He has been with Westlifefor almost 13 years, but

now he’s going solo. ShaneFilan, one of the founders ofboy band Westlife, is in townto release his EP, followed byhis album titled ‘You and Me’due in November. Seated atHard Rock Café Lower Parel,the 33-year-old says it’s greatto be back.Shane, who visited India

with the band in 2003 for theMTV Immies, is now married

with three kids. He revealsthat his new album is a per-sonal testimony of his familyand more importantly hiswife. “Life has taken a turn Iguess and going solo wasnever on my mind at all, itwas something I did not wantto undertake. But then I havea family and I needed to pro-vide for them. So I thoughtwhy not start all again. Al-most all of the songs are onmy wife Gillian,” explainsShane, who co-wrote a cou-ple ofWestlife’s songs and has

now penned all the songs onthe EP and the album.“The songs are very emo-

tional, very positive. It’s try-ing to tell people not toworry. We all have ups anddowns, but you have to bepositive and move on,” headds.Going back in time, Shane

says he can’t forget the gooddaysWestlife spent together.When asked about why theband split in June last year,he said that he felt it coming

since the last two or threeyears. “I knew there would bea day when we would all goour own ways, but no oneknew when. We finally de-cided on it last year and hadour last farewell concert.” Be-sides himself however, no onefrom the band has thought ofa solo career as yet. “I am theonly one who has made amove musically again. I haveno idea what the others planto do in the future,” saysShane adding that all themembers are still in touchwith one another and stillmeet when possible.On the verge of a solo ca-

reer before him, Shane isn’tworried about the responsehe will get to the album.“Many love Westlife and Ithink this is an extension tothemusic that wemade; onlythis time it’s done by one per-son. And as far as Asia is con-cerned, it’s the best place formusic,” he says matter-of-factly.With his last promo per-

formance last night at a cityhotel, Shane leaves tomorrowfor the Far East. We look for-ward to his visit again.

OnTuesday, NowrosjeeWadia Maternity Hospital atParel celebrated the first birthday of Aarsh Singh, a

child fromNavi Mumbai who is the fourth such case ofVaccine-Derived Poliovirus (VDPV) type 2, recorded inthe country this year.“We did not have any plans to celebrate Aarsh’s birth-

day but when the doctors and the hospital staff insistedthat there should be celebrations, we agreed”, saidAarsh’s father, Tejbahadur Singh.Aarsh, whowas born in Bihar, was brought toWadia

hospital two and a half months ago with a history ofcold, loose motions and mild fever. He was also ex-hibiting symptoms like looseness in the body andhead lag. His condition then deteriorated further andthere came a point in time, when he had to be put ona ventilator. After ruling out possibilities like the Guil-lianBarre Syndrome and Transverse myelitis, it wasfound out that Aarsh was suffering from Vaccine-De-rived Poliovirus (VDPV) type 2.“It was shocking for all of us. It was painful to see my

child unable tomovehis hands and legs.That phasewasvery difficult”, said Aarsh’s aunt, Aarti Singh.But the familywashopeful that Aarshwould comeout

of it and yester-day (September24) they sawtheir hopes turn-ing into reality.“He is much

better now.There is move-ment in hishands and hisright leg. He isable to laugh. Hewill recoversoon”, saidTejbahadur. Thec e l e b r a t i o n sstarted off withAarsh beingbrought out ofhis room thatwas speciallydecorated for hisbirthday to cut acake. The staffsang the birth-day song andwished him aspeedy recovery.

The next academic yearmight see students studying

in BMC schools referring to anadditional text that will talkabout health, as the BMC plansto introduce a separate healtheducation curriculum as part ofthe syllabus. This plan wasthought of after the BMC re-ceived a good response fromstudents in schools where theyhad held awareness campaignsabout dengue.“We have a team that is ded-

icated to conducting suchawareness programs in bothprivate and BMC run schools.The response has been verygood.Till date, we have coveredaround 183 schools,” said Dr.Mangala Gomare, Deputy Exec-utive Health Officer, BMC.Speaking about how the idea

to introduce a separate healtheducation curriculum in theschool syllabus, AdditionalMu-nicipal CommissionerManishaMhaiskar said, “Children arevery receptive and also good atpassing on themessage to their

family members and friends. Itis through children that we in-tend reaching out tomore peo-ple in the community.”The health curriculum will

be a part of the syllabus for stu-

dents from standard one tostandard seven in the form of aseparate book which will haveinformation about health anddiseases appropriate for theage. The quantity and nature of

information will vary from onegrade to another.“By next Junewe plan to have

the book ready and implementthis in the coming academicyear,” said Mhaiskar.

BMC schools to have separate textbook on health

Food for TB patientsThe BMC plans to start a pilot project in the L ward wherenutritional supplements would be provided to TB patients who aretaking the Directly Observed Treatment, short course (DOTS) andDOTS-plus course, as the BMC realises that the lack of nutritiousfood leading to compromised immunity is also a cause for TB.

Protein-rich breakfastThe protein-rich breakfastmenu for resident doctors thatwas introduced on August 15at the Sion Hospital seems tohave satisfactory results. TheBMC has now planned toextend this initiative to KEMand Nair hospitals as well.“After the protein richbreakfast was introduced atSion Hospital, the number ofresident doctors havingbreakfast increased fourfold.Members of MARD have alsookayed. So, a similar proteinrich breakfast will be madeavailable for resident doctorsat KEM and Nair hospitalsfrom October,” said AdditionalMunicipal CommissionerManisha Mhaiskar.

MUMBAI | WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2013 PHOTO FEATURE 03Death of a TaxiTwenty years. That’s the

state governmentsentence on the scores of

Premier Padminis trawling thecity in their distinctive blackand yellow uniforms. At onetime as distinctive for Mumbaias the London taxi, the officialban on these cabs that aremore than 20 years old, meanthat they go off the roads.

Since August, nearly 400have disappeared into scrapdealers’ havens.

Our Sushil Kadam followeda few into this workshop inByculla and was stunned atthe speed and ferocity withwhich they were dealt with.

Twenty years on the road,20 minutes to oblivion. Thedealer said he receivesaround 25 such cars everyday. Seven or eight men dealwith a single vehicle and bringa chilling efficiency to whatthey do.

And another piece ofBombayana bites the dust.

A Padmini dressed up as a taxi could soon be a rare sighting for Mumbaikars, as Altos and Santros take over

At the Byculla workshop, the mechanics cajole a “victim” inside They start at the beginning, lifing off the body from the chassis The work develops its own momentum, now down to the windscreen

Over easy, let’s get at that axle that has served so faithfully

Ground into dust, there’s nothing left. RIP PadminiEnough fuss and the engine is removed with brutal efficiency and a minimum of emotion

Now for the tyres, always a concern,easy to salvage and re-sell

After all these years, that steeringstill looks good

The NCP is in no mood torelent and has once again

trained its guns on the ChiefMinister Prithviraj Chavanover the finalisation of a com-prehensive rehabilitationplan for Mumbra residents.

Last week, another build-ing collapsed inMumbra andwas the third such disaster inthe minority-dominatedtownship in a span of sixmonths. Till date, 87 peoplehave died in three collapsesin Mumbra. Almost 90 percent of the buildings inMum-bra are illegal and develop-ment norms simply don’tseem to exist, given the crim-inal nexus between thebuilders, bureaucrats andpoliticians. Significantly, theNCP is vociferously demand-ing the rehabilitation of theseillegal residents.

State NCP Working Presi-dent, Jitendra Awhad, has de-cided to undertake anindefinite fast over the longpending cluster developmentissue of Mumbra township.Awhad, who is also the MLArepresenting the Mumbra-Kalwa Assembly con-stituency, has said that thissituation has arisen as thestate government has failedto take a decision on the de-mand for cluster develop-ment in the area.The CM, who heads the

Housing as well as the UrbanDevelopment Departments,has invited bitter criticism.Awhad said, “How manymore deaths will it take forthe government to wake up?We have been pleading for aspeedy decision on the clus-ter development of thesecongested colonies. If thestate government fails to fi-nalise a comprehensive reha-bilitation plan for theseresidents, I will resort to anindefinite hunger strike fromOctober 4.”The issue of the permanent

rehabilitation of the residentsof illegal buildings threatensto snowball into a major po-litical controversy. TheThaneMunicipal Corporation(TMC) will soon start a Geo-graphic Information System(GIS) to map properties in

Seven years after the Bri-hanmumbai Municipal

Corporation (BMC) mergedland belonging to the WadiaTrust, in the Mithi riverwidening project in 2006, the

Bombay High Court on Tues-day directed the civic body tofinally clear its stand on pay-ing a compensation of Rs. 430crore following a petitionfiled by theWadias.The direction came from

the division bench of Justice

S.C. Dharmadhikari and Jus-tice G.S. Patel on Tuesday,which was hearing a petitionfiled by the trust last year thatstated that their land admea-suringover 12, 000 squareme-ters was merged in the MithiRiverWideningProject under-taken by the civic body afterthe 2005Mumbai deluge.“Since July 2006, we have

been sending letters to thecivic body seeking compen-sation. On January 1, 2008 thecorporation sent a letter stat-ing that a policy regardingcompensation in lieu of theland acquired for the riverwidening project is being fi-nalised. However, till datenothing has been done,”stated the petition.Reacting to this, the court

was informed by the BMClawyer that there are severalclaims for compensationfiled and pending before thecivic body. Hearing bothsides, the division bench toldthe BMC, “The BMC officerswent and widened the riverand hence the land wasmerged. It is not that the riverchanged its course leading tothis. However, we cannot de-cide on the quantum of com-pensation. That is up to thecivic body.” The bench di-rected the civic body to take astand within two weeks.

NGO submits contempt complaintagainst Thane police

By A Staff Reporter

In a follow-up to Monday’sstoppage of the destruc-tion ofmangroves at Saket

in Thane, Dayanand Nene,president of the NGO AlertCitizens of Thane City, hassubmitted a complaint inwriting to the Chief Justice,BombayHigh Court, asking itto take note of the Contemptcommitted by the Thane po-lice department in respect ofthe its order delivered in Oc-tober 2005.According to the order, the

High Court had given “pro-tected status” to mangroveson government land, andthat of “forests” formangroveland under private ownershipin the state. It has prohibiteddamage to them in any form.In the judgment, the Bench

of Chief Justice DalveerBhandari and Justice Dr. D.Y.Chandrachud left no one indoubt when it said: "Thereshall be a total freeze on thedestruction and cutting ofmangroves in the entire State

of Maharashtra."The order banned the

dumping of debris in man-grove areas and forbade "anyauthority" from granting per-mission for development ac-tivity in them.The Bench said no applica-

tions for development shouldbe entertained "regardless ofthe nature of ownership" ofthe land. It also banned con-struction within 50 meters ofthe mangroves. The twoJudges asked the CoastalZone Management Authority(CZMA) to file monthly re-ports to the court. They alsoauthorized the Principal Sec-retaries of the Forest, Revenueand Environment Depart-ments to ensure complianceof the order, and directed theState government to assignthe District Magistrate andthe Deputy Commissioner ofPolice to act on complaintsfrom the public. Hence theactivity of dumping tons ofdebris and sand on the man-groves in a long operationconducted fromSaturday and

ending only on Monday on adirect order from deputy

mayor Milind Patankar, iscompletely inexplicable.

