Kolkata, June 6 (Ians) He prefers to be called 'The Seeker'. To protect his anonymity, he communicates through Twitter handle '@TheSeeker268', with the logo of a little-known tribal art of Bankura or Birbhum but this West Bengal man, who is in his late 20s and probably from Kolkata, has been responsible for challenging the conventional theory that Sars-Cov-2 was a spillover from animals and to show how it was a lab leak from Wuhan Institute of Virology (Wiv).
A member of Drastic wondered if Sars-CoV-2 might have emerged through some genetic mixing and matching from a lab working with RaTG13 or related viruses. His post was cogent and comprehensive and I posted the theory on Reddit after which my account was permanently suspended. This aroused my suspicion further," 'The Seeker' wrote.

An impeccably dressed man drags on a cigarette at Lax, the smoke matching the color of his close-cropped hair. The Who’s “The Seeker” plays on the soundtrack as he gets into a cab. At his motel, he notices the return address on the back of an envelope. Suddenly, he’s standing in front of that same address. Then he’s on a plane. Then he’s in a car, staring at a picture of a young woman — who appears onscreen as a girl a split-second later, the flashback looking like a purplish,...

Bernardo Barreto: 'I thought, what about the corruption that lives inside of us. Are we really this kind of Brazilian people who will accept everything with no discrimination of any kind?' Photo: Courtesy of Tallinn Black Nights Bernardo Barreto's The Seeker (O Buscador) - which had its premiere at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival last week - stews us in the family politics of an upper middle-class Brazilian clan. Isabella (Mariana Molina) is returning to her family home for the first time in four years with her counter-culture boyfriend (Pierre Santos) in tow. It's Father's Day but she arrives to protests outside the gates, calling for her dad's arrest. As the pair enter the house, Baretto switches to a single take that emphasises the claustrophobia as the family's secrets and tensions begin to spill out. We sat down for a chat with actor-turned-writer/director Barreto - who won...

Dolly Parton is celebrating a half-century of being an official Grand Ole Opry member with “Dolly Parton: 50 Years at the Opry,” a two-hour special that airs tonight on NBC. But if you want to talk about how long she’s really been associated with the Opry, she’s not bashful about noting that you can actually tag another 10 years onto that number.
“A lot of people think this is my 50th year at the Grand Ole Opry. It’s actually been 60, because the first time I got to sing on the Opry, I was 13 years old,” Parton explained at a press event before going into the auditorium to film the new special. “But then the night that I became a member after I was working with ‘The Porter Wagoner Show’ — and got to actually be a member 50 years ago this year — was one of the highlights of my whole life...

Hey, Grey's Anatomy fans. We've got some very interesting, new casting details to share with you guys. We previously reported that Grey's Anatomy's leading character Meredith Grey will be finding love again in this new season 15, and her love journey will supposedly start in the next, new episode 4 which is labeled, " Momma Knows." ABC has released plenty of promotional stuff for the episode from promo clips to sneak peeks, but they haven't revealed who this mystery guy is that Meredith will be dating in this new episode. The folks over at People.com were kind enough to help out with that. Somehow, some way they were able to find out who will be playing Meredith's possible, new love interest. They said they can exclusively confirm that it is former " How I Met Your Mother" actor Josh Radnor. That's right guys. You can expect to see Meredith going on a...
