Farbigger than the stakes in the year 2009general elections, theturnover in the forthcom-

ing elections, scheduled inApril, is expected to crossRs.70,000 crore to Rs.80,000crore in the illegal betting busi-ness or satta bazar of India. The same wasaround Rs.50,000 crore in the year 2009.The bulk of odds were announced on the

evening of March 10 by top Indian bookiescurrently based at an undisclosed location inDubai. These bookies strongly believe thatBJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA)

may get close to themagical figure of 272 seatsasmore alliance partnerswill come to the foldat a later stage. Their estimate suggests that

theCongresswould face resistanceabove 75 seats and the UnitedProgressive Alliance (UPA) ledby it could end up with a dis-mal 100 to 105 seats.Apart from India, punters

would place their bets from all over theworld,especially from London, Pakistan, Middle-East and US, asserted the bookies.Odds on BJP's victory on 200 seats are

pegged at Rs.0.25 paise for every rupee bet.

The Mumbai University'sclaim of having begun lec-tures in its virtual classroom

seems hollow as its webpage stillappears blank.When the ADC triedto check the web link with the helpof the MU staff, it was found thatthe staff themselves could not ac-cess the links. Since last August, theweb link has not carried anyrecords of the lectures or seminarsconducted in the virtual classroom.The virtual classroom concept

was born on August 19, 2013 withfeatures like audio-video confer-encing, webinar, wed conferencing,digital writing, High Definitioncameras and internet connectivity.This classroom is used for con-ducting high-profile seminars, con-ferences, workshops, high-endacademic courses, training pro-grammes and creating open educa-tion resources along with runningopen and distance education pro-grammes. Themain purpose of thevirtual room is to facilitate knowl-edge sharing with students, any-where at anytime through theinternet. It is supposed to be mod-elled on the virtual classroom atHarvard University.As per the MoU, the seminars

and lectures conducted in the vir-tual classroom ares supposed to beavailable to the students of MU onits web portal www.mu.ac.in.The web portal displays a page

stating the configurations for theviewing the webcast. The configu-rations are much higher for a stu-dent to view it from a cyber cafe orfrom his home as the required up-gradations and bandwidth arehigher. On the other hand, onlyrecorded lecture series from videocassettes have been running on theweb portal, which too are unavail-

able due to the need for higher in-ternet configurations. The varsityhad stated that the virtual class-room will have 58 seats and will beconnected to an auditoriumwith acapacity of over 300, but none ofthat seems to be in place.Subhash Athavale, member,

Mumbai University and CollegeTeachers' Association (MUCTA)said, “After the virtual classroomlink was unavailable from our per-sonal computers, we checked itfrom the varsity's departments butwe were shocked that the depart-

ments themselves were unable toaccess the portal. Its just a PDFpage stating that the bandwidth istoo less for loading the web page.This is the sloppy work of MU thatit's letting go such a good concept.If only recorded lectures from videocassettes had to be uploaded, thenwhy did the MU bring up this vir-tual classroom spending corers ofmoney? Students from rural areaswill be unable to view these web-casts if available ever due to heavyinternet configurations”.Of the 700 colleges affiliated to

Mumbai University, 420 have al-ready enrolled for the digital sys-tem, A-VIEW; but none of thelectures from the virtual class-rooms have been telecasted live oruploaded on the virtual class-room's website yet.Dr. Naresh Chandra, Pro Vice

Chancellor, MU said, “Wheneverany department has to use the vir-tual classroom, they write to thevarsity and then the authorities de-cide upon it. Recently one of thedepartments has carried out a ses-sion in the virtual classroom. Soonthe lectures will be available andstudents can view the web-casts ofthese lectures. The varsity will alsoupload the recorded lectures of thevirtual classroom.”

Since March 2013, a clinical trialfor a drug in the form of eye

dropsmanufactured by aUS-basedcompany to treat viral conjunctivi-tis, an eye ailment that currentlyhas no specific treatment acrossthe globe, has been going at theBMC-run KEM Hospital at Parel.With the trial nearing its closure,the doctors from KEM, involved inthe study, say that people can lookforward to a promising drug thatcan be a quicker cure for viral con-junctivitis.Dr. Arjun Ahuja, Professor and

Head of Department, Ophthalmol-ogy said, “Viral conjunctivitis thatis caused by adenovirus lasts for sixmonths to a year and is verypainful. Right now, we don't haveany medicine to cure this type ofconjunctivitis. We give general lu-bricators and antibiotic drops. Wewait for nature to take its course asthe virus is self-restricting. But thistakes a long time, causing muchtrouble and suffering to the pa-tient. The drug for which the clini-cal trial is on, seems to be apromising drug. Patients are recov-ering from viral conjunctivitiswithin five days and nomajor com-plications or side-effects have beenseen.”Giving details about the clinical

trial, Dr. Ahuja who is also headingthe study said, “In the trial thatbegan inMarch last year, we had tostudy 30 cases.We have already fin-

ished 23 cases. The trial will end inJune this year and the reports haveto be submitted in July. People inthe age bracket of 18 to 40 were apart of this trial at our centre, buttherewas as such no upper limit forage. Gender was no bar except thatpregnant women were not allowedto be a part of the trial. The partic-ipants were told about the newdrug and the clinical trial. Theirconsent was taken. Also, this clini-cal trial is approved by the FDA as

well as the ethics of the hospital.KEM is one of the five centreswhere such a trial is being con-ducted in India. Pune, Hyderabad,Bangalore and Vizag are the othercentres. This a global trial whereforty to fifty countries, includingIndia, are participating.”When asked for the name of the

company manufacturing the drug,Dr Ahuja said, “I cannot give youthe name of the company at thisstage as it is to be kept confidentialfor now.”

question paper of SET C, whereashe had got SET D in the exams. Itwas later confirmed that the stu-dent had carried an extra set ofquestion papers along with himinto the examination hall. The stu-dent was then charged with copy-ing and handed over to the boardexamination authorities for fur-ther investigations.According to sources, the stu-

dent’s father is a policeman andwas taking the custody of the Al-gebra papers, when he took outone of the question papers fromSET C and gave it to his son. TheADC spoke to Laxmikanth Pandey,Chairman, State board, MumbaiDivision, who said “The examinerfound an extra copy of the ques-tion paper and the student he hasbeen charged for copying.

on the building terrace.Ac-cording to some of the resi-dents, theywere not informedabout a Reliancemobile towerbeing installed on the terrace,andwhen they inquired aboutit, they were told that the nec-essary permissions had beentaken. Their complaint at theOshiwara police station wasturned into an FIR and a caseof Cheating (420), Forgery(465) and forging documents(467) against four people wasregistered. The four wereidentified as Nirav Jataniya,Sagir Ansari and Arif Shaikhand his wife. Rami Singh firstnoticed the mobile tower inSeptember last year.Singh said, “I believed that

if 70 per cent membersagreed, it was enough, and Ipresumed the committee had

got the permissions. In fact,I’m also a committee mem-ber and I have three flats, butwas not informed about this.When I asked the secretary, Iwas told that the matter washandled by two committeemembers and they had takenmy niece’s signature”.Singh further said, “When I

spoke to Shera, Poonam Jhavarand some others, I found thatnone of them had been in-formed. Then, a fortnight ago,during the AGMwedemandedthat the committee show usthe letter. I was shocked to findthat there were three differentinitials against my flat num-bers. A few others too foundthat the initials on the letterwere not theirs”.Shera said, “I have an office

in the building and was

shocked to learn that thesepeople have allowed amobiletower on the terrace withoutasking me.When I sought anexplanation, I was told that Ihad put my signature to it.However, I found that it wasnot my signature and hencecomplained to the police”.However, Nirav Jataniya,

the society secretary said,“Neither me nor the otherthree against whom an FIRhas been regsitered havedone any wrong. We didn'teven know that the FIR wasfiled this Sunday. We justknow that we haven't com-mitted any crime”.Police Inspector (Crime)

Adelay of almost a monthhas been seen in the ar-

rival of the king of fruits – theAlphonso Mango – at themarkets. At present, only 500to 1,000 boxes of the fruit areentering Vashi’s AgriculturalProduce and MarketingCommittee (APMC) marketon a daily basis.Traders say that by this

time every year, they receivea good amount of mangoesbut this year is going to bedifficult for 'Hapoos' lovers.The first flowering of thefruit, which generally takesplace during the months ofOctober-November, suf-fered this year due to a sud-den drop in temperatures.Manish Jagwani, a whole-

sale trader at the APMCmarket said, “The change inclimate has led to a suddendecline in flowering. Thefruits have started enteringthe market only now”.Sanjay Pansare, director

of the APMC fruit market

said, “There were less fe-male flowerings, which gen-erally turn into fruits, thisyear. Pests have also playeda vital role in damaging thecrop.” Traders have claimedthat the size of the fruitwhich has entered the mar-ket is of the smaller variety.The weight of one mangolast year was around 200-350 gm and is 200 gm oreven less this year. The qual-ity is poorer, and the trade-mark golden shine ismissing as of now, but therestill is hope that the nextbatch will bring smiles onthe traders' and customers'faces alike.

The APMC market wel-comed the first batch ofAlphonso Mangoes fromDeogad in the first week ofJanuary this year, with con-sumers paying aroundRs.3,000 per dozen.At pres-ent, the fruit has enteredthe market from Vengurla,Malvan and Ratnagiri, andis sold between Rs.2,000 to5,000 per dozen.

