India, US to discuss ‘converging interests’ in Asia-Pacific IANS, NEW DELHI/WASHINGTON

S

trategic partners India and the United States will hold talks on defense cooperation and their “converging interests” in the Asia-Pacific region, ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the country next month.

U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel will discuss with Defense Minister Arun Jaitley strengthening bilateral defense cooperation, including co-production and codevelopment, research and new technologies, trade and military exercises.

Hagel is likely to call on the prime minister and will meet other Indian leaders during his three-day visit beginning on August 7.

Both sides will discuss the situation in Afghanistan, according to Pentagon Press Secretary Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby.

The two countries held a round of strategic dialogue this week and Hagel’s visit is another step in the American efforts to prepare for Modi’s visit to the White House next month.

Kirby said the election of the new Indian government “offers an opportunity to fulfil the potential of our strategic partnership.”

Secretary Hagel’s meetings will focus on the United States’ and India’s converging interests in the Asia-Pacific. In a wide-ranging policy speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore in May, Hagel had said his visit to India was

aimed at “transformational cooperation” with the country which is playing an “active role” in strength-

ening security in Asia.

“We welcome India’s increasingly active role in Asia’s regional

institutions, which strengthens regional order. We also welcome India’s growing defense capabilities and its commitment to freedom of navigation in the Indian Ocean.”

To further strengthen U.S.-India defense ties, “I plan to play an active and very personal role in expanding this (Defense Trade and Technology) initiative because it is a centerpiece of America’s defense cooperation with India, and it should reflect the trust and confidence President Obama and I have in our nation’s relationship with India.”Hagel will deliver a speech at the Observer Research Foundation in which he is expected to talk about the converging interests and the enormous opportunities to be capitalized upon in the region.

Rahul in action, takes jibe at Modi After Rahul Gandhi’s uncharacteristic outburst against Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggesting that “only one man’s voice counts for anything,” BJP reacts sharply IANS, NEW DELHI

C

ongress vice president Rahul Gandhi on August 6 led party MPs to the speaker’s podium to protest against the government not agreeing to an immediate discussion on the increasing communal clashes in the country.

Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an uncharacteristic way a combative Rahul gandhi said: “There is a mood in parliament that only one man’s voice counts for anything in this country and only one voice is being heard.”

As soon as the house met, the opposition parties led by the Congress raised slogans demanding a debate on the communal incidents and sought introduction of the bill against communal violence.

Minutes later, Gandhi led a group

Summons against Sonia, Rahul stalled NEW DELHI: In a major relief to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and party vice president Rahul Gandhi, the Delhi High Court on August 6 put on hold a trial court’s summons to them in the case over acquisition of the National Herald.

Justice V.P. Vaish suspended the trial court order till August 13, when it will hear arguments in the bunch of petitions filed by the Congress leaders challenging the lower court order.

Advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Sonia Gandhi, sought to quash the trial court proceedings, saying: “Every decision of the magistrate at every point is erroneous.”

“These are unfortunate proceedings against a party that is seeking to revive a newspaper, which is associated with the Congress party for over 80 years. Courts must be extremely careful in scrutinising the matter in the case,” he said. Sibal refuted Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy’s claim that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, as majority shareholders of Young Indian Ltd. (YIL), benefited from the acquisition of Associated Journals Ltd. (AJL).

He clarified that YIL was a Section 25 company, which is in the nature of a society, and its shareholders do not get any dividend, salary or benefit.

Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Rahul Gandhi, argued that the shareholders of YIL had no ownership of the properties of AJL. “The properties owned by AJL in Delhi, Mumbai, Patna, and Panchkula are under government leases, except for one property in Lucknow which is under a long-term lease to a charitable eye hospital,” Singhvi said.

of Congress parliamentarians to the speaker’s podium, following which Speaker Sumitra Mahajan adjourned the house.

Later, talking to mediapersons after coming out of the house, Gandhi accused the speaker of not allowing the opposition to speak.

“We are asking for a discussion but there is a mentality in the government that discussion is not acceptable,” Gandhi said.

Refuting Rahul’s charges, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said she was following the rules of the house and was not ignoring the opposition as was alleged by Con-

gress vice president Rahul Gandhi.

“There is a procedure laid down to run the house and I am following the rules... it is my attempt to give equal opportunities to members of all the parties in the house,” Mahajan told media persons outside parliament.

Reacting strongly to Rahul Gandhi’s attack on Prime Minister Modi, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said they were making an issue out of a non-issue. “Why has Congress made an issue of this non-issue?

Reason is clear, a section of the party, unable to lead, is facing a palace coup,” he said.

Has Modi sent Advani into exile?

Modi’s bulldozing tactics involving some of the old faithful not only herald the dawn of a new era in the BJP but also signal the end of old-world civility for the sake of cold political calculations AMULYA GANGULI, NEW DELHI

I

n the Hindu way of life, old age entails exile from home and hearth. As the Manu Smriti says, when a man sees “his skin wrinkled and his hair gray and when he sees the son of his son, then he should resort to the forest”.

Narendra Modi seems to be following this precept for the elderly in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), at least in terms of political ostracism though not in the form of banishment from the material comforts of life. While some senior citizens have been compensated for keeping their faith in the party through good times and bad times by their nomination to gubernatorial posts, others, including the more ambitious ones, have been kept waiting in the wings.

Among them are the old war horses — L.K. Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi — who had once sent shivers down secular spines by venturing forth in a ‘rath’ (chariot) to “liberate” holy shrines from Muslim possession, or rewriting history to bring it in line with the saffron interpretations of the past.

Of the two, Advani’s fate can make one ponder over the vagaries of life. Two decades ago, he was the undisputed No. 2 in the BJP if only because his fiery rhetoric as a chariot-rider was considered a disadvantage where leading a multicultural nation was concerned. So, the job of prime minister went to the man who was seen to be more in sync with India’s pluralist ethos, Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

As a believer in astrology, like most people in the saffron clan, Advani must wonder what concate-

nation of heavenly bodies ensured that the coveted prize, from which he thought he was just one step away, would elude him forever.

