“Imposition of 12 per cent GST on sanitary napkins is a big shocker for poor girls and women. The Modi government did not slash the tax (on sanitary napkins) despite demands raised by various NGOs and women’s group though it reduced the tax on other items,” Dev said while addressing reporters. The campaigning for the first phase of polls, slated for December 9, will end on Thursday. If voted to power, Congress will provide sanitary napkins to girl
Sibal, questioning the “hurry” to hear the matter now and demanding that it be referred to a Constitution Bench and the hearing be put off till July 2019. However, the Supreme Court bench, headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra and Justices Ashok Bhushan and S Abdul Nazeer adjourned the hearing in the Ayodhya case for February 8, 2018. The stakeholders in the case had moved the top court after the Allahabad High Court directed the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and the Lord Ram Lalla to settle for a three-way division of the disputed site. Meanwhile, on the last day of campaigning for the first phase
of Gujarat elections, PM Modi focused his attack on Kapil Sibal for seeking deferment of the Ayodhya dispute till the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and panned Congress for linking the issue with polls. “Yesterday in the Supreme Court, a Congress MP Kapil Sibal was arguing for the Babri Masjid. He is entitled to do that but is it right for him to say postpone hearing till 2019? Now, the Congress is linking Ram Mandir with elections. They are least bothered about the nation,” Modi said at a rally in Dhandhuka on Wednesday. The prime minister continued to lambast Sibal at a rally in Dahod on Ram Temple issue.

Female Sexual Dysfunction: This is a topic which has been least discussed in the Indian subcontinent
In recent decades, the growing prevalence of male sexual dysfunction has been popularized throughout the media. Stumble upon any late-night TV shows or male-centered health websites, and you’ll inevitably be met with a barrage of ads selling this penile dysfunction drug or that libido-enhancing supplement. But what about female sexual dysfunction? Women who suffer from sexual dysfunction are more numerous than you might think, but because this condition hasn’t been popularized by the media, it’s harder for women to speak out or find treatment where it’s needed. And they have every reason to seek help — female sexual dysfunction is a debilitating condition, essentially taking all the fun out of sex and often undermining the very foundations of a healthy relationship. So what exactly is female sexual dysfunction, and how can it be cured without a visit to the doctor? In the era of speciality in Gynecological services, there is the emergence of new challenges; Female Sexual Dysfunction is one of them. Female Sexual Dysfunction, in simple words, means that females cannot feel the orgasm. It may have a lot of causes. This is a topic which has been least discussed in the Indian subcontinent. ‘’I wish department of gynaecology IKDRC hosting “UROGYNAEC 2017” a grand success. This conference has always been a success in the past. This time there will be 2 days of operations by illustrious faculties from abroad and India’’, says PADAMSHREE.DR H L TRIVEDI Therefore, a practical approach to managing the urogynaecology issues and to have an idea about the latest developments and procedures in urogynaecology is important to be developed. This conference will witness the best surgeons from across the globe to operate on robotic, laparoscopically, and virginally. It is one of the rarest occasions where 47 surgeons will be performing live surgeries in the pre-conference workshop. The purpose of this conference is to make the Indian gynaecologists ‘beware’ and ‘be aware’ of these new challenges like FSD & Aesthetic/Cosmetic Surgeries of female reproductive systems. Because of popular demand from the gynaecologists across the country and due to the last year’s success of Urogynaec conference in IKDRC, Ahmedabad, this conference has been planned at IKDRC, Ahmedabad under the leadership of Dr Vineet Mishra and Vice-President, FOGSI. ‘’Gynaec society of Gandhinagar along with FOGSI is hosting an academic feast-UROGYNEC 2017.

