'Andhra Pradesh may have 3 capitals,' says CM Jagan Reddy
They are required. We have to think on those lines seriously," he said, but added that a final call would be taken only after the expert committee constituted to look into the issue submitted its report. The Committee report is expected in the next few days. Indicating that the government (Secretariat and heads of departments) could shift to Visakhapatnam, the Chief Minister pointed out that the port has the required facilities. "Vizag has all the facilities. Only Metro (rail) is required," Jagan Reddy noted. Stating that development of Amaravati into a full-fledged capital city required at least Rs one lakh crore, the Chief Minister wondered where the money would come from. ...

When it feels like the world is going bananas
To add insult to injury, Comedian sold three times over for between $120,000 to $150,000, notwithstanding the fact that three-fourths of the installation, the rotting fruit, cannot survive a week. I'm no connoisseur of fine art and the metaphysical meaning behind this banana, if any, eludes me completely. In fact, at the risk of sounding like a complete dolt, it has occurred to me that there is something to cheer that I can tape a banana on a wall and claim to own an artwork worth a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. But, then again, why would I want to? The very idea of a banana as a mounted display is seriously weird and only an idiot would decorate their house like this. (I am not the only genius who thought of this, Brooke Shields taped a banana to her forehead and tweeted with the tagline: 'An expensive selfie'.) Perhaps, on the other hand, Cattelan is the most subversive artist alive, who's simply making the point that not everything selling for 150K is worth buying and that when we look at art, we shouldn't go by price tags. What the critics hailing Cattelan's originality are saying is that of course that wretched banana is ridiculous, and the rich collectors falling for it need to question their own foolish pretensions. At least that's what I understood of it, though it is all very twisted and confusing. I suspect there are plenty of people like me who are caught in a time warp when it comes to appreciating, or simply understanding contemporary art. Because, for those of us who grew up in the '70s and '80s, it was barely a thing and unless you came from a family of artists, exposure to modern works was very limited. Only a privileged few who had insider access to museums developed some discernment while the rest of us referred to books on artists, like the tragic and strange life of Vincent van Gogh immortalised in Lust for Life to interpret artistic expression. Obviously those who cut their aesthetic teeth on the vivid and light colours of Monet's Impression, Sunrise or Van Gogh's vibrant sunflowers will gravitate towards beauty more classically portrayed, than an inside joke that Cattelan's sculpture (if you can call it that) appears to be. One can't help but be nostalgic for a time when artistic concepts weren't so abstract and didn't confuse viewers like this, by being a fruit. Maybe he spent many painstaking hours coming up with this concept: one must not grudge Cattelan's his incredible good fortune that his spectacle so completely captured the world's imagination. The banana provoked, stirred and jolted the audience, tragically, much more than the humongous ice sculpture of Greta Thunberg's powerful words 'How Dare You' quietly, and profoundly melting away at Art Basel. Perhaps we need another wild and gimmicky artwork that'll explain why people respond to absurdity so much more, than to a crisis. hutkayfilms@gmail.com DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

After police rampage, exodus from Delhi starts
I wanted to support the students in the protest against Citizenship (Amendment) Act and thus I went to Friend's Colony and joined the protest around 4:30pm. The protest, though it attracted thousands of students, was very peaceful. Within just 15 minutes when the crowd reached (Sarai) Jullena, the police started lathi charge and using teargas," said Afreen, an entrepreneur who has been living in Delhi for the past two-and-half years."The crowd scattered in fear. The police gave no prior intimation. I somehow saved myself, seeking refuge in a private property. I too felt suffocated due to the teargas and saw people crying too. The situation was really bad. I saw people who were bleeding. I also saw a woman in her fifties who was injured and was being taken by students to a safer place," Afreen said."It was an experience I will not forget soon. The place where I live was swarmed by police and by then the policemen had entered Jamia Millia Islamia University and had started creating ruckus," she added.Steel city youth Israr-ul-Haque, 25, who stays in the Batla House area, had to walk over 10km to reach his place and then shifted to Shaheen Bagh at a friend's place. He was attending his digital marketing classes in Noida when the news broke. Usually he takes a Metro from Botanical Gardens to Jamia Millia Islamia but on Monday the Metro lines were blocked and Israr had to get off the train at Kalindi Kunj."I may have walked for more than 10km yesterday (Sunday). The entire aware was filled with police. I somehow grabbed some of my essentials and went to Shaheen Bagh to stay with my friend which is a safer zone about 3km from my place," said Israr, who works as a public relations manager. He said he would come home on December 24 if the situation was stable."The police and the politicians must understand that they are aggravating an already tense situation," said Subrata Laik, an MBA student of Arka Jain University in Gamharia. "As a student, I am now just praying for peace." DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

In the lap of lush
It has been strategically designed to incorporate a forest-like green cover around itself. Right from the warm welcome to the fantastic multi-tier regal yet earthy property that's an architectural marvel-grey kaya stones and abundant foliage have been juxtaposed in different gradients resulting in a visual and spatial harmony-to the lavish suites to charm the guests, and of course, the sumptuous breakfasts and high tea served on a deck overlooking the majestic Aravalis, the experience is ethereal. The property is a hotspot for destination weddings with its sprawling lawns, romantic environs and decadent luxury on offer. But there's plenty for other visitors too. One can read books in the villa balcony, be one with nature, while squirrels and birds go about their lives. Or, book a spa at the in-house Sohum Spa. We would recommend the Vanilla and Cocoa Body Scrub just because the aroma leaves you in a redolent zone. Follow it up with the Swedish Massage where the languid strokes applied by the masseur will eke out the last remnants of tiredness from you. After you have replenished your soul, how about the stomach? Food here is a smorgasbord of the best that sight, smell and taste can regale the culinary connoisseur. Do try their tandoori chicken. Or, go for the laal maas and gatta curry that are finger-licking good. Not to speak of, in the Rajasthani thali, a mean Jodhpuri pulao (team it up with murg ka mokul), vermicelli rice (addictive), daal-bati-churma and decadent malpua, ghewar, baked curd and tiramisu. Ramada Udaipur doesn't sell holidays, it gifts you experiences-rich and diverse-that make for sensual memories.
