Tina Dabi didn’t avail of reservations, but they made her achievement possible
Napoleon Bonaparte said “ability is nothing without opportunity”. This assertion describes the case of Tina Dabi, who has topped the civil services examination 2015 at the age of 22. Just after the results were declared, when social media was flooded with reports that a Dalit girl has topped the UPSC, it seemed unbelievable to me. This achievement could not have been possible 40-50 years ago. Dabi has not availed of the quota, but reservation has provided the opportunities, of which her triumph is the byproduct. Down the years, reservation has been an issue of debate, and some in our country think that it is hampering efficiency while another section of people sees it as a shrinking of opportunities. It was the East India Company that started the coveted civil services in 1757, whose members signed covenants with the Company; the Macaulay committee gave India its first professional bureaucracy in 1854 which recommended that the patronage-based system of the East India Company be replaced by a permanent civil service based on merit and competition. Indians were not qualifying, so there was a demand led by Dadabhai Naoroji for their inclusion. If during the British regime, the upper strata of Indians fought for inclusion, later it was Dalits after the Poona Pact and backwards through the Mandal Commission. A study, conducted jointly by Thomas Weisskopf of Michigan University and Ashwini Deshpande of Delhi School of Economics to measure the impact of reservations on efficiency, concluded that reservations have not hampered the efficiency of administration, rather they have enhanced quality. The example of the Indian railways proves that where SC/ST employees are more in number, the results have been better. In the course of the study, zones and periods of time with a higher number of SC/ ST employees were compared with those with lower numbers, keeping other variables constant. They found no negative impact on productivity and efficiency in any area, and positive effects in some areas of work. Those coming from marginalised sections are highly motivated to perform well when they attain decision-making and managerial positions. The policy of reservation has not harmed, rather it has integrated, society. Only those who do not see it in the wider context harbour ill will and heartburn. It should also be welcomed from the nationalistic and humanist point of view.

Film-maker Mahesh Bhatt took to Twitter to unveil the motion poster of the fourth instalment of his horror film series Raaz which states ‘secrets are the enemy of love’.

the film also stars Kriti Kharbanda and Gaurav Arora, who was launched by filmmaker Vikram Bhatt in his latest outing Love Games. Raaz, that started off with Dino Morea and Bipasha Basu playing the leads in the first part, continued as a franchise with Emraan Hashmi playing the lead in the other two installments. While Raaz 2 had Kangana Ranaut as the leading lady, Raaz 3 saw Esha Gupta in a leading role and Bipasha Basu playing the negative role.

Azhar Movie Review
Agency | Mumbai Azhar is clearly made as an attempt at redemption for the tainted cricketer and India’s ex-captain Mohammad Azharuddin. Unfortunately, you walk out of the theatre with no emotions, no sympathy, except for remorse at having wasted another two hours of your life on a strictly mediocre film. It is sad because Tony D’Souza, the director of Azhar biopic (or is it not
Ahmedabad
as the long disclaimer at the beginning of the film tries to tell us in no uncertain terms) is supposedly talking about the tumultuous and adventurous life of one of the finest cricketers that the country has seen and all we remember now is how shockingly tacky any subject in hand, however interesting, can be turned into. As most of us in this cricket loving nation would know, Azharuddin was a revered cricketer
and the captain of Indian team, before he was banned from playing after he was accused of being part of a match fixing scandal in 2000. The film mainly focuses on his journey and struggle after the ban till eight years later he was given the clean chit, due to lack of evidence. If his alleged involvement in the scandal hugely disappointed his fans, this movie is only going to disappoint them further. Narrating a tale of this kind of a upheaval in a cricketing genius’ life requires a lot of research, thought and of course, a clear vision. Lacking in all three, the direction, the script and even the dialogues just about skim the surface, refusing to take pains to go any deeper or even invest any time and energy in showing some real on ground cricket.
Nargis Fakhri takes a month off from films for health related issues Agency | Mumbai
Nargis Fakhri is out of country to address her health issues and not because of either a rumoured calling-off of a wedding with Uday Chopra or a decision to quit showbiz, the actress’ spokesperson has said. Nargis’ sudden disappearance from showbiz -- even the promotions of her film Azhar -- has left fodder for gossip mongers. There are media reports that Nargis was all set to announce her wedding with actor-producer Uday, but he called it off. Rumours were also rife that following the apparent relationship hitting rock bottom she had a ‘nervous breakdown’ and left the producers of all her upcoming films in a lurch. However, the Rockstar actor’ spokesperson has a different story to tell. “Nargis has been extremely overworked working on three films simultaneously over the last year. For someone who is used to doing one film at a time, this was quite a bit for Nargis. In addition, she has been unwell right through the Azhar promotions with multiple injuries - torn hamstring, anterior knee ligament thinning and mild socket dislocation along with burning of the stomach lining due to lead and arsenic poisoning. Due to these multiple issues and her overall exhaustion, she had a fever of about 101 degrees right through her promotions,” read the official statement by the spokesperson. The representative added that it is due to Nargis’ deteriorating condition that she had to request Sajid Nadiadwala -- producer of her next film Housefull 3 -- and “bow out of its promotions to go back home to New York for a month to address all her medical issues and recuperate”. Confirming that Nargis left mid-way through the work for Housefull 3 due to her health, Nadiadwala said: “Our priority is Nargis’s health. We do hope that she recuperates fast and can be there around the release of the film as she is an integral part of Housefull 3 team.”
Buddha In A Traffic Jam most relevant film of our times: Anupam Agency | Mumbai
Actor Anupam Kher says that his film “Buddha In A Traffic Jam”, which released on Friday, is the most relevant movie of the current times due to the ongoing socio-political situation in the country. “It is the most relevant film of our times. We had made the film three years ago; due to certain reasons it couldn’t release… It is difficult for small films to release. Considering what is happening in the country, there could not have been a more relevant film than this,” Anupam said at a screening of the film, directed by Vivek Agnihotri. In the film, Anupam plays
a professor of a business school — a university where corruption and other national issues occur. The recent controversy at the capital’s Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) for alleged anti-national slogans, followed by arrests of some students and continuous involvement of the police, court and media, perhaps has parallels with the incidents
of the film. Anupam said: “What we made three years ago is happening today. So, real life has copied reel life.” “I want to appreciate Vivek for the way he marketed the film. I don’t think he had the budget for the proper marketing and publicity. He went to numerous education institutes like IITs, because it is a film about students,” added the actor.

