Audi to Open More Outlets in India
MUMBAI (ET): It seems the fight between German auto majors for leadership position in the luxury car space in India is heating up, with Audi upping the ante in an attempt to unseat the top two firms, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, by 2015. “Having recorded 95 per cent growth during the January-August
the Volkswagen Group company is ramping up its dealership network and hiring more personnel. “We will be hiring at least 600 more people and raising our dealerships to 25 by the end of 2012. We will also enhance our portfolio with the launch of the Q3 (model) next year,” Perschke said.
Audi India Head Michael Perschke looks to Audi being the number luxury cars segment by 2015.
period here, India is well ahead of other growth markets for us globally and we are confident that we are on track with our vision of being the No. 1 luxury car maker in India by 2015,” Audi India Head Michael Perschke said in a statement. In August, Audi reported a 100plus per cent jump in sales to 510 units, as against 250 units in the month-ago period. During the January-August period, its sales jumped a full 95 per cent to 3,655 units from 1,876 units in the corresponding year-ago period. On the back of these robust sales numbers, Audi, which is placed at No 3 in the luxury car market in terms of sales numbers, has set a target for sales of 5,000 units this year. To attain this coveted position,
At present, BMW is the No 1 luxury car-maker in the country, a position it snatched from MercedesBenz for the first time in 2009. While Mercedes sold 4,890 units in January-August this fiscal, a growth of 40 per cent from 3,495 units in the year-ago period, BMW had sold 5,364 units till July. Even as these foreign car-markers report high sales numbers, domestic auto majors have been witnessing a sharp decline in sales since last July, when overall sales slumped by 16.7 per cent year-on-year.August was no better, with domestic automakers’ sales falling by over 10 per cent. Recently Mercedes had said that it wants to claw back its leadership position here by 2015 and towards this it would be launching 10 new models over the next three years.
“Our entire product portfolio, relevant to this market, will come here in the next three years...I think, we will have 9 to 10 new brands by then,” Mercedes-Benz India Sales & Marketing Director Debashis Mitra had said recently. Some of these new products will also include its proposed small cars, Mitra had added. Merc India had first lost its leadership position to BMW in 2009 when it could sell only 3,247 units as against BMW’s 3,619 units. In 2010 too, Merc sold 5,819 cars compared to 6,246 units of BMW. On the market leadership position, BMW said it is confident of maintaining its No 1 slot, which it has done for the last two years, in future too. “Our cars are positioned to attract all generations of people, who aspire to have a one in the BMW. We have no problem in selling cars to uncles, fathers, mothers and pops. Maybe that is the reason for our success,” BMW India President Andreas Schaaf had told PTI earlier. While other players are currently reviewing their targets downward in the light of the negative sales numbers beginning July, Audi is confident to exceed its set target of 5,000 units this year. “We are confident that we will exceed our set target of 5,000 units this year,” Perschke said. Audi continues to be the market leader in the luxury SUV segment with its Q5 and Q7 and in the super sports car segment with its R8, he said. Audi India sells various models including Audi A4, Audi A6, Audi A7 Sportback and Audi A8L.
SAIL in JV with Posco
NEW DELHI (TOI): Staterun Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) is on the verge of signing the joint venture agreement with top Korean steel maker Posco for a three million tonnes steel plant near Bokaro in eastern Jharkhand state. SAIL and Posco had signed a memorandum of understanding for

setting up the plant a year ago. “We are on the last level of discussion and this should be finalized soon,” SAIL chairman Chandra Sekhar Verma told TOI. The plant is expected to use FINEX technology developed by Posco. It is an environmentfriendly iron-making process that allows the direct use of iron ore fines and noncoking coal as feedstock, according to the company’s website. It says the technology helps lower the operating costs and emissions compared to the blast furnace process. FINEX reduces overall construction costs by eliminating the need for sinter and coke plants. A plant using the technology occupies only 60% of the area of a blast furnace plant of equal capacity. Verma said the holding structure in the new joint venture is still being discussed but SAIL is flexible on the issue as it is keen to bring the technology to India. “They want
should be able to resolve all the pending issues,” Verma said. Verma said SAIL has undertaken various initiatives to overcome the shortage of coking coal and would meet its requirements through a mix of coal from its captive mines as well as acquisition of coking coal mines overseas. “ We h a v e f o r m e d t h e International Coal Ventures Ltd. This company has been formed by five government companies SAIL, Coal India, RINL, NTPC, NMDC. The purpose of forming this company is to acquire coking coal assets outside.” Verma said MOU has been signed with the Indonesian government and SAIL was working on selecting a particular coking mine in the country. In return SAIL has offered to set up a three million tonnes steel plant in Indonesia. “The coking coal produced will be used for making steel in Indonesia and surplus coking coal will be brought into India.”

