CMYK SMS vaults over basic frontier TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Consumers will soon be able to send and receive SMS on their basic (or fixed line) phones. In order to expand the fast-growing craze for SMS in the country — currently restricted to cellular handsets — Bharti Teletech on Tuesday launched an SMS-enabled fixed line phone. As things stand, only 15 million cellphone users can send or receive SMS. There are 40 million basic phone subscribers in India who can’t do so. To be sure, in Delhi there is MTNL’s IVR (interactive voice re- sponse), which can be used for send- ing — but not receiving — SMS to mobile phones. MTNL’s sutem al- lows only voice messages between two fixed line phones. Teletech phones, on the other hand, will have display screens, much like CLI (calling line identifi- cation) instruments, and SMS serv- ice will be across services and tech- nologies, be it cellular or WLL-M. Initially, the phones will be of- fered to service providers like Bhar- ti’s Touchtel and within a year they will be sold in the retail market as well. Teletech VC and MD Rakesh Bharti Mittal said the company was talking to other service providers like BSNL, MTNL and Tata Teleser- vices to sell the new SMS phones. For now only mobile phones users have the SMS facility in India. But basic phone operators in about 12 countries — like Austria, Belgium, France and Germany — offer SMS. According to Mittal, SMS accounted for 5 to 22 per cent of the revenues of several basic phone companies in Europe and Asia. Service providers will have to in- vest about $200,000 — to begin with — in setting up SMS infrastructure. The investments could go up to $4 million. Mittal said basic service op- erators were looking for new ‘rev- enue streams’ and SMS, which has been immensely popular with mo- bile users, offered that opportunity. The phones are being made in China to begin with, because of low component costs, until volumes pick up in India. Mittal said Teletech, which sells phones under Beetel brand, is looking at selling these phones outside the country — par- ticularly in Africa and Asia and has already finalised a deal with a basic service provider in Sri Lanka.

The attacks came less than eight hours after two grenade blasts in Katra killed seven people and injured 13 others on Monday night. Lt-Gen Prasad, Nagrota-based 16 Corps commander Lt-Gen T P S Brar, major-gen- erals T K Sapru and D K Khanna, and Brig V K Govil of the EME were visiting the in- cident site when the terrorist hiding inside the camp blew himself up near them, around six hours after the morning terror attack in which seven jawans and two ter- rorists were killed. Brig Govil was grievously injured in the explosion and succumbed soon after. Lt-Gen Prasad, Lt-Gen Brar and the other officer sustained shrapnel injuries and were shifted to the Army hospital in Srina- gar. Without naming the injured officers, the defence ministry said they received ‘‘superficial injuries’’. Lt-Gen Prasad, a Maratha Light Infantry officer, had taken charge of the crucial Ud- hampur-based Northern Command on June 1. The Northern Command, is responsible for the volatile Line of Control and counter- insurgency operations in the hinterland. A lesser-known militant outfit, Al-Shahu- da Brigade, believed to be a shadow organi- sation of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed re- sponsibility for the attack. The attack on the camp was carried out to protest against visiting Pakistani opposi- tion leader Fazlur Rahman’s remarks that the Line of Control should be converted into a permanent border and that the Kash- mir issue should be resolved within the framework of the Simla agreement, a re- lease faxed to a news agency said. In New Delhi, Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani said the militant attacks were aimed at disrupting normalcy and the peace initiative with Pakistan.

On Sunday night, waterstarted gushing into thecolony which houses over2000 families when villagersfrom the nearby Bakarwalvillage broke the stormdrains where water had col-lected during the recentrains.
According to S K Ghatw-al, additional commissioner,slum and JJ wing, villagerswere scared that their stand-ing crops would get floodedonce the storm drains wouldbe full. ‘‘They opened up thedrain so that the water wentstraight at the slum colony,flooding the area,’’ he said.
Although the MCD is try-ing to play down the dam-age, nearly 1,500 familieshave been rendered home-less. According to a residentof the area, repeated callsfor help to the MCD wentunanswered on Sundaynight. ‘‘It was only on Mon-day morning when a few ofus took a tractor and a tem-po to Raja Garden to de-mand help, that the MCD of-ficials came,’’ he said.
A MCD primary school in
the area has been complete-ly submerged in the deluge.Wall collapses and roofs cav-ing in were a common sight.
While not a single politi-cal leader has visited the
area so far, the MCD too hasbeen ineffective in dealingwith the problem.
Only 6 pumps have beeninstalled to pump out thewater, and 14 tents put up to
accommodate the 1500 fami-lies.
‘‘All our possessions areunder water, not a singlething remains,’’lamented aresident.

