  • Extreme Heat Hits Jharkhand: 7 Districts Record 40+ Temperatures

    A blistering heatwave has swept across Jharkhand, pushing temperatures beyond 40 degrees Celsius in seven districts, according to officials who reported the scorching conditions on Sunday.

    Chaibasa, in West Singhbhum district, bore the brunt of the heat, hitting a sweltering 41 degrees Celsius on Saturday—7.6 degrees above the usual average. Daltonganj wasn’t far behind, clocking in at 40.7 degrees, while Bokaro Thermal registered a sizzling 40.1 degrees. Jamshedpur, in East Singhbhum, touched 40 degrees Celsius, a sharp 6.4-degree jump from normal levels. Even the state capital, Ranchi, wasn’t spared, simmering at 37 degrees Celsius—6.1 degrees higher than typical for this time of year. Garhwa, Godda, and Pakur also joined the 40-plus club, leaving residents across these areas grappling with the oppressive heat.

    The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has offered a glimmer of hope, forecasting a dip in temperatures starting March 19. “We’re expecting a shift in the weather,” said Abhishek Anand, Deputy Director of Ranchi Meteorological Centre, in a chat with PTI. “Light rain is likely on March 19 and 20, followed by light to moderate showers on March 21 and 22, thanks to moisture rolling in from the Bay of Bengal and a western disturbance stirring things up.” Until then, a Yellow alert remains in place for March 16 across Seraikela-Kharswan, East Singhbhum, West Singhbhum, Dhanbad, and Bokaro, signaling caution as the heatwave lingers.

    For now, authorities are urging people to steer clear of the outdoors between noon and 3 p.m., when the sun is at its fiercest. The heatwave’s grip has raised eyebrows, especially after recent IMD warnings of an unusually warm March-to-May stretch across India. As Jharkhand swelters, residents are counting the days until the promised rains bring some relief.

  • Buttler Takes on Maxwell as Titans Face a Revamped PBKS in IPL 2025 Opener

    IPL 2025 Preview: Gujarat Titans vs Punjab Kings – A Fresh Start and a Powerplay Push
    Overview

    As IPL 2025 kicks off, Punjab Kings (PBKS) embrace their usual mantra of a new beginning. After retaining just Prabhsimran Singh and Shashank Singh from IPL 2024, and securing Arshdeep Singh and Harpreet Brar at the mega auction, PBKS have rebuilt their squad under new head coach Ricky Ponting. Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans (GT) stick with continuity, banking on captain Shubman Gill, the genius of Rashid Khan, and new firepower in Jos Buttler, while aiming to boost their sluggish powerplay from last season.

    Punjab Kings: A New Era Under Ponting and Iyer
    Ponting’s ambition is bold: to craft “the greatest Punjab Kings team” yet. With Shreyas Iyer, a title-winning captain from KKR in 2024, at the helm, PBKS have a promising foundation. The middle order boasts Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis, while Lockie Ferguson and Yuzvendra Chahal bolster the bowling. Despite this potential, PBKS’s history of underachievement looms large—will this be the year they finally shine?

    Probable XI:

    Prabhsimran Singh, 2. Josh Inglis (wk), 3. Shreyas Iyer (capt), 4. Glenn Maxwell, 5. Nehal Wadhera, 6. Marcus Stoinis, 7. Shashank Singh, 8. Marco Jansen, 9. Harpreet Brar, 10. Vijaykumar Vyshak, 11. Arshdeep Singh, 12. Yuzvendra Chahal
    Key Dilemma: Should PBKS pick Josh Inglis or Azmatullah Omarzai as their fourth overseas player? Inglis offers batting stability, but Omarzai adds bowling depth, potentially pushing Priyansh Arya to open alongside Prabhsimran.

