The Election Com-mission of India(ECI) is finding it

tough to have transgen-ders enrolled as voters inthe ‘Others’ gender cate-gory. In January this year,the ECI had achieved lim-ited successin enrolling30 transgen-ders in Nalasopara in theThane district in the ‘Oth-ers’ gender category thatwas newly introduced inForm 6 meant for voterregistration. For the trans-gender community, thebiggest hurdle in enrollingthemselves as voters is thelack of a valid proof of res-idence and gender.Speaking exclusively to

the ADC, Urmi Jadhav ofHumsafar Trust dis-closed, “The transgender

community lives mostlyin slums and is scatteredall over Mumbai. Theslum dwellings they livein are owned by theirgurus who are not willingto part with the agree-ment copy or deposit re-ceipts out of the fear thatit might be misused by

their chelas,who theyalso suspect

of possibly rebellingagainst them.”Deputy Chief Election

Officer Shirish Mohod,admitted to the problemof proof of residence fortransgenders. He addedthat the Electoral Regis-tration Officer (ERO)needs to have somedocu-mentary proof of resi-dence, so as to enable theregistration of voters in

in the BMC’s Standing Commit-tee meeting on Wednesday.However, justminutes before thelong-standing questions wereasked of theMunicipal Commis-sioner, he was seen leaving hisoffice. Now corporators are ask-ing whether this was an attempt

While the Higher SecondaryCertificate (HSC) boardexamination form filling

has been made online; the StateSchool Certificate (SSC) forms arestill to be filled offline. Though theSSC board exam form has to befilled in August-September period,the state board has just declaredthe dates for filling the forms. Asthe dates clash with the Diwali va-cation, SSC students across thestate are in a dilemma whether to

go out of town during the vacationor to stay back home to fill theforms.

Every year around six lakh stu-dents appear for SSC exams acrossMumbai. In the midst of the aca-demic year, students appearing forthe SSC exam have to fill up anexam form for registering them-selves for the board exam.Once theform is filled, during February-March students are issued hall tick-ets. Every year the form is filledduring August-September, but thisyear the month of October is al-

most over and the board has justdeclared the dates, which clashwith the Diwali vacation.

Uday Nare, senior teacher, Han-sraj Morarji Public School toldADC, “This is unfair to students;the dates are declared so late andare clashing with Diwali vacation.Students go out of town some-times, during vacations. They mayhave also booked tickets and nowwill have to decide whether to goon a vacation or to stay back and fillforms.”

In August, the State had stepped

ahead and had introduced onlineform filling for HSC.

When the ADC spoke toLaxmikanth Pandey, Chairman,MSBSHSE, Mumbai division, hesaid, the forms will be available atvarious centres from where theschools have to collect. Studentswill just have to go their schoolsand fill their forms. Studentsshould not be tensed as theirschools have been instructed aboutthe form filling schedule and theboard will see to it that the vaca-tions are not affected.”

Now, SSC students in a fix!State board delays exam forms; new date for filling them clashes with Diwali holidays

It looks like the team from Delhi’sNational Vector Borne Disease

Control Programme which is on avisit to Mumbai, might have an in-teresting stay here as the city isshowing trends in dengue that doc-tors in the BMC run KEM hospitalhave never seen before.

Dengue, which was considered adisease that normally affectsadults, has also started affectingchildren this year. To add to this, itlooks like that the age group is rel-atively low and infants who are lessthan a year old are being attackedby the virus.

KEM hospital, between Septem-ber and October, has seen fivecases of infants in the age group ofthree to seven months, being ad-mitted with dengue. In September,there were three cases, while twomore were reported last week.

“This is the first time that we areseeing such small children beingadmitted with dengue. Generally,dengue was seen only adults. Itthen started affecting children andnow infants under the age of oneare also suffering from it. Babies aregenerally fully clothed and pro-tected from mosquito bites. Theyare also not very exposed to theoutside world. Still cases of babiesaffectedwith dengue are nowbeing

seen,” said Dr. Mukesh Agarwal,Head of Department, Paediatrics,KEM hospital.

All the children recovered withina day or two but were kept underobservation for a week as a precau-tionary measure before being dis-charged, informed Dr. Agarwal.

What private practioners hadto say...According to Dr. Ajit Gajendragad-kar, consultant paediatrician, P.DHinduja Hospital, dengue amongchildren under the age of one, isnot new but it is uncommon.

“Dengue can happen to anybodybut in infants it is peculiar. In in-fants, even a first time dengue in-fection acts like a secondaryinfection if the mother had beenpreviously affected by dengue andpassed on the antibodies throughthe placenta to the child. And it issecondary infection that causesdengue related complications. Andif themother has not been affectedby dengue and still the child gets it,

then it is a first time infectionwhich could be mild and pass off.In both cases, the child has to bebitten by a mosquito carryingdengue virus. The vector has to bepresent in any case,” said Dr.Gajendragadkar who has also seena couple of such cases recently.

Dr. Gajendragadkar attributesthis to a probable increase in themosquito load.

“The number ofmosquitoes car-rying the dengue virus might haveincreased. Also, the extendedmon-soon this season haswater puddlesbeing formed everywheremaking ita breeding place for the mosqui-toes. Construction activities mightbe another reason,” said Dr. Gajen-dragadkar.

Dr. Prakash Vaidya is also of theopinion that though cases of chil-dren under the age of one gettingdengue aren’t new, it is uncommon.

“It is true that it is typically olderpatients with dengue is what isseen but even children are affected.We do see such cases sporadically.Children suffering from dengue isnot new but can be called uncom-

mon,” said Dr. Vaidya.

What the BMC had to say...Rajan Naringrekar, BMC Insecti-cide officer agreed that mosquitoload has increased in the city andthe reasons for this is erratic rain-fall and other factors conducive inthe city for mosquito breeding.

“Rainfall increases mosquitobreeding and we have had erraticrainfalls this year. Also, the habitatsof mosquitoes have changed now.The breeding places are more in-doors now. The BMC is taking ofbreeding places that are outdoorsbut keeping breeding at bay in-doors is an individual’s responsi-bility. Making sure that vases,flowerpots and tarpaulins do notbecome breeding spots for mos-quitoes is responsibility of everycitizen. Such breeding places couldlead babies being bitten by mos-quitoes. Also, a baby can’t avoid amosquito bite by swatting it away,the way an adult can,” said Nar-ingrekar.

Dengue strikes infants

George Menezes is 84 and forlonger than we can remember, hehas been regaling us with stories,anecdotes and plainremembrances of his life, first inthe Indian Air Force, then as adiplomat with the Indian Embassyin Paris, during his lengthyassignment with HoechstPharmaceuticals as a personneldirector, and long after hisretirement. For us the humourslipped (but not by much) when he

joined the BJP, but that is in thepast. And now he has given us thegood news that his latest book, TheNaked Liberal, has sold out its firstprint run – all 500 copies.Which may not seem like a large

number, but it can count itsexistence only in double digitsdays, so sold out and 500 copies isnot a bad image at all.It was released by the Cardinal,

Oswald Gracias, at a special littlefunction last Saturday and Georgebeing George and very generous,he took the opportunity to felicitatetwo members of the Christiancommunity. One was Anita Lobo,

the plucky volunteer traffic wardenwho had a rather nasty run in withone of the sons of industriesminister Narayan Rane some timeago. She did not back down andthat was the trouble.The other was General (Retd) Ian

Cardozo, hero of the Battle ofSylhet, the first disabled officer inthe Indian Army to be given his owncommand, thus paving the way fora huge change of mindset towardsthis segment in the Forces. TheADC had an interview with him lastMonday and is always willing towrite about him again!George as a Squadron Leader

was Cardozo’s rank senior andremembered him with awe. “Henever feared the four letter wordwhich began with ‘F’,” he said, asthe audience broke into laughter.“He never feared FEAR,” continuedCardozo as he spoke of the manythings Menezes stood and foughtfor. “George is like a diamond:Freedom fighter, activist… notbothered about himself butconcerned about others. He haspacked his life into doing things.George is someone who is notafraid to call a spade a spade.”Then the baritone-voiced GersonDaCunha read from the book, ananthology of his writing, reflectingon growing up as the eldest son ofthe eminent Professor ArmandoMenezes, a life spent between Goaand Bombay, his closestrelationships, youthfulexperimentations with marijuana,joining the BJP, and being anoutspoken lay conscience of theCatholic Church.Pick up a copy. There is no way

you will not enjoy it.

The meaning of Sachin-loveWriting in The Economist, Banyanmuses on the meaning of Sachinand speculates that his impending

retirement “warrants nationalintrospection”. “How do you copewith a world without God?” is thequestion all of us are supposed tobe asking ourselves.After all, “When Mr. Tendulkar

walks out to bat for India, as he has780 times, seething stadiumserupt, boiling over withcacophonous Sachin-love…..Perhaps 400 m watch ontelevision, risking power surges toIndia’s jerry-rigged grid, which endabruptly the moment Mr. Tendulkargets out, as millions switch off.”And later. “His final Test against

West Indies in his native Mumbai,will be his 200th….In a countryscarred by a long history of beingsecond best, where stridentnationalism rarely conceals thelingering insecurity that many

Indians, even rich ones, feel abouttheir place in the world, thissuccess is glorious. India’s nationalhero is also a world-beater”. Aswith everything in the magazine,this is also brilliantly written.If there is one little quibble, it is

with the fact that the article seemsto end on a downer.Sachin straddles two worlds, the

writers says, the old and the new.In the new world that he has beeninhabiting with some discomfortdue to fading eyesight andreactions, the runs have sort ofdried up. Yet he has stayed on inspite of his reduced output. ManyIndians, Banyan says, are secretlydismayed by this and see it as a“more dismal exemplum” (lovelyword): of the impunity enjoyed byrich and famous people. “Indians

prefer their gods divine, notincarnate. For this same reason,many dread what is rumoured to beMr. Tendulkar’s next innings – inpolitics”.

Super heroineBy day she goes to college whereshe hopes to take a degree inFinancial Markets. Out of theclassroom, 19-year-old PoonamKurkure is the Snake Catcher,terror of the creepy crawlies, thesuper-heroine and go to girl forpeople who have seen a slitherer inthe tall grass much too close tohome.Well, perhaps “terror” is putting it

too strongly. Yesterday morningPoonam was busy answering callsand the take was four serpents, all

cobras, two from Shivainagar andanother two near the BethanyHospital at Kokanipada. She andher senior in the Thane-basedWorld Wildlife Association, JeetGupta, took the bag out to the wildsand released them gently. She hasbeen handling snakes for the pastfive years and says she absolutelyloves what she does. She startedout with non-venomous snakes andthen “graduated” to the venomousones. We asked Poonam whetherattitudes towards snakes hadchanged in the last five years sinceshe has been answering calls forhelp. She said a rather surprisingthing.It seems that there is much more

awareness of the value of snakesas a life form in the cities. “In thevillages, the first instinct is to pickup a stick and beat a snake thathas entered your home to death,”she asserted. “That must changebecause there are moresnakes in the rural areas than inthe cities.”The reptiles that she helped pick

up yesterday were not exactlysmall. They ranged in size fromseven feet to six, to five to four feet.The best part is they are all aliveand doing well (presumably) intheir new surrounds, far from themadding crowds of Mumbai.

