Emiway Bantai's prophet gave him a superstition to protect against evil eye: ‘Nothing can touch them, except death'
The video has been titled Day 2 Day episode-1, clearly indicating that Emiway is going to continue with this new video series. As mentioned before, he starts his day by praying on his balcony, which overlooks the Persian Gulf and the sprawling skyline of the city. After finishing up his prayers, the rapper talked about his habit of eating kalonji (nigella seeds) and how his prophet has advised him that 'whoever eats kalonji, nothing can touch them, except death.' He was presumably talking about evil eye and curses here. He said that the drink made with nigella seeds, ginger and turmeric helps him with his immunity.

The rapper then took out his laptop and put one of his songs on export before hitting the gym. He said, 'I will put it on export now, and I will listen to it while working out in the gym and think of what else I can do with the song. The one that I am working on right now is called 'Paisa'.' He added that he has been following the same routine for the last six months but decided to relax for last four days. He then got ready to hit the weights and shared the number of health supplements he takes before he starts his gym routine, including a pre-workout drink, creatine and an EAA protein supplement.
In some subtle shots scattered across the video, Emiway showcased his lavish home and some of the amenities that it comes with, including a fancy self-operational door lock. The rapper then shared some highlights from the gym and the beach, where he did some cardio to end his workout. He ended the day with working on some music at his home studio set-up, dinner comprising of meat, eggs and corn, and some more praying.
Interestingly, Emiway has been making a lot of noise lately, as the rapper's last released single was a tribute song for Sidhu Moosewala to honour his upcoming birth anniversary. Emiway's last studio album came out in 2023 and was titled 'King of the Street'.

Readers' comments: Thanks for telling the real ‘Kerala Story'
Thank you so much for this piece you have written (' Going off script: Our front row view of another Kerala story '). It is sincere, dignified and to the point. This is the real Kerala story. My wife and I were born Malayali, raised and educated in Tamil Nadu, served for three decades in Odisha and returned home to rural Kerala after retirement. While we love the places we lived in, the last 14 months of living in Kerala have been a fascinating learning experience: we have been having an 'aisa bhi ho sakta hai, kya' – is it even possible that things can be like this – kind of experience. The points the authors raised strike us every day too: the dignity of every individual, the ease of living tension-free, the near invisibility of the police in daily life – it is a refreshing change. No wonder so many others from villages in South Odisha come here to work. There can be respect, regardless of your caste and job. There are issues that could be addressed, but it is so much better than most other parts of our country. Thank you for saying it like it is. – Johnny Oommen *** This 'Kerala Story' had tears of pride rolling down my cheeks. It is heartening to read about the truth by my fellow humans who have no axe to grind about the true state of things in a much-maligned, politically targetted state. May both the authors complete their PhDs well and take the real Kerala experience to places where their education takes them. More importantly, may they transmit that quiet dignity of the ordinary human being that they found in Kerala, across India. – John Chiramel *** As an honest Keralite and Indian, the authors were impressed by the many positives of Kerala and either chose not to see or did not see how many of the state's water bodies are polluted with plastic. It is a worrisome sight that reflects the realities. Otherwise, it was a morale-boosting article, especially coming from non-native authors. I thank them for their positive words and I hope that Kerala will similarly continue to impress migrants from across India. – Alice Prakash *** The film that showed Kerala in a bad light was based more on fiction than facts. This story is based on facts. Kudos to the writers. – Anil Thomas *** This is a real 'Kerala Story'. Thanks for the attempt and effort put in this. – KR Deepa *** What kind of editorial judgement allowed the publishing of an article that condescends towards the home states of the authors while being sycophantic to the state where the authors are currently based. Did anybody expect anything different? I am saddened by the lack of editorial oversight. – Abhay Kher *** Thank you for all the nice things you said about Kerala. But there is a dark side too, in terms of the business environment. Many industrialists and small businesses have quit due to the militant nature of labour unions. – Ram Kumar Raja *** The authors have not encountered the infamous labour unions of Kerala. Nor do they seem to have witnessed the elements backed to the hilt by the current government, pushing drugs and narcotics among youngsters. Liquor bars at every corner of Kerala doesn't make it a safe state at all. – Ravi Shankar *** It's with great pride that I say that I hail from Kerala. But I wish my state had better roads which stand up to the rains, a more buoyant public healthcare system that provides quality care unlike the burgeoning corporate sector, better waste management and action against stray dogs. – George Jacob *** A heartening article. Hoping the writers can carry this back to their home towns and positively influence their spaces. – Pippa Nair *** We from Kerala have always been taking it for granted. Thank you for vividly expressing your unbiased personal experience. I feel it is the aspirational mindset of the people, built on the foundation of literacy, that takes the state forward on the path of development. – Achamma George *** This was a touching and nostalgic read. This is the Kerala of my summer holidays. The place seeps into your heart and soul. – Mary Tahir *** This is a well-written article. Don't forget the daily sweeping of the roads and the cleanliness seen everywhere. That is something that I haven't seen in any other state and is worth emulating. – Pippa Nair *** This is fitting response to the manipulated The Kerala Story of the fascist Bharatiya Janata Party and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh regime. – A Rajamohan Very well told! And truth be told, the lack of job opportunities and industry also choke the state. –Nasser Yusuf ***

