Gaurang Doshi, one of the youngest producers of the Hindi film industry, is back after a hiatus. His comeback was marked by the announcement of three film projects and a revamp of his production house, Gaurang Doshi Productions, with a new logo setting the ground for a new beginning.

Starting his career at the young age of 16, Gaurang Doshi has worked with popular stars in hit movies like Beta and Dil. Then he started his own production house, VR Productions. He later renamed it to Gaurang Doshi Productions while producing his first movie, Aankhen. As a small-time producer with only INR 500 in his pocket, Gaurang Doshi managed to cast Amitabh Bachchan into this film with just one narration of the script and a post-dated cheque.

Achieved International Acclaim For Film Aankhein

The success of his maiden production venture, Aankhen, led to his recognition and fame not just nationally but also in the international movie circuit with Hollywood filmmakers bidding to win its movie rights, making it one of the best-rated thrillers of our times. Breaking the box office with his very first film, Gaurang Doshi then went on to create hit movies such as Deewar, Bavandar and many more.

Apart from being a promising producer, Gaurang Doshi’s passion for film production has made him the first man to ever hold four Limca Records in his name. While his first Limca Record was registered for his movie Aankhen for being the first movie adapted into a PC game; the second record was for receiving a request from Hollywood filmmakers to buy movie rights of the same movie.

World Records Were Set During Making And Promotion Of The Film

His next movie Deewar fetched him his third Limca Record for having the highest insurance cover (INR 30 crore). Along with this, Gaurang Doshi’s production house also set a record for shooting the first movie promo and promoting it across media channels for 28 days before starting the actual shoot of the movie.

Taking in all this success in his stride and battling personal hardships and struggles that made him take a backseat, Gaurang Doshi is now ready to revive his production house with a list of fine movies and a promising cast line-up.

With many potential blockbusters lined up for the next years to come, Gaurang Doshi is set to climb the ladders of success, and once again establish a strong foothold in the Indian film industry. With his innovation, determination and versatility; he is looking forward to fulfilling his dream of filmmaking.

Monalisa Bagal is one of the most popular and talented actresses in the Marathi film industry. The pretty actress made her promising debut in the acting industry with the Marathi film Prem Sankat in 2016. It was directed by Datta Mirkute. 

Within just a few years, Monalisa proved her acting prowess. If that wasn’t enough a proof of her talent, the gorgeous actress is all set to launch her own film distribution company called ‘Box Hit Movies’. It’s a great news how at this young age the actress is reaching great heights in her career.

About the same, Monalisa said, “I have my own film distribution company whose name is ‘Box Hit Movies’ under which I’ve released 4-5 films. The reason I chose to get into film distribution it’s because as an actress, I have to keep in mind what the audience expects and what kind of cinema they love to watch. Also, I wanted to understand the kind of cinema that’s watched in different places. My distribution company has different centers. So I see if cinema reaches to these different centers and what kind of cinema they love to watch. As an actress, I think only acting isn’t important, it’s important to know other things also related to films. That’s why I got into distribution and after this, I will be doing exhibition. But it will take some time. I have two partners with whom I have opened the distribution company whose names are Anoop Jagdale.”

She added, “I think, shooting is not the only thing important in cinema, after shoot, it’s necessary to see if the film is reaching right places, in how many theatres it has released, all these factors need to be studied. I am understanding all this with the help of my distribution company. It helps to understand different kind of cinemas, where we are lacking behind and how much we need to focus and put efforts on it.”

Monalisa Bagal has also been a part of several interesting Marathi films like Zhalla Bobhata, Dry Day, Sobat and Perfume. 

There are a lot of young children/youngsters in our country those are very talented and skilled  in sports who want make their career in sports and perform on international level and make the country proud, but a lot of these talented youngsters do not get enough opportunity because of lack of guidance and resources. Many of the children who come from a poor financial background doesn’t gets supported by their families because of the lack of money.

This saddening situation inspired a former wrestler and celebrity fitness trainer Sandeep Deswal. Sandeep who has been a sportsman before knows about the struggle and difficulties a sportsman has to face in their life who comes from a simple background. Sandeep Deswal was born in a simple farmer family in Sonipat, Haryana. He has seen and gone through the same difficulties that today many sportsman faces and that’s why he thought of helping out the young sportsman who does not have the resources and guidance that they need.

