Aft er oo VOICE VOTE THAT WAS TAKEN HAS NOT CLEARLY ESTABLISHED WHO WAS FOR OR AGAINST THE GOVT, SAYS AJIT PAWAR

W

ith regard to extending support to the BJP to enable it to get majority in the assembly, the NCP has now started singing a new tune. Ajit Pawar has said that the party will think again about supporting BJP if the vote of confidence is moved again.

He said: "It was the duty of the government to come clear on the numbers. The government has drawn unnecessary attention over the proceedings with regard to the trust vote. The voice vote that was taken has not clearly established who was for or against the government."

Was Pawar unsure about who had voted for or against the vote of confidence? It is also alleged that the BJP had not yet submitted the letter of support to the governor.

He said that the government would be mistaken if it thought that the NCP will go on supporting it for the next 5 years. "We will not give any such guarantee", he said.

Former deputy chief minister dared the government to conduct a probe into allegations of corruption against him. The former Con-

Thief gets cop to follow him to terrace and smashes his head

By Neel Shah

A

43-year-old constable of Mumbai police was killed by a burglar when he had gone to arrest him early on Sunday morning. The deceased police naik, identified as Ajay P Gawand, was attached to the Dongri police station and was a resident of Navi Mumbai.

The incident took place in Dongri area of South Mumbai, when Gawand had responded to a call by his colleague after the latter requisitioned assistance to nab the thief. The latter, identified as Santosh Salvi (35), had locked himself on a building's terrace near the P D'Mello Road.

Salvi had trespassed a ground plus two storey building near Wadi Bunder when the locals informed

the police. As Salvi had bolted the terrace door locking himself, the patrolling constable tried to enter the building but the burglar began pelting stones from top to prevent the cop from reaching him.

The beat cop then called the Dongri police station to send more cops, following which personnel from Detection Branch of the Dongri police, including Gawand, led by assistant inspector A Thorat reached the spot. “The burglar had locked the entrance from inside due to which Gawand climbed on to the terrace through a window on the top floor that was just below the terrace,� said Addl. CP (South Region) Krishna Prakash.

Constable kills one in road mishap

By Neel Shah

A

gress-NCP government itself had formed a special team to look into the irrigation scam. "The present BJP government is free to take whatever steps it wants".

From Ajit Pawar's objections, it

becomes clear the party is seriously thinking of withdrawing any kind of support to the BJP. Something must have happened during the taking of the voice vote which has annoyed the NCP.

police constable attached with the Mumbai police was arrested for killing one and injuring two while patrolling on Saturday night.

The constable, identified as Mangesh Chavan and his collegue Tukaram Devikar, were patrolling in the Nariman Point area of South Mumbai. Both the officers are attached to the Unit I department of crime branch and Chavan was behind the wheel when the car hit hawkers sitting outside Inox Multiplex.

Among the three hawkers, Mohammad Ansari (49) was declared dead while two others – Sajid Sayyed (30) and Sunil Jaiswal (10) suffered minor injuries. The incident took place around 10.30 pm after which the public beat Chavan.

Both the officers were saved from public's wrath by the sleuths from Marine Drive police station, who were patrolling the area.

An FIR was registered at Marine Drive police station against Chavan and the latter was left on bail. Chavan was arrested for rash and negligent driving.

The Gurukrupa C.H.S., which is at a stone's throw distance from the Shiv Sena Bhavan in Shivaji Park houses the residence of Shashikant Pawar, President of the Akhil Bharatiya Maratha Mahasangh. The recent order of the Bombay High Court which stayed the 16 per cent reservation to Marathas in public service and educational institutions in the state has not only shocked the community as a whole, but also this 64-year-old warrior who has been crusading for the rights of the Marathas in Maharashtra.

PHILIP VARGHESE meets SHASHIKANT PAWAR to know more about the reservation issue, various controversies and the history behind the Marathas, who are known to be rich, politically powerful and dominant in the state

‘MOST MARATHAS

POOR AND BACKWARD’ Only 137 Maratha families are the dominant players in state politics

“C

h h a t r a p a t i Shivaji Maharaj, the great warrior of Maharashtra, gave an opportunity to fight against the enemy to all the people, irrespective of their religion and caste. For him, everybody was a Maratha, who was helping him in his freedom struggle. So for him all his soldiers, including his Muslim soldiers (who were in large numbers in his navy and artillery) were Marathas. If you check school leaving certificates of persons older than 80 years, you will find the words like Maratha Sutar, Maratha Parit, Maratha Lohar etc. on it. Now the word Maratha is replaced by the word Hindu,” Pawar said as he sits in his bedroom-cum-office, reading a book on reservations for various communities in the state.

Pawar, who is a law graduate, is also the Chairman of the Sharda Mandir School in Tardeo. “I have been in this struggle for our community since 30 years and I am trying to do the best possible for my people in the community. I am happy that the Congress during their time made this reservation for the Maratha community, however, it took them 30 long years to decide that?” Pawar asks.

When asked about the general perception that Marathas are rich and politically powerful, he said, “The real problem actually lies in the popular perception that the Marathas are a rich, politically powerful and dominant caste in the state. One can't blame anyone that such misconceptions have become popular. The truth is different. The tragedy of this community is that only 137 Maratha families are the dominant players in state politics. The disparity is so wide, that the rest of the Maratha community isn't even half as rich, forget being powerful.”

So where did this controversy arise from?, we asked. “The Maharashtra government, as a parting shot before facing the assembly election in October, announced a new reservation quota - 16 percent for Marathas and 5 percent for Muslims. Before this announcement Maharashtra had 52 percent reservations, which had crossed the limit set at 50 percent by the Supreme Court. With these fresh reservations the total percentage of reservations in the state has gone up to 73 percent. A Public Interest Litigation was filed, claiming that the Marathas are not a poor and backward caste. There seems to be

no argument against the 5 percent reservations for Muslims, who most agree have a high population of poor and deprived people. The main controversy erupted over reservations for the Marathas.”

He quickly adds, “But I do agree that the most powerful politicians in the state belong to the Maratha community. 10 of state's 17 chief ministers have been Marathas including the first CM, Yashwantrao Chavan. Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan is a Maratha. Since the birth of Maharashtra in 1960 a majority of legislators belonged to the Maratha community. The community also controls educational institutions, developmental boards and 168 out of the 200 sugar cooperatives in the state. It is no surprise then that people tend to believe it is a rich and powerful community and do not need any reservation.”

However, Pawar says that the ground reality of the status of the community is much different from what is being portrayed in the public. “The truth is different. The tragedy of this community is that only 137 Maratha families are the dominant players in state politics.

The reason being that there are 96 clans and most are backward and

poor. The Kunbis, known as poor tillers, form a large part of this community. The problem within the Marathas is that Maratha politicians have failed their community. They failed to deliver the goods to the community who most of all include the poorest in the mainstream from early on. As a result, Maratha politicians encounter growing bitterness and want to appease their community by announcing reservations for employment and education.”

Pawar tells us that the politicians have hurriedly ignored the most pertinent issues. “It is clear that the social stratification and economic distress faced by the Marathas engaged in agriculture is unlikely to be meaningfully addressed merely by demanding OBC status for the community. We can't forget that Maharashtra is primarily an agrarian economy. Many agricultural peasants and small-time farmers have been reduced to labour, among them many clans of Marathas. Instead of conducting proper studies to know the impact of reservations, which groups have benfitted and who really require it, the government has only made it more political. Former chief minister Prithviraj Chavan, who came to

Maharashtra to clean up the Congress party and the government, was initially reluctant about the move, fearing legal problems. I will be meeting CM Devendra Fadnavis in two days and I am sure that he will understand our problems. He is a good person and what I liked about him is that he immediately decided to appeal against the High Court order on Friday. We need such good leaders in the state.”

Pawar has now started a new organisation under the banner of 'Maratha Business Forum'. “I don't want my people in the community to stay working under someone and doing a labourer's work. I want them to come up and take up business and join the list of big industrialists in the country. Hope my organisation would be able to gather every Maratha under this innovative idea.”

However, Pawar is not discontented that his children are not into activism for any cause. “My elder son – Yogesh is a Mechanical Engineer, my second son Virendra is an LLB and my daughter Suchita is a graduate. They all like me fighting for the cause of the community.

However, they are not interested in taking up this activism.” philip.varghese@afternoondc.in

Guv at clean-up drive at Dharavi

Governor Dr Vidyasagar Rao engrossed in a garbage disposal exercise.

Smiley is the word

In the age of technology, information, mobile phones and text messaging, the use of yellow-faced smileys or emoticons has gained quite some importance, so much that most of us have largely forgotten to make optimum use of language.

We are too used to using these smileys to convey feelings and moods, instead of using appropriate words

that the languages have in abundance. Are we somewhere losing our capacity to find the right words and rely on smiley’s strength to convey ideas and intentions?

For instance, while typing a text asking Vikas Sabnis someone to excuse your absence, you can say it in exactly these many words – 'Kindly excuse my absence. I regret not being there'. But most of us will say, 'Can't make it. Sorry', followed by a smiley showing one sad face and conveying regret.

Many such follow.

We do not know where the use of these yellow expressive faces is leading us to, but it most certainly limits our capacity to think What I like is he never of lovely meaningful exceeds speed limit on words that the the road! language offers.

Dr Shree Nansaheb Dharmadhikari Pratishthan was carrying out the 'Swachha Bharat Abhiyaan' in Maharashtra yesterday.

Sena president Uddhav Thackeray was simply outsmarted and outmanuvered in this political game. Although it must be said that on the first day of its official opposition role, a belligerent Sena has sounded a note of caution to the BJP. In the end, the Congress could not stake claim to the leader of opposition post in the legislative Assembly, and the Sena was saddled with a

post which it was trying to avoid till the last minute. Was this the way the BJP wanted to ensure a Congress mukta Maharashtra, by pushing the Sena in the opposition benches and denying the Congress the opposition space?

Sena ignores reports of RSS efforts in Sena-BJP patch up

R

ashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) sources yesterday while speaking to the ADC yesterday on conditions of anonymity admitted that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat did speak to Sena president Uddhav Thackeray over the telephone but clarified that the Sangh will not directly get involved in brokering a truce between the Sena and BJP. At best the Sangh might ask the two saffron parties to

sit together and sort out their differences, but will not meddle in state level matters.

Sources in the RSS admitted that RSS chief is very much in Mumbai, but have declined to comment on whether he would meet Sena president Uddhav Thackeray.

It remains to be seen whether the RSS chief or any of the state BJP leaders and cabinet ministers do arrive today at the memorial at Shivaji Park, Dadar to offer their respects on the occa-

sion of the second death anniversary of late Sena chief Bal Thackeray.

When asked about the developments, Sena spokeswoman Dr Neelam Gorhe declined to make any comments arguing that all such high level talks were being dealt with at the highest level. Shiv Sena leaders are tight lipped about reports of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) sarsanghachalak Mohan Bhagwat making efforts for a patch up be-

tween Sena and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Sources did admit that several Sangh cadres especially those from the Vidarbha region have held self-introspection camps to express their displeasure at the BJP seeking tacit support of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in securing the trust vote on November 12 in the legislative Assembly.

Meanwhile, the Sena has made elaborate arrangements at Shivaji Park where

After German, now Spain requests to introduce Spanish in India India and Spain were also discussed at the meeting. The Consul General of Spain in Mumbai was also present.

Earlier last week, citing national interest, Union HRD minister Smriti Irani decided to introduce Sanskrit instead of German in across 500 Kendriya Vidyalayas. According to HRD officials, the 2011 Memorandum of Understanding that made German a third language "violates the national education policy."

However, the HRD Ministry has disappointed the German government and German Chancellor Angela Merkel was supposed to take up the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during their meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit in Brisbane, Australia on Sunday.

Mohan Bhagwat (RSS) party president Uddhav Thackeray, the Thackeray family members, party legislators, top party leaders are expected to arrive at the memorial to pay their respects.

The issue of a permanent grand memorial for the late Sena chief in Mumbai has been on the Sena agenda for the last two years. It remains to be seen whether the BJP led state government does consider the Sena plea for a site for the memorial.

05 the BJP. The BJP needed and still needs support to run the minority government.

Had Sena either declared its support to the BJP or had they announced that it would sit in the opposition benches, the BJP would have been cornered.

What is even more bizarre is that Sena MP Anant Geete is still in the Modi cabinet and that the Sena is yet to pull out of the BJP led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). It is still unclear as to exactly what the Sena wants.