Two months after the DawoodiBohra spiritual head SyednaMo-

hammedBurhanuddin passed away,the succession battle for the title of'Syedna' of theDawoodi BohraCom-munity seems to have intensifiedwith followers of the late Syedna'sbrother Mazoon Khuzaima Qutbud-din who told media persons that thelate Syedna had appointed Qutbud-din as his successor.In a press conference on Tuesday,

Dr. Abdeali Qutbuddin, a PhD fromUniversity of Manchester said, “Afterthe sad and tragic demise of ourbeloved and revered Moula, SyednaMohammad Burhanuddin Saheb,52nd Dai al-Mutlaq of the DawoodiBohra community, Syedna Qutbud-din Saheb revealed that SyednaBurhanuddin Saheb had anointedhim as his successor on the 10th ofDecember 1965, when he alsoanointed him as Mazoon, the spiri-tual position second only to the Dai.However, Shehzada Mufaddalbhaisaheb (second son of SyednaBurhanuddin Saheb RA), his broth-ers and other family members, tookadvantage of a severe debilitatingstroke that affected Syedna

Burhanuddin Saheb in London. OnJune 4, 2011, three days after Syednawas admitted to the hospital, theyunilaterallymade the false claim thatSyedna Burhanuddin Saheb in thatcondition called his three other sonsand loudly and repeatedly pro-claimed his second son as his suc-cessor.To further this false claim andto create confusion in the commu-nity they brought Syedna in this crit-ical condition to Mumbai 14 dayslater in an Air Ambulance and a cer-emony was staged where thousandswere present but Syedna could notclearly speak due to the effects of thestroke. We know this is a false claimandhave adequatematerials to showthat this was not medically possible.These materials will be presented inthe right forum and will expose thelies that were committed on thecommunity. Syedna Qutbuddin hasbeen in solemnprayer andhasmain-tained the dignity of the 40-daymourning as per religious beliefs.”Dr. Abdeali Qutbuddin added,

“Now that the period of mourning isover, in this time of confusion wherea false claim has been made by theShehzadas, it is time to come forwardto tell the truth publicly. Concretesteps are being taken to ensure thatthe Dawoodi Bohra community andsociety at large understand the cor-

rect position. The Dawoodi Bohracommunity has been synonymouswith the liberal and pluralistic prac-tice of Islamandhas contributed im-mensely to the social and economiclandscape of India. In last few yearsas Syedna Burhanuddin was unwellhis sons took control and have at-tempted to change the very fabric ofthe Dawoodi Bohras. People arebeing told not to think, to not edu-cate their daughters, to not sendtheir children to university, to pub-licly shame people who are astray, todonate large amounts without ac-countability. A community that hasbeen integrated in the secular andpluralistic fabric of India for over amillennium is today being driven to-wards isolationism, casteism andradicalisation. Syedna Qutbuddin inthe tradition of his predecessorsSyedna Taher Saifuddin and SyednaMohammedBurhanuddin ismakingall efforts to safeguard the true andmoderate identify of the communityagainst the forces of extremism. Hehas been prepared for this challeng-ing time to lead the community byhis predecessors, the 51st Dai andthe 52nd Dai. He is steadfast in hiscommitment to his Imam and toeach and every one of his commu-nity members who are his spiritualchildren.

round at Sion Depot beforebeginning a fresh round thatwould have taken Johnson toSion Hospital.At Sion Depot, Johnson re-

quested the conductor to lethim remain sitting in the busas he could not walk and thathe would buy a new ticketwhen the bus began anotherround. However, a new driverand conductor took over andthe conductor got angrywhenhe saw a passenger was al-ready sitting in the bus. AsJohnson explained his situa-tion, an argument followed.“Despite my request and ex-

planation, the new conductorslapped me. I then asked himto take the bus to the local po-lice station,” said Johnson,who filed a complaintwith theSion police after finishing hischeck-up at the SionHospital.Oredictably, the Sion police

have registered a Non Cog-nizable offense under 323IPC against the BEST con-ductor, while BEST officialscontend, “The passenger wasnot ready to buy a new ticketfor a second round. He isobliged to buy a fresh ticketfor a fresh round which hedeclined. After commotion,the bus was taken to the po-lice station.”

Punters may get Rs.2.25 forevery rupee if they bet on BJPwinning 225 seats. Bookiesare willing to give Rs.1.80 onevery rupee bet on chances ofCongress winning even 85seats.The odds of BJP's primeministerial candidate Naren-draModi becoming country'sPM is pegged at 0.47 paiseover a rupee and the same forCongress' scionRahulGandhiis Rs.6.75. Higher the odds,lesser is the chance of thosewinning. Betting rate onUttarPradesh (UP) politician Mu-layam SinghYadav becomingPM is Rs.11 and it is Rs.16 forMamata Banerjee.Taking a direct hit on the

activist-turned-politicianArvind Kejriwal-led AamAadmi Party (AAP), bookieshave discounted him for thesimple reason that the newentrant in politics has nofunds and lacksmanpower todeal with the gargantuan taskof managing poll booths andvarious such operations. Inaddition, Kejriwal’s inabilityto effectively run the Delhi

government is the chief rea-son being sighted againstAAP, informed the bookies.According to the few pun-

ters who spokewith the ADC,corruption is the singlebiggest issue which has be-come an Achilles Heel of theincumbent party. It will be amajor factor for the currentruling government's defeat,added the punters.Meanwhile, the bookies

also believe that J. Jayalalithaaof the AIADMKwould end upsupportingModi.

CITY 09

By Suyash Padate

After taking on the BJP andits PrimeMinisterial can-

didate Narendra Modi intheir saffron stronghold Gu-jarat amidmuch hue and cry,Aam Admi Party (AAP) chiefArvind Kejriwal will kick-startthe party's campaigning inMumbai today by commut-ing in a local train and anauto rickshaw.Living up to its common

man image, the party is all setto make the impact with adifferent style of approachingpeople. After landing at theairport in the morning, the45-year-old will catch anauto-rickshaw to go to And-heri Railway station. The for-mer Delhi Chief Minister hasdecided to travel in a localtrain to Churchgate too. Dur-ing this 40 minutes ride, hewill interact with commuterson board about their day-to-day problems.He will first at-tend the media meet at thepress club. Later in the day,hewill drive to different partsof the city in support of hiscandidates. He will use the

Eastern Freeway to reach theMumbai North-East con-stituency where social ac-tivistMedha Patkar is the AAPcandidate. He will then takeoff for Nagpur.It may be recalled that in

2012, Congress presidentRahul Gandhi had made asurprise decision during histrip to Mumbai to use the

local train, drawingmedia at-tention and remarks for hisattempt at impressive poli-tics. Today it's aam admi Ke-jriwal's turn to travel in thecrowdedMumbai local train.Significantly, the AAP is just

over a year old and is beingseen as a major disruptor of

the political scenario.Thoughopinion polls show that itmay not win many seats inthe national election, it's per-ceived as setting the agendaon issues like corruption. As aresult, the AAP has posedmajor challenge before all themajor political parties.

The overnight fire-fight-ing operation endedyesterday with Shiv

Sena president UddhavThackeray and MaharashtraBJP unit president DevendraFadnavis calling a truce overthe bickering between thetwo long standing saffron al-lies. But not beforeThackerayasked the BJP leadership toclarify as to who called theshots in its state affairs. Pos-ing a second query, hewanted to know whether theBJP would seek outside sup-port just like AAP's Arvind Ke-jriwal did post Delhi assemblyelection results.The firesweredoused in the evening withBJP's Maharashtra in-chargeRajiv Pratap Rudy clarifyingthat Fadnavis was at the helmof party affairs in the stateand that since BJP-led NDAwas in a position to securecomfortable majority, theydid not need anyone's out-side support.Later speaking to newsper-

sons at state BJP office, Fad-navis remarked that no one

can be a vote spoiler and thatpeople will vote for the Ma-hayuti only. He said that theSena was a natural ally of theBJP and that their threedecade old alliance was in-tact. Fadnavis stated that hecalled on Thackeray in themorning to reassure him thatthe BJP had not changed itsstand. “Some forces were try-ing to create confusionthrough media and hence Imet Thackeray for directcommunication”. He addedthat the BJP cadres will workin support of Sena candidatesas well.However, the aftershocks

continued for the Sena. Justas Thackeray announced thename of Shrirang Barne fortheMaval Lok Sabha seat, sit-ting party MP Gajanan Babarwalked out of the party and isreported to have joined theNCP camp. In the overnightdrama, Rudy and Fadnaviscalled on Thackeray to as-suage his anger. Thackeraystated that he would be call-ing on BJP president RajnathSingh to seek clarification onthe two queries.

Later in the afternoon,speaking to newspersons atSena Bhavan an unusuallybelligerent Thackeray in an

oblique reference to med-dling of former BJP presidentNitin Gadkari in state affairs,wanted the BJP to clarify as to

whowas in-charge of its stateaffairs. He said that the BJP-Sena alliance was formed onthe bedrock of Hindutva al-

most three decades ago. TheSena president reminded theBJP that during its time of cri-sis his party stood firm by it.He said that until now therewas no problem that the al-liance faced till the run-up tothis election.Without namingGadkari he said that somepeople were trying to playspoilsport when everythingwas going smooth and infavour of the Mahayuti.Taking potshots at Gad-

kari's attempts to hob-nobwithMNS, he remarked that ifthe BJP is seeking outside sup-port to form government thenwhat difference is there leftbetween them and the AAP.Without taking names, he fur-ther remarked that those(MNS) who are finished inpolitics are using Modi maskto find relevance.That will notget them votes, he added.Thackeray added that gettingpower is not like reality TVshows. Sources in the Senawere miffed over what theyfelt was Gadkari's attempt toprovide much needed boostfor revival of a downcast MNSjust days before the polls.

