exploration. In case of uncertainty in the landing, the next planned date for landing would be after 4 days i.e. 27th August. ISRO will decide a few hours before the landing whether everything is suitable for the landing or not.

KK’s enchanting magic lives vibrantly in our hearts always no matter how many years pass away. He had the uncanny gift of crafting songs for every human emotion be it love, melancholy, joy, friendship, or hope. Seriously, play his tracks on repeat and I will be in musical bliss. Tragically, on May 31, 2022, during a mesmerizing gig in Kolkata’s collage, we lost this legend too soon. Yet, his melodies are timeless, reminding us of the unyielding power that emotions have. As we approach his 55th birth anniversary on August 23, 2023, let us immerse ourselves in the magic of how KK serenaded our souls with tunes for every sentiment. 

• Falling in love- Remember those fluttery feelings during our teen years and early college days? Just a glimpse of that special someone set our hearts racing. For expressing those emotions words often fell short. But KK’s soulful tune hits like ‘Aankhon Mein Teri’, ‘Khuda Jaane’, and ‘Dil Ibaadat’ resonate with the magic of love and expressed those emotions in an amazing manner. They paint a vivid picture of cherishing every moment with your beloved. More than just songs, they are a poem about the vitality love brings. Honestly, KK’s tracks make you fall head over heels for love itself!   

• Friendship- From the moment we step out from under our parents’ wing, friendship greets us with open arms. It is a bond that, for many, is as important as families. While diving into KK’s melodies, you will hear the soul-stirring beauty of friendships that span miles. Amongst KK’s many songs for pals, ‘Yaaron’ stands out, taking centre stage at high school reunions. Honestly, because really, what is a farewell without its heart-tugging chords? Sure, friendship is not just a flowery path; it is sprinkled with tiny spats. However, the songs by KK remind us that through thick and thin, it remains unbreakable. 

• Heartbreak- Love’s journey is a rollercoaster of emotions, inevitably intertwined with heartache. It is a path filled with ups and downs, testing our resilience. Well mastermind KK had some tracks that encapsulate the pain like no other. One can transport themselves to the notes of ‘Tadap Tadap’ from the 1999 film ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam,’ where Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan’s chemistry mirrors heartbreak’s profound depths. In contrast, the song from ‘Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein’ explores a commitment to shield oneself from love’s touch again. Well, the man truly had songs deciphering heartbreak also in multiple ways.  

• Party bangers- Prepare to be amazed by the incredible range showcased by KK, as his dynamic vocals ignited the hottest party anthems of the era. His electrifying tunes permeated every club and dance floor in our vicinity, setting the stage for unforgettable dance parties. KK’s distinctive voice takes centre stage in the chart-topping track ‘Dus Bahane’ a song that dominated the airwaves in 2015. Such was its impact that it was reborn as ‘Dus Bahane 2.0’ for the blockbuster movie Baaghi 3, featuring the talents of Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor. Adding to the musical tapestry, Gunday’s ‘Tune Maari Entriyaan’ wove its magic with catchy lyrics and an unforgettable choreography, cementing its place as a well-loved sensation. The legendary artist’s voice definitely could range across different emotions and I am amazed. 

Celebrating KK’s melodic brilliance, we’re reminded of life’s every heartbeat – from youthful romance and the warmth of friendships to heartbreak’s wrenching grip and party nights we won’t forget. His songs are more than just lyrics; they have become our anthems for love, camaraderie, sorrow, and celebration. As we mark his 55th birth anniversary, we toast to a legend whose voice danced through our most intimate memories. 

The Karnataka State Government has decided to remove the NEP (National Education Policy) 2020 from the state. The State Government will introduce its ‘Karnataka Education Policy’ next year. The information was shared by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. Speaking to the media today, Mr. Shivakumar said, “We have studied several aspects of the National Education Policy passed by the BJP and decided to withdraw it. We will bring a new Karnataka education policy next year.” Since its formation, the State Government has had a tussle with the Central Government in almost every policy implemented by the union. The Congress government believed that the previous BJP government with the help of the Central Government imposed the agenda of RSS through this education model. 

Dep. CM Shivakumar said the matter was a State matter, “Our State always played a very important role in education. We have a strong presence in human resources because we are a capital of knowledge. We have the most international schools, top schools, engineering colleges, medical colleges and nursing schools. We have developed our system to provide quality education. We stood out across the country. So, today we looked at all these aspects and decided to reject the National Education Policy (NEP) passed by the BJP government. We will implement the new education policy of Karnataka from next year.” According to the Congress, this is not National Education Policy, this is Nagpur Education Policy.  

BJP MP and National Youth Wing president Tejaswi Surya said, “Congress decision to end NEP in Karnataka reflects their intentions to stop the growth of Kannada; prevent students from getting academic marks; stop interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to education.” “CM Siddaramaiah needs to think again before taking such political decisions and save the children from his petty politics. It is unfortunate that despite having so many ‘advisers’ Karnataka and especially the children have to go through this decision level and suffer under this government,” he added.

A few days ago Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah also expressed his disbelief in the Central Government and its education policy, he said that the government wants the saffronisation of the education system by promoting the agenda of RSS. Implementation of SEP (State Education Policy) was a part of our election manifesto and we are looking forward to fulfilling our promises. We also undo the changes that were made in the syllabus. In August 2021, the Basavraj Bommai-led BJP government implemented the NEP in higher education and became the first state to adopt the policy.
