For all those who want to knowwhetherwww.policeheart.comis genuine or not, the ADC has

good news and bad news.The good news is that it is gen-

uine alright. The bad news (if it canbe termed so) is that it is for Ahmed-abad alone!Yesterday, social networks were

literally buzzing with the news ofthewebsite in themorning. Accord-ing to those who forwarded it tomyriad friends along the social net-work lifelines like Facebook andTwitter, as well as phone messagesandWhatsapp, women are urged toregister theirmobile numbers alongwith the contact numbers of ten rel-atives as a safety precaution,should they land in threatening sit-uations. Needless to state, the trig-ger for the buzz was the recentassault upon a journalist last week.Barely had the news of the web-

site been welcomed and evidentlytried out when, a new set of mes-sages were passed around declaringthe whole thing a fake, possibly aploy to get information as part of aphishing operation. The ADC de-cided to do some checks to find outmore about this website. Here ishow we went about it:Though the site www.police-

heart.com did not open up twice orthree times in the beginning, theURL did open up a little later.Exploring the site revealed that,

though the “About Us” option (avery basic page of every website)where people could know what thewebsite was all about, wasn’t pres-ent, a pictorial representation of

how the service works was put up.And it was clearly mentioned that,“This is a pilot project and currentlyit is operational only in Ahmed-abad.” Also, other than the “Login”,“Register” and “Downloads” tab inthe website, other tabs like “Feed-back Forms”, “Press Clippings”,“Electronic Media” and “AwarenessCampaign”were devoid of anymat-ter.

YouTube and Facebook to therescue:The tab that directed us to

YouTube and Facebook (FB) got ussome details.A click on the FB tab took us to

https://www.facebook.com/Police-HEART where the site has been de-scribed as “a very helpful uniqueservice launched for the first time inIndia to rescue woman in an emer-gency situation.” It also said “When-ever you find yourself in a situation

where you need urgent help fromthe police then you can use this serv-ice.” YouTube landed us on the pageof entrepreneur named RuzanKhambatta that had news videostalking of www.policeheart.comwhere it was said that this is a jointinitiative of the Gujarat Home andPoliceDepartment to rescuewomanin emergency situation (sic.).What is the confusion all about?The lack of knowledge, that the

service is currently available only atAhmedabad, information about thesite and its owners, and about theerratic behaviour of the site with re-gards to access and the basic lack oftrust in citizens’ minds, might haveled to this confusion. To add to this,a well known Radio Jockey (RJ) ap-parently announced that the sitewas fake, on his show. An FB userhad made this comment on the FBpage of the website. (After sometime, however, this comment wasremoved.)

The brain behindpoliceheart.com clears the confu-sion…Ruzan Khambatta, an Ahmed-

abad-based social entrepreneurand the technology provider for po-liceheart.com speaking to the ADC,cleared the confusion about thegenuineness of the website.

Why isn’t the site accessible allthe time?The site has been fluctuating due

to internet connectivity blockages.My team is working on it. We areplanning to pull down this versionand put up a newone soon. Also, weare helping people by suggesting

ways to access the site.

What about the absence of an“About Us” tab?It’s my fault. Now, when I look at

from the perspective of an individ-ual who is fromoutside Gujarat andhasn’t heard of the policeheart ini-tiative, I realise that anybody whodoesn’t get proper informationabout the site on the site itself,would doubt its credentials.

What about the lack of matter inall tabs except the login, registra-tion and downloads tab?Again it is because of the internet

connectivity blockages that theplug-ins had to be pulled out. So thepress clippings aren’t accessible. Butyou can see relevant videos whichare authentic on our FB page.

Talking about FB,what about themention of an RJ calling your web-site “fake”?Yes I saw that. I guess he was in

toomuch of a hurry tomake a com-ment on air. He could have seen thevideos that show the police controlroom and other government offi-cials talking about this initiative.

Are you planning to ask for an

apology from the FM channel?I don’t want him to apologise to

me per say. But he could make anannouncement that he was wrongand clarify that such a service exists.That this is a genuine site and notfake.

Any plans to launch a similarservice inMumbai?Wewould be glad to do so but we

need to get the right contact personfor this.

Note:So there it is, the good newsand the not-so-good! However, it isalways better to check the authen-ticity of any site before giving outpersonal details as you can neverknowhow itmight be used or rathermisused.

Motorists speeding along theEastern Express Highway from

Thane to Sion have to literallyscreech to a stop and then changegears once they encounter theLal Bahadur Shastri Marg (LBSMarg), themajor arterial road pass-ing through Ghatkopar West andconnecting Thane with Sion.The main problem in this partic-

ular part of the run is the delay inwidening the road. The LBS

Marg passes through residentialand commercial areas making itmore congested and encroachedupon. “Initially, the MMRDA made

plans to widen the roadwhich never took off for various rea-sons.Main issuewas rehabilitation.Later, the LBS Marg project was

handed over to the BMC for main-tenance,” said a source.Dr Parag Shah, a resident of

GhatkoparWest, “Everywhere along

the LBS Marg stretch, there existtwo lanes on each side, but theGhatkopar West stretchdoes not even have one proper lane.One has to suffer the menace ofheavy traffic on any day or timewhile passing through here. I thinkit is high time the road wideningwork is taken up and completedwithout delay.”U B Modi, Traffic Inspector of

Ghatkopar division, informs, “Ourstaff is dealing strictly with unau-thorized parking on this stretch ofthe road.The double parking on theGhatkopar West part of LBS Margdoes not happen now. Traffic copscan always be seen manning theroad to ensure smooth flow of traf-fic.”“We are ready to shift fromhere if

we are given proper alternatives.Here road widening can takeplace only when all the establish-ments located along this stretchare properly rehabilitated,” said ashop owner on condition ofanonymity.The ADC spoke to Vijay Kamble,

assistant municipal commissionerof N Ward, who said, “The roadwidening of LBSMarg at GhatkoparWest will be done. Before I joined,many initiatives were taken on thisproject. The process is on”.

Chaos and congestion reigns as the roads become narrow here in Ghatkopar, creating bottlenecks that see traffic brought to a crawl at all times of the day or night.

set off a bout of political stone-throw-ing in the state, with the BJP, Shiv Senaand the MNS directly gunning forPatil’s head.Many Congress leaders arealso upset with the recent incidents inthe state, especially rationalist DrNarendra Dabholkar’s murder andnow, the gang rape of the photojour-nalist. Some NCP leaders are also ofthe opinion that Patil is losing his gripon this sensitive department, andthough they are reluctant to commentopenly, they have expressed their re-sentment at the party forum.

According to sources, Patil toldPawar that he was willing to step downif that would help the party and thegovernment. It seems that Pawar doesnot want to give an impression that hehas succumbed to pressure from theBJP and MNS, which have demandedthat Patil be sacked. Themonsoon ses-sion of the Parliament is on, afterwhich he is likely to take a call on thelaw and order situation in the state,sources have divulged. At the sametime, one group in the NCP is stronglyclaiming that Pawar wants Patil to con-tinue.Supriya Sule, NCP MP who had de-

manded capital punishment for all

those involved in the gang rape of thephotojournalist, has said that this isnot the time for blame games, and theissuemust be collectively sorted out byall stake-holders.Significantly, all the opposition par-

ties came down heavily on Patil afterthe gang rape. MNS chief Raj Thack-eray was at his most vitriolic, appeal-ing to people to send bangles to thehome minister. Shiv Sena PresidentUddhavThackeray stated that the inci-dent had brought shame to Mumbaiand to humanity.State BJP president Devendra

Phadanvis said, “If you can’t improvethe law-and-order situation in Mum-bai, you must resign. Mumbai is nolonger the safe city it used to be.”Against this hostile backdrop, Patil

might get some respite from his bossfor a little while.

IN OR OUT?

Three teams of forensic expertshave been roped in to ensurethat there will be no loopholesin the gangrape caseBy Neel Shah

In a bid to make a watertight caseagainst the accused and to preventthe possible points that can be raisedby the defence,Mumbai’s crime branch

is leaving no stone unturned.In this regard, the crime branch, on

Monday, sent the five gang-rape ac-cused to the state run J J Hospital toconduct potency tests. “The defencelawyermight raise a point about the ac-cused being impotent, which can affectthe prosecution’s case to secure convic-tion. Considering this, and several suchpoints, the investigators are collectingevery possible evidence against the ac-cused,” said JCP (Crime) HimanshuRoy.On Monday, city police chief Satya-

pal Singh said, “Apart from the gatheredevidence, scientific evidence would begiven more importance. For this, thepolice have sought the help of threeforensic expert teams.”A team of forensic experts from

Mumbai is already working on the caseand a team fromAhmedabad as well asDelhi, have been roped in to collect ev-idence. In fact, sources informed thatthe forensic expert teams from Delhiarrived in the city by 5 pm onMonday.According to a crime branch official,

one of the five accused had clicked thephoto of the victim on his mobilephone. Subsequently, the accusedthreatened the girl that if she com-plained, she would be murdered, asthey had her photo with them, andtherefore could trace her.Investigators have recovered themo-

bile photo which the accused had soldto a person in Null Bazar in SouthMumbai, said police, who are trying toretrieve the photo with the help of ex-perts.Interrogation of the accused revealed

that they had targeted some girls in thepast, of which one was a rag picker,while others were couples who hadcome inside the Shakti Mills com-pound for privacy.Meanwhile, the police have identi-

fied 272 places in the city, which havebeen lying secluded and deserted forthe past several years. To prevent oc-currence of such crimes, the owners ofthese places have been instructed todeploy proper security guards. Singhensured that the chargesheet of thecase would be filed as early as possible.

The Parent Teachers As-sociation (PTA) of DonBosco School in

Matunga have registered astrong protest against a fewdisgruntled parents choosingto approach a political partyfor redressal, rather thanmaking use of the mecha-nism provided in-house toaddress their grievances.In a meeting convened on

Saturday in the school prem-ises, attended by parents,teachers, the manager andthe principal of the school, aswell as other staff members,unequivocal criticism wasvoiced at theway the political

party literally barged intoDon Bosco on August 19dur-ing the lunch recess.They forced their way into

the principal’s office andgherao-ed him with a list ofallegations, including parentsbeing “forced” to teach in theabscence of regular teachers,and “compulsory” contribu-tions being sought from themfor school activities.The P.T.A members ex-

pressed their admiration andsupport for the Educationand other facilities being pro-vided by the school fordecades. The P.T.A membersalso took strong objection tothe fact that a political partytrespassed into the school

premises and sought to inter-fere into the working of theschool. It was opined that ifthere was any complaint orgrievance the same shouldhave been placed before theP.T.A as also the School Man-agement to have the same re-solved and if the parent wasstill dissatisfied he couldcomplain to the EducationBoard for resolving the sameand there is no scope for anyoutside political interferencein the working of the Educa-tional Institution.During the meeting, the al-

legationofparentsbeingmadeto teach was discussed and itwas clarified that at no timehave they ever taken a class.

However, on a teacher beingsent for mandatory trainingprovided by the BMC or thestate government, onoccasionparents have themselves vol-unteered tomind a class.Nor have any contributions

been levied compulsorily onthe parents, the meeting dis-cussed, for various school ac-tivities. In fact, suchcontributions have been vol-untary and driven by the par-ents own desire to see themcontinue, since, for many ofthem, the range of activitiesprovided are the reason forprizing the school above oth-ers in the first place!

In a chilling reminder of the murderous assault on anAmerican national inside a local nearMarine Lines last

week, a 28-year-old woman was attacked with a blade byan unidentifiedman at Goregaon railway station at about7:45 pm onMonday.The victim, who has been identified as Rupali Shinde

(28), works at an industrial unit in Goregaon and was onher way back home in Nalasopara.She was waiting for a Virar-bound train when an

unidentified man slashed at her head with a blade, sec-onds before the train pulled into the platform. Womentravelling in the ladies compartment, who apparentlyknewRupali as one of their co-commuters, pulled her in-side, alighted at Nalasopara station and rushed her to theAlliance Hospital in a profusely bleeding state.

