India is listening to Atif Aslam's Wohi Khuda Hai
He delivers a tremendously moving performance with soaring vocals and many delicate touches as well. While Aslam's rendition will draw comparisons with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the two versions are different enough that they can't really be compared in any fair manner. The way the song has been arranged holds up Aslam's voice and backs it up with great effect. The instruments never really try to draw attention to themselves but instead act in unison to create the atmosphere needed to deliver this song in all its glory. Perhaps the most memorable moment in the song comes towards its end when all the instruments except for one low note playing on a synthesizer is the only thing that backs up Aslam's voice. This bare section of the song shows just how much thought has gone into its execution. On the whole, 'Wohi Khuda Hai' is a haunting and beautiful rework that stays with you long after it has stopped playing. Who Will Love It: Fans of Atif Aslam and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The Good: Atif Aslam's voice, the instrumentation. The Bad: The song's length may put off some listeners. The Verdict: This song is well worth listening to, preferably with time on your hands.

One size, fits all: NASA unveils new spacesuit prototypes for missions
'What you saw today was a prototype of the pressure garment. The life support system is back in a lab in Houston,' he said. 'We want systems that allow our astronauts to be scientists on the surface of the moon' The Trump administration in March directed NASA to land humans on the moon by 2024,accelerating a goal to colonize the moon as a staging ground for eventual missions to Mars. One suit of orange fabric will be worn by astronauts when inside the spacecraft. Astronauts will wear a much bigger mostly white suit on the lunar surface. The new suits make it much easier to walk, bend and squat when walking on the lunar surface, Amy Ross, NASA's lead spacesuit engineer, said. 'Basically, my job is to take a basketball, shape it like a human, keep them alive in a harsh environment, and give them the mobility to do their job,' she said. The new suits come as a much-needed upgrade to NASA's astronaut wardrobe. Astronauts Christina Koch and Anne McClain were slated in March to conduct the first ever all-female spacewalk outside the International Space Station, but the mission was called off because there weren't enough spacesuits available on the station for both of them. Another attempt for the first all-female spacewalk, a roughly six-hour crawl on the exterior of the space station to install new batteries, is back on for Thursday, NASA said in a news release on Tuesday.

Danill Medvedev mauls Alexander Zverev to lift Shanghai Masters title
Yet Medvedev then served out the match with an emphatic ace to claim his second consecutive ATP Masters 1000 crown following his triumph in Cincinnati. When asked why he does not like celebrating his victories on court, Medvedev quipped: 'I said it after Cincinnati I think that everyone has been talking that they want to see something new. So I don't celebrate my wins, just get the win and it's done.' Medvedev enjoyed a near-flawless week in Shanghai - claiming the title without dropping a set all week - as he continues as the incredible second half of the season. The world number four improved his 2019 win-loss record to 59-17, including a Tour-leading 46 victories on hard courts this season. He has already qualified for the season-ending ATP Finals in London, alongside Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer, Dominic Thiem and Stefanos Tsitsipas. Among the next generation of players coming through, Medvedev is widely tipped to break the stranglehold of the 'Big Three' - Djokovic, Nadal and Federer - at the top of the sport and become a regular Grand Slam contender next season. 'It is outrageous what I have done in the last few months,' Medvedev said. 'I have worked for it and I hope I'm gonna do much more.' With two spots in the London finals still up for grabs, Zverev is in pole position to qualify as he currently occupies the seventh spot in the qualification race.

Google abandons Pixel 4 India launch
What this means is that if Google were to launch these handsets in India, it would need to launch them with Soli disabled. With this feature omitted from the devices, there would be no touch-less gestures as well as no face unlock; due to the fact that Soli is required for it. Additionally, the Pixel devices feature no fingerprint sensor or any additional type of biometric authentication in-built which means that the user experience would be hampered. , the huge forehead on the top would be quite pointless. As per a related report by GSMArena, 'So with all this in mind, Google's decision to abandon the launch of its newest phones in India seems rather reasonable. It probably doesn't hurt a lot financially ether, as sales numbers of previous Pixels in the subcontinent probably haven't been outstanding anyway.' So, this is why the Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL won't be launched here. ... DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
