Anjali fell in love with 17-year-old Sachin at the airport By Neil Joshi
S
achin Tendulkar has time and again reiterated that his best partnership was not on the field but off it with his wife Anjali. During the official launch of his autobiography, ‘Playing It My Way’ he provided an inside view as to how the partnership was soleminised into a permanent one in 1995. Sachin Tendulkar and Anjali had dated for five years before they took their vows, but it was Anjali’s brave run at the Mumbai international airport calling out to ‘Sachin’ which got the batsman’s attention. Speaking on the occasion, Anjali recollected their first tryst and how both had each other on their minds, after a split moment at the airport’s visitor’s gallery where she had gone to receive her mother who was travelling from England. “I didn’t know he was 17, I didn’t know who he was. I was with Aparna [Anjali’s friend] who told me he is the wonder boy of Indian cricket and the youngest boy to score a hundred in cricket. I did-

hree top executives of different private education establishments and some government officials of the Social Welfare department were on Wednesday booked for allegedly duping the Maharashtra government to the tune of Rs.24.28 crore, a senior official with the ACB said. According to the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB), accused Birla Shlok Education Ltd's Regional Head Ravindra Indulkar, Zenith Software Ltd's Vice President Guruprasad Krishnamurthy, Core Education and Technology's Vice President Raju Pandey and some government officials were booked under IPC sections 420 Continued on pg 2 «
n’t care what he was or who he was, I had no interest in cricket, I thought he was really cute,” Anjali said at the launch of his book. She added that the ‘wonder boy’ was embarrassed that he studiosly avoided her gaze as his brother came to receive him. “I was there to receive my mom who was coming from England. I forgot about my mother and I ran screaming Sachin, Sachin, so cute. The funny thing is Ajit and Nitin [both brothers] were there with him and Sachin was so embarrassed that he didn’t look at me,” she said. Anjali who was practising medicine at that time at the Grant Medical College sourced his residence contact through friends and was surprised that Sachin knew her and what clothes she wore despite him not looking back at her at the airport. Anjali said that Sachin was very hesitant to invite her to his house and told her to pretend to be a journalist. “Sachin used to never pick up the phone. That day he picked up the phone. I said ‘I am Anjali and you don’t know me and I
saw you at the airport yesterday.’ He said, ‘Ya ya I remember, I saw you. So I asked him, how and what was I wearing. So he told me I was wearing an orange shirt. That what I call destiny,” stating how their innings started together. Sachin said, “The only thing I remembered was the colour of her t-shirt.”
LETTERS TO SACHIN
She narrated while the current generation wouldn’t know the meaning of conversing through letters, she said that due to the high international rates, both of them wrote letters and stayed connected with each other. “In 1990 there were no mobile phones or computers, so if ever I wanted to call him, there were these PCOs, so I had to get out of the 46 acres [Grant Medical College] campus and go to a PCO where the ISD rates were less. So the best option was to write a letter. So I had to plan ahead as to which city he would be after 10 days. That is the way we communicated in those days.”
Murder: a clinching clue is paper piece A piece of paper helps police in investigations into a murder case By Zuber Ansari
A
piece of Urdu newspaper published in UP helped police in a murder case. The police who found a newspaper piece read the dateline and also the place of publication of the paper. The D.N. Nagar police while searching the house of 48-year-old Daryasheel Desa who was murdered by two men, found a piece of Urdu paper. The piece of paper had been used to wrap the chopper and pistol – the murder weapons. The killers used these weapons to murder Daryasheel. The police said: “The two killers could be from Uttar Pradesh. They are hiding there and our investigation continues.” Daryasheel Desai was in the event management business. His colleague Sandeep Kawa was run-
“The D.N. Nagar police while searching the house of Daryasheel Desai in Andheri, found a piece of Urdu newspaper. The killers used the paper to wrap the weapons” ning some betting business. On making inquiries, the police found no one in the building was from Uttar Pradesh and none from there is living in the building. Evidently Daryasheel was a woman lover. In his room, there were several photographs of him with women.
We conclude the newspaper was bought to Mumbai by the two killers. They killed Daryasheel on October 23. They shot at Sandeep Kawa who has been injured. He is recuperating at the Lilavati Hospital in Bandra. On that day, Daryasheel was drinking alcohol at his residence at Manish Nagar, Andheri. Kawa also came there and joined the party. The two men stabbed Daryasheel to death. It was a pre-planned murder. Kawa told the police he did not know who the killers were. The criminals escaped from a rear exit of the building. The police have already started questioning Kawa and in all probability, they will go to Uttar Pradesh. They are confident they will nab the criminals soon.

Now, be ready to be booked for traffic violations
By Zuber Ansari
By Khushboo Panjabi
T
he Joint Commissioner of Police (traffic) has issued an order to all concerned traffic police division officers and police stations to not let rash and negligent bikers off by fining them just a few 100 rupees but to take them to the nearest police station and book them. This order may bring relief to the common man, but will only burden the traffic department. For instance, on Wednesday the Vakola traffic police detained three bikers riding in the opposite direction of the traffic. The duty constables took them to the Vakola police station to file an FIR. However it took those constables the whole day to file the FIR leaving their duty points vacant. Speaking to the ADC, one of the traffic constables said, “After repeated complaints from the public, our superiors sent out the order. We will work according to it, but it's not feasible to spend the whole day filing an FIR at the police station. It's a time consuming process.” Joint Commissioner of Police (traffic) Dr B.K. Upadhayay said, “After the increasing accidents in the city and violations of traffic norms, especially by
T JCP (traffic) Dr B.K. Upadhayay two wheeler riders, I have issued an order to not let them away easily. Let them face a court hearing. This order has been issued in public interest. If implemented efficiently, it will reduce incidents of rash and negligent driving. And when the chain snatchers learn about the FIR, they will think twice before snatching more chains.” The three bikers who were booked by the Vakola police constables are – Prakash Mali (30), Swapnil Ravindra Gurav (25) and Mansukh Madan Gala (35). In the first nine months of 2014 alone, there have been more than 4,400 cases of rash and negligent driving. In 2013, the cases registered were 4,945, while the number in 2012 was much lower, at 3,160.
he Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is launching a new plan to take forward Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, but the corporators in the BMC think that the civic body is failing in its effort to keep the city clean. According to the Shop and Establishment department, “The shopkeepers have been asked to keep garbage bins in front of their shops to ensure that the area remains clean. If the shopkeeper fails to do so, he will be punished under Section 39 of the Shop and Establishment Act. Violating this section could result in the licence being cancelled.” The corporators are of the view that if the BMC's plan was working, the ubiquitous garbage in the city would not be as visible as it is today. On the other hand, Manoj Kotak group leader of the BJP in the BMC has written a letter to civic chief taken on hawkers, he replied 1 lakh forms were colSitaram Kunte saying if harbourers of dengue breed- lected out of which 30,000 hawkers are authorised. ing spots can be served notices, they should also be That means the rest are unauthorised.” Kotak has appealed to the civic authority.

