"Green Methi Not Allowed": Student Charged Rs 20 Over School Tiffin

A row has broken out at a school in Maharashtra's Bhayandar after allegations that a student was charged for bringing fenugreek in their tiffin during the Jain festival of Paryushan, days after similar claims surfaced over onions, potatoes and other vegetables.

A student at Tapovan School in Bhayandar East reportedly brought a fenugreek (methi) dish from home in their tiffin. According to allegations, the school then wrote a note in the student's diary stating, "Fenugreek is a banned vegetable."

The student was reportedly not allowed to eat the food brought from home. Instead, they were given food from the school canteen and charged Rs 20 for it.

It is claimed that root vegetables (kandmool) and items such as fenugreek have been restricted at the school because of the large number of Jain students enrolled there, tying the move to dietary practices observed during Paryushan (an annual holy event in Jainism).

This is not the first such allegation against the school. Reports had previously emerged that students were being fined Rs 50 for bringing onions, potatoes, ginger, beetroot and carrots in their tiffins during the same festival.

A complaint over that fine was filed by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). Acting on the complaint, Sulbha Vathare, Education Officer of the Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation, issued a show-cause notice to the school on 17 September.

An explanation has been sought from Tapovan Vidyalaya regarding the matter, but the school has not yet made any official statement.

Tom Brady's Moment Has Julian Edelman And Rob Gronkowski Reacting

Tom Brady is still finding his voice in the FOX Sports booth, and one Cowboys vs. Commanders game gave fans something they did not expect. The former quarterback reacted strongly during the broadcast and let a few words slip. He also used a colorful phrase while praising Dak Prescott's deep pass to CeeDee Lamb. Instead of seeing it as a major issue, former Patriots teammates Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski enjoyed the change. They felt Brady looked more relaxed, natural and comfortable while calling the game.

Julian Edelman And Rob Gronkowski Say Tom Brady Is Finally Showing His Human Side

Edelman discussed Brady's broadcast on The Gronk & Jules Show and said the former quarterback's reaction made him seem more real.

“I think he's showing that he's human,” Julian Edelman said. “My favorite by far was the piss missile. Dak Prescott had a piss missile sideline hole shot. Piss missile. Shout out to Brady for, you know, giving us some entertainment.”

Gronkowski also liked the change. He said Brady appeared to be getting more comfortable in his new role.

“Also, it shows he's getting super comfortable, man,” Gronkowski said. “Which is great for everyone in football. Thank you, Tom, you're a good guy. Finally, you entertain Jules and I. We've been entertaining you our whole career.

???? Apparently Tom Brady saying “absolute piss missile” during the Cowboys game has people shocked. ????

I'm sorry WHAT?

This is Tom fucking Brady.

He spent 23 YEARS in NFL locker rooms.

Did you people think the GOAT was standing behind center going:

Brady's first slip came after Jayden Daniels was shown getting hurt during the game. The former quarterback reacted by saying, “Oh s—!” before quickly adding, “Excuse me. Was not expecting to see that.”

Tom Brady's Dak Prescott Comment And Stefon Diggs Joke Added More Attention

The Daniels reaction was followed by another memorable moment. Prescott later connected with Lamb on a deep throw near the sideline. Brady praised the pass and called it an “absolute piss missile.”

He then explained why the throw worked. Brady pointed to Washington's Cover 2 defense, Lamb finding the open area and Prescott making the throw from a clean pocket.

Brady also had something to say about Stefon Diggs. The Commanders receiver had been fined after a Week 1 goalpost celebration. When Diggs appeared ready to repeat the celebration, Brady joked, “No more humping the goalpost for Diggs.”

The comments show a different side of Brady than fans saw during his playing career. He has previously said that his job is to explain what he sees while remembering how difficult NFL football can be.

Edelman and Gronkowski appeared to see the same thing in Brady's recent broadcast. To them, the former Patriots star was simply becoming more comfortable behind the microphone.

Brady joined FOX Sports after retiring from the NFL in 2023. His broadcast career has already brought plenty of attention, but his latest moments suggest fans are seeing a more relaxed side of the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

Trade Setup For Sept 22: Nifty Bulls Eye 23,550 Breakout As Sub-$100 Oil Flips Sentiment

Indian equity markets could remain range-bound in Tuesday's session as the Nifty faces a crucial resistance zone around 23,520-23,550 amid persistent geopolitical uncertainty and elevated energy prices. This comes as GIFT Nifty rises 0.34% to 23,519.50 after Brent crude fell below $100.

According to Sudeep Shah, Head - Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities, the 23,520-23,550 zone is likely to act as an important resistance area for the Nifty in the near term. "A sustained move above 23,550 could extend the ongoing pullback rally towards the 23,700 mark in the short term," Shah said.

On the downside, the 23,330-23,300 zone is expected to provide crucial support. Shah said a breach below 23,300 could weaken the near-term structure and potentially result in the index resuming its corrective trend.