New Delhi: It might havethe swankiest cars and themost number of telephoneconnections and the citi-zens might be hooked on tosappy soaps, but the qualityof life in Delhi is still noparty.
The capital lags behind inbasic necessities like waterand electricity with statesor union territories likePunjab, Goa and Laksh-wadeep beating it to thewinning post. Delhi ranksfourth when it comes toavailability of water, fifthwhen it comes to depend-ence on taps as a source ofdrinking water and a lowlysixth when it comes to elec-tricity connections.
Delhi ranks seventh in itsusage of banking facilitieswhich should come as nosurprise for people who love
to splurge. At 9,294 personsper square kilometre, Delhialso has the highest popula-tion density among allstates and union territories.
The commercial mindedDilliwalla, however, is moreinterested in running shopsand offices from theirhomes. Consider this.
Of the 3,002,166 house-holds, 319,233 or 10.6 percent are beingused for com-mercial purpos-es.
It reveals howregulations onland use and Delhi’s masterplan are being completelyignored.
Only 1,912,467 householdsor 74.9 per cent of Delhihave provisions for drink-ing water on their premises,beaten by states like Pun-jab, Lakshwadeep andChandigarh. Though 92.9per cent households that is
2,371,811 of the total2,544,149 have electricity inDelhi, the city ranks sixthafter Lakshwadeep, Damanand Diu, Chandigarh, Hi-machal Pradesh and Goa.
Incidentally, none ofthese states is as pamperedas the capital whose powerand water requirements areseveral times higher.
‘‘It is unfair to compareDelhi to any oth-er state. No oth-er state has thekind of migra-tion that pres-surises re-
sources like water, roadsand power,’’ Sheila Dikshit,Delhi chief minister said.
According to estimates,besides the 14 million peo-ple that live in Delhi, thereare 1.5 million people whomigrate to the city while an-other 1 million travel fromsatellite towns to work inthe city.
Differences in price ofeatables hitmid-day meal
By Saurabh SinhaTIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: How much doesa kg of glucose biscuit cost?Rs 23.94 if being sold to theMunicipal Corporation ofDelhi (MCD) and Rs 17.40 ifthe department of social wel-fare buys them.
Huge discrepancies likethis in the prices quoted forthe same items in tenders tothe MCD and the state gov-ernment department havefurther delayed the servingof pre-cooked meal to the900,000 students in MCDschools under the mid-daymeal scheme.
The prices for the sameeatables per kilo vary by upto 100 per cent. For instance,a private firm quoted Rs 42.50as the price of a kilo of roast-ed black gram to MCD. Thesame firm quoted Rs 14.97 forthe same item to the socialwelfare department.
At their wits end, the cor-poration is in a quandary.‘‘Calling for fresh tenderswill take another threemonths,’’ said the official.
When contacted, MCDcommissioner Rakesh Mehtajust said the ‘‘issue is beingexamined’’.
MCD sources said the cor-poration detected the differ-ence in price this time. ‘‘Therate received for a kg of bis-cuit was Rs 29.43 last year.This year the same firmquoted Rs 25.20 to us and Rs17.40 to social welfare depart-ment,’’ the source said, whileadding the MCD may havebeen duped in the past.
HC orders firmto compensateharassed man
By Bhadra SinhaTIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: A person whowas ‘‘mentally harassed’’ af-ter a finance company re-pos-sessed his car forcibly hasbeen awarded Rs 50,000 com-pensation. A Delhi highcourt bench of JusticeDalveer Bhandari and R SSodhi held that MuthootLeasing and Finance Limitedhad wrongly taken away theContessa car belonging toSatish Vasudeva even thoughhe tendered the amount tothe finance company.
The finance company hasbeen asked to pay the amountto Vasudeva. Besides, he willalso get nine per cent intereston the amount which will becomputed from the date oforder till its realisation.
With this order the highcourt has upheld the lowercourt ruling which passed anorder in favour of Vasudevaawarding him the compensa-tion. The finance company,however, appealed in thehigh court.
The company claimed thatVasudeva had purchased thecar on hire and purchase ba-sis for Rs 2.8 lakh in 1995.
The amount was to paid in12 equal monthly instal-ments of Rs 26,370 each. Theyclaimed that Vasudeva hadvoluntarily surrendered thecar to the recovery officer.
Vasudeva, however, chal-
lenged the claim and allegedthe company took away thecar on April 23, 1999, threeyears after he returned hisloan.
He also said that he had is-sued post-dated cheques forall the months.
The company did not en-cash cheques for Novemberand December, 1995. Theyalso did not raise any de-mand in respect of the instal-ment amounts for the twomonths.
Following this revelation,the finance company took an-other defence. They said Va-sudeva manages two compa-nies, Vasudeva AdvertisingPrivate Limited and Vasude-va Publicity Service.
Although Vasudeva pur-chased the Contessa for hispersonal use, he also pur-chased another car for hiscompany, Vasudeva PublicityService.
The finance company saidVasudeva Publicity Servicehad defaulted in paying backthe money.
At this the court said thecompany should have issueda notice to Vasudeva inform-ing him about any default.
With this order the Delhihigh court has once again re-inforced its earlier order stat-ing the finance companiesshould not take the help ofhenchmen to re-possess a carincase of a default.

Advani, Joshi hearquit cry on Day II
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: The Opposition on Tues-day succeeded in forcing an adjourn-ment of the Lok Sabha for the secondsuccessive day, demanding the resig-nations of Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani and HRD minister MurliManohar Joshi over the issue of theCBI dropping conspiracy chargesagainst them in the Babri Masjiddemolition case.
But by the evening, the two sideshad declared a temporary truce. Par-liamentary affairs minister SushmaSwaraj said the Lok Sabha’s BusinessAdvisory Committee decided that onWednesday, immediately after ques-tion hour, there would be a debate onthe admissibility of an adjournmentmotion on the issue and that the Op-position had agreed it would acceptthe Speaker’s ruling thereafter.
Congress sources said this decisioncame only after the Opposition re-jected the government’s suggestion ofa short-duration discussion on the
subject, and its request that the mat-ter should be taken up after the PMmade his statement on his recent for-eign visits. The sources added that ifthe Opposition was not satisfied withthe Speaker’s ruling, it would ask in-stantly for a debate on the Taj corri-dor scam and also explore ways andmeans of raising the CBI affairagain.
Simultaneously, the Congress hasdecided to move a privilege motionagainst law minister Arun Jaitley for‘‘misleading’’ the House by sayingthat there has been no dropping or di-lution of charges against Advani,Joshi and others in the Babri demoli-tion case.
Congress strategists will meet onWednesday morning to work out themodalities of the privilege motion.
Earlier in the day, as soon as thediscussion on terrorist attacks inJammu was over in the Lok Sabha,the CBI affair surfaced. OppositionMPs rushed to the well of the House,shouting: ‘‘Istifa do, Istifa do.’’

It’s raining hope in dry pocketsBy Chandrika Mago
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: So far, nearly athird of the country hasseen an unusually heavymonsoon, raising hopes ofgood production despite theapprehension that floodsmay damage crops in someareas and rain-deficiency in selected pockets mayleave a trail of another set ofproblems.
‘‘Overall, it should bevery good,’’ said a scientistfrom the Indian Council ofAgricultural Research(ICAR) on Tuesday.
The MeT office reportsthat chronically water-starved areas like westernRajasthan, Saurashtra and
Kutch had exceeded theirusual rain quota from June1 to mid-July by 21 to 71 percent. Western Rajasthan,which averages 84 mm inthis period, was showeredwith 144 mm.
Saurashtra and Kutch,which average 226 mm, hadgot 273 mm by mid-July.ICAR reports indicate cropslike bajra are blossoming inthe desert state.
Across the country, a na-tional average of 315.8 mmbetween June 1 and mid-July was beaten by thisyear’s 341.1 mm.
If 30 per cent of the coun-try has seen what the MeToffice terms excess rain (20per cent or more from theusual), 55 per cent has
been normal.Delhi has already broken
a century-old record in rainbut other records may haveto wait. ‘‘Continuous moni-toring on a real-time basis is
not possible,’’ said MeT office deputy director-gener-al S K Subramanian onTuesday. ‘‘But it is nowherenear the record on an all-India basis.’’

Nothing on pipelineas Pak awaits India
By Sanjay DuttaTIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: Islamabadhas impressed uponAfghanistan and Turk-menistan, its partners ina proposed $3.5 billion re-gional gas pipeline, to goslow on the project for al-lowing it more time to per-suade New Delhi to comeon board.
At a meeting on June 25in Turkman capital As-ghabat, the oil ministersof the three countriesasked the Asian Develop-ment Bank (ADB) to putoff shortlisting of eligiblebidders, saying they needmore time on the drawingboard.
This is nothing but anadmission that the projectwill not be viable withoutthe participation of India,the biggest gas consumerin the region. No wonder,the interest in the Pak-istani political establish-ment to rope in India cutsacross political lines. Thiscan be judged from the
fact that Hafiz Husain Ah-mad, the deputy of visit-ing Pakistani Leader ofthe Opposition MaulanaFazlur Rahman, broughtup the topic during ameeting with PM Vajpay-ee on Sunday.
Pakistani oil secretaryAbdullah Yosaf too hasbeen on record, saying In-dia holds the key to theproject’s viability.
However, New Delhi hasconsistently spurned of-
fers, saying it will not ac-cept any energy lifelinethat passes through Pak-istan.
The three promotercountries now want tostudy the feasibility of anew route through Herat,Kandahar, Quetta andMultan that will make aneventual extension to In-dia easier. The pipelinewas originally to passthrough Mazar-e-Sharief,Kabul and Lahore.

