ईरान पर अमेरिका और इस्राइल के हमले से पश्चिम एशिया में बने हालात के बीच सरकार ने सोमवार को कहा कि देश में कच्चे तेल और पेट्रोल-डीजल की कहीं कोई तंगी नहीं है। देश में गैस की किल्लत के बीच भारतीय जहाज "नंदा देवी" 46500 मीट्रिक टन LPG लेकर गुजरात के वाडिनार पोर्ट पहुंच गया है। इससे पहले 'शिवालिक' सोमवार शाम मुंद्रा पोर्ट पर पहुंच था।

नंदा देवी जहाज LPG कैरियर दीनदयाल पोर्ट अथॉरिटी के वाडीनार टर्मिनल के पास मिड सी में पहुंचा है। मिड सी में ही नंदा देवी से पूरी 46500 मीट्रिक टन LPG दूसरी शिप में ट्रांसफर की जा रही है। जब ये काम पूरा हो जाएगा तो LPG का आधा स्टॉक एन्नोर पोर्ट में ऑफलोड किया जाएगा और आधा स्टॉक पश्चिम बंगाल के हल्दीआ पोर्ट पर ऑफलोड होगा।

भारत पहुंचने वाला नंदा देवी दूसरा जहाज
एमटी नंदा देवी हाल के दिनों में दूसरा भारतीय एलपीजी जहाज है, जिसने सुरक्षित रूप से स्ट्रेट ऑफ हॉर्मुज पार कर भारतीय तट तक पहुंच बनाई है। इससे ऊर्जा आपूर्ति बनाए रखने के प्रयासों को मजबूती मिली है। इससे एक दिन पहले ही एलपीजी कैरियर शिवालिक करीब 40,000 मीट्रिक टन एलपीजी लेकर मुंद्रा पोर्ट पहुंचा था। अधिकारियों के मुताबिक, इस कार्गो का एक हिस्सा मुंद्रा में उतारा जाएगा, जबकि बाकी एलपीजी को मैंगलोर भेजा जाएगा। 

फारख की खाड़ी में फंसे कितने भारतीय जहाज
सरकारी आंकड़ों के मुताबिक, फारस की खाड़ी क्षेत्र में होर्मुज जलडमरूमध्य के पश्चिम में 22 भारतीय जहाज मौजूद थे, जिनमें 611 नाविक सवार थे. सरकार लगातार इन जहाजों और नाविकों की सुरक्षा पर नजर बनाए हुए है। इसके अलावा संयुक्त अरब अमीरात से करीब 81,000 टन कच्चा तेल लेकर आ रहा जहाज ‘जग लाडकी’ भी मुंद्रा बंदरगाह की ओर रवाना हो चुका है। इस जहाज और उसके चालक दल के सुरक्षित होने की भी पुष्टि की गई है। मंत्रालय ने बताया है कि देश के सभी प्रमुख बंदरगाह जहाजों की आवाजाही और माल ढुलाई पर कड़ी निगरानी रख रहे हैं। साथ ही शिपिंग कंपनियों और व्यापार से जुड़े हितधारकों को हर संभव सहायता दी जा रही है। इसमें लंगरगाह, किराया और भंडारण शुल्क में रियायतें भी शामिल हैं, ताकि आपूर्ति बाधित न हो। 

आम उपभोक्ताओं के लिए बड़ी राहत
‘शिवालिक’ और ‘नंदा देवी’ जैसे जहाजों का सुरक्षित भारत पहुंचना न सिर्फ ऊर्जा आपूर्ति के लिहाज से महत्वपूर्ण है, बल्कि यह भी दिखाता है कि चुनौतीपूर्ण परिस्थितियों में भी भारत अपनी सप्लाई चेन को बनाए रखने में सक्षम है। इन जहाजों से आई एलपीजी लाखों नहीं, बल्कि करोड़ों सिलेंडरों की जरूरत पूरी कर सकती है, जो आम उपभोक्ताओं के लिए बड़ी राहत की खबर है।

"Capturing Holi Splendor: Rohan Saha's Lens Meets Harakutir's Vibrant Celebrations and Kolkata's Iconic Rolls-Royce Procession"
The Rolls-Royce Holi procession in Kolkata has a rich history dating back to 1921 when the car was imported from England by Mukund Lal Bagla, a prominent Marwari businessman. The tradition began when his son, Ram Kumar Bagla, started using the Rolls-Royce to carry Radha-Krishna idols during Holi, a practice continued by the family. Over time, the event has evolved into a grand celebration, attracting thousands of devotees and spectators. The procession typically starts at the Satyanarayan Jee Temple, winding through iconic Kolkata streets like Howrah Bridge and Burrabazar, showcasing the city's cultural heritage. The Rolls-Royce itself is a symbol of luxury and tradition, beautifully decorated with flowers and colors for the occasion. The Rolls-Royce, once owned by Rudyard Kipling, is adorned with flowers and colors, accompanied by traditional music and dance. Devotees and spectators join the procession, throwing gulal and celebrating the festival. This event blends heritage, spirituality, and joy, making it a must-see Holi celebration in Kolkata. 
 
