Isro readies to give India’s space shuttle ambition wings Agency | New Delhi
The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is racing the monsoon to launch its Reusable Launch Vehicle Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD) from the Sriharikota space port next week. “We are looking at May 23 as a tentative date for the launch, provided atmospheric conditions are favourable,” says Devi Prasad Karnik. “The RLV-TD’s first test was scheduled last year, but it was postponed due to technical reasons.” The size of a big sedan, the RLV’s prototype resembles NASA’s
iconic Space Shuttle. And ISRO would hope it flies like one, too. The problem with the launch systems of today is that once launched, a booster rocket cannot be re-used. Since nearly 70% cost of any space launch vehicle lies in its structure and avionics, RLVs are ideal to minimise payload
Sukriti Gupta from Delhi school tops exam, scores 99.4 per cent Agency | New Delhi
Delhi girl Sukriti Gupta, who aspires to be an engineer and study at IIT, has topped the CBSE Class XII board examination with 99.4 per cent. Gupta, a student of Montfort School, Ashok Vihar, scored 497 marks out of 500. While she has scored a perfect 100 in Physics and Chemistry, she has got 99 marks each in English, Mathematics and Computer Science. She is preparing for her en-
gineering exams and will appear for the JEE advanced exam tomorrow. “I was sure of my performance but did not expect to top the exams. This was certainly beyond my expectations,” she told to agency. “I want to be an engineer and study at IIT Delhi but I have also kept other options open. I don’t believe in excessive planning but taking one step at a time so will decide about the future course after taking the competitive exams,” she
added. Gupta’s advice for those who will be taking the exams next year is, “to follow NCERT books strictly, not fall into study 14 hours a day trap and not expect any last minute miracles”.

Assembly poll results prove voter is focused on development, not dynasty or caste and creed math
The results of the assembly elections would indicate that any association with the Congress party was the political equivalent of the kiss of death. As per my forecast, in all the four states, the Congress lost, most horribly in Assam. The assumption that Muslims (34 per cent of the population) would not, cannot, should not vote for the BJP or parties associated with it, was meant to ensure the BJP’s defeat. This did not happen. Instead, the BJP won by a landslide. Clearly, the math did not work. How did the BJP win Assam, almost on its own? What is very likely to have happened is that an unexpectedly large fraction of Muslims (around 15 to 25 per cent) voted for the BJP alliance. Similarly, what was the likely basis for Mamata Banerjee’s landslide victory in West Bengal? Some important background reference points. First, these state elections were the first since 2014 not preceded by any commotion, etc about an intolerant and communal BJP at the Centre. For the last two years, two forces have combined to defeat, or at least unsettle, the BJP in its electoral campaigns. First, the Tea Party elements (those who believe in beef ban politics, ghar wapsi, love jihad, moral censorship, etc) within the BJP have been only too eager to claim their 15 minutes of infamy by making rabid statements. The intolerant statements were amplified by an over-eager Congress party, which was always willing to capitalise by creating their own commotion, for instance, award wapsi. But all of this would have counted for nought if the opinion-making English press did not join in with full gusto and exaggeration. The net result — intolerance and communal tensions peaked during the voting in all post-2014 elections, and fell to zero the minute the voting was over. So bizarre and coincidental that only a conspiracy theory can help explain these cosmic happenings. But it didn’t happen in 2016. The BJP was stone deaf to the provocation. Elections in Assam proceeded on schedule, and the BJP won a historic, and overwhelming mandate. The Assam result also shows that the Modi government is willing to learn from its past mistakes. Notice how they ran the Assam campaign — local leaders, growth and development issues, etc. And when the time came for the BJP to celebrate on May 19 nobody said we should have domestic laddoos rather than foreign cakes; further, the cake was decorated in green, and not saffron. There is another large lesson — this one from West Bengal — for all politicians and political junkies.

DAY Vidya Balan masters driving Sarbjit box office collection: AishwaryaRandeep’s film opens to a poor start skills for TE3N Agency | New Delhi
Agency | New Delhi Actress Vidya Balan, who is currently shooting for Sujoy Ghosh’s upcoming film TE3N, is having a gala time mastering her driving skills on the film’s sets. Vidya Balan, along with the lead actors Amitabh Bachchan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, will be seen in a pivotal guest appearance in director Ribhu Dasgupta’s emotional thriller. Vidya Balan essays the role of a police officer named Sarita Sarkar, who swings into action when an iden-
tical crime happens eight years later. In one of the chase sequence to nap a murderer, Vidya’s character has to vend her way to different localities in the city of Kolkata. And for this, she is improving her driving skills to give what is required for her role. Vidya, who knows how to drive, actually drove around the streets of Kolkata with Kahaani director Sujoy Ghosh as her driving instructor by her side. “I know how to drive,” Vidya Balan said, “but I’ve never been a
confident driver but for this film, I wanted to do it myself so I actually drove around Kolkata. Sujoy Ghosh was my driving instructor.” Set in Kolkata, the film is about a crime that affects its three principal characters. Amitabh plays John Biswas, a grandfather in relentless pursuit of justice for eight years, while Nawazuddin Siddiqui plays Father Martin Das, whose life was changed forever by the same crime that claimed the life of John’s granddaughter.

