"Choosing a script... Well, I think it lies more in the gut than in the mind. Something excites my curiosity. Having said that, sometimes I do agree to go ahead because it is good for the commercial viewership or I need the work," she tells IANS.

I needed to have an English accent: Occam. That was largely my prep and many readings over zoom as we were surrounded by the Pandemic's second wave. Pushan did his own camera work and often ran two cameras at the same time for the length of the entire scene. I loved that process, we could react so truthfully and spontaneously." Koechlin, who co-wrote the drama 'Skeleton Woman', which won her The MetroPlus Playwright Award, and made her directorial debut on stage with the tragicomedy 'Living Room' smiles when asked if she still felt like an 'outsider'. "I feel like an actor. And there is no space big enough to hold all our dramatic endeavours." The National-award winning actor feels that while OTT has ascertained much employment and a chance for talent to shine, good content, whether it be in film or OTT is still hard to come by. "If I have anything to crib about, it is that there is too much content to read, and since I always insist on reading the entire thing not just a synopsis, it can get exhausting when the content is not great." Koechlin, who recently wrote the book 'The Elephant in the <keyword id="61809" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="womb" source="Orion">Womb</keyword>', which, among other things talks about the social stigma of abortions and unmarried pregnancies, the toll that pregnancy takes on a body and the unacknowledged domestic labour of women, may not have any plans to write another book soon, but she has surely has learnt how to deal with commentary on her personal life. "Mostly I ignore. Also, I have accepted that as part of the job. If I need privacy, I just switch off my phone." Recalling the lockdown days, she says they were hard. "And I happened to have just given birth. It was a lonely time, and the news was so grim I was afraid to get connected with the outside world. The whole period was an emotional grind, but writing 'The Elephant in the Womb gave me some respite. I was so grateful to have a little part of me still creating, it gave me some routine to the endless feeling of those days." The actor, who just shot for 'Kho Gaye Hum Kahan' is now working on the third season of her podcast with the BBC 'My Indian Life'. "I am really hungry to do more theatre. I have not gotten there yet, with the mum and work balance, but hopefully soon," she signs off.

<ul><li>Actors of an erstwhile era, Shatrugan Sinha and Poonam Sinha, are fighting for rival parties.</li><li>However, the husband and wife duo campaign for each other in respective constituencies.</li><li>This is not the first time in India that a married couple has shared a roof but not the same political affiliation.</li></ul>The Indian Parliament is full of colour. Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha are Bollywood stars of a bygone era, with over 300 films to their credit according to IMDB. In the ongoing Parliamentary elections, they represent two rival parties, the Indian National Congress and the Samajwadi Party (SP) respectively. The two parties are fighting each other in one of the country's most crucial states, Uttar Pradesh. Both parties tried to stitch a coalition to beat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi but the plans have not come to fruition yet. But that hasn't stopped the actors-turned-politicians from campaigning for each other. Congress leader Shatrughan Sinha had <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/shatrughan-sinha-defends-backing-wife-at-samajwadi-rally-says-it-was-his-duty-as-a-husband-2026047" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">campaigned for his wife in Lucknow</a>. His wife, Poonam, is going against a local heavyweight, and a national BJP stalwart past his prime, Rajnath Singh, who is also the serving union minister for Home Affairs. Lucknow is the capital of the country's most populous state, UP, and voting is underway. Meanwhile, Pramod Krishnam standing from Lucknow for the Congress, Shatrugan's party, is fuming at his colleague performing, what the latter called, 'the husband's duty'. https://twitter.com/ShatruganSinha/status/1119485148351930372 Poonam Sinha joined the SP, which is fighting in alliance with Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party, on April 16. This was much after the coalition's talks with Congress, to outnumber the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, failed. However, that did not stop her from joining the SP, while her 72-year old husband <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/lok-sabha-elections-2019-pm-narendra-modi-is-my-friend-but-shatrughan-sinha-on-why-he-left-bjp-2021047" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">had already left the BJP to join the Congress</a> party on April 10. Confused much? The protagonists are not. Shatrughan Sinha, the Parliamentarian from Patna Sahib constituency in Bihar for the last ten years, left the BJP after the party decided to dump and nominate union minister for law and information technology, Ravi Shankar Prasad, from the seat. So he broke up from the party, which he was part of for 27 years, and joined the Congress at the behest of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, founded by Laloo Prasad Yadav, which is in alliance with Congress in another state, Bihar. Now, read the story again a few times. A whiteboard and a marker may come in handy in explaining the musical chairs that the Indian election can be, at times. Most often than not, both parties and candidates put the ability to win a seat ahead of ideology and, even, conflict of interest. This is not the first time that a husband and wife have shared the same roof but not the same political affiliation. <a href="https://www.rediff.com/news/column/why-j-b-kripalani-needs-to-be-remembered/20181124.htm" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">Jivatram Bhagwandas Kripalani</a> was a long-time follower of Mahatma Gandhi, a Congress party member and a educationist in his own right. However, he left the party in 1950 and turned into one of its harshest critic of the party ever since. Meanwhile, his wife Sucheta Kripalani remained in the party served as Union minister in various portfolios, and became the first lady chief minister of Uttar Pradesh in 1963.

