NT Bureau
Chennai, Jan 30:
Former Union Environment Minister
and senior Congress leader Jayanthi
Natarajan today formally announced
her resignation from the party, alleging that Congress vice-president
Rahul Gandhi ruined her reputation.
She revealed the expected decision
at a crowded press meet here, on
a day when her letter to Congress
president Sonia Gandhi, in which she
expressed her ‘agony’ in detail, was
published in the media.
Echoing the contents of the letter,
she said, ‘This is an extremely painful
moment and heart wrenching time for
me. My family has been associated
with Congress for a long time. I am
fourth generation Congress worker.’
Stating that she came from a family
that had Congress blood ﬂowing in
the veins, she said, ‘it is extremely
anguishing that I have to rethink my
association with Congress.
‘The Congress is no longer the Congress that I joined. I had a 30,year old
association with the party.’
Joy for Paes, not
so much for Sania
Melbourne, Jan 30 (PTI):
Leander Paes kept himself in line for
his 15th Grand Slam title by reaching
the Australian Open mixed doubles
final with Martina Hingis as they
defeated Su-Wei Hsieh and Pablo
Cuevas in straight sets, here today.
Expectations of seeing another
Indian in the ﬁnal of the same event,
went up in smoke as the top-seeded

Perth, Jan 30 (PTI):
India’s uninspiring batting show continued as they threw away a decent start
to be all out for a meagre 200 against
England in a virtual semiﬁnal clash of the
cricket tri-series, here today.
Ajinkya Rahane (73) was the topscorer of the innings but no other
batsman crossed the 40-run mark as
England’s pace battery initiated a batting collapse after India were placed
comfortably at 83 for one. Steve Finn
(3 for 36) took three wickets while
Chris Woakes (2 for 47), Stuart Broad
(2 for 56) and spinner Moeen Ali (2
for 35) claimed two scalps each after
inviting India to bat.
Out-of-form Shikhar Dhawan (38)
and Rahane got off to a slow start
but they batted to a plan, rotating
the strike to good effect and slowly
the runs started coming, albeit in a
tickle as the ﬁrst 10 overs yielded
only 34 runs.
Thereafter Rahane looked in good
touch, as the openers brought up their
50-run stand in the 14th over. Even

comply with the wishes of the Congress president.’
Speciﬁc requests
In her letter, Jayanthi stated that
‘specific requests’ were issued in
projects like Vedanta’s Rs 30,000
crore investment, Adani projects, GVK
power project regarding the Dhari
Devi temple in Himachal Pradesh,
the Lavasa project in Maharashtra,
the Nirma cement plant in Gujarat.
Accusations
Jayanthi said she received ‘speciﬁc requests’ from Rahul on environmental clearances. Further, she
stated that Rahul’s decisions were
dumped on her and she has proof
to back her claims.
She has stated that she was asked
to resign (as she was needed by the
party) but the party work was never
given to her.
She noted that Rahul’s office
planted negative stories about her.
Centre reacts
Even as Jayanthi Natarajan made
a series of serious allegations
against the Congress, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today
said the Environment Ministry
should look into clearances granted
during UPA regime.

