Bengaluru: ISRO on
Wednesday announced
that the launch of coun-
try’sthirdlunarmission,
Chandrayaan-3mayhap-
pen next year and said
four from the Indian Air
Forcehavebeenselected
for the ambitious Gaga-
nyaan programme,
whose astronaut train-
ing would commence
soon in Russia.
The announcement
comes a day after Un-
ion Minister Jitendra
Singh said India will
launch Chan-
drayaan-3 in 2020.
Addressing a press
conference here,
ISRO chairman K Si-
van said work related
to the third lunar
mission was going on
smoothly.
It will have a lander,
rover and a propul-
sion module like its
predecessor, he noted.
He also said the
launch of Chan-
drayaan-3 may shift to
next year.
Work on both Chan-
drayaan-3 and Gagan-
yaan,thecountry’smaid-
en manned space mis-
sion,wasgoingonsimul-
taneously, he added.
Noting that Chan-
drayaan-2 orbiter’s
mission life was seven
years, he said it would
be used for the third
lunar mission as well.
Giving an estimate of
the project cost for
Chandrayaan-3, Sivan
said, “It would cost Rs
250 crore.”
On the launch pad to
come up in Tuticorin in
Tamil Nadu, Sivan said,
“Apart from the space
port at Sathish Dhawan
Space Centre in Sri-
harikota, the land ac-
quisition for a second
one has been initiated
in Tuticorin district.”
As regards the choice
of location, he said, “It
was mainly to get ad-
vantages of southward
launch especially for
SSLV (Small Satellite
Launch Vehicle).”
Observing that the
pad, once set up would
be used for launching
SSLVs initially, he
said it may be expand-
ed for big ones in fu-
ture.
On future missions,
he said, “25 missions
have been planned for
2020.”
“The missions that
were planned in 2019
and could not be com-
pleted would be fin-
ished by March this
year,” he said.
When asked what
went wrong with
Vikram lander of Chan-
drayaan-2, he said it
was due to velocity re-
duction failure.
“The velocity re-
duction failure was
due to internal rea-
sons,” he said.
Chandrayaan-2 mis-
sion was India’s first
attempt to land on lu-
nar surface. The ISRO
had planned the land-
ing on the South Pole
of the lunar surface.
However, the lander
Vikram hard-landed.
Sivan also congratu-
lated the Chennai based

CM Gehlot gets cracking on New Year’s day with cabinet meeting
Rituraj Sharma/
Naresh Sharma
Jaipur: While several
people like to spend
the first day of the
year, along with fam-
ily or friends and
bring about a lazy
start to their year,
Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot, known for his
workaholic lifestyle,
ushered in the first
day of 2020 by calling
a cabinet meeting.
The meeting, which
took place in the even-
ing, was called at a
short notice wherein
the action plan of Ge-
hlot’s Nirogi Rajasthan
campaign was ap-
proved. Furthermore,
discussions were also
held on the locust issue
and the Citizenship
Amendment Act (CAA).
Notably, deputy chief
minister Sachin Pilot
could not attend the
meeting as he is out of
station. Interestingly,
Transport Minister
Pratap Singh Khachari-
yawas, who was observ-
ing no vehicle day, trav-
elled on a cycle to attend
the cabinet meet and
requested his col-
leagues to do the same
once a month.
The meeting that
lasted for an hour,
was briefed by health
and DIPR minister Dr
Raghu Sharma who
said that lengthy dis-
cussion was held on
the three issues
wherein CM Ashok
Gehlot has registered
his worry over the lo-
cust issue.
“The Chief Minis-
ter has toured the af-
fected areas and given
orders for Girdawari.
Additional resources
have been demanded
from the Central gov-
ernment,” Sharma
informed.
Meanwhile, The Ac-
tion Plan of Nirogi Ra-
jasthan was also dis-
cussed wherein the iss-
sue as to how seamless
coordination between
various departments
can prove to be a big
boon in taking this pro-
gram to each and every
individual.
“All the ministers
have been given respon-
sibilities related to
Nirogi Rajasthan and
all government depart-
ments will work on this
as a mission,” the
health minister said.
While the country
is boiling over NRC
and CAA, the Gehlot
cabinet also discussed
the issue as pertain-
ing to the situation in
Rajasthan. “The state
government has de-
manded from the un-
ion government to
hold discussions on
actual issues. The
government should
act to remove this eco-
nomic slowdown in-
stead of getting in-
volved in NRC and
CAA,” the minister
added.
Approval was given
to decisions previous-
ly taken through cir-
culation. Although
discussion was held
on three issues, no
policy decision was
taken in the cabinet
meeting.CM Ashok Gehlot talking to mediapersons on Wednesday. —PHOTO BY SUMAN SARKAR

