Samjhauta Express.
Under Pulwama shadow, Samjhauta Express arrives in Delhi. For the train’s passengers- ‘Pakistan sasural hai, aur India mayka’ (Pakistan is where the “in-laws” are and India is where the parents are). The Samjhauta Express, a bi-weekly special train operational since 1976, has made two trips to Delhi since the Pulwama attack. The service was suspended for two years, between 2002 and 2004, after an attack on the Parliament of India. Express photo by Amit Mehra (@amitphotoflash).

Super Snow Moon 2019 tonight: February’s Supermoon is the biggest one of 2019.
On February 19, 2019, there will be another Supermoon visible, and this one is also being referred to the ‘Super Snow Moon.’ Tonight’s full moon is when Earth’s satellite is closest in its orbit point, which makes it appear bigger and brighter. According to NASA, on February 19, the Moon will be full only six hours after it reaches the perigee distance of its orbit, making it the brightest and largest full Moon of 2019. Above photographs are from Mumbai and Kolkata. Express photo by Indian Express.

Dharavi.
Gully Boy is getting relatively affluent Indians who stare unsympathetically (or maybe even with hostility) at slum dwellers every day, to cheer from their plush multiplex seats as an underdog tries to forge a path out of poverty and drudgery. It is worth noting, however, that the movie, in a nod to just how vicious life in Mumbai can be, does not try to give us a rags-to-riches tale. The story does not offer its protagonist anything more substantial than the promise of a ₹10 lakh prize and a bit of fame. Ten lakhs doesn’t go very far in Mumbai.