NT Bureau
Chennai, Jan 30:
Former Union Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan, who announced quitting the Congress
today, has penned an emotional
letter to Congress president Sonia
Gandhi, taking potshots at party
vice-president Rahul Gandhi.
She blamed Rahul for her removal
as Environment Minister in 2013,
when she rejected big ticket projects
as they were against norms.
Behind the closed door
She wrote,’When I entered he
(Manmohan Singh) stood up from
his chair, looking tense and grim,
and uttered these exact words. He
said ‘Jayanthi, I have been told by
the Congress president, that your
services are required for party work.’
I was puzzled, and I said, ‘Yes sir.
So what should I do?’ He replied,
‘She wants you to resign.’
I was shocked and said, ‘Resign
Sir? But when?’ He replied ‘Today.’
I once again asked him if this
was what the Congress president
wished. He answered in the afﬁrmative. Unsuspecting, and trusting you
totally, I did not utter a single word,
but smiled at him and said I would
And after...
ormer Union Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan today quit the Congress after making a series
of charges against Rahul Gandhi and said ‘it was an
extremely painful day. I am a fourth generation congress
worker. I come from a family which has congress blood.’
Terming Jayanthi Natarajan’s charge of specific
requests on green clearances as a ‘serious issue’,
Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar today said he
would review the ﬁles where allegations of extraneous
inﬂuence have been mentioned.
‘The revelations made by Jayanthi Natarajan in her
letter to Sonia Gandhi, which have become public today,
are a matter of great concern and is a serious issue,’
he said in Delhi. He said as Environment Minister, it is
his duty to review those speciﬁc ﬁles where extraneous
inﬂuence has been alleged as per the letter.
Jayanthi Natarajan had written a letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi alleging that she had received speciﬁc
requests from Rahul Gandhi on environmental clearances
and consequently had rejected big ticket projects.
Meanwhile in the world of sports, there were mixed
fortunes for India. While veteran tennis star Leander
Paes made yet another grand slam ﬁnal, reaching the
mixed doubles summit clash at the Australian Open
along with Martina Hingis, the cricket team folded for
200 in their must-win cricket tri-series match against
England at Perth.
Jayanthi Natarajan at a
press meet in Chennai today
She however said: I have been
spokesperson for 10 years. I am
extremely grateful to my party for
giving me all the opportunities. It is
with extreme gratitude that I say that I
have served without a single blemish.
Recalling her tenure as Environment Minister, Jayanthi said she
ensured that every single step she
took was according to the law.
‘I did my duty with due diligence. I
‘A day after I was
asked to resign (by the
then Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh
and Sonia), Rahul
told a FICCI meet that

stalling projects)’
had projects investigated. Many of
my colleagues in cabinet protested
strongly. Very often I had to face
anger and wrath because economic
progress has been stopped. But I
have to tell them that environment
cannot be compromised.’ She added: ‘I followed the party line. Madam
(Sonia) Gandhi wrote to me several
times on forest right. Rahul Gandhi
was interested in tribal rights. All
these made me stop the Vedanta
project.
She said she served the country
and was good Environment Minister
following party line despite objection
from cabinet colleagues.
Stating that she had no issues
with the State party, Jayanthi said,
‘I was sidelined in national level.
‘Rahul Gandhi ruined my reputation. A day after I was asked to
resign (by the then Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh and Sonia), he
told a FICCI meet that environmental bottlenecks would be cleared
soon. But I only did what his ofﬁce
asked me to (in stalling projects),’
she said.
Jayanthi also said she was forced
by the Congress leadership to launch
an attack on (the then) Prime Minister
(candidate) Narendra Modi in the
‘snoopgate’ issue.
She said she has resigned from the
primary membership of the party and
from the Congress trust at the State
level. She also said she had no plans
to join any other party.

NT Bureau
Chennai, Jan 30:
Ghar Vapsi, the re-conversion ceremony to bring back Christian and
Muslim converts back into the Hinduism fold, took place in Chennai today.
Amid chanting of Sri Rama Jaya
Rama...Jaya Jaya Rama, ten christians, including ﬁve women, from the
Northern suburb of Minjur returned
back to their original religion -- Hindu
-- at a ceremony held at Kanchi Kamakota Peetam Sankara Mutt at West
Mambalam area in the city today.
The re-conversion ceremony was
organised by the Hindu Makkal Katchi
(HMK) in the presence of its State
general secretary Rama Ravikumar.
He formally inducted them into Hinduism by offering worship to Goddess
Kamatchi Amman and by applying the
scared ‘Sandal paste’ and ‘Kum kum’
on their forehead.
Ravikumar welcomed them back
into Hinduism saying ‘there is no
untouchability in Hinduism and that

Chennai, Jan 30:
Dirty walls are dime a dozen in the
city and many serve as open urinals
and the best efforts of the authorities
haven’t brought about the desired
results. It is probably with an aim to
give the walls and the metropolis a
brighter look.
Meanwhile, a sign at Egmore
station says, ‘Artwork is being carried out on the walls of escalator
at platform 3&4. Kindly bear the
inconvenience.’ Maybe it (the inconvenience) is a temporary one
but commuters may not mind after
all as the premises may sport a
bright look subsequently.
This is because Goethe Institut
has embarked on an ambitious
project to paint the town red and
also provide an opportunity for artists from abroad and the city. They
are doing it as a part of street art