Hollywood-Bollywood Diana Penty on Happy Bhag Jayegi sequel: Excited to play ‘Happy’ again, which is so different from me in real life GNS News | Mumbai
After the success of Happy Bhag Jayegi, actor Diana Penty says the failure of her last release Lucknow Central did bother her but she still thinks it was a great story. Diana starred opposite Farhan Akhtar in Lucknow Central. “Anyone who’s worked on a film would want their work to be watched and appreciated. I signed Lucknow Central because it was a story I wanted to be part of. I still stand by the fact that it was a well written, well-directed film with some great performances,” Diana says in an interview with said. “Unfortunately, it got lost along the way. But these (referring to failure) are experiences you learn from and grow with. They (failure) motivate you to work harder.” Her next venture is Happy Bhag Jayegi Returns, a first sequel for the 32-year-old actor and she is super excit-
ed about it. Eros International and Aanand L Rai’s Colour Yellow Productions are working on the sequel to Happy Bhag Jayegi and the team has roped in Sonakshi Sinha as well for the second part. “I am excited to play ‘Happy’ all over again! I loved playing this character that is so different from me in real life. But at the same time, it has been the biggest challenge for me so far. “At the moment I’m not thinking so much about the pressure and expectations as much as how much fun it’s going to be being ‘Happy’ again,” she says. Happy Bhag Jayegi directed by Mudassar Aziz, which released in August last year, turned out to be a surprise hit. It also featured Abhay Deol, Ali Fazal and Jimmy Shergill.

While Bigg Boss 11 continues to stir news and controversies around its content and contestants, there’s another name that is making headlines. Gehana Vasisth although has nothing to do with the reality show but looks like she has taken it upon herself to expose the contestants.

There were times when we adored Emma Stone for her style and charm, and other times we simply loved her because she decisively parted ways with glamour to be a part of a good film. It wouldn’t be completely wrong to say that real life Emma Stone is living her La La Land dreams. Much like Mia from the film, she had also come to Hol-
lywood with dreams of being an actor, and within a span of 10 years, she has turned into an Oscar winner, a Hollywood A-Lister and also one of the highest paid actors. Emma Stone was only fifteen when she moved to LA. She entered the world of glamour with the television show, ‘In Search of the New Partridge Family’. She played the role of Laurie Partridge.
As easy as it is for people sitting in car, office or at home to read the flashing headlines on the phones about refugees and civil wars and comment about the atrocities of the situations.

Where or what is home to them? Mere access to food, clothes and shelter, What about dealing the ghosts of the past is that what home is? with the nightmares of with eyes closed.
Uma Thurman on Harvey Weinstein scandal: I’ve been waiting to feel less angry to speak out
I have learned that when I’ve spoken in anger, I usually regret the way I express myself. “So I’ve been waiting to feel less angry and when I’m
ready, I’ll say what I have to say,” Thurman told Access Hollywood. Harvey Weinstein, who worked with Thurman in Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, and various other films, is currently under investigation by police in New York, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and the UK for sexual assault accusations. Numerous women have come forward against Weinstein in the wake of exposes from The New York Times.
dependent films need to work out a viable business model so that they continue to be made in future. “I think I would be comfortable in this zone. I don’t see myself making something big in that sense. I’d like it to