But the NCP is quite clear in its approach as it tries to cosy up to the power centre.

The BJP leadership too is well aware of the fact although no one wants an early election, it knows pretty well that its governments days are numbered. Because running a minority government with an outside support of an unreliable ally is more unpredictable and hence the government has limited time at its disposal before it can seek re-election.

Unless it wants to run a minority government as did former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda did in the last five years with allies snipping at its heels.

Do you know Thief gets cop to follow him to your corporator? terrace and smashes his head

By Zuber Ansari

During this time, a local person named Shafi assisted Gawand and both of them reached the terrace. The two were asking Salvi to surrender but he kept on refusing, which went on for a few minutes. In the heat of the moment, Salvi picked up a wooden plank from nearby and struck Salvi few times on the head causing him to collapse.

Shafi quickly managed to tackle and restrain Salvi

f you are new to a place in Mumbai, you better have information about the local corporators of that area, or you are likely to be duped.

One such incident took place in Santacruz (E) recently.

A gang of three unidentified miscreants allegedly cheated a 56-year-old man by using the name of the local corporator from Santacruz (E) and decamped with a gold chain and cash, together worth Rs 35,000.

The incident took place last week at the very busy Nehru road locality, which is a stone's throw away from the Santacruz railway station.

The accused targetted an old man who was on his way to office.

Victim Dhananjay Sitaram Deulkar, a resident of Bangur Nagar in Goregaon (W) was walking to work when a man aged between 30-35 approached him in a friendly manner saying, “Kya Pehchana ya nahi?'' [Did you recognise me or not?]. When the victim denied knowing him, the accused said that he was the local corporator, named Patil.

The accused then offered Deulkar a cup of tea. Meanwhile, a couple of unidentified men, acting as passersby and suspected to be members of the gang, saluted and acknowledged the accused as Patil corporator.

After taking the victim to a nearby tea shop, the accused, in the flow of the conversation, cleverly robbed the man's money and a gold chain, while offering him a thicker fake gold chain.

After bidding goodbye to the accused and reaching work, it was only then that the victim realised that he was robbed.

Police sub inspector Sanjay Pawar from Vakola Police station revealed that there may be more than five members in the gang. “We are trying to collect the CCTV footage from the shops installed near the shops. An FIR has been registered under section 420 and 34 of the IPC and investigations are on,” the officer added.

while an injured Gawand was rushed to the state run JJ Hospital where he was declared dead.

The deceased cop was cremated with full honours and was given a gun salute in the presence of senior police officers including city police chief Rakesh Maria on Sunday afternoon at Mulund east. Gawand, a resident of Lenyadri CHS at Juinagar in Navi Mumbai, is survived by his wife and two small children. neel.shah@afternoondc.in

he sign board which existed until now in a damaged condition at a Sindhi Society junction in Chembur has been yanked off a few days ago. Locals thought it could be the work of drug addicts.

“For many weeks the ‘No Right Turn’ board remained in a slanting position at 45 degrees causing inconvenience to motorists while taking a left towards Swamy Vivekananda Degree College. But to our delight, now the entire pole of sign board is missing to have a smooth left turn. But this sign board is necessary for the existing narrow road to stop vehicles from taking a right. Or else there is an impending danger of having head-on collision for vehicles,” stated Sanjan Sakhija, a college student.

When contacted, Sanjay Jadhav, AE (Maintenance), M-west ward said, “We are in the process of fixing new sign boards all over Subhash Nagar, Sandu Garden, Sindhi society – the places that fall under our ward. The damaged traffic sign board at Sindhi society must have been removed by our officials. However, I will inspect and fix a new sign board on this spot at the very earliest.”

This important but narrow road turning is always full of vehicular traffic as apart from having educational institutions, it is an important residential (Sindhi Society) area also. While speaking to the ADC, Balkrishna Shetty, a Chembur resident stated, “This damaged sign board signals an impending dan-

ger. When a person having no knowledge of road turnings enters this junction on the wrong turn of this narrow road, he is bound to collide with an upcoming vehicle. Besides this damaged sign board, there is no illumination on it as well, which is again a problem during the night. Hence the authorities must restore the sign board to its original position with proper illumination facilities.”

Even area councilor Mahadev Shivgan told ADC that he had already forwarded a written complaint to the civic department of M-west ward.

"I will see to it that the sign board is restored to its original position so that motorists can follow the direction properly,” assured Shivgan.

Poaching only way out?

S

ome development which is not to the liking of the NCP has taken place after the No-confidence motion was passed by the Maharashtra assembly by voice vote. As the BJP members were celebrating after the Speaker announced the passing of the voice vote, NCP members were seen sitting in the House silent and serious. Did they say “aye” at all?

They have started warning the BJP: They are saying that they should not be taken for granted.

And if the motion on vote of confidence was brought before the House again, they would not support it. “Don’t bring it before the House,” they said. Ajit Pawar, former deputy minister of the Congress-NCP government is quite cut up by the happenings in the assembly. He has warned the BJP it should not take his party’s help for granted.

There would be no guarantee that the NCP would ensure the survival of the BJP government for the next five years.

The BJP must be quite worried.

The carpet under its feet could bepulled away. It must have realised it cannot rely on the continuing support of the NCP. It has no choice now but to do some poaching. The Shiv Sena has moved away and if the NCP too is going against it, it has to go for fresh elections. Chances are the BJP will start trying the poaching game: it wants only eight members to obtain majority in the House.

HAT is it with the Congress leadership that it gets so hot under the collar just because others seek to acknowledge the contribution of Nehru to the making of a modern India? The argument that a BJP government has no business marking the 125th birth anniversary of Panditji makes little sense. It is Narendra Modi the prime minister, and not Narendra Modi the BJP leader, who has most graciously sought to celebrate the anniversary of one of India’s foremost leaders. The very spirit of Nehru is vitiated when those claiming to be his direct inheritors treat the popularly elected prime minister as a non-person, and display pettymindedness while wanting to delegitimize its well-intentioned tribute to the first prime minister of free India.

Would the Sonia-Rahul Gandhi duo have liked the Government not to commemorate Nehru so that they could then have gone to town accusing the BJP of abandoning the great leader? This is strange logic: heads the Gandhis win, tails Modi loses. For, Modi is damned if he accords due significance to the Nehru anniversary; he is damned too if he does not. But Modi is unbothered by the predictable churlishness of the Family. You cannot expect better from those who, having persuaded themselves that ruling India is their birthright, are yet to reconcile to the loss of power, especially to a self-confessed ‘tea boy.’ (Though Sonia Antonio Maineo’s own working class origins need not be mentioned here since upon becoming a Gandhi she has acquired all the airs of royalty.)

As for the contribution of Nehru, several pundits have most generously recalled his life and times to accord him a pride of place in the pantheon of leaders who led the freedom movement. Since history is written by the victors, there was little attempt to dissect his numerous failings, little or no inquiry into his intellectual make-up, his private life which, given that he was a public figure, remained, surprisingly, largely private. But Nehru was no god. He had his faults, he too made mistakes, huge mistakes indeed.

However, the fact that he was a consummate politician who ensured the marginalization of everyone who could pose a threat has not received adequate attention. The recent disclosure of a letter which Motilal Nehru wrote to Gandhi in 1928 commending his son for the top job in the Congress is only the latest confirmation that the father-andson duo worked in tandem to win over the Mahatma. It was no coincidence that a year later, in 1929, at the Lahore session of the Congress, Jawaharlal was duly anointed its president.

Gandhi had his own reasons to ignore the superior claims of Sardar Patel because a) he was a fellow Gujarati, and b) Patel was never

I don't want to look farther because I know there's something tragic here, but the journalist in me gives in and with tears in my eyes I look at the baby in his arms; there's a cloth covering the face and I know it's dead!

Again and again my car and the rickshaw draw abreast: I see the father sobbing uncontrollably. I see his wife, her arm resolutely round his shoulder, comforting him, giving him strength to go through this terrible hour of grief and agony!

Not for a moment do I doubt the terrible pain she must be going through, nor do I doubt that even as her arm and heart reaches

hesitant to disagree with Bapu on strategic and ideological issues. But Jawaharlal, as the well-known columnist T.C.A. Srinivasa Raghavan recently pointed out, was always eager to play the yes man to the Mahatma, even if he disagreed with him violently on key issues.

Also, Gandhi and Nehru in their personal habits and beliefs were as different as chalk and cheese. One celebrated all the externals of the Hindu religion, the other shunned it with disdain. One’s social and economic philosophy was rooted in the Indian soil, the other believed in the western thought and practices. Besides, Motilal had a good equation with the colonial rulers which was an added reason for his influence over Gandhi.

It might be useful to recall here that more than four-fifths of the Pradesh Congress Committees wanted Patel rather than Nehru for prime ministership. Gandhi vetoed the majority, instead nominating his westernized yes-man to the exalted office. (Arundhati Roy

of Patel — though his authoritarian daughter took it to absurd lengths, refusing to even garland the statue of Patel on the latter’s birth anniversary.

Meanwhile, the ugly manner in which the Gandhis are asserting their monopoly over the Nehru legacy would suggest that a) he believed in family succession even in the political arena, and b) that tom-tomming the claim over Nehru would somehow help revive the Congress Party. Sorry to say, there are no electoral dividends forthcoming from emptily harping on the legacy of Nehru, especially when the self-avowed legatees are what they are, namely, Sonia and Rahul Gandhi.

E

LECTION time is particularly propitious for amassing unaccounted wealth. A senior Congress minister in the UPA government, one of the few to have managed to retain his seat, had some Rs.40-odd crores lying around after the poll. So, where does he park this extra cash? Where else but prime real estate?

He bought an old house in an upscale South Delhi colony within days of his party’s humiliating drubbing in the parliamentary poll with the small change that was left from the election. And intends to soon pull down the run-down structure to build a no-expensespared modern mansion. His name? Well, we can provide a clue. He is known in the corporate circles as Mr Twenty Percent.

INSIDE STORY Virendra Kapoor points out how Gandhi while still in South Africa lodged a protest for being clubbed with the natives, whom he called ‘Kaffirs’, because his unsaid desire was to be treated like the Whites.) Notably, Nehru had made it plain that he would not work under Patel, but, to his eternal credit, Patel agreed to be Nehru’s number two at the instance of the Mahatma.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Suffice to say, without Patel the map of free India would have been much different, much constricted. Patel virtually ignored Nehru’s objections and quelled the anti-India uprisings in Junagadh and Hyderabad. Nehru was obsessed with winning brownie points from the western leaders; Patel, in sharp contrast, did not allow extraneous concerns to stand in the way of what he believed was good for India.

While still at it, let us concede that the denigration of Patel and other totems of the freedom movement, including Ambedkar, had begun in Nehru’s time itself, — recall how Nehru tried to stop the President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, from attending the funeral

AVE you ever wondered why the same set of people take out a small morcha, with placards reading Priyanka Lao, Congress Bachao, every time the party suffers a particularly nasty rebuff from the voters? Invariably, they gather at 24 Akbar Road, the AICC headquarters, and disperse soon after the media has taken note. More significantly, the man who leads this small crowd is none other than someone called Jagdish Sharma. Who is this Jagdish Sharma? Well, he is a factotum of Robert Vadra, Priyanka’s husband, in case you did not already know, who by dint of that fact was given membership of the Delhi Golf Club, and plays golf regularly with his boss. Sharma was also involved in a couple of litigations over the control of land-rich trusts, one litigation had the late V. C. Shukla on the opposite side.

Now the million dollar question is: if Sonia Gandhi does not want Priyanka to lead the Congress Party, how come her son-in-law’s Man Friday is holding morchas at regular intervals seeking her induction at the top of the party hierarchy? Is there something that we do not know, but only Vadra and his prized flunkeys know?

Solid! Strong! Sustaining!

The rickshaw draws up again, I look at the arm around her husband, giving him strength, urging him not to break down, telling him silently he is not alone!

I leave the couple and think of all the people who try to put women down: men who put fetters on them, imprison them in their houses, cage them in bedrooms and kitchens.

What fools we are: the days of the hunter are over, our flexed muscles are useless and not needed anymore and suddenly it is inner strength that matter, and an inner strength that a woman is blessed with in abundance!

The auto speeds away, but I smile through my tears: the baby may be dead, but the woman lives on and with her strength she'll pull her family through!

The strength of a woman, mighty and God given..!

