“They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds” a very beautiful quote written by Dinos Christianopoulos. Crime doesn’t pay, but we’ll sure pay to watch crime! Crime dramas, that is. There’s nothing better than watching mafia’s stories, and there’s no shortage of great murder mysteries and crime drama series. Audiences are often drawn to worlds they’re unfamiliar with when living an ordinary life – it stands to reason that mafia shows are one of the more popular subjects for television. The mafia, crime families, and all kinds of gangsters that can be found on this list allow viewers to vicariously live a life of high stakes, thrills, and glamor. The best gangster shows, of course, present us with complex characters in difficult situations that question commonly held beliefs about morality. Actor and Producer Adam Saini who served in Scotland Police now bringing the world’s biggest 100 episode crime drama “The Kings of Mafia – Asia Chapter I”. Saini who was last seen in the Bollywood Film Scotland now plays an Agent in the upcoming crime drama “The Kings of Mafia – Asia Chapter I”.

Producer and Actor Adam Saini, along with actors Sekhar Suman, Adhyayan Suman, Stefy Patel, Khushboo Purohit & Govind Namdev unveiled the first look poster of the movie “The Kings of Mafia – Asia Chapter I” which is produced by StudioNationUK Ltd and directed by Manish Vatssalya and written by Vinay Ramkishan Sharma. The poster generated much hype even before its release. Now, the poster is finally out. And well, it is just as hotly trending as we had expected it to be.

While talking to the media producer and actor Adam Saini, he said, “It’s a great pleasure working with Shekhar Suman & Adhyayan Suman and director Manish Vatssalya.  Talent It has no colour in which everyone is an artist. I’m connecting the film industry to decentralised blockchain technology thereby converting entertainment art into NFT so that many will get the opportunity to own a stake in the entertainment world unlike how it’s currently owned and controlled by the very few today”.

This is the first time in Indian cinema Father and son, actors Shekhar Suman and Adhyayan Suman, will face each other villain and hero. This is a fiction story about syrian mafia, from the best to the worst. We are sure this crime drama will become one of the best crime series in world television history.

Actor Sekhar Suman said, “I would like to thanks Mr. Adam Saini for this opportunity. When Manish ji narrated this story I immediately said yes to this because it’s a very interesting crime drama”.

The 100-episode crime series will be shot in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Cyprus, Hungary, and Georgia. Director Manish Vatssalya said, “I would like to thank Adam ji, Shekhar Ji, Adhyayan for his trust in me. The series is based on the Syrian Mafia. Very soon we will start the shooting of series across the World”.

The makers also released the poster for their next English movie, Scar, which is produced by StudioNationUK Ltd Ltd. and directed by Manish Vatssalya.

Uunchai boasts of a legendary ensemble, a seasoned director, an iconic production house and a story whose heartbeat is friendship.

Uunchai is Rajshri’s most ambitious film till date.

As T24, an Icon For Tiger Conservation Dies In Captivity, activists, Warren Pereira, Raveena Tandon, forest officers and activists  remember India’s most controversial Tiger

T-24, popularly called Ustad, the formerly dominant male tiger of Ranthambore died in captivity on December 28, 2022. This big cat who was known to be fearless and a “man-eater” was controversially removed from the wild in 2015 for killing at least 4 men who entered his territory. Activists largely argue that the tiger was acting in self-defense while the forest department believed he was killing humans as prey and had to be removed in the larger interest of conservation. Yet other believe that some other predator was responsible for human kills attributed to T-24.

Social media brawls, ‘Save Ustad’ billboards, the High Court, The Supreme Court and candle light marches were wall part of the uproar around this powerful specimen of the national animal of India. The tiger, 16 or 17 years old, was having several health issues in his zoo enclosure in spite of the best care, eventually succumbing to cancer. He was mourned by Indian’s from all walks of life including those who were more intimately involved with his case:

“I am grateful for the time I had with T24. He was handsome, powerful and had a cool beard but mostly I followed him in the wild for years because I liked him. Little did I know that he would become an icon for tiger conservation and die for it. His story has the power to elevate the lives of other large predators. I will always remember him as a dominant male tiger in the wild.”

