Sumukhi Suresh says female comics get cancelled every day: ‘Just read our comments section’ | Web-series News

Published by Parlour News

Sumukhi Suresh became the only Indian comic to represent India at the Netflix Is A Joke Festival, which took place in Los Angeles, California last month. In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, we ask her candidly if Netflix is really a joke, she quips, “No, I was really a big joke on Netflix.” When we ask her to crack a joke on the streaming platform, she shot back, “You know my style, the joke is always on me.” Besides stand-up comedy, Sumukhi continues to dabble in “a thousand things so that I become one interesting person.” Did you fear alienating the foreign audience while doing a very culturally specific set in LA? I don’t think of alienation because the moment you get into that, you have to pander to too many things. And my stand-up is quite anecdotal. If I try and cater to everyone, my story would get diluted. Emotion-vise, it’s universal. That’s the hope. I don’t explain it too much in any language because then the joke gets lost. I just try to …

Candidates 2026: Javokhir Sindarov’s whirlwind start makes him firm favourite at halfway stage in Open section | Chess News

Published by Webster

3 min readApr 6, 2026 07:19 PM IST The race for the Open event title at the Candidates 2026 tournament has effectively become a two-way battle between Javokhir Sindarov and Fabiano Caruana. However, the Uzbek’s lead is so commanding that even at the halfway stage, it would now be a big shock for pre-tournament favourite Caruana to win the event. Competing in his first Candidates, Sindarov’s dominance has been absolute. He has forced decisive results against five opponents in a tournament where a draw is often as good as a win. He took down Indian hope R Praggnanandhaa, Caruana, Hikaru Nakamura, Wei Yi and Andrey Esipenko while only Anish Giri and Matthias Blübaum could hold him to a draw. Since the introduction of the current Candidates format, a score of 6.0/7 is the best-ever start by any eventual winner, including such names as Magnus Carlsen, Viswanathan Anand, Sergey Karjakin, Caruana, Ian Nepomniachtchi (twice) and D Gukesh. But the Uzbek phenom stands above the rest at the halfway mark, outscoring Nepomniachtchi’s previous-best run by half a …
