The Taliban is stepping up its attack on provincial cities in response to the increasing airstrikes by the US as fighting has escalated in Herat, Lashkar Gah, and Kandahar, according to a report on Friday. Reuters spoke to three Taliban commanders, one of whom said that they will soon capture other cities.

Taliban violence meanwhile continues unabated in Afghanistan as several videos and images on social media showed those injured, including children. Experts have stated that the loss of Kandahar and Herat, Afghanistan’s second-and third-largest cities by population, would be a major blow to the government. According to them, it could potentially trigger major realignments in favor of the Taliban.

“Mullah Yaqoob argued that when the US didn’t fulfill their commitment, why should Taliban be made to follow the accord?” one of the commanders, based in Kandahar, told Reuters on the condition of anonymity. The commander was referring to the Taliban’s military chief. “Mullah Yaqoob has decided to capture Kandahar and Herat and now Helmand and then it could be Kunduz, Khost or any other province,” the commander said.

The Taliban’s offensive activities have gone up since April when US President Joe Biden announced troops would withdraw by September. Herat, Kandahar and Lashkar Gar have seen sustained attacks by the Taliban, and scores of civilians have been killed in these areas.

“The people of Balkhab are always ready, they will act against all aggressors including the Taliban,” a resident of Sar-e-Pul province was quoted. “It indicates that the people support ANDSDF and they are tired of the war, this is totally a people’s movement,” Fawad Raiskhel said in Kabul.

The fashion industry has always been the talk of tinsel town. It has been the center of the showbiz industry and the glamour world. In brief, it runs the entire entertainment business. However, it is not easy to make a mark or even just gather a very small space in this industry. The rat race is too stretchy and then there is an enormous number of potholes in this industry. Belonging from a non-showbiz background and dreaming to do something in the fashion world is not a cakewalk. It requires a lot of blood and sweat to gather space for oneself and such is the story of emerging fashion designer, Rohit Roy.

Walking into the field of fashion just with eyes full of dreams and an innate passion to work, Rohit stepped into the showbiz industry as a fashion designer. It was like walking into an unknown land with no known faces except the craft he is committed to. He studied fashion and strived for work, day in and out till he started getting his acknowledgment due. The opportunities did not come easy but he had to create the opportunities for himself. Starting from local shows, he managed and aced in popular fashion shows like Pune Times, Blenders Pride Dehradun Fashion Week, and many more. He even worked with the best faces of the industry like Urvashi Rautela, Daisy Shah, Sneha Ullal, and several others as their designers. But this journey was not as easy as it seems!

Belonging to a small town of Bihar which many people might not have even heard the name of, Rohit witnessed manipulation and subjugation daily. He has seen women being abused, domestic violence, social malpractices, and several injustices from a very young age. The cruelties of the world have thus been very transparent to him since a very young age. His community has always been a threat to him and has not been conducive to his growth. Shaping his inner self to emerge as a strong individual was thus his first life challenge. The negativities of a paralyzed childhood gave him the zeal and courage to emerge into a strong and sensible adult who would be free enough to follow his dreams. Next to that, came the social stigma of being a male who wants to work in the fashion industry. The hardships and challenges have been innumerous from his community as well as the industry. He has been dropped off several places for this reason. Still, these reasons never let Rohit’s dream of being a designer go down.

Fighting all these and after educating himself about the intricacies of fashion when he was all set to work, came another challenge, “Rejection”. This, however, was not a single challenge that came only once, this challenge keeps coming to Rohit even today. Trying to make a mark without any godfather or known sources in the industry has been like a daily challenge for Rohit. However, this has never let his principles down. His honesty and dedication have sustained over the years and with that, he has managed to get work for himself. In just two years of the industry, he has worked so much, with so many faces and in several fashion weeks, that now he feels he should aim for something even bigger!

He aims to work at the Lakme Fashion Week and FDCI in a couple of years and showcase his incredible talent as a fashion designer in front of all. He has been designing both Western and Indian outfits and doesn’t want to restrict himself to any particular genre. He shared “Life has not been easy for me. I have been challenged every now and then. I have been rejected daily. From being a male trying to pursue designing and getting rejected for that, to not having sources and being rejected for that, rejection has been nothing new to me. But, these are like building blocks of my success. I am struggling and that is what I am proud of. I am not in a hurry, I will go step by step and become one of the leading fashion designers of India. I want to be an example and empower my community. I wish to also create an NGO where I can do public service. Whatever comes in between these, I would never sacrifice my self-respect and principles for corruption or money!”

Monsoons have always been friends with Indian farmers and poets. The outpour never fails to sow happiness and harvest in a country like India. However, often the heavy rain and an unprecedented treacherous rainy season lead to an unavoidable cataclysm. Swoon with new varieties of diseases and germs, monsoons are hosts to all kinds of infections. The chances of spreading these bacterias, viruses, and other microorganisms multiply during this period due to the high moisture content in the air. To address all these issues Sahil Seth an officer of Indian Revenue Service, a philanthropist who extend his support to many non profit and non-govt organisation in the field of health and also in art and culture is himself a health freak, led out his speech of remedy. He suggested various cures to such diseases and elaborated the mildness of this season in detail. 

It has not been long since I.R.S officer and Joint Commissioner Sahil Seth has headed as the “Maharashtra Adhyaksh” for International Delphic Council. However, he has started his initiatives already and trying his level best to implement the same. He said “Monsoon is equally a bane and boon to India.  So, to cut off on the bane, it is important to get educated on the same. There are many small diseases that develop during monsoon and avoidance and ignorance of such can lead to major diseases.”

The most common are Malaria, Dengue, Jaundice, Cough and Cold, Influenza. So to treat them, effective home remedies should be taken. To treat mosquito-borne diseases, the first thing that should be done is to avoid water stagnancy. That is the breeding germ of mosquitoes. Moreover,  to keep them away mosquito repellants and creams should be effectively used. Bathrooms should be properly sanitized and strict hygiene should be maintained. Personal and environmental hygiene, like carrying sanitizers, hand washes, and more should be a must. Fruit and vegetables should be properly washed and boiled before consumption.  The practice of drinking boiled water should be ensured after a few intervals. Most importantly, a balanced diet should be maintained to keep the immune system strong. Whenever going out, raincoats and umbrellas should always be carried to prevent the catching of cold and flu.

Owing to the contemporary crisis, these things should be followed more strictly. Out of every possible measure, vaccination is of primary importance. Every one of the eighteen and above age group should get vaccinated and children below eighteen should be taken proper care of.  Masks are a must and that should not be an option!