——Warren Pereira Filmmaker, Director of TIGER 24 Documentary

“Ustad is back! Back where he belongs. After a long and weary life his bold stripes now freely roam the jungles of Ranthambhore in eternal peace. Invisible to the eyes, his spirit moves on. It can be felt. Worldly matters and sufferings left behind; it is total bliss. It’s like being a cub again! Gratitude to all who loved and cared for Ustad.”

—Y.K.Sahu,  Ex. Field Director, Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve

“I tracked the T-24 saga because I am passionate about tigers and wildlife. It is saddening that the victim of man-animal conflict is a   dominant male tiger with cubs to protect who got removed from his home for killing men who invaded his territory. Ustad’s death should be an eyeopener for all of us humans. Man-animal conflict is eternal, but something needs to change with tiger conservation. Or we will soon have none left!”

—-Raveena Tandon, Actress and Wildlife Activist

“My memories of T-24 date back to 2013 when I was the park manager at Ranthambhore. He used to be the one of the most popular tigers because of his strong build. Unfortunately, he was implicated in the killing of men and was declared a danger to human life by the Chief Wildlife Warden and the Jaipur High Court. After the fourth kill I was concerned that T-24 would be shot dead or sent to a zoo with small enclosures. So, I requested the CWLW to transfer him to Sajjangarh Biological Park which was under my control and had large one-hectare enclosures. It was a massive undertaking to house a full-grown wild tiger, but he was given the highest level of care and we kept him safely for 7 years till his recent passing. Till the very end he maintained his wild side.”

—-Rahul Bhatnagar IFS  Ex. Chief Conservator Of The Forest

“I believe that certain documentaries need to be seen on the big screen. TIGER 24 is one of them. To see exclusive footage of India’s most controversial tiger on the big screen is a treat. With T24’s recent passing I now feel even stronger about TIGER 24’s theatrical run given that he has sparked a national conversation on man-animal conflict. TIGER 24’s screenings with be a tribute to this magnificent jungle cat and his contribution to the conservation of our national animal.”

—–Anil Thadani Film Distributor

“Ustad is the one who triggered my activism for wild tigers when I saw him lose his freedom to the tag of ‘man-eater’. I began to see the plight of our wild tigers beyond the showcased tiger sightings, glorified visuals, and implied vacuous conservation efforts.”

—–Sarita Subramaniam Activist.

The Anvayins Kaziranga Ultra Run 2023 scheduled for January 28, 2023 has a unique social objective – to express support for the rare-one horned rhinoceros and deepen public consciousness for the glorious animal.
Noted Bollywood actor, Raveena Tandon has come on board to support the cause of rhinos while promoting Northeast India. A wildlife enthusiast and activist herself, Raveena will also be visiting the Kaziranga National Park in early 2023 with Anvayins for a rendezvous with the animal and understand the various efforts for its conservation. Speaking at the press conference held at Mumbai on December 21, 2022, Raveena said, “It is important for mankind to understand that life is about coexistence. When you build roads across the jungle, it is important to fence them and make overhead or underground pathways for animals. Man-animal conflict will always exist, but when initiatives like Anvayins Kaziranga Ultra Run initiated by Nishikant Das are conceived to protect the rhino and other wildlife, they will always have my support.”
The Anvayins Kaziranga Ultra Run 2023, the first ever ultra-run in Assam, will have four race categories for runners to choose from – 52 KM 26 KM, 14 KM and 5 KM. This trail runs through pristine rural settings, paddy fields and tea plantations that promise to make their city counterparts look less exciting. The Government of India through the Ministry of Development of Northeast Region (M-DoNER) has extended its support for the initiative while Sports Authority of India has endorsed the event under its Fit India Movement program. We are proud to be associated with Bandhan Bank as they present this event. We are also delighted to have HDFC ERGO as Wellness Partner and HDFC Life as Life Insurance Partner. Resort Borgos, one of the premium properties at Kaziranga has joined as the Venue Partner. The event is organized by Anvayins Travels Private Limited, a Northeast India focused travel and hospitality platform that offers curated journeys through the region.
Kaziranga, arguably the best-known face of Assam, is home to the rare one-horned rhinoceros. After a steady decline in its population largely due to poaching, the number of rhinos has gradually increased in the last decade due to focused efforts by the government and various foundations dedicated to rhino conservation. In line with the goal of the ultra-run, a portion of funds available in excess of expenses of the event will be contributed towards the conservation of the Kaziranga rhino.
Nishikant Das, founder and CEO, Anvayins expressed, “This event not only aims at making a contribution to the cause of rhino conservation but also is another initiative by Anvayins to facilitate a deeper understanding of Northeast India, a land of exquisite natural beauty and extraordinary socio-cultural practices amongst the rest of the country. Accordingly, we are determined to make it an annual national event.”
While Anvayins had originally committed to the entire capital for the event, the company has now received financial sponsorship from reputed financial institutions such Bandhan Bank Ltd, HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company Ltd and HDFC LIFE Insurance Company Ltd. Apurva Sircar, Head – Marketing, Bandhan Bank, said, “It is our pleasure to be.