In politics, as in life, “there is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries”. In Advani’s case, his present marginalization reflects this waning of the tide.

From US to village India: IITian promoting rural innovation K.S.JAYARAMAN, BANGALORE

A

n IIT-Kanpur alumnus did something unusual on returning to India in the 1980s with a Ph.D. degree from the U.S. — shunning a lucrative career with a multinational to use his knowledge to develop technologies to solve problems faced by villagers. He now shares his experiences in an e-book, intended to inspire youth to follow his path. Anil K. Rajvanshi joined the Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute (NARI), an NGO working in Maharashtra’s Phaltan, after returning to India in 1981.

NARI’s work has been extensively written about and Rajvanshi is winner of several awards including the Distinguished Alumnus

Award from the University of Florida where he did his PhD. His just released e-book Romance of Innovation documents the pleasures and pains of doing research in rural India.

Rajvanshi said the e-book presents a brief history of renewable energy work carried out at NARI since 1981. Each of its six chapters, ends with a list of ideas useful for people who are planning to develop a career in research and development (R&D) for rural areas, while the last gives a roadmap for the future development of rural India On NARI’s accomplishments, he said it has “done pioneering work in all aspects of renewable energy affecting the lives of rural population like alcohol produc-

“All our rural products exploit sophisticated technology and are not the result of tinkering here and there,” Rajvanshi told IANS. Rajvanshi said the aim of the book is to inspire youngsters to enter the field of rural innovation.

“It provides them a whole list of challenging ideas for research and development (R&D) to uplift rural life,” Rajvanshi told IANS. “The book also shows that very meaningful and satisfying R&D work can be done with meagre resources and fewer people in a

small rural setting,” the former IITian added.

“I hope it will provide inspiration to other NGOs who want to do a similar type of work,” he said, adding the remarkable achievement by NARI in the face of tremendous adversity is an indication that it is possible to make progress in rural India if a large number of youngsters follow the path shown by NARI.” On why he did not make your book a priced publication, Rajvanshi said there is a “tremendous need to inspire and get bright young engineers for rural R&D” and he felt making the book available free may help in this effort.

ndian American politician Neel Kashkari, running for the post of California governor, spent a week posing as a penniless man looking for a job, in an attempt to highlight the importance of jobs in the key U.S. state’s weak economy.

The Republican is seen in a 10minute video stopping in a thrift store in California’s Fresno city, a mini-mart and a repair shop asking for work and sleeping on park benches, a report in the New York Times said.

Kashkari is the Republican Party’s candidate against current Democrat Governor Jerry Brown who is running for a fourth term as governor of

NEW YORK: Reacting to the incident of a young Sikh being hit and dragged by a truck in New York after hurling racial abuses at him, North American Punjabi Association (NAPA) has written to Congressman John Garamendy, chair, American Sikh Congressional Caucus, seeking FBI investigation into the incident.”

Sandeep Singh, 29, is stated to be in serious condition and has been admitted at a hospital in New York.

“Such incidents of hate crimes are an eye opener for all of us. After 9/11, members of the Sikh community have been innocent victims of hate crimes due to one or other reason. This requires dissemination of information about cultural, dressing and other practices of various religions in schools, colleges, churches and other social gatherings,” NAPA executive director Sat-

nam Singh Chahal wrote in his communique to Congressman Garamendy on August 4.

“This is not the first racial attack on American Sikhs. This attack on a Sikh is a hate crime and the incident should be investigated by the FBI,” Chahal wrote.

Sandeep, along with his friend Baldev Singh, was standing on the street when the driver of the truck pulled up near them.

Baldev later told that the driver yelled racial slurs at them. During the argument, Sandeep, annoyed at the driver, hit the truck with his hand. — IANS

Modi conquers hearts in Nepal

INTERNATIONAL

Friendly neighbors

The first Indian premier to make a bilateral visit to Nepal in 17 years, Narendra Modi won millions of hearts with his speech in Nepal’s parliament; visit bolsters bilateral ties

ndian Prime Minister Narendra Modi ended a historic twoday Nepal visit on a positive note, urging political leaders to work together for a new constitution and stressing the need for greater economic and strategic cooperation between the two neighboring nations that have strong civilizational ties.

The first Indian premier to make a bilateral visit to Nepal in 17 years, Modi won millions of hearts with his speech in Nepal’s parliament that was evident on August 4 as thousands poured out of their homes spontaneously to bid farewell to the visiting leader as he drove to the airport.

“Mission accomplished, PM India heads home,” tweeted external affairs ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin. “Looks like the whole of Kathmandu (is) out to

bid (him) farewell.”

President Ram Baran Yadav and political leaders of all hues hailed Modi for speaking his heart out while outlining his vision of IndiaNepal relations.

“You have won our hearts with your speech in parliament yesterday,” the president told Modi during a 15-minute meeting Monday, echoing an opinion widely reflected in the Nepalese media too.

India and Nepal on August 4 agreed to “review, adjust and update” their 1950 Treaty of Peace and Friendship and other bilateral agreements, and not to let “unscrupulous elements” misuse their open border.

A joint statement issued at the end of Modi’s visit said Nepalese Prime Minister Sushil Koirala would visit India.

The four-page statement said talks between Modi and Koirala and their delegations “were held in

an atmosphere of utmost warmth and cordiality and were marked by deep friendship and understanding”.

The two prime ministers “expressed satisfaction over the excellent state of Nepal-India relations (and) underlined the need to further explore ways to enhance sub-regional cooperation”.

On the political front, Modi asked political parties to work together for a new inclusive constitution that satisfies all sections of Nepal.

He also emphasized the need for greater economic cooperation between the two countries that share a common culture, history and civilization.

“The PM (told) leaders to work for the betterment of the nation, not for their parties,” Akbaruddin said shortly before Modi departed in his Indian Air Force plane at the head of a 75-strong delegation.

A new beginning, says PM Modi Narendra Modi mesmerizes NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 4 said India and Nepal have laid the foundation for a new relationship which will draw strength from deep ancient links between the two countries and prepare them to together address the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century. In his statement on arrival from Nepal, Modi said he felt deeply honored with the privilege to speak to the members of the himalayan nation’s Constituent Assembly and the visit had moved him.