Lahore: The historic
Gurdwara Darbar Sahib
in Pakistan’s Kartarpur
- the final resting place
of Sikh faith’s founder
Guru Nanak Dev - will
be closed for local non-
Sikh visitors for three
days from Friday in con-
nection with the birth
anniversary celebra-
tions of Guru Gobind
Singh.
“The govt has decided
to close Kartarpur Sa-
hib for three days from
January 3 to 5 for non-
Sikh visitors to exclu-
sively hold a Sikh event
- celebration of birth an-
niversary of Guru Gob-
ind Singh at the Kartar-
pur Complex Narowal,”
Evacuee Trust Property
Board (ETBP) spokes-
person Amir Hashmi
told. Hashmi said the
government decided to
close the Kartarpur Sa-
hib for non-Sikh Paki-
stanis to let the Sikhs of
Pakistan and India cel-
ebrate their Guru’s
birthday together at the
historic Kartarpur com-
plex.
“The main event of
the 10th Guru of Sikh
religion Gobind Singh’s
birth anniversary will
be held at Kartarpur on
January 5,” the official
said, adding that strict
security measures have
been taken to avert any
untoward incident.
G
uru Gobind
Singh Jayanti
marks the
birth anniver-
sary of Guru Gobind
Singh Ji Maharaj, the
10th guru of the Sikhs.
He was born in Patna
and through the way he
led his life, emerged as
a great inspiration for
people. He unflinch-
ingly supported social
equality and stood
against tyrannies and
disparities. According
to the Gregorian calen-
dar, Guru Gobind Sin-
gh’s Jayanti falls in De-
cember or January
every year. But the an-
nual celebrations of
the Guru’s birth anni-
versary take place as
per the Nanakshahi
calendar. This year, it
falls on January 2.
On this day, devotees
gather and offer their
prayers for blessings.
Large processions are
organised and they
sing devotional songs
as well as share food
with adults and chil-
dren. Then they all
halt at gurudwaras,
their places of wor-
ship. It is here that
they offer special
prayers. Food plays a
major role in the cele-
brations and the cele-
brations are incom-
plete without it.
It was he who introduced the five ‘K’s
that the Sikhs abide by:
z Kesh: uncut hair
z Kangha: a wooden
comb
z Kara: an iron or steel
bracelet worn on the
wrist
z Kirpan: a sword
z Kacchera: short
breeches
Guru Gobind Singh
was also a poet and
writer. He declared
the Holy Scriptures
of Guru Granth Sahib
as the permanent
guru of the Sikhs. It
is believed that the
Guru in 1699 baptised
five men from ‘lower
caste’ as his ‘Five
Beloveds’. He passed
away in 1708.

Jayanti is cel-

and even those who
don’t identify as Sikh
but believe in Guru
Gobind Singh’s teach-
ings. People celebrating
this day go to a Gurud-
wara, the Sikh house of
worship, where special
prayer meetings are
organised for the day.
Often there are talks on
history- Guru Gobind
Singh’s life, teachings
and impact, special lec-
tures on his teachings
and poetry recitals- for
the Guru was great poet
as well.
In some places
it is common for
large proces-
sions to spread
the cheer by
going through
markets or colonies on
Guru Gobind Singh Jay-
anti singing devotional
songs during the public
march and distributing
sweets and cold drinks
(like sharbat). Some of
these processions are
organised by Gurud-
waras and the proces-
sion includes the Guru
Granth Sahib being
escorted on a special
pedestal.

Minister Ashok Gehlot

people on the birth
anniversary of Guru

Rajasthan Governor
Kalraj Mishra also con-
gratulated and greeted
the people of the state
on the occasion of Guru
Gobind Singh Jay-
anti. He said that “Even
today the message
of humanity given by
Guru Gobind Singh is
relevant as it helps in
promoting the spirit of
equality and brother-
hood in our society.”

First India News
Jaipur: Keeping up its
promise to Resident
doctors, the Gehlot gov-
ernment has given
them New Year gift of
reduced fee. They would
also get hostel allow-
ance of Rs2500 per
month.
When resident doc-
tors had gone on strike
demanding a roll back
of fee hike among other
things, health minister
Raghu Sharma had tak-
en initiative to talk to
them and assured that
fee would be reduced.
The government had
hiked their fee to Rs
95,000, which was al-
most 20 times of their
current fee. The resi-
dents had called state-
wide strike and had re-
fused to accept health
minister’s words insist-
ing on issuing written
order by government.
Minister had prom-
ised that the fee would
be reduced. On his in-
structions, the medical
education department
immediately sent a pro-
posal to this effect to fi-
nance department.
On Wednesday, the
medical education de-
partment issued order
of reduced fee after
sanction received from
the finance department.
What’s more, another
demand of resident doc-
tors that the govern-
ment should pay them
hostel allowance to
those who don’t get hos-
tel accommodation, the
government has sanc-
tioned Rs2500 per
month.
While, the renewed
fee order would be im-
plemented from the
next academic session;
hostel allowance would
be applicable from the
month of January.

Jaipur: The Rajasthan
Subordinate and Minis-
terial Services Selection
Board on Wednesday
cancelled an exam held
earlier this week for re-
cruitment of librarians
as the question paper
was leaked, a senior of-
ficial said. A new date
for the exam will be an-
nounced soon, he said.
According to police,
the question paper and
the answer key for the
Rajasthan Subordinate
and Ministerial Servic-
es Selection Board
(RSMSSB) exam on
Sunday was leaked two
hours before the exam.
“We have decided to
cancel the exam in view
of the paper leak. A new
date will be announced
soon,” RSMSSB chair-
man BL Jatawat said.
Nearly 55,000 candi-
dates had appeared for
the exam for recruit-
ment of 700 Grade III
librarians in Secondary
Education Department.
Following a tip off,
raids were conducted at
around a dozen places
before the exam on Sun-
day. Six persons, includ-
ing two women candi-
dates, were arrested
from a hostel run by an
owner of a coaching in-
stitute in Jaipur, the po-
lice said.
The police recovered
the question paper and
the answer key.
The accused had cre-
ated a WhatsApp group
named “Jai Shree
Krishna” and shared
the paper and the an-
swer key two hours be-
fore the exam. There
were five members in
the group, the police
said. The accused were
identified as Mausam
Chaudhary and Brah-
ma Chaudhary, both
candidates, and Amit
Chaudhary, Pradeep
Kumar, Manoj Kumar
and Surendra, who had
arranged the paper,
they said.
The main accused in
the case, Sandeep Neh-
ra, who owns a coaching
institute, is absconding,
they added.
According to police, it
is suspected that a po-
lice constable was also
involved in leaking the
question paper. —PTI