Lent is a special time of prayer, penance,sacrifice and goodworks in preparation of

the celebration of Easter. In the desire torenew the liturgical practices of the Church,TheConstitution on the Sacred Liturgy ofVat-ican Council II stated, "The two elementswhich are especially characteristic of Lent --the recalling of baptismor the preparation forit, and penance -- should be given greateremphasis in the liturgy and in liturgical cate-chesis. It is bymeans of them that the Churchprepares the faithful for the celebration ofEaster, while they hear God's word more fre-quently and devotemore time to prayer". Theword Lent itself is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words lencten, meaning 'Spring,' andlenctentid, which literally means not only'Springtide' but also was the word for'March,' the month in which the majority ofLent falls.Did the Church always have this time

before Easter?Since the earliest times of the Church, there

is evidence of some kind of Lenten prepara-tion for Easter. For instance, St. Irenaeuswrote to Pope St.Victor I, commenting on thecelebration of Easter and the differences be-tween practices in the East and theWest: "Thedispute is not only about the day, but alsoabout the actual character of the fast. Somethink that they ought to fast for one day, somefor two, others for still more; somemake their'day' last 40 hours on end. Such variation in

the observance did not originate in our ownday, but very much earlier, in the time of ourforefathers". (Eusebius, History of theChurch, V, 24). When Rufinus translated thispassage from Greek into Latin, the punctua-tion made between "40" and "hours" madethemeaning to appear to be "40 days, twenty-four hours a day."The importance of the pas-sage, nevertheless, remains that since thetime of "our forefathers" -- always an expres-sion for the apostles -- a 40-day period ofLenten preparation existed. However, the ac-tual practices and duration of Lent were still

not homogenous throughout the Church.Lent becomesmore regularised after the le-

galisation of Christianity in A.D. 313. TheCouncil of Nicea, in its disciplinary canons,noted that two provincial synods should beheld each year, "one before the 40 days ofLent." St. Athanasius in his 'Festal Letters' im-plored his congregation to make a 40-day fastprior to themore intense fasting of HolyWeek.St. Cyril of Jerusalem in his Catechectical Lec-tures, which are the paradigm for our currentRCIA programs, had 18 pre-baptismal instruc-tions given to the catechumens during Lent.St. Cyril of Alexandria in his series of 'FestalLetters' also noted the practices and durationof Lent, emphasising the 40-day period of fast-ing. Finally, Pope St. Leo preached that the

faithful must "fulfill with their fasts the Apos-tolic institution of the 40 days," again notingthe apostolic origins of Lent. One can safelyconclude that by the end of the fourth century,the 40-day period of Easter preparation knownas Lent existed, and that prayer and fastingconstituted its primary spiritual exercises.Of course, the number "40" has always had

special spiritual significance regarding prepa-ration. On Mount Sinai, preparing to receivethe Ten Commandments, "Moses stayedthere with the Lord for 40 days and 40 nights,without eating any food or drinking anywater". Elijah walked "40 days and 40 nights"to the mountain of the Lord, Mount Horeb(another name for Sinai). Most importantly,Jesus fasted and prayed for "40 days and 40nights" in the desert before He began Hispublic ministry.Once the 40 days of Lent were established,

the next development concerned how muchfasting was to be done. In Jerusalem, for in-stance, people fasted for 40 days, Mondaythrough Friday, but not on Saturday or Sun-day, therebymaking Lent last for eight weeks.In Rome and in theWest, people fasted for sixweeks, Monday through Saturday, therebymaking Lent last for six weeks. Eventually, thepractice prevailed of fasting for six days aweek over the course of six weeks, and AshWednesday was instituted to bring the num-ber of fast days before Easter to 40.

ASENSE of helplessness, or should I sayhopelessness, has overwhelmed theCongress party. Its leader and mascot

for the 2014 polls, Rahul Gandhi, has becomealmost invisible just as the last mile begins.Party circles are disturbed on several counts.One, the war room on Gurudwara RakabganjRoad, the nerve centre of the victorious 2009campaign, seems to have been disbanded.Rahul and his team don’t go there anymore.They are closeted in Rahul’s bungalow onTughlaq Lane these days. The rest of the partyhas no clue what they are up to or indeed,whether they are at all monitoring andmanaging the 2014 elections as they weresupposed to.Two, Rahul has downsized his campaign

significantly. He’s switched frommega ralliesto smaller gatherings and road shows. Often,he puts in only a brief appearance. At his lastmeeting in Rajasthan, he spoke for just sixminutes. Andmost of the time, the local Con-gress unit is not even informed that he’s onhis way.Three, he’s virtually stoppedmeeting party

leaders. A senior leader involved in negotia-tions for an alliance with a regional partycomplained to Rahul about not getting an ap-pointment. The Gandhi scion politely toldhim to meet Sonia. He said he wanted to beamong the people. The only communicationbetweenTeamRahul and the rest of the partyis via SMSmessages and emails. Occasionally,a telephone call goes out.Four, the expensive ad campaign featuring

Rahul is on hold. Party insiders are filled withforeboding of a repeat of the 2009 campaignwhen Rahul suddenly withdrew from thefront line halfway through the process andstopped the release of hoardings and postersfeaturing him. Ostensibly, the ad team hasbeen asked to go back to the drawing boardbecause the lines they came up with weren’tcatchy. But Congress circles are wonderingwhether it’s a sign that Rahul has decided notto lead from the front.The BJP had hoped to make this a US

presidential style contest between Rahuland Narendra Modi. Instead, Rahul seems tohave moved out of the frame. Modi may lookinvincible because there’s no-one to chal-

lenge him nationally, but he’s lost his maintalking point.

Shifting loyaltiesTHE Rajya Sabha faces an unprecedented

situation. Asmany as three of itsmembershave switched parties mid-course, whichmeans the RS secretariatmay have to take theunprecedented step of moving to disqualifythem. The three are: S.P. Baghel who left theBSP to join the BJP, former SP leader AmarSingh who recently joined the RLD and Ram

Kirpal Yadav who has left RJD and is slated tojoin the BJP.Yadav threw RS secretariat officials into a

tizzy by asking whether he could “recondi-tion” himself after quitting RJD. After be-mused officials figured out what hemeant bythe word recondition, they told him that hefaced disqualification if he quit. Yadavpromptly opened negotiations with bothJD(U) and BJP and is believed to have swunga Lok Sabha ticket from Patliputra fromthe latter.Singh escaped disqualification a couple of

years ago because he was expelled by the SPand the RS decided to allow him to retain hismembership of the House as an unattachedmember. But now that he has joined anotherparty, he no longer enjoys that immunity.The churn is breathtaking. Three familiar

faces could well be missing when the RSmeets again after the polls. And who knows

how many more will switch loyalty as MPslook for greener pastures in what could be awatershed election.

Battle between Generals?FORMER army chief V.K. Singh may havejoined the BJP but he seems to be havingtrouble getting the constituency of his choice.He wants Bhiwani in Haryana, where hecomes from. But the BJP is insisting that hecontest from Jhunjunu in Rajasthan.The argument that’s being put forward is

that Jhunjunu has a huge voter segment ofarmy and ex-army people and a former armychief would be an instant hit. The trouble isthat Jhunjunu also has a strong Jat presenceand Singh is a Rajput.But the bigger problem apparently is that

the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has decided tofield a former army man as well, Lt. GeneralRaj Kadyan, who is a known and outspokencritic of Singh. If Singh agrees to the BJP’sproposition, Jhunjunu will see an interestingbattle between two retired generals. There’sworse news for Singh. The BJP has never everwon Jhunjunu.

RSS in actionTHE RSS has decided to pull out the stops

to try and help Narendra Modi win over200 seats in the upcoming polls. It haspressed more than 3,000 swayamsevaks intoaction, one for every assembly constituencyacross the country. Each has been appointedco-ordinator for the constituency and his jobis to oversee the electionmanagement on be-half of the candidate. The swayamsevaks aredistributing pamphlets, doing door-to-doorcampaigns and picking out suitable peoplefor booth management on polling day. RSSchiefMohan Bhagwat has set targets for eachco-ordinator. He wants at least three man-agers for each polling booth.BJP circles are taken aback by the extent of

RSS involvement in the election. One sourcesaid that he has never seen the RSS do suchminute management. The question that’sbeing asked now is: what price will the RSSdemand fromModi if he does become PM?

Today when Arvind Kejriwal comes toMumbai, he will find a hostile scenario

unlike inDelhi where the Congress had be-come hugely unpopular. He did not have toworry about any other party there. InMumbai, he could perhaps take on theCongress successfully but he will be facedwith a strong opposition from two regionalparties – the Shiv Sena and the MNS. Hisparty workers must have already donesome spade work in the city and assessedpeople's perceptions with regard to theAam Aadmi Party.The Shiv Sena and the MNS are not just

going to just watch his antics here but alsoare likely to take necessary steps to ensurehe will make no headway. In the first place,Arvind Kejriwal does not knowMarathi. Heis an outsider who comes one finemorningand tries to grab some poll space. One canexpect from him a list of urgent plans toimprove Mumbai and help the commonman. People in the city are not so dumb asto believe that this stranger can do some-thing for them. He is likely to be a big flopin Mumbai.He was a big flop in Modi's Gujarat. He

had prepared a list of facts and figures toshow that Chief Minister Narendra Modi'sclaims regarding the growth and gover-nance in Gujarat were false. The AAP's can-didate from Gujarat does not seem to havea ghost of a chance to make it to the LokSabha.Over the last few months, it has become

clear that Kejriwal is not himself an aamaadmi. There is always a big difference be-tween what he says and does. For instancewhen he became chief minister, he askedfor two large bungalows with five roomseach. Only a couple of days ago, this manwho loses no opportunity tomake scathingattack on politicians' luxury travel by plane,went himself by a private jet from Jaipur toDelhi.