Modi said he had returned from “two memorable days in Kathmandu” and thanked President Ram Baran Yadav, Prime Minister Sushil Koirala, political parties and people of Nepal for the “extraordinary warmth and affection” with which he was welcomed in Nepal. “It made feel as though I had come home. This experience has moved me and added another dimension to my personal relationship with Nepal,” he said. Modi said that during his visit, he felt a strong urge for “political stability and economic prosperity” for everyone he met in Nepal.

KATHMANDU: Flying in to Kathmandu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he wanted to forge a “new relationship” with Nepal that could serve as a model for regional partnership in South Asia. After his two-day visit, it is apparent he has succeeded to a large extent and opened in his own words a “new chapter” in ties with the Himalayan republic.

Modi connected well at the popular level and engaged the political leadership, holding talks not just with his counterpart Sushil Koirala but with the broad spectrum of leaders across the political divide in the country that is still struggling to establish constitutional democracy.

He unequivocally said India will respect Nepal’s sovereignty and would not interfere in its internal affairs, an accusation made especially by the Maoists. He also made it amply clear that India is all for revising and updating the 1950 Peace and Friendship Treaty, thereby taking the wind out of the sail of a large number of Nepali politicians who say it is tilted in favor of India. Modi also extended India’s helping hand in Nepal’s socio-economic development.

Aamir’s ‘PK’ in poster trouble

The poster of ‘PK’ shows the star in the nude except for a radio set IANS, MUMBAI

A

case was filed in a court in Kanpur on August 2 against Aamir Khan and the producer and director of new movie PK after its poster showed the Bollywood star in the nude except for a transistor covering his private parts.

In the complaint, lawyer Manoj Dixit accused the actor, producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra and director Rajkumar Hirani of promoting nudity and vulgarity.

The film is scheduled for release in December. The court listed the case for August 7 when the contention of the petitioner would be heard and, if needed, the producer, director and actor

Salman Khan ‘Kick’s out Aamir’s ‘3 Idiots’

MUMBAI: Priyanka Chopra, who plays the lead in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s coproduction Mary Kom, seems to be the filmmaker’s latest muse. It was Aishwarya Rai who at one time inspired Sanjay Leela Bhansali to make a trilogy of great films — Devdas, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Guzaarish. Even Priyanka especially flew into Mumbai to attend the first-look event for Mary Kom and to attend a special birthday party hosted by the filmmaker for her recently. A source close to Bhansali said: “Never in his life would Sanjay have dreamt of hosting a party for anyone in his house. In fact, he has never had a party in his house.”

S

ajid Khan’s Kick has entered the prestigious `2000 million club and toppled a few records on the way. The film smashed Aamir Khan-starrer 3 Idiots tally in the Indian market, making it Salman Khan’s biggest hit in the domestic market. This is also Salman’s biggest hit in the domestic market. Kick, which also features Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Jacqueline Fernandes, Nargis Fakhri and Mithun Chakraborty, made record opening collections of `264 million — the highest this year.

‘Entertainment’ is Akki’s ‘buddy for life’ MUMBAI: Akshay Kumar is not known to fraternize with his co-stars beyond the sets and locations, but the Bollywood star has made an exception for his furry friend from the movie Entertainment.

As one of Akshay’s most favorite co-stars Katrina Kaif once said: “He is a lot like me.

We are both very friendly on the sets. But after pack-up, we like to head straight home.”

will be served notice to appear before it.

The petitioner said Aamir Khan has considerable influence on the youth of today and any such act would only tempt youths to emulate him, thereby threatening the social order.

This in turn, he added, would lead to cases of sexual offenses.

Many newspapers had printed posters of the forthcoming movie in which Aamir Khan is reportedly playing an alien. Meanwhile, the PK poster seems inspired or rather copied from a poster, which was released by a Portuguese musician named Quim Barreiros way back in 1973.

The musician had released the poster for his album’s promotions where he uses an accordion to hide his private parts. In his PK poster we see Aamir Khan pose the same way behind a stereo system.

PeeCee new muse of Sanjay Leela Bhansali?

That’s no longer true. On the sets of Entertainment, Akshay found a new buddy.

Speaking fondly of the doggie, Akshay said: “His name in the film is ‘Entertainment’ and he and I will be buddies for life.”

“I would spend a lot of time off-camera playing with him.

As soon as he accepted it, we were pals and not just costars. He’d let me sleep on his belly at break times.”

urprises, they say, come in small packages. I went into this odd-sounding film Amit Sahni Ki List, honestly, with zero expectations. I came out pleasantly surprised, bathed in the scent of an ambrosial rom-com filled with endearing nooks and corners secreting a kind of cosmic view of man-woman relationship that affords both humor and sadness.

The rom-com as genre is perpetually misunderstood and misinterpreted in Bollywood.

Not this time.

Okay, so what’s the list about?

It’s a to-do thingy prepared by our everyman-hero, a regular highincome guy on Facebook, played by the very engaging Vir Das. Amit has put together a list (yes, an actual handwritten list) of the qualities that he wants in his soul-mate.

Life of course has other plans.

Before he meets his Dream Woman (or DW, as Amit’s acronym-obsessed mom would say), he runs into the adventurous

An uncluttered, elegantly narrated rom- com about an flawed hero bohemian dog-loving bungeejumping Mala (Vega Tamotia).

Their courtship is done with a colorful candor that is not blindingly romantic. The couple sing, dance, run across fields...but with a warning signal playing somewhere invisibly saying, “Babe, bumps ahead”. Suffice it to say that the dips and curves in the narrative all add up to an experience that leaves

us smiling and sometimes chuckling. Amit Sahni Ki List is not a great piece of cinema. It doesn’t aspire to have any lofty heights of tragic romanticism (a la “Ek Villain”). It is what it is. An uncluttered, elegantly narrated rom-com about an inherently flawed hero, so confused about his aspirations as a romantic entity that he ends up wallowing in the kind of giddy romanticism that he probably abhors in the movies that he sees.

As directed by Ajay Bhuyan (some significant talent here), the life and loves of Amit Sahni is both a celebration and mockery of romantic idealism.

