Domestic match referees and umpires too join the initiative

oung cricketers (who probably never had anything to do with Martin), former India captain Sourav Ganguly and reigning IPL champions Chennai Super Kings are among those to have pitched in, ensuring that Martin's family doesn't lose sleep over paucity of funds.Where the Board is concerned, it has merely given Rs 5 lakh from the Benevolent Fund, which covers First-Class cricketers who have played a stipulated number of matches.It's shocking, but this is how the Board is functioning nowadays under the supervision of the two Supreme Court-appointed Administrators, Vinod Rai and Diana Edulji.That's not all. Awfully disappointing too has been the silence of the three office-bearers - C.K. Khanna, Amitabh Choudhary and Anirudh Chaudhry - on the Martin issue. Even as the Board of Control for Cricket in India continues to be indifferent towards Jacob Martin, who remains on ventilator support in a Vadodara hospital, match referees and umpires who officiate on the domestic circuit have come together to assist the former India batsman's family.Where gestures go, the initiative taken by match referee Rajiv Seth and umpires M. Kuppuraj and K.N. Ramesh is unlikely to be forgotten in a hurry.Martin, who suffered grave lung and liver injuries, late on December 27, is gradually improving at the Sterling Hospital. "Twenty per cent of the infection in his lungs is still there," wife Khyati told The Telegraph around 10.00 p.m. on Friday. Khyati added: "Jacob's condition is much better, but we'd like him to be quickly out of the ICU as the risk of more infections is strong. He continues to be on the ventilator, though not right through the day and night. "According to the doctors, Jacob's injuries are no longer life-threatening, but the road to recovery would necessarily be slow." Expressing gratitude to all who have come forward with help, Khyati said: "The family is indebted to every single individual and organisation. I wasn't aware that Jacob had so many well-wishers." Exactly three decades ago, Seth was unlucky to miss out on the India selection as Vivek Razdan got picked for the 1989-1990 tour of Pakistan under Krishnamachari Srikkanth. In more recent times, he has been on the Board's panel of match referees. A medium pacer, Seth played for Bengal and Odisha (then Orissa). Earlier in the week, Seth, Kuppuraj and Ramesh were in Vadodara officiating in a Cooch Behar match. On hearing about Martin's condition, they decided to visit the hospital and make personal enquiries about the 46-year-old. Seth and the umpires met Khyati and an aunt of Martin's, besides Sanjay Patel, a former secretary of the Board and the Baroda Cricket Association. "Once the trio left the hospital, I got a message from Rajiv that he and the umpires wished to contribute towards Jacob's treatment. I gave them Khyati's bank account details and contributions started to pour in. "No one will forget the spontaneous humanitarian gesture on the part of Rajiv and the umpires. "Neither Rajiv nor the umpires had ever met Jacob, but they felt the fraternity had to lend support and to do so quickly. "As we speak, the initiative started by the trio has already seen contributions in excess of Rs 3.5 lakh from the match referees and umpires who figure in a dedicated WhatsApp group," Patel informed this Reporter.

Taxman tells CCD founder not to sell his stake in Mindtree

ccording to Section 281B of the income tax act, "Where, during the pendency of any proceeding for the assessment of any income or for the assessment or reassessment of any income which has escaped assessment, the assessing officer is of the opinion that for the purpose of protecting the interests of the revenue if it is necessary to do so, he may, with previous approval.... attach provisionally any property belonging to the assessee."At present, Siddhartha is in talks with various PE investors and technology firms to sell his 21 per cent stake in Mindtree, triggering concerns of management change or a hostile takeover as the founders are not willing to shed their stakes.Speculation is rife that L&T Infotech is eyeing the stake and discussions have taken place between the two parties. Apart from L&T Infotech, KKR is understood to be in the race. NEC Corp and Barings are also reported to be interested in buying the stake.During the third-quarter earnings call recently, the management skirted questions on the speculation, saying it remains committed to delivering growth for the company.The promoters of Mindtree - which include N. Krishnakumar, Subroto Bagchi, N.S. Parthasarathy and Rostow Ravanan - hold a little over 13 per cent in the company. An acquisition of the founders' stakes assumes significance as the acquirer needs to hold more than 25 per cent to have board representation and to reach the trigger point for an open offer.Analysts said the stake sale plans of Siddhartha is likely to receive a setback now as he will only have around 16.5 per cent stake to offload post this prohibitory order.Market circles feel the development could put pressure on the Mindtree stock when trading resumes on Monday. On Friday, the stock had closed with losses of almost 3 per cent, or Rs 23.50, at Rs 885.95. L&T Infotech, too, settled in the red, lower by 2.10 per cent at Rs 1,713.35.Mindtree, in the December 2018 quarter, had posted a 35.1 per cent rise in consolidated net profit and a 29.7 per cent jump in revenues at Rs 1,787.2 crore over the year-ago period. It had also exuded confidence that its January-March numbers will be better than the just-concluded quarter. Dailyhunthttps://www.avitop.com/cs/members/suddirbaabu.aspx

