Published by Webster

Whenever Jake Fraser-McGurk walks out to bat in the nets at Arun Jaitley Stadium, a couple of Delhi Capitals staff would clear the groundstaff in front of the sightscreen and cow corner so that no one gets hurt. It’s no surprise as the 22-year-old Aussie, who came as a replacement player for Lungi Ngidi, has taken the Indian Premier League (IPL) by storm with his power-hitting. Jake explained his gameplan at the mid-innings break after his 27-ball 84 against Mumbai Indians on Saturday. “My role is to go out there and score as many as possible in the first six. If I go on, I go on. If I get ones and twos, it’s either because I’ve mishit it or maybe it’s the last ball of the over,” he told the broadcasters. What catches the eye is that the power he generates comes without any footwork. For Jake, it is just ‘stand and deliver’. On Saturday in Delhi, not even Jasprit Bumrah, the one bowler who has held his own through IPL 2024, was spared. …

But a new report from the American Lung Association highlights the particular advantages for children, especially those vulnerable to respiratory illness. Based on a model in which all new vehicles sold by 2035 are zero-tailpipe emission, the group concludes that there would be 2.7 million fewer asthma attacks among children, as well as 147,000 fewer acute case of bronchitis.

Switching gears to Govinda mode

Published by Webster

Right from the beginning of her movie career, Radhika Madan established her penchant for strong characters. It became more pronounced this year with Kuttey, Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo, Kacchey Limbu, and Sajini Shinde Ka Viral Video. Her pursuit for progressive storytelling continues with her upcoming movies, Sanaa and the Soorarai Pottru remake with Akshay Kumar. “[Apart from being an actor], I am also a viewer. I get bored of seeing the same things again and again. So, when a story resonates with me and I feel I have never seen something like it before, I get excited. I also look at what the film is trying to say. Will it make a difference? Movies that stir a conversation are close to my heart,” she reflects.  But Madan also understands that an actor must be versatile above all else. So, if her filmography is populated with serious offerings, she is keen to balance them with light-hearted mainstream stories. “I have a Govinda in me as well. I thrived on those films growing up,” she grins. “But …
