Mumbai, 30th April 2021: Many times we wonder what it would be like to do magic. Actor Himmanshoo Malhotra, one of the most known faces in the television industry is one such actor who wonders the same. He is presently seen in Dangal TV's popular fantasy show Nikki Aur Jadui Bubble playing the role of a magician Shiv. Being a magician on screen got him further intrigued with magic and how wonderful it would be if he could possess magical power. One of the reasons he picked up the show was for magic. He shares what he would do if he had magical powers in real life.

Sharing one wish of him he would love to do, Himanshoo says, “This is obvious but like many others, I too would love to heal the world, there is so much poverty, people are suffering and are sick. Be it emotionally or mentally or even physically. If I had healing powers that would be fantastic. But I have immense faith in God, he would protect the good”

He also adds, “It is scary looking at the rise in covid-19 cases. My colleagues and many actors are testing positive. But I am not fearful. I believe as per work is concerned, it is important to have some courage because if you don't work, you emotionally and mentally go down and then it really troubles you and your brain. But I would definitely want to work in the pandemic as well.”

Like Himanshoo we are sure many children as well adults carry a similar wish in their hearts.

मुंबई, 30 अप्रैल 2021: कई बार हमें आश्चर्य होता है कि जादू करना कैसा होगा। टेलीविजन जगत के सबसे चर्चित चेहरों में से एक हिमांशु मल्होत्रा हैं जो इस विषय पर सोचते है। वह वर्तमान में दंगल टीवी के लोकप्रिय फैंटसी शो निक्की और जादुई बबल में जादूगर शिव की भूमिका निभाते हुए दिखाई दे रहे हैं। ऑन स्क्रीन जादूगर होने के कारण वह इस बारे में और विचार करने लगे कि यदि उनके पास जादुई शक्तियां होती तो वह कितना अद्भुत होता। वह साझा करते है कि वास्तविक जीवन में जादुई शक्तियां होने पर वह क्या करेंगे।

अपनी एक इच्छा को साझा करते हुए जो वह करना पसंद करेंगे, हिमांशु कहते हैं, "अन्य लोगों की तरह, मैं भी दुनिया को ठीक, उसकी सारी प्रोब्लम दूर करना पसंद करूंगा, हर तरफ इतनी गरीबी है, लोग पीड़ित और बीमार हैं। चाहे वह भावनात्मक या मानसिक या शारीरिक रूप से हो। अगर मेरे पास हीलिंग करने की शक्तियां होती तो शानदार होता। लेकिन मुझे ईश्वर पर अटूट विश्वास है, वह लोगों की रक्षा करेगा”

उन्होंने यह भी कहा, "मेरे सहयोगी और कई अभिनेता कोविद -19 पॉजिटिव टेस्ट कर रहे हैं। लेकिन मैं भयभीत नहीं हूं। मेरा मानना है कि काम के अनुसार, साहस होना जरूरी है क्योंकि अगर आप काम नहीं करते हैं, तो आप भावनात्मक और मानसिक रूप से परेशान हो सकते हो और फिर यह आपको और आपके मस्तिष्क को परेशान करता है। लेकिन मैं निश्चित रूप से महामारी में भी काम करना चाहूंगा। ”

हिमांशु की तरह हमें यकीन है कि बहुत से बच्चे और बड़े भी अपने दिलों में भी इसी तरह की इच्छा रखते हैं।

Fateh’s love, Jasmin’s dream and Tejo’s sensibility in COLORS recent launch Udaariyaan has already won many hearts. The Punjabi flavour and the twist have kept the audience engaged. Keeping the entertainment going, there is something super exciting coming up.

In the upcoming episode, the audience will witness Tejo and her family being looted by groom. In the quest to catch hold of him and save Tejo, Jasmine and Fateh come up with a plan. Adding a fun twist, the duo disguises themselves in bold avatars to approach the goons. Jasmine's look of a city girl which is completely opposite to her character will surely leave the audience awestruck. On the other hand, Fateh will don an avatar of an office boy.

