POPULARITY
In this episode, hosted by Kohinoor, Refie Redzuan opens up about what it truly means to “lose you to love me.” Through a deeply personal lens, he shares what it feels like to let go of past versions of himself in order to move closer to who he's meant to be on the journey of healing. The courage to release old identities often comes in moments of forced change, revealing the unexpected beauty of starting over. Together, they reflect on how loss—whether of people, love, relationships, friendships, beliefs, or ego—can become the doorway to genuine self-love and clarity. This conversation speaks to anyone standing at a crossroads between who they were and who they're becoming. It's a reminder that the painful process of becoming whole often begins with the decision to let go of what—and who—no longer serves you, making space for a more grounded, authentic life.Support this podcast— https://buymeacoffee.com/refie

It's Wednesday, March 5th, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. India's Steel Industry Faces Tariff Fallout India's steel industry was on a growth path—until US tariffs disrupted global trade flows. With Washington slapping 25% tariffs on steel from Mexico and Canada and doubling duties on Chinese imports, China's steel exports to the US have become unviable. This surplus steel now threatens to flood India, driving prices down and squeezing margins. “India becomes the natural target for Chinese steel at the worst possible time,” warns Karan Pahuja of ISSDA. While some see opportunity—like Abhyuday Jindal of Jindal Stainless, who notes that Indian exports to the US may gain—others worry that surplus steel from Korea and Japan could also hit domestic markets. The industry is now looking to the Indian government for protective measures. BSE Stock Tumbles Amid SEBI Proposal—But Is Panic Justified? BSE shares plunged 20% after SEBI's February 24 consultation paper raised concerns over trading volumes. At issue is SEBI's plan to change how open interest is calculated in index derivatives, shifting to a delta-based method to reduce systemic risks. But fears may be overblown—SEBI's own data shows that in 89% of cases last November, the proposed limits wouldn't have been breached. Additionally, SEBI's move to restrict derivatives to broader indices aims to prevent manipulation, but exchanges could tweak index compositions to comply. With single-stock derivatives also facing new limits, analysts believe only low-liquidity stocks will be affected. After four days of declines, BSE shares rebounded 2%, signaling investors are reassessing the panic. SEBI's ‘Mitra' Helps Investors Recover Forgotten Mutual Funds Millions of old mutual fund investments remain unclaimed, particularly those opened before PAN was mandatory in 2006. SEBI's new digital assistant, Mitra, developed by KFin Technologies and CAMS, aims to fix this. Investors can visit MFcentral.com, enter their details (beyond just PAN), and track down inactive folios. While verification remains a challenge for accounts with outdated contact details, experts see Mitra as a game-changer. “It's a much-needed tool to consolidate scattered investments,” says Abhishek Kumar of SahajMoney. Still in beta, Mitra marks SEBI's latest effort to safeguard investor wealth and modernize financial tracking. Adani Wilmar Expands Into Packaged Foods With ₹603 Crore Deal Adani Wilmar, known for its Fortune and Kohinoor brands, is strengthening its foothold in Indian kitchens. The company is acquiring G.D. Foods—makers of Tops ketchup and noodles—for ₹603 crore as part of its ₹1,000 crore push into packaged foods. The deal gives Adani Wilmar access to a range of processed products and a retail presence in 150,000 stores across North India. MD Angshu Mallick emphasized their commitment to scaling Tops, positioning it alongside FMCG giants like Marico, ITC, and Tata Consumer. With this acquisition, Adani Wilmar aims to turn Tops into a household staple. India's IT Giants Face Growth Uncertainty Amid US Banking Slowdown India's IT heavyweights—TCS, Infosys, HCLTech, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra—are entering uncertain territory. US banks, their largest clients, are pausing tech investments due to inflation worries and trade tensions. JM Financial's Abhishek Kumar warns, “Uncertainty has crept in… Trade war seems imminent.” Banking contributes nearly a third of revenues for these IT firms, meaning any spending cuts could hit growth. Adding to concerns, Capgemini forecasts zero organic growth this year, signaling global headwinds. Kotak analysts expect FY26 to be marginally better than FY25 but still below pre-pandemic levels, with weak discretionary spending and AI-driven pricing pressures weighing on the sector. Nasscom predicts IT revenue will cross $300 billion next year, but analysts caution that achieving this won't be easy amid economic challenges.
