ples aspirations.
In a motivational speech to
around 161 members of the
Lok Sabha and 18 of the Rajya
Sabha at Surajkund, Haryana,
Modi said they have a long way
to go as a member of the treasury side and should not get
disillusioned by small issues as
there is no full stop in politics.
His address to the new
MPs was the latest in the series
of Modi-speak. He had earlier outlined the dos and donts
to his Council of Ministers,
Union Secretaries, party general secretaries and workers
ever since his party won a clear
mandate on May 16 and he
took over the reins of
Government on May 26.

ptimus Prime is back but only
as a pale shadow of his former
self, ailing, unable to stand and
disguised as a weatherbeaten truck at a
remote Mexican junkyard, fished out
by a man who lives in a mortgaged
cottage in Texas and calls his barn the
junk innovation centre.
However, the junkyard was a safe
haven from where this prime autobot
had hidden himself for four years as
some unscrupulous elements in the
human world had started hunting
them down for extinction.
As these friendly sentinels are
being systematically chased, trapped
and destroyed by a scientist and his
goons wanting to finish any alien trace

After making a dhamekedaar entry with Zubeida, Singh has been in the thick of things,
signing up for films like Jail, Tere Bin Laden and Khiladi 786, and having worked on TV
shows like 24 and Sapno Ke Bhanwar Mein. But the learner in him is never satisfied and
pushes him to give his best. Singhs upcoming films have a refreshing storyline and he plays
varied characters. The suave actor chats with SANGEETA YADAV
I can
never stop
learning
Q You started off as an actor in
Shyam Benegals Zubeida in 2001 and
then Khiladi 786 happened with
Akshay Kumar. How has the journey
been?
Its been great. I owe my success to
veteran director Shyam Benegal who is
a brilliant tutor. Even now, he has a lot
to share. I am also in awe of Madhur
Bhandarkar who believed in me for
playing such an important role in Jail.
Till now, that has been one of my finest
performances. But it was Khiladi 786s
director Ashish R Mohan and co-actor
Akshay Kumar who helped me carve out
a place for myself in this industry.

auji... aeeye aeeye... apna ashirwad toh
dete jaiye... said comedienne Rajesh
Kumar as he coaxed Alok Nath to step
up on the stage and deliver a few ashirwads
(read lines). In his usual benevolent manner,
bauji opened his own special box of
sanskaars ditties and blessings.
No, Alok Nath isnt promoting his latest
spoof or film, he isnt even playing the lead
of yet another sanskaari show on the soap
dish. But Bauji is a part of a sitcom! You
heard that right, Alok Nath is very soon
going to grace the small screen as the head
of this funny and mad family on SAB TV.
And its not just him who is at the butt of
this joke. Bauji has the versatile Supriya
Pathak (who plays an obsessed mausi) and
Apara Mehta (who is a saas figure) among
other renowned TV actors.
Sounds different? The concept of
stand-up comedy on TV is pathbreaking
and never tried before. The USP are the sets
that have been divided into four parts on a
single stage like cubical boxes. Though there
will be a live audience, there are no judges.
The show has no vulgar or toilet humour,
its a light hearted entertainment show that
one can watch with everybody, Anooj
Kapoor, senior EVP and business head, SAB
TV says. He tells you that its the presentation
that makes Agal Bagal..., unique.
Each episode will have at least three-four
actors tackling a comic take on the day-today problems that people face. With a live
audience to cheer up the actors, this hatke
comedy promises to tickle the funny bone
like none else. Weve kept things very subtle
and basic and played around with the
character names like Khandavi, Khakara,
Laal, Pillu etc. Every episode will be based
around issues that concern aam aadmi. Its
not going to be a
satire, but a
comic take on
the situation,
Ranjit Thakur,
the producer of
TMABH tells you,
adding that this is
how
American
sitcoms are shot.
Stand-up comedy on
TV presented in a
sidcom format has never
been done before in
Hindi GEC space. Like
always we wanted to
start a trend, Thakur
says.
Most of the actors in
this show have already
tried their hands with
comedy and have

deep-rooted
nexus
between the municipal
A
corporations in Delhi and
local police is primarily to be
blamed for rampant illegal
constructions even as the
tedious process to get the
building plans sanctioned
compels one to opt for illegal
means. All measures of the
municipal corporations to
curb illegal construction have
failed to bear fruit in the last
one decade. The monitoring
committee formed by the erstwhile MCD, the panel of structural safety engineers and even
the recent orders of the
Lieutenant Governor Najeeb
Jung to remove illegal constructions have failed to curb
the menace even as one after
another collapses have claimed
dozens of lives.
The situation is too grave
in the Old Delhi, which is
densely populated with narrow bylanes and bustling with
a host of commercial activities. The recent incident of
building collapse in Bara
Hindu Rao, Sadar Bazar and
the latest in Inderlok on
Saturday is a testimony to this.
Taking a strong view of the
same, Lieutenant Governor
Najeeb Jung had directed the
North Delhi Municipal
Corporation (NMC) to act
against illegal construction
and restore the heritage of the
Walled City. Officials said the
civic body has found rampant
unauthorised constructions
in areas like Kucha Ghasi
Ram, Kucha Mir Ashique,
Kaudia Pul and Kinari Bazar
of the Walled City.
However, sources in the
NDMC said the illegal constructions are rampant essentially because of the hassles
involved in getting the building plans sanctioned. Because
of the unnecessary delays by
the local body in sanctioning
of building plans, people tend
to raise illegal constructions.
The structural safety aspect is
often compromises in the

