State coordinator of the NRC update process, Prateek Hajela, told mediapersons today that he will take up the matter with the apex court in the next hearing slated for October 26. Of the five lakh documents sent to 26 different states for NRC verification verification, only 7,000 of them have been reverted which is very less, Hajela stated. Apart from these, 402 NRC related documents have also been sent to nearly 40 countries, including Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, China, Japan, UAE, Vietnam, Trinidad and Tobago, Australia, Sweden, Kuwait and South Africa, among others. Of these countries, only Kuwait and South Africa have responded to the verification pleas. He also stated that there has been no paucity of funds and the Centre has already agreed to release the next instalment shortly. Of the estimated Rs 908 crore, the State has already received nearly Rs 335 crore. The Centre has assured to release the remaining Rs 573 crore very shortly, he informed, adding that the maximum amount of money is being spent on expenses related to data entry. Rubbishing media reports on leakage of NRC documents, Hajela reaffirmed that all the NRC documents are completely safe and the update process is going on at a fast speed. He divulged that of the six crore documents issued by Over 80 Pak terrorists entered J-K in 16 R DUTTA CHOUDHURY GUWAHATI, Oct 20: The desperation of Pakistan-based terrorists to infiltrate into India to create disturbance is evident from the fact that more than 80 terrorists managed to enter Jammu and Kashmir till the end of September this year as compared to only 33 last year. The Multi Agency Centre (MAC) compiled the data of infiltration of terrorists from Pakistan on the basis of intelligence inputs, actions by the Pak warns India on Indus Water Treaty ISLAMABAD, Oct 20: Pakistan today warned of appropriate action if India violates the Indus Water Treaty and said it is closely monitoring the situation, amid reports that New Delhi may revisit the security forces, communication intercepts, etc. Highly placed security sources told The Assam Tribune that as per the data compiled by the MAC, the terrorists made as many as 124 attempts to infiltrate into India from Pakistan this year and altogether 87 terrorists managed to sneak into the country. More than 30 terrorists managed to enter India during the three-month long unrest in the Kashmir Valley. Interestingly, the Government of Jammu and Kashmir key water-sharing accord. Appropriate action will be taken in line with the Treaty in case of any violation by India, Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said at the weekly briefing. (See page 4) has not yet been able to find out how many youths from the valley joined the terrorist groups during the unrest and it is suspected that the terrorist groups managed to recruit a number of local youths by taking advantage of the long unrest. The MAC records indicate that infiltration of terrorists from Pakistan into India, particularly to Jammu and Kashmir, is a regular feature and the figure of terrorists who manage to sneak in varies from (See page 4) Pakistan was keeping a close eye on the situation, Radio Pakistan quoted him as saying. Zakaria s remarks come amid reports that India may review the 56-year-old Treaty. He said that India is making desperate attempts to divert attention from the atrocities and human right violations being committed in Kashmir. He said Pakistan is highlighting Indian brutalities in Kashmir at world fora and there has been very substantive outcome of these efforts but the international community remains concerned about the situation. Responding to a question, he claimed that India violated ceasefire on the Line of Control for more than 90 times this year. The notion of isolating Pakistan is ridiculous, Zakaria said, adding that India s negative attitude has been exposed which is the biggest hurdle in the way of regional development and prosperity.

Reuters (Reports on Page 16) Banks recall over 32 lakh debit cards MUMBAI/NEW DELHI, Oct 20: Hit by an unprecedented ATM security breach, several public and private sector banks have recalled or blocked over 32 lakh debit cards to safeguard their customers from any financial fraud, while the government has sought from them details of all necessary safety measures. Bankers said the recalled cards include those that have been replaced as a pre-emptive measure, while in many cases the customers have been asked to mandatorily change the PIN and other security numbers to resume using the blocked cards. While there were some reports about certain cards, affected by security breach, having been used fraudulently abroad including in China, bankers appeared putting the blame on a payment services provider that manages ATM network of a private sector bank. State-run SBI is said to have recalled around six lakh cards, while others like Bank of Baroda, IDBI Bank, Central Bank and Andhra Bank have also replaced debit cards of several customers as a pre-emptive measure. Among the private sector players, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Yes Bank have asked customers to change their ATM PINs. HDFC Bank also advised its customers to use its own ATMs for carrying out any transaction. The suspected security breach happened through a malware in the systems of Hitachi Payments Services, which serves ATM network of Yes Bank.

NATIONAL FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2016 Discriminatory practises cannot be held integral to freedom of religion: Law minister on triple talaq NEW DELHI, Oct 20: While India respects freedom of religion and faith, unreasonable or discriminatory practises cannot be held integral to it and protected, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said today defending the Centre s stand on triple talaq amid a raging debate on the contentious issue. He cited the practice of untouchability to assert that religious practices need to be in accord with constitutional values and emphasised that gender justice, gender equality and gender dignity were at the core of the Narendra Modi government s priority.... We respect freedom of religion and freedom of faith which are protected by the fundamental rights. But every unreasonable or discriminatory practice cannot be held integral to faith... For instance, can anyone claim that untouchability against Dalits flows from my faith and I can practice it. Therefore, religious practices also need to be in accord with the constitutional values, Pras- ad told PTI in an interview. The government had on October 7 opposed in the Supreme Court the practice of triple talaq among Muslims, maintaining that it cannot be regarded as an essential part of religion. Responding to questions on the issue of triple talaq, the senior BJP leader said Sardarpura riot: HC upholds life sentence of 17, acquits 14 AHMEDABAD, Oct 20: The Gujarat High Court today acquitted 14 persons out of 31 convicted by a lower court and confirmed life sentence of 17 others, in the 2002 postgodhra Sardarpura massacre case in which 33 people were burnt alive. A division bench of Justices Harsha Devani and Biren Vaishnav confirmed the life imprisonment of 17 persons. However, 14 of the 31 convicted by the lower court were acquitted by the high court due to lack of evidence and contradiction in witnesses account. In all, 76 accused were arrested in Sardarpur case by police, out of whom two died during pendency of trial, while one was a juvenile. The court had framed charges against 73 accused in June 2009 and initiated trial in the case. Besides the conviction of 31, the lower court had acquitted 42 others. The SIT later challenged in high court the acquittal of 31 persons out of these 42. However, the HC today upheld the Mehsana district court order acquitting 31 out of these 42. Meanwhile, the 17 were convicted by high court for murder, attempt to murder, rioting and other sections of IPC. The HC also upheld the decision of lower court to not accept the conspiracy theory put up by the prosecution, which had alleged that the attack on minority community was pre-planned and a conspiracy was hatched following the Godhra train burning incident. Thirty one persons were earlier awarded life sentence along with a fine of Rs 50,000 each in the verdict passed by special SIT court judge SC Srivastava while hearing the matter on November 9, 2011. As many as 73 people were made accused in the case, in which 33 people of minority community were burnt to death at Sardarpura in Vijapur taluka of Mehsana district on the night of February 28, 2002. PTI Jayalalithaa completely well, will return home soon CHENNAI, Oct 20: AIADMK today asserted that its hospitalised supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa was completely well and will return home soon. Amma (Jayalalithaa) has progressed very well under the daily monitoring of Apollo Hospital doctors and specialists and soon she will return home, AIADMK spokesperson CR Saraswathy told reporters here. She said Jayalalithaa, who had dedicated her life for public service, was taking rest as per doctors advice. Otherwise, she is completely well and will come home soon. God is by her side on her health, she said. A number of benefits were awaiting the people of Tamil Nadu, she said in an apparent reference to the many pro-people measures launched by the Jayalalithaa government and indicating that more were likely to be announced. 68-year-old Jayalalithaa was admitted to the Apollo Hospital on September 22 after she complained of fever and dehydration. A specialist from London besides three-member team of doctors from AIIMS, Delhi, had also examined Jayalalithaa, who is being treated for infection with respiratory support. Meanwhile, former AIADMK minister and BJP leader HV Hande also expressed confidence that Jayalalithaa will return home soon. Hande visited Apollo Hospitals and said he met the doctors and Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha, M Thambidurai. He was informed that the passive physiotherapists were taking good care to Jayalalithaa, he said. I am confident she will return home within a week or 10 days, Hande said. PTI a set of women cannot lose their rights for being from a particular religion. Can in a secular country like India a big chunk of women be forced to live in a state of vulnerability only on the ground that they belong to a particular religion? he questioned. Noting that gender equality stands embedded right from the day the Constitution came into existence, the minister said development and empowerment of women were also among government s priorities. He said the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao programme has become a big movement and the Modi government s campaign against infanticide shows that the government takes the issue of gender equality seriously. You recall his famous statement on Vijay Dashmi day (in Lucknow) that for one Sita, Lanka was burnt and you kill a Sita every day in the womb... In mudra yojna, 70 per cent beneficiaries are women. Sukanya Samriddhi Yojna of the postal department has crossed more than a crore...revolutionary, Prasad said.

CITY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2016 Fancy Bazar residents move GMC over garbage dumps STAFF REPORTER GUWAHATI, Oct 20: Garbage dumps in their area, lying unattended for days together, have forced residents of Ward No 9 in Fancy Bazar area to move the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC). In a written complaint, the residents expressed anguish at the inaction of the GMC despite being reminded of the problem in the past. A lot of garbage is thrown in our area. The garbage has accumulated over the years and the sites have turned into huge dumps, making the environment polluted and unhealthy. In fact, the garbage dumps have apparently led to spread of diseases in the area, the residents complained. They also noted that the environment has made it difficult for commuters to pass through the area. We lodged a complaint with the authorities in July last, with a copy to the councillor, but to no avail, a resident said. In this new era when both the Central and the State governments are promoting the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan for a green and clean India, this problem in our locality raises a big question mark on the campaign, the residents said in a letter to the GMC Commissioner along with photographs of the garbage dumps. The residents requested the GMC Commissioner to take necessary action to clear the garbage dumps. Science drama GUWAHATI, Oct 20: The Regional Science Centre, Guwahati is organising a zonal level science drama competition tomorrow in its Khanapara premises. Teams from different NE states will participate in it.

Inaugurating the cleanliness drive, Purohit called upon everybody to contribute to maintain a clean environment and exhibit a sense of responsibility for making the State clean and green. Stressing the need of cleanliness drives, he said cleanliness drives are a wonderful opportunity for people s participation and act as a force multiplier to raise awareness about the importance of cleanliness in one s life. The Governor also emphasised placing dustbins in market places so that garbage is thrown into the dustbin and not littered around. Deputy Commissioner Kamrup Vinod Seshan, other senior officers and staff of the district administration also participated in the cleanliness drive.

STAFF REPORTER Workshop on ethical hacking STAFF REPORTER GUWAHATI, Oct 20: A cyber security expert B Tech student teamed up with a cyber security analyst to conduct a two-day workshop on ethical hacking recently at the Azara campus of the Assam Don Bosco University (ADBU). ADBU s Department of Computer Science & Engineering and Information Technology organised the event christened BoscoHack-2016. The resource persons were Lakshya Jyoti Borah, co-founder and chief technology officer of Gratia Technology Private Ltd and Indrajeet Bhuyan, a second year ADBU B Tech student. It was really a good experience to be able to teach more than 120 students from differ- ent institutions of the region and outside, Bhuyan, who developed the smallest possible code in the world (2kb) which could crash Whatsapp, said. Bhuyan added, Our workshop on ethical hacking and cyber security was different from other workshops as we mainly focused on giving handsin session rather than just theoretical knowledge. And latest case studies were covered. Bhuyan said that young minds are always tempted towards hacking and so it is necessary to give them a proper direction, explaining the good side of this field so that they understand the importance of security and understand the responsibility before misusing it. Golaghat-based cyber security trainer Lakshya Jyoti Bo- rah has trained more than 4,000 students and even government officials in various colleges and universities of Assam. The event was sponsored by Github, Cybrary, Skillshare and HackerRank. The topics covered in the workshop included introduction to ethical hacking, foot printing and reconnaissance, scanning networks, enumeration, Google hacking and advanced Google hacking, online account hacking and security, data hiding techniques, android hacking and SMS spoofing, Trojans and RATS, hacking email accounts and tracing, introduction to DVWA and Kali Linux etc. The event was attended by 125 participants from various institutions across the country.

