Psychology says people who keep changing radio channels to listen good songs aren't always looking for better music: What this behavior reveals?

Psychology says people who keep changing radio channels to listen good songs aren't always searching for one particular track. This habit can be linked to novelty seeking, boredom, attention, choice and the desire for immediate stimulation. People may keep moving between stations because they expect the next channel to offer something better, creating a cycle of searching instead of enjoying the music already playing.

Kejriwal claims Centre to blend ethanol in diesel; urges people to avoid buying new vehicles

New Delhi, Aug 06: Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday alleged that the Centre is planning to introduce ethanol blending in diesel and aviation turbine fuel (ATF), and urged people to avoid buying new vehicles for the next few years. In a post on X in Hindi, Kejriwal alleged the government planned to increase ethanol blending in petrol beyond 50 per cent after introducing E20 fuel. It seems they are going to adulterate petrol with more than 50 per cent. They are just waiting for the atmosphere to calm down. First, they forced E20 petrol into your E0 and E10 vehicles and wrecked them. Today, if you buy a new E20 vehicle, the government will force E50 petrol into it after a few days and damage it, Kejriwal said. Alleging that the government would soon blend ethanol in diesel as well, Kejriwal urged people to avoid purchasing new petrol and diesel vehicles for the time being. In another post, he claimed the Modi government was planning to blend ethanol in ATF. Sources indicate that the Modi government plans to mix ethanol in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF). Experts say that this could seriously compromise the safety of flights, he said. Earlier this month, Kejriwal had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising concerns over the rollout of E20 petrol. He had sought the availability of both pure petrol and E20 fuel at filling stations and demanded lower prices for ethanol-blended petrol.

EXCLUSIVE: Adnan Sami talks about Ishq Tamasha, BLASTS societys HYPOCRISY: We glorify Devdas, Romeo-Juliet and Laila-Majnu, but MOCK people who fall madly in love...we call them Devdas ki aulad

After wowing audiences with the quirky yet progressive Lipstick, Adnan Sami is back with the intense dance number Ishq Tamasha. The track combines the emotional depth of a romantic ballad with contemporary pop-rock production and expressive visual storytelling. The strikingly mounted video also evokes memories of Adnan Samis creatively filmed music videos from the early 2000s. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the legendary singer-composer spoke about Ishq Tamasha, his evolving musical sensibilities and a lot more. Ishq Tamasha is quite intense and impactful and also completely different from Lipstick I have a whole host of songs that are in the pipeline. We started off with Lipstick and it had a completely different vibe from whatever I have done in the past. Ishq Tamasha is a completely different song from that. They dont have any connection whatsoever, as you can tell. This is a very intense romantic song. In the past, I have done a lot of songs from very different types of genres songs like Kabhi To Nazar Milao, Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein and Tera Chehra on one hand and also Lift Kara De, Gela Gela, Aye Udi Udi and Kiss Me Baby on the other. I have also done qawwali. So, I have these different genres that are in me, and they reflect a lot of who I am as a musician and as a person. They also reflect my upbringing. You are what you listen to and what you are influenced by. Since I have lived all over the world throughout my life, obviously theres so much of influence that I have picked up wherever I lived. In the forthcoming future, I am going to be sharing all of that. The forthcoming songs would also stand out in terms of their arrangements, themes, texture, etc. It is exciting for me as a musician. I finally got into a zone where I decided that I want to bare all (smiles). I dont want to get stuck into any particular genre. Why do you think this is the right time for you to bare all? Because even the listener has evolved. In the past, the listener was prepared to listen to very limited music. There was film music, which had its own texture and genre. Then there was a little bit of experimentation on the independent side. So, you needed to work around that perimeter of music. Now, formats have changed and streaming has come in. Earlier, a listener would buy cassettes. You had a certain amount of money and you would walk into the music store. Most of the people could buy just 1 or 2 cassettes based on their budget. As a result, the listener would buy only that album that he had heard on radio or seen its music video and was comfortable with it. Accordingly, the person would buy those two cassettes and listen to their songs to death (laughs). There were a hundred other cassettes of other films and albums. But the listener would not buy them, citing Maine inke gaane nahin sune aur mere paas paise nahin hai udaane ke liye. And it was fair; even I used to do the same as a student. Consequently, everyone was roaming around that perimeter of music. But with streaming coming in, things have improved. Lets say that you have paid Rs. 100 to access a subscription of a music app. By paying just Rs. 100, you could listen to the songs from the entire world. Now, because you have the facility, you will listen to different sounds. Youll say Hey, I like that. Suddenly, your mind opens up. You are far more receptive towards all kind of music as you have got the exposure. And thats not all. Today, we have international acts coming to India of all kinds of genres that one didnt expect that people would like. Yet, they are filling up stadiums. This makes me very happy. I grew up with so many different genres and compositions of all kinds. But I was not able to present them to the listener as I knew that he or she was not possibly accustomed and tuned to take it in. Hence, I stuck to a particular format. Now that the listener has become attentive and receptive to such genres, I am really enjoying this as now, I can go anywhere. So, now I have decided to do just that (smiles). It allows me to open up my creative banks. Ishq Tamasha is an intense romantic song about a man who is so madly in love that he worries he may be making a fool of himself and become an object of ridicule. How did the idea for the song come about? We, as a society in India and elsewhere, have this tendency. When we read about Romeo And Juliet, Heer Ranjha, Laila Majnu or watch Devdas, we glorify them and say Waahromance ho toh aisa ho! But when we see somebody doing the same in real life, we mock them. Why this hypocrisy? We say Majnu ban gaya hai, pagal ban gaya hai, Devdas ki aulad. Theyll also say all kinds of nonsense like Kya hua agar woh chali gayi? There are many fish in the ocean! Your parents may tell you, Youd look back at this and youll laugh at yourself. When youre going through it, you feel small and dejected. You wonder, Why are you making fun of me? I am just in love with somebody. You also feel Main nahin, yeh log pagal ho gaye hai! Ishq Tamasha is about this hypocrisy. By and large, most people go through it.

