QUOTE OF THE

DAYBrexit’s Aftershocks: EU must confront its failuresBritons have voted and a hugely polarising campaign has resulted in a landmark vote to leave the EU and the resignation of the British prime minister. Even as the implications of the result are being digested, there is little doubt that it marks a seminal moment in the nation’s trajectory. The decision shall impact not just the British electorate but also the wider European project. Britain’s demand for a referendum and its ne-gotiation with Europe had focused on concerns over economic governance, competitiveness, the erosion of sovereignty and migration. Prime Minister David Cameron had urged the electorate to vote “remain” but fellow Tory, Boris Johnson, exhorted the elector-ate to vote “leave”. The internecine turbulence in the Tories on the subject turned out to be emblematic of the broader conundrum facing voters. It was said to be too close to call and the outcome justified that cau-tion. A night of high drama, which began marginally in favour of the “remain” camp ended with a narrow but decisive victory for the “leavers”. The margin of victory has revealed a nation sharply divided across the socio-economic spectrum. The leave campaign had positioned the debate as one about “taking back control”. Their narrative was framed as one about re-invigorating Britain’s destiny as a sovereign power capable of determining its own choices. It is a worl-dview that prefers to see Brexit as an opportunity to break free from the shackles of a centralising and bu-reaucratic EU. Some of the more erudite leavers artic-ulated a vision of Britain competent enough to strike its own trade deals with emerging economies and con-trolling its immigration agenda to pick highly-skilled immigrants over low-skilled ones. On the other hand, the remain campaign had been at pains to point out the possibility of economic self-harm due to Brexit. In this narrative, unrestricted access to Europe’s sin-gle market had been trumpeted as crucial to Britain’s trade and economic progress. The remain camp also sought to make the case for the broader benefits of EU membership in an age where critical challenges over international security, climate change and mass migration warrant closer international cooperation. Clearly, the leavers have persuaded the electorate. But what might the immediate fall-out look like for Britain and others? First, the immediate aftermath has crystallised the possibility of market volatility with uncertainty for the British economy and associated uncertainty globally. This will likely need calm reas-surance from central banks across different regions. Second, by triggering the resignation of David Cam-eron, a fundamentally decent moderniser, it sets the scene for a change in leadership by this autumn, and will reorder the government’s agenda substantially. This is remarkable given that it was only a year ago that Cameron won a majority mandate in the general election. T.S. Eliot’s maxim that “in a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse” has been borne out. Third, the spectre of another Scottish referendum can’t be ruled out given that Scottish voters were overwhelmingly in favour of remaining in the EU. Equally problemati-cally, the leavers will need to reconcile their politi-cal and economic idealism with actual expectations from their core voters.

“My priorities are very different. The kind of work that these girls have put in, you need to have that kind of dedication of wanting to achieve so much and do it so wonderfully. I don’t want to conquer the world but I don’t mind having a little place of my own. It’s as simple as that,” - While Bollywood actresses like Priyanka, Deepika are making a splash in the West, their contemporary Kareena

Kapoor says she has no ambition to go globe-trotting with her talent and is happy to have “a little place of her own”.

Be it as an actor or real-ity star or in the current spiritual avatar as Gaia Mother, Sofia Hayat nev-er fails to grab the spot-light.

“Today I know I gave birth to Shiva. Today he came back to me and is inside me,” she wrote. Sometime back, Hayat announced the removal of breast implants and de-clared to be celibate for life.

Sobhita won the Miss Earth title in 2013 and also featured on the popular Kingfisher calendar in 2014. “When I saw her audition, I had no idea who she was, not even her name.

Anushka Sharma feels it will be interesting if films on the lines of Charlie’s Angels with actresses do-ing action sequences are made in Bollywood. The NH 10 star, who plays the role of a wrestler in her upcoming film Sultan said to have an all female cast in an action project would be interesting. “Wres-tling is not an action it is a sport. I hope it happens (more action films are of-fered to heroines). I think it will be cool to have a film like Charlie’s Angels or Ghostbusters with all female cast.

kindness that he will be a great father to Laksshya.” Dr. Firuza Parikh, Direc-tor of IVF and Genetics at the Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre, led the treatment and states, “I am impressed with Tusshar’s determination to be a father. He main-tained a keen interest in the baby’s health at every stage. He will surely be a sensitive and nurturing parent.”

India winners I have ever met. It was a big surprise to see a Miss Earth who did not care about how she looked but did care whether she was getting the character and emo-tions right,” Mr Kashyap said. “In the days we shot the film, she drowned her-self in character so much that she became Sim-my (Sobhita’s character in the movie). She saw every single cut of Ra-

man Raghav 2.0 as many times as it was screened, even more than me. That is how nuts she is,” he added. Raman Raghav 2.0 also stars Nawazud-din Siddiqui and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles. Re-leased on Friday, the film is loosely inspired by no-torious psychopath serial killer Raman Raghav who embarked on a murderous killing spree in Mumbai during the 1960s.

It’s in front of me and soon it will be in front of you.” The feud began when Kangana Ranaut in an interview, hinted at Hrithik, calling him a ‘silly ex’.

Monday marks the 77th birth anniversary of leg-endary Bollywood music composer Rahul Dev Burman. Fondly known as Pancham Da by con-temporaries and fans, he created a perfect song for each mood. Celebrating the late genius, search engine Google has dedicated a doodle to Burman. It is a rather simple doodle with music symbols forming the background and a smiling Pancham Da, in the foreground. Today’s doodle, visible in India and Sri Lanka, carries a colorful portrait of Pancham Da, along with music notes and scenes from some of his famous Bollywood songs in the background. The legendary music composer, who started making music at the age of nine, composed for more than 330 movies, which still works as an influence for today’s music composers.

After over a decade of surprising people with his football skills, Lio-nel Messi shocked them twice in minutes on Sunday night. First, like Franco Baresi and Robert Baggio did the last time a major football tourna-ment came to the USA, he sent his penalty-kick into orbit. Then, after endur-ing what must have been the worst 20-odd min-utes of his career, Messi announced he was done with playing for Argenti-na. Unless he has a dream like Zinedine Zidane and a re-think, this is it for him as an international. The 2008 Olympic gold medal would be all that he has won for Argenti-na. “The national team is over for me…It’s not for me after four finals. The decision is made, I be-

Aiming to stop the ille-gal diversion of certain chemical formulations used to prepare drugs, such as heroin and ‘meth-amphetamine’, the Nar-cotics Control Bureau (NCB) has planned to sensitize the pharma-ceutical industry to curb the practice. Apart from concern about abuse of chemicals by drug mafia to manufacture psycho-tropic drugs, also known as party drugs, NCB of-

ficials are also worried about the sale of ‘over the counter’ medicines, which are used as drugs by many. The proposed exercise of sensitising the industry about this serious issue came in the backdrop of two recent incidents, where author-ities have learned about the use of two chemical compounds which are il-legally used in manufac-turing heroin and meth-amphetamine. According to Zonal Director of Ahmedabad NCB Hari

Om Gandhi, pharma and chemical companies can play a crucial role in pre-venting the illegal use of formulations. “Our prob-lem is related to the sale of prescription drugs, such as cough syrup, sold over the counter. Just like the US, people in India too use such medicines as drugs. There is a need to regulate the sale of such medicines, as no record is maintained at present about who bought those medicines and for what purpose,” he said.
