Public life like swimming in a river of fire: Jaya CHENNAI: Ruling AIADMK party general secretary and former Tamil Nadu chief minister J.Jayalalithaa Sunday said her public life is akin to swimming in a river of fire.

In a statement issued here a day after she was released from the Bangalore Central Jail on bail, Jayalalithaa said: “My public life is akin to swimming in a river of fire.”

Jayalalithaa said she knew the kind of difficulties that she would face in her public life.

“Jayalalithaa left the jail after

Jayalalithaa thanks Maneka Gandhi, Rajinikanth released to the media here, Jayalalithaa said: “I was especially moved by the fact that, despite your busy schedule as union minister, Ministry of Women and Child Development, you found the time to think of me and send your heartwarming missive.” — IANS

A special court on September 27 convicted Jayalalithaa in the `666.5-million disproportionate assets’ case and sentenced her to four years simple imprisonment and a fine of `1 billion. The three others were sentenced to four years jail term with a fine of `100 million each.

MIM makes decent debut in Maha polls

HYDERABAD: The Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen or MIM, which made an impressive debut in the Maharashtra elections, will now focus on Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and other states, said party president Asaduddin Owaisi. In its first attempt to expand outside Hyderabad and have pan-India presence, the Muslim political party stunned the rivals by making inroads in the western state.

Scores of party activists celebrated the party’c victory at Darussalam, the party headquarters here. A stream of workers and supporters were seen congratulating MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and his younger brother Akbaruddin Owaisi, who aggressively campaigned in Mumbai and parts of Marathwada.

Party leaders feel it is a big achievement for the party considering the fact that it did not have any proper organizational structure in the state and majority of its candidates were political novices.

They pointed out that the party also finished runners up in five or six constituency.

Police were looking into complaints that three more workers went missing.

“Once we get it, we will discuss it and then seek legal opinion on how to go about it,” said Chennithala. A division bench of Justice A.V.

The case rocked the then K. Karunakaran government and deep factionalism in the party led to a rather unceremonious exit of Karunakaran in 1995. He was replaced by A.K. Antony. Then the Congress party was divided between the Antony faction, led by Oommen Chandy, and the Karunakaran faction. Chandy quit as finance minister in 1994 owing to difference of opinion with Karunakaran.

US prepared for Ebola: Obama The Pentagon announces the formation of a specialized 30-person military rapid response team to combat Ebola in the country

USIBC to partner in Vibrant Gujarat summit

IANS, WASHINGTON

U

nited States President Barack Obama delivered a calming message to Americans on October 18 following the alarm sparked by the first two Ebola infections in the country, and said the nation is “prepared” to ward off an outbreak of the virus.”

“There is no country better prepared to confront the challenge Ebola poses than the U.S. and even one case here at home is too many, the country is not facing an outbreak of the disease,” Obama said in his customary message.

The president said that “this is a serious disease, but we canot give in to hysteria or fear” because “Ebola is actually a difficult disease to catch.”

He also stood up for health authorities’ ability to respond and learn from the mistakes made at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas where two nurses were infected who had been caring for Liberian patient Thomas Eric Dun-

can, who died of the disease earlier this month.

“We know how to fight this disease. We know the protocols. And we know that when they’re followed, they work. So far, five Americans who got infected with Ebola in West Africa have been brought back to the US and all five have been treated safely, without infecting health-

care workers,” he said.

The Pentagon during the weekend announced the formation of a specialized 30-person military rapid response team to combat Ebola in the United States.

Meanwhile, an Ebola patient, who was treated at the Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, has been discharged, the hospital said.

WASHINGTON: The United StatesIndia Business Council (USIBC) will lead a U.S. delegation of Fortune 500 CEOs and senior executives to the Vibrant Gujarat 2015 summit in Gandhinagar, Gujarat in January 2015. This will be USIBC’s fourth, and most prominent participation in the Vibrant Gujarat Summit as a Partner Organization with the Gujarat Government, the trade advocacy group of 300 plus top US companies doing business with India announced.

“USIBC is pleased to once again be a part of the Vibrant Gujarat Summit, having long supported the probusiness environment of the state,” USIBC acting president Diane Farrell said in a statement.

“The summit provides a fantastic opportunity for our member companies to enhance their association in fields ranging from infrastructure to tourism, education to entertainment,” he said.

Contributor to Vanity Fair. Knitter of things without sleeves,” says the profile of the one-time White House intern, who said she felt “excited (and nervous)” before the conference on October 20. “Exciting”, “brave” and “sincere” were some of the adjectives used by the more than 12,100 people who now follow Lewinsky on Twitter.

urdish forces are in control of the majority of the Syrian city of Kobane despite efforts by the Islamic State (IS) to take the town, a spokesperson for United States defense department said on October 21.