According to him, he received a text message on September 5, 2010 which said he had won US $5 lakh from a MNC. When he responded to the message, he received an email seeking money for the transfer process. Warade sold his house and other assets and paid Rs 29 lakh.

A complaint was received some time ago in this regard and after conducting a preliminary probe, it came to light that the accused had diverted Rs 24.28 crore government funds to themselves in violation of government order that had been issued in July 2012, the DGP added.

University brings in plagiarism software The software will verify research papers and PhD thesis of its students before awarding them PhDs and medals By Yatin Ingle
A
new process has been introduced by the Mumbai University before it awards its students PhD and research medals in March 2015. Keeping a track upon the bibliographies, the sources of content, matter submitted by the students in their projects, the
University has introduced an antiplagiarism software. The MU states that induction of this software will curb plagiarism and only original work will be awarded degrees. Yesterday, the Management Council of the University took this decision to curb malpractices. The anti-plagiarism software has been introduced as a part of the Universities Grants Comission's 'Shodhganga' project. The aim of the project is to be responsible for hosting, maintaining and making the digital repository of Indian electronic Thesis and Dissertations, accessible to all institutions and universities. The ADC spoke to Mahadev Jagtap, management member, MU,
who said, “Many a times, students just pick up the literature review or the summary for thesis and submit it as their own PhD research work. This software will oust such students and verify plagiarism. This is an easy way for the PhD examiners to verify research papers and thesis automatically.” Last year, the MU had also introduced the scanning of answersheets of the engineering exams. The scanning had automated the assessment work and developed a swift technique to prepare the results. Dr Naresh Chandra, Pro Vice Chancellor, MU said, “Copying a paper from the websites will be known immediately to the experts with this software.”

Kiss of love
“Each day, our rights and liberties are facing an onslaught. Each day the moral police inches closer to taking away your freedom of expression and they have the government by their side. The time has come to protest against this encroachment on our liberties…let us show them we are not afraid to publicly engage in what is right and fair.” This description in one of the 'Kiss of Love' pages on social media clearly explains that the campaign is about more than just being able to display affection and love publicly in our beloved country. It is about civil liberties, freedom of expression and human rights.
The 'Kiss for Love' campaign was first organised in Kerala after the BJP youth wing vandalised a cafe in Kozhikode, on the suspicion that there were some “immoral activities” taking place there. It's difficult to determine exactly what these “immoral” acts were. As one astute Malayali puts it, people piss in the streets, why shouldn't they kiss. Anyway, the harder the moral and real police tried to shut down the campaign, the stronger the word grew among the lovers. And thus DDay arrived. Young and old, men and women, lovers and friends, and even some gawkers, gathered at Ernakulam Law College, Kochi. But before anything started, the police took 50 organisers into custody as a “preventive measure”, as members of the Yuva Morcha,
Shiva Sena and Bajrang Dal stood by looking smug. But the joke's on them, for the protest itself may have been cut short, but the movement lives on. Few days after the cops busted in on the young Keralites, two universities in West Bengal – Jadhavpur and Presidency – organised the Kiss of Love campaign in Kolkata yesterday. And just like that, the campaign will come to Mumbai, if our go-to spots – Queen's Necklace, Bandra Bandstand, Worli Seaface, Juhu Chowpatty, and the other fragments of the coastline that kisses Mumbai – are ever threatened. In conclusion, a quote from George Orwell's '1984': “Unregulated, naturalistic, animalistic, erotic, hedonistic, pleasure-for-pleasure’s-sake sex [is] a politically rebellious act and, particularly, a political act of defiance against states, state power, and state authority,” because sex and love makes people calm and content.” And if we have calm, content people walking free, who's going to participate in the aggressive rallies which evoke political and religious discontent among the people.

Remember those days when the Discovery Channel was about science and nature more than it was about antics, when it was for animal welfare and conservation than against it? It's not the same channel it once
was. Now look forward to a new show where a man named Paul will don a “custom-made snake-proof” suit, and be swallowed alive by an anaconda in an attempt to document what it’s like to enter the belly of the snake. Many are already speaking

against the show, calling the experiment animal cruelty and asking if it will be harmful or stressful to the snake. Pet Snakes, a website for those who keep snakes as pets, warns that regurgitation of undigested food can be unhealthy for the animals. Of course, the anaconda being robbed of the nutrients in his human dinner won’t be of great concern, but the potential for physical harm or emotional distress (stress can often prevent snakes from eating) to the animal is creating concern.
03
So far, Discovery isn’t addressing these concerns – In fact, they’re not talking much about the show at all. Those who hope that indicates it’s a joke will surely be disappointed, though, to learn that Rosolie himself has been tweeting about the show.
God forbid things go wrong and Paul is not regurgitated, then the show's production team can take the help of the tactless men in Kerala who recorded the hacking of a beautiful python which swallowed their goat, even though the goat was already dead inside the snakes digestive system. It's difficult to say what purpose that action served exactly, except guaranteed widespread viewership. Surely the Discovery Channel is no more opposed to such monstrosities. Anything for the ratings!

Sena seeks two union cabinet Meeting over berths against support in state CLP leader today

MUMBAI | THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2014
By Prashant Hamine

n the latest twist to whether the Shiv Sena would join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis-led state government, the former is reported to have mooted fresh proposal to the BJP asking it to give two cabinet berths in the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.

CM gets busy, rules out expansion before trust vote By Prashant Hamine
C
hief Minister Devendra Fadnavis yesterday ruled out expansion of his cabinet before the vote of confidence in his government is passed on November 12. Replying to queries from newspersons at Mantralaya about Shiv Sena joining his government, he said that the Sena leaders were in negotiations with senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders in New Delhi. Stating that the talks with the Sena leaders were progressing in a conducive atmosphere, he added that the formal announcement of the number of ministries and portfolios will be made in New Delhi. He declined to comment on the 'Saamana' editorial which harped on his administrative inexperience and the ultimatums being issued by Sena. Meanwhile the Sena has asked the BJP to take a final

MP Kirit Somaiya is also seen. call by November 8, otherwise it is ready to sit in the opposition bench. In its editorial in the party mouthpiece 'Saamana', the Sena remarked that the Fadnavis-led government should not create a
blunder by carving out a separate Vidarbha state. The Sena argued that the government could well do to ensure infrastructure development of the backward region. It remarked that separate statehood for
Vidarbha is like snatching the child from its mother. On the issue of the Nationalist Congress Party's (NCP) unconditional outside support to his government, Fadnavis maintained that the inquiry into the alleged corruption cases by former NCP ministers will continue irrespective of whether NCP supports his government or not. Sources disclosed that the BJP was more likely to offer around eight ministerial berths to the Sena. According to a senior BJP minister had the Sena been in consultation with the senior state BJP leaders, the issue would have been resolved by now. He maintained that the BJP wanted the Sena to join the state cabinet at the earliest. The Sena has been insisting on allocation of key ministries like Urban Development, Housing and the Deputy Chief Minister's post.