Rahman and his party colleagues closettedwith VHP president Vishnu Hari Dalmiyaand his deputy Giriraj Kishore.
Apparently satisfied with the outcome oftheir meeting, both sides said that peace wasa common concern. They, however, refused todivulge the details of their discussion.
More than the contents it was the symbol-ism of the meeting — hardline religious lead-ers from two opposite polls — that lent sig-nificance to their coming together in a five-star hotel here.
Rahman later said both countries shouldtry to resolve thorny issues through talks.The purpose of his visit, Rahman said, was togive peace a chance.

More stars than sand grainsSydney: An Australian astronomerclaimed on Tuesday to have com-pleted the most accurate calculationever of how many stars shine in thevisible universe — some 70 sextil-lion, or 70 thousand million millionmillion.
Simon Driver of the AustralianNational University ResearchSchool of Astronomy and Astro-physics said the number was morethan every grain of sand on all thebeaches and deserts on Earth.
Driver’s team used some of theworld’s most powerful telescopes tocount the galaxies in one region ofthe universe close to Earth.
They estimated the number ofstars in every grouping by measur-ing how bright each galaxy was, and
then extrapolated this number tocover the visible universe.
The figures were part of theworld’s largest galaxy survey, theTwo Degrees Field Galaxy RedshiftSurvey, presented to the generalassembly of the InternationalAstronomical Union in Sydney onTuesday.
The Anglo-Australian surveyaims to measure the distances to250,000 nearby galaxies, notably us-ing advanced equipment located atthe Siding Springs observatory inAustralia’s New South Wales state.
‘‘This is not the total number ofstars in the universe, but it’s thenumber within the range of our tel-escopes,’’ Driver said of his team’sfigure of 70 sextillion. AFP
Safer cure for rabies New York: The treatment forsomeone bitten by a rabid ani-mal may become safer, if U Sresearch pans out in clinicaltests.
Currently, treatment insuch cases includes injectionsof rabies immune globulin —that is, serum derived fromhorses or humans who havebeen exposed to the rabiesvirus and whose blood con-tains antibodies to combat thevirus.
These immune globulins,however, may contain compo-nents that cause complica-tions.
Scientists have now pro-duced synthetic virus-neutral-izing antibodies, which theysay should be tested and given“serious consideration” forpreventing rabies in humansafter exposure.
Through genetic engineer-ing, Dr. Bernhard Dietzsc-hold of Thomas JeffersonUniversity in Philadel-phia and associates developeda modified virus thatproduced high levels ofthree so-called monoclonal
antibodies against human ra-bies when mixed with animalcells in a lab dish.
As they report in the Jour-nal of Infectious Diseases, sin-gle injections of the mono-clonal antibody “cocktail”protected mice and hamstersfrom lethal doses of rabiesvirus.
In mice, the effectiveness ofthe new preparation “wascomparable to that obtainedwith human rabies immuneglobulin,” the scientists re-port.
In contrast to rabies im-mune globulin, the cocktailis “unlikely to be contaminat-ed by known or unknownhuman pathogens, and itcan be produced with no limi-tation or variation in effica-cy,” Dr Dietzschold’s teamwrites.
They propose that the mon-oclonal antibody product“should replace the rabiesimmunoglobulins currentlyused in the rabies postexpo-sure prophylaxis ofhumans.” Reuters

Fish diet protectsagainst Alzheimer’sChicago: Elderly people may be able to cuttheir risk of developing Alzheimer’s diseaseby almost half by including one or more serv-ings of fish in their diet every week, accord-ing to a new study.
In a study of more than 800 people aged65 and up, individuals who ate fish at leastonce a week were found to be 60 per cent lesslikely to develop the debilitating mental ill-ness than their peers who rarely or never atefish.
The findings are consistent with a numberof previous studies which have shown astrong correlation between the omega-3polyunsaturated fatty acids found infish — (and also brain cell membranes)— and mental function.
Laboratory animals fed diets en-riched with these fatty acids haveshown improved nerve function, learn-ing and memory, according to the studyin the Archives Of Neurology.
“Our findings suggest that consump-tion of fish — at least weekly — oil-based salad dressings and nuts may re-duce the risk of Alzheimer disease,”wrote martha clare morris, a lead au-thor on the study at rush-presbyterianSt. Luke’s Medical Centre in Chicago,Illinois.
The 815 Chicago residents enrolled inthe study were tracked for seven yearsbetween 1993 and 2000.
None of them had the disease at thebeginning of that period, but 131 wenton to develop the chronic, progressivedisorder and the most common form ofdementia. AFP