The Rolls-Roycle Holi 2026 was captured very uniquely by Mr. Rohan Saha, who is a rising youth photographer who's making waves with his exceptional talent. He's been associated with the Harakutir ray-banerjee royal family capturing their events and celebrations with his lens. His work has been appreciated by many, and he's quickly becoming a name to watch in the photography world!

The members of the royal Harakutir Ray-banerjee family of Pathuriaghata, Kolkata, West Bengal, meanwhile just celebrated their Holika Dahan and Holi at their premises in a vibrant, unique and joyous affair, reflecting the spirit of India's Festival of Colors. 
Harakutir’s iconic Holi festivities began this monday, with the traditional Holika Dahan ceremony, where a 15 feet tall effigy, made of of hay and wood was set up on fire in a bonfire to symbolize the victory of good over evil. The event was marked by prayers, chanting, and the offering of cimar (puffs of burning cow dung) to ward off evil spirits. The tradition comes from a story in the Bhagavata Purana about the demon king Hiranyakashipu. He wanted everyone to worship him instead of Vishnu. However, his son Prahlada remained a devoted follower of Vishnu. Angry with his son, Hiranyakashipu asked his sister Holika, who had a boon that protected her from fire, to sit in a burning pyre with Prahlada on her lap. But due to divine protection, Prahlada survived while Holika was burned to ashes.
 
The next day, Harakutir came alive with the sounds of laughter and music as people gathered to celebrate Rangwali Holi. The air was filled with the sweet scent of colors, and the atmosphere was electric with excitement. Their celebration featured traditional Thandai, , a spiced milk drink, and gujiya, a sweet pastry filled with khoya and nuts alongside other Bengali sweets. The evening was filled with soul-stirring performances, including traditional dance and music for their Kuldevta Sree Sree Sridhar Narayan Jew, which ages to 1692 and has been worshipped by eminent saints like Ramakrishna Parhamhans Deb, Shri Shri Mohanananda Brahmachari, Sadhak Bamakhepa and Trailanga Swami to name a few. The deity alongside others was placed in a all silver throne or “jhula” in their adi thakurghar or place of worship.
Harakutir, a 333-year-old heritage house in Kolkata, is a treasure trove of Bengali culture and tradition. This iconic mansion has been hosting several events like: Durga Puja, Kali Puja, Shivratri and Holi celebrations for the past 333 years, making it one of the oldest and most revered puja venues in the city.

At Sahityam (National Literature Festival,Chandigarh)2026, Anish Kanjilal Explores the Convergence of Literature, Leadership and Change
3rd February, Mohali:
“It is said that books do not merely narrate stories; they create stories within us.” With this resonant observation, author and speaker Anish Kanjilal inaugurated an atmosphere of reflection and intellectual vigor at Sahityam 2026, hosted by CGC University, Mohali. Widely regarded as one of India’s largest literature festivals, Sahityam emerged as a dynamic confluence of ideas, scholarship, and the enduring influence of the written word.

The university campus, transformed into a vibrant literary arena, welcomed thousands of books and an equally enthusiastic gathering of readers, scholars, and students. Day One unfolded as a compelling exchange between celebrated voices and inquisitive young minds, united by a shared curiosity about literature’s role in shaping contemporary thought.

A Confluence of Distinguished Voices
The opening day featured an eclectic panel of distinguished personalities, including author and speaker Anish Kanjilal, actress Pankhuri Gidwani, journalist Navjot Randhawa, and Olympian Ashish Kumar Chaudhary. The discussions traversed an expansive intellectual terrain—literature, leadership, language, and the evolving aspirations of Generation Z.

Reflecting on his session, Kanjilal observed that the dialogue flowed organically “from literature to leadership,” underscoring a central premise: books are not confined to shelves; they shape ideologies, movements, and nations.

Language in the Age of Gen Z
One of the most engaging moments emerged during a light-hearted yet perceptive exchange on linguistic evolution. Addressing a predominantly Gen Z audience, Kanjilal humorously juxtaposed traditional expressions such as “alright” and “okay” with today’s minimalist “K.”

Beneath the humor lay a deeper philosophical reflection. Language, he asserted, is in perpetual evolution. “Change is the greatest constant,” he remarked, describing language not as a static construct but as an ongoing progression.

Drawing from both philosophy and science, he invoked the concept of “progression” articulated by Swami Vivekananda, and alluded to notions resembling “time bending” long before they entered mainstream scientific discourse. His larger argument was unmistakable: literature, philosophy, and science do not exist in isolation; they intersect and inform one another in profound ways.

The Transformative Power of Words
Kanjilal reminded the audience that language has repeatedly altered the course of history. Citing Winston Churchill, who famously “mobilised the English language and sent it into battle,” he highlighted how Churchill’s wartime speeches during World War II rekindled national resolve at a moment of existential crisis.

Language, therefore, is not passive expression; it is an instrument of resilience and transformation.

At the same time, he encouraged students to preserve the dignity and richness of language even amid its evolution. A robust vocabulary, he argued, fosters confidence and clarity of thought. Words imbued with nuance—such as “bewitching”—or idiomatic expressions like “boil down to” enhance not merely communication but cognition itself.

