Two short films were presented to the media in the PVR Director’s Cut recently. Actually, the purpose of this special show was to get feedback from the media about it by showing the film at the red carpet premiere. The first of these was ‘Pattern’, produced by Sandeep Kapoor and directed by Sachin Karande. ‘Pattern’ is the story of a boy who is bullied in school by children, but he forces the bullied children with his courage, hard work and mind to treat him like normal children.
At the same time, the second film ‘The Turban’ is based on the riots in East Delhi in 2020 when the CAA and NRC protests turned violent. Produced by Sandeep Kapoor and directed by Ravindra Siwach, the film explores the mindless violence of a frenzied mob. It has been shown in this film that how an innocent child is killed by terrorist rioters, but when the rioters come to know about his reality, they are also stunned.
‘Pattern’ touches on a very sensitive issue of teenage life. Producer Sandeep Kapoor and Director Sachin Karande have dealt with this sensitive subject in a very responsible manner. In both the films, Kartikeya Goel in the lead role has transcended his age and played his characters in a very positive way. He is involved in both the roles. Seeing him on screen, it is not known that this is his first film.
Producer Sandeep Kapoor, who has made films like ‘Jugaad’, ‘Anarkali Aara Wali’ and ‘Bhosale’, said that we are trying to release these films on theater and OTT platform, but before that we will send these films to the festival.

After winter, nature renews herself. We need to do the same. We need to change our winter skin care routine and look for beauty swaps that are right for spring. If your skin is normal to dry, start giving it daily toning, moisturizing and nourishing treatments. Since soap and water washing can cause further dryness, try a home remedy.
Just Me Rose Jasmine Moisturiser
For normal to dry skin, prepare a cleanser at home by mixing half a cup of milk with half teaspoon of any vegetable oil, like sesame seed (til) oil, or olive oil, or sunflower oil. Put the mixture in a bottle and shake well. Wipe your skin with this, using cotton wool and keep the remainder in the refrigerator for the next 2 or 3 days.
Use green tea to tone the skin. Put a green tea bag in hot water. Cool and use the liquid to tone the skin. Or use rose water.
Instead of using rich nourishing and moisturizing creams, mix together 1 ripe avocado, with one teaspoon each olive oil, curd and honey. Apply on the face and leave on for 20 to 30 minutes. Wash off.
Neem Reyhdrant LotionShamoon – Sandalwood Cleansing Milk 100 mlHoney
Mix half a teaspoon of honey with egg white and one teaspoon of dried milk powder. Mix into a paste and apply on the face. Wash after 20 minutes with plain water.
For normal to oily and combination skin, mix a few drops of glycerin with one teaspoon each of rose water and curd; apply regularly on the face to relieve dryness and beautify the skin. Wash off after 20 minutes.
To remove tan, mix cucumber juice with two teaspoons of yogurt and a pinch of turmeric. Apply on the face and wash off after 20 minutes.
Mix one teaspoon each of vinegar and honey with one egg. Beat
them together well. Massage the mixture lightly into hair and scalp. Then wrap the hair in a hot towel for twenty minutes, before washing the hair. Your hair will have more body and look shiny and manageable.
To add shine to the hair, whisk egg white with the juice of a lemon and apply on the hair half an hour before your shampoo.
For glowing skin, mix grated apples with ripe papaya pulp, mashed banana and curd. Apply it on the face and leave it on for half an hour. Wash off with plain water.
A few days of care and your skin and hair will recover from the assault of winter weather.