Food Security fromDecember

By A Staff Reporter

The Maharashtra Govern-ment has decided to im-

plement the Food SecurityBill from December 1 thisyear. The state will require3.88 lakh tonnes of foodgrains per month from theCentral quota to implementprovision of subsidised foodgrains to its citizens. A good75 per cent of the existingbeneficiaries in rural areasand 54 per cent of them inurban areas would benefitfrom the scheme. A total of7.17 crore people will be eli-gible for subsidised foodgrains in the state.Meanwhile, theMaharash-

tra Government in collabora-tion with the FoodCorporation of India hasbegun to strengthen the foodgrain storage system, by con-structing godowns at an esti-mated cost of Rs 2,000 crores.Incidentally, in the wake of

the increased requirement offood grains to implement the

proposed Food Security Act,procurement operations willbe expanded benefitinglarger number of farmers.Food grain requirement forthe implementation of thebill is estimated to be 614.3lakh tonnes as against the ex-isting requirement of 563.7lakh tonnes for the TargetedPublic Distribution System.Farmers will get more fortheir produce i.e. Rs.12.85 perkg for wheat and Rs.12.50 perkg for paddy as minimumsupport price (MSP).Two-thirds of the popula-

tion will become legally enti-tled to receive highlysubsidised food grains afterthe enactment of the FoodSecurity Bill. Each entitledpersonwill receive five 5 kg offood grains per month i.e.rice, wheat or coarse grains atRs.3, Rs.2 and Re. 1 per kg re-spectively. The poorest of thepoor will continue to get 35kg food grains per householdper month under the Antyo-daya AnnaYojana.

The bill also has specialfocus on nutritional needs ofwomen and children. Theeldest woman of the house-hold above 18 years is consid-ered the head of thehousehold for the purpose ofissue of ration cards as perprovisions of the Bill. Preg-nant women and lactatingmothers will get maternitybenefit of Rs.6,000 besidesnutritious food. Childrenbelow 14 years of age will getfood with higher nutritionalnorms.Access to highly subsidised

food grains to small farmersunder proposed Food Secu-rity Act and assured MSP fortheir produce will ease theburden on their earnings andallow them the option tospend themoney so saved onother necessities. Hence it isexpected to help improvetheir quality of life. Therefore,contrary to dissuading farm-ers fromproducingmore, theAct will in fact encouragethem to produce more.

PTA puts interferingpolitical party in its place

The Maharashtra Government in collaborationwith the Food Corporation of India has begunto strengthen the food grain storage system,by constructing godowns at many locations,

at an estimated cost of Rs 2,000 crore

This is the story of thestruggle several hun-dred residents of the old

Bombay Improvement Trust(BIT) colony in Mazagon toown their dream homes inthe island city. It is a dreamthat literally millions ofMumbaikars surely share andfor which they are all willingto fight.Whatmakes this fightdifferent from others is thatthe struggle is not just withtheir developer. It is also witha neighbour beside whomthey have lived for decadesand who has now turned apolitician attached at varioustimes to different parties.Late on Saturday night, a

crucial meeting took place inthe BIT chawls, inwhich 1300residents and political partymembers participated, os-tensibly for the redevelop-ment of the prime 28,000 sqmeter plot in south Mumbai,where the market rate isRs.20,000 per sq ft. of real es-tate. Nothing concrete cameout of the hour-longmeeting,except a date for the nextmeeting.Residents are afraid to trust

anyone, including politiciansor even representatives of thecivic bodywhich is the ownerof the land. Eight years ago,one of the 16 buildings thatmakes up the BITChawls wasear-marked for redevelop-ment and its residents weresent to live in a hastily-con-structed transit camp build-ing set up between twochawls. Today, these resi-dents are still living in thetransit campwhich is itself inas bad shape as the otherbuildings. (See pics) Thereis still no sign of redevelop-ment.The 16 buildings and three

blocks of BIT Chawls inMazagon were constructedduring the British era, a fewyears after the First WorldWar. Over almost a century,generation after generationof the same families havespent their lives in the chawl.Now the civic body, as ownerof the buildings, has declaredmost of the buildings as ‘di-lapidated’.

At present, BIT Chawls andbuildings houses an esti-mated 1300 families. Some ofthem are working in the Bri-hanmumbai Municipal Cor-poration (BMC), the citypolice and other sectors.They have been paying Rs.25to Rs.40 per month as rent tothe civic body.The residents said about

the single structure selectedfor development, “The build-ing plan remained on paperfor years and no one turnedup for construction. Familieshave been forced to stay inthis now equally dilapidatedplace, risking their lives.”Meanwhile, some other

builder was entrusted withredevelopment of a few otherbuildings. Residents com-

plained that due process oflawwas compromised duringthe tendering process andthe issue had escalated tothe Supreme Court. It isstill in court at the presenttime.Last week, the civic body

planned to vacate the ‘dilapi-dated’ buildings by cuttingoff the water and electricitysupply. A ‘Chawl Bachchao’group consisting mainly ofsenior citizens raised theissue and the civic body backtracked, fearing a riot-likesituation.

People’s demandFirst demand is a CID inquiryinto the way residents in thetransit camp were dishoused

and action against culpritswho made mess of BITChawl. They want the BMCitself to develop the chawl ormake due process to selected,sincere and capable builderswho can develop the buildingin a particular timeframe.At the meeting on Satur-

day, minister for water re-sources (MaharashtraKrishna Valley DevelopmentCorporation) ShashikantShinde, said he would call ameeting of civic officers andurban development officialsfor the development of BIT.He assured that the processwould be “transparent andfast”.Meanwhile, the residents

have adopted a wait andwatch attitude.

BIT by BIT, Mazagon chawlresidents lose patience

This is a shot of the transit camp building to which families were relocated 8 years ago. It is now as dilapidatedas the other buildings.

A nightmare vista of BIT chawls in Mazagon, where it would seem that the conservancy department of BMC iscompletely absent.

By A Staff Reporter

On the occasion 20th an-niversary of its Conserva-

tion Education Centre (CEC),the Bombay Natural HistorySociety (BNHS) will organisea day-long seminar on Pro-motion of Environmental Lit-eracy in Maharashtra, incollaboration with UnitedStates-India EducationalFoundation (USIEF) on Sep-tember 21, 2013.Apart from insightful field

research and environmentconservation projects, the130-year old BNHS India hasalso been doing pioneeringwork in the area of nature ed-ucation. The CEC which isbased in 33-acres of forestedland in Goregaon, has been

playing a vital role in creatingawareness among the generalpublic, including studentsand teachers, about the im-portance of conservation andsustainable living.This seminar is being or-

ganised to give a commonplatform for all stake-holdersincluding institutions and in-dividuals working in the fieldof nature education to com-pile their studies and sharethem with each other.This seminar aims to docu-

ment and estimate the envi-ronmental literacy in ourstate by measuring the targetreached by its participants. Itwill check the impact of Na-ture Clubs in schools and col-leges, and evaluate whethereducational institutions withactive nature clubs are moreenvironmentally consciousthan those who do not haveone?

210 colleges from Mumbaiand Thane are yet to pay MUits share of funds, totallingmore than Rs.5 croreBy Yatin Ingle

Even though most citycolleges have com-pleted the fee collection

process for the academic year2013-2014, it seems several ofthem have not paid theirshare of various funds to thevarsity. As per reports re-ceived by the ADC, 210 col-leges from Mumbai andThane have not paid their

share of the Students’ Wel-fare, Disaster Relief, andSports funds toMumbai Uni-versity (MU).As per the fee structure of

MU, colleges have to pay thevarsity funds for cultural ac-tivities (Rs.6 per student),Disaster Relief (Rs.10 per stu-dent) and Sports andCulturalactivities (Rs.24 per student),which totals Rs.40 per stu-dent. MU, every year, organ-izes an annual sports meetand an annual cultural festi-val for students at the divi-sional, zonal, state andnational level. The funds cre-ated through the contribu-tion of various colleges are

completely used up for theseevents. The Disaster Relieffund is utilized by the stu-dents of the National SocialService (NSS) to provide food,shelter and basic amenities todisaster hit areas.Mrudul Nile, Director, Stu-

dentsWelfare, MU says, “Thevarsity has been setting itsdeadlines for the collection offunds, but colleges have notbeen following it. Collegesshould pay up as soon as pos-sible or it might become a

problem for the university tomanage funds for its culturaland sports meet.”Each college, on an aver-

age, comprises 2,500 stu-dents and at the rate of Rs.40per student, the total amountowed to MU is Rs.5 crore.When the ADC, spoke to

Dr. Naresh Chandra, ProViceChancellor, MU, he said,“Colleges should pay the uni-versity what they owe it forthe cultural, sports, and dis-aster relief activities. A de-faulters list for colleges whohave not paid has been cre-ated. If these institutes do notpay the varsity as soon aspossible, strict action will betaken against them.”

mentally literate studentswho take actions for natureconservation?Mumbai is commercial

capital of the country andhouses hundreds of corpo-rate companies. The seminaraddresses issues aboutwhether these companiestake social responsibility tomaintain the ecological bal-ance of environment, andhow they are promoting en-vironmental literacy amongtheir employees, sharehold-ers and associates.It will also check how effec-

tive is environmental report-ing in the city and over allstate, and how in the cutthroat competition of TRPs,are media houses handlingenvironment challenges.

THE mental temperament of human be-ings, known as gunas in Sanskrit, are of

three types. They are known as: Tamas Inac-tive; Rajas Active; Sattva Trans-active. Eachhas a distinct character of its own.Tamas is the state of thoughts in inertia. A

mood of lethargy, indolence, indifference.Indisposed to activity. A condition of slothand sleep.With no intellectual conviction topursue. Nor emotional feeling tomanifest. Aperson steeped in tamas lives a dull, inactivelife.With hardly any response to the world.Rajas is the state of passionate, desirous

and agitated thoughts. When a person bris-tles with frenzied actions. Leading to his in-volvement in the affairs of the world.Sattva is the state of thoughts in equa-

nimity, serenity, objectivity. When a personis poised, mature, contemplative. Detachedfrom worldly involvement and excitement.Hence termed trans-active.Sattva, rajas and tamas composed in dif-

ferent proportions accounts for the hetero-geneous variety of human beings. Everyindividual possesses all three gunas. Theproportion of these temperaments differsfrom person to person. Some have sattvapredominating over rajas and tamas. Theyare referred to as sattvik persons. The pre-dominance of rajas over the other two cre-ates a rajasik person. And the predominanceof tamas, a tamasik person.

The law of nature is such that the sattvaguna in an individual surfaces in the earlyhours of themorning. Between 4 am and 6 am.

