New Delhi [India], August 5: Books always serve as a great source of inspiration because of the words of those who author the books. It is the weight of emotions carried by words or the ocean of ideas presented as knowledge inside the books that motivates the reader to keep reading. It is the mind of the author that aims to inspire the life of the reader so that they can set-out on a journey of self-transformation through the characters, plot, story, vivid aesthetics, or literary work presented inside the book. This is the art of communication, which awakens the inner intuition, charisma, imagination and curiosity of the reader to develop a deep emotional connection with the subject of the author.

A good book may be a man’s best friend but according to a recent mental health survey 7 out of 10 randomly chosen people in the world between the age group of 10 yrs – 40 yrs are losing their intellectual sense as they rarely ever become interested in sort of reading, analysis or cognitive interaction with others. Most people who were surveyed liked to believe the word of mouth of another for a product, method or process without any cross-questioning. The losing cognitive function in teenagers and adults certainly signals how artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining power on everyday basis in capturing the mind and attention of every human being on earth. The true power of AI or generative AI doesn’t comes from the amount of data it can process from all the internet servers around the world rather one simple function, that is, it is capable of delivering data in a very structural, methodological, well-organized and well-formatted manner using measured responses as its outcome. It is this artistic, creative, imaginative function of generative AI capable of generating aesthetically appealing portraits, animations and motion videos is capturing the mind and senses of human beings. This is science of communication, which is systematic, measurable, research-driven and evidence-based backed by data, information, presentation style, clarity, focus and consistency.

Mastering the art & science of communication requires a holistic approach on how we tend to use language, information, knowledge and data to convey or share our ideas clearly and confidently with others. Er. Mandeep Singh is a passionate academic writer and talented communication skills coach who started his journey 15-years-ago as R&D research scientist in education but his career slowly progressed into academic skills training and coaching. He has authored two publications namely, “Fundamental Skills in Scientific Communication” and “Textbook on English Grammar and Communication” both addressing the skills aptitude required for effective communication in academics, science, engineering, medicine & technology. The philosophy of his textbooks focuses on improving cognitive learning behaviour among students by inculcating a rational and scientific approach towards learning. His books aims at acquiring language skills for retaining vocabulary and technical context as well as stress on the importance of visual aesthetics, presentation style and delivery for effective communication practices. His books reflect his creative thought process and innovative approach for coaching core academic concepts using the rules of language as a medium of building cognitive memory as well as communicating ideas with others. In a crux, his books focus on language and vocabulary training for improving communication skills, teaching skills as well as enhancing skills for scientific research & communication. His new identity as a self-published author really inspires him to write more and contribute more to the field of education.

Every human being has a mind of its own but the larger question still remains whether humans in the future will trust own emotions & instincts or whether they would be blind-folded by what AI chat-bots are telling them on how a person should be feeling in any situation or circumstance. The fear of AI is definitely over mongering but this perspective doesn’t change the very basis of our human nature that we are all governed by biological processes rather algorithms. Our collective consciousness that forms a part of our cognitive mind is like an algorithm which can be regulated, controlled and trained. It’s like reading books and study-guides, which is important for our personal growth and memory enhancement. Reading also helps in treating psychological disorders like insomnia, depression, anxiety and emotional upsetting. Reading is important because even generative AI like ChatGPT needs an intelligent prompt to respond and ultimately it generates a large amount of data for reading only. We must motivate our children to read and nurture them with emotional values of love, care, brotherhood and perseverance so that they can adopt a positive attitude towards family, friends, society and country to become responsible citizens of the future.

Streax Professional Hairstyle Icon of the Year winner Priyanka Sinha reflected on her artistry through hairstyling: “Hair is an extension of who we are. Each challenge allowed me to explore and present my creativity. This title is recognition of that expression and vision.”

She furthered her passion by pursuing a Bachelor of Mass Media (BMM) degree from Rizvi College, where her winning streak continued with titles such as The Queen of Rizvi and The Face of Queen Rizvi.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 4: Amruta Rao, a name synonymous with grace, grit, and excellence, has once again proven that true passion and perseverance never go unnoticed. A revered face in Indian households as a newsreader from 1979 to 2004, Amruta witnessed the transformation of Indian television from its black-and-white roots to the vibrant digital era we see today. Now, she has made an extraordinary mark in Indian cinema, winning the Best Marathi Feature Film at the 2023 National Film Awards for her soul-stirring production Shyamchi Aai.She holds an MSc and an LLB, reflecting a strong academic foundation in both science and law.

