Murshid, a young adventure motorcyclist & entrepreneur, inspiring the young generations

The India Saga Saga |

When you meet Murshid for the first time, you do not assume much, with his calm demeanor and his grounded but confident appearance. Spend 2 minutes with him and you start realizing the multi-faceted and multi-skilled person he is. One minute he is coordinating a national race, the next minute he is shooting a vlog for his Youtube channel and then jumping on to a Google Meet call with stakeholders spread across South East Asia and the Middle East. This is the trailer to a serial winner; an entrepreneur, a race promoter, a performance rider, a social media influencer, and a family man.

Murshid, or Murshikka to his lacs of fans, started very young with stunting in the early 2000s. Back then, accessing a 150 cc motorcycle was a challenge. Murshid and his team, the Bandit Bikers, would borrow or modify motorcycles and perform daredevil stunts in empty plots, highways, and soon after at sold-out venues. Stunting was still considered a miscreant act and usually met with frowns and general disapproval. With avenues opening up, Murshi made a name for himself and soon rose through the ranks in India and even got an opportunity to ride and perform with the legendary Chris Pfeiffer. Being someone who is never satisfied with immediate achievements, Murshid set his eyes on organizing and conducting races. Murshid chuckles when he says a race conducted by racers is a lot more exciting than one conducted by brands or established organizations. Murshid and his team conducted a sold-out event in 2019 titled the Dirt Xtreme. Dirt Xtreme in its single year garnered a serious name for itself in the dirt racing and stunting community. The team is all geared for a re-run once the pandemic-related restrictions lift. One can see the glint in Murshid’s eyes when he speaks about the upcoming events.

One of the challenges that plagued riders starting their careers was accessibility to quality riding gear and accessories. Murshid and his team identified this gap and started ‘Bandidos Pitstop’ in 2014. Today, Bandidos Pitstop is India’s largest superstore when it comes to all things motorcycles. One can walk in and leave with riding gears, motorcycle accessories, performance parts, riding accessories, maintenance tools, and often a friendly chat with Murshid. The founders still carry the same passion they had when the doors to the establishment opened and are usually at the door or in the garage catching up with the team or fellow riders turned customers. Bandidos Pitstop ventured into the e-commerce space in 2018 paving the way for a wider footprint and more satisfied riders and customers. The store is considered the “Biker’s Candyland” always catering something sweet and satisfying for every rider that stops by.

In 2018 Murshid started vlogging his race days and promotion events on Youtube and posting actively on Instagram. His candid style, honesty in delivery, and a no-frills approach to work and riding garnered a large fan following; more than 250K across Youtube and Instagram, the last we counted. Murshid giggles and looks away when we discuss popularity and fame. He considers the followers and subscribers as part of his team and community. He is excited while talking about the events and awareness programs lined up for the community. There are Murshikka fan pages that constantly post dedication posts and an avid set of riders who believe in Murshid and his message. While driving through Thrissur, we noticed a few riders slow down next to Murshid’s customized Thar and wave and smile. Murshid parts his legendary long hair and smiles while acknowledging all the love.

Murshid and his team are planning a revolution in terms of race procedures, the race calendar, and race experience. The retail team is working towards building a state-of-the-art shopping, testing, and engagement experience for the community. When we ask what is up next for Murshid, he just smiles as always and responds ‘follow me on Instagram @murshid_bandidos”, his sign-off catchphrase.

The India Saga Saga |

With the overwhelming number of options for purchasing electronics, it can be difficult for consumers to determine which brand is the best fit for their needs.

But as we shopped around for the best products at the best prices, we noticed that it was often a challenge to find everything we needed in one place. We also found that many stores lacked knowledgeable staff who could help us make informed decisions.

 

Along with that, there were few bad actors in the market who sell these high end home theatre devices online but were well known for bad experience and not providing the warranty for the products purchased.

 

That’s when we had an idea: What if we created our own online destination for all things home entertainment? A place where people could find a wide range of products from top brands, as well as expert advice and excellent customer service.

The India Saga Saga |

Keshari Nath Tripathi, 88, a veteran BJP Leader who was three-time Speaker of Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly and who also held post of Governor of West Bengal, died on Sunday due to prolonged illness. 

