By and large, the seniors in the family, if sources are to go by, have ensured that they have minimal differences among themselves. (Photo by Joey Kyber from Pexels) The Hindu, TVS and Murugappa are iconic names in Chennai. They have something in common. Each one of them has four wings (rather families) within. In a larger family business conglomerate such as these, frictions aren't uncommon. But how do they stay together despite that? In the case of the TVS, the four families had for long an informal arrangement. Each one managed the companies they were running independently though there were cross-holdings between the companies managed by each family. Recently, they got together to legalise their informal divisions. Accordingly, cross-holdings were removed and each family has been allowed to manage the companies they are running hitherto independently. That was a smooth transition.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Lyle Lovett's masterful new record, 12th of June , is like a primer on the genius of Lovett. After opening with an instrumental jazz cover, "Cookin' At The Continental," the record covers the spectrum of Lovett's musical abilities. There are songs of humor like "Pants Is Overrated," jazzy tunes like "Straighten Up And Fly Right" and then there are songs of stunning, sheer beauty — the title track, "The Mocking Ones" and "Are We Dancing. For Lovett, who hadn't released a studio album in a decade, it was important to cover his full musical spectrum. "For somebody that hadn't heard the large band before, I wanted them to kind of know what it was about," he said when I spoke to him this week. "And then for folks that are familiar with my music, I wanted this record to feel like something that they would want to hear or would expect to hear." Lovett will be taking 12th of June tour this summer as part of a double bill … [Read more...] about Sunday Conversation: Lyle Lovett On New Music, Fatherhood, Songwriting, Cartoons And More

(CNN) TikTok posts about actor Johnny Depp's defamation trial against his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, have turned a stay-at-home mom based in Scotland into an accidental influencer. Or, perhaps more aptly, a DeppTok influencer. Sophie Doggett, whose TikTok was previously populated by videos on everyday things such as herself or her pets, posted to her TikTok account on April 25 a clip of Heard's lawyer asking a question of a witness and then immediately objecting to the response. It is one of many moments in the trial that has been seized upon by people like Doggett, as clips of testimony and references to the case have pervaded TikTok in a way that no trial has before. That's partly because the proceeding, set to resume Monday, is being livestreamed during the age of TikTok, and also because of the high-profile celebrities the case involves. Doggett, who paired the clip to playful music, said she gained 30,000 followers seemingly overnight from the post which has, to date, … [Read more...] about Dissection by TikTok: Johnny Depp, Amber Heard trial posts are making accidental influencers out of some, targets out of others

It was one of the more spectacular TV flops of the 21st century. Late in the second term of President George W. Bush, in 2007, Fox News decided that it had the right-wing alternative to Comedy Central’s popular and influential The Daily Show with Jon Stewart . The 1/2 Hour News Hour would puncture liberal pieties and media bias in the fashion that Stewart and his cast of fake correspondents fired barbs at conservatives and right-wing media like Fox News. The show tanked—hard—more or less after the pilot aired in February 2007. And with its failure, modern progressives (and future leftists) had all the evidence they needed: Conservatives weren’t funny. advertisement advertisement For the last 15 years, that take—frequently informed by one failed late-night show—has stuck among anyone who isn’t a conservative. But all the while, right wingers were making comedy—and succeeding. Some of it flew under the radar in subterranean clubs and YouTube channels, … [Read more...] about Why you need to take right-wing comedy seriously

John Lapus My star as a gay comedian has already faded,” declared actor John “Sweet” Lapus, who added that he has learned to embrace being a film and TV director the moment he made this realization about his showbiz career. “I’ve learned to accept it. My friends, who are now network bosses and producers, kept urging me to pursue directing film and TV shows. I agree with them because they know what they’re talking about—being a gay comedian has a time limit. I can no longer play sidekick to the lead actress because she is most likely way younger than me now,” Sweet told reporters during the media gathering for the sitcom “Jose & Maria’s Bonggang Villa,” which he is directing for GMA 7. Other talents “For the record, I still accept job offers as an actor because my talent fee as one is way higher than what I earn as a director,” Sweet pointed out. “I’ve learned to embrace being a director … the more I do, the more blessings come my way. I’ve been doing it for three years … [Read more...] about Direk John ‘Sweet’ Lapus says goodbye to being a gay comedian

Artwork by Daniella Marie Agacer MANILA, Philippines—When COVID-19 hit, death moved a step closer to immunocompromised people who were suffering from kidney or end stage kidney disease (ESKD) because the pandemic either blocked or disrupted access to the one treatment they needed most—dialysis. Dr. Carlo Trinidad, a nephrologist (specialist in kidney diseases), said that while data were lacking, there’s a consensus that there were kidney disease patients whose deaths were because of complications from “missed” dialysis treatments. He explained in Kidney International Reports’ “Perpetual Lockdown: The State of COVID-19 and Kidney Disease in the Philippines” that the complications often lead to hospitalization or death. Trinidad said some kidney disease patients were unable to continue dialysis because of lack of dialysis centers dedicated to kidney disease sufferers who also had COVID. Two other aggravating circumstances were loss of income as a result of COVID infection and … [Read more...] about COVID narrows door to dialysis, options for kidney disease patients

Congress president Sonia Gandhi Saturday appointed Amarinder Singh Brar (Raja Warring) as the party's new Punjab chief. Congress chief Sonia Gandhi on Friday launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, charging that it has become clear that his mantra of 'minimum government, maximum governance' means keeping the country in a permanent state of polarisation, "brutalising" minorities and "threatening" political opponents. In her inaugural address at the party's 'Chintan Shivir' here, she urged delegates to deliberate with an open mind and send out a clear message of strong organisation and unity. She said the Shivir is also an occasion to deliberate on the many challenges ahead of us and bring organisational changes. It is both 'Chintan' about national issues and meaningful 'aatmachintan' (self-introspection) about our party organisation, she said. Gandhi charged that it has become painfully clear what Prime Minister Modi and his colleagues really meany by … [Read more...] about Sonia Gandhi targets PM Modi at Congress’ Chintan Shivir, says minorities being ‘brutalised’
