With his debut novel ‘The Other Side of the Rainbow’ published recently, Niranjan Nayak, an English professor at Puri’s SCS College, embarks on a transformative journey — from the routine life of an academic to the exciting life of a writer. The novel is about a friend’s loving recall of a friendship formed at the college of their dreams a long time ago, a friendship that was cut short by a cruel stroke of fate. The novel transports the reader back to that past in an effort to comprehend what appeared incomprehensible to the actors themselves. A steady and unrelenting focus on the thought processes, delineated through two ‘I’ narrations, Arun’s and Rajiv’s that alternate with each other, lifts the novel from the plane of a light-hearted campus novel to a serious engagement with the labyrinthine alleyways of the mind. The verse with which the prologue opens sets the stage for the excavation of the past. Not an easy task given the failure, as the verse tells us, to see the ‘invisible me’, to hear the ‘tumult in a silent zone.’ The second metaphor is close to George Eliot’s ‘roar which lies on the other side of silence’, suggesting the rationale for the novel’s title, ‘The other side of the rainbow’. To say what cannot be said with the words that the polite society has handed to us and to peek into the abyss is the forte of three categories of truth tellers — the fictionist, the philosopher and the psychologist. But to do these two seemingly impossible tasks of speaking and looking against the grain while not abandoning the grain itself, is the province and forte of the fictionist alone. It involves the writer in fracturing syntax, in forcing words beyond and against their conventional meanings. Nayak doesn’t fracture syntax, but he does the latter in ample measure through his resort to paradox, oxymoron and conundrum. For Arun, beginning and end merge. For Rajiv, destination is not destiny. ‘Life’, said Bertrand Russell, ‘is an uneasy awakening between two sleeps.’ Arun and Rajiv, the two protagonists of Nayak’s tale and those of us who are among their auditors, would tend to agree. They themselves speak in paradoxes and conundrums. Arun and Rajiv are ordinary students who become friends during their four-year residence at Ravenshaw College. One of them – Arun, the son of a ‘pakodawala’ — comes of a dirt-poor family and the other – Rajiv – just a notch above, namely a lower middle class family. Though they share a bond, they seem headed in different, almost opposite, directions. This is thanks as much to their differing social backgrounds as to their different psychological orientations. Arun wants to flee his fatherless and shelter home-ridden past, good grades in examination his only vehicle. Rajiv wants to flee a father-dominated oppressive present, with alcohol as his prop. Arun is mother-fixated and Rajiv is caught in a bitter oedipal struggle. The fact of Arun being intellectually gifted and Rajiv being lackadaisical goes into the mix as well, making them the perfect unlike poles that attract rather than repel. The excruciating tale that the novel tells takes shape from the sweetness of their intertwined lives and the bitterness of their interrupted friendship, with two potentially romantic entanglements — Arun’s with Ruby and Rajiv’s with Saswati, threatening to derail it. Arun’s unrequited feelings for Ruby, a girl his social superior, complicates their friendship, bringing into it a deficit of trust and openness. Rajiv’s words capture the fraught relations quite well: ‘We were three hands of a queer structure that looked like a triangle that didn’t have any corner or meeting point’ (p. 173). Rajiv too cannot bring himself to love Saswati. It takes its toll on both, but more cruelly on Arun. It is painful to read the climax revealingly given the name: ‘A Tree Sheds Its Leaf.’ Does the setting of Ravenshaw College play a part in this sad human drama? Or is it only a mute backcloth? Nayak is clearly not writing a novel to document Ravewnshaw College. But his novel darkly hints at how the lives of its young population are warped by academic competitiveness and snobbery related to status. Arun’s breakdown is ultimately caused by his dark and brooding disposition. But it is exacerbated by family expectations and an uncaring environment, making for a potentially tragic tale. Rajiv survives to not only tell the story of wasted opportunities, broken dreams and shattered hopes but also to give his life some closure by revisiting Arun’s village after thirty years. His chance meeting with Saswati also helps him to heal. Thus a melancholic and disturbing tale is turned into a redemptive one of losing and finding. The novel is a gripping read. (Himansu S.

