I mean, you know, actually, we always say that someone has overcome cancer. But, all jokes apart, we say all these things while laughing and joking.

And that is how I looked at it.”

Actor and MP Ravi Kishan on playing Lord Ram in Ayodhya Ki Ramleela: Dara hua hoon, can't afford to go wrong with Shri Ram
The great thing is that we are in Navratri and I am fasting, so with a shudh body and pure soul I will essay the role. I am a vegetarian and have been on a special diet to look lean. Before the Ram Leela I will shave off my moustaches and am keeping myself calm and composed so that I can portray the role perfectly."
Pehli baar Shri Ram ke roop dharan karne ka saubhagya mila and I pray and wish that he enters my body and gives me the energy to perform with grace. I have earlier played Parashuram and Kevat, as a kid I have played Mata Sita as well, and in a TV serial I have essayed the role of Shri Krishna as well, but this is different. I always want to play Shri Ram"
You can't afford to go wrong or improvise and have to stay within the bound script and character. I can have all the experience, but after all we are humans and anyone can commit mistakes! I try to give my 100% and that has resulted in the success of my roles in Mirzapur The Movie, Maamla Legal Hai and Laapatta Ladies."

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warns against blindly trusting AI, calls for ‘emergency brake’
And all of this leads to needing various layers of protection and auditability of what agents are doing, what data they can work with, and controls for when things go wrong. And a huge opportunity right now for those building such systems across the enterprise,
We need to surround non-deterministic models with strong, deterministic system design, human controls, and reliable operating procedures, and establish industry standards where existing ones are insufficient,
Today this means separating the model from the harness that orchestrates its work, as well as the action space that defines what it can do. It also means externalizing controls and safeguards,

Rajinikanth says he misses being a bus conductor in Bengaluru: ‘Identify with it more than stardom'
All this stardom is fine. But to be frank, I identify more as a conductor. It’s also why I often go to Bengaluru, conductors tend to deal with all sorts of people. I identify myself as a bus conductor. So, how would a bus conductor like me behave in front of a big personality like you?”
I expected this, sir.”
See, even though I am a big star. Of course, I really like acting. But more than that, I liked being a conductor. I held the job of a conductor for five years, and I miss it to date…I miss it; I could never identify myself as a star.”

How to ‘fibremaxx’ this Navratri: Nutritionist shares simple hacks to add more fibre to your festive meals for balanced feasting
However, changes in meal timings and daily routines can lead to frequent snacking, increased consumption of fried foods and sweets, and a feeling of heaviness or discomfort after eating
During Navratri, this approach can be adopted to suit your fasting practices and dietary preferences. For instance, you could begin your meal with a fruit, include cucumber with your fasting thali, or add permitted vegetables to your preparations. The idea is not to restrict yourself from enjoying festive foods, but to make your meals more nutritionally balanced.”
I like making chivda with roasted makhana, peanuts and seeds instead of only poha. I batch-prepare these and keep them on the table so everyone enjoys them throughout the day.”
This Navratri, focus on adding more nourishing foods to your plate, staying hydrated and eating mindfully. You don’t have to skip the sweets, just fill up on fibre first, and enjoy every bite,
Pulses are the king when it comes to being fibre-rich. They are denser in fibre than vegetables and fruits. I like making sure that sundals, sprout salads, and dishes like kosumbari are always served with meals. Include dishes such as sprouts, chana chaat, dal and vegetable preparations in your regular meals. These foods provide fibre alongside other valuable nutrients, including plant-based protein.”
However, remember that these ingredients still contribute calories and natural sugars, so portion sizes matter,
I suggest my clients count fibre even before protein for this very reason. Especially when it comes to festivities in India, we live in a country that celebrates food. Food is central to all festivals, and it’s very easy to overeat. One way fibre can help is to ‘pre-load’ your meals. Think of this simple exercise of starting your meal with fibre first,
Instead of relying exclusively on refined or starchy ingredients, consider including buckwheat (kuttu), amaranth (rajgira) or water chestnut (singhara) flour where appropriate. These ingredients can add variety to your festive meals, although their fibre content varies.”
You can also prepare roasted makhana with nuts and seeds for a convenient snack, or pair your fasting meals with fibre-rich fruits and permitted vegetables. When preparing sweets, dates, figs and nuts can provide natural sweetness and additional nutrients,