His rajas and tamas lie dormant during thatperiod. Similarly rajas predominantly mani-fests at daytime between 6 am and 6 pm. Sodoes tamas show up at night from 6 pm to 4am.The law holds good for everyone. From thehighest sattvik to the lowest tamasik person.The sattvik temperament is highest in a

sattvik person. Less in a rajasik person. Leastin a tamasik person. Regardless of the quan-tum, the sattva in a person manifests in theearly hours. If the sattvik content ismore, thepressure for its expression ismaximum.Thatexplainswhy a sattvik personwakes up early.The pressure being low in a rajasik person,

he wakes up late. The tamasik has to be vir-tually pulled out of bed.Besides waking a person up early, the

other sattvik qualities are seen clearly man-ifest at that time. Like being calm and com-posed, serene and contemplative. Beingaverse to gross physical activity. Or indulgingin sensual pleasure. Hence, early morning issaid to be well suited for contemplation andspiritual practice. Study, reflection andmed-itation become effective between 4 and 6am. Thus, utilising the early hours and retir-ing early, you can increase your sattva, con-trol your rajas and reduce your tamas.Just as sattvamanifests early in themorn-

ing, rajas finds its expression during thecourse of the day.Whatever rajasik content aperson has, it forces its way out after the

sattvik time is over. Hence people are foundbristling with activity during daytime. Therajasik person, with a large proportion ofrajas, becomes frightfully active.Tamas emerges after 6 pm. Indulgence in

intoxicants, sex, gambling etc is conspicuousduring night-time. Most pronounced intamasik persons. Less in rajasik and virtuallyabsent in sattvik persons.Your mission in life should be to raise

yourself from tamas to rajas to sattva. Andyour goal to reach trans-sattva. Transsattvais the state of Self-realisation, God-realisa-tion. As you drop your tamas and rajas youattain more and more sattva. As you con-tinue the spiritual pursuit your sattva gradu-ally displaces all rajas and tamas. But sattvaalone cannot exist since the human being isessentially made up of all three gunas. Con-sequently, pure sattva transforms itself totrans-sattva. You become the supreme Self.Liberated from the persecutions of the body,mind and intellect. From the balcony of theSelf youwatch the procession of perception,emotion and thought go by.

THE Indian Administrative Service (IAS)is at the apex to run the country’s ad-ministration. It replaced the IndianCivil

Service (ICS) which was an instrument in thehands of the British to rule over India. Afterindependence, there was serious thinkingwhether there should be an all-India serviceat all. The states wanted persons from theirown area to administer.But, then Home Minister Sardar Patel was

particular about an all-India service to articu-late the feeling of unity and tomaintain the di-versities prevailing in the country. The servicewould also, Patel asserted, ensure that the In-dian Constitution remained supreme in themedleyofpullsbydifferent states.Twoall-Indiaservices, IAS and IP, were constituted. Theycame to occupy top positions in the states.This arrangement worked fairly well till the

early seventies when the rot started due tothe Centre’s maniacal effort to concentratepower and the states’ ambition to play poli-tics through civil servants. This has practica-bly nullified good administration. The IAShas become a glorified state service.

The service had become servileIn reality, the Emergency is the watershed.

Then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi sus-pended the Constitution and used the IAS of-ficers to enforce illegal acts and suppress thecritics. This was the time when the thin linebetween right andwrong,moral and immoralwas erased. Only a couple of officers stood upagainst what was sheer dictatorship.Fear of punishment for disobediencemade

the service servile. It was once a steel framebut it has now turned into a seal frame. TheShahCommission, appointed to look into theexcesses during the emergency, has deploredhow the bureaucracy caved in. The Commis-sion has said: “The ethical considerations in-herent in public behavior became generallydim and in many cases beyond the mentalgrasp of many of the public functionaries.Desire for self-preservation as admitted by a

number of public servants at various levelsbecame the sole motivation for their officialactions and behavior…”The service has not recovered from the car-

rots dangled before it during the emergency.In fact, it is going out of theway to placate therulers. The latter, in turn, have rewardedthose who did what the rulers wanted. Themalaise is largely because of two reasons:one, the rulers do not respect the regulationsand violate them to reap benefits for them-selves and their parties; two, the IAS officerswho are allotted to the states, have surren-dered because of threat of transfer or postingto an unimportant position.Therefore, it is heartening to see IAS officers

like Durga Shakti Nagpal from UP and AshokKhemka from Haryana, standing up againstthe wrongs the rulers wished them to do. Shehas been suspended because of stopping theillegal mining by sandmafia. It is not true sheendangered communal harmony by pullingdown the wall of a mosque. One, she didnothing of the sort.Two, in any case, in a judg-ment, the SupremeCourt has said that a placeof worship should be pulled down immedi-ately if the government land had been en-croached upon.It is a pity that the Supreme Court rejected

a public interest litigation (PIL) petition chal-lenging her suspension. The court is techni-cally correct that it cannot interfere inmatters between the government and theemployees, but it should have realized theanger which swept through the country fol-lowing action against the two officials.The support of IAS associations from

some states and the trainees at Mussorieto Durga evokes hope that the service whichhas ingratiated itself with politicians maybegin to assert itself aswas the case before theemergency. The manner in which the three-member IAS officers’ committee endorsed theHaryana government casts shadowon the be-havior of the service. The nation still hopesthat the bureaucracy will make up for the de-ficiencies which the politicians, particularlybelonging to the ruling party in a state or atthe Centre, have created in the system.

Robert Vadra has created a stenchThe service itself will have to do introspec-

tion if officers were to act only on the basis ofself-promotion. Today when the commonman does not get even what is rightfully dueto him, he is disillusionedwith the entire sys-tem.True, politicianswill continue to keep aneye on the electorate, but the IAS cannot af-ford to fall prey to their designs. A publicfunctionary must display a degree of vigi-lance and willingness to sacrifice.The Gandhi dynasty should draw a lesson

from the example of Feroze Gandhi, son-in-law of Jawaharlal Nehru. Feroz Gandhi wouldtakeupcasesof corruption inParliament, evento the embarrassmentofNehru.Hewas soup-right thathedidnot even live at thePrimeMin-ister’s house but had a separate bungalow towhich he was entitled as a member of parlia-ment. It is anothermatter that FerozeGandhi’sson, Rajiv Gandhi, got the atmosphere con-taminated when, as the Prime Minister hebought the Bofors guns. And now, RobertVadra, son-in-law of Congress president SoniaGandhi, has created a stench.

Ponder awhile...The best argument against democracy isa five-minute conversation with the av-erage voter.

— Winston Churchill

THE long discussion on theFood Security Bill in parlia-

ment yesterday showed that allparties had no go but to supportit. Opposition parties raised someobjection and introducedamendments. This exercise wasresorted to only to stop the rulingparty from hogging the credit.The truth is that the UPA gov-

ernment introduced a bill whichwas conceived by Congress Presi-dent Sonia Gandhi only to get at-tention from voters in rural andurban areas. It was clearly a poll-motivated move, a devise to at-tract voters in the 2014 Lok Sabhaelections. The Congress, whichhas been dented by dozens ofscams, is making efforts to winover the aam admi. The Congressparty has to first offer an explana-tion as to why there is so muchpoverty in the country. It was thetotal neglect of the poor that hasled to hunger across the country.It is clear that the Congress is on acover-up operation. The opposi-tion parties – mainly theBharatiya Janata Party – evidentlyfear that if they do not supportthe bill, the voters will concludethat while the Congress party isinterested in helping the poor tosurvive, the BJP is not concernedat all in supporting a measurethat will be hugely beneficial tothem.It is clear as daylight that the

Food Security Bill is really nothingbut a vote security bill.

AS reported it is indeed veryshocking and disturbing to knowabout the alarming rise in sexcrimes particularly on children.People are angry and justifiedwhen they ask for death penaltyon such depraved culprits. Butdeath is not the solution. Even ifthe culprit is given death penaltythe chapter is closed and gives re-lief and satisfaction to generalpublic but it will not have any af-fect or deter would be culprits asthe chapter is closed without anyado. It is well said: “prevention isbetter than cure”. Social media,movies, soap operas and elec-tronic and print media can playmajor role in enlightening peoplethat to have illegal or natural sexis a great crime and sin. Till todaymost of the movies or dramas andoperas depict women as sex sym-bol or a toy. It is common scene inmost of the movies that herotaunts or teases women by vari-ous lewd remarks. Mere deathsentence will not help much butsocial awareness by social, printand electronic media can help alot and women should not be de-picted as a sex symbol or playfulthing but should behave in a veryrespectable and dignified mannerlike in our old movies of RajKapoor, V. Shantaram and BimalRoy which is a pleasure to watcheven today with children andfamily without any shame.

ONLY in Mumbai 91 rape casesand 66 cases of females’ kidnap-ping cases were committed just inthe past three months. There is 15per cent increase in the crimesagainst women in just one year.Such crimes occur because of nofear of police as well as law of theland. The anti-women crimeshardly reach the court of law, andwhen they do reach, the hearingsand verdicts take many yearscoming. Only in Maharashtra 91per cent of such cases are pendingfor hearings or verdicts since solong. In addition, very few crimi-nals are ever punished, forget ‘se-verely.’ Nearly 1,000 teenagers andgrown up females have commit-ted suicide due to the mental dis-turbance even after molestation.In a majority of our police stationsthere is acute shortage of ladyconstables. If the Pakistan-backedterrorists don’t get executed for atleast four years, like Ajmal Kasab,what of the rapists? Our laws arenot only extremely loose, but alsowith number of loopholes for ‘jailand easy bail.’

THE ghastly rape case in Mumbaicame in handy for Raj Thackerayto gain brownie points by runningdown homeminister R.R. Patil.While this may be expected of apolitician—particularly when heis burning with election fever—hisfurther exhortation to citizens topresent the homeminister with agarland of bangles exposes theunfortunate mindset of males inour society that culturally type-casts women as weak, incapable

and cowardly. It is then a smallstep to rationalise the macho ad-venturism of males as a matter ofcourse.

APROPOS ‘Oppn demands RR’sresignation’ (ADC, Aug 24), thisincident of monstrous rape onceagain reveals howmuch the safetyof Indian women is at stake in our

country. So far, Mumbai was en-joying a reasonably fair standardof safety for the weaker sex butthis devastating gang rape, thattoo in broad daylight certainlyraised the question of the stan-dard of policing and the state oflaw and order in this financialcapital of India. The Dy CMshould certainly catch the bull bythe horn and ensure that a fasttrack court is instituted to bring tojustice these monstrous criminalsat the earliest. He should ratherfocus on such issues wherein thebasic safety of the citizens is a se-rious concern than those mun-dane issues like banning thedance bars, etc.

—Bikram Banerjea,Mumbai

IT is very tragic and dishearteningto read that a young woman onher work duty with a male col-league was sexually assaulted inbroad daylight. Mumbaiites areshocked and outraged that a gangrape has taken placeon a helpless womanwho is believed to berecovering from the assault. Thepolice have arrested all the fivemonsters involved in the ghastlydeed. Should not the police com-missioner and the homeministerown responsibility for the failureof the police department to pre-vent such an incident and resignfrom their posts? Citizens ofMumbai expect accountabilityfrom those whose job is to protectthe people from such ghastlycrimes.Why cannot the policelaunch a drive to nab drug addictsand drunken elements found loi-

tering the streets of Mumbai? Cor-ruption has so much seeped inour society that the honest hard-working citizen of Mumbai is ex-posed to such elements as theyhave no one to look up to for theirprotection and safety and feel as-sured of returning home safelyfrom work.Every civic conscious citizen

should immediately report to thepolice and law enforcers aboutany drug peddlers, alcoholics,

gamblers and anti-social ele-ments in their area for the policeto take remedial action.Weshould strengthen the hands ofthe law enforcement agencies tohelp them combat crimes for asafer Mumbai.

APROPOS your article ‘Journalistsdemand homeminister, policecommissioner’s ouster’ (ADC, Aug24). The protesting journalistshave not exactly burnished theirimage by shouting slogans andaping our self-serving politicians.The demand for the resignation ofthe homeminister and policecommissioner is a meaninglessgesture and will achieve nothing.Even if they succeed, especially inthe case of the homeminister, theodds are that he will replaced bysomeone equally or even more in-competent. It is no secret that ourministers are allocated portfoliosnot on the basis of their expertiseor experience, but merely on po-litical arithmetic and their cloutwithin the party. And instead ofreplacing the police commis-sioner, the press should pressurisethe government to drasticallyprune the unwarranted securitygiven to politicians and bureau-crats. This is the real reason whyour police force is perennially un-derstaffed and constrained fromperforming their primary duty ofprotecting common citizens.

