205. YouTube came as a saviour in 2010 for pop band SANAM which had huge talent but not the connect they desired.

"We had been inactive for a while after we had released original songs in our albums. We realized that the labels weren't looking out for us. We did the DIY [do-it-yourself] thing by shooting and editing our own video and releasing it. We just wanted to get the ball rolling," says Samar Puri, a band member. "Our manager Ben Thomas still recollects the time we'd got a cheque of $800 from YouTube. It was in the second year of our channel being active. That's when he realised that there is money to be made on this platform and it's not just a platform to showcase your talent. It's been growing ever since," says Keshav Dhanraj, another band member. SANAM YouTube channel now has 4.3 million subscribers.

Earlier, the Ernakulam district administration conducted a review of the situation at the airport after the water level in a canal near it started rising. The decision came after four shutters of the Idamalayar dam were opened this morning to release excess water. One shutter of the Idukki dam was also partially opened as a trial run. The opening of the dam shutters had resulted in an increase in the water level in the Periyar river. Heavy rains have been lashing several parts of Kerala for the past few days, leading to a copious inflow into the state's reservoirs.
