Kunal, one of Shashi’s three children — others being son Karan and daughter Sanjana — shared that it is a proud moment. “I’m very proud and thankful to the government for recognizing his work. This is the third award in our family. I am very thankful and extremely happy,” Kunal told IANS. Minister for Information and Broadcasting Arun Jaitley also conveyed his congratulations on the occasion, while Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, congratulating Shashi Kapoor on the award, said in a tweet that “his sensitive portrayal of human emotions has touched many a heart”. Present-day filmmakers Prakash Jha and Madhur Bhandarkar also lauded the government’s decision to

honor Kapoor. “TRULY DELIGHTED that one of my favorite actors, the legendary Shashi Kapoorji has been honored with Dadasaheb Phalke Award! Many congrats,” Bhandarkar tweeted. Jha posted: “True recognition #DadaSahebPhalke to a brilliant actor and passionate producer, who gave so much to Cinema! Love you Shashi Kapoor Sir.” Together with his elder brothers, the late Raj and Shammi Kapoor, Shashi formed the Kapoor trinity, who took the film industry by storm. Shashi began his tryst with acting at the age of four, with plays directed and produced by his father Prithviraj Kapoor. He started acting in films as a child in the late 1940s. His best known performances as child artist were in Aag (1948) and Awaara (1951).

Haider, based on William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, was set against the backdrop of insurgency of Kashmir. He was blamed for showing only one side of the Valley, but he has defended himself by saying that he removed the representation of Kashmiri Pandits in the film as he felt the tragedy was too big to be summed up in a minor piece. “I dedicate my (all five National) awards to them (Kashmiri Pandits) because I feel their tragedy was very big and a complete film should have been made on them.

Obama vows L-1B visa reforms The move will benefit hundreds of thousands of non-immigrant workers and their employers that, in turn, will benefit the entire economy and spur additional investment, says the President IANS, WASHINGTON

Denial of L-1B visa highest for Indians

eclaring that “America is proudly open for business”, President Barack has announced plans to reform the L-1B visa category to allow global corporations to temporarily move workers to the US in a faster, simpler way. “And this could benefit hundreds of thousands of non-immigrant workers and their employers; that, in turn, will benefit our entire economy and spur additional investment,” he said addressing the second SelectUSA Investment Summit here. “So the bottom line is this: America is proudly open for business, and we want to make it as simple and as attractive for you to set up shop here as is possible,” said Obama. “That is what this summit is all about.” “The fact is there’s never been a more exciting time for us to do business together,” he said. “The companies that invest in America have access to the largest market in the world -- and it’s a market that is strong and stable, and growing.” More than 2,600 people-including 1,300 companies from more than 70 countries including India and over 500 US economic development officials from across the country-are attending the summit launched in 2011.

According to the White House the Department of Homeland Security will clarify guidelines for global companies seeking to staff new and expanding US operations with specialized knowledge related to their company or industry without impacting job opportunities for US workers. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in collaboration with SelectUSA released the second edition of ‘US Business and Investment Climate Report’ at the summit. A media release said the report has been created “to serve as a ready reference guide to not just Indian

US promises financial aid for Afghanistan WASHINGTON: The U.S. has promised to finance a large contingent of Afghan security forces at least until 2017 and provide up to $800 million to foster economic development in the country in its post-war scenario. A day before his meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani held talks with Secretary of State John Kerry and Pentagon head Ashton Carter, together with Afghanistan Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah on March 23. At a press conference at the presidential retreat in Camp David, the four officials underlined the strength of the bilateral strategic partnership despite nearly 14 years of war and tensions during the final phase of former president Hamid Karzai’s government. Ghani’s first official trip to the US, after becoming president in September, began with a visit to the Pentagon where he expressed his gratitude for the “sacrifice” of American soldiers in Afghanistan since 2001 when they toppled the Taliban regime. Ghani thanked the soldiers “on behalf of a grateful nation to people in

companies but to all those looking to expand their business in the US or enter the US as an investment destination.” Providing a state-bystate view of the US, the report highlights the ‘Top 10 reasons to Invest ‘ as offered by all 50 US states and the US territories to businesses. In addition, the report outlines the core and upcoming sectors of strength and growth in each state/territory, as well as some of the major tax and financial incentives being offered to attract and retain businesses. In his foreword to the report, CII Director General Chandrajit Banerjee said “the US-India

NEW DELHI: Even as President Barack Obama announced that he would reform the L-1B visa regime that allows global companies to temporarily shift their workers to the U.S., a study released last week finds that Indians faced the maximum rejections under this category. “The denial rate for L-1B petitions to transfer employees of Indian origin is a remarkable 56 percent for 2012 through 2014, compared to an average denial rate of 13 percent to transfer employees from all other countries during the period,” says the study by a U.S. think tank. “Only four percent of Canadian nationals were denied L-1B petitions, compared to 56 percent of Indian nationals, between 2012 and 2014,”

says the study by the National Foundation for American Society, nonprofit public policy research organization on trade and immigration issues. Indian nationals, the study says, had filed the most number of petitions under the L-1B regime at 25,296 petitions, followed by Canadians with 10,692 petitions. The denial rate was 16 percent for Britishers for 2,577 petitions, and 22 percent for Chinese for 1,570 petitions. “The data reveal the problem with denials centers primarily on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services denying petitions for employees being transferred into the United States from India. “The numbers are stark,” says the study.

trade and commercial relationship has grown by leaps and bounds with bilateral trade touching nearly $100 billion.” At the same time, the investment story too remains strong with the US ranked as the sixth largest source of FDI into India, while India has also emerged as one of the fastest growing sources of FDI into the United States, he noted. CII’s own studies have found that Indian companies have invested in a

range of sectors in the US including in technology, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, iron and steel, mining, energy, manufacturing, financial services etc, he said. Indian companies have made their mark through greenfield and brownfield investments, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and other business collaborations with US companies, Banerjee noted.