In this episode, Emmeline and Kohinoor come together to discuss the importance of maintaining a high spirit and practicing self-love. They delve into what it means to nurture inner positivity, sharing personal stories and experiences that have shaped their understanding of resilience and self-worth. The conversation explores practical ways to embrace self-care, set boundaries, and find joy in small moments. By focusing on how to prioritize well-being, they demonstrate that self-love is both essential and achievable, even in the face of life's challenges. The significance of community and support from loved ones in maintaining a positive mindset shows how these connections inspire strength, help overcome setbacks, and make self-love a shared journey that lays the foundation for a balanced, empowered, and fulfilling life. This is their story. The podcast is presented by @Villanis_Marang
Overview In this episode we will continue looking at basic filters. Then we will start looking at the feature that makes jq very powerful, the ability to transform JSON from one form to another. In essence we can read and parse JSON and then construct an alternative form. More basic filters Array/String Slice: .[:] This filter allows parts of JSON arrays or strings to be extracted. The first number is the index of the elements of the array or string, starting from zero. The second number is an ending index, but it means "up to but not including". If the first index is omitted it refers to the start of the string or array. If the second index is blank it refers to the end of the string or array. This example shows using an array and extracting part of it: $ x="[$(seq -s, 1 10)]" $ echo "$x" [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] $ echo "$x" | jq -c '.[3:6]' [4,5,6] Here we use the seq command to generate the numbers 1-10 separated by commas in a JSON array. Feeding this to jq on its standard input with the slice request '.[3:6]' results in a sub-array from element 3 (containing value 4), up to but not including element 6 (containing 7). Note that using the '-c' option generates compact output, as we discussed in the last episode. For a string, the idea is similar, as in: $ echo '"Hacker Public Radio"' | jq '.[7:10]' "Pub" Notice that we provide the JSON string quotes inside single quotes following echo. The filter '.[7:10]' starts from element 7 (letter "P") up to but not including element 10 (letter "l"). Both of the numbers may be negative, meaning that they are offsets from the end of the array or string. So, using '.[-7:-4]' in the array example gives the same result as '.[3:6]', as do '.[3:-4]' and '.[-7:6]'. This example uses the x variable created earlier: $ for f in '.[-7:-4]' '.[3:6]' '.[3:-4]' '.[-7:6]'; do > echo "$x" | jq -c "$f" > done [4,5,6] [4,5,6] [4,5,6] [4,5,6] Similarly, using '.[-12:-9]' gives the same result as '.[7:10]' when used with the string. $ echo '"Hacker Public Radio"' | jq '.[-12:-9]' "Pub" As a point of interest, I wrote a little Bash loop to show the positive and negative offsets of the characters in the test string - just to help me visualise them. See the footnote1 for details. Finally, here is how to get the last character of the example string using positive and negative offsets: $ echo '"Hacker Public Radio"' | jq '.[18:]' "o" $ echo '"Hacker Public Radio"' | jq '.[-1:]' "o" Array/Object Value Iterator: .[] This filter generates values from iterating through an array or an object. It is similar to the .[index] syntax we have already seen, but it returns all of the array elements: $ arr='["Kohinoor","plastered","downloadable"]' $ echo "$arr" | jq '.[]' "Kohinoor" "plastered" "downloadable" The strings in the array are returned separately, not as an array. This is because this is an iterator, and its output can be linked to other filters. It can also be used to iterate over values in an object: $ obj='{"name": "Hacker Public Radio", "type": "Podcast"}' $ echo "$obj" | jq '.[]' "Hacker Public Radio" "Podcast" This iterator does not work on other data types, just arrays and objects. An alternative iterator .