Arnab Goswami, who was going through a lull period after JNU, managed to create buzz on drought in Maharashtra with some help from cricket commentator and administrator, Charu Sharma.

The exchange between them was fun to watch as both of them are combative and professional communicators.

Arnab Goswami wanted IPL in Maharashtra to be scrapped as farmers were struggling without water.

Charu Sharma opposed saying it was pointless symbolism, which was picking on IPL, without making similar demands on others such as golf courses.

Charu Sharma started saying 'take a deep breath Arnab' and asked if the Time Now offices had switched off air conditioning as it was water intensive. He also asked if Times of India had stopped publishing newspapers as paper manufacturing was very waster intensive.

Had the Times group sent 10,000 trucks bearing water to Latur to help farmers, Charu Sharma wanted to know.

Arnab Goswami called Charu Sharma's arguments ridiculous and asked if he had saved 300 ml of water by skipping shaving in the morning.

The debate proceeded further after both sides had made such profound arguments.

Suresh Raina gave a viral worthy response to a journalist at a press conference in Mumbai on Thursday.

Raina was asked to comment over the slection of the new coach to oversee Indian cricket team. A journalist asked him if he preferred an Indian coach or foreign coach.

Pat, came the reply from  Raina. "Are you comfortable with your own wife or someone else’s?”

As the press room broke into laughter, Raina perhaps thought he may have overstepped.

He said it was for BCCI to decide and he was just a player who would have to manage with whatever he was given with. He had played for the country for 11 years and knew his responsibility, he pointed out.

Many were quick to compare Raina's quick repartee with Dhoni;s recent press conferences in which India ODI captain has targeted journalists. While Dhoni's responses were acrimonious, Raina  spoke in jest and managed  to raise a chuckle from everyone.

Trupti Desai and a fellow woman activist  climbed the platform of the Shani Shingnapur temple and entered the sanctum sanctorum on Friday.

As they entered the premise, a security guard manning the gate leading to the sanctum sanctorum, opened it bringing to an end a successful agitation against the 400-year-old discrimination against women.

A video from Times Now shows the two women making  a water offering to Lord Shani .

Earlier in the day, the Shani Shingnapur temple trust decided to allow women after a large group of men breached the security and offered prayers at the sanctum sanctorum.

It has been a tradition for male devotees to offer the water after performing a pooja on Gudi Padwa every year, which fell on Friday.

Sayaram Bankar, a trustee of Shani Shingnapur temple, said the trustees decided to facilitate entry of women as well after the men's group forced their way in.

The Bombay High Court had on April 1 held that it is the women's fundamental right to go into places of worship and the government was duty-bound to protect it.

A women's group , Bhoomata Brigade led by activist  Trupti Desai had been agitating for the entry of women into the sanctum sanctorum of the Shani Shingnapur temple.

Retired IPS officer DG Vanzara returned to Gujarat after a break of nine years following his arrest in 2007 in the Ishrat Jahan and Sohrabuddin encounter cases.

A large gathering of supporters welcomed him at the Ahmedabad airport on Friday morning.

He later attended a reception at the Gandhinagar town hall with people dancing, playing drums and showering petals on him.

Visibly happy, Vanzara danced the traditional Gujarati talwar natiya or sword dance which is performed on occasions such as wedding.

Vanzara, who is on bail, was recently allowed  by a special CBI court to return to his home state, Gujarat.

Vanzara was arrested in 2007 in connection with the alleged fake encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh and Tulsi Prajapati, but was given bail in 2014. The bail in the Ishrat Jahan case was granted only in February this year.

As one of the conditions of bail, Vanzara had been asked not to leave Mumbai.

A video probably shot in the NWFP province captures the unnerving action.

A man with his face covered sits on his haunches with an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

His friend dressed in an odd purple Shalwar Kameez walks to a distance carrying his  AK-47, takes aim and fires. The cigarette snaps and the crazy volunteer claps with pride.

The action is still not over. The sniper takes aim again and points his gun at another man, who is holding an apple on his head. William Tell fires again and the apple gets the bullet and explodes.

On Sunday night Mumbai Indians may have lost their inaugural IPL match, but a fit looking Anant Ambani, who was extensively tracked by TV cameras emerged as the showstopper.

It was no secret that Anant Ambani had lost significant weight. In the photos that emerged last month during his visit to Somnath temple, he was seen in his new fit avataar.

