Late on Tuesday, Gujarat home department sus-pended five policemen including two police inspectors(PI) of Gandhinagar and Vadodara, who were found tobe linked with bookies running the racket from a farmhouse in Vadodara. “Based on the enforcementdirectorate’s report, we have ordered an inquiry into theallegations of nexus between bookies and police and sus-pended five policemen,” Gujarat’s additional chief sec-retary (home) GR Aloria.

But I have managedto pull myself out of mostthese situations, which is a bigpositive.” It is the ability topull himself out of tough situ-

ations that sets Lahiri apartfrom his Indian peers andexplains why he is about tobecome just the third Indianprofessional golfer to playThe Masters, the most ex-clusive of the golf’s fourMajor championships. It is aquality that Lahiri has honedwith the kind of deliberate at-

tention that most golfers onlygive to the physical side oftheir games. “I think he lovesit [the pressure],” DarshanVeeraraghavan, who wasone of Lahiri's contemporar-ies at the IGU junior golfcamps held at Eagleton golfcourse near Bangalore start-ing in 2002.

paradigm shift in howpeople relate to technology.But that's how people relateto the Watch, not how it re-lates to the workplace.Though there's been someconcern about yet anotherdevice walking into theworkplace -- network is-sues, data privacy concerns-- there's nothing the Watchcan do that an iPhonedoesn't already do.

Priced from INR8.19 lac, the MPV com-petes against the more af-fordable Maruti Ertiga andHonda Mobilio as well asthe expensive ToyotaInnova. The boxy design ofthe Lodgy makes it seemmassive in size, in fact it is.At 4498 mm, its slightlyshorter than the Innova andis much bigger than theMobilio or the Ertiga. Ad-ditionally, a nice chin spoilerup front with the entirelower section finished inblack, gives the front asporty character. Movingto the rear, here those radi-cal tail lights which are de-signed to reflect an arrow

in motion comes as themajor highlight, quite off-beat though.On the inside,the Lodgy feels every bit asspacious as it looks. Witha wheelbase of 2810 mmwhich is even longer thaneven the Innova, the Lodgyboasts the best-in-classspace. The two tone dash-board is a quite simple andclean. Ans some parts likethe air-conditioning controlsand vents, gear lever, dials,stalks, steering wheel, win-dow switches, and most ofthe buttons are takenstraight out of the DusterAWD. Like the Duster,Lodgy too get same 1.5-li-tre K9K diesel engine,available in the 84bhp andthe 108.5bhp versions.However, there isn't apetrol engine in the offing.