बॉलीवुड एक्ट्रेस रवीना टंडन हाल ही में अंवायिन्स काजीरंगा अल्ट्रा रन को अपना सहयोग करती हुई दिखाई दी। भारतीय जानवर राइनो के रख-रखाव और उनकी सुरक्षा के लिए अंवायिन्स काजीरंगा अल्ट्रा रन द्वारा उठाया गयी इस नेक पहल का रवीना ने खुले दिल से स्वागत किया । आपको बता दे कि अंवायिन्स काजीरंगा अल्ट्रा रन 28 जनवरी, 2023 को होनेवाला हैं।
इस अल्ट्रा रन का सबसे बड़ा उद्देश्य हैं कि  दुर्लभ-एक सींग वाले गैंडों के लिए समर्थन व्यक्त करना और जनता को इस बात से अवगत कराना की ये जानवर हमारे देश के लिए बेहद गौरवशाली हैं।
एक वन्यजीव उत्साही और एक कार्यकर्ता, रवीना भी इस नेक पहल के लिए बेहद उत्साहित हैं जो खुद साल 2023 की शुरुआत में अंवायिन्स के साथ काजीरंगा राष्ट्रीय उद्यान का दौरा करेंगी जहाँ वो पशु और उसके संरक्षण के विभिन्न प्रयासों के पहलुओं को समझेंगी। इस खास मौके पर आकर रवीना कहती हैं कि,”  मानवजाति को ये समझना  ज्यादा जरूरी हैं कि जीवन का मूल आधार सह- आस्तित्व में ही हैं। अगर आप जंगल के आर-पार सड़के बनाते हैं  तो ये जरूरी हैं कि वहाँ एक घेरा बनाया जाए ताकि पशुओं की रक्षा हो सके। जमीन के नीचे या ऊपर की तरफ जानवरो के लिए उचित रास्ते बने। इंसान और जानवरों की लड़ाई हमेशा से जीवित रही हैं लेकिन जब अनवाईन्स काज़ीरंगा अल्ट्रा रन की ये पहल निशिकान्त दास द्वारा राइनो के रख-रखाव के लिए ली गयी तो ऐसे नेक पहल को मेरा हमेशा सपोर्ट रहेगा।”
असम में अब तक का ये पहला अल्ट्रा-रन होगा जो चार श्रेणी में बटा हैं। धावकों के चयन के लिए श्रेणियाँ – 52 KM ,26 KM, 14 KM और 5 KM।  ये अल्ट्रा रन शुरू होगी एक यह पगडंडी से,प्राचीन ग्रामीण सेटिंग्स, धान के खेतों और चाय बागानों के बीच से जो उन्हें बनाने का वादा करते हैं जो शहर के समकक्ष कम रोमांचक दिखते हैं।
भारत सरकार ने इस पहल के लिए मिनिस्ट्री ऑफ डेवलोपमेन्ट ऑफ नार्थ ईस्ट रीजन (M-DoNER) के माध्यम से समर्थन का हाथ बढ़ाया है।जबकि स्पोर्ट्स अथॉरिटी ऑफ इंडिया ने अपने फिट इंडिया मूवमेंट के तहत इस आयोजन का समर्थन किया है और उन्हें गर्व हैं कि वो बंधन बैंक से जुड़ पाए जो इस कार्यक्रम को प्रस्तुत करेंगे। इतना ही नही एचडीएफसी एर्गो( वेलनेस पार्टनर) और एचडीएफसी लाइफ को लाइफ इंश्योरेंस के रूप में पाकर भी काफी खुश हैं ।  