ALL our leaders and so called in-

tellectuals seem to have masteredan art of telling the word“shocked” when ever someghastly event takes place. FromJaved Akhtar to Shobhaa Demighthave uttered this termmore thanhundred times. The horrendousact of rape of photojournalist byfive thugs have shaken the ‘con-science’ of Mumbaikars ‘onceagain’. There are many reasons forsuch dastardly acts.With the in-crease of population and freeavailability of pornographic mate-rials, such incidents are likely toincrease. Somemay say that thereis no increase in terms of percent-age. There is no point in passingthe laws when old laws are notimplemented properly and judi-ciously. This photojournalist’srape case also will go the Nirb-haya way. God save the country!

THIS refers to your edit-piece‘Rape trial: Judiciary proceedingsmust be changed’ (ADC, Aug 26).One would readily endorse yourviews that the judiciary proceed-ings need to be changed drasti-cally with a special court set upexclusively to try cases ofrape. More importantly, consider-ing the gravity of the crime, thetestimony of the survivor and heridentification of the culprits andthose of her colleague besides theevidence from the boy of the lo-cality who had helped nab thecriminals should be sufficient toaward the punishment. In fact,one would go to the extent of sug-gesting that in clear-cut cases likethis, the defence lawyers them-selves may not overdo their joband should facilitate the dispen-sation of justice to ‘Nirbhaya-2’. Itis heartening to note that UjjwalNikam has been appointed as thePublic Prosecutor for the case.

HATS off and a big salute to theMumbai Police team for arrestingall the five accused who were in-volved in the brutal gang rape of aphotojournalist, in less than threedays. I am sure Mumbai policewould have laboured a lot andtaken extreme pains and deployedall their sources andmachineryand left no stone unturned intheir efforts to nab them therapists. I am really susprised athow the police could identify andcatch them when they all hadvanished after the gruesomecrime and how were they able tonab them from among crores ofpeople in this nation. The networkwas so strong and well connectedto go after the criminals. In factone of them was caught on theDelhi-Haryana bordfer, when hewas about to go to Bangaldesh.Great job by the Mumbai Policewho have proved to be secondbest--next only to the ScotlandYard of UK, in the world.

ALL said and done; Mumbai cityis not safe enough for women and

it is proved beyond doubt. Allalong we were pointing out Delhias the rape city of India. ButMumbai is not lagging behind.From the menace of securityguards to the cruel act by theboyfriend, molestation inside thelocal train and robbing and rapingof foreign women, Mumbai stoodfirst in recent times. If daytime lifeis so dangerous as in the case ofShakti Mill rape case, nothing isgiving confidence to women to goout freely and work in Mumbai.Monstrous attack on a woman

photographer opened up the Pan-dora’s Box that Mumbai carriesequal risk like Delhi and othermetro cities in India. At this rateour tourism will not flourish assuch types of incidents paint abad picture about India and herrapists. It is time to make surewomen are safe in the commercialcapital. People come to the city inthe hope of making their liveli-hood but repent their action asthe culprits roam in the guise ofrapists.

HAVING lived in Mumbai sincemy birth, I feel sorry forthe women in this part of thecountry regularly being subjectedto ill-treament of all sorts day andnight. National outrage over thecommercial capital shamebrought a black mark onMumbai.The shock over rape and the up-roar, all did make an impact onstate government in general andthe police department in particu-lar. All along all the rape victimssuffered in silence but this timeround she has come out in theopen in a big way. Even after 65years of Independence, the atroci-ties on women continue and weare simply eye-witness for what ishappening to women. The Statepolice force should have the gutsand gumption to accord punish-ment without causing any delay.

— Jayanthy Subramaniam, Sion

� � �

EVEN as my heart goes out to thepained photojournalist and herfamily, I believe the Mumbai copshave done a decent job in trackingdown the culprits who committedthe heinous crime. Everyone andhis half brother are castigating theMumbai Police force for crimesagainst women in the city, but letme tell you that the police is not“omnipotent” and cannot be atevery place, at every time. The cityis bursting at the seams with somany people, plus the floatingpopulation who enter and leavethe city. The police force does nothave the man force to handle peo-ple, festivals (we have too many ofthem) and not to forget theVVIPsecurity. Police reforms are neces-sary, which includes freeing themfrom government diktats andpressures.Slums, which are vote banks of

politicians also need some trim-ming, as a lot of anti-socials areholed up there. All is not over forthe city yet, action oriented gover-nance is the need of the hour.

LETTER OFTHE DAY

APT SOLUTION: Mere death sentence will not help but the media in general canhelp a lot; women should not be depicted as sex symbols or toys.

Death for rapists is not the solution, prevention is!



CITY

By Suresh Golani

ABJP corporator from the MiraBhayandar Municipal Corpo-ration (MBMC) faces disqual-

ification for providing a bogus castecertificate during the 2012 civicpolls. The Divisional Caste Verifica-tion Department, Konkan Bhavan,has now issued an order to cancelthe validity of her certificate.It should be noted that Saraswati

Rajnikant Mayekar (BJP), had de-feated her nearest NCP rival Nar-mada Vaity, by a slender margin of80 votes to wrest away Ward No. 4(A), which was reserved for womenunder the Other Backward Caste(OBC) category. QuestioningMayekar’s caste status, Vaity, filed awrit petition (No.9260/2012) in theMumbai High Court, claiming thatthe Mayekar’s OBC certificate wasprocured by misrepresenting facts,as she, according to her claims, didnot belong to the Macchimar(Daldi) community.In reply to the petition, a divi-

sional bench comprising JusticeMrs. Mridula Bhatkar and JusticeA.S. Oka, had remitted the matterfor re-verification of the caste cer-

tificate to the Caste Scrutiny Com-mittee in April this year. As per thecourt directives, both the partieswere at liberty to submit additionaldocumentary evidence before thecommittee to substantiate their de-fence and claims.

Brain drainFrom oversleeping on the weekendto having sex, there are manysurprising things that can causethat throbbing pain in your head.Priyanka Singh tells you about anassortment of headaches that youmight be unaware of

Brains can’t feel pain. A headache is a painsensed in the nerves and muscles of thehead and neck, as well as the meninges(the membranous covering of the brain

and spinal cord). Your brain itself cannot sensepain, so a headache has nothing to do with yourbrain hurting. It is actually a pain somewherearound your brain, being picked up by nerveendings. Early research suggested that therewere primarily three types of headaches —migraines, tension headaches and clusterheadaches. However, astoundingly, there areseveral types of headaches triggered because ofvarious reasons. We tell you about them, theirtriggering factors and how you can ease them.

Rebound headaches

Rebound headaches are chronic headaches thatoccur due to overuse of medicines. Dr. RakeshSingh, a neurologist at S. L. Raheja Hospital tellsus, “You take a medicine for your headache andafter the effect wears off, the headache comesback.” But, what makes the headache chronic?Regularly taking any painkillers, such as aspirin,more than twice a week, or taking migrainedrugs for more than 10 days a month, can putyou at risk for rebound headaches in just a fewmonths. Dr. Vyankatesh Joshi from SDF HolisticHealthcare & Research Centre tells us that theycan be sudden and quite severe. He says, “Stopovertaking painkillers and consult your doctor atthe earliest.”

TenSion headacheS

This is the most common type of headache,which usually feels like a constant ache orpressure — rather than throbbing — on bothsides of the head or at the back of the headand neck. Triggers include stress, anxiety,bad posture and clenching your jaw. Theseheadaches can become chronic, althoughthey usually aren’t severe. Dr. Rakesh saysthat it helps greatly if there’s a reduction inwork load and stress levels. Over-the-counter pain relievers also help, but in severecases, prescribed drugs may be needed.

early morning headacheS

If you’re waking up in pain, there are severalpossible culprits. One could be that yourmedication may be waning while you sleep,resulting in a rebound headache. Sleepapnea sufferers may also be prone toheadaches early in the day, as are those withdental headaches (see below). Dr. Rakeshadds that these headaches might needinvestigation to rule out brain pathology as

there could be a structural lesion in brain.However, such cases are very rare.

cluSTer headacheS

These one-sided headaches are short-lived(15 minutes to three hours), but areexcruciating. These are so painful thatthey’re referred to as suicide headaches. Theoccurrence of these headaches is notconsistent. They can recur regularly,sometimes multiple times a day, for a certainperiod of time and then stop for months oreven years. According to Dr. Rakesh, triggering factors includealcohol, cigarettes, high altitudes and certainfoods. He also says that at an acute stage,oxygen therapy might be required. Dr.Vyankatesh adds, “Normally medications areused but if that is not helpful, then thepatient might have to undergo surgery.”

migraineS

A migraine is a disorder characterised byrepeated attacks of severe headache. It is acommon form of headache that is believedto occur as a result of complex interactionsbetween the nervous system and thevascular system, as well as alterations inbrain chemicals. According to Dr. ShreepadKhedekar, clinical director of ImperialClinics, they may occur as often as severaltimes per week or as rarely as once or twice ayear. Migraines are three times morecommon in women than men. Speaking

about the factors that can cause migraines,Dr. Shreepad says, “Allergies and allergicreactions, bright lights, loud noises, certainodours or perfumes, physical or emotionalstress, changes in sleep pattern or irregularsleep, smoking or exposure to smoke,skipping meals or fasting — all of thesefactors can trigger a migraine.” Somelifestyle alterations that might help to reducethe frequency of migraines include sleepingenough, reducing stress, drinking plenty ofwater, avoiding certain foods and regularexercise. Also, your doctor might prescribemedicines to deal with the condition.

denTal headacheS

Dr. Karishma Jaradi, aesthetic dentist atDentzz Dental Care tells us that headachesincluding facial pains can be linked toproblems in the mouth. The root cause ofthese connects to a person’s dentalproblems. Wisdom teeth can cause aheadache which affects the nerves andcauses chronic headaches. Misaligned bite isamong the main causes of these headaches,which cause tightness and pain in thetemples, across the forehead or on the backof the head. The upper and lower jaw being

different in size or malformed can also leadto severe headaches. If your bite is unstabledue to poorly aligned teeth or even a missingtooth, your muscles work harder to bring theteeth together causing pain in the head. Poordental restorations, such as crowns andfillings, also can cause an uneven bite. It isexperienced even more in those individualswho grind their teeth at night (Bruxism) andclench their jaws. Karishma says, “Dentistscan make various types of appliances that fitover the teeth and allow the muscles to relax.Other treatments involve correcting yourbite so that the muscles are not strained.”

caffeine headacheS

If you have a habit of having coffee at 8amand on a certain day you aren’t able to haveit, rest assured that you’ll be greeted by aheadache. It can be severe or mild and isknown as a caffeine withdrawal headache.The chances of you experiencing theheadache increase with the number of cupsyou have each day. There are two solutions:either give in to the cravings or quitaltogether. While the headaches will beconsistent for a couple of weeks after you gocold turkey, they will eventually disappear.

orgaSm headacheS

These headaches occur after having anorgasm. You usually experience it aftercoitus, but they can even arise during sex.The intensity is dull and can linger for a fewhours after intercourse. Usually they go awayon their own. Dr. Vyankatesh says that ifyou’re prone to this type of headache, takinga pain killer an hour before sex may help.

ice cream headacheS

Many people complain about an intensepain in the head when they are enjoying anicy cold treat. People who suffer frommigraine problems are more susceptible tothese headaches. Dr. Vyankatesh gives us thefacts behind this headache — extreme coldsensation causes constriction of bloodvessels at the roof of the mouth whichincreases the supply of blood to one of thebrain’s arteries, leading to pain. What canyou do about them? Sip on some warm water

and the headache will eventually ebb away.

chronic daily headacheS

If you experience headaches at least 15 daysa month and it has been three months sinceyou’ve been facing this problem, then you’dbe better off by not ignoring the pain andblindly popping painkillers. These could becaused by overuse of pain medications, headinjury or, in rare cases, meningitis ortumours. After series of tests andobservations, and treating the root cause,this headache can be cured.

menSTrual headacheS

As if PMS and stomach cramps were not badenough to deal with! These headaches arecaused by estrogen levels suddenlydropping. They appear three days beforeyour menstruation starts and two days postit has started. Dr. Vyankatesh says eatingwhole grains, leafy vegetables and takingmagnesium supplements or over-the-counter headache remedies help.

