mining activities 

Directorate of Mines and Geology 

(DMG) has issued order allowing 

HL Nathurmal Mines at Harvalem 

to restart its mining activities with 

annual iron ore production of 75,000 

metric tonnes (MT).

to start operations after obtaining all 

the requisite permissions including 

environmental clearance from Union 

Ministry of Environment and Forest 

(MoEF).Speaking to Herald, lease holder 

Harish Melvani said the order with 

production limit upto 75,000 metric tons 

per year is issued by the department.

have to prepare the Environment Impact 

Assessment (EIA) report. Once EC is 

obtained, the lease holder will have to 

seek consent to operate from Goa State 

Pollution Control Board (GSPCB). 

The mining lease is part of those 18 

leases, which do not fall within the 

ambit of Supreme Court order dated 

February 7, 2018, which had quashed 

and set aside second renewals granted 

to 88 mining leases.The mining 

operations in the State are shut since

1st Floor Panjim Residency, 

Panjim Goa-403001 

In the wake of almost ten per cent slide 

in arrival of international tourists in 

Goa during the ongoing season, the Goa 

government is undertaking various 

measures that include marketing the 

tourism potential of the coastal state 

aggressively at various forums. 

Tourism Minister Manohar 

Ajogankar Monday said the state 

government was hopeful that the 

trend will be reversed in the upcoming 

tourist season beginning post-monsoon. 

He blamed various factors like 

slowdown in economies worldwide for 

the dip in tourist footfall. 

"We are hopeful that things would 

surely improve by the next season 

which will kick off after monsoon. 

We have been involved into extensive 

marketing and showcasing of Goa 

across different destinations through 

travel marts, exhibitions and other 

events," the minister said. 

Beaches in Goa will be marked as 

"no swimming zones" tentatively from 

the first week of June when rains are 

expected to hit the state, he added. 

As per Tourism department data, the 

number of foreign chartered flights has 

gone down from around 1900 to 1500 in 

the ongoing tourist season. 

Destinations from Russia, a major 

contributor of tourists, have already 

wound up their chartered flights much

Sawant proves his mettle... 

but has task cut out 

On March 19, at 1.48 am, a minute after 

the national anthem was played at the 

Raj Bhavan, Dr. Pramod Sawant took 

oath as chief minister of Goa. 

This happened two days after the 

demise of the former chief minister 

Manohor Parrikar and many had 

written him off then saying he would 

not be able to fit into the former 

defence minister’s shoes. 

A two-time MLA who started as a 

karyakarta and steadily rose in rank 

and profile. proved his mettle within 

two months of taking charge. 

He spearhead the election campaign 

in the just-concluded bypolls and Lok 

Sabha polls wherein he gave his party 

a 4-2 victory. 

He was seen at every rally from 

Pernem to Canacona for Lok Sabha 

polls and gave equal time to bypolls in 

Shiroda, Mandrem, Mapusa and Panjim. 

This not only gave BJP the huge win 

but also made sure the government 

alliance government became more stable. 

The BJP number before bypoll was 14 

and with the support of Goa Forward 

3 and Independents 3 had formed a 

Dr. Pramod Sawant 

coalition government. 

On the other hand the Congress also 

had 14 and had support of one NCP 

MLA and would have got support from 

MGP’s Sudin Dhavalikar. 

The 3-1 victory in the by-poll meant, 

BJP became more stronger. 

“My government has become more 

stronger now,” Sawant stated. 

Asked whether he had any doubts 

about alliance partners in case he 

failed to get numbers in by-polls, 

Sawant shot back, "you should ask this 

to alliance partners, not me.” 

Major tasks ahead 

With by-polls over and all alliance 

partners now firmly in the saddle, 

Sawant will have to now match the 

expectations of the people. 

Employment and Revenue generation 

are some of the major tasks he has at hand. 

One has to remember, Sawant has 

taken charge when Model Code of 

Conduct was already in force and could 

not do much. 

However his litmus tests starts now. 

Sawant told a daily here that he will 

try his best to meet expectations. 

“I don’t know if I will be able to fill 

in the shoes of Manohar Parrikar, he 

was a very tall leader …It is a very 

big responsibility that the party has 

given me. I will try my best to fulfill it. 

I am what I am today because of him," 

Sawant said.

Goa looks for course 

correction as foreign tourists 

on decline 

before the end of the season, it said. 