Chennai, Jan 30:
Students of Hindustan International
School (HIS) celebrated ‘Family Day’
on the occasion of Republic Day at
school campus, Guindy recently.
According to a press release, the
event was organised in keeping with
the theme - ‘Being United as One’,
where students spent time with parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts.
The fun ﬁlled event saw children
and their families indulged in various
games and activities.
The event was graced by Col Thomas,
Deputy Director, HIS CBSE, Karapakkam, Maalathi, advisor, Ravindran,
registrar and Rohini Devi.
All winning teams and individuals
were awarded with prizes.
HIS also announced the admissions
for the academic year 2015 - 2016.
Admissions are open from LKG to
standard VII at the HIS, Guindy. This
year the group will also be inaugurating
the HIS CBSE school at its campus at
Karapakkam. Admissions are open
from KG to Std VI, the release said.
Goethe Institut’s plan
is to create wall murals

Chennai Corporation, Southern
Railway and other organisations.
The festival, which began 20 January is on till 7 February.
News Today caught up with Nijanthan, a student at Goethe Institut,
who is assisting the artists involved
in painting the escalator walls at
Egmore station. ‘Leave these walls
blank, no one would even care for
them. But fill them with artwork,
everyone would pay some attention.
For art on the wall breathes out life,
this can leave a lasting impression
on our minds’.

Right move
The decision not to challenge the Bombay High Court ruling in
the Vodafone case is both bold and correct. Bold, because partisan
critics could still accuse the government of a sell-out to foreign
companies; correct, because it would reassure foreign investors
keen to do business here that there is transparency and predictability
in our tax regime. Under the UPA, erratic and whimsical taxation
decisions marred the investment climate. No one did more damage
in this regard than Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, who resorted
to retrospective amendments to undo the verdict of higher courts.
This caused a fright in the corporate boardrooms across the globe,
consequently slowing down the ﬂow of funds into the country.
In the latest decision, the Cabinet on Wednesday decided not to
challenge the Bombay High Court order of 10 October, ruling in
favour of Vodafone India Services Pvt. Ltd. The company had
issued shares to its parent in 2009-10 and 2010-11 at a premium of
Rs 8,509 per share, receiving a consideration of Rs 246.30 crore
from the parent company. The relevant tax authorities, however,
accused Vodafone India of under-pricing the shares. Tacking on an
additional Rs. 1,397 crore to the company’s income, it raised a tax
demand of Rs. 3,200 crore in the transfer pricing case. Vodafone
challenged the demand in the high court. The court order setting
aside the additional tax demand last October and its endorsement
by the Cabinet on Wednesday ought to help clear up the confusion
on the prevailing tax regime. The uncertainty, nay, the opacity of
the UPA years, can now become a thing of the past.
As Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said after the Cabinet
meeting, a transparent and fair tax regime would prevail, which is
not vulnerable to retrospective and quirky decisions. In fact, the
Cabinet decision went further, deciding to accept orders of courts,
Income Tax Appellate Tribunal and Dispute Resolution Panel in case
of other taxpayers where similar transfer policy adjustments have
been made and the courts, ITAT or DRP have decided in favour of
the taxpayer.
Investors, both Indian and foreign, could not have asked for more
transparency. The ﬁrmness with which the Cabinet undertook to
privilege clarity and predictably in such tax matters is commendable.
Vitally, Modi’s Make-in-India push for its success would require a
stable, fair and predictable tax regime, something which had become
scarce in the previous regime and which the NDA Government is
keen to restore, in order to put the country back on the high growth
trajectory.
Frivolous litigation caused by quirky decisions of the UPA too
would be unnecessary, once clear-cut taxation policies are in place.
Disputes over transfer pricing had involved a number of foreign
ﬁrms. All those stand to get relief from the Cabinet’s bold decision.