BRAVO RIDING HIGH ON
BADE SAHAB’S BLESSINGS
One Bravo sahab from the rural areas
of the state, apparently is enjoying a
lot of “power” in the Police Head Quarters
(PHQ). It is all due to
Bravo’s “power” that
those junior to him and
those senior to him are all
in line, reporting him on
various issues. Although
the Bravo is routinely
exercising his “power” however this is not
going down well with a few of his seniors
seated in PHQ who are reportedly annoyed
at the Bravo’s involvement in the PHQ
affairs. On this a few senior officials have
even alerted the CMO, however, due to a
“Bade sahab’s” blessings, the Bravo fears
none and neither does he care for anyone.
IAS OFFICIAL MANAGED TO DROP SCOOTY
PROJECT FROM DEVNARAYAN YOJANA!
Asurprising development has occurred in the state wherein
the state government could be in “trouble” due to a “ploy”
of officials. Well, a field has been “tilled” by an official who held
the charge of Tribal Commissioner during previous government’s
rule. Although not concerned with his department now, the official
somehow managed to change the scooty project of the state
government. This IAS met with concerned minister even though
the project has no role in his current posting and even without
any approval from the minister, the scooty project was removed
from Devnarayan Yojna. Moreover, not just this, the number of
scooty bikes to be given was also reduced while also removing
the provision of handing scooty to 10th pass girls in Tribal Areas.
However, if you thought this was the most surprising development,
then wait! The sahab has even managed to get all this development
approved with the concerned department’s proposal or letter to
this regard. Furthermore, the entire matter was not brought to the
notice of the Chief Minister’s Office as well! It is now believed that
the CMO can take action on the concerned officials.
RTO’S ROSTER ISSUE TAKES
AN INTERESTING TWIST
An interesting turn of events or rather a
U-Turn has occurred in the RTO roster
episode. RTO Rajendra Verma will again
have to face two “hurdles” at Jagatpura,
as the two clerks had been relieved by
the RTO nearly four days back. The clerks
had been posing as a hurdle in RTO’s way
of carrying out a roster of his own liking.
However, now it is learnt that the RTO has
received a “piece of mind” from a superior
and the headquarters also declined giving
position to both clerks and sent a letter
stating that the HQ wanted information
assistant and instead clerks have been
sent to them. Now the clerks have been
ordered to join back at Jagatpura and
now the officials are waiting for Verma’s
“Counter”.

Jodhpur: Dami Kohli,
a Pakistani Hindu refu-

by Rajasthan Board of
Secondary Education to
provide eligibility cer-
tificate to appear for
board examination of
12th standard sched-
uled later this year.
However, State Edu-
cation Minister Govind
Singh Dotasara has said
that the girl will be al-
lowed to appear in the
exam even if the gov-
ernment has to change
rules. Dami, who came
to India from Sindh in
Pakistan a few years
ago fleeing religious
persecution, completed
her 10th from Pakistan.
She is living in Aan-
ganwa refugee camp,
near Jodhpur and got
admission in a local
school in 11th standard.
“I took admission in
the school in 2018. I
studied there for the
whole year and passed
the 11th standard. Only
one month are left for
board exams and the
school has given me a
notice stating that I will
not be allowed to ap-
pear. I have given all the
proofs. I should also get
the right to education,”
Dami said..
Dotasara said a letter
has been written to Pak
embassy seeking de-
tails of their
syllabus.“If we get posi-
tive response from
them, we will allow her.
Even if we get a nega-
tive response, we will
change rules and will
allow her,” Dotasara
said. Board rejected her
exam form as she had
passed the tenth stand-
ard from Pakistan. —ANI

Jaipur: India enters the
2020 with a successful
world record, having
succeeded in breeding
of Great Indian Bus-
tard, whose global popu-
lation had plummeted
to 150, according to offi-
cials and they were less
than 75 as per the pri-
vate sector experts.
Nine eggs were col-
lected in the Desert Na-
tional Park in Jaisalmer
district during summer
of 2019. They were arti-
ficially incubated.
Interestingly, seven
are females, one male
and the sex of the ninth
is yet to be ascertained.
It is a 10 year long pro-
ject piloted by state’s
Forest Department, led
by Arindam Tomar,
Chief Wildlife Warden.
He issued permissions
in a fast track and scien-
tific manner soon after
taking over in January
2019. The WII, was in-
vited as MoEFCC sanc-
tioned funds to go ahead

