esearchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system that can detect signs of anxiety and depression in the speech patterns of young children. The research published in the Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics suggests a machine learning algorithm might provide a fast and easy way of diagnosing anxiety and depression --conditions that are difficult to spot and often overlooked in young people. “We need quick, objective tests to catch kids when they are suffering,” said study lead author Ellen McGinnis, PhD candidate at the University of Vermont in the US. “The majority of kids under eight are undiagnosed,” McGinnis added.

US edges to ‘constitutional crisis’ If a full-blown crisis develops, the Democrats may impeach President Donald Trump, a move that a large section of the party base demands ARUL LOUIS, NEW YORK

s the US edges to a constitutional crisis with the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives unleashing a multi-pronged attack on President Donald Trump and his officials and him launching a counter offensive, both sides are working on the political calculus of impeachment. “We are now in a constitutional crisis”, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Jerry Nadler, declared on Wednesday as the standoff with Trump intensified. If a full-blown constitutional crisis develops, the Democrats may impeach Trump - a move that a large section of the party base demands but the leadership is cautious about. However, Trump himself may be trying to precipitate an impeachment if he sees electoral gains. He told a rally of his supporters in Florida on Wednesday night: “They want to do investigations instead of investments. I think it drives us right on to victory in 2020.” He may think that an impeachment — or continuing investigations — that could drag on while the election campaigns get under-

way would rally his base and help him play the martyr while Democrats are mired in an electoral debate over him at the expense of policies. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has said she is against impeachment, saw through this ploy. She said on Tuesday that because Trump want to “solidify his base” regardless of the cost to the nation, he “is goading us to impeach him, that’s what he’s doing every single day. He’s just taunting, taunting, taunting because

Donald Trump Jr subpoenaed to testify on Russia contacts WASHINGTON: The US Senate Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed Donald Trump Jr, the President’s eldest son, seeking an additional closed-door testimony as part of lawmakers’ ongoing probe of the Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, according to people familiar with the summons. Trump Jr has been a focus of several probes, including Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller’s investigation, over his involvement in a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer who allegedly had promised political dirt about then Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Congressional Democrats think that in his previous turns on Capitol Hill, Trump Jr may have lied to investigators about that meeting and whether he alerted his father that the meeting would take place, the Wash-

ington Post reported on Wednesday. The younger Trump is the first of the President’s children to be subpoenaed in the continuing congressional investigations into Trump Junior the Russian poll interference. According to a person who discussed the subpoena with Trump Jr, the latter is “exasperated” by the committee’s actions, the report said. The Intelligence Committee has been trying to schedule a second interview with Trump Jr for weeks, according to people familiar with the negotiations. The panel is bringing back several key witnesses for second interviews to give lawmakers a chance to question people previously interviewed only by committee staffers. —IANS

he knows it would be divisive”. Pelosi may want her party to avoid the trap, but by Wednesday she was exasperated. “He’s becoming self-impeachable” and making a case for it everyday, she said at a Washington Post event. Setting the stage for a constitutional crisis, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler’s committee voted to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt for refusing to give it the full report of the inquiry into

the Russian interference in 2016 elections. Trump retaliated by exercising his executive privilege to withhold it from the panel. The full House is expected next week to follow-up the committee vote to hold him in contempt. Theoretically, the House may have the power to arrest Barr if it votes to declare him in contempt, although it is unlikely to go that far. The House under Republican control in 2012 held former President Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for refusing to hand over information about a sting operation against the illicit gun trade that went awry. But it amounted to just a slap on the wrist. Trump’s exercise of his executive power against the release of the full inquiry report could precipitate a constitutional crisis because the House — should it vote so — would be holding Barr in contempt for complying with a presidential order. On the other hand, the concept of executive privilege is itself controversial and Democrats, who are already questioning it, could ultimately take the matter to courts.

BRIEFS Trade war: China warns US of retaliation BEIJING: China on Thursday said that it was prepared to defend its interests in the ongoing trade dispute with the US and reiterated its warning to retaliate if Washington went ahead with its plan to increase tariffs on Chinese products from 10 to 25 per cent. Commerce Minister Gao Feng said in a press conference here that China had the “determination and capacity” to defend its interests but hoped that the US would make efforts to reach a compromise, reports Efe news. He reiterated Beijing’s opposition to the hiked tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump on Sunday.

One student killed, 7 injured in US shooting LOS ANGELES: An 18-year-old student was killed and seven other were injured in a shooting occurred Tuesday afternoon at a school near Denver, capital of the US western state of Colorado, local police confirmed. “It is with extreme sadness that we can confirm that one student at the STEM School was killed in today’s #stemshooting incident. The immediate family has been notified. Douglas County Coroner Jill Romann has not officially identified the student is stating it’s an 18 year old male,” Douglas County Sheriff’s Office tweeted. Two suspects “got deep inside the school,” according to Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock, the Xinhua news agency reported.

US judge stays rule to deport students ARUL LOUIS, NEW YORK

US federal judge has issued a stay order against President Donald Trump’s administration’s rule to make it easier to deport students for even innocent mistakes in following visa regulations and prevent them from returning for as long 10 years by making subtle changes in the regulation. Judge Loretta C. Biggs stopped the US Customs and Immigration Service (USCIS) from temporarily enforcing the rule issued last August that allowed the deportation and penalizing of students who overstayed their visa for 180 days by changing the way in which the period was calculated. She also ordered that the case against the rule to be heard expeditiously. Immigration expert Doug Rand told IANS on Monday: “It is very positive for international students,

a very large proportion of whom are Indians. It means that the policy that the USCIS issued last year is suspended for the foreseeable future, and may be forever depending on how this litigation comes out.” Barring them from returning for three to 10 years “was a very harsh punishment and this was the Trump administration’s way of trying to crack down on what they say is visa abuse, which would just create immense uncertainty for hundreds of thousands of students, the vast majority of whom have no

intention of violating the visa (conditions), and if they do violate the visa (rules) it was an innocent mistake”, he said. Biggs issued the stay order on Friday at the federal court in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on a case filed by two students of Chinese descent, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), three colleges and the Guilford College International Club. She said in her ruling that the plaintiffs have “demonstrated a likelihood of success” in their case against the rule change and they would “suffer irreparable harm” without the stay, which she said would be applied nationwide. Explaining the litigation and the stay, Rand said that if someone on a student visa made a mistake even if it was an innocent one - the USCIS would start applying the 180-day rule on “unlawful presence”, or overstaying the visa, from the day they found the mistake.