said. According to an official statement put out after the call, the president also emphasized during their conversation the U.S’s “longstanding commitment to a twostate solution”. Earlier, Netanyahu walked back his disavowal of a two-state solution, a position he endorsed in an effort to appeal to right wing voters with polls showing him facing tough competition. U.S. officials had already said that they have been waiting to see if Netanyahu would stand behind the campaign comments nixing a Palestinian state as he moves toward forming a governing coalition. It

took two days for Netanyahu’s about-face. “I don’t want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful twostate solution,” Netanyahu said in an interview with NBC. “I haven’t changed my policy.” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, speaking before the call, had stopped short of saying that the U.S. reassessment would include offering support for a UN resolution calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state. The resolution is opposed by Jerusalem, but U.S. officials have floated it as a possibility in the wake of Netanyahu’s remarks.

this building and the larger US community for sacrificing continuously since September 11 to bring us freedom and hope”. The Afghan president lived in Washington for a decade and worked at the World Bank until the fall of the Taliban regime. During his day-long talks with Kerry and Carter, Ghani obtained the US government’s commitment to ask the Congress for funds to support a 352,000 security personnel in Afghanistan until at least 2017. Kerry also announced an endowment of up to $800 million in U.S. aid for a revitalized partnership focused “to encourage and measure Afghan-led reform and development activities”.

he U.S. will “reassess” aspects of its relationship with Israel after Benjamin Netanyahu’s provocative statements leading up to the Israeli elections, President Barack Obama told the Israeli prime minister during a phone call. The phone call was officially described as a message of congratulations on Netanyahu’s victory, but it also carried a serious warning after the prime minister — during the last days of his campaign — opposed the creation of a Palestinian state, CNN reported. “The president told the prime minister that we would need to reassess our options following the prime minister’s new positions and comments regarding the two state solution,” a White House official

SC quashes Section 66A Expressions used in Section 66A ‘completely open-ended and undefined’, the apex court observes

Govt lauds SC ruling, Twitter ‘very excited’

IANS, NEW DELHI

he Supreme Court, which on March 24 struck down Section 66 A of the Information Technology Act, said expressions such as “grossly offensive” or “menacing” in it were vague and nebulous in meaning, and there were no manageable standards by which a person can be held to have committed an offense. “Quite apart from this, as has been pointed out above, every expression used is nebulous in meaning. What may be offensive to one may not be offensive to another. What may cause annoyance or inconvenience to one may not cause annoyance or inconvenience to another,” said a bench of Justice J. Chelameswar and Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman in their judgment. The court said that use of word “persistently” for repeated sending of message is “completely imprecise”, and wondered what would constitute “persistently” - sending

IN BRIEF V.K. Singh tweets cause furore

NEW DELHI: Facing flak over his tweets after attending the Pakistan Day function, Minister of State for External Affairs V.K. Singh said the messages were directed at sections of the media which misinterpreted his presence at the event. V.K. Singh had on March 23 evening attended the Pakistan Day function, which was also attended by separatist leaders Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Omar Farooq and Yasin Malik.

The manipulation in selection process for government jobs, conducted by Vyapam, is being probed by a Special Investigation Team (SIT).

a message three times or eight times before it could be described as persistent. “There is no demarcating line conveyed by any of these expressions — and that is what renders the section unconstitutionally vague,” the verdict said. Not accepting the government’s contention that expressions used in the section could be incapable of

any precise definition but not constitutionally vulnerable due to this, the court noted the two opposing conclusions that could be reached in dealing with vague and nebulous expressions, citing two British judgments where on the same facts, judges arrived at opposite decisions. “If judicially trained minds can come to diametrically opposite

conclusions on the same set of facts, it is obvious that expressions such as ‘grossly offensive’ or ‘menacing’ are so vague that there is no manageable standard by which a person can be said to have committed an offense or not to have committed an offense,” it held, terming the expressions used in Section 66A “completely openended and undefined”.

The government is committed to free speech. India is a democratic country and free flow of ideas should be respected. We do not seek to curtail any right,” Prasad said. Meanwhile, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, who is on his first India visit, said Twitter will ensure that its users’ “voices” are defended, while making it harder for any “abuse” to take place.

External affairs ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin tweeted: “Opening new doors for investment.

Similarly Qatari citizens convicted in India can be sent to their home country to serve their sentence. This agreement would enable the sentenced persons to be near their families and would help in the process of their social rehabilitation, said an official statement.

Mars Orbiter mission extended for another six months FAKIR BALAJI, BENGALURU

ndia’s maiden Mars Orbiter mission has been extended for another six months to further explore the Red Planet and its atmosphere, a senior official said here. “As the 1,340 kg Mars Orbiter has sufficient fuel (37 kg) to last longer than it was intended earlier, its mission has been extended for another six months,” a senior official of the Indian space agency told

IANS. The historic mission has completed six months of orbiting the Red Planet. India created history by becoming the first country to enter Mars orbit in maiden attempt on September 24, 2014 after a nine-month voyage through the inter-planetary space from Earth. The $70 million ambitious Mars mission was launched on November 5, 2013 on board a polar rocket from spaceport Sriharikota.

