That’s exactly what people think when the name of this movie comes. When the entire industry saw quick movies that came and went, this movie came subtly and settled in our hearts forever.

The character of Madhav Shastri (Maddy), played by R Madhavan; a perfect blend of a macho man and a sensitive romantic lover, the character became an ideal look for every engineering student. Everyone must have surely tried to light the matchstick just like him, at least once! How can one forget to mention Maddy’s not so cool but loyal friends, and how every teenager wanted a dad like his who would support his son’s love.

Closing the eyes before deciding between two options became so iconic that people still follow it while facing tough situations. Every time a cruiser bike passes it feels like Madhav Shastri is going somewhere. A guy who is thinking about his Reena all the time.

Reena Malhotra? Played by Dia Mirza, who’s address is by heart to us even today simply because of the emphasis laid on the beautiful love story.

Address- 30, Gulmohar Cross Road, Juhu Scheme, Mumbai – 49
Telephone – 6223222

Who would have thought eating roadside pani puri will become a dating trend. All of us know these details for sure, Maddy made us love, hate and again love Reena in just 2 hours.From fooling her to dating her for 5 days, from fighting Rajiv in college to fighting him for Reena, from Aamchi Mumbai to San Francisco, Maddy did everything a lover could, to get the love of his life, clearly justifying the term – ‘everything is fair in love and war’.

No matter what people say, we all cherish this evergreen movie and it will always remain in our hearts just like the name of the movie speaks of it!

Moreover, with the recent pan-India mega successes of Southern blockbusters like KGF and Pushpa, the anticipation has reached even further. The striking transformational avatars of Chiyaan Vikram have been curated by none other than character designer Preetisheel Singh D’souza, who heads India’s No.1 hair, makeup and prosthetic studio Da Makeup Lab.

Sharing her thoughts on social media, Preetisheel had earlier posted a video of some of the appearances with a caption that read, “One man, different avatars.”

It gave a little insight about what went into the making of the various look transformations the actor underwent for the movie.

Earlier, the National Award-winning character designer Preetisheel has given us stunning makeovers for stars in films like Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat, Gangubai Kathiawadi, Housefull 4, Chhichhore as well as Pushpa: The Rise.

In fact, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that her efforts for Cobra has taken the creative work to an all new level, matching Hollywood standards. Chiyaan Vikram is unrecognizable in his various avatars, with his unique looks contributing to an amazing screen presence — something seen to be believed.

4. Sheryl Sandberg

In 2007, Sandberg met the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, at a party. While not even looking for a COO at the time, Zuckerberg felt that Sandberg was a perfect fit for the company. She would take on the role in 2008 and has held it ever since.

The development of effective vaccines offers us the best hope in strengthening our global effort to end the COVID-19 pandemic. Taking advantage of a well-established medical recordkeeping system and a wealth of public health datasets, many developed countries are already measuring VE for their populations using test-negative design (TND) – the prevailing VE measurement which compares the vaccination status of persons receiving either positive or negative results in the same test.

But measuring VE could be difficult for low- and middle-income countries. This is because while the health authorities in these countries may know how many people in the total population were vaccinated, infected, or hospitalized, they often don’t know whether a particular person who tested positive was vaccinated or not. Without such knowledge of personal vaccination status, the standard TND methodology could not be used.

As a result, current VE study efforts tend to be skewed toward the world’s more affluent countries. For example, VIEW-hub, a comprehensive database of 249 COVID VE studies (as of early May 2022), contains only 16 large-scale studies (50,000+ subjects) from low- and middle-income countries – of which half are from Brazil. Much of Asia and Africa is left out in the database, and such underrepresentation may create an information void for public policy in some of the most populous countries in the world.

Now, a research team led by Prof. Abhiroop MUKHERJEE and Prof. George PANAYOTOV from HKUST and Prof. Rik SEN from the University of New South Wales has demonstrated how to estimate VE even in the absence of such personal data. The team exploits the fact that many governments applied age-based eligibility cut-offs when rolling out their vaccination programs – meaning that at some point citizens above the cut-off age are eligible for vaccination, whereas those below are not.