Sandeep Deswal wanted to help the younger generation of sportsman achieve their dream so he started giving free training to the young kids of his village so that they could get better and perform at higher levels. He also provides them the required equipment and other things that are needed for their training at free of cost. He doesn’t want any talented kid to give up on their dream just because of a poor financial condition so guides and train them without taking any money, all just on his own expenses.

Sandeep’s genuine initiative of helping the underprivileged  kids achieving their dream and goal is really appreciating. its so inspiring that people like Sandeep Deswal keeping the humanity alive today and raising the future athlete today who will surely make India proud one day.

The rumors spreading former Finance Minister Mr. Arun Jaitley’s death has flooded the micro-blogging site, Twitter, on Sunday afternoon as plenty of users started asking the health update of the veteran BJP leader. Several WhatsApp posts have also been circulated about Arun Jaitley’s death due to cardiac arrest.

However, Jaitley’s close friend and TV journalist Rajat Sharma has rejected such hoax as he tweeted, “Everyone is discussing my friend @arunjaitley ‘s health, some out of genuine concern and some for loose talk. Let me share with you that I met him last evening, he is recovering well and is working behind the scenes. Friends and family have convinced him to stay

away from public.”

He further added that the veteran BJP leader is ‘avoiding interaction to avoid infection.’

In a reply to a Twitter handle @sanghiRavan to a similar death hoax about Arun Jaitley, another BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy said, Â“Death is an issue between God and Jaitely. It cannot be rumoured but can be announced only by his family. Till that time I will assume he is alive.”

Arun Jaitley has been diagnosed with kidney-related ailment since a long time and had undergone a renal transplant on May 14^th last year.

A lawyer by profession, Arun Jaitley is considered as one of the most articulate voices in the Modi government and played a troubleshooter at many crucial occasions.  

This was the last tweet by @arunjailtey on 24th May “Saddened beyond words to know about the fire tragedy in Surat. My thoughts are with the bereaved families. I pray for the speedy recovery of all those injured in this tragic incident.” 

Arun Jaitley has been very active on twitter as well. 

“Dream is not that you see in sleep, dream is something that does not let you sleep.” This quote by A.P.J. Kalam has given a direction to many people’s lives. But we have an example of this quote. Who? How? Let’s have a look. Amol Ghodke is a young, talented social media manager from Pune. He has been managing celebrities and their social media accounts for quite a time now. He has even covered the corporate brands with this work. He knows the importance of a fit body so he has worked on his physique with the help of workout. But how did this dedicated social media manager turned out to be a budding actor?

Well, one day he had to do a Facebook Live session for social media promotions. He went to his client’s office. The client was a director and they were looking for a perfect fit for one of their films. When Amol entered to ask about the live session the director just glared at him for a while. 

Apparently it frightened Amol and he asked what’s wrong? Suddenly the director asked would you act in my film? It obviously surprised Amol since he has absolute no background of acting and he had no idea. He said but I don’t know how to act? Later Amol attended an acting workshop where he got the training from many well know actors which helped him and it worked. The shoot for his film is ongoing.

When Amol Ghodke shot the few scenes he was praised and let’s say his efforts paid off; because he was immediately asked for more 2-3 films. 

That’s remarkable. It’s a journey from social media manager to an actor and looks like it’s a new successful beginning for Amol Ghodke. Amol surely proves that, if you can dream it, you can achieve it.

CAMBRIDGE — In 1984, when the British government was planning to build a flashy modernist addition to the National Gallery in London, Prince Charles offered a dissenting view. The proposed extension, he said, resembled “a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved and elegant friend.” A public controversy ensued, and eventually a more subtle addition was built.

There is more to the story, however. Prince Charles’ public interventions into architecture fell into a legal grey area. Was he improperly trying use the influence of the British monarchy — now meant to be nonpolitical — to affect government policy?

“It’s not quite clear whether Prince Charles was speaking as a private citizen or as a future monarch,” says Timothy Hyde, the Clarence H. Blackall Career Development Associate Professor in MIT’s Department of Architecture. He adds: “Because of his architectural pronouncements, a series of constitutional debates has emerged about how such opinions should be regulated, or if they should be regulated at all.”

Indeed, Prince Charles’ public tussles over architecture have led to legal battles. In 2015, Britain’s Supreme Court ruled that 27 advocacy memos Prince Charles had written to various officials — on architecture, the environment, and other subjects — could not be kept private, meaning the public could scrutinize his activities. And more recently, Prince Charles has vowed not to make similar policy interventions should he become king.

