Released on YouTube less than a week ago, the video has already reached around 10,000 views, earning glowing appreciation from viewers for its heartfelt message and evocative presentation.</p>
<p>Based in Navi Mumbai, Capt. Mishra currently serves as the CEO of ASHMA Maritime Services Pvt. Ltd. His journey from the structured world of the Merchant Navy to the creative space of music is both rare and inspiring. ‘DOST – Zindagi Doston Ke Naam’ stands out for its melodious singing, touching lyrics and simple yet soul-stirring picturisation.

<p>As Friendship Day approaches on August 3, the timing of this release has struck a chord with viewers, beautifully capturing the essence of lifelong bonds and genuine companionship.</p>
<p>Capt. Mishra’s musical path reflects dedication and passion. He was a finalist in the Grand Finale of Artium Superstar Season 1, where he performed in front of iconic judges including Padma Shri Sonu Nigam, Padma Shri Aruna Sairam, Raju Singh, Ananth Vaidyanathan, P. Unnikrishnan and Louis Banks. His pursuit of musical excellence continues as he trains in Hindustani classical music under Shri Anik Thakurta at Artium Academy and learns Tabla from Pt. Pratik Joshi. Capt. Mishra has also completed a course in Ghazal writing from Rekhta Learning.</p>
<p>Beginning his career in the Merchant Navy in 1989 as a Trainee Nautical Officer, he sailed in various capacities and rose to the rank of Captain.

<p>Generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have advanced to the point where they can compose original melodies, harmonies, and even complete songs with remarkable proficiency. These systems, trained on vast datasets of existing musical works, allow users to create music, vocals, and instrumental arrangements without needing traditional musical training. As a result, AI is increasingly integrated into music production workflows, from helping independent artists master tracks automatically to generating background music for films, advertisements, and video games.</p>
<p>While AI-powered music tools offer exciting possibilities such as accelerating production, enabling new creative experimentation, and making professional-quality music more accessible, they are also causing unease among musicians about their livelihoods. Many artists worry that AI could replace jobs traditionally held by composers, session musicians, sound engineers and arrangers in areas such as background scores, jingles and film or commercial music where automation may reduce human involvement.</p>
<p>Researchers note that although AI does not fully replace the emotional depth and personal connection that human musicians bring to music, it may change the economic landscape significantly. Some side jobs for musicians such as transcribing music into sheet music or creating arrangement parts are increasingly susceptible to automation. Furthermore, as the demand for bespoke, emotionally resonant live performances remains strong, AI is not expected to replace live concerts and the human experience of music in the foreseeable future.</p>
<p>At the same time, proponents of AI in music emphasise its role as a creative aid rather than a substitute for human artistry. AI tools help musicians overcome creative blocks, explore new sounds and styles and focus more on the artistic side of music-making by automating technical tasks like mixing and mastering. New platforms powered by AI help artists reach audiences through social media microcultures instead of the traditional record company route.</p>
<p>However, critics warn that an overreliance on AI-generated music could lead to a homogenisation of sound making much of the music industry feel formulaic and less authentic. The emotional and cultural essence that comes from human experience still forms the core of meaningful music for many listeners.</p>
<p>The music industry now faces the challenge of integrating AI technology while preserving artists’ livelihoods and creativity. Legal and ethical issues around copyright ownership and the originality of AI-generated content remain unresolved. Despite these concerns, industry experts suggest that AI can democratise music production offering new opportunities for musicians willing to adapt and innovate with this technology.</p>

