FIRE CAUSED BY SHORT CIRCUIT SPREADS TO TORPEDO SECTION, LEADING TO EXPLOSIONS ON BOARD SUBMARINE By Vishnudas Sheshrao
A
s many as 18 crew members, including three young officers and 15 sailors, who were trapped since Tuesday midnight inside the INS Sindhurakshak, a Russian made Kilo class submarine, are feared dead after the vessel suffered near simultaneous and major blasts, speculated to have been caused by a fire that went out of control. Around 11.55 pm of Tuesday night, a loud blast was heard in some parts of south Mum-
bai. This was followed after few minutes by three more blasts, and flames lit up the night sky across the harbour. The cause of fire is yet to be ascertained, but experts think that it could have been a small fire caused by a short circuit, and soon became a major one which reached to torpedoes kept in the front section, causing major blasts. Incidentally, the automatic and manual monitoring systems on board the submarine had grossly failed to detect the fire and extinguish it.
The Defence Ministry has appointed a Board of Inquiry (BoI) headed by Commodore (Submarine). A detailed report will be submitted in four weeks time. Defence Minister A.K. Antony, who left the ongoing parliament session in Delhi and come to visit the accident site at Western Naval Command (WNC), expressed grief and offered his condolences. For more than 20 hours till Wednesday evening, no communication could be established with the trapped crew members, despite several means of communication
installed on board the submarine. Naval officials said they were hoping for the best but were prepared for the worst. The ill fated vessel had a history of a fire accident earlier in 2010, when one sailor had died and two others were badly injured. Then Indian Navy sent the submarine to Russia for refurbishment and it was received back here only in August 2012. Admiral Devendra Kumar Joshi, who had Continued on pg 2 «

We seized 150-200 trucks loaded with sand and work is no more being carried out there now,” informed Chandak. The three truck drivers, Gajanand Namdev Mankari, Gajanand Pandari Godhghase and Santosh Shivaji Pawar, have been arrested by the NRI

Chandak added, “For any mining work to be carried out, one should possess legal documents and special permission should be taken from the Collector. Illegal mining should be stopped and strict action will be taken against the people behind this.” ADC had carried a story on August 7 regarding illegal sand mining in Navi Mumbai. The Coastal Police had seized suction machines and 35 boats from Kharghar and Ganeshpuri earlier in raids to check illegal sand dredging across the coastline and had made some arrests, but the sand stealing had continued to persist. Chandak had then said, “The investigation process would start within a few days.”

OPINIONS
Do you think India is free and independent as we celebrate the 67th I-Day? Ajay Valecha Photographer No, because the concepts of freedom, independence and patriotism have changed over the years. There is no denying that the joy in the air is because it’s a national holiday.
Sagar Aharwal Host at Red Chillies No, earlier we fought for freedom, now we are fighting for money, for better living. We all have become slaves to materialistic life and comforts. Mohit R. S. Jadhwani Anchor Yes, India is definitely free when it comes to the comparison made between a number of aspects today and 66 years ago. Tripti Sharma Homemaker Yes. The concept of Independence Day has changed amongst the youth. Today, they are free to do what they like and have forgotten the main purpose. Varsha Kandhari HR Manager No. When it comes to crime, the women in our country are vulnerable. They don’t have the much-needed support.

Admiral Joshi claimed that vessel Naval personnel discharged “One navy personnel was brought to the hospital at 1 a.m. on Wednesday. He had suffered blunt abdominal injures. We did all the necessary tests like X-rays and sonography. He soon became alright and was discharged at 1 p.m.,” said Dr. J.B Bhawani, the medical superintendent of state-run St. George Hospital at CST. Three more people who were near the explosion site are said to have suffered some minor injuries and were treated at the INHS Asvini Hospital in Colaba.

Today is Independence Day, our 66th. Father Joe Pereira of the Kripa Foundation talks to Carol Andrade about another kind of freedom, from the bonds of addiction, and traces the journey that India’s largest NGO has made since August 15, 1981
T
he Kripa newsletter for April to June 2013, (Volume XXI, No. 2) is most enlightening. Founder Father Joe inaugurates a centre in Jaipur, he conducts yoga in Germany, moves to Katowice in Poland for another of his Europe programmes, gives special teaching on Kripa foundation Iyengar Yoga to 100 practitioners in Zurich at St. Jacob’s Church, concludes retreat in Frieberg, Germany, signs an Employment Assistance Program (EAP) with Tata Power for counselling on addiction, conducts drug awareness programmes in Bandra, Bareilly, Baroda, Guwahati, Imphal, Kolkata, and our own Dharavi. One’s breath runs out long before the list does. Programmes in Ranchi, Vasai, Pune, Shillong, Kohima, Darjeeling, Pune, Guwahati, Varanasi, Dahanu, interventions, counselling, motivating, urging, talking and teaching. And it all began with three patients in residence, a priest, a doctor and a recovering alcoholic ‘as a role model for recovery and sobriety, in the compound of Mount Mary’s in Bandra, 32 years to the day today. The largest NGO in India affiliated to the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, the Kripa Foundation is synonymous both with its founder Fr Joe Pereira and with the eastern disciplines it uses to effect changes in various kinds of addictions. In particular, it is associated with Iyengar Yoga in which Fr Joe is an ardent practitioner and teacher, carrying his knowledge and experience to more than 120 countries, while he counts ten among them as partners in his collaborative venture – using eastern wisdom in a combination with Christian practice to help and heal. Last Tuesday, we met Fr Joe at Mount Mary’s Church high on the hill in the midst of reparations for the Bandra Feast. At 71, he looks 20 years younger, slim, calm, unflappable, his cell phone a constantly ring-
ing little animal always within reach. “I put it off only to rest, for 90 minutes of yoga at the time when everyone else is having lunch, and for hid meditation, morning and evening. For the last three decades, his weight has held steady at around 75 kg, he eats two small meals a day with a couple of munchies in between, and has the energy levels of a much younger man.
Addiction is spreading Wednesday evenings he teaches yoga on the first floor of the Church building in Bandra. Anyone can go. Every day is more or less filled with meetings up to 8.30 pm. That is when he is in town, of course. And every day he talks about addiction and the kind of havoc he has seen in a society devoted to materialism.
the mirage that our youngsters are falling prey to. They must realise that addiction is the hidden enemy of excellence, that institutions of excellence are being constantly threatened by this hidden enemy”. He prefers not to call Kripa a treatment centre. “I am a health freak”, he says, and I prefer to refer kripa (meaning ‘grace’) as a re-learning centre. What are they re-learning? How to live again? And for me, these people are my primary agents for transformation. They are my wounded healers, the only chaps who can tell the world how to get well. Medicine, prayers, even religion cannot do this, but they can. This is because they connect on the human plane, exposing their vulnerability. And when they connect with people who need healing from their addictions, the power of god shines through their weakness”.
Non-judgemental love
“You know, 45,000 people have passed through Kripa’s rehabilitation program in 18 states in the past three decades”, he mused. “And of them, only 400 are women. They just don’t come for treatment. But that is changing”. What is intensifying, however, is the spread of addiction in all its forms. Choosing his words very carefully, Father Joe says, “The developing world is afflicted by a value system of affluence where self-gratification and entertainment are linked all the time to mind-altering substances. This is
The calls are constant on his phone, everyone, it seems, wants a piece of him. The flip side is you realise how deep and widespread the curse of addiction is, whether it is to alcohol, or to drugs, to sex or money or power. “At first”, he says, “I used to get affected, especially if I was faced with constant self-denial in someone we were trying to help. Earlier, I could never accept that some people are born that way. Now I accept that there are some people who cannot be helped because they cannot let go of pride. God resists the proud and raises the lowly. And accepting that there are some for whom nothing can be done makes it easier to continue the work for those who can be helped”. What he does thank God for every day of his life is the gift of empathy, the ability to be completely non-judgmental while stretching out a hand. Why is the Kripa Foundation formula so helpful for people in the throes of addic-
tion? “Perhaps because it is a formula that understands that addicts are not bad, they are not to be condemned. It acknowledges that you are human and that we can love you back to life”, says this man who has taught yoga in a church in Zurich at a time when the jury still seemed out on whether the discipline is “unchristian”. But this teaching based on a “blend of Mother Teresa and Iyengar” has been embraced abroad with great enthusiasm and the Alcoholics Anonymous self-help programme has begun to add the “body element” in its 12-step program to its psycho-spiritual and psycho-social dimensions. This has been done through the use of meditation in the eleventh of its 12-step plan for recovery. Father Joe calls this “a beautiful door for us Indians to yogic spirituality”. Meanwhile, the work goes on. There is an 80-bedded hospital facility in Vasai for patients who now also include the AIDS afflicted. Father Joe wants to expand this into a convention and retreat centre. He declares that addiction afflicts the richest of the rich as well as the poorest of the poor, sometimes the former are actually the latter and they must be recognised as such. “What I am trying to do is making Jesus relevant for the worst among us”, he declares. With the world poised to become much worse before it gets better, isn’t the prognosis completely bleak? He doesn’t believe that. What is needed, he says, is to help society reverse its goals from wants to needs, to get people to believe that the best healing involves the shifting of energies from self-gratification to self-denial, if this culture of addiction is to be reversed. Because it can be! Meanwhile, he prepares his armies of “wounded healers” to go out and fight the good, fight locally, nationally and globally. Freedom from self is the greatest freedom of all.