The beloved actor known for roles in "The Golden Girls," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Boston Legal" and others will be on a 2025 Forever stamp, USPS announced this past week. White died in late December 2021 , less than three weeks before her 100th birthday. The Postal Service hasn't announced a release date for the stamp. Betty White speaks Sept. 17, 2018, at the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. “An icon of American television, Betty White (1922–2021) shared her wit and warmth with viewers for seven decades,” the Postal Service said in announcing the stamp, which depicts a smiling White based on a 2010 photograph by celebrity photographer Kwaku Alston . “The comedic actor, who gained younger generations of fans as she entered her 90s, was also revered as a compassionate advocate for animals.” People are also reading... Boston-based artist Dale Stephanos created the digital illustration from Alston's photo. "I'd love to send a letter back to my 18-year-old self with this stamp on it and tell him that everything is going to be OK," Stephanos posted on Facebook . USPS wants stamp prices to rise 5 times over the next 3 years Regardless of personal politics, self-proclaimed supporters of Republican President-elect Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris reacted with delight on social media. "Betty White was my hero, all of my life! I actually had a doll when I was a little girl I named Betty White," one Trump supporter posted on X , formerly Twitter. “Something to make this awful week a little better: We’re getting a Betty White stamp,” a pro-Harris X account posted. White combined a wholesome image with a flare for bawdy jokes . Her television career began in the early 1950s and exploded as she aged. “The only SNL host I ever saw get a standing ovation at the after party," Seth Meyers posted on Twitter after her death. "A party at which she ordered a vodka and a hotdog and stayed til the bitter end.” Photos: Remembering Betty White (1922-2021) Allen Ludden and his wife Betty White, who love to play games, continue a two year gin rummy battle in which she's ahead by a cumulative 6,000 points in Westchester, N.Y. on April 29, 1965.

(AP) — Joseph Pinion had 22 points and eight rebounds, Dyondre Dominguez added 19 points and Arkansas State built a double-digit first-half lead to beat No. 16 Memphis 85-72 on Sunday. Pinion was 7 of 13 from the floor and 5 of 11 from outside the arc, giving the Red Wolves their second straight win and their first over a ranked team since 1991. Taryn Todd finished with 17 points for Arkansas State (7-3). PJ Haggerty led Memphis (7-2) with 29 points, and Dain Dainja finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Arkansas State held a double-digit lead for most of the game and led 68-57 with 8 minutes left. That was enough for the Red Wolves to defeat the Tigers, snapping a seven-game losing streak to Memphis. Arkansas State: The Red Wolves certainly got the nationally ranked Tigers' attention in the first half after they shot 7 of 18 from 3-point range and built an 18-point lead. The lead got to single digits a couple of times in the second half, but Arkansas State answered the pressure. Memphis: The Tigers suffered through a miserable first half, shooting under 20% late in the half. They turned up their defensive pressure, which cut into the lead, but Memphis never made a serious threat. Memphis got within 60-53 with 11 minutes left, but Arkansas State went on a 12-6 run that included 3-pointers from Pinion, Todd and Kobe Julien to stretch the Red Wolves' lead to 75-60 with 6:29 left in the game. Arkansas State's last win over a ranked team was when it defeated then-No. 21 New Orleans 76-65 in 1991. Arkansas State hosts UT-Arlington on Thursday, and Memphis travels to Clemson on Saturday.