Literature as the Architect of Leadership
The discourse expanded beyond language to examine literature’s profound influence on leadership and social transformation.

Kanjilal referenced Leo Tolstoy to illustrate how storytelling carries deep moral and philosophical resonance. Tolstoy’s reflections on greed, morality, and human responsibility profoundly influenced Mahatma Gandhi, particularly in shaping his philosophy of non-violence and Satyagraha. Gandhi’s intellectual formation was further enriched by thinkers such as John Ruskin—clear testimony to how books quietly shape world-altering leaders.

The conversation then turned to political philosophy. Karl Marx’s intellectual journey—from philosophical inquiry to political economy following the “theft of wood” debates of 1842—culminated in seminal works such as The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital. Regardless of ideological alignment, Kanjilal noted, the global impact of Marx’s writings is indisputable. They reshaped geopolitics, influenced revolutions, and contributed significantly to the balance of power in the modern world.

“Imagine a world without communism,” he reflected—not as advocacy, but as recognition of literature’s far-reaching consequences.

From Tolstoy to Marx, from Gandhi to global superpowers, the underlying message was unequivocal: ideas inscribed in books possess the power to transform societies.

The Contemporary Challenge of Teaching and Oratory
The festival also addressed the challenges confronting educators and public speakers in an era marked by shrinking attention spans and digital distractions. Teaching and effective oratory, participants acknowledged, demand renewed adaptability. Yet the remedy, Kanjilal suggested, remains timeless: reading.

A disciplined reading habit cultivates depth, patience, and intellectual rigor. Confidence, he emphasised, is born of knowledge. A well-read mind, he asserted, can command silence even in a restless crowd.

He encapsulated his message in a single imperative: “Read”—perhaps, he suggested, the most powerful word in the English language.

A Call to Intellectual Commitment
Concluding the day’s deliberations, Kanjilal invoked a Scottish proverb: “Many a mickle makes a muckle,” underscoring that incremental intellectual efforts accumulate into transformative change. Literature, he reiterated, intertwines with politics, economics, science, and leadership in ways both subtle and monumental.

In an age defined by rapid linguistic, technological, and ideological evolution, Sahityam 2026 stands as a reminder that books remain humanity’s most steadfast companions. They challenge, refine, and prepare us—often quietly—for leadership and responsibility.

At CGC University, Mohali, Sahityam is not merely a festival. It is a reaffirmation that stories do not conclude on the final page—they begin within us.

Rajesh Babu K Soornaad’s ‘INI’ Raises a Powerful Voice Against Drugs and Child Exploitation in Malayalam Cinema
At a time when Kerala and the rest of India are witnessing increasing concern over drug abuse among school-going children, the upcoming Malayalam film “INI - The Unknown Tomorrow”, spearheaded by producer and music composer Rajesh Babu K Soornaad, arrives as a timely and socially conscious cinematic intervention. More than just a film, INI- The Unknown Tomorrow positions itself as an organic social movement that urges families, educators, and society to confront uncomfortable realities surrounding adolescence, addiction, and child exploitation.

The film tells its story through the eyes of a 13-year-old girl, making its message deeply personal and emotionally resonant. In an era where children are exposed to negative influences at a very young age, INI - The Unknown Tomorrow asks a simple yet disturbing question: Where are today’s children heading, and what kind of future are we preparing for them?

A Story Rooted in Reality

At the heart of INI is Shivada, a young adolescent portrayed with remarkable maturity by child actor Devananda Parveen. Her performance captures the fragile emotional world of a child standing at the crossroads of innocence and harsh reality. Through Shivada’s journey, the film explores how teenage curiosity, peer pressure, and emotional vulnerability can slowly push children towards addiction and exploitation.

Rather than sensationalising drug abuse, INI- The Unknown Tomorrow presents its consequences with honesty and restraint. The narrative highlights how seemingly harmless influences within schools and social circles can turn into life-altering traps. By doing so, the film reflects the silent struggles of countless children whose voices often go unheard.

Rajesh Babu K Soornaad’s Strong Social Commitment

Producer Rajesh Babu K Soornaad, who also serves as the film’s music composer, plays a crucial role in shaping the soul of IN- The Unknown TomorrowI. His involvement goes beyond production, reflecting a deep personal commitment to using cinema as a tool for social awareness. The music composed by Rajesh Babu K Soornaad subtly enhances the emotional depth of the film without overpowering its sensitive subject matter.

Complementing this is the impactful background score by Rev. Dr. Fr. Joy Mathew, which adds intensity to crucial moments, while Biju Mookkunnur also contributes significantly to the film’s musical elements.

Honest Direction and Powerful Performances

Directed by Anil Kaarakkulam, INI- The Unknown Tomorrow adopts a direct and unfiltered storytelling style. The director does not shy away from showing uncomfortable truths—be it the silent negligence of adults, the pressures within school environments, or the fragile mental state of adolescents. The film carefully avoids glorifying substance abuse, instead focusing on its devastating impact on young lives.

Adding further strength to the narrative is actor Shanoop, who has been steadily gaining recognition in Malayalam cinema. His significant role adds emotional weight and depth, reinforcing the film’s strong social relevance.

