Citizens' initiative restores Tollygunge Ghari Ghar heritage gateway
1 2 3 4 Kolkata: Kolkata Restorers, a collective of citizens who love the city and its heritage, have restored the Tollygunge Ghari Ghar, a Grade I heritage structure off Deshpran Sasmal Road near the Tipu Sultan mosque. Constructed around 1877 by Prince Raheemuddin Shah, a great-grandson of Tipu Sultan, the gateway once supported a large clock on top, hence the local name Ghari Ghar. The archway serves as an entrance to the imambara inside the lane. The gateway features Tuscan-style columns and inscriptions in Nastaliq Urdu and Bengali. "This is more than just a gateway; it is a historical marker of Tipu Sultan's lineage, a centre of Shia ritual life, and a testament to colonial-era architecture," said architect Anjan Mitra, who was advised on how the restoration should be done.

The marble plaques on the gate were cleaned, and the archway was illuminated. Kolkata-based company Techno Electric funded the entire cost of restoration. The translation of the Nastaliq script carries the following interpretation: "This graceful tower, crowned with a noble arch, has been raised as a place of beauty and reflection — worthy of reverence, like a place of prayer.

"The tower is a royal memorial, constructed by a descendant of one of the subcontinent's most revered freedom fighters — Tipu Sultan, the martyr and protector of his people," said Mudar Patherya, who has coordinated the Kolkata Restorers initiative. "Its creator, Sayyid Mohamed Raheemuddin, was the son of Abdul Rahman, grandson of Abdus Salam, and great-grandson of Tipu Sultan. Through this structure, he preserved a legacy of dignity, courage, and devotion to heritage. This tower was erected in 1877. The arch offers a rare glimpse into Kolkata's 19th century Muslim aristocracy and how local landmarks retain lived memory," he added.

What Is The Gen Z Stare? The Viral Blank Look That's Confusing Everyone
Gen Z Stare could be described as a blank or empty look that many young people often show when asked a question. Gen Z stare is becoming very popular on social media. It could be described as a blank or empty look that many young people often show when asked a question. This expression happens everywhere, at school, restaurants, work and other places, which leaves older people confused or annoyed. You might wonder what exactly the Gen Z stare is and why so many people are talking about it. In this article, we will explain what this looks means and why it has caught so much attention online. It's not clear where or how the Gen Z stare trend began, but it has quickly caught people's attention and sparked a lot of discussion online. Every generation has habits, but there might be some clear reasons behind the blank stare. Two big reasons are the internet and the pandemic. When people mostly talk or connect through phones or screens, it can affect their real life behaviour. Gen Z is the first generation to grow up fully using apps such as TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. That might be the reason why they sometimes look unbothered during face to face talks. Jessica Maddox, a professor at the University of Alabama told NBC News, 'When I first started hearing talk about the Gen Z stare, and people were kind of explaining what it is, I was like, 'Oh, my God, this is what happens to me as a college professor'. This [look] very much accelerated after we returned to campus after Covid protocols." During the pandemic, people had to stay apart and follow social distancing rules, which made face to face interactions rare. Many schools were taking online classes, so students got used to staying home and learning through screens instead of meeting others in person. Jess Rauchberg, an assistant professor of communication technologies at Seton Hall University, added, 'I think we are starting to really see the long term effects of constant digital media use, right? We think of the phone as an appendage to our bodies. If it's a processing thing, it's hard to imagine someone wouldn't know how to nod or respond with a smile or just say 'OK,' but we may take for granted some of the social skills we have developed over the years because we didn't have technology to deal with and we didn't have to be isolated from our peers." Whether it's a real way of showing their emotions or just a passing trend, the Gen Z stare has definitely made people on social media talk. It has also started a bigger conversation about how different generations communicate. view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 17:47 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's son Anant Ambani gets a new guest, it will live in...
Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's son Anant Ambani- File image New guest has arrived at Anant Ambani's house: In a significant development for the Ambani family and more specifically Anant Ambani, the Bombay High Court approved the relocation of Mahadevi, an ailing elephant currently in Kolhapur, to the Radhe Krishna Elephant Welfare Trust, a specialised elephant care centre in Jamnagar. Notably, the Radhe Krishna Elephant Welfare Trust, supported by Anant Ambani's Vantara initiative, is known for its dedicated care, veterinary expertise, and expansive natural enclosures. The specialised elephant care centre of Anant Ambani has been notably designed to offer long-term rehabilitation. As per a report by news agency ANI, the move comes in response to concerns raised over her health and overall well-being. Who's the new guest at Anant Ambani's Vantara? Reports presented to the court indicated that Mahadevi was suffering from severe injuries and needed a better environment to heal and thrive. After reviewing her condition and the available facilities, the High Court concluded that her best chance at healing lies in a sanctuary purpose-built for elephant care. How Mahadevi was transferred to Anant Ambani's Vantara? Invoking the parens patriae principle to safeguard the rights of the 'voiceless and hapless Mahadevi', in its ruling, the court said, 'We have considered and chosen the survival of the elephant and its right to quality life, over and above the rights of men to use the elephant.' The panel also quoted the words of Lawrence Anthony from his book 'The Elephant Whisperer' to support the argument for better treatment of the elephants. This decision marks a compassionate step toward recognising the emotional and physical needs of animals who cannot voice their suffering. With this transfer, Mahadevi is expected to receive focused treatment and the peaceful surroundings essential for her recovery. The Jamnagar-based sanctuary offers a robust ecosystem of veterinary staff, natural foraging space, and continuous care, ensuring elephants like Mahadevi are given a second chance at a dignified, comfortable life.
