"It is a dark day for freedom of expression and creativity in the country," Mukesh Bhatt said, calling Nihalani a "stooge" of the government."I request Congress, AAP and other political parties to stay out of my battle..The AAP and Congress had earlier accused Punjab's ruling SAD-BJP alliance of exercising its influence to "censor" the movie, a charge denied by the state government. I speak only on my behalf," he said."I always wondered what it felt like to live in North Korea.The petition, filed by Phantom Films, a production and distribution company established by Anurag Kashyap, sought a direction from the high court to the government and the Censor Board to hand over a copy of the review committee's decision on the "objectionable" scenes and dialogues in the film.Kashyap had yesterday hit out at Censor Board chief Pahlaj Nihalani, calling him "oligarch" and "dictator".

”Brushed suede finishThis particular type of finish has a sheen and scattered texture to it. When a wall is given this effect, the general appearance is of some places where the colour is dark and other places where there is a lighter play. If the theme is colonial, the upholstery selected cannot be purely contemporary, a mix of contemporary and modern with contrast curtains is wise. The faux finish uses a dark shade underneath, and a lighter one on top, depending on the colour palette you use. A lot of factors depend on the type of stone finish, like the ceiling height, ambience etc. There are a wide range of finishes that one can choose from — Glass mosaic, mirror, laminate and many more. City-based interior designer Rani Bharathan elaborates, "Textured paint pitted finish can be used to brighten up any wall. But, what works best for your personal space? Interior designers in the city speak about the type of finishes that can be used, and the ways in which we can enhance a wall to tell a story. Faux finishes can help spruce up any wall and turn it into a statement, be it that drab corner that needed some colour infusion or the corridor that needed brightness.

"When one increases the intricacy of the style and surface development, it makes it more difficult for a fast fashion house to copy it and mass produce such pieces of intricacy,” she says about a similar sentiment that echoes in her own line of hand embellished motifs, each with its own story, showcased at the New York Fashion Week recently.Looks like runways are now the new gardens for this is where the flowers are in full bloom!It’s no longer floral prints for designers who are giving the flower power a new wholesale curtain fabric twist. "Make it the centre of your outfit and work around it. To me, the embroidered floral trend is a perfect combination of feminine meets edgy,” she says.Being dubbed as edgy, believe us when we say that there’s nothing this trend hasn’t owned yet – from pinstriped and poplin shirts to luxe satin bomber jackets, elaborate lehengas and capes, crisp kurtas, boyfriend jeans, leather skirts, bags, loafers and belts even!

For example, YouTube tutorials, such as mending bikes or baking cakes, China digital printing velvet manufacturers could be easily paused and rewound on tablet computers without users having to put down tools or mixing bowls. These targets correspond to different functions - such as volume, changing channel or viewing a menu.In addition to short-term couplings, users can also link stationary objects to controls, which even when left for prolonged periods will retain their control function."Everyday objects in the house can now easily become remote controls so there are no more frantic searches for remote controls when your favourite programme is about to start on another channel, and now everyone in the room has the 'remote'," Clarke said.This provides much more flexibility and ease for the user as it works even while hands are full, and while stood or slouching on the sofa.Researchers believe Matchpoint is also suitable to be used as an accessibility tool for people who are unable to use traditional pointers, such as remote controls and a mouse and keyboard.Unlike existing gesture control technology, the software does not look for a specific body part it has been trained to identify - such as a hand.

ICED CARAMEL MACCHIATOTake a tall glass 350ml, add ice cubes till the top, add 100 ml of cold milk, generously glaze the sides of the glass with caramel sauce, add a double shot of espresso gently on top and finish the same with a shot of foamed milk with a caramel design on top. Now, finger chips, chicken wings and samosas are something that are easily accessible. Add cloves, cinnamon, peppercorns and wait till the aromas of the spices are released, add the onions and stir-fry till onions turn golden brown.Take a deep frying pan add canola or refined oil and put on medium flame till temperature reached 180 degrees, put the samosas in gently not overcrowding the pan and fry till they turn golden brown, for more crispness fry for a minute longer. But a twist to the flavours where there is a mish-mash of both, a bit desi and a bit videsi is what is tough to create. But the secret is that there is no secret at all. The dishes served and shared by the Zorambo team are on one hand unique as well as has the true essence of Internationally Indian appeal.Cook till the keema is dry, remove the pan and wait for the keema to come to room temperature.

