Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hailed the country's response to his 'Fit India' initiative, saying that he did not anticipate the kind of response it garnered from the country.
Addressing the nation on the 44th edition of the monthly radio programme, 'Mann Ki Baat', he said, "My dear countrymen, especially my young friends, just a couple of months ago, when I mentioned 'Fit India, I did not think it would draw such a good response; that a large number of people would come forward to support it. When I say 'Fit India', I believe that the more we play, the more we will inspire the country to come out and play."

Yavatmal embraces 'farm pool' scheme with enthusiasm
Representational Image
Maharashtra's drought-prone Yavatmal has set an example for other districts by constructing more than 6,000 'farm pools' by cultivators to meet the irrigation demand in the district. An official claimed that by digging these pools, around 6,000 hectares of land will get "protected irrigation", thus raising hopes for a better rabi crop.
A farm pool or pond is dug out to harvest rainwater and store it for future use. Since the inception of the state government's ambitious 'farm pool on demand' scheme two years back, the farmers in this district, located in the Vidarbha region, have constructed 6,200 farm pools, the official said.
Agriculture is the principal occupation in Yavatmal, which had earlier been in news over a spate of farmer suicides. The district is spread over an area of of13,51,966 hectares, of which 9,60,500 hectares is under crop production. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the rainfall in the state has decreased in..

Delhi Metro: South Campus, Moti Bagh among 10 stations renamed

Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus and Sir Vishweshwaraiah Moti Bagh stations on the Delhi Metro Pink Line did not carry the name of the two personalities in the original plan and they were rechristened on the recommendations of a panel, which had suggested the renaming of eight other names on the network, according to sources.
Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus station, named after the freedom fighter, social worker and educationist, is a part of the Pink Line corridor inaugurated in mid-March, and Sir Vishweshwaraiah Moti Bagh station, expected to open soon, intends to fortify the legacy of the legendary engineer-scholar.
Both places are among the 10 stations whose names were changed following recommendations of the committee set up for renaming metro stations, the sources said.
"The other stations include Tughlakabad (changed to Tughlakabad Station), Okhla (to Harkesh Nagar Okhla), Badarpur (to Badarpur Border) on Violet Line; Okhla-Phase III (to Okhla NSIC) on Ma..
'Mumbai, is the b*****d child no one wants'
Vikramaditya Motwane. Pic/Sayed Sameer Abedi
Vikramaditya Motwane, who is readying for the release of his upcoming film Bhavesh Joshi: Superhero, says the movie is about a b*****d child. Except, the protagonist is not a person, but a city. This city. With star kid Harshvardhan Kapoor playing Bhavesh, the film uses a superhero premise to discuss the water mafia, and what happens when vigilantes take matters in their own hands. The story started off as one film about a man, keen to take care of his street, but changed gears somewhere.
"I have been here 40 years, but my love for the city faded away when Bombay became Mumbai. I have mixed feelings about it now, although I can't live anywhere else. It's treated like a b****** child, which no one cares about. Everyone just wants to leech off it. People around the world take pride in where they live. Not us," says the director before he gets into the studio for a morning edit. At 41, Motwane is old enough to know that a superhero cannot sol..

Madhuri Dixit: Marathi films more appealing to youngsters now
Madhuri Dixit
Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit, who has made her debut in Marathi cinema with Bucket List, says the regional film industry has evolved in terms of content and production values, which has made it appealing to the young generation. Most young film industry aspirants who live in Mumbai, first target Bollywood instead of trying their luck in Marathi cinema. Asked about it, Madhuri told IANS: "If you want to try your luck in Marathi film, you have to be Marathi speaking. If you are not, then you tend to try your luck in Hindi cinema.
"Also, Marathi films (earlier) did not have the appeal we have today. It is more evolved and more appealing to the young generation. Technically, its production values are no less than a Hindi film."
She said films like Natsamrat, Court and Sairat have come and changed the scenario too.
"Now thanks to the subtitles, more people have access to Marathi films, and you never know how Marathi films will be more appreciated by people in future."

Mumbai chefs on why it's perfect time to pick their own spices and condiments
TimutAt: The Clearing House, Ballard Estate
Pastry chef Husna Jumani sources timut from the Northeast. Pic/Bipin Kokate
It's not often that you come across a dessert with pepper. It's for this reason that Husna Jumani, head pastry chef at The Clearing House, decided to experiment with the timut, the popular Nepalese pepper, in their Greek yoghurt pannacota. "I had already tried using other varieties of pepper, so I thought timut would be a great addition because the flavour is pronounced. It is spicy, with hints of grapefruit," says Jumani, who sources it from the Northeast.
However, it's an ingredient that can work either way, she warns. "If used with the right combinations, it can elevate the dish like no other. Else, it will overpower the other ingredients." Apart from being a tricky ingredient, it's also an acquired flavour. "When people eat it, they might not recognise it or might not realise it's a spice. It has a spicy yet fruity undertone."