The rally came as the firm’s Q1 results reflected resilient profitability and optimistic management commentary, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment.</p>
<p>For the June quarter, Tata Technologies reported a consolidated net profit of ₹170.3 crore, marking a 5 per cent rise compared to ₹162 crore in the same period last year. However, on a sequential basis, net profit declined by nearly 10 per cent from ₹189 crore reported in the previous quarter. Revenue from operations in Q1 FY26 stood at ₹1,244.3 crore, representing a 2 per cent decrease year-on-year and a 3 per cent drop sequentially.</p>
<p>Despite the muted top-line growth, investor sentiment turned positive as the company’s management indicated a stronger outlook for the coming quarters. The CEO and Managing Director, Warren Harris, stated that client confidence grew steadily throughout the quarter and the deal pipeline was more robust than a year ago. The company secured six significant deals in Q1, with most being in the automotive and aerospace sectors.</p>
<p>The positive momentum was reflected in the firm’s share price, which climbed to an intraday high of ₹742 on the BSE, registering a gain of more than 4 per cent over the previous close. By late morning, shares were trading above ₹730 with steady volumes, outpacing the broader market’s performance.</p>
<p>Market experts attributed the share price gains to reassurances from top management regarding an anticipated sequential recovery in Q2 and a stronger second half of the financial year. The company’s EBITDA margin for the quarter stood at 16.1 per cent, and management reiterated their commitment to delivering sustainable value to stakeholders while driving efficiency and investing in strategic capabilities, particularly in digital and embedded systems.</p>
<p>Tata Technologies’ current share price remains well below its all-time high of ₹1,400, reached during its listing in November 2023. Nevertheless, the latest uptick signals a shift in near-term sentiment among investors, who are now looking for signs of consistent revival in revenue growth and business wins as the year progresses.</p>
<p>Analysts have noted that although revenue declines on both an annual and sequential basis warrant caution, the upbeat management guidance and robust deal pipeline have prompted some to review their short-term outlook for the stock.</p>

In his annual message to shareholders, Jagdishan revealed that deposits grew at a pace 2.5 times faster than loans, marking a decisive shift in the bank’s funding strategy after its merger with parent company HDFC Ltd.</p>
<p>According to Jagdishan, this surge in deposits enabled the bank to reduce its credit-to-deposit ratio to 96 per cent by March 31, 2025, down from about 110 per cent at the time of the merger. The reduction reflects a deliberate effort by HDFC Bank to balance its funding sources and lessen dependency on high-cost borrowings, which now constitute 14 per cent of the overall funding compared to previous highs.</p>
<p>The bank captured 14.6 per cent of all new deposits mobilised in the Indian banking system during the last financial year, significantly outpacing its broader peer group. While HDFC Bank accounts for roughly 5 per cent of the nation’s bank branches, it now commands 11 per cent of the country’s total banking deposits.</p>
<p>Loan growth, on the other hand, was intentionally moderated to fortify the balance sheet following the merger. Advances rose by 5.4 per cent in FY25, whereas deposits jumped by 14.1 per cent over the same period. This cautious approach, according to Jagdishan, was chosen to strengthen fundamentals before focusing anew on an accelerated loan growth trajectory. The bank is now positioning itself to grow its loan book in line with industry averages in FY26, with ambitions to surpass system-wide growth in FY27.</p>
<p>Jagdishan stressed that the bank’s strategy has not relied on offering higher rates to attract deposits or loans. Instead, its focus has been on strategic execution and building sustainable financial strength. Maintaining high asset quality, even through volatile business cycles, continues to be a pillar of the bank’s approach.</p>
<p>The CEO described this phase as one of the most transformative for HDFC Bank, as the merger with HDFC Ltd has expanded cross-selling opportunities and deepened the group’s footprint across financial services, including life and general insurance, mutual funds, and brokerage.</p>
<p>The momentum in deposit mobilisation and prudent loan growth sets the stage for HDFC Bank to capitalise on emerging opportunities while maintaining its reputation for stability and low levels of bad loans.</p>

In a recent interview, Amaal detailed how professional rivalry and jealousy within the family led to what he described as a pattern of betrayal and career setbacks for his father.</p>
<p>Amaal Mallik, son of Daboo Malik, described the relationship between his father and Anu Malik as emotionally intense but professionally fraught. While the brothers appeared inseparable in public, Amaal claimed that Anu Malik was “overly competitive” and driven by a need to be recognised as the best composer in the family. According to Amaal, this ambition led Anu Malik to actively undermine Daboo’s opportunities in the Hindi film industry.</p>
<p>He alleged that Anu Malik would approach film producers who had already signed Daboo Malik for projects and offer to compose music for a lower fee or even for free, thereby taking away his brother’s work. Amaal cited the example of the film ‘Murder’, where he claimed Daboo was about to be signed on as the music director before Anu Malik intervened and secured the project for himself. Amaal stated, “Every time my dad got a movie, he would go and snatch his work from the producers by offering to work for little money or even free.”</p>
<p>The accusations did not stop with Anu Malik. Amaal also claimed that other industry figures, notably the composer duo Sajid-Wajid, played a role in marginalising Daboo Malik’s career. He described his father as “too naïve” to retaliate against these manoeuvres and said that repeated betrayals by both family and friends in the industry left Daboo Malik professionally isolated.</p>
<p>Amaal explained that witnessing these events as a child left a lasting impact on him. He said his father’s struggles and the lack of recognition for his work motivated him to carve out his own path in music, determined to prove himself and bring honour to his father’s name. He recounted how Daboo Malik, despite composing for at least seventy films, was often overshadowed and referred to simply as “Anu Malik’s brother”, which Amaal found deeply unfair.</p>
<p>The revelations come amid broader discussions about family dynamics and professional rivalries within Bollywood’s music industry. Neither Anu Malik nor Sajid-Wajid have responded publicly to the allegations at the time of writing.</p>