And, more often than not, the answer to securing their data has been – <keyword id="799677" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cloud-storage">cloud storage</keyword>. As this option which allows security along with agility to businesses, large tech players like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Oracle are raking in big money with their cloud services. But really, how safe is data on the cloud? False sense of security With cloud storage, your data is stored in a hardware in a remote location which can be accessed from anywhere, online. “Cloud is based on what is called shared responsibility model. The cloud provider will protect their own infrastructure but what you put into the cloud you have to protect it. Ah! I have put it in that cloud and so I can sleep better at night, I think that’s a false sense of security. You have to do your part as part of that shared model,” Sean Duca, the chief Security officer for the Asia-Pacific region for Palo Alto Networks told Business Insider. Duca also said that because of this false sense of security a lot of people have found themselves falling prey to data breaches that accidentally expose information. You are responsible Attackers too are developing new and innovative ways to hack in. So, for organizations it becomes important to have accurate visibility of their services, their configuration settings, and be alert to malicious or accidental changes that could leave data vulnerable. “Public cloud providers will ensure the security of cloud, the physical security at the data center, and separation of customer data and environments. But anything you run, or store in the cloud is the responsibility of the organization to secure. If you leave database ports open to the public internet, or allow public access to data storage services, then that’s on you,” said Sunil Sharma, managing director sales, Sophos India &amp; SAARC. Misconfiguration is the most common reason for data breach A recent survey by Sophos, ‘Exposed: Cyberattacks on Cloud Honeypots’, revealed that cloud servers in Mumbai were subjected to 13 attempted attacks per minute, per instance. And experts say more often than not, there is a simple reason for these breaches – misconfiguration. “Cloud is as secured as you configure it to be. Clouds are secure, but organizations are often not using them securely. Misconfiguration has been the most common reason behind a cloud data breach,” said Prateek Bhajanka, Sr Principal Analyst, Gartner. He added that just having bought cloud storage will not solve all the problems but an organization should also understand how to keep it configured in a secured manner throughout its lifecycle. Secure your data on cloud Organizations have to take active measures to secure their data even after it is transferred to the cloud. These measures come in over and above the security standards offered by the <keyword id="2422175" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="cloud-service-provider">cloud service provider</keyword>. “For example, organizations can implement different levels of security solutions for data protection based on regulatory mandates, business criticality and scenarios such as whether data is at rest or in transit,” said Neelesh Kripalani, Sr. VP and Head – Center of Excellence (CoE), Clover Infotech. Kripalani added that mandatory security levels are provided by global Cloud service providers such as AWS, Microsoft, Google and Oracle. However, depending on the criticality of applications and business needs, organisations may choose to additionally secure their applications data on the cloud by adding multiple security layers.

From the Cambridge Analytica <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news/facebook-data-breach-continues-more-than-a-year-after-cambridge-analytica/articleshow/71941273.cms">scandal</a> to the most recent <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news/investigating-the-whatsapp-hack-should-it-be-the-judiciary-or-the-parliament/articleshow/71933271.cms">WhatsApp data breach</a> where an Israeli company spied over the data Indians – left many worried about using platforms they otherwise use every day. In a digital first world where cyber attacks and breaches are common, this bill is a first step in answering the question -- who has access to my data? The draft bill was released in 2018 requires global companies to store their data locally. It also asked businesses to seek user consent before taking their data by explicitly citing the reasons for use. However, it also said that “the State is not required to seek the individual’s consent while providing benefits or services”. The bill has been a point of contention since it was released as corporates would have to restructure the way they work. In spite of the many pain points, experts believe that the bill is the need of the hour.. “Our research showed that 63% of Indian businesses are concerned about being exposed to cyber threats due to employee error. The bill comes at a time when data breaches have cost Indian firms dearly and IT managers having to deal with cyberattacks coming from all directions, that too with a limited budget, outdated technology and a dearth of security expertise,” said Sunil Sharma, managing director sales, Sophos India &amp; SAARC. The bill dictates that personal data that is collected must be processed only for purposes that are clear, specific and lawful - and that makes it a powerful law. “As per the new Data Security Council of India (DSCI) report, India has been the second most cyber-attacks affected country from 2016 to 2018. With this law, we hope to see that corporates will use the personal data of citizens in a responsible, fair and reasonable manner that respects the privacy of the data principal,” said Neelesh Kripalani, Sr. VP and Head – Center of Excellence (CoE), Clover Infotech. The bill also plans to levy heavy penalties for those who violate the norms. Entities which violate sensitive data are liable for a penalty of up to ₹15 crore or 4% of the total worldwide turnover, whichever is more. If non-sensitive personal data safeguard terms are violated, then the penalty will be up to ₹5 crore or 2% of the annual turnover, whichever is more. The bill also puts the user first. “Till now we needed to accept the company’s terms and conditions, where the company used to only state about the usage of the data. But with this bill now it will be mandatory for companies to explain, how the data will be processed or used by them which will make the data handling a transparent process. With this protection bill we will have full self-control of the data,” said Prathamesh Sonsurkar - Cyber security expert &amp; Ethical Hacker. Sonsurkar adds that the bill will bring transparency to the end users, and it will become difficult for the corporates to carry on with malpractices.