 

Incumbent Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath was seen paying his homage and tribute to the Veteran BJP Leader from UP, Keshari Nath Tripathi, who died at the age of 88 due to prolonged illness. Tripathi, who has held different positions in his long political career such as the speaker of UP Legislative Assembly, Governor of West Bengal, Bihar, Meghalaya and Mizoram,was hospitalised a few days ago after he fractured his hand and for treatment of age-related ailments as well. However, he was discharged from the hospital three days back. On Sunday, the news came that he passed away at his residence in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. 

 

The mortal remains of KN Tripathi were cremated with full state honours at the Daraganj ghat later on Sunday evening and UP CM Yogi Adityanath was present at the final cremation of veteran BJP leader. Neeraj Tripathi, the son of KN Tripathi, lit the funeral pyre in the presence of few other family members that included both his daughters, daughter-in-law and sons-in-law. Apart from them, senior district level officials and several other senior BJP leaders including present and former MPs, seers, members of the lawyer fraternity and Tripathi’s old friends were also present at the Daraganj Ghat.

 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his sorrow and described Tripathi as the key man in building the BJP in Uttar Pradesh.Taking it to Twitter, PM Modi tweeted “Shri Keshari Nath Tripathi Ji was respected for his service and intellect. He was well versed in Constitutional matters. He played a key role in building BJP in UP and worked hard for the state’s progress. Pained by his demise. Condolences to his family and admirers. Om Shanti.”

 

KN Tripathi was born on November 10, 1934 in  UP’S Prayagraj district and was also a senior advocate at the Allahabad High Court. At the age of 12, he joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and later switched to Bharatiya Jana Sangh. In 1953, he was sent to Naini Central Jail in 1953 for participating in the ‘Kashmir Andolan’ and again in 1990, he was jailed a second time for participating in the mega Ram Janmabhoomi movement.

 

Tripathi was a proactive leader who was admired across ranks and files in the Saffron Party. The former Governor of West Bengal was elected as an MLA for the first time in 1977 from Jhunsi Assembly constituency in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj district. Later, he went on to win six more Assembly elections and his last victory was in 2002 from Allahabad South seat in Prayagraj. He contested the 2007 and 2012 Assembly polls too but faced defeat both the times.

 

When he was in the chair of the Governor of West Bengal at the Raj Bhawan in Kolkata, he shared quite an eye-to-eye relationship with Chief Minister of Bengal, Mamata Banerjee who accused the Governor of threatening her over a call regarding the riot in North 24 Parganas. Tripathi, however, denied the allegation. Mamata, on Sunday, Tweeted “I extend my deepest condolences on the passing of Shri Keshari Nath Tripathi ji, former Governor of West Bengal. A man of great substance, his contributions to our country will remain etched in all our minds. I pray his soul rests in peace.”

The self-made star- DJ DYNAMIKE (Richard Dimonti) DJ & Music Producer

The India Saga Saga |

No boundaries can limit the spread of love through music. Be it a toddler or an adult, one genre that makes us all hop is electric music. Unfortunately, have current songs been letting you down? You’re not alone. We all need a little extra help cheering ourselves up from time to time. Luckily, DJ DYNAMIKE came to our rescue.

 

Richard Dimonti, also known as DJ DYNAMIKE, is a well-known name in the music industry. His journey started with fascination; when he saw Skrillex is playing at a music festival in Miami, he knew he wanted to become nothing else but a DJ & Music Producer. Then onward, with sheer dedication, Richard worked towards becoming one. His hard work was rewarded in 2014, when his first live show was filmed for national television.

 

This not only made Richard’s name more prominent but also got him his early contracts. Later, DJ Dynamike started performing in clubs, college festivals, youth festivals, celebrations, and what not. From scheduling meetings with club managers to learning music production from the online platform, he worked toward his vision in life. Today, he has successfully launched his four songs on premium platforms like Spotify & Apple Music & Beatport, and did we mention? People loved it! Richard has a simple rule: play for the audience and enjoy with the audience. DJ Dynamike has been doing frequent international tours in Qatar, focusing on the audience’s pleasure. Electronic dance music and rap songs being his niche, Richard creates a strong fan base wherever he goes. Be it a crowd of 4000 college students dancing in Tripura or New Year’s Eve 2023 in Mysore with over 5000 people.