So for Prince Charles, debates over architecture have spilled into questions of political power. But as Hyde explores in a new book, “Ugliness and Judgment: On Architecture in the Public Eye,” published by Princeton University Press, this is hardly unique. In Britain alone, Hyde notes, controversies specifically over the “ugliness” of buildings have shaped matters from libel law to environmental policy.

“Aesthetic arguments about ugliness have often served to tie architectural thinking to other kinds of debates and questions in parallel spheres of social and cultural production — things like science, law, professionalism,” Hyde says. “Debates about ugliness are very easily legible as debates about politics.”

Clearing the air

The impetus for the book, says Hyde, an architectural historian, came partly from the sheer number of people who have commented about “ugly” buildings to him. 

“It’s the frequency of that phrase, ‘What an ugly building,’ that really piqued my curiosity about ugliness,” Hyde says.

“Ugliness is an undertheorized dimension of architecture, given how common that critique is,” he adds. “People always think buildings are ugly. Particularly as a historian of modern architecture, I encounter any number of people who say ‘Oh, you’re a modern architectural historian, can you explain, why would an architect ever think to do a building like that?’”

Hyde’s book, however, is not simply about aesthetics. Instead, as he soon noticed, disputes centered around “ugly” buildings have a way of leaping into other domains of life. Consider libel laws. In the first decades of the 19th century, the prominent architect Sir John Soane filed a long series of libel cases against critics, which led to the larger evolution of the law.

“There was a prevailing assumption at the time that a work of architecture, a work of art, a work of literature, was an embodiment of its creator,” Hyde says. A critique of a building, then, could be seen a personal attack on an individual. But as Soane filed one libel cases after another — against people who used terms like “a ridiculous piece of architecture” and “a palpable eyesore” — he lost again and again. A bad review, the 

legal community decided, was simply that. 

“In the cases that John Soane brought for libel, all of which he lost … the modern conception that we have within libel law, of art criticism being a special case, emerged,” Hyde says. “Now what we take for granted, this modern idea that one can criticize a work of architecture or book, without necessarily saying its creator is a bad or immoral person, begins to emerge as a legal concept.”

Or take environmental policy, which gained traction in Britain due to concerns about the aesthetics of the Houses of Parliament. As Hyde details, the 19th century reconstruction of Britain’s Parliament — the old one burned in 1834 — soon became derailed, in the 1840s, by concerns that its limestone was already decaying and becoming ugly.

A formal inquiry by the end of the 1850s concluded that the sulphuric “acid rain” from London’s sooty atmosphere was corroding the city’s buildings — an important step for the incorporation of science into 19th-century policymaking, and a finding that helped usher in Britain’s 1875 Public Health Act, which directly addressed such pollution.

The levers of power

To be sure, as Hyde readily notes, the geographic scope of “Ugliness and Judgement” is limited to Britain, and almost exclusively on London architecture. It could well be worthwhile, he notes, to look at controversies over architecture, ugliness, and power in other settings, which might have their own distinctive elements.

Still, he notes, studying Britain alone uncovers a rich history stemming from the notion of “ugliness” by itself.

“Disagreements over questions of ugliness are much more volatile than disagreements over questions of beauty,” Hyde says. When it comes to politics and the law, he observes, “In some sense, beauty doesn’t matter as much. … The stakes are different.” Few people try to prevent buildings from being built, he notes, if they are merely a bit less beautiful than onlookers had hoped.

Perceptions of ugliness, however, precipitate civic battles.

“It’s a way to look for the levers of power,” Hyde says.

NEW DELHI, MAY 23:: In a landslide victory in elections to the 17^th Lok Sabha, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is poised for its second five-year innings under the captaincy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi guiding the destiny of the nation.

As the counting of the votes began on Thursday after a grueling seven-phase polling that extended to 38 days and trends started pouring in, it became amply clear that the saffron party will win 300 Lok Sabha seats on its own, securing a bigger mandate than the 2014 elections.

Riding on the popularity, appeal and leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the BJP-led NDA was all set to romp home with a tally of 340 seats. The main challenge from the Congress-led opposition turned out to be a non-starter with the grand old party facing an existential crisis and leading on 56 seats and the UPA’s tally likely to be around 100.