Market participants are also keeping a close watch on crude oil prices and geopolitical developments, which could influence the sustainability of the recent recovery in Indian equities.

"While Indian equities ended on a firmer note, persistent geopolitical uncertainty and still-elevated energy prices continue to warrant a cautious approach. The durability of the recent recovery is likely to depend on sustained stability in crude oil prices and greater clarity on the geopolitical front," said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.

Hariselvan Radhakrishnan, Founder and CEO of HST Wealth, said softer oil prices and contained volatility could provide room for the recovery to extend. He added that investors would focus on core-sector data, crude oil prices and global bond yields ahead of Tuesday's session to assess whether the recent rebound can gather further momentum.

Bank Nifty Outlook

Bank Nifty ended higher after opening on a flat note and remaining in consolidation for most of the session. The index gradually moved higher during the second half, approaching the 56,700 mark before closing near 56,470, according to Enrich Money's Ponmudi R.

For Tuesday's trade, immediate resistance for Bank Nifty is placed at 56,700-56,800. A sustained move above 57,000 could strengthen the near-term technical structure.

On the downside, immediate support is seen at 56,000-56,100. A failure to sustain this zone could extend weakness towards the next support level of 55,700-55,800, Ponmudi said.

Asian Games Forced To Apologise After Anthem Blunder In South Korea Match

Asian Games organisers offered "deepest apologies" on Saturday for playing the North Korean national anthem for the South Korean men's hockey team. South Korean officials were left angered by the latest mishap to hit the Nagoya-Aichi Games, which officially opened after a troubled build-up. At their Friday contest against Bangladesh, South Korea's players lined up for the traditional playing of the anthems, only to look bemused as North Korea's song rang out. Organisers then played Bangladesh's anthem and later the South Korean one, the South's Yonhap news agency said. South Korea went on to win 5-0.

"During the men's hockey match between (South) Korea and Bangladesh on September 18, an incorrect national anthem was mistakenly played before the match," the Asian Games organising committee told AFP on Saturday.

The statement said that, on Friday, "officials responsible for (National Olympic Committee) relations visited the delegation of the Republic of Korea and offered their sincere apologies for the incident".

"We will also work to prevent a recurrence and would like to express our deepest apologies to all those affected by this matter."

A stadium announcer apologised for the blunder but Min Tae-seok, coach of South Korea, was unimpressed.

"This is a really serious problem. When we protested, they said, 'We're sorry. It wasn't that it wasn't prepared, there was a mistake on the part of those responsible for playing it'," he said.

"But this is something that simply should never happen."

The build-up to the Games has been overshadowed by complaints from teams about the quality and amount of accommodation.

Some teams were also stranded at the airport for up to six hours when they landed this week.

Toxic Vs Hanuman Ansh Box Office Collection: Spiritual Drama Scores Big In Week 6

The devotional film earned a staggering Rs 6.11 crore more than the Yash starrer, highlighting its extraordinary staying power at the box office.

Hanuman Ansh Shows Sixth-Week Momentum

Hanuman Ansh collected Rs 6.25 crore net on Day 42, across 9,160 shows in India. The film's India net collection has now reached Rs 243.38 crore, while its India gross collection stands at Rs 287.40 crore.

Overseas, the film collected Rs 1.50 crore on Day 42, taking its total overseas gross to Rs 21.75 crore so far. This pushes the worldwide gross collection to Rs 309.15 crore.

Hanuman Ansh recorded an overall occupancy of 19% on Day 42. Morning shows registered 7.92% occupancy, which increased to 17.46% in the afternoon and 22.08% in the evening. Night shows witnessed occupancy reaching an impressive 20.69%.

The film's performance is particularly noteworthy given its reported budget of around Rs 2 crore. Hanuman Ansh opened to just Rs 10 lakh on its first day but gradually gained momentum through positive word of mouth.

Toxic Day 23 Collection

According to Sacnilk, Toxic collected Rs 14 lakh net in India on Day 23, across 219 shows. The figure represents a decline from the Rs 13 lakh earned on Day 22. With this the film raked in Rs 1.39 crore in its third week.

The Hindi and Kannada versions continued to drive Toxic's domestic performance. The Hindi version earned Rs 4 lakh crore from 42 shows, meanwhile the Kannada version collected Rs 10 lakh from 177 shows.

Hanuman Ansh's Strong Run Despite Smaller Release

The comparison becomes more notable when the scale of the two releases is taken into account. Toxic was released across multiple languages and had a significantly wider theatrical footprint, while Hanuman Ansh built its box-office run gradually despite a much smaller initial release.

The trend was visible earlier in their theatrical runs as well. On Day 7, Toxic earned Rs 7.85 crore net from 12,894 shows. On the same calendar day, Hanuman Ansh, then on Day 26, collected Rs 8.50 crore from 7,008 shows, almost half the number of shows.