Anurag Kashyap: In 2012, an impostor posing as the casting director of Bombay Velvet sent messages to girls from small towns requesting their portfolios. They must ensure that the credentials are verified before meeting the person. We now make sure that we have official film pages and Twitter handles, so that people can get in touch with us without falling prey to impostors. I don’t know what else to do when all my details are available on the net. I later had to call higher-ups and they then took the complaint. He somehow knew that I was not in the city. Kangana has alleged that Hrithik sent her multiple emails to which she responded, only to be told that they were directed to an impostor posing as the star. Ranveer Singh and Siddharth Roy Kapur: In 2013, a person posing as Ranveer Singh demanded Bikini clad pictures on Facebook from aspiring actors assuring them that if he liked the pictures he would set up a meeting with UTV honcho Siddharth Roy Kapur.Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut’s very public spat hinges partly on a crucial point of contention — emails. Virtual impostors and frauds are not new to Bollywood stars and starlets.

I use the term "unlikely” because someone born in Mustafabad, and raised in the Urdu ambience of Lucknow, would generally be expected to expire from culture shock in the four-storeyed office in which every forehead was decorated with vertical, horizontal even circular designs. One set of Ayyangars (Vaisnavites) called Vadagalai insisted on the U-design. Meanwhile, the AIADMK without Jayalalithaa and MGR is also something of a headless chicken. Annadurai, had an amusing take on "namams”. In his gruff, theatrical voice what he had drawn my attention to was a 200-year-old litigation on what should be the shape of the "namam” on the forehead of the elephant at the Kanchipuram (Devarajaswamy) temple. Karunanidhi’s much greater organisational control was being undermined by MGR’s cinematic glamour. He gestured that I sit on the sofa beside him. When industrialist Ramakrishna Dalmia set up his cement factory, he sought to change the name of the town to Dalmianagar. Not only was Karunanidhi more intellectually agile, he had his feet firmly on the ground. And yet, by every yardstick, he had shot into the charismatic stratosphere by projecting an inexplicable persona.The MGR-Jayalalithaa charisma had obscured the Dravida movement’s earlier anti-Hindi, anti-north and anti-brahmin edge. But the transition may still be problematic. Ramachandran were strained ever since Anna’s death in 1969.For me, raised on different aesthetics, MGR remained an enigma.K. "Aastha” is "aastha”, after all.

Analysts explained that it was a vote for status quo, for efficiency, or a slap in the face ofthe rampaging BJP. As a 21-year-old working in television there, I’d been molested, swindled, stalked, and nearly killed (with a karai – honest). Priti hates the marginalised, the sick and the poor, and in pole position to help them all in shiny new Brexit Britain, she delights in making their lives a misery instead. With love so unexpectedly given precedence, it was no wonder that Delhi went on to democratically sweep out hate.Nor will I hear a word against Pakistanis. Especially the kind that glower at you from behind the steering wheel till you bring up biryani. Yet, look into your past and see if you can’t find people who were ostracised when they first arrived, but through industry and the occasional opportunity sparked by the kindness of strangers, worked their way to where YOU are now. But I’d like to think it was a vote for solidarity. His incumbent party had swept the Delhi state elections, winning 62 seats to the ruling party’s paltry eight. Delhi = Love?? Pull the other one! That’s not an emotion we associate with our cut-throat capital, accounting for 40 per cent of rapes and 33 per cent of all crimes against women in India. And we both guffaw.Of course, if British Indians were celebrating the appointment of an apparently normal desi to the Cabinet, they were right, as the other two are Priti Patel and Cruella, sorry, Suella Braverman. Especially chuffed that he’d replaced Pakistani-origin Sajid Javid as Chancellor of the Exchequer, it only dawned on desis later that Rishi is as much of a privileged-and-not-parting-with-it toff as farcically malevolent Jacob Rees-Mogg. But he might win Hair of The Year yet and make us proud. You may never hear me say that again!P. Its true self? Prove us wrong, Delhi.S. For love. Then burrrrn ‘em with your democratic rights.Do as Delhi did. Briefly. March. Vote. As it turns out, you really won’t hear that from me again. It had been a good month — he’d felt the love.Four thousand, five hundred and fifty miles away in Delhi, so had chief minister Arvind Kejriwal. Panic-stricken, I began to call one barely known Facebook friend after another to see who might assist. Rise again.
