A project hangs in balance

Even before elections, Jayalalitha hums a discordant note

Though Left parties, MDMK and PMK have all come together on a single platform in Tamil Nadu by aligning with AIADMK, the unity between them is more fragile than it appears.

Even before general elections are over, one of the cracks in this phalanx is already showing up: their joint approach to the controversial Sethusamudram project. The 2,427 crore project envisages a 167 km navigable channel to link India’s west and eastern coast. It saves 36 hours of sailing time by not circumnavigating Sri Lanka. The only hitch: construction of this channel in its current form entails blasting the mythical Ram Bridge, which finds mention in Ramayana, believed to have been used by Lord Rama’s all conquering army to reach Sri Lanka. The BJP, among others, has raised objections over 'hurting Hindu sentiments.’

Mired in this politico-religious controversy, the project was stalled when 33 per cent of it was complete. AIADMK chief and former chief minister, Jayalalitha, once an ardent supporter of this project, has opposed it citing religious and environmental reasons. Left, PMK and MDMK, then allies of DMK-Congress, were vocal supporters of this project. Recently, when alliance partners came together at a public meeting headed by Jayalalitha to introduce their candidates, they preferred to keep their silence on Sethusamudram. At the meeting a copy of the AIADMK manifesto was presented to CPM General secretary. Typed in bold letters was her categorical announcement: AIADMK will scrap Sethusamudram.

The AIADMK manifesto says the project will render millions of fishermen jobless. In addition, the Ram Bridge would be destroyed, both ideas unacceptable. Virtually, the only beneficiaries would be Union Shipping Minister, TR Baalu and Chief Minister, K Karunanidhi. How has the Left taken it? Says AM Gopu, central committee member of the CPI, choosing his words carefully: ''It is the opinion of AIADMK. We have a different opinion about this. Right now our goal is to make a non-BJP, non-Congress government. If voted to power we will decide on a policy of consensus.’’ The DMK, whose election manifesto presses for an early completion of the project, is already crying foul. Party organ 'Murasoli’ has ticked off its former alliance partners for keeping quiet on a project that had caught everyone’s imagination just a year ago. While more than Rs 600 crores have been already spent, the Centre has set up a committee of experts with TERI chief, RK Pachauri, as head to examine an alternative route without damaging the Ram Setu. The report is expected by this year end, a long time after a government is in place at the Centre.

What brinkmanship!


Jyotiraditya Scindia & Suresh Pachauri : MP

Is Jyotiraditya Scindia’s influence in Madhya Pradesh waning? It would appear so. In his battle of attrition with Pradesh Congress chief Suresh Pachauri, the younger Scindia looks like a certain loser. For the Bhopal seat, for instance, he first backed kayastha candidate Brajmohan Shrivastava. But when Pachauri got wind of this, he put up his own man for the job. Scindia, naturally, is hopping mad!

THE PRISTINE BEAUTY’S MEMORABILIA…

"GHAJINI" ACTRESS ASIN GOES DOWN MEMORY LANE TO HER BEST TIMES IN KERALA AND SRINAGAR, WITH TSI

Istarted working at the age of 14, so I haven't really had the chance to travel on my pocket money. But there are places that I have been to where one needn’t spend too much but can still enjoy the beauty that the place has to offer.

One such place is Srinagar, where I had recently been for a photo shoot. It is exactly like it is oft en described – a paradise. Th e place is calm and the people are warm. Th ough I was on a shoot, the fi rst day was free and so I just took off in the car to the surrounding villages. Th e women, children and all village folk there were very welcoming and extremely hospitable. I loved the dinner I had on the last day of my shoot. A campfi re was organised and we had a feast with about 30 food items from authentic Kashmiri cuisine.

One thing that should not be missed is the kawa (tea), which has a very diff erent and refreshing taste. Th e Dal Lake is the main attraction of Srinagar. I don’t think any shoot has taken place there for the last many years but I was lucky to be there, thanks to the nature of my job. Th e beauty of the lake and the scenery is something that will be etched in my mind forever. Th e people in the houseboats and those living on the banks are quite warm. Th ey invited us to their houses and also off ered us food. It was really nice to see that despite being complete strangers, the locals were so warm and friendly towards us. I basically like scenic places so, apart from Srinagar, the place that I have really enjoyed being in is Kerala. It is a refreshing break from cities like Mumbai. Th ough a modern state, Kerala still has that old world charm to it. Th e people are relaxed and lead a very slow paced life. Kerala is very popular for its backwaters. But there's a lot more to Kerala than the backwaters. Th ere are forests, hill stations and beaches. It’s a great holiday destination for anybody who wants to unwind and relax.