With a career spanning four decades, Amruta has always followed her creative instincts. Known for her integrity, aesthetic sensibility, and hands-on approach, she has been a powerful force in the Marathi film industry — both respected and admired for her artistry and professionalism.

Shyamchi Aai, based on the revered autobiographical novel by freedom fighter Sane Guruji, is a heartfelt tribute to motherhood and the moral fabric of India. It wasn’t just another project for Amruta — it was her mission, her calling. And deep within, she knew the film was destined for greatness.

“I had no doubt this film would receive a National Award,” says Amruta Rao. “I gave it everything — emotionally, physically, creatively. Every decision, every detail, every shot had to reflect the dignity of Sane Guruji’s words.”

To bring the early 20th-century Konkan region alive on screen, Amruta personally scouted a 200-year-old heritage home, removed every trace of modernity, and restored it to reflect the era. From antique cars, rare coastal locations, and vintage boats to even ensuring that the actors shaved their heads to maintain authenticity, Amruta left no stone unturned. Every chulha, every vessel, and every costume was meticulously chosen under her watchful eye.

“Today, vintage props are hard to come by and expensive,” she explains. “But I was unwavering. This story deserved to be told with reverence and detail.”

Amruta brings not only a legacy of broadcasting excellence but also an innate understanding of India’s emotional and cultural pulse. She has nurtured Marathi films like Phulrani, Haa Mee Maratha, and Manini with the same passion and now continues to share her journey with audiences through her YouTube channel, offering behind-the-scenes reflections on cinema, life, and art.

Shyamchi Aai is more than a National Award-winning film. It’s a testament to a woman who has seen the evolution of storytelling, who has stood at the crossroads of media and cinema, and chosen to follow her heart with remarkable results.

New Delhi [India], August 2: A new kind of league is on the horizon. Entrepreneur Sandeep Nanda is bringing a grand, never-before-seen fashion league to India — one that promises to blend the glamour of couture with the adrenaline of competition. Known for once soaring high in the aviation industry, Nanda is no stranger to glitz and innovation. His journey began with the entertainment revolution in India as part of the founding team at Radio Mirchi, where he helped shape FM radio in North India. That experience gave him a masterclass in mass communication, pop culture, and audience psychology.

Now, he’s channelling all that learning into launching the Indian Fashion Glamour League (IFGL) — a league as ambitious, high-energy, and fan-driven as the most significant global sporting events. Nanda explains, “Why should sports have all the leagues? Why not fashion? Why not creativity?”

Backed by his India-Canada venture, Xmaxx Studios Pvt Ltd, the Indian Fashion Glamour League is no longer just an idea — it’s a full-fledged, multi-million-dollar entertainment property in the making.

The concept is simple, yet revolutionary. Much like the Indian Premier League (IPL), IFGL will feature city-based teams — such as Delhi Divas, Mumbai Marigold, Punjabi Patakas — and even some international squads like Dubai Dazzlers and European Elites. Each team will be owned by celebrities or entrepreneurs and consist of models, stylists, designers, and digital influencers. These teams will compete weekly in fashion face-offs judged by experts and voted on by audiences, both on live stages and OTT platforms.

“It’s fashion meets Formula 1. It’s styling meets strategy. And it’s time the world saw Indian creativity in a league format,” says Nanda.

At Xmaxx Studios, the motto is “Ideas Become IP.” With offices in Delhi and Vancouver, Nanda’s vision for IFGL is to create India’s answer to K-pop, Formula 1, and the Met Gala — all rolled into one dynamic league, driven by format, fandom, and fire. “IFGL isn’t just about fabric. It’s about identity. It’s not about walking the ramp — it’s about owning your space on it,” he adds.

The league will feature live auctions to select stylists and creators, echoing the IPL’s cricketer bidding process — complete with contracts, bidding wars, and team dynamics. The season will unfold episode by episode, with fierce fashion battles judged by top industry names and audience votes. Designed as a digital-first, immersive experience, IFGL will span OTT screens to red carpets, merging entertainment with innovation.

“This is for those who don’t just watch culture — they build it. For investors, celebrities, and brands who know where the next wave is,” Nanda says.

Each team will come with a 10-year license, revenue-sharing models, and IP branding rights — a business opportunity wrapped in designer packaging. Season One’s auction is slated for late 2025 in Mumbai. The stage is set. The teams are forming. And the world is watching.

From Vancouver to Vogue, Sandeep Nanda isn’t just building a league — he’s scripting a cultural landmark. And this time, India isn’t just participating in the global entertainment game — it’s setting the rules.