IS is presenting more targets to coalition aircraft and to Iraqi forces, Kirby said. Coalition forces launched seven airstrikes on October 20, Kirby said.

“The weather in the region is improving,” he said, explaining that with better weather, “intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms are able to fly a little bit more now”.

Since its inception in 2003 the Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors’ Summit has brought together global thought leaders, policy makers, academia, investors and industrialists on a common platform in an effort to showcase India’s potential as a business partner, USIBC noted.

USIBC which first participated in Vibrant Gujarat in November 2008 congratulated the Gujarat government “on its continued commitment to hosting this important globally focused event.” It looks forward to the valuable insights and relationships the delegation will gain by attending the Summit, the trade body said.

Khattar to be Haryana CM

T

he BJP created history in Haryana by getting a clear majority on its own for the first time this week and said that it would form the government in Maharashtra too where it finished the single largest group in a hung assembly but has been offered support by the NCP. The Congress was humiliated in both Haryana and Maharashtra which it had been ruling for two and three consecutive terms, respectively.

For the first time, the Bharatiya Janata Party got a clear mandate in Haryana, winning 47 seats in the 90-member assembly with a 33.2 percent vote share.

The BJP Parliamentary Party Board met in New Delhi Sunday evening to discuss chief minister probables for Haryana and Maharashtra. The party later announced it would send senior leaders Rajnath Singh to Maharashtra and Venkaiah Naidu to Haryana to take a decision on the chief ministerial candidates.

Briefing reporters after the meeting, general secretary J.P. Nadda said he would accompany Rajnath Singh.

On the offer of support from the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party, Nadda said no call has been taken yet.

The names doing rounds in Haryana include Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh activist Manohar Lal Khattar, state BJP president Ram Bilas Sharma and party spokesperson Abhimanyu. Other names were of leaders, who did not contest, including union ministers Sushma Swaraj, Rao Inderjit Singh and Krishan Pal. Congressman-turned-BJP leader Birender Singh is also in the running.

For the first time, the Bharatiya Janata Party got a clear mandate in Haryana thanks to the vision of BJP President Amit Shah and PM Narendra Modi.

sworn in before Diwali this week.

The Hindu festival of lights falls on October 23.

In Maharashtra, the BJP won 122 seats in the 288-member assembly, falling well short of the 145 seats required for a simple majority. Its ally Rashtriya Samaj Paksha won one.

With the NCP, which won 41 seats, offering BJP “outside sup-

port”, leaving the runner up and former ally Shiv Sena high and dry, BJP president Amit Shah said in New Delhi that his party would “form the next government” in the state.

NCP leader Praful Patel said Maharashtra needed stability and so his party was ready to prop up a BJP government.

The Shiv Sena, which ended up

with 63 seats, had earlier said it was ready to make up with the BJP, a sentiment shared by some of the latter’s leaders, including L.K. Advani, one of those who was not happy with the decision to dump its ally of 25 long years after a row over seat sharing ahead of elections.

The Congress, which, with the NCP, ruled Maharashtra for 15 years until their alliance collapsed before the elections, finished third with 42 seats.

Shiv Sena chief Udhav Thackeray said that nobody from the BJP has approached his party for support, and his party would not approach it with any proposal.

“If (the BJP) they make any proposal, we shall consider it,” he said.

Earlier, Maharashtra BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis said that while no discussions had taken place with the Sena, “if the need arises, we expect our friends to support us”, while Sena leader Anil Desai added that the acrimony between the parties was history.

India ready for nuclear no-first-use agreements ARUL LOUIS, UNITED NATIONS

R

eiterating its traditional policy of not using nuclear weapons first and not targeting non-nuclear weapons nations, India has offered to enter into agreements incorporating the two principles while ruling out joining the non-proliferation treaty.

“As a responsible nuclear power, India has a policy of credible minimum deterrence based on a No First Use posture and non-use of

nuclear weapons against nonnuclear weapon states,” Ambassador D.B. Venkatesh Varma said.

“We are prepared to convert these into bilateral or multilateral legally binding arrangements.” Varma, the Indian Permanent Representative to the Conference on Disarmament, was speaking at a meeting of the UN General Assembly Committee on Disarmament and International Peace.

While New Delhi is “unwavering in its commitment to universal, non-discriminatory, verifiable

nuclear disarmament”, he said, “there is no question of India joining the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) as a non-nuclear weapon state.”