Sushmita celebrates Miss Universe crowning anniversary with unseen pics
Ahmedabad
Agency | Mumbai On May 21, over 1 million students who appeared for their board exams were presented with their results. Many would be overjoyed with what
they’ve got but many would be disappointed at their result too, it’s only natural. But how far does the percentage matter? Stand-up comedian Vir Das has a message for you
that’ll lift your spirits because at the end what matters is your inner voice and this marksheet will not really decide your chart of life. “Listen to the voice in your head… Nothing else… I REPEAT… NOTHING ELSE” he writes. This is not the first time, Vir Das has put out an inspirational video for students who appeared for board exams. Last year, he released a video titled “On Your Marks” that had an equally meaningful message and went viral.
Sarbjit is based on the life of Indian farmer Sarabjit Singh, who was convicted of terrorism by a court in Pakistan. The film stars Randeep Hooda in titular role, while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan plays the role of Sarabjit Singh’s sister Dalbir Kaur. Richa Chadha is seen as Sarabjit’s wife in the film. Sarbjit opened to mixed reviews from the critics, but the film struck an emotional chord with the audience. Despite viewers giving it a thumbs up, the film couldn’t manage to cast
its magic at the box office on its opening day. The film earned Rs 3.69 crore on Day 1. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted: The film had an occupancy rate of 15 to 20 percent in morning shows. Randeep Hooda
was appreciated for his performance in the film. The Highway actor said, “Sarbjit could definitely work as a basis of protest against the unfair, it might just shake things up and bring one’s separated people together.”
And who wouldn’t want to be a part of a show that is setting trends rather than following them?” Whether it is the result of creative liberty or writer’s block we don’t know. But the viewers are smart enough

is currently the favourite spirit behind some of the recent sandalwood hits. In fact, ‘U Turn,’ is nothing short of brilliance in first half until it is taken over by an unseen force. Everything which looked so well crafted - from the plot which keeps the audience engaged without an iota of boredom to the well portrayed characters, starts diluting the moment the real face behind the mystery comes into play. Shraddha is too good as the journalist as the intern with a leading English newspaper and
Roger perfectly fits the bills of an investigating police officer. While further adding on to the intriguing portions, it takes an unusual turn when the intern is picked up from her apartment for questioning in connection with a mysterious suicide case. While pleading innocence, she maintains that she had been working on a story over disregard to civic sense amongst two-wheeler riders who dangerously took U-Turn on a busy flyover by misplacing the removable concrete bricks.

Looks like the popular family drama on television, Sasural Simar Ka, has got inspired by the 2012 South Indian flick, Eega, a.k.a Makkhi. In the latest twist of the series, the protagonist Simar, has turned into a housefly. Dipika Kakar, who plays the title role comments, “An actor never determines or has a say in the story line,” Dipika also feels that the creative liberties taken by the show have ended up in setting trends on television. She adds, “Aren’t naagins and daayans the current trend?

Brahmotsavam review: This Mahesh Babu film is an opportunity wasted Agency | Chennai
Agency | Mumbai Actress Sushmita Sen went on a nostalgic trip as she celebrated 22 years of Miss Universe crowning today. The 40-yearold model-turned-actress, who was the first Indian women to win the crown of Miss Universe in 1994, took to Twitter to thank people, who helped her in her pursuit. She even shared and retweeted old pictures from her Miss Universe days. “‘You’ll wear the crown for a year, but INDIA will own the title 1994 forever... Celebrate that always’,” she wrote quoting Martin
Brooks, president of Miss Universe Organisation in 1994. The Main Hoon Na actor also thanked Miss Colombia Carolina Gomez, 1st runner-up at Miss Universe 1994, for being supportive. “Thank you @carogomezfilm #MissColombia #1994 for teaching me what ‘Grace’ is! What a woman!! I love u Carolina,” Sushmita wrote. She also changed her Twitter profile picture with a one clicked post her Miss Universe win. Sushmita made her Bollywood debut in 1996 with Mahesh Bhatt directed-film Dastak.
Last time we saw Mahesh Babu on the silver screen, he was busy sending goons in the air, and mouthing a lot of one-liners throughout the film Srimanthudu. In Srikanth Addala’s Brahmotsavam, it is all mellowed down. There is heroism, but it is of a different kind. One thing the directors of Tamil and Telugu film industries excel at is the innovative methods they come up with to introduce their heroes. When Mahesh Babu shows up on the screen, rather than a heavy BGM, a pepped-up version Madhurashtakam plays, and the hero is seen wearing a white blazer. This one shot is enough to