This evening at the Bhau Daju LadMuseum in Byculla’s JijamataUdyan promises to be veryspecial, encasing as it does, thevernissage of The Sassoon Album,an exhibition produced inassociation with the BritishLibrary. And just to give you ataste of the delights therein, hereis a photograph of MasinaHospital as we have neverseen it.The photographs on show come

from an album presented to theBritish Library in 2012 by Edwinaand Sybil Sassoon, descendantsof the great merchant familywhose history is intimatelyconnected with that of nineteenth-century Bombay.This Jewish dynasty came to

Bombay from Baghdad in the mid-nineteenth century and rose tocommercial and philanthropicprominence in India, China andthe City of London under itspatriarch David Sassoon (1792-1864). In Mumbai, we are allfamiliar with the library thatcarries his name, opposite the

Jehangir Art Gallery.According to the invitation to the

event, “The album is of particularhistorical value, since it provides aunique record of styles of

domestic architecture in the 19thcentury, which have now almostentirely disappeared.“The photographs provide a

historical insight into the cityscape

of Mumbai and aid thevisualisation of the eliteneighborhoods of the past, inparticular Byculla, where themuseum is located.”

Once upon a time, when merchant princes lived in Mumbai in homes like these, Masina Hospital in Byculla was San Souci.

When Poonam Kurkure is done attending classes on the financial markets every days, she goes in search of more exciting stuff – likecatching cobras found in inhabited areas and then letting them free in the jungles where they should be.

Exactly a day after theBombay High Court ex-pressed displeasure

over the passport authority’sfailure to take a stand on apetition filed by starlet andgangster Abu Salem’s formercompanion,Monica Bedi, thecourt onWednesday directedit to process and decide onthe application within 12weeks.This comes after the divi-

sion bench of Justice V.M.Kanade and S.C. Guptewhichwas hearing a petition filedby Monica seeking a direc-tion to the passport office totake a decision on her appli-cation for re-issuance, ob-served that the RegionalPassport Office (RPO) cannotsit on a passport applicationfor days.On September 24, the

court had given a last chanceto the passport authorities torespond to Bedi’s petition.Bedi and Salemwere arrestedin Portugal and extradited toIndia in 2005. In the same

year, she was held guilty ofsubmitting forged docu-ments for procuring her pass-port and sentenced to fiveyears in jail.In 2007, Bedi was released

on bail pending appeal. In2010, the Supreme Court,while upholding her convic-tion, reduced the sentence tothe period undergone by herin prison.“Bedi filed application for

re-issuance of her passporton September 3, 2012. Herform was accepted and shewas given an acknowledge-ment slip. However, till date

there has been no communi-cation. No order has alsobeen passed rejecting her ap-plication,” Bedi’s counsel Ni-teen Pradhan said.Bedi’s petition had stated

that she wants to go abroadfor shooting and her career isaffected due to non-availabil-ity of passport.The RPO in its affidavit

filed earlier had said, “It can-not issue passport if any pro-ceedings pertaining to theoffences lodged against her ispending before any criminalcourt. We have even soughtNOC from Bhopal, Hyder-abad and CBI Delhi pendingwhich we cannot take a deci-sion.”After hearing the sides, the

court observed, “Whateverobjections the passport au-thority have, inform those tothe petitioner. If there are anyformalities that need to becompliedwith, the petitionermay do so. We direct the re-gional passport office tocomplete the process within12 weeks.”

The investigations into themobile phone snatching

case of Addl.Municipal Com-missioner Mohan Adtani hassuddenly come to a halt andinvestigators are uncertainabout recovery of the cellphone. The reason for this isthat the accused, who hadsnatched Adtani’s androidphone, has sold each partseparately. In fact, probingthis case, police learned thatthe cell phone thieves havefound a modus operandi onthe same lines as vehiclethieves.Talkingwith the ADC, Addl.

CP (South Region) KrishnaPrakash said, “These daysmost of the mobile phonesbeing Android, the thievessell each part separately justlike parts of vehicles are soldseparately by vehiclethieves.”“Right from body of the

phone to its screen as well assmall parts like sensor, aredisbanded and sold,” said Ra-

jendra Patil, inspector of Ma-rine Drive police station.On August 31, two men on

a motorcycle had snatchedthe mobile phone of Adtaniwhile he was walking alongMarineDrive on his way backto his Malabar Hill home

from the BMC headquarters.At around 9.40 pm, Adtanihad reached Girgaum Chow-patty and was talking on hisphone, when two men on abike snatched his phone andsped away.

They may be searchinghigh and low, but thepolice failed to contactIM terrorist Usmani’srelatives after he gavethem the slip fromwithin the court houseBy Zuber Ansari

OnSeptember 20, AfzalUsmani, a suspectedIndian Mujahideen

operative and an accused inthe 2008 Gujarat blasts, es-caped from the sessionscourt premises nearKalaghodawhere hewas pro-

duced before the special Ma-harashtra Control ofOrganised Crime (MCOCA)court. Usmani fled when thepolice escort had taken agroup of the accused to thecourt corridor during lunchhour.More than a month after

Usmani managed to slipaway, the Mumbai and Ma-harashtra police, who are re-

portedly working day andnight in collaboration withother national agencies, havefailed to get any concrete leadwhich could help them nabhim soon.Interestingly, Usmani’s

Dharavi-based nephew,Javed Khan, and a canteenoperator who had lent himRs.600 on the day he slippedaway from the court prem-ises, have also gone missing.Many teams of City crimebranch and Delhi CrimeBranch have been raidingvarious places andmaintain-ing visual and electronic sur-veillance around the countrywhereUsmani could possiblyhide, but are shocked by thefact that till date, Usmani hasnot contacted a single mem-ber of his family.The City and state police

have interrogatedmany peo-ple in Navi Mumbai, particu-larly Vashi and Panvel, andother parts of the city, whoUsmani used to deal with,but they revealed that afterhis name was linked to theblast case, they had severedall contact with him.According to close sources

from the Anti TerrorismSquad (ATS) Mumbai, manyevidences, including his pre-vious telephonic conversa-tion have been checkedmany times over, his formerassociates are also under thescanner, but none of themseem to know anything about



CITY 07

his whereabouts.Central Investigation

Agency and Delhi CrimeBranch raidedmany places inGujarat on the basis of infor-mation from some former as-sociates, but returnedred-faced. Before being ar-rested in the blast case, Us-

mani was running a very suc-cessful car theft gang, andpolice have tapped many carthieves who earlier workedfor Usmani, but have againdrawn a blank.Shockingly, during back-

ground checks by the police,it emerged that for the past

two years, Usmani’s nephew,Javed Khan, used to visit himregularly while hewas lodgedin Sabarmati Jail in Ahmed-abad. Even later, when Us-mani was shifted to TalojaJail, Khan would visit himthere. Further, Usmani’s ownbrother also used to visit him

regularly in jail, but stoppeddoing so after sometime,while Khan started visitinghim. The police are thereforecollecting information re-garding Javed Khan, andquestioned his family, whichclaimed to be unaware of hiswhereabouts.

on the issue and his verdictwould be final in the matter.However, before this couldhappen, Kunte walked out ofhis office, and his staff clari-fied that he had gone to theMantralaya.Last week, the Improve-

ment Committee passed aresolution to support CampaCola residents and forward itto the Municipal Commis-sioner, requesting him to for-ward it to the Chief Minister.Councillors wanted to knowabout the progress of the res-olution.“There are three questions

to which everyone wantedanswers,” saidDilip Patel, BJPcouncillor. “Why has no ac-tion been taken against thebuilder who is the prime cul-prit? Secondly, what actionhas been taken against theEngineers of the BuildingProposal department whodeliberately neglected theissue, and third, what couldbe the best solution to thisdeadlock? Only MunicipalCommissioner SitaramKunteis in a position to answerthese and he has left the of-fice and gone to theMantralaya.”Interestingly, Congress

councillors also supported

the Shiv Sena and BJP coun-cillors over relief to CampaCola residents, and this hascaused much tension forChiefMinister Prithviraj Cha-van. Standing CommitteeChairman Rahul Shewalesaid, “We will continue thismeeting tomorrow and theMunicipal Commissionerwillbe present for it.”This is significant because

in the normal course, endingthe meeting would mean theissue could take as long as afortnight to come up again.However, announcing thatthere was no ending to themeeting whioch would be“continued” the next day,means that the questions willhave to be answered – today

the ‘Others’ category. “Wehave written to voluntaryorganisations representingthe transgender communityabout enrolling them as vot-ers in the ‘Others’ gendercategory. We are yet to re-ceive any feedback from thecommunity,” he said.Commenting upon the re-

cent conclave in which thestate government agreed tolook into the communitydemands, Jadhav stated thatit was the result of the com-munity’s own initiative. An-other problem that thetransgender community isapprehensive about is thepossible misuse of the regis-tration facility by otherswho might fraudulentlyclaim to be transgenders.“Most of us, like me, had

their old voter identity cardsand PAN cards which wereissued when they weremales. For the last eightyears I have been living withmy Guru as a transgender.Now the old proof is of nouse. The government needsto give us some alternateproof of residence,” Jadhavremarked.The transgender commu-

nity in Mumbai is around5,000 to 10,000 and isspread across localities likeKamathipura, Vikhroli,Malad-Malwani, Reay Road,Darukhana, Govandi andMankhurd, disclosed Jad-hav. As per the current voterlist for 2013, the total voterpopulation in Maharashtrais 7,98,54,016 crore. This in-cludes 4,21,16,101 male,3,76,18,281 female and 30voters as ‘Others’.

According to civic officials,there are at least 45,000such ‘disputed properties’ incity to which the civic bodyhas sent notices under MRTPAct. If Campa Cola gets anexception, the same rule willbecome applicable to allproperties. Henceforth,builders will construct morefloors than legally granted byFSI and ultimately, theresidents will have topressurise the CM or thecivic body to get the illegalfloor regularised.

