US presidential hopeful Donald Trump has been accused of being several things: a bigot, a racist, a polarizer of opinion and basically an “aggressive and obese” nutcase. But among all these attributes, Trump does have another earthy quality which endears him to his votebank: that of being a good sport.

Recently, on Jimmy Fallon’s hugely popular chat show, the host asked if Trump would allow him to ruffle the hair of the man who might be the “future president of the USA”. Much to everybody’s delight, Trump readily obliged. Watch on:

Modi’s to reshuffle Cabinet on Tuesday; Piyush, Pradhan may get pmomotion

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will expand his Cabinet at 11.00 am on Tuesday and major changes in portfolios are expected.

The last Cabinet expansion had taken place in November 2014.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis arrived in Delhi on Sunday and will meet party president to discuss the Cabinet expansion.

Last week, Fadnavis had said that the Maharashtra Cabinet expansion too would be held before the monsoon session and immediately after the expansion of the Union Cabinet.

According to reports, there is a likelihood of smaller parties getting a berth during the Cabinet expansion.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been holding consultations on the Cabinet reshuffle with senior party colleagues including BJP chief Amit Shah, Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

Sources state that two new faces from Uttar Pradesh are likely to be inducted. Union Power Minister Piyush Goyal and Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan are likely to get a promotion.

The Hindustan Times reported that among the probables are Apna Dal leader Anupriya Patel, firebrand Hindu leader and Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityananth and Etah MP Rajvir Singh, the son of Rajasthan governor Kalyan Singh.

Shahjahanpur MP Krishna Raj and Mohanlalganj MP Kaushal Kishore -- both scheduled caste leaders -- are also being considered for ministerial positions, sources said. The backward caste vote forms a substantial chunk of UP and is crucial for winning the polls.

Dibrugarh MP Rameshwar Teli and Mangaldoi MP Raman Deka are among the probables from Assam. One of them will fill up the vacancy created by Sarbananda Sonowal, who quit as sports minister to become Assam chief minister. Rajya Sabha member MJ Akbar is another probable for a ministerial job.

No changes are indicated at the North and South block and the top four portfolios -- Home, Finance, External Affairs and Defence -- are unlikely to be touched.

Currently 66 ministers in the council, including the prime minister; as per the Constitution, there can be 82.

Sources say PM Modi may induct new faces in his council.

Among the most keenly watched changes would be the PM's pick from politically crucial Uttar Pradesh where elections will be held early next year. Sources said at least two new faces from the state may join the Cabinet.

There are a few vacancies in the council that PM Modi is expected to fill. Sarbananda Sonowal became the chief minister of Assam and a new sports minister is on the cards. A berth is also vacant for ally Shiv Sena, reported NDTV.

In anticipation for the move, BJP president Amit Shah has called MPs, who are likely to be inducted to the Capital today. Calls were reportedly made out to -- Parsottambhai Rupala, Anupriya Patel, Ramdas Athawale, Ajay Tamta, Krishna Raj, SS Ahluwalia, Mahendra Nath Pandey, Arjun Ram Meghwal and P P Choudhary -- to reach Delhi.

French Open: Close shave for Murray, smooth sailing for Nadal

By: Princy James

Andy Murray has survived a close shave with 37-year-old qualifier Radek Stepanek, besting the latter in a nerve-racking five-setter during his first round match in Roland Garros, 3-6 3-6 6-0 6-3 7-5. The Scot was trailing by two sets when the match got suspended on Monday due to poor light.

Murray, who routed World No: 1 Novak Djokovic at Rome Masters final just a week back, is touted a favorite to win the French Open this year, given his recent wins over Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic at the Madrid and Rome Masters, respectively. However, his lacklustre performance in the opening round against Stepanek, a player ranked 128th, has cast a shadow on those hopes.

Addressing the media later, Murray said it wasn’t easy playing against Stepanek, who is known for his unorthodox approach.  

“The way the court's playing, it's extremely heavy.  It's very difficult to sort of push guys back. You know, players are hitting the ball I think relatively flat. It's not playing like, you know, a true clay court right now because of how heavy it is,” Murray said.

Meanwhile 9-time champion Rafael Nadal had a smooth sailing against Australian Sam Groth, defeating the latter 6-1 6-1 6-1. Nadal’s slow, but steady progress has been rewarding so far, and we can’t rule out the possibility of a La Decima from the King of Clay this year.  

However, when asked about the same, Nadal didn’t seem enthusiastic to have a say on the matter, and politely declined to answer. Nadal is seeded fourth this year, and is likely to face Fabio Fognini, who humbled him at the US Open last year, and Dominic Thiem, the youngster who shocked him at the Argentina Open this season, in what can be regarded a tough draw.

