Israeli diplomat extends 'musical tribute' on India's 74th Republic Day; video wins internet

-

India celebrated its 74th Republic Day with glory and great enthusiasm on Thursday. People observed the day with great zeal and extended special wishes and messages to each other. While the celebrations would have been incomplete without the annual parade in the capital city, this year too we saw a grand event organised in Delhi. In the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Droupadi Murmu and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar, the guest of honour – Egypt’s president Abdul Fattah al-Sisi witnessed the spectacular parade passing through the Kartavya Path. It was indeed a unique mix displaying the military might and cultural diversity of India.

In the meantime, global leaders also extended their wishes on India’s Republic Day and greeted PM Modi and his fellow countrymen. Joining in the line, the Consulate General of Israel to Midwest India, Kobbi Shoshani also paid a musical tribute on the occasion. Taking to Twitter, he shared a video of himself playing the tunes of India’s national anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana’ on a piano.

Watch:


The 58-second clip, that is going viral on social media, shows the Israeli diplomat completely engrossed in his part in playing the national anthem and we can say he aced it. Furthermore, he ended the video by saying ‘Jai Hind India’. “In respect to the national flag of India, I tried my best to play India’s beautiful anthem, “Jana Gana Mana”. Happy Republic Day,” he wrote in his caption.

Meanwhile, the video impressed quite a lot of Indians online who took to the comment section and appreciated the diplomat’s gesture. A user wrote, “Wonderful. Thank you”, while another wrote, “Thank you sir. Very well played.”

“Jai Hind! The melodic notes of your upright piano are being felt on our hearts. Thank you for your beautiful rendition,” a user commented.

The video has so far grabbed thousands of views and likes on Twitter.

Notably, India has been celebrating its Republic Day every year on 26 January to mark the anniversary of officially adopting its Constitution.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