Shrikant Chouhan heads Equity Technical Research at Kotak Securities and specialises in making long, medium and short term as well as intra-day calls. He also tracks world markets and select commodities on the London Metal Exchange. With more than 14 years experience in the industry, this market wizard believes that 'All bull markets end with a euphoria and this one will also end with an extreme degree of euphoria.

Five years may be too big a period to predict, but I am expecting Nifty to touch 15,000 and Sensex likely to be at 43,000 by 2015 end or by mid 2016' he tells Dominic Rebello. His advise for investors is “price is supreme and price knows everything. Enter into a trade or investment only after understanding or calculating the worst side of it.”

« MARKET WIZARD SHRIKANT CHOUHAN

NIFTY HEADING

A little background about your company and yourself?

Currently, I am Senior Vice President – Equity Technical Research at Kotak Securities - the broking arm of Kotak Mahindra Bank. I have been associated with the company for the past 13 years. Kotak Securities processes over 3,00,000 secondary market trades everyday and has a customer base of more than 8,00,000 customers. Awarded the Best Broker in India by FinanceAsia in 2012, 2010 & 2009 as also an award from BSE D&B as Best Equity Broking House recently, KSL offers a wide range of financial products for its investors, including Stocks and Shares, Derivatives, distribution of IPOs, Mutual Funds and Insurance.

At what point had you given a thought to making a career in the stock markets?

I never exactly planned to make my career in the stock markets.

However, I had a passion for mathematics and a knack to play with the probabilities of numbers. After joining the brokerage firm, I had the option to go in for Fundamental Analysis or Technical Analysis. As I am a firm believer that “the price is supreme” and “price knows everything”, I chose Technicals over Fundamentals. My interest in equities developed after seeing the market of 1998 and 2000 - which was primarily backed by price variations rather than actual fundamentals.

How do you pick your investments? Do you use technical analysis, or fundamental data?

For technical analysis, stock names would be immaterial as the study would be based on price and formations of that instrument. However, as we are catering to a large audience and as a responsible brand name, we keep knowledge of the economy, world markets and fundamentals of the companies. Such type of analysis reduces probabilities that indirectly

help all types of customers as then they can act on “limited number of probabilities” with effective money management.

How would you describe your methodology?

In the world of technical analysis, there are a number of oscillators and price related studies. It is better if we focus on few studies that have a sound track and strike record. I give more weightage to the price formations than volume and at last to oscillators to judge distribution or consolidation.

What appeals to you about trading. The short side or the long side?

My experience, observation and findings suggest that one should trade more on “tendencies that one possess”. I mean to say, some people like to take bullish calls irrespective of a persistent bearishness in the market and on the other side some people like to take bearish calls irrespective of the prevailing bullishness.

In fact, I a trader/ investor can do well if they have their own analysis, but in the absence of it, it is hazardous to do so. I am a trend follower and avoid taking a contrarian view. If an investor doesn’t have his own analytical view, then he should follow the research of an experienced market watcher.

What differentiates you from other analysts?

One should not look to be unique or different in the market just for the heck of it; as long as you are making money by applying your own analysis or by using strategies that are yielding returns to the clients. I am more confident with my strategies as they yield effective return on investments.

What gives you that edge?

Making money with the use of technical analysis is thoroughly tested and periodic alterations give me that con-

TO 15,000

fidence and an extra edge.

Is there any applicable lesson to investing?

Believe in yourself, be honest and follow money management rules with 100% discipline.

How much of what you do is gut feel?

You need to rely on gut feeling for

every task. But to work on a gut feeling you need preparation. It is difficult to figure out gut feeling while trading or investing, but I think it holds a major role after understanding the theory and completing back testing work.

Do you try to anticipate or follow market trends?

Following rather than anticipating

trends is the most difficult task. We follow the trends in the market.

-When you put money on a trade and it goes against you, how do you decide when you're wrong?

What do you do next?

culating the worst side of it.

Whether I can digest losses if the investment goes wrong is the responsibility I undertake every time. If Investments are “theme based” then I strictly follow stop losses. If investments are on the basis of “expansion in current growth” then I prefer to average the same. For trading, I simply follow stop losses that I decide before entering into the trade. I never trade on hope.

patience to track all investments as term, duration and place of storage will be different. Is it always required to invest in many instruments for achieving as per the proposed plan?

Mutual fund is the answer to this question. This is the only product that gives option to investors to take opportunity in equity and debt for any tenure. Thus helps in planning for child education, marriage and one’s retirement too. SIP helps in making investments in smaller amounts resulting in getting benefitted through compounding returns.

Exclusive child plans would suit for child education or marriage respectively. These funds invest 70% in stocks and 30% in debt which gives an exposure to equity asset class

that provides best returns when invested for long time. As equity funds provide high liquidity, investors in equity funds book profit and redeem within 2 years of their investment. Since child plans are invested for a purpose, it creates discipline for parents to stay invested for a longer duration and avail the benefits of a mutual fund in terms of returns, taxation, etc.

All child plans may not have outperformed a normal large, mid or small cap funds. But child plan like HDFC Children’s Gift fund has given over 20% in the last 5 years. Since these mutual funds also have exit load for redemption over 1 year and go upto 7 years. Due to this penalty for early redemptions, this feature comes as

an advantage to parents to deter redemptions. Tax on the returns from these funds will not be in the hands of the parents as fund is in the name of the child. However, if an investor is disciplined enough to invest for a longer tenure say 18 years to 22 years then one could also invest in an equity fund like UTI opportunities fund as they have out-beaten the returns as compared to other non-equity or hybrid based investments.

Considering the child is 3 years old, with an investment of Rs.15000 per month at annualized returns of 13%, redemption proceeds will be over Rs. 80 lakhs when child attains 18 years.

Any redemption from equity fund post 1 year is tax free which comes as an advantage in enjoying complete

returns from the product.

There are few exclusive schemes for the purpose of post retirement too. Franklin Templeton Pension fund has given a decent return of 11%.

These funds invest upto 60% in debt and 40% in equity. Investment of Rs.15000 per month with annualized return of 11% will give about Rs. 2.3 crore in 25 years. If the same amount is invested in an equity fund with 13% annualized return, will add another Rs.1.3 crore to your kitty.

Before investing in any scheme, be clear on the requirement and the amount you expect to fulfill each of your goals in order to decide and arrive at the amount of savings that needs to be done for making such investment on a monthly basis.

or most part of the last week Indian Rupee was stuck in a range of 61.35 and 61.60 on spot, however, during last Friday, active demand for US Dollars from a few large importers and state run enterprises pushed the pair towards 61.80/82 levels on spot. Over the entire week, alleged bids from state run banks, fronting for the central bank kept the pair supported around the 61.35/45 levels. At the same time, Custodial banks and exporters offered into whatever upticks happened above 61.60 levels. FIIs are loading up on Indian Rupee bets, evident from the 12 month forwards on NDF, which is trading 110/15 paise under onshore. Easy liquidity in the onshore, expectation for a reduction in key policy rates and appreciation bias are what fuelling the contraction in the forward rates in the offshore.

With such a wide differential existing between two markets, it can be herculean for the Rupee to depreciate meaningfully. Rupee might need the

invisible touch of the sovereign to get past 62 mark.

Interestingly the recent foreign exchange activity report from the RBI showed that the central bank remains an active two way player in the USD/INR pair. It appears that RBI could still be apprehensive about the durability of stability in the Rupee. As a result, they have continued to employ an active interventionist approach towards foreign exchange markets. As a result, Rupee has gone into a slumber against the US Dollar and which in turn continues to encourage global speculators to go long on Rupee on an unhedged basis to play the Euro and Yen carry trade.

At the same time, an environment of suppressed volatility can also breed complacency amongst the commercials who have foreign currency liabilities or payments. Though RBI has tried use verbal persuasion to get them to hedge their commitments but if history is any guide then it might prove difficult. It is human nature to ignore risk, when things appears calmer and greater the serenity, the higher the complacency.

In fact there is talk that RBI might increase the provisioning ratios for banks who have clients with unhedged foreign currency liabilities.

In this tsunami of global liquidity, it is hard to find a financial asset market or financial asset class which has not taken part in the carnival orchestrated by the central banks. India being a dominant theme, is able to attract sizable portion of that liquidi-

ty. The liquidity deluge can continue till the time a major reality check happens. Infact, currently the rise in the US Dollar against many currencies could be one of the reason why Rupee is not trying too hard to appreciate against the Greenback. Though, Rupee has appreciated quite a bit against non-Dollar currencies. Next year, if the US Fed gets cold feet about the sharp appreciation in the US Dollar and decides to talk it down and or US economic data disappoints, then we can expect immense pressure on Rupee to appreciate even against the Greenback. We would then expect the central bank to step in and protect the Greenback, but it shall come at a considerable cost.

India is experiencing a goldilocks financial cycle with a firm US Dollar coexisting with shift of carry flows towards theme based markets like ours. A similar cycle had played out during 1996-2000, when a firmer US Dollar and weaker Asian and EM growth made speculators shun hard assets like commodities & real estate and alternative currencies like Gold. Currently, China alongwith host of other Asian and EM economies are weak and can not shoulder another commodity reflation cycle. At the same time, a stronger US Dollars is making speculators shun Gold, inspite of the monetary devaluation from the central banks in the G8.

Inflation is manifesting through financial assets in India and world over.

Financial assets like equity and debt

are benefitting disproportionately from this boom.

Economic data was mixed from India. India's industrial production growth improved in September to 2.5% from 0.5% and 0.4% over the previous two months. However on an absolute basis, growth remains dismal. For a developing country like India, growing year on year at 2.5% is not impressive. IIP growth has to move above 5/6% and sustain before we can say that the industrial sector has managed to attain escape velocity. Mining grew at 0.7%, manufacturing at 2.5% and electricity at 3.9% y/y in September. Capital goods grew at 11.6%, but it has been very volatile in the past due to the nature of the order booking and execution of the industry. At the same time, consumer goods contracted by 4% due to an 11.3% contraction in consumer durables. A continued sharp drop in the consumer durables is an indication of a weak consumption demand. Consumer nondurables grew at a snail pace of 1.5%.

The Consumer-Price Index (CPI)based inflation fell to an all-time low of 5.52% in October against 6.46% in the previous month. Consumer food price inflation, which has a 42.71% weigh in CPI, eased to 5.59% from 7.67% in September and 12.93% in October last year. CPI can remain subdued over the next few months, as low commodity prices and high base effect benefit.

Insuring Children’s Health Is Important Afternoon Despatch & Courier

MUMBAI | MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2014

MUKESH KUMAR

Executive Director HDFC ERGO General Insurance.

« INSURANCE

ith changing dynamics of the healthcare business, it is foregone conclusion that Health Insurance is no more a product meant only for elderly people. In today’s world, where stress and uncertainty are inseparable from human life, Health Insurance is the best hedge against the rising cost of staying healthy. In fact, having a Health Insurance is no more an option today – it is a necessity. With medical inflation estimated around 15% since last few years, not having a Health Insurance could be risky. Despite understanding the importance of Health Insurance as a financial protection product, people generally show a relaxed attitude when it comes to taking Health Insurance for children.

The fact of today’s life is that the medical

emergencies can strike on anyone and anytime, irrespective of age. While experiencing health issues in the old age is almost natural, the incidences of health issues in younger children are not rare. In fact, young children need additional medical attention due to a variety of reasons. Let’s understand the need of Health

Insurance among the young children.

Weaker immune system: Young children’s immune system is not fully developed, which means their natural capability to fight diseases is limited. Children, especially very young ones, are more vulnerable as their immune system is quite fragile.

Children’s propensity to health problems: Children are generally vulnerable to diseases due to their occupation. In general, they tend to contract diseases more than the adults.

They often tend to come in contact with other children who could be suffering with contagious diseases. They tend to eat food that is not always healthy and hygienic. And they are also vulnerable to physical strain due to the sporting activities they get involved in. Any of these seemingly simple conditions can get serious if adequate care is not taken.

Prone to accidents due to slow reflexes: The reflexes of young children to external actions are relatively slower compared to grown-ups.

Children’s reflexes to external actions develop with age. So till the time the reflexes are adequately developed, young children remain prone to accidents.

While children are susceptible to illnesses, diseases and accidents, specialized care – in terms of expertise and equipment – is required while treating them. And the specialized care comes at costs that more than the routine care.

Amid this scenario, one cannot afford to wait for the “right” time for taking Health Insurance.