6 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE, GUWAHATI FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2016 MESSAGE FOR TODAY All things are connected. CHIEF SEATTLE Uri India-Myanmar ties India s relation with our eastern neighbour Myanmar is of great value. Over the decades, despite the Chinese efforts to meddle in the region, the two countries have been able to maintain cordial ties. No doubt, there have been issues of divergence. India was at times forced to tread cautiously due to the fact that Myanmar for decades was ruled by a succession of military juntas. However, both sides have managed to overcome such hassles. Now with multiparty democracy back in Myanmar and a civilian leadership looking to steer the country towards the path of peace and development, more possibilities have opened up for further strengthening of bilateral ties between New Delhi and Naypyidaw. The India visit of Myanmar s top leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who holds the position of State Counsellor and Foreign Minister, portends well for the future of India-Myanmar relations. The two countries have found many points of common interest and have signed agreements to boost cooperation in power, banking and insurance sectors, as well as step up ties in diverse areas like oil and gas, agriculture, renewable energy and health care. A strategy for close security coordination in border areas, keeping in view the sensitivity of each other s strategic interests, has also been decided upon. The Archaeological Survey of India will work on restoring two old temples and inscriptions of King Mindon and King Bagyidaw in Bodh Gaya. Better ties between India and Myanmar will not only bring dividends in areas of security but also boost trade and commerce on both sides. India has been a major trading partner of Myanmar for centuries. Since the signing of a trade agreement in 1970, bilateral trade has been growing steadily. It rose from $328 million in 1997-98 to over $2 billion in 2015-16. The State Bank of India had recently announced its entry into Myanmar by opening a branch in Yangon. Diversified conglomerate Tata Group has also strengthened its presence in Myanmar with the establishment of a new office there. As per Suu Kyi, Myanmar will come up with new investment guidelines to make her business environment transparent for foreign companies, which could act as a bonanza for Indian firms. For India, Myanmar is a gateway to the markets of entire South-east Asia. Both India and Myanmar are victims of insurgency in their respective border regions. Terrorist groups of both countries are known to share camps and help each other. While the armed forces and security agencies of both countries have cooperated in each other s efforts to curb the terrorist outfits, a lot more can be achieved. Indian political leaders could do well not to indulge in chestthumping when our forces engage in tactical actions, like what happened last year when elite units of Indian Army went inside Myanmar to wipe out camps of insurgent groups. With proper strategy, the future of India- Myanmar relations looks even better. Boosting agriculture Favourable conditions notwithstanding, the State s agriculture sector is nowhere near realizing its potential. Even as interventions are being made, the desired impact has been far from visible. The growth rate of agriculture still remains well below national average, let alone competing with other agriculturally-advanced States. While the vagaries of nature like recurring and un-seasonal floods and dry spells continue to be a bane for agriculture, the required technological interventions continue to elude those who need it the most. Shrinking of agricultural land due to erosion and change in land use patterns particularly transfer of farmland for industrial and commercial purposes has also hit the sector hard. Slack laws on holding and transfer of land in tribal belts and blocks is creating a situation in which outsiders are increasingly falling upon the land of the indigenous. The situation is also fraught with ominous portents on the State s socio-political front as well. It is against this backdrop that one needs to consider the ambitious Rs 30,000-crore Chief Minister s Samagra Gramya Unnayan Yojana that seeks to double farm income by 2022. On the face of it, it is a much-needed move, given that our agriculture badly needs substantial investment. However, such a huge financial intervention within a period of just five years as promised by the State Government seems a bit unrealistic. In the past also, we had seen how the previous State Government made it a habit of announcing projects at the drop of a hat without actually implementing those on the ground. Implementing this project, therefore, will be a real test for the Government. The project, to be implemented across 25,000 revenue villages, primarily focuses on agriculture and related activities besides convergence of various departmental schemes, protection of land resources, enhanced irrigation, and skill development. The stagnancy setting in our agriculture can be explained by the fact that scientific interventions continue to be distanced from agriculture, thanks to an overall lack of vision, poor planning and tardy implementation at government level. The very fact that agriculture continues to be pursued in a primordial manner by a majority of the farmers who are landless and marginal having small land holdings is a poor commentary on the state of affairs concerning this vital sector. Multiple cropping so essential at a time when we are to feed a burgeoning population stays a non-starter. Despite recurring weather-induced crop losses, the farmers do not yet have access to crop insurance. These are some of the basic areas requiring government intervention. There is a definite need to bring the fruits of scientific research to the marginalized farming community. They require all the expertise related to crop production, management, post-harvest technologies and value-addition, storage, market linkage and institutional finance. Unless these issues are addressed, poor remuneration for the toiling farmers will continue to be the reality. attack and its aftermath Brig BC Sarmah (retd) On September 18, 2016, the Pakistan-supported terrorists had attacked the Uri garrison of Indian Army resulting in a very high toll of 19 soldiers death. Though all the four militants involved in the attack were also killed, this is not of much consequence. The Uri attack had crossed the threshold of our national tolerance. There was louder public passion and sentiment for immediate retaliation to pay them back in their own coins. Usually, groups of militants infiltrate in a particular region to carry out pre-planned operations on selected targets. When a set of militants is engaged in an operation, some remain in waiting (militarily termed as reserves). If there is panic and pandemonium caused by the attack in the target area, these waiting terrorists move in to inflict further damage on the target. So an increased vigil not only prevents further militant action in the area but also assists to intercept the ex-filtrating terrorists. Therefore, sensitizing ourselves with the impending threats and upgrading the vigil is unavoidable. Further, after detailed deliberations, the lessons learnt from the operation are drawn and implemented as applicable, besides disseminating to the forces deployed in the region for appropriate amalgamation in their operation routine. It must be appreciated that despite the changing designs of adversities which our troops face in such frontier areas, each jawan always remains in a very high state of morale and motivation. Post-Uri there had been a few more tantalizing events. On September 26 last, in her speech in the UN General Assembly, Exter- Letters to the EDITOR Sir, It s really good news for the people of Assam, and also for those in Meghalaya, that the management of the worldrenowned United Nations University (UNU) has approached the State governments of both the States to set up their campus either in Assam or in Meghalaya. On behalf of UNU, the Indian Federation of United Nations Association has approached and written to the Assam Government seeking allocation of land to set up United Nations University. The Federation is the leading independent policy authority on the UN in India and is an India-wide grassroots membership organization. UNU is a global think-tank and postgraduate teaching organization with its headquarters in Japan. The establishment of the university will definitely make nal Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj told the UN that Pakistan, which is aiming to capture Jammu and Kashmir by sponsoring terrorism, should stop dreaming about it because Kashmir is and will always remain an integral part of India. Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif during his speech from the same podium on September 21 last remarked that India always laid preconditions for friendship. Swaraj rebutted the claim with several The concurrent importance of POK and Kashmir is growing only from the Pakistan s point of view. The CPEC highway passes through Gilgil-Baltistan which lies in POK. So under no circumstances Pakistan will like to part with (or to be even interfered with) POK. Thus, there have been all out attempts by Pakistan to internationalize the Kashmir issue. examples. Her speech much have given a jolt to our neighbour. Then came the surgical strike. This strike should have put them into recoil action. Subsequently on October 2, the militants attacked the Rashtriya Rifles post in Janbazpor, on the outskirts of Baramullah; again on October 10 morning, the militants attacked the head office of Jammu and Kashmir Entrepreneurship Development Institute (JKEDI) in the Pampore area located on the outskirts of Srinagar and another attack on the SSB jawans on October 13 in Srinagar. One way these actions may be taken as a routine affair because prior to the annual snowfall, during which the passes remain close, thus the trans-border infiltration ceases, the militants are known to accelerate their operations. Alternatively, these may well be the reactions of the surgical strike. As these actions are repetitive; we have to seriously consider retaliatory actions from minor operations in the LoC area, transborder actions, economic trading like raising import tariffs, interfere with trade ties between the two countries, withdraw the MFN status and other diplomatic measures. It must be understood that a full-scale war is economically extremely expensive; more so as the aftereffects are on the entire civilization, which may be devastating as both the countries possess nuclear capability. For a peaceloving country like India, this option must be the last resort. Pakistan is in the confluence of some of the greatest civilizations which includes India, China, Persia, etc. Therefore, all these countries will stake a claim in the area. The USA needs Pakistan for settling the Afghanistan turmoil. Russia has its own interest, that s why their troops were in Pakistan during September-October (i.e., post- Uri) for a fortnight-long joint military exercise. Countries of the Middle-east have their own affiliations. And China has a major role in the entire gamut. So we have to be really very sure as to who would be in a position to support our retaliatory action(s). Talking about the most sensitive issue of Kashmir, Pakistan has occupied the western part of Kashmir, which is called Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK). Now they are constantly fighting for complete Kashmir. We have to regularly review our stance towards Kashmir so that it remains stable under all circumstances. Concurrently, we must formulate our strategy towards the POK. The eastern part of Kashmir has its own dispute on the LoC redrawn from the Karakoram pass to Chusul, south of Pangong Tso. This disputed area also calls for serious diplomatic resolve. Here the Chinese involvement in Pakistan, mainly on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), assumes significance. CPEC is a corridor which the Chinese are building across Pakistan from Gilgit to Gwadar (southwestern part of Pakistan). This is mainly the construction of a six-lane highway, passing through entire Pakistan from north to south through Balochistan up to the port at Gwadar. Besides this highway, quite a few subsidiary roads are planned to be made, some industries are to come up along this highway and finally, Gwadar port is being given a new shape including an international airport. All these initiatives are going to cost the Chinese billions of dollars. Therefore, the dividends must be very high. Presently, China is using the Indian Ocean route from the Strait of Hormuz (where the Chinese have made heavy business investments Market economy and regionalism in Assam Tulika Sarmah Although the Constitution of India has not defined the term federal, it has provided for a structure of governance which is essentially federal in nature. Federalism requires understanding and negotiations between the Centre and State governments in the making and implementation of policies. However, it is observed that national parties tend to lead to centralization of powers and more so after the BJP-led Government took charge at the Centre. With a thrust on making a stronger India, the present Narendra Modi Government is overriding the essence of federalism and trampled on the basic tenets of regional interests by actively propagating and over-implying on the one nation, one religion, one language policy. It is a known fact that regional parties have been playing major roles in the national policies and further federalized the working of federalism. While the parliamentary wings of most of the national political parties played a hegemonic role and voices from below were ignored and dissidence forcefully curbed, the need for a truly decentralized federal polity has been a constant demand of the States as the changing nature of the party system and the growing importance of regional parties have federalized the working of Indian democracy to a large extent. The growth of regional parties by and large is the outcome of overcentralization by national leaders and government. The regional parties in many States started making suggestions for restructuring of the Centre-State relations so as to ensure greater autonomy of the State. The southern Chief Ministers took the initiative of seeking drastic changes in the Centre-State relations from the 70s onward, followed up by the North-eastern States forming a regional parliamentary forum. Their demands gave a new dimension to the States need to meet financial requirements for development and disaster management. The Sarkaria Commission appointed by the Central Government only vindicated the long-standing demand of reorientation to Centre-State relations. The emergence of some powerful regional parties in various States and their successful run in electoral politics proved beyond doubt that there had been something wrong in governance. In this backdrop, it was quite natural that smaller parties could form political alliances to give a new impetus to the growing need to re-examine Centre-State relations so as to remove the imbalance in fiscal, legislative and administrative relations in the true federal spirit. In a significant development, the Federal Front was formed consisting of regional parties like the TDP, TMC, DMK and AGP so as to protect the interests of the States they were representing. It was all about gaining a better bargaining power in relation to the Centre and for that matter the regional parties are the partners of consecutive UPA and NDA coalition governments. But in multiparty democratic rule, two or more parties usually sink their basic ideological differences and work with a common agenda. The AGP and BJP suspended their political strife though historically they have got a much amplified common cause of safeguarding the interests of the ethnic Assamese for power sharing; but to what extent they could stick to this self-proclaimed agenda posed a big question. This scepticism comes from the fact that the polity of Assam is largely dependent on the market economy which is controlled by the national capital by the course of time which earned a multinational character under the influence of the business community. It is needless to say, the market in Assam is remote-controlled from United Nations University in Assam Assam the only second place to have a UN institute in the world after the first one in Tokyo. This will definitely be a major landmark in the world map. It may be recalled here that the authorities in UNU wrote to Assam Government to allot land for the project way back in 2014. However, the Congress-led Government failed to give any response to this. On August this year also, the authorities in UNU wrote to the Assam Government again seeking a favourable response in this regard. Now, it s up to the BJP-led Government in Assam to respond to this much-awaited project. As per media reports, the Government of Meghalaya has taken the proposal from this internationally-renowned university to set up their campus in Meghalaya very seriously. Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal should take up the matter on a priority basis keeping the greater interest of the State in mind. This university will offer special courses on Social Science, Humanities, Science and Technology, and United Nations Studies at various levels including graduation, PG and research. Students from all over the world can pursue education from this topclass educational establishment. This will be a great opportunity in promoting Guwahati as a regional hub in sectors like education, social, economy and tourism. I therefore request the Government of Assam to take immediate steps to take this golden opportunity to set up such a global institute in the State. Yours etc., CHINMOY SHYAMAL GOSWA- MI, Guwahati. Citizenship Bill Sir, With reference to the article Proposed Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016 by Harekrishna Deka (AT, Oct 19), it can be said that providing citizenship on the basis of religion is purely against the very nature of our secular constitution. Again, how a man can be distinguished as a Hindu or Muslim or Buddhist when there is every possibility of religious conversion just to attain Indian citizenship? A Bangladeshi national coming to India hardly has any valid document on the basis of which we can know his religion. So I think these people will try to prove themselves as religious minorities by any means after the Act comes into force. Yours etc., DIBYAJYOTI DAS, BVFCL Colony, Namrup. Fire safety Sir, The devastating fire in the SUM Hospital at Bhubaneswar, Odisha should be an eye opener to the government, public as well as the patients which need to take recourse to costly medical treatment offered by private hospitals. Twenty patients died and more than hundred injured in the incident. It was found that the hospital not only flouted the required firefighting norms but in the African countries) to move along south of Sri Lanka, to Malacca Strait and finally travel north to reach the Chinese waters (South China Sea). This is time consuming, far too costly and vulnerable to interference. However, if Gwadar is made, they have to travel only a few hundred miles in the sea and thereafter they move along the CPEC to reach China, which eventually will gain in trillions, at a little cost offered to Pakistan. That being the importance of CPEC, China is likely to be in Pakistan s side. The concurrent importance of POK and Kashmir is growing only from the Pakistan s point of view. The CPEC highway passes through Gilgil-Baltistan which lies in POK. So under no circumstances Pakistan will like to part with (or to be even interfered with) POK. Thus, there have been all out attempts by Pakistan to internationalize the Kashmir issue. The CPEC highway also passes through Balochistan, where there is internal turmoil. That s why the mention of this by our Prime Minister during his Independence Day speech sent shock waves through neighbour s military-civil heavyweights. Our lobbying with China to expose Pakistan as a terrorsponsoring state will surely be a preferable diplomatic step. Lastly, we as citizens of India must play our own role as correctly as possible, repose complete trust on our decision-makers to enable them to initiate balanced actions. We also have one of the most professional armed forces in the world, which is performing roundthe-clock duties in most hostile terrains with elan. It will be wise to comment least on their actions, which are anyway answerable to the government. Let the armed forces do their job. Fancy Bazar and it is always funding the most powerful or would-be powerful national party and for this, the regional outfits have already lost their original charm. So the market-accrued compulsions shift to either the Congress or the BJP and that shift in the run-up to the last Assembly election was easily compounded by a resurgent BJP and a downsized AGP. The regional party which ruled the State for two terms thus became a slender force to reckon with and the market that finances the political bosses shrewdly read through this writing on the wall. In the course of time, it is the loss of the bargaining power of the region-centric polity against the gain achieved by a national political party. The national or multinational capital does not find it safe to invest in a regional political outfit which is at a loser s end. The electorate is helpless and they could not understand the game plan of the bigwigs working in tandem with the big business or capitalist class. Although in the changing situations quite a few regional parties joined hands with the saffron party, they are not in a position to put their demand boldly before the Centre and the results are too stern for all to see. The question that is to be asked now is: Can the BJP-AGP combine take the State s predominantly agrarian economy back on the rescue path? In spite of having fertile land and huge water resources, Assam is lagging behind in agro-economy and her farmers are always at a pitiful condition for lack of right kind of help from the government and lack of proper marketing of their products. The nagging troubles caused by regular floods and erosion add to their plight, without mercy and without any respite following the havoc. When the mainstay of the economy is in doldrums, a healthy growth is all but assuring and a market-dominated economy is seemingly in no mood to rectify the misdeeds resulted from rampant corruption and mismanagement in agricultural sector. The regional parties too are answerable to this state of affairs. But there is every doubt over whether they will act on their own, or stick to their original ideological stance or working agenda. They have lost their credibility to act as a progressive force to make Assam sail through one of the most trying times to date. To demand legitimate and autonomous right for self-development is the logic of the federal system that resulted in the emergence and popularity of regional or state political parties. But for their own deeds, their influence wanes in the context of national parties wielding heavy batons of power. has violated many other safety rules. Of late, the health care sector has become a lucrative money-making proposition and many unscrupulous people have entered this field more with the motive of earning money than that of serving the needy. With political clout, these private hospitals flout all norms and required criteria that are mandatory in the matter of setting up a health care establishment. There are too many of these private hospitals known more as nursing homes in Guwahati and other cities of the State. The Government should be strict in enforcing the compliance of all safety norms and the public should be careful in selecting such institutes for the purpose of treatment.

