Agency | Sydney Manish Pandey struck his maiden one-day century in a high-scoring thriller to secure India a pride-salvaging six-wicket victory against Australia in the fifth and final ODI in Sydney on Saturday. Staring at a series whitewash after four defeats, India rode Pandey’s scintillating 104 off 81 balls to chase down a 331-run victory target with two balls to spare. Centuries from David Warner (122) and Mitchell
Marsh (102) helped Australia post 330-7 but Pandey’s knock in his only fourth one-dayer clinched the contest for India. India needed a strong start from their openers to stay on course to chase down such a big total and the visitors got just that from Shikhar Dhawan (78) and Rohit Sharma (99). Dhawan posted his third successive 50-plus score and Rohit fell agonisingly short of his third century in the series as they raised 123 runs in 18.2 overs. John Hast-
ings dismissed Dhawan and Virat Kohli (eight) in quick successions to halt India’s progress and Rohit left leaving India needing exactly 100 runs from 91 balls to win the contest. With the required run-rate skyrocketing and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (34) struggling to time the ball at the other end, Pandey’s crisp hitting left India needing 13 runs off the last over from Marsh. Marsh began with a wide and had his next hit out of the ground by Dho-

ni but the Indian captain fell immediately to inject fresh drama in the contest. Pandey, however, was unfazed and he hit the next ball for a boundary to first complete his century and then scurried for two for the winning run. Earlier, Warner struck his fifth ODI century and Mitchell Marsh notched up his first to set up yet another runfest in a series that has provided 3,159 runs. India’s much-maligned bowlers did well to reduce Australia to 117-4 in the 22nd over before Warner and Marsh combined to add 118 runs in
17.3 overs. Warner had fallen seven runs short of a century in Wednesday’s fourth ODI at Canberra but there was no such heartbreak this time as the southpaw brought up his run-a-ball century. The 27-year-old opener was eventually dismissed for 122, that included thee sixes and nine boundaries, but Marsh carried on to remain not out on 102 off 84 balls. For India, Jasprit Bumrah made an impressive debut, the right-arm paceman with an unorthodox bowling action sending down 10 tidy overs to claim 2-40 with some tight death bowling. Pandey was adjudged manof-the-match, while team mate Rohit won the manof-the-series award for the 441 runs he amassed in five matches.

Its yearning for a space beyond power and rancour
After reading Rohith Vemula’s letter, it felt both impossible and indecent to write anything on the tragic end to his life. His poignant, electrifyingly clear, and horrifically moving testament deserved to be the last word. To write on him in a way that claimed to understand or explain would be to deny him, even in death, every value that the letter exemplified. His was a testament against our age: An age, to use Matthew Arnold’s words, of “sick hurry and divided aims”. In an age that marked him by identity, he articulated a profound individuality; in an age of the self over determined by sociology, he sought genuine freedom; in an age deep in muck, he reached out for the stars; in an age of over interpretation, he sought to set the terms of his own meaning; and in an age of easy moralism, he transcended the confines of moral language. He sought to escape to the stars. But he underestimated this culture that fogs and clouds even the stars. It is difficult to pretend to “know” the trajectory that brought him to this point. It is always a tricky thing to connect large sociological explanations to an individual act. There is no right register in which to write about him. Here was a soul determined not to be used; determined to be himself. Every cause at stake in this debate, caste politics, intolerance, university hierarchies, discrimination and alienation, is at one level understandable. Yet every cause in which he is enlisted threatens to mutilate his striving in some significant way. All we can do is reflect on the effects of his letter on us: The sense in which it makes us feel empty. It would be a truly obdurate soul that on reading his letter did not feel a sense of meaningless futility. How could so promising and thoughtful a voice, as evidenced by his letter, how could so wilful and full of life a person, as evidenced by his personal struggle, end with this sense of emptiness? There is a genuine and disconcerting calmness in the tone. But it is a calm that haunts us because it is the calm of a void, where suddenly all dreams and desires lose their lustre, even resentments give us no reason to live.