<keyword id="19894922" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Uttar-Pradesh" source="keywords">Uttar Pradesh</keyword> has strong and established women leaders but, ironically, the majority of this '<keyword id="19911646" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nari-Shakti" source="keywords">Nari Shakti</keyword>' does not belong to this state. Barring a few, most of the women leaders have come from other states and after contesting several elections, they have consolidated their position in Uttar Pradesh. Senior Congress leader <keyword id="19935990" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sonia-Gandhi" source="keywords">Sonia Gandhi</keyword> leads the brigade of political talent imported from outside Uttar Pradesh. A native of Italy who was living in New Delhi with her in-laws, the Gandhi bahu made her political debut from Amethi in 1999 and then contested and won the Rae Bareli seat from 2004 to 2019. Sonia Gandhi began campaigning in Amethi from 1984 when her husband Rajiv Gandhi made his political debut. When Sonia Gandhi finally took a plunge in politics after the former Prime Minister's demise, she chose the family turf, Amethi. The former Congress President was at one time seen as a prime ministerial candidate, though she never claimed the position. Another woman politician who was seen as a prospective prime ministerial candidate is BSP supremo, <keyword id="19897516" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mayawati" source="keywords">Mayawati</keyword>. Mayawati was born in Delhi but her political 'karambhoomi' became Uttar Pradesh when the first SP-BSP government came into existence in 1993 in the state. Circumstances propelled Mayawati into the Uttar Pradesh chief minister's chair in 1995 and over the years, she has emerged as a politician who cannot be ignored. Actor-turned-politician, <keyword id="19968072" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hema-Malini" source="keywords">Hema Malini</keyword>, who is seeking her third term from Mathura, belongs to Tamil Nadu and has spent most of her life in Mumbai. She contested and won the 2014 and 2019 elections from Mathura. Hema Malini calls herself 'Krishna ki gopi' and claims to have a divine connect with Mathura. Among others in this list is Smriti Irani, who is seeking her second term from Amethi and originally belongs to Delhi. However, after winning Amethi in 2019, she calls herself 'Amethi ki bitiya'. She has even built her home in Gauriganj in Amethi and is well versed with local politics and the local people. Maneka Gandhi, who originally belongs to Delhi, is the senior-most MP among these women, having won her first election in 1989 on a Janata Dal ticket. She later joined the BJP and has always chosen Uttar Pradesh to contest elections - first Pilibhit and then Sultanpur. Jaya Prada, another actor-turned-politician, was born in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh but chose Uttar Pradesh to kickstart her political career even though she had earlier joined the TDP. Jaya Prada successfully contested the Rampur Lok Sabha seat in 2004 and 2009 elections on a Samajwadi Party ticket. Later, she joined the BJP in 2019. Dimple Yadav, senior SP leader and wife of Akhilesh Yadav, originally belongs to Uttarakhand but made Uttar Pradesh her home after her marriage to Akhilesh. Dimple Yadav began her career by losing a bypoll to Raj Babbar of the Congress from Firozabad in 2009 but won the Kannauj seat in a 2012 bye-election. She won the Kannauj seat in 2014 but lost in 2019. However, Dimple Yadav won the Mainpuri bye-election after the demise of Mulayam Singh Yadav in 2022. Among all these women leaders, it is only Union Minister Anupriya Patel of Apna Dal (S) who was born and brought up in Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh. Interestingly, even in the past, several women leaders who made a mark in Indian politics were born outside Uttar Pradesh but chose to contest polls from the state. Former Lok Sabha Speaker, Meira Kumar, made her debut in politics when she won a bye-election from Bijnor in 1985. Meira Kumar, who is the daughter of late veteran politician Jagjivan Ram, was born in Bihar. Former Delhi Chief Minister, late Sheila Dikshit, won her first election from Kannauj in 1984. She was born in Kapurthala in Punjab. Freedom fighter Sucheta Kripalani, the first woman Chief Minister in India, who headed the Uttar Pradesh government, also belonged to Punjab but won the Assembly polls from Mehdawal in Sant Kabir Nagar. --IANS amita/rad
