As the vibrant celebrations of Chhath Puja light up Bihar on Thursday, actor and producer Rajesh Kumar, from Gaya, shares his heartfelt reflections on the festival and its profound personal significance. Growing up in the cultural epicentre of Bihar, Rajesh recalls his mother's unwavering dedication to Chhath, a tradition she honoured for an impressive 54 years. “Whenever my mom performed Chhath Puja, it was for almost her whole life,” he reminisces. “When she faced an illness similar to Alzheimer’s, I decided I would continue it. But with my busy shooting schedules, I only managed to observe it for three years. It’s been 23 years since I last participated in the rituals,” he says. For Rajesh, Chhath represents a powerful reminder of simplicity and purity. He remarks, “Sometimes, doing nothing becomes special. There’s something unique about Chhath—a quiet reverence where everything becomes clean and pure. This festival, to me, is about joy and gratitude for nature’s gifts.” Rajesh also believes that similar purity can be achieved during Navratri without the need for fasting. “Everything else is the same—Chhath’s silence is its own kind of prayer,” he adds. A distinctive feature of Chhath, according to Rajesh, is its absence of idols. “Chhath pays homage to the elements: air, water, fire, and the sun. It’s a tribute to the sun as the foundation of life,” he explains. “Offering arghya to the rising and setting sun holds tremendous meaning. It’s not about grandeur; it’s about connection.”On the professional front, Rajesh Kumar's latest project, Binny and Family has been a hit, and has received acclaim from both audiences and critics. Yet, as he reflects on Chhath, it’s evident that his heart remains anchored in the traditions that have profoundly shaped him.
07 November,2024 04:48 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentIf you haven’t spent your teen years headbanging to ‘Summer Of 69’, are you even a fan of Bryan Adams’ music? Well, there’s also ‘Everything I Do’ and ‘Please Forgive Me’ that you have crooned to. That is what makes the Canadian rocker such a timeless musician in India for all the 90s kids who grew up listening to him through their dial-up song channel on local cable or at parties that ended in a couple dance. It is definitely one of the many reasons why he has been visiting the country over the last 30 years. He will be visiting India for the sixth time this December for his 'So Happy It Hurts' world tour. While this is going to be a five-city tour, the first visit still feels like yesterday for the Canadian singer-songwriter. In fact, Adams, who is known for many other hits like ‘Heaven’ and ‘Run To You’, shares, “My favourite memory of India is the first concert. We played in Mumbai in 1993. It was an absolutely packed cricket ground, and they had divided the ground in half with wooden posts, so on one side you had the audience, many of whom were in the traditional costumes, and on the other side of the wooden fence was the cricket club... drinking tea.” It is reminiscent of the city’s love for music while co-existing with cricket and its many other forms of entertainment. The city faces close competition from another major performance venue. “One of my favourite cities to play in the world is Madison Square Garden NYC,” he adds. So, what keeps him coming back? It is no wonder that Adams says he really enjoys the audiences, but his visits are also sprinkled with travel because he loves seeing new parts of the country because of how enormous India is. The Canadian took to music very early in his life and has produced many hits for five decades ever since he started out as a 15-year-old with Canadian glam rock band Sweeney Todd. Interestingly, listeners have got to see so many different sides of him with a mix of his smooth and raspy vocals. So, how has he seen his music evolve over time? He shares, "I like to keep things simple, and I usually just record in the same way. In some ways, I think you evolve as a songwriter with the more experiences you have, the larger library of memories to tap from." However, he believes that most of them have been hits only because of touring. "I’ve been quite consistent over the years to return to countries that I’ve performed in. As far as the songs go, I’m just glad we put the time in to making the recordings and the songs as good as they could be; that’s probably why they lasted," he adds. As the years pass, many fans often try to decipher the meanings of songs, especially if the songwriter and musician haven't spoken about it. It has not been any different with Adams, as there have been many theories floated about the origins of the song 'Summer of 69'. Putting the theories aside, the real summer of 69 had a lot happening, but more than that, it also led to the birth of Bryan Adams, the musician. He reminisces, "I was into music very, very early on. My father had bought me a flamenco guitar when I was around nine years old, and I was already a big Beatles fan as many of my friends had records from them, and we would often sit and listen to them together." With that being said, Adams has always thought that songs are meant to be interpreted by whoever hears them. "That, I believe, is the beauty of songs/music," he adds. With India on the cards yet again, does he feel the urge to experiment with world musical sounds? He reveals, "It’s so funny that you mentioned whether I’m going to experiment with Indian music, because last week I bought an electric sitar." Will he feature it? We'll have to just wait and see as he juggles tour dates and finds time to immerse in the culture. "We don’t have a lot of time off between our shows, but undoubtedly, we will be enjoying some fine Indian cuisine," he adds. With over 15 studio albums, ask him if fans can expect something new, and the answer is positive. He concludes, "Yes, I’m working on a new album, and it comes out in 2025. It’s called 'Roll With The Punches'. Aside from that, just before Christmas, I will be releasing a box set of three albums recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall."