Apni Party wants Centre to start dialogue with J&Ks people to address their issues: Mohammad Ashraf Mir

Srinagar, Aug 5:Apni Party Provincial President Mohammad Ashraf Mir on Wednesday said that the party wants the Centre to initiate a meaningful dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially the youth, to address their issues and grievances. He also urged the Government of India (GoI) to restore the rights and dignity of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. In a press release, he said that the youth feel insecure and helpless, and therefore a meaningful dialogue is essential to bridge the trust deficit. Mir made these remarks while addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in Srinagar, as per the statement. He said, Today, on the seventh anniversary of the events of August 5, 2019, Apni Party passed a resolution at every district headquarters demanding the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood and other constitutional rights. On this day in 2019, the Centre took away our rights and dignity. Apni Party will continue to strive for the restoration of all the rights that existed prior to August 5, 2019, including Articles 370 and 35A. He further said, We demand that the Centre immediately restore Jammu and Kashmir's statehood, as promised by the Hon'ble Prime Minister and the Hon'ble Home Minister on the floor of the House. Demanding that the existing residency requirement for domicile eligibility be increased from 15 years to 50 years, Mohammad Ashraf Mir said, Following the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, the Apni Party leadership, during its meeting with the Central leadership in New Delhi, successfully persuaded the Centre to safeguard the exclusive rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir over land and government jobs. As a result of these efforts, the domicile law was eventually implemented. He added, However, we urge that the extending residency requirement for domicile eligibility should be enhanced from 15 years to 50 years. We also demand that these protections be backed by a constitutional guarantee to ensure the permanent safeguarding of the land and employment rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Mir said that after the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, it was said that Jammu and Kashmir would witness accelerated development and greater employment opportunities. However, the reality is that seven years later, Jammu and Kashmir has the highest unemployment rate in the country, while the region continues to face a significant development deficit, he said. He said that the police prevented the party's leaders from their movement in districts such as Anantnag, Shopian, Baramulla, and Pulwama. As a result, the resolution could not be passed in those districts. However, it was successfully passed by every other district body across Jammu and Kashmir. During the press conference, Mohammad Ashraf Mir was flanked by several party leaders including partys Chief Spokesperson & State Secretary Muntazir Mohiuddin, State Secretary and Spokesperson Dr. Harbaksh Singh, and others.