    Gujarat Titans: Powerplay Focus and Bowling Strength
    GT’s core remains intact with Gill, Rashid Khan, and Rahul Tewatia, but the addition of Jos Buttler and a revamped pace attack—Kagiso Rabada, Gerald Coetzee, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna—adds intrigue. Gill’s goal is clear: “maximise the powerplay” after a dismal 7.41 runs per over last season. His own strike rate of 131.08 in the powerplay needs a lift to match his ambitions for GT and India. The middle order looks fragile, but GT’s bowling might just carry them through.

    Probable XI:

    Shubman Gill (capt), 2. Jos Buttler (wk), 3. Sai Sudharsan, 4. Glenn Phillips, 5. Shahrukh Khan, 6. Washington Sundar, 7. Rahul Tewatia, 8. Rashid Khan, 9. R Sai Kishore, 10. Kagiso Rabada, 11. Mohammed Siraj, 12. Prasidh Krishna
    Spotlight Players
    Jos Buttler (GT): A T20 powerhouse with a strike rate near 150 since 2024, Buttler’s two IPL 2024 hundreds make him vital for GT’s powerplay push.
    Glenn Maxwell (PBKS): Back for his third stint with PBKS, Maxwell’s recent BBL form (325 runs at 186.78) signals a potential return to his 2014 peak (552 runs).
    Key Stats
    Gill dominates at Narendra Modi Stadium with 1079 T20 runs (avg. 71.93, SR 163.23).
    Rabada and Rashid topped the wicket charts in SA20 earlier this year.
    Rashid (8.94) and Chahal (9.00) excel in death overs, trailing only Bumrah and Pathirana.
    Inglis strikes at 149.09 vs pace and 145.74 vs spin.
    Pitch and Conditions
    The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch remains unpredictable. IPL 2024 saw low scores (GT’s 89 vs DC) and high chases (two 199+ totals chased, including by PBKS). Chasing teams won 6 of 8 games here last season, suggesting a slight edge for the side batting second.

    Summary
    PBKS enter IPL 2025 with a revamped squad and high hopes under Ponting and Iyer, leaning on Maxwell and Stoinis for fireworks. GT, meanwhile, blend familiarity with fresh faces like Buttler, aiming to fix their powerplay woes with a fearsome bowling unit. The clash at Ahmedabad promises a battle of strategy and star power—can PBKS break their trophy drought, or will GT’s bowling edge prevail?

    Upcoming Fixtures:

    GT: Mumbai Indians (home), RCB (away), SRH (away)
    PBKS: LSG (away), RR (home), CSK (home)

  • Poor Things: Breaking Down the Movie Magic

    Last weekend, my partner and I caught "Poor Things," directed by the brilliantly eccentric Yorgos Lanthimos, at the theater—and wow, am I thrilled we did. This is one of those films that demands the big screen treatment. I’d read reviews raving about its visual splendor, but nothing prepared me for the sheer explosion of creativity from the designers, cinematographer, and costume team. Every frame is packed with so much to soak in—it’s almost overwhelming, in the best way possible.

    The movie’s script is adapted from Alasdair Gray’s novel, offering a quirky twist on the Frankenstein tale. It follows Bella, a reanimated creation of a mad doctor, as she embarks on a journey of rediscovery. Her wide-eyed wonder and insatiable curiosity propel the story forward, making her both endearing and fascinating. One standout moment for me was when Bella first hears music and instinctively starts to dance. Her unbridled joy was infectious, and the choreography—especially Mark Ruffalo’s goofy, galloping moves—was pure delight.

    The film’s surreal vibe is amplified by its over-the-top sets. Nothing feels remotely ordinary, and that bold, all-in approach works wonders. I was particularly smitten with the fantastical version of Lisbon, though the ship scenes were a close second—lavish and dreamlike in equal measure.

    Emma Stone’s portrayal of Bella Baxter is nothing short of phenomenal—she’s already nabbed a Golden Globe, and I’m rooting for her to snag an Oscar too. The entire cast shines, though. Willem Dafoe dials it back for once, playing his mad scientist with surprising restraint, while Mark Ruffalo goes gloriously over-the-top as a pompous cad. His cringe-worthy English accent grated on me at first, but it grew into a perfect fit for his character’s absurdity.