[]? exists which ignores errors: $ echo "true" | jq '.[]' jq: error (at :1): Cannot iterate over boolean (true) Ignoring errors: $ echo "true" | jq '.[]?' Using multiple filters There are two operators that can be placed between filters to combine their effects: the comma (',') and the pipe ('|'). Comma operator The comma (',') operator allows you to chain together multiple filters. As we already know, the jq program feeds the input it receives on standard input or from a file into whatever filter it is given. So far we have only seen a single filter being used. With the comma operator the input to jq is fed to all of the filters separated by commas in left to right order. The result is a concatenation of the output of all of these filters. For example, if we take the output from the HPR stats page which was mentioned in part 1 of this series of shows, and store it in a file called stats.json we can view two separate parts of the JSON like this: $ curl -s https://hub.hackerpublicradio.org/stats.json -O $ jq '.shows , .queue' stats.json { "total": 4756, "twat": 300, "hpr": 4456, "duration": 7640311, "human_duration": "0 Years, 2 months, 29 days, 10 hours, 18 minutes and 31 seconds" } { "number_future_hosts": 6, "number_future_shows": 18, "unprocessed_comments": 0, "submitted_shows": 0, "shows_in_workflow": 51, "reserve": 20 } This applies the filter .shows (an object identifier-index filter, see part 2) which returns the contents of the object with that name, then it applies filter .queue which returns the relevant JSON object. Pipe operator The pipe ('|') operator combines filters by feeding the output of the first (left-most) filter of a pair into the second (right-most) filter of a pair. This is analogous to the way the same symbol works in the Unix shell. For example, if we extract the 'shows' object from stats.json, we can then extract the value of the total' key' as follows: $ jq '.shows | .total' stats.json 4756 Interestingly, chaining two object identifier-index filters gives the same output: $ jq '.shows.total' stats.json 4756 (Note: to answer the question in the audio, the two filters shown can also be written as '.shows .total' with intervening spaces.) We will see the pipe operator being used in many instances in upcoming episodes. Parentheses It is possible to use parentheses in filter expressions in a similar way to using them in arithmetic, where they group parts together and can change the normal order of operations. They can be used in other contexts too. The example is a simple arithmetic one: $ jq '.shows.total + 2 / 2' stats.json 4757 $ jq '(.shows.total + 2) / 2' stats.json 2379 Examples Finding country data #1 Here we are using a file called countries.json obtained from the GitHub project listed below. This file is around 39,000 lines long so it is not being distributed with the show. However, it's quite interesting and you are encouraged to grab a copy and experiment with it. I will show ways in which the structure can be examined and reported with jq in a later show, but for now I will show an example of extracting data: $ jq '.[42] | .name.common , .capital.[]' countries.json "Switzerland" "Bern" The file contains an array of country objects; the one with index 42 is Switzerland. The name of the country is in an object called "name", with the common name in a keyed field called "common", thus the filter .name.common. In this country object is an object called "capital" holding an array containing the name (or names) of the capital city (or cities). The filter .capital.[] obtains and displays the contents of the array. Note that we used a comma operator between the filters. Finding country data #2 Another search of the countries.json file, this time looking at the languages spoken. There is an object called "languages" which contains abbreviated language names as keys and full names as the values: $ jq '.[42] | .name.common , .capital.[] , .languages' countries.json "Switzerland" "Bern" { "fra": "French", "gsw": "Swiss German", "ita": "Italian", "roh": "Romansh" } Using the filter .languages we get the whole object, however, using the iterator .[] we get just the values. $ jq '.[42] | .name.common , .capital.[] , .languages.[]' countries.json "Switzerland" "Bern" "French" "Swiss German" "Italian" "Romansh" This has some shortcomings, we need the construction capabilities of jq to generate more meaningful output.

