Vibhu AgarwalFounder, Ullu, web-streaming app
With a mix of "A- and B-grade erotica", the entrepreneur increased his customer base by 250 per cent in the first two months of lockdown
Lockdown streamed in unexpected luck for Lucknow man, Vibhu Agarwal. In the two months of what the entrepreneur calls a "severe" phase, his customer-base "boomed" at 250 per cent, before reaching "normal course", that is 60 per cent, day-on-day growth!
His company is simultaneously holding talks for tie-ups with collaborating firms in 18 countries; shifting base, from Uttar Pradesh to Australia, as you read this. This, only a year-and-half since he rolled out his first product.
Virgin Boys were two of 13 shows launched by the streaming app during the lockdown
What commodity does Agarwal manufacture, seemingly so essential to times of COVID-19? To be consumed at R36 for five days, or R198 a year (with 20 to 25 per cent cash-back on offer)? No, it's not soap (on TV, or otherwise). Although he looks furthest ..

While the pandemic lockdown has quelled all dissent in the past three months, one protest has only gathered steam. Environmental aActivists, lawyers and common citizens across the country are raising their voice against the central government's controversial draft Environment Impact Assessment Act (EIA) Notification 2020.
Aimed at making the EIA process "more transparent and expedient," the draft EIA 2020 notification, first published on April 11, 2020, seeks to remove public consultation entirely in specific developmental projects, reduce the time for public consultation from 45 days to 40 when it comes to specific projects, and finally, allow post-facto approval of these projects. Given the dangers that this poses to communities likely to be displaced by industrial projects, several environment protection groups like Let India Breathe, Greenpeace India, Aar..

No full house, please
Photographs and videos floating across social media have been offering visual evidence that makes for disbelieving footage for folks like us who are used to seeing quite the opposite. Truth is, an eerie-like calm seems to have taken over most of our public landmarks and tourist attractions, barring CSMT (formerly Victoria Terminus), where human life is slowly trickling in and out of the grand structure, purely on need-based requirements. Likewise, with frames of the city's other notable icon — Gateway of India. I find myself checking the dateline each time a deserted frame pops up on my timeline if it's a recent photo. Because, I, or for that matter, any Bombaywallah, has never seen the landmark and its vicinity, in such an abandoned avatar until now.
I was reminded of an episode from six months back. A friend wanted his US-bred nephew and niece [both were born here] to appreciate the sights and sounds of Fort and Colaba, and had requested me to accompany them. Despite it being a..

Mumbai: What happens in a mega block during lockdown?
The Sunday mega block, the bane of Central Railway (CR) commuters, is back, even as trains are only ferrying essential workers amid the COVID-19 lockdown. mid-day brings to you the details of what railway workers, deemed COVID-19 warriors by the CR, are up to.
"We had a mega block on Sunday, July 12 on the Vidyavihar-Thane up and down lines and the quantum of maintenance work done on this day is much more than the work carried out during night blocks or when trains are not running. CR's COVID-19 warriors were on the job despite heavy rain," a senior official said.
"To start with, this Sunday, we were able to remove the old foot overbridge at Vasind in Raigad district using a road crane as a new bridge has already been put in its place. Tracks were renewed for a 1.54-km stretch between Bhandup and Mulund with about 100 sleepers replaced using a road-rail vehicle along with the removal of 55 scrap rails," he said.

Lockdown: Jobless but fearless, Andheri woman takes up newspaper distribution
The lockdown brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has left many jobless, one of whom is Lina Salgaonkar, a 25-year-old accountant from Andheri. But, Lina could not sit idle at home and took up the job of newspaper distribution at a time when others were scared to continue, fearing they would contract the deadly virus.
Lina, who lives with her parents near Tolani Naka, Andheri, had been working with a ship company for the past six years, but was asked to go on a break in June as the lockdown started affecting many businesses.

Conceptualised and remotely shot Family, a short film on the importance of staying indoors
On March 24, when the government announced the nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic, Prasoon Pandey wondered how he could highlight the importance of 'stay home, stay safe' among the masses. It took him 30 minutes to conceive the short film he called Family, but he knew the road ahead would be difficult. He turned to ad guru and brother Piyush Pandey, who offered two words of advice: "Call Amitji."
The next morning, he made the all-important call to the superstar, and his frequent collaborator Amitabh Bachchan. "He gave his nod and suggested that we raise money through the short film. He offered to get sponsors on board," recounts Pandey, whose wish-list included Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. "They recommended that I include stars from different film industries instead of restricting the roster to Bollywood."

Sashaa Tirupathi: It is now a tribute to Sushant's life, his passion and achievements
Unveiled last week, the soundtrack of Sushant Singh Rajput's Dil Bechara comprised the peppy number, Khulke jeene ka, which paired Shashaa Tirupathi alongside Arijit Singh, in the recording studio. Tirupathi admits that in the aftermath of Rajput's demise, the track holds a special place for her.
"It is now a tribute to the actor's life, his passion and achievements. I feel an aching pain [when] seeing [rushes of] him swaying to melodies of a film that I am part of. There's a sense of [things being] incomplete. This [song] now feels like an intimate conversation; almost like a prayer. [I] hope he is smiling with all the love coming his way."

Finding herself in Oscar-winner AR Rahman's fold yet again with this number, Tirupathi is grateful for the mentor who "sculpted my career". The maestro, she says, has found a way to expose her to different facets of her craft.

A 106-year-old hospital in Mahabaleshwar is reborn
The Morarji Gokaldas Rural Hospital (MGRH) Mahabaleshwar, the foundation stone of which was laid by Lord Willingdon, the then Governor of Bombay in 1914, has got a lease of life.
The decrepit structure next to Mahabaleshwar market, named after its donor Seth Morarji Gokaldas, a leading Bhatia community industrialist is back on shiny, new feet. The hospital was originally built for use by both locals and British tourists, situated on 11 acres of forest land adjacent to the Mahabaleshwar bazaar.
The restored OPD section
Sorry stateThis facility, which has been under the purview of the Ministry of Health and Public Works Department, Maharashtra, had fallen into disrepair, for the past 25 years or so. For more than two decades, this hospital had been left unutilised and entirely unoccupied.

"Anyone who wishes to feed the animals can call us, and we'll collect the food on our bicycles," said treasurer Sanjay Gupta, adding that animals need support as many volunteers aren't venturing out. Apart from this, the group has been sanitising homes, autos and cabs in the area, and has set up a free book stall for kids, since book shops aren't fully functional. "Anyone can donate their old school books or take one," added Gupta. If you'd like to lend support to the cause, call 8286131314.

Road named after Sushant Singh Rajput in Purnia, Bihar
