Unfazed by the growing debate over the most suitable batting slot for him in the Test line-up, his customary number 5 or one-down where he batted in the last two Tests in Sri Lanka, Ajinkya Rahane says he relishes to bat out-side his comfort zone. “I take it as it comes. I really enjoyed batting at number three in Sri Lanka. I got a hundred there (at no. 3) and we won the (second) Test match,” said the Mum-baikar today.

How much more is yet to be seen. I cannot accurately tell you the figure.

7/11 Mumbai Train blasts :12 guilty

Nine years after seven bombs ripped through the lifeline of Mumbai, those injured in the serial blasts have picked up the pieces. As they struggle past nightmares from the evening of July 11, they said government’s apathy is not making things any better. Mahendra Pitale, who lost his left hand in the blasts, said he has still not got a job he was promised with the Rail-ways, even after his med-ical test was done in 2010. “I applied for the job in 2009 and I am still be-ing asked for documents. I have lost all hopes and have started looking for another job. I specialise in designing and for that I need both my hands. It is very difficult for me to find work in my field of specialisation,” he said.

Pitale added that some victims, who applied for work in the railways, got the jobs; the rest, like him, are still struggling. Alwyn D’Cunha, a man-ager with an automobile company in Dadar, is still waiting for the gov-ernment to reimburse his medical bills that ran into lakhs after both his hands were injured in the blasts. “When I was shifted to Lilavati Hospital, the state government took care of my medical bills for a month. But then they stopped paying attention and told me that after the first time I got discharged from the hospital, it is no longer their responsibility to pay the bills. This de-spite the doctors saying I needed further treat-ment. My medical bills amount to Rs 5 lakh,” he said. D’Cunha went to

court against the author-ities to have his medical bills reimbursed and won the case. “In court, they argued why I went to a hospital like Lilavati and not to a municipal hospi-tal. This is the kind of at-titude they have towards the victims,” he said. The 45-year-old though has not received the compen-sation amount; each time the authorities tell him they are short of funds. “The Railways offered me a job of a peon – this is the kind of humiliation I was subjected to,” he said. Life has changed in so many ways for D’Cunha; even his daily commute has not been the same. “Every day when I take the train to work, I look around sus-piciously, should there be any unclaimed baggage in the compartment,” he

QUOTE OF THE

DAYThe Bollywood gender age gapLast month, Karan Johar announced that 22-year-old Alia Bhatt would play the romantic interest of 49-year-old Shah Rukh Khan in English Vinglish director Gauri Shinde’s second movie. The 27-year age gap seems large but is not all that sur-prising, nor is it the widest. Ever so often Bolly-wood draws inspiration from Hollywood, so does this study. GraphJoy, an American data visuali-sation web site, analysed the gender age gap in Hollywood here . Mint’s Bollywood study looks at 925 movies released (and yet to be released) between 1990 and 2015, and which featured 20 top male stars. The analysis shows the median age gap between male leads and their romantic inter-est keeps widening as the men grow older. Ami-tabh Bachchan and Sunny Deol are the actors who have the widest gaps with their female co-stars and not surprisingly are two of the oldest actors in this sample. Simply put, even as male actors grow older, the ages of their romantic interests remain practically unchanged. Due to this, the la-dies really start to fall behind the men in terms of age once the men cross 35. When male leads are under 35, the median age gap is a believable five years. However, this leaps up to nearly 13 years once the men cross 35. These ages are represented by the black line separating the blue and orange boxes in the accompanying chart. For ages under 35, Shahid Kapoor has the lowest median age gap of 1 year represented by the lower end of the box on the left. Govinda and Shahrukh Khan have the highest median gap of nine years, shown by the upper end of the box on the left. For this catego-ry, the age gap varies from 13 years (represented by the end of the lower bar stemming from the left box) when Saif Ali Khan tried to woo Dimple Kapadia in Being Cyrus to 15 years (represented by the end of the upper bar stemming from the left box) when Sanjay Dutt romanced Raveena Tandon in Zamane se kya darna. For older-than-35 cat-egory, the range varies from 13 to 30 years. The last number stems from three movies. I Love New Year pairs Sunny Deol with Kangana Ranaut . In Policegiri, Sanjay Dutt was paired with a 3-decade younger Prachi Desai and in Waqt, Shefali Shah plays the wife of Amitabh Bachchan. Note that this analysis excludes Nishabd and Cheeni Kum where the script calls for a huge age difference for the main roles. It also does not count Black where Am-itabh Bachchan is Rani Mukherjee’s teacher. For ages over 35, Hrithik Roshan and Abhishek Bach-chan have the lowest median age gap of nine years.