07 November,2024 01:00 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAs private consumption surges in smaller cities and towns in India which is driven by high pent-up demand and premiumisation wave, the e-commerce platforms registered more than Rs 1 lakh crore in gross merchandise value (GMV) in the month-long festive season. According to industry data, this is more than 20 per cent growth from last year’s festive sales on major e-commerce platforms in the country. The first week of festive sales (which began on September 26) alone saw business worth Rs 55,000 crore, which is almost half of the total sales. This festive season’s increase in sales was estimated at over 23 per cent by e-commerce consultancy Datum Intelligence. Mobiles, electronics and fashion categories gained momentum while other categories (beauty and personal care, home and quick-commerce-led grocery) had a better business as usual (BAU) performance. Quick commerce, which saw significant traction in 2023, contributed approximately 8 per cent to overall e-commerce growth, up from 5 per cent last year. Smartphones emerged as the top-selling category, with online sales accounting for almost 65 per cent of all smartphone purchases during the festive season. The demand for premium brands surged. Tier 2 and beyond cities contributed to more than 70 per cent of the premium smartphone sales for Amazon. More than 85 per cent customers came from non-metro cities and over 50 per cent of TV purchases came from tier 2 and 3 cities. Demand for large appliances from tier 2 cities grew by 25 per cent, with customers preferring air conditioners and refrigerators, according to Amazon India. As brands looked to capitalise on the festive demand, several of them strategically leveraged e-commerce platforms to cater to the aspirational customers’ needs and reached the relatively less accessible customers in tier 2 cities and beyond. Newer categories such as home and kitchen appliances saw traction on quick commerce platforms, helping the platforms boost their average order values and profitability.

05 November,2024 02:34 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSThe upcoming wedding season in India which will extend from November 12 till December 16 is likely to generate business worth nearly Rs 6 lakh crore from 48 lakh weddings which constitutes a 41 per cent increase over the corresponding figure of Rs 4.25 lakh crore recorded for 35 lakh weddings last year, according to a study carried out by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT). From 11 auspicious dates the previous year, this year's season would have 18 dates which is expected to fuel the business growth, with Delhi alone expected to see Rs 1.5 lakh crore business across 4.5 lakh weddings this year, estimates compiled by CAIT show. CAIT estimates 10 lakh weddings involving spending of Rs 3 lakh per wedding, 10 lakh weddings with Rs 6 lakh per wedding, 10 lakh weddings with Rs 10 lakh per wedding, 10 lakh weddings with Rs 15 lakh per wedding, 7 lakh weddings with Rs 25 lakh per wedding, 50,000 weddings with Rs 50 lakh per wedding, and 50,000 weddings with Rs 1 crore or more per wedding. CAIT's Veda and Spiritual Committee convenor Acharya Durgesh Tare said the auspicious wedding dates for this season are November 12, 13, 17, 18, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, and 29 and December 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, and 16. Following this period, there will be a pause of about a month before the season resumes from mid-January to March 2025. "The study has also highlighted a shift in consumer purchasing behaviour, with people increasingly opting for Indian products over foreign goods, reflecting the success of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Vocal for Local' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (Self-Reliant India) vision," said CAIT’s Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal. Khandelwal said wedding expenses are divided between goods and services, with main expenditure areas in goods including jewellery (15 per cent), clothing (10 per cent), electronics and appliances (5 per cent), dry fruits, sweets, and snacks (5 per cent), groceries and vegetables (5 per cent), gift items (4 per cent), and other goods (6 per cent). In the services sector, expenditures will likely go toward banquet halls, hotels, and venues (5 per cent), catering services (10 per cent), event management, tent decoration floral decorations, transportation and cab services (3 per cent), photography and videography (2 per cent), other services such as music and lighting.

05 November,2024 02:08 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSSpecial puja was being held at the Shree Dharmasastha Temple at Thulaseendrapuram in Tiruvayur district, Tamil Nadu, the ancestral village of US Vice President Kamala Harris, for her victory in the Presidential polls. The Sree Dharmasastha Temple in Thulaseendrapuram is the ancestral temple of Kamala Harris' mother, Shyamala Gopalan. Kamala's grandfather, P. C. Gopalan, played a key role in renovating the family's ancestral temple, and the family regularly visits to attend pujas dedicated to their family deity. A temple board shows that Kamala offered Rs 5,000 as a donation to the temple, a gesture carried out by her aunt, Sarala Gopalan, on her behalf. Kumaresan, a villager in Thulaseendrapuram told IANS, "The whole village is praying for Kamala, who has roots here. Several poojas have been conducted for her across many temples, including her ancestral Sree Dharmasastha Temple." He added, "She is a woman fighting for a position that can influence global affairs, and we are proud to be part of her legacy. We are praying earnestly for her victory." The village is hopeful for Kamala's success, and if she wins, they plan to celebrate with 'annadanam' (free food distribution). DMK councillor Arulmozhi and her spouse T. Suthakar have conducted a special 'abisheka' (coronation) with sandalwood, turmeric, and other sacred items, along with puja to the presiding deity at the Dharmasastha Temple, the family deity of Kamala's ancestors. Suthakar told IANS, "We are praying for the victory of our daughter of the soil. Let her become the president of the most powerful country in the world." A Madurai-based spiritual organisation, Anushanathin Anugraham, was also organising special pujas for Kamala Harris' victory. Priests are chanting Vedic mantras to Kanchi Mahaperiyava, Lord Krishna, Lord Murugan, Valli, Deivanai, Lord Rama, and Goddess Kamatchi Amman, performing dhyanam for Kamala’s success. Posters in Tamil have appeared across the village, praying for Kamala's victory.