Jamnalal Bajaj with Subhash Chandra Bose bution towards nation building and India’s independence as well as transforming words into deeds.

he much hyped meeting of the Congress legislature party (CLP) scheduled today to elect the new leader is all set to be a stormy one as various groups in the party have started hectic lobbying for the post. The new CLP leader will get the post of Leader of Opposition in the Assembly in the event of Shiv Sena, with its 63 elected MLAs, joining the Devendra Fadnavis government which is in minority. Meanwhile, former Minister Abdul Sattar has vociferously opposed the name of former CM Prithviraj Chavan as leader of the CLP. After ruling for 15 years in the state, the Congress lost the polls with its tally in the Assembly coming down to 42 seats from 82 (in 2009). Against this backdrop, the CLP meeting will be held at Vidhan Bhavan in the presence of Congress leader in Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, who will attend the meeting as a Central Observer. All 22 members of the Congress in the Legislative
Prithviraj Chavan Council and 42 elected MLAs have been invited for the meeting. BJP, which has 122 MLAs, requires the support of 23 more MLAs to prove its majority on the floor of the 288member House in the vote of confidence which will be held on November 12. If Shiv Sena, which has 63 MLAs, joins the minority government headed by Devendra Fadnavis, the leader of Congress Legislature Party will get the post of Opposition Leader in Assembly. Names of Prithviraj Chavan, Patangrao Kadam, Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil, Balasaheb Thorat are doing the rounds as the new CLP leader.

Builder shot dead in broad Maria keen to tackle street crimes daylight in Nalasopara

MUMBAI | THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2014

n a sensational day light murder, a 37-year-old builder was shot dead by two unidentified assailants outside his office in Nalasopara on Wednesday afternoon. Proprietor of Kushboo Developers, the deceased who has been identified as Rajesh Amarbahadur Singh (37), was a small-time builder involved in the construction of chawls and load-bearing buildings in the Nalasopara-Virar region. Singh also operated Trilokchand Gas, a local LPG gas supply agency. According to the police, the shootout was reported at about 12 pm, when Singh emerged out of his office situated in Deep Residency
building of Sainanth Nagar in Nalasopara (East). Two men whom the police believe were waiting outside the office walked up to Singh, whipped out a revolver and opened fire on him. One of the bullets pierced Singh’s forehead, leaving him writhing in a pool of blood. The assailants then fled on their motorcycle. Singh was rushed to the Alliance Hospital by his office staffers, where doctors declared him brought dead. Immediately after receiving information, the Nalasopara police intensified vigil and enforced a nakabandi in and around the region. Even as the motive of the killing is yet to be ascertained, the police are probing all angles in-
cluding ongoing property disputes and personal enmity which may have triggered the crime. While a couple of suspects have been detained for questioning, the police are trying to recover footage captured by CCTV cameras installed near the crime scene. The daylight murder has yet again exposed the utter lawlessness prevailing in the Vasai-Virar region which comes under the jurisdiction of the newly-formed Palghar district police. A case under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and under the relevant sections of the Arms Act has been registered against unknown assailants. Further investigations are on.

I gave him a form to be signed by the client.” He further added, “I cleared the car and paid an amount of Rs 14 lakh by two demand drafts. Later I got my fee and Pandey took the delivery.”
Patel further said, “Neither I remember the registration number of the car nor I know the details of the original owner of the car Abdul Rehman. But I can identify the documents of the car. Since I provided original documents to the customs the police has the photocopy.” Judge D W Deshpande asked the prosecution to bring the original documents of the car for identification.

tracing children and youths will be of great help to the citizens. “There are several cases in which babies, children and youths are abducted and kidnapped for human trafficking, child labour or begging racket. This is awful and should be tackled on priority basis,” asserted Maria adding that “every missing complaint of children or youths will be treated as significant as a murder case.” In this regard, a specialised team of around five officers headed by inspector (crime) under divisional ACP will be formed. “This team will be dealing with only missing persons cases,” said DCP (Crime) Dhananjay Kulkarni. Maria has also announced a reward system in which the specialised team would get monetary rewards and a good remark in the annual confidential reports (ACR) of the officers for searching missing youths and children. Also, there is a monetary reward of Rs.10,000 for catching a cartel or gang involved in kidnapping children and youths. The specialised squad will be engaged in its detections by going through past 10 years data of missing persons. All the officers from the squad will go through a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) after which they would be given task of finding people.

n a bid to prevent rapes and molestations, that are rampant in hutments and slums, city police chief Rakesh Maria has started a special drive against video parlours. Talking to the ADC, Maria said, “In most of the cases it is noticed that people in slums get carried away and desperate after seeing pornographic videos in video parlours. This results in molestations and rapes.” Considering this, police will initiate crackdown on the video parlours and will seize the properties in it, which would in a way decrease street crimes. In the first week of this month, the drive was started and it will continue for three months. After January, Maria would take the reviews from the officers who were a part of this drive.
Missing complaint given high importance Another major drive started along with the crackdown on video parlours is that a specialised team will be formed to find missing youths, especially under 18. There's already a missing persons bureau in existence but Maria feels that a dedicated team of officers in every police station of the city for

Ponder awhile... “The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them.” — Mark Twain
U.S.: Pak is fighting proxy war against India
A
S the D-day for the first test of the new Devendra Fadnavis government — the trust vote — is coming closer, the atmosphere in the political arena of the state is becoming murkier by the day. The new government has been directed by Governor Ch. Vidyasagar Rao to prove its majority within 15 days after it was sworn in last Friday. Accordingly, Fadnavis running a minority government has convened a special threeday session of the state Assembly on 8th November, in which the much-awaited confidence motion, would be tabled and put for vote on 10th. Considering the fact that Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) headed by the senior most political stalwart of the state, Sharad Pawar, has already declared its 'unconditional' support to the government, the trust vote looks like a mere formality. However, the situation seems to be far different than that meets the eye.
F
OR the first time, the United States has openly said that Pakistan is fighting a proxy war in India. It knew quite well that Pakistan terrorists were targeting India. There was a time when the ISI of Pakistan waged a continuing proxy war in Kashmir. Armed, trained men were sent into India to carry out destabilisation in Kashmir. Sympathetic Kashmiri groups like the Hurriyat became paid agents who carried out anti-India operations. America however had its own plans in Afghanistan and it needed cooperation from Pakistan badly. Whenever terrorists attacked India, the U.S. was not very emphatic about condemning Pakistan. During this period, the U.S. gave Pakistan huge sums of money. There was a close understanding between the two countries then. The situation has apparently changed now: the U.S. is not dependent so much on Pakistan and hence it can more positively side with India. The bomb blast on the Wagah border made the U.S. come out with a categorical statement that Pakistan terrorists are carrying out a proxy war in India. No wonder Pakistan is not taking any strong measures against them. Terrorists are part of the defence force in that country. And Hafiz Saeed is a hero. All the terror groups in Pakistan are engaged mainly in anti-India proxy war operations. The U.S. statement shows that India can now expect greater American cooperation in dealing with Pak terror.

