Sultan of Delhi review: Tahir Raj Bhasin cannot redeem formulaic gangster drama | Web Series

Filmmakers might be flexing their stereotypical tendencies now in the web series format, but the patience of their audience has surely reached saturation point. The same clichés, unnecessary skin show, and fascination with gangsters has now become so predictable that even before a revelation occurs, one knows exactly where it's headed. For Milan Luthria, the man who gave us the potent Once Upon A Time In Mumbai a decade ago, expectations were high with Sultan of Delhi, the new series based on Arnab Ray's 2016 book of the same name. Alas, it all comes crashing down in a disappointing mess. Not even Tahir Raj Bhasin can save the lousy storytelling that is all show and no substance.

How to Keep Mice Out of Your House This Winter

Each year, as the temperatures drop in the fall, mice are on the hunt for an all-inclusive winter resort where they can find food, warmth, and shelter until the spring.

In other words, if you don’t want them moving in this winter, now’s the time to take steps towards preventing that.

Do You Still Have to Isolate If You Catch COVID-19?

At this point, life in the U.S. has largely returned to pre-pandemic normal. The COVID-19 public health emergency is over, mask mandates are mostly gone, and offices and schools are open again.But one hallmark of the pandemic remains in place: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) still directs anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 to isolate themselves from other people for at least five full days. Once those five days are up, the CDC recommends wearing a high-quality mask, such as an N95 or KN95, around other people when indoors for an additional five days.It’s good to be up-to-date on that guidance at a time when many people are testing positive for COVID-19—and when the winter respiratory disease season is just around the corner. Here’s what you need to know about ...
