Speaking on the occasion Sri Ajay Mishra said, Social media is a powerful tool for personal and professional growth, but balance is key. It’s easy to get caught up in endless scrolling, which can become counterproductive. My advice is to limit your social media time to between dinner and breakfast. During the day, focus on real-world interactions, talk, connect, and engage with the people around you. The current generation is often glued to their screens, missing out on valuable face-to-face conversations. Let’s aim for a healthier balance: social media at night, meaningful conversations during the day.

The Telangana Icon Awards Season 2 – 2024 is not only a platform for recognizing talent but also a gathering that brings together the entertainment industry and fans alike to witness the magic of creativity and excellence, says Abdul Muid, Founder, Global Bloggers Community & Telangana Bloggers Community. The mission of Telangana Bloggers is to elevate our community’s presence on the global stage and establish us as the most trusted and authentic source of information. Together, we aim to showcase the talent and credibility of Telangana’s bloggers, setting new standards in the worldwide blogging community, he added.

Kawaljit Singh, Sr. Launch Director, BNI Hyderabad; said, in today’s business world, your network is your net worth. We often feel like we know everyone in Hyderabad, but step into any business forum, and you’ll find many unfamiliar faces. The key to growing your business is having others know you and what you do. One of the biggest challenges for business owners is sourcing new clients. Hiring a sales team is often too expensive with uncertain results. This is where BNI, the world’s largest business networking and referral organization, comes in. It connects business owners, allowing them to leverage each other’s networks to generate referrals and grow together.

Janab Mohd Khaleequr Rahman said, this is the age of the bloggers, the advent of social media especially Instagram, Facebook, YouTube brought about a revolution and brought forward a generation of influencers and bloggers. AI has only enhanced this breed of inspirers and motivators. One of the most pressing issues that needs your expertise in raising mass awareness is the devastating loss of lives due to road accidents. Both Cricketer Azharuddin and I tragically lost our sons in such accidents, and we are committed to preventing others from enduring the same heartache. It’s crucial to raise awareness about the dangers of rash driving, and the tragic consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. We are not here just to make money and live in luxury, we have a responsibility toward our society and fellow human beings. Every year, we lose 1.5 lakh people to road accidents, with many more left permanently disabled, becoming a burden on themselves, their families, and society. This problem demands urgent attention, and we urge Telangana Bloggers, as a prestigious platform, to help sensitize society on this critical issue and drive meaningful change.

Janab Tariq Ansari said, Bloggers are doing incredible work, and I urge you to use the platform for an even greater cause. Let’s raise social awareness together by running impactful campaigns on critical issues like women’s safety, their education, environmental protection, and other challenges plaguing our society. Your voice has the power to inspire change, let’s use it to make a difference.

Biker with a Golden Voice: Badshah Calls Ipsit Pati ‘Suron Ka Striker’ After Stellar Indian Idol Performance

India’s biggest singing reality show, Indian Idol, is back for a highly anticipated Season 15 on Sony Entertainment Television! With auditions kicking off, the spotlight is on the contestants who must showcase their talent to achieve once-in-a-lifetime opportunities on and beyond this coveted stage. On the hunt for extraordinary voices and compelling stories, this season’s judges’ panel features much-loved rapper Badshah, the soulful Shreya Ghoshal, and the acclaimed composer/ performer Vishal Dadlani. Together, they are on the lookout for India’s next singing sensations.

Among many standout contestants is Bhubaneswar’s Ipsit Pati, a travel vlogger and a devout follower of Lord Shiva. Ipsit embarked on a spiritual and adventurous journey from Bhubaneswar to Trimbakeshwar, and then onward to Mumbai for his audition. During a heartfelt conversation before his performance, Ipsit bonded with Vishal Dadlani over their shared passion for biking. Vishal fondly recalled his early biking days, while Ipsit revealed that his vlog, documenting his spiritual journey remains incomplete, awaiting a final chapter.

Ipsit’s singing prowess stunned the judges as he performed a soulful rendition of ‘Kaise Hua’ from the movie ‘Kabir Singh.’ His performance captivated the room, leaving the judges in awe of his emotive voice.

Badshah was especially impressed and said, “When you sang, it felt like it was your own song. You made it completely yours. This happens to be one of my favourite songs, and you delivered it perfectly.” He playfully added, “Kehne ko hai biker, lekin hai ‘Suron ka Striker.’”

Shreya Ghoshal also expressed her admiration, admitting, “I thought you were more of an adventurer, with music as a side passion. But your voice is your true identity. You connected with the song so deeply, and that emotion came through in every note. You are not the voice of any hero, your voice is the real hero.”

Vishal Dadlani paid him the biggest compliment, saying, “I used to be a biker too, and now I’m thinking, after this, you won’t be doing bike tours but singing tours instead! Your voice cuts through with such power, and you truly made Kaise Hua your own. I guess my dream of a bike trip with you will have to wait until after Indian Idol.”

7th October 2024 marks a significant day for the citizens of Mumbai as Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated the city’s landmark infrastructure project — the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) to Aarey stretch of Mumbai Metro Line 3.