It is a product meant for everyone from a newborn child to an elderly individual – all of who are vulnerable to medical emergencies, irrespective of age, gender or family’s medical history.

Your Kids Mimic Your Money Habits The changing behavioral trends among parents and kids on money management and how they adapt to each others needs and requirements is a matter which needs introspection. Ultimately, getting your kids to become good money managers depends on you and your spending habits.

C

By Dominic Rebello

hildren tend to pick up their parents’ spending habits marginally more than their saving habits, at least among those who earn annually upwards of Rs 8 lakhs. This and various other eye opening facts come across through a ING Zing Survey, held during the last one month, collecting feedback from 4,067 parents across the country. The survey captures the changing behavioral trends among parents and kids on money management and how they adapt to each others needs and requirements. This year over 65% of respondents represented metropolitan cities, while the remaining from rest of the country, covering an age group of 25-45 years.

Over 80% of respondents, read parents, who participated the annual ING Zing survey said they believe that their children follow their money habits. Also the study observes that as your income levels go up, children tend to develop spending habits more while parents’ tend to shore up their savings habits.

As e-commerce growth in India gathers rapid pace, the survey also asked parents on their perceptions about children and online shopping.

While 84% of parents have shopped online themselves, when it comes to their children a majority of them felt they were worried, for different reasons. And the most prominent of them being “worried that the child be tempted to buy items that are not necessary”. They also strongly felt that children might fall prey to online scamsters.

When asked if they allowed their children to shop online, 49% parents said they will not encourage their children to shop online. About

one-third of the parents assist their children in buying a product after being identified or found by the child online.

As regards Pocket Money, last year over 50% of parents were not in favour of giving out pocket money, but this year we see that two- thirds of parents are in favour of giving pocket money to the child above the age of 10. Over 80% parents felt that their child is more knowledgeable about savings and more than one-third of parents believed that their child is “smarter about saving” and understand the value of money better than they were at that age.

Parents who see themselves as spenders give more pocket allowance to their children. Children who are better at financial planning also seem to receive higher pocket money from their parents.

Last year, Zing Survey had observed interesting insights on the concept of pocket money, on how Indian parents use pocket money to reward their children to score high marks in academics and not freebies.

For Saving avenues, parents with younger kids prefer to open a child’s savings bank account over other investment options and investing in

fixed deposits is second most preferred choice.

Children’s education was the most significant reason for parents to save. Among parents with older children Insurance and FDs came out as the most popular methods of investments. For younger kids, 58% parents save below 10%; for older kids, 75% save between 10 to 20%. A majority of parents believed that children only above 15 years should be allowed to operate a bank account independently. This should be seen in the current context where RBI had recently allowed banks to offer independent savings bank accounts to children above 10 years.

Also mothers edged out fathers as influencers when it came to money management by children; 72.7% of respondents thought kids asked mothers maximum questions about money. Also more than half of the parents save less than 10% of their monthly income for child’s future.

« INSURANCE ost of us live in a belief of immortality; to us early deaths, families going through bad times are only stories that we hear from a friend or about our friends or distant relative or a neighbour. We sympathize with them but ignore the odds that something similar can happen to us which will leave one’s family in despair and financial deprivation.

The irony is that we buy car insurance without a second thought but ignore life insurance which is much more important for the family.

Life insurance is needed for everyone who makes an economic impact to somebody else’s life. At any point in time one should have planned in such a manner that in one’s absence, the family will not need to compromise on their current lifestyle and yet-to-be fulfilled needs.

MUMBAI | MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2014

At any point in time one should have planned in such a manner that in one’s absence, the family will not need to compromise on their current lifestyle and yet-to-be fulfilled needs Here are 7 common mistakes people make...

“I am single. I don’t need life insurance!"

Life insurance is a necessity if you have any sort of financial obligation or people financially dependent on you. You may be running some loans or have credit card outstanding at any point of time. In your absence your family will have to repay them back to bank. Life insurance can help you cover such liabilities and relieve your family from your financial obligations.

“I am young and fit. Why should I take life insurance? “ Life Insurance is all about covering the financial void in your absence for your family - a sudden death of young and healthy person due to an accident or disease can deprive the family of sound financial future. On the contrary, it actually makes a financial sense to buy life insurance if you are young as it helps you lock in lower rates and guaranteed coverage. This especially helps because later in life you may develop health issues and will not be eligible for insurance or will have to pay a heavy price for it.

“I don’t have kids. Why do I have to think oflife insurance?”

You should consider life insurance because it secures that comfortable lifestyle and provides a safe financial future for your spouse in your absence. Your spouse will still have to manage the loan EMIs and monthly expenses. This will be more difficult if your spouse is not working as it will take time for a career onset, which mayfurther require education or training. With life insurance, your spouse can cope up and move ahead in life.

“I already have a life insurance policy purchased few years back. I am done.”

Life insurance isn’t about ‘Buy once and then forget about it’. Your coverage should be reviewed at every important milestone of your life like – marriage, birth of a child, purchase of an asset etc. Every important milestone should prompt you to revisit your insurance coverage. Even if there are no big changes, a review every 3 to 5 years will help you keep pace with inflation, change in standard of living and change in income.

Such reviews of your life insurance coverage will help you get the best value for the premiums you pay as per your attained age.

“Life insurance does not give any returns.”

Many people compare life insurance with an

investment product; however it’s not about returns but about the peace of mind! Life insurance covers the risk of ‘dying too early’; by paying a few thousand rupees every year one could avail cover in lakhs and crores.

“Life insurance is very expensive.”

The premiums for life insurance have almost become less than half of what was offered 10 years back. There are many affordable life insurance plans now available online. For instance: A 30 year old male can get a cover of Rs 1 crore by paying a premium around Rs 6500 for a 20 year term. This works out to be less than Rs 18 per day making it probably cheaper than your daily commute cost or mobile bill for a day or even expense for a cup of coffee.

“I can defer buying this policy for a few years. What’s the hurry?”

You need life insurance till the time you accumulate sufficient liquid assets and/or have reduced dependence. By deferring the decision to purchase, you take a big chance when you depend solely on your savings in the early years of your life, especially if you have dependents. If you die without coverage for them there may be no other means of provision after the depletion of your current assets.

Your ATM Usage Pattern Need Not Hurt Your Pocket If you are the kind of person who has the habit of hopping across to your nearest ATM to withdraw small amounts of cash, because you cannot really rely on the use of plastic money, or are still not compatible with the idea of internet banking, there is a piece of bad news for you! You may soon receive a communication from your bank saying that it will charge you anything between Rs 5 - 20 on your ATM transactions. This is applicable if you exceed the limit of five ATM transactions in a month in your home bank. Also, if you are using the debit card in the ATM machine of a bank other than your own, the free transactions will be limited to three.

« PERSONNAL FINANCE

f you are a compulsive ATM hopper, banking with the largest commercial bank of the country the State Bank of India, you may already be fretting and perhaps even complaining about the fact that free ATM transactions have been restricted to five in a month and you are expected to cough up anything between Rs 5 - 20 for your ATM transactions, the moment you cross the limit of your five free transactions. This includes non financial transactions such as checking your balance and changing your PIN as well.

The same holds true if you are banking with private sector banks such as Axis Bank and HDFC Bank as they have indicated on their website that beginning November 1st, Rs 20

(excluding taxes) will be charged for financial transactions beyond the limit of the first five ATM transactions in a month that will remain free. For every non financial transaction that also falls within the limit of five, HDFC Bank will charge Rs 8.5 (plus taxes) while Axis bank has decided to charge Rs 9.5 (plus taxes).

And so far, we just told you about the use of your ATM/debit card in your home branch. If you are an SBI card holder using your card to withdraw cash at the Kotak Bank ATM everytime you go to dine out with your office pals after a long day's work, your free ATM transactions have now been restricted to three instead of the earlier five. But that's if you are a resident of cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore. If you live in any city other than these, you can still get away with five free transactions at ATMs of lenders other than your own.

Heavy users of ATM/debit cards, however need not worry about parting with a princely sum for using your own card! You can still remain within your free transaction limits and avoid being charged at all. Wondering how it is to be done? Read on.

Use the debit card of a smaller bank: Unlike the big boys of banking such as SBI, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank, some smaller banks such as Federal Bank, Yes Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank have taken a step back-

machine in tiny amounts to see you through your immediate needs. Withdraw some cash in bulk instead of hopping across to an ATM every single time you need money.

wards and do not want to jeopardise their brand equity by charging their customers on ATM transactions at least in the forseeable future. If you have an account in any such smaller banks, it makes sense for you to use their ATMs instead of the big ticket banks in which your salary probably goes into.

Withdraw cash in bulk: If you do not have an account in the above mentioned smaller banks or are skeptical that they will follow suit by levying charges sooner than later, quit withdrawing cash from the ATM

Make best use of various existing "branchless" facilities: Till date, there are many Indians who shy away from financial transaction made in the virtual space or are wary of revealing their PIN numbers in restaurants or retail outlets where it is now compulsory to punch in one's four digit debit card PIN whenever you pay with your credit card. In this advanced age, banks have put in many layers of security to make your debit card transactions safe at retail point of sale machines.

The same holds true for internet transactions and funds transfer online. Be assured that checks and balances have been put in place to ensure that your financial transactions are secure. Besides, why waste a free transaction by using your ATM/debit card to check your balance at an ATM machine, when you can do so by either use the phone banking facility or by signing in to your banking account Thus, as you can see, you need not necessarily be the "victims" of the new charge that banks have introduced. If you use your bank account judiciously, five ATM transactions for cash withdrawal in a month may well suffice for you.

CMP: Rs. 252 Target Rs. 290 Maintain BUY: PEPL’s scale of business has improved and cash flows remain comfortable. This along with a likely improvement in the lease momentum (and thus the leased portfolio) is likely to be value accretive.

We roll over to a Dec’15 of Rs 290 (from a Sep’15 TP of Rs 270) as we build in the Koramangla land (Bengaluru) acquisition into our estimates.

CMP: Rs. 609 Target Rs. 705 We believe Cipla’s sales and profitability are on an inflection point.

Although organizational realignment across the geographies may contain earnings growth in the near term; company’s strong pipeline of inhalers and complex generics has strong growth potential in medium to longer term. Although near term returns may remain modest, we foresee a much stronger growth path in 2HFY16, FY17 and beyond. We feel the stock is available at comfortable valuations of 18.4X FY17E EPS. We recommend a BUY on the stock with a TP of Rs 705 at 21X FY17E EPS of Rs 33.6.

SANJAN DAY: IT MARKS THE HISTORIC LANDING OF PARSIS IN INDIA 13TH CENTURIES AGO

T

By Dr. Shernaz Baji Avari

he Sanjan Memorial Day is celebrated in a spirit of bonhomie and ‘Parsi-panu’ reflected in the hearts of devout Zarathushtis, both young and old who throng to converge at Sanjan from Mumbai, Navsari, Surat and other nearby places to make this day a truly memorable event.

Our ancestors fled their motherland Iran precisely in 1299 to avoid religious persecution as they were devoted to the Zoroastrian faith, religion and its tenents. To preserve our unique identity and our glorious Mazdayasnie Religion, we landed on the shores of Sanjan after undergoing lots of hardships, sacrifices and pitfalls. When we landed on the shores of Sanjan, we were sheltered and welcomed by the noble King Jadi Rana and the story of the proverbial sugar-in-milk is etched in the heart and soul of every Zarathushti and will remain memorable in the annals of history.

The soil of Sanjan will always remain sacred to us as we grew and flourished from this epicentre.

Let’s take merry-go-round at the festive spirit pervading here. The Sanjan Memorial Pillar also known as the ‘Stambh’ was installed on 6th August, 1917, the brain-child of Sir Jamshetjee Jeejeebhoy, 5th Baronet to immortalise the historic landing by our Parsi forefathers.

The late Rohinton Davierwalla and his gracious wife Bapsy adds a personal touch to this ‘Gahambhar’ by taking keen interest and rendering selfless services.

Donations to maintain this Stambh can be sent to Bapsy Rohinton Daviervala, President, in favour of Sanjan Memorial Column Local Committee at Khan Bahadur’s Bunglow, Sanjan (WR), Tel : 396150.