The committee has found no substance in the allegations of a former employee of the Supreme Court of India IANS, NEW DELHI

Assam: SC refuses to extend NRC deadline NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to extend the deadline for the finalization of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam. The court said the process must be completed on or before July 31 and the process could not be delayed even by a day. In order to meet the deadline, the court allowed State Coordinator Pratik Hajela “to mention the matter before the Registrar (Judicial) during summer vacation in case urgent hearing is required”. Although the hearing of the case was brief, the NRC Coordinator focused on the major factors delaying the process. Hajela told the court that most of those who had objections regarding their names being excluded from the first draft have failed to show up to contest their claims. A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi asked Hajela to “be brave and keep the law in mind”, and complete the NRC process within the stipulated deadline. The apex court had come down heavily on both the Assam government and the Centre over delays in the process of publishing of the NRC along with the identification and deportation of foreigners.

Sexual harassment case: CJI Gogoi gets clean chit

he Supreme Court appointed three-judge in-house committee probing the allegations of sexual harassment against Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi on Monday gave a clean chit to the CJI in the matter. A statement issued by the top court said: “The in-house committee has found no substance in the allegations contained in the complaint dated April 19, 2019, of a former employee of the Supreme Court of India.” The in-house panel comprised Justice S.A. Bobde, Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice Indu Malhotra. The committee submitted its

Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Rohinton Nariman had met Justice Bobde, who was heading the panel probing the sexual harassment allegations against Gogoi. It was claimed that Chandrachud and Nariman had met the members of the in-house committee on the evening of May 3 to register their concerns over continuing with the probe against the CJI in the absence of the complainant.

‘Shocked’ complainant seeks probe report copy NEW DELHI: A woman, who accused Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi of sexual harassment, on Tuesday asked the apex court’s in-house probe committee for a copy of the report giving a clean chit to the CJI on all charges. “I have a right to know how, why and on what basis have Your Lordships found my complaint to have ‘no substance’,” the complainant said, adding she was “deeply shocked” on the outcome of the committee’s findings. “Despite my detailed affidavit, ample corroborative evidence, and clear and consistent statement reiterating my experience of sexual harassment and consequent victimization, the committee has found no substance in my complaint and affidavit,” she said.

In a press release issued on Sunday, SC Secretary General Sanjeev Kalgaonkar said: “This is wholly incorrect. The in-house committee which is deliberating on the issue concerning the honorable Chief Justice of India deliberates on its own without any input from any other honourable judge of this court.” On April 30, the former employee of the Supreme Court, who had

The letter, addressed to the inhouse committee comprising Justices S.A.

She claims that if a copy of the report is handed over to the CJI, then it is her right to have report to learn about the reason behind the rejection of her complaint, and “depositions of any witnesses, any other persons or any other evidence considered by the committee”. She termed the decision of not handing over the report to her “strange”. While notifying that the in-house committee had given a clean chit to the CJI in the matter on Monday, the Supreme Court’s Secretary General had communicated that committee’s findings would not be made public.

accused the CJI of sexually harassing her, had said that she would no longer appear before the in-house panel set up by the apex court to probe her charges as she felt that she was “not likely to get justice”. The committee was formed after the woman on April 19 levelled allegations of sexual harassment against Chief Justice Gogoi, reportedly in a letter addressed to 22 judges of the Supreme Court.

Lesser known firms line up to board Jet Airways IANS, NEW DELHI

hile a clutch of investors and lesser-known entrepreneurs on Wednesday claimed to have sent their bids for the grounded Jet Airways, industry insiders say they could be either non-serious players or acting as front for others. “Either they have bid for the sake of bidding or could be front for somebody else. Some may later on declare that so and so firm or person is their partner,” said an air-

line executive closely monitoring the bidding process. Commenting on the development, Club One Air Chief Executive and former India head of

Qatar Airways Rajan Mehra said he cannot reject the bids as nonserious. “I don’t agree with the frivolous part. I would not comment on the

bidders acting as front for someone but, yes, it is a possibility,” Mehra said. British entrepreneur Jason Unsworth, who had earlier evinced interest in buying a stake in Jet Airways, is learnt to have sent his bid. Unsworth is chief of start-up Atmosphere Airlines which is yet to start operations. Investment firms Future Trend Capital Investments, Redcliffe Capital and Adi Partners besides an NRI are also learnt to have placed their bids.

Modi second most followed politician globally: Report IANS, NEW DELHI

rime Minister Narendra Modi has become the second most-followed politician in the world with a social media audience of 110,912,648 million on platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, a study by online visibility management and content marketing Software as a Service (SaaS) platform SEMrush said on Tuesday. The most-followed politician globally was former US President

Barack Obama, who has 182,710,777 followers on his Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. With almost 110 million followers worldwide, Modi has overtaken US President Donald Trump who has 96 million followers globally. However, Trump is the secondmost followed politician on Twitter. “The popularity of our PM Narendra Modi is immense and the study finding depicting him as the 2nd most followed person

globally after former US President Barack Obama is a culmination of this fact,” Fernando Angulo, Head of International Partnership, SEMrush, said in a statement. Congress party President Rahul Gandhi has accumulated 12 million followers from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Out of all the social media platforms, Twitter serves as the nest of the maximum number of active political audiences, both domestic and global, says the report by SEMrush.

Muslims in eyes of Congress, BJP The dream of middle class that India is to become a two-party system, both parties representing upper castes, will remain just that — a dream. India will thrive in its strong federal framework SAEED NAQVI, NEW DELHI

f Indira Gandhi had won the 1977 general elections, it would have been a popular endorsement of her Emergency regime. Why would Narendra Modi’s return after the elections be seen differently from Indira Gandhi’s after the Emergency? There is a list of failures — the economy, rural distress, record unemployment, the nightmare of demonetization, GST, throttling of institutions. It must be put down to the effective polarization by Modi that an even more formidable list of misdemeanors is less talked about — lynching by vigilante mobs for trumped up charges of cow slaughter, public lynching of Dalits, harassment of Muslims and Dalits on charges of love jehad, hundreds of Muslims in jail without trial. These nasty ingredients like “revenge” and hate” were not part of the impulse which led to the Emergency. In fact Indira Gandhi was being buffeted by East-West ideological currents, externally and internally. Remember the 70s were going badly for the West. Against that global backdrop Indira Gandhi had split the Congress, then clasped the Soviet hand tightly for the liberation of Bangladesh.

Congress leadership began to strategize on the basis that Hindu sentiment had to be respected. (Photo: IANS)

CPI leader Sripad Amit Dange, Mohan Kumaramanglam, a Communist inclined Union Minister, Left leaning P.N. Haksar as her Principal Secretary were her advisers. The global right and its Indian sympathizers clustered around Jayaprakash Narayan’s Bihar movement in 1974. What Indira Gandhi called the Jute press was stacked against her. Concerted pressure was beginning to unnerve her when the Allahabad High Court judgement, unseating her from Parliament caused her to impose the Emergency.