Winnipeg 4, Chicago 2Psychology will play a crucial role in World Chess Championship 2024: Viswanathan AnandThe New Orleans Saints look like bandits in a way after some recent injury news came to the surface in the NFC. Marshon Lattimore 's injury Since being traded to the Washington Commanders , Lattimore has not played a single down for the NFC East foe. Washington has continued to see some success, but their defense would undoubtedly improve with him on the field. The Commanders just ruled out Lattimore for Week 12 as well. Dan Quinn says Marshon Lattimore won't play Sunday. Quinn says he's optimistic Lattimore could play against the #Titans in a week. He says the bye in 2 weeks won't determine when Lattimore plays. If he's ready before the bye, he'll play. Here's Lattimore at practice today @wusa9 pic.twitter.com/HDsRESOOui Lattimore has been dealing with a hamstring injury for a bulk of this season. It caused him to miss time in New Orleans, and now, it is affecting his availability for Dan Quinn's defense. The Saints got some backlash at the deadline for not garnering a second round pick for the top-flight CB. In reality, garnering a third round pick and day three draft stock was a win for the Saints in the long run. Lattimore had a great career in New Orleans, but injuries have mounted for him in recent seasons, including 2024. Without him, their secondary has still played fairly well since he was dealt away. Lattimore played in just seventeen games combined between the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 season. Before 2022, the CB was had played in at least thirteen games in every season of his NFL career. For the Saints, we will see how they choose to address the CB position during this offseason. They have a lot of faith in young CB Alontae Taylor, but his time playing outside has not been consistent. He was playing in the slot until Lattimore was traded away. Rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry also has plenty of fans in the organization. Drafting a cornerback early in the 2025 NFL Draft could make sense, too, though. Regardless, the value that the Saints got in return for Lattimore looks pretty impressive, considering his lack of availability that continues to grow in Washington.

Valley schools giving students innovative, unprecedented learning experiencesFollowing much speculation, Love Island star Maura Higgins has entered the I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here jungle and viewers are delighted. The Longford native was one of the first rumoured celebrities to participate in the show but threw fans off the scent when she enjoyed a trip to Las Vegas last week. Viewers were ‘ furious ‘ after the 33-year-old wasn’t among those heading into the jungle on Sunday night. Maura entered Love Island as a bombshell, and has returned to television screens following the same suit — as a bombshell arrival on I’m A Celebrity . The TV presenter made her entrance on Thursday alongside Reverend Richard Coles, with the duo taking up base at the Jungle Junkyard for the coming days. Despite living in luxury, the celebrities are tasked with contacting the main camp and convincing them that they are living in squalor. GK Barry and Coleen Rooney head down to the Jungle Junkyard, with Maura and Richard quickly hiding the luxury items and putting on the act. GK and Coleen returned to the camp and informed their campmates that Maura and Richard were in a place ‘like a jail,’ with GK adding that she didn’t know ‘if Maura is going to last.’ Viewers took to X to have their say as the Love Island alum made her I’m A Celebrity debut. One said: ‘I can tell Maura Higgins is going to ruffle a lot of feathers in the jungle and severely disrupt the peace #ImACeleb.’ Another wrote: ‘Maura Higgins already looks annoying and I’ve only seen 5 seconds of her #ImACeleb.’ A third added: ‘Maura F****ng Higgins aghhh #ImACeleb’ while a fourth shared: ‘Maura f*****g Higgins, the bombshell of all bombshells #ImACeleb MAURA HIGGINS IS BACK ON MY TV.

PARIS — Howling winds couldn’t stop Notre Dame Cathedral ’s heart from beating again. With three resounding knocks on its doors by Paris Archbishop Laurent Ulrich, wielding a specially designed crosier carved from fire-scorched beams, the monument roared back to life Saturday evening. For the first time since a devastating blaze nearly destroyed it in 2019, the towering Gothic masterpiece reopened for worship, its rebirth marked by song, prayer, and awe beneath its soaring arches. The ceremony, initially planned to begin on the forecourt, was moved entirely inside due to unusually fierce December winds sweeping across the Île de la Cité, flanked by the River Seine. Yet the occasion lost none of its splendor. Inside the luminous nave, choirs sang psalms, and the cathedral’s mighty organ, silent for nearly five years, thundered to life in a triumphant interplay of melodies. The restoration, a spectacular