Weekend headacheS

Dr. Vyankatesh says that during the week, welead a stressful life. And when the weekendarrives, there is a sudden change from stressto rest. That combined with oversleeping onweekends, going to bed later or caffeinewithdrawal results in weekend headaches.Over-the-counter medication and sticking toyour regular sleep-wake schedule can helpto a great extent.

emergency headache

According to Dr. Rakesh, this is the mostsevere headache. Many of Dr. Rakesh’spatients have described it as the worstheadache of their lives. What makes theseheadaches fall into the immediate attentioncategory? One is the sudden appearance of asensation that makes you feel that your headis going to explode. Another is when aheadache comes with a fever or extreme risein blood pressure. Other symptoms includevision or speech change, neck stiffness andloss of sensation or muscle weakness. It’striggered because of high blood pressure,


SinuS headacheS

People with migraines often mistakethem for sinus headaches. One studyfound that 88% of people with ahistory of sinus headaches probablyhad migraines instead. Symptoms likesinus pressure, nasal congestion andwatery eyes can happen in bothtypes. A true sinus headache is relatedto an infection and comes with nasaldischarge that is green or tinged withred. Dr Rakesh tells us that viral andbacterial infections or certainallergens can cause sinus headaches.“They can be resolved by takingantibiotics. They can also subside byputting hot pads over the nasal sinusor gargling with lukewarm water,”adds Dr. Vyankatesh.

>> If you wake up every morning with aheadache, you need to get yourselfexamined

>> Dentalproblems areone of thereasons youcould besuffering from a headache


« KNOW MORE: WHY YOU SHOULD CUT DOWN ON SAUSAGESSausages aren’t just unhealthy, but in fact, dangerous. Tejasvi Desai tells you whyYou’ve probably been told to stay clear of

sausages if you are watching your diet charts

closely. But, did you know that apart from all

the fat this juicy piece of meat has to offer, it

also has carcinogenic properties that

actually makes it dangerous for your

consumption? If you’ve ever tried piling your

hot dog up with spring onions and chopped

tomatoes in hopes of making it healthier,

condiments won’t really stand a chance

against cancer.

The problem with sausages is that they

aren’t only meat; it is a combination of

ground meat mixed with fat, salt, a variety of

seasonings, preservatives and sometimes

other fillers. What makes the sausages really

harmful are chemicals called nitrites and

nitrates that are present in them, which once

ingested can be converted into cancer

causing compounds.

According to a spokesman for Cancer

Research UK, these occur naturally in red

meat but are often added during meat-

processing as a preservative. Red meat also

contains a red pigment called haems, which

is broken down in the gut to form

compounds that are known to cause cancer.

Haems may even irritate or damage the cells

lining the bowel, leading to a greater risk of

developing cancer. The combination of these

two, as well as the sausages’ relatively high

fat and salt content make them some of the

most dangerous foods we consume.

You might think buying better quality

sausages with a high meat content could

reduce the risk of cancer. But, sadly buying

expensive sausages isn’t going to help much

because high meat content means there will

be less of other ingredients that could

possibly reduce fat content such as cereals

or fruits and vegetables that are often added

to modern sausages for flavour. Instead of

frying, grilled sausages will make a

considerable difference to your

cardiovascular health, but it won’t really

diminish its carcinogenic properties. Some

people try poking holes in them to let the fat

run out, but what’s a sausage without fat?!

Cutting down on your consumption is the

only healthy way out. If you still can’t control

your cravings, then opt for a sausage with

relatively low saturated fat and salt content.

So, the next time you are about to pick up a

hot dog, do think it over.

Before we tell you any more, be warned —–the ketogenic diet is not something youshould try on your own. Don’t see it as aDIY diet that you can jump onto in your

search for the perfect weight loss technique. Likeany other diet, it has its pros and cons and hasnutritionists and health experts conflicted aboutwhether it’s good or not. Recently, people havebeen talking about how it can be good for yourhealth when followed under the supervision of adoctor. It’s also been said to decrease stiffness,joint pain and even help with sleep apnea.

American science writer and co-founder of theNutrition Science Initiative spoke about thescience of the diet in his book titled Good Calories,Bad Calories, as well as in Why We Get Fat. Whileyou’ll have to contact your doctor to find outwhether it would be a good option for you, hereare a few things you should know about theketogenic diet:

it works by restrictiNg

carbohydrates

Rakhee Todankar, senior nutritionist at Gold’sGym India, tells us, “The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate protein, low-carbohydrate diet thatmimics aspects of starvation by forcing the bodyto burn fats rather than carbohydrates.” Usually,carbohydrates in your food are converted intoglucose that fuels brain function. The ketone thatgets transported instead, replaces glucose as anenergy source.

it puts your body iN a state

of ketosis

To understand the ketogenic diet, it’s important tounderstand what the state of ketosis is. Your bodyrelies on glucose for fuel and carbohydrates arebroken down to glucose and converted to energy.When this is restricted, your liver producesketones, which make your body utilise fat. It’s amode of metabolism that’s called ketosis. Someketosis is bad and induced by starvation ordiabetes. The acidic chemicals (ketones) can leadto problems if unchecked, but under the guidanceof a doctor or nutritionist it can be used to treathealth conditions and lose weight.

it started as part of a

medical treatmeNt

Epilepsy is what gave rise to the diet as theketones that are used as energy can actuallyreduce the number and severity of seizures. Theycan also have positive effects on your behaviour.

it does have aN ugly side

Rakhee is quick to point out that with all thebenefits, the ketogenic diet does have side-effects.If it’s followed without supervision, it can lead todehydration, constipation, hypoglycemia and inrare cases, kidney stone or gall stone.

what you should avoid &

what you should eat

Ketogenic diets mean saying goodbye to refinedcarbohydrates (pasta, cereals) and refined sugars(including anything containing them such as afruit juice) and including protein and healthy fatssuch as avocado and olive oil. This drops yourpressure and cholesterol. Since the excess glucoseis eliminated, it means that your cholesterol levelsreduce. But, your HDL cholesterol (that is goodfor your heart) can increase. It also helps lowerblood pressure, which can be good or baddepending on your pressure levels.

weight loss is possible

The reason this diet is getting popular is becauseit’s being used to normalise weight. It’s commonknowledge that if you decrease your carbohydrateintake, you have a better chance of losing weight.Depending on your insulin levels though, youmay need to do some training and exercise alongwith it. So, it is by no means a shortcut to weight loss.

it helps digestioN

If it’s followed with care, the ketone can reduceyour appetite. So, people with food addiction willstop craving fats. It’s also been said to decreasestomach pain, bloating and gas because you’recutting out grains and sugar.

While the Ketogenic Diet was originally developed to treatpatients with epilepsy, people are starting to get interested in itshealth benefits. Rhea Dhanbhoora helps you stay informedUNDERSTANDING

THE KETOGENIC DIET

NutritioNist speak

“This is a specialised diet and

should only be followed under

the care, supervision and

guidance of a dietician, as the

balance of the diet needs to be

carefully worked out. In specific

medical cases this diet is highly

recommended, but it should

not be made into a practice by

normal people to lose weight

as it has side-effects.”

nutritionist at Gold’s Gym India

elderly

A simple solution to eliminating futile products is to

buy good quality ones. If you don’t skimp on your

basic necessities such as moisturiser, shampoo,

conditioner and sunscreen, there’s no need (unless

you need it for a specific problem) to use a barrage of

other products every day. See what you may be

overusing or using unnecessarily:

1. Skin creams: We’ve told you before that just a

coin sized amount is fine. But, if you’re getting swayed

into purchasing separate products for your cuticles,

hands, body and soles of your feet in addition to your

face cream, you’re not really going to see much

improvement. You can use one cream on your legs,

arms, elbows and feet and just one more for your face

and neck.

2. toner: This one is surprising, but you don’t need

toner all the time. It’s not going to harm you if you do

use it, but unless you have very oily, acne prone skin,

you’re spending needless money on it.

3. Hydrating serum: On a day-to-day basis, feel

free to skip this product. There’s no need to use it

unless you have very sensitive skin, because it

essentially just soothes it. It’s also a great product to

use after an invasive procedure.

4. Sunscreen: Yes, sunscreen is essential and if

your makeup has anything under SPF 30, you should

double up with a sunscreen. But, if

you’re already using SPF 30, anything above is

actually unnecessary because it doesn’t block too

many additional rays. In fact, you’re just clogging your

skin with the extra cream.

5. Shampoo: Your hair does not need to be

shampooed daily. Two to three times a week is ideal.

The more often you shampoo your hair, the more

natural oils you are robbing from your locks, which

causes dry and weak hair. Refrain from using

shampoo daily and if your scalp and hair feel dirty,

rinse it with cool water.

6. dandruff products: You don’t need four

different products to treat your dandruff. While you

may think that using oil, shampoo and conditioner

and topping off with a serum (all anti-dandruff) will

eliminate the problem completely, you’ll actually get

the same results with a mild anti-dandruff shampoo.

Too many hair products can dry out your scalp and

actually increase your dandruff problem.

7. Split ends: You don’t need any products to get

rid of split ends, because while serums can cut frizz,

they will not eliminate split ends. Your only solution is

to cut them and start over.

8. too many: Cleanser, moisturiser, toner, skin

cream, face cream, cuticle oil, serum, anti-ageing

cream, vitamin C cream, eye creams, SPF lotions,

exfoliating products… can you say that without taking

a breath? There’s your problem in a nutshell. Stop

using so many products. If you take good care of your

skin, you won’t need them to begin with.

If you are living separately, we

suggest that you be on good and

close terms with their neighbours. In

case of an emergency and if you are

not able to make it there

immediately, it helps to have

someone trustworthy nearby.

Your number and emergency numbers should

be on speed dial. Apart from that, you must

also have these numbers written and pasted

around in the house where they can be seen.

The fridge, cupboard or bedroom walls are

good spots. This should be done so that if an

can get it easily.

While you need to ask them about decisions regarding their lives, you also need to

know that sometimes their mental state is not prepared to make quick decisions.

you here need to make a decision as to whether they should visit the doctor or not.

You’ll have to learn to make some decisions on their behalf.

It is necessary for older people to

include some amount of light exercise in

their routine. Whether it’s yoga, a walk

in the park, or joining a laughter club —

see to it that they are involved in a

« KNOW MORE: HOW TO SPOT A GOOD TRAINER A fitness trainer’s advice isoften taken as the gospeltruth. And it should be, butonly if the trainer is good.Dev Goswami tells you howto pick a fitness trainer Everyone knows that a good trainer is an

invaluable addition to your exercise

regime. Not only do they guide you, they

also ensure that you aren’t inadvertently

putting yourself at risk of an injury.

However, it is possible that you will come

across trainers who’ll push you more than

necessary or those who won’t take much

interest in you. To avoid having to work out

under such trainers, follow the tips listed

below to help you pick the right trainer.

Constant feedback: Before you decide to

join a gym or work with a particular trainer,

set a day aside to watch how he/she

handles their clients. A sign of a good

trainer is one who gives constant feedback

and physically corrects your body posture

as and when necessary.