that he himself had created before the elections. It is an open secret that it was Pawar who had instigated Shiv Sena to break its 25year-old alliance with the BJP on the eve of the filing of nominations. The secret understanding was that within hours after BJP-Sena break their alliance; NCP would sever its ties with Congress also, thus making four-corner contests all over Maharashtra. The game plan was that if Sena and NCP win about 75 seats each, they would come closer and form a government, along with support from Maharashtra Navnirmaan Sena (MNS) of Raj Thackeray. That eventuality would have kept BJP on one hand and the Congress on the other hand out of power. However, that was not to happen. Voters of
important portfolios have already been allocated by Fadnavis to ministers of his party. Sena was demanding the post of Deputy Chief Minister. That also has been turned down. In this situation, Sena is either forced to support the confidence motion or abstain from the voting. In any case, the BJP is the winner. By coming closer to the BJP, that is ruling in the Centre and state, Pawar perhaps wants to ensure that the BJP does not come down with a heavy hand on the former ministers of his party on the charges of alleged corruption. The Damocles sword-like situation of enquiry is hanging on the head of Patel, who was Civil Aviation Minister in the UPA government, while Ajit Pawar, Chhagan Bhujbal, Sunil Tatkare, all erstwhile ministers in Maharashtra, are in the eye of controversies of corruption charges. Fadnavis and PM Modi have gone on record in campaign speeches to institute high-level enquiry against the corrupt and put them behind bars. By helping the BJP in the hour of its need, Pawar would forge a secret deal by which enquiry commissions would be set up but no substantial result would emerge. Will the BJP government oblige? That's the million-dollar question.
THINKING ALOUD
Shrewdest politician
Political moves Many eye-brows were raised when Pawar's chief lieutenant, Praful Patel announced party's decision to stand by the new government without any condition. What was the mighty hurry for the NCP to render the unsolicited support that too before all results were announced? While political pundits were analyzing the Maharashtra verdict on television channels, no one was talking about Pawar. Even after Patel's announcement came in, not many took it seriously. It was only two days later that all realized the depth of the political game, that Pawar played. That is a typical Pawar style. It has always been very difficult if not impossible to understand Pawar's political moves. By going ten steps ahead to support BJP, Pawar killed many birds with one stone; the BJP was left in a quandary on whether to accept the support or not and if yes, at what stage, it also put Shiv Sena on the defensive as its support to the government or its participation became irrelevant as far as the survival of the government was concerned and last but not the least, it sent a clear and loud signal to the Congress in Maharashtra and in Delhi that it cannot take NCP for granted as it has all options open. Having won only 41 seats in the 288-member House, Pawar had lost the gamble of breaking the alliance of 10 years with Congress. NCP finished poor fourth in the fivecornered contest. He was trapped in the web
Bharatkumar Raut Maharashtra, tired of the Congress and NCP rule of 15 years, had decided to teach them a lesson, and thus, threw them to number three and four position. MNS was almost wiped out with only one seat. As the gamble boomeranged, Pawar adopted his plan No.2, that was to support the BJP. By doing this, he put Sena in an embarrassing position with no other option but to bow to the BJP to find place in the ruling side. The BJP, on the other hand, sensing that there was no threat to the existence of the government at least for six months after it won the first trust vote, decided to be adamant and 'teach a lesson' to the Sena leaders, who according to BJP bigwigs had humiliated and insulted its leaders in the past. The BJP started playing hard ball with the Sena by giving cold shoulders to its overtures to join the government. Now the situation is such that Sena can neither sit in the Opposition with honour, nor can it join the government with respect as all
What do we mean by the problem of sex? W
HAT do we mean by the problem of sex? Is it the act, or is it a thought about the act? Surely, it is not the act. The sexual act is no problem to you any more than eating is a problem to you, but if you think about eating or anything else all day long because you have nothing else to think about, it becomes a problem to you. So, is the sexual act the problem, or is it the thought about the act? And why do you think about it? Why do you build it up, which you are obviously doing? The cinemas, the magazines, the stories, the way women dress, everything is building up your thought of sex. And why does the mind build it up, why does the mind think about sex at all? Why has it become a central issue in your life? When there are so many things calling, demanding your attention, you give complete attention to the thought of sex. What happens, why are your minds so occupied with it? Because that is a way of ultimate escape, is it not? It is a way of complete self-forgetfulness. For the time being, at least for the moment, you can forget yourself — and there is no other way of forgetting yourself. Everything else you do in life gives emphasis to the 'me', to the self. Your business, your religion, your gods, your leaders, your political and economic actions, your escapes, your social activities, your joining one party and rejecting
another — all that is emphasizing and giving strength to the 'me'. That’s it, there is only one act in which there is no emphasis on the 'me', so it becomes a problem, does it not? When there is only one thing in your life which is an avenue to ultimate escape, to complete forgetfulness of yourself if only for a few seconds, you cling to it because that is the only mo-
MATTER & SPIRIT ment you are happy. Every other issue you touch becomes a nightmare, a source of suffering and pain, so you cling to the one thing that gives complete self-forgetfulness, which you call happiness. But when you cling to it, it too becomes a nightmare because then you want to be free from it; you do not want to be a slave to it. So you invent, again from the mind, the idea of chastity, of celibacy, and you try to be celibate, to be chaste, through suppression, denial, meditation, through all kinds of religious practices, all of which are operations of the mind to cut itself off from the fact. This gives emphasis to the 'me', who is trying to become something; so again you are caught in travail, in trouble, in effort, in pain. So, sex becomes an extraordinarily difficult and complex problem as long as you do not understand the mind which thinks about the
As mentioned many times before, Pawar is the shrewdest politician on the national scene. History shows that the Maratha stalwart does have a sway over rural and semirural areas of Western Maharashtra and part of Marathwada. But never in history, could Pawar return more than 60 seats in Assembly on his own strength. In 1978, when he broke from the Congress, 40 MLAs defected along with him. After that he contested in 1980 and 1985 on his own but failed to cross the 60mark. And each time, his own MLAs deserted him in a big way. This time, trying his strength with a revived confidence, Pawar failed once again. This time he won only 41 seats. Despite these many handicaps, coupled with failing health and charges of corruption, Pawar manages to retain his numero uno position in the state politics and also occasionally projects to be the PM in waiting. This is the charisma of Pawar that has remained intact over his career stretching five decades and more. That makes him the 'Power House of Maharashtra'. @BharatkumarRaut problem. The act itself can never be a problem, but the thought about the act creates the problem. The act you safeguard; you live loosely or indulge yourself in marriage, thereby making your wife into a prostitute, which is all apparently very respectable, and you are satisfied to leave it at that. Surely, the problem can be solved only when you understand the whole process and structure of the 'me' and the 'mine': my wife, my child, my property, my car, my achievement, my success; and until you understand and resolve all that, sex as a problem will remain. As long as you are ambitious — politically, religiously, or in any way — as long as you are emphasizing the self, the thinker, the experiencer, by feeding him on ambition, whether in the name of yourself as an individual or in the name of the country, of the party, or of an idea which you call religion - as long as there is this activity of self-expansion, you will have a sexual problem. Surely, you are creating, feeding, expanding yourself on the one hand, and on the other you are trying to forget yourself, to lose yourself if only for a moment. How can the two exist together? So, your life is a contradiction: emphasis on the 'me', and forgetting the 'me'. Sex is not a problem; the problem is this contradiction in your life, and the contradiction cannot be bridged over by the mind because the mind itself is a contradiction. — Jiddu Krishnamurti