More trouble for Uber
Rape survivor ﬁles lawsuit in US court against company
NEW YORK:
A 25-year-old Indian woman, raped
by an Uber driver in New Delhi last
month, has ﬁled a lawsuit against the
taxi service company in a US court
arguing that it does not adequately
screen its drivers and its ‘negligence
and fraud’ lead to her being sexually
assaulted and humiliated.
The woman has not been named in
the 36-page lawsuit ﬁled in the California federal court against the San
Francisco- based ﬁrm and has been
identiﬁed only as ‘Jane Doe’.
She is seeking an unspecified
amount of damages that should be
determined at a jury trial and compensation for the ‘physical and monetary’
harm and for harm to her ‘professional
and personal reputations’ the assault
caused her.
She is also seeking a permanent
injunction directing that Uber take
all affirmative steps necessary to
remedy the effects of the unlawful
conduct alleged in the lawsuit and
to ‘prevent repeated occurrences in
the future.’
Following the ﬁling of the lawsuit,
the victim’s lawyer, prominent New
York Attorney Douglas Wigdor said
Uber’s focus on its ‘bottom line over
the safety of its passengers has resulted in what can only be described
as modern day electronic hitchhiking.’
Bluetooth
handset that takes
& record calls
Bluewire is a Bluetooth headset
with a really intelligent party trick. It
can record the audio from each side
of a phone name and can even seize
the sound from a Skype or FaceTime
chat too.
As such, it’s the one Bluetooth
headset available on the market with
such capabilities. Nevertheless, with
over half of the funding goal already
pledged inside its ﬁrst 24 hours on the
location, there’s an excellent probability that will probably be making
an enormous distinction to journalists’
legal professionals’ and argumentative couples’ lives very quickly.
The headset data audio to its inner 16GB SD card - which can be
transferred to a pc by way of USB or
copied routinely to a smartphone by
way of the supporting app - and can
even be used as a dictaphone for
capturing voice memos of as much
as 5 minutes in size on the ﬂy.
KISSING GOODBYE
The case seeks to ‘slam the brakes’ on
Uber’s reckless worldwide expansion
at the ‘unfortunate expense of basic
customer safety’
‘...We intend to hold Uber responsible for the signiﬁcant physical and
emotional harm it has caused to our
client, while simultaneously seeking
a court order mandating that Uber
initiate certain safety precautions that
they appear unwilling to do voluntarily,’ he said.
Wigdor hoped that the lawsuit would
bring about positive change that will
ultimately protect people worldwide
who are unaware of the ‘serious risks
of entering into an Uber car.’
Jeanne Christensen, a partner
at the Wigdor law firm, said Uber
executives’ decisions to cut costs
at the expense of customer safety
forced the young woman to ‘pay the
ultimate cost.’
‘Her brutal rape by an Uber driver
who was a known repeat sexual
predator was a result of a global
Uber policy that has far-reaching
consequences. We intend to hold
Uber accountable for violence that
could easily have been avoided had
even a minimal background check
been conducted,’ Christensen said.
Wigdor added that the lawsuit
seeks to ‘slam the brakes’ on Uber’s
reckless worldwide expansion at the
‘unfortunate expense of basic customer safety.’
It demanded that Uber must implement necessary safety measures
including opening dedicated 24/7
customer support centres in every city
that it operates in, requiring all its drivers to install GPS tracking systems
and tamper-proof video cameras and
providing female drivers.
It said Uber’s ‘negligence, fraud

The Secretary of State was not at

and other unlawful actions’ caused
the woman’s sexual assault, which
has ‘humiliated, degraded, violated
and robbed’ her of her dignity.
Uber must also perform thorough
character checks on prospective
drivers that go beyond mere criminal
background checks to ensure that
the victim’s ‘harrowing ordeal is
never repeated’. The lawsuit alleges
that Uber’s claims of customer safety being its top priority have proven
to be ‘false and hollow’ as investigations into its safety measures reveal
that the company routinely fails to
have systems in place to adequately
monitor and trace Uber trips.
Uber does not adequately screen its
drivers, regularly employing drivers
with known criminal histories, ‘risking
the safety of its customers,’ it added.
Seeking declaratory and injunctive
relief, Wigdor said in the lawsuit that
Uber should be held accountable
‘so that no person will ever have to
undergo the traumatic and harrowing,
life-changing ordeal’ that his client
had to endure. The lawsuit added that
had Uber done a basic background
check on its driver Shiv Kumar Yadav,
it would have found that Yadav had
provided fraudulent documents and
had a ‘known propensity’ for ‘violent
and deviant conduct, including numerous arrests for rape and assault.’