However, Indira Gandhi appeared to have been chastened into Hinduism once she returned to power in 1980. Operation Blue Star was launched, which eventually led to her assassination. Followed by the anti-Sikh pogrom of 1984. When Rajiv Gandhi won the 1984 election with 414 seats in a house of 543, the party extracted two conclusions from the outcome. First, it was a sympathy wave because of Indira Gandhi’s murder. Second, it was also Hindu consolidation against minority communalism. I learnt this first hand in

1985 from V.N. Gadgil, Secretary in the Congress Working Committee and a good friend. “The feeling among Hindus is growing that Muslims are appeased.” The Congress leadership began to strategize on the basis that Hindu sentiment had to be respected. The BJP, smarting under the fact that it had been reduced to two seats in 1984, began to worry more when it saw the Congress stealing its “Hindu” platform. By way of damage control, the party elected L.K. Advani its President in 1986. For the 1989 elections, Prime

Minister V.P. Singh implemented the Mandal Commission report reserving government jobs for Other Backward Classes (OBCs). This aggravated the intra-Hindu caste conflict. The Hindu caste pyramid was in a state of high agitation when Advani undertook the journey on a Hindu chariot to Ayodhya to highlight the urgency of Rama’s temple being built. Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri Masjid evolved as Hindu-Muslim conflict. The Congress imagines it is reinventing itself as an upper caste party which once had under its canopy Muslims and Dalits too. It is instructive for the Congress to realize that Indira Gandhi’s Emergency was an aberration in a settled world order. It embarrassed Gandhi herself. Modi’s excesses are in a world order up to its waist in fascism. Will he fit into this order? Unlikely, because he has to grapple with India’s infinite variety. Modi has to dream unrealistically of imposing a uniformity on a multilingual, multi-regional, multi-religious sub-continent, not yet a classical nation state. That is why the dream of the Indian middle class that India is about to become a twoparty system, both parties representing upper castes, will remain just that — a dream.

We need a clearer policy against political violence The most dangerous form of political violence is the rise of new terror emanating from faith-based motivation D.C. PATHAK, NEW DELHI

he General Election this time has been marked by a significant amount of violence in the run-up to the polls in several parts of the country. The bitterness amongst the contesting parties in states like West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra precipitated clashes between rival workers testing the efficacy and impartiality of the local police. The institution of the State Electoral Officer did not seem to be strong enough in monitoring the performance of the district police officials and taking action against those who showed serious dereliction of duty. Violence around polling booths is a negation of democratic rights

of the voters and by now India should have been able to practice zero tolerance towards this malaise. It is high time a commission examined the ways and means of ensuring peace during elections and defined specific policy measures in this regard for the future. It is highly regrettable that the largest democracy in the world cannot free the election process of street level violence. Clearly in the federal scheme of things it is the state police chief who has to take direct responsibility for it and demonstrate his or her apolitical credentials while handling law and order during elections with an iron fist. There should be no delay in the implementation of the Supreme Court order issued last year against the

practice of appointing officiating DGPs - that also clearly laid down that the UPSC will draw up a panel of three names in consultation with the state government and that the state government will make one of them the DGP of the state on the basis of merit-cumseniority. This is the single most important police reform that the Centre must put in place at once. Another area of political violence that showed up during and outside of elections, concerns the injurious fallout from public speeches that tended to instigate caste, communal or regional conflicts. The most dangerous form of political violence that is steadily permeating our nation, however, is the rise of new terror emanating from faith-based motivation. Ter-

Another area of political violence that showed up during elections concerns the injurious fallout from public speeches that tended to instigate communal conflict. (Photo: IANS)

rorism by definition is the resort to ‘covert violence for a perceived political cause’. In the absence of such a ‘cause’ the violence will just be sheer criminality and terrorism is not that certainly. The new global terror that is now afflicting the world and becoming a prime security threat to India is a class apart since it is linked to the call of ‘defense of Islam’ or Jehad. This is an outcome of the complications connected with the ‘war on terror’ launched against the Islamic radi-

cals by the US-led West post 9/11 on the one hand and the cross border terrorism started by Pakistan using India- specific terror outfits under the ISI control, on the other. Developments in recent times have made Pakistan the world repository of Islamic militancy and the agencies in that country are now manoeuvring the entire spectrum of militants from Al Qaeda-Taliban combine and ISIS at one end to Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen at the other.

Pompeo visits Iraq amid tensions with Iran

ran will partially withdraw from the 2015 landmark nuclear deal signed with six other nations, President Hassan Rouhani announced on Wednesday and warned that his country will resume high level uranium enrichment if global powers fail to keep their commitments within the next 60 days. His announcement comes exactly a year after the US abandoned the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) it had signed with Iran along with Russia, China, France and the UK plus Germany as co-signatories. In a televised speech, Rouhani said Tehran was reducing its own commitments under the agreement and would no longer respect limits on its reserves of low-enriched uranium — currently limited to 300 kg — and heavy water. He added that the remaining parties to the deal had been informed in advance of the move. Rouhani issued a 60-day moratorium for rest of the signatories of the pact to fulfil Iran’s demands and save

He accused “hardliners” in the US of working to undermine the agreement, saying it was “in the interests of the region and the world, but not the enemies of Iran, therefore they spared no effort since 2015 to undermine (the deal)”, CNN reported. “We have never been the first to violate the commitments or to wage wars, but at the same time we have

never surrendered to bullying and will not do so, and we will certainly give appropriate response to any kind of aggression,” he said. Rouhani specified that the measure — which would mean Iran would not abide by the condition to sell its enriched uranium and heavy water beyond given limits — had a 60-day deadline during which Tehran would wait for response from the remaining JCPOA signatories.

BAGHDAD: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has made an unannounced visit to Iraq after abruptly cancelling a planned trip to Germany amid escalating tensions with Iran. The top US diplomat met Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi, President Barham Salih and other officials while on the ground in the Iraqi capital in a roughly four-hour visit on Tuesday, according to the pool travelling with him. Pompeo described his meetings as “productive” and said he spoke to the officials “about the importance of Iraq ensuring that it’s able to adequately protect Americans in their country”, CNN reported on Wednesday.

The accord is aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions in return for sanctions relief, but TehranWashington tensions have risen since the US unilaterally withdrew

“They both provided assurances that they understood that was their responsibility,” he said. Pompeo’s visit came days after a US aircraft carrier was deployed to the Middle East region, which officials said was in response to threats to American forces and its allies from Iran. Speaking to the press pool following his visit, Pompeo reiterated that it was the US’ understanding that “these were attacks that were imminent, these were attacks that were going to happen fairly soon, we’ve learned about them and we’re taking every action to deter them”. —IANS

14 dead in Taliban attack on aid group in Kabul IANS, KABUL

he death toll of a Taliban attack targeting an international aid group in the Afghan capital jumped to 14 on Thursday, with the militant group warning it would conduct more such strikes to avenge the civilian casualties of counter-insurgency military operations by Afghan and foreign forces. A group of Taliban attackers on Wednesday triggered a car bomb

IPL: DC to fight CSK for final berth After restricting Sunrisers Hyderabad to 162, Delhi Capitals eventually crossed the total with two wickets in hand in the final over of their chase IANS, VISAKHAPATNAM

MI beat CSK by 6 wickets, cruise into fifth IPL final

iding high on confidence, Delhi Capitals would aim to make it to their first IPL final when they take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Qualifier 2 of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, here on Friday. The Delhi-based franchise have never made it to IPL final and thus would be eager to come out with yet another inspirational performance and set up a summit clash with the Mumbai Indians. The young Delhi side, which have been magnificent in this IPL edition, defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in a nail-biting Eliminator on Wednesday. After restricting SRH to 162, Delhi eventually crossed the line with two wickets in hand in the final over of their chase.