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
We are increasingly dependent on generating our own power.
— Azim Premji
By Olav Albuquerque
Oil and steel form the spine of the Indianeconomy. While privatising the steel sectormay be justified because the country hasemerged as the eighth largest producer ofsteel, there is no justification for privatisingthe oil sector. India imports about 70 per cent of its oil requirements which costs the exchequer Rs 86,000 crore per annum.India’s oil needs are about 1.65 million barrels per day (bpd).
After nationalising the oil industry in the1970s, India’s oil imports continued to spiralwhich, in turn, affected industrial and economic growth. This inflated the price ofbuilding new tankers which carry crude oiland naphtha into India. Hence, India cannever produce enough oil to satisfy domesticneeds as onshore reserves, with some exceptions, have been exploited. Recognisingthis harsh reality, India has ventured intodeep sea drilling to meet domestic needs andhas now signed a $4.5 billion pact with Iranfor supplying oil and gas. A new gas pipelinebetween Iran and India is on the anvil withboth countries examining the feasibility oflaying it over land or below the sea.
Now, only oil reserves in the deep seabasins are available for exploitation. The govern-ment has offered these to theprivate sector as part ofthe New Exploration and Licensing Policy (NELP).But drilling for oil in thedeep sea is very differentfrom working onshore. Deepsea oil reserves have to beextracted using more expen-sive technology than thatused for onshore drilling.
During the 1971 waragainst Pakistan, the foreign-owned privateoil companies refused to supply fuel to the Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force,prompting Indira Gandhi to nationalise the oil industry so that the government controlled prices in this crucial sector. Thegovernment did this by introducing its ownmachinery called the administered pricemechanism. After nationalisation, the oilmajors such as Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd(HPCL) and Bharat Petroleum CorporationLtd (BPCL) had to keep a minimum stock level of oil to be supplied to the militarywhen needed. These oil reserves were calledthe military stock levels (MSLs).
But with privatisation, all this will changebecause private players will focus only onprofits with requirements such as MSLs taking a back seat. This may undo all thatwas done by Indira Gandhi in the 1970s withthe result that even the security of the country may be jeopardised. Oil prices willbe dictated by free play of market forces withthe domestic consumer left to their mercy.After Independence, India got technicalknow-how from the former Soviet Unionwhich alone sent its geologists to identify
oil-bearing sedimentary strata and train Indian geologists in oil prospecting. But later the two partners fell out and the Sovietgeologists were sent packing with the Oil andNatural Gas Commission (ONGC) as it wasthen known, taking up the onerous task ofexploration and production.
Today, while drilling and production isdone by ONGC, the oil majors like IOC,HPCL and BPCL refine, market and distri-bute petroleum and its products. All thesecompanies are profit-making entities whichcontribute a sizable chunk to the national ex-chequer by way of taxes. Privatising these oilmajors may lead to a reduction in their taxdisbursements. On the other hand, the tech-nology for steel production has improved inleaps and bounds so that today India’s steel iscomparable in quality with that of South Korea and Japan while this has not been thecase in oil production. It is true the ONGChas entered into joint ventures for explo-ration and production of crude in countriessuch as Sudan. But it has grown in a largelymonopolistic environment because there areno other major players in exploration andproduction who can threaten its huge edifice.
It is important to observe here that the government still controlssteel distribution to crucialsectors like the military,railways and power sectors.These areas are far too sensitive to be left to the private sector. So, it is a paradox that the govern-ment chooses to hand overthe entire oil industry to theprivate sector by disinvest-ing its equity in the oil majors. Disinvestment is aresult of a cash-strapped
government desperately hunting for funds.That is acceptable. What is not is the fact that the oil industry is arguably the only onein India which has both direct and indirecteffects on the military, all other industriesand by that yardstick on economic and industrial growth.
The government should have set up an expert committee to study the effect on handing over the entire oil sector to foreignmajors who will only use the existing infrastructure to rake in more profits to recover their costs. It is true that committeeshave been set up in the past but the effect onthe steel, power, military, insurance andbanking sectors after privatising the oil industry has not been studied in-depth.
The Indian National Congress at its 1904meeting declared that the country could attain economic growth only after Indepen-dence. It is true that in some sectors likesteel, self-sufficiency has been reached, butoil production is a negation of this thinking.Handing over India’s oil majors to global giants to raise resources will negate the concept of swarajya and, in effect, meanshanding over the economy to the foreignerswhom we threw out 56 years ago.
Over a BarrelPerils of Privatising Oil Sector
Flights of FancyRather than wait for government to act,
Murthy and Premji should do their own thing
Last week two of our biggest names in IT hit the head-lines — and for none of the usual reasons. First N R Narayana Murthy, and then Azim Premji, bemoanedthe abysmal state of Indian infrastructure — from badroads and interrupted power supply to traffic congestionand poor air connectivity. For both it was a matter of thegovernment not doing enough by industry. Mr Murthy wasupset that the Centre hadn’t even bothered to reply to his request for more flights between Frankfurt and Bangalore.Mr Premji said his expansion plans were held up becausethe Karnataka government couldn’t care less about improving conditions around his office. Maybe a protestmorcha would prod the government, he said. This is strong stuff, coming from Mr Murthy and Mr Premji.These are men whose corporate behaviour is considered exemplary. So for them to slam the government hard,the provocation must have been huge. As Mr Premji complained, his world-class facility cannot possibly makethe right impression on the client when it has to endurefour power cuts in a single hour.
Now consider another fact: Between them, Infosys andWipro had a combined turnover of over Rs 7,000 crore anda combined profit of Rs 1,700 crore last fiscal. This may bechickenfeed compared to the figures for an old economy giant like Reliance, but as the new economy’s biggest players, Wipro and Infosys ought not to be complaining.Indeed, Messrs Murthy and Premji must seriously consider doing their own thing. Why not beat official apathy in the matter of air connection by investing in aircraft and supportive infrastructure so as to cut time and inconvenience? If Bangalore is no-go in terms ofinternational connectivity, hop across to Mumbai. If a Vijay Mallya can fly his friends to South Africa to watch the World Cup, there’s no reason why our IT big-wigs cannot do the same for their foreign clients. And so withpower. If you can’t put up with getting on to the generatorevery five minutes, put up a power plant. In the next few years our IT exports will touch a dizzy $50 billion.With this kind of profile the Murthy-Premji combine understandably expects to be the toast of the politicalworld. However, it is equally a fact that the bulk of our political establishment is still firmly rooted in the licence-permit raj past. Why have such high expectations of it? Ifour IT bosses want international clout and standing, theymust think big, they must think different.
Does India have an upscale strategy? Will itbe able to create superbrands? Should Indiahave an M&A ministry? Lester Thurow,ranked among Accenture’s top 50 businessgurus, talks to Vinay Kamat on the eve ofhis visit to India where he will address Indiatimes Strategy Summits on August 20and 22, in Delhi and Mumbai respectively:
Present-day globalisation is defined by what you call intellectual conquest, where brainpower is critical. How have China andIndia fared on these fronts?
The Indian and Chinese models of howone takes advantage of a global knowledge-based economy are very different. China isfollowing a model that relies on manufac-turing and foreign direct investment (FDI).China gets 30 times as much FDI as India,almost all of it in manufacturing. FDI is important not because of the money but because of the technology, markets, andscarce management and technical skills thatit brings with it. China hopes that this willteach their local partners how to master thenew technologies. Almost all of China’s FDIis focused on making components for exportsback to the wealthy industrial world wherethey are assembled into complete products.Very little FDI goes into plants designed to service the localChinese market.
India’s is what I’dcall a professionalservices model.Global firms willoutsource some oftheir professionalservices, such ascomputing, to sub-sidiaries in India ordirectly to Indianfirms. Only smallamounts of FDI areneeded since profes-sional services require little or no capital investments. If one looks at the jobs createdin China, they are mostly manufacturingjobs for high school-educated workers. Ifone looks at the jobs created in India, theyare relatively high-skill jobs for university-educated workers. India has a more upscalestrategy if you like.Would there be an Asia-driven globalisation,especially when Asia — excluding Japan —hasn’t really created super-brands so far?
Measured in currency terms, 80 per cent ofthe world’s GDP is in the wealthy industrialworld. Japan is the only big Asian player inthis 80 per cent. One can get rich trying tosell things to poor people but it is much easier to get rich selling things to rich people.As a result, the most profitable markets forthe foreseeable future are mostly in Europeand North America. Japan’s imports offinished goods from the third world are alsomuch smaller than one would expect givenits per capita GDP. In some sense it does notplay the role in Asia that it should be playing.It isn’t, of course, true to say that only Japanhas global brands in Asia. South Korea hasbeen able to establish global brands as well.Given the fact that most Asian corporations
don’t have the muscle to build brands in thedeveloped market, can there ever be genuineIndian or Chinese global corporations?
Since South Korea has created globalbrands, it is obviously possible for either China or India to do the same. It is estimatedthat in the US it takes $500 million ofadvertising in the first year to create a brandand $200 million per year after that to maintain it. It took the South Koreans 10 to 15 years to establish brands comparableto those from Japan, Europe, or the US. Oneneeds very big companies for that. But I haveno doubt that there will eventually be Indianand Chinese global corporations with brandnames. The real question is, ‘how soon?’The effects of globalisation in India have beenuneven. While Bangalore has become a globalcluster, the rest of India is struggling...
High-tech development does not occurevenly. In the US there are really only twohigh-tech clusters — Silicon Valley andRoute 128. Together, they get an overwhelm-ing proportion of venture capital invest-ment. People have to move to technology andnot the other way round. There have been alot of attempts to get new clusters started inthe US, but with limited success.Corporations have M&A departments that expand, or shrink, businesses. Should govern-
ments think on thoselines too, divestinggeographical areasthat don’t attract investment flows and enlarging clus-ters that do?
There is no doubtthat if governmentswere willing to divest slow-growthareas, the remainingareas could growmore rapidly. But it isn’t going to
happen. Today’s governments just don’tthink that way, although they did so up untilthe late 19th century. Countries regularlysold provinces and territories. The westernpart of the US was purchased from France inthe early 19th century. In the US there are3,000 counties and almost 2,000 of them aredeclining and losing population. If the 1,000got rid of the 2,000, the per capita income ofthe 1,000 would be higher.In other words, economic globalisation is unlikely to dissolve political borders for a long time...
Economic globalisation is certainly mov-ing faster than political globalisation in most of the world, but the reverse is true inEurope. Look at the growth of the EuropeanCommunity. Countries with ancient histories such as France are gradually giving up their political powers... More importantly, everyone will be on the globebut everyone will not be in the global economy. Sub-Saharan Africa is the best example. It has almost no foreign trade orFDI. Its per capita income is falling, both absolutely and relatively. Globalisation does not crush countries; it leaves them out and leaves them behind.
Thurow’s Theses
If governments werewilling to divest slow-growth areas, the remaining areas couldgrow more rapidly. But it isn’t going to happen. Today’s governments just don’t think that way.
Q&A
Picture TalkIs Vivek Oberoi so important to the countrythat you found it necessary to devote a fewcolumns on the front page to him? Whatabout the servicemen who die in the frequent MiG crashes? You never print theirphotographs. What about the lake-sized potholes on our city’s roads? You have nevermade that the topic of a front-page expose.Many people will prefer these to images of a publicity-hungry star.— Somak Goswami, via e-mail
Jaundiced ViewYour editorial, ‘Flaws & Fevers’ (Jul 18),smacks of a bias against chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu. A mystery fever hasclaimed more than a hundred young lives inAndhra Pradesh. Your editorial, whileclaiming that even top-notch research institutions don’t have a clue about the disease, seems to expect the chief minister— who, you point out rather unnecessarily,‘‘will not be seen without his laptop’’ — to
know better. I don’t think the AP chiefminister is a specialist on diseases, but hecertainly is a man of action who will notleave any stone unturned to tackle the situation. Incidentally, you have mentionedthe outbreak of dengue in Delhi and growing incidence of malaria, cholera andkala-azaar in the badlands of Bihar. Howcome you haven’t lampooned the chiefministers of these states for inaction?— K S Chakrawarthy, via e-mail
Myopic BJPThis refers to the news item, ‘BJP will tar-get Sonia’s foreign origin at Raipur’ (Jul 18).The BJP is only exposing its intellectualbankruptcy by harping on Sonia Gandhi’sforeign origin. It is living in a fool’s paradiseif it believes that it can win elections bymerely sending some activists to convincevillagers about the dangers involved inelecting a foreign-born person to the primeminister’s office. The people of India, ingeneral, and villagers, in particular, are notinterested in the genealogy of the person occupying the prime minister’s chair; theyare concerned about the person’s capabilityto solve their problems. It’s truly about roti,kapda aur makaan. The Indian people were once fooled by the BJP’s Hindutvacard, but it’s unlikely to happen again.— K Balasubramanian, via e-mail