“It's obvious that was a good start for me.The most important thing that I had to do today, and I did well, was the return; I was playing with not many mistakes.I think it's obvious that the opponent plays better in faster surfaces, but in general I think I played a solid match,” Nadal said.

Three-time finalist Novak Djokovic too had an easy win against Yen-Hsun Lu of China, who is ranked 95th in the world. Djokovic won 6-4 6-1 6-1.

In the women’s section, Australian Open champion Angelique Kerber has slipped on the red dirt, suffering a shocking defeat against Kiki Bertens of Netherlands in three sets, 2-6 6-2 3-6.

DAY 2834 .. !!!!!

  The Grand, Kolkata            Jan 6/7,  2016             Wed/Thu  4:25 am        

OK … REWRITING THIS BLOG, BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON THE ONE I WROTE AT 4.30 IN THE MORNING WENT TO SLEEP BEFORE I DID ..

SORRY ..

But a sadness for Jasmine Jaywant .. she suddenly lost her Mother, yesterday .. silently .. in her sleep .. we all are with her in her moment of grief .. Jasmine, your pain is ours and we stand with you in this grief, to hold your hand, to walk beside you and to tell you that you are not alone .. Prayers ..!!

Damn .. Damn .. Damn .. !! No not because I missed the Blog or it disappeared, but because I injured my self last night at shoot .. just when I was all recovered from the chest infection, this happens ..

No nothing to worry .. I have injured my rib cage, it pains and so when I breathe it hurts .. am doing ice pack and pain killers .. spoken to my doctor .. should take 48 hours to heal he says .. else we do X Ray or MRI or whatever he decides ..

With each moment of happiness and joy the devils of negativity, incensed by our joys, move in with rapid speed and push us back into the brink of reality, which as we all know is what we come to this world for .. to suffer the pain of life and also to celebrate the excitement and joys of existence .. the balance .. that weighing scale .. that pendulum that swings between our time of life .. once this way and once that .. clamming and clinging and constructing our each breath for survival .. for experience .. for adventure .. for reformation .. for learning .. for divine acceptance .. for the power of the unknown .. for the discovery and the acceptance that there exists a superior force, which guides and constructs us each moment of our living ..

ENOUGH .. no more of this philosophical vein in the early morning discourses with loved ones .. bear it .. you were responsible for it .. now wait for it to cure and then ..

I feel insensitive at times to be conducting myself in a normal manner when death of near and dear ones perils our minds .. but what does one do .. what really does one do .. what can we say or how must we conduct ourselves .. these and other feelings plague me often ..often we are challenged by others .. they object to my stance of normalcy in the face of tragedy .. even though we have expressed our grief and sorrow and pain … but people will speak people will comment .. some are born to comment, some are born to speak, just because they love to hear their own voice .. their own pristine angelic attitude when the rest of us are busy living adverse existence .. are they aware of what they say or do .. do they ever do what they profess for others to do .. if they are so concerned what have they done .. what effort are they making for the betterment of any situation that they admonish us for .. I ask and I want to know !!! 

It angers .. it builds resentment .. BUT .. we must NOT and NEVER allow that to affect what we do …for , what we do, we know, how and when and where it resounds .. it echoes .. it reverberates .. 

It has a place and it has acceptance and it has gratitude .. they that receive it are in numbers hugely larger than those that express against ..

So .. I will not admonish or submit my displeasure at those that do such adversity.. but in example of what MunnaBhai did, greet them with a rose ..!!

I rush now to promote WAZIR via satellite into Tv channels from the Hotel, and seek pardon of absence and the apology for this late night early morning gaffe !

Love to all .. and please do not worry .. all will be well ..

Pathankot terror attack strikes at heart of PM Modi’s Pakistan peacemaking

Exactly a week after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dramatic Christmas day visit to Lahore, his high-stakes bid to make peace with Pakistan is facing trial by fire. Today’s pre-dawn attack on the Pathankot air base, raises questions about just how serious Islamabad is, about reining-in anti-India terrorism—the cornerstone of the peace process.

The attack, the second in Punjab in just months, is likely to lead to sharp attacks on Prime Minister’s outreach to Pakistan from the opposition. He will then have to choose between weathering the storm, or calling off the dialogue. Little detail is available about the attack so far, but Indian officials allege the assault was carried out by Pakistani cadre of the Jaish-e-Muhammad.