Raj Babbar


This man’s political trajectory is more like that of a modern day politician than a film star. His baptism in politics was in the heady days when V.P. Singh rode high on the platform against corruption. Singh faded into oblivion, but Raj Babbar remained a staunch supporter of the ‘Janata’ cum ‘socialist’ ideology where the Congress was the enemy. He did win Lok Sabha elections from Agra and proved that he was no mere upstart by winning again. Babbar became a senior leader of the party headed by Mulayam Singh Yadav. But then, this is politics in India. The ‘villain’ of Insaaf Ka Taraazu revolted against Amar Singh and parted ways with Samajwadi Party. He is now a Congress candidate from Fatehpur Sikri.

Among scenic hues Rahul Chaudhary walks the budget talk in gorgeous Geneva

Switzerland - Geneva in a flash


Speaking from experience, I can tell you that the so-called low-cost budget hotels aren’t really budget. The best option are youth hostels that can cost as low as $14 per night.

Accommodation taken care of, travel is the next biggest expense. A smart move is to get a travel pass, (and there’s a variety of them available) so choose the one that best suits your purpose. Better still, get your hands on a Rail Pass, in which are included busses and ferries. A day’s pass costing $35-$40 is not all that bad a choice for it gives you the option to travel anywhere in Switzerland. However, as long as you are confining yourself to Geneva, a Geneva Public Transport System day pass should suffice. And thanks to the efficient train service (you could set your watch to them), you’ll never find yourself lost. Finally, I could easily cut my food bills by half. If you can restrict alcohol consumption to what you buy from the convenience stores (Migros and Coop being not too far from wherever you might be), you’ll be cutting the food budget by half automatically. Look out for Coop (spoken as Co-op) and you can grab a quick bite and a refreshing drink in about $5-$10.

Geneva, by the way, isn’t cheap, but then nothing in Switzerland is. But in spite of that, I could scrape through in as little as $80 per day. Once there, you’ll realise that the biggest expenses in Switzerland are on accommodation, transportation and food... However, these can be cut down to a great extent without having to cut down on the experience, for the real beauty of Switzerland lies not in man-made marvels but in nature’s raw hues.

Go couch surfing, The granny flat out back that isn’t used any more.

Khao Aur Khilao budget by Arindam Chaudhuri
Shahrukh khan to Host IIPM 4Ps Annual Business and Marketing Quiz
2,300 IIPM students get jobs

This isn’t exactly armchair travel we’re recommending. Peter Moore, an irrepressible travel enthusiast – having charted one short of hundred countries so far – and author of books including "Vroom By The Sea", "The Full Montezuma", and "The Wrong Way Home" – proves that perfect holidays can be had for a pittance, if you went to some virtual ‘sites’ first…

I just spent the weekend in a narrowboat in Wiltshire, England. The boat was moored on a canal on a lonely stretch of farmland in Stanton St Bernard. I had cows for neighbours and a clear view of a giant white horse carved in the green hills when I woke up in the morning. I ate gammon, eggs and chips for breakfast and spent my evenings huddled around a campfire on the bank, swapping local tales and cider in the cold, clear night with my hosts Mitch and Kristy.

It was one of the most incredible travel experiences I’ve had on my journey around the UK – a rare moment where I got to commune with the English countryside. And do you want to know the best thing about it? All it cost me was a flagon of cider that I bought cheaply from a farmer across the way.

I found Mitch and Kristy through www.couchsurfing.com, a web site that provides a safe forum for people with a spare sofa to offer other people somewhere to stay. It was started in 2004 by Casey Fenton, a young American software programmer looking for somewhere cheap to lay his head in Reykjavik. Now users create profiles that include photos, interests, languages spoken and a description of their couch. Both hosts and guests rate each other – just like sellers and buyers on eBay – making the sleeping on a total stranger’s couch a somewhat safer concept.

At last count the site offered 1,017,429 couches across 232 countries and 55,911 cities. There are four in Bhutan, 17 in Afghanistan and 15 in Libya. More traditional destinations like the US, Australia and Europe offer the choice of thousands.

