Pippa is the brand-new Amazon Prime original, which trudges around the genres of war and coming-of-age drama. There is a lot of realism in the narrative, even though the screenplay had issues when it came to certain aspects of character development. Pippa is also about sibling dynamics amidst the East Pakistan war. This article will take the readers through what led to the war and how these siblings found their way back to each other.

Prologue
Pippa begins with Captain Balram Mehta’s voiceover narrating the history of East Pakistan, which involved constant conflict with West Pakistan over the question of language and lack of recognition for the Bengali population. This constant tussle between the two parts of the same country occurred mainly because of the geographical divide as well. It also caused widespread political upheaval, which forced the West Pakistani army to intervene.

Kabul, Nov 19 (Ians) Afghanistan on Saturday announced their 18-member squad for three Icc Cricket World Cup Super League ODIs against Sri Lanka, which will be played from November 25th to 30 in Kandy.
All-rounder Gulbadin Naib and the left-arm wrist-spinner Noor Ahmad have been added to the squad, who were not part of Afghanistan’s last Odi series, against Zimbabwe in early June when they blanked the hosts 3-0.
The 18-year-old Noor hasn’t yet made his Odi debut but has already built up quite the reputation in various T20 leagues around the world. He returned figures of 4 for 10 on his T20I debut — joint-best debut figures in a T20I involving two Full-Member teams — and was more recently part of Afghanistan’s 2022 Asia Cup squad.

India is the country of honor at the Cannes Film Market and consequently a massive contingent from the country is descending upon the Croisette. Variety understands that some 400 attendees are winging their way from India, and that French embassies across the country were working at capacity to issue visas.
That stands in contrast with the attendance from other parts of Asia, further East. Attendance of participants from Hong Kong and China is massively down compared with pre-covid times. Korean companies are back in respectable numbers, with some attending a physical market outside their home country for the first time in over two years. The solid attendance of Korean executives also reflects the selection of Korean films across multiple sections of the festival.
“I’m very excited to be back in Cannes, it has been three years for us,” said Danny Lee, senior manager at Contents Panda, part of the Next Entertainment World studio.

Dhaka, Dec 4 (Ians) A sculpture of Madhusudan Dey, who was brutally killed by the Pakistan Army in March 1971, was partially damaged by some unknown miscreants in the Dhaka University (Du) campus premises.
The incident took place on Wednesday night.
Arun Kumar Dey, youngest son of Madhusudan Dey and current operator of Madhur Canteen, said: "I was busy inside the canteen. At around 7.45 p.m., one of my staff suddenly noticed the partial damage of the sculpture and told me about it.
"I immediately informed the matter to Dhaka University proctor and officer-in-charge of Shahbagh Police Station. They visited the spot and took measure to repair it."
The left ear of the sculpture, placed in front of the iconic cafeteria named after him on the Du campus, was found broken and it was repaired at midnight.
Madhusudan Dey, who was fondly called as 'Madhu da', was far more than a mere cafeteria operator.