Starting young: Meet professionals buying homes before 30

Many are not averse to new markets as long as the promise of returns is high; they are willing to buy in one location and live in another, and are increasingly looking at value-for-money and ease-of-maintenance over frills. Driving demand Ankita Shah, 27, a software engineer from Powai, says she grew up believing that a home was the best kind to investment, and so it had been a lifelong dream. As soon as she was able, she put a down-payment on a home — but one in Mulund. Having grown up in an area with no railway station, the one thing she wanted was proximity to one, she says, laughing. She used apps to help her house-hunt. 'Popup alerts from the apps helped me keep track of offers and discounts,' she says. 'I wanted to keep to my budget. After looking at about 25 properties, I found my dream home in Mulund and moved here in January.' The new house is a 1BHK with no pool or gym, but it allows her a smooth commute and it's in a good neighbourhood, she says. Siddharth Lokesh, 28, a sales executive who grew up in a 1BHK in Ulhasnagar, wanted to move to a larger flat, in a more developed neighbourhood. After months of searching, he found a 3BHK in Kalyan that he could afford. He's taken a slightly larger loan than he had initially planned, but he has the kind of location he wanted. 'Moreover, I wanted to own a house of my own and make my parents proud,' he says. 'I saved on brokerage as I connected with the house owners directly, via a website. I did a lot of price comparisons online too, for places like Kalyan, Dombivli, Badlapur and Ambernath. I finally sealed the deal in January.' 'Today's young professionals are not just earning better than the generations before them, they're also chasing their dreams, setting up their own ventures, and hence are able to buy homes early,' says Arvind Nandan, executive director for research at real-estate advisory Knight Frank India. 'Getting to know everything about a project directly on smartphone apps is helping make buying decisions easier too.' One thing that does concern the young buyer, in an age of greater transparency and ease-of-access, is the confusion around new norms and levies such as the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Saurav Ojha, 28, an entrepreneur from Delhi who bought his first home in Noida in April 2017, says he was informed in June that he still had GST payments pending. 'I do not understand how this tax system works, but I had to arrange for the money and pay it,' he says. 'I hope RERA brings in more transparency about things like processes and jargon, because the technical terms and confusing conditions act to distance the customer from the industry. Hopefully this will in the next few years.' Dailyhunthttp://www.tripntale.com/profile/134348

How Chennai's Sanah Sharma is bringing hardcore Science concepts into her fashion line

So how did this Chennai-based, Pearl Academy alumnus get on the road to discovering her famous Planar Flux technique in design? She explains, "A major part of sustainability is dependant on the design and in India, everyone lives in a misconception that sustainability depends on the type of material we use in design such as Jute, Khadhi, Tencel and Rayon. This idea of the Planar Flux occurred to me in my final year of college when I leaning towards researching sustainability. This technique draws inspiration from Mathematical Topology - these concepts of multidimensionality were applied to fabric consumption and garment construction. In simple words, I infused human-kinetics and mathematical topology to formulate the Planar Flux technique. This technique has served me well and eliminates the 15% wastage that is usually generated in garment construction. Planar Flux was also adopted in the syllabus by the Iowa State University. So far, so good for me, but I won't stop working till this becomes a big deal in India as well." Ideas don't just pop and bloom out of nowhere. It takes time and effort! In light of this, Sanah explains how she invested her time and did all her homework before Planar Flux was fully threshed out, "When I started off with this technique, I was looking at the sustainability aspect of it, and initially, everything I designed was not zero-waste. There was a certain amount of waste and I would estimate the wastage to probably be 5%. But anyway, I was looking to be mentored by a tutor and designer from the Royal College of Art. He was a source of inspiration and when he saw samples of my work, he seemed pretty darned by it (in a good way). That is when I knew that there are possibilities of higher demand for the products I designed. Post this, I read a lot of research papers on Physics and Maths and tried applying it till I got to the zero-waste technique in designing. I further went on to win the International Zero-waste Design Competition by Faculty of Design, at the 5th International Scientific Conference for ALICE held in the City of Design, Ljubljana. That was thrilling and it expanded my customer base and reach on an international level. But if you ask me I would definitely want to reach a wider audience here in India," she adds. While thinking of the future and what it has in store might intrigue or overwhelm most, Sanah has got it all planned and figured out. This is what she had to say, "I am currently setting up my online store and I am hoping that it will be up and running in the near future. I am planning to collaborate with institutes and do workshops on sustainability more often than usual because I like teaching. My mentor and I have plans and collaborations to look forward to and I am super-excited for everything that this year holds for me."

Creating a bamboo heaven at Koonammavu

There are a lot of advantages for growing a bamboo garden; the main reason being plenty of fresh air. The garden will be known as Koonammavu's oxygen hub in the future," he says. All 34 varieties of the shoots were collected from different states. Other than just giving an exotic touch to any garden, bamboo has a lot of benefits. While Bambusa Tulda collected from Bengaluru is mainly used in the paper pulp industry, Bambusa Vulgaris is used for making huts, furniture and musical instruments. Apart from this, they are also used for medicinal purposes. The extract of the leaf of Vulgaris is used to treat tuberculosis. Bamboos such as Bambusa Polumorpha and Phyllostachys Parvifolia are edible. Another variety is Bambusa blumeana, which is mainly used for making furniture, kitchen utensils and also to prevent soil erosion. The bamboo garden at the school is already giving positive vibes to students. "We are planning to grow more varieties. For this, I have contacted Kerala Bamboo Research Centre at Peechi and they have assured to help us," said Fr Poulose. The school has a nature club in which students take the initiative to plant trees and look after them. Apart from the bamboo garden, they have also set up a paddy field and has a herbal garden. Paddy field was set up so students can experience and understand the effort put by the farmers in growing crops and also to give them a practical knowledge rather than just a theoretical knowledge. It was a whole new experience for students to get into the field and to do something different. Dailyhunthttp://actionangler.net/ActivityFeed/MyProfile/tabid/62/UserId/158797/Default.aspx
