CRTC orders Radio India to cease operations by midnight Radio Punjab Ltd. and Sher-E-Punjab Radio also ordered to cease operations in Canada The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on Thursday ordered Radio India to not carry on a broadcasting undertaking in Canada, in whole or in part, without a licence. Radio India must also stop having its programming broadcast from an overthe-air transmitter located in the United States whose signal reaches into Canada. The CRTC called Radio India to appear at a public hearing on October 15, 2014. Among other things, the CRTC found that Radio India produces programming for broadcast on the radio at its studios in Surrey, British Columbia. The company has an agreement with Way Broadcasting Operating LLC, the licensee of KVRI 1600 AM, located in Blaine, Washington, to transmit the programming over the air from a transmitter that reaches into Canada. In addition, the majority of Radio India’s revenue comes from Canadian advertisers. Under the terms of the CRTC’s mandatory order, Radio India must cease having its programming broadcast over the air on KVRI 1600 AM by 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on November 13, 2014. It is also prohibited from carrying on a broadcasting undertaking at Surrey or anywhere else in Canada, except in compliance with the Broadcasting Act. The mandatory order does not affect Radio India’s programming that is streamed over the Internet, provided that the company complies with the CRTC’s exemption order for digital media. “Operating without an authority is

B.C. seniors lose $1.3 billion or more to scammers, mostly relatives or friends BY DON CAYO A startling number of B.C. seniors have lost a total of at least $1.3 billion in assets — and, by some estimates, several times that — to thefts and financial frauds perpetrated most often by family, friends or caregivers. This is the stark conclusion of a report on an extensive survey, done for Vancity Credit Union, that found not only widespread abuse of seniors, but also a widespread failure to recognize it for what it is. “When presented with a list of scenarios, 41 per cent of seniors in the Lower Mainland and Victoria regions have experienced at least one situation that can be classified as financial abuse,” the report said. “However, only 6.4 per cent of respondents self-reported being victimized by financial abuse, indicating that many seniors do not understand all the ways in which they might be victims.” The report identified three main types of financial abuse — monetary abuse (pressuring seniors for money, often an early bequest), property abuse

(conniving to get control of or to steal a senior’s assets), and legal abuse (manipulating seniors to sign documents to the benefit of someone other than the senior). The study cites earlier data indicating that as many as one senior in 12 is a victim of financial abuse, but concludes from its own research that the number is probably much higher. And it notes that with the growing population of seniors in B.C. — the number will reach one of every four citizens by 2030

— the problem has the potential to become much worse. Demographics — the higher percentage of immigrants in B.C., especially Metro Vancouver, than in most parts of the country — also heightens the risk. Older immigrants may be more vulnerable thanks to language or cultural barriers, isolation, immigration status or life experience. They may not know their rights, or trust the authorities who could enforce them. They may not know what community supports are available, and they are more likely to be dependent on the family members who are abusing them. If there is good news in the report, it is that there appears to be relatively low incidences of high-value property or legal abuse, as well as scams perpetrated by strangers. The most common abuses, reported by 19 per cent and 18 per cent respectively, are loans taken without a senior’s permission or not repaid, and

pressure to loan a friend or family member money. Next, in descending order, are: • Offering to do a job for a fixed fee, then not completing it or demanding more money (12 per cent); • Taking things from a senior’s home to keep or to sell (11 per cent); • Pressuring a senior to buy a gift for or make a payment for a family member or friend (nine per cent); • Forging a senior’s signature (eight per cent); • Misusing a senior’s credit card, bank card or bank account (seven per cent); • Fake prize scams (three per cent); • Pressure to remortgage a home (two per cent) or to sell it (one per cent) to free up money for someone else; • Pressure to change insurance beneficiaries (two per cent) or wills (one per cent). As for solutions, the main one the report puts forward is better financial literacy for seniors so they know when they are at risk of financial abuse. The relative paucity of successful scams by outsiders indicates that, at some levels, this is already working; the much higher incidence of family frauds indicates that the education job is by no means complete. So the report calls both for more research into the scope and nature of the problem, and for better targeted and more coordinated responses from governments, financial institutions and community groups.