That would require New Delhi

unilaterally giving up its nuclear weapons. On another matter impacting the restriction of nuclear weapons, Varma offered New Delhi’s qualified support to the Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty

Mathur appointed UP BJP incharge, Nadda of Maharashtra NEW DELHI: BJP president Amit Shah has appointed party leader O.P. Mathur as the party incharge of Uttar Pradesh and J.P. Nadda of Maharashtra and Rajasthan.

In a major organizational reshuffle, Shah promoted some young secretaries giving them charge of states and sought to strike a balance between experience and youth.

Mathur had contributed to the party’s efforts in the Maharashtra assembly polls where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the single largest party for the first time and is poised to form the government. The reshuffle indicated the steady rise of Nadda, a party general secretary, in the party ranks.

Reintroducing a draft resolution on a Convention on the Prohibition of the Use of Nuclear Weapons, he criticized countries with nuclear weapons coverage that have repeatedly voted against the proposed measure since it was first introduced in 1982.

Varma expressed “regret that a sizeable minority of member states have voted against this resolution”.

Reflecting the concern of the international community to the dangers from terrorists, Varma said India will be introducing again a draft resolution on “measures to prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction”.

BE COMPASSIONATE TO

ANIMALS THIS DIWALI The festival of lights is indeed a nightmare for all animals. There are no reliable figures of injuries animals sustain after Diwali

SHILPA RAINA, NEW DELHI

O

ne of the most common and perhaps the cruelest sights during Diwali is a frightened dog running blindly on the road, terrified of the loud noise coming from the firecracker strip tied to his tail by mischievous children.

This scene might provide entertainment to many children, who would giggle and clap at the helpless mute creature, but in reality the festival of lights is indeed a nightmare for all animals, includ-

ing dogs, birds and cats.

“This happens every year. But if one looks closely at the core issue, we will realize that bursting crackers is just a part of the problem.

People are not compassionate about animals and think they can do anything with them,” Animal Welfare Board of India secretary Vinos Kumar told IANS on the phone from Chennai.

“We are not saying ‘Stop bursting crackers’, but what we are saying is to show a bit more compassion towards animals. Loud sounds affect their ear drums, so

Shoot like a pro this Diwali with DSLR camera SOMRITA GHOSH, NEW DELHI

F

or 22-year-old student Ridhima Shukla, taking pictures like a professional in the run-up to Diwali is pure fun — for she cannot resist capturing the colorful lanterns, diyas and lights that fill the air.

Busy photographing sale-hopping shoppers and bustling markets across the capital, what she loves the most is her new DSLR — short for digital single lens reflex camera that she has just bought on a handsome discount.

To go by retailers, with heavy dis-

counts on offer, DSLR cameras have been on top of the shoppers’ list for the past few years during Diwali in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).

“Since the last few years, sales of DSLR have been exceedingly good. No doubt the discounts attract buyers as they are costly,” Irfan Ali, owner of Camarena store in Noida that offers a range of cameras, told IANS. “We also organize various competitions during Diwali to encourage people purchase DSLR and show

their photography skills. We also award cash prizes to the winner,” Ali added.

Depending upon your budget, DSLR prices start from `24,000 and go up to above `100,000, with discounts ranging from 15 to 30

percent on offer.

Companies like Canon and Nikon have not only come up with new DSLR models but have also slashed the prices of existing brands.

“Any festival is an ideal time for taking photographs but when it is

the best would be to show some sensitivity towards them,” he added.

Delhi-based animal activist Bhavani Sundaran has already started creating awareness among the people on “making Diwali safe for animals and pets” through her Facebook page.

She is a member of the Animal Forum group on the social networking site that understand the plight of animals.

“Unfortunately many people don’t understand animals at all.

They feel they can’t speak and talk and hence have no emotions. But they too are living beings and can be scared and stressed during times like this,” Sundaran told IANS. “I have seen many children teasing animals, especially street dogs.

They derive great pleasure in scaring a dog by tying crackers at its tail. I wonder what kind of entertainment they get from there,” she asked, adding that being a compassionate and sensitive human being is the key to solving many problems of the world, including those relating to animals.

While there are no reliable figures of injuries animals sustain after Diwali, animal welfare associations and NGOs said they mostly get complaints from people for lost pets, injured birds and stray dogs.

Diwali, the mesmerizing world of crackers, diyas, lights, sweets, decorations and, most importantly, the emotions on the street put your skills to real test”, Tarun Chawla, a Delhi-based photographer who frequently organizes workshops across the country, told IANS. “Here, with loads of features, DSLR cameras come to your rescue.

Digital SLR gives you a complete control,” he pointed out.