The Forest Department hasbeen given the task of clearing

debris from mangrove landand prosecuting those abus-ing such land. It will also havethe responsibility of replantingmangroves in areas where thegrowth is less than40per cent.Dumping debris clandes-

tinely, usually under cover ofdarkness, is a favourite ployof builders to claim that thelandwas already in existence,saysMr Nene. They do this incollusion with the local au-thorities, and many buildershave got away with a lot of il-legal reclamation. However,satellite maps can prove thestatus of various operationsand give the lie to claims ofpre-existing land. Despite allthis, the destruction of man-groves continues.The letter to theHighCourt

points out that theThane po-lice has openly flouted courtorders and thus committedcontempt in respect of thearea belonging to them nearthe Saket Complex. It alsopleaded for action to be takenimmediately against the con-cerned authorities.

Damage done on police department land near the Saket Complex in Thane. Notice the tongue of earth anddebris moving towards the nullah on the right, blockage of which will cause immense hardship to people on theother side of the highway to the left of the activity, where it joins up with another water body.

MCOCA invoked in KumarPillai extortion case

By Neel Shah

Nearly amonth after the ar-rest of three gangsters for

threatening and extortingmoney from LegislatorMangesh Sangle’s brotherArvind, Mumbai’s crimebranch invoked the stringentMCOCA in the case.Considering the involve-

ment of gangster KumarPillai,the stringent act was invokedon September 20, said thepolice.On August 18, at around 10

am, Kiran Dhanawde, oneamong the three arrested ac-cused, barged into Arvind’shouse at Vikhroli and madethe latter talk to Pillai on hiscell phone. Pillai demandedan extortion of Rs. 75 lakhfrom Arvind and threatenedto kill him if he didnot payup.“More arrests are possible

in the case for which policehas taken the accused intocustody to interrogate them,”

said Venkat Patil, Senior In-spector, UnitVII.The arrests of the gangsters

in this case hadbrought to thefore the shifting loyalties ofgang members, as two of thethree accused initially be-longed to gangster-turned-terrorist Dawood Ibrahim’sfaction, before moving toKumar Pillai’s faction, said thepolice.The accused, Ramdas Ra-

hane and Dhanawade, wereknown for working with theD-gang and had even carrieda few shootouts in the city asper the instructions of the D-gang, informed a crimebranch official.The duo was incarcerated

at Arthur Road jail and camein contact with Vinod D.Ghogle, who is associatedwith the Pillai faction. Duringthe incarceration Rahane andDhanawade spoke to Ghogleabout working for Pillai, saidInspector Sanjay Surve adding

that Ghogle had then passedon the message to Pillaithrough the latter’s associates,who would visit Ghogle dur-ing his court hearings.In February, Dhanawade

was released on bail andwould meet Rahane andGhogle during their courthearings and a plan washatched in which Ghogle in-structed Dhanawde to extortmoney from Arvind.Sleuths from Unit-VII scru-

tinised a year’s record of thenotorious criminalswhowereout on bail. After goingthrough the records police ze-roed inonDhanawade,whoseface matched the sketchmade by the police as per thedetails given by the victim.After Dhanawade’s arrest,

the police were able to suc-cessfully nab Rahane andGhogle, who were coolingtheir heels inside Arthur Roadprison.

In a desperate attempt tograb a piece of the rede-velopment pie, un-

scrupulous builders seem tobe running an empire ofhooliganism in the twin-city.This was revealed when an18-year-old girl was attackedby goons in the staircase ofher residential building inMira Road late on Mondaynight.The girl, who has been

identified asDipti Gosal, wasapparently attacked for re-fusing tomove out of her flatin Chandresh Terrace build-ing and also for exposing ir-regularities by some officerbearers of the residential so-ciety who were soliciting theso-called redevelopmentproject in a purely unlawfulmanner. Built in 1997, thethree-storey Chandresh Ter-race building having threewings, has recently beenlisted as a dangerous struc-ture by the Mira BhayandarMunicipal Corporation(MBMC) - a move whichGosal allegedwas undemoc-ratic and on the behest ofsome office bearers of thesociety who had vested in-terests in evicting flat own-ers, after falselymanipulating the building asunfit for human habitation.Gosal, was also threat-

ened by goons who hadbarged into her house lastweek, following which a no-cognizable (NC) complaintwas registered at the MiraRoad police station. Unde-terred by the threats, Gosalcontinued to seek informa-tion under the RTI act fromthe civic body about the au-thenticity of structural au-dits and subsequentdemolition attempts. Thisapparently led to a brutal at-tack on her with a blade byunidentified goons at about10:30 pm on Monday. Withinjuries on her neck, Gosal

was rushed to BhagwatiHospital, where her condi-tion was said to be stable.

Initially the police regis-tered a NC, but after the in-tervention of Aaam AadmiParty (AAP) activists, the NCwas converted into an FIR.“We have registered a caseunder section 324 of the In-dian Penal Code, against anunidentified person and in-vestigations into the casewere on”, confirmed SeniorPolice Inspector DhanajiKshirsagar. “We are notgoing to tolerate such injus-tice. The police will have toregister a case of attempt tomurder”, said AAP activistSaumya Bahadur.

against a BMC ward engineerfor allegedly being part of aschemewhereRs.1.5 lakhweredemanded from the owner ofa furniture and interior shop.While a local socialworker hasalready been arrested, the en-

the proprietor of Riddhi Cur-tains on the RRT Road atMu-lund (west), had beenthreatened by a local socialworker Pankaj Chandanshivefor exposing an alleged illegalconstruction that the formerhad undertaken. “Chandan-shive accused him of con-structing an illegal residentialproperty above his shop. Hedemanded Rs.1.5 lakh fromthe complainant failingwhich he would bring theunauthorised construction tolight and the civic officialswould later demolish it. Thecomplainant did not wish to

pay and approached us fol-lowing which we registered acase and arrested Chandan-shive”, said an officer of theMulund Police Station.However, in the process of

investigation, the cops learntthe involvement of BMC en-gineer Pramod Waghmare,who is attached to the localward office.

there is a necessity for the ACs.According to the heritage conser-

Mumbai Heritage ConservationCommittee, BMC, says, “The pro-posal sent by the varsity stated thatthe balcony inside the convocation

hall will be permanently blocked.The air-conditioning could alsocause damage to the structure withits sudden cooling and we don’twant to take any risks.”According to sources, the varsity

has proposed the installation of atotal of 120 tons of air-conditioningin its convocation hall.

Rajesh Ashar, Owner of Tech-nofreez Corporation, and air-condi-tioning expert who has installedair-conditioners inside various her-itage structures, says, “As the varsityis close to the sea, there is humidityinside the convocation hall. TheACswill lower the climate in the halland reduce the maintenance of thestructure. There will be no harm inthe installation.”The varsity is currently using

the court for permission for rally at ShivajiPark, the Bombay HC had allowed it for onlyone year.The court had also directed the Senato organise the rally at the MMRDA Groundsin Bandra (East) from 2013 onwards.Meanwhile, the court had also barred the

use of conventional loudspeakers and di-rected that a distributed sound system in-volving low-wattage amplifiers be usedinstead. Besides, the HC directed that theground be restored the next day.Mayor Sunil Prabhu said, “Dussehra rally is

the legacy of our party and we have been or-ganising it at Shivaji Park for the last fourdecades. This year too, we would like to hold

Court rejects activist’s petitionagainst Salman in hit-and-run caseBy Philip Varghese

Twomonths after actor Salman Khan’s counsel had ob-jected to the intervention of social activist Santosh

Daundkar in the 2002 hit-and-run case, stating that in acriminal trial, a third person who is not a part of the casehas no locus standi (a right to appear in a court) to inter-vene, the Sessions Court accepted the contention of thecounsel and rejected the activist’s petition.It can be recalled that in July, Daundkar had moved an

application through his advocate Abha Singh before thecourt, praying that he be allowed to carry forward the alle-gations he had made before the Magistrate’s Court whichwas hearing the case earlier, before it slapped themore se-rious charge of culpable homicide not amounting to mur-der, leading to the case being transferred to a higher court.On December 3 last year, the activist had moved a com-

plaint before the AdditionalMetropolitanMagistrate Courtin Bandra, claiming that the police had intentionally de-layed the trial by not issuing and serving the summons ontime, had issued summons to the wrong witnesses, andhad called doctors for evidencewhowere not the oneswhohad conducted the postmortem of the deceased, amongothers. The magistrate had ordered a judicial inquiry intothe allegations, the report of which is pending.While hearing the case on Tuesday, Judge S. D. Desh-

pande ruled that only an aggrieved party, complainant orwitness had a right to intervene. “In this case, the applicantwas neither awitness, nor a complainant, nor an aggrievedparty. Hence, he could not be allowed to intervene,” thecourt said, while rejecting another rof Daundkar’s pleasseeking a transfer of his complaint from the Magistrate’sCourt to the Sessions court about perjury action againstSalman and the police for allegedly producing wrong wit-nesses in this case, resulting in the delay of the trial.At this, the judge said, “I have no jurisdiction to transfer

the complaint. You should approach a higher court or thePrincipal Judge of the Sessions Court in this regard.”Meanwhile, the court deferred its order on Salman’s plea

for a direction to themedia to report the true and fair pro-ceedings of the case. “Salman had alreadymoved the HighCourt by filing a defamation and civil suit against somemedia channels for allegedly not reporting the proceedingsof the case correctly. As thematter was pending in theHighCourt, we cannot give any ruling. The High Court had al-

10 tonnes of red sandlers seized in PanvelBy Khushboo Panjabi

Prakash P Kunnuswami (37)and Bhoji Unnuskodi (34)from Chennai, have been ar-rested and are being interro-gated. While sources haveconfirmed that the consign-ment was to be smuggled toDubai, police officials aredenying having informationabout the people involved inthe illicit trade of red sandal-wood.