Agency | New Delhi
Then he says something to the effect of ‘Haan, log mere papa ko bhi Shakti Kapoor hi samajhte hain.’ This is probably the best attempt at humour in a film that takes the dirty route to establishing the premise of a porn-com – which, incidentally, is what the film promoters have been calling it. Kanhaiyya (Tusshar Kapoor) is a good-for-nothing guy who gets kicked out of his house by his business tycoon father (who else? Shakti Kapoor). Meghna Naidu (Kaliyon Ka Chaman, remember?) is Tusshar’s aunt and stepmother. Rocky (Aftab Shivdasani) is his ‘chuddy-buddy’, literally. Very soon, Kanhaiyya’s
Two things in Airlift will make your jaw drop. First, the story itself — in 1990, when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, he made instant refugees of the approximately 1.7 lakh Indians who lived there. Overnight, homes, businesses and properties evaporated and once-wealthy expatriates were left struggling to survive in a war zone. A few good men took the lead, organised the Indian community and engineered an escape to Amman in Jordan, where the Indian government airlifted them in Air India planes. It was the largest civilian evacuation in history. But somehow it got buried and became
a footnote instead of a headline. The second surprise is Akshay Kumar. This, I think, is his finest hour. There is little trace of the superstar swagger. Instead we get a man who is broken and vulnerable. The character of Ranjit Katyal is a composite of two Indian businessmen in Kuwait who turned saviours when the war broke out. Ranjit is a hero who feels fear and desperation. Even in the
action scenes, there is zero posturing. Big props to Akshay for putting his heart and might behind such an unconventional project, and to director Raja Krishna Menon for showcasing a story that had been lost on the sidelines.Kumud Mishra does nicely as a bureaucrat who becomes an unlikely hero. So does Prakash Belawadi, who plays a cantankerous, constantly complaining refugee.
Collaborating for a third time (after Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle) with the cast of Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro, writer-director David O Russell’s quirky new film chronicles the tumultuous journey of a young woman who proved everyone wrong by single-handedly building up a business empire. Joy (Lawrence) is a single mother living in a rundown house with her dysfunctional family. Besides grandma and Joy’s two children, there’s her divorced mother who spends all her time watching TV soap operas, and her ex-husband (Edgar Ramirez), a penniless singer who dreams of be-
ing the next Tom Jones and meanwhile resides in the basement. Just when you thought life couldn’t possibly get more crowded, her domineering father (De Niro) fetches up after being discarded by his girlfriend. Things go from bad to worse when the wannabe entrepreneur struggles to persuade the executive (Cooper) of a home shopping cable network to peddle her first patented invention: a user-friendly mop. The director is
not always successful in weaving the interplay between the diverse characters. The introduction of a Haitian plumber provides meagre comic relief but he is quickly shoved to the sidelines, as is Joy’s young son, who is barely glimpsed. The occasional use of dream sequences and flashbacks, particularly to Joy’s courtship and marriage, are jarring. But Russell draws out expert performances from the ensemble.
grandmother catches Rocky getting his rocks off to pornography – a development that kills her, quite literally. This prompts them to meet their Thailand-based friend Mickey (Krushna), who would rather refer to his place of residence as ‘Thai-land’. Ok, let’s not get there. So, the two end up joining the porn busi-
ness, which recreates popular Bollywood films as per their requirements. For example, Singham becomes Lingam and Kick turns into Lick, so on and so forth. But Kanhaiyya’s life turns upside down when his eyes land on Shaalu (Mandana Karimi), the daughter of Surya Karjatya (Darshan Jariwala).
nor changes in the film. Censor board chief Pahlaj Nihalani had earlier demanded 11 cuts in the Priyanka Chopra-starrer action drama and had threatened Jha to give the film an ‘A’ certificate if necessary changes were
not made. Jha said the tribunal on Friday watched the movie and called it “powerful” and so decided not to disrupt it with unnecessary alterations. “There are just two cuts now but they are very minor. They asked me to just tone down little bit. He (Nihalani) had asked for 11 cuts. Now, we have been allowed everything including the language. There are no objections,” Jha said. “The tribunal appreciated the film and called it a very powerful movie. They said they don’t want to disrupt it.” Jai Gangaajal is a sequel to Jha’s 2003 hit Gangaajal, which starred Ajay Devgn.