Leadership of Congress president Rahul Gandhi, charisma of her sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra seemed to have failed to enthuse voters in the Hindi heartland as well as other parts of the country. Even the much-touted `Nyay’’ scheme promising a payment of Rs. 72,000 every year to the most poor families failed to find favour with the targeted sections of the society. Issues like corruption, unemployment and farmers’ distress, GST and demonetization which were raised by the Congress during a long drawn campaign failed to capture the imagination of the electors. Out of a total electorate of 91 crore, all the seven phases witnessed a poll percentage of 67.11 per cent.

The biggest gain for the Lotus Party came from Trinamool Congress-ruled West Bengal where it fought pitched battle with chief minister Mamata Banerjee and appears all set to win 19 seats out of 42 total seats with the Trinamool Congress leading on 22 seats.

Focussing on a mix of development, nationalism and national security coupled with a strong and decisive leadership, the BJP was able to drive home its message to the voters.

In Uttar Pradesh, the SP-BSP alliance was maintaining its lead on 22 seats while the BJP was ahead on 57 seats.

It will be a historic victory for Mr. Modi as he would become the first non-Congress Prime Minister to have secured a second consecutive five-year term to rule the country with clear majority of his party.

Prominent among those who were trailing as the trends came in this evening were Congress stalwarts like Digvijay Singh from Bhopal, Raj Babbar from Fatehpur Sikri, Jyotiraditya Scindia from Guna, Shatrughan Sinha from Patna Sahib and Rahul Gandhi from Amethi. Former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda was trailing from Tumkur in Karnataka and former JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar of CPI was trailing from Begusarai in Bihar.

As it became clear that the decisive and massive mandate was heavily tilted in favour of the BJP, Prime Minister Modi dedicated his party’s victory to a win for India and tweeted: “Together we grow. Together we prosper. Together we will build a strong and inclusive India. India wins yet again! #VijayiBharat.

While the Congress headquarter at Akbar Road wore a desolate look, it was celebration all the way at the BJP office at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg  as workers thronged the party office and gave a rousing welcome to the party president Amit Shah. 

In the evening, Congress president Rahul Gandhi spoke to media, saying he respected the mandate given by the people who were the real masters of the nation. He also congratulated PM Modi on BJP’s spectacular victory in the elections. 

NEW DELHI, MAY 23 :  Dedicating the massive victory of the BJP to the people of India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday made three promises to the nation – nothing for self, never to work with ill intention and devoting every moment of his time for the country.

Amid lusty chants of “Modi, Modi’’ by enthusiastic party cadres at the BJP headquarters, the Prime Minister also assured the people that he would take even staunch political rivals along in his mission of building a new, developed and prosperous India during his second five year term of 2019 to 2024.

“It is possible to make mistakes while working but I will not do anything with wrong intention and my promise to the people of nation is that I will not do anything for myself,’’ Mr Modi said.

Seeking to unveil his new image of a consensus builder, Mr. Modi, in his victory speech, said that negative forces have been crushed by the massive mandate given by the people to the BJP-led NDA which also casts a heavy responsibility on the ruling dispensation.

Pledging that the Constitution was supreme for him and the party, he gave a clarion call to his compatriots to eliminate poverty as India marches ahead to become a developed nation over the next few years. He said there would be only two castes in India in future – those who are poor and those who seek to help the poor and eliminate poverty.

 “Whatever happened in the elections, it’s past now…will take the opposition along in the interest of the nation and in the spirit of the Constitution,’’ he said.

Mr. Modi said that 2019 general elections were devoid of oft-repeated issues of corruption, casteism and price rise. He also sought to pull the mask off the so-called pseudo secular forces who, he added, would need to latch on to a wholly new narrative of a new, confident, positive and aspirational India of 21^st century.

Referring to the BJP’s electoral journey from two Lok Sabha seats to returning to power for a second term in 2019, Mr. Modi said the party had never deviated from its ideals, beliefs, humility, culture and conscience. “There have been many ups and downs in our journey from two MPs to winning a second term but we have not compromised with our principles and will not give up our humility,’’ he told the gathering.

He said the landslide victory of the BJP was that of 40 crore-strong unorganized labourers for whom pension scheme has been launched and was also that of law-abiding and tax paying middle class.