“We detected a consign-ment weighing 10 tonneswhich belonged to a personbased in Chennai. He had de-clared the goods to be co-

conuts packed in gunny bags.During the checkwe found 36gunny bags of coconuts keptabove 262 pieces of red san-dalwood worth Rs. 3 crore in

the internationalmarket,” saidKrishna Aloorker, AssociateConservator of Forests, Pan-vel-Alibag Forest Division.The two have been booked

under Sections 41 and 42 ofthe Indian Forest Act and Sec-tions 379, 120 (b) for conspir-acy and Section 34 of theIndian Penal Code and bothwill be produced before thecourt. In most cases of smug-gling, this rare variety ofwood,which has been banned fortrade, is taken from TamilNadu and the Nallamallaforests in Andhra Pradesh andsent to Gujarat via Rajasthan.It fetches ahighprice in the in-ternational market especiallyinChina and Japanbecauseofitsmedicinal value.

TheMulund Police has arrested the di-rector of a tyre manufacturing com-

pany in connection with a Rs.48 lakhcheating case where he allegedly dupedanother firm of its payment due towards

the supply of raw materials. The sameperson was also arrested earlier for al-legedly cheating another firm of Rs.6crore.According to the complaint filed by an

official from Om Traders, the companyhadbeen supplyingMonotonaTyreswithcoal,which is required in the latter’sman-ufacturing unit. “The complainant hasstated that Monotona did not pay themthe due amount of Rs.48 lakh for coalsupplied in 2010. Monotona suddenlyclaimed that the coalwasof inferior qual-ity and threatened to debit Rs.25 lakhfrom the purchase order. They are alleg-ing cheatingby reasoning that the inferiorquality of the coal should have beenbrought to notice in 2010 itself and not

nowwhichmakesMonotona’s intentionssuspicious.We have therefore registereda case of cheating and arrested one of itsdirectorsKedarAggarwal”, saidPIM.PatilfromMulund Police Station.Aggarwal will now be produced in

Fish-lovers have good reason toworry. If an amendment to theWildlife Protection Amend-

ment Bill 2013, presently pending inParliament comes through, they’llbe left with little choice but to shellout premium sums to buy ‘specifi-cally farm-bred’ fish or simplychange their eating habits. Thatapart, lakhs of persons, associateddirectly or indirectly with fishingacross the nation, particularly Ma-harashtra and SassoonDocks in thecity, will be hit the worst.“It’s impossible to pass an

amendment of this sort,” says Aad-har Pratisthan President KrishnaPawle who has recently launchedthe Save Sassoon Docks Campaignto safeguard the interests of thou-sands of people associated withSassoon Docks activities.“Making a living could well be-

come tougher for fisherfolk allover,” he says, referring to the pro-posed amendment in the WildlifeProtection Amendment Bill, 2013which is presently pending in theParliament.Incidentally, three national con-

servation organisations have of-fered their inputs demandingchanges in the proposed WildlifeProtection Amendment Bill, 2013after it was put up for the public togive their suggestions and opinions.The Amendment bill has been in-troduced in the Rajya Sabha in thecurrent session.The three organisations --

Wildlife Society of Orissa, WildlifeProtection Society of India andAaranyak, a Guwahati-basedNGO -- have expressed fears that if theamendment in passed in the Parlia-ment it would drastically affect the

livelihood of lakhs of fishermenacross the nation.According to the provisions of

Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, the‘wild animals’ that are listed in theSchedule I toVI are the only ones of-fered protection from hunting,trade and possession. In the pro-posed amendment, Section 2 (j) ofthe bill proposes to change the def-inition of thewild animal to any an-

imal specified in Schedules I to IV orfound wild in nature. The term ‘an-imal’ is defined very broadly in Sec-tion 2(1) of the Act to includemammals, birds, reptiles, amphib-ians, fish, other chordates and in-vertebrates and also their youngand eggs.This would mean that all the ani-

mals found wild in nature will beconsidered wild animals under the

proposed Act. Accordingly, all thefishes, other than the farm-bredfish, will be consideredwild animalsand will come under the purview oflaw. This has raised concerns andthe wildlife workers believe if theamendment bill is accepted as is, itmay turn the practice of fishing innatural wetlands in the country intoan offence under the Wildlife (Pro-tection) Act.

Together, these conservationgroups have filed a memorandumfor removal of Section 44 of theWildlife Protection Act AmendmentBill, 2013 through the joint directorof the Rajya Sabha directorate, ask-ing for the withdrawal of Section 44of the amendment bill.As per Section 44 of the Act, no

personwill be allowed to sell fish, orcook it and serve it unless he has alicense from the Chief Wild LifeWarden of the relevant state, and asper Section 49, no person will be al-lowed to purchase fish unless it isfrom a dealer authorised under Sec-tion 44.This will have a major impact on

the livelihood of millions of peopleinvolved in fisheries. The Act is acriminal legislation and for it to bestrictly enforceable, it is desirablethat the crimes it provides for areclear and precise to all persons. Di-luting the definition of wild animalas suchwill take away from the clar-ity and precision of the Act, andhence affect its enforceability.And if the amendment gets ac-

cepted, only those businessmenpossessing licenses from the ChiefWildlife Warden will be able tocatch fish in wetlands and sell thesame. Furthermore, it will be con-sidered an offence under theWildlife (Protection) Act if fish isprocured from unlicensed tradersor even cooked. Such a violationcould lead to imposition of fine upto Rs 25,000 and jail term up tothree years. The amendment willhave to go, if public interest is to beupheld.

tara district which has now got ridof that tag and has bagged severalstate and national awards for itswork in afforestation, adoptingnon-conventional energy sourcesand reaping a bumper harvesteach year. Lodhwade, a villagebarely 80 kms away from Satara,was notoriously known to be aperennially scarcity prone village.Today the village has abundantyear round water sources, meetsall its energy requirementsthrough solar power and has 862hectares of land under cultivation.By the way, the incumbent Agri-culture Commissioner PrabhakarDeshmukh hails from this very vil-lage.The village which once struggled

to produce any crop a year, todayproduces onions, sugarcane,jowar, wheat, corn, bajra, ground-nuts and other cash crops. Wellaware of the importance of water,the villagers have built check-dams, percolation ponds andplanting 35,000 trees on barrenland around the village thus en-suring year-round availability ofwater. The villagers have not restedwith that, they recycle the waste

water and reuse it. It is significantto note that all the houses in thevillage are registered in the nameof the women folk.Embracing the concept of en-

ergy conservation, all the homes inthe village are fitted with solarpanels that provide electricity. Be-sides this all the homes use smoke-less solar cookers. Due to its

several initiatives in March 2006the village bagged the NirmalGram award from the then Presi-dent of India, Dr. A P J AbdulKalam. Today the village earns an

annual income of Rs 3 to Rs 4 lakhthrough cultivation of cash cropsand horticulture. For the last threeyears Lodhwade village has neverexperienced scarcity.

IF THIS ACT GOES THROUGH...

Perennially drought-prone Lodhwadeovercomes scarcity The village now meets all its energy requirements

MUCH is being made of the TDP’s im-pending return to the NDA. It’s cer-tainly ironic, considering

ChandrababuNaidu hadwalked out of the al-liance because of the man who is now itsprimeministerial candidate, NarendraModi,as a mark of protest against the 2002 com-munal violence in Gujarat. But apart fromproving that there are no permanent friendsor enemies in politics, the expected reunionof erstwhile allies is nothingmore than one ofthose meaningless manoeuvres that politi-cians hope will fool voters.Consider these realities. The BJP has virtu-

ally no footprint in Seemandhra and only aminiscule presence in Telengana. Modi’smuch-hyped August rally in Hyderabad wasnothingmore than amedia event. The saffronparty, therefore, brings very little to the tablein this crucial region. The two states togetheraccount for 42 Lok Sabha seats and were thebedrock of the Congress party’s victories in2004 and 2009. Correspondingly, the BJP haslittle to gain from an electoral pact with theTDP. Naidu is scrambling to ward off politicaloblivion himself. TheTRS is poised towalk offwith the spoils inTelengana, having identifieditself with themovement for a separate state.And in Naidu’s backyard of Seemandhra,Congress rebel Jaganmohan Reddy is the onemaking waves because of his strident oppo-sition to the division of the mother state.Naidu has been missing in action in bothplaces and losing ground as a consequence.The reunion then seems to be the result of

extreme desperation on both sides. Modi ison amad hunt for endorsement as a coalitionleader. Naidu is the balm for the wound leftby JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar’s rejection. TheTDPmay bring the NDA only a smattering ofseats, if at all, but Modi hopes to prove to de-tractors and supporters that he can winfriends and influence people. Naidu is clutch-ing on toModi’s coat tails in a craven attemptto regain his lost political stature. Once thedarling of the corporate classes and a majormover and shaker in New Delhi, he believesthat membership of a national alliance withthe promise of a leading role at the Centrewilllure voters to give him another chance.Naidu’s recent mission to Delhi was a time

for confession and repentance. He signed offfrom a possible Left-led Third Front with asorrowful explanation to CPI(M) leaders thattheirs was just a pipe dream. And then hewent for a strategymeeting at Akali Dal leaderNaresh Gujral’s residence with leading lightsof the BJP including Arun Jaitley. With Jagannow out on bail and raring to spearhead his

party’s election campaign in the coastal belt,the Naidu-Modi combo may find it hard torecreate the old NDAmagic.

Modi overshadows Chouhan in MPTHEModi juggernaut seems to be overtak-

ing the Shivraj rath in Madhya Pradesh.The forthcoming assembly elections weresupposed to be BJP chief minister ShivrajSingh Chouhan’s solo show. But ever sinceNarendra Modi was anointed the party’sprime ministerial candidates, his cutouts,banners and posters have dwarfed those ofthe chief minister.Observers in the poll-bound state say that

Chouhan is rapidly losing control of the partyin his state and the election campaign withworkers, local leaders and even governmentministers rushing to curry favourwith the ris-ing star. Chauhan may win a third term forthe BJP in Bhopal but the power axis is inex-orably shifting to Gandhinagar and it’s play-ing havoc with the poll campaign.Ironically, Chouhan had carefully posi-

tioned himself as a counterpoint to Modi bytrying to craft a secular image. He surprisedhis party by donning a skull cap on Id andinviting controversial comparisons withModi. Apparently, the Gujarat chief ministertook umbrage and actually joined issue withChouhan for wearing a skull cap to earnbrownie points with theMuslim community.The MP chief minister has also revived plansto set up a Urdu University in Bhopal. He re-cently allotted six acres of prime land near theairport for the project at an honorary price ofRe. 1 per acre.According to Chouhan’s aides, there are

around 40 assembly segments in whichMus-lims can influence election results.WithModion the ascendant, the chief minister is un-derstandably worried about a Muslim vetoagainst the BJP despite his personal efforts towoo the minorities.Chouhan has another reason to beworried.