I am bored of questions about Salman: Shah Rukh MUMBAI: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan seems to be fed up with questions on his rival Salman Khan and says he is bored of it now. When asked whether Salman ever gifted him a painting as he is a better painter, Shah Rukh said: “It’s an old question now and we have hugged each other and we are friends. It’s been too many years now that you all are asking me the same question ... I am bored now.”

The actor also took a dig at Aamir Khan starrer PK film’s poster at the announcement of the Got Talent World Stage Live.

When the host of the show Mini Mathur asked Shah Rukh if he wanted to show his hidden talent under his belt which was not known to the people yet and he wanted to show the world, SRK said: “Now it’s getting vulgar...show the world what you have under the belt (laughs)...muje aisa laga PK poster ki baat kar rahe hai hum.”

When a reporter asked whether Shah Rukh has seen Aamir’s talent by shedding his clothes on PK poster, SRK said: “Idhar talent bola teek hai but isse talent mat bolna.”

Aamir Khan’s PK poster shows the actor in the buff holding a radio set.

Nimrat Kaur lands role in US series ‘Homeland’ MUMBAI: Indian actor Nimrat Kaur, who rose to fame with The Lunchbox last year, has now bagged a role in American TV series Homeland.

Bobby Jasoos actor Ali Fazal was also approached for a role in Homeland, but due to clash of dates he had to let go of the offer. And now, Nimrat is the Indian face who will be seen in the hit TV show. “Pretty fun for someone who watched the pilot after the screen test! Season 4 HOMELAND it is,” Nimrat tweeted. Mark Moses and Art Malik will also join the drama.

I deserve it: Kangana on hiking her fees MUMBAI: Rumors are abuzz that Kangana Ranaut, who is riding high on the success of her last hit Queen, has hiked her fee by 50 percent. The actress says she chose to hike her fees as she believes she deserves it. “I have been working for the last seven years and analyzing whatever I have earned till date in this profession, I think I deserve and so I am demanding money.”

Nargis to walk the ramp at IBFW 2014

Nothing sustains forever:

Kailash on Yo Yo NEW DELHI: Yo Yo Honey Singh’s rap songs are a rage, but people have also criticized them for their crass lyrics. Playback singer and composer Kailash Kher feels it’s all a phase as every place has “good and bad things” and “Hindi music industry has quality content too”.

Asked about his reaction to Honey Singh’s popularity amongst youth, Kher told IANS: “It’s no big deal, it is a phase, it will also pass on. What happens is we make too many opinions and judgments about things. Nothing survives and nothing sustains forever except love and purity.

“Today we are in one phase, tomorrow we will be in another. Whatever you are marketing or writing about too much, would also reflect in creating the phase. People are liking and disliking everything and anything.

“There are good and bad things today. If the type of music you are naming is being loved, then rest of the musicians should be at home and should be unemployed,” the singer-composer said.

India should be happy with CWG returns With 15 gold, 30 silver and 19 bronze, India bagged 64 medals and came fifth in the tally; England topped with 58 gold VETURI SRIVATSA, NEW DELHI

f you take away 2010 New Delhi, the benchmark for India at the Commonwealth Games has been 2002 Manchester when they crossed the 50-medal mark for the first time by ending up with 69 medals, 30 of them gold.

Before the Indians left for Glasgow, the expectations were pegged at somewhere between Manchester tally and 2006 Melbourne where they touched exactly 50. So, 64 should be taken as a reasonably happy figure, considering the turmoil the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has gone through over the last four years.

Sushil Kumar and Yogeshwar Dutt made sure that Indian wrestling continues to be on the upswing and, in all, five gold and six silver and two bronze were sure-

Charges dropped against officials GLASGOW: India’s two sports officials, who were arrested on August 2, were released two days later after charges against them were dropped .

Indian Olympic Association (IOA) secretary general Rajeev Mehta was arrested for driving without a valid licence while senior international referee Virender Malik was arrested on charges of sexual assault.

The charges were dropped after senior Indian officials intervened and the matter didn’t come up for hearing at the Sheriff’s court. They were not part of the Indian contingent for the Commonwealth Games but were in Glasgow in their official capacity.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

Modi set to unfurl tricolor at Red Fort Prime Minister’s focus in the August 15 address from the iconic Red Fort is expected to be on infrastructure development, skill development, job creation, control of inflation and building of 100 ‘smart’ cities across country IANS, NEW DELHI

P

rime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to choose Hindi over English when he addresses the nation after unfurling the tricolor from the ramparts of historic Red Fort on August 15.

The Prime Minister has already made it clear that he wants to speak in Hindi during his conversation with all foreign delegates.

He has already said that as Modi speaks to world leaders over the next few months and addresses the United Nations General Assembly at the end of September, the language he will be speaking is not the Queen’s language but Hindi.

Many of his core supporters in the Bharatiya Janata Party are in favor of “Modi being Modi” and speaking in Hindi, the official added.

“Backing his likely adoption of Hindi as his language of diplomatic communication, officials say Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe speaks English fluently but only speaks in Japanese in official diplomatic engagements. Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang is also comfortable in English but prefers to speak in Chinese with world

Modi’s first address to nation from Red Fort will be watched keenly as he has outlined that his priority area would be ‘good governance’ he was foreign minister in the Morarji Desai-led Janata Dal government in the late 1970s.

Meanwhile, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares for his maiden Independence Day address, various ministries have been asked to furnish by this month end details of programs in different sectors which could form part of his

speech, possibly in the form of announcements.

The Prime Minister’s focus in the August 15 address from the iconic Red Fort is expected to be on infrastructure development, skill development, job creation, control of inflation and building of 100 smart cities across the country.

The Finance Ministry has written to other ministries and departments asking them to outline the roadmap for implementation of the Budget proposals and new schemes that could be launched, sources said here today.

The Cabinet secretariat will assess these inputs and important decisions will be taken before August 10 regarding what will form part of the address, the sources said.

Modi’s first address to the nation from the historic monument will be watched keenly as he has outlined that his priority areas would be ‘good governance’ and development, the planks on which BJP got a landslide victory in the Lok Sabha elections.