North-east FlavoursBy Pooja Cheema
Assam Rifles — the nameconjured up visions of un-explored, enticing junglesteeming with wildlife anddancing tribals. To be fair, Ihaven’t as yet travelled thewhole region but been con-fined to Mizoram. We are atan outpost here, a remotevillage, the name of whicheven people in towns asclose as 70 km away (andthat is a long distance inthese parts) do not know.And yet, it is a microcosmof rural and modern India combined — a self-sufficient community, do-ing blissfully well withoutcable, newspapers and regular power supply andhas scant resources ofwater, but plenty of chur-ches (six, at last count, inthe village), hymn-singingand bamboo-dancing in thevillage square. I am at mywit’s end in trying to findvegetables. What do thepeople here eat? Papayas,
bananas and pineapples arenumerous and edible, butpretty bland and flavour-less. Sometimes, I feel asalienated as Doe Nair,author of I Married theArmy, and her tryst withthe north-east was a good20 to 30 years before mine.
Our first and last resorthere is a ‘wet canteen’, anarmy term for a very inglo-rious provisions store inlarge cantonments. Thereis no other place to shop for provisions. Our toilet-ries, condiments, pulses,stationery, basic toys andsundry staff are orderedthrough this store. Luxuryitems such as vanillaessence for my cakes areespecially carted all theway from Silchar in Assam‘for the company comman-der’. Fruit and vegetablesgrace our kitchen occa-sionally, when men return-ing to the post bring themfrom other towns.
My first impression ofthe house was that it was a
barely livable shed, andthat was when we had trav-elled eight hours non-stopthrough winding, brokenroads. My husband, havingpreviously made a triphere, had tried his best to doit up. He had encountereda company mule restingblissfully inside, probablytired from his numeroustrips to the village to cartwater. The bathroom hadonly one accoutrement —an Indian-style WC mount-ed atop a mud-heap and ourkitchen was a cubbyholewith no inlet or outlet forwater. We managed to equipit with a gas burner, refus-ing the kind offer to build amud chulha and furnishedit with a large bucket tostore water, and some bam-boo racks for our pots, pansand jars. There is no beautyparlour here, and so I gavemyself a haircut. After thistenure in the north-east, thearmy can post us virtuallyanywhere, for no place willever faze me again.
The journey of a meditator,Osho would say, is down-wards — towards the roots,descending from the brain to the heart, and on to thenavel. Only from the navelcan one enter the soul;not otherwise.
Mao Zedong in his memoirs wrote: “When I wasa child, there was a beautifulgarden near my mother’shut. The flowers in the garden were so colourful andbeautiful that people wouldflock from far and near to see them. Then my ageingmother fell ill. She did notworry so much about eitherher age or her illness. But sheworried about what wouldhappen to her garden”. Maowas young. He said to his mother: “Don’t worry,mother, I will take good careof your garden.”
True to his word, little Mao worked hard in the garden fromdawn to dusk. Amonth later hismother got betterand decided tocome to herfavourite place,the garden. Shewas shocked tosee the poor condition of theplace — the gar-den was ruined.All the plants had dried up; theflowers had withered. Upsetand saddened, she said to Mao: “You were in the garden the whole month.But the flowers are witheredand all the plants are about to die. What were you doing?”
Mao began to cry. He hadworked so hard. He said tohis mother: “I took greatcare. I used to kiss eachflower; I would clean andwipe off the dust from eachand every leaf — I reallydon’t know what happened.I too was worried as the flowers kept withering away,the leaves became dry...”
His mother started laugh-ing. She said: “Don’t youknow, you silly boy, that thelife of the flower is not in theflower and the life of the leafis not in the leaf ?” The life ofa plant is hidden in the rootsbeneath the ground. If theroots are not taken care of,the flowers and the leaves
will die no matter how muchyou care for them. By takingcare of the roots, the flowerswill get nourished automati-cally. For, the flowers comeout of the roots, and not theother way round.
The head or the heart areperceived to be the most important parts of the human body. But the truth isthat our roots are more important. Just as the plantshave roots in the earth fromwhich they draw their life-energy, in the human body,there are roots which drawlife-energy from the soul.The day those roots become feeble, the body begins to die.
The roots of the plants arein the earth; the roots of thehuman body are in the soul.Then where are the roots ofman? A child begins to formin its mother’s womb andgrows there. The connectinglink is the navel, the most
important pointin the humanbody. After thatthe heart developsand then thebrain. Flowers ofknowledge blos-som in the brainand in the heart.It is these flowerswhich lure us,and we think thatthey are every-thing. But theroots of man’s
body and his life-energy arein the navel. No flowers blos-som there. The roots are invisible. But the degenera-tion that has happened to human life in the past 5,000years is because we do notgive importance to our roots.
From early childhood, alleducation is of the brain; thenavel is completely ignored.So the brain continues togrow larger and our rootskeep getting smaller. We takecare of the brain because theflowers blossom there. Thenthe life-energy flow becomesfeeble and weakens our contact with the soul.