BJP claims that dubious deals in district are fuelled by NRI black money
By Prashant Hamine
T
he black money stashed abroad by politicians and bureaucrats is being routed back to the country and is being used in dubious land deals in Mumbai, Raigad and Pune, alleged state BJP spokesperson Madhav Bhandari. Speaking to newspersons at Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh yesterday, he stated that land prices in Karjat, Panvel and Poladpur talukas of Raigad district have shot up alarmingly. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) took cog-
nizance of Navi Mumbai party functionary Santosh Pachlag’s complaint about money laundering and directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to probe it. The BJP spokesperson stated that the RBI has admitted to violation of Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). Bhandari further disclosed that all these land deals have been executed through Panoramic Group of Companies which in the past was linked to the infamous Pancard club deal. He added that most of the directors of this company
are Non Resident Indians (NRIs) who are not allowed to buy agricultural land. Bhandari further said that the land was purchased land using NRI money and the land revenue registrar had even gone ahead and regularized the entries and transferred the land title on the 7/12 land extracts in the names of these people. The BJP spokesperson opined that 200 acres of land worth Rs 500 crore have been purchased in this way. Bhandari demanded that the state government initiate a probe in the matter.
Kids show the way locality with posters and slogans to spread the message about the cause. Around 140 saplings were also planted in the school and nearby areas.

1. The Company has not ascertained the Fair Value of the Options granted to its employees under the Company's Stock Option Schemes. Consequently, impact of the same on the Proforma Loss, Proforma Basic Earnings per share and Proforma Diluted Earnings per share is not ascertainable. Also the Company has not complied with the Securities and Exchange Board Of India (Employee Stock Option Scheme And Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) . Guidelines, 1999. 2. As per approval of the shareholders of the Company under Section 293 (1) (a) of the Companies Act, 1956, obtained through postal ballot on 22nd May, 2010, the Company st has effective from 1 October, 2009, transferred the businesses of two divisions to two 100% subsidiaries, subject to requisite approvals being obtained from the concerned Statutory Authorities and the Company's lenders and creditors. The Company had applied for approvals of Secured / Unsecured Lenders. However one of the lenders has informed the Company that they are not agreeable to the transfer of the businesses of the two divisions to the two 100% subsidiaries and has declined to give its approval. Besides, the Lead bank of the Consortium for Working Capital has informed the Company not to proceed with hiving-off of assets without the written consent of the Consortium Banks. Consequently, the Company continues to be liable to the lenders for the Term Loans and Unsecured Redeemable Non-Convertible Debentures aggregating to Rs. 14,279.61 Lacs transferred to the subsidiary companies. The Company has not provided interest on the above for the period under review. Therefore, the company will continue to be liable to the lenders for the Loans/Unsecured Debentures transferred to the two 100% subsidiaries together with interest thereon, in terms of the above shareholders resolution. . 3. In view of the temporary strain on financial resources which has inter alia resulted in delay in repayment of dues, and also with an objective to bring normalcy to the Company's operations, the Company has approached the Banks for One Time Settlement (OTS) of the dues. Pending consideration of such requests, the Company has not yet taken any steps with regard to the non-approval as explained in Note No. 2 above. . 4. Due to current mismatch of inflows and outflows, compounded by delayed recoveries of certain stressed assets, as enumerated in Note No. 5 below, the debt servicing by the Company has been adversely affected. As a result, action has been initiated by some of the lenders of the Company. LIC Nomura Mutual Fund and SBI Factors Limited had filed petitions in the Bombay High Court for winding up of the Company for non-payment of their dues. In case of the dues to SBI Factors Limited, the dues were supposed to be paid in the financial year 2012-13, where there is a delay and the company is likely to pay in the coming months. The other lenders are being addressed under One Time Settlement. Upon settlement of the matters amicably with the lenders including LIC Nomura Mutual Fund, the consent terms will be filed. Bank of India has served upon the Company a Notice under Section 13(2) of The Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Act, 2002 for repayment of their dues. The notice has been set aside by DRT and is now being challenged in appeal by the bank. Other Banks have also asked the Company for repayment of their dues and also issued SARFAESI notices. . 5(i)Consequent to a review made by the Management of the various Assets of the Company, the Management is of the opinion that special efforts over a period of time would be needed for recovery of the following stressed assets which would have an impact on theresults of the . Company for the period under review:a.Diminution in the value of Investments in Foreign Companies Rs. 7.77 Lacs, where the local Managements have deserted the Companies and the businesses have been closed down.

