are very romantic: Deepika Padukone

Agency | New Delhi

Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor and Im-tiaz Ali were on a pro-motional train trip from Mumbai to Delhi for their film “Tamasha” and the actress had a lot of fun as she finds such very journeys very “ro-mantic”. The 29-year-old “Piku” star, who hopped on the Suvidha Express from Mumbai Central yesterday, says love for travel, food and trains, is a common fac-tor that binds her, Ran-bir, and the “Highway” filmmaker together.Scuffle over land dispute injures

Most of the base metals dropped at the non-fer-rous metal market here today on reduced de-mand from stockists and industrial users on the back of bearish global cues. Globally, industri-al metal copper slipped to a fresh six-and-a-half year low in early trade, as traders bet metals prices had further to fall given China’s slowing facto-ry demand. Nickel slid by Rs 20 per kg to Rs 710 from last Saturday’s close of Rs 730. Copper utensils scrap, copper sheet cuttings and tin fell by Rs 10 per kg each to Rs 335, Rs 350 and Rs 1,120 from overnight closing level of Rs 345, Rs 360 and Rs 1,130.

Finance minister Arun Jaitley on Monday asked state-owned banks to clean up their balance sheets at the earliest, stressing that they have all the powers to deal with wilful defaulters. The minister during his meet-ing with heads of public sector banks (PSBs) also reviewed interest rate in the light of key policy rate reduction by RBI in September. Institutional measures being taken to assist banks in reducing NPAs were also discussed in the second quarterly performance review in six months. The gross Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) of public sector banks rose to 6.03% at the end of June, as against 5.20% in March this year.

Peter further wrote that Sheena “...played you and now gone to some-thing else... Why drive yourself in futility?” In a subsequent email on the same day, Rahul wrote

that he didn’t think that “my feelings are unjusti-fied or unreasonable. I’m feeling like I have very few options left with re-gards to getting answers.” He also claimed that Peter was in denial in his refusal to believe that Indrani was Sheena’s mother. “His name is Siddarth Das, and he is her biological dad... Just as indrani is her moth-

However, Peter, in his re-ply, wrote that he wanted Rahul to move on because “I’m more interested in you and your long term well being & happiness than in Sheena’s personal-ly”. He also claimed that Sheena’s family in Guwa-hati subscribed to the the-ory that she had “fled with some rich fellow” and that he, Rahul was “sweating it out like a tennager (sic) in love”. Later, when Rahul gave his father an explicit reply, Peter wrote back to say that he was upset be-cause “I’ve really not be able to impart anything on you, off and on over the years.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYPM Narendra Modi: Slogans, strategies, showbizSlogans are pet political tools. They also reveal the direction in which the political masters of the day want the country to move. But unless slogans are backed with appropriate strategies and persever-ance, they often fizzle out without delivery, remain-ing only as showbiz. Late Prime Minister Lal Baha-dur Shastri raised the slogan “Jai jawan, jai kisan” in the mid-1960s, highlighting the importance of the armed forces in securing our borders and farmers in ensuring our food security. After all, armies can’t march on empty stomachs. Even today, that slogan resonates and inspires. Late PM Indira Gandhi’s most famous slogan was “Garibi hatao”, in the early 1970s. She took several socialist steps to eliminate poverty, including the takeover of wholesale trade in wheat and rice, only to be given up after a major fi-asco. Has garibi vanished over all these years? UPA 2, on its last legs, was still counting whether the poor constituted 21 per cent, 30 per cent or 67 per cent of the population — the poor they wanted to provide highly subsidised food through the National Food Security Act, 2013. But no past political master can match our present PM, Narendra Modi, in coining new slogans and catching the imagination of the mass-es. Who won’t like slogans like “Sabka saath, sabka vikas”, “Swachh Bharat”, “Make in India”, “Per drop, more crop”, JAM (Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile), and so on? Each is well intentioned, with a lot of show-manship. The lion of Make in India is now widely vis-ible in every effort to woo investors. But in a number of recent meetings I’ve had with India’s top investors, one question that most had on their lips was, “Slo-gans are fine, but where is the commensurate strategy to turn it into reality?” And that’s worrying. Let me dig a little deeper into at least one slogan I think can be the most fruitful. If implemented through a solid strategy, it can bring rich dividends, political and eco-nomic. And that’s “Sabka saath, sabka vikas”. It was meant to work across the spectrum of parties, states, socio-economic and religious groups. But where’s the strategy to make it a reality? I’m not an expert on how to get “sabka saath” to get work done in the Rajya Sabha, or how to promote harmony and tolerance, al-though I feel that India, in general, is quite tolerant. But I’m definitely concerned with “sabka vikas”, and it’s here that I feel the government’s strategy is get-ting increasingly skewed in favour of those who are already better-off. We hear a lot about FDI, Make in India, smart cities, bullet trains, etc, which are going to benefit the middle and upper-middle classes.

But after they broke up things did not work and then names of several actors like Shah Rukh Khan and

Taking weak cues from the global market and slack demand from jewellers, gold extended its slide for the second straight day as prices plunged Rs 100 to Rs 25,650 per 10 grams. Silver slipped below the Rs 34,000-mark by falling Rs 225 to Rs 33,800 per kg on reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Bullion traders said a weakening trend in the global market amid growing confidence in the US Fed to raise interest next month helped the dollar cement gains, eroding demand for the pre-cious metals. Furthermore, a muted demand from jewellers and retailers pulled down gold prices, they said.

The Proteas captain hit an unbeaten 253, the second high-est of his 23 three-figure knocks in Test cricket, at the same VCA stadium on the outskirts in Nagpur

Fiery pace bowl-er Dale Steyn then picked up a 10-wicket haul in the same match, including a career-best 7-51 in the first innings, to fashion South Africa’s emphatic win by an innings and six runs. The top-ranked tourists, down 1-0 in the current four-match series, will hope to recreate the same magic as they battle to preserve their nine-year unbeaten series record on

And this donation is for the progress of our coun-try. Therefore, I general-ly never miss to exercise my franchise,” Sudha Pansuriya, a homemak-er, said after casting her vote at a polling station in Ravindranath Tagore Civic Centre of RMC on Amin Marg.

the T-shirt, he was asked to change it. Desai protest-ed, but the DCP remained firm and asked policemen to take him out of the polling booth. Desai re-turned after changing his clothes. When contacted, Chauhan said, “The poll-

On polling day, why Keshubhai Patel is angry and on whom

told that he would not be able to cast his vote online. Due to this Keshubhai had to travel to Rajkot to cast his vote. Keshubhai said, “I have to come to Rajkot to cast my vote. I wanted to cast my vote online as per the rules. A week ago I vis-

ited Rajkot and told Depu-ty Collector about my wish to cast my vote online from Gandhinagar. He extended help and sent persons to my place. My finger print and signature were taken, and form was filled 8 days ago. Later the remaining pro-

cedures were to be com-pleted by the state election commission in their office. A day before yesterday I was communicated that I would not be able to cast my vote online. Who is responsible for this? I had completed all the proce-dure. They were talking big, I was not in capacity to come to vote here in Rajkot. I criticize them. I have conveyed my dis-pleasure to SEC chief. If it was not possible, they could convey me earlier. I could then arrange my programme accordingly.

I told SEC chief that this was wrong. I can’t react to other complains com-ing from section of voters without going into details, but I am Patidar too, and I am speaking about my experience.” It should be mentioned that over 20,000 voters had regis-tered for e-voting in six municipal corporations, but day before yesterday, the State Election Com-mission declared that only 1300 odd would be able to cast their vote online due to lack of physical verifi-cation of others.
