This isn't proof read and definitely not perfect, but do leave reviews because they mean everything to me.

_________________________________________

POV:

Lets get one thing straight- I am THE best debater in my school. I love going to debates. But I don't like being forced to go to debates, especially where there are people like him.

Him with his annoying wannabe disney prince hairstyle and him with his annoying flirting glance and him with his annoying signature playboy smirk. He should be renamed Mr.Annoying.

And yet, here I was running on my way to the auditorium for the semi finals, crashing into people and muttering hurried sorrys so they knew that Pristine Academy girls were "lady like" and "well mannered".

I made it through the door just as they said Pristine Academy.

"We qualified", my co debater whispered in my ears.

"Of course we did. We have me in our team."

That was my greatest weapon right there, my confidence.

6 academies had made it to the semis, only 2 would make it to the finals. They called one speaker from each school to come and collect their motions. I rose to go.

We made a queue and headed for the tiny room at the back of the hall, where 6 students could barely fit. I was the second last in the line and there was no way I could see who was behind me since movement there was impossible. I could only smell the mango flavoured shampoo of the girl infront of me. As she got her slip and left I took two small steps and dug my hand inside the bowl placed before me.

I got my hands on one slip and turned to leave, but my foot crashed with someone else's foot and I leaned forward, readying myself for the most embarrassing moment of my school life. Yet, I did not fall.

After something like an eternity and a second, I looked up and found two strong hands gripping my arms, the blue shirt rolled up to the forearms, showing well muscled forearms. My eyes traveled up a muscular shirt into two brown eyes and that was when I realised.

I was in the arms of the debater from Wellstone Academy.

I was in the arms of the winner of the last MUN i had attended.

I was in his arms.

The thought made me puke.

"I see you've fallen for me, Ms.Pristine"

I jerked him off me the way an angry cat dries herself, hissing and meowing loudly.

"I see you've qualified, Mr.Wellstone"

We didn't know each others names. All I knew was his school and the fact that the boy who was assisting him had a huge crush on me.

Both of us stood there for what seemed like an eternity, till he said,

"I've got to collect my topic."

"I'm not stopping you," I replied.

"But you're in my way"

"I'm trying to get out, if you'd be kind enough to move to the side and let a lady pass"

He moved just enough for my to pass by, and when I crossed him I looked up on an impluse, our faces inches away from eachother when I moved to the other side.

"We've got the same motion your grace. We're on the same team, lady" he said, over emphasising the last word.

I looked at him, and all I could smell in that closed room was my rose scented perfume and his manly cologne.

"We won't just make a team, Sir, we'll make a winning team" I said before I walked out, the blood pulsing in my veins.

At least I got the last word this time.

_________________________________________

Guys, the schools mentioned are completely fictitious. They're not real and if they are, then the real ones haven't been mentioned here at all. Thank you for reading:)

Tagging because it's my first time and I need reviews:-

INSPIRATION

From the home of Adam (AS) came a murderer, not just any murderer but one who murdered his own blood brother out of jealousy.

From the home of Lut (AS) came a woman who betrayed her husband and incited the people of the town towards the despicable act of sodomy.

From the home of Nuh (AS), a Nabi of Allah Ta'ala who made dawat for almost a thousand years came a child who refused to board the ark and who drowned as a kafir in front of his eyes.

Yet from the home of Azar, who was not only an idol worshipper but an idol carver and merchant who never in his life took the name of Allah Ta'ala, came Ibraheem (AS) the friend of Allah Ta'ala.

And from the home of Firaun, the one who claimed that He is Allah Ta'ala himself, came Musa (AS) who preached nothing but the oneness of Allah Ta'aala.

How can anyone then claim that the outcome of their family and children is based on their own kamaal?

How can people then look down upon parents who have lost their children to the fitnas of the time, citing their negligence?

How then can anyone with sane understanding and logic believe that guidance is in the hands of anyone but Allah Ta'ala?

In the name of Allah , the most Beneficent, the most Merciful

All praises are for Allah , the most Compassionate, the most Forgiving.

Salutations and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam, his family and companions.

Oh Allah, we submit ourselves to You.