(ii) Interest amounting to Rs. 15.19 Lacs approximately has not been provided on Public Deposits for the quarter including on deposits which have matured and are claimed but not paid as on 30th June 2013 amounting to Rs. 261.94 Lacs. The Company has made an application to Central Government under the relevant provisions of the Act for the deferment of the repayment of the overdue Fixed Deposits which is pending for approval. b.Loans aggregating to Rs 22,399.68 Lacs have been re-called by the banks, due to default in repayment of the principal and interest amounts. Interest amounting to Rs. 770.33 Lacs approximately has not been provided for the quarter on these loans. Also no interest has been provided on account of delays in payment of various statutory dues like Tax Deducted at Source, Sales Tax, Service Tax, ESIC, Custom Duty, Provident Fund etc, amount whereof is . not ascertainable. Non or delayed recoverability of the above Stressed Assets and inadequacy of accruals have adversely affected the debt servicing by the Company and also led to operating losses and erosion of liquidity. The management is of the view that the above stressed assets of various classes may need provision in due course the extent of which cannot be determined at present. Consequently they have been shown as considered good and no provision has been . made for the same. The management is of the view that the future viability of the company and its 'going concern' assumption would depend on the timely approval of the Company's OTS proposal. Regarding impairment the Management is of the opinion that impairment arising out of changes in business model, discontinuation of some products and services and similar reasons should be recognized and are proposed to be transferred to the respective divisions for recovery and an estimate should be made as a block of assets comprising of Fixed Assets, Current Assets and Investments. In the absence of full implementation of the plan, the impairment has not been ascertained and debited to Statement of Profit and Loss. Old Balances of Trade Receivables / Trade Payables of Foreign parties have not been revalued at the rates prevailing on 30th June 2013 in the books of account of the Company as in the opinion of the Management, these amounts may not be realisable / payable Segment reporting as required under AS 17 is not applicable for the period under review, as more than 90% of the revenue comes from a single business segment of Lighting Products / .

Ponder awhile… “An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.” — Mahatma Gandhi
Talks between Pak and India only way out W
HY did Pakistan pass an antiIndia resolution in Parliament? There is little doubt that the decision to pass the resolution had the support of both the top civilian establishment and the army. Were they jointly sending a message to India on the eve of Independence Day in their country? Or was it a cool threat? There is little doubt that Pakistan Prime Minister Nawab Sharif who repeatedly claims he is a friend or India and that he wants to establish peace and close tries with it, seems to have changed his mind. After taking several provocative measures against India, Pakistan has asked the latter not to violate the ceasefire agreement. Pakistan perhaps thinks India has to take lying down aggression and inhuman action by its soldiers on the Line of Control (LoC). It also brings in the Kashmir issue in the resolution. The pertinent question is how India should react. Would a tit for tat exercise called for? Must our Parliament also pass a resolution against Pakistan? What purpose would that be served. Ultimately India and Pakistan must find a peaceful solution to the disputes between them. There is no other way. Armed confrontation may only lead to some murders of soldiers and people of both countries. And whatever we have achieved by way of exchanges in trade and also on other fields, will disappear if we decide to go on a warpath. The talks on the secretary level is said to be off. There is a big chance for talks between Nawaz Sharif and our PM Manmohan Singh when they meet in New York next month.

I
NDEPENDENCE DAY in Mumbai always makes me sad rather than happy. No uplifting images from the freedom movement fill my head, they are blotted out by the sight of malnourished, barefoot street children selling flags and tri-colour brooches at traffic lights. Some of these children I know well because I feed them breakfast every day through a small programme I started long ago called ‘Nashta’. When I see them on the eve of Independence Day standing in rain wet streets, trying late into the night, to sell those drooping flags and metal brooches, I am reminded of what I believe to be independent India’s greatest betrayal: the criminal neglect of her children.
Wrong policies Surely in 66 years of freedom we should have succeeded at the very least in giving every Indian child half a chance at leading a relatively healthy life. It would not have been too much to ask if we had not always followed the wrong policies. We have come up with such schemes as the ‘world’s largest children’s welfare programme’, the ICDS (Integrated Child Development Scheme) that has been mostly useless, but instead of coming up with new ways of dealing with the problem political leaders in Delhi have simply gone on to give us more of the same. This year, I found the sight of these children particularly poignant because unbeknownst to them their leaders are planning to spend hundreds of thousands of crore rupees in their name on a Food Security Bill that will make no difference to their lives. Even if their homeless, and wretchedly poor families manage to find a way of getting the grain, they are entitled to, they will continue to be malnourished because the problem is more complicated than our policy makers appear to realize. How do I know this? Because of ‘Nashta’ and because some of the children I fed ten years ago, when the programme began, now have children of their own and their problems are to do with not getting the right kind food rather than not getting enough food. Some months ago Surekha, whom I have known since she was ten, rang me in a panic to tell me that her 2-year-old son needed hospitalization because of what appeared to be an attack of whooping cough. When I spoke to the doctors who were treating him they said that the reason why he had the persistent cough was because he was severely mal-