Reach for Your Soul;Nurture Your Roots

THESPEAKING
TREE
The World Bank has accused India of jettisoningtough economic reforms and embracing populism.
India has been also warned of an impending economic crisis arising out of a supposedly precariousstate of public finance. The reality might be very different. Leading economic think tanks have pre-dicted a GDP growth of between 6.5 and 7.5 per cent.The unanimous belief, the difference in growth estimates notwithstanding, is that the Indian economyis set to witness a bumper year. What’s more, thisgrowth is expected to fully offset the lower 4.3 per centgrowth of last year, which was mostly an outcome of failed rains. This year, the rain gods have been exceptionally kind. The kharif (autumn crop) sowingis on a full swing, and rainfall, which was more than 5 per cent above normal till mid-July, is predicted tofollow the trend for the rest of the season. Crucially,it has been normal or excessive rainfall in all the 36 meteorological sub-divisions of the country.
In India, there’s a strong correlation between agricultural growth and industrial recovery. In other words, though industrial growth is still to showa significant rise, it is bound to respond heartily to a good shower. Perhaps a reasonable forecast for industrial growth rate in 2003-04 will be around 6 per cent, with the current low-interest regime giving it a further fillip. And, contrary to charges offiscal imprudence, the government’s timely move to slash farm loan rates deserves praise. It’s small wonder that the stockmarket bulls are tangoing in anticipation of a good rally. Last week, the BSE Sensexcrossed 3,700, the highest it has been in almost threeyears. Clearly, our finance ministry can do without lectures from the IMF or the World Bank on the need to check fiscal deficit. Indeed, even the IMF’s chief economist has recently admitted to the partialsuccess of its forecast models: Only six of its 30 crisispredictions actually turned out to be true. That’s some food for monetary thought.
Jaswant Singh’s bullishness on the economy is parfor the course. It is the job of finance ministers the
world over to remain upbeat even when the economicnumbers don’t match their mood. In the case of the Indian finance minister, he can at least legitimatelypoint to the prospect of a normal monsoon, eventhough he can claim no credit for it. But look at someof the other economic data quoted by him and you begin to wonder. Yes, India’s forex reserves are booming, but isn’t it time we stopped making too big avirtue of it? The bulk of India’s burgeoning reserves,remember, have come through routes other than current account surplus despite a record export spurtlast year. This means that there is a price to be paid forthe forex rise, which can only go up further when the $100 billion mark is breached shortly. Long years ofscarcity may allow the FM to hawk this as a greatachievement, but in economic terms, the reserves arefast becoming a liability rather than an asset.
On exports, the real story is not so much the FM’swild optimism as the threat of US deflation. In manufacturing, after a year of growth, the signs ofslackening are already visible. Apart from agriculture,in other words, the economic outlook remains a matter for caution if not concern. But start countingthe negatives and the picture looks worse. With the NDA government in election mode, the process ofsecond-generation economic reforms has ground to ahalt. Meanwhile, the government’s populism — fromsubsidised farm loans to guaranteed-returns old-agepensions — is driving the fiscal deficit higher. Thecombined deficit of the Centre and the states is already in excess of 10 per cent and there is still more than a year to go for the next polls. No wonder,international credit rating agencies are worried about the health of the Indian economy. And so is the World Bank. Even if the FM wants us to dancewith joy in the monsoon rains.