As women’s cricket in India continues to witness an upward curve Mumbai’s Jemimah Rodrigues slammed a 163-ball 202 in an Under-19 One-day tournament. The 16-yearold girl from Mumbai achieved this feat in a 50-over domestic match against Saurashtra. Jemimah, who began her career as a bowler, has already scored two hundreds in this tournament and averages over 300 in the U-19 Super Leagues. She took to the game at a very early age and started out as a bowler before becoming a top-order
batswoman, who normally opens the batting or walks out at number three. The versatile girl, who made the transition from plastic to the hard red ball soon after her fourth birthday, also has the distinction of having represented Mumbai at the U-17 level in hockey. During her blazing knock, the batswoman took the opposition bowling by the scruff of its neck, and helped her team to an imposing 347 for two in the allotted 50 overs. In India, Mumbai has been one of the biggest supply lines of talented cricketers, who have gone on to earn international accolades.
West Indies drop Kyle Hope for New Zealand tour, Sunil Ambris called up
Indian captain Virat Kohli took time off for a social cause ahead of the series decider against New Zealand, urging thousands of school children to stay away from drugs and substance abuse. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, state DGP Loknath Behara and three other Indian team members including Dinesh Karthik and Axhar Patel were among those who took the oath with the children at a packed Chandrasekharan Nair stadium. The occasion was the inaugural ceremony of the anti-drug campaign by Kerala Police titled ‘Yes to Cricket and No to Drugs’. A special postal cover was also released on the occasion. The Chief
West Indies have made one change to their Test squad which defeated Zimbabwe 1-0 in the recently concluded two-match Test series. Batsman Sunil Ambris replaced Kyle Hope in the squad that will tour New Zealand which will begin November 25. Ambris had made his international debut against England in the ODI series earlier this year. He also performed consistently in the fourday matches against visiting Sri Lanka ‘A’ side. Against Sri Lanka ‘A’, Ambris scored two centuries in three First-Class games, both coming in tough situations for his team. Though West Indies ‘A’ lost the series 2-1, Ambris scored 278 runs in five innings, the highest in the series. West Indies will be in Brisbane for a
preparatory camp from November 21 before playing the three-day warm-up game against New Zealand A in Lincoln. The two-match Test series will begin in Wellington with the first Test from December 1-5. The second Test will be played in Hamilton from December 9. The Tests will be followed by a threematch ODI series, which starts from December 20 and the tour will end with three T20Is, between December 29 and January 3. Hope was going through a lean patch and was subsequently dropped. He made his debut in July 2017 but has still has no half-century to his name. His highest score in international cricket in 46. Even against Zimbabwe, Hope could manage only 60 runs in three innings.

bility of sharing the new ball attack for India in the 3rd T20I against New Zealand on Tuesday. India won the first game but lost the second game as New Zealand forced a decider in the three-match series. Despite a 40run loss in the sec-
ond game, Bhuvneshwar feels India are not missing a fifth bowler. “You cannot blame the bowler for the loss. Other teams are there to play as well. We have played good cricket against Australia and even when we toured West Indies. The threematch series are very small and if you lose the first game and then tie it 1-1, you have to play a decider,” he said “As far as a fifth bowler is concern, we have Hardik Pandya and others bowl part-time. We haven’t missed a bowler so far. If your main bowlers do not take a wicket or go for runs, then you miss a bowler. But we think a lot about team combination.”
It will be a historic moment next month at the Adelaide Oval when England and Australia square-off in a day-night Test (during the Ashes series). While there may be ample time for both the teams to prepare themselves, England pacer James Anderson has already begun his planning and that too by taking insights from the South African cricket team. Admitting that the English side does not have enough experience in the day-night format, Anderson sought the opinion of South Af-
rican players with the Test experience under lights at the Adelaide. Last year South Africa had played in a day-night Test at the Adelaide where they were defeated by Australia. Addressing reporters at Adelaide, where England are set to play a practice match, Anderson said, “We spoke to the South Africans when we played them in our summer and
they said it was difficult in the twilight period and when the lights came on. So we tried to tap into them for as much information as we could. We’ve played one pink-ball Test match in England but not with the Kookaburra, so having the chance to come over here and practice with that and play a first-class game is important for us.”

The people of Gujarat and the state administration on Wednesday heaved a sigh of relief as Cyclone Ockhi dissipated over the Arabian Sea, sparing the poll-bound state. The cyclone on Tuesday was headed towards Gujarat after leaving a trail of destruction on the southern Indian coast. The cyclone yesterday passed the Mumbai coast and much to the relief of the people in Maharashtra’s capital, it just brought rains
and there was no loss of life or damage to property. As per an early morning release by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the cyclonic storm first turned into a ‘deep depression’, then into a ‘depression’ and finally into a ‘low pressure’ area after midnight. “The depression over east-central and adjoining north-east Arabian Sea weakened into a wellmarked low pressure area over east central Arabian sea and adjoining areas of north-east Arabian Sea, north coastal Maharashtra and south coastal Gujarat at 23:30 hours yesterday,” the release said. The cyclone dissipated over the sea before hitting the Gujarat coast, said Jayanta Sarkar, the director of the MeT Centre here. “The cyclone did not reach Surat at all. It dissipated into the sea be-