New Delhi: Following the Saturday morning building collapse incident, the North Delhi Municipal
Corporation (NMC) suspended the assistant engineer and junior engineer of the area and ordered
an inquiry into the building collapse. The Commissioner has ordered an inquiry into the
incident under Additional Commissioner (Engineering) of the corporation and errant civic
officials in this connection will not be spared, if found guilty of any irregularity, NMC
spokesperson Yogendra Singh Mann said. An NMC team is working at the spot to remove the
debris. Mann sought to rule out presumption that it was an illegal construction saying the
structure was not raised but only the foundation digging in the neighbouring plot was going
on. A notice was also sent to the neighbouring plot to stop construction earlier, but by
continuing to dig, they have violated the order and hence due action will be taken against that
party, if found guilty post the municipal inquiry, he said.

Commissioner of Police
(Central) Sandeep Goel.
During investigation,
police examined footage of
CCTV cameras installed in the
area and found two men on a
motorcycle who had reached
the spot wearing shirts but
were seen leaving the place in
T-shirts. From the phone
records of Bajaj, police zeroed
in on one Pinky, another
alleged call girl, who had been
in constant touch with Bajaj on
her mobile phone. Pinky
denied her role in the crime
but sounded out the cops on
the accused wanting her to be
a partner-in-crime. But, she
had a change of heart. Or
maybe she got cold feet.
Interrogation of the accused
revealed that Pooja and Moni
used to visit Bajajs home for the
past year-and-a-half. Since the
two women were aware of
Bajajs sound financial health
and that he kept his cash at
home, they hatched a plan with
Poojas husband Sahil to rob
Bajaj; Sunny too was roped in.
Police sources also reveal Tarun
Bajaj was stabbed during
sexual intercourse.

Officials said the city
jungle will have a heavy tree
cover as well as walking paths
and benches. The 100-acre city
lake will also be cultivated as a
travel destination.
Ghaziabads infrastructure is already creaking under
the sheer numbers of migrants
given how this city is connected to three national highways.
The Hindon riverbed will
hence, be developed into a
100-acre forest with over
50,000 trees some with
medicinal value planted over
5-acre at a cost of C15 crore
and will serve as the lungs of
the city already gasping for air,
said Santosh Yadav, vicechairman, GDA, adding,
Composted cow manure will
be used and will add generous
amounts of organic matter to
the soil. Murram (red sand)
roads would be built. A
deer park too will be created
for children.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has already
been inked with Delhi Metro
Rail Corporation (DMRC).
Earlier GDA had developed
Kanha Upvan, cattle ground of
the city municipal corporation.

As per the original transcript
released by the channel, Digvijay
was quoted as saying, By temperament, woh sattadhaari vyakti nahin hain. By temperament,
woh aisa vyakti hai jo anyay ke
khilaph ladna chaahta hai (He is
not a ruler by temperament. By
temperament he is a person, who
wants to fight injustice).
Responding to a query about
his statement being perceived as
raising question on Rahuls leadership quality, he said, No no.
It is that every one doesnt hanker after power. Even Sonia
Gandhi, she never took the
prime ministership, that is the
difference between the family
and others. He (Rahul) is leading the party. Singh, who is the
AICC General Secretary incharge of Goa, was camping in
the State to interact with local
leaders. He also suggested that
Rahul should have taken over the
reins as the Opposition leader in
the Lok Sabha after the partys
huge loss in the recent Lok
Sabha elections.
In a democracy, the
Opposition space is necessary.

M Venkaiah Naidu,
Finance and Defence Minister
Arun Jaitley and External
Affairs Minister Sushma
Swaraj. Party patriarch LK
Advani would deliver the concluding address to the debutant MPs on Sunday.
The BJP is the only party
which has organised such a
training camp for its MPs. The
first one was also held in
Haryana during the NDA rule
with Atal Bihari Vajpayee as
Prime Minister.
Modi was particular in
asking the newly-elected party
MPs to focus on their conduct
both in Parliament and in
public as people were observing them. He directed them to
nurture their constituencies
and spread the message of
good governance.
Apparently the LTC scam
involving MPs in mind, the
MPs were asked not to engage
in undesirable practices,
which might be furnishing
fake bills or allowing unauthorised train travel in their
names or influencing transfers
land.
While asking the MPs to
study parliamentary rules or
their subjects in depth, Modi
seemed to have instantly connected with the rookie lawmakers when he hastened to
add that he was also learning as a first-time MP.
Taking a dig at those ridiculing such training camps for
MPs, Modi said, Lack of
training in political establishment is a serious lacunae.
But unfortunately, many outside politics take efforts for
human resource development
very lightly and sometimes
even try to ridicule such
efforts.
Urging MPs to eschew all
kinds of negativism, Modi
said that their approach to the
party has to be that of mutuality and fellow-feeling. We
are a family and all are working for a common goal. Try to
make new friends, learn from
each other and develop a new
collectivism, he said.
Attacking the Congress,
the Prime Minister asked the
party MPs to highlight the fact

New Delhi: The suited and
booted officials of the Ministry
of External Affairs had a different job at hand on Saturday
weeding out old files and
papers and removing unusable
and obsolete furniture.
Officials offered Shramdhan to make their office clean and
tidy to meet the expectations of
Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Cabinet Secretary Ajit Seth had
recently written to secretaries of
Central Government departments pressing the need for
clean working spaces.
Seth had written to all secretaries following a directive
from the Prime Minister, an
official said. All official papers
that had outlived their utility
and are not needed for future
reference were weeded out,
shredded, rolled up in plastic
bags and sent for destruction.
Special teams and trucks
were organised for collection