It’s not always a couch. It can be a spare room in a house where the children have left home for university. The granny flat out back that isn’t used any more. Or in Mitch and Kristy’s case, a bed at the back of a recently restored narrowboat. The ‘couches’ range across all levels of comfort from a basic futon in the lounge room to something altogether more amenable, even luxurious.

Travellers who use www.couchsurfing.com have quickly discovered that it offers more than just an affordable bed for the night. Mitch and Kristy proved to be willing and knowledgeable guides to the local area, taking me to fairy trees where people tied ribbons to the branches for good luck and to hilltop tombs where ancient Pagan kings were buried, introducing me a side of the Vale of Pewsey that I would have otherwise missed.

B C Khanduri : Uttaranchal

The world may go to beautiful, cool Uttaranchal as summers approach, but not its chief minister, Maj. Gen. Bhuvan Chandra Khanduri (retd), who is instead headed towards warmer Delhi to keep his seat cool. His gall bladder `surgery’ at Delhi’s Apollo Hospital has given rise to various speculations. State Congress leaders claim the general was escaping the heat generated by factional feuds and dissidence within the BJP. The adage “A stitch in time saves nine”, could’nt have applied better.

Leaving behind the memories of that stormy war of words on the reality show “Big Brother”, Shilpa Shetty put all her commitments on hold and flew down to London to meet the ailing Jade Goody. Unfortunately, Shilpa was denied permission to say good-bye to Jade since her condition had deteriorated and was heavily drugged. Shilpa had made India proud by winning the reality show, and we bet this gesture of hers will surely win a million hearts more.

Tragedy over a comedian!

Hindu activists stop Chaplin's statue from being erected

All his life he had given us clean laughter and a clear sense of democracy. That's Charlie Chaplin for you. But the Hindu culture mafia of Karnataka will not let his statue be erected in the state. Reason? He is a Christian! It is quite another matter that being a communist at heart, Chaplin practiced no religion and in any case, was born half Jewish. But Bharatiya Janata Party activists, led by one Suresh Batwadi shattered the dream of Kannada film director – Hemant Hegde – of erecting the 67-feet high statue at Byndoor.

Hegde had wanted to erect the biggest ever statue of the comedian, near the Someshwar temple in Udupi district, but had to change the venue after facing bitter opposition from the activists.

The statue, that would have cost about Rs 35 lakh, was needed for Hegde's Kannad film "Houseful". Initially, the director wanted to build the statue at a vantage point on a hilltop in Byndoor, but later he changed the location nearer to Someshwar beach, as the hilltop is restricted forest department land. “After getting permission from the district authorities and state information department on March 13, 2009, we started the foundation and welding works. Suddenly, around 20 activists led by Batwadi – claiming to be local Hindu activists – arrived and forcibly stopped the work. My plan was that after completing the shooting, I would gift the statue to the state tourist department,” says Hegde.

But Batwadi questioned the need for erecting the 'statue of a foreigner' near the Someshwar temple's entrance. “We do not want the statue just to get into the Limca Book of Records. We had not opposed this only because Chaplin was a Christian. Hegde used that as a gimmick for his film's publicity. But if he continues campaigning about us opposing 'a Christian statue', we won’t deny it,” says Batwadi.

Not only Hindu activists, even the Byndoor MLA, K Lakshminarayana, is opposed to the project, though not on religious grounds. He is against installing a human statue in a temple premise.

After being hounded out from Udupi district, Hegde has decided to change the location and has already applied for permission. "I hope to get permission from the state government to install the statue at either Gokarna Beach or Devbagh in the Karwar beach region," the director says. But chances of getting that crucial permission from the government departments seem bleak at this point in time.

Another reason could be that astrology rests on a bedrock of psychology.

Psychologist Sameer Pareikh thinks, the popularity of astrology columns is directly proportional to the level of insecurity in society. Earlier, people had their own family astrologer, but with modernization and the rise of the nuclear family, many don’t have even parents or close relatives to turn to for advice. Another reason could be that astrology rests on a bedrock of psychology.

Astrology is knocking at the doors of the universities too, In 2004, the Supreme Court approved university instruction in astrology, dismissing a petition asking it to strike down, a government decision to start graduate, post graduate and research courses in the subject.

The demand for mystical stones is also growing. From top stars like Amitabh Bachchan to a TV actor, almost all of them are flaunting the colored mystical stones in their finger.

