Mumbai: Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor took a moment to reflect on one of the most transformative roles of his career as "Udta Punjab" completed nine years on Tuesday.

Known for pushing boundaries, Shahid's portrayal of Tommy remains one of his most acclaimed and talked-about performances to date. Taking to Instagram, the 'Jab We Met' actor shared an image of his character and penned a heartfelt note, describing the role as 'another one of the flawed protagonists' he has always enjoyed portraying. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shahid Kapoor (@shahidkapoor) The actor noted how such complex roles seem to have become more popular over time. Shahid also extended his gratitude to director Abhishek Chaubey, producers Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, and Vikas Bahl, and the entire team for making the journey memorable. The 'Kabir Singh' actor wrote, '9 yrs. Another special character. Another one of the flawed protagonists that I always loved to play. They seem to be in fashion now.

How does the new Glasgow Southside Paesano compare to the original?
From the moment rumours surrounding the future of the former Di Maggio's on Pollokshaws Road first began to swirl, right up until striking blue signage confirmed beyond doubt that a 'sequel' was on the way, their thoughts have been consumed with little else. It was not a drill. Paesano was coming to Shawlands. READ NEXT: First look inside Glasgow's new Paesano Southside READ NEXT: Paesano opening in Glasgow's Shawlands - what we know so far (Image: Newsquest) A Southsider myself, I have no shame in counting myself among those who scoured the Facebook community pages for updates on opening or snapped pictures of the unit's progress almost daily to share on the family group chat. Of all the wonderful restaurants and bars opened in the area of late, this one felt different. Not just the first major move since the brand was taken over by the DRG group last summer, but a demonstration of confidence that a high-volume operation like this could thrive on this side of the river. The often-regurgitated sentiment of the Southside morphing into the 'new West End' doesn't seem quite as glib now that we too have a Paesano branch to call our own. If you caught our recent Lunch Review of the original city centre restaurant, it will come as no surprise that I am thrilled to welcome the team to the neighbourhood. I love their fuss-free approach to Neapolitan Style pizza and will point-blank refuse to engage with anyone who claims their liberal use of tomato sugo makes for too soggy an affair. It's delicious, affordable and above all, reliable. In over a decade since my first visit, I've never regretted a meal on Miller Street. So, how does the new kid on the block compare? (Image: Newsquest) Well, for one, it's noticeably smaller. Though no less busy, the long shared tables don't stretch quite as far as those in place at the skinny city centre unit, and cleverly positioned mirrors play their part in making the place seem less tightly packed. A difference in layout further means that the Pollokshaws Road restaurant is filled with natural light from a wall of windows looking out towards a busy junction. It feels more open, and therefore less frantic, but an industrial-looking lighting fixture spelling out Paesano with exposed bulbs is a nice nod to the same one used to illuminate their big sister restaurant in town. A scroll of brown paper hung on the far wall showcases today's specials including a 'Carbonara pizza' with guanciale, pecorino and plenty of black pepper, but Paesano purists will be delighted to hear that otherwise the menu is a near carbon copy of the city centre and West End units, with options numbered one to 10. Pictured: The pizza from our Paesano city centre lunch review in February this year (Image: Newsquest) Keen to test the new restaurant under the same conditions as my previous review visit, I order once more the number five of cotto ham with mushrooms, tomato sugo, fior di latte mozzarella, basil and EVOO. There's snacking on sweet and tangy balsamic onions, firm nocellara olives coated in a thin sheen of oil and beautifully fresh slices of vibrant plum tomatoes cutting through creamy burrata to be done while waiting. It's all shared, because instead of my usual solo mission, this week's review mixes business with pleasure as a birthday is marked within my friend group. There are seven of us, but Alessio, our server for the evening, remains unfazed by requests for added chillis or extra dips and sides. He's a jolt of energy on weekday service – and will later make the experience all the more special when catching wind of cause for celebrations in our group, leading the whole restaurant in a spirited rendition of 'Happy Birthday'. Though I've never found fault with the service at Paesano before, none can compare to this team member's show-stealing performance. Pictured: The new Southside Paesano lives up to expectations, and then some (Image: Newsquest) But let's get back to the pizza, shall we? For the sake of this review, I'm glad to notice straight away that there are a few subtle differences between the number five in Shawlands and the one I devoured in the city centre a few months ago. There's still a generous amount of cheese here, but it's not quite the thick blanket of fior di latte that I had tackled the first time round. It feels lighter and better balanced, allowing that salty cotto ham that's just started to curl and crisp at the edges in the intense heat of the oven its chance to shine. The pillowy slow-proved crust, however, is less blackened, robbing the dish of that intense element of charred flavour but still suitably bubbled and blistered. Thankfully, there's the addition of a truffle aioli for dunking, which more than makes up for any peely-wally-ness. Never mind its intended purpose as a dip, I would happily take a teaspoon to this pot of punchy goodness and eat just that on its own as an appetiser. I suspect there's slightly less EVOO glugged across this pizza as a finishing touch, but every Paesano veteran knows that adding your own liberal amounts of the chilli oil which sits alongside seasoning on the tables, is a must anyway. There's a sense of relief as the final bites are finished, knowing now for sure that this new restaurant lives up to expectations. But beyond that, I'm surprised to find myself questioning whether it could even be better than the original? My intention for this week's review was never to play favourites. I only hoped to confirm that standards had carried over to the new home. So, at the risk of sounding biased, I'll simply sign off by saying this is very much the case, and then some. How soon is too soon for the next visit? Price: The number five pizza is priced at £12.50 - worth noting that this is 60p more than what I paid in the city centre branch for the same toppings in our February review. Wait time: Around 25 minutes after ordering. Rating: 5/5. I might anger some by giving this experience 0.5 points more than the city centre restaurant, but the team truly deserves it. Only time will tell if this is opening week magic or not. Paesano Southside is located at 1038-1040 Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow.