Land ordinance set to lapse? Facing widespread protests and a logjam in Parliament, the NDA government is going slow on the contentious land acquisition bill ANJALI OJHA, NEW DELHI

acing a road block in parliament and widespread protests, the government has now decided to go slow on the contentious land acquisition bill and may let the ordinance promulgated on the issue lapse. Knowledgeable sources said the government is unlikely to discontinue either of the houses in the middle of the session, a constitutional necessity if the ordinance has to be reissued. “We are not looking for proroguing either of the houses,” a senior minister told IANS. As per Article 123 of the constitution, an ordinance may be promulgated only in the intersession period and it lapses six weeks after a parliament session begins. If either of the houses is not in session, an ordinance can be brought, but not in a session break. The government, unable to pass in the Rajya Sabha the bill to replace the ordinance, had initially thought of proroguing one of the houses to reissue the measure. Proroguing a house means the budget session would end for that house and it

would meet for a fresh session after the break. The Rajya Sabha, which has no role in passing money bills, was the one whose session was likely to end. However, officials from the upper house said there is no such direction or indication so far. The government now appears to be trying to find a middle way. “Proroguing the house and reissuing the ordinance could damage the government’s image further,” a

senior BJP leader, speaking on condition of anonymity, told IANS, adding that a final decision on the fate of the bill is yet to be taken. “With the session on, the ordinance in all likeliness may lapse, until some other way is found,” the BJP leader said. Former Lok Sabha secretary general Subhash C. Kashyap, however, said that without proroguing one of the houses, the ordinance cannot be reissued during the break.

“The break period is a part of the session, so an ordinance cannot be re-promulgated in this period. If one of the houses is not prorogued, the government will have to wait till the end of session to re-promulgate the ordinance,” Kashyap told IANS, adding that there is “no precedent” for this. Another way would be that the ordinance can be re-promulgated after the session in “retrospect”, or from a back date.

paranthe paired with peanut raita. To conclude the feast, there is kalakand kulfi sundae or mewe lauki aur makhane ki kheer. But what’s more interesting is an Indo-Italian feast being offered by Storm Bar and Grill at East of Kailash. Offerings like sabudana pizza, saanwak biryani, banana tikki and more will be served up to ensure that those who are fasting go on feasting! There’s also The Ancient Barbeque (TAB), which has outlets in Gurgaon and Noida, giving a Navratri twist to paneer malai tikka, tawa fruit chat, kache kele ke pakore, aloo jeera, sabudane ki

kheer, fresh fruit, ice cream and cholai ke ladoo. “We do not have out-of-the-box special dishes but we assure you that by indulging in our mouthwatering options available in starters, main course and desserts, one can definitely enjoy the festival in its true sense,” TAB executive chef and owner Dharmendra Singh told IANS. Though most family restaurants don’t have much to complain during Navratris, it’s the pubs and bars that suffer a dip in sales as most customers abstain from alcohol over the nine days. However, some restaurateurs feel that the liberal

“The government can wait till the session ends and bring the ordinance in retrospect,” he said. This, he said, will maintain the continuity of the law. The third option would be getting the bill passed like regular legislation, an option which the government is also considering. The government’s cautious approach was also reflected when Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu, in a press conference on the last day of the first half of the session, said the bill is not a “prestige issue” for the government. Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said the government will hold consultations with different parties and find a way out. “We are talking to different parties, all channels are open,” Naqvi told IANS, adding: “The government will find a way out.” The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2015, seeks to replace an ordinance promulgated last December which had amended certain provisions of the 2013 land act passed during the previous UPA rule.

et set for gastronomical adventures galore with the onset of Navratri. Various restaurants across Delhi-NCR are ready with revamped menus to cater to the appetite of food patrons during the nine-day Navratri festival. Hotels and restaurants have redesigned menus to cater to people who would be following a strict food regimen, which includes avoiding onion, garlic, rice, wheat, meat, iodized salt and alcohol. Masala Art, a restaurant at the high-end Taj Palace, is offering ‘Temple Cuisines of India’ — a vegetarian menu with dishes that have been inspired from the temples across the four corners of the country — throughout the nine days of the Navratri festival.

Vegetarian food chains like Evergreen, Bikanervala and Haldiram’s are also offering sumptuous food chaats and thalis during the fest. The special Navratri thali includes samak rice, kuttu ki puri, sitaphal ki sabzi and mixed fruits. The Suryaa Hotel here too has come up with interesting items for its fasting patrons.

Obama praises

Indian-American kids

Several Indian-Americans among over 100 students from across the country who showcased their innovative science projects at the 5th White House Science Fair ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON

resident Barack Obama praised the work of young Indian-Americans as he exhorted budding American scientists to “keep exploring...keep dreaming” and use the power of their ideas to change the world. “Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know,” he said as he welcomed young scientists and engineers from across the country to showcase their inventions, robots, and discoveries at the 2015 White House Science Fair this week. “Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world,” said Obama after personally viewing 12 of the exhibits by more than 100 students from 30 states. “So Nikhil Behari is here from Pennsylvania,” he said calling out the winner of a second place award in Technology at the 2014 Broadcom MASTERS national finals. “He’s a freshman, right? — in high school, interested in how we can better protect ourselves against hackers and data thieves online. So scientists are already using biometrics to prove that each of us walk in our own distinct ways. “And Nikhil wondered, what if we each type in a distinct ways? So he collected all kinds of data about how a person types — their speed, how often they pause, how much pressure they use; built a special keyboard to test it. “And he proved that his hypoth-

BRIEFS Top NSA lawyer returns to pvt practice WASHINGTON: Indian-American Rajesh “Raj” De has left his post as the top lawyer at the National Security Agency (NSA) to return to private practice as partner at the Washington law firm of Mayer Brown. De, who left the spy agency will rejoin the firm as a partner and head of a 35-lawyer practice in June, the Hill, a news site focusing on the US Congress reported. He first made partner at Mayer Brown in 2007, before leaving for a string of government posts.