Narasimha Rao was a distinguished legend in the public life
of our county for several
decades. One of the most
notable of his contributions
being the economic reforms
(he introduced) in early 1990s
as the Prime Minister, Naidu
said as he recalled the life and
contributions of the late leader.
He (Rao) was the first
Congress Prime Minister of the
country from outside Nehru
family to have completed five
years in office, a statement
quoted Naidu as saying.
Describing the former
Prime Minister as an erudite
scholar and embodiment of
vision, Naidu further said he
had made path-breaking contributions as Minister and
Chief Minister of the erstwhile
Andhra Pradesh (and also) as
Union Minister and Prime
Minister during his long stint
in public life.
announced on the occasion that
a memorial building, that would
house the memorabilia of the
late PM, would be constructed
in Hyderabad.

Congress was indulging in
appeasement of minorities,
which helped BJP polarize the
votes on communal lines.
Another party functionary,
however, said Antony's remarks
should be seen in the limited
context of Kerala where
Congress' alliance with Indian
Union of Muslim League
accentuated such a perception.
Addressing a meeting held
at the KPCC headquarters in
Thiruvananthapuram in honour of late Congress stalwart C
K Govindan Nair on Friday,
Antony had said some sections
of society have an impression
that the party is inclined to certain communities or organisations. Congress' policy is equal
justice to everyone. But people
have doubt whether that policy
is being implemented or not.

denial to tiller existed, this issue will continue to crop up again and again.
The root causes should be properly identified and all attempts to solve the problem,
including dialogue with Naxals to bring them
to the mainstream, should be tried, it said.
The CPI asked Maoists and other armed
extremists groups to come out
of the concept of individual
annihilation and violence and
participate in democratic struggles in the country.
On the GAIL pipeline explosion in Andhra Pradesh, the
party demanded a thorough
enquiry, saying the accident
occurreddue to the criminal negligence of GAIL authorities.
Maintaining that local villagers had been reporting about frequent gas leakages in the recent past,
it said while repairs were carried out only two days
before the accident and were not proper, it should
also be probed as to why the pipelines are not
underground and (installed) through the village
homesteads instead of taking them from outside.
Observing that this was not the first such accident that has occurred there, the CPI said it is
shameful that attempts are being made to attribute
the accident to the carelessness of villagers.

Pioneer that at present a proposal
for setting up a safety regulator
for the oil and gas sector having
regulatory powers is under the
consideration of the Committee
of Secretaries (CoS). However
owing to the urgency of the situation in the light of the fire incident, the Ministry of Petroleum
and Natural Gas (MoPNG) is
keen to expedite the process of
setting up the regulator and
sources said that efforts are on to
seek early Cabinet approval for
it.

A
manager, convicted for
his role as the "central figure"
in one of the most lucrative
insider trading schemes in
US history, should be sentenced to more than eight
years in prison, Manhattans
top federal prosecutor Preet
Bharara has said.
Mathew Martoma, 39, was
convicted in February of one
count of conspiracy to commit
securities fraud and two
counts of securities fraud.
A former portfolio manager of CR Intrinsic Investors,
a division of hedge fund giant
SAC Capital, Martoma will be
sentenced on July 28 and and
faces a maximum of 20 years
in prison.
Ahead of the sentencing,
India-born Bharara asked the
federal court here to sentence
Martoma to more than eight
years in prison for collecting
confidential information about
a high-profile drug trial and
making profits and avoiding
losses of $ 275 million for SAC
Capital.
Martoma, a father of three,
even earned a $9.3 million
bonus for himself due to his
various trades for SAC.

op executives of American
T
pharma companies favour
"dialogue" with India and "not
confrontation" to address their
concerns on key issues like the
protection of intellectual property (IP) and clinical trials.
Arguing that global pharma companies share the same
goal of "patient first" with that
of the Government of India,
corporate executives attending
the day-long "US-India
BioPharma and Healthcare
Summit" organised by the USAIndia Chamber of Commerce
said they should not be considered as adversaries by New
Delhi.
While asserting there can
be no compromise on IP protection issues, executives from
top US pharma companies said
that they are willing to work
with India like tier pricing
to come out with a solution,
which is acceptable to the both
the parties.
"We can sit around a table
and have a dialogue. We need
to move from seeing the industry as adversary to work together to help patients.The only
way we can do it is by having
collaboration and actually a
dialogue," Bahija Jallal, executive Vice President of
MedImmune, a prominent biotech company, told the news
agency.
"We want to work together with the Indian Government.
But we cant right now, go
(to India) in a meaningful way
if there is no IP protection," she
Jallal adding that New Delhis
compulsory licensing policies
would force pharma companies
to go to some other countries.
"The Government has to
understand, the first thing that
we care about is the patient. We
can have a dialogue.