achievement in just five years for a structure that took nearly two centuries to build, is seen as a moment of triumph for French President Emmanuel Macron, who championed the ambitious timeline — and a welcome respite from his domestic political woes. The evening’s celebration, attended by 1,500 dignitaries, including President-elect Donald Trump, US first lady Jill Biden, Britain’s Prince William, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, underscored Notre Dame’s enduring role as both a spiritual and cultural beacon. Observers see the event as Macron's, and his intention to pivot it into a fully fledged diplomatic gathering, while highlighting France’s ability to unite on the global stage despite internal political crises. As the cathedral’s largest bell, the 13-ton Emmanuel — which was not named after the French leader — tolled into the Paris night, signaling the start of the ceremony, the crowd inside Notre Dame fell into an expectant hush. Emmanuel, a legacy of King Louis XIV, had rung through centuries of French history, and its peal now resonated as a call to witness another epochal moment. Outside the cathedral’s monumental doors, Ulrich raised his fire-scarred crosier. “Brothers and sisters, let us enter now into Notre Dame,” he declared. “It is she who accompanies us on our path to peace.” With the congregation of over 2,500 people watching in silence, Ulrich struck the floodlit doors, the base of his crosier reverberating against the wood. Inside, the choir answered with soaring hymns, their voices filling the nave. Illuminations on the cathedral facade heightened the drama. On the final strike, the heavy doors swung open, revealing the glowing interior of restored blond Lutetian limestone. Adding to the ceremony’s visual splendor, Ulrich and the clergy wore vibrant liturgical garments designed by French fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Known for his signature pop-art aesthetic, Castelbajac created 2,000 colorful pieces for 700 celebrants, blending modern elements with medieval touches. Flooded with light and song, the cathedral came alive in a moment of breathtaking spectacle. What had been a silent, soot-blackened ruin five years ago now blazed with renewed vitality, marking the culmination of a nearly $1 billion global effort to resurrect it. Speaking inside the cathedral, Macron expressed “gratitude” Saturday to those who saved, helped, and rebuilt Notre Dame, his voice reverberating through the nave. “I stand before you ... to express the gratitude of the French nation,” he said, before voices flooded the space with song, harmonies not heard in over five years. “Tonight, the bells of Notre Dame are ringing again. And in a moment, the organ will awaken,” sending the “music of hope” cascading through the luminous interior to Parisians, France, and the world beyond, he said. The celebration is expected to give a much-needed boost to the embattled French leader, whose prime minister was ousted this week, plunging the nation’s politics into more turmoil. Macron has called Notre Dame’s reopening “a jolt of hope.” Observers say he hoped the occasion would briefly silence his critics and showcase France’s unity and resilience under his leadership — a rare moment of grace in a presidency now facing a grave crisis. Inside Notre Dame, 42,000 square meters of stonework—equivalent to six soccer pitches—gleamed anew, revealing intricate carvings and luminous limestone. Above, 2,000 oak beams, nicknamed “the forest,” restored the cathedral’s iconic spire and roof. The great organ, dormant for over five years, roared back to life like a slumbering giant. With its 7,952 pipes—ranging from pen-sized to torso-wide—and a renovated console featuring five keyboards, 115 stops, and 30 foot pedals, it responded to Archbishop Laurent Ulrich’s command: “Wake up, organ, sacred instrument.” The first low rumble grew into a triumphant symphony as four organists pulled out the stops, weaving improvised responses to the archbishop’s invocations. Eight times, Ulrich addressed the organ; eight times, its voice filled the nave with breathtaking sound. Guests marveled at the spectacle, many capturing the moment on their phones. “It’s a sense of perfection,” said François Le Page of the Notre Dame Foundation, who last saw the cathedral cloaked in scaffolding in 2021. “It was somber then. Now, it’s night and day.” The Rev. Andriy Morkvas, a Ukrainian priest who leads the Volodymyr Le Grand church in Paris, reflected on his first visit to Notre Dame in over a decade. “I didn’t recognize it,” he said. “God is very powerful; He can change things.” He expressed hope that the cathedral’s revival could inspire peace in his homeland, drawing strength from the presence of Ukraine’s president. “I think that will have a big impact,” he said. “I hope Notre Dame and Mary will help us resolve this conflict.” The reopening of Notre Dame comes at a time of profound global unrest, with wars raging in Ukraine and the Middle East. For Catholics, Notre Dame’s rector said the cathedral “carries the enveloping presence of the Virgin Mary, a maternal and embracing presence.