Namma Kambala

The anticipated Kambala buffalo racing event, typically rooted in the coastal Karnataka region, is poised to enchant Bengaluru’s urban landscape this coming weekend.
Set against the backdrop of the southwest monsoon’s aftermath, this cherished traditional folk sport will unfold its excitement at the renowned Palace Grounds on November 25 and 26, courtesy of Tulukoota Bengaluru.
It marks the inaugural occurrence of Kambala within Bengaluru’s core, as teams from the coastal Karnataka area gear up to partake in this urban adaptation.

This event pledges to infuse the vivacious essence of this age-old sport into Bengaluru’s bustling cityscape, harmonizing tradition with modernity seamlessly.
The term “Kambala” traces its origins to ‘kampa-kala,’ where ‘kampa’ associates with a sludgy, muddy field—the very arena where the action unfolds.
The Dravidian roots of “Kampa” stem from the fusion of ‘kan’ and ‘pa,’ while ‘kala’ signifies the domain where the spectacle occurs. An alternative interpretation links Kambala to ‘Kamba,’ a pole employed for spurting water during the buffalo pairs’ race. Kambala epitomizes a sport where whiplash-wielding farmers propel buffaloes across slushy paddy fields.
Initially, Kambala was non-competitive, featuring pairs running sequentially. However, its modern rendition involves contests between two pairs of buffaloes, fostering a more competitive spirit.

Anahat Singh

In a remarkable turn of events at the Senior National Squash Championships 2023, 15-year-old Anahat Singh scripted history by becoming the second youngest title winner in the tournament’s prestigious history.
Joshna Chinappa was 14 when she won the first of her 19 titles in 2000.

Anahat’s victory marked a historic moment, as she triumphed against her opponent who is 12 years her senior.
The championship match witnessed a gripping battle between the generations, with Anahat initially losing the opener 9-11.
However, she showcased her resilience in the second game, leading 6-4 before Khanna’s untimely injury.
Velevan Senthilkumar From Tamil Nadu Won The Senior National Squash Championships 2023 In Men’s Category.

Mysterious Pneumonia Outbreak In China

Health officials in China are currently investigating a surge in cases of an unidentified illness, particularly affecting children who are being hospitalized with pneumonia.

While the situation remains unclear, initial assessments suggest that these outbreaks may be linked to a resurgence of common respiratory pathogens following strict coronavirus lockdowns, rather than the emergence of a new infection.
Pneumonia is a broad term referring to lung inflammation, typically caused by infections.
Common symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, fever, and chest pain.

While most individuals recover within weeks, vulnerable populations such as infants, older adults, and those with specific health conditions may require hospitalization.

The three-day event will have more than 30 insightful sessions which will be addressed by eminent speakers including the Gujarat State Minister of Education Praful Pansheriya, Chairman Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India Debashis Panda, among others.

Stars Asian International Film Festival

Ishwak Singh won the Best Actor award at the Stars Asian International Film Festival (SAIFF) for his performance in the film ‘Berlin,’ serving as a testament to the universal appeal of his work and highlighting not only his exceptional talent but also his dedication to his craft.
The film “Berlin” has not only gained acclaim for Ishwak Singh’s outstanding portrayal but has also enjoyed successful screenings at several film festivals, such as the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles and Jio MAMI 2023.

Exploring his character in the award winning film ‘Berlin,’ the 34-year-old actor discusses the complexities of portraying a deaf individual.