esis was correct — that even if somebody knows your password, they don’t necessarily punch it in exactly the way you do. “And he asked why — and made discoveries that now could help keep our online accounts more secure. “So in the future, if keystrokebased authentication keeps your siblings from breaking into your Facebook account or your Instagram account, you will know who to thank,” Obama said amid laughter. “It will be Nikhil. Congratulations,” he added amid applause. Ruchi Pandya, 18, from San Jose, California, he noted “found a way to use a single drop of blood to test a person’s heart function,

much like a person with diabetes tests their blood sugar.” And “Anvita Gupta -- where’s Anvita? There she is,” Obama said amid applause, “used artificial intelligence and biochemistry to identify potential treatments for cancer, tuberculosis, Ebola.” “But Anvita’s algorithm has the potential of speeding up pathways to discovering what drugs would work on what diseases, and is consistent with some of the work that we announced around precision medicine that we are funding at a significant pace here at the White House,” he said. Obama pointed out that “like several of the young people here, Anvita and Ruchi are first-generation Americans.”

“Their parents came here, in part, so their kids could develop their talents and make a difference in the world. And we’re really glad they did,” he said. Earlier checking out the inventions in the State Dining Room, the Red Room and the Blue Room, Obama walked around to each table, chatted with the young inventors about their inventions, and posed for photos. When Anvita Gupta, 17, of Scottsdale, Arizona, explained how she had used an algorithm to help identify possible new drugs to treat Ebola, cancer and tuberculosis, Obama turned to the reporters, grinned and said, “I don’t know what you all have been doing. But this is what she has been doing.”

Airbus crashes in Alps; 150 feared dead

n Airbus A320 of a German budget airline with 150 people on board crashed on March 24 in southern France while flying from Barcelona to Dusseldorf. French President Francois Hollande said no survivors are expected. Confirming on March 24 that its flight 4U9525 met with an accident over the French Alps, Germanwings put the toll at 150.

Singapore’s founder Lee Kuan Yew dead IANS, SINGAPORE

L WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama has said that “it’s hard to envision” the creation of a Palestinian state after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks rejecting the idea, and that the possibilities of a lasting peace right now are “very dim”. “There still does not appear to be a prospect of a meaningful framework established that would lead to a Palestinian state,” Obama said on March 24 at a press conference together with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani. Obama recalled that, on the eve of the Israeli elections last March 17, Netanyahu said about the creation of an independent Palestinian state “on my watch this is not going to happen.” “I took him at his word that that’s what he meant and I think that a lot of voters inside of Israel understood him to be saying that unequivocally,” the U.S. president said. Two days later, Netanyahu backtracked and said he did indeed want a two-state solution, but that “under the present circumstances, today, it is unachievable.”

national mourning. His body would be kept at Parliament House from March 25 to March 28 for people to pay homage. A state funeral would be held on March 29. President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi led India in mourning Lee, who from being a sharp critic of India became one of its strongest admirers towards later years. Expressing “heartfelt condolences” on Lee’s death, Mukherjee said: “Asia will mourn the loss of a towering leader.” Modi described him as a “far-sighted statesman” and a “lion among leaders”.

Islamic State emergence in Libya threatens Europe IANS, LONDON

he worsening security situation in Libya has enabled the Islamic State (IS) terrorists to set up shop there, and illegal migration from the country could help the IS stage attacks in Europe, British legislators have warned. The British House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee said on Tuesday that Libya’s collapse since the overthrow of its former ruler Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 has turned it into a potential security threat to Britain. “The fact that (IS) appears to have taken advantage of the chaos in Libya to establish itself there is a

security concern reaching beyond Libya, and is further motivation for the international community to provide assistance,” the committee

said. “Illegal migration through and from Libya is undoubtedly a major concern, not least because of a potential security threat from ter-

rorists who could use this means to travel to Europe to conduct attacks.” The International Development Committee, on the other hand, said that youth unemployment in developing countries might cause unrest contributing to a rise in extremism. The British foreign office said that it was working closely with allied countries and the UN to “help deliver a lasting political settlement that will bring an end to the violence” in Libya. Numerous militias govern their own patches of territory in Libya, with successive governments struggling to exercise control.

Style factor in ‘Jil’ will make it stand out: Director

Wamiqa is Geethanjali Selvaraghavan’s heroine

Gopichand loses weight, gets a stylish makeover as he plays a disciplined fireman in the film; features a few well-shot fire sequences; film’s songs shot in spain IANS, CHENNAI

he style factor in Gopichand-starrer Telugu actioner Jil will differentiate it from the actor’s earlier outings, says its director Radha Krishna, who adds he couldn’t have pulled off the project without the support of his hero. “Gopichand has been given a stylish makeover, but it wasn’t done intentionally. He plays a fireman, and the script demanded him to be disciplined and well-groomed. The style factor will make Jil stand out from his earlier films,” Radha said. “We did some research on firemen, and accordingly designed Gopi’s character based on inputs from a few friends in the fire department. We tested a lot of looks on him and I need to thank him for being extremely cooperative,” he said.

Radha adds that the “subtlety” with which his hero has acted has worked in favor of the film. Gopichand also lost weight to look fit in the titular character. The film also features a few wellshot fire sequences. Gopichand had given his nod to the project while working on 2013

Telugu adventure film Saahasam. “I was working as an assistant director on ‘Saahasam’, for which I had also penned the story. It was on the sets of this film, I pitched the story of Jil, and he instantly agreed to be part of it. He also put me on to the producers, UV Creations,” he said.

