Waiuku local reimagining Agatha Christie in Hindi
Kia ora neighbours,
Sridhar Kallidai has been reading Agatha Christie’s world-famous mystery novels ever since he was a child. He and his siblings fought over who would read new copies first.
Now he is in the midst of producing a feature film adaptation of Christie’s first ever novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, first published in October 1916.
Kallidai and co-producer Mukhtiar Singh have reimagined it as ‘Summerville Murder’, starring Christie’s beloved Hercule Poirot – but with a twist.
The entire film is in Hindi and Poirot is reimagined as Harkishan Purohit, a genteel detective with that distinctive moustache (although Kallidai hopes Singh, playing Purohit, can grow it out a bit more).

Thinking of going duck hunting this year?
Hi neighbours - to those of you taking part in the opening weekend of duck season, or beyond, the team at Te Tari Pūreke – Firearms Safety Authority hope you will stay safe. We’ve got some simple hints, tips and useful links on our hunter safety page.
Make this duck season a great one by following the seven rules of firearms safety. We urge duck hunters to treat every shotgun in the maimai as loaded, and to save the drinks until after firearms have been safely locked away for the day. Remember, it takes more than luck to bag a duck.