Mira-Bhayandarresidents areinstalling nylon netsto stop the birds fromdefiling their homesBy Suresh Golani

Known to be the poorcousins of the “Birds ofPeace,” pigeons are turningout to be a source of im-mense discomfort for theresidents of Mira-Bhayan-dar. While the number ofother bird species, includ-ing the crows and sparrowsare on the decline, pigeonsare thriving andmultiplyingfast in the twin-city, as feed-ing them is considered aus-picious among certaincommunities.Other birdsmostly rely on

building nooks and crevices

to survive, but pigeons ap-parently have an inclinationto enter households. Thishas prompted residents toinstall nylon nets on win-dows. Hardware stores aremaking a killing as the de-mand for pigeon nets hasbeen steadily increasinglyover the past severalmonths. “Earlier, we used tosell stainless steel wired

meshes, but now they arebeing replaced by fancy-looking colourednylonnets,which help keep pigeonsaway from entering homesthrough windows,” said ashopkeeper in Bhayandar.Though considered meek

andunaggressive birds, theirdroppings and feathers cancause serious ailments, in-cluding respiratory diseases.

The Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP)’sweek-long campaign foraround 72 lakh train com-

muters of Mumbai came to an endtoday.The campaign that engaged com-

muters was conducted from Chha-trapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus(CST) toMulund station on the cen-tral line and from Churchgate toDahisar on the western line of thesuburban railway network.Volunteers of the BJP held signa-

ture campaigns and also travelledwith the commuters to discuss theirproblems. They asked the com-muters to fill up forms citing theirgrievances along with suggestions.According toHaidar Azam, co-or-

dinator of the programme, “Collegestudents and women gave an over-whelming response. Nearly 10,000

to 15,000 feedback forms were col-lected at very station during theweek-long campaign”. The week-long campaign ended in the pres-ence of Ashish Shelar, Mumbaipresident of the Bharatiya JanataParty (BJP).Shelar had an engaging conversa-

tion with the commuters regardingproblems of sexual harassment,lack of proper sanitation facilitiesfor ladies at railway stations andwater coolers at stations withschool-going children and collegestudents having demanded a sepa-rate compartment for them. Preg-nant women and cancer patientswho are not allowed to travel inhandicapped compartments havesuggested that they should alsohave a separate compartment.Sunita Sathe (32), a commuter

who travels fromVirar to Santacruzevery day, said, “There should be a

separate ladies compartment forpregnant women. It is very difficultfor me to travel during peak hours”.Commuters also spoke about the

inconvenient heights of severalplatforms. Another problem thatthe commuters discussed was thelack of Foot Over Bridges (FOBs).“A memorandum is going to be

presented to the Railway Ministry.The railway authorities also need togive an assurance to the com-muters. To put forth the require-ments of commuters at everystation, the station masters aregoing to be roped in too. If our de-mands are not met then we mayeven go for a rail-roko andolan atany of the stations or at AzadMaidan”, said Azam.According to Shalaka Salvi, Presi-

dent of theMumbaiMahilaMorcha(BJP) wing, “On October 27 and 26,a delegation is going to travel toDelhi to propose thememorandumto the UPA government’s unionminister T. Baloo”.Women commuters have sug-

gested that Mahila Sansthas shouldbe allowed to run food stalls on sta-tions since the quality of the foodcurrently sold is not always hygienicand nutritious. Instead of bingingon samosas and vada pav, sabzirotis and thalis should be provided.According to Salvi, “There needs

to be an increase in the number ofhomeguards and Railway PolicePersonnel (RPF) in ladies compart-ments. Women commuters havesuggested that there should bewomen home guards in ladies com-partments after 9 pm since they donot tend to trust the male counter-parts”.We are also going to propose to

the authorities that the RPF andGovernment Railway Police (GRP)personnel should be gender sensi-tised”, said Salvi.

BJP national spokesperson Nir-mala Sitaraman yesterday lashed

out at Congress vice president RahulGandhi wanting to know what hap-pened to the Congress led UPA gov-ernment’s assurance of reigning inthe prices of essential commodities,made during 2009 Lok Sabha elec-tions. Speaking to newspersons here,she said that the Bharat Nirmancampaign of the Congress is basedon half-truths. The Congress has en-gaged in a cherry-picking of projectsthat are implemented half-way and

claimed credit for it.Commenting upon Gandhi’s

campaign rally speech in Rajasthan,she remarked that the Congresspresident’s speech resembled thatof an opposition leader. Sitaramanstated that the Congress cannot talkabout its performance on gover-nance and development, as its lead-ers know that they will be exposedon their failures. She added that theAadhar card project has failed andthe government is trying to pushthrough the Direct Cash BenefitTransfer scheme to beneficiaries,even as the Supreme Court has

ruled that it cannot be made com-pulsory. She added that the realbeneficiaries are not getting theirAadhar cards, and instead, illegalimmigrants are getting theirs.Sitaraman charged the Congress

of making baseless charges againstNitin Gadkari and Amit Shah andwanted to know why no FIR wasbeing lodged against them. She fur-ther charged the Congress ofmisus-ing investigating agencies toprosecute and harass the opposi-tion, and coerce partners like Mu-layam Singh Yadav and Mayawati.Commenting upon the rising prices

of onion, she slammed union min-isters KVThomas and Sharad Pawarfor their contradictory statements.Later speaking to newspersons,

state party spokesperson MadhavBhandari disclosed that the substanceof the day-long brain storming sessionof the state level party spokespersonon the use of social media in electioncampaigningwas that future electionswill be fought on the platformof socialmedia. He added that the state levelcadres were briefed about propagat-ing the party’s development plankwithout getting caught in the diver-sionary tactics of the Congress.

BJP national spokesperson NirmalaSitaraman

ANYONE following Narendra Modi’scampaign knows by now that the windhe has caught in his sails rises from the

deep despair that is the predominant moodin India after ten years of the Sonia-Manmo-han government. But, it is only when youdrive throughUttar Pradesh that you begin tounderstand why this despair caused by badpolicies and bad governance is so deep. Hav-ing just driven to Kanpur fromDelhi to attendhis first rally in our biggest and electorallymost important state allows me to tell youwhat I saw on the way.The journey began well enough. The Ya-

muna Expressway is by far the best road inIndia. It cuts the journey to Agra by at leasttwo hours, is access controlled and modernby any standards. Its flaw is that unlike simi-lar highways in other countries, it seems tohave not given local communities en route toshare in its benefits by allowing them thechance tomake a living through highway ho-tels, restaurants, cafes and shops. Farmerswho lose their land to big infrastructure proj-ects are less likely to be hostile towards themif they can see their own lives improved as aconsequence. For some reason, the plannersof the Yamuna Expressway overlooked thisjust as successive governments of UttarPradesh have overlooked the incredibletourism potential of our biggest state.Tourism could transformUttar Pradesh frombeing one of our poorest states to being oneof our richest. Tourism officials calculate thatnearly every foreign visitor to India visits theTaj Mahal. And, then there are Varanasi andAllahabad that draw Hindu pilgrims in mil-lions and Moghul single trade towns likeKhurja, Aligarh, Ferozabad, Kannauj andMoradabad that if cleaned up and restored totheir medieval splendor could attract foreignvisitors in droves.

Incredible UPOn the way to Agra lies Mathura that has

magnificent sculptures from the Kushan pe-riod that lie forgotten in a decrepit museum.My despair deepened from theminutewe gotoff the expressway and found ourselves in thesqualid, smelly bazaars of Agra that have re-mained this way for decades. The waters ofthe Yamuna are stagnant with filth and al-though on one of its banks stand themajesticruins ofMoghul forts and tombs on the other

bank there are hideous slums. If any of thechief ministers of this state had understoodthe importance of tourism to the economythey would at least have cleaned up the cityof the Taj.If Agra’s neglect saddened me Kanpur hor-

rifiedme.We entered this former ‘Manchesterof India’ through a colony that seemed to bemade entirely of rotting garbage. People hadbuilt their hovels from it, children played init, garbage pickers hovered over it in search ofmaterial to sell and pigs, dogs and rats in-fested it in search of food. Out of this land-scape rose a mosque and a temple and nottoo far from it a shopping mall made of glassand steel.So when I got to Modi’s rally and saw that

none of the big local leaders of the BJP evokedeven a hint of applause from the vast seethingcrowd I understoodwhy. I arrived three hoursbefore Modi and this gave me more thanenough time to listen to Kalyan Singh, LaljiTandon andVinay Katiyar.They droned on about corruption and the

evil Congress Party and the crowd seemednotto be listening. The sunwas intensely hot andthe air so still it was hard to breathe but peo-ple continued to come only because ofModi.When he finally appeared people behaved asif they were suddenly in the presence of amessiah. They gazed at himwith wonder andreverence.He told them that he had been totally won

over by their love and promised that hewouldnot betray their trust in him. He told themthat India had been betrayed by her leadersover and over again and that it was time to

dream a new dream and hope for a better fu-ture for their children. He told them that itpained him personally when the CongressParty’s prince mocked the poor for theirpoverty by describing it as a state of mind.When you are born with a golden spoon inyour mouth you can do this, he said, but hewho had been born in poverty and spent hischildhoodmired in it could never do this be-cause he knew intimately how awful povertycould be.Of the speeches he has made, it was one of

the best I have heard and of the rallies he hasaddressed, it was one of the biggest but on thedrive back to Agra I found myself wonderinghow he was going to win the fifty seats heneeds in UP with the sort of leaders that satbeside him on the stage. Rajnath Singh andLalji Tandon have spent their time bringingtheir sons into politics and not on buildingthe party. And, Kalyan Singh’s supposed ap-peal to the lower castes vanished long ago. Asfor Vinay Katiyar’s hard-line Hindutva ideol-ogy, it is somuch yesterday’s idea that the oldslogan ‘Jai Shree Ram’ barely got a responsefrom the crowd.

Vikas neededWhen I got to my hotel in Agra late that

night, I noticed that it was bursting with for-eign tourists. They filled the restaurants andshops and seemed to come from all over Eu-rope and England.This, without any effort onthe part of the state government to do evenwhat Rajasthan andKerala have done to builda strong tourism economy. I went to bed thatnight dreaming of a day when just the city ofAgra would attractmore foreign tourists thanthe measly six million India does today.Had caste and creed mattered less to the

state’s politicians and development and bet-tering people’s lives mattered more, thiswould already have happened. Ordinary peo-ple I talked to in Kanpur at the rally said thatthe reason why they liked Modi was becausehe had brought vikas to Gujarat and this iswhat they hoped he would bring to UttarPradeshwhen he became the primeminister.Modi appears to be the only political leadertoday who has understood that the mainissue in the next general election is going tobe development and linked to its absence inthe voters’ minds is price rise and the eco-nomic downturn.

