I was living in LA, just one street over from where Marilyn had lived and died. I first read Blonde soon after it was published. In her Author’s Note, Oates writes, “ Blonde is a radically distilled ‘life’ in the form of fiction, and, for all its length, synecdoche is the principle of appropriation.” The same could be said of Oates’s Blonde. But any resemblance to the actual life of Marilyn Monroe is nonexistent in this adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates’s epic novel Blonde (2000). In particular, Ana de Armas is arresting in the lead role as she easily slips between the dueling personas of Marilyn and Norma Jeane Baker, just as Marilyn did in real life. To be fair, the reviews (rightfully) applaud the casting and performances. What went so very wrong in this depiction of Marilyn Monroe? It’s quickly become the top streaming film on Netflix, despite mixed reviews and headline-grabbing controversy that mostly centers on Dominik’s directing. General Rawat has been conferred the Param Vishisht Seva Medal, Uttam Yudh Seva Medal, Ati Vishisht Seva Medal, Vishisht Seva Medal, Yudh Seva Medal, and Sena Medal.It’s hard to avoid Blonde-the Andrew Dominik directed film that debuted last week on Netflix and in a limited theater release. Rawat was also integral to the United Nations Peacekeeping Force mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Countering militancy in the Northeast is among one of his most significant accomplishments.
Rawat had served as General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-C) Southern Command, Brigade Commander, General Staff Officer Grade 2 at the Military Operations Directorate, Colonel Military Secretary and Deputy Military Secretary in the Military Secretary’s Branch and Senior Instructor in the Junior Command Wing, during his service spanning four decades. He was widely respected for his expertise in counterinsurgency warfare and had served in some of the most dangerous terrains of India. Rawat, who was the first Chief of Defence Staff, spearheaded the transformation in the Indian military. His wife, Madhulika, also perished in the crash.
General Bipin Rawat, the soldier who created history, died in a chopper crash near Coonoor in Tamil Nadu.

Sikri's powerful performance in popular serial 'Balika Vadhu' as Dadi Sa earned her massive popularity among the TV audience.In her over four-decade-long career, the renowned artist worked alongside big names like Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani, Zoya Akhtar, among others. She had suffered the first brain stroke in September last year.The National School of Drama graduate, who spent around a decade exploring the theatre, made her movie debut with the political drama 'Kissa Kursi Ka' in 1978.
Veteran actress Surekha Sikri passed away on July 16 at the age of 75, following a cardiac arrest.The three-time National Award winning actress was suffering from complications caused due to a second brain stroke. Ghosh breathed his last, at the age of 86 on April 21. His ‘Sakalbelar Alo’, which talks about the Bengal partition is a wonderful introduction for young readers who are not yet familiar with his works. Ghosh wrote political poems like ‘Jamunaboti’ as well as penned the passionate and romantic, ‘Dinguli Raatguli’. Ghosh, despite his soft-spokenness never shied away from speaking up, and always walked in front of protest marches and rallies, whenever he found that his political idealism was triggered by petty squabbles of politicians, and their realpolitik. He complimented their flamboyance with restraint and nuance, with a romanticism that was undeniably tied with the idea of revolution. Despite being a contemporary of the ‘Hungry poets’, (who were part of an avant garde literary movement in Bengal in 1960s) Ghosh’s writing was markedly different from them. An eminent poet, Ghosh’s huge oeuvre of work made our lives as well as Bangla literature richer over the years.