According to a senior official of 

Tourism department, Goa attracts 

around 60 lakh domestic travellers and 

around four lakh international visitors 

per year, who arrive by chartered or 

scheduled flights. 

Meanwhile, Ajgaonkar said efforts 

are underway to boost international 

tourist footfall by allowing events 

like Sunburn Electronic Dance Music 

Festival. 

"There is no issue as far as visits 

of domestic tourists are concerned. 

Tourism department is largely looking 

at inviting high spending travellers 

who will be contributing to the 

economy of the state," he said. 

Tourism department has identified 

poor infrastructure and unclean 

beaches as main reasons for a drop in 

the number of international tourists. 

The minister said tourism 

department has engaged a beach 

cleaning agency which has been 

working round-the-clock to keep the 

shorelines clean. 

"We have also introduced a concept 

of reporting the piled garbage on 

the beaches on Whatsapp. If anyone 

reports about garbage lying strewn 

on the Whatsapp number of the 

department, immediate attention is 

given to clean it up," he said.

‘NaMoment’: How front pages reported Narendra 

Modi’s huge mandate for a second term 

All regional and national newspapers credited Modi for the BJP’s sweeping victory. 

As predicted by pollsters, the Bharatiya 

Janata Party-led National Democratic 

Alliance swept the Lok Sabha elections. 

As of 10.08 am on Friday, the Election 

Commission data said the BJP has won 

299 seats and is leading in four more 

while the Congress bagged 52 seats. 

Once all the results are declared, the 

NDA’s tally is likely to touch 351 while 

the United Progressive Alliance may be 

restricted at 92. 

“This is not Modi’s victory,” the 

prime minister said in his victory 

speech on Thursday at the BJP 

headquarters in New Delhi. “This is 

victory of honest people’s hope, this is 

a victory of youths who have walked on 

the path of 21st century with dreams.” 

But other BJP leaders like Rajnath 

Singh, Amit Shah, Sushma Swaraj, 

Suresh Prabhu and Ram Vilas Paswan 

credited Modi for the electoral triumph. 

The Hindustan Times called the 

landslide victory “NaMoment”. The 

daily listed three ways the saffron 

party achieved this feat – it said the 

BJP consolidated its strongholds, was 

flexible when it came to allying with 

regional parties, and cashed in on 

anti-incumbency sentiments in states 

like West Bengal and Odisha. The front 

page of the daily also included 

reactions from top Opposition leaders 

like Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee 

and Mayawati. 

“Chowkidar’s Chamatkar” read the 

headline on the front page of The Times 

of India. The daily said nationalism, 

Hindutva and welfare powered the BJP 

to this resounding victory. The “Modi 

factor” and the surgical strikes did 

wonders for the saffron party, according 

to the newspaper. The daily also said 

the Congress’ slogan “chowkidar chor 

hai” backfired and that the comments of 

Sam Pitroda and Mani Shankar Aiyar 

were ill-timed. The daily highlighted 

how Smriti Irani seized Congress 

bastion Amethi from Rahul Gandhi. 

Maharashtra Times had a cartoon of 

Modi making the victory sign with the 

headline “Namotsav!”. It reported that 

despite Rahul Gandhi’s “chowkidar chor 

hai” slogan, Mamata Banerjee’s jibes 

and two dozen Opposition politicians 

coming together, voters rejected them 

all once again. “As the entire country 

is swept up in admiration for the BJP, 

everyone is celebrating the festival of 

NaMo,” it said. 

The Telegraph kept it simple. The 

front page of the daily had just three 

words: “He is back”. The newspaper 

called the victory “thunder of 

majority”. “The gigantic Modi wave 2.0 

rendered individual BJP candidates 

redundant just as it papered over 

economic distress, social division and 

quotidian concerns that normally 

haunt incumbent government,” it said. 

“Invincible Modi,” read the headline 

on NavBharat Times. It said the slogan 

“Modi hai to mumkin hai” has been 

proved true after the results. The 

newspaper said Modi is the one and only 

reason for the victory. “Modi’s name 

created such faith in voters that no wall 

of religion and caste could stand in front 

of him and there was no meaning of any 

opposition alliance,” it reported. 

The Mid-Day newspaper played on the 

Game of Thrones analogy and said that 

Amit Shah delivered the Iron Throne to 

PM Modi. 

The page is quite impressive with PM 

Modi sitting on the Iron Throne, with 

Amit Shah standing by his side. The 

paper highlights that unlike the Game 

of Thrones series finale, India loved the 

finale of its own version of the Thrones. 