While Sachin Tendulkar was suffering with many injuries and bad performances, he visited a pilgrim centre in the heart of Western Ghats of Karnataka, Kukke Subramanya. He performed number of rituals for overcoming ‘Naga Dosha’, which is considered as a very serious issue in traditional Kannadiga and Maharashtrian custom and Kukke Subramanya is a place to over come that ‘Dosha.’ Indian opener Robin Uthappa also followed his ‘GOD’ and did ‘Sarpa Dosha’ rituals with his parents in Kukke Subramanya. Former Indian Captain Ravi Shastri, Anil Kumble and Jayagal Srinath are also hardcore believer of Kuuke Subramanya.

These days one can talk to an astrologer as per one’s convenience, without any appointment, while maintaining privacy. The call rates are charged at Rs. 9 per minute, take advice from certified astrologers 24x7. The callers will be asked their birth date, birth time and place of birth. Following this information, the astrologer prepares a ’kundali’ and then gives a general prediction and answers specific questions, depending on the need of the caller. From career, marriage, kids, house, property and even lucky stones, complete professional advice is given by the astrologer. With Live astrology and Tarot, the traditional practices has reached higher levels using technology. Astrologer Shiv Kumar claims that he receives more than hundred calls everyday. People call even at four in the morning,”Naukari kab milegi? Ya phir yeh sab jo duniya main ho raha hai kyon ho raha hai? Kab khatam hoga? Jaise sawal zyadatar log puchatey hain..”

B-Town’s get-together


Recently, Amrita Arora got married and it was one joyous occasion, for as Amrita and beau Shakeel Ladak united, a lot of other people were inadvertently brought together. Among them were Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan, who kept a safe distance from each other, while sexy sirens Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor ended up bonding with each other and by the end of the evening, these two apparent rivals were pals!

US diplomacy - Hillary’s diplomatic big babus

Each region requires its own super sub-secretary of state to mobilise the coalitions

Thomas Friedman

Economist and NYT Columnist


It is way too soon to say what policy breakthroughs Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton will be known for at the State Department. But she has already left her mark bureaucratically. She has invented new diplomatic positions that say a great deal about the state of foreign policy in these messy times. I would call them “The Super Sub-Secretaries of State.”

Clinton has appointed three Super Sub-Secretaries – George Mitchell to handle Arab-Israel negotiations, Richard Holbrooke to manage Afghanistan-Pakistan affairs and Dennis Ross to coordinate Iran policy. The Obama team seems to have concluded that these three problems are so intractable that they require almost full-time secretary-of-state-quality attention. So, you need officials who have more weight and more time – more weight than the normal assistant secretary of state so they will be taken seriously in their respective regions and will have a chance to move the bureaucracy, and more time to work on each of these discrete, Gordian problems than a secretary of state can devote in a week. Some scoff that this approach is a sign of weakness on Clinton’s part. I’d hold off on that. If she can manage this diplomatic A-team, Clinton’s experiment could make a lot of sense. It is a much more disorderly world out there.

After the 1973 Arab-Israel war, then secretary of state Henry Kissinger set the gold standard for mediation by negotiating the disengagement agreements between Israel and Egypt and Israel and Syria – the first real peace accords ever struck between those parties. But Kissinger had it easy. He had to just forge an agreement between one pharaoh (Anwar Sadat), one military dictator (Hafez Assad) and one overwhelmingly powerful PM (Golda Meir), whose Labour Party then totally dominated Israel. All three of Kissinger’s interlocutors could speak for their people and deliver and sustain any agreements.

That is not true today in the main theatres of conflict, where the parties are either failing states with multiple power centres – Afghanistan, Pakistan and Palestine – or strong states with governments so fractious and hydra-headed that they border on paralysed – Israel and Iran. The political struggles in these societies are so virulent today that until they are defused, it will be very difficult to make any deal between them. That is why you need sub-secretaries of state.

Franklin to Thomas Paine

One of America's Founding Fathers, Thomas Paine, critiques Christianity and the Bible as a Deist. When Paine wrote, the idea of examining the Bible as a text objectively, let alone critically, was unheard of. Paine finds many of the internal contradictions and atrocities of the Bible and lays them out with withering scorn. In this letter, Benjamin Franklin respond to a manuscript Paine sent him that advocated against the concept of a providential God. A hero of the American Revolution, whose writings had influenced the French Revolution as well, Paine was criticised by all his fellow comrades for questioning Christian dogmas.