### Strong Technical Backbone

INI - The Unknown Tomorrow is produced by Rajesh K Babu Sooranad and Sibin Davis under the banners Voks Studios and Aniva Creations. The film is supported by a dedicated and experienced technical team. Shobin C Johnny’s cinematography brings realism and authenticity to the visuals, capturing both the innocence of childhood and the darkness that slowly creeps in.

The film’s editing is handled by Jijo Babu K, ensuring a tight and emotionally engaging narrative flow. Nilambur Sunny serves as the Production Controller, Shanoop* as Project Designer, and Jayaraman Poopathy manages makeup, contributing to the film’s realistic portrayal of its characters.

A Mirror to Today’s Society

Beyond its cinematic value, INI stands as a mirror to society. School life is often described as the most beautiful phase of one’s life—a time filled with dreams, friendships, and hope. But INI dares to ask whether this is still true for today’s children. Are they truly safe? Are we, as a society, doing enough to protect them from harmful influences?

The film does not offer easy solutions. Instead, it urges parents, teachers, policymakers, and the community at large to introspect and take responsibility. Through Shivada’s story, INI reminds viewers that childhood, once lost, can never be reclaimed.

With its strong message, honest storytelling, and committed vision led by Rajesh Babu K Soornaad, INI promises to be more than just another Malayalam film—it aims to spark conversations, awareness, and action against drug abuse and child exploitation in contemporary Ind

 134th IndianOil Durand Cup 
 

Sports Desk:  Asia’s oldest football tournament, the IndianOil Durand Cup, will be back with its 134th Edition and for the first time in its storied history, be hosted in as many as five states with Manipur’s capital Imphal, making a comeback after a two-year gap. The Durand Cup Organising Committee also announced the dates for this year’s tournament to be between July 22- August 23, 2025.

Kokrajhar in Assam will extend their status as Durand Cup hosts for the third consecutive year while Jamshedpur in Jharkhand and Shillong in Meghalaya were added as hosts last year. The century-old tournament shifted its home base to Kolkata – the Mecca of Indian Football, and the capital of West Bengal, from Delhi back in 2019, and, will also continue to hold that status for a sixth consecutive edition.

Since its transition to the East, the Durand Cup has reinstated itself as the country’s premiere competition, growing from 16 teams to 24 teams, including participation from all the Indian Super League (ISL) teams.

Organised by the Eastern Command of the Indian Army on behalf of the three Services, the tournament is unique in the sense that it pits Services teams against India’s best football clubs and over the past couple of editions, has also seen foreign participation with Army teams from neighbouring nations.

The Indian Army’s stated vision of expanding the reach of the historic tournament throughout the East and North-East is also now fully reflected with the choice of host cities this year.

A total of six venues, two in Kolkata (Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan and Kishore Bharti Krirangan) and one each in Imphal (Khuman Lampak stadium), Ranchi (Morhabadi Stadium) or Jamshedpur (JRD Tata Sports Complex), Shillong (Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium) and Kokrajhar (SAI Stadium) have been earmarked for the 134th IndianOil Durand Cup edition.

North East United FC are the defending champions having overcome maximum title-holders Mohun Bagan, in a thrilling final last year to get their historic maiden title.

  *Fortress vs Flair as Mohun Bagan Super Giant lock horns with Bengaluru FC in a blockbuster title clash*
Sports 

 ISL 
 


 Kolkata : Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG) will face Bengaluru FC in the final of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) on April 12, at 7:30 PM IST in a blockbuster winner takes all clash befitting of a much awaited title clash.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference in Kolkata ahead of the final, Mohun Bagan Super Giant Head Coach Jose Molina stressed on the importance of looking forward and not worrying about the past. “I don’t care about what happened in the past. I am trying to do my best for Mohun Bagan Super Giant. We did well to win the League Shield and we are motivated to win the ISL Cup too. I don’t need extra motivation from the fact that we lost the final last year. We are already motivated enough.”

Bengaluru FC Head Coach Gerard Zaragoza, who showed exemplary camaraderie by helping a translate a question for his counterpart Molina, was chuffed about playing the big final in Kolkata. “We are very motivated for the finals and excited for the game. Everything is fine. We are confident and Kolkata is almost like our second home, because we were here for the Durand Cup. We had a good playoffs and we are looking forward to the grand finale.”

His sentiment was echoed by BFC goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, who spoke fondly about his long association with the city. “As you know, my journey as a professional footballer started here and I was very lucky to be getting opportunities to play matches from the beginning. I am grateful for the journey. If you get an opportunity to play big games, big finals, in front of big crowds as a player, it’s a great experience and I am lucky to be here for the match in Kolkata.” Gurpreet also reserved some special praise for the opponents, saying, “Mohun Bagan Super Giant have been the standout team this season and there is no denying that, which is why they won the League Shield.”

Mohun Bagan Super Giant captain Subhasish Bose, who Molina jokingly referred to as a striker in light of his goalscoring form in this edition, shed light on the significance of the venue as a local boy. “I am always thrilled to play in front of our home fans. I wish that the fans support us wholeheartedly against Bengaluru FC tomorrow.”

