New Hindi Movie ‘Aankda’ is a dark comedy story in the conceptual Muftpur village of UP. The movie is based on the habits of the villagers to get free electricity by connecting a wire fraudulently to the overhead cables by a bamboo stick called KATIYA. Government officers are taking every care to stop this practice. Dark Comedy of fraudulent villagers with UP-style item songs, and a typical Pradhanji-making politics are the main attractions of the movie

Few good people like a school teacher and some young boys and girls oppose this KATIYA practice. Sajjan is the right hand of Pradhanji, while Jagan and others are criminals in the village. Pradhanji of the village is glorifying the KATIYA by making it a GODDESS by building a temple and worship it. The Arti of Goddess Katiya is a nice comedy song. Coincidently Pradhan’s charming daughter is also named as Katiya. Katiya tries to flirt Sanju. Sanju, a sincere student gets selected in UPSC for IAS and the fight against Pradhanji and KATIYA practice becomes easy.

Theft of electricity is a major problem in all the corners of India. People feel that they must get free electricity. The losses in such electricity are to be borne by the bill payers and the income tax payers.

The Bollywood movie Aankda talks about the dangers in theft by KATIYA practice. People in Maharashtra call it as Aankda, meaning a hook to attach the wire to the overhead cable.

Producer Chandramohan and Director Akshay Kardak are trying to release the movie in UP, BIHAR, Uttarakhand, and Delhi in the coming November. Writer of the film is Linesh Ghadge. Actress Simmi Dixit is from Lucknow while Vijay Kumar is from Delhi. Pradhanji is cast by Ulhas Adhav while the school teacher is Ravi Deodhar. DoP of the movie is Manoj Gupta. Lyrics are written by Kuldip Singh, Dastgir Mujawar, and Chandramohan, and the music is composed by Salil Mohan. The songs are specifically written with the context of electric current and Katiya. The love song “Tu Bijli ka Taar hai, Main Aankda hun” is like a reply to the Tony Kakkar’s hit song, “BIJLI KA TAAR”.  The song will break the record of Tony Kakkar.

Saz Sargam Production expects that such Muftpur villages will get rid of Katiya practice and will be converted to Vikaspur.

In today’s modern era, the ease of doing business policies has witnessed a rise in industrialization and development projects. Although this approach is positive from an economic perspective, it can prove to be hazardous to the environment if not executed in a proper manner. Thus, policies put in place have been made more stringent than ever, paving the way for the environmental consulting market to grow. Moreover, the recent “Make in India’ initiative is encouraging the reduction of imports, promoting the availability of skilled labor, digitization, and startup culture, further driving this market’s growth. When on-boarding an environmental consulting services provider, clients expect the completion of the environmental consulting projects without any hiccups within the pre-defined timelines. Ensuring the cost of the project fits within the allocated budget is another top priority.

Perfect Pollucon Services, headquartered in Maharashtra, is perfectly poised as one of the leading environmental monitoring services providers for Indoor & Ambient Air Quality Testing, Stack Testing & Environmental Monitoring. The company’s team of experts are well trained to carry out monitoring activities at an expert level within the predefined timelines. “Perfect Pollucon Services has positioned itself to provide a faster response to any queries from clients or government officials. We provide high-quality services at affordable rates. We believe that faster response at affordable rates is the key to sustain in any kind of business and that is what defines us.

Despite the pandemic, the company has soldiered on by going completely digital wherever possible in order to maintain relevancy within the market. The focus of the company’s Environmental Consulting services will be completely customer-centric. “With the onset of Covid19, our company had taken a measured approach to safeguard our employees and mitigate financial and operational exposure. But now things are slowly changing back to normal. We had completely shut down some of the operations like collecting samples from client premises during the pandemic. Now, wherever possible, we have gone completely digital,” explains Tanaji.

Dedicated toward achieving complete customer satisfaction, the company adheres to all guidelines defined by CPCB and International WHO, and EPA to carry out every single Environmental Monitoring Activity. Now, with several organizations, SMBs and large-scale enterprises alike, are attaining increased awareness about the health of its employees on the office premises, the company assists them in measuring the harmful pollutants that may be present within the office or the office premises. Once the pollutant is detected, the team at Perfect Pollucon Services then designs and develops a strategic plan to overcome the challenges.