    Be warned, though—this isn’t a film for everyone. The surgery scenes that bring Bella to life are downright gruesome (I’m the type who thinks "Ghostbusters" is scary, so take that as you will), and there’s a hefty dose of sex—more than you might expect. If that’s not your thing, you might want to sit this one out. But you’d be missing something extraordinary.

    At its heart, "Poor Things" is about innocence and exploration, peeling back layers of human nature. It challenges how we see the world, how we judge behavior, and how breaking free from those norms can feel both thrilling and unsettling. Oh, and it’s hilarious too—I was laughing out loud in the theater, often alone, which felt a bit odd. Comedy and emotion intertwine here in such a unique way; what tickled me might leave someone else puzzled or moved. That’s the beauty of it—everyone walks away with their own take.

    Summary:

    "Poor Things," directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, is a visually dazzling, surreal comedy that reimagines the Frankenstein story through Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), a reanimated woman rediscovering the world with childlike curiosity. Adapted from Alasdair Gray’s book, the film boasts stunning sets—like a fantastical Lisbon—brilliant performances (Stone, Willem Dafoe, and an over-the-top Mark Ruffalo), and a bold mix of humor, gore, and sex. It’s a thought-provoking exploration of innocence and societal norms, best experienced on the big screen, though not for the faint-hearted.

The movie’s script is adapted from Alasdair Gray’s novel, offering a quirky twist on the Frankenstein tale. It follows Bella, a reanimated creation of a mad doctor, as she embarks on a journey of rediscovery. Her wide-eyed wonder and insatiable curiosity propel the story forward, making her both endearing and fascinating. One standout moment for me was when Bella first hears music and instinctively starts to dance. Her unbridled joy was infectious, and the choreography—especially Mark Ruffalo’s goofy, galloping moves—was pure delight. The film’s surreal vibe is amplified by its over-the-top sets. Nothing feels remotely ordinary, and that bold, all-in approach works wonders. I was particularly smitten with the fantastical version of Lisbon, though the ship scenes were a close second—lavish and dreamlike in equal measure. Emma Stone’s portrayal of Bella Baxter is nothing short of phenomenal—she’s already nabbed a Golden Globe, and I’m rooting for her to snag an Oscar too. The entire cast shines, though. Willem Dafoe dials it back for once, playing his mad scientist with surprising restraint, while Mark Ruffalo goes gloriously over-the-top as a pompous cad. His cringe-worthy English accent grated on me at first, but it grew into a perfect fit for his character’s absurdity. Be warned, though—this isn’t a film for everyone. The surgery scenes that bring Bella to life are downright gruesome (I’m the type who thinks "Ghostbusters" is scary, so take that as you will), and there’s a hefty dose of sex—more than you might expect. If that’s not your thing, you might want to sit this one out. But you’d be missing something extraordinary. At its heart, "Poor Things" is about innocence and exploration, peeling back layers of human nature. It challenges how we see the world, how we judge behavior, and how breaking free from those norms can feel both thrilling and unsettling. Oh, and it’s hilarious too—I was laughing out loud in the theater, often alone, which felt a bit odd. Comedy and emotion intertwine here in such a unique way; what tickled me might leave someone else puzzled or moved. That’s the beauty of it—everyone walks away with their own take. Summary: "Poor Things," directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, is a visually dazzling, surreal comedy that reimagines the Frankenstein story through Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), a reanimated woman rediscovering the world with childlike curiosity. Adapted from Alasdair Gray’s book, the film boasts stunning sets—like a fantastical Lisbon—brilliant performances (Stone, Willem Dafoe, and an over-the-top Mark Ruffalo), and a bold mix of humor, gore, and sex. It’s a thought-provoking exploration of innocence and societal norms, best experienced on the big screen, though not for the faint-hearted. #poorthings #poorthingsmovie #poor #thinks #poorthinksonline #where to watch poor things movie #poor things movie review #poor things movie streaming #poor things movie poster