Former Langley Township councillor Dean Drysdale is the Conservative candidate in the new riding of Cloverdale-Langley City. Drysdale, who served on council from 1996 to 2002, won on the third ballot over Mike Garisto of Cloverdale. Former Liberal MLA Dave Hayer was forced off the ballot after the second round, while Tako van Popta had to withdraw after the first round. Voting took place at A.J. McLellan Elementary in Cloverdale on Saturday. Drysdale has run federally before,

representing the Canadian Alliance in the Quebec riding of Vaudreuil-Soulanges in 2000. He was asked to run in that riding outside Montreal, as he is fluently bilingual. Last week, the Conservative Party told candidates Gurmant Grewal and Paul Brar that they had to withdraw from the nomination race. The reasons have not been made public. Drysdale will face Liberal candidate John Aldag in the riding in the next federal election, which is expected next October. The NDP have yet to select a

Rahul Gandhi takes on Modi Govt., says ‘angry people’ are running India Delhi:Taking a jibe at the Narendra Modi-led NDA Government over its ‘Clean India Mission’, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday alleged that angry people are running the nation.

Elections watchdog called on to investigate donations by Liberal Leader Raj Sherman By Darcy Henton EDMONTON — Elections Alberta has been asked to investigate political contributions Liberal Leader Raj Sherman made to his own party in possible violation of the provincial elections laws. Documents obtained by the Herald suggest Sherman exceeded the $15,000 limit for donations three times in the past four years and donated double the limit this year through corporations he controls, but Sherman says the rules are “fuzzy” and if he broke any, it wasn’t done deliberately. The donations were brought to the attention of Alberta’s chief electoral officer Glen Resler on Thursday by researcher Tony Clark, a former NDP staff member with an interest in provincial politics. Clark said disclosure statements posted on the Elections Alberta website this year show Sherman made $15,000 donations to his party through the Rajnish Sherman Professional Corp. and Empress Group Ltd. Corporate registry documents show Sherman is the lone shareholder of both corporations. Under the provincial legislation, two corporations controlled by one person count as a single entity for election donation purposes. However, if a donation was made on or after Sept. 29 during the 2014 byelection campaign, it would not exceed the limit because the limit doubles during election campaign periods. Sherman said Friday he doesn’t believe he has violated the Alberta Election Financing and Contributions Disclosure Act. “I, as an individual, haven’t

exceeded anything and neither have any of the corporations,” he said. “These are separate donations from separate entities. As far as I am aware, under the law I can do that.” Sherman, who still works shifts as an emergency room doctor, said the professional corporation was established for his medical practice and the Empress Group is his investment holding company. He said he was advised by Elections Alberta on Friday that the 2014 donation, if it is found to exceed the limit, can be returned without penalty since the year has not ended and the final results have not yet been filed. Clark also found disclosure documents that suggest Sherman made a total of $46,000 in donations to the Alberta Liberal Party through the Empress Group since 2011, exceeding the donation limit by $4,000 in 2012 and $2,000 in 2011. Elections Alberta said it will look into the complaint to determine whether an investigation is warranted, but spokesman Drew Westwater said Sunday it can’t prosecute offences that occurred in 2011 because there is a three-year statute of limitations.

Doctor sterilized 80 women in six hours at squalid Indian Twitter planning slew of new updates ‘health camp’ where botched surgeries killed 12 The women were poor, from villages in central India where the promise of a few dollars is all but impossible to resist. Many had babies so young they were still nursing at their mothers’ breasts. The deaths of 12 women after they underwent sterilization procedures this week have raised serious ethical questions about India’s drive to curb a booming population by paying women who get sterilized. The deaths also exposed the dangerous lack of oversight in India’s $74 billion health care industry. “We really are not paying enough attention to the quality of care in the public health system,” said Jay Satia, an adviser to the Public Health Foundation of India. The surgeon who performed the operations at the government-run “health camp” in Chhattisgarh state plowed through more than 80 surgeries in six hours – a clear breach of government protocol, which prohibits surgeons from performing more than 30 sterilizations in a day, a top medical official said Wednesday. We really are not paying enough attention to the quality of care in the public health system Gupta performed the operations in a private clinic that wasn’t even registered with the government and in an operating theatre should never have been used, said Dr. S.K. Mandal, the chief medical officer in Chhattisgarh. According to the BBC, dust covers the floor of the rundown hospital and there are cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and walls. A caretaker told the BBC that women rested on mattresses on the floor of the operating theatre before and after their surgery. The apparent cause of death was either blood poisoning or hemorrhagic shock, which occurs when a person has lost too much blood, state deputy health director Amar Singh said. The surgeon, Dr. R.K. Gupta, was honoured by the state government in January for performing over laparoscopic tubectomies, Mandal said. “He’s a very senior and respected surgeon,” he said. Mandal said he believed Gupta was under pressure to meet government-set targets for sterilizations. “The people from the health department set up some targets and we have to achieve them by 31st March,” Mandal said. A spokeswoman for the federal health ministry said she was not aware of sterilization targets for states. India’s government had said it stopped setting targets for sterilizing women in the 1990s. But doctors and human rights workers have alleged for years that targets exist – which would lead to

