“Kathmandu Connection” is a cop-and-gangster drama that tries doing more than use these prototypes to set up a crime thriller. The series reserves a twist of events as the episodes unfold, focusing on how lines can often blur when it comes to setting apart the good and the bad, the lawkeeper and the law-breaker.
The world of OTT fiction mostly dwells in such grey zones, and Sachin Pathak’s six-episode sticks to norm. There are no heroes, no villains. The cop who is obsessed with cracking a high-profile case is driven by interests beyond ensuring justice, just as the gangster who coldly eliminates rivals in the dark world of crime lives by a code, loves from the heart.

David Rudlin asks the questions we would have been asking down the pub
I’m writing this at the end of the first joint conference between the Urban Design Group and the Academy of Urbanism. This is possible because we are not where we should be, which is in the pub, dissecting and joking about everything we have heard over the last three days. Such is the drawback of online conferences that I am reduced to off-loading my thoughts in this a column rather than over a pint.
The UDG and AoU have similar origins. Both were created at the initiative of an RIBA president to focus on what we now call placemaking, rather than just the design of buildings. The UDG was started in 1978 under the name “Architects in Planning” by a group including the late Francis Tibbalds and is the professional membership organisation for those of us who practise urban design. The AoU is younger, having been set up by George Ferguson and John Thompson in 2006 to bring together everyone involved in the cre
Adah Sharma Opens Up On Portraying Trans-Woman In Pati Patni Aur Panga

“When I decided to play Shivani Bhatnagar in ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga’, the triggering point of the story was not that I will get a chance to play a ‘trans-woman’. My point was to represent one who is unique in thought and finds it hard to fit in. I think that anyone who is different in choice, appearance or in any other way, faces criticism and a hard time when it comes to acceptance and validation. At times, we do not understand the other person’s perspective and I think that is alright as long as we are not judgemental,” Adah told IANS.