Outlining its vision in the President’s Address to Parliament, the Modi government had said it will revive ‘Brand India’, riding on its strengths of five ‘T’s — tradition, talent, tourism, trade and technology — and pursue foreign policy on the basis of “enlightened nationalism” and mutually beneficial relationships.

Higher growth returns to Indian IT industry IANS, NEW DELHI

T

he resilient $270-billion plus Indian IT industry returned to the higher growth trajectory and is hoping to gain momentum in the coming months for a greater share of the global multi-billion dollar outsourcing market.

The industry consolidated its presence in the software services sector, with its top four IT bellwethers — TCS, Infosys, Wipro and HCL — posting better results to register a healthy 12-14 percent growth thus far as against 10 percent last fiscal (2012-13).

“We have seen a significant increase in global technology spending this year, creating opportunities for the Indian software services sector to post double digit growth again in export as well as in the domestic markets,” a top industry representative said.

The National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) is expecting the industry to clock export rev-

enues of $84-87 billion this fiscal as against $76 billion last fiscal.

In the Indian market, the industry is, expected to grow marginally year-on-year at 14 percent to post `1.2 trillion this fiscal from `1.05 trillion last fiscal. “We have decided not to revise our estimates and stick to the 12-14 percent growth forecast for this fiscal though the sector has faced headwinds due to slow recovery in its major export markets — the U.S. and Europe,” Nasscom’s outgoing president Som Mittal told IANS. The Indian IT industry comprises domestic firms, captive centers of multinationals, global industry classification standards (GICs) and industry sectors providing software and hardware services, business process outsourcing (back office operations), engineering and research and development (ER&D) and products. Indian IT and ITeS industry is divided into four major segments — IT services, business process management (BPM), software products and engineering services, and hardware.

According to data released by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the computer software and hardware sector attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) worth `59,3816.4 million between April 2000 and February 2014.

INDIAN-AMERICAN DOCTOR IS INDICTED, FACES 20-YR JAIL TERM

BY A STAFF WRITER

N

EW YORK — An Indian American doctor has been indicted by a federal grand jury for operating an illegal prescription drug mill that resulted in the death of a patient and seriously damaged the health of others.

Nibedita Mohanty, 56, a former chief of medicine at Stafford Hospital, was indicted on 45 counts, including distribution of controlled substances, aiding and abetting healthcare fraud and money laundering.

Mohanty faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years and a maximum penalty of life imprisonment and a $10 million fine if convicted of the drug trafficking charge relating to the death of a patient, said US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Dana Boente.

According to the indictment, Mohanty was a physician and served as the chief of medicine at Stafford Hospital from June 2009 to February 2013. She represented herself as a chronic pain management

Dr Nibedita Mohanty

doctor, and treated over 100 patients.

In 2013, Mohanty surrendered her medical license for three years after the Virginia Board of Medicine suspended it in April that year.

According to court records, Mohanty distributed controlled substances, often for excessive dosages, to patients outside the bounds of professional practice and with no legitimate medical purpose in exchange for cash.

Mohanty used the cash to support a lavish lifestyle and maintain a large home, which included a swimming pool, for which she paid $32,000.

She also issued a number of prescriptions for controlled substances such as oxycodone, fentanyl and morphine despite knowing that her patients were abusing, misusing, distributing or selling them.

As a result of her prescriptions, patients allegedly suffered serious bodily injuries through non-fatal overdoses.

Mohanty prescribed the medications, even though she did not have the requisite license to do so, the indictment alleges.

She also wrote prescriptions knowing that patients would attempt to fill the prescriptions using their health insurance, in turn causing fraudulent claims.

Texas man nabbed for mailing hoax letters for six years

BY A STAFF WRITER

D

ALLAS (TX) -- A Texas man has been arrested and accused of mailing hundreds of white powder hoax letters over nearly six years to addresses around the world, including northern New Jersey-area hotels days before this year’s Super Bowl.

According to federal officials, Hong Minh Truong, 66, of Rowlett, Texas, was ordered held after a federal court appearance in Dallas, and charged in a federal complaint with false information and hoaxes.

“We believe Hong Minh Truong is responsible for the hundreds of letters sent to locations worldwide, including US government offices, aerospace companies, schools, daycares, and recently, hotels in the vicinity of Super Bowl XLVIII,” Special Agent in Charge Diego Rodriguez, of the FBI’s Dallas office, said in a statement.

Truong was not charged for the preSuper Bowl letters, but investigators suspect he was the sender because of similarities in the mailings. Federal prosecutors would decide whether to press further charges.

Bit if convicted, Truong could face five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

While the white substance inside was deemed harmless, the hotel mailings prompted an intense law enforcement

response amid heightened security around the Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium.

“Truong’s alleged criminal actions caused emergency responders and hazardous response teams immense unnecessary labor and expense, diverted personnel from actual emergencies and caused untold emotional distress to those who received the letters,” Northern District of Texas U.S. Attorney Saldaña said in announcing the arrest.

At least six hotels in Hasbrouck Heights, Lyndhurst, Rutherford and Carlstadt received the white powder letters.

One mailing in Rutherford led officials to temporarily quarantine a worker at the Renaissance Meadowlands Hotel before tests revealed the substance was apparently cornstarch.

The hotel mailings were the last in what federal authorities said was a long-running hoax spree by Truong.

FBI agents focused on Truong after they linked his computer’s IP address to websites of some of 28 Boston public schools that received hoax letters in June 2013.

Investigators also searched his trash and discovered a torn-up list of addresses for FBI buildings. In some cases, Truong allegedly used FBI offices as return addresses.

According to the complaint, he told the Dallas police in 2002 that he heard voices in his head.

“Truong stated the FBI, DEA, ATF, and the police are after him and beaming radar into his body,” an agent wrote in a complaint, citing a police report. “Truong stated that the voices are telling him to do things he does not want to do.”

Authorities allege Truong sent at least 15 batches of letters from North Texas starting in December 2008. In all, about 519 letters were mailed.

Some letters made seemingly rambling references to terrorist groups, Nazis and law enforcement.