nourished. “All he gets to eat in the day is pao (bread) and tea and what he needs is upma, vegetables and milk.” It made me restart ‘Nashta’ which had lapsed temporarily in between. So Surekha’s son now gets one meal of upma, vegetables and milk every morning as do a group of about 20 children who live with him on a pavement off Mumbai’s glittering Marine Drive. If Congress Party president Sonia Gandhi was really interested in the health of Indian children, half of whom are officially malnourished, what she would be spending money on would be the sort of soup kitchens that churches run in European and American cities. But, she wants a big, dramatic gesture that she hopes will help her son become
ON THE SPOT Tavleen Singh prime minister after the 2014 general election, so we are landed with an expensive Food Security Bill that is almost certainly going to be as much of a dud as the anti-poverty programmes successive Congress prime ministers have invested in since 1947. It is India’s bad luck that no state governments or Opposition leaders have challenged the new Food Security Bill on grounds of efficacy until last week when Gujarat CM Narendra Modi took up the cause. From excerpts of a letter he has written to the prime minister that the ‘Indian Express’ carried on the eve of Independence Day, I learned that he has warned the prime minister that the new law will not be able to provide food security to the poor. Modi said, “A meeting of the chief ministers of states needs to be called before the matter is finalized by Parliament, a step which should have been taken on such an important Centre-state issue, and which has not been taken so far.”
Gandhi’s role in freedom struggle O
NE of the greatest men in the history of India is unarguably Mahatma Gandhi. The way he gave shape and character to India's freedom struggle is worthy of a standing ovation. He sacrificed his own life for the sake of his country. The respect that he earned for himself despite leading a simple lifestyle is much appreciable. Mahatma Gandhi played a pivotal role in the freedom struggle of India. His non violent ways and peaceful methods were the foundation for gaining Independence from the British. Born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi at Porbandar in Gujarat, Gandhi took his time to grow and develop his techniques to ensure that his actions made an impact in the freedom struggle. His faith in different religions was commendable. He was brutally honest and truthful and this helped him throughout his life. A few movements led by him are... Non Co-operation Movement One of the first series of non violent protests nationwide was the non cooperation movement started by Mahatma Gandhi. This move-
ment officially started the Gandhian era in India. In this freedom struggle, the non cooperation movement was basically aimed at making the Indians aware of the fact that the British govt can be opposed and if done actively, it will keep a check on them. Thus, educational institutions were boycotted, foreign goods were boycotted. Indians awakened to the concept of going against the British. Civil Disobedience Movement Gandhi again took off with another non violent movement known as the civil disobedi-
MATTER & SPIRIT ence movement. This movement was more active than the non cooperation movement and brought about a revolution of sorts. This movement aimed at bringing the British administration to a stop by withdrawing support from everything. There was agitation against land revenue, abolition of salt tax, cutting down military expenditure, levying duty on foreign cloth, etc. A very important movement
Hopefully if this meeting does happen, chief ministers will point out that instead of vast, centralized, unwieldy schemes what India’s hungry children need are smaller programmes run by NGOs like ‘Akshaypatra’, which has shown in Karnataka how much difference one square meal can make in a child’s life. After ‘Akshaypatra’ started their programme of supplying mid-day meals in Bangalore’s schools, statistics showed a dramatic improvement in school attendance and a simultaneous improvements in results. All that ‘Akshaypatra’ does is provide one nutritious meal a day in which children can eat as much as they want. Often these are children whose parents can afford to give them no more than a cup of tea in the morning before they come to school. There are other NGOs who run similar programmes that are funded by big private corporations, religious trusts and charitable organizations. It is something that every Indian who has enough to eat could do in a small way in their own neighbourhood and if they do not, it is mostly because the leitmotif of the kind of India we have built since 1947 is that of a paternalistic, omnipotent, all-embracing state.
Taxpayers’ money The dynasty that has ruled India for nearly all of the past 66 years has taken full advantage of this and taxpayers’ money has been used for welfare programmes that bear the names of one or other member of this dynasty. Sonia Gandhi now hopes that the Food Security Bill, when passed, will make voters believe that it is her generosity and her personal intervention that has gone towards providing cheap food grain to 70 per cent of the population of India. It is our misfortune that she has been backed publicly by an eminent economist like Amartya Sen who seems unable to see that the new law cannot work. So we are likely to see many more Independence Days when in the mean streets of our cities small children will stand around selling cheap versions of the National Flag and cheap tri-colour brooches in the hope that they will make enough to buy some food that day. Forgive me for not having thoughts of honour, glory and national pride on this August 15, but I can think of almost nothing to celebrate. was that of Salt Satyagraha where Gandhi undertook the Dandi march as a protest against the Salt tax.
Quit India Movement The Quit India Movement was launched under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi in August 1942. The main aim for launching this movement was to bring the British to negotiate with the Indian leaders. It was a call for immediate independence of India and the slogan of "Do or Die" was adopted for the same. However the leaders were arrested soon after Gandhi's speech and were put in jail by British officials. Gandhi went on a fast for 21 days demanding the release of the leaders despite his failing health. The British had to secure the release of the leaders. India’s Independence After the Quit India Movement the freedom struggle got even more intense and passionate. Entire India was united together in the movement for freedom. Everyone contributed what they could in the freedom struggle. The cry of Purna Swaraj or complete independence was raised. After much sacrifices and efforts, India gained its independence on the August 15, 1947.