The most disappointing thing about Pele: Birth of a Legend is its failure to bring alive a fascinating story that has layers of historic, cultural and sporting significance. The film’s tagline not only refers to the arrival of one of the greatest footballers in the history of the game but also the introduction of an ancient, ridiculedby-the-Western-world, indigenous form of martial arts-meets-dance athleticism practised by African slaves in Latin America in a game dominated by whites.

3 / Dt. 14-05-2016, Saturday Celebrate togetherness with Almonds on International Day of Families Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
International Day of Families, proclaimed by the UN General Assembly, provides an opportunity to build awareness of issues relating to families and to increase knowledge of the social, economic and demographic processes affecting families .The concept of a family for us is that of the most basic model of life wherein the members are joined by bonds of love and care and help each other meet emotional and physical needs. However, today’s fast-paced life leaves us with little time to spend with our family and loved ones, making it all the more important to prioritize our family’s health and wellness when we are together. Taking care of your family’s health may not necessarily be as time-consuming as it may seem. Incorporating small changes in your life can make a big difference over the long term. Adopting healthy eating habits, working out regularly and providing opportunities for your loved ones to be physically active will help you and your family maintain a healthier life.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic announces departure from PSG

Kumble retained ICC Cricket Committee head, Rahul Dravid made member Agency | Dubai
Agency | Paris Zlatan Ibrahimovic confirmed on Friday that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of this season, but the French champions said the Swedish star will eventually return in a “management” role. “My last game tomorrow at Parc des Princes. I came like a king, left like a legend,” wrote Ibrahimovic, ending speculation that he could extend his con-
tract with PSG beyond this season. Ibrahimovic, whose existing deal expires on June 30, will make his final home appearance for the club in their last Ligue 1 game of the season against Nantes on Saturday. However, he will then run out in a PSG shirt one more time when they face Marseille in the French Cup final on May 21 at the Stade de France. “After discussions between Paris Saint-Ger-
main and the agent of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the club and the player have mutually decided not to renew his contract,” PSG said. “They have also agreed that once his playing career is over, Ibra will join the management of the club in a position of responsability.” In the meantime, Ibrahimovic will make his French swansong as a player when he turns out for Sweden at Euro 2016 in June.
and make sure that whoever is batting on 25, 30, convert those 25-30 runs into big one,” he said in the post-match press conference. After a run of four wins that catapulted the team to the top of the points table, Sunrisers Hyderabad suffered a seven-wicket loss to Delhi Daredevils in their last match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket
stadium here. Ojha said the team would ponder over the loss, practice hard and try to come back stronger. “In every game, some make mistakes and some make most of it. Today’s match, we have not played to our potential. We will go back and we will have couple of days rest, recover and practice and then again we will play. You never know in cricket what is going to happen,” he said. Observing that it is difficult for a new batsman to settle down and steer the innings in the event of early dismissal of batsmen, Ojha said a batsman who makes some 20 runs after consuming an equal number of balls should play through the innings.

Agency | Mumbai Gold demand in Asia was muted this week as physical buyers stayed off the market due to the bullion’s recent rally, with a key festival in India failing to lift demand in the world’s second biggest consumer. Gold has gained about 20 percent this year, touching a 15-month high earlier in May. Though prices slipped from those highs this week, consumers shied away from making big purchases, and premiums in key markets remained low. Indians bought a third less gold than last year during the annual Hindu and Jain holy festival of Akshaya Tritiya this week, when it is considered auspicious to buy gold. “This week’s demand was better than last week as consumers were making purchases for Akshaya Tritiya. Year-on-year basis demand was much lower during the festival due to higher prices,” said Aditya Pethe, a director at Waman Hari Pethe Jewellers. Demand in India was also hurt by droughts that have hit the earnings of millions of farmers. Rural demand accounts for about twothirds of India’s total gold consumption. Dealers were offering discounts of up to $15 an ounce to the global spot benchmark this week, up from a discount of up to $12 in the previous week.

Former India captain Anil Kumble was on Friday re-appointed ICC Cricket Committee chairman for a second term of three years while his one-time team-mate and batting great Rahul Dravid was named member of the top panel. Kumble, the alltime highest wicket-taker for India, was appointed as the chairman for his first term in 2012 and will now continue to head the panel until 2018. Meanwhile, another former India captain Dravid and ex-Sri Lanka skipper Mahela Jayawardene have been appointed to the ICC Cricket Committee, adding even more cricketing experience to the
list of eminent people already on the panel. Dravid and Jayawardene have played 1,161 international matches between them from 1996 to 2015, and each has been appointed for a three-year term. They will attend their first meeting at Lord’s on May 31 and June 1, three weeks before the ICC Annual Conference takes place in Edinburgh, Scotland, the ICC said in a statement.
Dravid has been elected by the current Test captains as current player representatives, replacing former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara, who has completed his final three-year term. Jayawardene has been appointed as a past player representative and takes over from former Australia captain Mark Taylor, who has also completed his final three-year term.
