Jalandhar, Apr 21 () A 30-year-old daughter of former Golden Temple Hazuri Raagi Nirmal Singh Khalsa, who had died of coronavirus, was discharged from a Jalandhar hospital after recovery from the infection. Khalsa, a Padma Shri recipient and a 'Gurbani' exponent, had succumbed to the infection in Amritsar earlier this month. His daughter was brought to the Jalandhar Civil Hospital on April 1 after she tested positive for coronavirus. A team of doctors, led by Senior Medical Officer Kashmiri Lal, treated her. Her samples were sent to the Amritsar's Government Medical College for testing on April 17 and 19. In both reports, she was declared coronavirus negative. She was finally discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, an official release said. She thanked the doctors for her treatment at the hospital, said the official release. CHS VSD RDKRDK

Daughter of former Golden Temple Hazuri Raagi recovers from coronavirus

Amritsar, Apr 7 () In yet another case in the state, a family in Amritsar refused to claim the body of a coronavirus victim, forcing the district administration to perform his last rites, officials said on Tuesday. Similarly, a family in Ludhiana on Monday had refused to accept and cremate the body of a 69-year-old COVID-19 positive woman. The administration there had too perform her last rites. According to an official release, the 69-year-old Amritsar man, a retired superintending engineer at the civic body there, had died at an private hospital on Monday. His family did not respond to the administration when it asked them to claim the body, it said. Thereafter, officials approached the family, but they did not come forward for the last rites. The official release said the daughter of the deceased is pursuing an MBBS course and none of his family members reached the cremation ground where he was consigned to flames. Initially, the man had tested negative for COVID-19 at the Government Medical College in Amritsar. But when his condition did not improve, he was shifted to a private hospital, where he tested positive for the disease. Civil Surgeon Amritsar Prabhdeep Kaur Johal said, "A few days ago, he tested negative for the infection at the GMC lab. Then he went to a private hospital which declared him positive in their preliminary report. Thereafter, we took his samples again for confirmation and found him positive for COVID-19." In another such incident in Amritsar, residents of Verka village did not allow the cremation of Padma Shri recipient and former Golden temple Hazuri Raagi Bhai Nirmal Singh Khalsa. The villagers had refused to allow the cremation of the Gurbani exponent fearing the spread of the disease. JMS CHS VSD RDK

Amritsar family refuses to claim COVID-19 victim's body; admin performs last rites

Chandigarh, Apr 7 () Experts here have called for spreading awareness among people to dispel their fear of catching infection during last rites of COVID-19 suspected or positive cases.They urged the authorities to spread awareness in this regard after two incidents where people refused to cremate bodies of coronavirus victims were reported in the state.Family members of a 69-year-old woman who died of COVID-19 in a private hospital in Ludhiana, had refused to accept her body and cremate it, forcing the district administration to perform her last rites.In another such incident, residents of Verka village in Amritsar did not allow the cremation of Padma Shri awardee Bhai Nirmal Singh Khalsa.The villagers had refused to allow the cremation of the Gurbani exponent fearing spread of the disease.If all the government mandated protocols are followed while performing last rites for such bodies, there is no need to fear, the experts said.D S Bhullar, president of Punjab Academy of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology said there was no need to worry when transportation and cremation of a body of a COVID-19 suspected or confirmed case takes place in line with the protocols set by the government.He said the body is packed in a double layered body bag which is disinfected with hypochlorite solution.Besides, a team wearing PPE takes the body to the cremation ground in an ambulance, Bhullar added."One should not worry as the cremation takes place while following all the guidelines. There is no chance of spread of virus," he said.Professor of Department of Sociology, Panjab University, Rajesh Gill told on Tuesday that, "Humanity is tested when there is crisis and we need to wake up the sensitivity of people."She said there was a need to launch an awareness drive to tell people that that they need to give respect to the bodies."People need to be told what kind of precautions they need to take for cremation and how health authorities will cooperate with them and how they should go about it," she said.The government should spread awareness through TV, radio and other media, she added.