रिज़ॉर्ट बोर्गोस भी एक इवेंट के लिए वेन्यू पार्टनर के तौर पर जुड़ गए हैं जो, काजीरंगा की प्रीमियम संपत्तियों में शुमार हैं ।  इस कार्यक्रम का आयोजन पूर्वोत्तर भारत की अन्वायंस ट्रेवल्स प्राइवेट लिमिटेड द्वारा किया जा रहा हैं। जो नार्थईस्ट इंडिया का काफी प्रतिष्ठित मंच हैं जो
इस क्षेत्र के माध्यम से क्यूरेटेड यात्रा देने का वादा करता है।
काजीरंगा, यकीनन असम का सबसे प्रसिद्ध चेहरा है, लेकिन एक दुर्लभ घर हैं एक-सींगवाले जानवर राइनो के लिए । जो आज बड़े पैमाने पर अवैध शिकार के कारण आबादी में कम होते जा रहे हैं।
लेकिन सरकार और फाउंडेशन के अथक प्रयासों के कारण पिछले एक दशक में गैंडों की संख्या में धीरे-धीरे वृद्धि हुई है। और इस अल्ट्रा रन के माध्यम से जो राशि इक्कठा होगी उसका एक अहम हिस्सा काजीरंगा गैंडों के संरक्षण के लिए दिया जाएगा।
प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में बोलते हुए, अन्वायिन्स के संस्थापक और सीईओ निशिकांत दास ने कहा, “यह अल्ट्रा रन का उद्देश्य न केवल गैंडों के संरक्षण में योगदान देना है, बल्कि पूर्वोत्तर भारत के लिए हमारे इस गहरे अध्ययन की एक पहल हैं कि हम उसकी  प्राकृतिक सुंदरता और देश की असाधारण सामाजिक-सांस्कृतिक प्रथाओं की भूमि को विकसित करने में कुछ सहयोग कर पाए। इतना ही नही हम इसे एक वार्षिक राष्ट्रीय कार्यक्रम बनाने के लिए दृढ़ संकल्पित भी हैं।”
इसके साथ ही अनवाईन्स मूल रूप से पूरे इवेंट का खर्चा उठाने के लिए तत्पर हैं पर अब हमारे साथ काफी स्पॉन्सर्स भी जुड़ रहे हैं। जैसे बंधन बैंक लिमिटेड, एचडीएफसी एर्गो जनरल इंश्योरेंस कंपनी लिमिटेड और एचडीएफसी लाइफ इंश्योरेंस कंपनी।”
लि. अपूर्वा सिरकार, हेड-मार्केटिंग, बंधन बैंक ने कहा, ”अंवायिन्स काजीरंगा अल्ट्रा रन 2023 से जुड़ने का हम सभी को गौरव मिला हैं। इस बात की हमे बेहद खुशी हैं।बंधन बैंक के लिए नार्थईस्ट और असम हमेशा से एक महत्वपूर्ण बाजार रहे है और यह देखकर खुशी होती है कि अंवायिनस ने  वन्यजीव संरक्षण और जलवायु के क्षेत्र में सार्थक प्रभाव पैदा करने पर ध्यान केंद्रित किया।