April 12, 1788, Philadelphia

Dear Friend

To bI have read your manuscript with some attention. By the argument it contains against a particular Providence, though you allow a general Providence, you strike at the foundations of all religion. For without the belief of a Providence, that takes cognizance of, guards, and guides, and may favour particular persons, there is no motive to worship a Deity, to fear his displeasure, or to pray for his protection.

I will not enter into any discussion of your principles, though you seem to desire it. At present I shall only give you my opinion, that, though your reasoning are subtile and may prevail with some readers, you will not succeed so as to change the general sentiments of mankind on that subject, and the consequence of printing this piece will be, a great deal of odium drawn upon yourself, mischief to you, and no benefit to others. He that spits against the wind spits in his own face.

But, were you to succeed, do you imagine any good would be done by it? You yourself may find it easy to live a virtuous life, without the assistance afforded by religion; you having a clear perception of the advantages of virtue, and the disadvantages of vice, and possessing strength of resolution sufficient to enable you to resist common temptations. But think how great a portion of mankind consists of weak and ignorant men and women, and of inexperienced, inconsiderate youth of both sexes, who have need of the motives of religion to restrain them from vice, to support their virtue, and retain them in the practice of it till it becomes habitual, which is the great point for its security.

And perhaps you are indebted to her originally, that is, to your religious education, for the habits of virtue upon which you now justly value yourself. You might easily display your excellent talents of reasoning upon a less hazardous subject, and thereby obtain a rank with our most distinguished authors. For among us it is not necessary, as among the Hottentots, that a youth, to be raised into the company of men, should prove his manhood by beating his mother.

I would advise you, therefore, not to attempt unchaining the tiger, but to burn this piece before it is seen by any other person; whereby you will save yourself a great deal of mortification by the enemies it may raise against you, and perhaps a good deal of regret and repentance. If men are so wicked with religion, what would they be if without it. I intend this letter itself as a proof of my friendship, and therefore add no professions to it; but subscribe simply yours,



B. Franklin

“The next scenario is the mujahideen being dumped by America and later the emergence of Taliban.

Prof. Syed Haroon Ahmed, a distinguished psychiatrist analyses terrorism in Pakistan, historically speaking. Asked to explain this rising tide – and how it was affecting relations in the neighbourhood - Ahmed explains: “Historically, before the emergence of Bangladesh in 1971, nationalist forces based their policies to get their share from the federal government: In the then West Pakistan, they talked about Sindhudesh, greater Balochistan and Pushtoonistan and the most affected were the people of East Pakistan.”

According to Ahmed, after the emergence of Bangladesh, the military and civil bureaucracy in Pakistan encouraged religious parties, who were not in the mainstream politics. After the withdrawal of Soviet forces from Afghanistan religious fundamentalist parties were under the illusion that they had brought the downfall of Soviet Union – not the massive American and logistic support by the Pakistan government. “The next scenario is the mujahideen being dumped by America and later the emergence of Taliban. The former were used for fomenting insurgency in Kashmir while the latter were firmly supported by successive Pakistani governments. This policy has had a great impact on Pakistan society, which is now more or less in a state of civil war.”

Just how much has been the road travelled during the last 40 years? I would say it has undergone a metamorphosis. I remember when our comrade, Farooq, was badly injured during a police lathi charge at Karachi's national stadium. The Chairman of the PCCB, Essa Jafar, dropped into the NSF office to apologise, even though it were the same students who had disrupted the international match, the same day. Today, Pakistan’s society has been brutalised to such an extent that unknown marauders slaughter humans unabashedly and people are condemned to live in constant fear and anxiety.

The person who performs Ali Bhuta belongs to communities called Nalike, Parava and Pambada and other such scheduled tribes.

Members of all communities in the village take part in the Nemothsava. Dr. Bilimale explains, “The person who performs Ali Bhuta belongs to communities called Nalike, Parava and Pambada and other such scheduled tribes. Its management is in the hands of the land-owning classes and upper castes like Bunts, Mogaviras, Gowdas, Billavas and Brahmins. Certain other communities are assigned the responsibilities of organising and mobilising the necessary resources for the ritual. Hence it is a community effort.”

The devout are unconcerned. “I am not bothered with any communal discord; I only believe in Ali Bhuta, who offers protection, prosperity, good crop and wealth for the entire community. So I prefer to go to Arikkadi every year. I have been visiting since my college days. With god’s grace and my efforts, I am in a good position now. Actually, people want peace; the political powers are the ones playing games,” opines Sajida, of Mangalore. Games that nobody wished to be reminded of, at least at the Nemothsava…