As always, the Jashan Ceremony starts at 9 a.m. to invoke the blessings of Pak Dadar Ahura Mazda before the ceremonial event performed by the Vada Dasturji of Udwada – Dastur Khurshed Kekobad Dastoor followed by a ‘humbandagi’ (joint prayers by all the devout Zarathushtis who come to this hallowed grounds). Later keynote speakers give their valuable inputs highlighting the event. Our AFTERNOON DESPATCH & COURIER (founded by the late Continued on pg 18 «

Creativity Through Art & Photography I

By Sam Bagli of Activity High School

comme my professional career as an Art Director at D’Cunha Advertising and as one of my first major achievements I pioneered the concept of Pop Art Advertising on BEST buses for Dipy’s Sauce as a Sam Bagli brand. I visualised and designed several advertising concepts with a few memorable campaigns such as Lakme, Cleartone and Amul Nutramul Dada.

As an Art Director working with maestros in photography like Jehangir Guzder, Adrian Stevens and Mitter Bedi, who’s brilliance and zeal inspired me to take up Photography, there onwards creating an interesting career shift for myself. Having had such great exposure and guidance I turned to mainstream photography and have been committed to this industry for the past 35 years. As a photographer I have explored several areas and have worked for leading advertising agencies and corporate clients. I grew famous with Fashion Photography through my campaigns for Garden Silk, Lakme and Morarjee Textiles.

I am currently also working on several Jewellery campaigns with Mina Jewellers, Continued from pg 17 «

Behram Contractor popularly known as Busybee) is the only paper which takes out a special Sanjan Day Supplement completely done by myself and my husband Baji and we give hundreds of complimentary copies to devotees who clamour for more copies of this paper.

Such is the impact is on the ‘humdins’ on Sanjan Day which is always celebrated in the month ‘Tir’ (November) on ‘Bahman Roj’ (day).

At this congregation which is akin to a festive ‘mela’, Parsi artefacts like frames of Lord Asho Zarathushtra, chains, pendants and other religious symbols are sold here along with beautifully embroidered sacarves, rangoli dabbas, nightwear and gowns along with Parsi favourite eatables like ‘sariyas’, ‘bhakhras’ and mint leaves to be kept in tea water for their special aroma and freshness, ‘kolmi-no-patio’ (Prawn patia), tarapori patio (made from dry Bombay Ducks) and other herbs are sold here.

This is followed by a lavish free Community lunch and drinks (not hot, ofcourse!) to satiate their thirst and appetite. All credit goes to the caterers for churning a delicious meal for such a vast number of devotees.

There is an Agiary at Sanjan known as the Dasturji Kookadaru Dar-e-mehr. The foundation stone laying ceremony was performed on 22nd November 1987, by Dasturji Kekobad Dastoor and Mr. Homi

Minawalla Jewellers, ManuBhai Jewellers and Priority Jewellers.

I did not avoid what the Industry defines as not glamorous and used my skill set to make everyday commodities look appealing. This took me to being recognized as one of the prominent Industrial Photographers in India. I also achieved recognition for other projects such as being one of the first photographers in India to introduce QuicktimeVR surround videos for IndiaCar.com. Having had a wide array of experience in still photography I also ventured into directing advertising and corporate films.

My creative journey does not stop here as my passion for art was recently reRanina Chairman, along with other Trustees of the Mazda Adarian Trust.

Incidentally, no Agiary was built before 1987 in Sanjan.

As a mark of respect to our minuscule community who has enriched the Nation over hundred of years with our immense contribution in almost every field, the Western Railway has given a special permission to the Gujarat Express and Flying Ranee to halt at Sanjan Railway Station. Bus facilities are also provided by various Pari Baugs to facilitate enthusiastic devotees to visit Sanjan.

Quite close is the STAMBH, is the TIME CAPSULE. This historic event was flagged off on Roj Bahman, Mah Tir 1370 Y.Z.,

awakened a few years ago by doing something as simple as trying to assist my daughter through art school. As I continued to create various art forms using different techniques and mediums I began to surprise myself with the quality of work I produced. I then started to pursue my hobby into professionally defining myself as an Artist and now have reached a stage where I wish to share my work with the external audience through various platforms. Creative experience for me stands completed as I am also currently imparting knowledge gained over the years to students at Activity High School to help them learn Photography and Art so they can learn, grow and create thee own forms of expression.

Karyna and Katriena wishing Sanjan Day greetings to Zoroastrians.

Monday 20th November 2000 A.D. This Time Capsule given by the house of Godrej was ceremoniously buried in the ground amidst chants of hymns and prayers and commissioned by the then Trustees of the Bombay Parsi Punchayet.

It contains replicas and miniatures of items exemplifying the heritage of the Zoroastrian Community since its landing in India 13 centuries ago.

May our community thrive, grow flourish, live and let-live not only in India but al over the world and now specifically with the JIYO PARSI SHCEME initiated by the Government of India with a budget of 10 crores to be used by foundations like PARZOR headed by Dr. Shernaz Cama of Delhi, for a period of 4 years.

Let’s respect each other’s views amicably, however diverse they may seem to ours, live peacefully and hand down to the generations to follow, a rich heritage of our religion and culture.

mla powder (available at chemist shops) is a natural astringent, skin toner and beautifier. It’s a must on your kitchen shelf as it not only enhances the beauty of your face when used in face packs but also promotes luxuriant hair, controls hair loss, stimulates hair roots and promotes hair growth.

Simply dilute some awla powder with a little warm water and apply it as a face mask. Effective for oily skins and flawed complexions. If your skin is normal or on the dry side add fresh milk cream or any fruit pulp like banana or papaya along with honey to your awla powder and turn it into a beautifying face mask.

External Skin And Hair Care Regimen

If

you are using the natural fruit, dilute it with a little water, adding a teaspoon of honey and a dash of turmeric.

Its a very good face tonic too.

Once in a while discard soap. Rub and scrub your wet face and body with amla powder till it flakes off. An

instant clean, petal smooth lustrous skin is yours as you step out of bath. You can even oil massage your entire body before washing off with amla powder.

Make a thick paste of amla powder with just plain water and massage well into the scalp and roots to nourish it.

Later wash off with plain tap water. Condition if you like.

When you make that ‘henna’ paste overnight, don’t forget to add a tablespoon of amla powder along with coffee powder and a tablespoon of oil too. Also lightly oil the hair the previous night. This way your scalp and hair will never feel dry.

Mix shikakai, areetha and amla powder together and wash it off like a shampoo.

Care should be taken to see that your head is previously oiled or your scalp naturally oily

otherwise it has slightly drying effect. In that case apply a volumised conditioner later.

Whip a couple of eggs to a creamy froth. Add amla powder, curd and oil. Apply it liberally all over your hair massaging well at the roots. Wear a shower cap to avoid stains on your forehead, neck & clothes. If your hair feels sticky and oily after washing off with plain water, wash off with your regular shampoo to bring out that perfect shine. Lastly, brush and feel your hair bloom as your man runs his fingers through your hair, gently caressing, stroking and admiring it. A little admiration, a warm glance, a kind word, a sincere praise, thanks and gratitude is, what generally makes a woman’s multitasking day seem bright and beautiful. Am I right?

By Dr. Darius Homi Umrigar

ill the advent of Zarathustra, there were only two groups of people inhabiting the earth. One belonged to the White Side of Nature and were known as the Yazdan Parast Mazdayasnis. The other belonged to the Dark Side of Nature and were called the Daevayasnis, that is, those who worshiped the Dark and Evil Forces of Nature. These were the pagans and heathens. There was no organised religion before the coming of Zarathustra.

There were, therefore, constant fierce feuds between these two camps. The White Side of Nature was represented by the Peshdadiyan and Kyanian Kings and paladins, who fought relentlessly and bravely against the Daevas and their followers. This struggle went on for a long time between these two forces.

After some time, however, it was realized that the forces of the Dark Side were gaining an upper hand. A great fall seemed imminent. It was then that Geush Urva that is literally, the Soul of the Earth implored Lord Ahura Mazda, to send a Saviour. Ahura Mazda showed Geush Urva, the subtle invisible body of Zarathushtra and assured him that he would create him who would show to the mankind the path of purity. This appeased Geush rva. (The true meaning of Geush Urva, is not the “soul of the Ox’ as rendered

State of affairs before Zoroaster’s birth

by Professor Zaehner and others, but the sub-angelic potentiality. It is allegorically called Geush, because it possesses the blissful characteristics in common with the cow-kind).

At last when the proper time arrived, preparations were made in the heavens for the descent of Zarathushtra.

THE BIRTH OF ZARATHUSHTRA : For three days before Zarathushtra was actually born, the surrounding place became illuminated.

Yet another marvel, which is recorded, is that Zarathushtra laughed outright at his birth. According to Professor Jackson, “The tradition is recorded by Pliny, who observes in his “Natural History”, that “Zoroaster was the only person who ever laughed on the same day on which he was born. We hear, too, that his brain pulsated so strongly that it repelled the hand when laid upon it, as presage of his Wisdom”. This was, because the holy Prophet’s soul was FARROKHTUM that is MOS AUSPICIOUS, being sin-free, and was not subject to the vicissitudes of life, for he took birth as a Saviour.

According to the Farvardin Yasht, in the birth and progress of Zarathushtra, the waters and plants rejoiced, in his birth and growth, all the creatures of the good creations cried out, “Hail, Hail, to us!! For He is born, the Athravan

J.M. SHROFF TRANSPORT PRIVATE LIMITED SANJAN DAY GREETINGS TO ALL ZOROASTRIANS

Spitama Zarathushtra”.

As Zarathushtra grew up, the demons tried all sorts of tricks and artifices in their stock to destroy him, but failed miserably. Besides possessing great Wisdom and other Spiritual Powers, Zarathushtra also possessed AOJ, which is the special divine power or potentiality possessed by Ameshaspands (Archangels). He also possessed the Kyan glory.

In short, Zarathushtra was an angelic being among man. He was a YAZATA in the garb of a man. His body was not made of the earthly element like us mortals, but was of the fiery element.

He was a scion of the Ameshaspands in human form, whose mode of life radically differed from the rut of humanity. Zarahushtra’s birth took place under exceptional circumstances and the law applicable to him for birth was a unique, exceptional one (Aves,

aevodatahe).

He was the only one who listened to the revelations and commandments of Ahura Mazda. Zarathushtra is the only being one earth for whom there is a glorifying formula (Khshnooman – we have already seen earlier stated above).

Otherwise, such Khshnoomans are reserved only for the blissful divine forces. Yazatas and Ameshaspands.

Zarathushtra, is therefore, the only true “superman” in a long epoch.

In many pictures/paintings, purported to be those of the Vakhshoor-eVakhshooran that is Prophet of Prophets, Holy Zarathushtra is shown with a ball of fire in his hand. In reality, this indicated that the Prophet’s body was composed of the most subtle element of fire, it was transparent and had no shadow. The current of the fire-energy in him flowed as aura through his right hand, which gave the appearance of the Prophet holding a ball of fire in his hand.

In the Ahunavad Gatha (Yasna Ha 28) in the very first strophe, it is said, “Yaanim Mano, Yaanim Vacho, Yaanim Shothnai...”, “The thoughts, words and deeds of Holy Zarathushtra contain the benedictions of Ahura”.

In Yasna Ha 51:12 – (Gatha Vohukhshthra), the Prophet is called Ururaosta Asto “the most advanced messenger in the evolution towards perfection”.

The Pahlavi Writers have called our Prophet, “RAMZ-GU” one who speaks in cryptic terms. In the Gathas, Zarathushtra is depicted as the only one (aevo) who has been sent to the earth for the guidance of Ahura Mazda’s creations. He is the exceptional one who has heard the advices and admonitions of Ahura Mazda (Yasna 29-8).

It was Zarathushtra who laid the foundation for the growth and development of all the major religion of the world.

As Zarathushtra was not an ordinary mortal, he did not die like one. The Pahlavi writers have used the word, Vikhiz to indicate his passing away. It means that after the Prophet destroyed Tur-bara-tur, the phantom form of the Zenith of grossness, he took the brunt of the reaction of such a violent destruction on himself, thereby dispatching the elements in his “body” to their respective regions.

he IRAN LEAGUE was established by its Founder President late Sir Hormusji Cowasjee Dinshaw Adenwala way back in 1922. Till today and now under the Presidentship of Vispi S. Dastur, it has stood the test of time rendering yeoman services to the country and Parsi community for the past 92 long years which is a great feat for any organisation.