But the transformation was so drastic, he again managed to get everyone's attention.

As a child, he suffered from chronic asthma and the strong medication led to his weight gain.
A year and half ago he reportedly made  a vow that he would lose 108 kgs before  he reached 21.

The Times of India reports that Anant Ambani went about meeting his goal with exceptional determination following a healthy and safe routine, that stuck to the basics of diet and exercise.

Anant Ambani reportedly:

* Exercised for five-six hours every day.

His regimen was a mix of 21-km walk, yoga, weight training, functional training and high-intensity cardio exercises.

He stuck to a zero-sugar, low-carbohydrate diet along with adequate fat and protein.

Over a long period of 18 months, he stuck to his goal with a dogged determination. The result was there to see fro everyone on Sunday.

"We monitor social media reactions on commentators, and also take inputs from players,” the source added.
Three theories are floating on why BCCI fired Harsha Bhogle

April 10, 2016, NewsCrunch

BCCI has fired arguably India's best cricket commentator, Harsha Bhogle, just days before he was about to begin his assignment with IPL 9.

Harsha Bhogle's flight tickets for the IPL  season had been booked and he had also featured in the curtain raiser commercials for the tournament.

While Harsha Bhogle has not been told why he was terminated, a BCCI source told The Sunday Express that the decision was made after taking feedback from everyone. "We monitor social media reactions on commentators, and also take inputs from players,” the source added.

While there are no takers for these generalities, three theories are  floating on why Harsha Bhogle was fired.

One, a few players are said to have lobbied against him unhappy with his criticism of their game.  For anyone to survive in BCCI, which is notoriously sensitive skinned, the omerta code needs to be followed. Harsha Bhogle, has worked with BCCI for three decades and knows where the lines lie.

There is also nothing on record to show that he has been excessively critical of any player  or game strategy, recently.

Two, after the India-Bangladesh T20 World Cup match, Amitabh Bachchan complained that commentators were not India-centric enough. Harsha Bhogle responded saying he was being telecast for a worldwide audience and could  not be seen supporting any particular team.

Bachchan is being blamed by some for Harsha Bhogle's dismissal. But those in the know say BCCI never goes by the opinion of those outside the system unless they are in a position to coerce them.

Third and most plausible theory blames it on the spat Harsha Bhogle had with a Vidharbha Cricket Association official at a recent match in Nagpur.

At the Nagpur stadium, Harsha Bhogle wanted the door that connected the Hindi and English commentary boxes to be opened. As the door that runs through the President's box was shut, bilingual commentators had to run down and climb up several steps to change boxes.

Harsha Bhogle got into a confrontation with a Vidharbha cricket official on the issue, report The Sunday Express. And someone perhaps thought he was getting too big for his boots and decided to rest him for a season or two.

So, how did Vidharbha Cricket Association get so much clout to get a popular commentator fired.

The Nagpur-based BCCI president Shashank Manohar was the head of Vidharbha Cricket Association before he became the BCCI president. That possibly gives Vidharbha a disproportionate influence in BCCI as Harsha Bhogle found a little too late.

Another commentator, Gavaskar is also said to be on his way out. His high fees seems to be the stated issue, while inside talk say he and Shashank Manohar have never got along.

Modi left Delhi on Sunday before noon with a team of 15 burn specialists drawn from different hospitals of the capital  to personally supervise the relief operations.

A temple fire at Paravur in Kollam following an explosion has killed over 100 and injured at least double the number of people.

An ANI video shows  Modi dressed in crisp white kurta taking off to Kerala in an Indian Air Force plane.

He has reportedly waived off protocol that requires the Governor and the CM to be present tor receive him.

Though he is stated to land in Kollam directly,  he may have to fly to Thiruvananthapuram and take a helicopter from there to reach the accident spot.

Kanhaiya Kumar came out strongly against the demand of the right-wing groups to make chanting of Bharat Mata Ki Jai a test of nationalism in the country.

Speaking at an event called Pratirodh in  New Delhi organised by Muktdhara, he made fun of such demands.

He said he will change his name to "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" and also call his wife and children the same.

The entire family would be chanting "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" all the time, he pointed out. His children's schools  would be so impressed they would waive off the school fee.

Later speaking to India Today he said wiping off hunger from the mothers and children of India was more important than chanting slogans such as Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
