Modi appoints Google to execute ‘Kashi Vision’ for Varanasi

Aug 8, 2014 by Ambika Mahajan Leave a Comment

“Kashi Vision” Gets Google And Facebook Consultants, Thanks To PM Modi

Modi’s plans to revive and fund Varanasi for pilgrimage rejuvenation and tourism are known to the world. Now the Indian Prime Minister has roped in Google, Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg and other tech giants for turning Kashi into the hub of culture.

The Economic Times has reported: “Among those said to be working on the project is Google, apart from professionals and consultants engaged in identifying tourism hotspots in and around Varanasi, beautification, landscaping, mapping the city for better movement and security.”

With sewage and lack of maintenance being among the major problems of Varanasi, it was expected of Modi that he would do something phenomenal for the city that also happens to be his Lok Sabha constituency.

The maiden Modi budget had allocated an Rs 6,300-plus crore fund, exclusively for the ‘Namami Ganga’ plan. Of the money, Rs 2037 crores are assigned for the river, while Rs 4200 crore has been announced for developing navigation corridor in coming six years. Also, the budget had allocated Rs 100 crore for the development of the ghats and bettering of the waterfronts.

Understandably, a good chunk of the money will be given to Varanasi. As a part of his efforts, Modi has coined ‘Kashi Vision’, which is expected to have its launch anytime.

Modi had tweeted, “I will represent Varanasi in Lok Sabha & I look forward to this wonderful opportunity to serve Ganga Maa & work for Varanasi’s development.”

He had further posted, “India will become a Jagat Guru when Varanasi becomes Rashtra Guru. Lets work together to create a developed Varanasi”

Varanasi might soon see some happening with other makeover schemes that are underway.

Strangely, there is no mention of what Google or Facebook experts would do for the new ‘Kashi Vision’, but given Modi’s inclination to technology, social media will form a major part of his plans.

‘Entertainment’ movie review and box-office collection prediction

Aug 7, 2014 by Sohini M Leave a Comment

Bollywood film “Entertainment” starring Akshay Kumar and Tamannaah Bhatia is all set to get a wide release worldwide on August 8, 2014.

Apart from the lead actors, Akshay Kumar and Tamannaah Bhatia, there are veterans like Mithun Chakraborty, Johnny Lever, Krishna Abhishek, while Prakash Raj and Sonu Sood would play the villains.

Promoted as a “Woof” story, the plot revolves around the dog named “Entertainment”, who has been declared the heir of property by Akshay’s father! What follows is a romantic and comic turn of twists, where Akshay tries his best to defeat the dog.

Directed by debutant duo Sajid-Farhad, the movie has been produced by Ramesh S. Taurani of Tips films along with Jayantilal Gada. The movie was earlier titled as “It’s Entertainment”, which the makers have changed to “Entertainment”.

For the first time in a movie, the name of the Dog “Junior” will be appearing ahead of Akshay Kumar.

The screen count for “Entertainment” is not yet confirmed, but should be more than 3,000. With Salman Khan Starrer “Kick” going strong at the box office, the Akshay Kumar starrer may have to suffer some dent.

The first day collections of “Entertainment” should be anywhere more than 10 crores, given the large level promotions that have been done. The movie needs to get a strong word of mouth to continue impressively over the weekend.

With a “Dog” being portrayed as the hero, many of the animal circles have expressed their happiness over the trailer, which was revealed by Union Minister and animal activist Meneka Gandhi herself.

India vs England 4th Test: Star Sports live streaming info & Cricket live score

Aug 7, 2014 by Marian Dumitri Leave a Comment

With England making a striking comeback in the 3rd test, India goes to the field with much selection dilemma as they face the home team for the 4th Test.

The match is scheduled on Thursday, Aug. 7,2014, at 3.30 p.m. IST at Old Trafford, Manchester.

The toss, team news and squads will be updated here shortly.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his boys have some serious considerations here, whether some off-form players should be retained. One expects some changes in the field, with positive chances of opener Gautam Gambhir returning to the field.

Watch live broadcast of the match on the respective channels in the following countries.