′′ “It is a magnificent symbol of unity,” Olivier Ribadeau Dumas said. “Notre Dame is not just a French monument — it is a magnificent sign of hope.” The international range of dignitaries coming to Paris underline the cathedral’s significance as a symbol of shared heritage and peace. Canadian visitor Noelle Alexandria, who had traveled to Paris for the reopening, was struck by the cathedral’s ability to inspire. “She’s been nearly ruined before, but she always comes back,” Alexandria said. “Not many of us could say the same after such tragedy, but Notre Dame can.” Guests entered through Notre Dame’s iconic western façade, whose arched portals adorned with biblical carvings were once a visual guide for medieval believers. Above the central Portal of the Last Judgment, the Archangel Michael is depicted weighing souls, as demons attempt to tip the scales. These stone figures, designed to inspire both awe and fear, set the stage for a ceremony steeped in history. Inside, the hum of hundreds of guests awaiting the service filled the cathedral with human sounds once more — a stark contrast to the construction din that echoed there for years. Tuners restoring the great organ often worked through the night to find the silence needed to perfect its 7,952 pipes, ranging from pen-sized to torso-wide. Notre Dame echoed to the sound of a sustained standing ovation after the showing of a short movie that documented the gargantuan rebuilding effort. Outside, the word “MERCI” — thank you — was projected against the cathedral’s iconic western facade. The movie showed the terrible wounds left by the inferno — the gaping holes torn into its vaulted ceilings and the burned roof. But that was followed by images of all types of artisans, many using traditional handicraft techniques, who collectively restored Notre Dame to look better now than ever. "We went from night to light," said one of the workers in the movie. Security will be high through the weekend, echoing measures taken during the Paris Olympics earlier this year. The Île de la Cité — the small island in the River Seine that is home to Notre Dame and the historic heart of Paris— is closed to tourists and non-residents. Police vans and barriers blocked cobblestoned streets in a large perimeter around the island, while soldiers in thick body armor and sniffer dogs patrolled embankments. A special security detail followed Trump. For many, Notre Dame’s rebirth is not just a French achievement but a global one — after the reopening, the cathedral is set to welcome 15 million visitors annually, up from 12 million before the fire.Valvoline ( NYSE:VVV – Free Report ) had its price objective decreased by Mizuho from $50.00 to $46.00 in a report issued on Wednesday morning, Benzinga reports.

The incoming president revealed Sunday details of his conversations with world leaders on his first trip abroad since winning a second term, including a trilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and Zelensky. “He wants to make peace,” Trump told The Post in a phone interview. “That’s new. “He wants to have a ceasefire,” he added. “He wants to make peace. We didn’t talk about the details. He thinks it’s time, and Putin should think its time because he’s lost — when you lose 700,000 people, it’s time. It’s not going to end until there’s a peace.” He said he spoke to Zelensky about how to end the bloody conflict that has been raging since 2022. “I’m formulating a concept of how to end that ridiculous war,” he said. Trump also pointed to his Truth Social post where he mentioned Russia in context of the fall of the Syrian government. “What happened there was Russia was not able to step up to the plate because they were all bogged down in this horrible war that never should have happened in Ukraine,” he said. Trump also revealed he spoke to Macron about NATO, reiterating that he thinks the alliance should “pay their fair share.” “I said NATO is good as long as they pay their bills, but they gotta pay their bills, because you know, when I got involved with NATO nobody paid, and then they paid after I got involved,” the president elect said. “He agrees with me,” Trump said of Macron. “He’s a good man, he did a good job. I told him, ‘you have no idea how good a job you did’ on that chapel. That’s very hard to do. Painstaking.” The side chat inside the cathedral with first lady Jill Biden was also a positive interaction, Trump said, despite their long history of making nasty remarks about each other during the two election cycles. “Very nice. She couldn’t have been nicer,” Trump said about their talk. “It’s politics. You have to get used to it,” he said about their political spats in the past. “She was very nice and we had a very nice conversation.” The former president