Monorail's just a joy rideAPROPOS to your front page storyon monorail. Yes, it is a fact thatpresently the monorail is nothingbut a joy ride. MMRDA should haveat least planned to include one sta-tion apart fromChembur in the firstphase. Now maybe only those whostay at Chembur andwork in the re-fineries or the RCF will be able touse it for transportation. Howevereven now, since it is run only up to3.00 pm, it cannot be used for re-

turn journey.TheWadala monorail station is ina godforsaken place with no localtransport available. Hence it cannotbe useful for a serious ride or realtransportation. They should haveconnected it toWadala railway sta-tion, then it would be a transportsolution.For another two years,MMRDA will have to wait for realtransport solution when themono-rail will be connected to Jacob Cir-cle in the second phase.Till then it'ssheer waste of taxpayers' money.

Why's Cong hounding Modi?RIGHT from the start of the pollcampaign for the Lok Sabha elec-tions, 2014, the Congressmen havebeen steadfastly maintaining thatMr. Narenadra Modi does not poseany threat to the 130-year-old party.If that be so, then why do all theCongressmen, right from those atthe grassroot level to the top eche-

lon of the party, never allow any op-portunity to go by in severely criti-cizing NaMo? The entire gamut ofthe “secular” party’s propagandamachinery seems to havebeen centred around onlyone entity, viz. the GujaratChief Minister. Does a "no threat"personality like Modi deserve thismuch attention so as to gethounded from all sides includingthe sleuths of the caged parrot(CBI), in addition to the political

war let loose by the "secularists"?— Arun Malankar, Santacruz

� � �THE Congress seems to have ex-hausted all the ammunition at theirdisposal withwhich they had hopedto corner and subdue NarendraModi-led BJP. So now they are backto their old oft-repeated gimmick,viz. to raise the bogey of the RSSbeing the organisation responsiblefor the assassination of MahatmaGandhi. How far they succeed intheir “fresh” offensive would beknown on the night of May 16, 2014or by afternoon onMay 17, 2014.

Shun corrupt candidatesTHAT'S really shameful - now onehas to select between a hundredcrore alleged corrupt candidate or athousand crore alleged accused.The Kalmadis and the Yeddyurap-pas have been conveniently given

tickets by their respective parties"claiming" their winning ability.Does the political parties of Indiareally think voters are fools or havethey taken them for granted thatthey "love" corruption and hencelike to be ruled by corrupt politi-cians. If we keep electing themthese parties will keep throwing upback to us the same lot (or sametype of thugs again and again). It'snow up to the common voters ei-ther to take this insult lying down orsend a strong denial of such candi-dates by defeating them.Our choicenow will determine the futurecourse of elections then be it gen-eral or parliamentary.

Raj playing political gameJUST because of the bitter relation-ship Raj Thackeray has with hiscousin Uddhav, his party MNSwants to teach Shiv Sena a verystrong lesson by fielding their owncandidate against them in the forth-coming Lok Sabha elections whichmay divide the votes of the BJP-SSand will benefit the Congress-NCPalliance which happened last timeresulting in Congress-NCP winning

all the Mumbai seats and in otherparts ofMaharashtra. I strongly feelthat decision of Raj to support BJP'sprimeministerial candidate Naren-draModi is a political ploy to createa rift between BJP-SS for his ownpolitical gain.The urgent need of the hour is

that Raj Thackeray and his partyMNS which has solid local people'ssupport should not get involved inany controversy and must contestall the 48 Lok Sabha seats to provehis worth once and for all.

Gandhi's killing irrelevant todayTHIS has reference to your editorial'Did RSS kill Gandhi' (ADC,Mar.11).It is hardly surprising that the courtsexonerated the RSS in the matter ofMahatma Gandhi's assassination,since no prosecutable evidencecould be found against them. Butthere is no denying that, whileNathuram Godse may not havebeen directly instructed by the RSS,he was nonetheless heavily influ-enced by their ideology. The realissue however, is that Gandhi's as-sassination has no relevance intoday's India. I do not understandwhy national leaders from bothmajor parties keep raking up an-cient history which has absolutelyno impact on the daily lives of ordi-nary Indians. It only serves todemonstrate that they are bereft oforiginal ideas and reluctant to dis-cuss the genuine concerns of thevoters. This is the unfortunatechoice before us.

In-cidentally, a film under this titlestarring Bollywood’s iconic celebri-ties Madhuri Dixit and JuhuChawla, has been produced, re-leased and is running successfully.According to Gulabi Gang nationalconvener Jayprakash Shivhare thereseems to be a huge resentment inthe organisation against Pal as shehad been playing in the hands ofthe Congress party and stoppedholding meetings of the groupand used to take decisions auto-cratically. Not only this, she con-tested Assembly elections onCongress ticket without taking anysuggestion from other members ofthe group.

Commendable work by NGOIT is one of the best Non-Govern-mental Organizations (NGO)whichwas registered in the year 1983 andworking towards the social causesof our nation. I visited this NGO,Vatsalya Trust along with my col-leagues twice in Kanjurmarg, and Ibecame very emotional and couldnot bear to see the little newly bornbabies being cared for by theNGO. Iam distressed when I think thoseparents who give birth to these in-fants and abandon them for no faultof theirs.This NGO runs an orphanage,

balwadi, child and parents guid-ance centre and also has a PatientAssistant Course and gives com-puter training to many childrenwho come to this NGO every yearand takes care of their develop-ment, schooling and other necessi-ties in life. Hats off to this NGO andits members who take care of thepoor and needy kids who come totheir NGO.

LETTER OFTHE DAY

THERE cannot be a more worthycandidate in the coming Parlia-mentary elections than ex-Infosyschief Nandan Nilekani but unfor-tunately he is fighting on a wrongParty ticket as the fate of Congresslooks gloomy even before the elec-tions have begun with exit pollseven forecasting theworst ever de-feat for the government in power.Nilekani is honest and capable,

intelligent and hardworking andour country badly needs personal-ities like him in politics and gover-nance. Infosys was started fromscratch to become a world classorganisation by Nilekani and hiscolleagues for whom hard workand commitment are a religion.Our country needs selfless menlike him to transform the fate ofyoung India into a great nation,one of the best in the globe.Congress rule in the last decade

saw a lot of scams and corruptionbut one hopes the Bengaluru vot-ers elect Nilekani on his own per-sona and worthiness. Irrespectiveof his political ideologies, people

like him should be roped by anygovernment that comes to power sothat he brings about a sea change totransform our country into a pro-gressive nation. Wishing Nilekanithe very best for the coming polls,hoping against hope that he wouldbe successful not just in the comingpolls but in politics as well.

— S.N. Kabra, Goregaon

� � �THE good news from the Congresscamp is that Nilekani has conde-scended to be its Lok Sabha candi-date from Bengaluru even at therisk of tarnishing his honest imageby joining a party of scamsters.Congressmay save itself fromulti-mate rout if it declares Nilekani asits Prime Ministerial choice. Thebad news from BJP camp is givingticket toYeddyurappa, thus pavingtheway for rehabilitation of AshokChavan and Kalmadi in Maha-rashtra. Its joining hands withPaswan legitimises Congress-Laluhandshake in BIhar.

THIS refers to 'Gavaskar tears intoFletcher' (ADC, Mar 11) – the for-mer celebrated opener who has10,122 runs with 34 centuries tohis name in Test cricket is ab-solutely right in calling for dump-ingDuncan Fletcher, the coach ofTeam India immediately andbringing in Rahul Dravid as thecoach. In fact this should havebeen done long back, before ourseries with the South Africans.This man is mostly dumb anddoes not communicate with hisplayers and is certainly not in thesame class as of John Wright orGary Kirsten. And, as Gavaskarhas pointed out, Fletcher has notbeen an achiever in internationalcricket to merit an appointmentas the coach of our team.Vengsarkar has also said thatFletcher has not been watchingour domestic tournaments to be

able to identify talent. The BCCIneeds to shed its 'phoren' maniaand give the job to one of our ownretired cricketers like Dravid who

is capable of doing a very goodjob quietly and is held in high es-teem by all our players.

— Dr.V. Subramanyan, Thane

Gavaskar is right, Duncan Fletcher must go

NO MERIT: Sunil Gavaskar has called for Duncan Fletcher's ouster as Team Indiacoach since Fletcher has not done anything remarkable to prove his capability till date.

Nandan Nilekani: Worthy candidate, wrong party!

NOT A GOOD CHOICE: ThoughNandan Nilekani is a honourable person,his decision to represent the Congress isnot right as the party has lost itscredibility due to scams and corruptpractices of its members.