Personal attention: Unless you can afford

a personal trainer, you have to deal with

the fact that your trainer will have other

clients to attend to while you’re working

out. However, you still need to ensure that

he gives all his clients enough time and

attends to all their queries.

Yelling doesn’t mean anything: Most of us

have a misconception that a trainer who

constantly yells is motivating us to push

our limits. However, that is not true. If

you’re yelled at while working out, you

might get scared or irritated and end up

injuring yourself.

Motivating personality: So, how do you

gauge whether a trainer can motivate you

or not? It will actually depend on your

personality — based on that the trainer

may adopt a certain approach that he

feels will motivate you (strict or lenient).

So, the best way to test this is to talk to

his current clients. Ask them what they

think about him and whether he is good at

motivating someone to work out.

Sound knowledge: A trainer should not

only be fit but also possess a

knowledgeable mind. The easiest way to

ascertain that is to ask him a lot of

questions. It will tell you whether he

actually knows the science of fitness or if

he’s just blindly following the textbook.

3. Gym shoes

Nobody can ever have enough shoes andthat’s even the case with sports shoes. Thevariety and the price ranges are mind-boggling but shoes are one of the mostimportant factors when it comes to workingout. Finding the right pair is a task and if youdo it for them they will never be able to thankyou enough. However, make sure you get thesize and type right and always keep thereceipt handy in case they need to be exchanged.

4. Gym membership

This is a tricky one, but feel free to gift it if therecipient has been on the lookout for a goodgym or is hesitating to take the final step ofenrolling themselves. Sometimes it takesan extra nudge to finally drag your butt tothe gym and it happens only once youhave enrolled. Any gym membershipshould come with (at least) access tothe cardio and weight trainingsections. Gyms have all sorts of add-ons like nutritionist appointmentsand personal trainers. Make sureyou check out all the differentoptions properly and select theone that your friend would bemost likely to use.

5. ipoD shuFFle

iPod Shuffles are cute, colourfuland can be your perfect workoutcompanion. This tiny little must-have doesn’t come with all thefancy features of a regular iPod,but it does what it sets out to do. Itgives you enough, continuousmusic to drown out the unpleasantmix that’s being played at the gym. It

makes for an easy clip-on to the sleeveand doesn’t feel bulky either. To add a

personal touch to this gizmo, load it with acustomised playlist with your friend’sfavourite tracks.

6. yoGa mats

If your friend is not a fan of the treadmill oroutdoor running don’t worry, we’ve got youcovered. You will be surprised to know howparticular people get about their yoga mats.If you had to stare, sit and workout on it for atleast an hour, even you would. So, gift a yogafanatic a new yoga mat and they will be thehappiest. Even if they have one, they’ll bemore than happy to switch it up occasionallywith a new one. You can choose from avariety of colour and material options noweasily available. Having them customisedwith quirky motivational quotes is sure toput a smile on your friend’s face.

HEALTH Instead of giving someone a basket full of calorific treats,show them your love by gifting them a present that will add totheir lifestyle. Tejasvi Desai lists a few gifting options GIFT OF

1. Dumbbells or

Kettlebells

Many of us prefer good home workouts ratherthan heading to a gym. But, good equipmentis the key to getting a home workout right. Apair of sturdy dumbbells or Kettlebells is oftenall you need for a full-body, intense workout.Make sure you know the correct weight topick or your well-meaning gift won’t be worthmore than a paper-weight. When buyingdumbbells, in addition to the weight, look fora comfortable grip and cushioning becausenobody likes cracked tiles at home.

2. WiiFit

If you’ve played tennis or baseball on theNinetendo Wii, you will know that it is veryaddictive and the muscle aches youexperience the next day are very real too. Ifthe person who you are looking to gift is agamer and gadget freak, nothing combinesfitness and fun better than the WiiFit. TheWiiFit has been adopted by health clubs andphysiotherapists and has been shown toimprove your posture making it the idealchoice for low-intensity, home-workout-loving friends.

While pregnancy means sudden

and often outrageous cravings, it

also means maintaining a healthy

and nutritious diet throughout

these nine months. Often,

pregnant women are told that they

have to eat for two and that extra

calories are required during these

months. And very often, expectant

mothers take this statement quite

seriously and go overboard.

Dr. Amrapali Patil, weight

management expert at Trim N

Tone, says, “While some leave it to

time itself, other women take this

period as a time to ‘officially’ eat to

their heart’s content. And then,

there are those who worry about

all that weight that they would be

putting on while pregnant, which

causes them to think as to what

would they do to get rid of all that

excess weight.” The average

pregnant woman needs only about

300 extra, healthy calories a day

than she did before she got

pregnant. Amrapali adds, “How

much weight you should gain

depends on your body mass index

(BMI) before pregnancy and how

many children you’re carrying (in

case of multiple babies). BMI

estimates body fat based on height

and weight.”

The global guidelines

recommend the following figures:

l If your pre-pregnancy weight was

in the healthy range for your height

(a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9), you should

gain anything between 11 to 15kg,

gaining about two kilos in the first

trimester and about 0.45kg per

week for the rest of your pregnancy

for the optimal growth and

development of your baby.

l If you were underweight for your

height at conception (a BMI below

18.5), you should ideally gain 12

to 18kg.

l If you were overweight for your

height (a BMI of 25 to 29.9), you

should gain 6 to 11kg. If you were

obese (a BMI of 30 or higher), you

should gain between 4 to 9kg.

l If you’re having twins, you should

gain at least 16 and up to 24kg if

you started at a healthy weight, at

least 14 and up to 22kg if you

were overweight and at least 11

and up to 19kg if you were obese.

People over the age of 65 years needbetter alcohol advice according to arecent paper published by theuniversities of Newcastle and

Sunderland. The paper addresses thereasons why older people consumeharmful levels of alcohol. The conclusionsand facts are drawn from a recent study thatwas conducted by Fuse, the Centre forTranslational Research in Public Health.

The sTudy The study was conducted on a focus groupcomprising of 53 men and women, agedbetween 65 and 90. The aim of this studywas to understand the reasons why peoplein that age group drink alcohol. The study

that was done through interviews alsoattempted to gauge older citizens’ attitudestowards alcohol.

surprising resulTs The most surprising aspect of the study wasnot the fact that older people drank muchmore than the recommended limit (which is14 units a week for women and 21 for men)— that has already been showed by previousstudies. What was surprising was theirattitude towards drinking. For instance, awoman who was part of the study, said: “Ifsomebody found me drunk in a corner, thatwould probably shock me into stopping butthat has never happened…”

And it’s not a lone case. The paper talks

about how several other people providedreasons that effectively meant that theydon’t see a problem with drinking becausethey did not suffer from any immediateadverse effects that could be linked todrinking. This is a worrying sign and is bestexplained by Dr. Graeme Wilson from theInstitute of Health and Society, NewcastleUniversity, who led the study. He wasquoted saying, “Many older people aredrinking to a level that has a long-termimpact on their health, even if the damageisn’t always immediately apparent.”

BeTTer advice & lower limiTs

The study concludes by saying that not only

does the recommended limit for safedrinking need to be brought down forpeople over 65 years of age, but betteradvice needs to be given as far as theconsumption of alcohol is concerned. The dangers and risks of excessive

consumption of alcohol are hardlysomething we need to tell you about. It isimportant to know that as you age, yourbody starts reacting differently to what youeat and drink. Also, the medication that youmight be taking might not react well withalcohol. Thus, making an informed andknowledgeable choice after consulting yourphysician as far as alcohol is concerned is ofparamount importance if you’re over 65years of age.

dear Barbara,

I bruise like a peach and while there isn’t much

I can do about it, I’m going to be the

bridesmaid at a wedding in a week and my

legs are covered in bruises that I know won’t

subside by then! How do I conceal the black

and blue marks so that I look alright?

— Monisha Fernandes, Mulund

dear Monisha,

The best thing would be to give your bruises

time to heal, but since you say that isn’t an

option, the next best thing you can do is to

cover them up with makeup. Use a concealer if

the bruises are few and far between. Dab the

concealer with translucent powder to keep it

from disappearing too quickly. You can also try

using an air brush spray that is specifically

meant for legs. The leg makeup tool conceals

bruises, veins and skin spots so you’ll look like

you have flawless skin, if only for a few hours.

Also try applying ice to the bruise as that will

prevent it from spreading.

dear Barbara,

Every time I get my upper lip tweezed, waxed

or plucked, I get a slight swelling and a lot of

redness. Earlier, the swelling would go down in

an hour or two, but now it’s started to last

much longer, which means that for at least

half a day I have a red, swollen and very

embarrassing looking upper lip. Sometimes, it

even forms a blister! I apply powder and a

cream after, but it doesn’t help. What can I do?

— Shruti Shah, Goregaon

dear Shruti,

Don’t worry as this happens to several people

because the skin of your upper lip is a lot more

sensitive than the rest of your body. Your pores

are open and probably swelling, which can

sometimes cause blisters or even pimples if dirt

gets in. After you get your upper lip done,

immediately put a cold compress on the area

for a few minutes. This should reduce the size

of your pores and minimise redness. Apply

cream and leave your face makeup free (this

includes foundation) for a few hours. If the

inflammation is still present, try using an anti-

inflammatory cream.

The Rajya Sabha and the LokSabha witnessed threeadjournments on the issue

NewDelhi:VHP’s controversialAyodhya yatra rocked Parlia-ment on Monday with both

Houses being disrupted repeatedlydue to clashes between SamajwadiParty and BJP as demands weremade for dismissal of the UttarPradesh government.Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam

Singh launched a scathing attack onBJP, saying it was resorting to hooli-ganism by disregarding the Consti-tution and court orders.Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha wit-

nessed three adjournments each onthe issue in the pre-lunch session.Raising the issue in the Lok

Sabha, Samajwadi Party chief Mu-layam Singh Yadav alleged that BJP

is resorting to hooliganism and hadattacked the party’s office in Delhifollowing crackdown by theUP gov-ernment on VHP’s yatra. “We knowhow to stop hooliganism. We havestopped it in the past,” he said, ac-cusing BJP of engineering riots.Charging BJPwith violating court

orders and disregarding the Consti-tution,Yadav said they are resortingto anti-national activities. “Sincethey have no support left they arelooking for excuses. There is no votebank left with them so they wantriots. They should stop vote bankpolitics. People are not supportingthem. Saints have also condemnedthem,” he said.This was strongly countered by

BJP’s Yogi Adityanath who insistedthat the LucknowBench of the Alla-habad High Court has declared thedisputed place as the birthplace ofLord Ram and the saints have beendemanding a law for the purpose.Adityanath accused the SP gov-

ernment of “humiliating the saintsand insulting the Hindus” and de-manded it should be immediatelydismissed.He claimed that SP rule has seen

as many as 30 riots, in which theHindus have suffered.He said the UP government was

allotting land in the name of ceme-teries.Meanwhile, the Lok Sabha today

Ayodhya yatra rocks Parliament

UNITED WE STAND: Suspended Telugu Desam Party MPs protesting at ParliamentHouse in New Delhi on Monday during ongoing monsoon session.

New Delhi: The SupremeCourt today dismissed a

plea for initiating contemptproceedings against the UPgovernment and its ChiefMinister for suspending IASofficer Durga Sakthi Nagpal,who had cracked down onthe sand mafia in GautamBudh Nagar.The petition filed by an ad-

vocate had contended thatthe officer had only compliedwith the orders of this courtin demolishing the illegalstructure and the decision ofstate government to suspendher amounts to contempt.However, a bench compris-

ing justices H L Dattu and S JMukhopadhaya said nothingis there to show that there iswilful and deliberate con-tempt by any of the allegedcontemnors (state authori-ties).“How does the action of

state government amounts tocontempt,” the bench askedand noted that the authori-ties by themselves have nottaken any decision relating tothe apex court’s orders onpreventing unauthorisedconstruction of religiousbuildings on public land.Thebench also said that the con-tempt petition has been filedtoo early when the state gov-

ernment has not taken finaldecision on the charge sheetissued to her.The bench said the stage of

contempt would only ariseafter the officer files responseto the charge sheet and thestate government takes afinal decision.The petition, filed by advo-

cate M.L. Sharma, had alsonamed Chief Secretary JavedUsmani, working Chief Secre-tary Aalok Ranjan and theCentre as respondents.The petition had con-

tended that action against28-year-old Nagpal was incontempt of the apex courtorder on preventing unau-thorised construction of reli-gious structures on publicland. “Following the SupremeCourt direction is not an of-fence that has been per-formed by the officerconcerned,” he had said.