FOLLOWING the visit of UnionHome Minister Sushil Kumar

Shinde and J&K Chief MinisterOmar Abdullah to the Line of Con-trol (LoC), Pakistan’s army appearsto have posed a challenge to India:It committed ceasefire violations at30 Indian posts along the LoC. Itkilled an Indian jawan and injuredthree others.The situation looks quite serious

along the LoC. Pakistan does notwant peace with India: What itwants now is Kashmir. Develop-ments along the border indicatethat large-scale incursions of Pak-istani terrorists are taking place.Pak President Nawaz Sharif ap-pears to have a new plan to dealwith the Kashmir issue. He has, forinstance, asked US PresidentBarack Obama to intervene andhelp get Kashmir for Pakistan.He knew what Obama would sayand yet he raised the K-questionwith him.And now, the army-trained ter-

rorists are attempting to cross intoIndia.Why is he pushing terroristsinto Kashmir? There could be aplan for destabilisation of the stateand for causing violent distur-bances. There are a few pro-Pak-istani elements in Kashmir who arelikely to provide various types ofassistance. So, far, Pakistan has notattempted such a large-scale infil-tration.Is another Kargil brewing along

THE practice of mindfulness can be repre-sented in two aspects,mindfulness of con-

sumption andmindfulness of transformation.First of all, a few words about mindfulness oftransformation of consumption. There is aseed to anger in our store consciousness.When that seed of anger is notwatered, we areokay.We can smile, we can have a good time.But when the seed of anger in us is watered,we suffer because when it is watered, it mani-fests itself on the upper level of our con-sciousness calledmind consciousness.This is the seed of anger, this is the image of

anger. In our tradition, we call it mental for-mation. In Buddhist psychology, we speak of51 varieties of seeds and anger is just one kindof seed. When the seed of violence, is mani-fested as energy, we call it amental formation,anger as a mental formation, it is a seed. Andwhen anger has become a mental formation,it is the kind of energy that make us suffer.And if you don’t know how to handle, it will

make our beloved ones suffer also. And thepractice is that every time anger manifests,you have to invite some other seed to mani-fest to take care of anger and you usually in-vite the seed of mindfulness to come up.Mindfulness is always mindfulness of

something.When you drinkmindfully, there’smindfulness of drinking. The object of yourmindfulness is drinking. When you walkmindfully, that is mindfulness of walking.When you look at things mindfully, whetherthey are the blue sky or the beautiful trees, it’scalled mindfulness of looking. But mindful-ness is not only to be mindful of the positivethings and the lovely things.When angerman-

ifests, you practicemindfulness of anger. But Iknow anger is inme breathing out. I will care-fully take good care of my anger. When youstop the traffic as the police officer to checkwhether there is a personholding a gunor not,you needmindfulness. But out of experience,you know that not everyone, not every car, hasa terrorist inside. You might stop 1,000 carsand 999 cars are without terrorist. And if youonly look for terrorists, that would be a pity.If you are truly mindful, you can see the

positive things and the negative things. If youexercise your duty in such a way that you arealways looking for the negative, that’s not goodfor your health. That’s not good for the health

of your society and family.Youwho are trainedpolice officers, you have to think about it.Mindfulness is always something. And whenyoupractice it, you have an opportunity to getin touch with the wonderful, refreshing heal-ing elements in yourself and in the world foryour nourishing and transformation.If mindfulness only focus on the negative

things, that would be a pity. But right mind-fulness has the capacity of transforming thenegative things and this is the case.When anger manifests as a mental forma-

tion, it has the power to burn, to destroy. Andif you don’t know the practice ofmindfulness,you allow yourself to be burned and to be de-stroyed by anger and other people who livearound you will suffer also. That is why as apractitioner of mindfulness when you noticethat anger is coming up, you have to do some-thing right away. You have to act, not justreact. You have to act inviting the seed ofmindfulness to comeup, breathing in, breath-ing out, making steps, generating the energyof mindfulness in order to take care of theanger that has manifested. When you breathin and out or youpracticewalkingmeditation,you generate the energy of mindfulness. Sup-pose you call the energy of anger energy num-ber one? Then you can call the energy ofmindfulness energy number two.

Sonia Gandhi’s ambitionHERE is an alternative view on theIndian political scenario.The Congress group has been

willfully indulging in huge corrup-tion. Sonia Gandhi has recentlybeen declared as one of the tenrichest politicians in the world. Shehas reached this peak from trulyhumble Italian beginnings. Wheredid all the wealth come from? I saythat she allowed others in her groupto accumulate wealth just as long as

she got her cut. And the cumulativeeffect is that she has reached herhigh position.In doing so, she had to make

compromises and give her partymen leeway because she was neverreally interested in thewelfare of thecountry; she was out to become‘filthily’ rich. Over the years, thecountry has deteriorated finan-cially, economically, socially andmorally. The PrimeMinister and herson aremereminions. Her objectiveis to remain in power so that shecan reach the pinnacle of wealth bybecoming the richest politician,nay, the richest person in theworld.

This isthe status when the investigation ofa scam of huge proportion is beingdirectly monitored by the apexcourt. Earlier, the PMO’s office andthe ex-law minister ‘amended’ thestatus report of the CBI and theapex court is said to have admon-ished this highly objectionable act.A good number of files are said to be‘not’ traceable and the PM dis-owned the moral responsibility bysaying that he was not the ‘custo-dian’ of the files giving the impres-sion that he is not ‘interested’ in the‘truth’ coming out in this regard.The PM should hasten the tempo ofthe investigation so that the truthcomes out at as ‘quickly’ as possibleand the ‘convicted’ are punished asper the law.

Communal riots bill needed?AS reported since election is aroundthe corner Congress party is on‘passing spree’ of variousbills, including the com-munal violence bill. Itseems they havewoken up from thedeep slumber of their 10 years’ rule.But they fail to realise that there is

very large chasm between passingof a bill, its implementation and thefinal results. Retrospectively speak-ing, all the bills passed in past have

met their Waterloo, as they did nothave the desired effect, which es-tablishes the fact that theywere justintroduced to fool and woo Indianvoters.The question thus also arises if thebill is necessary and important, whyit was not passed or implementedearlier. The important question thusalso arises that the very word com-munal is very unpatriotic, anti-na-tional and non-secular and againstnational integration and againstunity among Indians with variouscastes, creeds and religions.

LETTER OFTHE DAY

ONION price is increasing at analarming rate and has been sold bythe shopkeepers at Rs.80 to Rs.105per kg more than the price of thepetrol per litre in various statebringing tears to the eyes of theaamaadmi and the assurance fromUnion agriculture minister SharadPawar that prices will fall is noth-ing but bogus and utter nonsense.I strongly feel that the governmenthas lost their control over the pricerise and has totally failed in the du-ties and on the other hand thehoarders are taking full advantageof the festival season and lootingthe public for their gains withoutbothering about the problems ofthe common man. The urgentneed of the hour is that with Di-wali, the festival of lights just roundthe corner the government mustraid the hoarders who are doingblackmarketing and charging cus-tomers exorbitant prices for onion

and arrest them for taking the peo-ple for ride and at the same timeSharad Pawar, who has failed to-tally to control the rising prices ofall the essential commoditiesmusttake full responsibility and stepdown from his chair. Governmentmust take thismatter seriously andrelease more onions at reasonablerates failingwhich the day is not farwhen people who are alreadyangry with government will rejectthem totally for being anti-people.

� � �SUPPLY of onions from the sub-urbs is less and hence prices aregoing up. The short supply is dueto poor transport service fromNashik. Hoarding of vegetables isthe root cause of all the prob-lems. Recent hike in petroland diesel prices is also the causefor price hike. There is steep in-

crease in onion prices now. Usu-ally, vegetable prices come downdrastically during the onset of win-ter. During the monsoons vegeta-bles rot easily.Thus, prices are soaring and the

common man will be wonderinghow to make up for the suddenspurt in vegetable prices, espe-cially onion. Central/ State Gov-ernments are responsible forthe price rise of onions. People donot want to compromise on tasteand go for the best quality all thetime. Stitch in time saves nine istrue. The prices of all the vegeta-bles are touching Rs.60 to Rs.80 perkg. and the State food minister issilent and could not curtail onionprices touching Rs.110 in Kashmir.Congress Govt proved ineffectivein all the issues relating to price ofconsumer items as the party isbusy addressing the scams involv-ing their ministers. Hoarding of

onions is the root cause for all theproblems and there is no one tobell the cat and call a spade aspade.

� � �AFTER the soaring prices of onion,a number of vegetables and fruitssince long, now the price of potatohas started to soar. And on the LoCunstopped firing with light as wellas heavy weapons is soaring obvi-ously, to help the anti-India terror-ists’ infiltrations as themain part ofPakistan’s ‘foreign policy’ againstIndia. But our soft ‘Nero’ PrimeMinister Manmohan Singh is onforeign tour, playing the fiddle ofMoUs and agreements whenIndia’s ‘Rome’ is burning with allthe aforesaid rise in prices. Suchcreated circumstances, particularlyrelated to the soaring prices of thedaily needed potato, onion, veg-etables and fruits compel aamaadmi of India to believe stronglyof some nexus for funds for thecoming general elections.

‘RADIATION: the silent killer‘( ADC , Oct 22 ), this huge and seri-ous city health menace is indeedalarming especially consideringthe critical health hazard thismod-ern electronic communication fa-cility is causing to the citizens. It isfurthermore alarming to observethe pathetic degree of dilution ofsetting the radiation levels in India.Compared to the Swiss and Aus-trian regulations Indian radiationlevel has been set at 10% and 40%less with those of these two Eurocountries respectively, which isridiculous and thereby, needingimmediatemodification. In such acity of population of 17million, thenumber of users would be in tensof thousands. An observation byan IIT-ian has revealed that if thenumber of the cell phone towersbe increased the radiation of eachwould then be reduced and wouldmeet the desired level. Howeverthis would mean additional cost,whichwould be steep, so commer-cially the service providers wouldshy away until unless the DoT,India gets strict with the operators.Currently it is reported that Indiahave 1.5 million cell towers, whichneeds to be doubled to meet theradiation level to suit the accept-able limit. It is high time that theDot considers this more seriouslyand implement the revised regula-tion to avoid serious and therebykeep away this slow killing com-munication mode immediately.