Leroy Fer, is out with a strained
hamstring and it is not yet clear
if defender Bruno Martins Indi
has recovered enough from a
concussion he sustained against
Australia in the Netherlands
second group victory, over
Australia.
Mexico Midfielder Jose
Juan Vazquez is suspended
and will likely be replaced by
Carlos Salcido, a former PSV
Einhoven player. We have
players on the bench who can
break open and decide a match,
said Depay.
Holland will be complicated, no one said that its going
to be easy, said defender
Hector Moreno. We are
working very hard to achieve
something that everybody thinks
is impossible.

his World Cup just got a whole lot easier for Costa Rica. According to the
rankings, anyway.
Having left former champions Uruguay,
Italy and England behind to sensationally
win their group one of the toughest at the
World Cup the Costa Ricans line up
against their lowest-ranked opposition so far
in Greece in the second round on Sunday.
It surprisingly has Costa Rica finding
itself the favorite for a place in the quarterfinals. Thats certainly a new situation for
the small Central American country which
arrived hoping to avoid finishing last in a
group of supposed powerhouses and now
has a chance to be in the last eight of the
whole tournament. We were the Cinderella
and now we are favourites. Thats respect
and we earned it,Costa Rica defender
Michael Umana said.
Costa Rica came through with a succession of shocks, beating 2010 semifinalist Uruguay 3-1, stunning 2006 winner Italy
1-0 and then not having to stretch itself in
a 0-0 draw with England. No one can
accuse the team of having it easy and yet
its unbeaten and hasnt conceded a goal at

nent who is better than us, Greece midfielder Lazaros Christodoulopoulos said.
Costa Ricas expectations have sky-rocketed, not just because of the results but the
way they earned them. It progressed from
the group stage for the second time and first
since 1990, doing it with panache and attacking verve and with forwards Joel Campbell
and Bryan Ruiz leading from the front.
What we have accomplished is now
part of history but there are still some chapters left and we want a happy ending, Costa
Rica director of national teams Adrian
Gutierrez said. We know that this team has
a ceiling but we still havent seen it.
Campbell, especially, has been a revelation helped, maybe, by his loan to Greek
club Olympiakos from Englands Arsenal.
The striker, who turned 22 on Thursday,
could play against up to four of his Athens
club teammates this weekend.
I dont think Ill be giving him a call,
Greece midfielder Andreas Samaris said of
contacting his club mate before the game.
But if I did, Id wish him the best of luck
and then tell him his team is going to lose.
If Costa Rica coach Jorge Luis Pinto is
honest, Greece is probably the team he
would have chosen to play out of the other
15 in the knockouts. In fact, both teams
could argue theyve had a lucky draw. Sure,
I would choose Costa Rica over some other
teams, Christodoulopoulos said, but what
Costa Rica has done is a miracle.
While Costa Rica has been flying high
from the start, Greece has taken a little time
to get going. The Greeks scored their first
goals of the World Cup in last group game
and secured qualification at the very end via
a hotly-disputed injury-time penalty from
Georgios Samaras against Ivory Coast.
Neither country has ever gone to the
World Cup quarterfinals. One of them
will now.

ty point. Every single policeman and policewoman was a Hindu, and many were armed to
the teeth. This level of security was deeply
unnerving even to someone from Delhi. That
said, almost everyone was happy to talk politics
and as in the case of pilgrims, there was only
one man on their mind Modi. The police
personnel, who were mainly local Yadavs,
echoed one sentiment: Enough is enough, the
temple must be built.
It is not too difficult to realise why a temple
should be built on the site. Not to correct a historical wrong, but purely from a logistical and
safety point of view. The site is a labyrinth of a
caged path, less than two feet wide and seven
feet high at best, ostensibly to protect devotees
and pilgrims from thousands of monkeys. The
monkeys still manage to attack pilgrims
through gaps; a Gujarati woman had her finger
bitten by one, yet continued singing Sita Ram,
Sita Ram.
Many Indian temples and holy sites belie
their importance by being extremely difficult
and dangerous to access. This was no different,
yet the levels of devotion were astounding. To
risk life and limb to barely catch a glimpse of a
small marble idol and walk in a cage that
resembled one in abattoirs left me constantly
fearing a stampede.
Yet, every single day, thousands of pilgrims come to Ayodhya, which is a small
speck on the map of central Uttar Pradesh,
and get subjected to what one would normally classify as torture. They had come to a site
where Indias Hindus had, according to them,
reclaimed their religion and country. And lest
we forget, where were the pilgrims on-board
that ill-fated train in Godhra returning from
and why were they attacked? All to see something that does not exist. To see a sight that
will remain indelibly etched on Indias psyche.
Another temple might need to be built at
Ayodhya sooner rather than later.

accident
While I was working with Motorola, I was
posted to Chicago from Singapore to manage
global market research. I was staying in a
suburb for the first time in my life. In winters, it would be dark by 5 pm and bitterly
cold, so we would not see a single human
being on the streets for six months. Thats
when I bought a treadmill to kill some time,
and also learnt how to ski.
I would spend around 30 minutes in the
evenings on the treadmill, running and walking, and at the end of the winter, I found that
I could run for 30 minutes without stopping
and covered 3.5 miles. It was then that I
decided to run outdoors once the snow had
melted and over time I got even more hooked
onto running, and finally decided to run
the Chicago Marathon that year. Thats how
it all started.