I’m a great fan of her work and I fancy myself as other Simran,” Manisha said in a statement. Manisha plays one of the leads in the film, which features composerturned-actor G.V Prakash Kumar as

CHENNAI: Debutante Wamiqa Gabbi has been chosen as the female lead in Geethanjali Selvaraghavan’s Tamil directorial debut Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam, which is currently on the floors and is nearing completion. “I’m not allowed to talk much about my role. But I’m playing a character that’s unlike the chirpy roles I’ve essayed in my Punjabi films. “I have so much to perform and I couldn’t have asked for a better role to launch my career in Tamil,” Wamiqa, who has also featured in Hindi film Sixteen, said. With nearly 90 percent of the film already shot, Wamiqa feels “she has grown as an actor”. A day after Wamiqa was confirmed, she started shooting for it. “Everything happened so quickly. I was on the sets, and it was here I learnt about Selva sir’s association with the project. This was his script.”

the male lead. “I’ve already shot for three days. I’m excited about the script and working with Prakash has been so much fun. He’s a through professional.”

‘Uttama Villain the story of an actor’ CHENNAI: Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan says that his upcoming Tamil movie “Uttama Villain”, in which he plays a superstar and an eighth century theatre artiste, is the story of an actor. He also clarified that it isn't a “satire on the film industry”. “It's the story of an actor; a superstar with and without a mask. All those who have asked me whether this is the story of my life, I'd like say all my stories have some part of me,” Kamal told IANS. Directed by actor Ramesh Arvind, the film features Haasan's mentor and late legendary filmmaker K. Balachander (KB) in an important role.

Director Radha considers Gopi as his “big brother”. “He supported right till the end. The fact that he helped me find a producer showed how much he cared about the project. I should also thank my producers. They’re very passionate and once you convince them with an idea, they’ll invest whatever it takes to make the film,” he added. The film, which releases in cinemas on Friday, also features Raashi Khanna in the lead. Explaining the title Jil, the director said: “It’s a hair-raising moment. It’s like a current jolt; something that could be positive as well as negative. To be precise, it’s the extreme expression of a feeling.” Shot predominantly in Hyderabad and Mumbai, the team shot the songs in Spain. The film will introduce a Mumbai-based villain called Kabir.

“I've always wished to work with him (KB). For many years, he dodged opportunities to act but this time around, I finally managed to convince him. He plays a very important role of a director called Margadarshi,” Kamal said, and added that Balachander is the common thread between the two stories in the movie. Kamal said Balachander was reluctant to be part of the film, citing health reasons and that he had forewarned the team. “He had asked what we’d do if he passed away in the middle,” Kamal said. For Haasan, Uttama Villain is an “important” and “unforgettable” film.

losely following in the footsteps of meta films such as Jigarthanda and Kathai Thiraikkathai Vasanam Iyakkam, comes debutante J. Vadivel’s Kallappadam, another honest and brave attempt to throw the spotlight on the trials and tribulations of struggling first-timers in filmdom by walking a tightrope between satire and tribute. What we get to see may not be exceptional, but something far offbeat than the mainstream garbage that’s thrown at the audiences every week. In Kallappadam, director J. Vadivel, plays a struggling version of himself. His friends and roomies are music composer K, editor Gaugin and cinematographer Santosh. All of them play their own struggling versions. In the opening shot, we see the doppelgangers of Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth getting ready for a shoot. Everything is in sepia mode. The director explains the scene. The music composer plays the sample tune, while the cinematographer and editor discuss their respective roles. They’re set for the shot and seconds before the take,

we hear what appears to be the sound of an alarm. Everything so far was just a dream in the lives of the four friends, who are so close that they dream together of making a film.

Most first- timers are treated like aliens, like they don’t belong here. Wherever they go, they’re mostly shown the door The sad part is even in their dreams; they can’t afford to work with any real stars. On the door of the small abode these friends live in, it reads ‘No

humans allowed’ written on the image of an alien. The reason it’s highlighted is because there are humans; there are dogs and finally, there are first-timers desperate for a break in the industry. Most first-timers are treated like aliens, like they don’t belong here. Wherever they go, they’re mostly shown the door, as they are considered naive and not willing to compromise. There’s a sub-plot about a once successful actress called Leena. With no offers coming her way, Leena is forced to extend hand for financial support. With some good ideas and intentions, Kallappadam could’ve been an excellent meta film. But it still doesn’t disappoint. —Haricharan Pudipeddi

Dhoni knows how to win World Cups: Vaughan

Former England captain Michael Vaughan is all praise for the leadership ability of Team India captain MS Dhoni.

SYDNEY: Former England captain Michael Vaughan on March 24 said that though both India and Australia have a 50-50 chance, one cannot rule out the Mahendra Singh Dhonifactor when the two teams clash in the cricket World Cup semifinal at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).. “There is something about Dhoni and World Cups. Dhoni knows how to win World Cups and that goes quite a long way. What he did after the triseries is remarkable. I really do think it is a 50-50 caller. India has got the power and finesse,” Vaughan was quoted as saying by bcci.tv. The former right-handed batsman said the SCG pitch could suit the Indian slow bowlers. “India would fancy themselves playing at the SCG. It will take some spin.

(Ravichandran) Ashwin is getting the ball to shape through the air which is very important to his style of bowling,” said the 40-year-old. “They are looking at what South Africa’s Imran Tahir did in the quarterfinal and it will come down to certain players winning their opening battles, from (David) Warner and (Aaron) Finch to Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma winning the opening battle against Mitchell Starc.” “The Indian team has a wonderful array of batsmen who have been there and done that. They have got a couple of young players like (Ajinkya) Rahane who I believe is the best technician among Indian players. He plays the quicks and spin as well as anybody. With MSD, they have a firecracker,” he said.

In reply, New Zealand got over the line with contributions from skipper Brendon McCullum (26ball 59), Corey Anderson (58) and Elliot (84 not out). Leading from the front, McCullum (26-ball 59) blasted eight fours and four sixes to give his side a flying start. But when he and his deputy Kane Williamson (6) were removed by pacer Morne Morkel, New

Duminy and substitute fielder Farhaan Behardien almost collided in the deep.