Indian women who underwent sterilization surgeries receive treatment at the District Hospital in Bilaspur, in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh, Wednesday, after at least a dozen died and many others fell ill following a similar procedure.

inevitable coercion in villages where most people have very limited access to both education and health care. “The government of India denies that there are targets but they’re clearly set and when it goes down to the district or village level that’s a real problem. Extreme pressure is the crux of the problem,” says Sona Sharma, joint director for advocacy at the New Delhibased Population Foundation of India. Mandal said that his state had a target of 220,000 sterilizations this year and Bilaspur, the district where the botched surgeries took place, had a target of about 15,000 surgeries. Sterilization targets have a troubled history in India. In the 1970s, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed a policy of forcibly sterilizing men who had two children. already fathered Opponents at the time said the program targeted unmarried and poor men, with doctors given bonuses for operating on low-income patients. Still, many experts caution that the sterilization surgeries can be a lifeline for poor women who are tired of multiple pregnancies or who want to take control of their fertility. It is convenient for many women. It’s not ideal, but it’s a one-time surgery and then you’re done “It is convenient for many women. It’s not ideal, but it’s a one-time surgery and then you’re done,” says Sharma. But she said incentive payments and government quotas make doctors pressure patients into surgery rather than advising them on contraception. “Women are not informed about the choices in contraception they have. It’s their right to know that other methods exist,” she added. Women in most Indian states are promised 1,400 rupees ($23) when they chose to have laparoscopic, or “keyhole,”

sterilization surgeries like those conducted in Bilaspur. The procedure is one of the most commonly performed minimally invasive surgeries, and is usually done under a local anesthetic. India has one of the world’s highest rates of sterilization among women, with about 37% undergoing such operations compared with 29% in China, according to 2006 statistics reported by the United Nations. About 4.6 million Indian women were sterilized in 2011 and 2012, according to the government. In comparison, less than one per cent of men choose to undergo vasectomies even though the cash incentive is higher at about 2,000 rupees ($33), says Sharma. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Workplace rules apply to MPs too Even a workplace that drips with symbolism and democratic

gravitas needs to make sure there is a system in place to deal with complaints of harassment and other bad behaviour between coworkers. Allegations of “personal misconduct” recently that prompted Liberal leader Justin Trudeau to suspend two party MPs — and rapid-fire criticism of Trudeau’s actions — brought into sharp focus that such a system is absent on Parliament Hill. That must change. Canadians in all kinds of work environments have intensified discussions in recent weeks about the treatment of women and, to a lesser degree men, in the workplace. What is becoming clear is the work world of 2014 is not nearly as egalitarian or harassment-free as many of us would have

Our Federal Debt:

The Elephant In The Room by Aaron Wudrick, Federal Director Federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver had some welcome news during the release of the fall fiscal update: Canada’s federal deficit is projected to finally be eliminated next year. With a surplus now expected for 2015-16 and an election under a year away, the political battle lines have started to be drawn. The government is promising tax breaks, mainly in the form of income splitting for families, as well as direct payments to families with children. The NDP is countering with an expensive new national childcare program, modeled after the failing Quebec system. It is normal and healthy in politics for there to be a difference of opinion about which direction the government should go. Contrasting policies gives Canadians clearer choices about how to

cast a ballot come Election Day. Oddly enough though, there’s one big issue – massive in fact – that doesn’t seem to be a big part of the discussion. It’s our federal debt. You may be surprised to hear Canada’s federal debt alone (which doesn’t count any provincial or municipal debt) is currently at around $613 billion. Continued on page 07

by the Liberal announcement. Several media outlets have reported that nine months ago, the Conservative majority chose not to act on a report from the Standing Committee on the Status of Women that urged Parliament to act on issues of sexual harassment in the workplace. That report should be pulled off the shelf and re-examined by all parties. Provincial legislatures should follow suit to ensure there is a process for allegations of misconduct that arise in those halls.