Litchi fruit suspected
in mystery illness
MIAMI;
A mysterious and sometimes fatal
brain disease that has afﬂicted children in northeastern India for years
could be linked to a toxic substance
in litchi fruits, US researchers said.
Investigators say more
research is needed to
uncover the cause of the
illness, which leads to seizures, altered mental state
and death in more than
a third of cases. In the
meantime, doctors who encounter
sick children should takes steps
to rapidly correct low blood sugar,
which can make the disease more
likely to be fatal, said the report by
the US Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
The outbreaks have coincided with
the month-long litchi harvesting season in and around the Muzaffarpur
district of Bihar state since 1995, said
the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality
Weekly Report.
In 2013, some 133 children were
admitted to local hospitals with seizures and neurological symptoms.
Most were aged one to ﬁve, and
nearly half (44 percent) of them
died. Those who died were
more than twice as likely
as other patients to have
been admitted to the
hospital with low blood
sugar, known as hypoglycemia.
Tests on the spinal ﬂuid of patients
came back negative for infectious
agents like Japanese encephalitis virus, West Nile virus and other known
pathogens in the area.

Rich tribute
Sir,
One feels sad to know that the legendary cartoonist R K Laxman is no
more. He embodied the hopes, aspirations and troubles of Indians for over
half a century. He always cared for the plight of common man through his
immortal cartoons.
Though the common man character in the cartoons was always silent,
the intended message was very loud and clear. R K Laxman will always
be remembered for his early morning dose of laughter. His cartoons would
bring a smile even on the faces of people who didn’t know to read or were
in a hurry.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a cartoon is worth a thousand
pictures. The nation will deﬁnitely miss him. May his soul rest in peace.

Raul Castro to US:
Return Gitmo, end embargo
C
uban President Raul Castro
demanded on Wednesday
that the United States return the
US base at Guantanamo Bay, lift
the half-century trade embargo on
Cuba and compensate his country
for damages before the two nations
re-establish normal relations.
Castro told a summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States that Cuba and the US
are working toward full diplomatic
relations but ‘if these problems aren’t
resolved, this diplomatic rapprochement wouldn’t make any sense.’
No way, the White House said
Thursday. The president’s spokesman afﬁrmed that Obama ‘does believe that the prison at Guantanamo
Bay should be closed down.
‘But the naval base is not something we’re interested in closing,’
he clariﬁed.
Castro and US President Barack
Obama announced on 17 December that they would move toward
renewing full diplomatic relations by
reopening embassies in each other’s
countries.
The two governments held negotiations in Havana last week to
discuss both the reopening of the
embassies and the broader agenda
of re-establishing normal relations.
Obama has loosened the trade
embargo with a range of measures
designed to increase economic ties
with Cuba and increase the number
of Cubans who don’t depend on the
communist state for their livelihoods.

The Cuban President had previously wel comed Obama’s normalisation

country for damages before the two nations reestablish normal ties.
Both leaders announced 17 December they would move toward renewing full diplomatic relations by reopening embassies in each other’s

Bay even after it shuts down the prison there.
and centrally planned economy.
Cuba has said it welcomes the
measures but has no intention of
changing its system. Without establishing speciﬁc conditions, Castro’s
government has increasingly linked
the negotiations with the U.S. to a
set of longstanding demands that
include an end to U.S. support
for Cuban dissidents and Cuba’s
removal from the U.S. list of state
sponsors of terrorism.
On Wednesday, Castro emphasized an even broader list of Cuban
demands, saying that while diplomatic ties may be re-established,
normal relations with the U.S.
depend on a series of concessions
that appear highly unlikely in the
near future.
The US established the military
base in 1903, and the current
Cuban government has been demanding the land’s return since the
1959 revolution that brought it to
power. Cuba also wants the US to
pay hundreds of millions of dollars
in damages for losses caused by
the embargo.