· India- Star Sports
· United Kingdom- Sky Sports
· South Africa- SuperSport
· Sri Lanka- Ten Sports
· Middle East- OSN
· Australia- Fox Sports

Watch the live streaming of the 4th test at Manchester only on StarSports.com official website here.

Also, given the poor form, Shikhar Dhawan might have to be axed out, which might make space for off-spinner R Ashwin to return. Then there’s Rohit Sharma, who’s fate remains in the clouds, especially when he has done nothing to uplift the series.

While India has their chance, given the series has been leveled, they have to deal with a team that doesn’t look as promising for now.

Aswin, with two test hundreds to the credit, may seem to be the perfect option to bring on, and Dhoni might just bring as the second spin option.

Sadly, if the batting line and undisciplined bowling was not enough, India also has some serious worries in the fielding department, where catches were dropped seamlessly.

Again, despite the poor form, Gautam Gambhir might have a chance today. There might be some consideration regarding Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has been doing well with the fitness. In most likely conditions, coach Duncan Fletcher will leave the decision till the toss.

Follow the live scores at cricinfo.com here.

More woes for India comes from Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara, both lacking form, but to their good luck, chances of replacements are rare, thanks to limited replacement choices.

For England, Alastair Cook and Ian Bell got the form back, and with the win of 266 runs in the last test, one expects limited chance. Once again, Moeen Ali is around, and Anderson will be available.

Watch all the highlights videos here.

Teams:

India: MS Dhoni, Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Stuart Binny, R Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Shami, Pankaj Singh, Varun Aaron, Naman Ojha, Gautam Gambhir, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishwar Pandey,

England: Alastair Cook, Moeen Ali, Ian Bell, Stuart Broad, Chris Jordan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, Steve Finn, James Anderson, Gary Ballance, Jos Buttler (wk), Sam Robson.

Pak vs SL 1st Test 2014: Ten Cricket, PTV Sports live streaming info & score

Aug 7, 2014 by Sohini M Leave a Comment

For the first test that sparked off on August 6, 2014 at Galle International Stadium, Pakistan shined back to action on the first day, much thanks to Younis Khan, who remained on the line at 133.

Misbah-ul-Haq had chosen to bat, and Pakistan soon found itself out of control with both openers leaving within the first six overs.

Watch the live streaming of fixtures, for both ODI and Tests on PTV official channel in Pakistan. The live streaming can be watched on PTV Official website in Pakistan at http://sports.ptv.com.pk/LiveStreaming.asp or HERE.

Fans around the world can keep an eye on ESPN official website for ball-by-ball commentary of the tests and ODIs.

Watch the live broadcast of the match on the following channels in respective countries.

Pakistan – PTV and Geo Sports
Sri Lanka- CSN and MTV Sports
India- Ten Sports
UK- Star Life OK

Much to the thanks of Younis Khan, the team revived as he continued action all by himself to score that massive century.

At 19 for 2, Pakistan probably had it all wrong, till the time Younis and Azhar Ali revived the game. Younis teamed up well with skipper Misbah and Asad Shafiq.

Sri Lanka will be happy with Rangana Herath who did manage to get the Pakistan skipper and Azhar Ali, but couldn’t get hold of Younis, who remained unstoppable. Also for the home team, Dhammika Prasad was in form.

Azhar did his part of the struggle, but had some great cover drives fours worth checking for. While Prasad did maintain the pressure, the boundaries did help Pakistan gain some momentum.

It’s not surprising to see Younis take the time he needs, but he keep using his sweep action to ensure the spinners did feel the heat.

Dilruwan Perera must have checked on those successful runs in consecutive deliveries. With Parera, it was 48 off the 43 balls for Younis. When Younis was at 68, Mahela Jayawardene got hands on the catch, but sadly dropped the same.

Shafiq came in much later but didn’t spare the bowlers with the bad deliveries by any teams. For Pakistan, the rotating strike remained one of the highlights of the day.

At the end of the day, it was Shafiq at 55* and Younis at 133*, with the total score at 261 for 4 for Pakistan.

On the other side of the world, India will take on England in the 4th Test. Follow the Ind vs Eng live scores here.
