Virundhu — a feast for change to raise funds for Nalandaway's projects

Your seat at a dinner table in Chennai can help heal children who have been victims of abuse — this is Chennai-based non-profit NalandaWay's promise, as they come together with chef and food historian Rakesh Raghunathan and Park Hyatt's executive chef Balaji Natarajan to host 'Virundhu — a feast for change'.
Sriram V, founder of NalandaWay says that the proceeds from this fund raiser, scheduled for June 14, would be devoted to a project called 'Vaanam Vasapadum'. 'Through this project, we aim to help children from across Tamil Nadu who have been victims of abuse. It is a strong rehabilitation programme that addresses their trauma,' Sriram says. According to him, approximately 3,400 children from across Child Care Institutions (CCIs) are to benefit under the said project.

4 Members of Gujarat Music Band Killed In Bus-Truck Collision In Madhya Pradesh: Cops

Shivpuri: Four members of a Gujarat-based music band were killed and 11 other persons were injured on Saturday in a collision between a mini bus and a small truck in Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh, police said. Members of the music band had performed at a programme in Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi and were returning to Gujarat when the accident occurred around 6 am on National Highway 46, around 30 km from the Shivpuri district headquarters, Station House Officer (SHO) Arvind Chari told PTI. He said the bus driver lost control of the wheel, leading to the bus veering into the wrong lane and colliding. The deceased included Hardik Dave (37), a singer, Raja Thakur (28), Ankit Thakur (17), and Rajendra Solanki (47), all members of the band, the SHO said. He said the injured persons have been admitted to hospitals. A preliminary investigation suggests that the driver of the mini bus with 17 people onboard might have dozed off due to fatigue as the troupe was travelling non-stop from Varanasi since 5 pm (Friday), Chari said. The bodies of the four victims have been handed over to their families, who are transporting them to Gujarat. Chari said the condition of the two critically injured persons is stable now. "We are waiting to record the statement of the injured driver after his condition improves and is able to speak," the SHO said.

Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7: Why is Nevin called the entertainer of Mohanlal-hosted show?

Nevin The dramatic events taking place inside the house, Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, which can be watched on JioHotstar and OTTplay Premium, are attracting more and more viewers. Fans of the reality show are talking about the competitors on social media as they have begun to show their true selves and game strategies. Now, let's examine Nevin's popularity as the season's top entertainer. Why is Nevin hailed as the entertainer of the house? Through his oddball performances, conversations, and game tactics, Nevin has continuously provided viewers with fun content. The contestant has been concentrating on his game and providing some amusing situations, such as witty talks with the other housemates, to keep the audience entertained while the others are seen arguing over trivial matters most of the day. Several viewers made fun of his remarks on online platforms, including "he can't wear plain or dull coloured clothes" and "he misses Mandhi (an Arabic rice dish) more than his mother." Nevin's conversations with Mohanlal during the weekend episodes, especially his requests for heels, also made a lot of people giggle. The audience is left perplexed as he is frequently spotted sneaking into the nook and corner of the bedroom to find something to eat in secret. Nevin has also refrained from making divisive remarks or making complicated remarks about other people's private affairs thus far. Who is Nevin? This Kochi-based stylist and fashion choreographer is mostly familiar to young people on social media. He had also become popular with some of his short videos. He discussed his love of fashion and his strategy for the show in his very first conversation with Mohanlal. Nevin also talked about his difficult upbringing and how his father is not the epitome of the ideal parent in a recent task, which asked BB contestants to share more about their life. The audience praised his openness about being teased for his feminine characteristics. "Could you avoid judging a person by their behavior and respect their talents," he stated.