L JAIPUR: At 15 years, Shafali Verma made the most of her opportunity with a promising knock in Velocity’s three-wicket win over Trailblazers in the Women’s T20 Challenge here on Wednesday. Later, Verma said she was unperturbed by the enormity of the stage and was happy to help the team register a win. Chasing a paltry 113 for victory, Verma made the most of a reprieve -- she was dropped on a duck by Sophie Ecclestone -- to score 34 off 31 balls. “I wasn’t nervous. I enjoyed my batting. I wanted to make a good contribution to my team. My association and my father have shaped me as a batter,” she said after the match. The Haryana girl made most of her second life by unleashing a flurry of strokes and was particularly severe against Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Shakera Selman. Asked about her favorite player, the teen replied, “Sachin Tendulkar is my favorite player and role model,” she added. —IANS

Lucas Moura leads Tottenham to first CL final IANS, AMSTERDAM

ottenham Hotspur were through to their first Champions League final thanks to a Lucas Moura hat-trick in the semifinal second leg against Ajax whom they defeated 3-2. Trailing 0-1 after the first leg in London, Spurs on Wednesday conceded two more goals at Amsterdam’s Johan Cruyff Arena before the Brazilian caught fire in the second half to level the tie at 3-3 and allow the Premier League club to advance on away goals, reports Efe news.

A day after Liverpool romped 40 over Barcelona to prevail 4-3 on aggregate in the other semifinal, Ajax started the contest determined to add to their goal total and it took them just five minutes to draw blood. Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris did well to turn aside Dusan Tadic’s strike, but poor defending by Kieran Trippier on the ensuing corner kick allowed Matthias de Ligt to head-in from close range. Tottenham’s Son Heung-min hit the post seconds after the Ajax goal and the South Korean forced a stop from host keeper Andre

Onana in the 22nd minute. The keeper then denied Christian Eriksen before Moura put the ball over the cross-bar. In the 36th minute, Tadic charged down the left side on a counter and slanted a pass to the oncoming Hakim Ziyech, whose strike left Lloris with no chance. With his side down 0-2 on the night and 0-3 overall, Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino made a change to start the second half, replacing midfielder Victor Wanyama with striker Fernando Llorente and the substitution visibly lifted the visitors.

Want to grow thick skin like dad: Ananya NEW DELHI: Actress Ananya Panday, who is making her Hindi film debut with Student of the Year 2, says she wants to grow a thick skin like her actor-father Chunky Panday. Asked if she feels the pressure to sustain in the industry especially because she comes from a film family, Ananya told the media here: “I think I do, because my father has such good comic timing. So, that is something that I always hear that. Did you inherit that comedy from your father?’ “My character in the film (SOTY 2) is also pretty funny and she give these one-liners, so I think the pressure is there especially in the comedy department which I will try to hopefully live up to.” What advice did her father give her before her Bollywood foray? “He didn’t give me any advice because he knows that his time was really different as compared to mine. So he thinks that I cannot apply the things which he applied during his acting stint. But I think I have learnt a lot from his behaviour. “He never changed because of his successes and failures, so I want to be like that. I also want to take jokes in my stride the way he does. He always cracks jokes on himself. I want to grow thick skin like him.” Ananya said her father’s feedback has been the most important for her. “For me, my favourite response has to be that of my father’s because that was the one that I was looking forward to the most because he hadn’t seen anything of

Vidya excited to play ‘human computer’ Shakuntala Devi IANS, MUMBAI

Actress Vidya Balan has confirmed she is playing the lead role in a film on mathematics genius Shakuntala Devi, who earned the moniker of ‘human computer’ for her ability to make swift calculations. Set for a summer 2020 release, the film is to be directed by Anu Menon of London, Paris, New York and Four More Shots Please! fame, and produced by Vikram Malhotraled Abundantia Entertainment. “I am extremely excited to play the human computer, Shakuntala Devi, on the big screen. She was truly someone who embraced her individuality, had a strong feminist voice and braved many a naysayer to reach the pinnacle of success,” Vidya said in a statement. “But what truly fascinates me is that you wouldn’t normally associate a fun person with math... and she

completely turns that perception on its head.” “I am thrilled that Vikram, who I’ve worked with on Kahaani, and his team are producing the film. Vikram, Anu and I are proud to bring to life the story of one of the most inspiring women of this coun-

try,” said Vidya, who has been widely lauded for her versatility. “How incredible that ‘The Math Genius’, ‘The Human Computer’, was a small-town Indian girl, who took the world by storm,” she added. Shakuntala’s genius was first discovered at the age of 5, when she

solved a math problem meant for 18-year-old students. Though she never received any formal education, her talent for numbers also earned her a place in the 1982 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records. Aside from her love for mathe-

matics, she was an astrologer, cookbook author and a novelist. She travelled the world demonstrating her mathematical ideas -- at colleges, in theatres, on radio and on television. She also penned the book “The World Of Homosexuals”. The film on her is written by Menon along with Nayanika Mahtani, and the dialogue will be penned by Ishita Moitra. It is scheduled to go on floors later this year. Producer Malhotra is confident that the “compelling story will resonate strongly with fans of all ages” and is especially excited to have Vidya on board. “I’m delighted to collaborate with Vidya once again. Her versatility as a performer is unmatched and the passion that she has brought to this film is amazing. I am equally delighted to partner with Anu Menon, who has woven an entertaining and evocative narrative,” Malhotra said.

When host Neha Dhupia asked Rajkummar what changed after back-to-back box office success, he said nothing. "For me, now also it is about the film. It's about the story. Now, the only thing that has changed is that I get to work with bigger filmmakers, be a part of bigger films," he said. The actor added: "...For Trapped, I didn't get paid at all.