Every year it pays homage to its Founder President as well as Dr. Dadabhoy Naoroji on their birth anniversaries by garlanding their statues. It honours the sacrifices of the ‘Fallen Members of the Armed Forces’ by laying wreaths at the War Memorial at Khareghat Colony recalling their heroic deeds. The Iran League along with Bombay Parsee Association – both under the Presidentship of Vispi Dastur stands as a solitary example in the whole country of a civilian organisation paying such homage to the armed forces.

The Iran League has always held an optimistic view of the country, community, the great and ancient religion of Zarathushtra and the people, especially the youth who are the real trustees of posterity. It believes in encouraging members of the community in all walks of life so that our past glory, our history, our religion, our heritage, our traditions, our ‘Parsee Panu’ are passed on from generation to generation. It has endeavoured to spread the history of Iran and forge better relations between the two countries, it’s main object has been to create in the hearts of our young generation, a love and reverence for the ancient land of Iran which was the home of our ancestors and where many glorious and mighty rulers like Cyrus, Darius and Xerxes of different Persian dynasties ruled. To maintain cultural relations between the two countries, Iran League offers guidance and help to all those who wish to visit Iran. In the past, it was regularly sending financial aid to Zarthosti Educational Institutions, Orphanages as well as individuals till the time when due to

You will find this small fruit resembling our ‘lime’ or ‘limbu’ more with the vegetable vendors than at the fruit stalls. It is pale green in colour with fine vertical stripes on its outer rind. Reasonably priced, you can either eat this fruit in its raw form, juice it or blend it with water, honey or jiggery and adrak, to enhance its flavour and nutritive value.

You can make jams, ‘moorabbas’, pickles and marmalades and bottle the same.

The Vitamin ‘C’ content of one awla fruit is more than that contained in 3 to 4 oranges Like most fruits, the awla too contains 80% water besides minute quantities of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fibrous elements, calcium, phosphorous, iron, Vitamin ‘A’ and ofcourse Vitamin ‘C’ in abundance. While some may or may not agree, I do agree with the Noble laureate Dr. Lions Polling who says “taking excess doses of Vitamin ‘C’ protects us from

colds and fevers”. Shall I go one step further and say with utmost confidence that it builds up our body’s immunity as well? What is immunity you may ask? It is our body’s resistance power to fight and ward off diseases that comes to strike our internal anatomy.

Considered sacred amongst our Hindu brethren, the amla plant is considered to be Nature’s gift of ‘amrut’ to mankind. Why only amlas? I think Nature’s bounty and blessings bestowed upon us aplenty in the form of fresh natural vegetation has abundant nutritional as well as medicinal properties to keep us vibrantly active in mind and body.

Some of you may not like to ‘bite’ into its sweet, sour and

astringent taste; in that case just cut it into four or five pieces after discarding the seed or shred it minutely and soak it in a glass of water. You can go on sipping this water and later eat the awla with a tablespoon of honey.

Nowadays, you can get pure packaged awla juices and squashes like the ginger-awla squash, Amla Panchamrut, a general tonic to be taken in small doses, Diabetic Amla Panchamrut for sugar control

as well as some healthy sweets and candies. All these are available at most health food shops so you can have these preferably when the awla fruit is not in season or otherwise too. Since the Vitamin ‘C’ content of awlas purifies your blood it will keep your skin glowing, anti-wrinkle and also helps to thwart the natural ageing process. Whenever you feel a bit weak, tired or fatigued, come home from the scorching heat or your child feels exhausted, say ‘cheers’ to your chilled glass of amla juice!

It also brings that sparkle to tired eyes and is very efficacious to the entire nervous system. It is also useful in uric acid troubles. It is said that if fresh amla juice is taken for 2 to 3 months, it helps in conditions of sterility and semen-weakness.

Besides, it is helpful in constipation and jaundice too.

It cleanse the mouth and restores taste and is even helpful in cases of deafness.

Tips And Tricks To Maintain Oral Hygiene In Adults A

By Dr. Varsha Daryanani

better and more confident you will come alive every morning and end every evening if you stick with a consistent oral hygiene routine.

Many adults experience significant dental problems that can be prevented through basic oral hygiene practices, like Dr. Varsha regular dentist Daryanani appointments which should be taken atleast twice a year.

Daily cleaning of your teeth, gums, and tongue, combined with annual check-ups helps take care of harmful bacteria and microbes that may cause tooth decay, bleeding gums, and oral infections. If you neglect the care of your teeth at home and fail to go to the dentist regularly,

experience embarrassing conditions, such as plaque, tartar, and bad breath.

To maintain optimal oral health, adults should brush their teeth at least twice a day and floss once a day preferably before going to bed.

Flossing is also an essential part of an adult’s daily oral hygiene regimen. Regular brushing and flossing can prevent unpleasant conditions, such as plaque and bad odor.

At Crown Corner, we believe that Oral health begins with clean teeth.

Dr. Varsha Daryanani suggests a few tips that every individual should diligently follow: Brush your teeth at least twice a day

When you brush, don’t rush. Take enough time to do a thorough job. It is very important to use the proper equipment. Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush that fits your mouth comfortably.

Practice good technique.

Hold your toothbrush at a slight angle – aiming the bristles toward the area where your tooth meets your gum. Gently brush with short back-and-forth motions. Remember to brush the outside, inside and chewing surfaces of your teeth, as well as your tongue.

accumulated plaque could lead to the development of empty spaces around your teeth. If you neglect the care of your teeth at home and fail to go to the dentist regularly, you could lose your teeth. It is very important to eat right and drink a lot of water. By avoiding sticky foods, it will help to keep your teeth germ free.

Proper oral hygiene is also important in helping you stay healthy, especially if you have risk factors such as diabetes and heart problems. Plus, oral hygiene elevates your sense of self-esteem. You’ll feel good, look great, avoid unnecessary bills, and experience an improvement in many of your day-today social interactions. Maintaining proper oral hygiene will also ensure that you won’t

Keep your equipment clean. Always rinse your toothbrush with water after brushing. Store your toothbrush in an upright position, if possible, and allow it to air-dry until using it again.

Know when to replace your toothbrush. in a new toothbrush or a replacement head for your electric or battery-operated toothbrush every three to four months – or sooner if the bristles become frayed. Replace your brush or brush attachment every three months.

Invest

It is also important to remember to never share your toothbrush, as this can spread infections.

For most adults, a toothbrush with a small head and a compact, angled arrangement of long and

short, round-end bristles is fine. Medium or soft bristles are best for most people. Use an electric brush with an oscillating or rotating head. If in doubt, ask your dentist.

You can’t reach the tight spaces between your teeth and under the gumline with a Toothbrush.

That’s why daily flossing it is

important.

When you floss: Don’t skimp. Break off about 18 inches (46 centimetres) of

dental floss. Wind most of the floss around the middle finger on one hand, and the rest around the middle finger on the other hand. Grip the floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers. Be gentle.

Guide the floss between your teeth using a rubbing motion. Don’t snap the floss into your gums.

When the floss reaches your gum line, curve it against one tooth. Take it one tooth at a

time. Slide the floss into the space between your gum and tooth. Use the floss to gently rub the side of the tooth in an up-and-down motion. Unwind fresh floss as you progress to the rest of your teeth.

As long as you do a thorough job, it doesn’t matter if you brush or floss first.

However, flossing before brushing might allow more fluoride from your toothpaste to reach between your teeth.

Nutritious & Delicious

O

By Dr. Shernaz Baji Avari

n auspicious days the Parsis savour, ‘Sev’, ‘Ravo’ or ‘Sev Ni Kheer’.

SEV NI KHEER

Ingredients 1) Fine brown vermicelli (1/2 cup) Don’t use the vermicelli used in making faloodas as well as cooking dishes) 2) Milk as required 3) Sugar (as per the sweetness you require) 4) Cardamom powder (ealichi) (1/2 to 1 teaspoon) 5) Jaiphal powder (nutmeg) (1/2 to 1 teaspoon) 6) Chopped mixed dry fruits (as per requirement) (almonds, walnuts, raisins, figs, dates, pistachios

The Parsis call this sweet dish ‘Sev Ni Kheer’ while the Muslims call it ‘Sheerkhurma’.

Heat the vermicelli (without oil if you are going to serve it cold but add bit of ghee to the vermicelli if you are serving hot) for a few seconds, tossing it in a vessel. Add all the chopped mixed dried fruits.

Saute for a minute, add elaichi powder, jaiphal powder, milk and sugar and simmer the whole contents till it becomes a thick creamy consistency.

The combination of hot milk, dry fruits with sugar and vermicelli is a highly nutritious delicacy. It is also high in calorie content due to

all the mixed dry fruits added along with sugar. Ideal in the winter season.

DRY FRUITS – DID YOU KNOW? Do you know that all the sweet dry fruits that you consume are actually fruits from which moisture is evaporated in the presence of sunlight? Please remove the misconception that they are grown on trees or even underground! When carefully dried they are highly valuable and retain their nutritive value They are quick energy giving foods, packed with vitamins, calcium, protein and iron and ofcourse delicious and nutritious as the title suggests.

The Golden Rule Can the Golden Rule bring solutions to personal and world problems today? Beth Packer says that a deeper look at this ancient rule reveals healing solutions.

"The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, reveals an infinitely powerful divine law, the law of divine Love," said Packer. "This law of Love carries with it infinite solutions with which to meet the problems faced by both mankind and the environment."

Packer will present a talk titled, "The Golden Rule — a powerful force for good in today's world" on Friday, December 12, 2014 (a).

"Whether it is problems regarding our relationships with others, regarding the environment, or a need for better health, the power of divine Love can transform any discordant situation. Audiences will explore how they can utilize this ever operative, allpowerful spiritual Principle in their lives."

Solutions, Healing, and Prayer

Packer's ideas are based on the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Bible, and as discussed in Science and Beth Packer Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

From an early age Beth Packer wanted to help others to experience natural, effective, spiritual healing. An artist, she married and moved with her husband and children to the Middle East.

On their return to Australia, she began teaching and winning awards for her work, later starting a retail business with her husband. Packer became very involved in her

community and found prayer a valuable resource for finding solutions to the myriad of problems faced.

She initiated both community and commercial projects including a regional art event and a community newspaper.

It became clear to Packer that the best way she could help the world was through prayer and so, with the same early desire to help and heal others, she became a fulltime practitioner of Christian Science healing, Packer is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

By Dr. Shernaz Baji Avari

his article is a tribute to the legendary Yoga Guru Padma Vibhushan B.K.S. Iyengar who was fraught with many physical ailments at a young age but who with the help of Yoga and his own determination conquered his afflictions to emerge triumphant and live upto a ripe old age of 95, performing 'Shirshasana' (headstand) at 90! A genius, a scholar in his field, he sparked a global yoga movement and created a growing awareness in the field which is today practiced by millions around the world for optimum good health and balance into our lives at all levels. This 'balance' that I refer to is the 'inner' and 'outer' balance which is termed as 'alignment'. It is not only of our physical body but is achieved when the inner mind reaches every cell of our body. Surprising as it may seem to you, every cell in our body vibrates at its own natural frequency in a healthy state. When the cells are diseased or ill-at-ease there comes a change in their vibratory frequency.

Every cell in our body has the capacity to think, to act,

to react, to reach out, to help other cells in need, to grow, to love or otherwise.

Therefore, if you want your cells to remain young and healthy, nourish them with good thoughts (HUMATA) and good mind (VOHU MANO) along with healthy foods, fresh air and exercise.

Next time when you tell your loved one, "I love you with all my hart:", just think awhile and ponder... wouldn't it be better if you change it to" I love you with all my trillion cells!"

Ofcourse with a chuckle and a twinkle in your eyes!

Yes, the connection between the mind and the body is very intimate and very immediate and both are in a state of constant interaction.

Back then, to our yoga.

It is as

It's a dynamic internal experience which integrates (‘yug’ means to bind) the body, the mind, the senses, the spirit and intellignece with the self says yoga practitioner Dr. Shernaz B. Avari much for the young and the old, the ailing and the aged as it is for the young and healthy.

It's regular practice strengthens our vital force and builds up the body's strength and natural resistance to bear as well as alleviate pain and tackle the root of the problem. It can heal parts of our body which are diseased or ill-

VIVA YOGA at-ease, ignored or neglected.

It restores the mind to simplicity and peace freeing it from confusion and distress. A sense of calm comes from practicing yogic asanas or poses which increases the circulation of fresh blood through the body, purging it of toxins which are mainly the consequences of a fast-paced, irregular, push-button lifestyles full of turmoil and upheavals, unhealthy habits accompanied by poor posture while standing,

sitting, walking or sleeping.