Should credible evidence of this claim emerge, New Delhi is likely to demand action against the perpetrators. The chances Islamabad will do so, though, are low. Today’s attack bear the marks of past Jaish operations: like, the December 2001 attack on Parliament House, where the attackers hijacked an official car, hoping it would be allowed into the complex.

Indian intelligence officers believe the group, entered India along the banks of the Beas, which cuts across the fencing on the Pakistan border, on January 31- just hours after Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the two countries “cannot live as enemies”.

Maulana Masood Azhar, the head of the Jaish-e-Muhammad, has close links to Pakistan’s intelligence services. Even though the organisation is proscribed by the United Nations, as well Australia, Canada, India, the United Arab Emirates, the UK, the US and the UN, Azhar operates openly, from a sprawling seminary in Bahawalpur. He has never been prosecuted for the hijacking of Indian Airlines flight 814 to Kandahar, carried out to ensure his release from jail. New Delhi has been hopeful that the terrorism-focussed dialogue between National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and his Pakistani counterpart, Lieutenant-General Nasir Janjua, has the army’s backing.

The attack, though, raises the question of whether Pakistan’s armed forces in fact support the dialogue process, or are seeking to subvert it. Pakistan’s Generals, the scholar C Christine Fair has pithily noted, see India as an ideological, not solely military, problem: “to acquiesce is tantamount not only to defeating the Pakistan Army, but also, fundamentally, to eroding the legitimacy of the Pakistani state”.

From an Indian optic, two steps would make clear Pakistan’s military has, indeed committed to a new strategic vision. The first would be legal action against the perpetrators of violence against India and the second, the dismantling of the military infrastructure of terrorist groups like the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Muhammad.

There’s some evidence that Pakistan has, indeed acted prodded along by the United States. Ever since 2003, the violence in Kashmir has declined steadily-and, notwithstanding commentary in the media, official statistics demonstrate it stayed in line with the low levels seen in recent years through 2015.

Even violence levels, which showed an uptick through 2013 and 2014, showed a marginal decline. Moreover, since 26/11, there hasn’t been a single major terrorist attack outside Jammu and Kashmir that has traced back to Pakistan and interrogations of arrested terrorists has shown the ISI is keeping a tight leash on some jihadist groups acting against India.

There is evidence to just the contrary, too, though: the Lashkar’s attack in Gurdaspur could, for example, have claimed hundreds of lives had landmines been planted on a railway line.

In discussions with Indian interlocutors, Pakistan has said it hopes, in the long term, to defang organisations like the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Muhammad by bringing them into political life. Prime Minister Modi has decided to take the chance on this post-dated cheque—and now has to decide if it’s actually worth more than the paper it is written on.

5 Survival Tips That Could Save Your Life

INTRO: Life can be pretty unpredictable at best and life-threatening at the worst of times. You never know what it’s going to throw at you so it’s best to be prepared for the worst – you never know when some skill you acquired for a lark, or something that you read in a book when you were bored – might come in handy in a serious situation.

Listed below are five, potentially life-saving tips that you just might be glad you read through someday…

How To Escape From Quicksand…

Quicksand is formed when sand becomes so saturated with water that it’s unable to support weight, which is what makes it deadly. But an encounter with quicksand doesn’t have to spell certain doom. If you remain calm, it’s nearly impossible to be sucked under since you body is less dense than the quicksand. To escape, slowly pull each leg to the surface. Once you’re horizontal, it will be a lot easier to slowly wriggle your way to solid ground.

How To Find Water In The Desert… 

It’s not impossible to find this life-saving liquid even in arid, harsh desert conditions if you know where to look.  The presence of green vegetation like cottonwood, willow, ash, sycamore trees and even damp sand usually indicates the close presence of water beneath the sand or a nearby spring. North-facing basins and rock crevices are also known to collect rainwater.

How To Survive A Bear Attack…

Wild bears can become aggressive when searching for food, so it’s always a good idea to keep your feet at least 12 feet off the ground at a safe distance from your tent when out camping. If a bear charges, keep a pepper spray handy, else play dead by lying on your tummy with your hands protecting your head and neck.

What To Do In Case Of A Fire…

If your clothes catch fire, stop what you are doing, lie down immediately with your hands protecting your face, and roll across the floor. Ideally, wrap yourself in any textile fabric (e.g. carpet, blanket, coat, curtain, etc.) when rolling on the floor. However, do not make the mistake of wasting time by searching for them if they are not close at hand. 

Learn Basic First Aid Techniques…

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR, the Heimlich maneuver that involves rapid thrusts to the abdominal region, covering a wound, securing a broken bone are some of the basic medical skills that are always good to have especially in an emergency situation.