Named Phatik Roy by his parents, Pagla Thakur spent time at Tarapeeth - the residence of Bamakhapa. Saint Bamakhapa had also trained Ramakrishna Paramahamsa about many spiritual truths. Later, Ramakrishna and his chief disciple Vivekananda became world famous. Phatik Roy was baptised at Tarapeeth and assumed the cognomen of Pagla Thakur. There are a few things more difficult than to appraise the work of a man suddenly dead. And Pagla Thakur s life came to an end on October 10 at about 8 pm this month. As soon as the news about his death spread, the sky fell upon many of his disciples heads. Thakur had had the distinction of instituting many temples all over Assam. Those temples and monastaries will remain as the memory of a man who gave his life to spirituality and betterment of the people who came in touch with him. When bad times had fallen on our family, it was decided to call in Pagla Thakur to arrange Kali puja at our house in Guwahati, Panikhaiti. The worship was unique. Soon after the puja, our family was freed from the calamity that had befallen us. Leaving his spiritual legacy to the younger of his four sons called Pinku, Thakur also left his landed property and house to Pinku who lives in Jorhat. Trained by about fivesix Gurus, including a Dafala guru, Pinku is no longer less that what his father was. Thakur s wife and a son predeceased him. He leaves behind three sons and a host of grandchildren. Vijayanta Sharma Pathak

Shockingly, one of these three girls was sold off to a pimp by her own husband. The girls, according to investigators, were raped, tortured and confined by those running the prostitution racket. The three Assam girls along with a girl from West Bengal were rescued from Panipat district of Haryana last evening by a joint team of Assam Police and Haryana Police along with Shakti Vahini, a national-level voluntary organisation. According to Rishi Kant of Shakti Vahini, the victims were forced into prostitution by one Rakesh near Anaj Mandi under the jurisdiction of Rani Bagh Police Station. While one of these three girls from Assam was lured on the pretext of love and marriage around 18 days ago after which an FIR was registered with the local police station, another was sold off by her own husband. Confined for 18 days, one day Shakila (name changed) somehow managed to call her family, which acted as a tip-off. Assam Police immediately reached Delhi and approached Shakti Vahini and a search operation was conducted at an isolated building in Panipat with the intervention of Superintendent of Police of Panipat Rajesh Duggal. On receiving the information from Assam Police and Shakti Vahini, Duggal activated his team at local police station. During the two-hour-long search operation, four victims were rescued by the team, Rishi Kant said. After Shakila was spotted, she led us to another building where some other girls were also kept, he said. Shakila revealed that she had come in contact with a boy named Moti back home who promised to marry her and brought her to Delhi. She was kept in an unknown place in Delhi and was then taken to Panipat. Moti sold her off to Rakesh for Rs 25,000. The victims further mentioned that every night Rakesh used to bring customers to the building. The other victim, Ruhi (name changed) said that she had been handed over to a pimp at New Delhi Station by her own husband. She was told that she is going for some household work but was forced into prostitution around seven days ago. Her brother, who lives in Delhi, is also unaware that she is being forced into prostitution, as informed by the victim. Aklima, the third victim from Assam, revealed that a man named Moidula and a woman named Roma Laleen, whom she knew since two to three months, gave her something to eat around 20-21 days ago after which she fell unconscious. Later, when she regained her consciousness, she found herself in the house in Panipat. She was also forced into prostitution by Rakesh.

At some government schools, where examinations were held today, teachers performed their duties by wearing black badges.

Its other demands included grant of transport & children s education allowances, withdrawal of NOC system in matters of promotion and retirement, payment of adhoc bonus to non-gazetted employees due from 2005-06, etc. The employees apex body said that instead of responding to the demands, the government was trying to buy time by constituting one more Committee forcing CoSAAP to launch the two-day agitation.

G/TN/2362/1 Janasanyog/2471/16 India needs to improve business environment: Froman NEW DELHI, Oct 20: Underlining the need to improve the business environment in India in order to ensure greater investment inflow, US Trade Representative Michael Froman on Thursday said certain areas in the Indian economy like retail and financial services needed further opening up. There needs to be continued work on improving the business environment if India is going to attract the kind of investment domestic and foreign to meet its aspirations, Froman said while delivering a talk on Indo-US trade relations at the University of Chicago Centre here. Liberalising the retail, financial services and professional services sectors would Divisional Forest Officer Eastern Assam Wildlife Division Bokakhat help create an open, nondiscriminatory and predictable regime that enhances the development of those markets, he said. Noting that India s position has improved in the World Bank overall ease of doing business rankings, Froman cautioned India against becoming complacent. India has recently seen a positive trend in investment activity, but it should not be complacent. As an Italian economist once said, investors have the memories of elephants, the hearts of lambs and the legs of hares, he said. Businesses are keenly sensitive to the business environment, whether the climate is commercially friendly or whether bureaucracy and corruption make doing business difficult, Froman added. Noting with concern Indian efforts to renegotiate and weaken existing agreements, the US Trade Representative said India should continue on the path of opening its economy. India s relatively high tariffs and continued requests for exemptions from global trade rules the need for which has already been questioned by the Ministry of Finance only slows India s full participation into the global economy, Froman said. Lauding the reforms in India, like the landmark Goods and Services Tax, the revision of the bankruptcy code, setting up of dedicated commercial courts, and the release of the National Intellectual Property Rights Policy, Froman said the US has a direct interest in India s aim to achieve economic growth. Earlier on Thursday, Froman, who is leading a high-level delegation here for the 10th India-US Trade Policy Forum (TPF) meeting, met Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and discussed ways to improve trade and investments relations, an official said. TPF is the bilateral forum for discussion and resolution of trade and investment issues between the two countries. It has five focus groups: agriculture, investment, innovation and creativity (intellectual property rights), services, and tariff and non-tariff barriers.

Govt to provide support to gems & jewellery sector NEW DELHI, Oct 20: The government will extend full support to the gems and jewellery exports as it is recording healthy growth at a time when outbound shipments are facing challenges, Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said today. India has made a big difference in gems and jewellery trade at a time when exports are facing many challenges but this sector has stood the headwinds, and therefore we need to give all support to the sector, she said here.

In September, gems and jewellery exports grew by 22.42 per cent year-on-year to USD NEW DELHI, Oct 20: The proposed four-tier GST structure may hit the common man as it is likely to result in higher taxes on various items including kitchen staples such as edible oils, spices and chicken. The prices of certain consumer durables like televisions, air conditioners, fridges and washing machines may however become cheaper with decrease in taxes. The government plans to roll out the new indirect tax regime, Goods and Services Tax (GST), from April 1, 2017. In its meeting with states this week, the Centre has proposed a four slab GST rate structure. The lowest rate proposed is 6 per cent, with two standard rates of 12 and 18 per cent. The peak rate, which will mostly apply to FMCG and consumer durables, will be 26 per cent. Besides, a cess is also likely to be levied on demerit or sin goods and polluting items. According to the Centre s estimates on impact of the fourslab rate structure on CPI inflation, items like chicken and 4.46 billion. Since December 2014, exports fell for the straight 18 months till May 2016 due to weak global demand and slide in oil prices. Shipments witnessed growth only in June this year and again entered into negative zone in July and August. However, it turned positive in September. The minister also asked the MMTC to organise roadshows all over the country to popularise gold coins. When asked about the media reports of information leak of millions of ATM cards, she said: On this, I will talk to the revenue (department). There is also a need to discuss the matter with the finance ministry about its implication, she said, adding breach of data confidentiality is a security subject. PTI GST may make oil, chicken dearer coconut oil which currently suffer a tax incidence of 4 per cent will be taxed at 6 per cent under the GST regime. Similarly, the tax burden on refined oil, mustard oil and groundnut oil will go up from 5 per cent to 6 per cent. Other kitchen staples too will be taxed at 6 per cent as against 3 per cent in case of turmeric and jeera, 5 per cent in case of dhania, black pepper and oil seeds. TVs, air conditioners, washing machines, inverters, refrigerators, electric fans and cooking appliances may become cheaper with the incidence of taxes on them declining from 29 per cent to 26 per cent post implementation of the GST. Perfumes, shaving cream, powder, hair oil, shampoo, soap, and other toiletry items will become cheaper as they too presently are taxed at 29 per cent.