Boys suffer even more than girls to adverse events as children including physical and emotional neglect, violence and sexual abuse which makes them more likely to be violent in return, a new study has suggested.
In poor urban areas around the world, exposure to adverse events as children—including physical and emotional neglect, violence, and sexual abuse—is strongly associated with both adolescent depression and violence perpetrated by young people, according to the study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
“This is the first global study to investigate how a cluster of traumatic childhood experiences known as ACEs, or adverse childhood experiences, work together to cause specific health issues in early adolescence with terrible, life-long consequences,” said Dr. Robert Blum, lead researcher for the Global Early Adolescent Study (GEAS) that is based in multiple countries across five continents.
“And while we found young girls often suffer significantly, contrary to common belief, boys reported even greater exposure to violence and neglect, which makes them more likely to be violent in return.” The study catalogued the ACEs suffered by 1,284 adolescents aged 10 to 14 in 14 “low-income urban settings” around the world. It found remarkably common experiences with trauma—and very similar impacts—regardless of where the children lived, which included Vietnam, China, Bolivia, Egypt, India, Kenya, UK and the United States. 
The report is the first to include an assessment of how adversity impacts young children in multiple low- and middle-income countries, where the vast majority of the 1.8 billion 10- to 24-year-olds worldwide live—about a quarter of the global population. 
Overall, the study found that 46% of young adolescents reported experiencing violence, 38% suffered emotional neglect and 29% experienced physical neglect. But boys stood out in several categories. They were more likely to report physical neglect, sexual abuse and violence victimization. Also, for both boys and girls, the more adversity they experienced, the more likely they were to engage in violent behaviors, such as bullying, threatening or hitting someone. But the effect of the adversity was more pronounced for boys than girls, with boys 11 times more likely to be engaged in violence, and girls four times more likely to be violent. Also, the study found that, in general, the cumulative effect of their traumas tended to produce higher levels of depressive symptoms among girls than boys, while boys tended to show more external aggression than girls. 
The study is part of the Global Early Adolescent Study, a major collaboration of the World Health Organization and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to understand more about the development of gender stereotypes in early adolescence and their impact on adolescent health around the world.
And it buttresses a key conclusion from a major new report to be released next week at Women Deliver in Vancouver based on a global coalition of adolescent health experts: that the world will never achieve gender equality “by focusing on girls and women alone and excluding boys and men.” That report, from the Bellagio Working Group on Gender Equality, reflects the assessment of 22 experts from 15 countries. Their analysis, Achieving Gender Equality by 2030: Putting Adolescents at the Center, finds that boys have as equal a part to play as girls in achieving the fifth of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG5), which seeks to “achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls” by 2030. The report notes that the current indicators for SDG5 ignore boys and men. But it warns that “we cannot achieve a gender equitable world by ignoring half of its occupants.” 
Global Early Adolescent Study Over the past six years, an international consortium of 15 countries has been working on the Global Early Adolescent Study (GEAS). The GEAS aims to understand how gender norms are formed in early adolescence and how they predispose young people to subsequent sexual and other health risks.

Dropping out of school and college always considered as a bad decision in our society. The majority feels that education and a fancy college degree is the only way to success and happy stable life. There have been many examples in the past of people who are school/college dropouts and made it big in life. 
Shubham Kalosiya is one of those amazing examples who started from the bottom and made it big. Shubham who comes from an ordinary middle-class family and is a college dropout is the new sensation in the rap music industry. He is the founder of “Artist Mine Music” which supports and promotes the underground rappers.
However, this success didn’t come easy as there were a lot of difficulties that Shubham Kalosiya had to face to reach this level.
Basically residing from Rajasthan belonging from a simple family he never had any financial support from anyone. When Shubham was in the first year of college studying BA he made one of the brave and toughest choices of his life to quit the studies and work for his dream to be an entrepreneur.
Shubham Kalosiya got his first break when he was just 17 years old where he was an Artist event manager and from his journey started. He started working and event manager, organiser and found his way in the music industry. Shubham loved the show business and wanted to start his own music label which was a quite big dream to achieve as an individual.
A dream never becomes true unless you work for it and that’s what exactly Shubham Kalosiya did. Instead of thinking about the difficulties of his journey and getting demotivated he thought of the ways how he can do it and achieve his dream. His positive attitude towards life and with sheer hard work and dedication he finally made his dream true when he founded his own music company “Artist Mine Music”.
The Rap and Hip Hop culture in India has been in a rage from the past few years and has seen a lot of young talented artist like Emiway who raised from a very simple background. Shubham’s company Artist Mine Music search for these type of underground rappers and artist and promotes and support them.
Having seen the difficulties and struggle in his life Shubham Kalosiya wants to help other struggling artist and rappers in achieving their dreams by providing them with a platform and he also wishes to take Artist Mine Music on the international level.
