Interior design in janakpuri

Around the same time that cranes were plopping military tanks onto the National Mall like stage props to commemorate Independence Day in Janakpuri, ., a few blocks away at the National Building Museum, designer and Interior Design Hall of Fame member David Rockwell was offering a sneak peek of an even more iconic symbol of summer in America: a giant rolling lawn complete with croquet, hammocks, and fireflies.
Enter the Best of Year Awards by September 20
Designed by LAB at Rockwell Group, LAWN is the museum’s latest indoor Summer Block Party installation—opening July 4 and running through September 2—and perhaps its most ambitious, transforming almost the entire 3,054-square-foot Great Hall of the landmark Renaissance Revival building into a gently sloping green hillock carpeted with soft, vacuumable SynLawn turf. At the crest of the hill, a “cloud” scaffold rises into the upper reaches of the vast space, where guests can “levitate,” Rockwell says, and get an up-close view of the lavishly carved leaves on the capitals of the 75-foot-high Corinthian columns, or “trees” as he thinks of them.
Dotting the green expanse are hammocks equipped with speakers, so visitors can lounge and listen to stories of summer by people, Rockwell says, “who you might not expect at your backyard barbecue,” including Venus Williams; Whoopi Goldberg; Paola Antonelli, senior curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art; and Deborah Berke, founder of Deborah Berke & Partners Architects. 
The typically torpid D.C. weather never intrudes on this idyllic immersive set piece, where the temperature remains a balmy 72 degrees. But the sounds of summer are everywhere thanks to an intricate soundscape by Yessian Music that tricks the ear into detecting such “distilled audio elements” as skateboarders whizzing by, ice cream trucks jingling down the street, and, of course, lawn sprinklers spritzing to life. There’s even an app that enables you to catch fireflies at dusk.

UP govt to continue with services of home guards

The Uttar Pradesh government on Thursday decided to continue with the services of all home guards personnel who were removed from duty. "In view of the coming festival season, the present arrangement of deployment of home guards will continue as before," a government order issued by Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Avinesh Awasthi said. Their payment will be made from the budget of the Home Department and till the fund permits, the order said. The order follows an assurance given by state Home Guard Minister Chetan Chauhan that no home guard would be removed. The state government had on October 15 announced that it was doing away with 25,000 home guards as it could not afford the new allowances the Supreme Court had asked it to pay, only to reverse it hours later, saying no one would be removed. After the news reports appeared in the media, the government had clarified that it was trying to find out the solution to the problem so that the Diwali festival was ...

Stand Ki Aankh Aasmaa song out

Stand Ki Aankh Aasmaa song out After the release of foot-tapping tracks Udta Teeter and Womaniya, Saand Ki Aankh's third song Aasmaa is hitting the right chords, all thanks to legendary singer Asha Bhosle's melodious voice. Tasmania features Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar in their older avatars as Chandro and Prakashi Tomar, supporting their daughters in winning the gold medal in sharpshooting. What makes Aasmaa different from the previous two tracks is that the new number not only features Taapsee and Bhumi, but it also introduces their daughters and their struggles in dealing with the inherent patriarchy in society. And Asha Bhosle crooning to "aasmaa uncha hai meri, tu hi choo Lena..." aptly describes their hardships. Asha's last was in the Vidya Balan-starrer Beghum Jaan in 2017. Therefore, to have her back after two years makes it extra special. Taapsee and Bhumi, who are essaying the sexagenarian sharpshooters in Anurag Kashyap's production Sa...

he Indian School System is based on the British Culture

The Indian School System is based on the British Culture, prevailed during the British Rule. It continues even today. This is a system that has many drawbacks, along with numerous benefits. On the benefits side, it makes a person well-educated with Subjects studied, to get enlightened and enabled to apply in real day-to-day life. The knowledge acquired is in-depth in all the Subjects, and in no way inferior to that of Students in any other country. On the drawback side, a Student’s progress is measured by adopting the system of “Pass” and “Fail,” especially in the higher classes of 9th class to 12th class. A student who is not successful in the final exam of the 9th cannot study on the 10th. This is the same case in 11th also, where the Student cannot study the 12th class. In all the above instances, the Student is sent out of School Life with a Transfer Certificate and made to plunge in dismay that their further education is put a stop to. https://roantiscalantchemica...