Rudramadevi, a warrior queen from South India made an astonishing ascent to the throne, thanks to her royal lineage. Nevertheless she faced much patriarchy and her rule was challenged from all quarters - both from inside and outside. During her rule, the Kakatiya kingdom was attacked from the North, West and the South repeatedly. She managed to thwart all invasion attempts. She strengthened the defense forces by adding to the height and thickness of the Warrangal fort. The Kohinoor diamond was mined in her kingdom and adorned the crown of the reigning deity. Much later, it was plundered by Malik Kafur and carried away to Delhi. This episode is in the form of a game 'Serious of Joking' played by the host Sangeetha and the co-host (12-yr old Trayee). Through the course of this game, we unravel interesting facets of the queen's rule. References 1. Book - Women who ruled India by Archana Garodia Gupta 2.

Welcome to this week's True Fiction Project Podcast. During this episode we are highlighting guests from my homeland, India. First you will hear poetry titled Sea Link, My Place and The Kohinoor, Mughal Sequence, written and read by Anand Thakore about life and letting go. Next, you will hear an excerpt from the story Toddy Trails, written by yours truly, about the adventures of a baker who ran out of yeast and must find a replacement. Lastly, you will enjoy an excerpt from My Voice, written and read by Priya Subberwal, which tells of her learning about being adopted. All three are wonderful, don't forget to tune in to the original episodes linked in the show notes. IN THIS EPISODE:[1:21] Anand Thakore shares about his writing and work. [2:10] We hear the poems Sea Link, My Place and the Kohinoor written and read by Anand.[8:40] Avinash Martin discusses his restaurant Cavatina and how he decided to focus the food on Goan cuisine. [9:56] We hear an excerpt from the story Toddy Tails written by Reenita.[16:17] Priya Subberwal shares about her book My Voice and how she found out she was adopted. [17:05] We hear an excerpt from My Voice by Priya about her adoption. KEY TAKEAWAYS:Priya decided to write about her journey of finding out she was adopted as an adult as a way to find closure after her parents had passed away. Her story is fantastic for those who have been adopted or for people who are considering adoption.

The Rosetta Stone, the Kohinoor diamond, sculptures from Greece's Parthenon known as the Elgin Marbles are all dazzling objects that bear the history of early civilizations.But these objects were also taken by colonizers, and still remain on display in museum galleries far from their homes.Over the past several years museums around the world have been reckoning with the looted treasures they have kept and benefited from. Now one small museum in Nashville, Tennessee is returning ancient objects excavated in Mexico.

Diamonds are more than just pretty objects. Passed down over centuries, they can tell the story of their pasts. But that story isn't always a happy one. For many South Asians, the diamond that invokes this painful colonial history is the Kohinoor diamond. It's one of the largest diamonds in the world. And it was taken during British colonial rule in the 19th century from what is now modern-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Today, the diamond belongs to the British royal family. But the death of Queen Elizabeth last September revived calls for its return.We discuss how artifacts taken during colonial periods should be handled in modern times, and what empires owe the people they've colonized.Want to support 1A?

