“Harlem” by Langston Huges

Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan will soon be seen in the crossover that YRF has planned with Tiger and Pathan. While Salman Khan was supposed to join good friend Shah Rukh for the climax to be shot in U.A.E, now there has been a huge change in plans.

A source shares, "Siddharth Anand will now roll some of the scenes featuring SRK and Salman in Mumbai itself. Their travel plans are cancelled, owing to increase in Covid cases. Apparently the mandatory 14 day quarantine – 7 day institutional and 7 day home seems to be the reason behind this reschedule. The producers don't want to risk it at this point. Instead, they will be filming some portions of the climax over the next few days at YRF itself".

Continuing further the source adds, “The team at Yash Raj Films has already conducted a reccee in both Dubai as well as Istanbul. So even though the Dubai schedule may be delayed, the makers could opt to shoot a portion of the film in Istanbul.”  However, the source states that Dubai and the U.A.E will still serve as the backdrop in the film. "Few members of the team travelled and got the locations captured on their cameras. A few scenes were shot with body doubles too. They plan to use it differently in the film."

Interestingly, Salman Khan has an extended appearance in the spy thriller and this will be a huge crossover of sorts in the spy universe Aditya Chopra is creating. Salman, as Tiger, will be helping Pathan aka Shah Rukh fight John Abraham!

A year ago today, I was driving up to school to move in. The same was supposed to happen today. Instead, I spent the day in my childhood bedroom reading and reminiscing. 

Then, something really weird happened.

I was out walking the dog with my mom. We were talking about how I wanted to take this next gap year to learn about myself and how I want to live my life. Out of nowhere, I felt a tickle under my arm. I looked down, and a beautiful yellow butterfly was perched on my back. It stuck there for several blocks all the way to my front porch. I very nicely told it the ride was over, and it flew away. 

I wouldn't consider myself super spiritual, but just for giggles, I searched the meaning of a butterfly landing on you. 

“A butterfly landing on you can be a sign that your unconscious mind approves of something, probably related to personal development...a spiritual sign that represents you are in a season of transformation, growth, spiritual pursuits, and discovering your truth and inner wisdom. You are going through deep internal change, even if you don’t realize it.”

Again, I don't consider myself particularly spiritual, but this experience really struck me. For one, we just had a hurricane blow through, and this was the first time the sun came out. My mom and I were just talking about how I wanted to grow and become a new person, and it’s the anniversary of the day I left for college.

I know it sounds kind of foolish, but this felt like a sign from the universe that I’m doing the right thing taking time off. Kind of like the universe said, “Yes. You’re doing this right.” And heading into a year of uncertainty, that’s a really reassuring feeling.