Hum: Caméline in Vieux-Hull indulges a passion for creative pasta
Article content Grilled white asparagus ($23), bolstered with guanciale, grated egg yolk and tarragon aioli, felt like a high-in-umami delicacy. Article content We then shared three of the menu's four pasta dishes. Article content Skewing sweet were the agnolotti filled with roasted beet and house-made ricotta, adorned with stracciatella di bufala (the delicate Italian buffalo-milk cheese), orange honey and poppy seeds ($29). On a plate of toothsome tagliatelle verde ($33), earthy wild mushrooms, black garlic and Calabrian chili were all impactful. Article content Article content Article content Carivnore that I am, I preferred the wild boar tortelletti with gremolata, well-salted kale and fried shallots ($34). But my companions had different favourites among the perfectly al dente pastas. That, of course, is a very good sign. Article content Ordering the three appealing but distinct desserts was a no-brainer. Maple gelato affogato ($12) provided the proper sweet, caffeinated jolt. A well-made slice of white chocolate and blood orange tart ($14) nailed its combination of flavours and textures. A slice of upside down banana cake with brown butter cream and ginger crumble ($15) was super-moist and comforting. Article content Article content Before dinner, cocktails ($11 to $18), such as the mix of mezcal, Aperol, lime juice and pineapple juice that I had, were interesting and well-balanced. Article content The always evolving list of privately imported wines chosen by co-owner Alexandre Régimbal includes about a dozen each of whites and reds. Currently, bottles range from $70 to $105. About 10 wines, including an orange wine and a rosé, are available by the glass. I asked someone who knows much more about wine than I do to survey the list and he called it 'an interesting list of food-friendly wines with a focus on low intervention.' Article content He also remarked that about two-thirds of the bottles are from France or Quebec, and just four are from Italy. I responded that perhaps Caméline thinks of itself as a Québécois restaurant that happens to specialize in pasta, rather than an Italian restaurant per se. Article content Later, when I spoke to Laroche and Régimbal, they said I'd hit the nail on the head. Camelina oil, as we anglophones would say, is a Quebec product, and so the restaurant's name nods to some provincial pride on the part of Laroche, Régimbal, and fellow co-owner Audrey Labelle. Article content Further to that, Laroche offered the example of a cacio e pepe pasta that he's made. His riff on that Italian classic involved Quebec cheese and dune pepper, also native to Quebec. Article content I'd like to try that dish if it ever returns to Caméline's menu. I'd also like to sit on the restaurant's back patio, which will seat about 30 when it opens in a month or so. Article content By then, it will truly be spring. Goodbye, root vegetables. Green asparagus and other seasonal delights will be available. Article content

Advanced Micro Devices (NasdaqGS:AMD) Rises 3% in a Month Amid New EPYC Processors Launch
Advanced Micro Devices launched its 5th Gen EPYC processors, offering a potential uptick in cost-performance ratios and signaling strength in its cloud and embedded markets, which could have supported its share price rise of 3% over the last month. Significant governance changes, such as plans to increase authorized shares, along with altered leadership in AMD's fixed-income offerings, reflect ongoing structural adjustments. Concurrently, the market has faced volatility amid tariff discussions, contrasting with AMD's upward movement despite a broader 3% market drop, suggesting resilience in tech stocks amidst uncertain economic forecasts. Buy, Hold or Sell Advanced Micro Devices? View our complete analysis and fair value estimate and you decide. AI is about to change healthcare. These 24 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10b in market cap - there's still time to get in early. The last five years have seen Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) achieve a total shareholder return of 116.11%, combining both share price appreciation and dividends. A significant part of this performance can be attributed to AMD's advances in the data center and AI markets, especially with the expansion of its Instinct accelerators and ROCm updates. Additionally, AMD's partnerships, such as those with Oracle and Dell, have bolstered its presence and adoption in cloud and enterprise markets. The development of the 5th Gen EPYC processors introduced groundbreaking improvements in cost-to-performance ratios, further supporting AMD's growth trajectory in competitive segments. Despite challenges, including declines in the Gaming and Embedded segments by 59% and 13% year-over-year respectively, AMD's earnings have surged in the last year. Financially, the company's sales have climbed, as evidenced by Q4 FY2024's US$7.66 billion revenue. However, AMD's share performance over the past year has underperformed both the US Market and the Semiconductor industry. With these dynamics, AMD continues to drive toward capturing more market share in high-performance computing and AI sectors.
