Peter Dinklage's last day on 'GoT' was 'beautifully bittersweet'

Actor Peter Dinklage has recalled his last day on the sets of "Game of Thrones", saying it was "beautifully bittersweet" for him. The actor, who has played Tyrion Lannister since "Game of Thrones" beginning, had revealed in July this year that he had wrapped shooting for the show's eighth and final season. In an interview with Vulture, Dinklage described his character's last day as "anticlimactic". "It's always anticlimactic for the character's last day. Nothing is shot chronologically, so you don't get some big mountaintop scene or anything. It's just, 'That's a wrap on Peter Dinklage," he said. "But as anticlimactic as it was, my last day was also beautifully bittersweet. A lot of people whom I love were on set that day. Even if they weren't working, they came to set, which was beautiful. I tried to do the same thing when other (Game of Thrones)actors were wrapping out. If it was their day, you would go to set to say good-bye. It was really hard," he added. Without taking names, ...

Google pays tribute to tabla whizz Pt Lachhu Maharaj

Celebrated tabla maestro Lakshmi Narayan Singh, fondly known as Pandit Lachhu Maharaj, was on Tuesday paid homage by search giant Google with a colourful doodle on his 74th birthday. Born on this day in 1944 to a family of musicians, the renowned Banaras Gharana musician trained under his father, Vasudev Maharaj, started performing at an early age. Though someone who played alongside nearly all the greatest tabla players of his time, Maharaj is distinctly remembered for his solo performances across the world. Thumri exponent Girija Devi, who often collaborated with Maharaj, claimed that "he would play for hours without repeating himself, new gats, tukras and parans, leaving his audiences awestruck". Born and brought up in Varanasi, the maestro had worked in many Bollywood films and performed all over the world. Filmstar Govinda, who was his sister's son, learnt music from him at a young age.

Asha Bhosle records puja song after over two decades

Playback legend Asha Bhosle has recorded a Bengali puja song after over two decades in a milieu when such tracks are on the decline. The song, "Ebar Pujoy Elaam Phire" (I have returned in this puja) was released earlier this month following the tradition of launching puja numbers before the 4-day Durga puja beginning Tuesday. Bhosle, who recorded the song a week after her 85th birthday last month, also shot a music video for it, said composers Shiladitya and Raj. Bhosle had recorded her first puja song 'Aamar Khatar Patay' in 1963 which was composed by late Manna Dey. She lent her voice for a puja song for the last time 23 years ago, the two composers said. In subsequent years she rendered hits like 'Jete Dao Amay Dekhona', 'Chokhe Chokhe Kotha Bolo', 'Phoole Gondho Nei' and 'Mohuaye Jomechhe Aaj Mou Go'. "In all, Ashaji had sung 66 Bengali puja songs which were mostly singles and some duets," they said. Bengali puja songs are the numbers released before the Durga puja ..