Although King Charles will have a low-key ceremony on his coronation day this May 6, the Crown Jewels will still figure prominently. An exploration of the story of the jewels tells a tale of brutal exploitation, rape and the original looting. Join us on Don't Call Me Resilient to follow the jewels. Much of what was called the British Empire was built from stolen riches - globally - and also from India.In fact, India was such an abundant contributor to the Crown that at the time of its occupation of South Asia, Britain called India the Jewel in its Crown. India was called this because of its location — easy access to the silk route, but mostly because of its vast human and natural resources: things like cotton, and tea and of course its abundance of jewels.Literally, the brightest jewel in Britain's Crown is the Koh-i-Noor diamond. It is considered one of the world's largest and most valued diamonds and it usually sits on top of the Crown of Queen Mary.It has a controversial history — namely that it was “surrendered” to the British by an Indian 10-year-old boy whose mother had been imprisoned and whose father had recently died. It's likely for that reason, that it won't be on display at the coronation. But plenty of other jewels will be part of the ceremony. There is the five-pound gold St. Edward's Crown that Charles will be officially crowned with, the Sovereign's Sceptre, which has the Great Star of Africa diamond in it and the Imperial State Crown, which is set with almost 3,000 diamonds - including another Star of Africa.Joining me to explore the history and meaning behind these jewels is Annie St. John-Stark, assistant professor of British history at Thompson Rivers University. Also here today is: Sharanjit Kaur Sandhra, sessional instructor of history at both the University of the Fraser Valley and the University of British Columbia. Her recently completed PhD reimagines museums as spaces of belonging. Both historians on today's episode believe change is possible with a redress: of how the histories of the Crown Jewels are told and also how wealth is redistributed. And actually, if recent polls are to be believed, although many will be out celebrating (any excuse for a party, right?) the pomp of the coronation along with its display of the Crown Jewels does not reflect the attitudes of modern Britain. The most recent poll available indicates only 32 per cent of Britons believe the Empire is something to be proud of — that is down almost 25 per cent from a 2014 poll. That means, attitudes are changing quickly. Will the Royal Family catch up?
In this episode, HE opens up the conversation with Kohinoor K. as she propels on a quest to live her life through a spiritual and self-love journey, living and loving every moment in life through her experiences and how she appreciates herself wholeheartedly to discover the beauty of self-love and gratitude. Behind her kind and loving soul, this is the story where she sees, accepts, and moves past her reflection to explore the freedom to be who she aspires to be and embrace her authentic self with gratification. Living her life takes on a spiritual journey that resembles an understanding of what it means to find herself again and heal from the challenges she endured. Most importantly, she recognized that life is here to serve a purpose. The purpose is to live.
The decision could prevent a diplomatic headache, but India has long maintained that the 105-carat diamond was stolen during colonialism.
In this episode of the Paul Zimnisky Diamond Analytics Podcast, well-respected London-based Gemologist Eric Emms joins the show. The conversation begins with Eric explaining why he does not think there will ever be a point in time when the industry cannot distinguish between man-made and natural diamonds. Next, Paul and Eric discuss how the gem-grading industry has evolved over the years. Then, the two theorize why the diamond industry has been so resilient for so long and Eric recounts memories of some of the famous diamonds that he has personally inspected, including the Cullinan Diamond and the Koh-i-Noor. Finally, Eric explains why Demantoid Garnet is his favorite colored gemstone and the two discuss the impact that U.S. sanctions are having on the supply of Russian diamonds.

Over the centuries, the fabled Koh-I-noor diamond has been a symbol of conquest and power. Now, it sits in the Tower of London. But how it got there is a story of blood and tragedy.

Of all the diamonds in the world, the Kohinoor is by far the most famous with truck loads of drama! According to folklore, a Hindu description warns that "He who owns this diamond will own the world, but, will also know all its misfortunes". Only God or a woman can wear it with impunity. Throughout history, the cursed diamond traded hands and caused the fall of many kingdoms. Brothers set against brothers; sons overthrowing their fathers; the history and lives of rulers who owned the Kohinoor diamond were filled with violence, murder, mutilation, torture and treachery. Whether or not people believe in the curse of the Kohinoor diamond, the history of the stone is undeniable. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/poorvi-daxini/message

The Kohinoor Diamond one of the largest diamonds in the world reportedly was mined in Kollur, the former Golconda sultanate of the Kakatiya dynasty, India. While many are now calling for its return to India from Britain, Melbourne-based Physicist and Gemmologist Mr Prem Phakey tells about its qualities, stories associated with it, and the history of its name and the series of owners before finally being acquired by the British.
My first experience of a Black History Month school assembly was very underwhelming. A white history teacher presented slides about slavery and the horrors endured by Africans who were kidnapped and brought to America. It was sad and depressing. I was left with less than 5mn to introduce a writing competition on the topic of Black Lives Matter. This unoriginal and biased educational missed opportunity has led me to get involved in promoting Black History each Month instead. We have to expand our vision of what makes an inclusive and universal education of quality. This can only happen by offering a decolonised curriculum and empowering our students to question the world they live in. From the Kohinoor gem to the Bristol Bus Boycott, Black history month is but a step in a cultural and educational revolution.

Welcome to episode 34 of the Everything 9000 Podcast where we discuss relevant hot topics across the news and UK culture. Over the last couple of weeks the Queen's passing has raised several topics of discussion - one we think needs exploring more is - how should people of colour and minorities living in the UK feel about the royals given the history of looting by the East India Trading Company? Many Asians and Africans have claimed particular diamonds that were taken from their original homelands should be returned (The Kohinoor, The Great Star of Africa / Cullinan I). Even within the majority population of the UK feelings have been mixed - many loved the recent Queen Elizabeth II dearly, many moved on much quicker. We also discuss the impact on football and hospital appointments.