ASHINGTON, DC -- President Barack Obama on July 31 nominated Indian American attorney Amit Priyavadan Mehta to serve on the United States District Court in the District of Columbia.

“I am pleased to nominate these distinguished individuals to serve on the United States District Court bench,” said Obama in a statement after appointing Mehta and Massachusetts attorney Allison Dale Burroughs to the U.S. District Court. “I am confident they will serve the American people with integrity and a steadfast commitment to justice.”

Mehta is a partner at Zuckerman Spaeder LLP, where he represents clients in civil and criminal matters before state and federal courts. He received his J.D. magna cum laude in 1997 from the University of Virginia School of Law and his B.A. in 1993 from Georgetown University.

Zuckerman Spaeder chairman Graeme Bush said in a statement, “The judiciary will benefit greatly from his considerable talents and unwavering integrity.”

Mehta has also served as staff attorney for the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, directed the Facilitating Youth in Leadership project and serves as vice-Chair for the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project. He has been recognized by the National Law Journal as a top “Minority Under 40,” and

by Benchmark Litigation and Superlawyers.

The day the news broke, Mehta’s colleagues within the Indian American community were quick to send congratulations.

“Amit has led a distinguished legal career and brings with him successful trial and litigation experience. His diverse perspective will be welcome on the court, and I urge the Senate to act quickly to confirm Amit,” said Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii.

“Amit Mehta has had a distinguished legal career and will serve admirably on the US District Court for the District of Columbia,” said William J. Simonitsch, president of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association.

Woodbridge business owners swindled of $1,200 by fake rep

OODBRIDGE (NJ) -The Woodbridge police say Colonia business owners were scammed out of $1,200 by a phony PSE&G representative who demanded money for an unpaid bill.

WOODBRIDGE (NJ) – The owners of a Colonia business were scammed out of $1,200 when a man claiming to represent a utility company threatened to turn off their electricity if they did not immediately pay their bill.

The crime occurred shortly before 1 pm on Aug 2 when the man called the business and stated he was a PSE&G rep demanding late payment for the electricity.

The man said he would shut off the power unless the $1,200 balance was paid in full.

The caller directed the business owners to purchase Green Dot money cards from CVS to pay the bill, the police said.

The owners purchased the cards and gave the caller the codes on the cards.

A short time later, the owners looked up the rep’s phone number on the Internet only to find they had been scammed and called the police.

NEEL KASHKARI’S VAIN BID TO FIND JOB

S

BY A STAFF WRITER

ACREMANTO, CA - Neel Kashkari, California’s Republican candidate for governor, said he spent a week living as a homeless person in search of a job to test Gov. Jerry Brown’s claim that the state is making a comeback after the economic downturn.

In an opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journal, Kashkari said he took a bus from Los Angeles to Fresno last month with $40 in his pocket, and set out to find work. The Indian American candidate turned to park benches and parking lots to sleep at night and got food at a homeless shelter.

A video crew documented his week.

The 41-year-old Kashkari went to dozens of businesses, offering to wash dishes, sweep floors, pack boxes and cook meals, but he was unable to find a job. He accuses the state’s politicians of ignoring the poor and said California needs to reduce regulations and improve education to help create jobs.

“I walked for hours and hours in search of a job, giving me a lot of time to think,”

Neel Kashkari

wrote Kashkari, a former banker and U.S. Treasury official who helped oversee the federal bank bailout during the recession.

“Five days into my search, hungry, tired and hot, I asked myself: What would solve my problems? Food stamps? Welfare? An increased minimum wage? No. I needed a job,” he wrote.

A recent poll shows Kashkari trailing Brown by 19 points in a race that so far has generated only sporadic public interest.

Dan Newman, a spokesman for Brown’s campaign, said he was having difficulty reconciling Kashkari’s “bizarre campaign stunt” with his assistance for big banks.

“If one truly cared about the homeless and had $700 billion to spend, would he give it all to big banks and ignore families struggling to stay in their homes?”

Newman wrote in an email.

Kashkari said he walked for miles in 100-degree heat searching for work with a bacpack, a change of clothes and a toothbrush.

He showered once, and was awoken each night by security guards or police, who asked him to move on.

He said he was committed to finding a job, but had to change his focus about halfway into the experiment to find food.

“Like others, I have often said the best social program in the world is a good job,” Kashkari wrote. “Even though my homeless trek was only for a week, with a defined endpoint, that statement became much more real for me. A job was the one thing that could have solved my food, housing and transportation problems.”

Royal® Basmati Rice hosts iftars in mosques

BY A STAFF WRITER

HICAGO -- This Ramadan, Royal® Basmati Rice shared the spirit of giving by reaching out to communities at different locations in selected target markets in the US. During the last week of Ramadan, Royal® Basmati Rice brand ambassadors gave out free iftar to Muslim communities in Chicago (IL), Staten Island (NY) and Garden Grove (CA). In addition, it provided, for free, henna applications for the Chaand Raat Mela in Brooklyn (NY) on the eve of Eid, the biggest celebration in the Muslim world observed at the end of Ramadan.

The overall response of the program was very positive and Royal® Basmati Rice outreach to the local community was welcomed by all attendees. As part of the program, Royal® Basmati Rice hosted iftar in selected mosques located in the heart of major community hubs, such as Devon Ave. in Chicago, IL. Most of these events were attended by a large audience who truly appreciated Royal® Basmati Rice’s involvement in the community.

The events were promoted by the Imams of the mosque prior to the iftars as a sign of their appreciation for the company’s efforts.

As a leading food brand that works closely within these communities, the Royal® brand is embracing the culture of its customers during the time of Ramadan and Eid. The Royal® brand recognizes that their high quality food products are used in many Muslim households throughout the US and this was their way of thanking this community for their loyalty and patronage in making Royal® products one of the best selling brands for basmati rice, chakki atta and tea.

“This is an important time of the year for our Muslim consumers and we want to ensure that we partake in their customs and traditions”, says Nadine Curias, VP, Marketing.

