The play at Veda Kunba soon turned into a spectacle with Tracy Ann Chapel, an American actor using her contacts in Mumbai to make it happen. She got in touch with Tarun Agarwal, organizer of the popular Outsiders Film Festival. Fife’s world premiere play has turned into literary event of sorts with a poetry session, a panel discussion, a book reading being put by BIG BAD IDEA. “I am overwhelmed by the support I have received from all quarters. My hope has been to get together a quartet of talent...

Pulmonary fibrosis epitomises one of the most formidable conundrums in respiratory medicine, characterised by relentless distortion of alveolar architecture, inexorable deposition of extracellular matrix, and progressive respiratory insufficiency culminating in premature mortality. Within this category, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis occupies a paradigmatic position, marked by unpredictable natural history, profound symptom burden, and dismal prognosis. The inexorable march of fibrosis is driven by an intricate interplay between aberrant epithelial repair, fibroblast proliferation, and dysregulated angiogenesis, thereby establishing a vicious cycle of tissue scarring. For decades, the therapeutic landscape remained barren, dominated by palliation and transplantation as the sole avenues of m...

In the bustling bylanes of Kolkata, where dreams often got buried beneath the dust of daily struggle, there lived a little boy named Rajesh. Schoolbooks in the morning, bundles of baniyans by dusk — while most children chased kites, he sat beside his father, folding vests and mufflers with small, careful hands. Not for play, not for praise — but to help feed a family of six, and to send a little something extra to his beloved grandmother in Allahabad, whose blessings travelled back with the wind.He didn’t know it then, but every neatly folded baniyan was more than fabric — it was a lesson in humility, in quiet strength, in building dreams stitch by stitch.That boy never chased success.