Stephanie Rice: Social media is so superficial
Stephanie Rice
Former Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer Stephanie Rice, 29, who has 103,000 followers on Instagram and 130,000 on Twitter, has said that she hates people who call themselves 'social media influencers'. The reason she cited was that on most occasions their messages are contradictory and misleading.
"I hate the word "influencer" because I would never call myself an influencer, if I am able to be influential, that's a gift, but I don't try to be influential," Rice told Britain's daily The Daily Telegraph. The Australian swimmer, who won three gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, called the self-proclaimed social media stars hypocrites, especially when they post messages regarding healthy eating.
"I predict that probably in two years, a lot of influencers won't be influencers because one minute they're posting about something healthy and the next about junk food. And it's like, 'Well which one are you, who are you? I don't know you'. Social media is so superficial,..

Yusuf Pathan: Not surprised by Rashid Khan's knock vs Kolkata
Rashid Khan during his 34*
Long before Rashid Khan came to deliver another heady mix of leg-breaks and googlies in Friday's Qualifier 2, the Afghan treated a packed Eden Gardens to a breathtaking batting blitz.
Rashid Khan's 10-ball 34 lifted Hyderabad from a vulnerable 138-7 in the 19th over to a challenging 174-7 after the 20. The belligerent knock, which had four sixes and a couple of boundaries, may have stunned Kolkata but it didn't surprise his teammates.
Yusuf Pathan
"He's a very good cricketer, and in the Big Bash and other tournaments he's played, he's hit the fours and sixes to contribute with cameos," said Yusuf Pathan after Hyderabad's 13-run win. "The team have faith in Rashid's ability as a batsman, and that's why he was sent a slot higher [at No. 8, ahead of Bhuvneshwar Kumar]. In Chennai, he came and hit a couple of sixes. We are not surprised at all by what he did with the bat tonight [Friday]," he added.

Ban on abortions in Ireland set to end
The abortion campaign had gathered steam after an Indian-origin woman, Savita Halappanavar, died in 2012 after her requests to terminate a 17-week pregnancy were denied by the country. Pic/AFP
Counting begins in Ireland's historic referendum on abortion as exit polls showed an overwhelming vote in favour of liberalising some of the strictest laws in Europe. Friday's vote to repeal a ban in this traditionally Catholic country was predicted to win by a two-thirds majority.
An Irish Times poll of 4,000 said the "Yes" camp was leading by 68 per cent to 32 per cent. Another poll by national broadcaster RTE suggested an even bigger victory, with 69 per cent to 30 per cent backing reforms.
"Democracy in action. It's looking like we will make history tomorrow," Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, who backs the reform, said in a tweet. People over 65, however, voted mostly against overhauling the current legislation, which only allows terminations in cases where the mother's life is in danger.

Lalita Salve sex change saga: Here's what his surgery entailed
Lalita Salve
After years of waiting, Lalit Kumar Salve (born as Lalita) finally feels like a man inside and out. Contrary to common perception, Lalit has biologically always been a man but was born with underdeveloped genitals that appeared more like a vagina, due to which he had been declared a woman on birth. Yesterday, doctors at St George Hospital excavated the penis buried under his skin and elongated it, so he can finally urinate like a man.
mid-day had first broken the story on November 17, 2017, about the Beed constable's struggle to make the transformation from Lalita to Lalit.

Yesterday's surgery was the first phase in a series of procedures that will go on for a year and half, said Dr Rajat Kapur, a renowned plastic surgeon who led the operating team.

Big bucks for Bollywood's rising star Kartik Aaryan?
Kartik Aryan
In Bollywood, a successful film is followed by two things — an increase in fan following, and a fatter pay cheque. Rumours are rife that Kartik Aaryan, who enjoyed a hit in Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, has hiked his fee to a whopping R3 crore. It has been heard that when director Luv Ranjan, and producers Kumar Mangat and Abhishek Pathak approached him for the third instalment of their successful franchise, Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Aaryan quoted his new market price.
Still from Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
Said a trade source, "Kartik's remuneration for his earlier projects had rumouredly been R35 lakh. When they approached Kartik for Pyaar Ka Punchnama 3, they were shocked to hear his management agency ask for R3 crore. Luv and the Pathaks gave him his break with the Punchnama series, and then Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. Luv has been like his mentor. Since they consider Kartik their family, they are hoping to work out some kind of a solution."

Whitney Houston's cousin has slammed rapper Kanye West for buying photograph of late singer's drug-strewn bathroom to use it as the cover of an album that he is producing. In an interview to people.com, Damon Elliott spoke about the rapper's decision to spend $85,000 on a photograph that depicted Houston's bathroom covered in drug-covered spoons and drug paraphernalia for Pusha T's album "DAYTONA", which Kanye produced.
Elliott says he didn't find out about the album artwork until his daughter called him.
"(She was) frantic. She sent me this picture from the album cover and I immediately got sick to my stomach because it took me right back to six years ago," Elliot said.
"I was actually in shock because I'm in the music business," he continues, adding he had worked with Kanye, 40, on a Keyshia Cole song.
"I've watched the train wreck happening, but I didn't think he'd go this far in invading someone's family privacy," said Elliott, referencing Kanye's recent scanda..

While students from Maharashtra haven't featured in the CBSE's top ten rankers, that has not stopped them from savouring the end of what is perceived as an important and defining year for students in India.
Some of the high-scorers in the city tell us that this is just another year of school and not get too stressed about it. "Instead of getting bogged down by a long list of study material, students should stick to textbooks. No reference book will help if you haven't read the textbook thoroughly," said Arpit Singh, from DPS School, Nerul, who scored 98.6 per cent in the Science stream.