A former UPCC president who resigned as a Congress MLA today, Joshi said there is no alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP. Joshi, who was said to be unhappy with the Congress leadership over projection of Sheila Dikshit as its chief ministerial face in Uttar Pradesh, rued the present state of affairs in the party, alleging that it is in such a bad shape that it has contracted out its working to strategist Prashant Kishore. Slamming Rahul for his dalali barb at Modi over the surgical strikes, Joshi said she BHUBANESHWAR, Oct 20: The chairman of the trust that ran the hospital where a devastating fire on Monday killed 21 people today turned himself in to police and was arrested even as the SIT on black money ordered a probe by the Enforcement Directorate into the trust s financial transactions. Manoj Ranjan Nayak, the chairman of Sikshya O Anusandhan Charitable Trust that runs the SUM Hospital here, surrendered before the police and 3.30 AM and was taken to an undisclosed location for interrogation, barely hours after the Odisha police issued a Lookout Circular against him and another trustee Saswati Das. Nayak s arrest takes to five the number of those held in connection with the fire tragedy, NEW DELHI, Oct 20: Delhi Police today constituted a special investigation team (SIT) to trace a missing JNU hostel inmate following a direction from Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh as protests by a section of students raged on in the campus over alleged inaction by authorities. We have formed an SIT under Additional DCP-II (South) Manishi Chandra to probe in the case. We have also informed the SSPs concerned as well as police officers across India and have given out ad- Ravi Shankar Prasad gets VIP security cover NEW DELHI, Oct 20: Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has been accorded a VIP security cover of armed central paramilitary personnel by the government recently. Officials said the Cabinet Minister for Law and Justice and Electronics and Information Technology has been brought under the Y security cover and his security duties will be handled by the CRPF s special VIP security commandos. They said as part of this protocol, about seven-eight armed Central Reserve Police Force personnel will be deployed for the security duties of the minister, a Rajya Sabha MP from Bihar. A threat assessment report prepared by Central security agencies had recommended the requirement of such a cover for Prasad after which the Union Home Ministry sanctioned it, they said. The Z+ category is the highest VIP security cover followed by Z and while 40 commandos are usually deployed for the Z+ protectee, the latter has about 25-30 personnel. Y is a scaled down category but the commandos are similarly armed. PTI NEW DELHI, Oct 20: BJP MP Varun Gandhi was at the centre of a controversy over allegations that he had leaked defence secrets to middleman Abhishek Verma and arms manufacturers after being honey trapped, a charge he stoutly denied. At a press conference here, Swaraj Abhiyan leaders Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav released a letter written by Edmonds Allen, a New Yorkbased lawyer, to the PMO last month that Varun was honey trapped and compromised by Verma. He alleged that Verma blackmailed Varun, a member of the Defence Consultative Committee, into sharing sensitive information on crucial arms matters. Rita Bahuguna joins BJP, slams Rahul has been disheartened by the events which happened in the last few days. India is fighting terrorism and the Modi government has given the army a free hand. Besides valour of the army, the government s strong leadership was also behind the surgical strikes. Along with the nation, I too was happy. The whole world accepted India s arguments behind the strikes. Congress, however, behaved like a small party and went on to question it. The whole nation was upset with a phrase like khoon like dalali, she said attacking Gandhi. His remarks gave Pakistan an opportunity to question the surgical strikes, she said, adding that political differences over national interest were not good. Noting that she had spent 24 years out of 27 years of her political career in Congress and only 10 months in Samajwadi Party, she said, The decision to quit Congress was not easy. However, I took it in the interest of the nation and the state (UP). PTI Varun under attack over defence deals Varun rejected these charges, saying he has not met Verma since 2004 and threatened to file a defamation suit against Bhushan and Yadav over the charges. The entire information presented does not contain an iota of proof that either I had access or shared any communication regarding sensitive information to Verma, Varun said. Allen, who was a partner of Verma, fell out with him in 2012. Verma is facing trial in the 2006 Naval War Room leak case. Bhushan alleged that despite having all the details, BJP government did not blacklist Thales, the company that sold scam-tainted Scorpene submarines, as Dassault acquired it. India recently signed a deal with Dassault for 36 Rafale aircraft. Any action against Thales may have jeopardised the Rafale deal. Moreover, contrary to previous announcements of getting 126 aircrafts, the government bought 36 aircrafts, paying double the price for individual units. It certainly appears to be the case that something is fishy, Bhushan said. However, Bhushan and Yadav did not take Varun s name during the press conference and instead asked journalists to refer to the letter. They claimed to have withheld photographic evidences pertaining to the matter. Allen wrote to the PM, Defence Minister, CBI and the NSA with all the details on August and September this year. Varun said that he last met Verma when he was a post graduate student in London at the age of 22 years. I am going to turn 37 now. I have never met him since I entered public life in 2004. The only reason why I even know of him is because his parents were members of parliament and was a respected family. I knew them as many other leaders knew them, he said. Asked if he had come across any sensitive information during his tenure on the consultative committee on defence, he said, Any MP who has been on that committee knows that not even 0.1 percentage of any confidential information is shared with the committee. PTI Fire tragedy: Trust chairman arrested, ED to launch probe which also left scores injured. Manoj Nayak surrenders at Khandagiri Police Station. He is arrested and under interrogation, Commissioner of Police, YB Khurania told reporters. Even as he was being interrogated, information came that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Black Money has asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to probe financial transactions of the trust he headed. Though the reason behind the SIT order was not immediately known, a senior police official said the ED has been directed to examine all financial transactions of the trust that runs several institutions including the SUM Hospital. PTI JNU: Delhi Police forms SIT to trace missing student vertisements in newspapers, said Nupur Prasad, Additional DCP-I(South). The student, Najeeb Ahmed, went missing on Saturday following a brawl on the campus the night before. We have also announced a reward of Rs 50,000 for any person who provides information about Najeeb, Prasad said. Singh called up the Commissioner of Delhi Police and gave the instructions to set up the special team to find the missing student. PTI

INTERNATIONAL Iraqi forces moving faster than expected on Mosul PARIS, Oct 20: Iraqi forces are advancing faster than expected in a major offensive to recapture Mosul from Islamic State jihadists, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-abadi said today. We are advancing faster than we had expected and planned, Abadi said, speaking on a videoconference link to an international meeting co-hosted by France and Iraq on the future of Mosul following the start of the offensive this week. French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian had warned on Tuesday that the battle to retake Iraq s second-biggest city could take months. French President Francois Hollande told today s meeting that the jihadists were already fleeing to Raqa, their stronghold in neighbouring Syria.

The long-awaited offensive on Mosul was launched on Monday, with some 30,000 troops involved in Iraq s largest military operation since the pullout of US troops in 2011. Representatives from around 20 countries including the US, Turkey, Gulf states and EU member states are attending the Paris meeting co-chaired by French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault and his Iraqi counterpart Ibrahim al-jaafari. Today s talks come ahead of a meeting in Paris next Tuesday of the coalition s defence ministers to assess progress in the Mosul offensive.

UNI Trump non-committal on accepting results LAS VEGAS, Oct 20: Donald Trump today threw hints that he may not accept defeat in the presidential polls which he has been saying is rigged, stunning the political scene threatening to overturn US democratic convention of a smooth transfer of power. His stance drew a sharp attack from Hillary Clinton as the two faced off in the feisty final presidential debate in which she was declared the winner. The controversial 70-year-old Republican candidate maintained that he would keep the suspense about accepting the election result till November 8. I will look at it at the time. I m not looking at anything now, he said in response to a question whether he would accept the poll results, during the third presidential debate at the University of Nevada here.

PTI Philippines Prez declares separation from US BEIJING, Oct 20: In a major diplomatic victory for China, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte today announced separation from longstanding ally the US, as the two neighbours agreed to temporarily put aside their differences over the South China Sea (SCS) and signed 13 agreements. I announce my separation from the United States, he said to applause at a business meeting in the presence of Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli at Great Hall of the People. The comments by the Philippines mercurial leader may end Manila s strategic ties with Washington against China over its maritime dispute with Beijing. Duterte s comments came hours after he met his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping who told him We re neighbours and blood brothers. Welcoming Duterte, who decided to visit China after his bitter spat with the US over war on drug smugglers, Xi asked him to put aside the SCS dispute temporarily to improve bilateral relations. This truly has milestone significance for China- Philippines relations, Xi said, praising Duterte s landmark visit to China to reset ties which have been damaged by the SCS dispute. Beijing claims almost all of the SCS despite partial counter-claims from the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Taiwan. An international tribunal struck down China s claims in July, saying Beijing has no historic rights in the SCS. China had rejected the ruling as null and void and said it neither accepts nor recognises the verdict of the tribunal established at the request of the Philippines. During today s meeting, Xi suggested that the two sides temporarily put aside the disputes, and learn from the political wisdom of history when the two nations had successfully kept their differences in check through talks, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported.

Viewing behaviour is also called lurking when a person does not participate in posting or liking social content, but is just an observer. This form of participation in social media may sound like it should have little effect on how humans view themselves, but the study, showed the exact opposite. Wang and Fan Yang, also graduate student at Penn State, conducted an online survey to collect data on the psychological effects of posting and viewing selfies and groupies. Posting behaviour did not have significant psychological effects for participants. Viewing behaviour did. Working with Wang s graduate adviser, Michel Haigh, Associate Professor in Communications, researchers discovered the more often people viewed their own and others selfies, the lower their level of self-esteem and life satisfaction. People usually post selfies when they are happy or having fun, said Wang. This makes it easy for someone else to look at these pictures and think his or her life is not as great as theirs, he said. Those participants categorised as having a strong desire to appear popular were even more sensitive to selfie and groupie viewing. In this case, however, selfie and groupie viewing behaviour increased the self-esteem and life satisfaction for these participants, likely because this activity satisfied the participants desires to appear popular, researchers said. Wang and Yang hope their work can raise awareness about social media use and the effect it has on viewers of people s social networks.