India Probes Child HIV Cases After Blood Transfusions
G U J A R AT ( B B C ) : A n investigation has been launched into how 23 children who received regular blood transfusions have tested positive for HIV in Gujarat. The children suffer from thalassaemia and get their blood transfusions at a public hospital in Junagadh district. Hospital authorities have denied that the children were infected by their blood supplies. But state authorities have launched a probe after routine tests of nearly 100 children revealed the latest cases. About 2.5m people in India have the HIV virus, according to UN-backed government figures.
Gujarat, along with Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, account for 22% of HIV infections in India. The 23 infected children in the latest case are aged between five and 10 years. They showed positive for HIV following recent tests of nearly 100 children suffering from thalassaemia and who receive blood transfusions at the hospital twice a week. Gujarat Health Minister Jay Narayan Vyas said that the children may have been infected after receiving transfusions “at some other plans. He also said some pre-transfusion
tests at the hospital had found that the children already had HIV. But the parents of the infected children insist that they only ever got transfusions at the Junagadh government hospital. “We have never gone anywhere else [for blood transfusions]. How can they (authorities) say that children were affected with the virus before getting registered?,” Salim Sheikh, the father of one child, told The Indian Express newspaper. Indian authorities say the number of annual new HIV infections has declined by more than 50% during the last decade.

Farmers Protest Government’s Decision to Ban Onion Exports
PUNE (ET): The Union government’s decision last week to ban onion export has not gone
well with any of the commodity’s stakeholders. There were protests in Nashik district on Friday and Saturday and APMCs have decided to keep onion trading suspended for an indefinite period. Nashik-based National Horticultural Research and D e v e l o p m e n t F o u n d a t i o n ’s president Dr RP Gupta said, “There was no need to ban onion exports at this moment as wholesale prices have not appreciated much. The current wholesale prices are about Rs 10/kg to Rs 11/kg while they should be at least Rs 15/kg for the farmers to make at least 20% profit. Instead of banning the exports, the policy should concentrate on controlling the retail prices.” Maharashtra is the leading onion
producer in the country while Nashik district alone accounts for more than 50% of onion production in the state. Farmers have been holding onion in the storage from the past 4-5 months with the hopes of selling them at higher prices. This year, onion export has fallen 30%. Sameer Bhujbal, member of Parliament from Nashik, has pointed out in his letters addressed to finance minister Pranab Mukherjee and agriculture minister Sharad Pawar that wholesale prices had fallen from Rs 11/kg to Rs 5.50/kg in Nashik after the announcement of the decision to ban exports. Exporters are worried about losing their customers. “There is a possibility of India damaging its reputation as a reliable supplier of onions to the world market,” said Danish Shah, partner of Pune-based Sanghar Exports. On the other hand, farmers say the decision may discourage them from planting onions in future.

India Seeks Trade Concessions from China NEW DELHI (Telegraph): India’s first strategic economic dialogue with China, slated to happen later this month, will try to wrest concessions to balance an increasingly one-sided trade relationship. New Delhi will try to persuade Beijing to make it a member of the proposed East Asian Community (EAC). According to the officials, China wants to set up an East Asia free trade area with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean),
Japan and Korea, leaving out India, Australia and New Zealand. The EAC is envisaged as a trading block on a par with the European Economic Community, but without its political cohesiveness. China also wants to build a North East Asian free trade area, which will have Japan, Korea, Russia and Mongolia, besides itself. Significantly, Japan is seeking to widen the EAC concept into a pan-Asian trade block comprising Asean, China, Japan, Korea, India,
Australia and New Zealand. India wants to sell this idea to China as more desirable and doable, while assuring it that the trade deals in the region are but to re-establish India’s cultural relations with its East Asian neighbors. The main agenda for the upcoming India-China strategic talks will be the widening trade deficit, at $20 billion in 2010. India exports raw materials to China, while China sells telecom and power plant equipment to India.

India Beats Pak for HockeyTrophy ORDOS (Samachar): Goalkeeper S.