As the city gears up to commute on this new metro route, leading telecom operator Vi announced the successful completion of its network deployment across the entire underground stretch.

Marini makes the points, Mir taken out as Japanese GP concludes

Japan, October 07, 2024: An ultimately complicated weekend at Mobility Resort Motegi for the Repsol Honda Team, Luca Marini recovering to 14th while Joan Mir’s hopes were dashed on the first lap.

The pattern of the Japanese GP weekend continued in almost every aspect as the Repsol Honda Team battled ever-changing conditions and fortunes, working constantly to take the most from every situation before them. A brief shower during the Moto2 race, and even the white flag being shown during the MotoGP race, had some questioning if wet bikes would be needed but ultimately the entirety of the 24-lap race was run on slicks.

A trademark determined performance from Luca Marini saw the #10 climb his way through the field after a complicated start to his race. Initially dropping back, a steady string of laps saw Marini gain ground on the likes of Rins and Fernandez as he moved into the points. Crossing the line in 14th, Marini adds to his 2024 points haul and achieves satisfaction from a positive end to a weekend earmarked to be troublesome. More data and more progress as he and the Repsol Honda Team continue their confidence building end to the year.

Joan Mir’s race was an unfortunately short-lived affair once again. A strong start had him in 14th after just half a lap and Mir was primed to battle with the top ten until he was hit from behind by Alex Marquez and fell. Escaping injury, Mir leaves Japan disappointed after such promise early in the weekend.

After three races in a row, the Repsol Honda Team now prepare for a well-earned one week break before another run of three races. The action resumes on October 18th in Phillip Island, the majestic circuit hosting the Australian GP once again.

Luca Marini (14th)

“In the back there are always great battles and I was able to enjoy it today! On the first lap I lost quite a lot of time and a lot of positions, so it was a race of recovery. We knew from the start of the weekend that it was going to be difficult, so I think with a P13 and a P14 today that we have achieved something good. I think my rear tyre choice could have been better, so maybe we could have gained something there. But anyway, we learn and will be more prepared next year. Now we have a bit of rest and recover before another big three races.”

Joan Mir (DNF)

“At Turn 11 I overtook Alex Marquez after he went wide, then in Turn 12 he made contact with the rear of my bike, his bike became stuck between my seat and the wheel so I had to run on and crashed. It’s a shame because I was going really well in that first lap of the race and the pace we showed yesterday in the Sprint, something good was possible.”

Apollo Trauma Masterclass shares insights into trauma care, latest approaches

07th October 2024, Ahmedabad: The Apollo Trauma Masterclass 2024, organised by Apollo Hospitals Ahmedabad, brought together leading experts in trauma care to address critical issues, share insights and discuss cutting-edge approaches to improving trauma management and emergency response.

India faces a staggering trauma burden, with one trauma-related death occurring every 1.9 minutes. Road accident injuries are the leading cause of these deaths. Despite having just 1% of the world’s motorised vehicles, India contributes 11% of the world’s automobile accidents. The World Bank estimates there are around 4.5 lakh road accidents in India per year, resulting in 1.5 lakh deaths. In this situation, timely trauma care is of utmost criticality.

Mr. Neeraj Lal, COO, Apollo Hospitals Ahmedabad, said, “Timely treatment can be the difference between life and death for trauma victims. It is important that medical professionals across the board are equipped to act at short notice to save lives. The Apollo Trauma Masterclass aimed to share the latest insights and approaches into trauma care that can save lives with the participants.”

The concept of the golden hour, i.e. the first 60 minutes following a traumatic injury, was a key focus of the masterclass. Experts highlighted that immediate medical intervention within this timeframe significantly improves survival rates in trauma cases.

Dr. Sanjay Shah, Senior Consultant Trauma Surgeon and Head of the Emergency Department at Apollo Hospitals Ahmedabad, said, “The management of severely injured patients remains a challenge, especially in a high volume trauma country like ours. At Apollo, we follow gold-standard protocols for trauma care that include airway protection, rapid haemorrhage control, critical cavity decompression, early stabilisation of fractures and intensive monitoring of vital organs. The Apollo Trauma Masterclass is designed to reinforce these practices and ensure consistency in delivering world-class trauma care.”

Sharing more on how Apollo Hospitals Ahmedabad is improving trauma care outcomes, Dr. Piyasha Nath Sen, Joint Medical Director, Apollo Hospitals, Ahmedabad said “ At Apollo Hospitals Ahmedabad we follow comprehensive connected care services for trauma care. We have the best trauma surgeons in our facility who can perform cutting edge procedures”.

The Apollo Trauma Masterclass, organised on Saturday and Sunday, also provided a detailed overview of the different levels of trauma centres. Level 1 trauma centres, like Apollo Hospitals Ahmedabad, provide the most comprehensive care for complex injuries. They have emergency physicians, nurses, and surgeons available 24/7, including all major subspecialty services with academics. Level II trauma centres provide definitive care for severe trauma patients.
