-
In the South, 18 percent of the respondents felt ending corruption was most important
-
Donald Trump sees irascibility as not just a vote winner, but a technique to use in foreign policy
-
Seifert was probably not intended to be opening the batting. But then, Martin Guptill was out with a sore back
When it comes to issues that matter most, the largest groups in the North and West zones (23 and 22 percent, respectively) felt women's safety was the most important. In the South, 18 percent of the respondents felt ending corruption was the most important issue, while in the East, a fifth of the people surveyed felt getting better education facilities was the most important issue.

That has created a whole new tenor in international relations where nations are uneasy about what the US may do next. The exact jargon to describe this extremely uncertain international climate has yet to emerge.
As soon as the news of this letter reached Mamata Banerjee, who was still at the dharna site, she refuted the fact that Rajeev Kumar had joined her in the protest. Addressing the media from the podium, she said, “Rajeev never joined me in the dharna. What kind of propaganda is this? He is the commissioner of police and I am the chief minister, can he not come to me to consult some important administrative decisions?"
Tim Seifert was probably not intended to be opening the batting. But then, Martin Guptill was out with a sore back, and a space opened up. He now has his name in lights as an important piece of the World Cup squad puzzle. A viable opening option, and also a back-up keeper, Seifert has made himself valuable, and possibly all because Guptill had a sore back. It’s amazing how influential a small moment can be in a cricket career.
Traditionally, Devdas was depicted as a tragic hero because of his failed romances. But lust replaces love in Dev.D; Dev is not only sexually charged but also disoriented. There is no justification for turning to alcohol or drugs. There is no "jeene ke liye kaun peeta hai, Chandramukhi" and all that jazz. His state of perennial confusion is probably a reflection of the youth of the new millennium.