Every once in a while, you read a book, watch a gripping movie or a TV show; and you ask yourself the question, “Was that a true story?”And then you spend hours googling the hell out of it. How great would it be if you could not find the answer and not be able to reach a conclusion!As every great storyteller knows, the better you tell a story the more you make it come to life. Conversely, even if you tell a real story poorly, it will not ring true.Let's meet a great storyteller now.My guest is author Sudipta Sen Gupta. She used to be a top level marketing executive turned academic, historian and author. Her debut novel is titled, Aasma-i-Noor. In Persian it loosely means A Sky of Light or even, a Universe of Light...depending on how expansive you're feeling today.Aasma-i-Noor is a diamond. It is a rare, red diamond that came from the Kollur mine in Golconda, the same mine that gave us the Koh-i-Noor (means Mountain Of Light) and Darya-i-Noor (meaning Sea Of Light). All great names…clearly all tributes to Total Internal Refraction.In Sudipta's novel, the history of this diamond is linked to the heart of the events surrounding the rise and fall of Siraj-ud-Daulah and his chief nemesis Robert Clive.And around this time is the last anyone heard of the Aasma-i-Noor, leaving the question: was this whole bloody pivotal point in the history of India caused by the fascination of a few men for a gemstone?Artfully, the story spills into the present day with a couple of treasure hunters in Kolkata finding clues from history to be able to locate this diamond. At this point, the novel suddenly takes on the rush of a Dan Brown thriller and I will leave the rest for you to read.As for separating history from historical fiction, I have rarely read this done in so deft a manner. It is every debut novelist's aspiration that their debut novel must set the world on fire. If Aasma-i-Noor doesn't do that, it is the fault of the world.That said, I am privileged to have Sudipta here as my guest today.ABOUT SUDIPTA SEN GUPTASudipta Sen Gupta is an associate professor in the School of Management at GD Goenka University. After completing her graduation in physics from Presidency College, Kolkata, and MBA from Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), Delhi University, she worked in senior corporate management roles for over 20 years. She helped build multiple well-known brands and powered multinational organizations to success, winning several national and global awards and recognitions along the way. In 2017, she decided to leave the corporate world and join academics, allowing her time to complete her PhD and return to her first love—Indian history.

Season 1, Episode 3 The Curse of the Kohinoor The ‘Curse of the Kohinoor' is this: Any man who wears the diamond will suffer a terrible fate. But is this true? Or was this simply a story that conveniently allowed the British Empire to justify the colonial appropriation of the diamond? Maharaja Ranjit Singh was the last Indian owner of the Kohinoor diamond. He was a fair and secular king of Punjab, the Land of Five Rivers, with Lahore as the capital. He was chosen as the greatest ruler of all time by the BBC World Histories Magazine in 2020. When he died in 1839, his 9-year-old son Duleep Singh took over the throne. The British East India Company was watching like a vulture, and conquered the Sikh Empire through treachery. Its representatives plundered the immense wealth of the kingdom and unravelled the socioeconomic fabric of the state in just 6 months. The Earl of Dalhousie, who was the governor general at the time, further wanted to destroy all symbols of Sikh power. And to this end, he separated the 9-year-old Duleep Singh from his mother, who was jailed for most of her life. And Dalhousie presented both Duleep and the Kohinoor as trophies to Queen Victoria. That's when news of the terrible curse of the Kohinoor began making the rounds even as the diamond made it onto British shores. Even today, only women in the British Royal family wear the diamond. But is there really a curse? And should the diamond be returned? This episode reveals the true history of the Kohinoor that is conveniently forgotten by the British.