Jaipur: Only a handful
of dayshavepassedsince
a panther terrorized the
peopleof Jaipurfornear-
ly twenty four hours,
when on the first day of
the New Year, another
feline crossed over from
the jungle environs.
However this time,
the feline did not terror-
ise the people, rather
the forest officials came
out to help as it needed
medical attention. Due
to intense cold over the
past few days, the feline
was in a “frozen” condi-
tion as she was battling
cold, dehydration and
had not eaten for quite
sometime.
When early in the
morning people sighted
the panther near Ghat
Ki Guni, at first they
rushed away from the
spot thinking that the
panther would attack
them. However, on real-
ising that she wasn’t
moving, they went near
and inspected it. “Peo-
ple realised that al-
though it was alive it
was probably suffering
from some health issue
and thus they quickly
put a blanket around
the sub-adult female
and lit a fire to keep her
warm,” officials said.
Meanwhile, the for-
est officials were alert-
ed and a team rushed to
the spot. “The feline
was rescued and rushed
to Jaipur zoo for proper
treatment. She has been
administered fluid ther-
apy and multi vitamins
have been given. Life
saving drugs have also
been administered.
Moreover, for protec-
tion from cold, heater
and blankets have also
been provided to make
her recover. The feline’s
blood samples have
been collected for fur-
ther evaluation. The
next 48 hours are criti-
cal,” said Dr Arvind

tor, Jaipur zoo.

Jaipur: The state is ex-
pected to get two new
tiger reserves soon,
which will take the
number of tiger re-
serves in the state to
five. The Forest Depart-
ment has sent a propos-
al to the state govern-
ment to form the tiger
reserves in Kumbhal-
garh and Ramgarh
Vishdhari. An an-
nouncement will be
made regarding both
the tiger reserves as
soon as permission is
granted by the state
government.
Tigers are moving
out of Ranthambore in
search of new territory.
Similarly, the move-
ment of four tigers was
reported in Bundi’s
Ramgarh Vishdhari
corridor as well. Tiger’s
exit from the reserve
can be a threat to its life.
Currently, Ramgarh
Vishdhari does not have
the status of a tiger re-
serve, although efforts
are being made to make
it a reserve.
At the same time, the
wait of Kumbhalgarh
having a forest area of

to end soon. Kumbhal-
garh has 350 sq km of
dense forest area, in
which the number of
prey base is also very
good. Moreover, grass-
lands are being devel-
oped to increase the
prey base there. In fact,
Speaker Dr CP Joshi
had written a letter to
CM Ashok Gehlot to
make Kumbhalgarh a
tiger reserve, after
which matter pro-
gressed. Recently, Chief
Wildlife Warden Arin-
dam Tomar had also
visited Mukundra and
Ramgarh and discussed
the possibilities of new
tiger reserves there.
Experts believe tigers
should also be brought
in Rajasthan from out-
side. If we get these ti-
ger reserves, then about
40-45 tigers can be com-
fortably settled there.

But he said while a
lot of attention is being
given to the “western

the Line of Control, the
“northern front also re-
quires equal amount of

“It is in that context
that we are now going

opment even in the

which includes the
north-east parts of our
country,” said the Gen-
eral, who earlier head-
ed the Eastern Com-

nearly 4,000-kilometre
border with China.
“We have the Line of
Actual Control with
China. The border ques-

However, we have made
a lot of progress in
maintaining peace and
tranquility along the
borders. And I am sure
that the situation will

Over the last years,
there have been several
incursions by Chinese
soldiers, both in Lada-

Pradesh. In 2017, the
Chinese and Indian
troops had a 10-week
face-off at Doklam near
Sikkim, as Indian sol-
diers crossed into the
plateau to prevent Chi-
nese road construction
workers from extending
a road to the strategic
Jampheri ridge-line.
India considers the
Doklam plateau an un-
disputed part of Bhu-
tanese territory, while
China considers it an
extension of its Chum-
bi Valley, a wedge of
land that lies in be-
tween Sikkim to the
west and Bhutan to the
east.
Access to the ridge
would have enabled the
People’s Liberation
Army a clear line of