What do we know about Aamir Khan and his alleged son 'Jaan' with Jessica Hines?
Aamir Khan, who is otherwise popularly known as Mr. Perfectionist in the professional realm, has had a couple of failed marriages and some scandalous relationships in his past. However, over the years, he has overcome all of them and has worked on his shortcomings so much so that he has even openly acknowledged the fact that he wasn't around for his family and kids Zunaid, Ira and Azaad as much he should have been. Looks like his past has resurfaced yet again and this time, it is his brother Faisal Khan who has confirmed Aamir's alleged live-in relationship with British Journalist and author, Jessica Hines. To note Faisal, Aamir even has a son out of wedlock with Jessica, named Jaan, who has been raised independently by the latter. The news was first brought into light back in 2005 by Stardust Magazine and ever since, it has circulated at its pace. Followed by Jaan's debut in 2012's British Vogue, that added further fuel to the fire and got the rumourmills buzzing upon the resemblance between him and Aamir. As per reports, Aamir had first met Jessica on the sets of Ghulam in 1998 and since, they were living together. As per multiple reports, she came to India during the late 90s while working on Amitabh Bachchan's biography. Later, the British author found out about her pregnancy. Aamir Khan, allegedly didn't wish to do anything with the child and had asked Jessica for an abortion, the latter, chose to have the kid and raise the him alone. Both the parties has always been mum on the matter and never spoke anything about this issue in public. But these new allegations from Aamir's brother has reignited all the buzz, with Aamir's relationship with Jessica making headlines again. As per Faisal, Aamir & Jessica's affair began while he was married to Reena Dutta. He went on to add that, during the same time, Aamir was also living together with his second wife, Kiran Rao whom he divorced in 2022. Faisal, who has cut all the family ties, said during a media briefing, "Aamir married Reena and later divorced her. Then he had a relationship with Jessica Hines, unka illegal baccha tha, out of wedlock (he had an illegitimate child). He was living with Kiran (Rao) at that time (of this incident)." Cut to present, the family, be it Reena Dutta or Kiran Rao, share a close bond now and the amends have been made. Jessica, on the other hand, moved on and married London-based businessman William Talbot. On the work front, Aamir Khan was last seen in Sitaare Zameen par. It was his return to big screens 3 years after he quit acting post the Laal Singh Chaddha debacle.

‘I don't want to be a…': Yuvraj Singh reflects on his father's tough love and not using the same parenting approach on his children; expert on avoiding projection
Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh opened up about fatherhood, his childhood, and how his relationship with his own father, Yograj Singh, shaped the man he is today, in a recent interview. The former cricketer, known for his fearless performances on the field and his resilience off it, has now embraced a more relaxed and family-oriented phase of life. As a father to son Orion and daughter Aura, Yuvraj is clear about what he doesn't want to carry forward from his own upbringing. 'With my father, it was always about cricket. I don't want to be a coach to my kids, I want to be a dad,' he stated. Appearing alongside his mother, Shabnam Singh, in an episode of Curly Tales on YouTube, Yuvraj revealed that growing up under the stern guidance of Yograj Singh, a former cricketer himself, was often intense. 'He was harsh at times, but it was also his dream that I live his dream, which I understood,' Yuvraj shared. 'There were times when I didn't like it, but I think sometimes you have to do things which you don't like to understand what you want to achieve.' And while that pressure may have helped him break into the national team at just 18, Yuvraj says he now wants something very different for his children. Neha Cadabam, senior psychologist and executive director at Cadabams Hospitals, tells 'Children who grow up in highly goal-driven environments often internalise performance as the primary route to approval and self-worth. This can blur the line between who they are and what they achieve. As adults, developing a distinct identity may involve unlearning these early associations and exploring personal interests outside the realm of achievement.' A post shared by Yuvraj Singh (@yuvisofficial) Psychologically, she adds that this process is often supported through self-reflection, therapy, or exposure to more diverse definitions of success — ones that include emotional intelligence, relationships, creativity, or community involvement. It's also helpful when these individuals find safe spaces where vulnerability and curiosity are encouraged, rather than measured outcomes. Cadabam notes that this shift represents a meaningful evolution in how parenting is being reimagined by many second-generation parents. 'For individuals like Yuvraj Singh, who were raised in high-pressure, performance-oriented homes, the decision to separate coaching from parenting reflects a deeper desire for emotional closeness, unconditional acceptance, and relational presence.' Psychologically, this signifies healing and conscious parenting, a move away from transactional dynamics ('you perform, I love') toward connection-driven ones ('I love you, period'). It's a powerful reminder that nurturing a child's sense of safety and emotional confidence is just as valuable as preparing them for success. 'One healthy way is to stay curious about the child's emerging interests, even when they diverge from the parent's own dreams,' highlights Cadabam. This means asking, 'What lights you up?' rather than 'What will make you successful?' Parents can act as facilitators, not directors, providing tools, exposure, and emotional support while leaving space for the child to choose their own journey. 'Practicing reflective parenting helps too: when a parent feels triggered or overly invested in a child's outcome, it's useful to ask, 'Is this about them, or about something unresolved in me?' Therapy or parent coaching can provide support in unpacking those patterns,' concludes the expert.
