The frenetic pace of life in Mumbai is such that it can sometimes suck you in like the last bit of water disappearing down the sinkhole of a swimming pool that's being emptied out. And before you know it, you become enmeshed in the social fabric of the city, riding a see-saw that oscillates between chasing dreams and paying absurd rent for a matchbox house. Yet, we trudge on, like troopers who feel most at home in a battleground. For, despite an inevitable sense of ruthlessness, there is also the milk of human kindness that nourishes this city's soul. And everyone's thus welcome to ride that see-saw. But sometimes, it's best to take a step back, pause, reflect and then start hurtling once again towards your goal.

That, in a nutshell, is the message in Bombay Aaram Se, a new song that encapsulates what living in this city is all about. And what sets it apart from other musical tributes to Mumbai, such as the folksy 1969 classic Bombay Meri Hai, is that the two people who have composed it - Lydia Hendrikje Hornung and Dario Brandt - are both German. They landed in the city a few years ago to teach at The True School of Music in Lower Parel, and started sharing a flat in the process. Then, at some point, Hornung floated the idea to Brandt that they use the medium of music to give concrete shape to what their experience of living in the city has been like.

A still from the Bombay Aaram Se video

Brandt tells us, "Lydia is the one who came up with the chorus, and it felt perfect because going 'aaram se' is exactly how we were both feeling about being here. I then added some beats to it and she came up with the hook lines, and we had time to work on it since we were living together. So, we would just knock on each other's doors and say, 'Hey, what do you think about this input, or that one?'"

The product they eventually came up with is a catchy, EDM-inflected number with a modern, hip-hop vibe. The track starts with a 1970s-like Bollywood song sample, before it takes an edgy turn five seconds in. The lyrics capture the intrinsic tumult of the Maximum City, with lines like "I'm hailing kaali-peeli cabs/ I'm waking up in Bombay flats" interspersed with "Let me cough up rickshaw fumes/ Don't care what time we do". And the accompanying video feels as if the two of them are on a drive around town, stopping at quintessential Bambaiyya locations such as the Gateway of India, an Irani café, Land's End in Bandra and Marine Drive.

So all in all, it seems as if both Hornung and Brandt have internalised Mumbai to the extent that they, too, are riding the see-saw that life here can be about. Brandt says, "I find that despite it being such a welcoming place, it's also easy to disappear in this city. I mean, I step out of my house and I feel as if I have vanished sometimes," while Hornung adds, "Moving here was a completely life-changing matter for me. I got the feeling of, 'This is going to be my new home for a while.' And that made me find my peace with some of the things that annoy me, like traffic for instance. And eventually that's what also led me to think, 'Bombay, aaram se.' I mean, just chill, right?"

Malad police arrested two people on Tuesday night for selling liquor at a premium and delivering it at people's doorstep. The Santacruz and Kandivli residents had a stock of liquor, orders for which were taken on WhatsApp. Police seized alcohol worth Rs 1.35 lakh from the duo."

The duo would send WhatsApp messages with a list of available liquor brands along with prices to their acquaintances. The message soon went viral and Malad police got wind of it. "We received this information from an informant and laid the trap. We placed an order with Kaushal Mashro, 28, on the WhatsApp number provided in the message. When he came to deliver the products in Kandivli, we arrested him," said a police officer.

During interrogation, Mahsro revealed the identity of his accomplice, Akshay Parihani, 28, and another team reached Akshay's home in Santacruz, arrested him and seized the stock of alcohol.

कोरोना के कारण दुनियाभर में सोशल डिस्टेंसिंग बनाए रखने के लिए जोर दिया जा रहा है। लोग अपने घरों में बंद हैं और अपने रिश्तेदारों-दोस्तों से दूर हैं। ऐसे में वॉट्सऐप सभी को वर्चुअली जोड़ने की तैयारी कर रही है। रिपोर्ट्स के मुताबिक, कंपनी नए फीचर पर काम कर रही है जिसमें एक साथ कई यूजर्स ग्रुप कॉलिंग कर सकेंगे। वर्तमान में एक साथ चार यूजर्स कॉलिंग कर सकते हैं। इस समय जूम और गूगल ड्यो (Duo) जैसे ऐप्स एक समय में कई दर्जन यूजर्स को ग्रुप कॉल करने की सुविधा मुहैया करा रहे हैं। वहीं जूम ऐप पर डेटा चोरी आरोप लगने के बाद इसकी लोकप्रियता को काफी नुकसान हुआ है। ऐसे में वॉट्सऐप ग्रुप कॉलिंग में यूजर्स की संख्या बढ़ाकर जूम और गूगल ड्यो जैसे ऐप्स तो चुनौती देगी।