Q What has been your most overwhelming
experience?
The Everest Marathon has been the most phenomenal running experience I have participated in. It combines many marathons in one
getting to the base camp in one piece and
fit is an ordeal in itself as we battled stomach
flu, the cold, altitude, coughs and colds,
headaches and more; and then had to constantly juggle with weight to carry versus stuff
to send back as we kept going higher and
to more remote locations. And then trekking
through three days of snow of three feet or
more in parts and camping at Everest Base
Camp, then doing the run of a lifetime,
trekking back for two days, having an adventurous plane ride from the Lukla airport in
Nepal one of the most dangerous in the
world, and ending with a rocking party back
at Kathmandu and leaving Kathmandu having
found 50+ soul mates. Those are among some
of the memories I will treasure forever.
Q You have recently completed your 50th
marathon. How did you prepare for it and
how has that experience been?
May 29 marked my 50th marathon run from
the Everest base camp to Namche Bazaar,
which is at a height of 3,446 metres. The
Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon 2014 is
very significant and is often considered to be
the most adventurous trail run in the world.
In my preparation, Puma has been most
supportive both with a range of running and
hiking gear, which was needed for the Everest
Marathon since it had highly varied conditions from snow to rain to rocky trail. Puma
also offered financial support for enabling my
participation. I was most impressed with their
involvement in getting me my final pair of
shoes in the last week from Germany. Those
shoes are the most comfortable ones that I
have ever used on a trail run and I was a bit
worried since I was running in them before
breaking them in for 100-200 km. But the
socks and shoe combination worked like a
dream over the deep snow at the beginning
and the slushy snow and water halfway
through and finally the rainy circumstances in
the latter part of the marathon.
I also found the windcheater great
lightweight, effective both against the wind
and the rain, and the running backpack was
snug and comfortable for me to carry my
munchies, water, energy drink, torch and
other essentials during the marathon. The
ACTV compression legwear was also useful
both as a warm lining along the route, and as
one ended just at nightfall when it was getting
cold again at Namche Bazar.

marathons?
Any place in the country can host a run or
even a marathon. But our focus is around big
corporate spots like Mumbai and Delhi, and
then places worthy of travel and a vacation for
runners to come to and experience different
conditions and challenges, and see the country
and experience the great outdoors.

nce upon a time, Chelsea Clinton
was a little girl from Arkansas. And
deep down, she still is. Despite her
White
House-Stanford-OxfordColumbia-McKinsey-hedge-fund grooming, shes still got a thing for poultry.
Fried chicken is my husbands favourite
food, she divulges in her office at the
Clinton Foundation in Manhattan, where
she lives in a $10 million apartment.
She says, I was a vegetarian for 10
years, a pescatarian for eight. Then I woke
up one day when I was 29 and craved for
red meat, says Chelsea, now 34, who
recently announced she is expecting her
first child. Im a big believer in listening
to my bodys cravings.
One of my earliest childhood memories is being three years old and on the
campaign trail with my dad, says Chelsea,
who was born when her father was the
Governor of Arkansas. That day, a woman
approached her and asked, Do you
want to grow up and be a Governor one
day too? And I looked at her and said,
No, Im three. Im just waving the flag.
That is my job right now. Flag-waving
extraordinaire.
For a decade after graduating from
Stanford in 2001, Chelsea experimented
with the world beyond the Clinton
machine. In peripatetic bursts, she tried
out international relations, then management consulting, then Wall Street, then
a PhD. She even signed on as an NBC
News special correspondent. She rationalises this career promiscuity as a hallmark of being just another Millennial,
experimenting until she figures out her
professional purpose.
And now, finally, she has decided to
join the Clinton family business. As
vice-chair of the recently rebranded Bill,
Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation,
she is helping one of the worlds most

nce you become a parent,
everything in your life
revolves around your
child. The major chunk of
your investments, your
daily routine, eating habits and most
importantly, the place you live in, all
have to correspond well with your
childs life. You make sure that the
childs room is adequately equipped
and leave no stone unturned in doing
up its interiors, beginning from the
right paint and design, to the right
furniture and upholstery.
Nowadays, all hypermarkets are
full of stuff that is specifically
customised for childrens rooms. From
colourful bunk beds and study desks to
curtains and wallpapers to trendy
floorings almost everything that is
required in the room is made as per the
childs taste.
However, not all parents know a
scientific fact that all the colours and
patterns in the childs room should be
as per the direction in which the room
is located. The vibrations emanated by
everything in the room directly
influence the mind and the body of the
child who uses that room.
Mahavastu, the worlds largest ever
written text on vastu shastra, based on
thousands of case studies, has found a
few favourable directions for setting up
the childs room as well as identified
right colours and shapes to be kept in
mind while doing up the interiors. You
must always check if the room is in
right vastu zone. And then check
mahavastu guidelines for the suitable
colours and patterns as well as
recommended directions for the
placement of furniture.
Documented research in vastu
shastra suggests the most favourable
vastu zones for the childs room; these
include west-southwest, southwest,
north, north-northeast, east-northeast,
east-southeast, south-southeast, and
south. If the childs room is not in one
of these vastu zones, you may have to
rearrange the setting of the house and
shift the room to one of these zones.
Else, you may apply simple mahavastu
remedies that include mere changing of

new branch of medical
commerce called palm
surgery is being propagated in some advanced countries
for improving and changing ones
fate simply by altering palm lines
through laser devices. It is being
publicised as a sure shot way to
change peoples lives and future
by manipulating existing lines on
palms.
Can it be possible? Are we
not in the making of a fatalist
mankind? By manipulating lines,
are we not creating lazybones,
who instead of working for the
pursuance of their dreams would
sit idle and do nothing, waiting
for the desired to happen because
they have altered their fate lines?
The network of lines on the
palm is formed when a child is in
the womb of the mother. These
nature prevails.
Can we change our genetic
configuration by altering the
lines on the palm? Can we
change our karma? It is not only
hypothetical but utterly absurd.
In all likelihood, and indications
are, that this surgical gimmickry
may reach India soon. Indians
are already well-known fatalists;
will it not increase our inbound
dependence on fate?
Karma is eternal; it is an
energy that no time can change
and a strength that will stay with
you even in your next life. Try to
be happy from within. Learn the
joy of giving and to be happy
with things that money is unable
to buy. These small things, if followed, can help you have a better
karmic life.