For the first time in ten years, the Congressseems to have a cohesive campaign goingwith Jyotiraditya Scindia as a sort-of CM-in-waiting. It’s ironic that there seems to bemoreenthusiasm for the local elections in the Con-gress than in the BJP whose workers havetuned off from the assembly to focus on theLok Sabha polls with Modi as their icon.

Congress to tie up with BSPNARENDRA MODI’S rise seems to have

spooked the Congress into revising its go-it-alone strategy for 2014. According to a well-placed source, talks are on for anunderstanding or a “friendly match” withMayawati’s BSP for the forthcoming assemblypolls inRajasthan.The source said the twopar-ties are close to striking a deal. If it happens, itcould be a precursor for an understanding inUP in the 2014 general elections which coulddramatically alter thepolitical landscape in thestate. UP could decide who will form the nextgovernment, the BJP or the Congress.Interestingly, the discussions are on despite

Rahul Gandhi’s deep distrust of the BSP. SoniaGandhi, on the other hand, enjoys a goodequationwithMayawati.With the threat fromModi growing, the Sonia line seems to be pre-vailing in the Congress.

Ponder awhile…“We live in an age, in an era where thereis so much negativity, there is so muchviolence in the world, there is so muchunrest and people are at war, that Iwanted to promote the word love andred signifies love.”

— Elton John

Unrest inSeemandhraIN what way are the people ofTelangana region different from

those of other parts of AndhraPradesh.What is binding the peopleof all regions of the state is theTelugulanguage. Onwhat grounds is the de-mand for dividing Andhra justified?How can the people of this area jus-tify their sole claim to Hyderabad.Under great pressure, theUPA gov-

ernment at the Centre has workedout a solution: Hyderabadwill be thejoint capital for 10 years. If at all thenew plan works, will the See-mandhra folks leave Hyderabadpeacefully?The newplanworked outby the Centre will definitely fail.There is already clear signs of such ahappening: there is unrest in See-mandhra. There are continuingstrikes, agitation in coastal and otherregions of Andhra. Political partieslike Telugu Desam are opposed toany division of Andhra.What is to be noted is that many

may finally agree to the creation of aseparate state, but they will not ac-cept the inclusion of Hyderabad inTelangana. In the next fewweeks, theunrest will spread not only in See-mandhra, but in the capital itself.A violent situation is likely to arise

and it may be soon out of control.The demands for Telangana and theagitation should have been nippedin the bud long ago.

A MYSTIC is a phenomenon in himself and aconfusion to those around him. He himselfcannot tell them what he is doing, nor willthey understand the real secret of the mystic.For it is someone who is living the inner life,and at the same time covering that inner lifeby outer action; his word or movement isnothing but the cover of some inner action.Therefore those who understand the mysticnever dispute with him. Neither the laughterof amystic nor his tears are to be taken as anyoutward expressionwhichmeans something.His tearsmayperhaps be a cover for very greatjoy, his smile, his laughtermay be a cover for avery deep sentiment.His open eyes, his closedeyes, the turning of his face, his glance, his si-lence, his conversation, none of these has themeaning one is accustomed to attribute tothem. Yet it does not mean that the mysticdoes this purposely; he is made thus; no onecould purposely do it even if he wished, noonehas the power to do it.The truth is that thesoul of the mystic is a dancing soul. It has re-alized that inner law, it has fathomed thatmystery for which souls long and in the joy ofthat mystery the whole life of the mystic be-comes a mystery. You may see the mystic 20

times a day, and twenty times he will have adifferent expression. Every time his mood isdifferent; and yet his outward mood may notat all be his inner mood. The mystic is an ex-ample of God's mystery in the form of man.A person who lives the inner life appears

strange, a form in which very few people canunderstand. He puts on the mask of inno-

cence outwardly to such an extent that thosewho do not understand may easily considerhimunbalanced, peculiar, or strange.He doesnotmind about it, for the reason that it is onlyhis shield. If he were to admit before human-ity the power that he has, thousands of peoplewould go after him, and he would not haveonemoment to live his inner life.The enormous power that he possesses

governs inwardly lands and countries, con-trolling themand keeping them safe fromdis-asters such as floods and plagues, and alsowars; keeping harmony in the country or inthe place inwhich he lives; and all this is doneby his silence, by his constant realization of

the inner life.To a person who lacks deep insight he will

seem a strange being. In the language of theEast he is calledMadzub. That same idea wasknown to the ancient Greeks and traces of itare still in existence in some places, butmostly in the East.There are souls to be foundtoday in the East, living in this garb of a self-re-alized man who shows no trace outwardly ofphilosophy or mysticism or religion, or anyparticular morals; and yet his presence is abattery of power, his glance most inspiring,there is a commanding expression in hislooks; and if he ever speaks, his word is thepromise of God.What he says is truth; but he rarely speaks a

word, it is difficult to get a word out of him;but once he has spoken, what he says is done.There is no end to the variety of the outward

appearance of spiritual souls in life; but at thesame time there is no better way of living inthis world and yet living the inner life thanbeing oneself, outwardly and inwardly.What-ever be one's profession, work, or part in theouter life, to perform it sincerely and truth-fully, to fulfil one's mission in the outer lifethoroughly; at the same time keeping theinner realization that the outer life, whateverbe one's occupation, should reflect the innerrealization of truth.

Was Nehru secular?THE answer is no. In fact, India wasnot secular from 1947-1975. It wasalso not socialist.We became secu-lar and socialist only during theEmergency when those words wereput in the Constitution after stiflingthe opposition and throwing theminto jail. The truth that Nehru wasnot secular is also borne out by thefact that more than 50,000 Muslimswere killed in the police action inHyderabad in 1948. The Sunderlalreport till today has not been re-leased. Now that we are secular only‘small’ incidents likeMuzzafarnagarhappen.

The JuniorYadav ought to have understood thehuman aspect of the whole impul-sive action — the damage thiswould cause to her mind. After all,she did not give any shoot-at-sightorder! Looks as though this rethinkhas been due to the sane advice ofYadav Senior who is still the presi-dent of the ruling party. One wishesthat the young SDM tries to forgetthe whole thing as a bad dream andgets on with her job as before. Ifqualified administrative officershave towork under politicians, suchignominies are bound to happen

Cong targeting V.K. SinghTHE presence of the former ArmyChief V.K. Singh with NarendraModi on the same dais must havebeen itching the Congress to comeout with some report with a stringof heavily loaded irregularitiesgoing to the extent of misuse of se-cret service funds to destabilise theOmar Abdullah government in J&K.The Report, said to bewith the PMOcalls for a ‘probe’ by CBI into theTechnical Services Division. TheCongress with a load of problemsfacing the country and a number ofhuge scams on their shoulders withtheir inability to pick the relevantfiles on Coalgate inviting harsh crit-icism from the apex court shouldthemselves come ‘clean’ in the firstplace so as to seek to probe others,more so, former Army chiefs whohave rendered yeomen servicesolely because of which the Nationis able to enjoy peace and normallife.

THE central home ministerSushilkumar Shinde gets ‘clean chit’fromCBI in the Adarsh Housing so-ciety case. The SP chief, MulayamSingh gets similar ‘clean chit’ fromCBI in the case of disproportionateassets. One belongs to Congress it-self and the other supports the Con-gress rule in the centre. But BabaRamdev, the retired General V.K.Singh and many other direct or in-direct ‘rivals’ of Congress will haveto face the CBI probes. Though CBIis now declared to be autonomous,it is the hidden ‘caged parrot’ ofCongress till date. Hence, suchprobes by CBI are quite obvious.

Horrific honour killingTHEbrutal killing of a young coupleby the bride’s parents has sent shockwaves across the entire country.This heinous crime appears to havebeen committed under the false no-tion of the marriage being per-formed within the same Gotra. It issaid that over a span of seven gen-erations, the genes and other hered-itary factors undergo totalmetamorphosis. As such, over a pe-riod of thousands of years from the

times of the primordial sages, theGotra principle simply loses its sig-nificance. Therefore, the thinking,of wedlockwithin the sameGotra asa taboo, is meaningless in themod-ern times. Many families in Maha-rashtra perform the same Gotramarriages by asking the maternaluncle of the bride to do thekanyadaan.

MU heritage conservation‘IT’S true: Renovation after 135years!’ (ADC, Sep 23), it is indeedvery heartening to read about thishistoric initiative by the Universityof Mumbai after waiting for such along period. In fact, such a heritageconservation initiative was under-taken in the mid-nineties for thefirst time in India for ‘THE ARMY &NAVY BUILDING’ at Kalaghoda byTatas. Being involved with that ren-ovation at that time, I have few sug-gestions to offer to those concernedin the univ. authority. Theymust gethold of a reputed conservation ar-chitect adequately qualified and ex-perienced to handle this kind of acomprehensive renovation of ageold heritage structure. It involvesboth cosmetic and structural reno-vation as well. There aremany tech-nics prevailing in this world forheritage conservation. I shall lookforward to this renovation initiativevery eagerly to see that theMumbaivarsity gets spruced up, retaining itsmagnificent external features intactwithout any aberration.

GENTLEMAN’S game of cricketposes lots of problem in the In-dian subcontinent. Pakistan pay-ers played a pivotal role in fixingmatches and some of themlanded in jail as well. The feverspread to India also and the IPLmatches were the fixing platformfor officials, players, umpires andothers watching matches live orthrough television. BCCI couldnot control fixing fiasco. Fixingtakes different modes in IPLmatches as spot fixing, match fix-ing, toss fixing, weather fixing etc.Even officials were fixing matchesagainst their own teams showshow the game has become cor-rupt in India. That is why Cham-pions Trophy matches betweenbig teams did not evince any in-

terest even though the matchesare played in India. The combina-tion of Gurnath Meiyappan, Vin-doo Dara Singh and umpire AsadRauf was deadly andmade mock-ery of Indian cricket but still es-caped without any punishment.Now everything has come out inblack and white and there is nohiding for these players and offi-cials. Players like Sreesanth selltheir teams as well as Team Indiafor petty money and no one isthere to call a spade a spade. Dur-ing 2011World Cup in India, threeto four Indian players were in-volved in match fixing but es-caped without even an enquiry. Itis happening only in India and wefeel happy about making moneyand win and lose somematches.

Fixing fiasco has taken out the in-terest in Indian cricket.