— Bikram Banerjea,Mumbai

� � �THIS is with reference to the arti-cle ‘Radiation: the silent killer’(ADC,Oct 22) which gives themostobjective picture of the danger thatis lurking in the numerous cell-phone towers standing atop manyresidential buildings in the cityand its suburbs. The radiationfrom the cell-phone towers is ofthe non-ionising category which isnot capable of bombarding thepersons affected like the gammarays or X-rays. However, it is haz-ardous beyond a certain limit andProf. Girish Kumar, of the Electri-cal Engineering Department of IITBombay has carried out a lot of

studies of the same and points outthat the permissible radiationstandards of the Department ofTelecommunications (DoT) areten times more that that of somewestern countries— it is 4500mil-liwaats/ square metre in India asagainst 450 MW/sq.m. in othercountries abroad. Therefore, it isnecessary for the govt. to see thatthe radiation strength in thesemonstrous towers is kept strictlyunder control. Dr. Kumar has alsosuggested that the height of thetowers be reduced and preferablylocated in remote places awayfrom dense residential areas.

— Dr.V. Subramanyan, Thane

Killer radiation levels ought to be controlled

SAFE OPTION: A viable solution would be to reduce the height of cell phone towersand relocate them in remote places away from dense residential areas.

With over 16 years of experience in sales andmarketing and having worked with Fortune1000 companies in the UK and US, sportsenthusiast Zeba Zaidi has chosen GameOn

as a way to pursue her passion for sports. After graduatingfrom college, Zeba pursued a diploma in marketing andjetted off to London to start a career in corporate sales.But, for the national level skater, sports was always herfirst love. After moving back to India, she started GameOnIndia with her husband Adnan Zaidi, who is also the co-founder and managing director of GameOn. The duostarted Devils Circuit — India’s biggest and most difficultobstacle course. We catch up with her to find out moreabout her unique career choice and love for adrenaline.

Tell us about how you got started with GameOn?GameOn India was launched in February last year. Theintention of setting it up was simply to provide peoplewith a common platform to come out and pursue theirchoice of sport, without any hassles such as where to play,arranging equipment or getting enough people. GameOnIndia simply asks you to register for the sport of yourchoice and we do the rest.

Do you and Adnan have the same ideas professionally?Adnan is passionate about football and we share a love forsports and the outdoors. We work as a team and ensurethat we don’t discuss work post office hours in order tomaintain a good work-life balance. As professionals, weboth respect each other’s ideas and decisions and thishelps us eradicate possible riffs.

Any tips for other couples handling business together?It is not easy to keep the two separate! However, we do ourbest to not let one affect the other. I think it is importantto be open to different ideas and hear them out. We havelearnt to support each other.

Do you play a lot of sports? What are your favourites?I was a junior national level skater and I am a recreationalsports lover, so I understand the importance of sports andadventure. I believe that playing sports is not just fun, it isthe biggest de-stresser, so I ensure that GameOn offersthe best quality professional environment. I’m the firstperson to sign up for anything fun and adventurous, be it

tennis lessons, yoga or a run. In fact, we have a tabletennis table and putting green to keep the atmospherelively.

Tell us a little bit about the obstacle run series?Devil’s Circuit is India’s biggest and most difficult obstaclecourse run. The 5km circuit has been designed with thehelp of ex-Indian Navy commandoes. It has obstaclesconsisting of mud, freezing water, barbed wires andconcrete walls. The objective is to get out there and pushyour own boundaries and test your endurance. At thesame time, it also proves to be an excellent team buildinginitiative for corporate workplaces.

What was the initial response? Our first run took place in Ludhiana last year and it was asold-out event. We had never been to Punjab and had noidea how people would respond to our concept. But, wehad participants from various walks of life and agegroups. We even had a man cycle his way to and backfrom Chandigarh to Ludhiana to participate in theobstacle run! There was a 60-year-old grandmother whotook part and told us to make sure that the next event waseven tougher! The response has been overwhelming.

You were a junior national level skater! Would you goback to skating?(Laughs) I’d love to as I was passionate about skatingwhen I was younger. But now, I think I would want mychildren to pursue my dreams. I took pride in my talentand always wanted to pursue it further. However, as yougrow older, priorities change. Once I began my higherstudies, followed by my decision to take my career to theUK, I made it a conscious effort to keep sports as a vitalpart of my life. It became more of a hobby.

Is there an age criteria for Devil’s Circuit? Our primary target audience lies between the age groupof 18-45. Our aim and intent is to take more Indians, ofboth genders, outdoors and for them to start following abalanced lifestyle in which outdoor recreation plays apart. However, we had participants from all age groups inthe Ludhiana run, from teenagers to 60-year-oldgrandmothers. The objective is to get out there and pushyour own boundaries and there’s no fixed age to do that.

Zeba Zaidi, co-founder ofGameOn India, talks toRhea Dhanbhoora aboutstarting the companyand the popular Devil’sCircuit initiative

«hazel keeCh We like Hazel’s simple black dress

and as usual, her hair is beautiful

and luscious. However, while her base

look is great, her accessories let her

down. The animal print clutch, blue

shoes and aqua statement necklace

are all mismatched which makes this

look not-so-appealing.

« CELEB HIT OR MISS: GLYNDA ALVES GIVES YOU HER VERDICT ON THE FASHION ON DISPLAY THIS WEEK

«aIshwarya sakhujaThe leggy beauty shows us that black

doesn’t have to be boring. The

partially sheer top is subtly sexy and

she’s managed to pair it well with

shorts. However, that aunty style

handbag ruins her look a little. A

simple black clutch would have

worked much better.

«nauheed CyrusIWe’ve all been guilty of wearing our

negligee as a going out top, right?

No! The flimsy top with tacky fringe

detailing really looks out of place at

the event. The pista green skirt is

even more casual. Pair such a top

with a sleek blazer and trousers, if

you must next time.

«rhea ChakrabortyRhea’s hair, makeup and sun kissed

tan make her look sensational! While

we like this dress, it swamps her tiny

frame. And a few accessories could

have saved it from looking like a

cleverly draped sheet. Also, we

wished she would show off her lovely

tan by wearing a vibrant shade. 2. baCkless bra

The best lingerie for a backless dress is a backless bra.

www.buyundercover.com has a variety of options that

you can pick from. The silicone bras stick onto your skin

and stay there so firmly, you won’t even realise that you

have worn it.

Price `1,500

« THE TOP 5: PRODUCTS FOR A BACKLESS OUTFIT1. baCk sPray

For an even toned glow on your back, we suggest

Garnier’s Ambre Solaire. The natural bronzer and self-

tanning spray gives you smooth, evenly toned skin with

absolutely no streaks. And it dries instantly, so all you

have to do is spray it on.

Price `940 approximately

5. bath ball brush

Buy a back scrubber if you want to make sure your back

is scrubbed and buffed to perfection. A ball brush is

best because it is gentle on your skin and helps exfoliate

and scrub. You can buy one on www.flipkart.com.

Price `170

4. nIPPle PastIes

Is your dress too low to wear any kind of bra? Then these

nipple pasties from www.zivame.com are perfect. They give

enough coverage, are sweat-resistant, waterproof and

gentle on your skin.

Price `399

«shrutI hasaanWhile the cutout dress is bang on

trend, the skin show is eye-catching

and the focal point of the outfit. So,

it’s strange why Shruti would want

to add a further showstopper with

that bib-like neckpiece. It’s over the

top and makes her entire look

seem cheap and tacky.

3. baCk Cream

Pick up a small tube of this to really pamper your

back this season. This exfoliating cream from

Clinique is called Sparkle Skin for a reason. It will

polish rough and dry areas, making your skin look

smooth and polished.

Price `520

« 5 WAYS TO ROCK: BACKLESS OUTFITS

1. Cleanse & sCrub

To wear a backless outfit,

the most important thing to

do is smoothen your back.

This will remove dead skin

and make the skin on your

back glow.

2. bleaChInG & waxInG

Bleaching will help diminish

blemishes, spots, marks

and make your skin look

even and flawless. If you

have any noticeable hair on

your back, get it waxed.

Waxing not only removes

the hair but will also

eliminate dead skin from

your back, making it look

brighter.

3. sPa treatment

One week before wearing

your backless dress, oil

your back regulary as it will

nourish your skin. If you

have normal or dry skin,

then use almond oil. If you

have oily skin, then virgin

olive oil can work wonders.

4. CamouflaGe

Just before you are ready to

wear your backless outfit,

don’t forget to smoothen up

your back with a water

proof liquid foundation. It

will camouflage any

remaining blemishes, acne

and tan marks. Also, add a

little shimmer to your back.

When you apply a bronzer

on your back, use the

powder sparingly with the

help of brush to contour

your shoulder blades the

way you highlight your

cheek bones. We would

suggest you take

someone’s help while

applying makeup on

your back.

5. aCtIvate your baCk

musCles

For the ultimate sexy back,

you need some lean, strong

muscles under that

beautiful skin. One effective

cardio choice is rowing or

using a rowing machine.

The second choice for

developing an attractive

back is swimming. Each of

the four swimming strokes

uses every major muscle

group in your back. When it

comes to resistance

training, think ‘pulls.’ Every

exercise in which you pull

your arms down or back,

uses your back muscles.

Tubing, dumbbells and pull-

up bars work well.

Jessica Turakhia tells you about the pointers that you should keep inmind if you want to wear a backless outfit

>> Yes, you can get a back like PenelopeCruz without Photoshop, if you follow our tips!

Sole Mate Your feet are going to bear the brunt of all the running around and family visits this festive season.Rhea Dhanbhoora & Priyanka Singh give you some great looking shoe options that are also comfortable

tIPs & trICks

Want to know how to pick

comfortable shoes? Here’s a

quick guide:

l Pick shoes that are comfortable

for your feet. For example, if you

have high arches, you shouldn’t be

wearing boots and if you have wide

feet, you need to be careful with

closed shoes.

l Even if you want to wear heels,

an easy way to make them

comfortable is to choose a chunky

heel. Picking heels that are too thin

strains your feet which can be bad

for your feet in the long run.

l You may think flats are better

than heels, but some are actually

worse for your feet. You need

proper arch support and no

exposed seams that will bruise

your soles.

l Oval, pointed and square toed

shoes don’t encompass the natural

shape of your foot and instead,

force your toes into quite an

unnatural position. Wear shoes

with rounded toes instead.

l Have your feet measured so that

you can get the perfect fit.

Sometimes, you might not account

for an extra half or the fact that

one foot is bigger than the other.

Get them measured to find your

perfect fit.

Last week, my boss gave me an assignment that

I had to do along with a new girl who’s just joined.

We discussed the project among us and

informally decided who’ll do what. Today, she

came up to me with more than what she was

supposed to do. While I do see her enthusiasm

and appreciate it, the problem is that I had

already done the extra stuff that she did. So, one

of us wasted our time and it’s not something we

can afford at our office with our workload. She’s

new, so I do not know how to explain this to her

and I certainly don’t want to involve our boss in

this. What do I do?