The manufacturing sector in terms
of net cross border mergers and

decrease for India from $4,604 million
to $4,172 million, the report said.
FDI ﬂows to India increased by 26

report said.
This ﬁgure is one of the highest in
recent years, though in 2008 FDI
peaked in India with $47 billion investment followed by $35.6 billion in 2009.
Director of Investment and Enterprise, at UNCTAD, James Zhan
said, ‘India is still a bright spot for
FDI despite a global decline. It is at
a signiﬁcant historical high though
not at the highest level of investment’.
‘If policy trends encourage liberalisation then we can expect more
FDI in China despite a slowdown
in economic growth’, said Zhan
referring to new draft for full foreign
investment law that was proposed
last week in Beijing.
The top five FDI hosts in 2014
were China ($128 billion), followed
by Hong Kong $111 billion), the US
($86billion), Singapore ($81 billion)
and Brazil ($62 billion).
‘In 2014 global FDI inﬂows declined
by eight per cent to an estimated
$1.26 trillion due to fragility of the
global economy, policy uncertainty
and geo-political risks’, the report
said.

missed chance
Melbourne, Jan 30:
Tomas Berdych blamed
‘one bad set’ for his defeat by Andy Murray at the
Australian Open on Thursday when his dreams of
a maiden grand slam title
were again crushed at the
semi-ﬁnal stage.
The Czech seventh seed
played some brilliant tennis
to edge Murray in a marathon ﬁrst set but was on the
back foot thereafter to lose
6-7 (6), 6-0, 6-3, 7-5 on a
chilly night at Rod Laver Arena.
‘I’m really not happy and not really in a good mood,’ a downcast
Berdych told reporters.
‘I’m very disappointed to lose this

need to come back stronger.

that’s it. I was just trying to get my

Aamir’s return
Karachi, Jan 30 (PTI):
Banned pace bowler Muhammad Aamir has found some support in his comeback to cricket
announced by the International
Cricket Council (ICC) yesterday.
At a time when a strong lobby,
which includes former Pakistan captain Rameez Raja, is
not in favour of allowing Aamir
back into cricket, the 22-year
old youngster has found
much needed support in
some quarters.
Pakistan legend Wasim
Akram said that he was
happy to hear about Aamir being
allowed to play domestic cricket.
‘He made a mistake at a very
young age and I think he has learnt
from it. It would not be fair to now
stop him from making a come-

channel.
‘I think he deserves another

‘Even our religion allows and

to forgive Aamir for his mistakes and support him now,’
the former pacer said.

playing domestic cricket was the right of Aamir

the ICC.

Much has been made of coach

Berdych credited Vallverdu for helping him devise a

Sydney, Jan 30:
Asia’s football chief has admitted
there is groundswell of opinion in the
west of the continent that Australia’s
membership of the confederation has
not worked out and they should be
kicked out.
Australia will play South Korea for
the Asian Cup on Saturday after what
is widely regarded as a successful
hosting of the tournament, the second
time they have reached the ﬁnal in
three attempts since they switched
from Oceania in 2006.
Asian Football Confederation (AFC)
president Salman Bin Ibrahim AlKhalifa said in an interview with Dubai
newspaper Al-Ittihad that there was
a desire by Gulf Arab federations to
review Australia’s membership.
‘Yes, it is true, there are indications
that conﬁrm that there is a desire
among West Asian federations to
remove Australia from the AFC,’ he
told the paper on Wednesday.
‘But I also know that the Arabs
are not the only ones that are not
convinced with the value of Australia
staying within the Asian football
family.’
Critics of Australia’s move to Asia,
which they undertook to seeking more
competitive football and an easier
route to the World Cup ﬁnals, say the
beneﬁts have been all one way.
The Socceroos have reached the
last two World Cup finals through
Asian qualifying, while the Arabian
Gulf, which had one team in soccer’s
showpiece event from 1990 to 2006,
was not represented in South Africa
or Brazil.
Qatar host the World Cup in 2022
and if they cannot qualify for Russia
in 2018 would become the ﬁrst host
nation since the earliest days of the
tournament never to have competed
in a ﬁnals before welcoming it to their
own shores.
Asia has four qualifying spots for
the World Cup with a ﬁfth country
getting a shot at the ﬁnals through an
intercontinental playoff.
Bahraini Al-Khalifa, who took over
the AFC in 2013, said no mechanism
had been put in place to review
Australia’s membership when it was
agreed in 2005.
‘The decision to include Australia
was taken many years ago, before I
became head of the AFC and at the
time,’ he added.
‘The decision by the general
assembly did not stipulate that this
was an experiment that would be
evaluated to see whether Australia
would continue with the AFC.