guri corridor, a tract of
land just 18 km wide
which links India’s

KERALA HEADS FOR
CONFRONTATION
WITH CENTRE
ith the central government ex-
tending a veiled threat to Kerala
directing it to implement the
new citizenship act or it will ex-
ercise its Constitutional options,
both appear heading for first-ever serious
crisis in the country’s independent history
after an opposition-ruled southern state as-
sembly passed a resolution against enact-
ing federal law.
Following the passage of CAA in Parlia-
ment and proposed National Citizens Reg-
ister, the situation seems to have come to
such where there is no meeting ground
left because the centre has turned down
the offer of an all-party meeting on the
contentious issues whereas as CPI (M) led
Kerala assembly has passed a resolution
that not only brings it in direct confronta-
tion with the centre but also all set to cre-
ate a serious political and Constitutional
crisis.
Under Indian Constitution, the states
are mandatory to implement any law that
parliament passes and if any of the states
refuse to oblige, the centre has the option
to take the Constitutional route i.e. prom-
ulgation of President rule in that particu-
lar state. Imagine the scale of the crisis in
case all opposition-ruled states follow
Kerala’s path, the country will plunge into
because domains of parliament and legis-
lative assemblies, executive and judiciary
are independent and well defined under
the Constitution.
Technically, Kerala has defied the Consti-
tution arguing that the law is against the
basic character and Preamble of the India
Constitution, the centre has gone one step
ahead threatening the state that if it did not
implement the new law, it knows how to use
available Constitutional options. Such a
conflict is bound to have its far-reaching
implications on the centre-state relations,
which were clearly described in the Sarka-
ria Commission report. In a federal demo-
cratic system like India, Centre though has
absolute powers in certain contexts, but by
and large it is duty-bound to work in tan-
dem with the states.
Practically, centre cannot get any law
implemented without the consent of states
because providing logistics and other re-
quirements are under the domain of the
states. The law minister says the states
constitutionally cannot deny implement-
ing a law like CAA, which is passed by par-
liament and “perfectly legal”. None of the
Constitutional experts have questioned
the legality of the new law, but their point
of contention is the intention behind the
enactment, as it delinks a particular com-
munity from the other which is in contra-
vention to the Preamble of the Indian Con-
stitution that describes India as a sover-
eign, socialist, secular, democratic repub-
lic. Before we reach to point of no return
still there is time left for saving federal
democracy.
IN-DEPTH
W
n the game of life, destiny deals
us a set of cards – circumstanc-
es that we have no choice but to
work with. Nevertheless, we
are told that it is up to us how
we play the game. We could
have a great hand and lose, or
we could have a lousy hand,
play it right, and still win.
In order to attempt to play it
right though, we must start by
accepting what comes our way
as being the result of our own
past actions. When faced with
difficult situations, we can
curse destiny, we can cry and
rebel, or we can accept the con-
sequences of our own actions,
take responsibility, and try to
pick up the pieces.
It would be one thing if we
could simply fold and cut our
losses. But when there is no
such choice in life, if we have
to play the game whether we
like it or not, then why not play
it right?
One of the most effective
ways to help us improve our
game is to focus on solutions
and not simply on the problem.
After all, how many times have
we been able to clear a traffic
jam by swearing our way
through it? How many times
have we settled our bills by
complaining about how expen-
sive things have become? Or
how many times have we allevi-
ated pain by moaning and
groaning? Rather than spend-
ing our time and energy com-
plaining about things and not
getting anywhere, it would be a
smarter choice to try and focus
on a course of action that
would help solve these prob-
lems.
We have to be careful though,
because once we have thought
about what we need to do in or-
der to solve a problem, what
tends to set in next is worry
about the possible outcome of
our actions.
Once we take everything into
consideration and make a
mindful choice on the card that
has to be played next, then
there is no point worrying. It is
understandable to be afraid of
some of the possible results,
but what is unwise is repeat-
edly going through them in our
head and consequently multi-
plying our grief.
We can only try our best;
other than that there is nothing
else we can do. Once the batter
is mixed as per the recipe, there
is nothing else that needs to be
added to it to obtain a sponge
cake – it just has to be put into
the oven. Yes, we can pray for it
to turn out the way we would
like, but even this is not neces-
sary. Our Master will give us
that which is best for us; he al-
ways does.
We should know that there
is always some good in what-
ever he deems fit for us – it is
just a matter of focusing on
the donut and not on the
hole. After the 17th-century
scholar, Matthew Henry was
accosted by thieves and robbed
of his purse, he wrote this in
his diary:
Let me be thankful first, be-
cause I was never robbed be-
fore; second, because, although
they took my purse, they did
not take my life; third, although
they took my all, it was not
much; and fourthly, because it
was I who was robbed, not I
who robbed. As quoted in Eve-
ry Day Deserves a Chance Life
is about where we choose to put
our attention. If we conscious-
ly try to allocate our attention
to finding solutions rather
than dwelling on problems; if
we make a mindful effort to do
our best given the circumstanc-
es and then leave the rest to
him who knows better; and if
we keep attempting to focus on
the positive no matter what
may be going on in life, we will
find that it is easier for us to
cope.
Nevertheless, there will be
many times when difficult cir-
cumstances will draw our at-
tention forcibly in their direc-
tion, making us feel disillu-
sioned, debilitated and perhaps
powerless to make the neces-
sary choices.
We have been emphatically
reassured over and over again
that our worldly and spiritual
lives will be taken care of, pro-
vided we are sincere in our
meditation; that is, sincere in
our intention, our preparation
and our execution of it. If we
keep our part of the bargain
every day, come what may, our
Master will help us make the
necessary decisions.
If we do our meditation, we
will know and feel that we are
not playing the game of life
alone; that the Master-player is