IBM recently announced that leadinguniversities across India are using

IBM’s technologies to improve the quali-ty of education process, introduce newcurricula and prepare their students forjobs in the future. IBM has played a piv-otal role in providing innovative technol-ogy solutions to the Indian educationsector. Zinnov, a leading advisory firm,recently recognised IBM India as theleader amongst MNC (multinational)Technology Centers that have con-tributed significantly to the developmentof the University Ecosystem in India, forthe third consecutive year.The Indian Institute of Technology

(IIT) Madras, The Indian Institute ofScience Education and Research (IISER),Bhopal, Karunya University –Coimbatore, and the Shiv NadarUniversity (SNU) have selected IBMHighPerformance Computing (HPC) solu-tions, IBM System x iDataPlex servers,IBM PureSystems, IBM Power serversand storage solutions, virtualisationequipment and software to aid high endresearch, refine processes and elevatethe IT infrastructure in the universities.The education sector in India is at the

brink of IT enabled transformation. IBMResearch is also working on technologiesfor intelligent, interactive content, learn-ing content management and delivery, aswell as personalised education, which,once mature can plug gaps that resultfrom challenges in reach and scale, engag-ing content and lack of personalisation.

Towards a knowledge-based economySupercomputing can be used for every-thing from weather forecasting tosearching for a cancer cure. With datastarting to flow, we are quickly approach-ing the exascale (a computer, capable ofa quintillion – or 10 to the power of 18 –floating point operations per second)barrier. However, today an exascale com-puter would require approximately 100MW power - an equivalent to that usedby more than 100 000 homes in India, Inorder to reap the economic and scientif-ic benefits from the super computing,capabilities that offer highest computingcapacity per watt, become instrumental.In that space IBM’s Smarter Computingapproach to IT becomes increasingly rel-evant.Advancing scientific industrial and life

sciences research, the Indian Institute ofTechnology in Madras, the IndianInstitute of Science Education andResearch in Bhopal (IISER Bhopal) andShiv Nadar University all turned to HPC(High Performance Computing), imple-menting the country’s largest supercom-puting clusters within the education sec-tor. These three universities are playingan important role in shaping India’snational research agenda.“In high-energy physics and bio-med-

ical research, for example, simulationhas become an integral part of sciencealongside theory and experimentation.Trial run for years, generating enormousvolumes of data to process, and complex

modeling that integrates mathematics,physics, chemistry and biology withadvanced, high performance computingand engineering”, says Prof. Sunil Kumar,Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.IBM is also announcing that Karunya

University, one of India’s top engineeringuniversities has selected IBMPureSystems solutions to improve onlinestudent services by more effectively pro-cessing applications, such as handlingonline enrolment, exam scheduling, vir-tual campus management, etc.

Getting ready for new curriculaIBM also offers a wide range of productsand solutions that enhances the curricu-lum of the educational institutes rangingfrom teaching computer science, infor-mation technology, and business andmarketing courses. It enables students todevelop competitive skills on the latestindustry-standard software, systems,and tools. IBM also collaborates withBusiness Schools across India to helpand enable business managers of tomor-row, address the need for skills in BigData and Analytics. So far, over 10 insti-tutions in India, like Sharda Universityand Galgotias University, have setup anIBM Business Analytics Lab, where par-ticipants are offered a two year full timeMBA in Business Analytics in associationwith IBM.

IBM India also runs ‘Project Praviin’,aimed at bridging the gap between whatis taught and real life situations.

I WANT TO BE A FOREST OFFICER

Through a variety of interesting activi-ties, they intend to reach out to themass-es at the grass root level.The first step is always awareness. In

order to gather support and spread theword, ‘Saafasutra’ is conducting an eventcalled ‘I Pledge’ which will be carried outthroughout the two-week campaign. Theteam is going around the city’s hot-spotsand crowded areas with a large map ofMumbai. Each individual is approachedand educated about the difference thatone good citizen can make. Placing theirvows on the map, citizens pledge to keepMumbai clean.Then, going the Gandhi way, Team

Saafasutra is handing out badges toMumbaikars depending on their behav-iour. Those who are caught litteringmindlessly and unabashedly receive theNo.1 Litterer badge. The badge is givenwith a smile and indirectly gets the mes-sage across, inculcating a sense ofresponsibility and ensuring that they willhenceforth think twice before littering.On the other hand, responsible citizenswho use the bin or carry their trasharound until they find one are applaudedand encouraged by being bestowed withthe ‘Saafasutra Citizen badge’. The teamhas also collaborated with Daman GangaMills Board Pvt. Ltd., a Vapi-based com-

pany that creates innovative products byrecycling Tetra Pack cartons of milk andjuices. They hand out beautiful recycledpaper bags to such responsible citizensas a token of appreciation.‘Saafasutra’ has also come up with a

simple idea of handing out paper bags topeople. The team hands out paper bagsin Mumbai’s local trains and prominentstations, urging people not to litter andcarry their trash around until they find abin.And it doesn’t end here; ‘Saafasutra’ is

also creating a petition by which they willappeal to the BMC to install more dust-bins in specific areas. Througha Facebook activity called Kachra KahaHai?, Saafasutra urges citizens to informthem about places that are victims ofmindless littering and the gathered infor-mation will be used in the petition. Theywill also personally go and make surethat the ‘kachra’ is cleaned and people,educated.Also, they have collaborated with I

Dream Studio’s initiative called ‘BolPublic Bol’ which gathers public opinion.They have released a webisode whichindividually introduces one to theSaafasautra team and visually portraysthe work that they do.Team Saafasutra took their campaign

further by helping BMC to clean GirgaumChowpatty. After the final immersion of

Ganpati idols, they cleared the litterstrewn around. Such public platformsare the perfect place to make peopleaware and instill a sense of responsibilityin them. Seeing the five girls do their bit,many bystanders were moved and theytoo joined them in cleaning the beach.

“Festivals are great to enjoy and cele-brate. It’s a fun thing where people cometogether and celebrate and share love.But we personally feel that our festivalsdon’t require us to litter around. Apartfrom being religiously inclined, let’s firstbe inclined towards a cleaner Mumbai”,said Rukaiya Lokhandwala, anothermember of Saafasutra.“We don’t end with the end of Visarjan,

we plan to take this further.With the sup-port of our families and college teacherswe still have a lot to do. To beginwith, ourfirst mission is to forward the petition ofgetting more dustbins installed in thecity, which is in the process”, says VidhiShah, another Saafasutra member.

“We don’t want this to end, we wantSaafasutra to be a religion that peoplefollow and adopt”, quotes JamilaBootwala.

Blaupunkt India has just launched another product for in-car enter-tainment. The GTb 8A promises to deliver the bass you’ve been miss-ing as its 8” spun-paper woofer pumps out the low-end thump.

Commonly, it takes a sub, an enclosure and an amplifier to pro-duce bass and finding the right combination of these three elementscan be tricky. The GTb 8A eliminates this hassle as Blaupunkt hasdesigned the enclosure to house the sub and the built-in 75-wattRMS amplifier together. This is especially useful in smaller vehicles,where there’s no room to mount a separate amp, or in any vehiclewhere you need every bit of cargo space. Less than 11” deep, thiscompact sub will fit in some pretty tight places. With both speakerlevel and line-level inputs accepted, the GTb 8A can be connected toany type of car radio and can be fitted into all Indian entry levelshatchback, including factory-fitted models and retails at Rs. 9,990

A nail-bitting Game!SSttaarrrriinngg:: Peter Dinklage, LenaHeadeyGGeennrree:: Fantasy DramaRRaattiinngg:: *** RRuunnnniinngg ttiimmee:: NA (TV Series)

The good guys don’t always win.Sometimes the bad guys get what they want. Take nothing for granted.There is just one rule; and that is to expect the unexpected. You mustlearn to let go of a character you deeply loved, and at the same time learnto develop a liking for one that you resented. Life is unfair at times, andnothing says it better than the hit TV series ‘Game Of Thrones’.

This fictional series revolves around several kingdoms, bloodlines andtheir struggle for power. However, this is woven together with everythingelse you would like to see in a series. ‘Game Of Thrones’ is packed withaction, love, betrayal, violence, sex, magic, fantasy, humour and a bril-

liantly written plot. In order to trulyunderstand the dynamics of the seriesmany have even made diagrams online.Few people claim that the series is a hitbecause of the violence and sex, howeverthe biggest reason millions of viewersjust can’t get enough of the show isbecause of the nail biting plot; which isso complex and unpredictable that aftera point most people refuse to wait for thenext season and read the books.

The writer of the show George RRMartin has often been criticised for his

sadistic pleasure of making people fall inlove with a character and then killing him off, but that is what makes thisseries all the more interesting. Death comes knocking at your door irre-spective of whether you’re an evil wizard or an innocent child. Nothing isever taken for granted when you play the Game Of Thrones.

The Bell Jar(Sylvia Plath)

Seldom do you stumble upon a bookthat reflects your thoughts and emo-tions like a mirror, and leaves you witha feeling of belonging long after it hasbeen shut and kept on a shelf. SylviaPlath’s The Bell Jar is a semi-autobiog-raphy that deals with a young girl’sdilemmas of surviving the maddeningcity of New York with a curious mind,relentlessly seeking freedom of expres-sion and accomplishing a meaningfulobjective.

Not only was Plath suffering fromclinical depression, she committed sui-cide a month after publishing this book,by inserting her head into an oven. Withobvious influences and personal experi-ences that demonstrate her psychologi-cal struggle between her beliefs andcontrasting societal norms, The Bell Jarproves to be a dark, insane (literally)and honest piece of literature thatexplores madness within the mundane.One must face the repressed senti-ments that echo within Sylvia’s jar ofpassion and pain.

My son studying in Standard 8 has sud-denly stopped going to school. Hisgrades have also dropped considerably.He does not want to study, has turnedvery bossy and does not listen to us. Hehas not attempted his class tests aswell. What do I do?

If you have noticed that his marks havedropped suddenly, then it is a cause for con-cern. It is critical that you have themassessed by a professional. If a kid’s gradesgo from an ‘A’ to a ‘D’, that usually doesn’thappen in isolation. There will be other dis-tress signals also. You might notice that yourchild has stopped participating in sports andactivities that he used to love, or that he’s

hanging around in a different peer group, forexample. Start by taking your child to his pedi-atrician and getting a recommendation for aprofessional therapist to rule out substanceabuse, depression, clinical anxiety or otherfactors that may be affecting his performanceand outlook.