Despite widespread rumours suggesting that the Telugu star who’s film Liger had flopped in Bollywood earlier, would make his return by taking on a negative role in the highly anticipated action thriller, reliable sources confirm that Deverakonda has declined the offer.</p>
<p>‘Don 3’, directed by Farhan Akhtar, is set to feature Ranveer Singh as the new Don, with Kriti Sanon stepping in as the female lead. The film, which is currently in pre-production, is expected to begin shooting in January 2026, with international locations such as London being considered for its high-octane sequences.</p>
<p>Reports indicate that Deverakonda was indeed approached by the makers to play the primary antagonist, a role previously linked to Vikrant Massey. The idea of Deverakonda facing off against Singh in the stylish world of ‘Don’ generated significant excitement among fans. However, the actor, who is currently focused on his Telugu film commitments, has chosen to be selective with his Bollywood projects. He cited timing and the nature of the role as reasons for declining the opportunity, preferring to concentrate on his upcoming Telugu releases.</p>
<p>With Deverakonda officially out of the running, the search for the film’s villain continues. The casting process is still underway, and the production team is expected to announce the final line-up in the coming months. Meanwhile, anticipation for ‘Don 3’ remains high, especially with the possibility of cameo appearances by Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra, both of whom have previously starred in the franchise.</p>
<p>‘Don 3’ aims for a December 2026 release and is poised to be a major addition to one of Bollywood’s most iconic film series. As the cast finalises and production gears up, all eyes remain on who will ultimately play the formidable adversary to Ranveer Singh’s Don.</p>

<p>Many fans and social media users criticized the move, calling it a marketing or publicity stunt for his upcoming film. Some pointed out that this kind of street food activity by Bollywood stars has become “compulsory” ahead of movie releases.

<p>Others praised his promotional creativity, noting that Aamir Khan is known for unconventional film promotions. Some fans were amused and thrilled to see him interact so directly with the public, with comments like “Nobody can beat his promotional strategy”.</p>
<p>Aamir Khan is widely recognized for his unique and often unconventional promotional campaigns. This vada pav event is part of the ongoing promotions for Sitaare Zameen Par, which is described as a sports comedy-drama and a spiritual successor to his acclaimed film Taare Zameen Par. The film features a cast that includes actors with Down syndrome and focuses on inclusivity and empathy.</p>

<p>The honour, equivalent to India’s Bharat Ratna, is the highest recognition conferred by the President of Fiji and stands as a testament to Sumeet’s lifelong commitment to serving the nation he proudly represents across the world.</p>
<p>At a grand investiture ceremony held at the State House in Suva, the President of Fiji, His Excellency Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, presented this prestigious award to three individuals — Sumeet Tappoo, Dr Krupali Tappoo, and Sri Madhusudan Sai — describing them as “beacons of compassion and cultural pride for the people of Fiji”.</p>
<p>While Sumeet Tappoo is globally recognised as a renowned Bollywood singer and international performing artist, his impact goes far beyond the stage. He serves as the Chairman of the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children’s Hospital — the South Pacific’s first and only paediatric cardiac super-speciality hospital offering 100% free heart surgeries to children across Fiji and the Pacific Islands.</p>

<p>In his heartfelt message of gratitude, Sumeet said, “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would receive our beloved Fiji’s highest honour. I am deeply humbled and profoundly grateful to accept this recognition from His Excellency, the President of Fiji. I have always believed that to whom much is given, much is expected, and I will strive harder to keep making a difference to humanity.”</p>
<p>Describing the impact of the hospital, Sumeet called it “a divine miracle and an enduring monument of love”, noting how what once seemed an impossible dream is now a fully operational, world-class institution changing countless young lives. “This is the power of love. This is the power of goodness. This is the power of humanity,” he said.</p>
<p>Joining Sumeet in receiving the same esteemed honour was Dr Krupali Tappoo, Director of the hospital, who has played a critical role in the operational excellence and expansion of paediatric cardiac care in the region.</p>