The going gets tough when Jasmine lands into trouble and the goon points a gun at her.

Talking about her new look Jasmine said, "While I started out as a sweet village belle, this new track will have the viewers see me in a completely new avatar. It is an absolute makeover! I will be playing Meera, a modern girl who sports high heels, dark shades, slick western clothes. Everyone including the cast and the crew were quite surprised with this new look! It's a good change and I am absolutely enjoying shooting for the track. I can't wait for my fans to check out Jasmine's new avatar as Meera!”

Talking about his new avatar Fateh said, “This is a very interesting track that shows how far Fateh is ready to go for Jasmine. He is even ready to shed his image and pose as an office boy. This also puts me outside my comfort zone given that I had to re-invent everything about my character Fateh, which is a great thing for any actor. I'm sure that our viewers are going to love this thrilling track."

• Inorganic pigments certified for use in UHPC

•Enhancing the attractiveness of this sustainable construction material

Cologne, April 30, 2021 – Ultra-high-performance concretes (UHPCs) are reckoned to be the construction material of the future. When they are colored, however, you have to ensure that the prescribed compressive strength of more than 150 megapascals is still achieved. The iron oxide pigments from LANXESS’s Bayferrox brand are perfect for UHPCs, as has been verified by the association of German cement manufacturers (VDZ) based on an analysis of compressive strength conducted to DIN EN 12390-3.

“Architects and clients can have every confidence in our high-quality pigments for coloring UHPC,” says Oliver Fleschentraeger, Market Segment Manager Construction of the Inorganic Pigments business unit at LANXESS. The iron oxide pigments come in red, yellow, and black, with numerous color nuances possible within these shades. “As far as we know, Bayferrox pigments are the only iron oxide pigments on the market that are specially certified for use in UHPC,” says Fleschentraeger.

Pressure-resistant, colorful, and environmentally sound

The quantity of materials used is a key metric when it comes to assessing a building’s carbon footprint. Not only the choice of materials but also the production chain and construction process are also crucial. So to save materials and energy and to reduce CO2 emissions during manufacture, planners and architects are increasingly using highly sophisticated high-performance components made from UHPC. In addition to the enormous resource savings of up to 80%, material-friendly designs reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the manufacturing phase by up to 30%. “A significant and pleasing side effect of UHPC is its high resource efficiency, which makes it easier for engineers to meet the demand for sustainable designs,” says Dr. Michael Olipitz, a certified expert in the fields of superstructure, bridge-building, steel structures and structural engineering, and General Manager of the engineering office SDO ZT GmbH based in Graz, Austria. Inorganic iron oxide pigments can provide long-lasting visual enhancement to these structures or even effectively contextualize them with their surroundings – without affecting the rheology or flow behavior of the concrete.

Delicacy and solidity go hand in hand

One spectacular architectural application of colored UHPC is the Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean (MuCEM) in Marseille, in the south of France. With the exception of two glazed facades, the museum – including most of the roof – is encased in a lattice-like concrete structure comprising concrete panels just 10 centimeters thick. The French architect Rudi Ricciotti made a conscious decision to color the concrete dark gray to lend the building its own identity within its surroundings and as a stark contrast against the color of the facade. The precast concrete elements were colored with Bayferrox 330 and Bayferrox 318 from LANXESS.

Another benefit of the high-quality Bayferrox pigments is that the concrete, once colored, retains its characteristic texture and exhibits subtle color nuances, lending the surface a natural appearance. In addition, there are no layers of paint that can flake off of the surface through wear and weathering. Even if the surface is slightly damaged, the color remains as vivid as ever. This is why iron oxide pigments are the perfect choice for coloring ultra-high-performance concretes, which, with a projected lifetime of more than 150 years, are around twice as durable as conventional concrete.
