The couple shared the heartwarming news through a social media post, describing their newborn as a “bundle of joy.” The announcement was met with an outpouring of congratulations from fellow celebrities, including Manish Malhotra, Neha Dhupia, Huma Qureshi, and Shreya Ghoshal, who extended their best wishes to the new parents. Earlier in September, the couple had confirmed their pregnancy with a touching Instagram post featuring a maternity photoshoot, accompanied by the caption, “On our way to start the best chapter of our lives with hearts full of joy and gratitude.” Katrina and Vicky, who tied the knot in a grand ceremony at Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan on December 9, 2021, have been in the spotlight for their relationship and now embark on their journey into parenthood. Fans and well-wishers continue to celebrate this milestone in the couple’s lives.

Irish author Paul Lynch, winner of the 2023 Booker Prize, recently shared insights into his acclaimed novel ‘Prophet Song’ ahead of his appearance at the Sharjah International Book Fair. The novel, which delves into the insidious nature of authoritarianism and its impact on everyday life, continues to resonate deeply with readers. Lynch spoke with ‘City Times’ about the themes of fear, helplessness, and the grim realities that define his work. He revealed that the inspiration for ‘Prophet Song’ stemmed from observing the fragility of Western liberal democracies, the rise of right-wing politics in Europe, and the global refugee crisis exacerbated by climate change. Lynch’s narrative seeks to articulate modern terror in a manner reminiscent of literary giants like Beckett and Kafka. Reflecting on Irish literature, Lynch highlighted its unique position in world literature, shaped by the legacy of writers such as Yeats, Joyce, and Beckett. He emphasized the transformative power of the English language in Irish hands, a result of historical colonization. Lynch also discussed the role of writers in politically charged times, asserting that fiction should frame questions rather than provide answers. He believes literature serves as a witness to the human condition, exploring the tension between rationality and irrationality, creation and destruction. Drawing from his background in film criticism, Lynch approaches storytelling with a visual lens, crafting narratives that balance complexity and simplicity. Silence, he noted, plays a crucial role in his work, representing the unknown and the unspeakable. Lynch also shared his meticulous writing process, emphasizing the importance of rhythm and meaning. While ‘Prophet Song’ confronts fear and darkness, Lynch aims to evoke empathy rather than intimidation, focusing on the human cost of societal collapse. Winning the Booker Prize, he acknowledged, has validated his work but also pulled him away from writing. Now, Lynch is back at his desk, working on a new novel.