Need for awareness drive to dispel fear of cremating COVID-19 victims: Experts

Chandigarh, Apr 13 () Baisakhi festivities in the streets and rush of devotees in gurdwaras were missing across Punjab on Monday as people largely celebrated the festival indoors amid a curfew in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.Baisakhi is one of Punjab's biggest festivals and it marks the foundation day of the 'Khalsa Panth' (Sikh order) by the tenth Sikh Guru, Gobind Singh. It also marks the start of harvest season.The Golden Temple in Amritsar, one of Sikhism's holiest shrines, saw very few devotees turn up to offer prayers.Normally, nearly two lakh devotees visit the Golden Temple on the occasion of Baisakhi.The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), which manages gurdwaras in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh, has also deployed task force staff to discourage people from assembling.SGPC Chief Secretary Roop Singh said the committee has never stopped anyone from coming to the Golden Temple but one should not violate the government orders.Barricades have been put up at all roads leading to the Golden Temple to prevent overcrowding, a police official said.A similar scene was witnessed at the Takht Kesgarh Sahib in the holy city of Anandpur Sahib, where the Khalsa Panth was founded in 1699.Managements of several other gurdwaras across Punjab and state capital Chandigarh politely refused to let devotees inside. They appealed to them to offer prayers at homes and listen to 'Gurbani' by tuning in to their YouTube channels."In the morning, 'sangat' (devotees) came to pay obeisance but we requested them to offer prayers at their homes and also asked them to listen to 'kirtan' on our YouTube channel."We have shared a link of the video of 'kirtan' with devotees on our WhatsApp group," said an official of Gurdwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib in Chandigarh's Sector 34.He said normally, 60,000 to 70,000 devotees visit the shrine on Baisakhi every year."It is for the first time that we could not enter the gurdwara," a disappointed devotee said.The management of a gurdwara in Ludhiana said it will reach out to those on the frontlines of the fight against coronavirus on the occasion of Baisakhi."We will distribute 'langar' among frontline workers, including policemen and medical staff," a gurdwara official said.Earlier, the Akal Takht (the highest temporal seat of Sikhs) had asked members of the Sikh community to offer prayers at home on Baisakhi and directed Sikh organisations not to organise religious gatherings on the festival in the view of the COVID-19 outbreak.On Sunday, Chief Minister Amarinder Singh had also appealed to people not to step out of their homes on the occasion of Baisakhi.

Now that you've enjoyed a piece or two of your hard work, you're probably wondering <keyword id="1346459" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="how-to-store">how to store</keyword> the leftovers, whether it's a towering buttercream-covered ensemble or simple sheet cake. Cakes typically stay fresh for two to three days at room temperature, but there are ways to extend their shelf life and make sure the last slice is as good as the first. <h2>Does cake need to be refrigerated?</h2>Though your first instinct may be to pop leftover cake into the icebox, most don't need to be refrigerated. Unfrosted sponge cakes - which get their light and airy texture from a combination of egg whites, flour, sugar, and sometimes fat - are the most common birthday cake variety and stay fresh at room temperature in an airtight container for up to four days. You can use a special domed cake box, a cardboard box, or "an extra large mixing bowl inverted over the cake will do the trick, too," says recipe developer and <keyword id="6181" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Food">food</keyword> stylist <a href="https://eatchofood.com">Kristina Cho</a>. Keeping them covered is necessary so that the outer crumb layer doesn't dry out.The exception to this rule: All cakes with dairy and fruit - such as cheesecakes, layered mousse cakes, tres leches cakes, and ones with fresh cream and berries - need to be refrigerated when not being served.<h2>Storing a frosted cake</h2>Frosted cakes follow a similar rule if they're made with non-perishable toppings and fillings, such as American buttercream frosting, dried fruits, nuts, or fondant. You can leave those out covered at room temperature for at least four days. But frosted cakes with perishable toppings and fillings like whipped cream, berries, and cream cheese frosting do not last at room temperature and need to be covered and refrigerated to remain fresh. Anything with fruit or custard needs to go into the fridge after a couple hours on the counter to remain safe for consumption. This includes cheesecakes, too.<h2>Storing a cut cake</h2>Cake that's been sliced or cut has the clock ticking. Because there's more surface area exposed to open air, individual slices are prone to drying out more quickly if left uncovered. That's why bakeries typically cut slices of cake to order or have them wrapped in those messy-to-peel plastic strips. Again, covering the cut cake is key: "You can store unfrosted sliced cake at room temperature for a few days, covered with a cake glass cover to retain its soft texture and freshness," says <a href="https://thejamlab.co">Amisha Gurbani</a>, chef, recipe developer, and food photographer.For an even better seal, you can wrap individual slices in cling film and store at room temperature - or in the fridge if it has a perishable frosting.Quick tip: "Add a slice of white bread in the cake box and seal tight to keep cake fresh even longer," says recipe developer and food editor <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mollyjean4/">Molly Adams</a>. The cake will absorb moisture from the bread.<h2>Storing cake layers</h2>If you're making cake layers, Adams advises freezing them, even if you're using them soon after. "When I'm ready to assemble the cake, I just unwrap and decorate the cake while the layers are still frozen. I find them easier to work with and by the time you are ready to serve, the cake is at perfect temperature." It's important to let the cakes cool completely on a wire rack before storing or icing to make sure there's no humidity, which can cause the top and bottom layers to peel off. It can also lead to quicker spoilage - when steam gets trapped inside warm cakes, it creates a sticky layer that will promote bacteria.<h2><keyword id="10695921" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="how-to-freeze">How to freeze</keyword> cake</h2>The freezer is also your best bet for long term cake storage. Wrapping each slice or layer tightly in cling film along with an additional layer of aluminum foil will protect the cake from freezer burn. "You should double wrap them to lock in freshness and also prevent any freezer-like tastes," says <a href="https://www.foodieinnewyork.com/">Vallery Lomas</a>, cookbook author and "Great American Baking Show" winner.If you're storing several slices of cake, you can also place wrapped slices on a sheet pan in a single layer until fully frozen, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. For cheesecakes, take extra care to make sure the cling film completely touches the top of the cake to avoid freezer burn. To serve, "defrost on the counter for a few hours until room temperature and it will be a perfect slice of cake," says Cho.Quick tip: You can store most cakes in the freezer for three months. Dried fruit cake will last up to a year.<h2>Insider's takeaway</h2>Storage varies depending on a cake's make up, including its toppings and fillings - some can keep on the counter at room temperature for several days, while others need refrigeration.<a data-type="5b045c3242e1cc09ff0c0014">The best cake pans you can buy</a><a data-type="5f525c30ce3d693994159f93">I made 3 brands of boxed yellow-cake mix and found that Pillsbury's is perfect for a special occasion</a><a data-type="5ed007ec988ee336586240c3">Chefs share 12 tips for taking boxed cake mix to the next level</a><a data-type="5cd19704021b4c089419fba8">The best cake decorating tools</a>