A hilarious story that will have the kids rolling in laughter
Has the coronavirus pandemic disrupted your plan to take that long trip? Is the ongoing lockdown making you crave going off-road? Fret not. If you can’t go to the highway, Rocky, Mayur, Prashant, and Abhinandan — the team behind shows like Highway On My Plate, Vital Stats of India, Jai Hind, and Rocky and Mayur's Food Xpress — will bring the highway to you!So, here goes the newest offering from Newslaundry: Highway On My Podcast. The creators of the much loved TV travel show revisit their travels across India, sharing stories, anecdotes, trivia, and — for when the roads are open and inviting again — recommendations on food, culture, people, and much more. In this episode of Highway On My Podcast, Rocky, Mayur, Abhinandan and Prashant traverse the coastal state of Maharashtra. Doing justice to its highly varied food culture, the gang eats everything with equal enthusiasm, from Bhel to exotic bird preparations. The journey begins on a heartbreaking note in the breezy hill town of Mahabaleshwar, where the team’s dreams were shattered once they were welcomed by the caretaker of Hotel Regency. As it turned out, the hotel was so dirty that Rocky decided to sleep in the clothes he’d been wearing all day since he was sure they were much cleaner than the bedsheets. Shedding the memories of their horrific overnight stay, they hit the road to try out some roasted lentils, a speciality of Mahabaleshwar. They also try delicious jams after feasting on Chana . Driving to the plains, the gang discusses, while in transit, whether monsoons are a good time to visit Mahabaleshwar. Mayur doesn’t think so but Abhinandan strongly recommends it, only for the beautiful waterfalls. In Pune, they head to Kayani Bakery, a landmark in the city, that’s known for its scrumptious Shrewsbury biscuits. Prashant says the visit to Kayani is one of his more delightful experiences from their travels. They also talk about Pune’s authentic Maharashtrian food, their visit to Dorabji’s, and a place with an interesting menu. Heading to Nagpur, the team visits Saoji restaurant, which Abhinandan thinks should have a national presence. Rocky advises listeners to beware of the kind of spice that goes into the food, saying Saoji’s chefs typically add half a kg of chillies for a preparation with one kg of meat. Moving from spicy black meat to delicious orange-based sweets, Rocky highly recommends the orange Soan Papdi and the orange Barfi when in Nagpur. Falling short of time, the gang rushes out of Nagpur for Mumbai, discussing their memorable encounter with Mr Kohinoor, the owner of much-renowned Britannia & Co., an old Irani Cafe that is a part of city folklore. Listeners are also introduced to Mr Tony of Tony Da Dhaba, and how his salesmanship talked them into some exoic food. They feast on delicious seafood at Gajalee while Mayur tries Khichdi at Soam. The team also discusses the history behind Colaba’s iconic Cafe Mondegar and Cafe Leopold.Speeding off to Kolhapur, the gang shops for chappals and then samples Rajabhau’s Bhel, a local favourite and an example of how India’s street food never ceases to surprise. Prashant talks about Maharashtra’s good and bad vineyards and how locals developed a taste for wine. The group also talks about trying Mastani in Pune, the variety of Paan in Nagpur, and Mario Miranda’s art at Mondegar.All this and more, only on Highway On My Podcast.