This is an opportunity to pluck positive change from an ugly situation. All parties in Ottawa need to put aside partisanship and create a process for hearing and evaluating complaints of harassment or misconduct. That could mean creating a position for a new and independent office of Parliament. It could mean adding to the responsibilities of an existing parliamentary officer. Other parliaments may have built a process into their day-to-day business. The speaker and an all-party committee of MPs should investigate what works. Ideally, MPs will create a system for dealing with complaints they never need to trigger. But in today’s climate, it seems all too certain that it will be put to use.

Punjab government draws flak for cancelling NRI sammelan

Our Federal Debt:

The Elephant In The Room Continued from page 06 That’s an increase of $154 billion since 2008, when the government made the unfortunate decision to plunge us into deficit in the name of fighting the recession. Canada’s debt is more than double the amount of all the money the federal government spends in a single year. Six years later, the light is at the end of the tunnel, and we’re close to being able to say we are no longer adding any new charges to the national credit card. Great news – except that doesn’t change the fact we’ve still got an eye-watering balance of $613 billion to pay off, which is racking up interest by the minute. Thankfully, interest rates are low for the moment, but even now it costs more than $28 billion a year to

service our debt. That’s $28 billion that could have been spent on other things important to Canadians – or put back in their pockets. It is a strange irony that the same politicians, who often talk about the need to invest in government programs, or to protect the environment, justify their policies as benefitting “future generations,” and yet they have little to say about our public debt load. They speak about fighting unfairness and injustice – but not when it comes to the unfairness and injustice of future generations being stuck with the bills being run up by those of us consuming today. The government, to their credit, has made some positive statements about reducing the federal debt; by

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, US-based Gill, a native of Mullanpur village in Ludhiana district, said the Akali-BJP government merely paid lip service to NRI interests and had failed to protect NRI property in Punjab. “The NRI portfolio has been with the ruling family almost exclusively since 2007. However, the chief minister and the deputy CM have failed to even understand NRI issues, let alone provide any effective remedy,” Gill said. He said the ruling alliance had used the NRI Sammelan merely to make hollow promises that were never fulfilled.

pledging to get it down to below 25 per cent of our GDP by 2021 (it currently stands at around 32 per cent). This isn’t good enough. Arguably, these targets could be met by modest growth in the economy, without one red cent going towards debt repayment. The more aggressively we tackle the debt, the more money we free up for other things – whether government spending or (hopefully) tax relief, and the less burden we leave on future generations. There is no hiding from the elephant in the room. Whatever direction future governments decide to take, the size of our debt will affect their ability to pay for government services. Over the next year, the public should demand all parties come clean about what their plans are to tackle our debt. The well-being of future generations depends on it.

there. Manpreet said the SAD no longer had representation of global Punjabis. The people at large are fed up with this government and the NRIs are no exception, he added. He pointed out that last year’s NRI Sammelan did not witness much enthusiasm and the participation was much less. “This was because of the fact that the state government had miserably failed to keep any of the promises made during earlier sammelans,” said Manpreet. Gurmit Singh Gill, president (Punjab) of the Indian National Overseas Congress (US), on Tuesday accused the Punjab government of not protecting the interests of non-resident Indians (NRIs).

Hindustan Time Slamming the Punjab government for not announcing the schedule for this year’s NRI Sammelan, People’s Party of Punjab (PPP) chief Manpreet Singh Badal on Tuesday said it showed the moral bankruptcy of the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leadership which didn’t want to face global Punjabis for its failure to keep the promises made during previous such events. Manpreet said the SAD did not dare to participate in any public function in North America and Europe. He recalled that SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal had to cancel his Canada tour last year following threats of protests by Punjabis

the makers. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who wrote and directed the 2014’s ‘Lego Movie’, which was one of the highest grossing film at the US box office and had earned over 468 million dollars worldwide, said that it was important that their work inspired women as well, the BBC reported. The pair, who’ll be writing and producing the sequel as well, which had been slated for 2018, didn’t reveal characters, but added that the follow-up would have “more female stuff.” The original film had featured a male protagonist Emmet Brickowski (voiced by Chris Pratt), a construction worker whose “love interest” is Wyldestyle (Elizabeth Banks), a freedom fighter with “a strong, independent streak.” Miller said that they hadn’t really figured out the plot outline for the sequel, but were certain that many broad elements would change by the time the movie comes out.