Artists, organizers and the entire experiential industry found themselves baffled. Their core job was to get people out of their homes and partake in an event. As per Event and Entertainment Management Association (EEMA), the Indian events and exhibition sector is expected to take a ₹1 trillion hit this quarter.

They are unique for their intimacy, interactivity (social media platform-supported) and for the real glimpse it gives you into the artists’ most intimate space - his/her home! We have seen multiple instances where viewers have requested for their favourite songs or a poem, which have been gracefully honoured by the artists. We have seen a great traction for the Q&amp;A sessions as well, bringing fans up close and personal with their favourite artists. And then, there are surprises too - Prateek Kuhad dropped his latest single during his performance in ‘Live From HQ’!,” shares Albert Almeida, COO – Live Entertainment, BookMyShow. BookMyShow’s maiden Live from HQ event had close to half a million viewers tuning in. After adding more features on its platform and seeing an increase in engagement on the size of its community, Almeida is hopeful that the platform will breach the million mark in a few days. On the other hand, for <keyword id="8619624" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="paytm-insider">Paytm Insider</keyword>, it was easier to transition to virtual events as they had launched ‘Digital Events’ a year ago. It now allows organizers to publish, ticket and manage digital events. However, it wasn’t their main focus until the outbreak of coronavirus. Telling us how the idea took shape, Shreyas Srinivasan, CEO, Paytm Insider, said, “About a year ago, even before all of this transpired, we started working on a feature called Digital events. So in the last month, we have completely switched our focus to digital events. The idea was that digital offers you the type of interactivity which physical events don’t -- it's hard to obtain scale. So if you are in a physical event with 10,000 people and you want to collectively as a musician, figure out what is the next song the majority of this audience wants to hear, it's very difficult to get that consensus. So that’s why we had started building this feature called Digital Event, which is basically a layer of interactivity on top of a live video. This allows us to experiment. We did a theatrical show where people watching it decided how the story went.” While the established artists have found a way to connect with their audience via technology, smaller artists in Tier II and III are struggling. StayIN aLIVE is a platform that is helping artists to come together, with the help of BookMyShow and Paytm Insider, and use their skills and creativity to aid the spreading of correct, verified messages about battling COVID-19, the issues surrounding the pandemic, precautions one can take as citizens. Roshan Abbas, MD, Geometry Global and Founder, Kommune, a performance arts collective, explains, “The live entertainment industries have been very badly hit. I was reading a report today that said over 4 million people but that doesn’t include the people who listen to Gurbani to people who perform in villages all the way to the people who are performing at concerts and shows, etc. That is such a large number right now. Most people also don't know what to do. And the problem is that the people who have some idea of the internet at least are trying to be relevant. But revenue is bound to see a fall for almost anybody.” StayIN aLIVE, although now digital, will also help artists do physical events once we resume normalcy. However, Abbas says that this new normal will never be the same for the events industry. This period has pushed consumers to reconsider their habits. “The new normal will not be the same as what we were used to. Many of us will choose efficiency over entertainment. So do you really want to go to a seminar? Or do you want to go for dinner in the evening? Do you want to go for the awards show at all? Or are you happy to be with us here? Awards have anyway become a television spectacle because people stopped going. So the consumers will start making even more informed choices. And again, this is where people who will build transmedia properties that go from online to offline, offline to online, to build communities both offline and online will succeed,” said Abbas.