“Reaching out to the community to celebrate their major holiday is a part of Royal®’s continued commitment to our diverse

communities. Ramadan is among the biggest celebration in the Muslim community and we wanted to ensure that we celebrate this at the grassroots level”, Curias added.

A trusted household brand for 25 years, Royal® is the #1 best-selling Basmati Rice in America. To understand why, it’s important to realize that all Basmati is not created equal.

Similar to what champagne is to France, truly authentic Basmati Rice can only come from the foothills of the Himalayas.

Under the attentive care of India’s finest farmers, Royal® Basmati Rice grows within the perfect harmony of climate, fertile soil and pure mountain spring water. After harvesting, the rice is aged in temperaturecontrolled silos for a minimum of 12 months.

The result is a non-sticky, fluffy long-grain rice that is distinctively rich in aroma and delicately flavored.

To guarantee that the Royal brand rice meets the highest standards, rigorous QC measures are taken, thus testing each batch for purity, length, consistency and density. Stateof-the-art equipment is used to ensure that every ROYAL® bag is packed with only the finest rice grains containing natural goodness.

ARAMUS (NJ) -- A thief posing as a water company employee distracted a borough couple while his accomplice stole cash from their home.

The police said the impostor showed up at the home of an elderly couple near Farview and Spring Valley Avenues around 1:30 p.m. on July 30 and claimed he needed to check the purity of their water after a main break.

T h e s c a m m e r, w e a r i n g a construction hat, asked the couple to help him in the basement to turn on all of the faucets. As the couple went downstairs, another man slipped inside and grabbed cash from a second-floor bedroom.

The fake utility worker was described as dark-skinned, 30 to 40 years old, 5-foot-11 and 160 pounds.

He was wearing a short-sleeve buttondown shirt, pants and glasses.

Gujarati Samaj’s leaders honored by NY Senator

BY A STAFF WRITER

N

EW YORK -- Senator Toby Ann Stavisky, D-Flushing, on July 31, honored the president and board of directors of the Gujarati Samaj of New York (GSNY) on the 40th anniversary of the organisation and recognized their service to the community.

Since 1974, the Gujarati Samaj has been dedicated to preserving and celebrating the tradition, language and culture of the state.

In order to celebrate its 40th anniversary, the group will host a “Cultural Festival of Gujarat” in Melville, New York from August 8 to 10.

According to a GSNY, the group solidified its roots in the Queens community in 1985 when it opened a community center in Fresh Meadows which has since been the go-to place for community events, social gatherings, religious festivals and healthcare programs.

For commemorating the anniversary, Sen. Stavisky presented a Senate proclamation to

Harshad Patel, president, GSNY; Bharati Desai, program manager; Raman Patel, chair

of the Board of Trustees; Khandu Patel, vice chairman; Mirhir Patel, president of the Society of Indo-American Engineers and Architects (SIAEA); advocate Jitu Mehta and Dilip Chauhan, GSNY chairperson.

“I want to congratulate the Gujarati Samaj on its 40 years of devoted service to the community,” quoted Sen. Stavisky as saying.

“The wonderful thing about living in Queens is your neighbors are often from distinct and diverse parts of the world,” she said.

“Community groups like the Gujarati Samaj are critical to preserving this diversity because they are a place where people who share the same language, culture and traditions can come together and celebrate their common history,” she continued, adding, “I thank the Samaj for their longstanding dedication to preserving and fostering Gujarati culture here in Queens.”

Your bed goes beyond Tips to de-stress in office JUST SEX AND SLEEP W IANS, LOS ANGELES

Many people use gadgets in their beds even late in the night IANS, NEW YORK

I

f we go by sleep experts, mattresses should be used for just two things — sleep and sex.

But the reality is that consumers have turned their mattresses into reading nooks, home offices, music dens, TV stations and even dining rooms.

Also, many people use smartphones, tablets and computers in their beds even late in the night.

According to a study, 21 percent of Millennials — people who reached young adulthood around the year 2000 — and Baby Boomers — people born after the second world war between 1946-64 — report eating in bed once a in North CarolinaMillennials are week or more. based Furniture having more sex “Millennials Today magazine. are having more A total 61 on mattresses — sex on mattresspercent of baby once a week or es — once a boomers report more for 81 having sex once week or more a week or more. for 81 percent percent of The study of respondents respondents suggests that than 75 percent than 75 percent companies need to Gen Xers (people Gen Xers present the mattress born after 1964 till as much more than just the 70’s),” said a report

a sleeping surface.

Adjustable beds are the future.

“These enable consumers to customise their positions in bed, lifting the head for computer work, TV watching and reading, and perhaps elevating the feet to take some stress off the back,” the report added.

Moreover, pillows give consumers a chance to create a custom comfort zone for their activity of the moment, the report concluded.

Are you a victim of fake fashion? admitted they don’t feel they possess the knowledge to accurately identify a counterfeit product from a genuine item. Fanny Moizant, cofounder of vestiairecollective.com, advises on how to spot a counterfeit.

“The material can tell you a lot about the quality of an item, if it’s leather it should feel and smell like leather. If the item you’re inspecting is a bag, make sure you take a good look at the stitching, uneven or slanted stitching is a sign of a poorly made item and, therefore, a counterfeit,” she said.

oing by a research, counterfeit designer goods may be flooding internet and our wardrobes too!

Vestiairecollective.com has released a study that shows that 61 percent of women online marketplace shoppers have been misled into purchasing counterfeit designer goods, or knew at least one person who had bought a fake designer item through internet, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Social media obsession goes up when abroad LONDON: If posting, tweeting to tagging ourselves at different locations has become a trend, latest research says that many Britons become 16 times more addicted to social media while holidaying.

According to online travel agency, sunshine.co.uk, a gadget freak tourist from Britain will update his Facebook status 10 times, send 23 text messages, post four tweets and add two pictures to his Instagram account when abroad.

The site carried out the research

and found that many Britons admit to finding it difficult to distance themselves from their gadgets and gizmos whilst on holiday abroad, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

As many as 89 percent of respondents admitted that they took their mobile phone abroad on holiday with them on their last trip, whilst 39 percent had taken a tablet device, 26 percent had taken an e-reader of some description and 11 percent had taken a laptop.