For someone like Shukla, the DSLR camera has brought new life to her frames.

“The functions are so smooth and user-friendly that capturing a moment with the right amount of light and correct shutter speed is no more a rocket science,” a beaming Shukla said.

With social media and smartphones now abuzz with photo-sharing platforms and devices, people are thronging to upload quality pictures on sites like Facebook, Instagram and Flickr, among others.

ISRO spy case: HC quashes government order IANS, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM

T

he Kerala government will seek legal opinion on the Kerala High Court's ruling quashing the state government's order to drop charges against three retired police officers who had implicated and arrested scientist S. Nambi Narayanan in the ISRO espionage case.

Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala told reporters here on October 21 that they are yet to get the details of the court directive.

S Nambi Narayanan

“Once we get it, we will discuss it and then seek legal opinion on how to go about it,” said Chennithala. A division bench of Justice A.V. Ramakrishna Pillai, acting on a petition of former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientist Narayanan, directed the state government to reconsider its decision to drop case against the three police officers and submit a report within three months.

The case surfaced in 1994 when Narayanan along with another top official of ISRO, two Maldivian

women and a businessman was arrested on espionage charges.

The case rocked the then K. Karunakaran government and deep factionalism in the party led to a rather unceremonious exit of Karunakaran in 1995. He was replaced by A.K. Antony. Then the Congress party was divided between the Antony faction, led by Oommen Chandy, and the Karunakaran faction. Chandy quit as finance minister in 1994 owing to difference of opinion with Karunakaran.

She reaffirmed that the SAARC process touches real life of the people of South Asia and India is committed to increasing trade and commerce as well as connectivity and people-to-people interaction, said official sources.

As a run-up to the SAARC Summit, India has hosted meetings of SAARC Cultural and Energy Ministers.

The child rights activist has pledged her $100,000 award to education in Pakistan, Geo TV reported.

The Liberty Medal is given annually to men and women of courage and conviction.

She won the prize for her “courage and resilience in the face of adversity and for serving as a powerful voice for those who have been denied their basic human rights and liberties”, said the National Constitution Centre

(NCC), US. Malala, who currently lives in Britain, rose to prominence in Pakistan by campaigning for girls’ right to education.

In October 2012, she was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman.

EARLY VOTERS CAN REGISTER AT 51 SITES IN CHICAGO

BY A STAFF WRITER

C

HICAGO (IL) -- Early voting ahead of mid-term elections has begun from October 20 at 51 sites in Chicago, and for the first time, each location also will provide voter registration services.

All of the sites will be open at least from 9 am to 5 pm--Monday through Saturday-through November 2.

Five sites also will offer special additional hours: 10 am to 4 pm on Sundays, and extended weeknight hours through 7 pm the week of October 27¬31.

These five regional sites are: the Election Board at 69 W. Washington St., the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center, Mount Greenwood Park, the West Side Learning Center and Welles Park.

Voters don’t need a reason or excuse to use early voting, and any Chicago voter may use any early voting site in the city.

Election Board Chairman Langdon D. Neal said, “Chicago has regularly led the state in the use of early voting. This year, with the addition of voter¬registration services at every site, we’re telling our citizens, ‘Let’s Do It Again – And Bring a Friend. Those voters who missed the deadline to register online or by mail still have a safety net of in¬person grace period registration at all of our early voting sites.”

Neal noted that qualified citizens who need to register or file a name or address change should be sure to have two forms of ID, at least one of which shows the voter’s current address. Voters who use the grace period option also must cast their ballot during that same visit.

For more information, Chicago voters may visit www.chicagoelections.com.

Voters also may refer to last Thursday’s household mailing, which provides the election day polling place for that voter’s address and a local early voting site.

Early voting was first introduced in Illinois in 2006. The highest turnout during early voting in Illinois was in Chicago ahead of the 2008 Presidential Election, when more than 260,000 voters used early voting in the city.

Even with five fewer days of early voting in 2013, nearly that many Chicago voters used the system again in 2012. Neal noted this would be the first time that early voting and grace period registration would be combined.

In earlier elections, grace period registration was limited to the Election Board’s offices.

Chicago early voting locations and hours of 51 sites are as under: Early Voting Starts in Chicago Oct. 20, 2014 C H I C AG O E A R LY VOT I N G LOCATIONS & HOURS All 51 Chicago

Early Voting sites will be open Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Five locations (the Board’s offices at 69 W. Washington, the Martin Luther King Jr. Center, Mount Greenwood Park, the West Side Learning Center and Welles Park) will also offer additional days and hours of operations: from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays, including Nov. 2, and extended weeknight hours through 7 p.m. from Oct. 27-31.