Dyslexia is not a disease. It is a neurologi-cal disorder, often hereditary and a con-

dition that you are born with. People withdyslexia are not stupid or lazy. Most haveaverage or above-average intelligence, andthey work very hard to overcome their learn-ing problems.Dyslexia interferes with the acquisition

and processing of language. There are differ-ences in how people think. Non-dyslexicshave verbal thoughts, which are thinking in

words and has a linear process that occurswith a speed of about 150 words per minute.Dyslexics have non-verbal thoughts, whichare thinking in pictures, where the picturegrows as the thought process addsmore con-cepts. Therefore, it’s much faster, possiblythousands of times faster.Often there is a negative feeling about hav-

ing dyslexia because we concentrate on thedisadvantages. Why not turn the situationaround and harvest the posi-tive aspects of having dyslex-ia? This would prevent a lotof frustration to the childand his surroundings. The main difficultythat the child faces is in reading, writing,spelling, handwriting and sometimes inarithmetic. Although dyslexia exists for life,children with dyslexia frequently respondsuccessfully to timely and appropriate inter-vention.As a parent, it is important to take any

label with a grain of salt. Parents should notbe so enamored with the idea of a child whohas high intelligence that they fail to noticetheir learning difficulties. Also, parentsshould not be so heartbroken by the diagno-

sis of a ‘learning disability’ that they fail tosee the strengths of the child.If we ask a class or school teacher, each

would give a list of at least 10-15 childrenwho are not able to cope up with their peersin a class of 35-40 children. The major diffi-culties which these children face are: con-centrating in class, sitting for long durationscompleting their work, not being able to fol-low instructions, having a problem taking

notes, spelling errors, unableto understand lessons beingtaught, unable to understandthe rules of grammar while

writing or answering questions, or emotion-al breakdowns. If asked to get a formalassessment for these 15 children, 7-10 wouldbe diagnosed with learning difficulty/dyslex-ia.Why are children with Dyslexia frustrated?Except for the child, no one knows exactly

how hard a child with dyslexia is trying. Thefrustration of children with dyslexia oftencenters on their inability to meet expecta-tions. Their parents and teachers see abright, enthusiastic child who is not learningto read and write. Their parents hear, “He’s

such a bright child; if onlyhe would try harder.”Ironically, the pain of failingto meet the parents’ andteachers’ expectations ismultiplied by the child’sinability to achieve theirgoals. Their self-esteem suf-fers and they may becomeloners or ‘class clowns’ orbehave in other waysdesigned to hide their learn-

ing difficulty or try to cope with academicinsufficiency. They grow up believing that itis ‘terrible’ to make a mistake. This isextremely frustrating to them, as it makesthem feel chronically inadequate.Instead of labelling children as failures

or spoiled or sheer lazy, we as parents andteachers should try to assess their strengthsand change the way in which we work withchildren. The following are a few ways inwhich a teacher can help a child in the class-room:� Give short and individual instructions� Help the child understand phoneticsounds which will help them to

form words� Praise the child for little achievements toboost self esteem

� Teach students to use logic rather thanrote memory

� Present material in small units andsequentially

� Provide legitimate outlets for extra energy� Use multi-sensory teaching methods andaidsA few years ago, it was up to a child with

dyslexia tomanage on their own as there waslittle awareness and hence no help. Childrenwere expected to find their own strategies toovercome their difficulties or be backbenchers in class. Thus formany parents andchildren, it was a distant possibility of com-pleting their education with good grades andfulfilling a professional dream. But now withgrowing awareness, more and more childrenare being diagnosed with dyslexia and moretools are simultaneously being developed tohelp them. As children with dyslexia canexcel in normal life, the onus is on educatorsto catch the difficulties early and providethem with the required help and aids tomake their dream a reality.

Idid my schooling from Convent of Jesus andMary, Fort. After that I took up Arts and thengraduated in BMM from Kishinchand

Chellaram College of Arts, Commerce andScience. Doing BMM was my ambition. Whiledoing BMM I realised Public Relation is a differ-ent and interesting job. It is a combination ofhard work and smart work. Public Relation isthe field where little money is involved withlarger outcome. It is the field where more thancreativity you learn how to develop and main-tain relationships with journalists and clients.Public Relation is a voice for the clients. It isonly through PR that people can reach to themasses. In today’s world PR is playing a crucialrole and is tremendously growing. From smallbrands to big brands, all are interested in PR.With such a fast growing industry, PR has a lotof scope in the future. This is why I decided tochoose PR as my career.Education is the most powerful

weapon which you can use tochange the world. Similarly educa-tion has been very helpful to me in all parts ofmy life. It has taught me to be competitive andto face all the problems with confidence andpositivity. Education has helped me to under-stand the difference between right and wrongin all facets of life. It has built confidence, deter-mination, optimism and the ability to work in ateam, in me.The best time in college was when we were

told to do a compulsory training for a period ofone month. I had joined a PR and advertising

firm Paramin Advertising andMedia Associates. It was funworking there. A good learn-ing experience with the gov-ernment clients! With almostfive to six interns includingme learning PR and attend-ing meetings were a greatfeeling, with lots of fun andwe were competing with eachother to be the best. My sec-ond internship was with one

of the prestigious companies Genesis Bursonand Marsteller. Genesis was the only placewhere I got ragged for the first and the lasttime. I remember the first time we hada Friday meeting and I was told to stand up onthe chair in front of the entire office and intro-duce myself to them. It was shocking to seesuch things in the office. But truly working there

was exciting with cheerful peoplearound, everyday new challenges,deadlines, and events. Well!

Thanks to Genesis, I could meet my favoriteactor Sharukh Khan. Every time I had difficul-ties during work or about anything, there werepeople to support me and help me. I am luckyto have worked with the best of the people inGenesis and Paramin. My mentors were thebest; they taught me all the minor and majordetails of PR.I am currently working with You Me & We

Media Services. After training for a few monthsand completing my graduation it’s been great

to actually work and put those experiences andlearning into a positive outcome. I am currentlydoing PR in fashion and lifestyle streams.Altogether, a completely different learning expe-rience!As a fresher one can earn anything from

Rs.10,000 to 15,000. But again it dependsfrom company to company. Some prefer to giveeven more than that depending on the caliberof the person. It depends on the person, howfast and how well he works in any organisation.If a person has a good caliber and grasping

power he can become a professional in a spanof two years. In the PR industry a good experi-ence of two years can help you to set up yourown firm. As an established professional onecan actually earn a handsome amount ofmoney. You can also be the boss of your owncompany by starting a new venture as it will notbe difficult to establish a new startup for anexperienced person.PR has lots of advantages and disadvan-

tages. As a PR professional it is very importantto build up a relationship and manage your

company’s and your client’s reputation. PRhelps to build a brand’s image with its public.PR is very competitive. As said earlier, fromsmall to big brands, all companies need PR.So it is a very effective and a great way to

start your career in the media. The PR industrywill definitely grow in the near future. The majordifficulty in this field is to deliver the correctmessages to the audience. PR people are themediators between media and the client and soit is very important to see that the messagessent to the media are correct. So the communi-cation has to be correct and clear to avoid any

kind of misunderstanding. It sometimesbecomes difficult to meet the client’s andmedia’s requirement at the same time.

In my present job, I amdoing more of media rela-tions. PR is a vast field.PR is important in today’sworld.

Tell us about your childhood. Wasmathematics fun for you?Being raised by a single parentfrom a very early age, the onething always on my mind was sup-porting my family. I did not knowhow to reach there however, espe-cially with a speech disabilitywhere people hardly understoodwhat I said. Determined to startmy own business, I started at theage of 12.While everyone was busyplaying, I saw profit and losses,which was when I saw math beingapplied in everyday life. That’swhen I developed a further inter-est in the subject. While I saw allmy friends struggling with thesubject, I kept wondering howmath could be so difficult and Icould see the real life applicationof the subject, while my friendslacked that experience.

How did this ideaof giving Math forstudents a twistand making itenjoyable strikeyou?During a pilotproject, we identi-fied that only ateacher can makea subject easy ortough for a stu-

dent. One student did not knowintegers well, so we decided to playa game and saw he could answermuch better and gave correctanswers throughout. This helpedus to identify how games couldmake the subject interesting.

Tell us about Dinasim and howyou began this institute?I always wanted to start my compa-

ny with the name ‘Dinasim’. I alsoknew that I wanted to start thisventure, but didn’t know whichstream to focus on since I realisedthat a lot of students struggle tostudy. When I studied abroad I wasimpressed by the approach of stu-dents towards education. Thismade me realise that I wanted tohelp the education sector andmake the lives of students’ fun byhelping them realise that studyingis not actually a burden.

What are the various devices orteaching methods you use tomake Math fun for kids?Dinasim seeks elements of popularsports such as cricket, football,basketball, darts, or even virtualgames such as Angry Birds. We useonly games and activities to teachMath and avoid using a book andpen. This helps children to feel thesubject and see its practical appli-cation.

As a young entrepreneur what isyour view about the pressure theIndian education system puts onkids? Does it truly help them togrow and learn?The system has lost its meaningand is just a rat race for marks. Thecurrent system puts tremendouspressure on students, where theyvalue marks over gaining knowl-edge and understanding con-cepts. Admissions are also basedpurely on marks and not on pas-sion and knowledge of the subject.

How do you train your teachersand faculty?We have an intensive training pro-

gram for two months before theyconduct any workshops. This train-ing includes real exposure to thesubject.

What is the process of enrollingin the institute and the age groupeligible?

Students from Class 5 to 10 canenroll. They need to visit our web-site and email their detailson info@dinasim.com. We thencontact them and schedule an ini-tial consultation with the childrenand their parents.

Why do you think students dis-like Math and consider it a bur-den?Math has always been misunder-stood by kids and parents. For stu-dents, Math is meant mostly toscore marks while parents wanttheir children to be very good in itbecause it is useful through life.What they fail to tell students iswhere math is useful. Studentsdon’t understand the application ofthe subject and this makes themdisinterested.

What changes need to be intro-duced in the Indian Educationsystem?Valuing knowledge over marks isone of the major changes needed.Exams also need to be less overrated and students should relate tothe subjects they wish to study orexcel in.

How do you plan to change theperception of Math in the mindsof kids today?Teaching Math with no books andwriting instruments is one of thebest ways to make children realisethat this is not a serious subject.

What would you like to say to ourreaders?It’s not about what we learn; it’sabout how we learn.

Making Math FunIn a country obsessed with making its future generation doctors and engineers,mathematics is considered the path to scoring perfect percentages and the key toa bright future. However, most students shun the subject and consider it theirleast favorite as it requires practical application of the brain as opposed to therote learning propagated by the Indian education system. Divesh Bathija, talksto Srishti Jain about his new wave of teaching, challenging the system and itsmethods, and dedicating his life to making Math ‘child’s play’.