Setting the Course for the Future

With a strong foothold in this sector, the company intends to continue to deliver value-added services across the spectrum of industry verticals. A linchpin of this domain, the company aims to expand its reach and availability of services across the whole of Maharashtra in the near future. Tanaji adds, “Since the challenging period is almost over, in coming years, our main focus would be to drive growth and increase market share while not compromising on our quality of the service.”

Be it the 50-year-old uncle going out to buy veggies from the sabzi wale bhaiya or the 20-year-olds shopping for Y2K outfits in Sarojini, one thing that every Indian has in common is that we love to bargain.

The sheer joy of getting things we desire at the price that we want is the one pleasure that unites us all. Second only to a cricket match between Ind vs Pak.

But imagine if saving 10 bucks after arguing for an hour with the auto wala only to get late to work, again, brings us such satisfaction, then how thrilling it’d be if we could do the same with travel.

Thanks to the #DropItYourself campaign by JustWravel, the idea that would make the world too perfect for travelers, is now a reality.

Being the first ever campaign of its kind in the travel community, DIY is a unique concept that allows users to choose their own price for a trip.

Blending both the knack for savings and a flair for a bargain that is every common man’s expertise in India, the campaign is part of their annual Sale of The Season aka S.O.S where Travelers can book any trip from the 50+ destinations they get to choose from, at the lowest booking price. 

The best part about the #DIY concept is that any user can come to the website and book a Backpacking trip, Himalayan Trek, or a weekend getaway at the price that they want.

The campaign’s tagline “Stop asking us to drop the price, drop it yourself” is a witty response to the many travelers who keep asking for discounts when planning a trip.

Eliminating the chance of going through the hassle of constant bargaining with a sales representative, the user can simply visit the website and select the price by scrolling the numbers on the dialer provided in the booking section.

What makes #DIY stand out as a campaign is how it uses an everyday habit of an Indian buyer and makes it ten times more satisfying. Plus, they don’t have to deal with stubborn hawkers who’d take up most of their time.

Jodhpur, Rajasthan: The credit behind developing the brilliantly articulated Board game, Shastranga – Untold Secrets, goes to Mr. Triveen Nair.

Shastranga is his second project in the line of success. His first project was historical fiction and a thriller genre book called “Land and Seekers”. The book talks about a least mentioned but the most significant year in Indian history-death of three Indian kings under mysterious circumstances following events that took place in 1766. Not only that, the fiction takes you from the Thar Desert and Calcutta to Oman, Venice, and Zanzibar.

 A fantastic treasure of knowledge and fun has a new name, the Shastranga, a tabletop board game. This modern-age game has blown many minds and grabbed attention all around the world. The presence of stars, planets, and the sky is found in both astrology and astronomy. These distinctive sciences are present in ancient Indian traditions. Shastranga brings you an unimaginable journey of stars by beautifully blending both these genres together.

Shastranga is a masterpiece in a true sense, as it is not just limited to combining astrology and astronomy, but it adds an essence of art and design to it. It is a creative as well as an original piece of art. Shastranga has an aesthetic look when it comes to its appearance. It is a one-of-a-kind tabletop board game that will appeal to all age groups. Unlike a typical board game that is made up of either cardboard and plastic or both, Shastranga is crafted out of hand-carved wood and leather.

Imagining the earth moving on its path is easier now, thanks to Shastranga. It makes one visualize 7500 years of Vedic sky sequence as it is suggestive of bringing the night sky into your own house. And yes, the greatest part about this game is that you do not need to be an expert in either astrology or astronomy while playing this game. The game itself unfolds many untold secrets and teaches you lessons that cannot be forgotten!

The Unique Features of Shastranga

Shastranga has emerged as the first modern-world Indian game with its origins in Indian traditions. Get ready for a few amazing concepts that can just amaze you while you unbox this game.

  • Each player takes turns rolling the twin dice while moving around different star houses. The players identify the color of their star within the 12 moon mansions and plan on acquiring it. There are 27-star houses split up into nine ruling planets.
  • The game progresses by traveling through the star constellation of a calendar month in a pattern that our ancients followed.
  • The aim of the game is to capture the zone belonging to your opponents and not allow them the chance of owning their own star signs.

Shastranga is undoubtedly going to set a record in the coming days with its exquisite identity in the world of modern board games. It is definitely going to make Indian traditions proud due to its novel design and extraordinary framework.
