Explained: Why Delhi cooled down, even as El Niño emerged | Delhi News

Delhi woke up to cooler air and rain on Friday after days of punishing heat. The timing, however, raised a question: how did the national capital cool down just as the emergence of El Niño, a climate phenomenon historically linked to weaker monsoons and hotter weather over parts of India, was confirmed? To understand why Delhi’s weather has swung repeatedly between intense heat, dust storms and thunderstorms this pre-monsoon season, it is important to look at both the weather systems shaping conditions across north India and the broader climate signals emerging elsewhere. The immediate reason was a fast-moving squall line, a chain of intense thunderstorms, that developed over Punjab on Thursday evening and travelled eastwards across Haryana into Delhi-NCR overnight. The system brought light to moderate rainfall to many parts of Punjab and Haryana, accompanied by strong winds, including gusts reaching 111 kmph in Sangrur. “This squall line started over Punjab on Thursday evening and travelled across Haryana, causing light to moderate rainfall at many places in central and eastern Punjab and Haryana, along with …

Farewell Asha Bhosle: Songstress who emerged from the shadow of ‘Lata’s little sister’ to becoming melody queen

The death of Asha Bhosle, one of the most celebrated singers of Indian music, marks the end of an era. Asha was the last of the original great singers of Bollywood, voices that shaped the industry and the nation’s tastes. Together with her sister Lata Mangeshkar and fellow legends Mukesh, Mohammed Rafi, and Kishore Kumar, she dominated the Hindi music scene for over half a century. And now, as the junior-most member of the elite club, she is the last to depart, truly calling curtains on an era that will never return.

(Photo by SUJIT JAISWAL / AFP) (AFP) The little sister who grew up Asha began her singing career at the age of 9 in 1943. By then, Lata, her older sister, was already establishing herself in the industry. By the end of the decade, Lata was the first choice of most composers. And through the 50s, Asha had to contend with being called Lata’s sister. Even …

(Photos: PTI + AP) While the war in Ukraine drags into its fourth year, US President Donald Trump has managed to enforce a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, a pause that brought relief to millions of Gazans who lived through 24 months of devastation. The Middle East saw further escalation when Iran–Israel tensions resurfaced in June, prompting the US to strike three Iranian nuclear facilities under Operation Midnight Hammer. Meanwhile, Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a US-brokered peace agreement, ending decades of conflict. But even as European and the Middle East conflicts dominate global headlines, a quieter yet dangerous churn has unfolded in South Asia, which has now emerged as one …

Amid Sooryavanshi and 83, a small OTT series emerged as the best of 2021: 25 Years of Indian Cinema | Bollywood News

The Covid-induced lockdown resulted in shuttered theatres, production slowdown and delayed releases which were further affected by reduced footfalls because viewers were slow to return to public spaces. It impacted both 2021 and 2022, with just a handful of films which stood out over 24 months. Inevitably, 2021 was one of the weakest years for films all over the globe, and Bollywood was no exception. Two of the biggest films of 2021, meant to release in March 2020, finally came out at the end of 2021. Sooryavanshi was the fourth edition of Rohit Shetty’s cop universe starring Akshay Kumar-Ranveer Singh-Ajay Devgan, with the former leading from the front, the second following through, and the latter showing up as a taali-seeti endnote. Same old Shetty, bad Muslims, the token good Muslim, and the brave Mumbai cops going bang-bang.