MBSG are the League Shield Winners, whereas Bengaluru FC finished third in the standings and then cruised past the challenges that fronted them in the eliminator and semi-final to make it to the summit clash.

It is a fourth ISL finals appearance for BFC in just 8 seasons, while MBSG have become the first team to reach this stage three successive times. This fixture is an encore of the ISL 2022-23 showdown, when both these sides had clashed in the season finale, with the Kolkata-based team emerging triumphant via penalties in a very tight contest.

They have the chance to repeat that feat in front of a vociferous home crowd this time around, whereas Bengaluru FC will take confidence from their recent form to distort MBSG’s record of staying unbeaten at home thus far in the current campaign.

ईरान पर अमेरिका और इस्राइल के हमले से पश्चिम एशिया में बने हालात के बीच सरकार ने सोमवार को कहा कि देश में कच्चे तेल और पेट्रोल-डीजल की कहीं कोई तंगी नहीं है। देश में गैस की किल्लत के बीच भारतीय जहाज "नंदा देवी" 46500 मीट्रिक टन LPG लेकर गुजरात के वाडिनार पोर्ट पहुंच गया है। इससे पहले 'शिवालिक' सोमवार शाम मुंद्रा पोर्ट पर पहुंच था।

नंदा देवी जहाज LPG कैरियर दीनदयाल पोर्ट अथॉरिटी के वाडीनार टर्मिनल के पास मिड सी में पहुंचा है। मिड सी में ही नंदा देवी से पूरी 46500 मीट्रिक टन LPG दूसरी शिप में ट्रांसफर की जा रही है। जब ये काम पूरा हो जाएगा तो LPG का आधा स्टॉक एन्नोर पोर्ट में ऑफलोड किया जाएगा और आधा स्टॉक पश्चिम बंगाल के हल्दीआ पोर्ट पर ऑफलोड होगा।

भारत पहुंचने वाला नंदा देवी दूसरा जहाज
एमटी नंदा देवी हाल के दिनों में दूसरा भारतीय एलपीजी जहाज है, जिसने सुरक्षित रूप से स्ट्रेट ऑफ हॉर्मुज पार कर भारतीय तट तक पहुंच बनाई है। इससे ऊर्जा आपूर्ति बनाए रखने के प्रयासों को मजबूती मिली है। इससे एक दिन पहले ही एलपीजी कैरियर शिवालिक करीब 40,000 मीट्रिक टन एलपीजी लेकर मुंद्रा पोर्ट पहुंचा था। अधिकारियों के मुताबिक, इस कार्गो का एक हिस्सा मुंद्रा में उतारा जाएगा, जबकि बाकी एलपीजी को मैंगलोर भेजा जाएगा।

सरकारी आंकड़ों के मुताबिक, फारस की खाड़ी क्षेत्र में होर्मुज जलडमरूमध्य के पश्चिम में 22 भारतीय जहाज मौजूद थे, जिनमें 611 नाविक सवार थे. सरकार लगातार इन जहाजों और नाविकों की सुरक्षा पर नजर बनाए हुए है। इसके अलावा संयुक्त अरब अमीरात से करीब 81,000 टन कच्चा तेल लेकर आ रहा जहाज ‘जग लाडकी’ भी मुंद्रा बंदरगाह की ओर रवाना हो चुका है। इस जहाज और उसके चालक दल के सुरक्षित होने की भी पुष्टि की गई है। मंत्रालय ने बताया है कि देश के सभी प्रमुख बंदरगाह जहाजों की आवाजाही और माल ढुलाई पर कड़ी निगरानी रख रहे हैं। साथ ही शिपिंग कंपनियों और व्यापार से जुड़े हितधारकों को हर संभव सहायता दी जा रही है। इसमें लंगरगाह, किराया और भंडारण शुल्क में रियायतें भी शामिल हैं, ताकि आपूर्ति बाधित न हो। 

आम उपभोक्ताओं के लिए बड़ी राहत
‘शिवालिक’ और ‘नंदा देवी’ जैसे जहाजों का सुरक्षित भारत पहुंचना न सिर्फ ऊर्जा आपूर्ति के लिहाज से महत्वपूर्ण है, बल्कि यह भी दिखाता है कि चुनौतीपूर्ण परिस्थितियों में भी भारत अपनी सप्लाई चेन को बनाए रखने में सक्षम है। इन जहाजों से आई एलपीजी लाखों नहीं, बल्कि करोड़ों सिलेंडरों की जरूरत पूरी कर सकती है, जो आम उपभोक्ताओं के लिए बड़ी राहत की खबर है।

"Capturing Holi Splendor: Rohan Saha's Lens Meets Harakutir's Vibrant Celebrations and Kolkata's Iconic Rolls-Royce Procession"
The Rolls-Royce Holi procession in Kolkata has a rich history dating back to 1921 when the car was imported from England by Mukund Lal Bagla, a prominent Marwari businessman. The tradition began when his son, Ram Kumar Bagla, started using the Rolls-Royce to carry Radha-Krishna idols during Holi, a practice continued by the family.