CITYBy Vishnudas Sheshrao

In the last one month since aflight simulation facility openedat Phoenix Marketcity in Kurla,

nearly 600 people have tried theirhand in flying a Boeing 737, aCessna 172 or a fighter jet. And it isnot surprising that the fighter jetwins over the other two, making itvery apparent that lots of men re-main boys with a dream at the cen-tre of their hearts, to be a “fighterpilot”!Flight 4 Fantasy is an oppor-tunity to experience a flight in afixed simulator in a controlled andrelaxed environment. But the audioand visual system is good enough toensure that you don't get too re-laxed.Claimed to be the country'sfirst flight simulator open to thepublic in Bengaluru in 2012, this isthe company's second branch, andthe flight experience is realisticenough to cautiously enthuse thosewho have always wondered what itmust be to fly an airliner..The ADCwent there to experience it as well,thinking it was just another videogame.Two cockpit-replicas of smallplanes – the fighter jet and a Cessnawere visible in a showroom space.The cockpit of the Boeing was in-side, and in each case, staff in “air-line uniforms” waited beside thedoors to make the experience moreenjoyable and authentic.Our earlierexperience of a simulator was ofsailing aDelhi class warship used totrain Indian Navy sailors and offi-cers. It was gigantic and floating(not-fixed), with movements thatsimulated tides, so we were confi-dent that this experience would notbe toomuch to handle.The Captainbriefed us on various digital clockson the control panel, including aprimary flight display (PFD), modecontrol panel (MCP), navigation

display (ND), back-up instrumentsand dos and don'ts in cockpit. Thenhe repeated the exercise in the Boe-ing airliner.You get an option to ei-ther be the Captain of the flight orthe Co-pilot. Naturally, we chose toCaptain the flight with final com-mand and responsibility for all liveson board. It was a heady feeling.Weassumed charge and chose to fly to

Zurich airport out of at least 50other options of cities across theworld including Hong Kong, Dubai,Hitherto, Frankfurt, Amsterdamand Melbourne, that were onoffer.We switched on the systemand removed parking breaks. Theengines roared to life and wheelsstarted moving. The Co-pilot ex-plained the rule of gravity and in-

structed us to attain a speed of260km/hr to take off. We did. Thenwe relaxed, because apparently thisis the toughest task.An alarmsounded. Apparently, already wewere flying into the Alps so the co-pilot asked for suggestions to saveus all from crashing. We suggestedclimbing higher but were told thatwewere short of time, so on his sug-

gestion, we turned the angle of theflight, checked the topography andfixed our route.When we felt everything was al-

right, we put the flight on auto pilotmode and comfortably listened tothe co-pilot explaining the functionof Primary Flight Display whichshows airspeed, altitude, headingand vertical speed. Then he ex-plained the Navigation Display(ND) which overlays informationregarding aircraft's current routeplan, weather information, air traf-fic and restricted air space. Finally,he explained the Control Panel thatgives information about maps andcompass. After half an hour, wechose to land at Zurich airportmanually. We are afraid it was arather hard landing but it was safe.Error of judgement on our part.Itwas extremely realistic experienceas simulator was replica of cockpitand actual map of airport and ter-rain including Alpsmountains withfull topography details. But it was awonderful experience especiallysince no-one died.Others have al-ready discovered the joys of simu-lated piloting. Among them isVivekTaylor, an instructor in Australiawho flies small planes and who ishere on holiday. “It was a great ex-perience and awesome equipment”,he said, adding that he would beback.Celebrity actor Arjan Bajwawho had taken experience of theflight wrote in the feedback: “Amaz-ing experience and please open onein western suburbs.”

The most important aspectabout studentexchange pro-

grammes is that theyoffer a distinct and unpar-allel learning experience forstudents going beyond their curriculum.While industrial visits and other educational trips spon-sored by colleges and institutions are an integral part of stu-dents’ educational curve, exchange programmes offerthem an opportunity to see and understand how theirpeers and contemporaries at other insti-tutions get to learn similarconcepts.Many thus assume

that studentexchange pro-grammes are only effec-tive when conducted with an international uni-versity. This is definitely not the case. It is quitenecessary to understand that the viability andsuccess of student exchange programmesdoesn’t depend on going abroad to a for-eign varsity but is also about going toinstitutions within India as well. According to Prof. Asha Gala, Head

of Department, Economics, SIESCollege of Arts, Science andCommerce, exchange programmesbridge the gap between the socio-cultural diversity that exists acrossthe length and breadth of the coun-try. “Students get exposed to somany variations in culture, back-ground and language. Theseaspects cannot be replicated withina classroom and as such indige-nous exchange programmes withininstitutions across India are asimportant as international universi-ties’ oriented exchange programsare,” she explains.Whilst speaking of socio-cultural

background differences, it is also essen-tial to pinpoint the aspect of urban andrural educational differences. According toProf. Gala who’s conducted her share of stu-dent exchange programmes in varied urban andrural colleges across India, it often emerges thatcertain semi-urban and rural colleges seem to beequipped with better space and area allot-ment as compared to some of the top-col-leges within metropolitan cities.“Talking of infrastructural facilities,there have been manyinstances where I havebeen pleasantly sur-prised by the facili-

ties and opportunities avail-able to students in some semi-urbanand even rural areas. Opportunities,when lacking forcing students from

institutes in top-tiered cities to com-plain about,” she clarifies.

Apart from these facets, opportunities tolearn and imbibe from the different teaching

methodologies are yet another advantagethat students stand to get

from exchange pro-grammes. And thisaspect of learn-ing from differ-

ent teaching tech-niques is not restricted to

students but extends to teach-ers and professors as well.And while it is a lesser-known fact, it’s nonethe-less true that there areindeed several such

exchange programmes conducted by vari-ous varsities focusing towards enrichingthe existing qualitative availability ofprofessors.

Speaking of exchange programmesand prejudices, a recently releasedlist of the world’s top colleges hasgiven way to many questions beingraised about the qualitative stan-

STUDEN T EXCHA NGE PROGRA

MMES

Avinash Somanathan, ThirdYear Engineering Student,VESIT“In terms of engineering, exchangeprogrammes are mainly conducted atthe doctoral level and as suchdoctoral studies’ candidates from India

get to understand how the world is goingabout in research activities. Student

exchange programmes also help studentsto get more lucrative offers in the field of

their interest. Moreover, in addition, the wholeexperience is quite challenging as students get

to go beyond their comfort zone to learn importanteducational aspects. But though there are these

advantages, personally, I believe that studentexchange programmes need to be

conducted for project work rather thanfor learning purposes. This will

help students to gainknowledge on a more

practical level ratherthan on a

theoreticallevel.”


Student exchange programmes across educationalinstitutions are important in a number of ways and offer

students a distinct learning experience while providing opportunities tolearn and imbibe from the different teaching methodologies available to them,

The scholarship supports20 scholars in one academic year. The stu-dent would receive the scholarship for theentire duration of their undergraduatecourse at Cornell. However, there are cer-tain conditions specified for Indian stu-dents who could avail of the scholarship.The student must be a citizen of India and

You are certainly on the right track.

dards the top-ranked Indian institutesand the sustained presence of studentexchange programmes in the wake ofsuch a development.Prof. Gala however explains that the

rankings of Indian institutes wouldn’timpact much on the student exchangeprogrammes. She states, “Rankingsare based on certain criteria whichmay not be applicable to all regions inthe world. As such rankings of insti-tutes aren’t an indicator of the bestseat of knowledge.” She elaborates bygiving the example of how student-teacher ratio in a country like Indiacould affect its ranking in the globalplatform on account of the country’slarge population.While it still remains to be seen

about the continuity and sustainabilityof global student exchange pro-grammes, it can’t be denied that withinthe country itself the concept will find alot of takers considering the amount ofeducational-oriented development thatevery region in India can attest to.

Aunique ‘Art Appreciation’ exhibition washeld on March 11 at MET Rishikul

Vidyalaya (MRV). This was not just a regulardisplay of artwork. In fact, the exhibitionwas a window to the ancient cave paintingsaround the world, which were showcased inmodern light. Students from Grade III toGrade VIII had the rare opportunity toexplore their imagination and express theircreativity in an exceptional style.At first, the students were exposed to a

few prominent forms of cave paintingsacross the globe through observation,analysis and self-exploration. They thencompared the various forms of art and pre-sented their understandings of the same.Finally, the students converted their learn-ings to current scenarios. They presented

ancient paintings in contemporary form byincorporating modern elements into theartwork. For instance, world famous monu-ments were recreated through Warli Art;cave paintings from the Bimbetka caves inIndia, Paleolithic cave paintings from theLascaux caves in France and Neolithic pic-tographs from the caves of Egypt wereemulated into modern forms and displayed.Parents and visitors alike were trulyamazed at the extraordinary range of talentdisplayed by the children.Through this programme, MRV aims to

win the International School Award (ISA), abenchmarking project by the British Councilthat credits schools as having an outstand-ing level of support for nurturing global citi-zenship amongst the youth.

Movie: QueenStarring: Kangana Ranaut

Women are no puppets in India. This movieis a depiction of brilliance in acting and

the truths women deal with in some way orthe other in their life. ‘Queen’ is not only amovie, it is a part of the day-to-day life story ofeither you or me. This is one of those moviesthat you connect so well with. A girl who isstruggling with her pre-marital breakup, herchildhood love’s notion that she is not worthy enough of getting marriedto, a stereotypical Punjabi family, her wish to go on a lonely honeymoon toFrance (her dream forever and for which she has been saving her earn-ings), a friendship of the most unexpected type, it is a profound journeythat changes a woman’s life. The emotions, the pain and the drama, isenough for one to laugh, giggle and realise that the world is not restricted.A bridge from being no one to being a Queen. A trip every woman thoughtshe’d do. Kangana at her best providing not a single moment of boredom.


How do we teach little onesabout the cultures and festi-

vals celebrated in India andabroad? Giving them technicalinformation will not help with thereal picture, in that case gettingthem involved works wonders andthey get hands-on informationwhich makes it easy to grasp theconcept.Working on these lines, Oxford

Jiggly kids of Oxford InternationalSchool provided the children aplatform to celebrate harvest festi-vals of India and festivals of coun-tries like UAE, UK, Africa andKenya. Children from nursery tosenior KG started their prepara-tions from themonth of December.They made UAE pot paintings

and flag paintings along with dates,finger puppets, Africa and Kenya

handkerchief paintings along withYam hand puppets, Warli paintingsfrom Maharashtra, Gujarat band-hani prints on a dupatta, Rajasthanbedsheet prints, UK hat designsand pumpkin masks and projectwork of each of the Indian statesand countries.The little wonders also prepared

speeches on the harvest festivalwhich were well articulated. Thepresentation of the festival wasappealingly displayed by the artteachers.Finally, children dressed up in

costumes representing differentcountries, danced to the ever pop-ular harvest festival song ‘Meredesh ki dharti’, welcoming theirparents and holding the flags ofeach of the country and placards ofthe harvested crop in each of thesecountries.The exhibition had a great

impact on the children as theygrasped the concept, the language,the tradition, the harvest festivaland cultures of countries like UAE,UK, India, Africa and Kenya.