Zealand were in trouble at 81/2 in nine overs. It was then that Anderson and seasoned Elliot repaired the damage. They ensured that New Zealand remain in hunt as far as the run rate was concerned. Their crucial 103-run partnership ended when Anderson, who scored his fourth ODI fifty, skied a Morkel delivery to du Plessis at square leg.

De Villiers rues missed chances IANS, AUCKLAND

South Africa set New Zealand a daunting target of 298 runs in 43 overs and were well placed to win the match but they squandered several opportunities to surrender the contest.

on 33 then. He went on to score a crucial knock of 58 runs off 57 balls. Asked about the incident in the post-match media conference, De Villiers said: “That’s one of the moments. We had a few chances to win the game tonight. It’s not the only chance. Tried my best to catch and I didn’t.” “I didn’t take that and unfortunately, we had our chance again after that. But, yes, if you want to see it that way, that I cost us, then I’ll gladly take it.” Man-of-the-Match Grant Elliot was also given a “life” in the 42nd over of the Kiwi innings.

any expansive shots, he still scored at a run rate near 90.” “It was one of the great innings of self-restraint played by a batsman who could be extravagant, bordering on reckless at times,” he said of the Indian right-hander. “Rohit was every bit disciplined, and mostly denied himself the signature lofted shots into the stands or the careless uppish shot through the infield that so often bring one of his promising innings to a premature halt,” Ian said. Ian, who had played 75 Tests and 16 oneday-internationals (ODI) for Australia, also came up in appreciation for Suresh Raina for playing a supportive role at MCG.

After ‘Hate Story 2’, I was being offered films of the same genre with too much of sexual content in it. I don’t want to be known just for my kissing so I want to focus on my acting. “I don’t want to get typecast so I am doing different films. Its difficult for an actor to come out of it,” the actor told IANS and added that he wants to “do a family film.” Jay will now be seen in Ek Paheli Leela with actress Sunny Leone but the actor assures that clarifies that he doen’t have sensuous scenes in this film. “In this film I have not been presented like I was presented in Hate Story 2.

I am not doing any sensual scenes with anyone in this film,” he said. “I want to be known for my acting and I want to be in news for my work,” he added.

It will feature Kangana playing double roles of Kusum “Datto” Sangwan and Tanuja “Tanu” Trivedi. Talking about her experience of playing two roles in the sequel, Kangana said: “They are very different. The experience was very challenging.

She loves herself much more than others. While Dattoo is a complete woman. She is somebody who we would want to be like. “But Tanu is more beautiful and attractive,” she said.

creative entrepreneur and wife of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan, who has lent her creativity to Satya Paul to mark the fashion brand’s 30th anniversary, says her personal style is more about saris than western gowns. Her debut clothing and accessories collection for Satya Paul is called ‘A Tropical Wonder’, which she presented at the Lakme Fashion Week summer-resort 2015 at Hotel Palladium here. Expressing her love towards the six-yard wonder, Gauri said: “When I talk about the brand Satya Paul, the first thing which comes to my mind is sari apart from all the shirts and various things. “If I have to go out for an event, I would choose a sari over gown. So, for me to design the sari for them is very apt. I really enjoyed that experience to create, compose the look and get it alright. Sari is my favorite garment.” She, however, opted for a mini skirt matched with a tucked-in top

and jacket while taking the final bow for her Satya Paul show. Gauri incorporated the use of luxurious prints for a line of casual and occasion holiday wear. There were mix and match separates in the form of sheer tunics, fluid kaftans, versatile shift dresses and elegant saris. The newly turned fashion designer used palm motifs and calligraphic scribbles. Gauri was upbeat about seeing her designs “come live on stage”.

hile many Indian designers are trying to hit international runways with their creations, here is one Briton who is fascinated by Indian handloom and textiles. Designer Natalie Jolliffe of brand Miss Bennett London says that such elements are “real luxury” for someone like her who hardly find such products in her hometown. Jolliffe, a frequent visitor to India since the past few years, says she has stocked her wardrobe with a lot of Indian handloom pieces. “I have taken them back whenever I have visited India. They are beautiful and it’s something that we can’t get in England at all. It’s real luxury to us and we admire it,” the designer told IANS on the sidelines of LFW here. Jolliffe the designer was here to present the spring-summer edition of her brand on the Jabong stage in front of Indian fashion enthusiasts. The collection is exclusively available in India on online destination Jabong.com, at prices starting at `299. The designer, who went to London College of Fashion to graduate

in Fashion Management, has been in the fashion industry for 16 years. Her next big plan is to make Miss Bennett London a popular name on the global map of fashion. Is the Indian market a key focus? “I have been visiting India over the past 12 years, so I have seen a considerable change in terms of fashion here. The youth market here is huge. Most girls in India have iPhones and they know what the trends are and they are eager to adapt. “There aren’t many brands to facilitate their need for fashion and that’s one of the reasons why we

decided to launch in India with Jabobg.com to give them more exciting options,” she said. Her brand offers a mix of ensembles like crop tops, mini dresses enhanced with floral, marble and graphic prints mixed with elements like track pants and sneakers for the fashion forward young women looking for a distinct style statement. Jolliffe feels that the Indian youth are willing to experiment and Miss Bennett London can serve their taste. “We are focusing on the young and the trendy real teenagers.”

