What is this Masterclass about?

In the News Hour, we take an in-depth look at the news that has been trending and we discuss how this may or may not influence our lives. While doing so we aim to enhance our vocabulary as well as share our opinion and thoughts with each other.

In the first news, A man, identified as Luwizo, got married to the three sisters in Kalehe, in South Kivu, in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Luiz said that he couldn't say no to the three sisters named Natasha, Natalie, and Nadege as they all asked to marry him. People considered it impossible for three women to share one husband, but for them sharing everything has been their life since childhood. Luwizo’s parents didn't attend the wedding as they were against it. In Congo, people are legally allowed to marry more than one person.

In the second news, the more the courtesies, the more the discounts, A K Solanky and Sanjeev Kumar Blake, the managing partners of Dakshin-5 said in a press release. In a novel initiative to encourage good manners among its patrons, a restaurant in Telangana’s Hyderabad has offered “courtesy discounts” by Saying “please”, “thank you”, and “have a nice day” to the restaurant staff at Dakshin-5 in the Khajaguda area of the city and one can get discounts of up to Rs 35. It breaks unpleasantness and will help forge food relationships and cultivate a win-win culture. The newly-opened restaurant serves famous dishes from the South Indian states, including Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana.