Sushil Finance calls a ‘Buy’ on PTCCMP: Rs. 43 Target Rs. 60Key Highlights of Q1FY14 results:

Revenues grew by ~39% YoY to Rs.27.7 bn majorly on back of robust vol-ume growth which grew by ~28% YoY to ~8.4 bn units. Volumes grew acrosssegments with long-term, short-term & cross-border witnessing a growth of27%, 24% & 51% respectively. Management expects volumes to grow at aCAGR of ~15% over the next 2 years. Increasing volumes offset by lowertolling margins due to changes in tolling arrangements has led to lower op-erating profit growth of ~7% YoY to Rs.340mn while margins declined by 40bps to 1.2%. Trading margins remained under pressure wherein the averagemargin in Q1FY14 stood at Rs.0.038unit(FY13–Rs.0.039/unit).

Outlook & Valuation: PTC India has reported decent set of numbers for thequarter ended June’13 with Revenue & PAT growth of 39 percent & 17 per-cent respectively. Better volume growth coupled with strong pipeline of long-term PPA’s provides volume growth visibility going ahead. Increasinggovernment initiatives to revive power segment coupled with gradual repay-ment of dues from TNEB & UPPCL has further mitigated the concerns overrecovery of outstanding dues. However, management’s decision of revisingtolling arrangement in our view is very positive for Company in long run whileit would provide short-term pain by way of decline in profitability on back ofrelatively lower margins. Hence, considering the sound business model &long-term growth prospects, we maintain our positive view on the stock &recommend ‘BUY’ with a revised price target of Rs 60 based on the SOTPmethodology

Espirito Santo calls a ‘Buy’ on Sesa SterliteCMP: Rs. 167 Target Rs. 180The uncertainty over GOI’s much delayed minority stake sale in HZL is finallynearing a conclusion. As per media reports, the Attorney General (AG) hasopined the stake sale process can go ahead. Our interactions with Ministryofficials indicate a final approval from the cabinet committee would pave theway for the transaction to go through. We upgrade Sesa Sterlite to BUY (fromNeutral) with a new FV of Rs180, factoring in a successful HZL and Balcostake buyout. Whilst details of the stake sale process/pricing aren’t avail-able as of yet, we think Vedanta’s last offered price offers comfort and up-side even from current levels.

Upgrade to BUY with FV of Rs180: We upgrade Sesa Sterlite to BUY with aFV of Rs180 to reflect the rollover to FY15 and expected HZL/Balco stakebuyout by then. We think further PILs can’t be ruled out on amendment of theMetals Corporation Act, we think rolling over FV to FY15 leaves enough roomin the interim to do away with legal hurdles. In the event that the stake saledid not go through, our FV for Sesa Sterlite could fall back to Rs159/share.

BUSINESS BRIEFS

Credit Quality Of Indian Oil Companies Could WeakenThe credit quality of state-owned oil marketing and upstream oil companiesin India will likely weaken for the rest of fiscal year 2014 if the governmentcontinues to ask them to take on a higher burden of the country’s fuelsubsidies. Nonetheless, we continue to expect that the government will fullyreimburse marketing companies by the end of fiscal 2014 and reduce theburden on upstream companies, says Moody’s Research in its latest creditoutlook report.

New Companies Bill To Make Doing Business EasierThe new Companies Bill has certain provisions like faster registration throughfully electronic MCA-21 and allowing firms to hold meetings through e-governance mode, that would “facilitate ease of doing business in India”, theParliament was informed yesterday.

Banking Ombudsman Says Number Of Complaints FallThe number of complaints received by the Office of the Banking Ombudsmanfor the West Bengal and Sikkim region has come down to 4,388 during 2012-13 from 4,838 in the previous year. Banking Ombudsman S Chattopadhyaysaid the decrease in the number of complaints had been mainly due to activeintervention of the OBO with the banking sector personnel, urging them tocomply with the regulations laid down under Banking Codes and StandardsBoard of India (BCSBI).

Oil Cos Demand One-Time Hike In Diesel PriceWith 12% drop in rupee value against the US dollar making imports costlier,state-owned oil firms have demanded a one-time steep increase in dieselrates to make for the widening losses. Losses on sale of diesel at governmentcontrolled rates, had dropped to under Rs 3 per litre in May following monthlyincreases of up to 50 paise a litre. But with the rupee depreciating againstthe US dollar, the losses have widened to Rs 10.22 per litre.

NTC’s 15 Mills Make Profits In 2012-13Of the total 23 working units of National Textiles Corporation (NTC), 15 havegenerated cash profits in 2012-13, Parliament was informed yesterday. “Outof 23 working units, 15 units (of NTC) have generated cash profits during2012-13,” Minister of State for Textiles Panabaaka Lakshmi said in a writtenreply to the Lok Sabha.

Indian stock exchange system compared to others

There are various parameters on which exchange system are measured. Retail investors want safety of trading, clearing and settlement systems along with safety of advice and strength of corporate governance. Internationally, people measure exchanges on many such parameters. However, in India the tradition is to look at volumes, which may have some relevance for traders but not retail investors. In the last 18 years, our exchanges have achieved total automation and now offer a reasonably good response times, one of the best in the world. Clearing corporations have been set up to act as settlement guarantors (so that in case a brokers defaults others don't suffer). There is real-time risk management system. These make India's markets strong in terms of processing regulations as well as the IPO framework. For instance, it used to take 30-50 days to list companies. Now, it takes 7-8 days. India's stock markets are also a lot safer than earlier.

India’s Rupees 1.30 lakh croreselectrical equipment industryhas, after four consecutive quar-

ters of negative growth, shown a 2%growth in the first quarter of thecurrent fiscal (April-June, 2013-14), according to production datareleased today by the Indian Elec-trical and Electronics Manufactur-ers’ Association (IEEMA).Theminiscule growth of 2% is at-

tributed largely to increase in ex-ports of electrical equipment fromIndia in the first quarter of the cur-rent fiscal (Q1 FY’14), despite thegrowth in domestic orders continu-ing to be negative as compared tothe corresponding period of 2012-13 (Q1 FY’13). The sluggish growthin the country’s power sector anddelays in project execution, and theprecarious financial situation of theState power distribution companiescontinues to severely hit the do-mestic electrical equipment manu-facturers.The industry has been staying

somewhat afloat on account of on-going transmission and sub-stationprojects, power generating stationsespecially of renewable energy like

wind, and R-APDRP projects. De-spite this, the top and bottom linesof most manufacturers are underpressure and showing continueddeclining trends.Over and above this, electrical

equipment industry continues toface very severe credit availability,enormous delays and non-adher-ence of payment terms by cus-tomers, mainly power utilities,resulting in unmanageable cashflow problems across the sector.Further, the depreciating rupee has

made critical imported raw materialand inputs for electric equipmentmore costly, but given the continuedthreat from imports of electricalequipment in the Indian market, do-mestic manufacturers are beingforced to absorb this additional costto remain competitive.While the rotating machines and

transformers sectors have seen anegative growth in production of4.5% in Q1, the switchgear sectorhas witnessed a negative growth of6.7% in its production. Capacitorsand energy meters have seen a ro-bust growth of 20.8% and 14.6% inQ1 FY’14, followed by 8.6% and 4.9%growth by the transmission linesand cables sectors respectively.

Although, overall imports haveshown some decline during Q1FY’14 as compared to Q1 FY’13, im-ports of power transformers, insula-tors (mainly through power projectimports route) and AC motors andgenerators have continued to in-crease and are capturing a larger andlarger share of the domestic marketfor these products even as domesticdemand remains depressed.Exports growth is visible in devel-

oped countries like USA, Germany,UK, Australia and Canada, apartfrom UAE, Saudi Arab, Nigeria andKenya. This clearly shows the in-creasing greater acceptability of‘Made in India’ products with de-sired quality and competitive costin both developed and developingcountries.“After intensive consultations

with all stakeholders, the Govern-ment of India launched the IndianElectrical Equipment Industry Mis-sion Plan 2012-2022 lastmonth andwe now look forward to the imple-mentation of the policy and strate-gic interventions outlined in theMission Plan to put back our indus-try on a high growth trajectory”said Mr. J. G. Kulkarni, PresidentIEEMA.

The country’s infrastructure sec-tor is grappling with severe

skilledmanpower shortage, leadingto project delays and cost overruns,industry body Assocham said yes-terday. “India is currently facing anannual paucity of over 10 lakh proj-ect management professionals.Moreover, employability is also akey factor in this regard as most ofthe already employedworkers in in-frastructure space have not receivedany vocational training,” an As-socham survey report said.The report titled ‘Road Sector Role

in Futuristic Development of India,’suggests that the nation should en-hance the quality of education andtraining as per the demands of theinfrastructure sector to make up forthe shortfall of skilled project man-agement professionals.Besides, there is also a need to im-

prove the efficiency of various de-partments, divisions and trainingcentres and especially the quality oftraining services in order to meet in-dustry standards, it said. “Many large-sizes infra projects like megahighways and others involving greaterinterdependence and increased regu-latory compliance requirements are

in limbo as they require professionalspossessing project managementskills,” AssochamSecretary General DS Rawat said.Most of the projectmanagers in the

infra sector lack requisite managerialskills, while the highly qualified onesare shifting to sectors like informationtechnology (IT), finance and others,the report said. Over 550 infra proj-ects across India are facing huge es-calation in project cost to the tuneof Rs2 lakh crore due to factors likeland acquisition, environmentalrules, regulatory approvals andshortage of skilledmanpower in thesector, the report added.

Vivek Sonar, who runs abansuri gurukul in Thane,originally belongs to Chalis-

gaon in northMaharashtra. A highlytalented flautist, he first took his les-sons from a local teacher Purushot-tamAntapurkar who taught him thebasics. Vivek later graduated fromthe bansuri wizard HariprasadChaurasia who has showered loveand affection on him. Sonar now ac-companies Chaurasia in his con-certs. He even tours foreigncountries with hismentor and lendshim a steady and reliable supporton the bansuri.Vivek Sonar has scores of disci-

ples. In the month of January everyyear, he gathers all such studentsandmakes themplay in unison. It iscalled 'flute symphony'. Over 100flautists play at one time and thespectacle is as breathtaking as theaudio is enjoyable.Last Sunday, his pupils had as-

sembled at the SahayogMandirHallin Thane for Guru Poornima cele-bration. They hail from remoteplaces inMaharashtra. They playedraga-based numbers as well ascompositions in ragas ranging fromthe pre dawn ‘Lalit’ to the midnightmelody ‘Chandrakauns’. It was a

wonderful experience. Vivek Sonarhimself played the raga ‘ShudhSarang’ which uses both shades ofthe note ‘Madhyam’. Sonar dis-played his mastery of the instru-ment in a quiet and unobtrusivemanner. Kalinath Mishra on thetabla was his usual excellent self.Swaramayee Gurukool, founded

by the Prabha Atre Foundation, hadorganised a lecture demonstrationon the Gwalior tradition and gayakilast weekend. The Gwalior gharanaowes its origin to the dhrupaddhamar gayakiwhich rose to a peakof popularity during Raj MansinghTomar's time. Themusical style hasincorporated the solidity of dhru-

pad alaaps and raga structures intoits khyal gayaki. Sadarang andAdarang had been players in thecourt of the Mughal Emperor Mo-hammedshah Rangile and devel-oped this unique khyal form. As theDelhi Darbar lost its prominence inthe 19th century, the musiciansshifted to Lucknow and Gwalior.TheGwalior khyal blended the raga,the theka of the tabla and lyrics ofthe composition in a seamlesswhole. It was perfected by HassuKhan, Haddu Khan and NathuKhan.The demonstrator also sang soul

stirring compositions in ‘Poorvi’and ‘Yaman’ to prove his point.