Strong PM: We have lost all
sense of purpose as we were
ruled by people who played to
the gallery every time they felt
threatened. At last we have a
Prime Minister who is willing
to call a spade a spade and set
things right at the cost of his
popularity. To create infrastructure in a country like
India, where people have been
made to think that entitlements are their birthright,
somebody has to stand up to
change the status quo. We
have been fooled for too long.

Address the real problem:
The article reflects how the
Prime Minister harps on
Hindi, an oft-repeated slogan
for the Hindutva brigade.
The author is quite right to
tell Narendra Modi to abandon such misplaced notions
of language chauvinism. The
Prime Minister must address
the real problems facing the
country and not walk the
beaten track lest he lose public sympathy. He must know
gimmicks wont work.

he caliphate an Islamic state with a single political and religious leader, ruled by a would-be successor to Mohammed seems to be back in fashion.
The institution is a millennium old, though the last
caliphate was abolished in 1924, when the secular republic of Turkey snuffed out the final vestiges of the Ottoman
Empire.
A century on, the Iraqi jihadist group ISIS wants to
resurrect the caliphate across the Fertile Crescent, that
beautiful but war-studded arc of land stretching from the
Red Sea to the Persian Gulf. Medieval aims through modern means. Can they do it?
Their ambitions cant be dismissed out of hand.
Jihadist proto-states come and go (think of Algeria in the
1990s), but ISIS is different. It holds territory around
twice the size of Israel, spanning two countries. It is now
probably the wealthiest jihadist group in history, holding
up to $1 billion. And like the international brigades of the
Spanish civil war, it draws recruits from all over the
world.
But the question is whether it has staying power.
There are good reasons to think that ISIS caliphate could
run out of steam long before it matches the great Islamic
empires of history.
ISIS has hostile forces in every direction. It will face
resistance from anti-ISIS Syrian rebels in the west, the
hostility of Kurds in the north, and, eventually, a counteroffensive from Government forces to the south. Even if
the Government collapses and we are a long way from
that Iraqs Shia majority will not accept a permanent
jihadist state on their northern flank, let alone allow ISIS
to stroll into Baghdad. Saddam slaughtered Shias in 1991,
and ISIS has been slaughtering Shias for over a decade.
The Shias have had quite enough.
Iraqs neighbours will also fight back. Ankara does not
look kindly at the fact that ISIS has kidnapped Turkish
diplomats in Mosul. Iran is not just aghast at the rise of a
radical Sunni force on its western border, but concerned
about losing an ally in Baghdad that it views as more
important than even Assad. Tehran is reportedly airlifting
over a hundred tonnes of supplies to Baghdad daily, and
deployed its special forces there weeks ago.
If ISIS attempts to conduct attacks against Western
countries, it will face the near certainty of air strikes. It
can hunker down safely in urban areas like Mosul, but
large stretches of its territory are completely devoid of
cover. It will suffer grievous losses.
But ISIS biggest challenge is closer to home. It
depends on a coalition of other Sunni militants and local
Sunni tribes. Without such allies, it could not possibly
have walked over Iraqi security forces so easily. But coalitions like this can fall apart. Remember that ISIS was
defeated once before, in its previous incarnation as Al
Qaida in Iraq. Their campaign of terror was quelled by
2008, thanks to a surge of US troops and the so-called
awakening of local Sunni tribes who grew tired of the
groups brutality.
True, ISIS is stronger now than it was then. The civil
war in Syria has buoyed the group, swelling its ranks and
hardening its fighters in combat. Those US troops are
long gone, and wont be returning. And the Sunnis who
once turned on ISIS are now so embittered by the heavyhanded sectarianism of the Shia-dominated Government
in Baghdad that many have thrown their lot back in with
the jihadists.
The key is whether ISIS can keep local Sunnis on side
or at least on the fence. Currently, ISIS have learnt from
their past mistakes. They seem to be governing newly
occupied cities with a lighter touch, focusing on delivery
of public services rather than just beheadings. They have
even promised to hand over the captured Baiji oil refinery
to local tribes.
But ISIS leaders are ultimately power-hungry ideologues. I am sceptical that they can keep up this charade.
Sooner or later, they will move towards draconian Sharia
law, prompting the sort of backlash they faced last year in
Syria. This is already apparent in Falluajh.
Or they will clash with their allies. We have already
seen hints of this in Kirkuk, where ISIS came to blows
with JRTN, a group led by Saddams former deputy, over
control of fuel tankers. Moreover, where will the money
come from? Iraqs north and west depend on subsidies
from the capital. ISIS is rich, but it cant run its own state
in perpetuity.
Reports of the Middle Easts death have been greatly
exaggerated. ISIS is laying the foundations for a caliphate,
and it may remain entrenched in Iraq and Syria for years,
but its grandiose, imperial vision is a pipe dream.
Jihadists are utopians and nihilists. Thats not a particularly durable combination.