Modi accuses Rajiv Gandhi again Former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi used INS Viraat for vacations, claims Narendra Modi; Congress refutes claim IANS, NEW DELHI

rime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday accused then Prime Minster late Rajiv Gandhi of using aircraft carrier INS Viraat and its personnel for vacations with his foreigner in-laws. He raked up the issue at a rally here to counter the attack by Congress leaders who say that defense forces have been politicized by the IANS, BANKURA (WEST BENGAL)

aking a dig at Mamata Banerjee for saying that she doesn’t accept him as the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi on Thursday said the West Bengal Chief Minister rather feels proud to accept Pakistan’s Prime Minister and accused her of insulting the Constitution. “One can easily gauge the level of her anxiety hearing the language she has been using... Didi is even insulting the country’s Constitution,” Modi said at an election meeting at Kamladanga in Bankura district. “You will be shocked to know she has been publicly saying that she is not ready to accept the Prime Minister of the nation, whereas she feels proud to accept Pakistan’s Prime Minister.” Modi accused Banerjee of destroying Bengal as “she is addicted to power in the state”. “Now, she is further bent on destroying the

BJP, citing remarks by BJP leaders that “Modi ki sena” had carried out air strikes on a terror camp in Pakistan. Addressing the gathering in Ramleela Maidan, Modi said, “Who has been treating the forces as personal property? ...have you ever heard that a family goes for holiday on a warship? This has happened in our country. The ‘naamdar’ family used INS Viraat as its personal property. They insulted it.”

INS Viraat was withdrawn from its place of deployment and sent to fetch the in-laws of Rajiv Gandhi before it was taken to an island where nobody was there to welcome them and all arrangements for them were made by the personnel of the aircraft carrier, Modi alleged. The holiday continued not for one day, but for 10 days during which the warship remained stationed there, Modi added. Last week, Modi had called Rajiv

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Thursday said late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi did not use aircraft carrier INS Viraat for vacation but for an official purpose. The statement comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday accused Rajiv Gandhi of using the aircraft carrier and its personnel for vacations with his foreigner in-laws. Addressing a press conference here, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said Modi was attacking Gandhi as he had no achievements of his government to present before voters. “Vice Admiral (retired) Vinod Pasricha has told TV channels that this is a lie. Rajivji was on an official visit. It was not a holiday. Facts do not matter to Modi,” he said.

Gandhi “bhrashtachari No 1”. The Prime Minister then asked whether the presence of “foreigners on the warship did not amount to playing with the security of the country. Or was it allowed just because he was Rajiv Gandhi?” Taking a pot shot at the Congress’ NYAY scheme, Modi said, “Congress has started to talk about Nyay (justice), but I want to ask them who shall do justice to the victims of 1984 anti-sikh riots?” In an apparent reference to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath, Modi said those who were behind the anti-sikh riots were made Chief Ministers by the Congress. The Prime Minister also said that in the last five years, 10 Janpath (the residence of the Gandhi family), which earlier used to house middlemen, has become middleman free.

Khera said Modi was the first Prime Minister of the country who was seeking votes on his “failures”. “What has happened in Pulwama is a monumental failure of the intelligence. However Modiji dared to seek votes over it,” he said. Issues such as demonetization, unemployment and Rafale aircraft deal were not the part of the debate for Modi, he said. —IANS

“Now instead of middlemen, their house is visited by lawyers and advocates as they are afraid of facing the law,” he said. Modi further said that the country has witnessed four different political cultures -- ‘naampanthi’, ‘vaampanthi’, ‘daam’ and ‘gaban panthi’ and ‘vikaspanthi’. “Those who believe in dynasties come under ‘naampanthi’, those who believe in ‘vaampanthi’ support foreign culture, while the ‘daam’ and ‘gaban panthi’ are those who believe in ‘gundatantra’ and ‘vikaspanthi’ is for those who believe in development.” “But now a fifth political culture has arrived in the national capital and that is ‘nakampanthi’ -- those who don’t want to work and those who fail in everything,” he said, referring to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

Mamata accepts Pak PM, not India’s: Modi state out of fear of losing power. She is not bothered about ‘Ma Maati Maanush’ but her own benefits, seat of power and also her relatives, nephew and extortionists,” he said. Modi said he was told that the Trinamool government tried its best to stop the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from holding the rally. “But no one can stop the person who has the blessing of the people.” Modi reiterated his earlier accusation that the Trinamool Congress chief neither received nor returned his calls to assess the losses inflicted by cyclone Fani last week. “During the cyclone, I called her twice but she ignored it due to her arrogance and

preferred not to speak to me. The Central government wanted to conduct a meeting with the state officials in order to extend help, but she refused,” he said. “This injustice done to Bengal” and “Didi’s arrogance” would ruin the state, he added. Addressing BJP workers, Modi said the entire nation was “talking about the way you people are standing face-to-face with the Trinamool backed miscreants”. “The anarchy spread by Didi in Bengal is strengthening the resolve to remove her from power. “She is the Chief Minister but she is allowing all sorta of people to run the show. The Trinamool is there

only in name, but the actual show is being run by Jagai Madhai (a nexus between Trinamool leaders and extortionists and miscreants),” he said. Modi also took potshots at Banerjee for seeking proof of airstrikes carried out by the IAF on terror camps in Pak while using Bangladeshi artists in Trinamool’s poll campaign and “backing” infiltrators.

Rahul sorry for ‘chowkidar’ goof-up The Congress President was asked by the Supreme Court to apologize for incorrectly saying ‘chowkidar chor hai’ (the watchman is a thief) IANS, NEW DELHI

ongress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday filed a fresh affidavit in the Supreme Court, tendering his “unconditional apology” for “unintentionally” attributing certain comments of his to the top court and pleaded for closure of the contempt proceedings in the matter. Gandhi had been asked by the apex court to apologize for incorrectly saying that it had said “chowkidar chor hai” (the watchman is a thief ), an euphemism the Congress chief uses to attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the context of the Rafale fighter jet deal. In a three-page affidavit, Gandhi said: “The deponent unconditionally apologizes for the wrongful attribution to the court. The deponent further states that any such attributions were entirely unintentional, non-wilful and inadvertent.” Stating that he has “never sought or intended to, directly or indirectly, commit any act that interferes

Over 62% voting in fifth-phase NEW DELHI: Over 62 per cent voters exercised their franchise on Monday in the fifth phase of Lok Sabha elections in 51 constituencies, with voting percentage marginally higher than 61.75 per cent recorded in 2014 parliamentary elections. The constituencies were spread across seven states. The fifth phase was the smallest of seven-phase elections to elect a new Lok Sabha. The polling percentage was higher compared to 2014 in Hindi heartland of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. “The overall polling percentage was 62.56 per cent in 2019 compared to 61.75 per cent in 2014,” Deputy Election Commissioner Sandeep Saxena told reporters here. He said the figure is expected to go up further once all the votes cast are accounted for. In seven seats in West Bengal, polling percentage was 73.97 per cent compared to 81.37 per cent in 2014. In Uttar Pradesh where 14 seats went to polls on Monday, 57.33 per cent voters had cast their ballot by 6

uled to hear the matter on Friday. Earlier, Gandhi had expressed regret for his remarks twice in two affidavits. But, the court granted him another opportunity to file a fresh affidavit tendering apology. On April 10, Gandhi had told reporters that the Supreme Court

had “said ‘chowkidar chor hai’”. He made the comments hours after a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and including Justices K.M. Joseph and S.K. Kaul, agreed to hear review petitions on its December order in the Rafale mat-

ter. In December, the apex court had rejected the need for an inquiry into the Rafale deal. After Gandhi’s controversial comments, Lekhi moved a contempt of court petition against him in the top court which took serious cognizance of the remarks, saying these had been incorrectly attributed to it. The court issued a notice to the Congress leader and asked him to apologise. On April 22, Gandhi filed an affidavit, expressing “regret” for the comments, saying those were made in the “heat” of election campaigning. The Supreme Court, however, was not pleased and asked Gandhi’s counsel Abhishek Manu Singhvi the reason for mentioning “regret” within brackets in the affidavit. Singhvi tried to argue that “regret” and “apology” were the same thing but an unhappy Chief Justice Gogoi said: “We have great difficulty in understanding what you are saying.” The court then gave Gandhi another chance to file a fresh affidavit to express his apology in clear terms, which he did on Wednesday.