CHAUMBURG (IL) -- The Indian American Republican Organization (IARO) organized one of the largest gatherings of Indian American business leaders and business owners at a grand gala and dinner on October 12 at the India House Banquets in Schaumburg, IL. About 400 Indian American leaders gathered to network and discuss ideas on how to jump-start the economy and fix the issues plaguing the State of Illinois.

The event was widely attended by both local and State elected officials as well as Senator, Congressmen and Governor Candidates.

This allows both independents and liberals to attend IARO events and foster a broader bi-partisan dialogue that helps candidates understand the real needs of the Indian-American community as a whole.

In attendance were US Senator Mark Kirk, State Senate minority leader Christine Rodagno, GOP Governor candidate Bruce Rauner, US Senate candidate Jim Oberweis,

Top-drawer business leaders who made it a point to attend IARO gala

Illinois GOP Chairman Tim Schneider, Illinois Policy Institute CEO John Tillman and Illinois Chamber of Commerce CEO, Todd Maisch.

Local elected officials from Schaumburg, Maine Township, Naperville, Aurora and Dupage and Cook counties were also in attendance.

Musical concert to pay tribute to R D Burman

S

BY A STAFF WRITER

T LOUIS (MI) -- Seema Enterprises brought back the glorious memories of the late music composer R D Burman on his 75th birth anniversary with a smash-hit musical concert.

The gripping program was a fitting tribute to legend R.D Buraman by Bollywood’s renowned singers Mahalaxmi Iyer, Jolly Mukharjee with the talented Bishak Jyoti and Shreyashi of Saregama fame and Bollywood’s finest live orchestra in St. Louis on October 22 at Clayton High School.

Over 300 people enjoyed going down memory lane with his most popular melodies in the voice of talented artists and rocked to the tunes of the India’s greatest and versatile music legend in St.Louis for three hours.

R D Burman, lovingly known as Pancham Da, was the man who revolutionalised Bollywood music with his unique compositions.

He was deeply influenced by Western, Latin, Oriental and Arabic music genres.

Many of his scores have a mix of electronic rock, disco and jazz elements. Pancham incorporated a wide range of these influences, delivering some of biggest all-time hits including Chura Liya Hai, Mehbooba Mehbooba, Bahon Mein Chale Aao, Tum Aa Gaye Ho Noor Aa Gaya Hai, Aap Ki Ankhon Mein Kuch and O Mere Dil Ke Chain, among many others.

Viewers were all praise for the absorbing

show. Hema Patel said that it was superb show and everybody who attended the show had a blast.

Said Trupti Sharma: “It was awesome.

The singers bought back memories of timeless beautiful Hindi songs that evoke a wide array of emotions!

“Thank you, Ashiwnbhai, for bringing the show to us R D Burman lovers!! We had such a blast from the past! Loved every minute of it.”, said Tamanna Williams.

PRINGFIELD, MASS., Almost three million Asian Indians in the United States are preparing to celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights, on Oct. 23. For the more than 300,000 Asian-Indian owned firms* in the U.S., the holiday takes on an added dimension, as the celebration marks the beginning of a new business year. To help business owners prepare for the New Year ahead, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) is offering a series of free, no-obligation business seminars in five cities across the country this Diwali.

In a special Diwali ritual for businesses known as Chopda Pujan, new account books are opened and blessed. Business owners use this time to reflect on the past year while looking ahead to new opportunities for prosperity and wealth. It is said the goddess of wealth, known as Lakshmi, visits the homes of devotees on this day, and lamps light the way to welcome her.

A MassMutual study** found that although 77 percent of Asian Indian business owners believe financial planning for their business is very important, only 43 percent are concerned about who will run their businesses if they or another owner leaves, becomes disabled or dies;

only 46 percent have a formal retirement plan.

“Entrepreneurial businesses are vital to our growing economic recovery, so it is concerning that so many business owners seem to be sacrificing their own and their family’s financial future,” says Nimesh Trivedi, Asian-Indian Market lead at MassMutual. “With help, business owners can look past the seemingly overwhelming day-to-day demands of running their businesses and establish and meet their long-term financial goals.”

To help Asian Indian business owners open their new books this Diwali and plan for a prosperous new year, MassMutual is offering a series of free video-based seminars featuring stories shared by real business owners. The vignettes explore critical business planning topics, such as passing ownership on from one generation to the next, preparing for the unexpected, the death of an owner, retaining key employees, and proper estate and retirement planning.