MUMBAI | TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 2013 25BRIEF

ByVijay Shanker

As a mark of tribute to the cele-brated master choreographer,late Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra,the Kaishiki Dance Academy pre-sented a uniqueOdissi programme,featuring the talented danseusePrateesha Mohaptra and the dancedrama ‘Saggy Baggy Elephant’ at theManik Sabhagriha in Bandra. Be-sides the elegant performance byPrateesha, the children were de-lighted towatch the dance drama inthe Odissi style.Teenager PrateeshaMohapatra is

the daughter and disciple of GuruRatikant Mohapatra, son ofKelubabu, and hence it was befit-ting tribute to the great maestrowho placed Odissi on the interna-tional map. After the invocation,Prateesha performed theHamshad-hwani Pallavi that exposed the typ-ical and characteristic movementsof the Odissi styles, whilemaintain-ing the torso deflections and pro-jecting the ‘tribhangis’ in thenumber that formed a fine synthe-sis of bothmusic andmelody, com-posed by the veteran PanditBubaneshwar Mishra. Prateesha

performed ‘Jai Mahesh’ that de-picted the grandeur and the glory ofLord Nataraja, also known as Ma-heshwara. The teenager dancedwith poise and elegance, revealingfine command over the techniqueof Odissi style, and can really scalegreat heights as a Odissi dancer.Disciples of Guru Daksha

Mashruwala performed the dance-drama ‘Saggy Baggy Elephant’which was noteworthy for its por-trayal of nature, birds and animalslike the elephant and the deer. Cho-reographed by Ratikant, it was in-

teresting to watch as to how thedancers enacted the varied animalsin the typical ‘angika abhinaya’ per-taining to the gait and the nature ofevery animal. This production por-trays the story of the elephant whofeels clumsy, isolated and lonely butone fine day realises his attributeswhen he meets other elephants.The choreographywas quite sim-

ple but attracted the attention of theaudience, particularly children, es-pecially the typical characteristicsof the animals for which the creditgoes to all the dancers and thewon-derful choreography by RatikantMohapatra. While most animalswere portrayed, onewaswonderingas to why the most naughty animal- monkey was avoided. Nature andenvironment plays an integral partof classical dance but rarely doesone witness a programme whereinnature is explored and depicted in adance format. It was a unique andinteresting programme that tookclassical dance closer to the audi-ence, a fine tribute indeed.

worthywithAtulKulkarni leading theway along with Amey Wagh, Sid-dharthMenon (a specialmention forhim) and Ketan Pawar. Anita Dateputs in a peppy performance.

England players celebrate by urinating on Oval pitch

LONDON: In a distastefulpostscript to their Ashes tri-umph, some of the England

players celebrated by urinating onthe pitch at the Oval here.After the dressing room party, in-

cluding uncorking the bubbly, theplayers moved to the centre of theground and urinated on the pitch,which is considered to be sacro-sanct for cricketers. Stuart Broad,Kevin Pietersen and James Ander-

son were the players involved inthe shameful act. According tomedia reports, about five hoursafter the last Test was stopped dueto bad light with England close tovictory, the players gathered nearthe pitch and took turns to relievethemselves on the 22-yard-strip.While the centre of the ground wasquite dark, lights were on in thegrandstands with people stillcleaning up after a late finish,

which saw the game go beyondusual time. The incident has forsure taken some sheen away fromEngland's 3-0 win over arch-rivalsAustralia who failed to rise to the

occasion. Curator Cam Sutherlandsaid that it was not a "good look"and called it unfortunate. The finalTest match of the series ended in adramatic draw on late Sunday afterumpires took the players off forbad light, with England needing 21to win in four overs.There was controversy sur-

rounding the ending and the um-pires, Aleem Dar and KumarDharmasena, and Australian skip-per Michael Clarke were booed bythe home crowd. However, the re-sult did not seem to dampen Eng-lish euphoria as the playerscelebrated in the most unusualmanner. Whether it joy of winningor showing frustration at people,England players have resorted tothis ugly manner even in recentpast. England discard MontyPanesar after an argument with

bouncers in a pub rushed to theroof and decided to relieve himselfon them. He was subsequentlyfined and issued an apologythrough his spokesperson.

LEAKING ASSASSINS

CLICKING TO PERFECTION: England's Kevin Pietersen, centre takes a photo ofthe Ashes Urn during the presentation ceremony after the end of the fifth day of thefifth Ashes cricket Test at the Oval cricket ground in London, on Sunday. (INSET)England wicketkeeper Matt Prior tweeted this photograph of England players drinkingbeer at the Oval on Sunday night after which a controversy erupted over allegationsthat three England players had urinated on the pitch following the Ashes win.

SYDNEY: Skipper Michael Clarketold umpire Aleem Dar not to

touch him as the fifth and finalAshes Test ended in an acrimo-nious draw, Australian media re-vealed. Clarke's exchange with theumpires hit the headlines after badlight ended England's dramaticlate bid to run down the target setby the tourists' bold second in-nings declaration which injectedlife into the encounter at The Ovalin London.England, set 227 to win in 44

overs, needed just 21 off 24 ballswith five wickets left when the um-pires decided the light, even withthe floodlights on, was too darkand ended the match with Eng-land taking the series 3-0."Michael Clarke asked umpire

Aleem Dar to take his hands offhim as the final Test ended amidcontroversy and confusion afterone of the most extraordinary daysin the history of Ashes cricket," TheAustralian's Wayne Smith said.The daily quoted Clarke as say-

ing: "I can't remember what I said.I remember Aleem touching meand I asked him politely to nottouch me because if I touched himI'd be suspended for three

matches." Dar had reached outwith his left hand to push the Aus-tralian captain away. Clarke laterrevealed at the post-match pre-sentations that the lux (light) read-ing was 5.7, "no comparison", ashe put it, to the brighter 8.1 levelthat had prompted the umpires tocall play off in Manchester whenAustralia had been in control ofthe Third Test."Once they took the reading, I

knew it was going to be darkerthan what it was in Manchester. Iwas batting at the time in Man-chester and I knew it was going tobe darker," Clarke said.The Aus-tralian newspaper said the way theEnglish crowd jeered Clarke was"nothing short of disgraceful"given that their own side hadplayed "nothing but negativecricket at every stage of thematch". The Daily Telegraph'sMalcolm Conn said that umpireshad to take a "more pragmaticview" of bad light rulings in future."The light that the last hour of thegame was played in highlights howfarcical it was to come off for badlight earlier in the tour, showingthat the umpires must take a morepragmatic view," Conn said.

Kumar Dharmasena and Aleem Dar try to appease an agitated Michael Clarkeduring the final Test match.

Ipoh (Malaysia): P R Sreejeshproduced a brilliant displayunder the bar as two-time

champions India stunned titleholders South Korea 2-0 in a Pool

B match to breeze into the semifi-nals of the Asia Cup hockey tour-nament, here today.India’s arch-rivals Pakistan have

already made it to the last fourstage from Pool A after beatinghosts Malaysia 4-1.The Indians put up an inspired

performance and scored a goal ineach half through V R Raghunath(6th minute) and Mandeep Singh(65th) to pick up their second winin the eight-nation event.India, who need to win the tour-

nament to qualify for next year’sWorld Cup at The Hague, Nether-lands, had thumped minnowsOman 8-0 in their tournamentopener.

The Indians started brightly anddominated the early exchanges. Inthe first half India played posses-sion hockey and utilised both theflanks to build up their attacks.The Indians need to thank their

goalkeeper Sreejesh as he made asmany as six-seven clear saves tokeep a clean slate for his team. Healso earned the man-of-the-matchaward.The Indians stunned Korea early

in the match taking the leadthrough Raghunath. The well builtdefender converted India’s firstpenalty corner with a powerful lowdragflick to the right corner of theKorean goal past, beating goal-keeper Lee Myung Ho.

But thereafter, the Indiansshould consider themselves luckynot to have conceded a goal asKorea put the Indian defenceunder continuous pressure withrepeated raids.The Koreans earned as many

five penalty corners in the openinghalf but failed to convert a singleone. While an onrushing GurmailSingh blocked the Nam HyunWoo’s flick, an outstretched Sree-jesh made one of his few brilliantsaves from Korea’s second shortcorner a few minutes later.Five minutes from the break,

India had a golden chance to dou-ble their lead but an unmarkedMalak Singh shot wide from close

range. Towards the end of theopening half, the Indians unnec-essarily invited pressure, conced-ing three more penalty corners.But a brilliant Sreejesh under

the goal once again came to India’srescue to deny the Koreans.After the change of ends, the Ko-

reans continued in the same veinand consistently put the Indiandefence under pressure.But Sreejesh stood like rock be-

tween Korea and goal as he madean acrobatic save in the 51stminute to deny Kang MoonKweon.If not for Sreejesh’s efforts, India

could have very well lost thematch. The lanky custodian de-nied the Koreans on two to threeoccasions in the final 10 minutesto keep India afloat.Towards the end, it was India’s

turn to exert some pressure on theKorean defence and came veryclose to doubling their lead, but anunmarked Malak shot wide withonly the onrushing Korean goal-keeper Lee to beat.But young Mandeep took the

game away from Korea scoringIndia’s second goal —- his fourthof the tournament – just five min-utes from the hooter.Mandeep slotted home with a

powerful shot from top of the cir-cle after snatching the ball from aKorean defender, who was unableto control Chinglensana Singh’scross. India will play Bangladesh intheir last pool match on Wednes-day while Korea will be up againstOman.

blow a minute before half-timewith a left-footed effort thatMalaga goalkeeper Willy Caballerowill have been disappointed to seeslip through his grasp. However,Malaga were left to rue two hugechances after the break as firstlyFabrice struck the post and thenSebastian Fernandez headedstraight at Victor Valdes whencompletely unmarked inside thearea in the closing stages.And Cesc Fabregas admitted

that going forward the Catalanswill need to improve on their per-formance in the second period."The first-half was very good andwe could have scored more," hetold Canal Plus. "In the second it istrue that we lost a bit of our inten-sity due to tiredness from thegame on Wednesday. In the lastfive minutes we struggled butsometimes you have to do that. Itwas a hard-fought and importantvictory." Despite Messi's absence,Barca boss Gerardo Martino onceagain started with Neymar on thebench as Fabregas replaced the Ar-gentine, whilst Alex Song and Adri-ano replaced Sergio Busquets andDani Alves from the side thatstarted Wednesday's 1-1 draw withAtletico Madrid in the first-leg of

the Spanish Super Cup.Without either of their South

American attacking stars, Barca'sbuild-up play was somewhat pon-derous in the first period as theyfailed to break down a solid butlimited Malaga side. Andres Iniesta

then fired an effort from the edgeof the area straight down Ca-ballero's throat, but the Argentinewas forced into a stunning savenine minutes before the break ashe blocked Alexis Sanchez'sheader from point-blank range.

However, Caballero was slightlyat fault when Barca did eventuallytake the lead as Adriano cut insideonto his left foot and his curling ef-fort flew over the Malaga keeper'soutstretched arm on its way intothe far corner.