The buzz for the Farhan Akhtar starring film Rock On 2 is being realised in the media. The film has Shraddha Kapoor. Well Farhan Akhtar and Shrad-dha Kapoor are coming together opposite the first time so many people were seen wondering if Rock On 2 was a love story between the two. But the fact is, it is just the opposite. As per the sources, we have some gist of the story, which claims that the film is not a love story between the lead stars. In fact, you will find her as the new member in their band called magic with the demise of one of the members in the band.

This simply means that Prachi Desai would be seen again in the film playing the character of Farhan the lady who brought back the band together and old friends as well in the prequel. How-ever, the source claims that the character of Shraddha seems more promising and pivotal than Prachi Desai. The movie would revolve around the life surrounding the band and have feature a couple of other members who have joined the band. As per reports, the film is slated to go on floor this September and will be made in places like Shil-long and Mumbai, while the filmmakers are plan-ning to release the sequel next August.

Punjabi film ‘The Mas-termind Jinda Sukha’, which was set to be re-leased on September 11, has been banned in India. The film, which is based on lives of the assassins of former Army General Arun Kumar Vaidya, was previously granted clear-ance from the Censor Board on July 24, but has now been banned after the union home ministry and intelligence bureau

(IB) raised objections. While speaking to HT, director of the movie, Sukhjinder Singh, said, “The advisory commit-tee of the Censor Board called us on Tuesday for a meeting in Mumbai. They told us they had re-ceived a letter from the home ministry and IB raising objections to the release of the film. They felt the movie would hurt the religious sentiments of people leading to riot like situations. As a pre-

cautionary measure the board decided to ban our film,” added the director.The director made offers of cutting scenes there were objections against. “Although we offered to cut scenes which they had objections with but on Wednesday they denied this as well. There has been no objection raised by the board in releas-ing the film overseas - so we would be releasing it abroad on the scheduled date,” he asserts.

Director Nikhil Advani’s Hero revives the famous dialogue from Subhash Ghai’s Hero (1983) at a crucial juncture in the film and IG Shrikant Mathur (Tigmanshu Dhu-lia) responds to it in the next shot. The expression on Dhulia’s face imme-diately reminds us of his iconic Gangs Of Was-seypur dialogue, “Beta humko tumhare lachchan theek nahi lag rahe hain. Tum se na ho payega.” And, you, in all proba-bility, would agree with him. After a carefully

planned media campaign, Sooraj Pancholi (Sooraj Kaushik) and Athiya Shetty (Radha Mathur) are finally here, in a sto-ry that’s still stuck in the ‘90s. Radha is your reg-ular Hindi film heroine who doesn’t care for the repercussions of her ac-tions because her father is the Inspector General of Police in Mumbai. Such a heroine creates the scope for a ‘hero’ who will tame, test and love her, in that order. Isn’t this what Hindi film writers have been doing for years? So, the two meet, sparks fly,

songs happen and now the father of the girl is after the boy’s life. Of course, they have eloped by now. But, the poor guy’s problems just don’t end here. Sooraj’s godfa-ther and jailed politician Pasha (Aditya Pancholi) has sworn to track the lovebirds down without knowing that our man has already earned more ene-mies than the expressions on his face. It turns into a multi-cornered battle from here on and the au-dience soon stops caring for any of the involved parties.

He should have known the consequences of doing such ads.” The complaint, filed by so-cial activist Jayakumar Hiremath, had alleged that Dhoni was seen on the cover of a busi-ness magazine as Lord Vishnu, holding several things, including a shoe in his hands. The High Court had said, “These celebrities are only sign-ing ads without any re-sponsibility. Their aim is to earn easy money without considering the problems it may create.”

Ser-vices of the toll free num-ber (1800233330) will be available across the state. “It will have eight full-time counselors and one senior counselor who will intervene if required. Moreover, we’ve also collaborated with Gand-hinagar-based psycholo-gists and psychiatrists to extend help,” said a cop. Hasmukh Patel, inspector general of police of Gand-hinagar range, said that

police have earlier exper-imented with the concept successfully in Surat. “We intend to popular-ize the number through banners at spots such as Narmada canal as sui-cide prevention measure. There is always hope for anyone and we wish to reach out to the citizens to address their difficulties,” he said. Earlier, number at Surat had nominal charge for the usage, whereas the new number is free of cost. The officials said that there is a plan to in-crease number of exist-ing lines (three channels) in a phase-wise manner depending on the traffic it observes. The officials said that the counselors are trained to address specific issues such as anxiety before exams and results for the students.