PLAY IT RIGHTOnce we take everything into consideration and make a mindful choice on the
card that has to be played next, then there is no point worrying
I
There will be
many times
when difficult
circumstances
will draw our
attention
forcibly in their
direction,
making us feel
disillusioned,
debilitated and
perhaps
powerless to
make the
necessary
choices
We should know that
there is always some
good in whatever he
deems fit for us – it is
just a matter of
focusing on the donut
and not on the hole
here are two
kinds of people
— and not just
people. Rather,
I should say,
there are two kinds of sen-
sory styles. This applies to
animals, even to Roombas.
Knowing those styles
helps fix some common ar-
guments. Think of senso-
ry processing in gener-
al—the making sense of
the world we do for a liv-
ing—as something like the
acoustic processing done
by a submarine. Subma-
rines “ping.” Everybody
knows about those sudden
burst of sculpted sound —
PINNGGGgggg…—a sub-
marine emits in order to
listen for echoes. Echo-lo-
cation works like a strobe
light: Send out a burst of
energy, wait for the return
signal. Provide your own
illumination, interfere
with the world, let it know
you’re there.
But not all submarines
work that way. Some of
them listen to their envi-
ronment silently, emitting
no energy and offering no
clue of their existence
(“silent running”). It’s
slow work, and requires
constant attention, but
you’re much less likely to
be attacked, since others
may not notice you’re
there. As strategic choic-
es, listeners listen, and
pingers ping, but only for
the most part, because
those two strategies are
just opposite poles of the
general strategy of ping-
ing. Pinging means inter-
fering with the world in
order to learn about it.
Pinging interferes a lot,
listening only a little.
Pinging is best for reori-
entation, because it’s in-
termittent —like turning
on a room light briefly, to
remind yourself how far
away the door is, or rock-
ing a dial or a physical
object back and forth, to
locate the “edges” of its
balance to infer where the
middle is. Pinging is algo-
rithmically efficient; one
burst can illuminate a lot,
and dividing the task of
sensing into separate out-
put and input phases sim-
plifies computation. Un-
fortunately, the pinging
approach is so efficient
that it becomes addictive.
Once you become a
pinger, in practical terms
it’s hard to go back. For an
inveterate pinger (like
me), the longer I go with-
out a ping to orient my-
self, the more uncertain
and at sea I feel. It’s hard
to wait long enough to
gather the long-term data
which might ultimately
improve my listening
skills. So even now, I’m
still a pinger.
Listening is mostly used
when pings are expensive,
as in crowded classrooms
and interaction with high-
er-status people. Listening
specializes in highly sensi-
tive, long-duration data
acquisition, both during
calibration and during ac-
tual use — which are often
the same thing. Listening
best applies to social situ-
ations, felt in 3D space, be-
cause the body’s physical
and emotional resonances
can coherently accumu-
late extended signals from
other people. Listeners go
more by “feel” than rules.
My wife is a classic lis-
tener, from a family of sto-
rytellers who value listen-
ing. Her nervous system
has always been finely
tuned and sensitive, so she
could listen well and could
anticipate people’s moods.
Furthermore, when she
was growing up, people
who looked like her were
supposed to keep their
mouths shut; in her grade-
school classrooms, even
her excellent questions
were punished. So she
learned to pay close atten-
tion to other people, and
not to interfere.

by an exchange of fire.
The cops were able to
injure the man which
led to his arrest.
The history sheeter -
identified Sukhdev
Jakhar has been arrest-
ed from Jajiwal area
under Jodhpur Com-
missionerate.
“Late in the night a
SUV reached a hotel lo-
cated at Circuit House
road and a few youth
got down from the vehi-
cle demanding entry in
the hotel.
The home guard offi-
cials posted there de-
nied it, informing them
of the policy that did
not allow stag entry on
that night.Upon this the
man pulled out a gun
and opened fire. One
shot grazed a home
guard’s abdomen, the
men then fled from the
spot as the guard, who
had hurried away to
shelter as the firing
started, alerted the
cops,” officials said.
ACP Rajesh Meena
took stock of situation
and identifying the cul-
prit, formed a team.
“The cops identified
the accused as history
sheeter Sukhdev and
thus a search was initi-
ated. It was learnt that
the SUV was last seen at
Jajiwal area and thus
the team scurried to the
spot. The history
sheeter was challenged
to come out of hiding
after the cops surround-
ed the place, however
the men started firing.
The police gave a fitting
reply and one bullet hit
Sukhdev in his leg after
which the man was
brought under custody
without any difficul-
ties. Further action in
the matter is being tak-
en,” officials said.

GRAND STAGE SET
Madrid: Spain’s Fer-
nando Alonso is set to
become the first Formu-
la 1 champion to com-
pete in the Dakar Rally,
which starts on Sunday
in Saudi Arabia.
“The biggest chal-
lenge of my career,” the
38-year-old Alonso said,
referring to the world’s
most grueling race, re-
ports media. Alonso,
who won the F1 champi-
onship in 2005 and 2006,
entered the Dakar Rally,
whose 2020 edition
leaves behind South
America for Saudi Ara-
bia, as part of his quest
to become a more com-
plete & versatile driver.
About 20 F1 drivers
have competed in the
Dakar Rally over the
years, but Alonso is the
first world champion to
do so. Belgium’s Jacky
Ickx became the first
former F1 driver to win
the Dakar Rally, finish-
ing first in 1983 and sec-
ond in 1986 and 1989.
The expectations for
Alonso are comparable
to those raised by
French driver Sebas-
tien Loeb, a nine-time
rally world champion
who competed in the
Dakar Rally from 2016
to 2019, winning 13 stag-
es but never finishing
first overall.
“If Loeb still hasn’t
won the Dakar, imagine
me, who is coming from
asphalt. I think the goal
is more to approach the
rally as an enriching
experience for us,”
Alonso told RTVE last
Friday before leaving
for Saudi Arabia. The
45-year-old Loeb was
unable to take home the
bronze Touareg Trophy
despite being the best
driver in rally history
and having skills that
fit the Dakar Rally bet-
ter than Formula 1.
Even though Loeb
did not have to make
huge adjustments, he
still came up short in
his bid to win the Da-
kar, whose inaugural
edition was held in
1979. Alonso, who has
always driven alone,
will have veteran Marc
Coma, a five-time rally
champ in the
motor-
cycle category, helping
him navigate the route.
The Spanish driver
has the triple crown of
motor racing within
reach.InSaudiArabia,a
route covering nearly
8,000 kilometers with