18 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE, GUWAHATI SPORTS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2016 Dhoni flops as India lose to NZ by six runs NEW DELHI, Oct 20: Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni s role as a finisher again came under scanner as New Zealand pipped India by six runs in a thrilling second ODI encounter, here tonight. The Black Caps levelled the five-match series 1-1 and in the process also won their first game of the tour. India were all-out for 236 in 49.3 overs chasing a target of 243. It is also after 11 long years that India have lost an ODI at the Feroz Shah Kotla. Hardik Pandya (36) and Umesh Yadav (18) had tried their best with a 49-run stand for the ninth wicket but Pandya s dismissal in the penultimate over ended India s hopes with Southee cleaning up Jasprit Bumrah (0) in the final over with a perfect yorker. But the match again raised question mark about Captain Cool s ability to win matches even when there wasn t too much pressure of the scoreboard. The target was not a big one and the juncture at which Dhoni walked in gave him ample time to play himself into the game. He ran well but also at times got BENGALURU, Oct 20: After I-League champions Bengaluru FC scripted history by reaching the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Cup final, skipper Sunil Chhetri heaped praise on his team-mates for the achievement. Bengaluru FC on Wednesday defeated defending champions Johor Darul Ta zim 3-1, 4-2 on aggregate over two legs, to book a final clash with Air Force Club of Iraq on November 5 in Doha, Qatar. Chhetri scored twice to lead from the front after Bengaluru conceded an early goal. The best part of the club is whoever is associated with Bengaluru FC, right from Sajjan Jindal, our coach, our ball boy everyone puts in so much effort to achieve the result. It s a closely knit family, he said at the post-match press conference on Wednesday. stuck with Mitchell Santner drying up the runs. Keeping a cover and an extra cover, Santner flighted it outside the off-stump and the Indian skipper found it difficult to get going. There were only three boundaries in his 39 off 65 balls but what was striking was his inability to generate power in his shots most of the times. He played as many as 37 dot balls. The only standout shot was a short arm pull off Henry. He failed to attack both Santner and Anton Devcich. Southee ended Dhoni s misery with a stunning one handed return catch when the Indian skipper failed to read a slower one. But it was a more a case of the increasing pressure on him. He added 66 for the fifth wicket with Kedar Jadhav (41). But it was Kedar, who looked like a dominant partner hitting couple of sixes off Santner. First was a half-tracker that was pulled into the mid-wicket stands and the second was an inside out shot over extra covers. He also ran well between the wickets with his skipper Chhetri lauds teammates for reaching AFC Cup final You don t believe how happy I m now. In fact, I m at a loss for words expressing it. This result is not just an achievement of the eleven players. Rather this has been possible because of the entire Bengaluru FC family. We don t know what we re going to achieve next but one thing is for sure that we ll keep on pushing hard and we ll stay together whatever happens, he added. Meanwhile, Bengaluru coach Albert Roca didn t mince his words praising the skipper as the architect of the historic win. He s (Sunil) the right captain. He s an example to all of us present here. Bengaluru FC can t have any better captain than him. He doesn t only work on his game but helps other players a lot. Undoubtedly, he s a big part of the success which we achieved, Roca said. IANS New Zealand captain Kane Williamson executes a cover drive during the 2nd ODI against India at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi on Thursday. converting the ones into twos. Just when he was looking good for a half-century, Kedar tried to steer a fuller delivery from Henry to be caught behind as India were in a spot at 139 for five. What was weird was Dhoni s Barcelona, Atletico Madrid victorious in Champions League MADRID, Oct 20: Spanish football champions FC Barcelona thumped Manchester City 4-0 while Atletico Madrid bested Rostov 1-0, bringing both Spanish clubs a step closer to clinching spots in the Champions League pre-quarterfinal. French champions Paris Saint-Germain, German champions Bayern Munich and England s Arsenal also won on Wednesday, who likewise seem assured of advancing to the next stage, reports Efe. A healthy Lionel Messi spoiled Pep Guardiola s return to the Camp Nou stadium, scoring three goals against Manchester City, who played most of the second half with 10 men after goalkeeper Claudio Bravo was ejected on a red card for a hand ball outside the area. Guardiola, who won a shelf full of trophies with Barcelona, sur- decision to play second fiddle to both Kedar and then Axar Patel (17) as he let the game drift with the dot balls adding to the pressure. Dhoni s dismissal did increase pressure as Axar and Amit prised everyone by leaving top scorer Sergio Agero out of the line-up for City s biggest match of the current Champions League tourney. Messi s first goal came in the 17th minute after City defender Fernandinho slipped, clearing a path for the Argentine superstar, whose second and third tallies followed Bravo s expulsion. Neymar added the fourth goal in the final minute of regulation time. With 9 points from three matches, Barcelona lead Group C by five points over City. Two points behind City is Borussia Monchengladbach, who posted their first win on Wednesday, beating Celtic 2-0 in Glasgow to consign the Scottish squad to last place with 1 point. Atletico struggled a little to beat Rostov in Russia on a goal at the hour mark by Yannick Mishra (1) were dismissed by part-time off-breaks from Martin Guptill. Starting the chase, Rohit Sharma (15), who was in considerable pain after his dismissal having done some damage to his Carrasco, maintaining their perfect record in the current Champions League campaign. Last year s runner-up Atletico now sit three points ahead of Bayern Munich in Group D, who climbed to six points on Wednesday with a 4-1 whipping of PSV Eindhoven who, like Rostov, have a single point. In Group A, Arsenal and PSG are tied on points at seven after victories over Ludogorets and Basel, respectively. Arsenal routed the Bulgarian club 6-0 in London with goals from Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and a Mesut Ozil hat trick, the first in the German international s senior career. PSG defeated visiting Basel 3-0 on goals by Angel Di Maria, Lucas and Edinson Cavani, who converted a penalty in stoppage time. IANS biceps along with Virat Kohli (9), Ajinkya Rahane (28) and Manish Pandey (19) didn t score too many as India were reduced to 73 for 4 within 20th over. Earlier, Kane Williamson was in his element hitting a classy hundred but New Zealand lost momentum during the slog overs to end up scoring 242 for 9 against India after being put into bat. Williamson, who has had an indifferent tour so far, struck a fluent 118 off 128 balls with 14 boundaries and a six. However save opener Tom Latham (46), none of the other batsmen could provide considerable support. The last 15 overs of the innings yielded only 66 runs for the Black Caps. While Amit Mishra (3/60 in 10 overs) picked up important wicket of Williamson, it was Jasprit Bumrah (3/35 in 10 overs) whose bowling was a revelation during death overs. He made a technically equipped Williamson crawl with a toe-crushing yorker and another unplayable delivery in the blockhole got found Tim Southee failing to get his bat down.

Moeen Ali and Jonny Bairstow scored half-centuries each as England reached 258-7 at stumps on the first day, after skipper Alastair Cook elected to bat first at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury stadium. Moeen survived five reviews on his way to smashing 68 runs and Bairstow made 52 as England steadied against some superb bowling from Bangladesh s spinners to post a respectable score. Chris Woakes was 36 not out and Adil Rashid unbeaten on five. Experienced left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan finished the day with 2-46 to complement the 18-year-old Mehedi, who became the seventh Bangladeshi bowler to take five wickets in his Test debut. Mehedi, named player of the tournament at the Under-19 World Cup earlier this year, made an immediate impression, bowling Ben Duckett for 14 before trapping Gary Ballance for one in his opening spell.

IANS Chennaiyin FC edge past NEU FC SPORTS REPORTER GUWAHATI, Oct 20: Chennaiyin FC finally broke the jinx of never having won a match against NorthEast United in the three season long history of the Indian Super League with a 1-0 victory at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Sarusajai here today. Both the teams had their share of chances although the visitors enjoyed a better ball possession in the first half. Chennaiyin were somewhat the more potent side with Subrata Paul having had to come to his side s rescue on a number of occasions. Romaric decided to have a go on the target from around 40 yards but that wasn t a problem at all for Chennaiyin FC custodian Karanjit Singh as he collected it with ease in the 10th minute. Mehrajuddin Wadoo from the right flank provided Davide Succi with a fine opportunity but he made a complete mockery of the situation and NorthEast FC glovesman Subrata Paul was quick enough to deny the visitors an early lead in the 17th minute. NorthEast United s Argentinean recruit Nicolas Velez provided local boy Holicharan Narzary with a good diagonal pass only to witness the latter providing Katsumi Yusa with a fine opportunity inside the box in the 18th minute. However, the South Korean midfielder was well blocked by Bernard Mendy. Having received a free kick against North- East United s marquee Didier Zokora, Maurizio Peluso who stepped in to take the set Nadal opens tennis academy with Federer as guest of honour MANACOR (Spain), Oct 20: Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal has opened an academy bearing his name in his hometown on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca, with his friend and longtime rival Roger Federer as the guest of honour. The Rafa Nadal Academy is built across 24,000 square meters (258,000 sq. ft.) and is to combine tennis lessons with academics, reports Efe. It s a dream come true, said Nadal, who along with Federer and President-CEO of Telefonica, Jose Maria Alvarez-Pallete, unveiled the facilities to numerous guests and officials on Wednesday. Among those present were the president of the Balearic Government Francina Armengol, the presidents of the International Tennis Federation and the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), David Hagerty and Chris Players of Chennaiyin FC and NEU FC (white) in action during their ISL match in Guwahati on Thursday. AT Photo piece blasted it straight to Subrata Paul who parried it to Hans Mulder. Mulder s header went above the cross bar by some margin in the 28th minute to give the full packed home crowd some sigh of relief. Switching sides, Chennaiyin didn t take much long to surge ahead as Siam Hanghal s fine lobbed pass was well volleyed into the net by their Italian forward Succi in the 48th minute. Succi s powerful strike from inside the box saw Paul diving to his left but couldn t stop the ball from finding the back of the net. Receiving a free kick from around 25 yards, Romaric s full blooded strike went Kermode, respectively, and the chairman of Wimbledon Phillip Brook. The sports centre consists of a residence, 26 clay courts, a fitness centre, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a seven-aside soccer field, among other sports facilities. The centre will create employment for some 140 people and also includes the Rafael Nadal Foundation and a museum. Nadal described it as a project that my team and I have worked toward for years. I am grateful from my heart, it is a very special day for me, said Nadal, who also addressed his family and the academy s first students. Federer, his great rival in the courts and a tennis legend with 17 Grand Slam trophies to his credit, congratulated Nadal. It s a great idea, I don t have an academy like this, Federer said. Nadal said that he expected to resume his on-court rivalry with Federer soon, once the Swiss player recovers from an injury that has troubled him recently. Neither Roger nor I have forgotten how to play tennis and we are working to return to compete at the highest level, said the double Olympic champion. Nadal did not reveal a timetable for his return to the court or if he would play in the Basel Open or the Paris-Bercy Masters. The Spaniard had suffered a shock defeat by the Serb player Viktor Troicki in Shanghai. Federer acknowledged that Nadal had pushed him during a sporting rivalry that he described as intense but also respectful. I ve never seen someone with this much power and top spin and intensity, all in one package, coming into tennis, said Federer. IANS wide of the target by some margin in the 58th minute. NorthEast came close to equalising in the 61st minute but Holicharan Narzary failed to reach in time. Yusa making his way from the left flank set the ball up for Narzary with an absolute scoring opportunity but Jerry Lalrinzuala did well to clear it. NorthEast dominated throughout the later half of the match but couldn t find the desired result. Playing in the absence of their fleet footed forward Nicolas Velez who had to be substituted owing to an injury seemed to have had an impact on the result. Delhi bundled out for 90 KOLKATA, Oct 20: Poor batting display by Delhi saw them being skittled out for a paltry 90 before Karnataka batsmen applied themselves much better to take a 41-run lead in their Ranji Trophy cricket tie at the Eden Gardens here on Thursday. At stumps, Karanataka were 131/3 in 52 overs with Nair (three not out) and nightwatchman Abhimanyu Mithun (seven not out) at the crease. This is Delhi s lowest total against Karnakata in Ranji Trophy matches. On a good track, which aided the spinners, Delhi failed to display the temperament as Rishabh Pant (24) and Dhruv Shorey (24) were the top-scorers for the capital side. For Karnataka, pacer Sreenath Aravind returned figures of 4/12. Brief scores: Delhi 90 all out (Rishab Pant 24, D Shorey 24; S Aravind 4/12), Karnataka 131/3 (Mayank Agarwal 56, R Samarth 53; Vikas Tokas 2/35) IANS Winless Goa to take on Mumbai in ISL battle MUMBAI, Oct 20: Winless after four games, FC Goa would be keen to break the jinx when they take on a depleted Mumbai City FC in an Indian Super League game at the Andheri Sports Complex, here tomorrow. Coached by Brazilian football legend Zico, last year s runnersup Goa are yet to strike the rhythm and have slumped to three defeats out of four matches played so far. However, the Goans would be expecting that the 1-1 away draw on October 16 against former champions Atletico de Kolkata could be just the turning point in their dismal season so far. The heroics of goalkeeper Subashish Roy Chowdhury, who took the field after a huge gap of one year and eight months, and a late spot-kick goal from Joffre saved Goa from a fourth straight loss in the tournament as they held Atletico to a draw in Kolkata. Since the start of the ISL in 2014, no team has gone without winning in the first five matches but should FC Goa lose or draw against Mumbai, the unwanted Solution of last problem Originating from Japan, su do ku is a mind game and a puzzle that can be solved with proper reasoning and logic. Fill the grid with digits in such a manner that every row, every column and every 3 x 3 box accommodates the digits 1 to 9 without repeating any. SU DO KU record will be theirs. Goa and Zico have been in a similar situation in 2014 when the outfit had only a point after the first four matches but recovered well to make it to the semifinals. This time too Zico exuded confidence that Goa can turn the corner, especially against a team that has remained winless in the last three matches. We are playing well. Even in games which we have lost, we could have had different results. We lost at least two matches largely due to our own mistakes rather than the merits of the other team, Zico said during the pre-match media briefing. The home team will also be eager to get back into the winning ways after coming off with a 0-1 loss to Kerala Blasters and a 3-3 draw against Delhi Dynamos in their two previous matches. The 1-1 draw against Atletico on October 11 had earlier put an end to Mumbai City s two-game initial winning spree and they would be pulling out all stops to get the better of Goa. PTI