Regular practice of yogic asanas not only restores strength, stamina and flexibility to the physical body and the internal organs and the difference systems of our body like the bony and muscular system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, excretory and reproductive system but it actually influences the chemical balance of the brain which in turn improves the

mental state of being as fresh blood is supplied to the brain making it alert but at the same time also relaxed and calm. In sum, it balances the neuro-muscular, psychophysical and nervous-systematic coordination.

Along with asanas, PRANAYAMAS, which is control of the breath with right breathing techniques rectifies physical, physiological and psychological disorders having a positive impact on stress related diseases.

Along with the mind, the body ad the intellect, it also deals with the 'atma' or the spiritual self bringing in spiritual unity with the divine.

It creates spiritual awareness which is sadly missing in today's complex materialistic world causing stress and strain mostly due to our own actions and reactions with the result that at times we undergo a spiritual void in our lives, devoid of purpose or meaning. This lack of spiritual dimension into our lives and relationships makes us realise that solace and inspiration, peace, happiness and contentment has to come from within and not from external factors.

It is sad — painful to think of thou, Sad I become, lost I behave, lifeless I feel, But at last for a reason I feel That thou with me.

It is sad — painful, thou away from me Then I miss thee and I miss every charm Of Life.

It is sad — painful to think of you in my dream But I enjoy for a single reason Thou with me.

It is sad — painful, thou away from me Sad I become, Lost I behave. lifeless I feel.

Without Thee

Dreaming is a state of mind one enjoys But for a moment And then there is nothing but sadness.

Though pleasant and charming And happy one feels But for a moment.

Mr. Vishwas Joglekar

Words, Words and Words

Words, Words and Words and many say there is nothing else than troubles; But I say there is nothing worth without trouble, trouble and troubles.

Words, words and words What else is there without words without troubles But I say Nothing is sweet without trouble, trouble and troubles.

No charm without words No life without troubles and I say more, more and more.

Stroll and strolls Which lead you nowhere Where I say instead, work work and work as much as you can And you will have in ample with words and with troubles which in itself is more pleasure.

I dislike dreaming For a reason - Thou my life And I dislike dreaming of Life.

But for a reason I dislike feeling That thee is away from me.

Thy presence Is life in me Thy memory Is pain in me.

I love and enjoy every second when Thou is with me, Thee - My life Thee - My day and night Without thee There is no life in me

Thou - My everything, Without thee Nothing's mine Without thee No- one is mine.

Thou - My life Without thee No life in me Oh! I miss thee, Miss everything.

It Glitters

It glitters from a far distance But it is a task to understand, Everyone understands But everyone has difficulties to adjust Though the soul is one Will-power and wishes differ It glitters - but cannot follow.

No doubt your creation is beautiful, But what's the use when it has thorns attached

Everybody has his mind and soul But what's the use where Governing body is different.

Every moment, Something is created and destroyed But oh! Everyone is helpless.

You the dictator of all And your way is wonderful What you give is only sorrow, Who misses gets a relief Living one calls it as Happiness (how sad!)

There is nothing like that Oh! I don't grumble, For one reason because I believe in you as a Supreme dictator.

I don't expect That I will win someday I don't want it that way I will take it in my own way And waiting for my day!

Your creation is all Supreme No doubt Though not bigger,

Memory

It's enchanting To think of thee For every second You are away from me.

It's enchanting To think of thee For a simple reason Thee is always with me.

It's enchanting To be spiritually with thee For I watch thee and No one else can see.

But for one reason I dislike feeling For I miss thee All day and night.

But for another I dislike feeling For thee is my life And without thee No life in me.

- YAMA or general ethical principles to be followed in day to day life. NIYAM or selfrestraint which moulds our morality and behaviour ASANA or yogic poses, PRANAYAMS or breath control conducive to physical, physiological, psychological and mental health, PRATYAHAR or detachment, DHARNA or concentration, DHYAN or meditation, and SAMADHI or self-realisation.

"Why Yoga?" asked a portly 40 year old to me suffering from high B.P. and diabetes as well. "To remove your 'roga' (disease)", I replied, with a smile and twinkle in my eye. Try

yoga and if you do it sincerely and regularly, you will feel refreshed and recharged to carry on the day's task ahead.

Besides, it will illuminate your life and reflect on your wisage.

IT will help you to introspect at yourself, your goals, remove obstacles to sound health and stable emotions. You will, after years of practice achieve emancipation and self realisation which should be your ultimate goal. Yoga will slowly and surely transform you from 'the effort of becoming' to the 'discovery of being'. Before I end this article let me echo what yoga maestro and icon B.K.S. Iyengar said, "What I learned through yoga, I found out through yoga"! Viva Yoga!

LOVIN’ IT UP

www.afternoondc.in

MUMBAI | MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2014 Neha does not trust me but still loves me madly?

It is less important whether you can have your cake and eat it too. What is more important is how you will feel about yourself after that. You seem to come across as a person with a conscience in spite of your having given in to temptation. You have made errors, but then you are human. However, part of being human is also having been given the ability to choose wisely. Today you can make a better and wiser choice which will be in conjunction with your sensitive conscience. Think carefully and choose wisely. You will have to live with the choices you make today.

Think carefully, choose wisely

I have made my life very complicated and I don't know what to do about it now. I am a 19-year-old male. When I was in Class 10, I fell in love with Manisha. But now I know it was not love. It was just infatuation. In Class 11 she broke off our relationship as her family was against a love marriage. Lucky for me, I got away from it and I didn't have physical relations with her. But I was very hurt by the break up then, later in Class 12, I became a flirt. I had two affairs, with Vinita and Neeta. They were good friends who had feelings for me, so I thought it was a nice opportunity to have fun with both of them.

First I had physical relations with Vinita and then broke it off. Then I had full sex with Neeta and she wanted it too. There is one other girl, the love of my life. Her name is Neha. She loves me too. She knows about Manisha and Vinita, but she does not know of my relations with Neeta. I told her Neeta and I broke it off a month ago. I want to make Neha my life partner, but she says no for two reasons: her family and she doesn't trust me.

Her family has a good impression of me, but I've tried in vain to gain her trust. What

I am a 22-year-old unmarried man. My penis is curved towards the left. I read in a magazine that this is known as Peyronie disease. Will this curvature cause any problem during intercourse? Is there anyway to correct it? I am too concerned about this problem.

Penises come in different sizes and shapes.

If a penis has always been curved, it could be just a variation of normal. Men are often

sensitive about this subject, but I assure you, it is functionally nothing to worry about.

Women mostly care about affection, attentiveness, communication and a gentle foreplay. Therefore the size and shape are not decisive factors affecting sexual satisfaction for most of the women. If a penis is curving gradually as time progresses, it could be due to Peyronie’s Disease. Peyronie's Disease (also known as plastic induration of the penis or fibrous cavernositis) is characterised by the formation of a plaque or hardened scar tissue (fibrosis) beneath the skin of the penis that causes pain, curvature, and distortion, usually during erection. For patients with Peyronie’s disease treatment options are limited. The goal of treatment is to maintain sexual function and reduce pain. Surgery is the only effectual treatment, and because Peyronie’s disease may resolve on its own, sexologists often advise waiting for one or two years before selecting this option.

NOTES FROM NEW DELHI

www.afternoondc.in

MUMBAI | MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2014

By Chauthi Duniya Reporter

T

he way the Government has failed to dispense justice in the Meerut riots case is not only shameful, but also extremely painful for the affected families. The CID investigation, at the Government’s bidding, of the Hashimpura riots did not do its work in the right manner. The truth is that this is a blot on the name of the investigation itself. Who did this investigation, why could this investigation not be conducted in the right manner, what was the conclusion of this investigation and why were big offenders and criminals let off? Before delving into this, let’s find out what happened in Hashimpura on that ill-fated day of May 22, 1987.

Riots were taking place in Hashimpura.

There was a curfew. People remained inside their homes. At around 2 in the afternoon the Army and the PAC, on the pretext of conducting a search, entered the locality. The jawans of the PAC entered each and every house and asked all the male members to come out. After they had come out, the PAC brought all of them onto the road with their hands raised like criminals. It seemed as if the whole locality had been arrested. The PAC made the elderly and children sit separately and able-bodied men separately. After some time, the elderly and children were allowed to go. At around 88:30 at night, a PAC truck arrived. The door at the back of the truck was opened and people present on the road were herded into this truck like sheep and goats. PAC men stood behind the truck with their rifles and then they were made to sit inside the truck. After this the truck started moving. Anybody who wanted to turn and look behind to see where they were going was beaten with batons. The truck kept moving, kept moving for a very long time.

The truck stopped at Gang Nahar (Gang Canal) at Muradnagar. There was complete silence here. The PAC jawans got down. The lights of the truck were switched off and one by one people were asked to climb down from the truck. Whoever came down was shot by PAC jawans and the corpse flung in the canal. One after the other, everybody was being killed.

When the people sitting in the truck comprehended this and realised that everyone is going

to be killed in the same way, a stampede broke out inside the truck. Seeing this, PAC jawans started firing bullets inside the truck itself.

Some people jumped out and attempted to run away, but the PAC jawans shot them while they were trying to flee. The PAC intention was clear: not even a single person was to be left alive.

When the PAC thought everybody had been killed and their bodies thrown in the canal, they sat in the truck and left. What the PAC didn’t know was that during the stampede 3 persons had got away. It was those three persons, namely, Zulfiqar, Naeem and Baba who narrated the entire reality to the world.

In Meerut, a tense atmosphere is quite a common occurrence. At that time too because of some minor incidents, the atmosphere was tense. During this period, a couple of people were injured by a PAC vehicle. That became the ‘immediate reason’ for sparking off the Meerut riots. Within two days, violence erupted in different parts of Meerut. Because the matter started with a PAC vehicle, the PAC role in the Meerut riots became one of teaching a lesson to Muslims more than that of stopping the riots.

News also came that in Hashimpura, the nephew of some BJP leader had died. He was standing on his terrace and got hit by a bullet.

People’s belief was that the bullet was fired from the side of the other community. It was the next day that the PAC carried out the slaughter of Hashimpura men. Whether there was any relation between the death of the nephew of the BJP leader and the actions of the PAC is not included in the investigation report. During interrogation all these aspects were not probed.

In the investigation carried out at the Government’s behest, the names of only those people came out who had been in that PAC unit. Several of them have died. Most have retired. Court cases are continuing against them. The unfortunate thing is that from 1987 till today almost 26 years have passed, but the cases have not reached any logical conclusion. The people who were involved didn’t get punishment. They were certainly suspended for sometime, but were again reinstated.

Actually, the interrogation that the CID carried out is the worst example of investigation.

The investigation of the riots was conducted in a very inept manner. The Congress Government dealt with this matter in a very light manner. Till now nobody knows on whose orders and according to which plan this most heinous custodial killing in independent India was done.

Dangerous misuse of the social media

By Chauthi Duniya Reporter

I

don’t say that the Prime Minister will not have knowledge about what is happening in the country, but it is our duty to share with the Prime Minister the good or bad signs of what lies ahead. I also believe that what I am about to mention will not have the support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but amongst the supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi many such people will be there to whom it might seem that now they can do anything in this country. No one is there to demand an answer from them nor is there anyone to stop them.

A campaign is going on in the social media and on Facebook.

The campaign is that now that Pakistan is separate from India, why don’t the Muslims staying here go to Pakistan and why by staying here are they sharing our development. The second big part of this campaign is that at the time of Independence, this many Hindus were there, this many Muslims were there, and now this many Hindus are there, this many Muslims are there, and

some numbers are being spread, the accuracy or truth of which no one is contesting, but these numbers are spreading. The third biggest part of the individual campaign is that people while travelling stop anywhere; where

seen happening in a hidden way.

What we call social media, in which Facebook is included, has become a primary medium to spread such things. It seems as if a team of 2-3 people is busy only in spreading such kind of posts.

middle class and lower middle class people are present, they get down there only start talking: “Why are Muslims here now, what work of Muslims is there here”? It has been seen that generally most people on hearing such talk leave, but if even one person keeps sitting, then the person spreading the rumour or idea tries to make that one person understand. In most cities of North India suddenly such incidents are being

Then, after all, these teams of 2-2, 3-3 people are doing the work on whose orders? Why in this country, to destroy the tapestry of brotherhood, are they spreading news in the country in the form of petty rumours? There is one and only one centre of this and that centre is the Muslim society of the country.