Govt picks 26holes in reply
By Sanjay DuttaTIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: The information and broad-casting (I&B) ministry has picked 26holes in the clarifications on the equitypattern and other operational issues giv-en on July 17 by Media Content and Com-munications Services (MCCS), Star’s con-tent arm for its news channel.
In a letter written on July 18, the min-istry has posed 26 questions, wanting toknow how the individual investors inMCCS will fund their equity as well ashow the company would actually meet itsoperational expenses.
‘‘Since it has been intimated that theinvestments are by individuals, in theirpersonal capacities, the source of thefunding may kindly be indicated. In theabsence of other documentary evidence,the income-tax statements of the individ-ual investors for the last two-three yearsmay be submitted,’’ the letter said.
The letter also asked whether the in-vestors have paid up fully; and if so, onwhich date.
The letter also picked holes in MCCS’recast board. ‘‘Further...Ravina (Raj)Kohli and Ujwala P Wakhle are the firstdirectors of the company who are perma-nent and do not require to retire by rota-tion. However, in your letter dated 7thJuly, you have clarified that Ravina Kohliis not a director on the board of MediaContent and Communications Services.This may be clarified as also non-disclo-sure of Ujwala P Wakhle as a director inthe application sent to us...’’
Pointing out that MCCS has a paid-upcapital of only Rs 1 lakh and investmentof Rs 196 lakh has been funded as equityadvances, the letter has raised doubts asto how the company proposes to carry outits business which would require annualoperating expenses of Rs 100 crore.
The letter also said ‘‘that operation ex-penses by Media Content and Communi-cations Services is expected to be fundedfrom projected income of the operations.However, the manner in which the oper-ating expenses would be met, at the start-up stage, would need be clarified’’.
The letter has also sought funding de-tails and books of, among other, StarNews Broadcast Ltd, Touch Tele Commu-nications, Hughes Electronics, Adiko In-vestments and HMK Investments andtheir relationship with Media Contentand Communications Services.
Asking how MCCS paid for the equip-ment procured by it till date, the letter hasalso sought a ‘‘confirmation that MCCSwill get no revenue from advertise-ments’’.

Consider these snapshots of the IT in-dustry today. First, look at the centreof the business at the turn of the
century — Silicon Valley. Parts of thishigh-tech region to the south of San Fran-cisco, which were buzzing with activityonly three years ago, are coming to resem-ble an industrial wasteland populated bysquirrels, racoons and for lease signs. Inthe city of Santa Clara, where almost halfof all office space is vacant, rents run ataround $1 per square foot, compared with$6.50 in late 2000.
Some larger tenants in the city are evensub-letting space for nothing, just so theycan share the service costs.
Now turn to Electronics City, near Ban-galore in India, home of the developmentcentre of Wipro Technologies, an Indian ITservices giant. Some 6,500 people workthere, about half the firm’s total staff, andnew buildings are popping up all over theplace. By 2005, the campus is scheduled tohave three times as many employees as itdoes today.
Welcome to the new geography of the ITindustry, one that is no longer centred onSilicon Valley. It is the result of two dis-tinct shifts that are reshaping the business.For some time, its centre of gravity hasbeen moving away from the Valley toplaces such as Redmond, Austin, Armonkand Walldorf (in Germany), where four in-dustry leaders — Microsoft, Dell, IBM andSAP, respectively — are based.
At the same time, large parts of the busi-ness are migrating offshore, mainly to In-dia, but also to such places as China, Rus-sia and Vietnam.
This is being likened to what happenedto manufacturing in the 1970s and 1980s,when companies in the rich world movedmany of their operations overseas. The ITindustry is now developing something thatit has not had before (except in hardwaremanufacturing): a fully operational, inter-national supply chain.
Such geo-technological movements, inparticular the one shaking Silicon Valley,are no surprise to economic historians. Astechnological phases — mainframe, PC, In-ternet — in computing have come andgone, so have shifts in the industry’s centre
of gravity, argues Timothy Bresnahan,an economics professor at Stanford University.
The IT industry is no longer dominatedby start-ups, innovation and high-endequipment. Customers are more interestedin consolidation, integration and execu-tion than in the next big thing. And herethe Valley’s rivals have a competitive edge.
As a result, many of the Valley’s leadingfirms are losing ground. Siebel and Sun,for instance, recently posted disappointingquarterly results. Dell, IBM and SAP, onthe other hand, have been doing well, whileMicrosoft keeps beating expectations.Things would not perhaps be so bad for theValley were it not simultaneously beingundermined by a second shift in the indus-try. Most hardware is built in places faraway from its customers, but other parts ofthe industry are also moving abroad.
This is the result of three separatetrends that will increasingly become one,as the boundaries between software, ITservices and business processes becomeblurred. The Economist

Cellular firms take on regulatorBy Sanjay Anand
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: The row betweencellular operators and telecomregulator Trai on unified li-cence turned bitter on Tuesdaywith the industry asking theregulator to withdraw its con-sultation paper on the issue.
The cellular industry, underthe COAI (Cellular OperatorsAssociation of India) umbrella,questioned Trai’s neutrality onthe unified licence, saying thatit favours WLL-M (mobile wire-less in local loop) serviceproviders. Cellular operatorsare fighting a legal battle intelecom tribunal TDSATagainst a government policy al-lowing basic telecom players tooffer WLL-M service.
COAI said that the regulatorhad told research firm UBS at
an investors’ meet, ‘‘... if theWLL-M licences are cancelled,Trai would introduce a univer-sal licence as a backup meas-ure.’’ The statement indicatedthat Trai had a ‘predetermined’mind on the issue and ‘‘it goesagainst the principles of anopen/fair consultation...andhas the potential to render theTDSAT judgment infructuous,’’they said.
Trai chairman Pradip Baijaldenied that the authority madesuch a statement. ‘‘The ques-tion does not arise. We’ve nevermade such a statement,’’ Baijaltold The Times of India. Onwhether Trai would withdrawthe consultation paper on uni-fied licensing, he said, ‘‘Thequestion does not arise.’’
Baijal said Trai met UBS onApril 9 and July 4 and the UBS
report came out on July 8.‘‘They did not even send the re-port to Trai. We saw it in thenewspapers on Monday and gotthe report after that.’’
Baijal said, ‘‘We have alreadywritten to the newspapers(where the UBS reports ap-
peared) that the WLL-M attri-butions to Trai are false.’’ Be-sides, he said at such meetingswith investors, presentationsare made to Trai and it doesn’tgive its opinions.
Pre-determination chargeapart, COAI said that Trai wasa ‘‘key respondent in the litiga-tion’’ and can’t decide the mat-ter before the judgment hasbeen pronounced on the matter.
COAI is opposed to unified licensing that aims at allowingphone companies to offer basicas well as cellular services,which require separate licences as of now. They saythat the move is aimed at help-ing WLL-M operators, particu-larly Reliance, which hasnotched up about 2.7 millionsubscribers within a fewmonths of the launch.