फिलहाल सिर्फ चार यूजर्स ही ग्रुप कॉलिंग कर पाते हैं
वॉट्सऐप फीचर को ट्रैक करने वाली साइट WABetaInfo वेबसाइट ने ऐप का नया फीचर शेयर किया है, जो वॉट्सऐप के एंड्रॉयड वर्जन 2.20.128 और 2.20.129 बीटा में मिला है। इस अपडेट के जरिए ग्रुप कॉल लिमिट को बढ़ाने की जानकारी मिली है। हालांकि यह फीचर अभी इनेबल नहीं किया गया है। वर्तमान में ग्रुप कॉलिंग कि लिमिट 4 यूजर्स तक सीमित है, जिसे अब बढ़ाने की तैयारी की जा रही है। इस अपडेट के बाद कितने यूजर्स एक साथ कॉलिंग कर सकेंगे, फिलहाल इसे लेकर कोई जानकारी सामने नहीं आई है न ही इसे कर्मशियली लॉन्च करने की तारिख के बारे में कोई जानकारी सामने आई है। रिपोट्स में दावा किया जा रहा है ग्रुप कॉल में शामिल होने वाला सभी यूजर्स को अपना वॉट्सऐप वर्जन अपडेट करना होगा।

ग्रुप वीडियो काॅल करने वालों की संख्या में इजाफा
एक रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, मार्च माह के अंत तक फेसबुक मैसेंजर पर ग्रुप वीडियो काॅल करने वालों की संख्या में बढ़ोतरी दर्ज की गई है। मार्च माह के अंतिम सप्ताह में करीब 70 फीसदी से ज्यादा लोगों ने ग्रुप वीडियो काॅल में भाग लिया है। इसी तरह पर वॉट्सऐप पर भी वीडियो कॉल करने वालों की संख्या में भारी इजाफा हुआ है। एपल का फेसटाइम वीडियो कॉलिंग टूल पर एक साथ 32 लोग वीडियो काॅल कर सकते हैं जबकि फेसबुक मैसेंजर पर एक कॉल में 50 लोग जुड़ सकते हैं।

देशव्यापी लॉकडाउन में दोस्तों रिश्तेदारों और ऑफिस के साथियों से बात करने के लिए लोग वीडियो कॉन्फ्रेंसिंग ऐप का सहारा ले रहे हैं। इसमें समय जूम, गूगल डुओ के बीच तगड़ा मुकाबला देखने को मिल रहा है। जूम ऐप के 30 करोड़ एक्टिव यूजर्स हो चुके हैं तो गूगल डुओ के इस्तेमाल में काफी बढ़ोतरी हुई है। रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, हर हफ्ते 1 करोड़ नए यूजर्स गूगल डुओ पर आ रहे हैं। अपना यूजर बेस बनाए रखने के लिए कंपनी ने कई देशों में कॉल मिनट को 10 गुना तक बढ़ दिया है। वहीं अन्य यूजर्स को लुभाने के लिए चार नए फीचर लॉन्च किए हैं।

बेहतर वीडियो क्वालिटी
सबसे बड़ा बदलाव वीडियो कॉल की क्वालिटी में देखने को मिला। कंपनी ने नया AV1 (AO मीडिया वीडियो 1) कोडेक तकनीक रोल आउट करना शुरू कर दिया है। कंपनी का दावा है कि कम बैंडविड्थ या लो नेटवर्क में भी ऐप में बेहतर वीडियो क्वालिटी मिलेगी।

कॉल में शामिल हो सकेंगे ज्यादा प्रतिभागी
अन्य कॉम्पिटीटर कंपनियां वीडियो कॉल में प्रतिभागियों की संख्या बढ़ाने पर काम कर रही है। मार्केट में इस डिमांड को देखते हुए गूगल डुओ ने भी एंड्रॉयड और आईओ डिवाइस पर यूजर्स की संख्या को 8 से बढ़ाकर 12 कर दिया है। कंपनी का कहना है कि इसे और बढ़ाने पर काम चल रहा है।

कॉल के दौरान फोटो खींच सकेंगे
गूगल ने कई नए फीचर पेश किए हैं, जिसमें ग्रुप कॉल के दौरान यूजर्स प्रतिभागियों के फोटो कैप्चर कर सकेंगे। इन फोटोज को अन्य प्रतिभागियों के साथ शेयर भी किया जा सकेगा। यह फीचर्स स्मार्टफोन, टैबलेट और क्रोमबुक समेत कई डिवाइस पर काम करेगा।

प्री-रिकॉर्ड वीडियो और वॉयस मैसेज
डुओ में पर्सनलाइज्ड वीडियो और वॉयस मैसेज भेजने की सुविधा भी मिलेगी, जिसे कॉल कनेक्ट नहीं होने पर भेजा जा सकेगा। इसके अलावा इसमें AR इफेक्ट भी अन्य यूजर्स के साथ साझा किए जा सकेंगे। ऐप स्टोरी सेव करने की सुविधा भी मिलेगी।

वॉट्सऐप पर अब 8 यूजर्स एक साथ कर सकेंगे ग्रुप कॉलिंग, कंपनी ने डबल की यूजर्स की लिमिट, फिलहाल बीटा वर्जन में मिलेगी सुविधा

विवादों में बाद भी जूम ऐप यूजर्स की संख्या 30 करोड़ यूजर्स हुई; अप्रैल की शुरुआत में 20 करोड़ थे, 50% की बढ़ोतरी