 

Richard mentions about his mother. “She’s definitely the biggest blessing in my life”. “No matter how far I am or how fast my life is spinning, the moment I pause and turn around, we will always find her smiling and standing right there by my side.” Every mother is proud of such talent! Passion is powerful. It can often take control of your life, and it feeds you into taking big risks, which proved right for Richard. We can see the passion for music in Richard’s eye; it’s no less than a burning flame. Constantly living and breathing for music, DJ Dynamike is setting bars in the world of music. In this modern era, we need such talents as Richard Dimonti to come forward and inspire the youth and even make them dance to his tunes.

 

Supreme Court puts on hold Eviction in Haldwani, says can’t uproot 50,000 people in a week

The India Saga Saga |

The Apex Court has put a stay on the Eviction of 50,000 people in Haldwani and has noted that the issue has an ‘Human Angle’ attached to it.

 

The Supreme Court Thursday put a hold on the Eviction Drive in Haldwani. Stating that 50,000 people from 4,000 families cannot be evicted in a week’s time, the Apex Court stopped the order issued by the Uttarakhand High Court that had given a green signal for eviction.

 

The Apex Court stated, “There cannot be uprooting of 50,000 people overnight… It’s a human issue, some workable solution needs to be found. Referring to the suggestion by the High court of using force to evict the people, the Supreme Court said, “It may not be correct to say that paramilitary forces have to be deployed to remove people who have been living there for decades.”

 

With the order issued by the Supreme Court, there is a sign of relief and joy among the families residing in the encroached land that belongs to the Railways. Fatima Khatoon, a 26-years-old woman, who was filled with joy, stated, “These are the tears of joy and a sign of relief as all of the families residing here were under great stress. The order by the Supreme Court has brought hope that we will get justice.”

 

Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice AS Oka of the Apex Court took up the case a day after activist-lawyer Prashant Bhushan made a formal request. The court has also put a hold on any construction activity in the area and sought responses from the Railways and the Uttarakhand government. It also said the case will be heard again next month.

 

The area in Haldwani covers a 2-km strip of land near the Haldwani railway station – Gafoor Basti, Dholak Basti and Indira Nagar, in Banbhulpura area. Besides houses – nearly half of the families claim to have a land lease – the area even has four government schools, 11 private schools, a bank, two overhead water tanks, 10 mosques, and four temples, besides shops, built over decades.

Her popularity has no bounds, from Hollywood to Bollywood, she has always been the talk of the town. Even though Deepika has always charmed audiences with her beauty she still had her fair share of struggles as well. From being made fun of for speaking about her mental issues to her bad breakup becoming a gossip topic, life was not always easy for her. However, just as phoenix always rises from the ashes to mark its victory, Deepika Padukone also always came back stronger than the 90s trend. With a career of over 15 years, the diva has given Bollywood a few of its blockbuster hits.

 

So as she turns a year older, let us have a look at five of the best movies through which she proved herself. 

 

1. Bajirao Mastani (2015)

 

 

This periodical romance tale introduced everyone to the story of Maratha warrior Bajirao whose role was played by Ranveer Singh and his second wife Masatni whose role was played by Deepika Padukone. Be it the storyline, costumes, songs, dialogues or sets, everything was praised by the audience. The film also starred Priyanka Chopra, however, you should only watch it if you want to sob like a baby. 

 

2. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)

 

 

The movie not only was a blockbuster hit but also made everyone want to pack their bags and go to Manali on an impromptu trip. In the story, Naina (Deepika Padukone) reconnects with her childhood classmate Kabir (Ranbir Kapoor) on a trip and over the course of time they not only make good memories but also fall in love, oh my god so dreamy. Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani has also received applause for its fun and lighthearted tone.

 

3. Om Shanti Om (2007)

 

 

Debuts hold a special place in everyone’s mind and so was the case with birthday girl Deepika. She starred opposite King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and their pairing did help the film in conquering the box office. Deepika was seen in a dual role which made the audience flattered. Firstly she played the role of Shanti Priya and the other was the role of a struggling actress Sandy and we can say that she aced each of them. 