Sensex dips 15 pointsMumbai: Share prices, mainly old-economy blue-chips, driftedfurther downwards on the stock exchange here on Tuesday due tosustained selling by domestic funds and operators as the Sensexcontinued its four-session losing streak by ending another 15.45points weak at 3554.13. Attributing the initial weakness to negativeadvices from Wall Street on Monday night, dealers said heavy prof-it-booking at higher levels by local funds and operators mainlycaused damage to the market. Index-based shares like RIL, SBI, Tel-co, Tisco, BHEL, L&T, Grasim, HDFC, HPCL, Hero Honda, Dr Red-dy, ICICI Bank, ACC, Bajaj Auto, BSES, GACL and Satyam Com-puter suffered sharp to moderate setback on selling.
Had there not been a smart rise in other heavyweightslike HLL, Infosys Tech, Cipla and Zee Telefilms, the loss in the Sen-sex would have been much more pronounced. Most of the cement,banks and public sector undertakings (PSUs) stocks bore the bruntof institutional selling while select IT shares recovered their ini-tial losses and even some of them closed in positive terrain.PTI

Pitches panel had a close callTIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: India’s high-profilegrounds and wickets committee(GWC) virtually got a new lease oflife during the Working Commit-tee meeting in the Capital lastmonth.
The BCCI, according to highly-placed sources, was so unhappywith the feedback on the state ofthe pitches during the last domes-tic season that it decided to re-assess the need for the GWC.
Documents in our possession re-veal that the board deliberatedupon the usefulness and effective-ness of the committee at lengthduring its working committeemeeting in New Delhi and won-dered if it should be entrusted withnew work at other centres or not.
The five-member committee,with G. Kasturi Rangan as chair-man, was originally asked to workon the wickets in 14 main centres.The other members of the team in-clude Dhiraj Parsana, Daljit Singh,Anand Shukla and PrabirMukherjee.
It’s transpiring that hardly any-body was satisfied with its per-formance. ‘‘It was a close call but,in the end, the plenary decided togive it some more time,’’ a boardofficial told Times News Network.
The working committee howev-er, qualified the extension by stat-ing that if the blueprint for good,bouncy tracks has to produce re-sults, necessary steps would haveto be taken to ensure that foolproofwork was done.
It must be pointed out that theGWC had come under scrutinysome time back itself. Thereweren’t too many indications dur-ing the season that there was anyvisible improvement in the qualityof the pitches. Its role finally cameto a head during the captains andcoaches conclave on June 7: almostall of them were highly critical ofthe wickets on which they playeddomestic matches during 2002-03.
It is learnt that a couple of lead-ing fast bowlers have also beenvery scathing about the tardinessin developing fast pitches.
The GWC landed in further trou-ble as it had painted a rosy pictureof the grounds in its status reportfor the working committee meet-ing. ‘‘We had noted that the reality
was different,’’ the official said.The Board, in fact, even sent cir-
culars to the centres concerned tocrack the contradiction. But hard-ly anybody has responded till now.‘‘We are still awaiting their obser-vations,’’ the official said. Clearly,it’s not a priority in most of thestate associations.
The criticism acquired such asharp edge during the meetingthat Kasturi Rangan offered to re-sign immediately.
Marketing meet: Meanwhile,the board’s Marketing Committeewill meet in Mumbai on Wednes-day. It will discuss sponsors forvarious domestic tournaments. Itssecretary S K Nair said the mainagenda would be to find sponsorsfor one-day domestic tournament.
‘We must marketour stars better’
By Sanjib Guha
Kolkata: It was a dream-come-true for the 100-oddbudding talents at JaidipMukerjea Tennis Academy(JMTA) as ace Indian tennisstar Mahesh Bhupathi madea day-long stopover in thecity to interact with thecadets. For Bhupathi too, theencounter was perhaps noless enduring an experiencethan his private tete-a-tetewith Indian cricket captainSourav Ganguly at a city ho-tel, earlier in the day.
Bhupathi took some timeoff to speak to Times NewsNetwork, on his way to thehotel. Following are the ex-cerpts.What are your plans, regard-ing ‘Globosport’?
We are just concentratingon the events we have on ourhands right now. At the mo-ment, we have Sania Mirza,Avishkar Salvi, KarunChandhok on our roster andwe will try and market themas well as we can.WTA was one of the bestevents that could have hap-pened on Indian soil. What doyou intend to do next?
We started it last year andI hope we’ll be able to contin-ue with it for long. I am gladthat people see it as a revolu-tion in Indian tennis.What was the essence of yourmeeting with Ganguly?
We are good friends. We
met after along time.It was justa personalm e e t i n gand hadnothing todo withthe sportswe repre-
sent. We were looking for achance to meet and it justhappened here.How would you assess your-self as a teacher?
It is true that I’ve gained alot of experience, but you’llhave to wait and see the kindof results I come up with inthe days ahead. I’m ready tolend a helping hand, whenev-er and wherever it’s neces-sary, on a part-time basis.However, I do not intend totake to full-fledged coaching.What are your plans for Sa-nia Mirza after her exception-ally good showing at the jun-ior Wimbledon meet this year?
She has got a lot of poten-tial, but has a long way to goto really make a mark in thewomen’s circuit. I am happyto see that she has alreadystarted working hard. Fewyears of hard work will helpher reach the top.
Obviously there will besome pitfalls here and there,but we all will have to sup-port her so that she can makeit to the top. And my job willbe to show her the right di-rection.
Bhutia slams refereeingBy Saumyajit Basu
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
Kolkata: Baichung Bhutia has foughtagainst immense odds in his journey fromTinkitam to becoming one of nation’s
greatest sporting icons. Hehas fought hard on thefield with defenders doublehis size and seldom gaveup.
But on Monday, even hewas at his wit’s end in theASEAN Cup quarter-final
against Persita Tangerang in Jakarta. Thereferee pointed to the dreaded spot forwhat one can be best described as a coura-geous save by goalkeeper Sandip Nandi.Supervision had been under scanner inthe ASEAN Cup and even the tournamentdirector has admitted it but what hap-pened on Monday just took the cake away.
The goalkeeper was not outside the 18-yard box and just stopped a volley from apoint-blank range. For no rhyme or reason,the referee offered Persita a spot-kick. Thelocal club was trailing. “There was im-mense provocation from the referee. Hedidn’t book Persita’s Zaenal Arif when heimproperly charged on Debjit (Ghosh). De-
cisions were blatantly going against us.And when he gave the penalty, his inten-tions were more than obvious,” Bhutia toldTNN after the match, still furious.
‘I owe it to Douglas’By Nilankur Das
Kolkata: Debjit Ghosh won’t be playingthe ASEAN Cup semifinal in Jakarta onThursday. Many will be relieved, and weare not talking of East Bengal’s opponentsthat day. Having watched in horror on tele-vision screens as teammates and medicstried to revive him during the match onMonday, it’s not only the East Bengal fans,but football lovers from all over the coun-try, who just want him back on Indian soil— safe and sound.
“There is still some pain and theswelling is there, but I’m feeling much bet-ter thanks to Shanti da (Dr Shanti RanjanDasgupta, the team doctor) and the entireteam. It’s only for Douglas (who gave himmouth-to-mouth respiration) and Shantida I am talking to you now. I owe them mylife.” Debjit told TNN over phone on Tuesday from his room at the Santika Ho-tel in Jakarta. TNN

“Australian football is obviously numberone here, but I think cricket, the kids herehave definitely got potential for cricket,”Waugh said. “I see a lot of talent. I thinkthey probably need a role model and theyneed people to come up here and to showthem how to play the game.”Islander Mary Elizabeth Moreen said thecommunity loved to watch internationalcricket matches on TV, but had never playedthe game.AFP