MEET THE MEN Afternoon Despatch & Courier
MUMBAI | THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2014
Single and ready to mingle? While parties can be the perfect meet and match zone for single women in the city, you should know how to spot a character within minutes, to ensure that you don’t end up with a terrible date. You’ll be attending more than your fair share of parties during the festive season and so, the Woman’s World Team tells you about the types of men that you’re most likely to encounter
THE DESPERATE GUY
>> Stay away from the guy who’s always looking to pick a fight
Spotting this guy won’t be difficult — he’ll be the only one trying to please everyone in the room. He could be the guy in the corner staring at you while you dance with your girlfriends or the one who emptied an entire bottle of gel in his hair in an attempt to look cool enough to approach you. He doesn’t own a fancy coupé, but all he’s going to talk about is taking you on a drive — all in a bid to get you (or any girl!) to give him some attention, and maybe even score a date. The approach: From the creepy stares to his undying need to please everyone, this guy isn’t the ideal date, so run in the opposite direction when he tries to approach you. If you do end up talking to him, make an excuse to slip away as quickly as possible. Fake a phone call or call out to a random stranger across the room. Looking disinterested won’t work because he will never get the hint — and even if he does, he will ignore it! >> If you meet a man with an overdose of hair gel and a creepy smile, you’re probably the desperate guy’s target
THE SELFIE KING We all want to take pictures at a party, but if there’s one trigger happy guy running around the room, taking selfies with everyone or everything present at the party, including the banner outside the bathroom — you’ve encountered The Selfie King. This guy is obsessed with himself and will do nothing but click selfies through the night. He is the guy who will go home after the party and rate his popularity on the basis of the selfies he has taken. All these pictures will be

to get out of taking a picture with him. Think: “My parents don’t know where I am” or “I have a really jealous boyfriend.”
uploaded immediately on a variety of social media platforms, and usually when he is still at the party! The approach: You don’t have to worry about approaching him even if you want to — The Selfie King will make his way over to you. However, it’s a good idea to keep your distance, unless self obsessed is your man of choice. Refuse to take a picture with him and he might get offended enough to stay away from you, but you could come up with fun excuses

THE FIGHTER This guy doesn’t have the brains or the brawn — he’s mostly just whiny and very, very loud. Even before he gets to the point where he picks a fight, you can pinpoint him by looking for the guy who is aggressively gesticulating and posturing to prove a point. He is easily irritated, often shouts about his drink being less than satisfactory and can’t wait for his food to reach the table. The approach: If you think you want to risk him blowing up Continued to pg 10 «