Visit these cities and towns with thriving wine scenes far from the state’s famous vineyards.
As more wineries set up shop in cities and towns around the state, California is redefining the wine tasting experience. While there’s still nothing quite like driving wine country backroads to discover varietals at the source, the concentration of vintners in cities and along urban wine trails is a convenient way to discover the diversity of Golden State wines without having to travel far afield. In many cases, you can stroll between tasting rooms without a car while you discover boutique wineries. Here’s an introduction to California’s urban wine hubs, listed south to north.
Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail
With more than 30 wineries in downtown Santa Barbara, the city’s happening Funk Zone, and in such nearby communities as Summerland and Montecito, the Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trailis a great introduction to the diversity of county winemaking. You’ll find everything from the acclaimed Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays of celebrated winemaker Jim Clendenden’s Au Bon Climat to Cabernet Francs and Malbecs, varietals known for thriving in hot weather, at The Valley Project.
Carmel-by-the-Sea
Along with its storybook cottages and pristine white-sand beaches, Carmel has emerged as a walkable destination for oenophiles seeking the wines of Monterey County. Many of its tasting rooms are clustered within a few blocks of one another, along or near downtown’s 7th Avenue, and all have outdoor seating; a map of them is available at the Carmel Visitor Center.
San Francisco
Even though you won’t find acres of rolling vineyards in the city, San Francisco is definitely wine country, thanks to the numerous winemakers who operate here. Taking advantage of the outstanding grapes available from the nearby Napa, Sonoma, and Russian River valleys, the city’s vintners have revived a winemaking tradition that thrived in the city before the great earthquake and fire of 1906. There are even several wineries on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay, including The Winery SF, where you can taste on a waterfront deck and patio.
Downtown Napa
Everyone knows that Napa Valley produces some of the world’s finest wine. But even people familiar with the valley may not realize that there’s a flourishing wine scene in the region’s biggest community, the city of Napa. With a revitalized downtown and riverfront, Napa is home to the Vintner’s Collective, where you’ll find a changing selection of wines from 25 boutique producers in an 1875 stone building once used as a brothel and saloon. Next to the Oxbow Public Market, a great place for local artisanal foods and to browse for area wines at the Oxbow Cheese and Wine Merchant, the relaxed, contemporary tasting room for Mark Herold Wines pours a selection of the winemaker’s celebrated Cabernet Sauvignons.
Sonoma
Ideal for a day of car-free winetasting, the town of Sonoma combines a long winemaking heritage with an expanding selection of tasting rooms in and around its historic plaza. Check out Vine Alley on the south side of the plaza, where you’ll find cool climate Sonoma County wines in the rustic contemporary tasting room at the Chappellet Grower Collection. In a beautifully restored building on the square with exposed stone walls and hand-sawed beams, the architecture at Pangloss Cellars pairs perfectly with winemaker Erich Bradley’s melding of Old World and minimalist approaches to his small-batch wines.
Downtown Los Angeles
In 1833, Frenchman Jean-Louis Vignes established El Aliso winery in Los Angeles, and by 1870, the city had emerged as the center for both California and American winemaking. Since 1917, the Riboli family has operated the winery on Lamar Street, where it produces wines with grapes grown on estate vineyards in Napa, Monterey County, and Paso Robles. In 2019, San Antonio Winery was joined downtown by the Angeleno Wine Company, which sources grapes from local, family-owned vineyards where organic and sustainable viticulture is practiced.
San Diego
Sprawling San Diego County has numerous wine destinations that, aside from the very fine vintages produced and sold, also distinguish themselves as being sustainability-minded. Ramona Ranch Vineyard and Winery was the county’s first to be designated Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing thanks in part to its wind-and solar-powered systems, and the entirely self-sustainable Hungry Hawk Vineyards and Winery practices minimalist and sustainable farming on its 10-acre property. For a more urban San Diego tasting-room experience, drop by Quigley Fine Wines, a few blocks north of downtown San Diego, for offerings from winemakers who use biodynamic and organic methods of producing wine.

Arata, introduces its most innovative hair care range yet – The Advanced Curl Care range. Featuring eight innovative and aspirational products exclusively created for the curly haired community. This hair care range is being launched with powerhouse performer and Arata’s CurlFriend – Taapsee Pannu!
Around 60% of the world’s population has either curly or wavy hair and the lack of any Indian celebrity endorsements for this community is surprising. Not many Indian personal care brands have catered specifically to the needs of the curly haired community. This is where Arata and Taapsee come together.
Widely known as bold, fierce, and fearless – Taapsee embodies Arata’s curl care philosophy, flipping the narrative that censors curlies, the thought process that mandates curly hair to be “in place”. The Bollywood actor embraces her wild, beautiful, untamed curls and has smashed traditional beauty standards along her journey, inspiring others to do the same.
The Advanced Curl Care Range aims to show curlies all around what frizzy, rebellious, spiraling curls are capable of bouncing into – when nourished with unadulterated, plant-powered love.
“Conventional beauty standards are not only restrictive, but they also fail to elevate diversity. The very idea that beauty is defined by a set of adjectives – Straight Hair, Tall, Slender, Fair, etc. is harmful and excludes most of us who don’t fit the norm. It’s about time we let go of these traditional beauty standards that we’ve tried to live up to all this time. My curly hair is my identity and I proudly wear it as a crown (pun intended). For me, having this curly hair representation – whether on-screen or with the brands I choose to work with, is highly important. I support Arata’s clean, toxin-free approach to personal care and personally vouch for the new Advanced Curl Care Hair Gel that leaves my hair intensely moisturized and lusciously defined.” – Taapsee Pannu
“We love how authentic Taapsee is and how she embraces her curls in their true form. We’re delighted to have her on board as Arata’s CurlFriend – someone who advocates for our brand and our new collection’s ethos, in the most befitting manner.” – Dhruv Madhok and Dhruv Bhasin, Founder – Arata.
The Advanced Curl Care Range includes the following plant-based products, formulated for all curl types:
