We’ve known for a couple of weeks now what the ROG Ally X entails. It’s using the same Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip under the hood, the same 7-inch 1080p display up front, and an overall build that’s similar to the original model.

Reviewing Mr. and Mrs. Mahi is a bit difficult. Not because it’s a brilliant piece of cinema that merits deep analysis. Neither is it a terrible creation that warrants rage through words. It’s actually one of those films that falls right in the middle. You watch it, smile at some portions, appreciate a few parts and then forget it when the end credits roll. The idea is good. A failed cricketer Mahendra Aggarwal aka Mahi (Rajkummar Rao) from a middle-class family gets into a typical arranged marriage with an educated girl training to be a doctor, Mahima aka Mahi (Janhvi…

Question: We stay in a multi-storied apartment in Dubai, with no parks or open spaces nearby. Some children from neighbouring apartments get together to play in the common area.

However, our building management has sent out an email to some tenants, saying the practice is illegal. Is it true? What are our legal rights? Can they physically stop the children from getting together and interact quietly? Answer: In the emirate of Dubai common areas of a building…