Using a simple statistical model called the Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD), the team then compared the various COVID outcomes (positive cases, positive cases with high CT value, hospitalizations, deaths) of groups of individuals above and below the cut-off age. These groups are very close in age, and hence assumed identical in terms of health conditions or their exposure to disease. This allows one to calculate VE with less data than required by standard VE methods. A key input for RDD-based VE measure is the proportional drop in COVID outcomes at the cut-off age, which is factored into the calculation along other inputs, including the vaccination rates corresponding to the same age groups.

In their application of the above RDD method and an extended measure called breakthrough-based RDD to public health data in India, the team has found that even one dose of the vaccines used were 55% effective against infection and 80% against hospitalizations during the Delta wave in early 2021. The data contain over 8 million observations on COVID-19 vaccinations and testing, as well as 140,000+ hospitalizations in West Bengal, an eastern state in India, where a 45-year age cut-off was imposed from March to April 2021.

The research findings were recently published in Science Advances.

“VE could differ between populations as individual countries’ pre-existing exposure to COVID-19 could vary. Helping individual countries to understand whether and how well vaccines are working for their populations can help ascertain vaccination policy. For example, if a country finds that the one-dose VE for its population is high enough, it might make sense for them to provide first doses to more people, rather than insisting on two doses for fewer people – if vaccines are scarce,” said Prof. Mukherjee, also the Liwei Huang Associate Professor of Business at HKUST. “Having accurate VE estimates can also help health authorities decide whether vaccinated populations will be spared severe outcomes, which is critical for deciding whether to ‘live with the virus’.”

Prof. Mukherjee added that almost all countries used – and are still using – age eligibility criteria for COVID vaccines, so the RDD measures are widely applicable, and will be particularly helpful in data-deficient countries where public health data infrastructure is not good enough to apply standard VE measurements.

The center will focus on innovations that transform storage and data management. These are areas in which India can play a global role. The acceleration of digital transformation around the world is fueling the growth of data, specifically unstructured data such as video, picture and audio files. This is creating demand for professionals who are experts in solutions that store, manage, protect and analyze such data.

A new study conducted by Pure Storage with market research by Zinnov, a management consulting firm, indicated that there are over 700,000 professionals in India with the relevant data management skills. This is around 14 percent of the total technology workforce in the country and is poised to grow further. In relation to the rest of the world, India makes up more than 10 percent of the worldwide talent pool of data management professionals and more than a quarter of Asia Pacific. Even more encouraging is the fact that more than three-quarters of the existing Indian talent will reach an advanced level in their experience in 5 years, which puts India in a good place as a source for data management skills.

“We are excited to see another leading global technology company commit to investment in India and the Karnataka region. Pure Storage is providing an opportunity for Indian talent to contribute to technologies that are in demand around the world,” said Dr. Narayan. “India has long been a source of technology talent and we have to stay ahead of the game. With data continuing to grow in volume and complexity, the skills to manage, protect and move it around in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, will become even more in demand and it’s important for Karnataka to be involved in this movement.”

“Innovation is at the core of everything that we do. We strongly believe that talent knows no boundaries and can be found across all regions. This approach encourages a culture of inclusivity, new ways of thinking, customer centricity and provides an opportunity to develop skills to build products across the globe. The India R&D center will further foster data management capabilities in India while ensuring Pure’s global customers benefit from this abundance of talent,” said Ajay Singh, Chief Product Officer, Pure Storage.

Pure Storage has a robust portfolio of data management solutions which include FlashArray™, FlashBlade®, FlashStack®, AIRI®, Pure as-a-Service™, Portworx®, Pure1®, Evergreen™, Pure Cloud Block Store and Purity. The India R&D Center will contribute to the continued innovation in most of these product lines. It will be run with the same start-up mind-set designed to encourage a culture of innovation and customer-centricity. This philosophy has translated into Pure Storage being recognized as an employer of choice with 92 percent of employees saying that it is a great place to work compared with the average of 59 percent for other US-based companies.