We realize that parenting a child is a very difficult task and we turn to You in humility for Your help.

We implore You for Your wisdom and guidance.

Oh Allah, we know that our children are an amaanat from You, to care for and to raise in a manner that is pleasing to You.

Help us do that in the best way.

Teach us how to love in a way that You would have us love.

Help us where we need to be healed, improved, nurtured, and made whole.

Help us walk in righteousness and integrity so that You may always be pleased with us.

Allow us to be an Allah Ta'ala - fearing role model with all the communication, teaching, and nurturing skills that we may need

The Art of Captivating Commerce: Mastering Catalog Photoshoots in delhi

Delhi Delights: Mastering Catalogue Shoots in the Heart of India

Delhi! A city brimming with vibrant energy and a hub for e-commerce businesses. But with so much competition online, how do you make your products shine? The answer: killer catalogue photos.

Here's the insider scoop to transform your Delhi catalogue shoot from "meh" to "kamaal" (amazing)!

Know Your Product, Know Your Delhi:

First things first - understand what makes your product special. Who's your ideal customer? Are they young fashionistas or families seeking cozy homeware? Knowing this helps you craft visuals that resonate.

Think about Delhi too! Will your product pop against a modern studio backdrop, or come alive in the bustling energy of a street market? The location should complement your brand's story.

Planning Makes Perfect:

Mood boards are your best friend! Collect images, colors, and anything that captures the vibe you want. This will guide your prop choices, backgrounds, and lighting.

Lights, Camera, Delhi Magic!

Natural light in Delhi is a dream, but don't forget studio lighting for even illumination. Keep backgrounds clean (white or neutral tones are classic) and let your product be the star.

Secret Weapon: Props!

Props add context and visual interest. A steaming cup next to a coffee maker tells a story. But remember, don't overpower your product!

Editing Essentials:

Basic editing software can work wonders. Think tweaking brightness, contrast, and color for that polished look.

Bonus Tip: Consider stylists for fashion or accessory products. They'll elevate your presentation with expert touches.

With these Delhi catalogue shoot hacks, your products will be ready to captivate online audiences and take your e-commerce business to the next level!

Kamal Haasan The Iconic Journey of a Cinematic Legend

Kamal Haasan, the eminent South Indian actor, celebrates his 69th birthday on November 7, 2023. His remarkable career spanning over six decades is nothing short of legendary. This article delves into fascinating facets of Kamal Haasan's life and career that have made him a celebrated figure in the world of Indian cinema. The Birth of a Legend Born on November 7, 1954, in Paramakudi, Tamil Nadu, Kamal Haasan's journey in the film industry began at a very young age. He started as a child artist in the film "Kalathur Kannamma," where his exceptional talent earned him a Gold Medal for Best Child Artist. This early recognition marked the commencement of his illustrious career. A Multi-Talented Virtuoso Kamal Haasan, not just an actor but a complete artist, is renowned for his remarkable versatility. Besides acting, he is also a highly acclaimed choreographer. His involvement in films like "Anbai Thedi," and "Kasi Yathirai" reflects his contribution to dance choreography. Kamal Haasan is also trained in Bharatanatyam, which further showcases his multifaceted talents. https://www.instagram.com/p/CrGhfLYP1FO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== A Seven-Time Oscar Entry Kamal Haasan holds the unique distinction of representing India in the Best Foreign Film category at the Oscars not once, but seven times. Films like "Hey Ram," "Indian," "Kuruthipunal," "Thevar Magan," "Nayagan," "Sagar" (Hindi), and "Swathi Muthyam" (Telugu) were India's official entries. He has been hailed as "Indian cinema's first and perhaps last complete hero." The Highest Paid Actor of 1994 In 1994, Kamal Haasan set a record by demanding a fee of one crore rupees for a film. His fee made him the highest-paid actor that year, outshining many of his contemporaries. A Double Winner at Filmfare Awards Kamal Haasan achieved a rare feat by winning both the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor awards at the Filmfare Awards for the film "Sagara" (1985). Sunny Deol's Connection Few people know that Sunny Deol's blockbuster films "Ghayal" and "Ghatak" were initially scripted for Kamal Haasan. However, due to certain producer-related issues, the star cast had to be altered, leading to Sunny Deol's association with these iconic films. Longest Theatrical Run One of Kamal Haasan's films, "Maro Charithra" (1978), enjoyed a historic theatrical run of over 200 days in 18 theaters across Andhra Pradesh. This extended run included 693 days in Bangalore, 596 days in Chennai, and 350 days in Mysore. Five Silver Jubilee Films in a Year In 1982, Kamal Haasan made history by having five films that celebrated their Silver Jubilee in a single year. These films were "Vazhvey Maayam," "Moondram Pirai," "Sanam Teri Kasam," "Sakalakala Vallavan," and "Yeh To Kamaal Ho Gaya." Awards and Honors Kamal Haasan's incredible contributions to Indian cinema have earned him numerous accolades, including: 19 Filmfare Awards 4 National Film Awards Kalaimamani Award Padma Shri Padma Bhushan Kamal Haasan's journey in the world of cinema is a story of unparalleled dedication and innovation. He continues to inspire generations with his artistic brilliance and versatile performances. Happy 69th Birthday to the maestro who redefined Indian cinema! Also checkout: Read the full article