— Meghna talpade, dadar

dear Meghna,

What you should do is let this go. Don’t talk about

this episode with her, but make slight changes in

your future communications so that this doesn’t

happen again. As you said, it’s probable that she

was just enthusiastic about her new job and

maybe went overboard because of that. The next

time you have a project with her — have a proper

talk about it, ending with an email that details

who’s supposed to do exactly what. If it was her

enthusiasm that caused this, then it won’t

happen again. But, if she suffers from the lone

wolf syndrome — a habit of doing everything on

her own — you need to sit her down and talk

about how to work as a team and why it would be

better for the both of you.

I’ve recently taken on a new job. I love the work.

This is exactly what I’ve wanted to do all along,

but my problem is that I just can’t seem to gel

with my new colleagues, even though they’re

quite friendly. They keep inviting me for breaks

and after-work coffee, but I keep saying no

because I don’t see how I can mix in with them. I

feel quite left out and really do not like this

aspect of my job. Is there any way out?

— amisha solanki, santacruz

dear amisha,

From what you’ve said, it seems like you haven’t

given your co-workers a chance. I’m not blaming

you. Maybe you are shy or just nervous and

unsure about how to proceed. What you need to

do is say ‘yes’ to when they ask you to hang out

with them. Don’t assume you won’t get along.

You can only say that once you’ve tried mixing

with your co-workers. Once you start talking to

them, we’re sure that you’ll find at least a few co-

workers who you can connect with.

« STUFF WE LIKE: FUSION BEATS

Ms. Know-it-all

No one, and we mean no one, likes a know-it-all. You might have views or information thatyou want to share, but doing so at everyopportunity, without much fact to back youup, will mean that your colleagues will takeyou less and less seriously. Instead of comingup with long-winding explanation for thingsyou don’t know, just say ‘I don’t know.’

strong sMells

It doesn’t matter whether the odour is good(perfumes, deos) or bad (body odour, smellyfeet), strong smells can really end up irritatingpeople. Remember that your colleagues have

to spend the whole day around you and theycertainly do not want the office to smell like aflower shop all day long. And, when it comesto body odour or smelly feet, that will notonly annoy your colleagues, but it will alsomake them doubtful of your hygiene, which isnot something you want.

the procrastinator

Not only does this annoy your team membersand your boss, this irritating habit can makeyou lose your job. Being a procrastinatormeans that projects will always be late or tooclose to the deadline. This will not beappreciated by the other workers working onthe project. And even when it’s a soloassignment, no one likes watching a co-worker whiling their time away doingabsolutely nothing.

the noise source

From talking loudly on the phone to yourphone beeping annoyingly every fewseconds, being a source of noise is one of themost common ways you could annoy yourco-workers. If you know that you’re going tobe getting calls or messages, keep your phoneon silent. And when you do need to take acall, do so away from where everyoneworks… your phone conversations aren’tsomething people are interested in and it’llonly ruin their concentration.

lacK of coMMunication

Promptly replying to emails, responding themoment your name is called out and beingclear with your instructions/questions…these are things that are expected of a half-decent worker and if you fail to communicateproperly, it will increase the frustration levelsof those who have to deal with you.

invading personal space

Your co-workers are just that — co-workersand not your buddies. So, unless it’s a really,really good friend, don’t go around sitting onrandom people’s chairs, going through theirdesk or ‘borrowing’ stationery and mostcertainly do not switch on someone else’s PCjust because you are bored. These are thingsthat can lead to an ugly fight or will makeyour colleagues want to avoid you. So, stop!

AArgh! Do your colleagues curse under their breath when they arearound you? Dev Goswmai tells you a few annoying habits ofyours that could be the reason for that

From workers who keepputting offassignments tillkingdom come, to

those whose style andmanner of talking irritateothers so much that they justwant to avoid that person…there are a number of habitsthat can be really annoyingand which you should avoidat work. It might be possiblethat you’re doing themunknowingly, so read thefollowing points and ensurethat you avoid these habits.

acting too cute!

Even if you love being around children,taking care of them can prove to bequite a challenge. Children are a handful and if they don’t like you, they

can get even more difficult. If you’re planningon babysitting, you need to keep a few thingsin mind. Read on to become a babysitter whochildren keep asking for and parents are comfortable leaving their tiny tots with.

Be creative

Taking care of children is not easy. Being a little creative will help you discipline themwithout coming across as too strict.Remember that you’re not their parent, sothey’re not going to take very well to beingscolded by you. Try to come up with fun and creative ways for them to follow rules and doas you say.

Be prompt

Even if you’re babysitting as a favour, think ofit as a job. Someone has asked for your helpbecause they can’t be there at that time, so youshould respect their time. Getting there ontime will make you more reliable and trustworthy as a babysitter.

take notes

You may take care of your own children in acertain way, but respect the parents’ decisionsand methods when you’re taking care of someone else’s children. Set aside a little timewith the parents and make notes of what theyexpect you to do. Bed time, food that isallowed and not allowed, homework, the medicines they take — every tiny detail

matters. You never know when this information will come handy.

Don’t make a mess

No parent wants to come home to a mess. It’sgreat to have fun with the kids — just makesure you clean up afterwards. Don’t leave toysstrewn around, clean up art supplies, switchoff unnecessary lights and fans and make sureeverything is in the right place. Some childrencan be extremely hyper and naughty and maybreak valuable items at home. Make sure youclean up the mess after ensuring that the childis unhurt. Every parent loves to come back to aspic and span home.

Be positive

Think of the sort of adults you were mostdrawn to as a child. Nobody likes a domineering adult who is constantly tellingyou what not to do. Similarly children do notlike it when they are constantly told what to doand what not to do. They value their freedomjust as much as we do. Children like positiveadults who are fun and full of life. Even if youhave to give them direction, try to be fun andencouraging. A great tip to get them to do whatyou want is positive reinforcement. Childrenwill be much more willing to accommodaterules when they think it’s a game — or said ina positive manner.

stay focuseD

Remember to keep your eye on the kids at alltimes. Also, remember that they’re looking upto you as a role model. So, watch your language, be careful about what you say on thephone, conduct yourself in a responsiblemanner and try and be a good role model.Children are very observant and impressionable and pick up things very easily.Because of their malleable nature, they canpick up bad habits just as easily as good habits.So babysitters, along with the children’s behaviour, watch your own!

Be active

Children are so full of energy; you’re going toneed to have boundless reserves of it yourself!Jump around, dance with them, play fungames — in fact, the more fun they have, theeasier it will be to get them to bed at the end ofthe day considering they’ll be exhausted.Moreover, it will create a very special bondbetween you and the children. They will also look forward to you babysitting them again.

take them out

Depending on how much the parents trust youand what time it is, you could plan an outingwith the children. Take them out instead ofsitting at home. Visit a nearby playground orgo for a children’s movie — just make sure youhave experience taking care of kids outdoors so that there are no accidents.Always carry a change of clothes, some liquidsand fun foods, a few bandages and a napkin. You never know when you might need these essentials.

« SOS: SOLVE OUR SITUATION!

“I just don’t know what to do! He is a lovely person and a good boss, but

his breath and spit-talking is intolerable. And, being my boss, I can’t just

tell him. Please help!”— Ms. XYZ

a) Oh dear! This is tricky. You could leave a bowl of mints on your desk or

order him lemon juice at intervals instead of coffee and tea. And, casually

wipe your face when he talks and hope he takes the hint. So sorry for you!

b) The subject of bad breath is very touchy for most. Leave him an

anonymous but kindly worded note.

c) Quit. Life is too short to be stunk up and spat on!

LAST WEEK: Chatter box Kyra should pick Option A: Firstly, the most

important person who has to like you is you. Yes, it is important for us to be

socially acceptable but talking too much is not like being unkind or making

other people feel bad about themselves. Don’t worry, just find people who

like to chat a lot too! Don’t forget to let them talk as well.

Dear grace,

A male colleague and I commute to and from

work. We get along great, but I have no

interest in him romantically. Last week, he

held my hand on the way home. I didn’t want

to be rude and was honestly shocked, so I

just let him hold it because I didn’t know what

to do. Now, he keeps holding my hand to and

from work. I’m really uncomfortable. How do I

get this to stop without hurting him?

— christine Khanna, chembur

Dear christine,

Be careful, if you don’t put your foot down

soon, you’ll end up marrying the guy just so

you don’t come across as rude. Hand

holding can soon lead him to lean in for a

kiss because your body language is leading

him on. Unfortunately, you’ve let this go on

for too long. The more time you waste not

telling him, the more you’ll complicate

matters. The next time he attempts to

reach for your hand, tell him you need to

talk. Say that you like him as a friend, but

don’t see a relationship with him. It’s likely

he will be crushed, so be gentle.

Playing hard-to-get is a very oldtrick in the treasure trove of loveadvice. This trick stands on thebelief that men love ‘the chase.’

The hard-to-get modus operandi hasbacking from science as well. A studysuggested that if you want a seriousrelationship, it pays for men and womento play hard-to-get. According toresearch, a benefit of playing hard-to-getis attracting a higher-quality mate withthe greatest commitment for a long-termrelationship. However, a lot of women killtheir chances of landing their dream manbecause they play too hard-to-get. We tellyou how to use this strategy correctly.

Waiting to call

old move: Let a pre-set amount of timego by before getting in touch. Mostpeople have their own version of thesewaiting-game rules (three days aftergetting the number, two days after thefirst date).Do it right: Call the person when youwant to talk. Waiting just for the sake of

waiting sends the message that you’re aplayer, insincere and unable to commit.Wait too long and a perfectly great matchcould simply lose momentum and fizzleout. But, if you mix up your call back time(consistent yet unpredictable), you’ll stillbe hard to get.

So many optionS

old move: Getting a man to accompanyyou to a place where you know that theguy you are interested in will be present. Do it right: Trying to get attention so yourcrush knows you’re a hot property onlysabotages your chances with him,because it basically broadcasts thatyou’re insecure and trying to making himjealous. Letting your crush wonder ifyou’re seeing someone makes youintriguing; letting him know you are keenon others, makes you unavailable.

a little over-intereSteD

old move: Tease wildly over email or cell,but act cool with physical contact.

Do it right: It’s so easy to be suggestivewhen you don’t have to see the person,but then you meet him or her and have tosee if the chemistry’s actually there. Limityour between-date communication,especially anything saucy. Then any in-person flirtation will feel genuine andexciting — not disappointing.