« HAPPENING SHAPPENING

Zahra VimanwalaH.R. College

Always mistaken for jealously, envy is oneof those sins that is according to me thedeadliest. Envy is something that crawls

into us and lives within just like a parasite. Aparasite that keeps growing and stays theretill it eats you up.Envy is the want, the desire for something

that one can't attain. It's the want of attainingsuperficial things that we can't achieve. Thereason that you can't have it doesn't matter,but that's the same thing that makes youwant to have more and more of it. That wanttill a certain extent is good but then it kills youand no one else. It'll affect you more thananyone. The world will never care about

what's happening inside your tiny little head.Our envy always lasts longer than the happi-ness of those we envy. So we shouldn't envy,we should overcome it. Envy for everyone canbe different things but in the end it's all thesame.It rots their souls, allowing them to justify

their greed until they believe these to bevirtues. Such people are convinced that thedoors of heaven will be opened only to poorwretches like themselves who go through lifewithout leaving any trace but their threadbareattempts to belittle others and to exclude –and destroy if possible – those who, by thesimple fact of their existence, show up theirown poorness of spirit, mind, and guts.Blessed be the one at whom the fools bark,because his soul will never belong to them.

A must-watch!

Idid my Masters in PsychologicalCounselling after which I specialised inarts-based Therapy. Using arts-based

interventions in my healing and helping pro-fessionals also helped me grow as a person.There is always tremendous scope forimprovisation in an arts-based therapeuticintervention setting.My career started as a curiosity towards

understandingmore about human behaviourand psyche and then I always believed that Iam a people’s person - talking to them morethan listening and my curiosity developedthe interest in pursuing a Masters inPsychological Counselling. I love the freedomto explore, experience, develop, improvise,scope of change using creativity in the bestway one can through every possible creativeart form, which my career provides.

Education is a great help.Everything I had intended topursue has helped me growas a person; also to developsubtle energy and corre-spondingly creative acumen.It helped mebecome morepositive andopen as a person. My train-ing days especially duringABT specialisation were full

of new experiences and challenges based onthe experimental approach using art forms asa therapeutic intervention with differentpopulations. My job profile as a CounsellingPsychologist and a Therapy Practitionerincludes: undertaking assessments, includ-ing assessment of mental health needs, riskassessment and psychometric testing; formu-lating a psychological explanation of theclient’s issues; planning and implementingtherapy; evaluating the outcome of therapy;establishing a collaborative working relation-ship with the client based on trust andrespect; writing reports and record-keeping;training and supervision of other psycholo-gists; multidisciplinary team-working; takingreferred patients, including self-referrals andreferrals from other professionals such asteachers, psychologists, occupational thera-pists and psychiatrists; making referrals to

other professionals; assessing the needs ofthe client by listening and providing guid-ance; working creatively with various clientgroups in a therapeutic setting; working in agroup or one-to-one setting, often as part of amultidisciplinary team of professionals;enabling clients to explore their art work andthe process of its production; assessing and

understanding the feelings or temperamentof others; constructively challenging thebehavior and attitude of clients; planning,designing and facilitating a schedule of activ-ities with individuals and groups; attendingmeetings and case conferences to shareideas, expertise and good practice; keepingup-to-date with administration: making

phone calls; writing reports and case notes;and drafting letters to other professionals;maintaining arts-based therapeutic spaceand materials.I didn’t have to make any major invest-

Time andmental and physical energy invested hashelped nourish the whole process.One can very well earn his/her bread andbutter by living through this profession.However, dreaming to materialise the desiresbeyond that doesn’t fit well in a setting likethis of a social sector.There is no count on years. It all depends

on how well; effectively and ethically youpractice your profession. As an establishedprofessional also, one can earn depending ona setting he/she is working in. In a corporatesetting, if one works as a consultant one canearn lavishly whereas working at a very grass-root level in a social setting doesn’t feed youthat well in terms of monetary acquisitions.Thus, considering the present trends it is pos-sible to earn really well through diverseschemes and involvement of corporate aswell, as a CSR (Corporate SocialResponsibility) venture.Job satisfaction is the biggest advantage in

this field. However, every field has its chal-lenges with solutions and a scope for changewhich helps in overcoming them. Thus, thereis nothing that is registered in my head whichI see as a difficulty. As it is an ongoing processit mends itself within that time and space.With today’s stress and lifestyle patterns

there is a growing need for psychologists. Theneed arises not only at the grass-root levelbut even in cities and corporate houses. Infact, many organisations now find the needand hire a psychologist as their staff to helptheir employees cope with various types ofmental health issues and problems.If someone wishes to be a part of this pro-

fession, it is important to take appropriatetraining and enter this profession with thatfeeling of understanding and awareness. Thisprofession is going to make you feel satisfiedin abundance. If you want to solely earnmoney this might not be the right professionfor you; however if you want to work with andfor people you are making the right choice.

The proportion of UPSC aspirantsfrom non-metro towns is compara-tively more than those of metrocites. But seeing the success ofthis exam which is very low, arethere any options available to theaspirants who come from smalltowns and have very less jobopportunities contradictory tothose in cities if they do not clearthis exam?Broadly speaking, the syllabus andcore content of UPSC is too broadand covers almost all the publicservice exams more or less.Moreover, the general studies aware-ness brought up during the prepara-tion of UPSC is more than enoughfor any public service exam at statelevel or any other exam conductedin India. So these students should tryin state services where many timethe age limit is also higher or othergraduate level administrative examslike SSC etc.The second option for these stu-

dents is that they can share andutilise their experience of learningand preparation of UPSC for theother aspirants in their own town ina visionary way. They can get intoparallel coaching institutes and thusshare the knowledge and ideas andalso the mistakes to be avoided byfurther aspiring students.The best way to utilise their

knowledge is to enter into the noblejob of teaching and one can explorea career in teaching at any level fromschools to colleges.Moreover pursu-ing your graduate degree is also theway forward.

You see both – civil service aspi-rants and the successful civil ser-vants at LBSNAA. So do you thinkthat there are some inbuilt quali-tieswhich are required to clear thisexam? Or can they be developedonce you clear this exam duringtraining?Well, there is nothing like in-built

qualities. According tome, any qual-ity, good or bad can be developed inand that’s what the training insti-tutes are for. Not only in civil servic-es but in any job or field you work,the qualities required for you towork there can be developed. Sothere is no need to be self-evaluativeabout this ‘quality’ thing.

Number of private institutes andtheir fees are increasing day byday. How much of a role do theseinstitutions play in clearing UPSC?Letme tell you a general thing aboutany institution and about any exam.‘An institution is no guarantee ofsuccess’. No institutewill give a guar-antee of clearing any exam and so itis true about this exam too.Institutes can show you direction,it’s up to you whether you are goingtowalk on it or not. The institute willprovide you with wings, but itdepends on whether the UPSC aspi-rants are ready to take wings and fly.

The number of attempts for UPSCjust increased by two. According tomany experts, this will be affectingthe effectiveness of the servicethe officers render after cominginto service late. Is it true?No, efficiency in civil service willnever be compromised. The length,breadth and depth of this exam is sovast that when one clears the exam,

it will be totally wrong to say thatefficiency will be at risk. Being atrainee at LBSNAA, from the traineeperspective there is nothing like thatand any officer once trained trieshis/her best not to compromise it.

What do you think is the right stageto start preparing for this exam?During graduation or after com-pleting? Should one start prepar-ing children from their schooldays?According to me, ideally preparingfrom the last year of your graduation

is the best way to start. Like that youhave already started to gain thematurity for the examand is the besttime for students also to learn aboutit. Moreover, there is a misconcep-tion that when you are preparing forcivil services you need to take a gapof one or two years and then you canqualify for it. I have seen studentswho start preparing for this exam atthe end of the examination and giveit without taking a break and theyhave been successful. So surely it’snot about the quantity of time, it’sthe quality of time that matters. And

to add to this ‘Systematic Planning’of syllabus is what fetches success.

Last year, the UPSC committeeadded one more GS paper ‘Ethics’though it was there in the Indiangovernance from the past fewyears. But what followed was theaddition of ‘EmotionalIntelligence’– being intelligentabout your emotions and apprais-ing emotions from situations andusing them for reasoning is inIndian Governance. Do you think itis quite a late entry in IndianGovernance as compared to thewestern world where it is knownsince 1991?Yes, it’s quite a late entrant. But whatcan we say ‘better late than never’.Because it is very essential for publicservants to be emotionally stablethan emotionally unsound.Emotions are responses co-ordinat-ed to changes in the environmentthat involve specific subjective expe-rience, activating relevant cogni-tions while intelligence we all knowis the ability that can be learned andbe used for problem solving. Butseeing the changing trend not onlyin India but in the world it is veryimportant for a public servant notonly to be physically and intellectu-ally competent but also emotionallycompetent to appraise any situationproperly in governance.

I save and invest for my betterfuture. Youngsters should savebecause they can’t always dependon their parents.

—Gitika Polen, Student

I would invest because investmentsgive you a chance to increase theirvalue. It does have a risk involvedas the market fluctuates almostevery minute but a correct studyabout the shares and market willlessen the risk and yes youngster'smust save or they should try to cre-ate a habit of saving.

—Pratik Ghatge, Student

I would like to save and investboth. Saving is good when I wantto buy something and wouldinvest in shares if money is notneeded urgently. Youngstersshould save if they want to buysomething and not ask theirparents.