Kamaal Ibn John Fareed (born Jonathan William Davis; on April 10, 1970) has his wallet. He is known as Tip, a rapper, record producer, singer, actor, and DJ. He started his career in the late ’80s as an MC and leading producer of the rap group A Tribe Called Quest. During the mid-’90s, he co-founded the production team The Ummah, which led to the release of his gold-certified solo album in 1999. In the 2000s, he released his second solo album, The Renaissance, which earned him a Grammy nomination.A Tribe Called was the subject of a documentary called Beat Rhymes &Life The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest. It gives an inside look into a part of the hip-hop genre that best defines me: the Native Tongue collection that was vibrant in the mid-‘90s. Outside of his music, Q-Tip has appeared in several films. He has also collaborated with several artists in hip-hop and soul. As a DJ, he has hosted Beats 1 radio show and Abstract Radio since 2015. In 2016, he was named the artistic director for hip-hop culture at the Kennedy Center. In 2018, he became the instructor of hip-hop and jazz courses at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Q-Tip and the rest of A Tribe Called Quest recently released an album a few years ago. He has spread his wings by working with various artists over his career. Q-Tip misses his friend group member, Phife Dawg, but still keeps his name alive. A Tribe Called Quest is a part of my favorite rap groups and released some essential albums in hip hop.

Episode 160 : Raw Up Close

"Whose ways are strange when it's time to survive?"

- DOOM

My birth month comes around once again, but times are getting rougher out there, so this is a pretty rugged selection on the whole - which, to be fair, fits the changing of the season too. Looks like I'm going to be pulling the hoodies and boots out...

RIP Coolio, who passed away just after the music recording was completed for this episode. Never heard a bad word said about the man even once. I'd love to see our legends grow old.

Playlist/Notes

L.E.G.A.C.Y : 7-3-71

For all these years, I had no idea what the track title was referring to, but I decided to try and find out while writing these notes. There weren't too many notable events that seemed to fit, but one looked possible - the death of Jim Morrison. On this track, L.E.G.A.C.Y mentions being "the Jim Morrison of this"...the mystery might just be solved! 9th Wonder is on the beat, which shuffles along nicely with a bassline-driven rhythm while L.E.G.A.C.Y spits two freewheeling verses. The "Legsclusives" album from 2003 is now available on Bandcamp, so you can get this and put some money directly into the man's pocket.

Statik Selektah : Nobody Move

As much as the vocal version with Raekwon and Royce from the "8" LP is a winner, it's actually nice to hear this dramatic number on the instrumental version of the LP without the vocals. The drum track brings to mind the famous "Amen" break, but I don't think it's a sample, and the horns are a great accompaniment.