Are these incidents only preparing the atmosphere for getting votes in the upcoming elec-

tions or is there some big conspiracy working behind them? A big conspiracy plan can only be one that in the country once again an attempt be made to repeat the biggest riots in history so that polarisation of votes can take place.

In a democracy votes are very important, but in a democracy life too is very important, in a democracy brotherhood too is very important and in a democracy development too is very important. These kinds of rumours which nowadays are floating on Facebook and on the other modern version of Facebook – Whatsapp, after all the conspiracy to spread them wants to say what?

We have a herd mentality, that is why a saying has been coined that a crow took away an ear. When one person shouts ‘see, the crow took away an ear’, then 10 people instead of looking at the ear to see even if it is there or not, start looking at the crow to see where did the crow go taking the ear and this psychology doesn’t let ‘facts’ of such kind get verified. By reading only one thing and trusting it implicitly in the end gives birth only to a doubt in our hearts.

DILLI KA BABU Unfriendly vibes

When Kerala Governor P. Sathasivam visited Delhi recently, he was surprised to learn that the state’s resident commissioner Gyanesh Kumar was not present at the airport to receive him, nor was his deputy Bishwanath Sinha, as per protocol.

Sources say that Sathasivam, who was visiting Delhi for the first time after being appointed Governor, was rather miffed at being received by a protocol officer and a liaison officer instead of the senior most babu representative of the state.

While it is not clear whether the babu had an explanation for his absence to soothe the ruffled gubernatorial feathers, observers recall another incident when the state’s Director General of Prosecution T. Asaf Ali was denied lunch at Kerala House because of an order from the resident commissioner stating that only house guests were entitled to be served meals in Kerala House. But after a few phone calls, it appears that the babu did finally manage to have his meal!

Advantage Rajasthan

During the Manmohan Singh era it was the famed Kerala Club, with top positions in the Prime Minister’s Office and top ministries headed by babus from the southern state. In Modi sarkar it is mainly officers from Gujarat manning the PMO, many of them who’ve worked with Prime Minister Modi when he was chief minister of the state. But it does appear that a “Rajasthan Club” is now in the making, with former chief secretary Rajiv Mehrishi taking charge as secretary of economic affairs at the Finance Ministry.

According to sources, nine IAS officers from Rajasthan cadre are holding secretary-level positions in Modi sarkar, with two of them, including Mehrishi in the Finance Ministry. Yet another babu is 1980-batch officer G.S. Sandhu, who is handling financial services in the ministry. Other senior babus from Rajasthan serving at the Centre are Arvind Mayaram who made way for Mehrishi and moved to the Tourism Department, Ashish Bahuguna, Agriculture secretary, Sangita Gairola in the Defence Ministry and Sudhir Bhargava and Lalit K. Panwar, in the Ministry of Social Justice and Ministry of Minority Affairs respectively. It does seem to be Advantage Rajasthan, for now.

Foreign bind

Senior bureaucrats who do long and extended stints in foreign postings will no longer be able to do so. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has instructed PMO to draft a new policy that will restrict babus beyond 55 years of age from foreign deputation postings. The age motif was earlier raised when among its first acts after coming to power, Modi sarkar announced a cut-off age for joining the Union Cabinet. The new policy, sources say, is the result of an application from a senior babu who has been posted abroad for over 10 years seeking an extension.

Apparently, one sore point with the government is that many babus do not return to India after their stint and settle in the country they have served. IAS officer Namita Datta never returned from her World Bank assignment in Washington nor did senior babus like Atul Bagai, Rahul Anand and L.V. Nilesh.

This new proposed policy, of the Modi sarkar hopes, will curb this trend.

says American small screen content is becoming huge with each passing day as it is able to draw in viewers from all over the world thanks to the superior writing, acting and plot.

The 36-year-old actress has starred in several films including a James Bond movie 'Quantum of Solace', besides TV shows and she says though she enjoys both media, she is excited about the new phase in American television. "They're very different experiences. Film is exciting because it has a clear beginning, middle and end, which demands an incredible amount of risk and faith in the story and in your fellow storytellers. I don't mind

SAINA, SRIKANTH CREATE HISTORY IN CHINA F 38

SPORTS

UZHOU (China): In a historic day for Indian badminton, top shuttlers Saina Nehwal and K Srikanth clinched the women’s and men’s singles title of the USD 700,000 China Open Super Series Premier respectively, here today.

While Olympic bronze-medallist Saina had to draw from her reservoir of experience to stave off the challenge of the Akane Yamaguchi of Japan, young Srikanth notched up a stunning straight-game victory over twotime Olympic champion Lin Dan of China to register his maiden Super Series title.

In her sixth appearance in the prestigious tournament, World No. 5 Indian prevailed over the 17-year-old Akane 21-12 22-20 in the women’s singles final that lasted 42 minutes at the Haixia Olympic Sport Center.

The 21-year-old Srikanth showed nerves of steel to produce a dominating performance which helped him see off five-time world champion Lin 21-19 21-17 in the men’s singles final which lasted 46 minutes here.

This is the first time any Indian male shuttler has won a Super Series Premier event ever since the Super Series and Premier tournaments were introduced.

In a battle of nerve, Srikanth led 11-7 initially but Lin came back to narrow it down to 11-10. The 31-year-old showed tremendous control in his strokes but the Indian used his sharp angled net dribbles and powerful smash to keep his nose ahead at 14-12.

Lin, however, soon started bothering the Indian with his delayed and precise strokes to turn the tables, reaching 19-17. Srikanth found his bearing in time and not only clawed his way back with a couple of points but also earned his game point after winning a referral.

The Indian then produced a body line smash to snatch the opening game from his fancied rival.

The second game started on a similar note as both the shuttlers put their best foot forward to move together till 8-8 before Lin entered the interval with a 11-9 lead.

Srikanth, however, soon drew parity at 1212 and then moved neck and neck till 15-15.

Srikanth then slowly eked out a lead and

soon gained a healthy four-match point lead.

Lin saved one but the Indian grabbed the next point to etch his name in the history books.

Srikanth, who won the Thailand Open Grand Prix Gold last year, had finished runners-up at the 2014 India Open Grand Prix Gold event in Lucknow and was a quarter-finalist in this year’s Malaysian Open.

The Andhra Pradesh lad was also a part of the Indian badminton contingent that reached the semifinals of the mixed team event at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

It was Saina who brought the first cheers into the Indian camp when she claimed her maiden China Open title in her sixth appearance.

Saina led 3-1 early on in the opening game and extended it to 8-4. She lost a few points

due to miscued strokes but the Indian managed to go into the interval with a four-point lead with the help of an angled stroke and a down-the-line smash.

Saina controlled the shuttle and the pace of the game and forced her young rival to commit errors, opening up a healthy 14-7 lead.

Akane showed sparks of brilliance but it was not enough to threaten Saina, who moved into game point with a delicate net shot and then a disguised return to earn the bragging rights.

Akane produced a better performance in the second game. The 17-year-old was quick on her legs and bothered Saina with her straight smashes to enter the break with a slender 11-9 lead.

Spain will go into a friendly with World Cup winners Germany fresh from a routine 3-0 victory against Belarus in Group C. San Marino, ranked 208th and joint-last in the world by FIFA alongside Bhutan, ended a run of 61 consecutive defeats by holding Estonia to a 0-0 draw at home in Group E.

Having done well for five games, Anand seemed to have missed the thread completely in the sixth game played on Saturday and is now staring at a deficit of one point at the halfway stage of the 12-game million Euros match. Carlsen was almost punishing Anand for his bad opening and was simply cruising when a rare double blunder happened on the fateful 26th move of the sixth game. This will go down in history as one of the worst double blunder as Anand failed to spot it too.

“When you don’t expect a gift, you don’t look for it,” was how Anand summed up his stance on not spotting the crucial blunder which might even have won him the game.

With Carlsen ahead 3.5-2.5 and six games to come, Anand will have to chalk out a plan to neutralise the Norwegian’s big advantage in very quick time. And that may not happen till the eighth game now as change in colours at halfway stage mean that Carlsen will again get white pieces in game seven to

third game. The situation is similar but the colour-change is not something that will help Anand. On the brighter side from the Indian’s perspective, Carlsen looks more ‘human’ than the last match. At Chennai a year ago, the Norwegian was simply the much stronger player and almost played like a machine to win the match handsomely.

This time, Carlsen has been vulnerable, has made a lot of mistakes and is ahead only because Anand has made more mistakes than him. Should the Indian curtail his own mistakes and come out with better opening choice, there is no reason why a comeback is not possible.

Recent history suggests that there might be further twists in the match. Anand had ended the last match at almost the lowest ebb, losing three and drawing seven games. He followed it up with an early exit in the London Classic and then finished second last at the Zurich Chess Challenge. What happened thereafter is nothing short of a spectacular turnaround.

Anand won the Candidates and then also the Bilbao Final Masters.

UZHOU: Olympic bronze-medallist Saina Nehwal today said the triumph at the China Open Super Series Premier was one of her “toughest” and it showed that the hard work was paying off.

World No. 5 Saina had to draw from her reservoir of experience to stave off the challenge of the Akane Yamaguchi of Japan 21-12 22-20 to clinch the women’s singles title of the USD 700,000 China Open.

“I m very happy to win this title, my third in the season. It is one of the toughest. I have been working really hard for the last few months and I am extremely happy that my efforts bore fruit,” Saina told PTI. “It has not been easy for me. Vimal sir (Kumar) helped me a lot and it is a huge victory and a great feeling to win the title in China,” she said.

Talking about her opponent Akane Yamaguchi of Japan, Saina said: “The Japanese girl is very good. She is young and she played very well. She did trouble me in the second game especially but I am happy I could prevail over her. She is extremely talented and will be a force to reckon in future.”

About her future tournaments, Saina said: “I am focused to do well in Hong Kong Open (Nov 18-23) next. I have won the tournament in 2010 and I am in good shape now. The confidence of this win will help me to do well.

“I am also looking forward to the BWF World Super Series Final in Dubai. That is my ultimate target now.”

It was a double bonanza for India as while Saina clinched her maiden China Open, K Srikanth made history winning his first Super Series Premier title after notching up a stunning straight-game victory over two-time Olympic champion Lin Dan of China at the Haixia Olympic Sport Center here.

Asked about Srikanth, Saina said: “I am extremely happy for Srikanth. His victory was amazing. It turned out to be a historic moment for Indian badminton.”

National coach Pullela Gopichand heaped praise on his two wards, describing it as a landmark day for Indian badminton.

“Winning the men’s and women’s singles game of China Open in China is amazing. It is a brilliant effort for any nation and as an Indian I think it is a very proud moment for all of us,” he said.

ANCHI: Skipper Virat Kohli led from the front with a gritty unbeaten century as a dominant India completed a resounding 5-0 whitewash over Sri Lanka by winning the fifth and final One-day International by three wickets here today.

Opting to bat, Sri Lanka rode on their skipper Angelo Mathews' unbeaten 116-ball 139 to put up a challenging 286 for eight at the JSCA International Stadium Complex, before Kohli (139) guided India home with eight balls to spare.

Kohli struck 12 fours and three sixes during his 126ball captain's knock as India boosted their confidence

ahead of the tough upcoming tour of Australia.

A screaming Kohli sealed the issue by hitting Mendis for a six over longon after completing his 21st century and the fourth this year.

Incidentally, Mathews too scored the same number of runs runs in setting up respectable score, but the day belonged to his Indian counterpart as India geared up to the Australia tour before the World Cup with a memorable series triumph.

Watched on by his GCA president Amit Shah, Axar Patel played a perfect cameo remaining unbeaten on 17 from 14 balls in an undefeated 57-run partnership

from 32 balls.

Chasing a fighting 287, India looked in firm control with Kohli and Rayudu (59 from 69 balls) putting on 136 runs for the third wicket, but the latter was unfortunately run out by the skipper triggering a mini collapse.

Lanka almost had the twist in the tale after Mendis (4/73) claimed the wickets of Stuart Binny and R Ashwin in successive deliveries as Kohli remained stranded at the other end.

The collapse that began with Rayudu's wicket meant India lost five wickets for 81 runs but Kohli held his nerves and took on Mendis, stepping out to hit a big six and a four to turn the match

the ball just went past Tadeja before she could react. However to Tadeja’s credit, she neither did panic or lose heart and fought all the way to take the set to tie-breaker. But it was Marina’s day as she was just unstoppable and went on to claim the tie-breaker 7-4.