—Sagar Thiyar, Student

I prefer to invest. No doubt savinghas its own benefits, but when youlook for multiplying your money,your option should be investment.Youngsters should save for thenear future as it is the starting oftheir career. They would require itto grow later.

—Ankit Shetty, Student

Saving is very important because ithelps you in the time of crisis.Another good thing about saving isyou can get an easier access to yourmoney rather than through invest-ments. Nowadays we are living in aworld where economic crisis is rightaround the corner. So inculcating ahabit of saving is preferred overinvestment.

Saving and investing is an important habit tocultivate for everyone. We asked city young-sters about their investment habits andwhether they actually find it important and nec-essary. Here's what they had to say...

Anushka GulabaniH.R. College

Heis your friend, your partner, yourdefender, and your dog. You arehis life, his love, and his leader. He

will be yours, faithful and true to the lastbeat of his heart. You owe it to him to beworthy of such devotion and that is whyit is said that dogs are man’s best friends.A dog is a great pet to have because it is

good for your health, they can make forgood guards, and they provide you withthe emotional stimulus you need. Theycarry positive vibes wherever they go.Because exercise is good for stress man-agement and overall health, owning adog can be credited with increasing thesebenefits. Pets can help with social sup-port. When you’re out walking, having adog with you can make you moreapproachable and give people a reasonto stop and talk to you, increasing thenumber of people you meet, giving youan opportunity to increase your networkof friends and acquaintances.Dogs are great protectors. Take a walk

in the park with your dog andwatch whathappens if another person or animalthreatens you, even playfully. Your dogmay well be in the attacker’s face, fangsbared, in a courageous act of self-sacri-fice to protect you. Your dog may guardyour house when you are asleep or away.If you are asleep, they might bark at the

slightest noise that they hear and waitclose by the door to make sure nobodyenters who is not supposed to. Apartfrom all of the above benefits, dogs areproactive in lighting up our mood. Icome home daily, only to a wagging tailjumping with joy at my doorstep and thatnever fails to make my day. As I write thisarticle, I am brought to the brim of tearsas I recall the time, my fondness for mydog grew. I had fractured my foot andwas lying in bedwhenmy dog jumped on

the bed, tucked her tail between her legsand slept by my side giving me no spaceat all. The following morning the dogwalker came to take her for a walk andshe refused to get off the bed. She con-trolled her bladder which is quite funnyconsidering the fact that she wasn’t pottytrained. However, that moment I knewshe was going to be there for me no mat-ter what. Whoever said that diamondsare a girl’s best friends never really owneda dog!

A great pet to have

BRUSH WITH ART 21‘Explosion of Love’ by Rajwant Kaur MannShe lets her painting do

the talking. She is her-self reticent, cool. At the

Nehru Centre we have anexhibition of paintings byRajwant Kaur Mann –J.J. School of Arts alumniand professor.

The artist says: “I thinkthat art is the domesticationof one's energy into a visualform. This energy has theability to energise the viewerwho has made a connectionwith it. An art work has thecapacity to converse withthe viewer and bring about

contemplation on his innerself.

“I paint non-representa-tional abstract art. For me itis limitless and has the scopeof crossing over time and ge-ographical barriers. Everystroke of colour is the ex-

pression of release of life andenergy from the strong holdsof darkness. My paintingsare spontaneous. They aremore like life – one neverknows what the next mo-ment holds in store. Thesense of touch fascinates asmuch as the sense of sight.The change in the visual ofthe canvas with the changeof light is like the everchanging nature.”

Francis H D'Sa says the'Explosion of Love' is a seriesof abstracts – oil on canvas –about the city Rajwant loves– Mumbai: the controlledchaos, the organised confu-sion, the urban landscape,the cheek by jowl existence –all come together in inim-itable style. There is also aglimmer of Pollock some-where in the fact that ab-stracts that are sometimes

not structured. These ab-stracts are sometimes punc-tuated with realistic lifestudies that are solid in theiranatomy; thin light andshade and depth. Slighttraces of the academics maybe seen but these are givenshort shrift with her defthandling of the medium inher abstracts.

The show is at Nehru Cen-tre Art Gallery.

‘Unbound’ by Sajal Kanti MitraUnbound is severence from the thread that finds the

wordly. It is a journey to touch the innards of silence andsolitude. This unbound is also about exploring possibilitiesof transcendence, the desire to see the unseen through themind's eye. There is always an inclination to explore the realcore. The artist Sajal Kanti Mitra has had an eventful journeythrough 25 years. He has held numerous art exhibitions in dif-ferent parts of the country. One thing is clear: He works infreedom, builds image after seing through his mind's eye.

The exhibition closed yesterday at the Jehangir Art Gallery.

BUSINESS 23

By A Business Reporter

India's merchandise trade deficitshrank further in February 2014to US$ 8.1 billion from US$ 9.9

billion in January . The improve-ment came about despite the fall inexports, as the compression in im-ports remained sharp. Ending a 7-month positive streak, exports inFebruary fell by 0.7%, seasonally ad-justed, compared to the last monthand were lower by 3.7% y-o-y. Thefall in part is explained by a strongerbase effect in the month.

However, even after stripping outthe effect of a strong base, exportgrowth was negative in February.This might have been driven by acontinued fall in the value of petro-leum exports, as crude oil prices av-

eraged lower at nearly US$109 perbarrel in February as compared toUS$116 per barrel at the same timelast year.

Imports recorded the sixth con-secutive month of double digit con-traction (fell by 17.1% y-o-y) inFebruary. This contraction wasdriven by weak domestic demandand restrictions on gold importsthat steepened the fall in non-oilimports to 24.5% y-o-y. The fall inoil imports slowed to 3.1% from10.1% seen last month.

And now CAD is expected to dropto its lowest level in six years. SaysCrisil Research “We expect CAD toprint 2.0% of GDP in 2013-14, thelowest since 2007-08, compared to4.8% last year. Merchandise tradedeficit for April-February 2013-14 is

at $128.1 billion as compared to$179.9 billion in 2012-13.

The sharp contraction in importsin this fiscal has been the primaryfactor that has contained the tradedeficit. Going forward, exports areexpected to pick up as growth inIndia’s export markets improve andpetroleum exports, which havebeen muted since November,bounce back. “

Crisil expects CAD to rise to 2.7%of GDP in 2014-15. After doubledigit contraction this year, importgrowth is expected to pick up. Goldimports will begin to rise once therestrictions on them are relaxed,and imports of oil, consumptionand investment goods will pick upas GDP growth improves, resultingin a higher CAD in the next fiscal.

Exports Shrink, But Trade Balance ImprovesCAD expected to drop to its lowest level in six years, says Crisil Research India’s Foreign Trade: February, 2014

EXPORTS (including re-exports)Exports during February, 2014 were valued at US $ 25688.94 million(Rs.159858.16 crore) which was 3.67 % lower in Dollar terms (11.47 %higher in Rupee terms) than the level of US $ 26668.77 million (Rs.143407.85 crore) during February, 2013. Cumulative value of exportsfor the period April-February 2013 -14 was US $ 282777.02 million (Rs1712422.41 crore) as against US $ 269859.25 million (Rs 1468159.38crore) registering a growth of 4.79 % in Dollar terms and growth of16.64 % in Rupee terms over the same period last year.

Cumulative value of imports for the period April-February, 2013-14 was US $ 410863.28 million (Rs. 2474626.88 crore)as against US $ 449788.89 million (Rs. 2446387.26 crore) registering anegative growth of 8.65 % in Dollar terms and growth of 1.15 % inRupee terms over the same period last year.


The Oil Ministry has sought legalopinion to ascertain if British

energy giant BP and Canada's Nikoare part of the arbitration initiatedby their partner Reliance Industriesagainst the government levyingpenalties for KG-D6 gas productionfalling short of target.

The near-doubling of gas prices toUSD 8 per million British thermalunits that will kick in from nextmonth will accrue to all producersin the country. However, in the caseof the main fields in the KG-D6block, it would be conditional uponRIL furnishing a bank guaranteeequivalent to the incremental rev-enue it will get from the new rates. If

it is proved that the company delib-erately produced less gas from theD1&D3 fields in KG-D6, the bankguarantee will be encashed, depriv-ing RIL of the incremental revenue.

Sources said while RIL agreed tothe condition, the exploration divi-sion of the Oil Ministry raised issuesabout BP and Niko Resources,which together hold 40 per cent inthe KG-D6 block. It felt since theCabinet stipulation was for the con-tractor that had initiated arbitra-tion, a bank guarantee cannot betaken from BP and Niko, whichwere not part of the 2012 arbitrationnotice slapped on the government.

To break the impasse, BP andNiko separately wrote to the min-istry, saying that RIL, in filing the ar-

bitration notice, had acted as an op-erator representing the interests ofall the KG-D6 constituents and theywere part of the arbitration. BP andNiko further stated that as a con-tractor to the production sharingcontract (PSC) they are party to thearbitration and RIL has representedthem as per the PSC and JOA,sources said.

Sources said the ministry has nowsought legal opinion to ascertain ifBP and Niko can become part of thearbitration with such letters. RILand BP say the decline in currentD1&D3 output to a 10th of the pre-viously projected 80 million stan-dard cubic meters per day waspurely because of unanticipated ge-ological complexities such as a dropin reservoir pressure and ingress ofwater and sand. RIL had draggedthe ministry to arbitration last year,saying the contract does not pro-vide for levy of a USD 1.8 billionpenalty for output not being in linewith projected production profile.

"Access to financing is an impor-tant factor for women-owned

businesses to become viable intoday’s economic climate. This seg-ment is a significant market opportu-nity for banks in India, and globally,as women entrepreneurs are provento be excellent long-term clients forbanks," says Jennifer Isern, IFC Man-ager for Access to Finance Advisory.However, financial institutions meetonly 27% of the financing demand ofwomen-owned micro, small andmedium enterprises in India, saysIFC, a member of the World BankGroup, in a just released a study.