Black Moon : Stay Real

If the sample sounds familiar, your ears aren't deceiving you! While you might recognise it from Jay-Z's "Public Service Announcement", it was the Beatminerz who cooked it up for this track first (and actually, Buckwild touched it even before them). It's a noisy, dark backing for Buckshot's slithering Brooklyn flow, while 5ft comes with a more animated mic style. This single was a standout from the "Total Eclipse" LP, which was a worthy addition to the Black Moon catalogue. They're truly a group who never, ever switched it up for commercial appeal.

Prodigy & DJ Premier : Walk Out

The welcome surprise of the month is this dark single, just released by the estate of the late Prodigy of Mobb Deep. With DJ Premier, who backed Mobb Deep early on, on production, P just goes in with his legendary icy-cold delivery. For more, check the any-day-now release of the first posthumous Prodigy album, "The Hegelian Dialectic 2: The Book of Heroine". Rest in peace P.

Meyhem Lauren, Daringer, and Hologram : Raspberry Crush

Meyhem is one of my favourite on the mic, so I was excited to see he had a new release out, entirely produced by Daringer from the Griselda crew. "Black Vladimir" is a 15-track platter of fuzzy, dusty, mostly downtempo street production for an MC who knows exactly what to do with that kind of material. On this tune Meyhem's fellow Outdoorsman Hologram comes along for the ride, and he does his thing - though there was one adlib I had to be rid of - but Meyhem will pretty much always be the best MC on any track you hear him on.

Roc Marciano & The Alchemist : Zig Zag Zig

If you like the kind of dark, downtempo crime records that have been in vogue over the last few years, understand that Roc Marciano was a pioneer of that style. Combine him with the genius behind the boards that is The Alchemist, leave to cook, and you get something like the new "The Elephant Man’s Bones: Pimpire Edition" album, from which this is drawn. The drums are more prominent here than on many Roc tracks, but still somewhat subdued, and he kicks his trademarked slick talk, street corner, word association lyrics over a long verse before Alchemist brings it home with a changeup on the beat. If you've ever heard me talk about "headphone music", this is a prime example.

Jay Dee : Kamaal

A little something to nod your head to, taken from Jay Dee's 2003 "Vintage" release. The tracks themselves are from the mid to late 90s, but even several years later they stand up, and there's no mistaking the producer - this was the era of his work that arguably spawned the most disciples and imitators.

Zo! and Tall Black Guy ft. Sy Smith, Black Milk, and Elzhi : The Ride

Last year's "Abstractions" album is a compact, beautiful collaboration between these two talented producers, and one which the R&B fans should definitely have a listen to. Here, it's an all-Detroit affair on the mic with Black Milk and Elzhi coming with short, laidback verses over an instrumental I'd call smooth as silk if it wasn't also giving the woofers a bit of a workout too. Sy Smith rounds things off with a staccato, breathy hook, and a little bit of talkbox action on backing vocals is the perfect accent.

Snoop Dogg : The Way Life Used To Be

West West! Something told me I needed a DJ Battlecat production in this spot, so here's one from the 2011 "Doggumentary" album - and Snoop was trying to go even further back that that! Reflecting on the old days and the wisdom of family elders, this actually leads well into the following cut...

2Pac : Nothing But Love

This September marks twenty-six years since 2Pac's passing, so I thought I'd go to a B-side (well, co-A-side at least) from my collection, as I've recently been back on my digitisation project. This is on the "I Get Around" 12", and has Pac talking about the streets and lessons learned over a beat he co-produced with Tony Pizzaro.

Stro Elliot & James Brown : Coal Sweat

Vintage funk with a 21st century kick (literally) as the highly talented producer and multi-instrumentalist Stro Elliot puts some grade A knock into this version of James Brown's pivotal funk classic "Cold Sweat". This is just one of the heaters on his excellent release "Black & Loud : James Brown Reimagined by Stro Elliot" from earlier this year. If any track on this episode deserves your volume turning to 11, it's this one.

Otis McDonald : We Go Hard

Otis McDonald is the alter ego of producer Joe Bagale, and since finding out about him this year, I haven't heard a bad beat yet! A lot of his music has actually been released as copyright free, which is definitely an unusual move. As great as this new single from the "Fall" LP would be with a top-tier lyricist rhyming on it, it simply doesn't need it, and effortlessly lives up to its title.