Horoscope

Apna Roots, November 14th, 2014

The power struggles that arise this week almost entirely will involve authority figures - parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police. Many Aries people have a short fuse. You value your independence (Mar.2121- April April 19) 19) and you don't like to be told what to do. (Mar. And you can be bossy! But hey, you value your peace of mind and want cooperation from others. If you have been working under intolerable conditions, don't wait until they are impossible. Make the change now. Introduce reforms in your life. Don't wait until you are ready to snap. If you are upset with authority figures, this is not the week to get them to listen to you. Stay chill.

Use all your Leo charm and charisma to keep the peace at work this week because coworkers will easily chafe at anything they could construe as an insult or a slight. And of course, you will feel the same way. Angry (July 23-Aug 22) arguments will not give you any satisfaction. The fact is that anger has only one purpose, (July 23-Aug 22) which is to create misery for everyone. romance. You hav Someone else yo (Even if you wanted to plan a great revenge - you need a clear mind to do so; and anger only clouds one's thinking.) Instead use this same energy to accomplish lots of hard work. This will give you a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Physical effort is a great way to channel this aggressive energy. Good luck.

Quarrels about money, cash flow, possessions or something you own might easily erupt this week. You might have a big difference of opinion about something that is job-related, especially if it impacts your earnings. Do not overreact because what is the point of winning the battle if you lose the war? Don't quit your day job. Guard against (Nov 22Dec 21) (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21 hasty impulses. Do your best to keep a low profile until this ruthless, intense energy that is floating around this week blows over. By Saturday, things are mellow again and you can celebrate!

his is an accident-prone week for your kids or children in your care so be careful. It's also an accident-prone time for sports both amateur and professional. Take precautions and avoid dangerous situations. This same unpredictable energy is also tough on romantic relationships, which will have flare (Aug. 23 ups and arguments. One way to use this intense energy is to tackle creative projects Sept. 22) with vigour and physicality. You can also blow off steam by working out at a gym - but don't overdo it. Parents will need to be especially patient with children because these relationships will be challenging.Fortunately, your ability to communicate is excellent right now. You are affected by your environment more than any other side. Lighting, smells, colours actually influence you. But what influences you the most are the vibes of those people around you. If people are angry and aggressive, this shatters your nervous system and peace of mind. This week it's all too (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) easy to have domestic arguments and upsets (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) at home. This could be because of renovations, repairs and an insane situation that is tough to cope with; or it could be because of a clash with family members. Whatever the case, be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Use your physical energy to restore calm and order to where you live. _____________ Tread carefully this week because the Sun is in your sign giving you lots of energy. However, Mars is lined up with Pluto and squaring off with wild, unpredictable Uranus. This explosive energy lands in the part of your chart that deals with your everyday communications and your relationships with siblings. This means it will be easy to fly off the handle and rip a strip off someone. You are a willful sign, (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) which also means you have a lot of self(Oct 24 Nov 21 discipline, if you want to exercise it. Demonstrate grace under pressure. Hold back an impulsive retort or sarcastic response. Take the high road for the benefit of yourself and others because you can do this. Avoid dangerous neighbourhoods and aggressive, unhappy people.

You're ready for bear this week. Mars and Pluto are lined up in your sign, which means you have an almost ruthless energy to get your own way. You will think you know best and you want everyone to follow your suggestions. You could be dictatorial. But this will get you nowhere. Others will simply (Dec 22.22.- Jan. Jan. 19) 19) resent you. Furthermore, they will lose their (Dec respect for you and you know you like to be t respected. It takes years to build up a reputation that can be lost in one minute. Don't be a fool. Pull your punches and be ready to compromise or just say nothing. Guard your own health against accidents and aggressive situations. Avoid dangerous neighbourhoods.