Many Britishers admitted to using social media abroad with 41 percent revealing they want ‘to stay in the loop with everything back home in Britain.

A further 41 percent said the like ‘to brag about my holiday’.

Video games make your kids better adjusted IANS, LONDON

Y

oung people who indulge in a little video game-playing are better adjusted than those who do not play at all or those who are on video games for three hours or more every day, suggests a study.

When compared to non-players and those who played very frequently, those who played video games for less than an hour were associated with the highest levels of sociability and were most likely to say they were satisfied with their lives, the findings showed.

They also appeared to have

fewer friendship and emotional problems, and reported less hyperactivity than the other groups.

“High levels of video gameplaying appear to be only weakly linked to children’s behavioral problems in the real world,” said Andrew Przybylski from the Oxford University in Britain.

“Likewise, the small, positive effects we observed for low levels of play on electronic games do not support the idea that video games on their own can help children develop in an increasingly digital world,” Przybylski said. The study suggests that the influence of video games on children, for good or for ill, is very small when compared with more “enduring” factors, such as whether the child is from a functioning family, their school relationships, and whether they are materially deprived.

The study involved nearly 5,000 young people, half of them males and the remaining females, between 10 and 15 years old, from Britain.

NASA’s Messenger to observe Mercury closely

The aim of the spacecraft is to take the satellite closes to the planet for an ambitious study IANS, WASHINGTON

N

ASA’s Messenger spacecraft, sent to study the Mercury 10 years back, will observe the planet at lower altitudes.

This is likely to result in exciting scientific discoveries, NASA said in a statement as Messenger completed 10 years on August 3.

Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. The aim of the spacecraft blasted off on August 3, 2004 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, was to take the small satellite dangerously close to Mercury’s surface paving the way for an ambitious study of the planet.

Andy Calloway, Messenger Mission Operations manager from Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). After Mariner 10, Messenger is only the second spacecraft sent to Mercury.

Mariner flew past Mercury three times between 1974 and 1975 and collected data on less than half the surface.

Messenger took advantage of an ingenious trajectory design, lightweight materials and miniaturization of electronics — all developed in three decades since Mariner 10 flew past Mercury.

The mission has rewritten scientists’ understanding of the planet “and given us plenty of surprises”, NASA added.

The spacecraft has so far travelled 7.9 billion km including 15 trips around the sun and flybys of earth once, Venus twice, and Mercury thrice before it was inserted into orbit around its target planet

The spacecraft has so far traveled 7.9 billion km including 15 trips around the sun in 2011, the statement added.

“We have operated successfully in orbit for more than three Earth years and more than 14 Mercury years as we celebrate this amazing 10th anniversary milestone,” said

The system runs on inexpensive platforms, with an expected production cost as low as $100 per device, allowing it to be affordable to many people around the world and hopefully make a difference in third world countries, Murray added.

IANS, NEW YORK

NEW YORK: To enable researchers to quickly and easily visualize and compare large amounts of genomic information resulting from high-throughput sequencing experiments, scientists have now developed a new free webbased tool called Epiviz.

“Epiviz helps biomedical scientists meet the challenge of visualizing large genomic data sets while supporting creative data analysis in a collaborative environment,” said Hector Corrada Bravo, an assistant professor in computer science at University of Maryland in the U.S. Next-generation sequencing techniques are key to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cell function in healthy and diseased individuals and the development of diseases like cancer. Data from multiple

experiments need to be integrated, but the growing number of data sets makes a thorough comparison and analysis of results challenging.

To visualize and browse entire genomes, graphical interfaces that display information from a database of genomic data — called “genome browsers” — were created. According to the researchers, Epiviz offers a major advantage over browsers currently available: Epiviz seamlessly integrates with the open-source Bioconductor analysis software widely used by genomic scientists, through its Epivizr Bioconductor package.

“Prior tools limited visualization to presentation and dissemination, rather than a hybrid tool integrating interactive visualization with algorithmic analysis,” says Corrada Bravo.

Brain next frontier to treat obesity Simply believing that an odor is potentially harmful can increase airway inflammation in asthmatics, say a new research phenylethyl alcohol (PEA) for 15 minutes.

Often described as rose-smelling, PEA is regarded as a “pure” odorant with no associated physiological irritant qualities.

Eight participants were told that the odor had potential therapeutic properties, while nine were told that it potentially could cause mild respiratory problems.

Individuals who were told that the odor was potentially harmful rated it as more irritating and annoying as compared to those who thought it might be therapeutic.

In addition, airway inflammation increased immediately following odor exposure in subjects who believed the odor might be harmful and remained elevated 24 hours later.

IANS, NEW YORK

A

re you an asthmatic and constantly worried about scents and fragrances in the surrounding air? This thought alone can actually harm you more than you can think of.

A new research reveals that simply believing that an odor is potentially harmful can increase airway inflammation in asthmatics for at least 24 hours following exposure.

“Asthmatics often are anxious about scents and fragrances. When we expect that an odor is harmful, our bodies react as if that odor is indeed harmful,” said Cristina Jaen, a physiologist at Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia.

In the study, 17 moderate asthmatics were exposed to the odor of

Walking speed may detect Alzheimer’s risk

NEW YORK: How fast people walk and whether they have memory complaints can help predict dementia early, researchers have found. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia.

The new test diagnoses motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR). Testing for the newly syndrome relies on measuring gait speeda (our manner of walking) and asking a few simple questions about a patient’s cognitive abilities, both of which

take just seconds.“Our assessment method could enable many more people to learn if they are at risk for dementia, since it avoids the need for complex testing and does not require that the test be administered by a neurologist,” said Joe Verghese, a professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. “All that is needed to assess MCR is a stopwatch and a few questions, so primary care physicians could easily incorporate it into examinations of their older patients,” Verghese added.

To test whether MCR predicts future dementia, the researchers focused on four of the 22 studies that tested a total of 4,812 people for MCR and then evaluated them annually over an average follow-up period of 12 years to see which ones developed dementia.

WASHINGTON: Therapies aimed at areas of the brain responsible for memory could lead to better treatment of obesity.