dominated headlines with the firm handshake he had with Macron, in which he gripped his hand from the top. “It’s just a firm shake. He understands that. It’s just a firm shake,” he said of the shake. On his meeting with UK Prince William, he said he had a “great talk” about the Royal Family, as both Kate Middleton and King Charles are recovering from cancer. “I had a great talk with the prince,” Trump said.” And I asked him about his wife and he said she’s doing well. And I asked him about his father and his father is fighting very hard, and he loves his father and he loves his wife, so it was sad. We had a great talk for half an hour, a little more than half an hour. We had a great, great talk.” He then commented on the prince’s good looks: “He’s a good looking guy. He looked really, very handsome last night. Some people look better in person? He looked great. He looked really nice, and I told him that.” He also said he had a “great” meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who he described as having a “lot of energy.” “I was with her a lot,” Trump said of Meloni, noting that they had dinner together during the 60-member world leader reception. “She’s a real live wire, I will tell you. She’s great.” “We got along great,” he said of the world leader group that visited the cathedral, noting it was a “similar group” from four years ago and that he hopes they can “straighten out the world a little bit.” Trump said the newly reopened French cathedral “represented one of the ultimate places for religion and for Christianity” before it burned down five years ago. “I thought it was fantastic. I think they did a fantastic job with the cathedral. Better than it was 900 years ago,” Trump said after returning to Mar-a-Lago. “They were able to clean the stone beautifully. It was very dark. I was there, it was very dark before from 900 years of whatever. Now its clean and light and its an exact replication,” he said, arguing they made the “right decision” with the design choices of trying to preserve its authenticity. “I thought it was a very sad day in the world when it was burning. You know, it represented one of the ultimate places for religion and for Christianity, and I thought it was a really sad day. So I was invited by the prime minister and he treated our country very nicely, and he did a great job.”Valvoline ( NYSE:VVV – Free Report ) had its price objective decreased by Mizuho from $50.00 to $46.00 in a report issued on Wednesday morning, Benzinga reports.

Carolina Panthers Aircraft? A Look At David Tepper's Bombardier Global 5000Following much speculation, Love Island star Maura Higgins has entered the I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here jungle and viewers are delighted. The Longford native was one of the first rumoured celebrities to participate in the show but threw fans off the scent when she enjoyed a trip to Las Vegas last week. Viewers were ‘ furious ‘ after the 33-year-old wasn’t among those heading into the jungle on Sunday night. Maura entered Love Island as a bombshell, and has returned to television screens following the same suit — as a bombshell arrival on I’m A Celebrity . The TV presenter made her entrance on Thursday alongside Reverend Richard Coles, with the duo taking up base at the Jungle Junkyard for the coming days. Despite living in luxury, the celebrities are tasked with contacting the main camp and convincing them that they are living in squalor. GK Barry and Coleen Rooney head down to the Jungle Junkyard, with Maura and Richard quickly hiding the luxury items and putting on the act. GK and Coleen returned to the camp and informed their campmates that Maura and Richard were in a place ‘like a jail,’ with GK adding that she didn’t know ‘if Maura is going to last.’ Viewers took to X to have their say as the Love Island alum made her I’m A Celebrity debut. One said: ‘I can tell Maura Higgins is going to ruffle a lot of feathers in the jungle and severely disrupt the peace #ImACeleb.’ Another wrote: ‘Maura Higgins already looks annoying and I’ve only seen 5 seconds of her #ImACeleb.’ A third added: ‘Maura F****ng Higgins aghhh #ImACeleb’ while a fourth shared: ‘Maura f*****g Higgins, the bombshell of all bombshells #ImACeleb MAURA HIGGINS IS BACK ON MY TV. SENSATIONAL SCENES #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/Lyb8uev16N Maura Higgins is going to tear this camp apart piece by piece #ImACeleb #imacelebrity pic.twitter.com/ICqk08DbzC MAURA HIGGINS HAS ARRIVEDDD Maura as soon Grace & Colleen left their junkyard camp #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/bHBmjYnHiL Maura this is for you🫶🏻 #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/4N6Ccpo5B6 “jesus christ. sorry father” oh maura’s already given me more joy than the past few episodes have collectively #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/BnaGXXRT5i Maura and Richard are literally having the time of their life!