The members of the royal Harakutir Ray-banerjee family of Pathuriaghata, Kolkata, West Bengal, meanwhile just celebrated their Holika Dahan and Holi at their premises in a vibrant, unique and joyous affair, reflecting the spirit of India's Festival of Colors. 
Harakutir’s iconic Holi festivities began this monday, with the traditional Holika Dahan ceremony, where a 15 feet tall effigy, made of of hay and wood was set up on fire in a bonfire to symbolize the victory of good over evil. The event was marked by prayers, chanting, and the offering of cimar (puffs of burning cow dung) to ward off evil spirits. The tradition comes from a story in the Bhagavata Purana about the demon king Hiranyakashipu. He wanted everyone to worship him instead of Vishnu. However, his son Prahlada remained a devoted follower of Vishnu. Angry with his son, Hiranyakashipu asked his sister Holika, who had a boon that protected her from fire, to sit in a burning pyre with Prahlada on her lap. But due to divine protection, Prahlada survived while Holika was burned to ashes.
 
The next day, Harakutir came alive with the sounds of laughter and music as people gathered to celebrate Rangwali Holi. The air was filled with the sweet scent of colors, and the atmosphere was electric with excitement. Their celebration featured traditional Thandai, , a spiced milk drink, and gujiya, a sweet pastry filled with khoya and nuts alongside other Bengali sweets. The evening was filled with soul-stirring performances, including traditional dance and music for their Kuldevta Sree Sree Sridhar Narayan Jew, which ages to 1692 and has been worshipped by eminent saints like Ramakrishna Parhamhans Deb, Shri Shri Mohanananda Brahmachari, Sadhak Bamakhepa and Trailanga Swami to name a few. The deity alongside others was placed in a all silver throne or “jhula” in their adi thakurghar or place of worship.

At Sahityam (National Literature Festival,Chandigarh)2026, Anish Kanjilal Explores the Convergence of Literature, Leadership and Change
3rd February, Mohali:
“It is said that books do not merely narrate stories; they create stories within us.” With this resonant observation, author and speaker Anish Kanjilal inaugurated an atmosphere of reflection and intellectual vigor at Sahityam 2026, hosted by CGC University, Mohali. Widely regarded as one of India’s largest literature festivals, Sahityam emerged as a dynamic confluence of ideas, scholarship, and the enduring influence of the written word.

The university campus, transformed into a vibrant literary arena, welcomed thousands of books and an equally enthusiastic gathering of readers, scholars, and students. Day One unfolded as a compelling exchange between celebrated voices and inquisitive young minds, united by a shared curiosity about literature’s role in shaping contemporary thought.

A Confluence of Distinguished Voices
The opening day featured an eclectic panel of distinguished personalities, including author and speaker Anish Kanjilal, actress Pankhuri Gidwani, journalist Navjot Randhawa, and Olympian Ashish Kumar Chaudhary. The discussions traversed an expansive intellectual terrain—literature, leadership, language, and the evolving aspirations of Generation Z.

Reflecting on his session, Kanjilal observed that the dialogue flowed organically “from literature to leadership,” underscoring a central premise: books are not confined to shelves; they shape ideologies, movements, and nations.

Language in the Age of Gen Z
One of the most engaging moments emerged during a light-hearted yet perceptive exchange on linguistic evolution. Addressing a predominantly Gen Z audience, Kanjilal humorously juxtaposed traditional expressions such as “alright” and “okay” with today’s minimalist “K.”

Beneath the humor lay a deeper philosophical reflection. Language, he asserted, is in perpetual evolution. “Change is the greatest constant,” he remarked, describing language not as a static construct but as an ongoing progression.

Drawing from both philosophy and science, he invoked the concept of “progression” articulated by Swami Vivekananda, and alluded to notions resembling “time bending” long before they entered mainstream scientific discourse. His larger argument was unmistakable: literature, philosophy, and science do not exist in isolation; they intersect and inform one another in profound ways.

The Transformative Power of Words
Kanjilal reminded the audience that language has repeatedly altered the course of history. Citing Winston Churchill, who famously “mobilised the English language and sent it into battle,” he highlighted how Churchill’s wartime speeches during World War II rekindled national resolve at a moment of existential crisis.

Language, therefore, is not passive expression; it is an instrument of resilience and transformation.

At the same time, he encouraged students to preserve the dignity and richness of language even amid its evolution. A robust vocabulary, he argued, fosters confidence and clarity of thought. Words imbued with nuance—such as “bewitching”—or idiomatic expressions like “boil down to” enhance not merely communication but cognition itself.

Literature as the Architect of Leadership
The discourse expanded beyond language to examine literature’s profound influence on leadership and social transformation.

Kanjilal referenced Leo Tolstoy to illustrate how storytelling carries deep moral and philosophical resonance. Tolstoy’s reflections on greed, morality, and human responsibility profoundly influenced Mahatma Gandhi, particularly in shaping his philosophy of non-violence and Satyagraha. Gandhi’s intellectual formation was further enriched by thinkers such as John Ruskin—clear testimony to how books quietly shape world-altering leaders.