IAMACF CHARITY GALA ON APRIL 18 BY A STAFF WRITER

LMHURST, IL - The Indian American Medical Association Charitable Foundation of Chicago (IAMACF) will have its annual charity gala on April 18 at the Waterford Banquet Hall, located at 933 S. Riverside Drive in Elmhurst, Illinois. This year’s keynote speaker is Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D., who is Governor Rauner’s newly-appointed Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health. Live entertainment this year, will be “Moods of Gulzar” presented by renowned Bollywood Artist Anuradha Marathe. The annual charity gala helps IAMACF raise almost 90% of the funding needed to operate the free community health clinic for a year, serve over 3,000 people, pay for medical laboratory testing and provide a limited

number of pharmaceutical medication to those in need. However, with the deep and impending budgets cuts looming over the horizon with the State of Illinois’s budget crisis, many community service organizations will be forced to cut services, layoff staff, close programs, or worse, close their doors forever. When they do, it will create an even higher demand for our primary healthcare services. With the IAMACF community health clinic located in Chicago’s West Ridge community, the area is home to one of the most culturally diverse and underserved neighborhoods in the city and state. No wonder, the IAMACF needs public help. It’s time to join the IAMACF board at this gala and help raise the critical funds needed to keep the clinic’s doors open and serving the area’s most underserved communities. Created in 1994, the IAMACF’s

free, non-profit clinic has been providing primary healthcare services on Saturdays and Sundays for over 20 years at its 2645 W. Peterson Avenue location in Chicago. The community clinic is run by volunteer physicians from area hospitals and private practices, including the Indian American Medical Association of llinois. It is also a teaching clinic for medical students from six local medical schools, with the student activities coordinated by New Life Volunteer Services. Together, the IAMACF’s free clinic provides medical services to all who walk through its doors with no appointments needed. The free health clinic serves an extremely low-income segment of the area’s population, who are uninsured and underserved with no other affordable or culturally competent alternative medical facility to serve their healthcare needs.

Early Voting and In-Person Registration BY A STAFF WRITER

BY A STAFF WRITER

OUSTON, TX -- Indian American Dr. Rupa Iyer, a professor at the University of Houston, has been nominated for the Fulbright Specialist Roster, an esteemed list of field experts who fulfill requirements for specialized knowledge, skills or research by providing their expertise. Iyer, who is the associate dean of research and graduate studies at the University of Houston’s College of Technology, has received endorsements from the Institute of International Education’s Council for International Exchange of Scholars and the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, according to a University of Houston press release. The roster comprises a list of field experts who are eligible to be matched with project requests for Fulbright Specialists from educational institutions abroad. Iyer specializes in environmental biotechnology with applications in bioremediation. She has a Ph D in botany and plant pathology from Michigan State University and a Masters in biotechnology from the University of Mumbai. Iyer completed her postdoctoral studies in the M.D Anderson Cancer Research Center in Houston, reported the University of Houston. Iyer, who joined the College of Technology in 2005 as an associate professor, took on the post of associate dean of research and graduate studies last year. She is also the director for the Center for Life Sciences Technology, along with the founding director for biotechnology programs, added the press release.

The IAMACF community health clinic provides a culturally competent environment, with multilingual physicians and volunteers who also extend the free clinic’s (limited) pharmacy and lab services to anyone in need. Dr. Anita John, the Chair of the clinic’s Board of Directors, adds that “we provide medical services to over three thousand patients annually, through the generosity of thousands of individual donors, corporate sponsors and local foundations who have helped us raise the critical funds needed to keep serving anyone in need of medical services.” Furthermore, she said “however, it’s becoming harder and harder to sustain the cost of providing services, as the medical need has risen each year, so have operational costs and grants funding is becoming ever-increasingly difficult to secure.”

arly Voting begins Mon., March 23 at 51 locations in Chicago, and each site also will offer voter-registration. All sites will be open from March 23 through April 4. Hours at all sites will be Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sun., March 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Voters don’t need a reason or excuse to use Early Voting, but they do need government-issued photo ID. Chicago voters may use any early voting site in the city, regardless of where they live. “With April 7 being in the middle of spring break, we expect strong use of Early Voting and Absentee Voting,” said Election Board Chairman Langdon D. Neal. “With Early Voting and Absentee Voting, people may cast their ballots when and where they want. This way, there’s no need to worry about a scheduling conflict on April 7.” Any voter who needs to a file name or address change, or who needs to register for the first time, will need to present two forms of ID, at least one of which shows the voter’s current address. Voters who register or file a name or address change must be ready to vote during that same visit.

BY A STAFF WRITER

HICAGO, IL – The ‘festival of colors’ organized by the Federation of Indian Associations (FIA) was one of the biggest Indian cultural events which took place on March 21at DuPage County Fairgrounds, at Manchester Rd, Wheaton, IL. This event touched the hearts as well as the imaginations of Indian immigrants and natives simultaneously. Over 1,500 attendees enjoyed the vibrant colors, dazzling music, enthralling dances, sumptuous Indian food, clothing and jewellery sold by 40 local vendors. The event brought out the best out of the FIA board members and volunteers. “It was a Perfect-10 performance,” said Sunil Shah, the founding president of FIA who encouraged his team to bring new ideas and work together. The idea of holding a mega Holi Mela in DuPage County was initiated by Moon Khan, the newly-elected vice president of FIA.

Onkar Sangha and Sunil Shah liked the idea and motivated everybody, and the entire team and volunteers worked very hard to make this project a memorable event. Equally inspiring has been the FIA’s current president Onkar Sangha. “I feel honored and privileged to have the unmatched cooperation of my board members” More than 25 people worked tirelessly in securing the permits from the DuPage County Fairgrounds and DuPage County Health Department, solicited 40 vendors, lined up the cultural program artists. What’s more, they secured grand sponsorship from Haldirams and numerous other sponsors, arranged face painting, installed inflated children’s jumping house, invited a bag piper to perform free of charge at the event.

