Came across this amazing series of 4 videos[part 1] on Safari's Youtube Channel about an official journey Mr Sibi Thomas(Police Officer, Actor - Thondimuthalum Driksaakshiyum) went on as part of an investigation which turned out to be quiet adventurous and thrilling. Enjoyed his genuine, engaging narration and upon a quick google search, realised Rajeev Ravi is making a movie on this incident. Pretty excited about the project.

The sad thing about watching this video is realising how this team of committed policemen (and I believe this is how it is for everyone) had to go through inconvenient modes of travel and accommodation while on the course of duty as opposed to getting convenient options like in a corporate firm or higher ranks within Govt service (Flight tickets etc. to fly back home after the operation).

PS: The 4 part video series is pretty detailed(Spoilers).

The Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 has adopted the final version of its report, and is expected to table it in Parliament during the upcoming Winter Session. Here, we look at the possible ways forward for the Data Protection Bill and highlight some of the issues that may emerge from the final report of the Committee. We guide you through the parliamentary process, next steps and the fundamental issues at play.

Introduction

At the end of the 2021 Monsoon Session of the Indian Parliament, Union Minister of State PP Chaudhary, the then newly appointed chairperson of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019, (“PDPB”), moved a motion seeking an extension till the first week of the Winter Session for submitting the report of the JPC. This motion was passed, and, once again, we were left waiting for the JPC’s much awaited report.

However, in the run up to the Winter Session, concrete media reports emerged which stated that the JPC was likely to adopt the final version of the report in November and table it during the Winter Session. Then, on 22nd November, multiple news outlets reported that the JPC had indeed adopted the report, though at least 7 members had moved dissent notes against the final version of the report (more on this later).

A quick recap

We have written extensively on the PDPB in the past (see our brief on the 2019 version of the Bill here). We have also written about the [workings of the Committee](https://internetfreedom.in/strengthening-the-working-

The director Rajeev Ravi had announced that the actual duration of the movie was 4 hours, but it was later reduced to 3 hours in order to make the movie more audience-friendly. The DVD version of Kammatipaadam was going to have a run-time of 4 hours and the audiences were going to get an opportunity to watch the scenes removed by the censor board and other deleted scenes.

Is it ever going to release?

One of the most recognized faces of modern Indian cinema, Anurag Kashyap is a filmmaker who's adored by his fans in India and respected by his peers everywhere. He has a penchant to shock audiences with his bold narratives that highlight the hypocrisy prevalent in our society. His films always manage to arouse curiosity and polarise opinions. Love him or hate him, but you cannot ignore him.

Especially now, when his biggest film yet, Bombay Velvet is all set to release this Friday. Starring reigning heartthrobs, Ranbir Kapoor & Anushka Sharma, the film has a stellar cast of supporting actors that includes Kay Kay Menon & Manish Chaudhary. The film also stars producer-director Karan Johar in a key role.

Bombay Velvet has been on Anurag's mind for nearly a decade. Now, 9 years after the team started working on it, the film is here. Not many know the journey that Anurag has undergone to make the film. We sat down with him at his Yari road house and had an extensive and candid chat on the genesis of Bombay Velvet, the old Bombay of the 60's, his cinematic choices and characters in his films.

What really hooked you onto Bombay Velvet?

I am a voracious reader. When LA confidential was going to come out, I wanted to read the whole book, before it came out.

There is a large chunk of the book that is not in the film. I was very curious as to why they eliminated those parts. In that process I realized that LA Confidential was a part of quartet of books on Los Angeles. So I went back and read the other three books, Black Daliah, Big Nowhere, White Jazz. This was way back in 2000, much before I made Paanch. But the curiosity remained.

In 2004, when I got my passport I took a flight and landed up in Los Angeles. And the first thing I did was go on a journey of the city; finding places where Ellroy had written the books, the places Ellroy had written about. I soon learnt that a lot of it was

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

When I got home, they were still there.

The Parliament Is In Session. And India's Incoming Data Laws need your urgent attention.

Tl;dr

The report of the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 is to be submitted next week. Here, we look at the possible ways forward for the Bill, highlight some of the issues that may emerge, and provide recommendations for addressing them.

Background

Last year, several media reports indicated that the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 would submit its report to the Parliament during the Budget session. However, as we know, that did not happen. In fact, on March 25, 2021 a motion was moved to extend the time for the presentation of the report and was adopted the very same day. Thus, the report of the Committee is now scheduled to be presented in the first week of the upcoming Monsoon Session i.e. the week starting 19th July. The speaker of the Lok Sabha has also explicitly stated that no further extension will be granted to the committee.

In recent time, we have written extensively on the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 through:

• Our #StartFromScratch series, which was a short introduction to the Bill which included some historical and legislative context, a summary of the Bill, an overview of the issues with the Bill, and possible alternative paradigms for data protection.
• Next, through our #DataProtectionTop10 series, wherein we analysed the top 10 issues with the Bill in detail.
• Currently, through our #PrivacyOfThePeople series which is looking at how the Bill will impact our dail