But despite resuming their partnership with Japanese engine manufacturer Honda, the new car retains
the predominantly grey livery synonymous with the team’s 20-year
partnership with Mercedes.
‘Although our renewed alliance
began again many months ago,
the launch of the McLaren-Honda
MP4-30 marks the start of a lengthy
journey,’ said chief executive Ron
Dennis in a statement.
‘We’ve come a long way already
and, although there’s a lot of work to
do before we can expect to repeat the
level of success we enjoyed together
25 or so years ago, it’s already clear
that there’s enormous synergy and
potential in our partnership.

Jyothika ready
for the act
Two to tango
Suryah upbeat
about Isai
S J Suryah is all thrilled for his Isai is
hitting the screens today. The movie
is directed and enacted by him. He
has also scored music for the movie.
Sathyaraj and newcomer Savithri play
prominent roles in the movie.
Says Suryah, ‘Rahman asked me
once why I didn’t try composing. He
said I had a good sense of music. I
told him not to joke and even asked
him to tell me straight if he didn’t have
the dates to spare.’
On the delay in completion, Suryah,
says, ‘I’ve ﬁnished it fast actually! I
knew this movie would be heavy and
would take three-and-a-half years to
complete. I didn’t realise that to play
a music director, I would have to become a music director from scratch’.

(Touring Talkies)
A
ctor-filmmaker-producer S A
Chandrasekhar seems to have
followed the footsteps of legendary
director K Balachander. His directorial venture Touring Talkies has two
stories in one ﬁlm seemingly inspired
by KB’s Oru Veedu Iru Vaasal..
Touring Talkies has two stories and
SAC plays the hero in one of them. In
the post-interval story, Sunulakshmi
is the heroine. Ilayaraja has scored
the music. The movie(s) has different
storyline and is set in different milieu.
The first story narrates the love
story of 75-year-old Antony (S A Cha-
drasekhar), who comes to Shimla in
search of his love Hema Malini (Papri
Ghosh) whom he missed in life. His
journey is told in a very light manner
and the best thing is that SAC has
played his age.
The second story is set in a remote
village where a powerful family of
upper caste men (Aadukalam Jayabalan, Robo Shankar and Sevvalai),
let loose a reign of terror. He has
portrayed a revolutionary theme
with child molestation as the core
issue in a hard hitting manner. New
face Sunulakshmi shines and Robo
Dhanush
impresses Kajal
Ma Ka Pa Anand to
romance Aishwarya
K
ajal Aggarwal, who is
working with Dhanush
for the first time in Maari,
says he is a very talented
actor.
Heaping praises on the National Award winning artiste,
she says, ‘He is certainly
one of the best actors I have
worked with till date.’
Maari is directed by Balaji
Mohan of Kadhalil Sodhapuvadhu Yeppadi and Vaayai
Moodi Pesavum fame. It is
produced by Sarathkumar.

Ma Ka Pa Anand and Aishwarya Rajesh will
share the screen space in a ﬁlm titled Deepavali
Thupakki, which is said to be a comical one.
According to sources, the radio jockey turned
actor, who became popular with Vanavarayan
Vallavarayan, has bagged an interesting role in
Deepavali Thupakki. Aishwarya has been given
an equally interesting role. Shooting for the ﬁlm will
take place in and around Chennai, add sources.

Shankar as the baddie is good.
SAC has done his act well. The
first story seemingly an inspiration ﬁlms like Titanic and Cheran’s
Pokkisham,has some entertaining
moments. But the second story is
more serious and carries a strong
theme.
Among the highlights of the film
are its technical brilliance, music
by Ilayaraja and editing by Sreekar
Prasad. Touring Talkies has some
moments that keeps the audience
interested.