: 630.855.6907 H-4 SPOUSES MAYContact BE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION (EAD)

BY ATTORNEY PARVEEN GOYAL HS has proposed to amend rules for spouses on H-4 to be able to apply for employment Authorization (EAD) provided the following conditions are satisfied: The principal H-1B spouse has an approved immigrant visa petition (Form I-140); OR The principal H-1B spouse’s is in H-1B status beyond his or her sixth year of H1-B pursuant to AC 21.. In other words period of stay is authorized under sections 106(a) and (b) of the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-first Century Act of 2000 (AC21). AC21 §§106(a) and (b) provide for a one-year extension of H-1B status beyond the six-year limitation established by INA §214(g)(4) and the principal H-1B nonimmigrant is the beneficiary of a labor certification application or an I-140 petition that has been pending for at least 365 days prior to reaching the end of the sixth year of H-1B status. H-4 spouse who meets this criteria and requirements, will need to apply for employment authorization document (EAD and has to pay the appropriate fee to DHS. Adultthe Classes Even though USCIS hasStarting statedAt $379.00 the reason to issue EAD to H-4 spouse to Packages encourage H-1Bprofessional toTeen remain in the United States, so that they do not Register Online Today!!!!! abandon their efforts to become lawful permanent residents, if their spouses are not able to work in the U.S because of

their current status of H-4. The proposed rule does not go far enough. If the purpose is to attract and retain professional such Software consultants and physicians and other professionals, DHS should expand this benefit of EAD to all H-4 spouses and children from the day one when principal alien starts working in the US on H1-B status. The spouses of H-1, L-1, E-1, E-2, and E-3 all nonimmigrant who may seek employment authorization should be given from the day they are admitted to the United states . This will make U.S. market more attractive to the professional to work in to bring in with some parity with other countries such as U.K. and Canada. We are still waiting for further clarifications from USCIS as to the procedures and application of these proposed rules on EAD for H-4 spouses. You are strongly advised to contact a professional immigration attorney to seek appropriate legal advice as each case has its own facts. Consult an attorney before you make any plan or filing or make any decision and to find out if you are eligible to take benefit of this order. This article is written by Attorney Parveen K.

Love begins to pour when men come home Reconnecting with their families after a day of separation would have been a challenge for men throughout evolutionary history IANS, WASHINGTON

bsence does make the heart grow fonder. This is the outcome of new research that found that the level of the “love” hormone oxytocin increases when people come home after a tiring day at work. Anthropologists from the University of California, Santa Barbara, also found that the increase in oxytocin was greater for those men who were absent longer, and it positively correlated with changes in testosterone. The team conducted Oxytocin level the study on Tsimane is like a men who are an physiological indigenous population measure of the of forager-farmers and value of the hunters in the lowlands relationship of Bolivia’s Amazon basin. “Hunting for subsistence and sharing meat is something people have done for hundreds of thousands of years,” Jaeggi added. The team found that high testosterone levels while hunting could be attributed to a “winner effect” expe-

Artificial light at night can make you feel sick NEW YORK: Over-exposure to artificial light at night has serious longterm health implications like tendency to breast cancer, obesity, diabetes, depression, and possibly other forms of cancer, says a new study. “We don’t know for certain, but there’s growing evidence that the long-term implications of this have ties to breast cancer, obesity, diabetes, depression, and possibly other form of cancers,” said Richard

Stevens University of Connecticut, Farmington (Uconn).. Inadequate exposure to natural light during the day and overexposure to artificial light at night is not conducive to the body’s natural sleep/wake cycle. “We’re learning that better lighting can reduce these physiological effects. By that we mean dimmer and longer wavelengths in the evening, and avoiding tablets and phones.”

rienced by men making a kill. The increased oxytocin could serve as a balance to make the hunters kinder, more generous and more willing to share their bounty. “These men are coming home, they are finished with work for the day and they are about to eat and share food,” Jaeggi continued. So the need to be social coincides with the need to regenerate and it would make sense for the same hormones to facilitate both functions. How can the findings among a group of indigenous hunter-gatherers in central Bolivia be applied to the modern world? “I think the ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’ effect could potentially be very widespread,” Jaeggi noted. Reconnecting with their families after a day of separation would have been a very common challenge for men throughout evolutionary history, and oxytocin could help with that. Oxytocin levels indicate how much you value another person. It is like a physiological measure of the value of the relationship.

Moscow women vouch for Ayurveda IANS, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM

yurveda has been a big hit in Russian capital Moscow, with many women who were looking at alternate health care practices asking about it during the country’s largest tourism fair. The public and industry representatives streamed into the Kerala Tourism stall during the four-day 22nd Moscow International Travel and Tourism Exhibition (MITT) that ended on March 21. The theme of Kerala Tourism’s stall was ayurveda and the state’s sun-and-sand destinations. A major part of the enquiries on ayurveda came from Russian women, who were looking at alternate health care practices. “Kerala Tourism’s participation in MITT has helped our trade partners build strong relations with the travel and tourism industry of Russia,” said Kerala Tourism Minister A.P. Anilkumar. MITT, the largest tourism fair in Russia, attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year, nearly threefourth of them from the travel industry.

Over 2,000 exhibitors from 203 countries are taking part in the fourday event. India’s Ambassador to Russia P.S. Raghavan said ayurveda was becoming increasingly popular in key markets like Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg (the fourth largest city in Russia), especially among health-conscious women. “Kerala’s efforts to promote tourism in the Russian market has

the full support of our embassy,” said Raghavan. Kerala Tourism director P.I. Sheik Pareeth said the “evolving” Russian travellers were “looking at more than beach holidays”. “Several leading Russian tour operators, including many mediumsized operators, visited our stand and expressed their willingness to enter into agreements on ayurveda package with our resorts,” he said.
