Dec 21, 2024
The popular Netflix series, Stranger Things, has officially completed filming its fifth and final season. On December 10, Netflix announced the news while sharing behind-the-scenes photos from the Stranger Things set. Cast members also took to social media to showcase their love and heartfelt messages for their co-stars and reflect on their journey through the show.
Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike Wheeler, shared a series of photos on Instagram, including a throwback from season one. "We just wrapped Stranger Things Season 5. I'm still in shock," he wrote. "We shot it for a year, and I'll miss my friends and our characters terribly."
Pondering the show's huge popularity, Wolfhard recalled how they were "a bunch of goofy young people" when they first set off, unexpecting of the global phenomenon they would become. "I feel like we're still those people, and I'm lucky to still stand beside them today," he added.
Noah Schnapp, who plays the role of Will Byers, also shared his emotions on social media. "Growing up, I always felt like an outcast, unsure of where I fit in," he wrote. Schnapp acknowledged the challenges of navigating life in the public eye but expressed gratitude for sharing that journey with his "incredible" co-stars.
He described Stranger Things as a "lifetime dream" come true and expressed his gratitude to the creators for the opportunity. "Together, this cast + crew has built something so very special, and I couldn’t be any more excited for the world to see the final chapter," he wrote, adding that the show will forever hold a special place in his heart.
Stranger Things season 5 is expected to premiere on Netflix in 2025.

"Banaras mein hai, Kumbh hai aur bahut hi emotional trauma hai. Ye journey of life hai, har aadmi ka jeevan hai…har aadmi se connect karega (It is set in the backdrop of Banaras includes Kumbh. It is an emotional trauma and journey of life which every individual will be able to connect)," he had said earlier.

Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain laid to rest in US
Dec 20, 2024
ZAKIR HUSSAIN was laid to rest on Thursday (19) at a San Francisco cemetery as renowned percussionist A Sivamani and other artistes performed on their drums at a little distance away in a tribute to the tabla maestro.
Hussain, one of the world’s most accomplished percussionists, died at a San Francisco hospital on Monday (16) due to complications arising from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease. He was 73.
Hundreds of his admirers gathered at Hussain's funeral to pay their last respects. Sivamani and several other musicians played drums at a little distance away to pay him a tribute.
Sivamani said, "Rhythm is God, that is you Zakir bhai. I learned a lot in our journey from 1982 till now. Every moment you are here with us in the rhythm. Every time I hit the rhythm, you are there. We love you Zakir Bhai. Have a lovely journey. Please give my pranam to all the masters."
Hussain, the son of the legendary tabla player Alla Rakha, revolutionised the instrument, taking it beyond the limits of classical music to other forms, including jazz and Western classical.
The celebrated musician, one of India’s most well-known, received four Grammy Awards in his career spanning six decades, including three at the 66th Grammy Awards earlier this year.
Hussain is survived by his wife Antonia Minnecola and daughters Anisa Qureshi and Isabella Qureshi.
Hussain received the Padma Shri in 1988, the Padma Bhushan in 2002, and the Padma Vibhushan in 2023.
In his career spanning six decades, the musician worked with several renowned international and Indian artistes, but it was his 1973 musical project with English guitarist John McLaughlin, violinist L. Shankar, and percussionist T.H. 'Vikku' Vinayakram that brought together Indian classical and elements of jazz in a fusion hitherto unknown.
Sivamani after Hussain's death in a Facebook post said he would go to San Francisco to see him for the last time.
"No Zakir Bhai, you cannot leave us like this. This is just unbelievable. I'm on the way to San Francisco. I want to see you, one last time. I want to hold your hands, my brother, my Guru. I'm devastated. life will never be the same again," Sivamani had said.
Messages of condolence poured in on social media as the news of Hussain's demise spread. Prime minister Narendra Modi called him a true genius who revolutionised the world of Indian classical music.
Grammy winner musician Ricky Kej remembered Hussain for his "immense humility, approachable nature".
"One of the greatest musicians and personalities India has ever produced. Along with being the best himself, Zakirji was known for...being responsible for the careers of numerous musicians, who are now forces to reckon with themselves. He was a treasure trove of skill and knowledge and always shared and encouraged the entire music community through collaborations and his actions. His legacy will live on forever, and his influence will be felt for generations. He left us too soon," Kej had written on X after his demise.