MUMBAI | THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2014
Continued from pg 9 « at you, go ahead and approach him. You might even be able to calm him down since you’re new and interesting — but only for a while. The best way to start a conversation with this guy, unfortunately, is by making a disparaging comment about something. Even if he doesn’t agree, he will be on board just because he will have something aggressive to debate.
MR. ‘I LOST MY WALLET’ Hold your belongings close when you see this type. He will be a darling through the night, giving you his sad little stories about how much money he recently spent (it will always be on something worthy — never partying) and how life expenses are just killing his bank balance. He will tug at your heart strings — until the bill comes, which is when you’ll have lost him or he will have lost his wallet. He also masquerades as the ‘I’ll pay you back’ guy. Remember that even if you do get your money back eventually, it’s going to be gone for at least a few months, even though he always has enough to pay then and there. Don’t confuse this type with Mr. Broke though — he can’t help not having money! The approach: It’s very easy to be tempted to foot the bill if you want to spend more time with him — and that’s what he’s counting on! Remember that the charm is often going to be cut down to half of what he started off with once he’s milked you for that free beer or managed to get out of paying the entry at a party you’re attending. You’ve got to take a chance on this one and hope that he’s so grateful you’re paying for him, he will return the favour with a date — where he pays!
THE PHILOSOPHER Usually very quiet, when this guy speaks, everyone listens — even if they’re only being polite. He always has a glass in his hand and after a few drinks, doesn’t believe in making small talk about the weather or sports. All he wants to talk about is something that matters. Want an example? Talk to him about how you’d like to be paid more at work, and The Philosopher will tell you how and why we all lust after money. The approach: We can’t promise that the conversation will be a two-way street, but no matter what you say, he will have an opinion, making him easy to talk to. If you want to pique his interest with something unique, put on your philosopher’s hat and talk to him about what makes people turn into philosophers after they’ve had a few drinks. >> Who hasn’t met the drunk guy, who after a few drinks is sitting at the bar, with his head in his hands
>> This is probably how the ladies man feels every time he walks into a room full of women
THE SHOW OFF If he walks in looking like a mannequin that escaped from a high-end outlet at a posh mall, rest assured that the man in question is The Show Off. Dripping in brands from head to toe, there is an expensive air about The Show Off and the brand logos proudly emblazoned on everything — right from his shirt, to his belt and keyring, are a testimony of his wealth and his need to display it to the world. He is happiest when he is complimented on his expensive cologne or sparkling cuff links and revels in the attention his outer appearance receives. The approach: If you want to approach The Show Off (although if you do, rest assured that a lot of the conversation is going to revolve around him), all you have to do is compliment him about anything thing that he is wearing, or ask to take a look at his Gucci-themed phone cover. It is the easiest conversation starter and is sure to strike a chord with him.
THE OvERAGE MISFIT Ever spot a slightly older man at the bar — sporting greying hair (or even worse, with a mop of unrealistically dyed black hair), flashy clothes, shifty eyes, guarding his drink closely and awkwardly bopping his head to the music? In all likelihood, you’ve had a sighting of The Overage Misfit. He knows that he is clearly around a decade older than most people attending the party, but is sitting there anyway, uneasily trying to make his way through, without sticking out like a sore thumb. The approach: The easiest way to befriend the overage misfit is to strike up a conversation with him. Pro tip: ask him what he does. Speaking about things that he is comfortable with will put him at ease and with time, he will let his guard down.
being disowned by your friends, but it might just work out well for you in the end.
THE SOCIALLY AWKWARD GUY Standing in one corner of the room with a drink in his hands, this guy is probably going to spend the rest of the night shifting his weight from one foot to the other. He is a social hermit and shies away from any social contact. He is also likely to be the first one to leave the party, so he can spend the night watching films with his dog, because, let’s be real — his dog is probably the only friend he has. The approach: Since he shies away from any kind of social contact, it’s going to be hard approaching this one. If possible, ask your friends about him and see if you can find out about his interests. Once you’ve got that covered, initiate a conversation and see if you click. Be polite and try your best to pry him out of his shell.
THE AWKWARD DANCER THE DRUNK GUY This guy is going to head straight to the bar and is likely to stay there for most of the evening. He is a thirsty man, and will likely resemble someone roaming a scorching desert in search of water (read: alcohol) who has finally come across an oasis (read: bar). You can expect some unsolicited dancing, compliments or even life lessons from him and sooner or later, you are going to see him passed out at the bar or on the dance floor. The approach: Approaching The Drunk Guy can be a tricky affair as you can expect a lot of throwing up and passing out. So, it’s probably a good idea for you to steer clear of him. But, if you want to take a chance, all you have to do is sit down next to him and start a conversation. After all, drunk party guests always have a lot to say.
The awkward dancer is usually the first to get on to the dance floor and the last to step off it. But, that doesn’t mean he is impressing the crowd when he’s dancing. Flailing arms and legs, vigorous head shaking and being completely out of sync with the music are trademark moves of The Awkward Dancer. But, he is also unapologetic about it and won’t shy away from finishing his piece, while insisting that bystanders join him. The approach: Want to get his attention? The only way to do so is to dance as crazily as him. You might risk
>> The socially awkward guy is the toughest to approach— for obvious reasons!
THE LADIES’ MAN He’s suave, is probably so attractive that you did a double take when he walked into the room and heads turn wherever he goes. If you’re still confused, just look for the guy surrounded by giggling women. He can be a little cocky, but he’s not a womaniser — he just knows how to grab attention. The approach:If you’re alright with a little competition, go ahead and approach this guy, but make sure you’re bold, loud (but not too loud) and have something interesting to start your conversation with. The best way to get The Ladies’ Man to notice you is to do what all the other women in the room aren’t doing — ignore him. He’s so used to getting attention from the ladies, he will be intrigued enough to start a conversation with you.

« celeb hit or miss: rhea dhanbhoora takes a look at what our leading ladies wore this week «
«
The only thing that Amy has going for her with this look is that it fits her pretty well. Her makeup contrasts too starkly against the subtle gold of the outfit and her hair is very flat. We’re not fans of the matchy-matchy look, but the shoes are actually the prettiest part of this outfit.
Shradha looks like she used a curtain as inspiration here — the print on the dress is too busy and the material a little too slick, especially when paired with her pulled back hair. She looks more like a schoolgirl because of the prim cut, cap sleeves and unimpressive shoes.

We visited Runah Salon in Lower Parel and asked their hair stylist to demonstrate this new hair colouring technique, with L’Oreal Professional’s Hair Chalk range.

You can also blot your lips twice with a single ply of tissue so that you end up with a subtle stain.

Work it Don’t shy away from wearing purple lipstick to work! While a pure purple lip is too over-the-top for a formal work environment, you can experiment with mauves and shades of purple that have a strong, pink undertone. Avoid shades with a brown undertone so as to not look like you’re at a costume party. easy eyes When you are sporting a bold, purple lip, you want it to be the focal point of your makeup. So, avoid heavy eye makeup. Keep the rest of your makeup fairly neutral in order to let the purple lipstick shine. In fact, our personal favourite is to pair it with a simple, but striking winged eyeliner. Within your limits Dark shades such as purple, tend to feather around the edges of your lips and bleed out of your lips as the day progresses. To ensure that you don’t end up looking like you’ve walked out of a horror movie, line your lips with a lip liner before you apply a purple lipstick. Not only will this make your lipstick wear off better, it will also create neat edges.

Don’t pair it with pastels, neons or bright colours, as the result will be rather unappealing.
If the word Far Away sounds familiar to you, you’ve probably had as many Avon perfumes in your closet as I’ve had through the years. So, when I saw the shiny new, gold edition to commemorate the scent’s 20th anniversary this year, I was understandably excited. They’ve kept the gilded shape of the original scent but have added a black tassel and gold charm. The scent however, is much less floral and much more Oriental. When I first sniffed the fragrance, I was a little disappointed. I didn’t instantly get the vanilla or peach hit and the ylang-ylang and amber is hidden beneath the strong jasmine that hits you first. However, once worn (and this would differ according to how it smells on you), I was a big fan.

Think versatility and you’ve got the Chambor highlighter down to the T. It isn’t something you can use every day, but when you do, the pump applicator makes it easy to apply. Even though it has a few golden particles in it, you won’t look like a disco ball and will look super radiant. You can use it on any part of your body, but when you see how much it costs, you may not want to. The one thing it has going for it is that it looks completely natural — so you’re really paying for what you get. I also loved that while you can use it with foundation, you don’t have to. Oiliness is out of the question (though it will not do as well under too much sun) and it lasts an entire day. However, it’s not easy to carry in your purse, so if you’re thinking of a touch up before a party — this won’t be something that you’re going to be able to carry with you.