FEELINGS Vivid spectrum THE ODD WORLD Dark is the new bright GUWAHATI FRIDAY OCTOBER 21, 2016 Swadhinata Gogoi waxes eloquent about the beauty of nature, and how we are out to exploit her innate goodness. Wake-up call! Nature is the most marvellous creation of the universe. The beautiful synthesis of nature bewitches every human being. Nature has always been an indispensable portion of our livelihood. From time immemorial, Mother Nature has been the thread of inspiration and imagination for poets, artists and authors to display their creative panache. Meagre words are not enough to eulogise the beauty of the real thing, notwithstanding the fact that its finesse has always forged a ripple in our hearts, ushering a bond, a troth of love undefined. Whether it's William Wordsworth expounding his imagination and attachment towards the enormity of nature in Tintern Abbey, or Robert Frost exploring felicity in the mundane things of life in After Apple Picking, they draw us towards an aesthetic journey purifying our souls. It would probably take an eternity to keep magnifying nature's mystery-filled visages. Every passing moment she entices us into her bosom embracing us like a longfound lover. One cannot help but fall in love even more than before, and lionise her with odes and songs of admiration. It never really ends the search for her myriad faces; mirages after which we keep running but never reach. Lured into a world of phantasm, one cannot escape her charisma; be it the maple with its colourful autumn foliage, the gulmohar standing like a newly wedded coy bride with her vermillion filled forehead, the green hues of the ocean like the emerald adorned by Cleopatra, the marmalade sky by sunset, or the purples of twilight resembling the robe of an ancient emperor of some unknown kingdom. People spend an eternity in search of transcendence; a paradise, when the same lies in front of us? One just needs to perceive it, embrace its state of bliss. Nature has always tempted us into a state of tranquillity and sublimity; away from desolation, anarchy and gloom. On a summery eve, when the drops of rain fall on our face, we feel euphoric, as if the entire body and soul goes through a spiritual purgation. Nature is a therapist to all our miseries, which she cheerfully espouses. Nature is like a mirror reflecting our various moods. A tranquil night with a full moon reflecting in the crystalline waters of a lake draws the potentiality to kindle the lover concealed within us. Nature is a healer and a teacher. She makes us altruistic. She teaches us to expect nothing in return. Just as it is given in the Bhagavad Gita, Work without any expectation of result. She teaches us to trust, to gain, and to rise when we fall. The falling autumn leaves twirling to the beats of the wind can arouse feelings of hope in a dying man; the hope of rejuvenation. She teaches us that failure and success, happiness and sadness are flip sides of the same coin, and henceforth, one superseding the other simultaneously. We just need to open our heart and soul and seek behind the veil. Until and unless we do that we can never know the secrets lying deep within her bosom, yet to be unearthed. We should learn to reciprocate, respect and return. Veracious is the expression and yet unequivocally dichotomous to us, to humankind belonging to a corporeal world, the one in extremis. A legion drowning in the ocean of fabricated sophistication and enlightenment. It would be foolish of us to now realise what we have done and what would be the denouement? Slaughtering the mother who gave you shelter and shield; and standing boisterous, blowing the trumpet of victory is what we espy today. If this idiosyncratic attitude doesn't change soon enough, it would be too late, leading to our own nemesis, thus, affixing ourselves in the docket of annihilation. Even though we have been discerning and complimenting her benediction upon us, we are eventually purloining and devastating her treasure trove and henceforth, leaving an ailing planet for the coming generations. The natural environment due to this human mastery is shrinking at a meteoric speed; and the only reason behind all these exploitations is the development of technology. Of late, technological development is no longer impounded to the mere purpose of meeting the basic human needs. In the name of civilisation, we have crawled towards an age of decadence where nature is merely seen as a resource', a resource that needs to be exploited to the fullest, without being concerned about the impending catastrophe. We need to realise that we are just mere tenants on earth and we have no right to destroy its properties. Besides, we have been accustomed to a bygone tradition of give and take'; where there is no giving in return. We are just taking, despoiling and vandalising what nature has bestowed upon us. It is like eating up the eggs and then demanding that the birds are ebbing away. One might easily find the humour here, but the fact is we need to wake up from our eternal sleep or it might be too late. It has to be our cardinal duty to give what we have taken from nature and nurture her and maintain the equilibrium. We must take an oath to maintain the human interrelationship with Mother Nature. It is high time that we hurl away our blindfolds and enshrine what we already have in store. The necessity of dealing with cooperation, concession and compromise is what the need of the hour is. Love her; heal her, because no one wants a dying planet, an ailing one, unless we have somewhere else to go. Realise her value before it's too late. Or else our doom would be no far. gswadhi@gmail.com Dr Gitartha Roymedhi IT and health formation whenever a patient has a problem, even if the office is closed. EHRs also make it easier for the doctor to share information with specialists and others so that everyone who needs your information has it available when they need it. Some EHRs may also allow one to log in to a web portal to view the health record, lab results, and treatment plan, and to e- mail the treating doctor. PHRs are a lot like EHRs, except that one can control what kind of information goes into it. One can use a PHR to keep track of information from the doctor visits, but the PHRs can also reflect one's life outside the doctor's office and personal health priorities, such as tracking of food intake, exercise, and blood pressure. Sometimes, one's PHR can link with the doctor's EHR. E-Prescribing allows the doctor to communicate directly with the pharmacy. A paper prescription can get lost or misread. E-Prescribing means you can go to the pharmacy to pick up the medicines, without having to bring the paper prescription. In a country like the United States, Health IT has been introduced to secure the health records of the patients and making them available when and where needed. This way the healthcare providers can give the best possible care, whether during a routine visit or an emergency. In case the patient is in a serious condition, it provides ability to coordinate better. Other benefits of Health IT are the Personal Health Tools and Online Communities. Personal health tools help to check the health, get feedback, and keep track of the progress to better manage health, whereas online communities can help people connect with one another to try to maximise good health (such as during pregnancy) or to respond to concerns about poor health. But some challenges also persist in the field of Health IT. Sometimes there is the threat of cyber attack on one's health data network by criminal hackers. Sometimes a doctor's or physician's ability and knowledge is judged with the information obtained from the internet. Otherwise the concept of healthcare via internet can bring a great change for every single individual. Health Information Technology lets an individual be a key part of the team or group that maintains a healthy society. gitartharoymedhi83@rediffmail.com Fleeing fictionality! Anupom Kumar Hazarika Hogwarts is a place that is known to all, yet its unavail-able on Google maps. It is one place that created some sort of sensation in most of use when we were in school, and it still baffles my curiosity whenever I see it capturing the attention of masses through some very striking headlines. A computer game, based on the second book of the Harry Potter series, opened the Hogwarts portal to me for the first time. At that time, the game attracted me with its indescribable charm, and aroused an unstoppable desire in me to know more about it. My schoolmates back then imparted in me a partial knowledge, which proved as an impetus to buy the first book of the series and that was how my trip to that magical world started. A few days ago, when I was at a bookshop flipping through the pages of the newly-released Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a kid s voice abruptly interrupted my thoughts. I saw a kid trying to reach the shelf where the Harry Potter series was kept, and she was screaming at the bookstore clerk to help her get them. I saw her excited face, a face that was lost in the realm of Hogwarts, and I realised that that face belonged to me once. Harry Potter fans are everywhere. When you accidently meet a crazy fan, you are stirred, as your wackiness gets mimicked on a foreign face that you have not seen before. The world that JK Rowling writes about in the Harry Potter books is something that does not exist but it has so much power in Healthcare and Information Technology both these words are familiar, but there are only a few who would understand the concept of Health Information Technology. Basically, it means the integration of information technology into the healthcare system. This combined term is coined as Health Information Technology or Health IT. It is a broad concept. It supports health information management across computerised systems and the secure exchange of health information between the consumers, providers, payers and quality monitors. A number of well-known healthcare providers nowadays follow the system of Health IT to improve patient care. The highest benefit of Health IT is received by the patients because it has carved a convenient pathway to meet their needs. One can utilise Health IT for better communication with the doctors and physicians, learn and share information about health and can take all necessary actions that will improve the quality of life. Besides, this increases healthcare productivity and efficiency. It also prevents medical errors and promotes healthcare accuracy. To some extent, it also reduces healthcare costs and saves enough of the valuable time of the patients in a healthcare centre. In a healthcare institution or centre, it decreases much of the unnecessary paperwork and many other unproductive tasks. It increases administrative efficiency and aids other work processes. Not just in a private hospital or healthcare institution, a common man can avail the advantages of Health IT in other ways as well, as it brings in a lot of public health benefits. It helps in early detection of infectious diseases and also improves the tracking of Chronic Illness Management. Widely, Health IT includes Electronic Health Record System (EHRs), Personal Health Record System (PHRs) and E-Prescribing System. The EHRs store the entire health information. It allows doctors to easily keep track of patients' health information and may enable them to access the needed init to make the readers go wild and crazy. If the magical world of Harry Potter is fictional, is fiction all about falsehood, nonsense and unreal? A vague question, it might be for some, but it is something that philosophers and rationalists have been arguing over throughout the ages. Stories entertain us and we are persuaded to imagine funny and stupid things. Grandma's stories are fictional. Many grandmas would tell the same story with their added twists and turns. Yet, we still love them; because they defy their existence in the physical world. If they do not have any existence, what is the point of glorifying and celebrating them? Stories are temporary mediums for us to escape from the bleak picture of our life and to let our fantasy rise from the graveyard of rationality. Hogwarts has been an option for many wacky fans to enter a new world. A world that transcends the boundaries of what we see with our naked eyes. Getting admitted into Hogwarts is every Potter reader's fantasy. As going to Hogwarts is an impossible journey for fans, Warner Brothers and many other companies are endowing Harry Potter paraphernelia with life. Nowadays, you can get magical wands, dresses worn by Hogwarts students, golden snitches, brooms, cups with Harry Potter images and many other such exciting things. These accessories cannot serve any fruitful purpose in our life. However, people purchase them happily without being aware of the fact that they are amalgamating reality with fiction. Hence, fiction becomes a part of the real world where we live. Fiction succeeds in breaking the ties of fictionality and penetrates reality by solidifying imaginable things. anupom001@gmail.com
Page 2 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE GUWAHATI, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2016 The girl who draws herself Feelings... Inanimate Vivid spectrum Spread across Nepal and beyond, the stories in Samrat Upadhyay s Arresting God in Kathmandu, present life-tales that encompass nuances of everyday existence in ways that pleasantly surprise by their verve and vitality. There are accounts of lost hope, of suffering that cannot be redeemed, even as the brighter dimensions of life shine through in seemingly insignificant details, much of which would otherwise be cast off as nondescript. It is not the veneer that shines in a glamorous world which always holds sway, for the world of the personal implies more when it comes to approaching the void within this is what Acharya realizes when Giri goes away from his life, goes off for good. Giri s arrival into the Acharya household was not much to write home about, but his remarkable talent in composing verses was an unexpected development, more so because Acharya was the one that the nation placed its laurels upon. Acharya was the beloved poet of the land, whose poetic compositions familiarized the people to writing of the highest calibre, he was the pride of the nation which thrived on what he produced as the national versifier. Giri was not much a presence even, yet his excellence in writing, occasional though they were, arrested Acharya s attention. Giri was just the cook in the house, a figure on the margins of the family, uncounted and Bibhash Choudhury insignificant; yet his words were powerfully wrought and it becomes increasingly difficult for Acharya to stay away from their magnetic hold. The potential poet, however, never surfaces as Giri meets an unanticipated end, his death shocking the entire Acharya family. Giri s was a dual life, one of a motivated underground activist, and the other recognizable face of a cook without any recognition outside the four walls he worked in. Giri had lived a dual life, and his political self had prevented Acharya from understanding Giri s true nature. Acharya, looking at himself in a mirror, could not connect those memories of the young with the reflection in front of him, the body slouching from back pain, doubt creeping into the lines of his face. The narrative of Giri and Acharya is titled The Cooking Poet, and steeped in irony as it is, it is the quietitude of the unspoken that invites the reader s attention. Cultural traces, the marks of which are sometimes recognizably present in popular events, however, move beyond them. Aditya realizes this when he is deeply touched by the performer s enthralling presentation, but the reasons for the lingering impact on him are quite different from those that affected the others. This distinction between the privately felt emotion and the public applause forms the crux of another story in this collection, The Man with Long Hair. Upadhyay masterfully holds the Nepalese markers of culture through their acknowledged forms, suggesting at the same time, that tradition is not a monolith, but a moving track that connects generations in much more subtler ways than is often imagined. The figure of the title, the man with the long hair, becomes the symbol of a vivid spectrum, striking Aditya unlike any other: Malati Madan was one of the oldest and the most popular Nepali musicals; it was performed in the local theatres at least four or five times a year, and he could not remember how many times his mother had taken him to see it. But it was not his singing that made Aditya breathless. It was the men s presence: his mournful eyes, aristocratic nose, slender hands gesticulating in sadness. In short, deft strokes, much like a painter s hues colouring a canvas, Upadhyay configures worlds with their own states of being, where the minute pixels make up the broader pictures of life. outenga@gmail.com Serene was she, so was the munificent Nature With a graceful snow-white gown A majestic ethereal smile on lips Barely could hide the bliss of white pigeons Tweeting in the emerald savanna The canvas was all set with variegated brushes And one set of bejewelled mirror The cerulean brook hummed the long-lost tune Of cheeriness hitting the zen-like rock, Breaking the silence of eternity... She was all set to draw herself To paint the blues of life And vagaries of love... Pritam Raja Sharma Abhayapuri Devotee The names in my prayers, The blessings I seek, O Holy Name, behold my desires, For I bow to have your gaze upon us. I kneel before you And join my hands, I close my eyes, And pray to the heavens. O Holy Name in the sky, I sit at your feet, For I seek to have your gaze upon us.