LEARNING CAN BE FUN!E.g. When children are watching an IPLmatch/ any cricket match, which everyIndian student is fond of, which can beused to calculate Average, run rateand they can keep a check of runrateafter every over or so. In such amanner these kids become moreinterested towards the subject as theysee how it helps them beyond booksas well.

E.g. Often when children goshopping, they see how many shopshave discounts to offer. Each andevery brand which offers a discountwill always use percentage, like 40%or 50% instead of 500/- off as thepercentage helps to relate with everyproduct on sale. E.g.: A show store has30% off on all shoes; a NIKE showwould cost 3000. While a Puma shoewould cost 2000. So the customersaves more if he buys a NIKE shoethan a Puma Shoe.

E.g. While going out many a times,children wish to understand how far arethey going, and often we using termslike 30 mins or 50 mins etc. They fail tounderstand in terms of KMs. So whenthey are travelling with their parents,they can record all speed levels, timetaken to reach their destination, whichwill help them identify the actualdistance they have covered.

Think Jazz; think flapper; think suave;think Chicago (2002). A top hat andcanemadeCharlie Chaplin a popular

figure, but today one associates theseprops with the second prodigy i.e. JazzDancing. Five years with this dance form,Noel Athayde raises concerns over jazzdancing being alien to the Indian soil whileit receives much appraise world over. Thisgap makes the jazz dance form a prospec-tive career option for performers andteachers. “Jazz was derived from ballet,” hesays, “The only differencebetween the two dances isthat everything in ballet isturned out and everythingin jazz is parallel. Thus it is like the founda-tion and a basic form. Jazz is very popularin western countries. In India, however,jazz is relatively new; people still have tounderstand the importance of being atrained dancer because when they go over-seas the differences are apparent in termsof quality and technique. So dancers likeme aremaking people aware of this formofdance. Jazz is like learning a classical danceform in India. Moreover, after training as ajazz dancer, other forms just become somuch easier to pick up”.Noel started off as a dancer at the age of

19 and says that in comparison to his inter-national counterparts who take up dancingas early as three and five years, he feels hehad a late start. However, it is never too latefor anything. Moreover, jazz as a danceform in India has picked up pace onlyrecently. Like ballet, noel says that evenJazz is considered as a base form beforeone gets on a professional footing with anygenre of dance. Jazz is that one form thathelped him as a dancer and that strength-ens you as a dancer.If one has to look at it from a career per-

spective, it’s imperative to understandwhat it takes to learn the art and then to beable to teach it to others. How long wouldone have to train as a dancer? “There is noparticular duration to learning jazz. Danceis not a destination; it is a process”, saysNoel who started learning jazz through aset syllabus in The Danceworx. “Everybody

is different, with different body structures,”he says “and so it depends on each individ-ual; on howmuch they observe, invest andapply”. As far as investment goes, a dancerwould only be required to invest in train-ing.After one has acquired sufficient training

of about a year and is confident of the tech-nical bits that are essential when traininganother person he can start off with adecent income. The earnings from thisfield would depend mainly on experience,

popularity and demand inthe industry.If you can prove yourself

as a dancer, you can startteaching at the dance school that youtrained in. Besides this you will also findopportunities to growas a choreographer.A jazz performer can also lookto opportunities in the enter-tainment industry like musi-cals, theatre, commercialsand even in the film industry.“It’s widely popular in metro

cities, but mainly in Delhi and Mumbai.Since there is a lack of trained dancers,when it comes to a jazz dancer there is adifference in quality immediately. So yes,there will be a demand for anything andeverything that is not cliché Bollywood.And today, shows in India are really broad-ening the horizon for jazz performers. It’samazing to watch the growth, so interna-tional dance is coming into the countryand that increases the demand of trained

dancers,” ascertains Noel.Lucky for ballet and jazz dancers, the

arena is clear of many competitors andthus it is only slowly gainingmomentum inIndia. One reason for these not being pop-ular with Indianmale dancers in particularis its immaculate movements that borderof slender, feminine lines. Thus while hip-pop and other styles have been readilyabsorbed the fate of such dances remain ablur. There is so much to learning from our

international counterparts on popu-lar dance reality TV shows in terms ofshunning these inhibitions. Youwill find that there is so muchthat needs to be tapped intoautomatically broadening one’scareer prospects as a dancer.Citing the sameproblem,Noelsays that it is often difficult tofind a good jazz mentor inour country.As an offbeat career, aspi-

rants should aim at keepingit as a part-time careeroption until it acquiresdue popularity amongstthe masses. On an inter-national stage, it couldprove to be challengingbut if one can prove to bea good dancer, the oppor-tunities are plenty. Danceshows often allow dancersto showcase their talentand with contemporarydance forms gainingmomentum, fusion per-formances too come as amore acceptable style. Thus,a dancer must explore vari-ous genres and work at train-ing to be the best, and simulta-neously assimilating otherforms into the mainstream.

Noel urges aspiring jazzdancers to focus more on train-ing and says, “Hardwork, deter-mination and proper trainingare essential for every success-ful Jazz dancer.”

It’s Jazz, by the way!Noel Athayde, a company member in The Danceworx Performing Arts Academy that wasfounded by the famous Ashley Lobo, tells Naressa Coutinho more about all that’s jazz.

This is the biggestquestion faced byus today. After the

Delhi rape case, therehas been a rise in rapecases committed by

minors. This is just because the minorsknow the loop holes of our constitution;they know that they will not be sentencedaccording to their crime but according totheir age. A 17-year-old kid exerts thesame pain and damage that a 35-year-oldman can exert in case of rape and yet he isnot convicted as a 35-year-old is. Rapecommitted by a juvenile or an adultaffects the women in the same way, she isstoned for life, her happiness is destroyedforever and there is no chance that thedarkness of such days will go with the lightof a new day. Isn’t this a matter of urgentimportance, doesn’t this instill fear in youthat your kid can be a rapist or your girlcan be raped by a ‘kid’ who will not begiven the appropriate punishment. Howcan we defeat this? Can just walking onthe streets clear such crimes? No it can’t.We can just raise a finger on the parents ofsuch kids saying that they did not teachthem manners and respect but are weright in saying so? A person in general isalso affected by this world, the worldwhich has grown in technologies and fall-en in morals. Today every android user beeven a 12-year-old kid has easy access toporn sites for free and without any agerestrictions. A kid watches porn; doesn’tthis create havoc in your mind? Here youcan’t blame the parent as they can’t keep a24/7 track on their kids so who to blame?Should technology be blamed who’s useand misuse is upon the user.

It’s the user who is to be blamed. We allhave been taught what is right and what iswrong, the problem comes in the choice.

The wrong is always so attractive than theright that we tend to forget the basic dif-ference of wrong and right.

And this choice keeps growing as a seedof evil thoughts in these kids’ minds andwhen it grows up, you see it as rape orsuch crimes. I don’t mean to educate peo-ple, there are better teachers than me, Imean to create awareness in society as itseems there are lesser observers in thesociety. We live in a society which enjoys

blaming more than correcting and this issad. We call rapist criminals, but aren’teven we criminals of the society who can’teven stand up for justice for someone elsewho might be living in the nearby societyor in your neighborhood or just oppositeyour door. Before I stop and you startthinking let me conclude by saying that ifwe say that a 17-year-old is immature thenI would like to tell you that the writer ofthis article is also a 17-year-old.

‘Minor’ Loopholes

had been paid by the armysince independence, prompt-ing sharp reaction from Na-tional Conference and theCongress which are ruling thestate.Hecalledapress conference

at Gurgaon on the outskirts ofthe capital, at which he ap-peared to soften his allega-tions by saying that thepayments were not for thepersonal use of the ministersbut for promoting goodwillamong the people. At thesame time, hemaintained he had not

committed any mistakes inmaking the allegations.“I did not commit any mis-

take. When I had said somepoliticians were given money,it was notmeant for their per-sonal purposeorpolitical pur-pose. Itwasnot for lining theirpockets or for bribe. If some-body says that any ministerwas given a bribe, it is totallywrong.“It wasmeant solely for sta-

bility...To win hearts andmindsof people, toweanpeo-ple away fromseparatist activ-ities under the overall

NEW DELHI: The governmentwill push for passage of a

long-pending bill to providestatutory status to the UniqueIdentification Authority of India(UIDAI) in the winter session ofParliament.

“We will bring the NationalIdentification Authority of IndiaBill 2010 in Parliament duringthe forthcoming winter sessionfor discussion and passage,”Planning Minister RajeevShukla told PTI.

The UIDAI, which issues 12-digit Aadhaar numbers toresidents, currently operatesthrough an executive order.

The working of the UIDAI hascome under scrutiny of theSupreme Court, which in aninterim order yesterday,observed that Aadhaar can beissued only to Indian nationalsand the identification numbercannot be made mandatory foravailing of benefits of thegovernment’s subsidy schemes.

The bill to provide theauthority legal backing wasapproved by the Union Cabinetin September 2010 andintroduced in the Rajya Sabhain December that year. It wassent for scrutiny to theParliamentary StandingCommittee on Finance headedby former finance minister andBJP leader Yashwant Sinha.

“Now the bill has been sentback to the PlanningCommission by the StandingCommittee with someamendments. We will soon takeit to the Cabinet and try to pushthe draft for passage in thewinter session,” Shukla said.

The minister said the UIDAIhas not made enrolment forAadhaar number mandatory forresidents and it was for thecentral departments, ministriesand state governments todecide how to verify the identityof beneficiaries.

“Aadhaar establishes theidentity of a person and not thenationality. It also serves asproof of residence. Moreover, itis a voluntary facility and notmandatory,” he said.

JAIPUR: Opener Ajinkya Ra-hane is confident that Ra-jasthan Royals have theupperhand going into theChampions League Twenty20match against Highveld Lionshere today.Rahane said Royals would

look to capitalise on the mo-mentum achieved during theirvictory over IPL championsMumbai Indians, ahead of theirGroup A clash at the Sawai ManSingh stadium. "The focus is on building our

game plan and strategy. I feelthe momentum is with us," saidRahane, who had played an in-strumental role in Royals'seven-wicket win over Mumbaiin their tournament opener.The diminutive opener said

his team was not concernedabout the other matches of thegroup which were washed out inAhmadabad last evening. "We are not looking at those

matches because such thingsare not in our control. It hadrained before the Mumbai Indi-

ans match here too but we wonit," he said.Asked about the decision to

send Shane Watson down thebatting order during their matchagainst Mumbai, Rahane said,"Such things are decided by thethink tank - Paddy Upton andRahul Dravid. It's not for the in-dividuals but the cause of theteam. We had chased big totalslike against Chennai earlier withthis strategy. We need flexibilityin accord with the situation andteam comes first."Rahane welcomed the three-

day break prior to their nextgame. "It has been a good three-day

break for us because T20 in-volves high intensity games. It'sespecially good for the pacerswho have to work hard. TheLions are capable of throwing agood challenge because theyhave bowlers like Sohail Tanvir,Lonwabo Tsotsobe and ImranTahir who are capable of makingearly inroads in the oppositionline-up," he said.