The conversation then turned to political philosophy. Karl Marx’s intellectual journey—from philosophical inquiry to political economy following the “theft of wood” debates of 1842—culminated in seminal works such as The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital. Regardless of ideological alignment, Kanjilal noted, the global impact of Marx’s writings is indisputable. They reshaped geopolitics, influenced revolutions, and contributed significantly to the balance of power in the modern world.

“Imagine a world without communism,” he reflected—not as advocacy, but as recognition of literature’s far-reaching consequences.

From Tolstoy to Marx, from Gandhi to global superpowers, the underlying message was unequivocal: ideas inscribed in books possess the power to transform societies.

The Contemporary Challenge of Teaching and Oratory
The festival also addressed the challenges confronting educators and public speakers in an era marked by shrinking attention spans and digital distractions. Teaching and effective oratory, participants acknowledged, demand renewed adaptability. Yet the remedy, Kanjilal suggested, remains timeless: reading.

A disciplined reading habit cultivates depth, patience, and intellectual rigor. Confidence, he emphasised, is born of knowledge. A well-read mind, he asserted, can command silence even in a restless crowd.

He encapsulated his message in a single imperative: “Read”—perhaps, he suggested, the most powerful word in the English language.

A Call to Intellectual Commitment
Concluding the day’s deliberations, Kanjilal invoked a Scottish proverb: “Many a mickle makes a muckle,” underscoring that incremental intellectual efforts accumulate into transformative change. Literature, he reiterated, intertwines with politics, economics, science, and leadership in ways both subtle and monumental.

In an age defined by rapid linguistic, technological, and ideological evolution, Sahityam 2026 stands as a reminder that books remain humanity’s most steadfast companions. They challenge, refine, and prepare us—often quietly—for leadership and responsibility.

At CGC University, Mohali, Sahityam is not merely a festival. It is a reaffirmation that stories do not conclude on the final page—they begin within us.

Rajesh Babu K Soornaad’s ‘INI’ Raises a Powerful Voice Against Drugs and Child Exploitation in Malayalam Cinema
At a time when Kerala and the rest of India are witnessing increasing concern over drug abuse among school-going children, the upcoming Malayalam film “INI - The Unknown Tomorrow”, spearheaded by producer and music composer Rajesh Babu K Soornaad, arrives as a timely and socially conscious cinematic intervention. More than just a film, INI- The Unknown Tomorrow positions itself as an organic social movement that urges families, educators, and society to confront uncomfortable realities surrounding adolescence, addiction, and child exploitation.

The film tells its story through the eyes of a 13-year-old girl, making its message deeply personal and emotionally resonant. In an era where children are exposed to negative influences at a very young age, INI - The Unknown Tomorrow asks a simple yet disturbing question: Where are today’s children heading, and what kind of future are we preparing for them?

A Story Rooted in Reality

At the heart of INI is Shivada, a young adolescent portrayed with remarkable maturity by child actor Devananda Parveen. Her performance captures the fragile emotional world of a child standing at the crossroads of innocence and harsh reality. Through Shivada’s journey, the film explores how teenage curiosity, peer pressure, and emotional vulnerability can slowly push children towards addiction and exploitation.

Rather than sensationalising drug abuse, INI- The Unknown Tomorrow presents its consequences with honesty and restraint. The narrative highlights how seemingly harmless influences within schools and social circles can turn into life-altering traps. By doing so, the film reflects the silent struggles of countless children whose voices often go unheard.

Rajesh Babu K Soornaad’s Strong Social Commitment

Producer Rajesh Babu K Soornaad, who also serves as the film’s music composer, plays a crucial role in shaping the soul of IN- The Unknown TomorrowI. His involvement goes beyond production, reflecting a deep personal commitment to using cinema as a tool for social awareness. The music composed by Rajesh Babu K Soornaad subtly enhances the emotional depth of the film without overpowering its sensitive subject matter.

Complementing this is the impactful background score by Rev. Dr. Fr. Joy Mathew, which adds intensity to crucial moments, while Biju Mookkunnur also contributes significantly to the film’s musical elements.

Honest Direction and Powerful Performances

Directed by Anil Kaarakkulam, INI- The Unknown Tomorrow adopts a direct and unfiltered storytelling style. The director does not shy away from showing uncomfortable truths—be it the silent negligence of adults, the pressures within school environments, or the fragile mental state of adolescents. The film carefully avoids glorifying substance abuse, instead focusing on its devastating impact on young lives.

Adding further strength to the narrative is actor Shanoop, who has been steadily gaining recognition in Malayalam cinema. His significant role adds emotional weight and depth, reinforcing the film’s strong social relevance.

### Strong Technical Backbone

INI - The Unknown Tomorrow is produced by Rajesh K Babu Sooranad and Sibin Davis under the banners Voks Studios and Aniva Creations. The film is supported by a dedicated and experienced technical team. Shobin C Johnny’s cinematography brings realism and authenticity to the visuals, capturing both the innocence of childhood and the darkness that slowly creeps in.

The film’s editing is handled by Jijo Babu K, ensuring a tight and emotionally engaging narrative flow. Nilambur Sunny serves as the Production Controller, Shanoop* as Project Designer, and Jayaraman Poopathy manages makeup, contributing to the film’s realistic portrayal of its characters.