Only the top four pairs compete in the elite championship and due to Sania’s injury the Indo— Russian pair may end up losing a lot of points and hence miss out on qualifying. They have 4788 points, Yaroslava Shvedova and American Vaina King are getting close as they have 4685 points.

Rajpal Singh, Danish Mujtaba, Yuvraj Walmiki and Sarvanjit Singh scored for India in the penalty shootout while Muhammad Rizwan and Waseem Ahmed sounded the board for Pakistan after both the sides were locked goalless in the regular and extra time. India started the shootout on a wrong note when Pakistan goalkeeper Imran Shah saved the shot from Gurwinder Singh Chandi. Sreejesh then came to the fore with a save off Haseem Abdul Khan. It was then Mujtaba’s turn and he neatly sent the ball past Shah to give India 1-0 lead. Pakistan equalized when Rizwan scored but Indian captain Rajpal slotted the ball home to give his side 2-1 up.

at Toronto Film Fest Akshay Kumar had a grand premiere and party to celebrate his new movie at TIFF. Akshay Kumar’s production venture Breakaway aka Speedy Singhs, had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in a grand fashion. A cross-cultural film, it is based on ice hockey, one of the national sports of Canada. The key highlight of the event was the presence of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who walked the red carpet along with Akshay Kumar and the cast of the film. A dhol band from Punjab was a core component of the group. They presented some traditional and dynamic numbers. There was additional fanfare with horses, elephants and majestic antique cars driving the cast members to the venue, which included Russell Peters, Camilla Belle and Vinay Virmani. The Punjabi tadka did not end there. Dance troupes from India displayed their talent at the premiere of the film. Speedy Singhs is slotted to release on September 23 in India. Canadian PM brings cake for Akki It was also Akshay’s 44th birthday on the day, and he cut a cake which was specially flown in from Ottawa by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s team. Says a source, “Akshay’s birthday cake was baked at the prime minister’s residence at 24 Sussex Drive. The cake, in the shape of a movie reel and popcorn bucket, was flown in the PM’s aircraft and enjoyed by a VIP celebrity guestlist.” After the screening, Akki’s birthday was celebrated at one of the city’s most famous rooftop night clubs, Muzik. “There was an intimate dinner for about 20 people, with actor Russell Peters, the PM and his wife, Vinay Virmani and his father Ajay Virmani. After the dinner, there was a party attended by 150 people, including the band RDB, South Asian artists Jassie Sindhu, Bohemia, H-Dhami, Veronica and Breakaway director Robert Lieberman with his wife and son. Rapper Ludacris specially performed at Akshay’s birthday dinner. Akki and Ludacris even rapped a song together.
Story: Londonstani Luv Agnihotri (Ali Zafar) has just had a break-up with his long-time girlfriend. Unable to bear the heartbreak, he asks his brother Kush (Imran Khan) to find a nice desi bride for him and arrange his marriage, pronto. Kush settles for wild cat Dimple (Katrina Kaif), his college friend, only to realise that he’s the one who is actually losing his heart to the bindaas babe.
Will it be too late before love prevails.... Movie Review: They make a completely unusual pair and are a study in contrast, Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif. While Imran is a picture of restraint and low key dramatics as the younger brother who falls in love with his bhaisaheb’s fiancee, Katrina essays the role of an over the top bohemian girl who loves to break rules and disregard
convention. It’s hard to think of them as a romantic couple -- the awkwardness is almost visible when Katrina asks a somewhat dazed Imran to promise to kiss her everyday. Yet, somehow, the duo manage to pull it off in what turns out to be a light and breezy comedy where the traditional Bollywood love story turns untraditional and offbeat. But only partially....
Salman Khan wants Katrina as Bodyguard Salman Khan spoke about his ongoing recovery from surgery and future films at a press conference in London recently. f his surgery, he said, “They were looking for something else, but found an aneurysm. There was a problem from the spine. Everything is okay, but right now I’m tired because of the flight and the surgery.” On Bodyguard’s success at the B-O, he quipped, “All our (Kareena and Salman’s) films together have been a disaster ‘Kyon Ki’, ‘Main Aurr Mrs Khanna’ so we took it as a challenge to make this film a hit. The reason it’s a hit? Because you guys watched it.” When asked who he’d like as a bodyguard in real life, he replied, tongue firmly in cheek: “Katrina Kaif.” He also revealed that he’d start shooting for Dabangg 2 only next Diwali.
FORCE
ber 30 Opening Septem SYNOPSIS: Force is a romantic – action film that revolves around Yashvardhan (John Abraham) who is a hardheaded senior narcotics officer who doesn’t play by the book but always ensures that justice is served.