Ideological differences related to politics, religion and belief systems might create conflict for you this week. Just remember: you cannot reason someone out of an unreasonable position. They didn't get into that position by reasoning in the first place. Give this situation a wide berth. This energy could disrupt travel plans and might be potentially accident prone for travel. The main thing is to give others some breathing (Apr. 20- may 20) space and not insist on coercing agreement of others, especially about politics and religion. Just be content with your own viewpoint, and lighten up about proselytizing to others. asty disputes about shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt and anything that you own jointly with others might erupt this week. The fact of the matter is, this is a poor week for these discussions. They are challenging at the best of times, but why enter into them when the "weather conditions" are bad for discussions. People (May 21-June 21) will dig in their heels and not compromise (May 21-June 21) - not an inch. Severe disagreements could become violent. Avoid dangerous neighbourhoods. Make an extra effort to protect your own property, especially if it is owned jointly with others. This will be a challenging week for you because this intense influence that is floating around this week will impact your close friendships and partnerships. Many of you will have explosive arguments with loved ones. But you don't need to, obviously. For starters, postpone touchy ( June 22-July 22) subjects that could set off arguments. Wait a week to discuss these matters. Keep your head down and your powder dry. Just attend to your own business and don't take the bait if someone says something to upset you. Ironically, other planets are encouraging you to play and have a good time! Guard against sports accidents as well because competitors will be ruthless. Yikes!

Be careful this week because something going on behind the scenes (and this includes crime and dangerous activities) might suddenly erupt and grab you by the throat. Slow down and take it easy. Practice patience with everyone you meet, including your own family members. If you have been angry about something for a long time and have not (Jan. 20 -Feb. 19) expressed it - you might suddenly explode. (Jan. 20 -Feb. Don't let something intolerable buildup within you. Take steps to remedy the situation. Don't be a victim of anyone or anything; and of course, don't victimize others. Meanwhile, you are high viz. right now because everyone notices you. For your own good, be on your best behaviour. ______________ In many ways, this is a lighthearted, breezy time for you because you want to travel and explore your world so that you can discover adventure and learn new knowledge. This is the energy you want to encourage. Instead, battles with others, especially in group situations, might erupt. (Feb. 20 -Mar. 20) Essentially, these battles are simply a clash (Feb 20 Mar 20 of egos where each party is determined they are in the right and they want to get their own way. Don't even get involved in this. Run the other way! You don't have to be a doormat but be advised that this week is not the time to stand your ground. Far better to escape to some luxurious place with great room service.

Kim K disapproves sis Kylie’s relationship with ‘beau’ Tyga K i m Kardashian doesn’t approve of her sister Kylie Jenner’s re l a t i o n s h i p with rapper Tyga, it has been revealed. According to sources, the reality TV star is in the dark as to whether the relationship is even physical, but her main concern is that one of her good friends is Blac Chyna, Tyga's baby mama, TMZ.com reported. Insiders revealed that Kardashian feels like both Kylie and Tyga should have been more respectful and realized they were putting her in the middle of an impossible situation and even made her feeling clear with the pic at French Montana's birthday bash, where she cropped Tyga out of it. Sources also said that the 33-yearold is saying that her sister in a way is violating "the code", which states that one shouldn’t date the ex of someone who's close to them or a family member. Insiders added that Kardashian has made it clear that she loves Kylie and has her back, but thinks that she is making a bad choice. (ANI)

Colour is your friend

Comfort is confidence The winter can make us feel drab. Let's spice up your wardrobe. If you're feeling daring, try replacing your black leather gloves with a functional but more playful pair in a berry shade. Tis the season!

Go a little crazy The holidays are a time of indulgence. Why not “up" the festive factor with unpredictable details, like a conversation-starting statement necklace or bracelet. Embrace the sportswear-as-

Black and white essentials We've all had outfit brain-freeze. To overcome this, classics will be your best friends. A curve-hugging trouser like the Alfred Sung Tapered Dress Pant in black (available at Mark's) is always subtly

Angry Mom: Oh No! Neetu expels Kat out of family matter

Ranbir Kapoor recently attended his cousin Nitasha Nanda's birthday bash along with his rumored ladylove, Katrina

Kaif. Nitasha is Ranbir's aunt Ritu Nanda's daughter. This picture uploaded by Ranbir

Kapoor's cousin, Nitasha Nanda (extreme right) has Katrina Kaif standing behind Neetu Kapoor The entire Kapoor khandaan was present, including Neetu Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor and Armaan Jain among others. What is interesting is that Neetu cropped Katrina out when uploading the party picture on a photo sharing portal. But, Natasha uploaded the unedited picture which shows Kat behind Neetu.