Agency | New Delhi Typing fast may help you meet your deadlines early, but it will affect the quality of your work in a negative manner. According to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Waterloo, people write better while typing slowly. For the purpose of the study particpants were asked by researchers to type essays using both hands or with only one. With the usage of text-analysis software, the researchers discovered that some aspects of essay writing, such as sophistication of vocabulary, improved when participants used only one hand to type. “Typing can be too fluent or too fast and can actually impair the writing process,” said Srdan Medimorec, researcher in the faculty of arts at Waterloo and lead author of a paper appeared in the British Journal of Psychology. The results led the researchers to speculate that slowing down participants’ typing by asking them to use only one hand, allowed more time for internal word search, resulting in a larger variety of words. Fast typists may have simply written the first word that came to mind. “This is the first study to show that when you interfere with people’s typing, their writing can get better,” said professor Evan F. Risko.
It was the perfect day for Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, who won both her women’s and mixed doubles matches to progress at the Australian Open on Saturday. Playing on Show Court 2, women’s doubles top seeds Sania and Martina Hingis needed only an hour and three minutes to beat Ukrainian sisters Lyudmyla and Nadiia Kichenok 6-2, 6-3 to enter the third round at Melbourne Park. Later in the day, Sania returned to play her mixed doubles opening match with Croatian partner Ivan Dodig on the same court. The top seeds again had a straight sets victory, beating local pair of Ajla Tomljanovic and Nick Kyrgios 7-5, 6-1 in 59 minutes. This time too, Sania’s team proved far

better than the Australian pair. Sania and Ivan earned as many as 14 breakpoint chances, though converting only four. But that was more than enough to seal the match in only two sets. In addition, they also hit 34 winners, double that of Ajla and Nick! In comparison, the local team could win only one breakpoint out of the five chances they got. Also, three double faults during the match did not help their cause. Sania and Ivan will take on Kazakh-Paki-
stani pairing of Yaroslava Shvedova and AisamUl-Haq Qureshi in the second round. In juniors action, India’s Karman Kaur Thandi defeated Australian Olivia Gadecki 6-3, 6-4 on Court 10 in her opening girls’ singles match and will face Hungarian Panna Udvardy next. In the same category, Karman’s compatriot Pranjala Yadlapalli, seeded 10th, defeated Japan’s Mayuka Aikawa 6-4, 5-7, 6-1 on Court 5 to move into the second round.
Pride will be at stake in ILeague’s first derby this season when bitter foes East Bengal and Mohun Bagan clash in front of a sellout crowd at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Saturday. The arch-rivals have met once earlier this season, in a Kolkata League match, when East Bengal demolished Mohun Bagan 4-0 to lift a sixth successive, and a record 37 overall title. But much water has flowed under the Howrah bridge since the two met back in September and East Bengal, for a change, will start as underdogs against Mohun Bagan, the defending champions who are on a roll with two wins on the
trot. They lead the standings and ‘revenge’ is the buzzword for them, now. Arrival of Haitian forward Sony Norde, who was instrumental in their maiden I-League triumph last season, just ahead of the big match adds sting to their already potent strike force that has scored seven goals from two matches. Balwant Singh, who has scored opening goals in two matches, is a doubtful starter owing to a groin injury. Star Indian
forward Jeje Lalpekhula may start alongside Cornell Glen, while Katsumi Yusa and Sony Norde will add value from behind as Sanjoy Sen may go with 4-4-2 formation. “Whatever the football pundits say, this match is always a 50-50 battle. I shall always respect East Bengal and holding the nerves will be the key to success,” the Mohun Bagan coach said insisting to calm down the hype in the Maidan.