Places every woman should visiT Sumitra Senapaty is the founder of WOW Club, a travel company that helps tailor packages for women to see and experience the world along with other women. We asked her to tell us which places were absolutely essential for women to head to for an experience of a lifetime: 1. iceland: The water in The Blue Lagoon, the geothermal pool, maintains a 40° average and is rich in minerals. The skies in Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) dance in a myriad of colours. It’s a sight like no other and a place you have to experience to truly understand. 2. leh, ladakh: For its silent valleys to help you get a little peace, huge open spaces, altars, chapels, mountains and hilltops. 3. greece — The aegean islands: From the sandy beaches of Mykonos to Hyda, a picturesque island resembling a painting — Greece is a great destination. You can relax; soak up the culture, sights, sounds (visit
Cyclades to see the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis) and then head to the spectacular Santorini island to see a sea-flooded caldera created 4,000 years ago. 4. Japan: Japan is like no other country on earth! From speeding through the countryside on a bullet train and sampling Japanese cuisine, to meeting friendly locals with a genuine interest in your visit, you’ll have a great experience here. 5. Tanzania: Tanzania offers breathtaking landscapes, which make for exceptional photography opportunities. It is the home of the awe-inspiring Mount Kilimanjaro and the Ngorongoro Crater — the world’s largest intact caldera. Wildlife enthusiasts will delight in the annual Great Migration, which crosses the Serengeti in search of greener pastures. A visit to Tanzania’s historic Zanzibar is also a must. Golden beaches blend into bustling cities, adorned with beautiful Arabic architecture.
dishes every woman musT know how To make Pico’s head chef Nicole Gonsalves Pereira has been in the culinary industry for 16 years. She has had the privilege of working as a senior sous chef with Rules, London’s oldest restaurant and with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay at the Savoy Grill. According to her, a woman must know how to whip up the following basic dishes: 1. soup: A simple chicken or minestrone soup is a must-learn for every woman as soup is a comforting and filling dish. Paired with some bread sticks or dinner rolls, it makes for a great impromptu meal and can also be effortlessly made in large quantities. 2. daal: It’s an indispensable dish of our staple diet and hence, an important recipe to have in every woman’s repertoire. 3. cake: Making desserts isn’t always a piece of cake, but knowing how to bake a basic chocolate cake is a wonderful asset for every woman. Once you have perfected the essential base recipe, you can experiment
and showcase your creative side with frosting, decoration and different flavours. 4. Pasta sauce: A pasta dish is a great way to change things up in the kitchen and try something new. Knowing a pasta sauce recipe will help any woman whip up a restaurant style dish at home. A good pasta sauce relies on fresh ingredients as opposed to a complicated recipe. Good quality cheese, olive oil, fresh herbs and vegetables are all you need to make a delectable pasta sauce that is the star of the dish. 5. Party appetiser: A handy recipe to have for every woman is a delicious appetiser while playing the perfect hostess or attending to unexpected guests. One such go-to dish can be meatballs. You can use any meat (chicken, mutton, pork, lamb or beef) and depending on the theme, you can create dishes such as Asian-style meatballs with ginger, garlic and soy/oyster sauce.
geT your order heard How many times have you had to fight your way to the bar and then scream your guts out, so that the bartender can hear your order? With the way pubs and bars are packed in Mumbai, we’re sure that must have been a number of times. So, we asked Ishita Mankek, a freelance bartender, to give us her top five tips that will help you get your order heard: 1. wait and don’t scream All bartenders keep a tab of people arriving at the bar and they will come around to ask for your order sooner or later. So, don’t scream, as it’s not going to get you anywhere. Just raise your hands once or twice and make sure that the bartender knows you are there and want to be served. 2. be sure of what you want Remember all the ‘umm’s and ‘ohh’s that you usually have while placing an order. Amidst all the loud talking and music, it is just going to confuse the bartender. So, before you place your order, make sure of what you want and the quantity. 3. eye-contact Making and holding eye-contact with the bartender is important. Couple this up with hand gestures and getting your order across to him will be much easier and simpler. 4. don’t sneak in from the side Never sneak up from the side of the bar. Ishita tells us that bartenders hate that and if you do it, you can take it for granted that your order will be taken and served last. 5. work your charm When the going gets really tough, use your lady charm. Make a puppy face and dish out sentences such as ‘Please, I’ve been waiting for a long time’ or ‘I’ve had to fight through the crowd, could you please take my order?’
books every woman should read Amrita Chowdhury is the country head and publishing director of Harlequin India and is also the author Faking It (Hachette 2009), a contemporary fiction novel about art forgery. Take a look at her top five before heading to a bookstore: 1.Pride & Prejudice by Jane austen: It doesn’t get more classic than this. Austen’s characters have inspired many other story plots and television and film adaptations. 2.Gift from the Sea by anne morrow lindbergh: This is a series of essays examining the multiple roles of women as daughter, wife and mother and how women define themselves through ages. 3.The Palace of Illusions by chitra banrejee divakaruni: This book explores the story of Mahabharata from the perspective of Draupadi. 4.Sonnets from the Portuguese by elizabeth barrett browning: ‘How do I love thee, let me count the ways,’ wrote poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning in a series of 44 sonnets penned for her husband, the poet Robert Browning. This is the most famous set of love poetry of all times. 5.Nice Girls Don’t Get The Corner Office by lois P. Frankel: This book is around what young women do at work that sabotages their career. A must-read if you’re an ambitious woman.
Films every woman should waTch
Things To bear in mind when newlywed Dr. Madhuri Singh is a consulting psychiatrist and marriage counsellor, with a clinic at Four Bungalows in Andheri. We asked her to scour through her vast repertoire of experiences and tell us the top five things that a newlywed woman needs to bear in mind: 1.don’t compare: Don’t expect your married life to be identical to your old, single life as that will never make you feel satisfied and happy with your current life. 2.shedding a little of your independence: Just like a man surrenders a little bit of his independence when he gets married
to you, you will also have to do the same in order to keep things smooth in your married life. 3.expect a change: If you do plan to have a baby, always bear in mind that there will be some inevitable changes in your career. Only go ahead with a baby once you have made a mental preparation to accept and make peace with those changes. 4.Family matters: You love your family despite its negative points. Try to do the same with your husband’s family. 5.most importantly: Stick to being honest about the past, loyal to the present and committed to the future.
Indie filmmaker and recipient of many awards for her indie movie, For Real, Sona Jain gives us her picks: 1.Gandhi: Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi is iconic, timeless and a must see for everyone, especially young women. 2.Talk To Her: With its strong female characters, their unique quirks, the humour and humanity, you never want this Pedro Almodovar film to end. 3.Bridget Jones’s Diary: Story of a 30-something English woman who is constantly trying to self-improve and find true love, watch this film whenever you want to laugh at yourself. 4.Bridesmaids: A laugh-out-loud comedy, this film is about female friendships and how hard women are on themselves. 5.Caramel: Watch it for the various hues of feminine crises — to be heart-broken from an affair with a married man to ignoring men who are good for you — the movie has all that and more.

>> Tanishaa wil next be seen acting in the play The Verdict
OUT WITH THE DRAMA! From the weepy damsel-in-distress to the sultry beauty trying to seduce her seniors, Lady, You’re Not A Man analyses the varied species of women you might encounter at work and helps you in dealing with them, says Claudelle Monis
Facing her fears Actress Tanishaa Mukerji, who is best remembered for her roles in films such as Neal N Nikki, Sarkar and Sarkar Raj, is all set to act in a play called The Verdict. She is also acting in a Marathi film tentatively titled Adhantari. Rohit Pramar caught up with her to talk about fame, acting and much more
What made you agree to do this play? I always believe in facing my fears head on. I have had a fear of performing in front of a live audience and so, this is something I wanted to overcome. I don’t like feeling that I cannot do something. In the play, my character has shades of grey and she is a type of woman who will do anything for love.
role happen for you? How are you preparing for it? Marathi is my mother tongue and I’ve spoken it all my life. I am comfortable with the language and just had to hang out with my Marathi crew a lot to get my diction right. My accent had to be that of an English girl, so I didn’t need the typical Maharashtrian accent.
You’re also acting in a Marathi film. Tell us about the film and your character? The character I play is a very real one. She’s like any intelligent Indian girl today; she’s influenced by the west but has strong Indian values. Bharti Achrekar plays my mother in the film and it’s so much fun working with Bharti aunty because she has such a great relationship with my mom. My character is of a Marathi girl who has grown up in London. To get the accent right, I also took diction lessons.
Which directors you would like to work with and why? I would love to work with Balki and Farhan Akhtar as they are very sensitive towards their female characters who are always strong women.
Are you fluent in Marathi? How did the
Your dream role would be… My dream role would be to play Diana in the autobiography of Princess Diana. Films run in your family. Which are the films that you like to watch with your family again and again? I love to watch Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
You know how self-help books are generally so boring with pages of uninteresting jibberjabber about emotions and behaviour that seem to make no sense? Well, Apurva Purohit in her book Lady, You’re Not A Man ensures you experience no boredom whatsoever in your quest to understand yourself better. Lady, You’re Not A Man is a refreshing take on a self-help book for women. Unlike regular books that use big shots in huge companies as examples, Purohit chooses to make the average working woman her subject — a choice that makes her writing exceptionally engaging and her examples easily understandable. The book is aptly titled, since Purohit spends a large part trying to get us to understand that we don’t need to be men to succeed in the corporate world. Being a woman, and a good one, is what will take us far and make us stand out. The book begins with a typical morning of a working mother and proceeds to highlight common problems a woman might face in her bid to balance her home and work. These include a husband who acts as per his whims, a son who loses things more often than he finds them, and an office which just won’t let her rest. Purohit then proceeds to divide the book into three categories: Acceptance of our emotions, skills and shortcomings as women as well as the faults of men; adapting to the corporate world and the people around you and society and its attitude towards women; and achievement through self-realisation, consideration and confidence. While the content seems overwhelming, Purohit’s style and language makes it an easy read and coupled with hilarious yet eye-opening anecdotes from work and home, this book is the perfect travel-bed-lazy day companion for a woman. The helpful ‘Corporate Mantra of the Day’ and ‘Psst’ sections at the end of every chapter ensure that you take away an important lesson even while enjoying the book. Besides the obvious content and audience strategy that Purohit seems to have got bang-on, in Lady You’re Not A Man, she also seems to have something up her sleeve for the less trusting ones. We’re all told to never judge a book by its cover, but if you do this time, I wouldn’t blame you. Black vector signs of women with objects ranging from a microphone to a pram and even a guitar are interspersed with the title in catchy read block letters and the author’s name in blue. If that doesn’t catch your eye and make you at least want to pick it up, I don’t know what else will. I’d recommend this book to every woman I know, right from the girl in college to the woman at the top of her profession. There are some things we need to be told bluntly, and in my opinion, if we have someone telling us what we need to hear, we should really listen.