BuSy for DateS

old move: Pretend to have so manyplans, it’s impossible to squeeze in a date. Do it right: It takes a lot of courage forsomeone to ask you out, so it can be a bigturn off if your response is “Can we do ittwo weeks from now?” It’s great to haveno time — proves you’ve got a busy life,making you all the more appealing. But,if there’s literally no time to date, thenyou shouldn’t be dating at all. You cansuggest something like this: “I’m quitebusy, but I was hoping to catch this bandover the weekend. Want to check it out?”Not only will you make time for someonespecial, you’ll bond in new ways and getto know each other’s interests.

Standalone business (decorative paints)reported revenue of Rs 25.3bn up 18.2%. EBITDA grew by 35.3% as marginexpanded by 228bps to 18%. We estimate a volume growth of 15% duringthe quarter. Management indicated that growth in Tier II and III marketscoupled with some Inventory stocking has resulted in a strong volume growth.

Gross margin witnessed sharp increase driven by price increase taken inthe domestic decorative business (4% cumulative beginning April 2013). Thebenefit of lower inventory cost and price hike resulted in a margin expansion.The recent price hike offsets the rupee depreciation and hence operatingmargins will continue to expand YoY in H2FY14.

We continue to remain positive on Paint sector from a long term prospects.Management indicated that Paint industry has not witnessed any significantslowdown. Given the sustained growth in volumes coupled with expansion inmargin expansion, we expect valuations to remain high. We have revised ourestimate for FY14 and FY15 by 5% to factor in better volume growth. Thestock trades at 39x FY14E EPS of Rs 13.2 and 31x FY15E EPS of Rs 16.3.We recommend an accumulate with a one year price target of Rs 570 (35xFY15E),

Religare calls a ‘Buy’ on JK Lakshmi CementCMP: Rs. 68 Target Rs. 90JKLC’s Q2FY14 results were ahead of estimates as margins surprisedpositively. Nevertheless, this was a weak quarter for the company with

realisations down 7% QoQ, largely offsetting costbenefits. EBITDA/t at Rs 436 (RCMLe: Rs 392) wasdown by Rs 490 YoY/Rs 140 QoQ, leading to a 76% YoYdrop in PAT. We cut FY14/FY15 earnings by 19%/20%on lower volume and margin forecasts and roll over to aDec’14 TP of Rs 90. Maintain BUY as the weakperformance and expansion delays are priced in.

Lower realisations drive EBITDA/t lower: JKLC’spower/fuel and freight costs (per tonne) both fell by~8% QoQ as power consumption declined to 72Kwh (vs.5Kwh YoY) and fuel consumption fell to 729K.Cal/kg ofclinker (738K.Cal/kg YoY). Despite these cost benefits,

EBITDA/t fell by Rs 490YoY/Rs 140QoQ to Rs 436/t (est. Rs 392) largelydriven by lower realisations, and the EBITDA margin contracted 10ppt YoY/284bps QoQ to 12.5%. Owing to the muted operating performance, PATdropped 76% YoY to Rs 103mn. The tax rate came in lower at 12% due to MATbenefits. Maintain BUY: We cut our FY14/FY15 earnings estimates by19%/20% on lower volume and margin assumptions and roll over to a Dec’14TP of Rs 90 based on 4.5x one-year forward EV/EBITDA. We believe the weakoperating performance and delay in capacity expansion are already reflectedin valuations. With capex in place now, JKLC’s capacity is expected to morethan double from 5.3mt to ~11.3mt by FY15-end which should aid volumegrowth over the next 2-3 years.

Sunidhi calls a ‘Buy’ on RS SoftwareCMP: Rs. 151 Target Rs. 180Valuation & Recommendation: RSSIL continues to put significant thrust oninnovations and in building competencies through the Payments Lab andSchool of Payments. RSSIL has made fresh hiring of 53 candidates inQ2FY14 in order to ramp up its delivery systems. It is confident that giventhe improving market conditions and the potential growth in the electronicpayments industry, RSSIL will consistently tread a high growth trajectory.RSSIL is one of global leaders in providing technology solutions to theelectronic payments industry from India and this explains why it hasoutperformed the Indian software export industry growth in fiscal 2012-13and reinforced its growth journey. RSSIL has built solutions for theintroduction of new standards such as EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa)and emerging payment areas like mobile and contactless payments, whileenhancing the ability of its clients to manage their legacy systems. Thecredible performance has only reinforced RSSIL’s commitment to ensure thatthis time around, it is fully capitalizing on the next wave of growth for theIndian companies with Indian IT industry expected to grow 3 times in the next10 years. This coincides with the inflexion point for growth in the paymentsindustry. At the CMP of Rs 148, the share is trading at a P/E of 4.3x on FY14Eand 3.7x on FY15E. We reiterate BUY with an increased target price of Rs180 in the medium term.

India’s Mobile economy, theworld’s second largest market by

subscribers, will contribute aroundUSD 400 billion to the country’sGDP and create 4.1 million jobs by2020, a report by the global mobileoperators industry body GSMA saidyesterday.

The Mobile economy will alsolead to investments of USD 9 billionin telecom infrastructure, said the‘Mobile Economy India 2013’ reportprepared in collaboration with con-sulting firm Boston ConsultingGroup. “The Indian mobile indus-try is fast-paced and innovative, butit currently lacks the regulatory en-vironment to support its ambi-tions,” GSMA Director GeneralAnne Bouverot said.

The mobile ecosystem generatedabout 5.3 % of GDP for India in2012, directly supported 730,000jobs and an additional two millionjobs when points of sale and dis-tributors are included, she added.

According to Bouverot, the reportpredicts that by 2020, mobiles willcontribute almost USD 400 billion

to India’s GDP, create 4.1 million ad-ditional jobs and invest USD 9 bil-lion in infrastructure, with USD 34billion contributed to public fund-ing. However, an absence of pre-dictable, long- term policies in areaslike allocation of radio frequenciesis acting as a brake on investment,and the government’s target of in-creased rural coverage would besupported by a more flexible spec-trum policy.

This would be feasible particu-larly with the release of more fre-quencies in the bands below 1 GHzand the development of allocationprocesses that do not focus solelyon maximising short-term spec-trum fees, Bouverot added.

“India is on the cusp of dramatictransformation, both economicallyand socially, through mobiles,”GSMA India Director SandeepKaranwal said. The mobile industryis ready to work closely with thegovernment, as well as other adja-cent industry sectors, to accelerategrowth through mobile, increasingtechnological innovation in Indiaand enhancing the lives of the citi-zens, he added.

India Trims Exposure To USGovernment Securities


Indicating a further loss of confi-dence in the US dollar, India hastrimmed its exposure to US gov-

ernment securities to USD 57 bil-lion in August, the lowest infour months, amid persistent un-certainties in the world’s largesteconomy. The country has reducedits holding of American treasurybills by as much as USD 1.9 billioncompared to July when it stood atUSD 58.9 billion.

The US economy had been grap-pling with concerns about the re-cent shutdown and possible debtdefault in the wake of political im-passe, which was resolved earlierthis month. “The constant threat ofshutdowns and slowing US econ-

omy has lessened the overall confi-dence in the anchor currency, theUS dollar. So many countries in-cluding India are reducing theirown exposure to US Securities andhedging into alternative assets,”says Madan Sabnavis, Chief Econo-mist, CARE Ratings.

Sabnavis suggests that goldcould be an attractive asset rightnow to hedge. “The price of gold hascorrected to the level of $1300 peronce which makes it an attractivebuy for central bank currently,”he said.

India has been cutting down itsexposure to American governmentsecurities since May when it wasworth USD 59.9 billion, accordingto latest data from the Treasury De-partment. In April, the holdings

were worth about USD 55.8 billion.In May and June, the exposurestood at USD 59.9 billion and USD61.2 billion, respectively.

Meanwhile, China remains thebiggest holder of American securi-ties with holdings worth USD 1.268trillion in August, a tad lower thanUSD 1.279 trillion at the end of July.Japan has the second largest expo-sure at USD 1.149 trillion. Amongthe BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia,India, China and South Africa –India has the second lowest holdingof American government securities.In this grouping, Brazil’s holdingwas at USD 252.9 billion followed byRussia at USD 136 billion in August.Only South Africa’s exposure – atUSD 13.2 billion in August – waslower than that of India.

Mobile Economy To Contribute $400 Bn To GDP By 2020


Asset quality deterioration, short-age of capital, or slowing credit

growth could undermine theBRICMT (Brazil, Russia, India,China, Mexico, and Turkey) banks’credit quality, especially amid eco-nomic slowdown following years ofstrong credit growth, according to arecently published report by Stan-dard & Poor’s Ratings Service titled“Credit FAQ: Can The LargestEmerging Markets Banking SystemsWithstand Jitters About EconomyAnd Financial Markets?”.

“In addition, we remain con-cerned about the rising household

debt burden, given still low, al-though increasing, GDP per capitaand cyclicality of these majoremerging market economies,” saidStandard & Poor’s credit analystCynthia Cohen Freue.

The expectation of the U.S.Federal Reserve’s reversal of itsloose monetary policy has hit mostemerging markets, pushingfinancing costs higher andcurrencies lower, and reducing thepace of global and regional marketissuance.

In our view, the resultingglobal capital outflow will havevarying effects on banks in theBRICMT nations.

LOVIN’ IT UPPhimosisIf a man is unable to pull the skin on his penisto expose his glans penis, how does it affecthis sexual performance?The head of the penis (glans penis) is the partof the penis that is most sensitive to sexualstimulation and has the most nerve endings(neuro-receptors). A man enjoys sexualstimulation better if his glans penis isuncovered by the foreskin during the sexual act.Ideally, the foreskin needs to get retracted onan erect penis, enough to expose the whole ofglans penis. This may either happen on its own

on full erection or one may have to do itmanually before penetration. Both ways it isnormal and fine. If the retraction of foreskin is

not possible or painful, then it is a medicalcondition known as ‘Phimosis.’ This conditionrequires a surgery known as ‘Circumcision.’However this can be decided only afterexamining the patient.There is always a fear of person developing

paraphimosis (a painful surgical condition)during intercourse, if foreskin is gettingretracted incompletely.

Feeling like an amateurMy 22-year-old girlfriend has more experiencethan me (age 23) and I want to turn her on butI have only done it once and I feel like anamateur and I get nervous when things gethot. Do you have any suggestions?If you are talking about casual sex, then theheart is not involved, with the result that thereis a need to impress and score points becauseof a fear that you are being evaluated againstothers. If your girlfriend is also with you for acasual fling, then she could very possibly be‘rating’ your performance. However, if both ofyou are deeply emotionally involved with eachother and are committed to each other, thenthere is no cause for fear. Sex is beautiful onlyif it is the culmination of a heart connection and

even so, it is just one of the many ways to shareintimacy with each other. So, if your girlfriendtruly cares for you, she will love and accept youfor who you are and not for the type of sexualfeats you can perform. Relax and do not be in ahurry to consummate this relationship. Knoweach other better and let nothing less than truelove turn both of you on.