ongress leader Priyanka Gandhi won a lot of hearts as she took out a roadshow in Delhi North East constituency on Wednesday for Congress candidate and former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit. Her 2.2-km-long roadshow in east Delhi’s Seelampur area saw people gathered on both sides of the roads as well as on the dividers while several came out on their roofs to see the Congress General Secretary wave to them. Gandhi also tried to charm the people, making sure to call children to her vehicle at regular intervals, have a small chat with them and offered them a selfie. Though the constituency is currently represented by Bharatiya Janata Party’s Delhi chief Manoj Tiwari, but many of those who were out said that this roadshow might just turn things difficult for him. “Even though Sheilaji could not impress us with her work, but it is about the country and most of us believe that once we send Congress people to parliament Priyankaji

would be given important responsibility,” said Mohammad Parvez who had come with his daughter for the roadshow. Some female supporters of the Congress said that Gandhi was a source of inspiration and they believed that she will soon lead a women revolution in the country to ensure more opportunities for females. “When we see her, we realize that we can also stand shoulder to

shoulder with males. She has been undoubtedly been a great strength for Rahul Gandhi and we are sure she will open new opportunities for us,” said Minakshi Anand. However, all does not seem rosy for the Congress with many in the constituency also feel that Congress might not get enough seats to form a government and in that, the country might lack a good leader, citing the example of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Priyanka, Deepika sizzle at ‘MET Gala 2019’ IANS, NEW YORK

riyanka brought whimsy and animation to the pink carpet with a vibrant, yet unique custom-made Dior gown for the event with the theme ‘Camp: Notes on Fashion’. She went bold and played up the theme with a zany look in a silver gown with colorful ruffled feathers, a very high leg split, a matching cape along with her big hairstyle that included a crown on top. Her outfit comprised a sheer top which came with silver crisscross detailing. Thanks to her high slit, Priyanka flaunted her sheer crystal tights. She glammed up her dramatic look with silver-frosted brows and lashes and opting for dark burgundy lip color, and styling her hair in voluminous back-combed waves. But it was her silver spiked crown which caught everyone’s attention in the accessory department. She brought an Indian touch to the look with a bindi. Nick, 26, and Priyanka, 36,

attended their first Met Gala here as a married couple earlier this week. Actress Deepika Padukone made waves at the pink carpet of the MET Gala 2019 by taking on a Barbie avatar in a Zac Posen gown. Deepika, who gained global recognition with “XXX: Return of Xander Cage” in 2017, stunned one and all when she stepped out

People gossip for average 52 minutes a day, says study NEW YORK: While people gossip 52 minutes a day on average in 16 waking hours, women don’t engage in “tear-down” gossip any more than men, reveals an interesting study. According to researchers from University of California-Riverside, lower income people don’t gossip more than their more well-to-do counterparts and younger people are more likely to gossip negatively than their older counterparts. “There is a surprising dearth of information about who gossips and how, given public interest and opinion on the subject,” said Megan Robbins, assistant psychology professor who led the study. “Everyone gossips and gossip is ubiquitous,” the researchers noted in the paper published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science. Extraverts gossip far more fre-

This is Deepika’s third outing at the event. Mukesh and Nita Ambani’s daughter Isha Ambani turned many heads with her breathtaking look at the Met Gala 2019. For the gala, Isha opted for a beautiful soft lilac creation by Prabal Gurung, the designer who styled

actress Deepika Padukone’s look for last year’s Met Gala. Singer-actress Lady Gaga made a grand Met Gala entrance with four outfit changes on the pink carpet. Gaga surprised fans when she took off her first look to reveal a black strapless couture gown underneath, which she paired with a black umbrella.

Alcohol intake in India up 38% IANS, LONDON

quently than introverts while women gossip more than men but only in neutral, information-sharing gossip, the findings showed. In the research, Robbins and Alexander Karan, a graduate student in her lab, looked at data from 467 people -- 269 women, 198 men -- who participated in one of five studies. Participants wore a portable listening device. The findings showed that about 14 per cent of participants’ conversations were gossip, for just under an hour in 16 waking hours.

lcohol consumption in India increased from 4.3 liters a year per adult to 5.9 liters in 2017, a growth of 38 per cent, says a study of 189 countries’ alcohol intake. Driven by the rise in alcohol intake in India, China and Vietnam, global alcohol consumption increased from 5.9 liters a year per adult in 1990, to 6.5 liters in 2017, and is predicted to increase further to 7.6 liters by 2030, showed the results published in The Lancet. As a result of increased alcohol consumption and population growth, the total volume of alcohol consumed globally per year has increased by 70 per cent -- from 20,999 million liters in 1990 to 35,676 million liters in 2017. The estimates suggest that by 2030 half of all adults will drink alcohol, and almost a quarter (23

Manthey from Technische Universitat Dresden in Germany. “However, this pattern has changed substantially, with large reductions across Eastern Europe and vast increases in several middle-income countries such as China, India and Vietnam,” Manthey added.

More protein, less carbs key to safe weight loss IANS, NEW YORK

NEW YORK: Active, middle-aged men who can complete more than 40 push-ups at a time had a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes compared to those who did less than 10 push-ups, says a new study. The study, published in JAMA Network Open, showed that men who are able to do more than 40 push-ups had a 96 per cent reduced risk of CVD events compared with those who were able to do less than 10 push-ups. In addition, push-up capacity was more strongly associated with lower incidence of cardiovascular disease events than was aerobic capacity as estimated by a submaximal treadmill exercise test. For the study, the researchers from Harvard University analysed health data from 1,104 active male firefighters whose mean age was 39.6. During the 10-year study period, 37 CVD-related outcomes were reported. “Our findings provide evidence that push-up capacity could be an easy, no-cost method to help assess cardiovascular disease risk in almost any setting,” said lead author Justin Yang at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in the US. The results are not generalizable to women, men of other ages or who are less active, the researchers noted. —IANS

high-protein and low-calorie diet helps older adults with obesity lose more weight, maintain more muscle mass, improve bone quality and shed “bad” fat, say researchers. Doctors have long struggled with how to recommend safe weight loss for seniors, because dropping pounds can lead to muscle and bone loss. “Doctors hesitate to recommend weight loss for fear that losing muscle and bone could cause mobility issues or increase the risk of injury,” said Kristen Beavers, Assistant Professor at the Wake Forest University in the US. “This study suggests that a diet

high in protein and low in calories can give seniors the health benefits of weight loss while keeping the muscle and bone they need for bet-

ter quality of life as they age,” added Beavers. The study was done on nearly 100 adults aged above 65.

