<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> Most of the times when newcomers are launched, the film belongs to the romantic genre. Of course when it is a love story in the offering then music has to be a strong point as well. Moreover, <em>Notebook</em> is a Salman Khan production and hence you do expect composer Vishal Mishra to deliver goods along with his team of lyricists who come together for five tracks. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-966217 size-full" title="Music Review: Notebook" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Music-Review-Notebook.jpg" alt="Music Review: Notebook" width="720" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> The manner in which <strong><em>'Safar'</em></strong> begins, you are reminded of <em>'Ilahi'</em> [<em>Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani</em>]. Moreover, Mohit Chauhan is the common element as well which further enhances the appeal of this Kaushal Kishore written number. Composer Vishal Mishra does well to create the kind of music that is set in the hills and brings in the right serenity that you associate with such milieu. Based on Kashmiri folk music, lyricist Kaushal Kishore spins <strong><em>'Bumro'</em></strong>, the core theme of which was also heard in Hrithik Roshan's <em>Mission Kashmir</em> almost two decades back. This time around it is Kamaal Khan who renders <em>'Bumro'</em> and while the impact is decent enough, you still want to go back to the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composition that had made waves back in year 2000. It's the sound of piano that kick-starts the proceedings for the first romantic number in <em>Notebook</em>, <strong><em>'Nai Lagda'</em></strong>. Vishal Mishra brings himself behind the mike for this soothing love song that is based on melody with Akshay Tripathi coming up with quintessential filmy lyrics. A song about pain associated with separation, this one has Asees Kaur as Vishal's companion and is fair. Vishal Mishra steps in as a lyricist too along with Abhendra Upadhyay for <strong><em>'Laila'</em></strong>, another love song, which is led by Dhvani Bhanushali. A soft sounding number which has a core situational appeal, it has orchestra playing a major role as there is a variety of instruments coming into play. With a Western influence to it, this one starts seeping into mind after repeated hearing. Last to arrive is <strong><em>'The Notebook Symphony'</em></strong> and can well be expected to be a part of the film's background score. An elaborate piece which is made to accentuate the soundtrack's big screen appeal, this one should make an impression along with the film's narrative. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>Notebook</em> is decent and though there aren't any major chartbusters out there, as a group of songs there is certain consistency coming into play. If the film does well in theatres, the music should find added traction. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Safar’</em>, <em>‘Nai Lagda’</em>

The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite attracted a lot of interest in last week's poll - the sentiment is positive, though some wish the price was lower. As it stands, it's quite close to the vanilla Mi Note 10 and some people are willing to pay extra to get not one but two telephoto cameras. More than half of voters are interested in the Lite model, though most of them will wait for a promotional price before pulling the trigger. Only 18% of voters think that the recently-discounted Mi Note 10 is a better buy. Whether you go with the Note 10 or Note 10 Lite, it's still a win for Xiaomi, of...

I was visiting Jaipur for an event and I remembered that my school (ex)vice principal is now Principal in a school of Jaipur. Couldn’t miss this opportunity to meet her. What was unexpected was that her entire school came to meet and kids were really sweet and inquisitive about a lot of things. School does play an important part in shaping up your personality and your teachers are the ‘karigars’ moulding the raw stones we all are. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been a nerdy kid or coz I’m grateful to my teachers for letting me shape up all aspects of my personality equally, that I keep going back to my childhood time n again. #Throwback #Archive #QuarantinePost

As only a tiny proportion of new firms eventually grow, policy makers face two alternatives: target specific firms predicted to be highly innovative in the future, or foster experimentation among firms and streamline both entry and exit. The Italian "Start-Up Act" combines these two approaches with an eclectic mix of policy tools.

Considerato che solo una minima parte delle nuove imprese riesce a svilupparsi, i decisori pubblici si trovano di fronte a un'alternativa: concentrarsi sulle imprese che presentano un alto potenziale di innovazione, o favorire la sperimentazione e semplificare sia l'ingresso che l'uscita delle imprese dal mercato. Lo "Startup Act" combina i due approcci con un mix eclettico di strumenti di policy.
