BLACKPINK's Lisa deals with loss of Kentaro Sakaguchi in heartbreaking Dream music video, watch
BLACKPINK's Lisa may as well be the next top K-pop idol-turned-actress in town! In a new short film music video for her solo track Dream, the singer has brought in Japanese star Kentaro Sakaguchi in an unusual but interesting blend of cultures and languages. The song, sung entirely in English, starring a Thai singer and a Japanese actor, had dialogues in Korean, making for one of the most amazing amalgamations on screen. The contents of the 5 minutes 8 seconds short film were, in contrast, more harrowing than one would expect. What is Lisa's Dream music video about? The story starts off as Lisa sits in a church, dressed in black clothes, looking solemn. The scene pans to a screen with the actor lying down inside a coffin, his couple ring still on his finger. As the BLACKPINK member sings of heartbreak and recalls a 'night in Tokyo when it ended', signalling a painful break-up, the scene moves to one where they're traveling in a car. Happiness slipping from their lips, the 28-year-old star can be seen reminiscing about their dating era, where they confirmed their feelings for each other, exchanging rings. As their car ride ends, so do their happy times. The screen changes to that of her rowing a boat in a lonely lake. A moment from their past turns up from their kitchen where the couple exchanges sweet dialogues to each other in Korean and Japanese. She asks what he'd like to be in his next life, and while he ponders, wonders about her own choice. 'A tree', she says, and right then he reveals how he'd be the lake reflecting the very tree she grows into, symbolizing their deep running love for each other. The brief moment is soon broken into the scene where she's rowing all alone as he's gone. The short film ends with her spreading his ashes into the lake as the words, 'Can we be friends at least?' play in the back.

AAP leader Raghav Chadha shares video on day in the life of a Member of Parliament: ‘Day starts at 6 and ends at…'
Raghav Chadha, Aam Aadmi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP, recently gave his followers a peek into what a normal working day looks like for him when Parliament is in session. In an Instagram reel titled 'A Day in the Life of a Member of Parliament,' he walked viewers through his schedule, which, he said, kicks off as early as 6 am. 'As a member of parliament, when the Parliament is in session, the day is full of action and activity,' he says as the video begins. The video shows him starting the morning with a steaming cup of tea and a deep dive into the day's news. Chadha says he reads seven to eight newspapers daily, from English publications like Hindustan Times, The Times of India, The Indian Express, and The Hindu to Hindi dailies including Amar Ujala, Dainik Jagran, Punjab Kesari and Hindustan. Parliament proceedings, he explained, start at 11 am with Zero Hour, where MPs get 'three uninterrupted minutes to speak' if their topic is chosen. That's followed by Question Hour from 12 to 1 pm, when ministers respond to selected questions from members. A lunch break runs from 1 to 2 pm. Post-lunch, Chadha says, 'the legislative business of the government begins,' which means bills are tabled and subjected to 'detailed discussion, dialogue and debate.' The final hour of the day is dedicated to Special Mentions, issues of urgent public importance that MPs submit in writing to be read out in the House. In the caption, he wrote: 'Our day begins before the Parliament does. A cup of chai, a stack of newspapers, and preparation for the debates ahead.' A post shared by Raghav Chadha (@raghavchadha88) The reel, which has crossed four million views, has drawn praise for its rare, behind-the-scenes look. One viewer commented, 'Always wanted to know this… thanks for such informative video.' Another wrote, 'We need our MPs to share useful knowledge like this to everyone! Very nice. Thanks!' Someone else remarked more critically, 'I guess… more than half of the MPs probably don't even know what their job is or what the purpose of attending a session is.'