have The image of being ShorTTemPered? We Tell you WhaT you can do I am in my early thirties and I hold a senior position in my firm, with about 10-11 people reporting to me. I am a perfectionist when it comes to work and because of that, I don’t have much patience with people who are sloppy. Lately, I have earned a bad name at work because of the frequency at which I get “angry over small things.” I am short tempered but not so much that my sub-ordinates and co-workers need to fear me. How do I change my image and get people to like me? — aarti Pandey, goregaon dear aarti, Temper tantrums can get you into a lot of trouble at work if you do not learn how to control them. Losing your patience with people is a common occurrence at a senior level position but make sure you try to gulp down the anger. If you feel that you are constantly getting angry at people and you are not able to control yourself, you should enroll yourself for anger management therapy as I’m sure even you don’t like being angry all the time. You should also consider apologising to people who you might have lost your temper at and only a change in your behaviour can change your image at work. Also, try de-stressing yourself by doing some yoga or listening to music or whatever that helps you calm down.

MUMBAI | THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 2013
The niTPicker This one will be a micro-manager who will sometimes forget the big picture and get too caught up in the intricacies of minor (and a lot of times negligible) errors. You might have spent hours on an elaborate presentation; but that doesn’t stop the nitpicker boss from pointing out that there is a punctuation error on the 12th slide. Nothing is good enough for her and you’ll have to be on your toes all the time.
The SofTy She believes in second chances (which often turn into multiple chances) that in the long run often turn her employees into slackers. She will bring aloo parathas for all and will act motherly most of the times. This attitude also makes her bear the brunt repeatedly and her subordinates end up taking advantage of her. However, for most softy bosses, it takes excruciatingly long to drive them up the wall, but once you’ve accomplished that, you’ll be fired. There is no middle ground after that.
The monSTer She will yell, throw coffee mugs around, and in her passive aggressive days, just ignore you. From screaming at you in front of your subordinates and colleagues to blatantly telling you that you should miss your lunch because she wants something at the earliest — this one you would never like to come across. Whatever you do, you’ll never get a compliment from her. All we can say is, if you can, quit and run as far as you can as this will never get any better.

Scott Eyewear has come out with a new collection of sunglasses. This includes a mix of designs; from wayfarers to aviators — you’ll find a number of sunglasses that’ll suit your face shape. They also have butterfly-inspired lenses as well as frames in chic silhouettes that have metallic links. Most of the new designs include two-tone lenses and we particularly love the violet-pink aviator that has a golden frame. Another frame that caught our attention was a dark-pink one that has a black rim and animal prints on the inside of the frame. Where Leading optical stores and outlets Price `1,790 onwards
the scum of the earth — all of this while a fake smile is plastered on her face. She will usually seem easygoing which might make you feel that she can be your boss as well as your friend, but one goof-up from your side and you’re gone. Excuses don’t work with her either. She will not yell or throw things, but her passive aggressive remarks and taunts will make you feel worthless. However, there will also be days when she will be in a good mood and will make you feel like you’re the elixir of her professional life. But those days are rare. Extremely rare.
The Workaholic
They can be as mean as Miranda Priestly of The Devil Wears Prada or as sly and conniving as Jessica Pearson of Suits. Priyanka Singh tells you about the several types of women bosses dotting the corporate world
I
t can be a blessing and a curse to have a woman boss. There will be times when you won’t have to explain to her that you need a day off because it is the first day of your period. She will get it. But then, there will also be times when Zara will be on sale and she won’t grant you the second half off because she knows about the ‘important personal’ work you have. Women bosses come in various sizes and varieties. We tell you about the most commonly found types of women bosses that you’ll come across out there.
The biTch This category mostly includes power hungry women who will make you feel like you are
While a workaholic boss can benefit you for some span of time, if you are not a workaholic yourself, you might just burn out and reach your saturation level soon. It will benefit you in the short run because you will learn and excel a lot in this brief period, but there’s only so much that you can invest if you like to make a clear demarcation between your personal and professional life. Her job is her life and so, it takes over every aspect of her existence. She will send you a mail on Diwali morning and make you feel guilty if you don’t reply the same day. After spending certain amount of time under her, you might start having self-doubts or then transform into her completely because only that would make her feel that you are at par with her standards.
The underachiever The underachiever boss has kangaroohopped the ladder to make her way up to the top of the corporate pyramid through various means, which include everything except her talent. One look at her and your faith in all clichéd lines about hard work reaping benefits will start to dwindle. Try to show her that you are smarter than her and you’ll be seeing the door, as you’ll come across as a threat to her. Do your job well and steer clear from an argument with her. This will ensure that you last there till you find another one with, hopefully, a better boss.