Asita Basumatary Kokrajhar Insect pest infestation on crops: its remedies-ii It is a general tendency on the part of our farmers to apply chemical pesticides as soon as they notice pest appearance in their crop fields. It should be noted that everybody should be cautious about application of pesticides because almost all pesticides are more or less harmful to all. After the application of pesticide, a sizable amount is left in the soil as residues and that creates an unhealthy situation by contaminating soil, water and air. Hence, various plant protection measures, especially application o f p e s t i c i d e s, should be adopted only after taking into consideration the intensity of pest infestation and as per proper advice from agricultural experts. It may be mentioned that an excess amount as well as continuous application of a particular pesticide has manifold harmful and adverse effects on the environment as well as on living beings, and develops immunity within the insect body against specific pesticides.

But my legs won't move Like I was rooted Deep into the brown earth. My lips won't speak Like stitched together With the thread of silence, Silence of eternity.

Tanvi Hussain NE Space Applications Centre, Shillong scientific method of monitoring from the very first day of seed sowing or else pest population will increase at a faster rate without the knowledge of the farmers. Subsequently, within a very short time, it will spread to the neighbouring crop fields with a higher intensity. Within the purview of modern agriculture, scientists have developed Integrated Pest Management (IPM) method, which is a very significant way of keeping harmful insects within a tolerable limit. Hence, at the time when situation calls for taking action against harmful insect pests, measures are to be taken only on the basis of detailed instructions along with close supervision of agricultural specialists or village-level extension workers. If the crop necessitates pesticide to be applied Lakshmi Legend says, She emerged from The womb of the deepest ocean; The life-giving spring of water Of wealth, health and all, Prosperity in our lives... We named her Lakshmi, Our beloved one... We started to pray Her! Just wish, If we could also Equally love, Admire and nurture every Little Lakshmi, Unsafe out there... Each innocent girl child; Are they not born as humans, As our hope of good fortune, The light of our future life, The existence of all Humanity itself? Then why is there Such discrimination? Seriously, What double standard We continue to have! Lest we forget, Where a Beti' is threatened, There can never be any Lakshmi! Swapnajyoti Bordoloi JP Nagar, Dibrugarh against certain pest infestation, the first step to be taken is to determine the intensity of pest attack. In this respect, the agricultural scientists have evolved some yardsticks to determine the intensity of pest attack. Hence, pesticides should be applied in a pest-infested field only after ensuring that the intensity of pest infestation has gone beyond limit, which may lead to decrease in crop production. In the case of application of pesticides, the efficiency of a pesticide entirely depends on its recommended d o s e, preparation of s o l u t i o n, method of application and application of total quantity of pesticide solution required for a unit area of crop land. It is also important to note the expiry date of the pesticide mentioned on the label of the container of the pesticide. Otherwise, instead of controlling insect pest it will have adverse effects on the crop and the environment as well. In view of controlling pest, IPM should be followed, as this method is eco-friendly and also friendly to the animal kingdom. bhupen.ani@gmail.com Hillary Clinton made history by clinching the Democratic White House nomination, thus becoming the first woman to lead a major party in the US Presidential race.

THE ASSAM TRIBUNE GUWAHATI, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2016 Page 3 Every technological breakthrough tends to be accompanied by anxious announcements of its catastrophic effect on literature. It is true that new communication technologies often produce new frameworks that adjust the ways in which literature appears: the page, the screen, the website, the file window. The late 19th century literature that followed the revolution in electrical machinery produced a number of enduring fictional pieces that addressed the weirdness of this emerging technology as content, not just form. This is common logic: every new technology makes us think magically' about it, before it becomes integrated into normal experience. They amaze and creep us out in equal measure. Digital literature or electronic literature is a genre of literature encompassing works created exclusively on and for digital devices, such as computers, tablets, and mobile phones. Espen J Aarseth wrote in his book Cybertext: Perspectives on Ergodic Literature that it is possible to explore, get lost, and discover secret paths in these texts, not metaphorically, but through the topological structures of the textual machinery. It s normally a gradual transition into the digital world beginning with new advancements in technology to make things more Reading: The digital delight! Rumi Sharma efficient and accessible. This is comparable to the invention of the printing press in the 15th century, when people did not consider it a major contributor to literature at first. Historically, new technologies don't replace old technologies. The new technology transforms the old and produces a hybrid. Both continue to exist, but in a new way. This holds true in the sense that the internet is not a new invention; it was formed out of the paper bindings of books and the letterheads of mail. With the introduction of online book stores and ebook readers, this presents a new opportunity to both the publishers and the writers. In history, change is not uncommon, and the internet is just one more leap in the way humans read. Reading has taken flight, although not as one would expect. The internet encourages many people to read when they normally would not. Many teenagers hate' reading, yet they spend hours reading blogs and Facebook profiles. Although it is a different experience, reading is reading, and now people are doing this more than ever. With the internet, the readers are consuming a dumped down version of what they normally would take in from a paper form, but the variety is extensive. This could easily become the renaissance of literature. Devoted readers have their own strategies to deal with the challenges. CUNY political scientist Corey Robin, who writes at Crooked Timber, said that the reason I find it so difficult to read these days, now years, is the internet. Another American poet, Frederick Seidel once said in an interview, With ebooks on course to outsell printed editions in the UK by 2018, much has been written about the subject of technology in terms of readers, but it's often overlooked that new technology does more than give writers a different cut of cloth to scribble on. Writing with electronic devices has affected structure, research and editing. It has affected order and it has affected rhythm, from the taptap swipe of a typewriter to the swipe-swipe tap of tablet. Thus being a new genre of literature, it invites all sorts of readers to be acquainted with its form and style, despite its flaws, which could be overcome through more advancement in technology and support of the reading society. rumisharma21@gmail.com When I thought of penning down my views on negative emotions and how it brings health, I was very sceptical as to how everyone would take it? Especially in the era of smile and the world will smile back at you we live in. Everywhere we look, there are messages such as, Smile more often or Think positive as if it was that easy and even the right thing to do. I know I might sound very cynical but being a counsellor and an enthusiast of psychology, I must forewarn you that those messages are hazardous, because they aim to drive people away from a very natural and important psychological resource: negativity. And by reading The Upside of Your Dark Side by Todd Kashdan and Robert Biswas Diener, you will see that there are many scientific findings supporting this claim. So when I was going through an article about the positive side of negative emotions, this particular therapist says that he was counselling a client seeking help untangling his personal problems, even though as a counsellor, he strives to be warm, non-judgmental and encouraging, but he got a bit unsettled when in the midst of describing his painful experiences, he says, "I'm sorry for being so negative." That's when I decided to write about our negative emotions, because a vital purpose of therapy is to learn to acknowledge and express a full range of emotions, and here was a client apologising for doing just that. I have seen cases with highly distressing emotions but the saddest part is when we are guilty or ashamed for feeling such emotions for what we perceive it to be negativity. Such reactions undeniably stem from our culture's intervening bias towards positive thinking. Although positive emotions are worth cultivating, problems arise when people start believing that they must be upbeat all the time. As they say, the quest of happiness is a noble quest and indeed working to become a happier person has many obvious (and some not so obvious) profits. But it would be easy to take this truth and derive some altogether false and damaging ideas from it. Happiness is indeed a virtue, but it is too easy to dismiss negative emotions as, by contrast, something "bad". It's not enjoyable Dark bright to feel aggravated, sad, worried, and so on, but that doesn't mean that these negative emotions are altogether or intrinsically bad. In fact, experiencing a variety of emotions is an extremely advantageous thing and it is a defining element of our civilisation and necessary for living an unprejudiced life. In fact, anger and sadness are a vital part of life, and new research shows that experiencing and accepting such emotions are vital to our mental health. Attempting to suppress thoughts can backfire and even diminish our sense of contentment. Instead of backing away from negative emotions, acknowledge them. Accept how you are feeling without hastening to alter your emotional state. If we always tell ourselves to smile when all we want to do is cry, we are psychologically mistreating ourselves, which in the long run will negatively impact our psychological welfare. Negative emotions exist for a reason; they make us aware of our self and inform us of our values. They protect us, make us aware of dangers, and let us is the new Palkee Baruah know something is not working for us. If the emotion is overwhelming, you may want to express how you feel in a journal or to another person. The exercise may shift your perspective and bring a sense of closure. If the discomfort lingers, consider taking action. You may want to tell a friend her comment was hurtful or take steps to leave the job that makes you miserable. You may also try doing mindfulness exercises to help you become aware of your present experience without passing judgment on it. One way to train yourself to adopt this state is to focus on your breathing while meditating and simply acknowledge any fleeting thoughts or feelings. I know, a lot has been written about how to cope with or how to wane away negative emotions, after all we know that every one of us is vulnerable to crisis or any catastrophe. And I am not trying to convince you that negative is better than being positive, but there are moments where allowing yourself into some negativity can help you achieve better results in your life, work, relationship, etc. The secret is to become skilled at implementing the right equilibrium between positive and negative emotions. Of course positive emotions generate a more gratifying feeling but that doesn't mean we should always be in positive states of mind. Let's accept our negative emotions instead of backing away and suppressing them. We should be able to acknowledge our feelings without rushing to change our emotional state. If you see the brighter side, negative emotions play a pivotal role in motivating us to achieve the zenith because nobody wants to change if he or she is feeling good. Negative emotions prompt us to act upon our current circumstance and generate positive changes. Again, I am not at all trying to debase positivity but it is important for us to know that we are human beings who feel both positive and negative emotions. palkeeb@gmail.com Mysterious humanoids Russia's Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater body in the world. This colossal lake holds more indigenous species of flora and fauna than any other lake. It is a home to the golomyanka (oil fish) and the Baikal seal (Nerpa) that are found nowhere else. There are reports and photographs from NASA that suggest that this lake is a base for extraterrestrial visitors. It conceals creatures that hail from the outside of this world. Vladimir Azhazha, a famous ufologist and former Soviet naval officer, declassified secret files released by the Russian Government which indicate that in 1982, seven military divers, while training in the depths of Baikal, spied bizarrely shaped underwater vehicles that moved faster than any other technology the Soviet nation Partha Pratim Hazarika was in possession of at that time. They came across a squad of silver suit clad creatures, who were clearly non-humans. The divers tried to capture them, resulting in the death of three of them. Azhazha believes that underwater bases harbouring UFOs (or USOs unidentified submerged objects) are a very real possibility. Are these humanoids an intergalactic version of protectors protecting the underwater headquarters of nonearth beings? Or are they simply a case of crytids and aliens doing their best to co-exist in the vast expanse of Baikal? Whatever the answer may be, this ancient and isolated Russian lake must be considered one of the most mysterious regions on our planet.

For a daily commuter like most of us, a car is not the most practical thing to use, as the traffic condition is headed from bad to worse. Most of the time they are stuck at traffic jams, parking spaces are scarce, and narrow and congested roads abound. Buses and trains can't possibly take you all the way to your destination. Slow as it is, walking can be harmful under midday sun. Bikes and scooters are the only possible commuter vehicles. If only we could have a foldable two-wheeler, carry it onto our bus to our destination and ride it right up to our office or home! Yes, a folding electric scooter, just the kind most of us need. It s no longer a dream thing and there are numerous such scooters up for grabs, although this is not yet a common sight in this part of the world.

Yes, in sentences like I have a cold, I have a headache, She has a red pen, We have many students or My uncle has a lot of money, etc., the have or has is used in possessive sense. It is also called possessive have. Okay. So this possessive have is not used in continuous form? Usually not.

However, have in non-possessive sense can be used in continuous form: We are having guests for dinner or He is having class at 2 pm So have in these sentences is non-possessive? Yes, in the first sentence the meaning is we are entertaining guests for dinner and in the second he is attending his class at 2 pm Okay. Can you give me some other examples of our wrong usage?

Pruduced by Zerotech, Dobby is available comparatively cheap (at $399 in the US) as rival drones with built-in cameras retail for over a $1,000, making it an attractive option for hobbyists.