« career advice What to Do When your boss is being sexist There is no polite way to say this — I hate my boss! I started working here a month ago and ever since I’ve joined, I’ve had to deal with a slew of sexist remarks. The other day, while giving me an assignment, he said, “Ask a male colleague (I don’t want to name him) to help you, because you’re just a girl.” I was horrified to find out how overtly sexist he is. The problem is that this is a small company and he is both the owner, as well as my boss. So, there is no one else I can complain to. Please tell me what to do! — rachana sharma, Jogeshwari Dear rachana, You can either talk to him, ignore it, or quit your job. It might seem like a hassle, especially since you’ve only recently joined the company. However, considering what you mentioned about there being no one superior to him, this is your best and unfortunately, your only option. We recommend that you write a strongly worded resignation letter, which explains exactly why you’re quitting. It is possible that he might then apologise and say that it was all a misunderstanding. Whether you believe him or not is up to you, and it depends on how genuine his apology seems. If you do plan on accepting his apology and want to continue working at the company, make it clear to him that he cannot repeat such statements again. send your questions to womansworld@afternoondc.in before Wednesday

A business trip with your colleagues can be confusing territory. From how to behave to what to talk about, there are several areas that you might trip over. So, Dev Goswami brings you a list of dos and don’ts
T
ravelling for work can be exciting. Even though most of your trip will be devoted to meetings, presentations and official dinners, a business trip makes for a pleasant break from your desk and tight deadlines, while giving you something new and exciting to look forward to — at work, as well as at the destination. However, when you’re travelling with your colleagues, you need to ensure that your reputation at work and your professional relationships don’t take a beating. Our dos and don’ts will help you strike a balance.
Do: KeeP business first This goes without saying. You’re travelling on your company’s dime, so we shouldn’t have to remind you that your primary objective should be to do what you’re required to. Don’t let shopping and sightseeing interfere with your work schedule. Ensure that you make it on time for meetings and that you don’t conveniently forget an important business breakfast. This is especially important when you travel with your colleagues, because you can bet on the fact that they will come back and tell everyone (including your boss) exactly how you behaved on the trip.
Don’t: flirt With a co-WorKer

You’ve had your eyes on a cute co-worker for a while now. But, remember that a work trip isn’t the best time to start a fling, or a budding romance, even if you are in a casual atmosphere. We aren’t trying to rain on your parade; if you’re positive that you can avoid crossing the line where harmless flirting turns into awkward territory, then there is nothing wrong with having a little fun. But, remember that he might not take it in the same spirit.
Do: MaKe frienDs A business trip is an excellent time for you to get to know your colleagues better. You should certainly keep your personal life private, but don’t let the trip become all about work. A short chat about where you’re from or your likes and dislikes will not only break the monotony of work, it will also help you to gel better with your co-workers, which will ultimately help you to work better as a team.
Don’t: be inaPProPriate Make sure that the casual atmosphere of a trip doesn’t transform you into someone who is over-friendly or inappropriate. Make sure that you look presentable at all times and keep your room clean — especially if you are sharing it with a colleague. You don’t need to be as formal as you would be at work, but remember that this trip is not a vacation.
>> While it is okay to have some fun, flirting with a colleague on a business trip is off-limits
Do: let loose
Don’t: DrinK too Much
Okay, we just told you about a few things While you don’t have to put a blanket ban on that you need to steer clear of. But, that alcohol, ensure that you don’t drink so much doesn’t mean that your trip should pass in that you end up spilling all your personal a haze, where you are always worried secrets to your colleagues and embarrassing about how your colleagues are perceiving yourself. Drinking excessively can also cause you. Make the most of your trip and try to you to behave inappropriately, which can have some fun. Take a tour of the city with taint your professional image. Save the boisterous, drunken behaviour for your your colleagues or head to the bar and gossip a little. However, keep your opinions friends back home and make sure that you drink responsibly when you’re with about people at work to yourself and your your colleagues. drinks to a minimum.

belly butter If you are serious about avoiding stretch marks, you have to start taking precautions right from the early stages of your pregnancy. While there are several creams, lotions and oils that help prevent and treat stretch marks, they come bearing a heavy price tag. Try a homemade, natural belly butter instead. It will help keep stretch marks at bay, and costs a fraction of what a commercial, chemically-made solution would cost you. All you need to do is melt 3 tbsp coconut oil, 3 tbsp cocoa butter, 3 tbsp almond oil and 2 tbsp beeswax over a low flame, until the ingredients have melted and mixed. Pour the mixture into a container and let it cool for 6-8 hours before covering it with a lid. Massage it on to your belly 2-3 times a day, to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
PRETTY PREGGERS If stretch marks and morning sickness have got you feeling down in the dumps, Shirley Mistry brings you some easy DIYs to cheer you up and make your pregnancy more memorable
you are going to be losing a lot of fluids, minerals and salts while you combat morning sickness, it is important to ensure that you replenish these electrolytes. These electrolyte cubes are soothing and help keep morning sickness away. Suck on them whole, or add them to your favourite drink. You can even make large batches of these cubes and use them as and when you need to. Mix 2 cups of Electral (or any other oral rehydrating solution), with ½ cup fresh orange pulp and pour it into ice cube trays. Freeze the cubes for a few hours before using them.
gender reveal Postcards If you want to share the gender of your baby with friends and family, these announcement cards are perfect. Get a template off the internet or design one yourself with your name at the top, and then draw two hearts, balloons or clouds (the shape really doesn’t matter) underneath. One shape should include the gender of your baby, while you can write a cute message in the other. Once you print these cards on thick paper, mix silver acrylic paint with an equal amount liquid dish washing soap and fill in both the shapes (do 2-3 coats to cover it properly) with it. Then, let the cards dry for 5-6 hours before you send them out. The mixture of paint and soap will act like a scratch-to-reveal card!
thank you Packs We love this DIY because it is so much fun to put together. As you get closer to your due date, make a few thank you packs to add to your hospital bag for the doctors and nurses who are going to be looking after you and your baby once you go into labour. You can include crisps, a pocket notebook, a gift card, a thank you note, lip balm and some candy — these are only a few suggestions, your options are limitless.
Pregnancy tracker Being pregnant is an exciting and memorable journey, so make sure that you record every step of the way using your very own pregnancy board. Use a vertical chalkboard and write on it every week. Jot down things such as how far along you are, your cravings, what puts you off and updates of any movement that you may have felt in your belly and take a picture of it. Pose alongside it to get a good shot of your belly and voila! By the end of your pregnancy, you will have a memorable record of this beautiful journey.
electrolyte cubes If you suffer from morning sickness and the sight of food makes you feel nauseous, electrolyte cubes are what you need. Since

I am in my first year of junior college and I have a problem. I have this pen gifted to me by one of my aunts from London. I love the pen. It is classy, smooth and so beautiful. I love it.

Don’t Be CreePy If you like someone’s profile picture, make sure that you compliment them on their looks in an appropriate manner. It’s better to wait for a while before you compliment anyone about how they look. Don’t inundate anyone with persistent, creepy messages, especially if they haven’t accepted your request. If any men are reading this — the same applies to you too!