He also meets the free-spirited Maya (Genelia D’Souza), whose love pushes him to make a choice between the life he already knows and the life he could have with her. Yashvardhan’s decision to let happiness and normalcy into his life changes his life forever. Cast: John Abraham and Genelia D’Souza Director: Nishikant Kamath Producer: Vipul Amrutlal Shah
Sonam Kapoor Clarifies ‘Gay’ Remark Actress Sonam Kapoor has gone on record to say that she wouldn’t mind turning ‘gay’ for Kareena. She said, “I wouldn’t mind turning gay for Kareena.” When we caught up with the lass and chatted up with her, she simply laughed the statement off. “I was on a spree of giving interviews for ‘Mausam’. The TV was switch on, and the promo of Bodyguard was being aired. Kareena Kapoor looked beautiful, and I went ‘I wouldn’t mind turning
gay for Kareena’. Of course, the media had a field day with that quote,” explained Sonam. ‘Are you sure there is no female ‘Dostana’ in the making?’ we ask her. She replies, “No, not at all! It was me just trying to express that Kareena is goodlooking. That’s all. There are so many goodlooking women in. Kareena is one, there is Katrin and Angelina Jolie and I could go on and on.” When we tell Sonam that she is good looking, too, she jokes, “Yes, but I can’t play gay with myself! About me being good looking, it’s not for me to say, na... “ she trails off.

Indian Film Festival of Houston: Film Reviews
BY PANKAJ MALANI Delhi in a Day: ‘Delhi in a Day’ examines the complexities of life in this bustling and turbulent city through several different eyes and viewpoints. A young and idealistic traveler from London, Jasper comes to India searching for a spiritual and mystical experience. Yet after spending some time in the home of an upper-middle class family does he realize that this is not just a land of yogis and temples. The film looks closely at the relationships between Mukun, a well-to-do industrialist and his wife, Kalpana and how they adapt to the increasingly Western lifestyle of a prominent Delhi family. And as in any wealthy family in India, the house does not run without a team of servants. “Delhi in a Day’ does a fantastic job of highlighting the difference in the lives and attitudes between these two classes. The interactions between family members and the workers show that they truly don’t think of each other as equals. When Jasper comes in and tries to break these cultural divides and befriend the house staff, the lines begin to blur. But when all of Jasper’s money goes missing from his room and the servants are blamed, the relationships and tension really begins to intensify. ‘Delhi in a Day’ is a wonderfully acted film with several standout
acting performances. The characters are well-developed and the cinematography and art direction are blended in order to bring the many facets of Delhi and its people to life. I am Kalam:
for with his wild-eyed optimism and confidence that he can become a man of great importance in the world. Though not formally educated, Kalam is smart as a whip and catches the eye and heart of the
The relationships in the film develop naturally and Kalam’s infectious smile and extroverted personality make him a delight to watch on the screen. The characters are interesting to watch although the foreigners are portrayed a little
one-dimensionally. It is a very enjoyable film and touches on many themes including, friendship, classism in society, and the way different cultures mix and are able to relate.

Invitation to Luncheon with Congressman Ted Poe September 18th, 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM India House, 8888 West Bellfort Street, Houston
To show our support and gratitude for his introducing HR1699 on Freezing Foreign Aid to Pakistan until they truly co-operate in fighting terrorism!
Congressman Ted Poe was the first US Congressman to call for freezing foreign aid to Pakistan after the capture of Osama Bin Laden. The American taxpayer has given approximately 40 Billion dollars in aid to Pakistan which has not been used for the purposes for which it has been given. Unfortunately much of this money has been used to fund terrorist acts throughout the world against the US Military and Civilians as well. Join us in expressing our thanks to Congressman Poe for taking this bold step. He is a big supporter of the Indian American community and the appointment of Indian Americans in leadership positions. National Indian American Coalition (www.niac.co) is committed and laser focused to support all American political leaders who work for causes important to the Indian American community, such as fighting terrorism, shortening visa wait periods, improving US education on India and appointment of Indian Americans to leadership positions at local, state and national levels. We have been successful in convincing many congressmen to support the HR 1699. Meeting Agenda: 10:30 to 11:00 AM: Meet and Greet attendees including visitors from out of state 11:00 to 12 Noon: Welcome address by Event Chairman Dr. Devinder Bhatia, NIAC presentation and Congressman Ted Poe’s remarks. 12 Noon to 1:00 PM: Lunch and Fundraiser of Congressman Poe. Lunch Tickets: Free, compliments of AVG, our Corporate Sponsor Fundraising: Encouraged but voluntary