New Delhi: Ajinkya
Rahane doesn’t fuss
over technical issues
but India’s Test
vice-captain feels that
the breeze in Welling-
ton and Christchurch
needs to be factored in
during the team’s up-
coming two-Test series
against New Zealand
next month. Getting
used to conditions will
be the key,” he added.
Preparation doesn’t
start from practising
the skills but it starts
from the travel day. Get-
ting over jet lag, getting
accustomed to the
weather, all small
things matter. So ‘A’ tour
helps in preparation.”
He feels that new BCCI
president Sourav Gan-
guly and India A coach
Rahul Dravid will take
Indian cricket to un-
precedented heights.
“Dada and Rahul
Bhai (as NCA head) to-
gether will create a
roadmap that will sure-
ly take Indian cricket to
places.” In 2014, it was
a young team that
toured NZ and lost the
Test series 0-1 but a lot
has changed since then.
“That time, it was a
young unit touring NZ
for the first time.”
Sydney: Canadian De-
nis Shapovalov called
on the organisers of the
Davis Cup Finals and
the ATP Cup to work to-
gether to create one
world championship,
saying it felt “weird” to
play two similar events.
The inaugural edition
of the revamped Davis
Cup, the International
Tennis Federation’s
flagship event, was held
in November in Madrid
with 18 nations playing
a week-long soccer
World Cup-style show-
piece. The rival ATP
cup, which will see 24
nations contesting
across 3 cities in Austra-
lia over 10 days for the
first time, is similar in
nature and the big ques-
tion remains if the two
can co-exist in the fu-
ture. Shapovalov played
brilliantly to lead Cana-
da to it first Davis Cup
final where they even-
tually went down to
Rafa Nadal’s Spain. The
world number 15 will
again take up the man-
tle from Friday for Can-
ada, who have been
clubbed with Germany,
Greece & hosts Austra-
lia in Group F of the
ATP Cup.
The ATP Cup will
have total prize money
of $15 million. The new
Davis Cup Finals of-
fered around $18 million
to teams and another $9
million to federations.

Indian cricket to new level’

Australia: Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal reclaimed
his title as the world’s best tennis player during the ATP
Finals in November, becoming the second-oldest male
to do so, behind Roger Federer. However, as the world
celebrated the clock striking midnight on Tuesday,
the 33-year-old quietly achieved something no tennis
player has accomplished. Nadal is the ﬁrst player in
history to rank at No. 1 in three separate decades. After
ﬁrst attaining the No. 1 spot on the ATP rankings in Au-
gust 2008, Nadal has taken part in an ongoing wrestle
with Federer and Novak Djokovic for the accolade.
Sydney: A new decade
of tennis begins this
month at the Austral-
ian Open and change
is in the air. There is
new leadership behind
the scenes and several
new, exciting faces on
the courts. But while
the likes of Daniil
Medvedev, Alexander
Zverev, Dominic Thi-
em, Stefanos Tsitsipas
and Denis Shapovalov
go into the new year
with high hopes, in
this era, at least, the
more things seem to
change, the more they
stay the same.
In 2010, the top three
seeds at Melbourne
Park were Roger
Federer, Rafael Nadal
and Novak Djokovic.
In 2020, only the order
has changed, with Na-
dal top of the pile,
ahead of Djokovic and
Federer.Their longev-
ity is as much a rea-
son for their success
as their talent and
work-rate.
Venus out of Brisbane
International with injury
Nadal becomes first player to rank
No 1 in three separate decades
Venus Williams
has pulled out of
the upcoming Bris-
bane International
after suffering a ‘set-
back’ in training, the
former world num-
ber one said on
Wednesday.
Williams, 39, was
set to join world
number one Ash Bar-
ty, Karolina Pliskova
and Naomi Osaka in
a strong field at the
Queensland Tennis
Centre from Jan. 6-12
and the organizers
said they would an-
nounce a wildcard to
take her place in the
draw.
“Unfortunately, I
won’t be starting my
season in Brisbane
due to an unexpected
setback during my
training,” Venus, a
seven-times Grand
Slam winner who
was handed a wild-
card for the event,
said in a statement.

Kota: What will it take
to improve state of af-
fairs in Kota’s JK Lon
hospital?The question
begs the answer as de-
spite hitting national
headlines for more
than 100 deaths of
children last month,
frequent visits by po-
litical bigwigs and
senior state govern-
ment officials, things
are going on as usual.
Children continue
to suffer and succumb
to their illness. An in-
fant girl, just four
days old, died on
Wednesday. Her fami-
ly accused hospital
staff of callousness.
They claim that when
they left the hospital at 9
am in the morning, the
girl was fine. However,
within two hours, her
condition deteriorated
and she died. Accord-
ingtothem,theguards
prevented them from
entering the hospital
when they were going
to see the girl in ward.
Two days ago, prin-
cipal secretary Vaib-
hav Galeria held a
meeting with hospital
administration and
instructed them to
improve things. CM
Ashok Gehlot had
also called for proper
care but to no avail.
Hospital staff can be
seenusingheatertokeep

newborns are facing
chillywindsandfreezing
temperature in the ward
because windows can’t
be shut as the panes are
broken. In Gynaecology
ward unit E, a curtain is
being used to protect the
children from cold wave.
When newly appoint-
ed superintendent of
hospital, Dr Suresh
Chand Dulara was
asked about insensitiv-
ity for not providing
heater in newborns’
wards, he expressed in-
ability to give reason.
However, he said that if
the staff room has heat-
er, the same would also
be provided to the chil-
dren and their mothers.
But, this does leave a
question mark on the
state government’s
claim that things have
improved in last one
yearcomparedtothefive
years preceding to it.