Nano’s drive to Sanand from jinxed Singur in 2008 marked the begin-ning of Narendra Mo-di’s image-makeover - a divisive figure to the `Good M’, as Ratan Tata described him. While a one-word (Welcome!) SMS to Tata swung the project to Gujarat, many consider Modi lucky that the small car failed to enthuse the market. Reason: Modi’s largesse to bring the beleaguered project to Gujarat would have cost the state ex-chequer a bomb had the car clicked. Estimates say that at full-steam production, the sops would cost Gujarat gov-ernment over Rs 30,000 crore over 20 years. That never happened be

AMUL has been listed as India’s Most Attractive Dairy-Diversified (F&B) brand. However, the brand dropped 45 ranks from last year and be-came India’s 63rd Most Attractive Brand this year. It holds its pride by being the only reign-ing brand in the butter sub-category. These rev-elations were a result of India’s Most Attractive Brands 2015 Report, the second in its series, is the result of comprehen-sive primary research conducted on the pro-prietary 36-traits of At-tractiveness Matrix of TRA (formerly known as Trust Research Advi-sory). N. Chandramouli, CEO, TRA, commenting on the findings of the re-port said, “Gujarat has a deep and long tradition of business.

Gujarat high court on Thursday directed the state government to pro-vide more information about the existence of commercial structures in different buffer zones, as per the new eco-tourism policy for Gir sanctuary, the last abode of Asiatic lions. The division bench had earlier sought to know the number of commer-cial structures that existed in the 10-km buffer zone around the sanctuary. The government had submit-ted the data by filing four different affidavits, but the court insisted that the figures should be provid-ed in terms of how many structures exist in which zone. The judges com-mented that the existence of the structures within 1-km zone from the sanc-tuary is illegal and the

It all began when Ravi Patel, a 30-year-old In-dian-American invest-ment banker turned Hol-lywood actor, pestered by his parents on a long flight to India to get mar-ried, agreed to search for his bride the “desi” way. And Ravi’s sister Geeta, just out of making a war zone documentary about Kashmir, now learning to handle the camera, started filming “half seriously” the “fami-ly affair” to find a desi partner for Ravi, who had just broken with his white girlfriend of two years. How what began as a family vacation video eventually turned into a hilarious roman-tic documentary about arranged marriages is an equally heartbreak-ing story as the sibling co-directors of “Meet the Patels” relate it. “When

equally under parental pressure to get married. Many a film and media shows “depict arranged marriages and semi-ar-ranged marriages in In-dian culture more like a joke – like parents are weird, that kind of thing”. “We didn’t see it that way. We felt like our parents (married through this ‘desi’ sys-tem) were the happiest people we knew,” Geeta said. “We were kind of torn because we wanted that happiness, but we didn’t know what pro-cess was really good for us to get there.”

cause Nano sales are not even 10% of the planned capacity of 250,000 cars per year. Its sales in 2014-15 were a mea-gre 16,903 units. In the last three years, Ta ta Motors has been given Rs 479.50 crore loan against VAT paid by the company . According to sources, a claim of an-oth er Rs 150 crore loan against VAT is pending. The figure would have run into thousands of crores of rupees if the car sales had met the

lofty projections. Hav-ing failed to revive a flagging Nano, Tata Motors has demanded afresh last week that the enviable sops be ex-tended to other car mod-els it plans to manufac-ture from Sanand. Under added pressure, after the recent flight of General Motors to Maharashtra, Gujarat government finds itself in a Catch-22 situa-tion: if it agrees to Tata’s terms, other auto compa-nies like Ford and Maruti would demand the same.

The court also al-lowed five Congress par-ty MLAs to join the pro-ceedings as party. They have objected to certain provisions of the new eco-tourism policy that says that villagers should approach a newly formed

government committee even to build a residential house. They have urged that the earlier provision of obtaining permission from local civic bodies should be restored. The high court comment-ed that it would not in-volve itself in granting or refusing permission to sealed units because it would appear as if the court was driving the policy. The judges also said that they were ex-amining the policy.

to pervade the national consciousness. Gujarat is a place that everyone looks up to, not just for governance or quality of life, but also for the qual-ity of brands that emerge from here. The brands from the state too are in a high point of the evo-lutionary cycle in terms of perception.” Sintex (all-India 355th rank) leads as India’s Most Attractive Brand in the Manufacturing-Diversi-fied Category followed by Finolex (all-India 924th rank). Ajanta is a fore-runner in the Home Care Category and correspond-ingly is the lone leader in

the Clocks Sub-category. Yet another brand from the region, Symphony (All-India 643rd rank) has been ranked as the Most Attractive Brand in the Coolers Sub-cat-egory of the Durable list. Gujarat’s love for food is reflected in the number of brands in the F&B Category. This has subsequently boosted the ratings of the cat-egory and has made it the largest in Gujarat. Fortune Food Products from Adani Wilmar ranks 316th in its All In-dia Rankings and is the sole leader in the F&B- Diversified Category.
