Kareena Kapoor reveals why she lasted this long in Bollywood: ‘I’m still hot’ | Bollywood

Actor Kareena Kapoor has revealed why she 'lasted this long' in the Hindi film industry. In an interview with The Dirty Magazine, Kareena said that unlike other actors she can't “keep saying something or the other”. She added that a person has to find their individuality.

Kareena talks about ‘competition, comparison’Kareena said, “Now especially, actors have to keep saying something or the other. I can’t. I just cut off. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lasted this long, I would have just have wilted in this competition, this pressure, the comparison of this look and that look, now so-and-so’s on the rise and I have to look young, so-and-so is doing...

News Analysis: Mike Johnson just did the same thing that cost Kevin McCarthy his job

WASHINGTON —  Kevin McCarthy’s 269-day tenure as House speaker was spoiled by his frequent reliance on bipartisanship. At least that’s how some of his fellow Republicans saw it. The eight rogue GOP lawmakers who voted on Oct. 3 to remove the Californian from the speakership repeatedly complained that he too often turned to Democrats for help passing key legislation. The Bakersfield Republican relied on Democratic votes to suspend the nation’s debt limit in May and to stave off a government shutdown in September. Replacing McCarthy with Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson was supposed to solve that problem — and result in more conservative governance. But on Tuesday afternoon, Johnson became the latest GOP House speaker to require Democratic help to keep Washington running. In a 336-95 vote, the Ho...

U.S. Women Now Live About 6 Years Longer Than Men

U.S. women are now projected to live about six years longer than U.S. men, as COVID-19 and drug overdoses claim more male than female lives, according to research published Nov. 13 in JAMA Internal Medicine.Overall U.S. life expectancy has declined in recent years and, as of the latest estimate, sits at around 76 years. But as the new research details, women are expected to live significantly longer than men. As of 2021, the latest year with federal data available, life expectancy among U.S. men was 73.5 years, compared to 79.3 years among women.Across the world, women tend to live longer than men for a variety of reasons, some biological—such as hormonal differences—and some behavioral. Women tend to visit doctors more frequently and are less likely to smoke and drink excessively, for exa...

Supreme Court ethics code codifies existing judiciary rules

WASHINGTON —  The Supreme Court on Monday issued a code of conduct for itself for the first time, but it acknowledged the rules are “not new” and simply restate the principles it says its justices have long followed.The announcement said the justices hoped the code would “dispel this misunderstanding” that they “regard themselves as unrestricted by any ethics rules.”But this modest effort is unlikely to end the controversy created by Justice Clarence Thomas and his free luxury vacations, paid for by Texas real estate billionaire Harlan Crow.That’s because there is still no enforcement mechanism behind the court’s code of conduct, and each of the justices remains free to decide for themselves whether particular gifts or travels cross a line and are prohibited. All federal judges already fol...

Hansika Motwani on first Diwali: We ensure that we celebrate it together

It was Hansika Motwani’s first Diwali after getting married to her long-time boyfriend and businessman Sohael Kathuriya, and the actor is made sure it is a memorable one.

No makeup and crumpled coats: how to do lazy luxury

But as ever, the gulf between what we say we want, and what we really want is vast. Because if time is the great, modern luxury, somewhat paradoxically, too little of it is the great, modern status symbol. To be stressed and frazzled and snowed under says that you are in demand. Congratulations, you are still relevant and yet to be traded in for a harder, better, faster, stronger model. It’s all about ego. This tension poses something of a dilemma when presenting oneself to the world. Fashion, as ever, proposes a solution. Which is? Leaning in to a deliberate, cultivated, lazy look. Source link

Opinion: The shutdown looms, and Speaker Mike Johnson has nothing

House Speaker Mike Johnson, the obscure former backbencher vaulted out of the far-right field to Congress’ highest-ranking job just over two weeks ago, told Sean Hannity that the many Americans wondering about his worldview should simply “pick up a Bible” and read it.It’s funny, though — my copy doesn’t say anything about funding the U.S. government (or foreign policy, climate change, LGBTQ+ rights, gun policies and much more, for that matter). And MAGA Mike, as he’s affectionately dubbed on the right, must also be having a hard time locating the pertinent passage. He adjourned the House on Thursday for a long weekend, still without a funding plan that would avert the government’s shutdown Friday at midnight.

What Is the ‘Soft Saving’ Trend? (And How to Do It Yourself)

I’ve written before how you should treat your budget like a healthy diet. Sure, you can try intense restriction—like the FIRE movement’s math-heavy approach—to get you an early retirement. But on the other end of the spectrum, you may spiral out into revenge spending, dooming your finances the same way binge-eating can doom your diet. In-between, there’s the concept of “soft saving,” a happy medium between these extremes. It’s all about moderation. Or that’s the idea, anyway.Allow me to flex my firsthand insight into Gen Z here: Generally, a “soft life” is a lifestyle that embraces low stress and self-care. Akin to quiet quitting, soft saving is simply a trendy term to describe the timeless pursuit of a life worth living within the confines of capitalism. While older generations made work ...