Wine tastes better with cheese The next time you drink a glass of wine, don't forget to combine it with a cube of cheese. Researchers have confirmed that consuming cheese may actually increase how much someone likes the wine they are drinking. The study, published in the Journal of Food Science, used a new sensory evaluation method and found consuming cheese while drinking wine impacted the description and preference of different wines. When having a plate of assorted cheeses, the wine will probably taste better no matter which one they choose, said lead author Mara Galmarini from University of Burgundy Franche-Comte. The study was conducted at the Center for Taste and Feeding Behavior in France with frequent wine and cheese consumers from the city of Dijon. The participants evaluated four wines (Pacherenc, Sancerre, Bourgogne and Madiran) using a new sensory evaluation method developed by the researchers to show how perception and liking of wine change after cheese intake over several sips, which is closer to what happens in typical consumption. Four different cheeses were sampled over different sessions with each wine. Results showed that cheese consumption had an impact on the description for all wines, and impacted preference for most. None of the four cheeses included in the study had a negative impact on wine preference. Liking of each wine was increased or remained the same after cheese intake. In both red wines (Bourgogne and Madiran), the four cheeses decreased the duration of dominance of astringency and increased that of red fruits aroma. In the sweet white (Pacherenc), the duration of dominance of sweetness was not changed by cheese intake, but in the white dry wine, cheeses had an impact on the main aroma. Thanks to our research we learned that the duration of the perception of astringency of a certain wine could be reduced after having cheese and that the four evaluated cheeses had the same effect, Galmarini said.

Into the wedding mode - II H ow can a bride manage p r e - b r i d a l grooming in a couple of days? But, then, there are brides who come out of town and even out of the Prasantt Ghosh country, and they can t afford prolonged pre-bridal grooming. For them the reputed parlours have special bridal face packs, scrubs and masks, and thereafter, the bridal package. For these brides, and in fact, all others, I would suggest regular facials (once a month). Add to that a good diet, lots of water and walking exercises, which will do to one s beauty that no make-up can. Make-up also has to be according to an individual s looks and features. One basic rule heavy make-up is a complete no-no. The skin must be well-toned using a toner and concealer wherever required. The face should be well-contoured with the help of highlighters and colours, rounding off square jaws, making a long face appear wellproportioned, a round face thinner, small eyes bigger, and big eyes well-defined. Lips should look full. An overall desired effect is what make-up should do. Make-up colours have to be subtle and in complete harmony with the outfit one is wearing. The matte look, with smoky, lightly shaded eyes, lots of kohl and a dash of gloss on the lips is the winning look of the season. Frosted shades like amber, lilac and light tan for the eyes are underlined. Lehenga cholis are the rule these days for brides. Shararas and gararas are a nice contemporary option. However, Assamese, Bengalis and South Indian brides still prefer the silk bridal wear. Brides often wear very heavy jewellery and two to three different necklaces. But it is advisable to wear just one stunning set. A tika on the forehead, an artistic but conventional bindi underneath, along with the typical bridal bindis, not along the entire length of the eyebrows but just subtly halfway, is what gives the bride her ultimate bridal look. For the bride to look happy and beautiful on the most important day of her life, she must be comfortable and not loaded with heavy outfits, jewellery and make up. www.prasanttghosh.com (The writer is a fashion designer and c h o r e o g r a - pher) Fame is alienating: Gaga POP star Lady Gaga says she finds fame alienating and toxic.

Fame is so alienating and it's toxic for the creative process, for me, because I need human connection in order to write music.

Seyfried s life with OCD ACTRESS Amanda Seyfried (30) has revealed that she is living with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), which affects most areas of her life. The actress has had the mental health condition for years and takes antidepressant Lexapro to help her control the symptoms, reported Female First. I've been on it since I was 19, so 11 years. I'm on the lowest dose. I don't see the point of getting off of it. Whether it's placebo or not, I don't want to risk it. And what are you fighting against? Just the stigma of using a tool?

AGENCIES Page 4 With the onset of autumn, the festive spirit extends all throughout the eastern and northeastern parts of the country. Last autumn was no different. However, it was scheduled to be a bit unique and exciting for this group of people (cousins, elder sister, members from both families, and I). The plan was sketched out in advance. Having travelled by air, public transport and railways, we finally landed up in the city of lakes Udaipur. It was hot and humid as the scorching sun shone down on us. Soon enough we finally reached our guesthouse. Dusk was ensuing rapidly as we set out to explore, traversing through the lanes of Udaipur. We came by many a handicraft and ornamental store on our trail. Influence of north-western artistry was clearly reflected from the items that were on sale. Having travelled for a little less than 30 minutes, we reached Gangaur Ghat by the Lake Pichola. Gangaur or Gangori Ghat happens to be one of the most celebrated destinations in the city. A large number of local festivals, commencing from the heart of the Royal Palace, terminate here. With the full moon shining brilliantly, the Taj Lake Palace, one of the most beautiful palace hotels in the world, was visible in the crystal clear waters of Lake Pichola. Our next itinerary on the list was an City of lakes 18th century museum, Bagore-ki-Haveli. Located just a walk away from the Gangaur Ghat, this palace turned museum serves as a mirror to the ancient stories and creative works centred around the Maharanas or the valiant Rajputs. This museum clearly depicts fine works from the Mewari style of art. Another feature of the museum is the Dharohar a cultural show that's performed daily. Like any other tourist in the house, we, too, decided to shed some bucks and catch a show. We were expecting a simple programme but as we entered the premises of the Neem Chowk, aka the neem courtyard, we were left awestruck. The seating arrangements were far from normal, but quite comfortable. Mattresses were laid out in every possible manner, encircling the neem tree. Colourful lights ran all throughout the premises, which emanated signs of a beautifully planned event. A few moments after we grabbed our seats, the show commenced with a formal introduction, preceded by the beating of the drum and the blowing of the conch shell. What followed was indeed commendable. Beautifully dressed and ornamented womenfolk from the northwestern community presented an array of dance forms, along with a puppetry act. Starting from the Gavri dance form to the Chari dance, every other dance form that was presented that evening Director: Rajeev Chaudhari Starring: Sunny Leone, Rajniesh Duggall, Daniel Weber Beiimaan Love is another yawn-inducing film starring Sunny Leone, who is fast losing out on her oomph quotient if the recent string of failures is any indication. How long will the audience put up with hot item numbers and steamy scenes alone minus any story or some semblance of performance? Sunaina Janki Verma (Sunny Leone) goes on to become a top jewellery marketeer, stealing the thunder over the Malhotras. Now, the Malhotra scion, Raj (Rajniesh Duggal), had ditched Sunaina after knowing about the dubious past of her mother just before their wedding. After her new-found success, Raj returns to Sunaina only to be spurned by her in an act of revenge. Crappy? Yeah, Jitu Changmai that is what it is. Each actor is lousier than the other as the scenes roll out. Sunny Leone s real-life husband, Daniel Weber, plays a character called Daniel Peterson who is the vice-president of the International Gems and Jewellery Association Amlan Saikia was truly amazing. The day concluded with what was indeed an exemplary display of art and culture. For the following day, we prepared to take a stroll down the lanes of history and drove to the actual site of the famous battle of Haldighati, fought between the Rana of Mewar, Maharana Pratap and Mughal Emperor Akbar s forces led by Man Singh I. Next, we made our way into the war cemetery cum Maharana Pratap museum, located a few kilometres away from the main war site. A clear visualisation of the war period was presented in this museum with the help of audio-visual aids. Moreover, the museum depicted the life journey of Maharana Pratap, right from his birth till his death. Post-noon, we headed back to the city. The City Palace, the royal palace of the king of Udaipur stood with all its vigour, as the golden rays of the setting sun kissed the fortress. The palace was beautifully built with one of its walls facing Lake Pichola. Dusk was approaching fast as we ticked off the last item on our to-do list. True to every extent, one who has ever trailed this land is certain to carry back beautiful memories of north-western art, culture and knowledge. With a heavy heart, our group of revellers bade farewell to the city of lakes, and enthusiastically made plans for the next phase of travel. amlan.saikia01@gmail.com and who supports her in the hour of need. The music is the only redeeming factor with composers like from Ankit Tiwari, Raghav Sachar to Sanjeev-Darshan and Amjad-Nadeem belting out some scorchers for the dance floor. Director: Sanjeev Sharma Starring: Manoj Bajpayee, Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor, Kay Kay Menon, Vijay Raaz, Aditi Sharma Ameandering film, Saat Uchakkey is meant to be a dark comedy. But despite the intention and the cred-ible acting in parts, it fails to hit the mark. Full of cuss words and irreverence, the proceedings which depict a slice of the seedy life in Old Delhi get dull and grating after some time. Through a narrator, Bichchi (Annu Kapoor) apparently a lunatic we are led on to a motley group of characters beginning with an antique seller and power thief, Pappi (Manoj Bajpayee). Pappi has the hots for Sona (Aditi Sharma), but she is also the cynosure of cop Tejpal (Kay Kay Menon). Into this maze is introduced a lawyer, Jaggi (Vijay Raaz), and a hallucinating diwan (Anupam Kher). There is a treasure hunt by seven unlikely accomplices in the diwan s disputed haveli. The cast is okay with Manoj Bajpayee, Kay Kay Menon and Vijay Raaz turning in good performances. However, Annu Kapoor and Anupam Kher overact in some scenes. Abhishek Ray has scored the music. jchangmai@gmail.com THE ASSAM TRIBUNE GUWAHATI, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2016 Guwahati autos At a time when Ola and Uber cabs seem to rule the roost in Guwahati, ferrying passengers from one corner of the city to another, and that too just at the press of a smartphone app, it may be interesting to ponder over the mode of commuting a couple of decades ago, when the good old autos or autorickshaws used to be the only luxury of the common man, apart from city buses and hand-driven rickshaws of the 1980s, and even a little earlier in the 1970s. According to senior citizen and Gauhati historian Dasharathi Goswami, The autorickshaws started to ply in Guwahati sometime around the early 1970s. It was in the period between 1972-1973 that the young and educated unemployed youths of Gauhati (nay Assam, especially in the plains districts) were getting inclined to owning an auto and driving it to earn a livelihood. It (autorickshaw) was initially introduced to help the educated unemployed youths of the then Gauhati town, under the Self-employment Scheme of the government, and was introduced by Sarat Chandra Sinha, a humble Gandhian to the core and the fifth Chief Minister of Assam from 1972-78. The government had also offered subsidy to those who had wished to purchase an autorickshaw. Moreover, during those days the nationalised banks had also offered loans to those youths who had a dream of owning an autorickshaw. Md Anower Hussain, who has been driving autos in Gauhati since the late 1970s, nostalgically sings the famous auto song of Bhupen Hazarika and Jayanta Hazarika from inside his auto at the Ganesh Mandir auto stand: Autorickshaw solau aami duiu bhai/ Guwahati kori gulzar/ba fail moi, soru bhai MA pass/ Bankot bohutu dhaar... to give a feel of the trials and tribulations of goodold autos and autowalas. Rupeswar Saikia, a veteran autorickshaw driver who is Sk Md Sabah Al-Ahmed still active with his auto on the streets of Guwahati, narrates the humble origins in a frank têteà-tête inside his auto at the Ganesh Mandir auto stand: I started driving autos in 1975, after landing here from my native place Lakhimpur as a teenager, soon after my matriculation. During those days, the price of petrol was Rs 12.80, while the auto fare was a humble 80 paise per km. The petrol pump owners used to offer us the engine oil (needed to be mixed with the petrol) absolutely free of cost. It was also during those days that Chief Minister Sarat Chandra Sinha had procured a total of five autos from Delhi to help the educated unemployed youths of Gauhati. When the North-East session of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) was held at Jawahar Nagar on November 20-22, 1976, these autos were pressed into service to ferry delegates to the AICC session. During those days, autos were fixed with a small metre, which only displayed the number of kilometres traversed but not the auto fare. This apart, unlike today s rear engines, the engines during those days were below the auto driver s seat and could be seen when the seat was lifted up. Reminiscing the good old days as an autorickshaw driver of the Gauhati of the 1970s, Rupeswar Saikia gleefully narrates: During the 1970s, we usually used to ply our autos for only half a day till around 1pm. The earnings from half-a-day s auto driving would suffice and the second half would mostly be spent in a cinema hall enjoying a Hindi movie of Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha or Dharmendra. This apart, most of the passengers would be so warm and hospitable that after we had reached their destination (mostly their residence/home), they would offer us a glass of cold water, juice or even a cup of tea. I still yearn for those lost days where trade and tranquillity were synonymous with each other. sabahalahmed@gmail.com Articles for Horizon should carry the address and contact number of the contributor.
