Bengaluru celebrates Chittara artform
'CHITTARA ART IS AT LEAST 200 YEARS OLD'
Geeta Hebbar, the organiser, says, 'This is a 200-year-old artform majorly practised by women from a particular community and is passed down through generations. They express their feelings, emotions, joy, and everything through Chittara art.

'TRADITIONAL ARTFORM IS GOING GLOBAL'
Geeta explains that there is quite an interest for the artform at venues abroad too. 'People outside of our country are so fascinated with this artform, especially when they learned that it comes from a small village in India. They felt an instant connection,' she says. 'They were most impressed to see how natural colours were used in unique traditional ways. They appreciated how deeply rooted Chittara is in nature, and admired its beauty and meaning.

'EACH PATTERN HAS ITS
MEANING'
Every design and pattern in Chittara has a meaning associated with it. From borders on the entrance of the house, to painting mud pots for cultural events, every painting has a different meaning, explains Geeta. 'Vessels used during festivals are hand-painted by artists. Again, each of the patterns here has a different meaning that adds cultural value to the entire customs and traditions followed."

Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s car will carry a "Real American Beer" paint scheme and "HULKAMANIA Forever" decal on his Hyak Motorsports No. 47 Chevrolet. The design features the ripping off of his shirt, an image synonymous with Hogan's energy and personality. It is an emotional tribute in the wake of Hogan's passing just this week, for fans of both motorsport and wrestling alike. The partnership rekindles a brand‑racing connection Stenhouse Jr. has partnered with Hogan's Real American Beer brand before, so this isn't the first time. The livery featuring a patriotic theme first turned heads earlier this summer at Michigan International Speedway with a red, white, and blue scheme. But this new paint scheme features extra sentiment, paying homage to the legacy and personality of Hogan.

Veteran actor Dalip Tahil reflects on 45 years in cinema, notes shift from single screens to multi-platform era
Veteran actor Dalip Tahil , who has completed an impressive 45 years in the film industry, shared insights into how the landscape of cinema has transformed over the decades. Recalling the early days when single-screen theatres dominated and opportunities were limited, he noted the rise of OTT platforms, television, and multiplexes has now opened up a wider range of possibilities for actors and filmmakers alike. Reflecting on his career, Dalip told IANS, "When I started 45 years ago, there were only single-screen cinemas, and getting work was very difficult. Today, there are multiple platforms – OTT, TV, and multiplexes – so opportunities are more. But you must be clear about your reason for joining the industry. There's nothing wrong in wanting stardom, money, or a big house – but remember, before becoming a star, you must first become a good actor." When asked if there's a role he's most proud of over his decades-long career, the 'Baazigar' actor reflected on the many characters he's portrayed, each contributing in its own way to his growth as an actor. "I consider myself very fortunate to have worked in so many good films. Dalip shared, "My first superhit was 'My Dear Kuttichathan,' India's first 3D film in Malayalam. Then came 'Aaj Ki Aawaz,' 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak,' 'Baazigar,' 'Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke,' 'Kaho Naa... by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Become Fluent in Any Language Talkpal AI Undo Pyaar Hai,' 'Mission Mangal,' and more recently 'Special Ops 2' and 'The Family Man.' "I can't single out one role – my career has been blessed with great projects and talented colleagues," he added. Talking about his latest OTT project, 'Special Ops,' Tahil mentioned, "Working with Neeraj Pandey is a privilege. I admire him greatly. He first approached me for Special Ops season one, but that role didn't work out. For season two, he offered me a complex character. I trusted Neeraj's vision and played the role as guided. On OTT, the writers and directors control the narrative, and Neeraj is both courageous and creative."

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes Spearhead a New Team-Boosting Tradition in the Chiefs Locker Room
Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahmoes make a huge initiative: Image via X Travis Kelce is noticeably looking fitter than ever this offseason. Rumors have long been floating that the 35-year-old tight end can hang up his cleats following one more season in his iconic No.87. No matter what is going on in his head regarding the decision to pull the rug at year 13, Kelce is ensuring, by the time he makes the most of his time with the Chiefs' camp so that the end doesn't leave a bad taste in the mouth. The multi-time Super Bowl winner is planning something special for each of his teammates, and he has Patrick Mahomes by his side. Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes made an unfathomable move to cheer up the team The star Chiefs athletes made an unprecedented move to psyche up the vibe of the locker room right ahead of another banger year. They are grinding hard and partying harder in their heads. It's not just about fixing the flaws and honing their crafts before the show begins so that they can rack another championship on the table. It's rather about some fun, glitter, and gifts. Mahomes and Kelce decided to splash out $1 million on high-end gifts to their peers to give them a solid energy boost. The move marked a unique example of a sportsman's spirit and the true essence of football. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brother Donates Kidney To Save Sister's Life. One Year Later, He Says, I Wish I Never Did It, When This Happens Daily Sport X Undo It's not about the gift, but it's the thoughts that count. It will surely be a catalyst as the side looks to bounce back from the Super Bowl LIX loss. Each player will receive a hamper worth $17,000 that includes a wide range of fine, luxurious goods, from premium Italian wine to Rolex Air-King watch. The two poster boys also frittered their pockets, spending $280,000 on Louis Vuitton backpacks and $96,000 on designer pocket bags. You might call it a good flex to the 2025 rookies of what it feels like to win for the Chiefs, but no debate, it's still a good, productive flex. But hold on, that's not just it. Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes have more in store for the Chiefs' fraternity If the Chiefs can claim a fourth championship to their names, Kelce and Mahomes are reportedly setting up an all-expenses-paid team trip to Europe, with party locations such as Ibiza and Sardinia. The plan is yet to be finalized, but the sketch is done. " They know there's a strong possibility this could be Travis 's final season, that's why they are going big now," an insider told the Sun ahead of the week 1 clash against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, the best part is the star players aren't just draining their worth in lavish team activities; they are actively strengthening their financial roots, and that too, together, hand in hand. Travis and Patrick are launching their new joint venture, an all-in-one food destination, 1587 Prime Steakhouse, situated on the first floor of the Loews Hotel. The name of the restaurant containing both the players' traditional jersey numbers (No.15 and No.87) speaks for itself. Now, it's safe to say, they are not just setting the bar higher on the field for the newbies; they are rather redefining the term 'teammates' out and beyond.