RANCHI: The fourth ODI be-tween India and Australia wascalled off because of rains at theJSCA Stadium here.Chasing 296, India were 27 for

no loss in 4.1 overs in when heav-ens opened up for the secondtime during the match.Thematch was stopped at 6.18

pmbecause of light drizzle whichlater intensified to frustrate boththe teams.There was some hope in the

middle as the rain had stoppedafter one hour and the grounds-men and super soppers werepressed into action.Themop-ping exercise by the groundsmencontinued for more than onehour but the two onfield umpirestook the call after inspecting theground at 8.30pm.The match was called off after

the umpires found out that theground was too water logged tocontinue the proceedings.By virtue of the abandoned

match, Australia continue to leadthe seven-match series 2-1.The fifth ODI between the two

sides will be played at the Bara-bati Stadium in Cuttack on Satur-day. India had begun their stiffchase on a positive manner withShikhar Dhawan (14 not out) hit-ting three boundaries while RohitSharma (9 not out) struck one asIndia were going at 6.48 runs perover when the match was haltedfor the second time in the day.Light drizzle had interrupted

the game for about 30 minuteswhen Australia were 28 for twoafter 7.2 overs.Earlier, Australia rode on a

record 153-run partnership be-tween George Bailey and GlennMaxwell to recover from a jitterystart and post a challenging 295for eight. Skipper Bailey (98) andMaxwell (92)missed their respec-tive centuries but ensured thatAustralia recover from a difficult71 for four to 224 for five throughthe team's highest partnershipagainst India for the fifth wicket.Brought in place of Bhuvnesh-

An avid traveller recalls his journeys

By Neil Joshi

MUMBAI: From what isknown about the Indian

master Sachin Tendulkar is hisremarkable journey of scoringtons and tons of runs. TheMum-baikar and veteran of 198 Testsrevealed another side of himselfwhen he spoke of him being anavid traveller at a function in thecity onWednesday.He said as a cricketer he has

travelled to many destinationsin India and around the worldbut appreciated a lot what thecountry has to offer. “Till nowcricket has allowed me to seevarious parts of the world andabove all you appreciate variousparts of India. India has suchbeautiful spots. I have travelled

all across India and I have seenmost of it and appreciate whatour country has,” said Tendulkarwho is the brand ambassador ofthe travel portal ‘Musafir’.

He added that travel wasn’tjust for fun but also to educatehis children about the impor-tance of various places and itssignificance. “My family are in aposition to have two-three holi-days in a year and sometimesthey are without me. It is justabout teaching them what Indiais all about and visit somereally important spots. Theyhave been to the Taj Mahal, Jal-lianwala Baug and the GoldenTemple. So all these places havean ever lasting impression and itstays with you forever andthis is what as a family wewant to do and we will continueto do.”Tendulkar who is preparing to

play his final Test series said thathe has had very few vacationswhere cricket hasn’t been a part

of it and chose London as aplace where he can share dualresponsibilities but recollectedhis journey four years ago to Ice-land where he felt close to na-ture. “Away from India, I like tospend time in London because Ican practice and spend timewith my family, so it is a combi-nation of both. If ever I have tospeak about my family holidaycompletely away from cricket,then it would be a memorableholiday in Iceland where I spenta week there. It was fantastic tobe with nature. And the funnierside the credit card stayed in thepocket because there was noth-ing to shop. All of you are to-gether and don’t disburse invarious directions shoppingaround and that was a specialholiday,” said Tendulkar.

How much ever Ithank the people ofthe country and thewell wishers it isnot enough, I takethis opportunity tothank you from thebottom of my heartfor all the support.

nightwatchman Steyn was three not out.Smith, who looked rusty in Abu Dhabi, hitspinner Saeed Ajmal for two consecutiveboundaries to bring up his half-century as wellas taking his team past Pakistan's total. In themorning session Pakistan's top-orderbatsmen were so dismal that number nineZulfiqar Babar top-scored with 25 not out andopener Shan Masood made 21. Of the sixboundaries in the innings, Babar hit three andMasood one.This is the 16th time that Pakistan were

bowled out for below 100 in a Test innings. Itbrought back memories of Pakistan's sametotal against then world number one Englandat the same venue in 2012, although theywent on to win the Test in the end. But aruthless South Africa, now the world numberone Test side, looked in no mood to concedethe early advantage as they now look set for abig first innings lead.Smith and Dean Elgar, replacing Hashim

Amla -- who failed to come back afterreturning home for the birth of his child --added 54 before Ajmal had Elgar for 23.Pakistan also removed opener Alviro Petersenfor 26 and Jacques Kallis (seven) on a daywhen Tahir gave Pakistan a dose of their ownspin medicine.Tahir, playing his first Test since November

2011, dismissed opener Shan Masood (21),Misbah-ul Haq (two) and Akmal (naught) offjust 11 deliveries to leave Pakistan in tattersat 60-6 by lunch. Born and brought up inPakistan, Tahir qualified to play for SouthAfrica in 2011 after marrying a local girl buthas since taken time to establish himself in acountry not known for spinners. Steyn,cleared from a hamstring injury suffered onSunday, gave no signs of discomfort as hedismissed opener Khurram Manzoor off thesecond delivery of the match and then hadYounis Khan (10), on pitch which looked goodfor batting.

PUNE RACES: HOW THEY RAN LAST WEEK

Native Knight: It shouldhave won easily

By Timur

NativeKnight is cut out for distanceraces. It has proved that morethan once – and it has alwayswon

carrying top weight.It did notmake it in theMahindraTro-

phy race. Distance 3200 metres. Idealdistance for Native Knight.How come it lost the race? Is it possi-

ble it did not have the luck of the race?Did jockey Trevor not ride it properly?When the field came to home, Native

Knight was in the rear. That was a mis-take on the part of the jockey. He shouldhave by then kept it at a striking dis-tance. Rodeo which was heavily backedwon in front. Trevor made his bid a splitsecond too late and it lost just by a neck.Just by a neck! It should have easily

won the race.Native Knight was the favourite in the

race – 60 paise and Rodeo too was heav-ily backed. The odds on Native Knightwent up surprisingly high – nearly 1.5.Native knight was not disgraced. Los-

ing by a neck – thanks to faulty riding –

has not diminished the high calibre ofthe mighty knight.Racing in Pune has never been so

competitive as in this season.There havebeen very few runaway wins. Favouriteshave won but not in all the races. AsMark Twain hit the nail on the headwhen he said “If all favourites win, therewill be no racing”.Pesi Shroff Dallas Todywalla and

Narendra Lagad have done exceedinglywell. It does not matter who becomesthe champion. The Red Mills award forracing champion will go to Pesi Shroff.He is way ahead of other trainers. Thisaward is based not on the number ofwins, but on points calculated on thebasis courted by the sponsors.The Poonawalla family appears to be

nowmore interested in running some oftheir horses – not only in Pune andMumbai, but in other centres aswell – inall classes of races. Dreams of You,owned by Dr. Cyrus S. Poonawalla, Mr.Adar C. Poonawalla, Mrs. Natasha A.Poonawalla and Villoo Poonawalla wontheD.N. Zodge Plate.Trainer: Pesi Shroff.

joyed differing fortunes on the for-mer's 64th birthday and thelatter's 100th start for Chelsea inChampions League action.Arsenal went down to their first

defeat since the opening day of thePremier League campaign, as lastseason's beaten finalists BorussiaDortmund beat them 2-1 at theEmirates Stadium. Olivier Giroudcancelled out Henrikh Mkhi-taryan's opener before Polishstriker Robert Lewandowskiscored the winner, although hewas fortunate to be on the pitchhaving elbowed Laurent Koscielnyearlier in the second half.After three rounds of games,

Dortmund top the Group F tableon goal difference from Arsenal,while Napoli also joined them onsix points after disposing of Mar-seille 2-1 in France. Wenger said hehadn't seen the elbowing incidentclearly enough to comment but

accepted that his side had notbeen at their best. "We have tolook at ourselves for not being ma-ture enough in situations like that.If you can't win the game youshouldn't lose it," he said.His Dortmund counterpart Jur-

gen Klopp, who watched from thestands as he serves a touchlineban, was delighted with the resultand joked about ruining Wenger'sbirthday. "I am sorry about this, re-ally. That is a problem of the date. I have a birthday in June when

there are no matches. I'm alwayson holiday!"

MESSI RESCUES BARCA INCHAMPIONS LEAGUEMILAN: Lionel Messi preservedBarcelona's unbeaten start to theChampions League by equalizingin a 1-1 draw at AC Milan while Ar-senal's 100 percent record disap-peared with a 2-1 home defeat toBorussia Dortmund in other mar-quee match.Atletico Madrid made it three

wins from three, thanks to a dou-ble from in-form striker DiegoCosta in a 3-0 victory at Austria Vi-enna, leaving the Spanish side onthe brink of the last 16 already tocontinue its brilliant start to theseason. Chelsea claimed the perform-

ance of the night by crushingSchalke 3-0, with striker FernandoTorres also scoring twice to put the2012 champions top of Group E.Back from a thigh injury, Messiscored from close range to cancelout Robinho's opener for Milanand keep Barca in charge of GroupH on seven points, two ahead ofthe Italians.Robert Lewandowski grabbed

an 82nd-minute winner for Dort-mund, last season's beaten final-ist, at Arsenal in Group F to bringthe English team down to earthafter a flying start to the PremierLeague and in Europe.They are joined in a three-way

tie on six points by Napoli, whichwon 2-1 at Marseille to condemn

the French side to a third straightloss. There were also first wins ofthe group stage for Celtic andZenit St. Petersburg while Baseldrew 1-1 at Steaua Bucharest.Milan and Barca were meeting

in Europe's top competition forthe seventh time in three seasons,so it was perhaps no surprise tosee the teams cancel each otherout. There was no shortage of starson show at the San Siro and two ofthem combined for Milan'sopener, Robinho exchangingpasses with Kaka before slottingpast Victor Valdes.However, Milan has never been

able to handle Messi, the Ar-gentina forward has now scoredsix times against the Italians, andhe equalized after collecting An-dres Iniesta's pass, evading KevinConstant and shooting into thebottom corner. The teams meetagain in two weeks' time, withBarcelona knowing a victorywould put them on 10 points andclose to the knockout stage.