Kartikey Dev Singh
Jaipur:Whenrenowned
British author David
Gemmell penned the
words -Trust your in-
stincts, and make judge-
ments on what your
heart tells you. The
heartwillnotbetrayyou
- for his book titled “Leg-
end”, he probably would
not have envisaged that
the simple words would
hold true to most lead-
ers in the world. Over
seven thousand kilo
meters south-east of
Britain, one leader
has already been liv-
ing by these words as
his life’s philosophy. It
is the little acts that
make or break a per-
son, and Chief Minis-
ter Ashok Gehlot has
certainly ensured that
not his but the people
that he can help, get
the utmost benefit out
of his own actions.
Let us rewind to the
bone-chilling night of
December 31, when
weary of the plight of
the poor, CM decided to
see for himself how
they fared in the state
run “Ren-basera”.
While Gehlot distrib-
uted blankets to the
needy who were shiv-
ering in biting cold
inside the tents too,
the Chief Minister,
known for his atten-
tion to detail, came
across a child - Loke-
sh - with just one year.
Curious, Gehlot ques-
tioned about the child
and was informed that
hehadadeformitysince
birth wherein the entire
ear had not developed.
Pained over hearing the
child’s travails, Gehlot
immediately ordered
Jaipur Collector to
provide for the child’s
plastic surgery which
will enable him to
hear better.
The Chief Minister
also gave a balm of re-
lief to a fifty-six year
old man - Brijlal -
whose leg broke in an
accident but he was
unable to get it treated.
Within hours, since
CM’s orders, Lokesh
was taken to Sawai
Man Singh hospital on
Wednesday morning
wherein doctors con-
ducted MRI and odeo-
metric tests, following
which process of plastic
surgery has been initi-
ated.
Similarly, Brijlal has
also been admitted and
is undergoing treatment
for his broken leg.
If all goes well,
Lokesh and Brijlal,
will soon be able to
live a healthy and
prosperous life.

Jodhpur: Home Min-
ister Amit Shah will
reach Jodhpur on Fri-
day to start a public
awareness pro-
gramme being organ-
ised to clear the mis-
conceptions of people
regarding the Citizen-
ship Amendment Act.
It will be the only pro-
gramme organised
regarding the matter
in the state. Most of
the Pakistani migrants
live in western Ra-
jasthan, so the visit of
Shah is being consid-
ered a very important
step in political circles.
In view of the visit
of Amit Shah, Police
Commissioner Praful-
la Kumar and DCPP
Chandra reviewed the
necessary security ar-
rangements. On the
other hand, BJP is
also busy with the
preparations for Amit
Shah’s visit. As part of
the programme to be
held on Friday, BJYM
Swachh Bharat Samiti
carried out an invita-
tion vehicle rally on
Wednesday, which
started from Pratham
Puliya Chopasni Hous-
ing Board.

ingthepublicawareness

the gathering in the
ground of Adarsh Vidya

in Kamla Nehru Nagar.
Earlier, the event was
scheduled to be held in
Jaipur, but it was
shifted to Jodhpur due
to the residence of
more than 90 per cent
of Hindu migrants in

New Delhi: Union
Minister for Informa-
tion and broadcasting
and Delhi’s election
in-charge for Bharati-
ya Janata Party for
Delhi assembly polls
Prakash Javadekar
launched a scathing
attack on AAP and
Congress while accus-
ing them of inciting
violence in the na-
t i o n a l C a p i t a l
against Citizenship
Amendment Act.
The minister assert-
ed that the violence re-
lated to Citizenship
Amendment Bill that
happened in Delhi are-
as like Jamia, Seelam-
pur and Jama Masjid
cannot be forgiven.
“In Jamia, Con-
gress’ Asib Khan and
AAP Amanatullah
Khan delivered incit-
ing speeches like bur-
qa will be banned.
They spread disinfor-
mation. The law is to
give citizenship to the
people and not take
citizenship away, “
stated Javadekar.
“We will bring out
the truth, fight is be-
tween anarchists and
those who opposed it.
Our agenda would be
wholesome develop-
ment of Delhi. AAP
strangulated the neck
of municipal corpora-
tions attempt of devel-
opment work. Rs 900
crores were not given.
Today, people of Delhi
are surprised that AAP
slept through all these
4.5 years and remaining
six months they have
doled out schemes, “
added the minister.
“Kaam kare koi
topi pehne koi (work
is done by someone
else and the credit is
taken by a different
individual),” said the
minister while blam-
ing the AAP govern-
ment for taking credit
of work done by BJP
ruled corporations.
Mumbai: A special
court here has per-
mitted a consortium
of 15 banks led by the
State Bank of India
(SBI) to utilise mova-
ble assets of former
liquor baron Vijay
Mallya towards re-
payment of his debt.
The assets, com-
prising financial se-
curities like shares of
the United Breweries
Holdings Ltd (UBHL),
were attached by the
special Prevention of
Money Laundering
Act (PMLA) court in
2016 when it declared
Mallya a proclaimed
offender. Under provi-
sions of the Criminal
Procedure Code, a court
orders attachment of a
person’s movable assets
after he or she has been
declared a proclaimed
offender.
A person against
whom a warrant has
been issued can be de-
clared a proclaimed of-
fender if the court be-
lieves that he or she has
absconded or is evading
execution of warrant.
The consortium of
banks earlier filed an
application before the
special court, seeking
release of Mallya’s
movable assets to uti-
lise them for repay-
ment of loans given to
him. Senior counsel Ra-
jeev Patil, appearing for
the consortium, said the
specialcourtonTuesday
lifted the attachment on
the movable assets. The
court has, however,
stayed its order till
January 18 to enable
the parties concerned
to approach the Bom-
bay HC in appeal.