Hrishi K with Divine - Kohinoor by Hrishikesh Kannan
On this week's show, the true story of the most famous diamond in the world: the Koh-i-Noor. The tale of this legendary stone has all the trappings of a cracking good adventure novel, complete with emperors and wars, greed, secrets and even a curse. Plus, we take a journey down the mighty River Nile, a life line for many countries in eastern Africa.
The India/Pakistan relationship has rarely been an easy one, with the two disagreeing on everything from territory, cricket, and who is the rightful owner of the Kohinoor diamond. At times it spills into open conflict which can easily escalate, but who benefits from such a tense relationship, and should the world be concerned? Guest: Professor Ian Hall (International Relations and Deputy Director (Research) of Griffith Asia Institute) Recorded 19 March, 2019.
On Awful and Awesome this week, Abhinandan and Rajyasree are joined by our very own Deepanjana Pal (DJ). This time, she's back as a guest to talk about her first novel Hush a Bye Baby, a thriller about a gynaecologist, Dr Nandita Rai, who is accused of conducting sex-selective abortions.Sekhri and Sen question DJ about her choice of genre. In response to which, Pal says, “So, at a very basic level, I think it's fair to say that Hush a Bye Baby is kind of in the middle of many genres. It is a thriller, I hope. But it is also a social drama like you're describing. It does have a lot to do with the society in which all of this is taking place. It isn't a conventional murder mystery which is what most thrillers tend to be. There are no dead bodies in this. In many ways, it's a little bit of a cross-genre kind of a thing.”After having discussed the novel extensively, and DJ's view on abortions and a woman's autonomy over her own body, Sekhri and Sen move on to discuss the bizarre, shocking, and extremely disappointing comments made by Bollywood celebrities on rapes in India.The greatest superstar of the country, Amitabh Bachchan, also the brand ambassador of ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao', when asked to comment on the Kathua rape case, said: “‘Don't bring up this issue, it is terrible to even talk about it.”While it is a disgusting incident, that doesn't mean you don't comment on it. As Sekhri commented: “He is a superstar and we respect him but he is like every other uncle.”Next in line is Saroj Khan, who had something to say about the existence of the casting couch in the industry: “Tum film industry ke peeche kyu pade ho. Woh kamse kam roti toh dedeti hai. Rape karke chorh toh nai deti”. To Sen, the justification that she is making is hardly some salvation.While Bachchan's and Saroj Khan's old age can be held up as an excuse for making such statements, what reason does Ranbir Kapoor have? Speaking about the casting couch, the Rockstar actor said: "I don't know if it exists. I have never been expected to do it” and then laughed!Sen had a very obvious remark to make to that, “For everyone who comes from a level of privilege in their sphere of life, to say I've never seen this deprivation is ridiculous.”Moving on, the duo discusses the teaser of Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Sanju, produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and directed by Rajkumar Hirani. Both are highly impressed by the actor's uncanny resemblance to Sanjay Dutt, but the teaser fails to make a mark on them.According to Sen, “I didn't think much of the teaser. I thought it was a bit farcical. Like they had just slapped it together. And for some reason, I got the feeling that it was making a hero out of Sanjay Dutt's stupidities. Because I do think he's a silly man. He came from the lap of privilege and went wayward. That has been made into a virtue.”Sekhri, however, is less harsh in his opinion on the teaser, “What they've attempted is very clever. His life is more tragic than comic. But rather than make the trailer tragic, they attempted to make it almost farcical. I don't think it works. But it was a clever thing to have tried.”Next, the new Durex Kohinoor Meetha Pan condom ad is reviewed. For Sekhri, the ad is "wrong in all sorts of ways". He also adds, “Ever since Pooja Bedi's Kamasutra ad, nobody has come up with a classy condom ad. All condom ads have been sleazy.”Talking of advertisements, the next topic of discussion is a print ad commissioned by the ministry of health, to promote healthy eating and being slim. But of course, it's only directed at women. No surprises there.Sekhri brings out the fallacies that this ad, which shows two women of different sizes, displays.Lastly, Sen talks about an Amazon original that she watched, written and acted in by Sumukhi Suresh, called ‘Pushpavalli'.

Both are highly impressed by the actor’s uncanny resemblance to Sanjay Dutt, but the teaser fails to make a mark on them.According to Sen, “I didn’t think much of the teaser. I thought it was a bit farcical. Like they had just slapped it together. And for some reason, I got the feeling that it was making a hero out of Sanjay Dutt’s stupidities. Because I do think he’s a silly man. He came from the lap of privilege and went wayward. That has been made into a virtue.”Sekhri, however, is less harsh in his opinion on the teaser, “What they’ve attempted is very clever. His life is more tragic than comic. But rather than make the trailer tragic, they attempted to make it almost farcical. I don’t think it works. But it was a clever thing to have tried.”Next, the new Durex Kohinoor Meetha Pan condom ad is reviewed. For Sekhri, the ad is "wrong in all sorts of ways". He also adds, “Ever since Pooja Bedi’s Kamasutra ad, nobody has come up with a classy condom ad. All condom ads have been sleazy.”Talking of advertisements, the next topic of discussion is a print ad commissioned by the ministry of health, to promote healthy eating and being slim. But of course, it’s only directed at women. No surprises there.Sekhri brings out the fallacies that this ad, which shows two women of different sizes, displays. Lastly, Sen talks about an Amazon original that she watched, written and acted in by Sumukhi Suresh, called ‘Pushpavalli’. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