ollywood should get over
Mel Gibsons antisemitic
comments of 2006 because
everyone has said similar things in
their private moments, Gary
Oldman has told Playboy magazine.
In a wide-ranging interview,
the Oscar-nominated star of Tinker
Tailor Soldier Spy cited political
correctness when asked to comment on Gibsons predicament, and
said people should take a joke.
After defending Alec Baldwin
for calling someone an F-A-G in
the street while hes pissed off coming out of his building because they
wont leave him alone, Oldman
continued to lament Gibsons
predicament.
Mel Gibson is in a town thats
run by Jews and he said the wrong
thing because hes actually bitten
the hand that, I guess, has fed him
and doesnt need to feed him
anymore because he has got
enough dough, said the British
actor. Gibsons rant came after he
was arrested for suspected drink-

tar Wars creator George Lucas
has selected Chicago to build
his museum of art and movie
memorabilia. Bill McCaffrey, a
spokesman for Chicago mayor
Rahm Emanuel, confirmed the decision. McCaffrey did not have immediate details about the much-anticipated decision by the filmmaker.
But the choice is a major victory
for Emanuel and the city, which was
competing with San Francisco for
the museum. San Francisco had
made a hearty push for the museum.
Mayor Ed Lee had banners reading
George Lucas, please build your
museum in San Francisco for the
world to enjoy hung at both city
hall and the waterfront parcel
known as Seawall Lot 330 that the
city hopes will be the future home of
the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum,
the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Lee and a gaggle of former mayors, that included Willie Brown and
Dianne Feinstein, also sent Lucas a
letter last week assuring him of their
support. Art Agnos, another former
mayor who was a vocal opponent of
an earlier proposal for a hotel and
condominiums on the Seawall Lot
S
former holder of the Q title,
John Cleese, has been complaining that he was
dropped from the 007 films
because they decided the
tone they needed was of the Bourne
action movies, which are very gritty and
humourless. The audiences in Asia are
not going for the subtle British humour
or the class jokes.
Cleese does have a point. Asian audiences, in particular, have grown substantially; hence much of the recent Bond
epic Skyfall was set in Shanghai. And
perhaps because of the computer-game
expectations of action-loving Asian
(and American) teenagers, something in
007s screen DNA has changed.
The fights are extended and jawbreakingly realistic; the chases and
action sequences disorientatingly edited and noisy. Its a cynical, straight-faced
new world that Bond now inhabits. The
villains, the glamorous women and
even the locations have a certain downbeat realism to them. Daniel Craigs raw
007, from Casino Royale to the recent
Skyfall, has certainly brought a vulnerable angle to the venerable character
but you dont see people grinning when
leaving the cinema. Is this really the best
way for 007 to win over new generations?
Ian Flemings original novels in the
Fifties might have intended to be straight
thrillers, but in fact they were dazzlingly baroque. The villains had an uncanny, sinister fairy-tale quality: Le Chiffre
with his blank doll-like eyes or Hugo
Drax, who physically resembles a Black
Forest ogre. Fleming was always keen to
steer away from the Cold War; he
believed it wouldnt last. And the Bond
films of the Sixties and Seventies captured that outlandish spirit.
In 1964, during production of
Goldfinger, nervous US money men
wanted Pussy Galore renamed Kitty to
spare delicate sensibilities, but were happily countermanded. Then there was the
central proposition of those films: that
a maniac with a monorail threatening
the entire world could be stopped only
by a martini-glugging middle-aged
British spy.
There is something else under all
that nonsense that the current films are
missing. I still feel unconditional affection for the Roger Moore incarnation; his
eyebrows on constant full alert, every
$FKDQJLQJ

entendre
ruthlessly
doubled.
Somethings come up, he tells a blonde
lady in a ski chalet as they lie on a fur
rug. He means orders from M. Nobody
does it better, crooned Carly Simon in
the opening titles of The Spy Who
Loved Me. She was singing about Roger
Moore.
But Moore and Sean Connery knew
and we knew too that it was a huge
post-colonial tease, a wink to worldwide
audiences about ideas of British superiority. Moore, especially, understood
that there was a responsibility towards
the children watching. But his Bond was
there to make flip quips. Recently, however, the violence levels such as the
gruelling naked torture sequence in
Casino Royale, or Javier Bardems villain
Silva revealing the deforming aftereffects of cyanide poisoning would
make any parent accompanying a child
deeply uncomfortable.
Cleese isnt quite right. The new
films still make a fetish of Britishness
(Skyfall is awash with the Union flag).
What they lack is that essential British
quality of cheerful escapist nonsense. No
longer will we see Bond escaping from
a pool of ravenous alligators by using a
row of them as scaly stepping stones (the
biggest laugh in Live and Let Die).
Its telling that the most memorable
recent 007 exploit did not feature in one
of his films. Instead, the audaciously
amusing image of Bond and the Queen
jumping out of a helicopter was part of
Danny Boyles Olympic opening ceremony. Surely that proves that everyone around the world can still
respond to 007s traditional British
blend of high adventure and self-deprecating absurdity.

draft of one of the most popular songs of all time, Bob
Dylans Like a Rolling Stone,
sold for $2 million, which the auction house called a world record for a
popular music manuscript.
A working draft of the finished
song in Dylans handwriting went to
an unidentified bidder at Sothebys.
The selling price, $2.045 million,
included a buyers premium.
The manuscript is the only
known surviving draft of the final
lyrics for this transformative rock
anthem, Sothebys said. The draft is
written in pencil on four sheets of
hotel letterhead stationery with revisions, additions, notes and doodles
a hat, a bird, an animal with
antlers. The stationery comes from
the Roger Smith Hotel in
Washington DC. The name Al
Capone is scrawled in the margin,
with a line leading to the lyrics like
a complete unknown.
Sothebys described the seller as a
longtime fan from California who
met his hero in a non-rock context
and bought directly from Dylan. He