The study titled Micro, Small, andMedium Enterprise Finance: Im-proving Access to Finance forWomen-owned Businesses in India,undertaken by IFC in partnershipwith the government of Japan, esti-mates that of the total financing de-mand of $158 billion (Indian rupees8.68 trillion) for women-ownedbusinesses, formal sources are ableto channel only $42 billion (Indianrupees 2.31 trillion). This leaves a

significant gap of $116 billion (In-dian rupees 6.42 trillion) that finan-cial institutions can meet throughproducts and services tailored forwomen entrepreneurs.

There are an estimated 3 millionwomen-owned enterprises acrossindustries, representing about 10%of all micro, small, and medium en-terprises in India and employingover 8 million people. The studynotes that there is sound empiricalevidence, particularly from devel-oped economies, that women bor-rowers have stronger repaymenthistory and present greater poten-tial for cross sales compared to maleentrepreneurs, making themroughly twice as profitable forbanks as a consumer segment.

The study recommends thatbanks can serve more women bylending to the services sector; about80% of women entrepreneurs runbusinesses focused on services. His-torically, banks have funded manu-facturing enterprises, and reliedheavily on collaterals to give credit,to the disadvantage of women-owned enterprises.

shortest format also. It'sall about getting moreopportunities. I amlooking forward to havea successful IPL," themiddle-order batsmansaid.Ever since making his

debut in the 50-over for-mat against Zimbabwelast year in August, Pujarahas only played two ODIs inthe limited opportunities hehas got in the 50-over formatand his non-inclusion for thedead Asia Cup rubber againstAfghanistan left many flabber-gasted.Former captain Sunil Gavaskarslammed the teammanagementfor not experimenting withthe playing XI by including

Pujara and medium pacer IshwarPandey in the match againstAfghanistan, and even went on tosay that the fear of reserve playerssucceeding over "currentfavourites" prompted the man-agement to play the same team.The Indian batsmen were

found wanting against qualitypace attacks in South Africa andNew Zealand, but the team man-agement decided not to tinkerwith the 'balanced' side. Pujarahas all the makings of becomingone of India's most consistentplayers in both forms of the game,provided he gets the opportunityto showcase his batting prowessin the ODI format, too. He aver-ages 55 in List A matches and hisimpressive strike rate resulted inmany double and triple hundreds.His solid performance in the NKPSalve Challenger Trophy 2012-13,where he hit two hundreds and afifty in three innings, led to hiscall-up for India's tour of Zim-babwe, but the Saurashtra bats-man didn't get enoughopportunities thereafter.With the focus on building the

team for next year'sWorld Cup inAustralia-New Zealand, Pujara

knows that he has limited time onhis hand."It's all about gettingmore and more opportunities. Ihave the ability to perform in allthree formats of the game," hesaid. Pujara has become a perma-nent fixture of India's Test side,succeeding Rahul Dravid at No.3.He has an outstanding Test aver-age of around 60, with six hun-dreds and four fifties.He has beensigned up by Kings XI Punjab forthe seventh edition of IPL."It's aperception. I have a goodODI do-mestic record. I have scored runsat an impressive strike rate in do-mestic matches. So, I don't thinkit would be a problem for me ad-justing to theT20 format," he said."InTwenty20, people expect big

shots from you. I need to be ag-gressive from the first ball. I haveto takemy chances. I have startedmy preparation and the good partis there's still a month left beforethe tournament gets underway,"he added. Pujara said he is happyto become part of Kings XI Punjabfranchise."I am looking forward tomy associationwith Kings XI Pun-jab. I believe playing for KXIP willgivememore exposure and expe-rience. I have always loved the

streets of Chandigarh city. I haveplayed quite a few domesticgames there and somewhere, Ihave this hidden love for the city,"he signed off.

India can repeat 2007 performance at this World T20: JoginderNEWDELHI: India can rely on theirspinners to reclaim the World

Twenty20 title, says Joginder Sharma,the hero of country's win againstPakistan in the inaugural edition's final.After a terrible road accident in 2011,

Sharma returned to domestic action lastyear and is now endeavouring to makehis way into the Indian team. India havestruggled in the competition aftersuccess in 2007 but the Haryana all-rounder feels now is the chance toreclaim the trophy. "You can't predictresults in T20s but we have anexperienced line up. We have strongbatting and it is a good fielding unit as

well. But since thematches will be inBangladesh, our spinners can play a bigrole there. We have a good spin attack

and I feel we have a good chance,"Sharma said. He had bowled the last overin the 2007 T20 final when Pakistanneeded 13 runs with one wicket in hand.After being hit for a six by Misbah- ul-haq,he eventually dismissed the Pakistanibatsman to hand India a thrilling win.Sharma said he has endured tough

moments in his career as he was laid lowby shoulder and ankle problems in2008. He made a good comeback in2009 but a car accident in 2011 againpegged him back. "But now I am fit. Asgood as I was in 2007. I am doing welland hopefully selectors won't ignoreme," he said.

THE BOLDENONE MYSTERY DEEPENS:NANOLI HORSES POSITIVE ONCE AGAINBy Timur

Will the RWITC stewards beable to hit the bull's-eyeand solve the mysterious

Boldenone case?The mystery has deepened once

again. For the fourth time, horsescoming from Nanoli farm havetested positive for Boldenone.Mr. K.N. Dhunjibhoy, owner of

Nanoli Farm explains: Boldenonewas injected into Bull's Eye duringits journey from Nanoli farm to thestables inMumbai. If this was reallythe case boldenone content in theurine should have been more.The alleged source of Bolden-

none, it is alleged, is at Nanoli farm.There is however no proof of this.Those in the know, talk about con-spiracy. Nobody has been able toexplain why there has been a con-spiracy. Does anyone benefit by ad-ministering Boldenone to horsesthat come from Nanoli.Thematter has been investigated

by the stewards. They have not beenable to reach any conclusion aboutthe mysterious happening. Thereappears to have been an opinionthat it is better to close down thecase. Now that once again the issuehas come up, it is better perhaps afull inquiry is held.The government, the HomeMin-

istry – is said to be keen about this.Charges and counter charges are

being hurled at one another but anypositive action seems to be con-spicuous by its absence.All parties or persons concerned

should be open to enquiry. Mr. K.N.Dhunjibhoy must be prepared tothrow open the gates of Nanoli for a

thorough enquiry to be held. One ofthe ways of doing is to test everyhorse at Nanoli. Boldenone remainsin the horse for over a year. Anotherway of looking at the problem is tofind out in which part of the horse'sbody, the Boldenone remains. It isan arduous task but it is better that– to avoid any kind of slightest sus-picion – all horses are tested. I amtold that Boldenone remains in thehair on the tail of a horse. It is bet-ter that Mr. Dhunjibhoy agrees tothe testing of all his horses.Boldenone could not have come

from nowhere.It is clear some human hand is

behind it.Both Mr. K.N. Dhunjibhoy and

Mr. Pesi Shroff are facing charges

against them. It is being said thatwhen the horses come from thefarm, they look fit as a fiddle. Thiscould be because they are beinggiven the right kind of food.I know a trainer who givesmilk to

the horses.A lot of questions are being asked

by curious racegoers about themys-terious happening. They may nothave any basin at all but they musthave positive answers:1.Why are horses from only NanoliStud Farm are being tested positivefor Boldenone?2. Are some interested desi or for-eign countries targeting a big namelike Dhunjibhoy and makingcharges without proof.

3. Should not – after horses fromNanoli has been tested positive – anenquiry be held with regard to therole, if any, played by the workersand other staff of the farm?4. There is absolutely no proof thatPesi Shroff is a “benami owner” ofthe farm, and yet why such thingsare being said.5. Is Pesi Shroff is involved at all inany kind of conspiracy?6. Is it only random test of horsescoming into Mumbai stables. Whythere was no such practice before?7. Is it not desirable that horsescoming from all farms should betested for drugs – as a precautionarymeasure? All sorts of drugs are inthe market and are easily available.

8.Who isUmed Singh?Was he in thestaff of Nanoli for several years?9. Every owner has the right to re-move horses from a trainer. Horsesfrom trainers Byramjee, Padman-abhan were taken away withoutany provocation.10. Pesi Shroff both as a jockey andtrainer – has always been clean.How then allegations are madeagainst him?11. How doesManeka Gandhi – an-imal lover – coming into the pic-ture. How can she have anything todo with doping cases in WesternIndia?12. Instead of allowing charges andcounter charges, printing accusingfingers at one another, is it not bet-ter to hold an enquiry and summonall those allegedly involved in themysterious happening and arrive atthe truth? The best authorities whocan conduct this special type of in-quiry is RWITC stewards them-selves?

K N Dhunjibhoy and [L] Pesi Shroff

Who did it? Where did theBoldenone come from? Whichcompany supplied it? Is it a factthat in our stud farms, anabolicsubstances are being used? Whatis happening now is: charges andcounter charges are being hurledat one another. It has becomeevident no proof of any kind isavailable. The stewards must, inright earnest, start again inquiry.This time, they should makeefforts to find an answer and ifthey cannot drop the matter.

The blame game is on

"(I've) never played against her,but she's someone that doesn'tgive you much rhythm. She'squite aggressive, but some shotsshe hits incredible for a long pe-riod of time. Sometimes they gooff a bit. But, if I'm speakingabout my level, it was nowherenear where it should have been."Giorgi will play her country-

woman Flavia Pennetta in thenext round after she beat Aus-tralian Sam Stosur 6-4 3-6 6-1.There were no other major sur-