शहर की लड़की रवीना बन गयी हैं आरण्यक! अनवाईन्स काजीरंगा अल्ट्रा रन से जुड़कर होगी  राइनो की रक्षक!

The Viral Village Set To Go Viral

Real talent is infinite, beyond time and space. What started as a creative passion for Shital Keshari, the woman with beauty, grace and amazing talent, soon turned out to be an intense affair only six months before. Today she has around 25 classy paintings to her credit and still doing more paintings, too. No, Shital’s  paintings are not for sale, but only for public viewing like her recent super-hit painting exhibition at the Nehru Centre, Worli.
Ironically, Shital’s 11-years old prodigious daughter Prakriti followed in her steps and has also started doing paintings which are stunningly beautiful. Both mother and daughter are encouraged to the hilt by Shital’s multifaceted senior bureaucrat husband Ajai Keshari who himself is a superb poet as well as an outstanding ghazal writer.
Shital Keshari who shifted  to paintings few years later after doing her fashion-designing course says, “I never wanted to be a painter since my childhood. I did my fashion designing course and could have easily become a stylist. But my destiny had written something else for me.”
So, how has been the journey so far?
“The eventful journey has been  fantastic. I work on variety of themes and not one in particular,” tells Shital  as a matter-of-fact.
Regarding her participation in the recent painting exhibition at Worli, Shital  says that since she had so many paintings she wanted to showcase them systematically. “And yes, the response to my paintings in Worli exhibition was overwhelming!,” says a grateful Shital.
In this fast-paced digital world, is there a lack of interest/enthusiasm among people for paintings?
“I don’t think so. Creativity is not forced. It’s natural. Look, how I started painting only this year, six months to be precise!,” replies Shital.
Ask her about the paintings scenario, Shital elaborates, “It’s good everywhere, in India and abroad. In India, I think, the passion for paintings is more apparent in Mumbai.”
About her daughter Prakriti who’s also into painting, Shital tells as a proud mother, “Prakriti is naturally talented. She’s very good in her studies also and doing wonderful paintings just going by her intuitions.”
“You can pursue your creative passion at any age. But do the best, no half-hearted effort. Honesty and dedication are a must, to put it mildly,” tells Shital a matter fact.
Points noted Shital. All the best for your painted road ahead!

Synopsis of the Story

The Municipal Corporation of Mumbai has partnered with Ashraya to bring a revolutionary Digital Learning Ecosystem to 1100 schools, providing access to personalized learning opportunities for thousands of students. The initiative has seen the transformative power of a comprehensive digital learning ecosystem in improving learning outcomes. This partnership is a crucial step in equipping students with the skills they need to succeed in the digital age.

By Rusen Kumar

MUMBAI: The Municipal Corporation of Mumbai (BMC) partnered with Ashraya, a digital learning initiative founded by Satish Jha, to deploy a comprehensive Digital Learning Ecosystem in 1100 schools across the city. This marks the first initiative of its kind in the region at this scale, and will provide access to transformative learning opportunities for over 500,000 students in Mumbai.

“We are thrilled to be working with the BMC to bring our Digital Learning Ecosystem to so many students in Mumbai,” said Satish Jha, founder of Ashraya. “Based on our experience with 9000 students across 27 schools in 7 states, we have seen the incredible impact that a comprehensive digital learning ecosystem can have on learning outcomes. We are confident that this partnership will help to improve educational opportunities for students in Mumbai.”

The Digital Learning Ecosystem developed by Ashraya incorporates a range of tools and technologies, including personalized learning platforms, data analytics, and adaptive assessments, to provide students with a personalized learning experience that is tailored to their individual needs and goals.

“Investing in a comprehensive digital learning ecosystem is crucial for the future of education,” said Satish Jha. “At a time when technology is transforming every aspect of our lives, it is essential that we provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the digital age. We are grateful to Ashraya for their partnership and support in helping us to achieve this goal.”

So far, Satish Jha and his family have fully funded Ashraya’s program in the 27 schools in which it has been implemented. The 1100 schools awarded by BMC will require significantly more support in order to fully realize the potential of the Digital Learning Ecosystem. Ashraya will be working closely with BMC and other partners to secure the necessary funding through various benefactors, avenues, and CSR programs.

“This partnership is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to improve educational outcomes for students in Mumbai,” further added Satish Jha. “We are confident that the Digital Learning Ecosystem developed by Ashraya will have a profound impact on the learning experiences of students in our schools, and we look forward to working with Ashraya to make this a reality.”

With a proven track record of improving learning outcomes, the Digital Learning Ecosystem is set to revolutionize education in Mumbai.

Conclusion

Ashraya, a digital learning initiative, has discovered the true cost of transforming learning outcomes: a mere Rs 75000 per child over 5 years. This investment in a comprehensive digital learning ecosystem has been proven to show tangible results, and Ashraya is excited to bring this opportunity to students in Mumbai through its partnership with the Municipal Corporation of Mumbai. People can join in supporting the future of education and the power of digital learning so that it can be replicated.

The theme for this January is ‘hope’ and the campaign has a desi twist to engage more Indians. In addition to the free resources and 31-day coaching emails, this year’s resources Include a new Indian starter kit answering all questions on veganism, more Indian recipes, a one-pot meal plan to help make meals cheaper and quicker, as well as an updated celebrity e-cookbook featuring recipes from Indian and global celebs including Venus Williams and Dr Jane Goodall, and a new podcast series which launches on 1st January.