A Mirror to Today’s Society

Beyond its cinematic value, INI stands as a mirror to society. School life is often described as the most beautiful phase of one’s life—a time filled with dreams, friendships, and hope. But INI dares to ask whether this is still true for today’s children. Are they truly safe? Are we, as a society, doing enough to protect them from harmful influences?

The film does not offer easy solutions. Instead, it urges parents, teachers, policymakers, and the community at large to introspect and take responsibility. Through Shivada’s story, INI reminds viewers that childhood, once lost, can never be reclaimed.

With its strong message, honest storytelling, and committed vision led by Rajesh Babu K Soornaad, INI promises to be more than just another Malayalam film—it aims to spark conversations, awareness, and action against drug abuse and child exploitation in contemporary Ind

 134th IndianOil Durand Cup 
 

Sports Desk:  Asia’s oldest football tournament, the IndianOil Durand Cup, will be back with its 134th Edition and for the first time in its storied history, be hosted in as many as five states with Manipur’s capital Imphal, making a comeback after a two-year gap. The Durand Cup Organising Committee also announced the dates for this year’s tournament to be between July 22- August 23, 2025.

Kokrajhar in Assam will extend their status as Durand Cup hosts for the third consecutive year while Jamshedpur in Jharkhand and Shillong in Meghalaya were added as hosts last year. The century-old tournament shifted its home base to Kolkata – the Mecca of Indian Football, and the capital of West Bengal, from Delhi back in 2019, and, will also continue to hold that status for a sixth consecutive edition.

Since its transition to the East, the Durand Cup has reinstated itself as the country’s premiere competition, growing from 16 teams to 24 teams, including participation from all the Indian Super League (ISL) teams.

Organised by the Eastern Command of the Indian Army on behalf of the three Services, the tournament is unique in the sense that it pits Services teams against India’s best football clubs and over the past couple of editions, has also seen foreign participation with Army teams from neighbouring nations.

The Indian Army’s stated vision of expanding the reach of the historic tournament throughout the East and North-East is also now fully reflected with the choice of host cities this year.

A total of six venues, two in Kolkata (Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan and Kishore Bharti Krirangan) and one each in Imphal (Khuman Lampak stadium), Ranchi (Morhabadi Stadium) or Jamshedpur (JRD Tata Sports Complex), Shillong (Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium) and Kokrajhar (SAI Stadium) have been earmarked for the 134th IndianOil Durand Cup edition.

North East United FC are the defending champions having overcome maximum title-holders Mohun Bagan, in a thrilling final last year to get their historic maiden title.

  *Fortress vs Flair as Mohun Bagan Super Giant lock horns with Bengaluru FC in a blockbuster title clash*
Sports 

 ISL 
 


 Kolkata : Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG) will face Bengaluru FC in the final of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) on April 12, at 7:30 PM IST in a blockbuster winner takes all clash befitting of a much awaited title clash.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference in Kolkata ahead of the final, Mohun Bagan Super Giant Head Coach Jose Molina stressed on the importance of looking forward and not worrying about the past. “I don’t care about what happened in the past. I am trying to do my best for Mohun Bagan Super Giant. We did well to win the League Shield and we are motivated to win the ISL Cup too. I don’t need extra motivation from the fact that we lost the final last year. We are already motivated enough.”

Bengaluru FC Head Coach Gerard Zaragoza, who showed exemplary camaraderie by helping a translate a question for his counterpart Molina, was chuffed about playing the big final in Kolkata. “We are very motivated for the finals and excited for the game. Everything is fine. We are confident and Kolkata is almost like our second home, because we were here for the Durand Cup. We had a good playoffs and we are looking forward to the grand finale.”

His sentiment was echoed by BFC goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, who spoke fondly about his long association with the city. “As you know, my journey as a professional footballer started here and I was very lucky to be getting opportunities to play matches from the beginning. I am grateful for the journey. If you get an opportunity to play big games, big finals, in front of big crowds as a player, it’s a great experience and I am lucky to be here for the match in Kolkata.” Gurpreet also reserved some special praise for the opponents, saying, “Mohun Bagan Super Giant have been the standout team this season and there is no denying that, which is why they won the League Shield.”

Mohun Bagan Super Giant captain Subhasish Bose, who Molina jokingly referred to as a striker in light of his goalscoring form in this edition, shed light on the significance of the venue as a local boy. “I am always thrilled to play in front of our home fans. I wish that the fans support us wholeheartedly against Bengaluru FC tomorrow.”

MBSG are the League Shield Winners, whereas Bengaluru FC finished third in the standings and then cruised past the challenges that fronted them in the eliminator and semi-final to make it to the summit clash.

It is a fourth ISL finals appearance for BFC in just 8 seasons, while MBSG have become the first team to reach this stage three successive times. This fixture is an encore of the ISL 2022-23 showdown, when both these sides had clashed in the season finale, with the Kolkata-based team emerging triumphant via penalties in a very tight contest.

They have the chance to repeat that feat in front of a vociferous home crowd this time around, whereas Bengaluru FC will take confidence from their recent form to distort MBSG’s record of staying unbeaten at home thus far in the current campaign.