The findings, published in the Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, showed that participants lost about 18 pounds, most of it fat (87 per cent), and preserved muscle mass whereas the control group lost about half a pound. Participants could maintain bone mass even when they lost weight. In fact, trabecular bone score - a measure of bone quality that predicts fracture risk - seemed to improve. Further, fat was lost in the stomach, hips, thighs and rear, which is important for preventing or controlling cardiometabolic diseases such as diabetes and stroke. Participants’ score on the Healthy Aging Index, which measures biomarkers that predict mortality and longevity, improved.

Man’s porn habits may affect partner’s health IANS, NEW YORK

omen, take note! If your man is obsessed with watching pornography then there are high chances that you may suffer from an eating disorder, a new study suggests. The study reports that a romantic partner’s behavior might be linked to the likelihood of a woman experiencing or engaging in such things as extreme guilt about eating, preoccupation with body fat, binging or purging. The researchers also found a higher incidence of those symptoms in women who said they feel pressure from their boyfriends or

husbands to be thin. “The relationship between partner pornography use and disordered eating was stronger for this group of women than for college women we’ve previously studied,” said co-author Tracy Tylka, Professor at The Ohio State University. “That could be because these women have had more relationship experiences, and these experiences have shaped their relationships with food and their perceptions of their bodies,” Tylka added. For the study, published in International Journal of Eating Disorders, the research team involved 409 women in relationships with men.

The participants answered a questionnaire designed to identify symptoms of eating disorders and answered questions about perceived pressure from the media and others (partners, friends and family) to lose weight and have a thin body. They also reported how

many hours of pornography their current partner viewed per week. The researchers analyzed relationships between those responses and found a clear association between eating disorder symptoms and both perceived partner pressure to be thin and porn use.

smoking. Every year, more people globally die from air pollution related diseases than from road traffic injuries or malaria. Overall, long-term exposure to outdoor and indoor air pollution contributed to nearly five million

deaths from stroke, diabetes, heart attack, lung cancer and chronic lung disease in 2017. Out of these, three million deaths are directly attributed to PM2.5, half of which are generated from India and China together. The report found China and India together were responsible for over half of the total global attributable deaths, with each country facing over 1.2 million deaths from air pollution in 2017. China has made initial progress, beginning to achieve air pollution declines. For the first time, 2019’s report includes worldwide estimates of the effect of air pollution on how long people live, or life expectancy. Worldwide, air pollution reduced life expectancy by an average 20 months in 2017, a global impact rivalling that of smoking; this means a child born today will die 20 months sooner, on average, than would be expected without air pollution. The report noted that a total of 3.6 billion people (approx.) were exposed to household air pollution in 2017.

Asia Society Names Discover, BuzzFeed, and KPMG as the Best Employers for Asian Pacific Americans in 2019 BY STAFF WRITER NEW YORK, NY — Asia Society has named Discover Financial Services, Inc. as the “Overall Best Employer” for their efforts in promoting and developing Asian Pacific American (APA) talent, with recognition for “distinguished performance” given to the leading independent digital media company BuzzFeed and professional services firm KPMG LLP. Asia Society will present the awards to all the winning employers on May 15 in New York City at the 2019 Best Companies for Asian Pacific Americans Awards Ceremony and Dinner, held in conjunction with Asia Society’s 2019 Diversity & Marketing Leadership Summit. Previously known as the Diversity Leadership Forum (DLF), the Summit has expanded to a two-day conference that looks at unleashing innovation and capturing market opportunities through powering Asian talent, consumers, and investors in the US and Asia. The “Overall Best Employer for Asian Pacific Americans” award recognizes companies that exhibit excellence in all of the other award areas. “At Discover, we are passionate about fostering a collaborative and high-performing work environment for all our employees, and believe diversity and inclusion leads to stronger innovation, growth, and success,” said Sara Breyfogle, Both BuzzFeed

and KPMG are once again recognized this year. Having only joined the survey last year, BuzzFeed is again commended for their work, especially for promoting APAs into leadership positions. Meanwhile, KPMG is also named the best employer for sponsorship and the development of workforce skills for Asian Pacific Americans. KPMG has been recognized as an award winner in each of the last eight years. “At KPMG, diversity and inclusion are core values as we recognize that all of our people’s backgrounds and experiences help our organization grow, thrive and drive innovative outcomes, ” said Michele MeyerShipp, As part of BuzzFeed’s efforts to support APAs in leadership positions and enrich the overall employee experience for APAs, BuzzFeed’s Asian-affinity ERG, A*FAMILY, hosts professional development series for its members. Dao Nguyen, BuzzFeed’s Publisher and executive sponsor of A*FAMILY, says the ERG also offers programming that extends beyond BuzzFeed and incorporates the larger APA community. “We’ve highlighted

prominent Asian talent by inviting guest speakers to BuzzFeed, celebrate key cultural moments like Diwali, and supported both local initiatives and international fundraisers. Our diverse programming gives APA employees a ton of opportunities to engage with our cultures and foster community at BuzzFeed,” said Nguyen. AT&T and PepsiCo were noted for demonstrating innovative practices in a new category that was added to the awards process this year: Best Company Marketing to Asian Pacific American Consumers and Investors. Below is the full list of 2019 Best Companies for Asian Pacific Americans award winners. Overall Best Employer for Asian Pacific Americans Winner: Discover Distinguished Performance: BuzzFeed, KPMG.

UMass Grad Indian American Student Killed After being Hit by Vehicle

Jaskaran Singh

BY A STAFF WRITER GRAYSLAKE, IL- The teachers of Lake High School, Lake Villa, IL, planned their students ‘visits in two large groups of 80 students in each group to the Hindu Mandir of Lake County, Grayslake, IL on Tuesday, April 16, 2019 morning. Teachers thought that a visit to a Hindu Mandir is an ideal way to learn about Hinduism and get a firsthand experience of the Hindu faith in practice. Hindu Mandir of Lake County always welcomes non-Hindu visitors, tour groups from other states as well as local churches and book clubs including school and college student groups from the surrounding areas. A dedicated and very popular founding member and former president of the temple, Dr. Harsh Kumar coordinated

the program and welcomed the groups warmly to temple and said we are happy to let anyone interested to “see what our culture and religion are about.” In the temple’s auditorium, Shri. Anand Upadhyay greeted all the students and provided them with an interesting and impressive learning method about the world’s oldest living faith “Sanathan Dharma” from an interactive presentation. He talked to them about Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Yoga, Indian festivals, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and Ahimsa principles. He explained to the how the qualities of sattva (serenity), rajas (passion), and tamas (ignorance) shape the nature of a person. He also described to students the Hindu belief in mastering control of one’s senses and desires and of peacefully accepting the good and the bad

of life. He answered very clearly all their questions. All the Students removed their shoes like Hindus before entering the main prayer hall with the sanctums and quietly moved in. These students were welcomed with a Hindu greeting and a smile by the temple priest, Shree Yogesh Pandey in the shrine area. All the students and teachers witnessed and participated in the midday Mangalarati ceremony. Pt. Joshi Ji blessed them by chanting Vedic Mantra for their success in studies, bright future, and happy and healthy lives. All the students as well as teachers fond their trip to the Mandir to be educational, inspiring and enjoyable. One of the teachers said that the most striking Hindu site locally available is surely this temple.