38 September 16, 2011 BY PAYAL LAL Payal Lal, get up! Get up, now! Do you have any idea how much I studied when I was your age? I woke up at 5 a.m. every day. And look at you. Still sleeping. This is the story of my Saturday mornings. Every one of them. On the Saturdays my parents have to work, I hear them in my dreams. My parents live in another world altogether. They get up at 5 a.m. every morning, even if they have nothing specific to do. I don’t do that even if my facebook account gets hacked. Welcome to India — a country where the parents are too Indian and the children too American. Being part of generation Y, I can tell you, based on experience, it is a combination that doesn’t go well at all. It’s like having Punjabi food with south Indian food. Allow me to tell you why. Every now and then my mom barges into my room and says: “Sitting around on your bed, talking on the phone and whiling away time on your laptop. I knew we shouldn’t have given it to you. Stupid useless distractions. I had none at all when I was your age.” Okay, Mom, first of all, a laptop or a cell phone did not even exist when you were my age. There is no way you could have had it. You learnt how to use it about the same time I did. Secondly, I could be doing something productive. Don’t just walk into my room and assume stuff. I could
Dear Papa & Mama, Leave us Alone!
be discussing the terrible conditions of the Greek economy on my phone and researching about the Middle Eastern uprisings. (I’m not. I actually am just talking to my friend on the phone and chatting with a few others on facebook.) But whatever. Don’t assume stuff. Not only do they not like the idea of a laptop or cellphone with their child
But before my dad answered, I had already looked up the answer on the web. When my dad was my age, he would probably not have bothered to make an effort to find the answer to such a question. Not because, it was a stupid question, but because the effort would not have been worth it. He would have to get up, go to the
but also do not know how to use it. It’s understandable considering the circumstances that existed when they were kids. The other day, I was trying to figure out some Middle Eastern countries. So I was researching on Google. I asked my dad who was sitting beside, “Papa, was Iran earlier called Persia?”
bookshelf, open the bookshelf, find an atlas, open it, look through the index, find the right page number, browse through all the text and then he’d have his answer. By then, Iran would have changed its name again! All I had to do was type two words into Google. And it isn’t just the computer which had changed things, it’s the cellphone
as well. Commonly known to be a mania among parents, it’s dearer to us than our own lives. While they take hours to send a two-word text, it takes us seconds to do the same. If they were to send the same number of texts we do in one day, that’s probably all they would do that day. Babies today are probably born with their fingers moving that way. Part of evolution, you see! Facebook is another hilarious example of the generation gap. My parents joined facebook much later than I did. And they didn’t seem to like the idea that everyone could see their profile picture and all their friends could see what they wrote on people’s wall. When my mom realised this she said, “What? What if Vanita sees what I wrote about her on Renu’s wall? Won’t she feel bad?” They have been accustomed to emailing. One of my dad’s friends, who happens to be on my facebook friends list, has a habit of writing comments in the form of letters. I once wrote on his wall “Happy Birthday.” The next day when he logged in I had a bunch of notifications. So I clicked on them and I found that he had commented on that wall post. He had written “Dear Payal, Thank you for your wishes. Hope you are doing well.
Love, Uncle” Anyone else would just write ‘thanks.’ At most, a thank you and a smiley. So it isn’t only the age gap that creates such differences. It’s also the change of trend. What our parents did at our age, we wouldn’t even dream of doing. That would make us a different species altogether. I would call them Boro sapiens. Gen Y thinks parents are impractical, overly conservative, boring. On the other hand, the oldies complain all the time that the younger generation is lazy and spoilt. We have all grown up in different environments and different mindsets. In India, the kind of change that occurred over the last 20 years makes 1 generation gap equal to 5. The generation gap does not allow us to see eye to eye on much, unless we try to think from their point of view once in a while. Everyone is the way he or she is because of a reason. It’s his/her background or upbringing that makes him/ her that way. That’s why we are so different from our parents. We have grown up in such diverse environments. Next time when you talk to people who you don’t see eye to eye with, be it people from the older or younger generation or anyone else, wait for a second before you pick up an argument and put yourself in their shoes. Maybe, you’ll realise that they are right in their own old ways. Hindu
