Delhi's dense smog has left the city's live music scene struggling. Amid the peak concert season, artistes are dealing with throat issues and feeling compelled to cancel shows

- Samarth Goyal

Every winter, Delhi's live music scene peaks with festivals and gigs, but this year, it is quieter and punctuated with coughing fits.

With the AQI often over 400, the season meant for performances has become a battle to breathe.

Parikrama’s Subir Malik says this Delhi winter is brutal for musicians. “Singers’ throats are their livelihood—if their throats suffer, the whole band can't play,” he says.

SUBIR MALIK, KEYBOARDIST PARIKRAMA

Our guitar player, Abhishek Mittal, he just couldn't take it. Yesterday he left for the hills. He's saying, I can't stay in Delhi any longer. I think everybody is going through a horrific time to keep up with the levels of pollution hurting their throat.

Farhan Akhtar’s heartfelt war drama takes time to connect

As I watched 120 Bahadur, I just couldn't shake off the sense of familiarity. Our war dramas often march to the same beat, and this one also takes its time before stepping out of that mould. It finds its footing eventually, but only after wading through a swamp of predictability. So how does it fare overall?

Being on guard against perpetrators of terror

The car blast near the Red Fort on November 10 — later identified as a terror incident by the government — has shocked the nation. Often, such incidents spark immediate speculation and deepen divides, with all sorts of narratives not based on facts fanned by various parties. Against such a backdrop, the media must be commended for providing exhaustive yet objective and fact-based coverage of the incident this time. This is the ideal way we can build public opinion against terror and induce our society to lend its weight to our security agencies fighting the uneven war that is terrorism.