FRIDAY,10 MAY, 2019

Mayor Steve Chirico Upbeat about Naperville’s “robust” Economy and High Living Standards BY MAYANK CHHAYA NAPERVILLE, IL- Fresh into his new term as the mayor of Naperville, the largest local economy outside Chicago, Steve Chirico has spring in his steps. “Naperville’s economy is robust, jobs are plentiful and commercial building vacancy is down,” Chirico told Hi India in an interview at his well-appointed but understated office. Mayor Chirico’s enthusiasm comes in the midst of a new study that says Naperville is number one city in Illinois and sixth in the country in terms of home ownership. The study by Insurify, a website that provides online insurance quotes, says home ownership in Naperville is 74.2 percent with an average household income of $116,482. Those statistics put Naperville behind Centennial, Colorado, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Pearland, Texas, Palm Bay, Florida, and West Jordan, Utah. A striking feature about the study is that Naperville tops nationwide in this study of cities with a population of more than 100,000 in terms of the average household income. With its excellent public education, libraries and hospitals coupled with neighborhood safety Naperville remains a highly attractive destination for new residents. However, Chirico pointed out that the city has “already reached its borders” in terms of its population spread. “We are currently about 148,000 residents in Naperville, and we will probably top out between 150,000 and 152,000,” he said. That would mean at some point, fewer homes will be available and prices of homes could go up. Asian Americans, including Indian Americans account for a little less than 13 percent of Naperville’s population. Of the little more than 26,000 Asian Americans, Indian Americans constitute a substantial number touching perhaps upward of 10,000. More often than not, Indian Americans are drawn to Naperville mainly because

Mayor Steve Chirico

of its excellent public-school system in school districts 203 and 204. Chirico said that Naperville is an ageing community where seniors are paying into its public education system. That is because their children have grown up and by continuing to live here and paying their taxes, they help civic services such as public schools. He also pointed out that one of the reasons seniors find Naperville attractive is because of its efficient healthcare. “Asian Americans are a vibrant community in Naperville who contribute to the vitality of our city,” Chirico said. However, he expressed concern that “Civic engagement among Asian Americans is a challenge.” “Members of the community do not get easily involved in city affairs even though it is essential they do because the city’s policies affect everyone equally,” he said. He also said that the various boards of the city do not represent its demographics. “One of my first tasks is to appoint members of various communities to the boards that accurately reflect who we are as a city,” he said. He said part of the reason the board memberships seem lopsided is because oftentimes members of Asian American community do not volunteer. In that context, he made an important sociocultural point, saying, “We are only once incident away from having a problem. Say for instance, the police shoot and kill a member of the minority community

as a last resort and we do not have adequate outreach into various communities through these boards, then we have a fundamental problem. We have to ensure that the city is sensitive to this concern because our much-admired neighborhood safety can be quickly undermined by this.” Asked why he thought Indian Americans and Asian Americans do not get involved in civic affairs more vigorously, he said, “Maybe it has to do with the expectations that the people of have of the government in India and elsewhere. It is a different relationship here in America compared to elsewhere.” There have been barely 12 or 13 board members of Indian origin in the first four years of his term, he said, adding that as he begins his next four years, he wants to increase that number significantly. Even as he goes about increasing diversity of various boards, Mayor Chirico says he is pleased with the economic profile of the city. He particularly mentions the large presence now of the leading Indian Grocery chain, Patel Bros. He recalls how during the India Day Parade in 2016 he connected with Rakesh Patel of Patel Bros. and assured him Naperville would do “everything to make their entry here seamless.” Now that the store is here on Ogden Avenue that part of Naperville has become a thriving Indian American hub. Although Chirico said Naperville is happy with big sized stores, it pays equal attention to “mom and pop” establishments because they are vital to the economic stability of various neighborhoods. “Commercial building vacancy in Naperville has gone down from 14 percent to 10 percent,” Chirico said. He said once it reaches seven percent, it would be considered effectively full.

BY A STAFF WRITER CHICAGO,IL- Chicago Telangana Association(CHITA) wants to encourage the community by giving a platform to the people from the region to propagate the culture to the next generations. CHITA wanted to preserve the culture by showcasing it and bringing people together to resonate it. CHITA has been Phenomenal in doing this for about 15 years by organizing a Telangana cultural festival event celebrating our Telangana culture and the people from Telangana. This year is no different for CHITA, they were phenomenal in organizing the event and entertaining the Telangana crowd in Chicago area land. The cultural festival was organized in Plainfield, Illinois at Plainfield North high school on Saturday, April 27th, 2019. General secretory of the organization, Mrs. Neelima Katakam, welcomed all the audience to the show and gave an overview of the fun filled programs in the event. She was the one who coordinated the cultural programs and has been a main pillar of the event to bring the best of the show to the audience. Over 800 people in Chicago who are hailed from Telangana region gathered together dressing up in a colorful traditional attire. Over 150 kids and adults dazzled in about 40 performances including dances, performances, singing, fashion

show, Telangana slang skit etc. This time the next generation Indian Americans teenagers were a jewel in the crown of the show. One of the notable highlights of the show was a mother - daughter relationship depicting performance which is no less than a Broadway musical show. Hon’ble Consul General of India, Chicago, Shri Sudhakar Dalela was the chief guest for the event and he took time to make his presence at the event and addressed the crowd. He appreciated efforts of the people for celebrating our culture in the United States of America. CHITA Board member, Mr. Purna Allamneni addressed all the audience and educated the new CHITA family members about the organization and the charity events that the organization is doing back in the region. CHITA President, Mr. Manoj Kondam talked about the event and gave his vote of thanks to all the sponsors, volunteers who worked tirelessly for this event. Vice president of the organization, Vittal Erraveli, introduced the committee behind the event to the crowd and appreciated the efforts of the people who ran the show. At the end of the event all the stars of the show, 163 participants took on the stage with their appreciation trophies. It was just not a house full show, it’s appropriate to say it was even a stage full participants show.
