Bengaluru airport introduces signature soundtrack ‘Rhythm of BLR' to create emotional connections with passengers
Designed to complement the ongoing Feels Like BLR' initiative, this soundscape represents more than just a jingle — it's part of a larger vision to shape the airport into a place that resonates emotionally with travelers, not serving merely as a stopover.

At its heart lies a melody inspired by the BLR Airport Anthem, composed by Grammy-winning artist Ricky Kej. The composition brings together a soulful mix of Carnatic music elements like the mandolin and mridangam, intertwined with Western influences — acoustic and electric guitars, piano, and an uplifting chorus — to create a harmonious blend of the traditional and the contemporary.

Calling it a 'sonic identity', the official account of the airport shared a message on X, saying, 'An airport comes alive with some familiar sounds and evokes a certain set of emotions! Remember the BLR Airport Anthem released last year? It brought some of those moments alive. The anthem has now evolved into a signature tune and musical logo, crafted to stir myriad emotions and remind you of the magic and delight of BLR Airport. In today's multi-sensory world, we believe music has the power to create deep emotional connections and instant recognition.'

'The sound of your journey has arrived! We believe the passenger experience is everything, and Rhythm of BLR, is a celebration of that,' another post said.
This comes after the rollout of another new initiative by the airport, when it introduced a unique scent named 'Dancing Bamboo', designed to forge a stronger sensory bond with travellers.

Judge says Sean ‘Diddy' Combs must stay in jail until he is sentenced
Combs has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fueled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them. read more Sean 'Diddy' Combs can't go home from jail to await sentencing on his prostitution-related conviction, a judge said Monday, denying the rap and style mogul's latest bid for bail. Combs has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fueled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them. He was acquitted last month of the top charges — racketeering and sex trafficking — while being convicted of two counts of a prostitution-related offense. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In denying Combs' $50 million bond proposal, Judge Arun Subramanian said the hip hop impresario hadn't proven that he did not pose a flight risk or danger, nor shown an 'exceptional circumstance' that would justify his release after a conviction that otherwise requires detention. Combs' arguments 'might have traction in a case that didn't involve evidence of violence, coercion or subjugation in connection with the acts of prostitution at issue, but the record here contains evidence of all three,' the judge wrote. Prosecutors declined to comment on the ruling. Messages seeking comment were sent to Combs' lawyers. The conviction carries the potential for up to 10 years in prison. But there are complicated federal guidelines for calculating sentences in any given case, and prosecutors and Combs' lawyers disagree substantially on how the guidelines come out for his case. The guidelines aren't mandatory, and Subramanian will have wide latitude in deciding Combs' punishment. The Bad Boy Records founder, now 55, was for decades a protean figure in pop culture. A Grammy-winning hip hop artist and entrepreneur with a flair for finding and launching big talents, he presided over a business empire that ranged from fashion to reality TV. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Prosecutors claimed he used his fame, wealth and violence to force and manipulate two now-ex-girlfriends into days-long, drugged-up sexual performances he called 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights.' During the trial, four women testified that Combs had beaten or sexually assaulted them. Jurors also watched video of Combs hurling one of his former girlfriends, R&B singer Cassie, to the floor, repeatedly kicking her and then and dragging her down a hotel hallway. His lawyers argued that the government tried to criminalize consensual, if unconventional, sexual tastes that played out in complicated relationships. The defense acknowledged that Combs had violent outbursts but said nothing he did came amounted to the crimes with which he was charged. Since the verdict, his lawyers have repeatedly renewed their efforts to get him out on bail until his sentencing, set for October. They have argued that the acquittals undercut the rationale for holding him, and they have pointed to other people who were released before sentencing on similar convictions. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo suggested in a court filing that Combs was the United States' 'only person in jail for hiring adult male escorts for him and his girlfriend.' Agnifilo also raised concerns about squalor and danger at the Metropolitan Detention Center, the notorious federal lockup where Combs is being held. The judge wrote Monday that those conditions were a 'serious' consideration, but he said Combs hadn't shown that unique circumstances –- such as advanced age or medical issues –- would warrant his release. The defense's most recent proposal included the $50 million bond, plus travel restrictions, and expressed openness to adding on house arrest at his Miami home, electronic monitoring, private security guards and other requirements. Prosecutors opposed releasing Combs. They wrote that his 'extensive history of violence — and his continued attempt to minimize his recent violent conduct — demonstrates his dangerousness.'

Jake Paul Hires Elon Musk's Lawyer To Fight Claims Of Fixed Bouts
Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-professional boxer, has escalated his fight against critics by hiring powerhouse lawyer Alex Spiro – renowned for defending Elon Musk and Jay-Z – to pursue legal action against those alleging his headline bouts are choreographed spectacles rather than genuine contests. Spiro told the New York Post, 'Mr. Paul has retained me to seek legal remedies for the damage he has suffered," warning that anyone using their public platform to spread lies 'will face consequences." I've dedicated my life to boxing and I will no longer let those with a public profile harm me or the sport I love and respect, without consequences — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) August 4, 2025 Criticism of Paul's boxing credentials has become almost as competitive as the sport itself. The most recent uproar followed his bout with Julio César Chávez Jr., a fight notable for its light exchange of punches, which reignited questions about Paul's earlier unanimous-decision victory over Mike Tyson. Social media chatter around Paul's fights typically focuses less on his technique and more on suspicions that he manipulates outcomes to protect his brand. After facing Tyson, he remarked, 'I didn't want to hurt someone who didn't need to be hurt." Although intended as a gesture of respect, many interpreted it as an admission that he deliberately held back to avoid embarrassment – further muddying the waters between genuine competition and entertainment. Since debuting professionally in 2020, Paul has drawn millions of pay-per-view buys and sold-out arenas, attracting both boxing purists and his legion of YouTube fans. Yet, despite his commercial success, prominent figures in the sport remain unconvinced of his legitimacy. British broadcaster Piers Morgan condemned Paul for staging 'fights that clearly benefit him" and, after receiving a legal threat, doubled down, calling it 'ridiculous" to claim these events don't harm boxing's integrity. Even Sylvester Stallone quipped that Paul's performance was akin to 'one of the greatest Oscar-winning performances of all time" before issuing an apology and deleting the post. At 28, Paul holds a 12–1 professional record and runs a marketing machine rivaling those of veteran promoters. His high-profile opponents – former champions like Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, and Tyron Woodley – were viewed by critics as past their primes when they faced him. Detractors argue Paul cherry-picks outdated or out-of-shape fighters, turning his matches into money-making spectacles that threaten to reduce boxing to parody. Defamation lawsuits in sports are on the rise, following precedents such as Brett Favre's suit against Shannon Sharpe and Pat McAfee. With Alex Spiro in his corner, Paul signals that he's prepared to defend his reputation in court if necessary – delivering a legal blow to critics who underestimate him. At this point, the only punch Paul hasn't thrown is the one he plans to land in the courtroom.