EB ENTER AFC CUP SEMI-FINAL AFTER 1-1 DRAW WITH SEMEN PADANGPADANG, INDONESIA: The

drive to succeed was writlarge on East Bengal players'

faces as they scripted history ofsorts after securing their maidenberth in the AFC Cup semi-finals,overcoming a spirited SemenPadang playing in front of a vocif-erous home crowd here.The historic Indian club,

tucked around the wide openspaces of maidans in Kolkata, ad-vanced on aggregate (2-1) afterholding Semen Padang to a 1-1draw in the the return leg quar-terfinal at the Agus Salim Sta-dium. Playing in front of a packedhome crowd, the Indonesian out-fit started out aggressively andled at the half-time, thanks to a23rd minute strike by AndrewWilson.But East Bengal, who needed

just a draw to make the last-four,made a smart move by bringingin Baljit Singh Sahni whose meas-ured cross saw substitue JamesMoga time his spot jump to per-fection as he headed home theequaliser in the 75th minute.For Joaquim Abranches and

Abhijit Mondal, the success is all

the more sweeter as they werealso part of the Dempo squadthat had played in the semi-finalsof the 2nd tier inter-continentalclub competition a few years ago.Dempo till now were the only In-dian football club to have madethe last-four of the AFC Cup. EastBengal had won the first-leg at

home courtesy a Ryuji Sueokastrike. Having started the game,Sueoka could only last 43 min-utes and it was the Japanesemidefielder's replacement,Moga, who struck the all-impor-tant goal.Goan heavyweights Dempo

had qualified for the AFC Cupsemifinals in 2008. East Bengal'sprevious best show in the AFCCup was in 2004 when SubhasBhowmick guided the side to thequarter-finals. Padang wereboosted by the return of Argen-tine playmaker Esteban GabrielVizcarra, who missed the last firstleg due to a double booking,while the Indonesian outfit'sbackline too was reinforced inpresence of Wahyu Wijiastanto.Needing at least a two-goal

margin to make the semis,Padang went into the attackstraighway as Wilson's shot wentover the bar. A silly error by EastBengal goalkeeper GurpreetSingh, who shot it straight to Wil-son from a goalkick, was enoughfor the home outfit to take aneasy lead.The Liberian forward, lurking

upfront, made no mistake as hestruck from 22 yards. After thechangeover, the Indonesian outfitsuffered their first setback whenscorer Wilson picked up an injuryto be replaced in the 48th minute.The Kolkata heavyweights tried

their best to bring in an equaliser,with Moga making inroads as theSudanese shot one straight toPadang goalkeeper Jandia EkaPutra. In the 65th minute, coachMarcos Falopa's tactical substitu-tion Baljit, in place of RobertLalthlamuana, paid off.Baljit made a fine attempt to

penetrate the Padang box beforehe put it nicely across to Moga onthe left and the former Pune FCforward did well to head it fromthe far post. Five minutes later,Baljit had a great chance to be-come the star of the day, but theIndian youngster miscued a shotright in front of the goalmouth.With about 10 minutes left to de-fend the score, Falopa strength-ened his defense, bringing inGurwinder Singh in place ofAbranches as the red-and-goldbrigade maintained their un-beaten record.

Indian eves enter semi-finals of Asia Cup hockeyKUALA LUMPUR: India de-

feated hosts Malaysia 2-0 toqualify for the semi-finals of theeighth women's Asia Cup hockeytournament here.Poonam Rani (39th) and Lily

Chanu (46th) scored two secondhalf goals at the Stadium HokiNasional to seal India's place inthe last-four stage of the eight-nation tournament. With sixpoints in their kitty, the Indianeves finished their Pool A engage-ments on second position behind

China (nine points).India will now face Pool B top-

pers Korea in the first semi-finalon Thursday, while China willtake on Japan in the second last-four match. India has earlierspanked Hong Kong China 13-0in their tournament opener be-fore going down to defendingchampions China by a solitarygoal in their next game.Knowing well that only a win in

the tournament will guaranteethem a place in next year's World

Cup, the Indian eves started cau-tiously against Malaysia, whowere backed by a vociferoushome crowd. The Indians lookedfar from promising in the firsthalf as the Rani Rampal-led for-wardline failed to breach theMalaysian defence.Both the teams created a few

chances but they failed to breakthe deadlock in the first half.After the change of ends, the In-dians came out with more pur-pose and took the lead in the

39th minute through a field goalfrom Poonam Rani.Poonam's goal raised India's

confidence and they went for re-lentless attacks, which resultedin doubling their lead soon. LilyChanu made the scoreline 2-0 infavour of India in the 46thminute through another fieldstrike.Thereafter, the Indians played

sensibly and denied Malaysiaany opening to make a come-back into the match.

Rajasthan Royals have winning momentum, says Rahane

MMOOHHAALLII:: Brisbane Heats threw theirChampions League Twenty20campaign in complete disarray aftersuffering a narrow four-run defeatagainst Titans, here.

Chasing 124 to win the Australianside lost wickets in a heap afterdismissal of skipper James Hopes, whohit 37, and now have two defeats in asmany matches. Hopes in company ofDaniel Christian (21) raised a 44-runstand for the fourth wicket to stabilisethe innings as they had lost three earlywickets. Once the two batsmendeparted, Heats wilted under pressure.Left-hander Chris Sabburg raised theirhopes with a quick-fire 19 off sevenballs but his run out in the last overproved a last nail in the Heats' coffin.Fast bowler Marchant de Lange tookthree wickets for 13 runs in his four-overquota to be the most successful bowlerfor Titans while his pace colleagueRowan Richards took two for 20.

Heats suffer seconddefeat in a row, loseto Titans by 4 runs

SPORTSPUNE RACES: HOW THEY RAN LAST WEEK

Poonawalla Multi-Million Day a big success

By Timur

There were seven run-ners in the S.A. Poon-awalla Multi-Million

race. The horse that attractedattention was Dynamo, but itcould only place. The winnerwas Falcon which is ownedby Mr. Jaydev M Mody andtrained by M. Narredu forwhom this win was a brightfeather in his cap.There was a celebrating

ambience on Sunday whenthe S.A. Poonawalla Multi-Million race was run.Another important race

wasViloo C. Poonawalla GoldTrophy which was won byMauna Kea, owned by theShirke family. A lot of moneycame on Rajasamman andSanta Maria.One of the keenest finish

was in the Mysore Race ClubTrophy between Monza andSharaarat which is trained byDallas Todywalla. At the post,only a razor edge separatedthem. Sharaarat which wonthe race was ridden by A.Sandesh who is likely to bethe Pune champion.One of the rank outsiders

which won was NarendraLagad-trained Rubens in theEloin Plate. In 8-horse field, itwas available at 20 to 1. Therewas huge betting on Ace Jetwhich became the on-moneyfavourite.Casino Jack, owned byMrs.

Vandana Sharma and trainedby Hosidar Baji won the Pro-teons Play at odds of 4 to 1.Katrak trained RomanticBeauty came second in therace. It has placed three timesthis season.A chupa rustom which re-

vealed its potential was Dal-las Todywalla trained Kaizer.Watch this horse. It is cut outapparently for distance. An-other horse – NarendraLagad’s Savage Garden alsoran quite well in the 2400Flaring Ace Plate. Poor Tarawas made to run in 2400metre class IV race. Thehorse which is now 7-year-oldmust be denoted and run

in class V.Emperor of France is bet-

ting down all his admirers.The name is very imposingbut the horse is not. The win-ner in the Rao Saheb KedariGoldTrophywas Ainra whichis trained byM.K. Jadhav. TheEmperor may win in Mum-bai.There was lot of betting on

Champakali and Cream ofthe Crop in the Division I ofthe Rambus Plate. The win-ner was however an unex-pected horse. Its last run inPune was very bad – it endedthen 18th in the race.Trainer H.J. Antia had four

horses in the Div II of In-glenork Gold Plate: Rocking,Midnight Wind, Armel andWinchester. They all be-longed to different owners.Midnight Wind became thefavourite in the race but itdid not win. The winner wasRocking. Pandemoniumbroke out the mob becauseviolent, smashed whateverthey could by their hands.Conclusion of the mob: Thejockey on the favouritepulled it and this enabledAntia’s another horse Rock-ing won. The club authori-ties called the police whofinally had to resort to alathi-charge to disperse thecrowd.To say the least, it was a

disgusting behaviour. Laterthe vet found that MidnightWind had profusely bled andthey did not have a ghost of achance to win.Whenever racegoers are

dissatisfied with the way arace is run, they stand roundthe paddock and peacefullyshout. For the authorities,thismuch action is enough totake action. To resort to van-dalism is totally unwar-ranted.

Decks cleared for BCCI to impose life ban on Lalit Modi

CHENNAI: With the Delhi HighCourt allowing the BCCI to

conduct its Special General Meet-ing (SGM) in Chennai, the decksare cleared for the Board to imposea possible life ban on former IPLchairman Lalit Modi for alleged fi-nancial irregularities while beingat the helm of cash-rich league

from 2008-2010.The SGM, which is likely to be

chaired by president in-exile NSrinivasan, has been convened todiscuss the report of the Dicipli-nary Committee on Modi and de-cide the quantum of disciplinarypunishment. Two-third of the ma-jority will need to vote in favour ofModi's life ban. It effectivelymeans that a minimum of 21 votesare required out of the total 31units to make the former IPL czar apersona non-grata in the world'srichest cricket board. "Save Punjab Cricket Associa-

tion (PCA), expect no other BCCIunits to support Modi tomorrow.Even PCA's case will depend onwho attends the SGM -- persident

I S Bindra who is a Modi backer orsecretary M P Pandove who is notknown to possess a hardlinestance," a BCCI official said.Modi got a stay order from Pa-

tiala House Court on Saturday, theDelhi High Court gave afavourable verdict to the BCCIwhich literally ends any chancesModi harboured of escaping thelife ban. Modi was the IPL chair-man-cum-commissioner duringthe first three editions but was sus-pended immediately after theclosing ceremony in 2010, oncharges of financial irregularitiesin running of the league as well asimproper practices during auctionof two new teams before the thirdedition.