People of J&K have rejected Aug 5, 2019 decisions: Dr Farooq Abdullah

Srinagar, Aug 5: The Jammu & Kashmir National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah has described August 5, 2019 as one of the darkest days in India's democratic history, saying the decisions taken on that day stripped Jammu & Kashmir of its constitutional guarantees, political identity and statehood. In a party press release, he said the people of Jammu & Kashmir have ejected the August 5 decisions from the very first day and continue to stand firmly against what he termed unilateral and unconstitutional measures. He asserted that the National Conference would continue its peaceful and democratic struggle for the restoration of the constitutional guarantees, democratic rights and full-fledged statehood of Jammu & Kashmir. Dr Farooq said the National Conference-led government reaffirmed its commitment by making it its first legislative priority to pass a resolution in the Legislative Assembly rejecting the August 5 decisions and seeking the restoration of Jammu & Kashmir's constitutional position and statehood. Launching a sharp attack on the BJP, Dr Farooq said that the party continues to promote proxy political formations to divide the people's mandate and weaken their collective voice. Referring to the 2014 Assembly elections, he said the National Conference had warned that the PDP's alliance with the BJP would prove detrimental to Jammu & Kashmir, ultimately culminating in the constitutional changes of August 5, 2019. He said the National Conference has a historic legacy of securing democratic rights and social justice for the people and reaffirmed that the party would never compromise on safeguarding Jammu & Kashmir's identity, dignity and constitutional rights. He appealed to the people to remain united and strengthen J&K National Conference to achieve the restoration of the rights taken away on August 5, 2019.

Psychology suggests that people who finish other people's sentences aren't always trying to interrupt. Their behavior may be influenced by predictive processing, conversational alignment, cognitive empathy, faster language processing, and a natural tendency toward cooperative communication. These psychological processes can cause the brain to anticipate what someone is about to say during everyday conversations.

Richa Chadha credits her love for history for inspiring Musafiri, a series on India's heritage: I hope the series encourages people to look at our heritage with fresh eyes

Richa Chadha is all set to present a new take on Indian non-fiction storytelling with her upcoming series Musafiri, produced under her banner, Pushing Buttons Studios. Drawing inspiration from her academic background in History and her enduring fascination with India's culture and heritage, the actor-producer aims to create a series that explores the country's historical richness through engaging narratives and visually captivating storytelling. For Richa, history has always been more than just a record of events. Her years of studying the subject, along with extensive reading and travelling, have significantly influenced the concept behind Musafiri. Instead of focusing only on historical dates or monuments, the series intends to delve into the people, traditions, forgotten tales, and cultural legacies that have shaped India's identity over the centuries. The series will travel across several historically significant destinations in the country, combining cinematic visuals with authentic local voices and immersive storytelling. Through this approach, Musafiri hopes to offer viewers a fresh perspective on India's heritage while highlighting stories and places that often remain outside mainstream conversations. The show also seeks to celebrate the country's cultural diversity and inspire audiences to reconnect with its rich historical legacy. Speaking about the inspiration behind the project, Richa Chadha said, History was one of my favourite subjects growing up because it always felt like a way of understanding people, societies, and how we arrived at where we are today. Over the years, that curiosity only grew stronger through travel, conversations, and reading. Musafiri comes from that personal interest. I wanted to create something that doesn't just showcase beautiful monuments or landscapes, but also the stories, memories, and communities that give these places meaning. India has an incredible cultural wealth, and there are so many narratives that deserve to be discovered beyond textbooks. I hope the series encourages people to look at our heritage with fresh eyes and inspires them to explore the country with greater curiosity and appreciation. If audiences finish an episode wanting to know more about a place or its history, I think we would have achieved what we set out to do. With Musafiri, Pushing Buttons Studios continues to strengthen its lineup of content centred on meaningful storytelling. The upcoming non-fiction series is designed to blend cultural exploration with visually engaging narratives, offering audiences an immersive experience that celebrates India's heritage while uncovering stories that deserve wider recognition.