The Basement Khemist : Everybody (L.I.F.E.)

This B-side slipped by me for many a year, as the excellent "Vibrate" was always a favourite, but I gave the other side a spin recently and thought it'd be a good one to share! While the act name implies a single person, their name has varied over different releases and this is in fact a group. Produced by crew member Joc Max, there's a lot to like lyrically here, with the MCs alternating between a prayer and lamenting the temptations of the streets.

Elzhi ft. Ayah : The Leak

Elzhi again, why not? This time he takes centre stage though, on the first full track from his 2008 LP "The Preface". Black Milk's beat is burly, with the kick-bass combo filling the low end nicely, and all the other (sampled?) instrumentation falling into place around it. Of course, it's all about the bars when it comes to an Elzhi cut and he gives us the quality verses we've come to expect. For the streaming fans, this LP currently is on Tidal but not Spotify, but personally I'd recomment buying it - especially with the excellent "Hands Up" also being included.

Nym Lo, Dave East, Statik Selektah : I Love The Game

The final tune chosen for this month's mix, this one leapt into the selection before I'd even got to the end of the first verse! Harlem representative Nym Lo drops a wicked single, but it's guest Dave East who more effectively emphasises the message from the hook - the streets don't love you. Statik Selektah's beat has plenty of low-end knock on a 2022 boom-bap tip. Definitely a release to add to your collection!

Madvillain : Strange Ways

"Now, who's the real thugs, killers, and gangsters?" Who indeed? Probably my favourite track from the classic "Madvillainy" LP - while I confess to not being as big a Madlib fan as some, this beat of his is a perfect canvas for the late MF DOOM to spit a compact two verses on the violence of the world.

Pete Rock : Mind Frame (Instrumental)

Winding it back over twenty years, we have this bumping, brash Pete Rock beat that you might well know from the updated release of the "Petestrumentals" album; pretty much any modern-day purchase will include this, with Freddie Foxxx coming extra-rugged on the vocals. This instrumental did come out as part of the "Mind Frame/Back On The Block" single though, as well as the compilation "The Beat Generation 10th Anniversary Single Collection" - both well worth having.

Wu-Tang Clan : Protect Ya Neck (Radio Version)

As I say on the voiceover, Wu-Tang came to mind when I reached this episode number, and this track in particular. Rather than play the album version, I decided to go with the radio edit from the original 12" single - this was the way I heard this track for the first time, and to this day I still prefer it! Absolute rawness that still hits almost thirty years after its original release, and a near-perfect introduction to the Clan; Masta Killa and Cappadonna, who at various times have been listed as members, don't appear, but everyone else does and they burn it down. You had to be there in '93 to appreciate what a rebellion this was against the dominant sounds, but just know that it changed the game.

Please remember to support the artists you like! The purpose of putting the podcast out and providing the full tracklist is to try and give some light, so do use the songs on each episode as a starting point to search out more material. If you have Spotify in your country it's a great way to explore, but otherwise there's always Youtube and the like. Seeing your favourite artists live is the best way to put money in their pockets, and buy the vinyl/CDs/downloads of the stuff you like the most!

Some of these social-comedies include 'Shubh Mangal Savdhaan' (2017) based on erectile dysfunction, 'Badhaai Ho' (2018) which revolved around the normalisation of sex and pregnancies in middle-aged or elderly couples, and 'Article 15' (2019) which was based on caste and gender issues in India. Ayushmann has enthralled fans with soulful songs such as 'Paani Da Rang', 'Nazm Nazm', 'Saadi Galli Aaja', 'Mitti Di Khushboo', and 'Chan Kitthan' over the years. Childhood sweethearts, Ayushmann Khurrana and Tahira Kashyap tied the knot in November 2008. The couple share son Virajveer and a daughter Varushka. Meanwhile, the 'Article 15' actor will be next seen in an action film 'An Action Hero' alongside Jaideep Ahlawat, which is slated to release on December 2, 2022. Helmed by debutant Anirudh Iyer. Ayushmann will also be seen in Anubhuti Kashyap's Doctor G. (AF) Read the full article