Seminars addressing these topics critical to Asian Indian business owners will be presented in the following cities across the country this Diwali: • Houston, Oct. 14 • Atlanta: Oct. 18 • San Jose, Calif.: Oct. 24

G N I M O C P U

• Edison, N.J.: Oct. 29 • Chicago: Nov. 6 For more information on the multi-city business owner seminar tour, contact Nimesh Trivedi, 413.744.1244.

‘Ask police on Ness issue’ Preity Zinta, who has filed a molestation case against her former boy friend Ness Wadia, declines to speak on the controversy with reporters IANS, MUMBAI

A

ctor-producer Preity Zinta, who filed a molestation case against her former boy friend Ness Wadia, on October 18 declined to speak on the issue, saying all queries should be addressed to the Mumbai police chief about the details.

“I have come here for a different reason and I would appreciate if you ask the Mumbai police commissioner about this because even I want to ask him. I am specifically here for MAMI so let’s stick to this,” Preity Zinta told reporters at the 16th MAMI film festival.

“I am a normal person though you all call me celebrity... I am a normal person like anybody else. Police are following their procedure and in our

country the law takes its own cause and I have to wait. There are millions in the line and I can’t jump the line directly or else you all will say I am behaving like a celebrity. So I am being a good girl and following the procedures,” said the actor.

The actor, who was there to support the festival, says like in other festivals, the celebrities who attend the MAMI film festival should look glamorous. “I really want to see everyone looking glamorous at the MAMI film festival like other festivals. We all deck up and go for other festivals so why not for MAMI... I would really like if everyone looks glamorous because that’s what it’s all about. I am here to support MAMI and I am glad all the actors have come ahead and supported it.”

Deepika is not gunning for Hollywood now

Preity Zinta, who will be seen in Saif Ali Khan’s next film Happy Ending, says she was surprised to see herself in the trailer of the film.

“I did it because Saif is a dear friend he called me and I just said yes for it.

He has never asked me to anything like this before,” she said.

Saying she was awed by Rani Mukherjee’s performance in Mardaani, Preity said says Rani is a powerhouse performer.

“In the recent past, one film which I like the most was Mardaani. I have been researching about human trafficking for a while and the film gives you the correct information. Rani is a powerhouse performer and she does relevant films,” said the actor, who was last seen in Ishkq in Paris.

I hate producing films: Abhishek Bachchan

IANS, MUMBAI

IANS, MUMBAI

eepika Padukone is ready to work in films beyond Bollywood, but she is not gunning for Hollywood.

The versatile Indian actor is instead, keen to do a French or Iranian film, and she has even identified directors she would like to work with. “I think French cinema is as beautiful as Indian cinema and like I said before, I don’t think the medium matters as much as the story and the script. If I find something exciting, I would do it,” the 28year-old said here at the 16th Mumbai Film Festival.

“Priceless is one of my most favorite French films. I have watched some Iranian films as well. I do like some directors and I have identified some directors I would like to work with,” she added. Deepika is currently busy promoting her mega commercial venture Happy New Year that hits theatres on October 24.

ctor Abhishek Bachchan, who tasted success as a producer with the National Award winning film Paa, says he’s not a huge fan of producing movies. However, he’s okay with the job as long as he isn’t acting in the project as well.

“I hate producing films. It’s just that I got lucky (with Paa).

But I hate it,” Abhishek, who played a reel father to his real father Amitabh Bachchan in the 2009 movie, told IANS. “During Paa, I had a very difficult time because the producer in me came in the way of the actor in me. I would be more comfortable in producing a film without me acting in it. If I have to produce a film in which I am acting, that would need a lot of preparation and organization from my part,” he added.

Abhishek next as a producer is Shamitabh, which again stars his megastar father.

“Shamitabh is more enjoyable because I am just the producer in that. Production is a very difficult job and it’s a very thankless job,” said the 38-year-old.

Being directed by R. Balakrishnan aka R. Balki, the movie also stars Dhanush and Akshara Haasan.

‘Happy New Year’ gets ‘U’ certificate, team happy MUMBAI: Farah Khan’s multi-starrer directorial Happy New Year has been passed with a ‘U’ certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

The team of the film, produced by Shah Rukh’s Red Chillies Entertainments Pvt Ltd, is excited with the news that will make it possible for audiences of all age groups to watch it at theaters.

“We, at Red Chillies Entertainments, have always believed in making a film which can be enjoyed by one and all. And with ‘U’ certificate attached to the film, it is only going to enhance the potential and appeal right from the kids to youngsters to adults,” SRK said in a statement.

Apart from Shah Rukh, the film stars Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani, Sonu Sood and Vivaan Shah.