If there’s one thing that links all the citizens of Mumbai, it’s living in houses that are small and almost never big enough for the family staying in it. While there’s not much you can do about the actual physical space, Dev Goswami gets you a few tips that will make your house appear bigger
MUMBAI | THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 2013
>> Not placing your couch against the wall and having a large window lets in ample natural light — these are the best ways to make your house seem bigger
Space cadet L iving in a bigger house is a dream that most Mumbaikars share. With property rates hitting the roof, living that dream isn’t easy. However, that’s not the end of it. The way you design and place your home décor, can actually go a long way in making your house seem bigger. Shama Shah, interior designer and space designer and visualiser, gives us simple tips that will give an illusion of a bigger space.
Clutter free Getting rid of clutter is the first tip that Shama gives us. From a messy stack of books to a needless number of curios, all of these things can make your house look congested and thus, smaller. So, evaluate what you actually need to keep out in the open and pack up or give away all the unnecessary stuff.
Multi-purpose furniture
not against the Wall
From a table which functions as a study desk as well as a dining table to wardrobes and bookshelves that are built in the wall, your furniture choices can have a big impact on how big your house seems. Shama gives the example of tables that have collapsible sleeves — a table for two that can transform into a table for six, when needed. See the column below for more details.
We have a tendency to place all furniture against walls. However, Shama tells us that this is something you should avoid. Instead, she recommends using one main piece (example: a couch for the living room) and placing assorted smaller furniture all over the room. Keep in mind that the main piece should have space all around itself and should not be against a wall. This will give your furniture breathing space and make your living room appear bigger.
Using light shades and monochromatic colours for your walls can make small spaces look bigger. Also, in case your house doesn’t get enough natural lighting, you can use cooler hues (light shades of blue and green) for the ceiling to make it seem larger.
don’t divide & rule
an aCtual illusion
If you have a big enough room that you want to divide into two, don’t create an opaque, permanent and floor-to-ceiling wall, all it will do is kill all the open spaces and make your room seem small. Instead, use a couch
For actual illusions of a larger space, use wall length mirrors to virtually double up your space. A good idea would be to place a mirror opposite a window and let it reflect all the natural light into the room.
WindoWs & doors If you can, make your windows larger to let in more light and greenery — natural lighting is one of the easiest ways to create an illusion of a bigger area. And when it comes to doors, remove them where they aren’t necessary; you can also use sliding doors as, visually, they take up less space.
(as we said in the previous point) to divide the space. Or if you just must, divide the space using a four feet high wall that can also function as a table or shelf.
Colour it right

sMall steps
If you have a staircase in your home, use the steps as storage spaces. And if you don’t, create bunk beds or a bed and desk combination with stairs in the steps, to double up as cabinet space.
use it tWiCe
>> Carving out walls to create storage space is a great way to add uniqueness as well as practically to your home
Need a coffee table for your living room but don’t know where to put the extra settee or store the magazines? A great way to roll all three into one is to buy a settee ottoman with storage space. Make sure it’s slightly lower than your sofa and it can double up as a coffee table as well.
a Cut about the rest
If you don’t have a low ceiling, you can use it to your advantage to create more space for yourself. Build another level, either as a personal space or even as storage space and you’ll be surprised at how much more space you’ll have.
little seCrets
Another way to raise a level without letting anyone see what you’ve done is to have floor storage. If you’ve got minimal furniture and don’t want any clutter, but still need to store things such as valuables, papers and diaries, simply
create a level on your floor so you have a secret underground storage.
lay ClaiM
A lot of houses have faux pillars, thick walls and little niches that are part of a builder’s design. If your society allows it and you can get a builder to determine whether either breaking a wall or building something in a niche is an option, you’ve got a few more inches to use as space. Use niches as cabinets, shelves or bookcases and either carve out thicker walls to build wall-cabinets or break pillars to expand your space.

My son recently got engaged to his longterm girlfriend, Tanvi. She is a lovely, well brought up girl and has always dressed nicely (see below). She recently went for a three month break to America... And from a well-dressed lady...
T
ype ‘Are you too supportive of your partner?’ on Google’s search bar and despite what you asked for, you’ll find numerous links on how you can and should be supportive of your partner. It’s one of the primary lessons that you are preached about when you are going to get married or are newlywed. While well-wishers go on and on about it, you should also know that being too supportive can actually affect your relationship as well your partner. In fact, a 2010 study found that too much support can actually be detrimental to your relationship. Take this quiz to know if you are overextending your shoulder for him to cry on.
She turned into “fashionable” girl who followed “trends.”
Are you too supportive? Do you support your partner even when you know that he’s wrong? a) Always. If I won’t stand up for him, who will? b) I do that in front of other people but when we are alone, I point his folly out to him. c) Oh no. If he’s wrong, he’s wrong. When you know that your partner has gained substantial amount of weight, you: a) Tell him that a few kilos are absolutely fine. b) Tell him the truth and encourage him to work out and shed the extra kilos. c) Criticise him every time he is about to eat something calorific.
You are with a group of friends and you guys start arguing. Do you often shut up even though you know he is wrong? a) I always shut up because I don’t want to upset him. b) I often stand up for myself or just maintain my silence and make him understand that he was wrong. c) We end up fighting throughout the night. Your partner picks a fight with someone. Do you always end up taking it over? a) Yes. I often end up doing that. b) Sometimes. When there is more than one person arguing with him. c) No. He needs to deal with his own mess.
He is planning to invest in something and needs your savings too. You aren’t sure about Do you agree to all his financial decisions even though you know that they aren’t right? this investment. What do you do? a) It’s ‘our’ money. And if he’s thinking of a) Yes. I trust his instincts. b) No. I always make sure that I know his investing, it must be a right move. b) I’d discuss and clarify my doubts over it reasons, only then agree to his decisions. c) I try to keep our finances separate no and then only give my permission. matter what. c) I won’t part with my savings in that case.
Mostly As
We found you! You are most definitely over-supportive of your partner and this will only make matters worse, not just for you, but also for him and your relationship. You might think that you are just being supportive but agreeing to and supporting everything he says despite knowing that he’s wrong is foolishness. There’s no need to do it in front of others, but point out his mistakes to him when both of you are alone.
My husband of seven years has recently accepted his ex-fiancé’s friend request on Facebook. He didn’t tell me and I saw it myself. Her relationship status says “It’s complicated” which leads me to suspect that she’s reaching out to him for more than just a shoulder to cry on. Am I overreacting or
should I confront him? — Kritika, Colaba
Dear Kritika, Unfortunately, reconnecting with an ex on Facebook has sent a lot of committed partners on the cheating path. I don’t think you are overreacting and feel you should trust your gut. Especially since your
Worse!
VERY short shorts! A completely seethrough blouse.
Mostly Bs
You’ve struck a perfect balance and are as supportive as you are supposed to be. You don’t go overboard and also use your own grey cells. While supporting your partner is great, blindly trusting him in every decision is disastrous. You know where to draw a line.
A skin tight t-shirt...
... and a rather silly hat!
I was not looking forward to Tanvi and Sanjay’s official engagement
But, I was pleasantly surprised when she turned up in a demure dress!
Mostly Cs
A little more warmth would be really nice for your partner. You are not at all supportive of your partner; in fact, we feel you are cold and don’t have much respect for him. If you continue doing so then your relationship might hit a self-imposed rock soon.