Reflecting on her decision to be an ambassador for the campaign, Monica Dogra said, “I turned vegan after watching a documentary about the way that eggs are produced, and also hearing information on the environmental impact of factory farmed dairy. I had already been vegetarian for years for similar reasons. I recognize it’s a process, but it is one that is easier than ever today, and one that should surely be considered by the privileged to help lower impact on the planet and promote compassionate and mindful lifestyle.”

Market research indicates a rising popularity of veganism in India. A YouGov survey in December 2021 revealed that 65 per cent of Indians planned to eat more plant-based/vegan foods in 2022. In January 2022, India had the third highest number of people signing up to try vegan, next only to the UK and USA.

Along with climate, social and health benefits, veganism has huge economic implications as well. The Indian plant-based meat market, which is currently worth $30–40 million, is anticipated to grow to $500 million in the next two years. Plant-based dairy sales in India are expected to increase from their current level of $21 million to $63.9 million by 2024, with a CAGR of 20.7% per cent. As a result of the rising demand, meat and dairy substitutes are competitively priced and readily available on par with their equivalents sourced from animals.

Amy Aela shared her sentiment, by saying: “Choosing to be plant based is not about a diet, it’s about choosing a lifestyle which is morally sound. As humans, we have the ability for moral and rational thought – unlike other animals. So, if we can have happy and healthy lives without hurting someone else, why wouldn’t we?”

Prakriti Varshney, the first vegan woman to scale Mt. Everest recorded a motivational video for Veganuary participants and observed “If you can live a happy, strong and healthy life without harming animals and nature, then, why wouldn’t you?”

To help people track their progress while encouraging them to stay on a vegan diet, Veganuary has also collaborated with vegan bakehouse Maloney’s Delights and introduced special edition Veganuary calendars.

Veganuary’s India Head Prashanth Vishwanath said: “This is the time for hope, change, and action. Whatever your plans for 2023 are, trying vegan is a great place to start, for health, the planet and the animals. Veganuary understands the science of behaviour change and brings world-class support and resources for you to have a great vegan experience. You can do this while enjoying most of your favourite Indian recipes, engaging with celeb vegans and being part of a community that is trying vegan at the same time as you”

This Children’s Day, Karan Gupta Education Foundation and Make A Wish Foundation, supported by Make Earth Green Again MEGA Foundation and Sion Hospital Pediatric ward, helped grant the wishes of 201 critically and terminally ill children at the Sion Hospital Auditorium.

It was a beautiful moment when each child looked back at life with renewed energy when their wish was granted.

From television sets to scooters to jeeps to tabs and mobile phones and doll and kitchen sets, the children expressed their wishes to turn doctors to engineers with radiating smiles that lit up the  Auditorium.

Besides Karan Gupta and Deepak S Bhatia, actors Boman Irani and Sangram Singh motivated the children with their  beautiful words and smiles.

Boman’s jaadu ki jhappi made a huge difference as did Sangram Singh’s simplicity.

The motive was simple. To transform the lives and fulfill the wishes and be entertained by a clown, a magician and sing and dance.

Besides Boman Irani, Sangram Singh, Dr. Anusha Srinivasan Iyer, Riddhi Modi, Kalpana Loonkar and Nitish Shah were present alongside Karan Gupta and Deepak S Bhatia.

Boman Irani felt that his wish was granted by being here. “My wish is granted today ” he said.

“Medicines are there. And then there is hope. Doctors believe that once the wish is granted, the hopes of the children double. This gift is much more than just a cycle or a game. It is much more bigger than that. It is hope that the treatment will work,” he said emotionally. “I feel like a child everytime I am on stage. And children are much wiser than us. We should all bring out the child in us,” he said.

Added Sangram Singh, “There are four ways to be strong. Eat less than what you desire, drink double the water than food, exercise the best you can and laugh four times.” The eager audience made the Commonwealth gold medallist wrestler repeat the formula twice.

“Every year more and more children miraculously recover from life threatening illnessess just by having their simple wishes granted. God bless them and let’s pledge to transform one life at a time. Deep gratitude to our donors for supporting this cause,” avered Karan Gupta who has been fulfilling wishes  for the last three years.