Director Farah, who has ensured that the movie has a lot of dance and music, says she has “always believed in making an entertaining film to be enjoyed by not just one section or age-group but everyone”. — IANS

Hollywood still far far away MUMBAI: Actors like Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur may be making inroads into the Hollywood scene, but actor Imran Khan feels the American film industry lacks good roles for Indian talent.

“To be honest, I don’t think Indian actors get good roles in Hollywood. You either get to be the hero’s friend, the guy who owns the 7-Eleven (convenience store) on the corner,” the 31-year-old said here on the sidelines of the ongoing Mumbai Film Festival here. “The truth is there are no good roles for Indians in Hollywood. I am very happy here,” added the actor, who has been seen in movies like Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane, I Hate Luv Storys and Delhi Belly.

Anil, who featured in a key role in Oscarwinning British film Slumdog Millionaire, was seen in a small role in Tom Cruise-starrer Misson Impossible: Ghost Protocol and was also seen in the eighth season of American TV series 24. Irrfan has featured in international films like A Mighty Heart, The Amazing Spider-Man and Life of Pi, while Nimrat was roped in for a part in the fourth season of the American TV series Homeland. Others in the list are Ali Fazal, who has a cameo in Fast & Furious 7.

Good to see local talents in festivals: Lucky Ali BANGALORE: Bollywood singer, composer and notable figure in the Indian music industry Lucky Ali feels satisfied with the encouragement of local talents in music festivals and says it helps in the growth of the industry.

“What I am seeing in the festivals is that they are encouraging local talent and art, for instance — Rajasthani folk music is the part of The Great Indian October fest,” the 56-year-old told IANS on the sidelines of the 10th edition of the Kingfisher Premium — The Great Indian Octoberfest (TGIOF) here.

“There is big exchange of culture in India which is good. It’s kind of growth and that looks nice,” He said.

Best known for his chartbusting songs O sanam, Anjaani rahon mei, and Na tum jano na hum, the musician took the Bangalorean crowd to the soulful journey of music when he performed live in front of his fans at EZone club here on October 18.

From Tera ye aashiyana, Dekha hai aise bhi, Jaane kya dhoondta hai and Aa bhi ja, he struck the right chord with every member present with some of his popular tracks from his hit albums and Bollywood movies. “Bangalore is like my home and I always receive such a warm and thunderous appreciation from all of them that it feels great,” said the singer.

Dia Mirza marries Sahil Sangha

Huma wants to follow in Jolie’s footsteps

NEW DELHI: Actor Dia Mirza, sporting a Ritu Kumar-designed green and beige ensemble, exchanged marital vows with her beau and business partner Sahil Sangha here on October 19.

The couple, who got engaged in New York earlier this year, had an Arya Samaj wedding ceremony at a farmhouse in Ghitorni here. The duo came out post wedding and posed for the shutterbugs. If Dia looked royal in Kumar’s creation, the groom looked dapper in a Raghavendra Rathoredesigned outfit.

“The look is classic with no embroidery and comprises a cream silk linen brocade achkan with an emerald green pocket square. This has been paired with an inner emerald green kurta which matches with what Dia wore,” Rathore told IANS. “An offwhite safa with a sarpech which has emeralds embedded completes the look. Incidentally, we have also designed the outfits for his mehndi and sangeet,” he added.

NEW DELHI: Bollywood actor Huma Qureshi says she wants to follow in Hollywood star Angelina Jolie’s footsteps and direct a film when she grows older.

After delivering hits like Gia, Girl, Interrupted and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Jolie, 39, made her directorial debut with In the Land of Blood and Honey in 2011 and Qureshi, Ek Thi Daayan actor is inspired by her.

“Right now I can’t direct. Maybe at 55, I would like to direct. I will go the Angelina Jolie way,” the 28-year-old told IANS in a group interaction.

Asked if she would like to co-direct with actor and brother Saqib Saleem, Huma said: “Co-directing is not possible with my brother. We have very different opinions. Maybe, we will act in a film together. That will be exciting because both of us are very competitive actors so it would nice.”

For now Huma's happy playing an actress in Umesh Kulkarni's Marathi film, Highway.

“It is a collage of different stories that unfold on the Mumbai Pune highway,” she says. Then there's Sriram Raghavan's Badlapur based on a novel she was specifically told not to read.

According to sources, celebrities like Lara Dutta, Sushmita Sen Cyrus, Sahukar and Zayed Khan attended the wedding.

The former beauty queen has acted in Bollywood films such as Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein and Parineeta.