You might love reading long, descriptive profiles, but remember that most men will lose interest after the first paragraph.

Asserting that the country needed to doggedly pursue the reforms agenda despite challenges, he maintained that reform is the art of possible but it cannot be just "one sensational idea".

Referring to the need for labour reforms, Jaitley said: "Some aspects of the labour laws in India can certainly be improved and rationalised. "This is an area where we will have to have a much larger consideration... Some people will certainly have reservation on this issue. Will I be able to immediately get it passed in Parliament?

On land acquisition laws, Jaitley said the government is looking at changing some "illogical provisions". "There are some illogical provisions (in Land Acquisition Act) like land cannot be used or acquired under this law for private hospitals and schools... There are some factors in it, which certainly require a re-look," he said answering questions from the WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab. On privatisation and opening up more sectors such as insurance to foreign investors, he said the last time BJP-led NDA was in power, it followed a liberal model.
akistan should draw a red line whether it wants to talk to government of India or those who want to break India, Defence Minister Arun Jaitley said today asking it to make a "conscious" choice without which a dialogue is not possible. India, he said, was "ready to speak to Pakistan" and is "willing to normalise the relationship" but "then there are a few red lines". "We create the environment, we fix up a dialogue at the level of Foreign Secretaries, our Foreign Secretary is to visit Pakistan (and) literally a few hours before that they invite the separatists for a dialogue to their High Commission (in New Delhi). "So I think a new red line has to be drawn in Pakistan to reconsider this question that who they want to speak to? Do they want to speak to the Government of India or they want to speak to those who want to break India," he said at the India Economic Summit here. "So unless Pakistan makes the conscious choice, a dialogue with Pakistan will not be possible," he said.

State Cops score over Union Bank M
UMBAI: Maharashtra State Police (MSP) produced a good disciplined performance and powered by the brilliance of Vinod Manugade scored an authoritative 6-3 win against Union Bank of India in a high-scoring Qualifying league match of the 49th Bombay Gold Cup Hockey Championship, organised by the Mumbai Hockey Association Limited and played at the MHAL Stadium, Churchgate on Wednesday. The scores were level at 1-all at the end of the first session. Manugade struck great form, hitting the target three times in the second half, after Sumit Mohite had opened the scoring in the first period, to give the cops the upper hand. Manugade’s teammate Vinod Nimbore stuck the other two goals to round off the winning tally for the policemen, who had suffered a 2-5 defeat at the hands of Central Railway on Tuesday. Jayesh Jadhav scored all the three goals for Union Bank, who had snatched a 3-2 win over Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers (RCF), the fourth team in the qualifying round. The young Union Bank outfit lacked experience and also did not play to a game plan. They were casual in the approach and allowed their opponents the space and the
liberty to launch raids on their citadel which came under quite a lot of pressure. The State cops did well to capitalise on the chances to troop out victors. Union Bank took an early lead when Jadhav hit the target in the 13th minute but failed to hold on to the advantage as Mohite scored the equaliser for the policemen in the 28thminute. The match picked up momentum in the second half, which produced seven goals. Manugade scored his first in the 49thminute to help the cops take the lead before Jadhav struck his second to restore parity. Once again Manugade was on target for his second and the team’s third goal in the 53rdminute before Nimbore joined the party with a neat deflection for the fourth goal in the 58th minute. Later MSP fired home the last two goals in the final four minutes through Manugade and Nimbore to seal the win. In between those two goals, Union Bank reduced the margin with Jadhav hitting home his third goal. Results Qualifying league: Maharashtra State Police 6 (Sumit Mohite 28th, Vinod Manugade 49th, 53rd, 66th, Vinod Nimbore 58th, 69th) beat Union Bank of India 3 (Jayesh Jadhav 13th, 50th, 68th).

and Shikhar Dhawan - to put on a double century (231 run) stand, which also happened to be the third best for the country for the first wicket and was the platform for the tall Indian total. A dropped catch reprieved the left-handed Dhawan early on and after India raked up an imposing 363 for 5, built mainly on the stroke-filled, individual hundreds from the two openers, the Lankan batting caved in meekly on a low bouncing wicket. For Lanka to make a match of it tomorrow it’s imperative they restrict the rampaging Indian batting line-up from running up another big total if the hosts bat first. It’s in bowling that Lanka appear the weaker side especially without the services of slinger Lasith Malinga and left-arm spinner Rangana Herath who are not with the touring party. The Lanka batting-order has vast experience in the big three – Tilakaratne Dilshan, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene – apart from Upul Tharanga, but a few of these batsmen have to fire big in unison to match the Indian batting might.

HMEDABAD: After starting the series with a crushing victory, an upbeat India will aim to maintain their stranglehold over an under-prepared Sri Lanka when they meet in the second ODI here tomorrow. Needless to say that India will be starting as overwhelming favourites at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera, having walloped the opponents by 169 runs in the opening match. India went into the series opener with their confidence boosted by back-to-back victories over West Indies at Delhi and Dharamsala, after a shock loss at Kochi in the series opener. Coming on as last-minute substitutes after West Indies pulled out of the series due to a payment dispute with their Board, nothing went right for the islanders, who had to leave behind their fitness training programme at home to get ready for this tour, in the Cuttack opener.

EW DELHI: Indian batting great Rahul Dravid continues to have a lot on his plate post retirement but he has agreed to mentor Rajasthan Royals for another IPL season, said team CEO Raghu Iyer today. “He continues being a mentor for another season. He has got various other commitments but I am glad he has decided to help us for another year,” Iyer told PTI.
Dravid, who has played for the Royals before retiring from all forms of cricket in 2013, was appointed mentor for the 2014 IPL edition.Iyer said Dravid’s presence will give the team a big push for IPL-8, scheduled for April 8-May 24.

EW DELHI: Eight women boxers, including unmarried and juniors, who are set to compete at the World Championships in Korea next week, have been subjected to pregnancy tests by Boxing India (BI), according to SAI consultant Dr. PSM Chandran. Dr. Chandran, who is President of Indian Federation of Sports Medicine, said the tests were conducted by Sports Authority of India (SAI) at the behest of BI. “These boxers have been compelled to undergo pregnancy tests.
They ordered and the SAI followed suit. Pregnancy tests were carried out on eight young unmarried girls, some even juniors, a classic case of human rights violation,” Chandran claimed in a press release. “The shocking thing is that it was done against rules. In the AIBA Technical Rules 2.1.4.2 which came into effect on 31 Aug 2014, there is no provision to subject boxers to pregnancy tests. However, BI Secretary Jay Kowli said he was not aware of the matter.
