Punjab-Advance-English.Pdf Prakash Purb Guru Granth Sahib Ji (1st September 2019) 2 Punjab Advance August 2016 Editorial "Surprised on the exclusion of Punjab from the list of states to be visited by the Inter-Min - isterial Central Team to assess losses in flood-affected areas in different States. Request HM @AmitShah ji to direct the Central Team to visit Punjab to assess the huge losses," This tweet by the Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh sent the officials of the Union Min - istry concerned into a huddle. Yes, the state that had been feeding the nation for the last 70 years, had been surprisingly, but conveniently, ignored while preparing a list of flood- hit states entitled to special Central assistance. The Centre was quick to amend the order, saying the Centre will be sending a team to Punjab to assess the damage due to the recent floods in several parts of the state. The amended announcement came barely a couple of hours after Capt Amarinder Singh’s tweet, protestinig against the state being left out from the list of states identified for on- the-spot assessment of the flood situation by an inter-ministerial central team (IMCT). As per the original order the IMCT had been mandated to visit the flood affected states of Meghalya, Assam, Tripura, Bihar, Uttrakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Kerala, for making final recommendations to the central government for allocation of special assistance. The Central team ignoring Punjab was all the more surprising, as the state Chief Minister had already written to the Prime Minister seeking a special flood relief package of Rs 1,000 crore to deal with the losses resulting from the floods. It is estimated, that the state has suffered losses worth Rs 2000 crore due to the floods. Flooding in the Sutlej due to the discharge of water from Bhakra dam, the heaviest since 1988, had caused extensive damage to the standing crops and inundated residential areas in the villages.The state health department is providing healthcare and treatment serv - ices through toll free number 104 in the flood affected areas of the state. The civil sur - geons have been instructed to take immediate action to control any epidemic that may spread in the wake of the floods. Pakistan added to the woes of the state by polluting the Sutlej with waters from the tanneries. With the IMCT team assessing the damage, the state is bearing the expenses to provide relief to the flood-hit. The special relief ball is now in the Centre’s court.

  • Has the Advent of Social Media Ended the Culture of Superstardom in Bollywood?

Abstract: Superstar as a term is synonymous with Bollywood. The glamorous world of Bollywood has witnessed the rise of several stars, making a mark with their talent, charm and charisma. While some manage to swoon the audience over their looks, there are some who sweep them off their feet and are tagged as the Superstars of Bollywood! From Dilip Kumar to Shah Rukh Khan, B-town has many names in this list of superstars. But lately, we only have stars. The culture of superstar has become redundant. Reason? May be the advent of social media. With easy accessibility and direct contact with a star over social media has brought down the curiosity that once existed around the film stars. The kind of stardom that has been enjoyed by the likes of Rajesh Khanna, Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn, is missing with the actors of the newer generation.

    Bobbytalkscinema.Com Responses/ Comments on “100 Best Performances of Hindi Cinema” in the year 2009-10-11. submitted on 13 October 2009 bollywooddeewana bollywooddeewana.blogspot.com/ I can't help but feel you left out some important people, how about Manoj Kumar in Upkar or Shaheed (i haven't seen that) but he always made strong nationalistic movies rather than Sunny in Deol in Damini Meenakshi Sheshadri's performance in that film was great too, such a pity she didn't even earn a filmfare nomination for her performance, its said to be the reason on why she quit acting Also you left out Shammi Kappor (Junglee, Teesri MANZIL ETC), shammi oozed total energy and is one of my favourite actors from 60's bollywood Rati Agnihotri in Ek duuje ke Liye Mala Sinha in Aankhen Suchitra Sen in Aandhi Sanjeev Kumar in Aandhi Ashok Kumar in Mahal Mumtaz in Khilona Reena Roy in Nagin/aasha Sharmila in Aradhana Rajendra Kuamr in Kanoon Time wouldn't permit me to list all the other memorable ones, which is why i can never make a list like this bobbysing submitted on 13 October 2009 Hi, As I mentioned in my post, you are right that I may have missed out many important acts. And yes, I admit that out of the many names mentioned, some of them surely deserve a place among the best. So I have made some changes in the list as per your valuable suggestion. Manoj Kumar in Shaheed (Now Inlcuded in the Main 100) Meenakshi Sheshadri in Damini (Now Included in the Main 100) Shammi Kapoor in Teesri Manzil (Now Included in the Main 100) Sanjeev Kumar in Aandhi (Now Included in Worth Mentioning Performances) Sharmila Togore in Aradhana (Now Included in Worth Mentioning Performances) Sunny Deol in Damini (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) Mehmood in Pyar Kiye Ja (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) Nagarjun in Shiva (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) I hope you will approve the changes made as per your suggestions.

    The time evolution of iconographic conventions in the public sphere is a fascinating thing. Of course it is obvious that a more relevant sphere of enquiry is the origin of specific iconographic patterns and their semiotic significance. But that is something for the semioticians and culture theorists of the popular to decipher. I am instead fascinated by how these conventions evolve-why some things don’t change while others change radically in a fairly short time frame? Anyone passing through a small town in North India can’t help notice the proliferation of fruit juice sellers. I am not talking about the seasonal sugarcane juice sellers but instead fixed shops which run through the year. These establishments, which came into being in a big way in the late seventies-early eighties, were aided by two technological developments-one, the introduction of the “mixie” at affordable prices and second the availability of fruits and vegetables from distant parts of the country because of the transport revolution. The mixie, in reality a pseudo food processor became common as a kitchen appliance only when relatively cheap local clones began to be sold. The fruit juice seller would sell mango milk shakes and some other juices during the summers, “mausami” juice through the year (since this has an almost totemic hold on our psyche as “the” health drink) and carrot and pomegranate juice in the winters. It is important to realize that until the introduction of packaged fruit juices, juice was considered a relative luxury-one had seasonal fruit at home but juice was something for the ailing (anyone would recall the cluster of fruit juice sellers outside of hospitals- and papaya vendors of course!).