This has set tongues wagging about Kat's status quo with Ranbir's parents once again. Did Neetu just crop and hoist the picture online?This picture was uploaded by Neetu Kapoor and has Katrina Kaif missing from the side Or was it unintentional? Whatever the reason, the picture has gone viral with speculations galore about Kat and Neetu's relations. By arrangement with Mid-Day.com

Bachchan clan and SRK together fire-up Kolkata film fest By Santa Banta News In a splendid show of Bollywood camaraderie and the mingling of politicians and celebrities, the 20th Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF) -- India's second oldest movie fest - was inaugurated here Monday by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan and superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

It was light, camera and action at the Netaji Indoor Stadium here, where an awed audience watched the stars descend and also saw the Indian screen giants raise a toast to the cinema buffs, in Bengali, for their sheer interest in films and love for the film personalities. Draped in uttariyas (stoles) gifted by Banerjee, the Bachchan clan comprising Amitabh, his wife and veteran actress Jaya, son and actor Abhishek and actress-daughter-in-law Aishwarya, seated on the dais, set the evening on fire with their oomph, charisma and reiteration of their links to Bengal. Strains of light classical music by percussionist Bickram Ghosh, classical music vocalist Rashid Khan and singer Usha Uthup set the tune for the magical evening as Big B and SRK hugged each other briefly. Indian filmmakers Amol Palekar and Shoojit Sircar graced the occasion with a host of Bengali film actors. Looking suave in black tuxedos, Big

B and SRK were assisted by the thali girl, actress Raima Sen in a bright red sari, as they lit the ceremonial lamp with Banerjee. Thunderous applause went up as Aishwarya and Jaya followed suit. A regular fixture in big events of the state government, Shah Rukh, also the state's brand ambassador, was greeted with loud cheers as he urged international delegates to try the variety of sweets from Bengal. Attired in gold and black, Aishwarya, the former beauty queen launched the official brochure while veteran actress Tanuja and Jaya released a music CD of Bengali music. Jaya, in a sophisticated white-beige

sari, said she was delighted to be there with the rest of the family and wished grand-daughter Aaradhya would join them one day on the same stage. "It has become a family event for us," she said. Both Tanuja and Jaya, acknowledged that the Bengali audience is "the best in the world" while a very sporting Aishwarya congratulated the orchestra on their rousing performance and thanked the chief minister in broken Bengali. "Amader poribarer proti apnader ashirvad bhlaobashar jonyo onek onek dhonyobaad (thank you for the love and affection that you have showered on our family)," said Aishwarya. Among the international delegates, award-winning Australian filmmaker Paul Cox was present to witness the spectacle that he compared to a soccer event. "I thought I was in a soccer field," observed Cox, who was astounded at the size and scale of the ceremony. "When you see a film on the big screen you realise the true power of the cinema," he noted. Cox is part of the jury that decides the winner of KIFF's maiden competitive segment- the best international women directors. Actor Irrfan Khan hoped the film festival "would inspire the new generation to find their own voice and engage an universal audience". "I think I should change my name to 'Dhhonyobad' (thank you in Bengali)," said Irrfan, triggerring delirious roars from the spectators when he uttered a few words in Bengali. SRK, who had at last year's opening gala promised to talk in Bengali, did so spiritedly and with full gusto. Present for the fourth opening ceremony, the superstar remarked the event gets "bigger, better, flamboyant and more vibrant" each year. After SRK's stress on the role of Indian cinema in uniting people in a technology-driven world, Big B's thought-provoking speech on the changing role of women in society, mirrored in cinema, perfectly rounded off the evening. Banerjee on her part expressed her desire to transform the regional film industry into a world-class facility and bring Hollywood, Bollywood and world cinema to Kolkata. Boasting of a rich oeuvre of 137 films from 60 countries, the fest will see 40 international delegates and 15 segments. There will be 31 Indian films, including 13 Bengali films. It concludes Nov 17