<p>Completing the trio of awardees was global humanitarian and spiritual leader Sri Madhusudan Sai — the founder of the ‘One World, One Family Global Humanitarian Mission’ and the founder of the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children’s Hospital in Fiji — awarded for his visionary leadership in establishing the hospital and for his wider global contributions to free healthcare, nutrition, and education.</p>
<p>Sri Madhusudan Sai’s recognition places him among an elite list of Indian dignitaries to receive Fiji’s top honour — following only Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and President Smt Droupadi Murmu.</p>
<p>Since its inception, the hospital has performed 378 life-saving heart surgeries, more than 30,000 paediatric echocardiograms, and over 40,000 free general and specialist outpatient medical consultations — all completely free of charge.</p>
<p>President Lalabalavu praised the trio’s unwavering dedication and emphasised the hospital’s role as one of the country’s most successful public-private healthcare partnerships.</p>
<p>Their collective recognition marks a defining moment not only in the lives of the recipients but also for the people of Fiji. It symbolises what can be achieved when service, compassion, and vision come together for the greater good.</p>
<p>For Sumeet Tappoo, the honour is more than an award — it is a renewed call to service. His journey, rooted in love for his homeland, continues to uplift countless lives — through the healing power of music and the transformative power of humanitarian action.</p>

The collaboration, formalised through a memorandum of understanding, will focus on the production and supply of explosives and propellants for medium and large-calibre ammunition.</p>
<p>Reliance Defence will establish a greenfield manufacturing facility in the Watad Industrial Area of Ratnagiri, Maharashtra. This facility, to be known as the Dhirubhai Ambani Defence City (DADC), is set to become one of the largest of its kind in South Asia, with an annual capacity to produce up to 200,000 artillery shells, 10,000 tonnes of explosives, and 2,000 tonnes of propellants. The project is positioned as a significant step in Reliance Defence’s ambition to be among the top three defence exporters in India.</p>
<p>The partnership also includes plans for joint marketing activities and the possibility of further cooperation in the future. The new facility is expected to play a vital role in meeting the requirements of the Indian armed forces and supporting the government’s ‘Make in India’ and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives. It will also contribute to India’s goal of achieving ₹50,000 crore in defence exports by 2029.</p>
<p>Rheinmetall AG’s CEO, Armin Papperger, highlighted the long-term strategic value of the partnership and reiterated the company’s commitment to collaborating with India. Anil Ambani described the alliance as a transformational moment for India’s private defence manufacturing sector, emphasising the project’s role in strengthening India’s position in the global defence supply chain.</p>
<p>This collaboration marks Reliance Defence’s third major international partnership, following previous alliances with France’s Dassault Aviation and Thales Group. The new manufacturing complex is set to become the largest greenfield defence sector project developed by a private Indian company, reinforcing India’s growing stature in the global defence industry.</p>

This measure applies to all passenger windows, except those at emergency exits, and is specifically targeted at operations from defence airports, particularly those near India’s western border.</p>
<p>The DGCA’s order comes in the wake of recent security incidents, including the Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent Operation Sindoor. Following these events, several airports in northern, central, and western India, including sensitive defence airbases with civil enclaves such as Srinagar, Jammu, Leh, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Gwalior, and Hindon, were temporarily closed. As operations resume, the DGCA has introduced these new protocols to enhance operational safety and prevent the unintentional sharing of sensitive security-related information by passengers or crew.</p>
<p>Under the new guidelines, window shades must remain closed during the take-off and landing phases at defence airfields. Specifically, shades should stay shut until the aircraft is airborne and has crossed an altitude of 10,000 feet during departure, and during arrival, from when the aircraft descends below 10,000 feet until it reaches the parking bay at the civil terminal. The only exception is for emergency exit windows, where shades may remain open.</p>
<p>The DGCA has emphasised strict compliance with this directive, warning that violations will attract legal action. The move is intended to prevent the possibility of sensitive military information being inadvertently photographed or observed during critical flight phases.</p>
<p>This directive aligns with similar security measures implemented in other countries where dual-use military and civil airports are present. The focus remains on safeguarding national security interests while maintaining the safety and efficiency of civil aviation operations at defence airfields.</p>