 

4. Padmaavat (2018)

 

 

The grand Sanjay Leela Bhansali production was a success and it astonished everyone because of the drama that went in the backhand. Even after cuts by critics and disagreement by a particular creed, there was nothing that could stop it. The storyline revolves around the life of Rani Padmavati (Deepika Padukone) who is known for her beauty and intelligence. The film received praise from all around for the mindblowing visuals and strong performance by the cast which included Shahid Kappor and the love of Deepika and our lives, Ranveer Singh. 

 

5. Piku (2015)

 

 

Shoojit Sircar’s Piku showed a heartwarming relationship of father-daughter. The father’s role was played by none other than the Angry Young Man of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan and the daughter’s role was obviously played by our Deepika. It showed a story of a young woman who is struggling to take care of her ageing father. The film received immense love for the honest portrayal of the dynamics of a family. Also, Deepika’s basic outfit which was kurta-palazzo pants paired with a bind wowed everyone. The film also starred versatile actor Irfan Khan. 

 

Well here is our list of Deepika’s top five films. Trust us choosing them was difficult because each of her films is special in its own way. Now, she is once again ready to steal hearts with the film Pathaan opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Be it red carpet or a song or a film, she always slays and just like you we also cannot wait to see more of her (screams in excitement). We once again wish Happy Birthday to Mrs Deepika Padukone. 

 

HBD Deepika Padukone, our Shantipriya!

Pathaan Censor Board Report gets leaked online. In a picture that went viral has brought CBFC under a lot of criticism from the people. The pic had the complete list of cuts and modifications recommended by the Central Board of Film Certification regarding the upcoming Shah Rukh Khan starrer- Pathaan.

 

In a picture that went viral, it can be seen that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has recommended numerous cuts, curtails and modifications in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan that is slated to release on January 25th. As soon as the alleged Pathaan Censor Board Report went viral all over Social Media platforms, reactions started to pour in with people questioning that ‘How did the report went viral?’, ‘Who is behind this?’ and ‘Was this intentional?’ What amused a certain section of people was the fact that though the CBFC has recommended numerous cuts and modifications in the film, they did not suggest any cuts in the scene in which Deepika Padukone was seen wearing an orange Bikini in the steamy song- Besharam Rang.

 

The pic or the alleged Pathaan Censor Board Report had 12 modifications recommended by the CBFC. These included asking makers to replace the word ‘RAW’ with ‘Hamare’, recommending omitting out sensual shots and dance moves in the song Besharam Rang, revisions in some dialogues including changing the term ‘Langde Lulle’ to ‘Toote Foote’, ‘Ashok Chakra’ to ‘Veer Puraskar’, ‘ex-KGB’ with ex-SBU and ‘Mrs. Bharatmata’ with ‘Hamari Bharatmata.’

 

Apart from these changes, the word ‘Scotch’ has been asked to be replaced by ‘Drink’ while a text saying ‘Black Prison, Russia’ has to be altered to ‘Black Prison.’ Moreover, the word ‘PM’ is to be replaced by ‘President or Minister’ and the word PMO has to be dropped from 13 scenes in the 146 minutes movie.

 

Talking about the controversial steamy song ‘Besharam Rang’, as per the picture that went viral, close up shots of buttocks, ‘side pose (partial nudity)’ shots and visuals of sensuous dance movements during the lyrics ‘Bahut tang kiya’ have to be replaced with ‘suitable shots’. The song created quite a buzz with Shah Rukh Khan seen flaunting his 6 pack abs and dancing with a hot-looking Deepika Padukone. However, later, the song became a topic of controversy as various sections of people demanded a ban on the song as Deepika Padukone was seen wearing an Orange Bikini which triggered people.

 

Home Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Dr. Narottam Mishra has even warned the filmmakers to do some alterations in the song or his government would think about whether to let Pathaan release in MP or not. 

 

Pathaan is slated to be released on January 25th and stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in the lead roles. The film is directed by Siddharth Anand and is said to have been shot in 8 countries. Salman Khan is also said to have a special cameo appearance in the action-thriller.