Sunny gets a shocker at ‘Splitsvilla’ MUMBAI: Actor Sunny Leone, who’s co-hosting and mentoring the contestants on TV show ‘Splitsvilla’, found herself at the receiving end of a contestant’s outburst. Shravan Reddy lost his cool and hurled a heavy Rajasthani jewellery box at a fellow contestant, but ended up hurting Sunny instead. The production team had to intervene.

n intense workout for as little as 20 minutes can enhance episodic or long term memory about previous events by about 10 percent in healthy young adults, say researchers.

Many existing studies have shown that long aerobic exercises like running can boost memory but the present study had participants lift weights just once every two days before testing them.

“Even without doing expensive MRI scans, our results give us an idea of what areas of the brain might be supporting these exercise-induced memory benefits,” said Audrey Duarte, an associate professor from the Georgia Institute of Technology’ school of psychology in the US. For the study, the team showed 90 photos to the participants on a computer screen before they started stretching their legs.

The participants returned to the lab 48 hours later and saw a series of 180 pictures - the 90 originals were mixed in with 90 new photos.

Those who exercised remembered about 60 percent of the photos.

“Our study indicates that people do not have to dedicate large amounts of time to give their brain a boost,” said Lisa Weinberg, a Georgia Tech graduate student who led the project.

Although the study used weight exercises, resistance activities such as squats or knee bends would likely produce the same results, noted Weinberg.

“The findings are encouraging because they are consistent with rodent literature that pinpoints exactly the parts of the brain that play a role in memory benefits caused by exercise,” concluded Lisa Weinberg. The study appeared in the journal Acta Psychologica.

Break-ups can shoo away Twitter friends

‘Sexting’ initiates sexual behavior in teens IANS, NEW YORK

S LONDON: If you have gone through break-up woes recently, be ready to lose your twitter followers too.

According to a study, break-ups can predict a loss of followers on social media. For the study, researchers analysed data from 80,000 users identified as couples.

They tracked these users from November 2013 to April 2014, filtered the data and arrived at a group of 661 pairs, who had been in a relationship but had broken up.

The result was shocking: not only did the communication between these couples decrease as they neared break-up, both people on either end of a break-up tended to lose 15 to 20 Twitter followers in the aftermath. It might be because of formerly mutual friends taking sides, the study said.

“It is also possible that the upsurge in ‘depressed’ tweets might drive away some followers,” the Daily Dot website noted, quoting the authors.

— IANS

ending sexually explicit images via phones or tablets is now a normal activity among teenagers, leading to increased sexual behavior among them, found a study. Sexting may serve as a gateway to actual sexual behavior or as a way to indicate one’s readiness to take intimacy onto the next level, researchers noted.

“Sexting is not strictly limited to at-risk teens any more. The results indicate that sexting may precede sexual intercourse in some cases and further cements the idea that sexting is a credible sign of teenage

sexual activity,” explained Jeff Temple, associate professor and psychologist at the University of Texas’ medical branch at Galveston. The findings are part of an ongoing six-year investigation of an ethnically diverse group of ado-

lescent students from south-east Texas.

The teenagers completed anonymous surveys detailing their history of sexting, sexual activity and other behavior throughout the six years. Researchers found that the odds of being sexually active as high school juniors was slightly higher for youth who sent a “sext” or naked picture of themselves the previous year, compared to teens who did not “sext”.

Further, researchers did not find a link between sexting and risky sexual behavior over time which may suggest that sexting is becoming a part of growing up.

Post a ‘sick selfie’ to get office leave!

NEW YORK: Not feeling like going to office? Post a “sick selfie” to prove to your boss that you are not feeling well. According to a survey, more people are posting images pretending to be unwell with the Twitter hashtag #sickieselfie.

“Showing off a hangover and to prove illness to friends or co-workers emerged as the most common reasons for uploading a ‘sick selfie’,” revealed web coupon site vouchercloud that conducted the survey.

Researchers asked 2,300 respondents between ages 18 and 45 about when and why they post selfies.

Parents could drive car choices of children IANS, NEW YORK

W

hat brand of car you drive may influence the car choices of your kids too, says a study.

Children are 39 percent more likely to buy a particular brand of automobile if their parents bought that brand, the findings showed.

“In theory, these findings could change the way automakers price and market their cars,” said study co-author Soren Anderson from Michigan State University in the U.S.

If young buyers approach dealers with prior loyalty to a brand, thanks to their parents, manufacturers might consider upping prices of entry-level vehicles.

Conversely, more incentives could be offered on sport utility vehicles and other high-end vehicles to snag older customers - and, eventually, their children.

The researchers studied auto ownership of more than 4,300 young adults matched to nearly 2,600 parents.

Survey data from the families was collected every two years between 1999 and 2011.