The last time it happened was in 1996 in a

Van Persie was suspended

Spain and Australia.
The last time the
Netherlands played in the

ost authors write because they are in
love with words. They can conjure
fanciful imagery through breathtaking use of phrases and delectable
structuring of sentences. They can
transport readers to a new world that looks either
enticing or gloomy and by doing so these
authors can even change moods and mindsets.
Nayantara Sahgal does not care to do that, at least
not consciously. Her writings are what one can call
statements. Like a fashion statement, which speaks
less of the dress and more about the person, Sahgals
writings reflect her strongly-held views and her persona more than the literary nuances that many
readers would expect of a writer.
There are many facets to Sahgal the writer and,
therefore, Sahgal the person. But one that stands out
and remains constant throughout her writings, seen
through the prism of her experiences, is her unquestioned commitment to freedom of thought. As The
Political Imagination which she calls a personal
response to life, literature and politics reflects,
she has seen many challenges to that freedom and
spoken out on them, even if it meant burning
bridges with family and friends. As a member of the
Nehru-Gandhi family (she is the daughter of Vijaya
Lakshmi Pandit), she picked up cudgels against the
Emergency, (the Emergency itself played havoc
with my life, cutting me off from earning a living.),
and lashed out at what she called the rise of a militant Hinduism that believes in a Hindu nationhood.
The book is a mix of her writings and speeches
and mushy compliments that writers and others

ob Swarup a London-based expert on
B
financial markets and investments, educated
at Cambridge and Imperial College has written a fascinating book on money management
with a broad and flamboyant sweep. It blends
hard-nosed financial investment theory, some
lateral commentary from experience, the quoting of economists and financial history from the
glorious reign of the Roman Caesars, that of
ancient Greece, the more recent boom and bust
cycles in Japan, Europe in the World War years
and the psychology of people in relationship to
money the world over.
Swarup has left out the latest 2007 onwards
global bust, except in passing, as much has
already been written about it. But he seems to
imply the historical markers, the essential
thinking that fuels a boom and sows the seeds
of the eventual bust, are no different in this
sub-prime crisis either.
The title of this book and Swarups central
thesis suggests a somewhat manic, irrational
approach to the pursuit of riches with dollops of
exuberant money-lending, while most sober
analyses and business/financial investment
models are cautious and cleave to the majority
view. The author explains that most of us fear
social exclusion and find it very difficult to
divorce emotion from principles and actions.
And the way we view financial opportunities
are through the very same emotional prisms of
wanting to belong to the circle of winners.
Human psychology lends itself naturally to
boom and bust, says Swarup. The first-ever
documented sovereign default was in the fourth
century BC in ancient Greece, which was an
aggregate of city states at the time when 10
Greek states defaulted on their debt to the temple of Apollo at Delos. Even back then, the idea
was to leverage growth through debt and the
over-optimism involved led to the default.
Swarup cites economist Hyman Minsky
who saw fragility and financial instability as
intrinsic to any economy that contained banks
and debt. Minskys protg Charles
Kindleberger wrote in 1978 what Swarup calls
the definitive book on manias and panics. He
quotes Kindleberger: Speculation for capital
gains leads away from normal, rational behaviour to what has been described as a mania or
a bubble. The word mania emphasises irrationality

ll about life, be it our physical or
mental functionalities, are nothing but reflection of interplay of
nature driven shakti-variants. The
word shakti used in Indian philosophic
terms is different from what modern
science calls energy, in the sense that
the former could spontaneously go
about by its predefined functions,
where as the latter would work the way
it is driven. In fact, going by Vedic perception, the shakti-streams excited by
the primordial-source, following the
Pranava event is what set into motion
the very chain of creation. Naturally, all
the diverse dynamic players came into
being in the course of the progressive
evolution that followed. It is simply a
manifestation of nature driven shaktivariants. Even the Big-Bang theory, to
which modern science subscribes, runs
almost on similar lines as far as the
energy concept of creation is concerned.
In natures scheme of things, even
human beings with their solid-looking
gross bodies remain at its core level, a
web of vibrating shakti-patterns, all
sourced to nature, and weaved into a
unified dynamic mechanism. And
since the shaktis driving a being, are all
sourced to nature, any variation in

discover the basic fabric of ones making, and accordingly, make necessary
amends through conscious efforts, and
improve upon ones performing-self. So
is needed by a girl in question, who is
worried about not been able to crack
the qualifying examinations she has
attempted so far despite putting in her
best.
A look at her chart would reveal
that the vitals within her are enough to
make her ambition come true. The
markers in this respect are: the two
luminaries, the sun and moon
favourably aligned to mercury, incidentally the lagna lord identified with
basic fabric of ones making, as well as
uranus; mercury well disposed to Mars
and Venus; and Saturn favourably
placed to Mars. The implication, in the
first place, is that she seems to have a
fertile mind having inventive and innovative abilities, vision, foresight, imagination, and with good common sense
and memory. Second, she has the
capacity to delve into a subject and
come out with its finer nuances in clear
terms. Third, she enjoys good communicative skill. Fourth, she is studious,
and has a well-coordinated analytical
mind duly supported by strong vitality.
Finally comes her superb leadership
ability.