husband wasn’t upfront about it, even if she sent the request. Share your concerns with him but try to be cool. Ask what interactions they have had and give him a chance to explain his side. But, in my books, an ex-fiancé is likely to spell trouble. Send your questions to womansworld@afternoondc.in
Then she turned around!
"Tanvi is embarrassing me and my entire family by dressing up like this! I am inclined to tell my son to postpone their marriage.” — Future M-I-L a) There’s a line between fashionable and decent. Talk to Tanvi and tell her what she can and cannot wear. b) She is just going through a phase because of her holiday abroad. Give her some time and she might realise her faux pas on her own. In the mean time, keep quiet or talk to Sanjay if it is bothering you. c) She is a grown woman who can wear what she wants. You’re beginning to sound like a horrible mother in law! LAST WEEK: Rao should pick Option A: Calm down. You know what you have to do. Exercise and eat healthy together. If going to the gym does not appeal to you anymore, go dancing or cycling. Mix it up. She will soon get back to enjoying feeling healthy again

AAM AADMI IS NOT INDEPENDENT EVEN TODAY POLITICALLY, India is independent since the past 67 years. But the aam aadmi has no independence from daily spiraling food inflation, existence of various mafias (of mining, slum, builders and many others), nationwide spread corruption, black money, tax evasion, hoarding, profiteering, large scale unemployment, the root cause of all these antipeople menaces viz. population explosion, domestic as well as cross border terrorism, underworld, not propeople, but vote bank political policies and what not, since 1947, under the rule of our own ‘representatives.’ — Hansraj Bhat, Borivali
TRICOLOUR is being used as bikini and T-shirt which is a disgrace to our flag. By using it as a bikini during that photo shoot, people just play with our National honour. The tricolour instills in you a sense of great pride, no matter what the platform and the confidence level takes you to the skies on the Republic Day. India is my country and all the Indians are my brothers are sisters— this rings in my mind throughout the day and the year around. Born in the year 1950, I feel proud to be an Indian. But generally speaking I felt that these occasions are not worth celebrating if we do not obey the right guidelines. We see people hoisting the flag as per their own convenience and again in the evening the flag is not brought down as per the guidelines, instead the flag flies during night also in some building. This is not in good taste. Again we find
great fervor and fragrance. On our Independence Day, a thought came to my mind there are many scandals taking place in our country like the 2G scam and Adarsh Housing Scam and many more.We Salute our great stalwarts like Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit JawaharLal Nehru, Subhash Chandra Bose, Vallabbhai Patel and many more who have contributed to the country in a great way and fought with Britishers for the

IT’S a pity that after every Independence Day an d Republic Day celebrations, the country’s national flag is strewn on the streets and people — irrespective of caste, creed, colour or religion — blithely walk over them. Even when the national anthem is played on radio or telecast on television, people don’t respect it by standing to attention and singing it. They are busy talking on their mobile phones or chatting with their friends. As Indians, we should show respect for our country’s national flag, national song and national anthem. It is only through the sacrifices made by our freedom fighters that we have managed to gain independence; otherwise we would’ve still been living
Deepa Gahlot hit the nail on the head! THIS is to compliment Deepa Gahlot on her down-to-earth review of ‘King Khan’s ‘ChennaI Express’ in two instalments (Aug 9,10) without getting overawed by the big names. She is quite right in lamenting that this film is nothing more than a rehash of his most successful COPY CAT: ‘Chennai Express’ is ‘DDLJ’ that came out some the rehashed version of ‘Dilwale 18 years back, giving his Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’ viewers the exercise of the ultimte analysis, as the spotting the difference. It reviewer says, the film also looks like an attempt by SRK to test the waters in “may make 100 crores, but it still insults the audience terms of popularity, vis-aand tarnishes SRK’s supervis the other two Khans stardom”. It will be good if and the Kapoor who is hogging as much of media he cares to remember his ‘Fauji’ days and strives space as the Gujarat chief to get into the bracket of a minister these days - Ranbir. This holds good for the Dilip Kumar or a Dev Anand, instead of churning leading lady also who is running neck-to-neck with out such stuff overconfithe other two ‘K’s—Katrina dently, since anything from his stable sells. and Kareena, for room at the top. There is an overdose of Tamil in the film. In — Dr. V. Subramanyan, Thane

GANDHI
TV GUIDE
TODAY’S BEST VIEWING
In 1893, Gandhi is thrown off a South African train for
being an Indian and traveling in a first class compartment. Gandhi realizes that the laws are biased against Indians and decides to start a non-violent protest campaign for the rights of all Indians in South Africa. After numerous arrests and the unwanted attention of the world, the government finally relents by recognizing rights for Indians, though not for the native blacks of South Africa. After this victory, Gandhi is invited back to India, where he is now considered something of a national hero. He is urged to take up the fight for India’s independence from the British Empire. Gandhi agrees, and mounts a non-violent non-cooperation campaign of unprecedented scale, coordinating millions of Indians nationwide. There are some setbacks, such as violence against the protesters and Gandhi’s occasional imprisonment. Nevertheless, the campaign generates great attention, and Britain faces intense public pressure.

with someone else? Does she have lesbian tendencies? All this needs to be explored with your wife. I suggest that both of you have a session with a good sex counsellor to reach to the bottom of the matter.

A husband-wife relationship should have a of sexual abuse? Is it because she has unresolved emotional issues with you and so can- strong foundation of “loving, understanding and not give in to intimacy without resolving them? caring” about each other. Once this is achieved, Is she unwell? Is she overworked and too busy sex will follow naturally as an ‘expression of with the home and children? Is she involved your love’ for each other. Don’t make sex a me-

PISCES (February 19 - March 20): Try to plan your schedule carefully for any eventuality that could crop up today. Instinctively you will know what to do and make the right decisions. A disciplined approach will certainly get rewarded. Social meetings and casual get-togethers lead to an important alliance for fresh business.

My passport, please! Application form of actress had been accepted against acknowledgement by passport office By Philip Varghese
A
lmost eleven months after gangster Abu Salem’s former companion and actress Monica Bedi filed an application with the Regional Passport Office (RTO) for reissuing her passport, the actress moved the Bombay High Court with a petition to seek a decision on her application. Based on the application, the division bench of Justice V. M. Kanade and Justice K. S. Shriram issued notice to the passport office and Union government directing them to respond to the petition within two weeks. Arguing in the court, Senior Counsel Niteen Pradhan, representing Bedi in this case said, “Bedi and Salem were arrested in Portugal and extradited to India in 2005. The same year she was held guilty for submitting forged documents for procuring passport and sentenced to five years in jail. In 2007, she was released on bail pending appeal. In 2010, the Supreme Court while upholding her convic-
Monica Bedi tion reduced the sentence to the period spent by her in prison. Bedi filed an application for re-issuance of her passport on September 3, 2012. Her form was accepted and she was given an acknowledgement slip. However, till date there has been no communication. Also, no order has been passed rejecting her application. As per rules, a person’s passport application cannot be entertained if he or she has been convicted five years prior to the filing of the passport application.”
