Just 10 minutes by boat from the Maldivian capital, Male, a floating city large enough to accommodate 20,000 people is under construction. The reason for this is the risk to the Maldives due to the rapid rise in sea level.

Designed in the shape of a brain-shaped coral reef, the city has 5,000 floating units, including homes, restaurants, shops, and schools, including canals. The first units will be unveiled this month, with residents starting to move in early 2024 and the entire city is expected to be completed by 2027.

This project is a joint venture between the Government of the Maldives and another joint venture. The city was built as a practical solution to the harsh reality of sea-level rise.

The Maldives, an archipelago of 1,190 low-lying islands, is one of the world’s most vulnerable to climate change. 80% of its land area is less than a meter above sea level, and by the end of the century, levels are forecast to rise to one meter, thus flooding almost the entire country. But if a city floats, it can rise with the sea. The founder of Waterstudio, the architecture firm that designed the city, told foreign media that this was a “new hope” for more than half a million people in the Maldives.

Indian media reports that KGF 2, RRR, The Kashmir Files, Vikram, and Bhul Bhulia 2 are the highest-grossing films of 2022 so far.

Halfway through 2022, and this year, as in the past two years, the Covid epidemic has delayed filming, despite spending huge sums. However, in January, unexpectedly, South Indian films began to be shown, and the five films managed to break box office records. These films are still on the box office list. South Indian films have managed to break box office records more than Bollywood films.

BTS, the South Korean band that has won a huge fan base around the world, has announced that they will be taking a break for a while. The BTS band is known around the world for its attractive looks and enthusiastic songs.

All men in South Korea between the ages of 18 and 28 must serve in the military for about 20 months. In 2020, BTS members were given a special opportunity to delay their service for up to 30 years.

The K-pop band has announced that they will take some time to focus on individual projects. Even top bands like the Beatles and the Backstreet Boys, who have won fan hearts around the world, are on the verge of taking a break or breaking up at the height of their careers.
