Respect is for Bharat Mata alone

4 hours ago  
News / Mid-Day/ News  
I recommend a simple exercise for anyone who loudly proclaims how much Indians respect women. A lot of people do this routinely, running their own private 'Incredible India' campaigns for visitors from foreign lands, in much the same way that we have conned millions of foreigners into assuming we are a peace-loving nation of vegetarians. To these dubious ambassadors, I suggest the following: Follow a female Indian journalist on Twitter. The newspaper, magazine or TV channel she works for is irrelevant, so focus on gender alone. Take a day or two to evaluate the kind of messages this journalist you follow receives, especially if she makes the mistake of airing an opinion. You will learn that, in India's version of 2019, women must be seen, not heard on social media. First, there will be men who respond to anything these women say with inane counter arguments, because mansplaining is a national pastime and facts are unimportant. Sooner or later, the arguments will give way to insults, a..

Western Railway installs half a roof at Dadar bridge

an hour ago  
News / Mid-Day/ National  
The BMC bridge at Dadar railway station has got half a roof, exactly like the one at Elphinstone at the time of the stampede. While the Western Railway has built a roof on its part of the bridge along with repairing the staircases, the Central Railway managers seem clueless about their role. The result is half the bridge being sheltered, and half of it open to the sun and rain. Despite closed-door eight-hour-long meetings with all stakeholders, including the state government and BMC teams chaired by Railway Minister Piyush Goyal for effective coordination and working, the ground realities remain much the same, with the Dadar bridge awaiting another tragedy. Famously known as the Phool Market bridge With no shade on half the bridge, commuters tend to crowd and rush towards the sheltered side that falls under the Western Railway. "This is exactly what had happened at Elphinstone which led to a stampede. Why can't the railways work as one unit instead of working in silos," SH Gupta, me..

A resident of Alibaug has urged the Bombay High Court to ban the 'derogatory' and 'humiliating' phrase 'Alibaug se aaya hai kya?' meaning 'Are you a fool?'. As per the plea, the phrase is used commonly in Maharashtra to address someone who is considered 'foolish' or naive. PIL filedThe Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed by Rajendra Thakur, a resident of Satirje village in Alibaug. His father, Madhukar Thakur, is a former Congress MLA. In his plea, Thakur has said the phrase is 'unfair' and 'humiliating' as it projected people of Alibaug as 'illiterates'. Thakur's plea states that Alibaug is a well-to-do place, a major tourist attraction, and has several 'good schools' and a high literacy rate. The plea was mentioned earlier this week before a bench of Chief Justice Naresh Patil and Justice N M Jamdar. It is likely to be taken up for hearing after two weeks.

The bridge collapse at CSMT seems to have sent other public infrastructure developing agencies into a tizzy. While the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has decided to conduct the structural audits of its flyovers in Mumbai, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has asked its engineering department to visit the bridges/FOBs under their jurisdiction for an inspection. "We will begin the audit of the flyovers that are with MSRDC in Mumbai and a report will be prepared soon. Expert opinion will also be sought from the IIT engineers and if any repair work needs to be done, it will be taken up immediately," said an MSRDC official. He added that the crucial Sion Circle flyover will also be shut down for traffic in a few days "for repair work related to expansion joints and bearings." It will be shut for around two months. The Mumbai Entry Point Limited - the toll collection agency appointed by MSRDC at five entry points to Mumbai - carries out th..

We need to take the drug malaise head-on

4 hours ago  
News / Mid-Day/ News  
Following the diktat of the former Police Commissioner Subodh Jaiswal, DGP of Maharashtra, the Mumbai police demolished around 259 paan beedi shops near schools and colleges in the city with the civic body in the last two months. The demolition signifies step 2 of the city police's drive against drugs. Step 1 was registration of drug-related cases. If, as an official said to this paper, the paan-beedi shops play a major role, with students starting with tobacco and cigarettes and then moving to drugs, this action is welcome and a vital cog in the clean-up wheel. We hope that along with this action, there are plenty of deterrents for youngsters to fall into the drug trap. Workshops at educational institutes must highlight the danger of addiction. This message cannot be reiterated enough and schools and colleges must never take their feet off the gas pedal when it comes to preventive measures. Parents, too, must learn to identify signs and symptoms that their children may be taking dr..

BMC awards contract to revamp Borivali civic hospital for Rs 481 crore

2 hours ago  
News / Mid-Day/ National  
The delay in the reconstruction of the civic-run Bhagwati Hospital at Borivali, will now cost R181 crore more than the initial estimation of R300 crore. The hospital, which was planned for 1,000 beds, will also be downsized to 500 beds, due to the rise in cost. After years of delay, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) last week gave the contract to revamp the Harilal Bhagwati Hospital, Borivali for Rs 481 crore. This is because no one came forward when the tender was floated. Overnight in 2013, patients at the hospital were shifted to a new building, as the old building was dilapidated. The staff members were transferred to Babasaheb Ambedkar Municipal hospital, also called the Kandivali Shatabdi hospital. Since then, BMC has been planning to revamp the hospital into a super multi-specialty hospital. 'No takers for tenders'Talking to mid-day, a senior BMC official said, "We have been re-tendering the development project for years but no one came forward. This led to the esca..

Amazon Bestseller: Reminiscences of a Stock Operator - Edwin Lefevre

2 years ago  
Shopping / Amazon/ Financial Books  
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is adapted from a series of Saturday Evening Post articles written by Edwin Lefevre in the 1920s. The book narrates Livermore's ascent from a "Boy Plunger" to the most influential speculator on Wall Street. While much of the book is devoted to Livermore's experiences, a larger part of the book deals with trading wisdom and rules that Livermore imparts through Lefevre. Years later, many trading and investing books repeat the very same rules first enunciated by Livermore in Reminiscences, such as: go with the trend, no stock is too high to buy or too low to sell, let your winners run and cut your losses short, make your own decisions and market history repeats itself. Interestingly, Livermore frequently violated his own rules and usually lost money as a result. The enduring appeal to the book rests in Livermore's view that the market is made up of people and the excesses of the market reflect mass psychology and the mistakes of individuals are frequently..