see through the character. He is handsome; he is a charmer, and most of all, he is pious. He is someone like Aman Mathur of Kal Ho Naa Ho, but here the hero is not dying, but full of life instead. Actually, everything in Brahmotsavam is full of life, but the audience in the movie hall is sombre. Much of it is due to the brittle screen-
play and writing. Brahmotsavam follows the story of a family (a big one) headed by Mahesh Babu’s father Sathyaraj. The family head runs a massive paint industry along with his brother-in-law (Rao Ramesh) and his four brothers. Rao Ramesh is jealous of Sathyaraj and thinks he steals all the credit.
Not many could digest the magic pill he served in ‘Lucia,’ which did created a buzz for various reasons including being the crowd funded venture, and more importantly for breaking away from the typical commercial masala films.

IPL 2016: Here’s what the teams need to do to qualify for play-offs
SPORTS ROUNDUP IPL 2
Prince Narula’s moment of weakness
Agency | New Delhi Already 52 matches have been done and dusted with but we still don’t know which four teams are going to make the play-offs of this season of IPL. This has by far been the most competitive edition of the cashrich league as barring Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), all the other six teams are in fray to make the last four stage with one game to spare for each of them. As
things stand, the race for play-offs will go down to the wire and the final standing would be decided only after the last league stage match between Delhi Daredevils (DD) and Royal Challengers (RCB) is played on May 22. A lot of calculations will go on for the next two days. We jot down all possible options and how the teams can make the cut for playoffs. Gujarat Lions have got their captain, Suresh Raina back in the team
and back in form and they look better poised than Mumbai to win the game. Hyderabad have a strong pace battery but the game against KKR is at Eden Gardens where the hosts will most likely produce a turning track to get the better of their opponents. So the home conditions give KKR a slight edge over SRH. While RCB are on a roll and with Chris Gayle finally scoring big, the red brigade are the favourites to beat Delhi.

IPL 2016: Absence of Ashish Nehra has hurt SRH, says Eoin Morgan
Agency | New Delhi Turns out, women watch more pornography after getting married, while the opposite is the case with men. Married men watch less porn after marriage, research has suggested. A team of researchers interviewed a hundred married men and women to establish how behaviour and attitudes towards sexuality change before and after marriage. Of female participants, 9% reported viewing pornography before marriage while 28% said they viewed it after marriage. The reverse trend was noted in married men; with 23% saying they viewed it before marriage while 14% viewed it after marriage. The study also measured married couples’ preference for sexual acts, divided by gender and found that 13% of men and 12% of women specified penetrative vaginal sex as preferred.

Agency | Raipur Sunrisers Hyderabad batsman Eoin Morgan said absence of paceman Ashish Nehra hurt them badly as they suffered a narrow defeat against Delhi Daredevils. Nehra, who made an impact this season with his consistent line and length and speed, has been ruled out of the IPL with a hamstring injury. “Obviously it was a big blow missing Ashish. He was injured
after the first game of Bangalore. So (Barinder) Sran came in then and did really well. It was a quite easy transition for him. Today he took wickets for us.. so whole credit to him,” Morgan said at the post match conference here. The England cricketer also felt that his team missed opportunities. “Yes we had chances… I mean the tough lesson learned,” he said. Daredevils defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by six
wickets in their crucial Indian Premier League match here at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium last night. On a query over David Warner’s captaincy, Morgan said, “… every individual has his own unique way of leading and David is a little bit different to mine. But David works, certainly I believe in, mine works. So simple, to do what you believe in and what is your strength…”

planning to rope in other skilled workers like like painters, masons, welders, drivers etc. A senior official from the Labour & Employment Department, who requested anonymity, said, “There is a dearth of skilled/certified labourers in various sectors. However, the dearth is there
because most workers are informally trained and their data is not available with the government since they are part of the unorganised sector. If you go by national average, 93 per cent of labourers of various skills, including plumbing, are not formally trained and hence their data is not available. Similar is the situation in Gujarat. So, we are trying to get those informally trained workers into the mainstream so that they have more opportunities and the industry has skilled labourers. They know the skill, but don’t have the recognition.”
