COVID-19 Pandemic crisis. • Hon’ble Minister, in his opening remark mentioned that, COVID-19 is probably the biggest crisis in human history, where the entire world is fighting with an invisible enemy. Citing some of the examples from across the world, the sheer challenge with Mumbai, Maharashtra and to India is that of the biggest & dense population. Shri. Aaditya Thackeray • In order to fight with this, apart from lockdown, social distancing and Minister, Tourism and other measures, Maharashtra has focused extensively on rapid Environment, GoM testing of COVID-19 patients. • As on last evening, there were 75,858 COVID tests have been carried out, among which only 6% tested positive. Among the positives, 84% of the cases are found with non symptomatic patients, 14% are with mild symptoms and 2% with visible symptoms. Therefore, the spread of COVID would reduce once we identify such patients at early stage and treat them. • This is very crucial turning point where globally, the Health Industry is going to transform completely.

  • The Lunchbox (2013) an NFDC Film Krrish 3 (2013)
    The Lunchbox (2013) an NFDC Film Hindi - 104 min - Drama | Romance "Dabba" (original title) Director: Ritesh Batra The Dabbawalas (lunchbox service) of Mumbai deliver 170’000 lunchboxes every day and according to a Harvard study, only one in a million ever goes astray. This movie is the story of that one mistaken delivery which connects a young housewife Ila to a lonely widower Saajan in the dusk of his life as they build a fantasy world together through notes in the lunchbox…. Both find a dream to hold on to. Ila begins a fantastical affair with a mystery suitor, pouring her heart into cooking meals for him. Saajan looks forward to lunch box deliveries from a mystery woman every day. As the lunchbox goes back and forth, this fantasy becomes so elaborate that it threatens to overwhelm their reality. The film is the story of the life of which we dream versus the life we live in, and of the courage it takes to turn out fantasies into reality. The film was released in February 2014 in the US and the New York Times described it as “A perfect balance of tact and sentimentality”. Cast: Irrfan Khan, Nimrat Kaur, Nawazuddin Siddiqui Krrish 3 (2013) Hindi - 152 min - Action | Sci-Fi Director: Rakesh Roshan Krishna aka Krrish is living a happy married life in India with his wife Priya and scientist dad Rohit, while helping the masses with his superpowers and struggling to keep a steady job.

  • 'New Outsider' Revive Nativist Politics in Mumbai?
    Will the ‘new outsider’ revive nativist politics in Mumbai? The formation of Maha Vikas Aghadi by the Shiv Sena, NCP, and the Congress has put both the MNS and the BJP in Maharashtra in a crisis Sumeet Mhaskar 16 February, 2020 MNS chief Raj Thackeray is doing all he can to get back into the political landscape of Maharashtra after the formation of the Maha Vikas Aghadi. File photo: PTI Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS)’s decision to shed their pretensions of inclusive politics and explicitly embrace Hindutva ideology is yet another desperate attempt to revive their presence in Maharashtra’s political landscape. After the north-Indian and Gujarati ‘outsiders,’ MNS has decided to focus on Bangladeshi and Pakistani Muslim outsiders for injecting life into their otherwise fragile political existence. More importantly, MNS president Raj Thackeray extended his support to the CAA. Previously too, Raj Thackeray had argued in favour of deporting Bangladeshi and Pakistani immigrants. However, about two months ago he had opposed the introduction of CAA and NRC. Raj Thackeray argued in December that Amit Shah has introduced CAA- NRC to divert people’s attention from the economic slowdown. He further stated that our systems had failed to cater to the needs of our own people, and therefore there was no need to bring in more people and give them citizenship – irrespective of their religious affiliation. However, the formation of Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) by the Shiv Sena, NCP, and the Congress has put both the MNS and the BJP in the state in crisis. Since Bal Thackeray’s death in 2012, the Shiv Sena has been reduced to a helpless younger brother by the BJP.