The paper talks about the defeat of 

the Grand Alliance in the North and 

Mamata Banerjee's defeat in the East. 

Assamese daily Amabo Assam led 

with the headline, “Modi back with 

decisive mandate”. It said the public 

has put its faith in Modi yet again. 

“Although the opposition and a section 

of the media said the Modi wave of 2014 

was a thing of the past, it is evident that 

this time it was a tsunami,” the daily 

reported.

03 Touristic 


Nepal says overcrowding on Mount 

Everest "not sole reason" behind deaths 

Nepal Tourism Department's Director General Dandu Raj Ghimire said as periods of fine weather 

had been short, the number of people on the routes to Mout Everest had been "higher than expected". 

Haynes Fisher, 44, died on Saturday 

minutes after reaching the summit. 

Ameesha Chauhan, a survivor of 

the Everest "traffic jam" who is in 

hospital recovering from frostbite, said 

climbers without basic skills should 

be barred to prevent a recurrence of 

this year's deadly season on the world's 

highest peak. 

Uttarakhand moves 

toward responsible 

tourism by developing 

ecotourism spots 

KATHMANDU: Nepal has denied 

accusations that the rise in the number 

of deaths of Mount Everest climbers is 

solely due to "overcrowding", adding 

adverse weather conditions also 

resulted in the deaths. 

Nepal Tourism Department's Director 

General Dandu Raj Ghimire said 381 

people had climbed the Mount Everest 

this spring, but as periods of fine 

weather had been short, the number of 

people on the routes had been "higher 

than expected". 

So far, 10 climbers have been reported 

dead or missing this season. But Mr 

Ghimire put the current death toll at

eight, the BBC reported. 

Four Indians including Kalpana Das, 

Nihal Bagwan and Anjali Kulkarni are 

among the dead. 

Their deaths have been attributed 

primarily to a long queue of both 

ascending and descending climbers at 

the Mount Everest, forcing many to wait 

for hours at 8,000 metres plus altitudes. 

One Nepalese, an Austrian and an 

American are also among dead or 

missing, reports say. Photos of long 

queues near the summit have been 

widely shared as record numbers

The 29-year-old Indian had to wait 

20 minutes to come down from the 

8,848-metre (29,029-foot) peak, but 

others were held up for hours. 

"I saw some climbers without basic 

skills fully relying on their Sherpa 

guides. The government should fix the 

qualification criteria," she told AFP in 

Kathmandu's general hospital, all the

her face weather-worn. 

"Only trained climbers should be 

granted the permit to climb Everest." 

It’s 

Uttarakhand has spotted five 

ecotourism circles and three ecotourism 

destinations, which will be developed 

by the state forest department in a bid to 

promote tourism in this region. 

As per the department, this 

development is likely to be a game 

changer in conserving the environment 

and forest of this region. The spots 

identified for the said purpose have 

been typically clubbed as one identity, 

categorised on the basis of their 

proximity to each other and similarities 

in biodiversity. 

As per the latest reports, the spots 

identified for eco-tourism circles 

include Yamuna Tons Valley, Tankapur- 

Champawat-Devidhura (Pithoragarh)- 

Nainital, Dehradun-Rishikesh-Tehri, 

and Ramnagar-Almora-Nainital. And 

the three ecotourism destinations 

that will be developed are Ramnagar, 

Ranikhet, and Dhanaulti. 

However, officials said that 

school children, researchers, and 

environmentalists will be given top 

priority to visit these eco-tourism circles. 

Regarding this, Forest Minister Harak 

Singh Rawat said that each destination 

and circle will be administered as per 

its ‘carrying capacity’, which means the 

number of tourists entering these spots 

will be limited. The minister also stated 

that carrying capacity will remain in 

focus to maintain quality tourism along 

with responsible tourists. 

The package includes sightseeing 

with entrance charges. 

In Pattaya, the tour will cover 

destinations such as Alcazar Show 

and Coral Island Tour on a speed boat. 

IRCTC's package also offers breakfast, 

lunch and dinner. 

IRCTC Tourism is also offering a tour 

package of six nights and seven days 

to Leh, Nubra Valley and Pangong at 

tariffs from Rs. 40,790 per person. 

Also, as per the policy, locals living near 

the forests might also likely be roped in. 

They will be trained to guide visitors in 

bird watching, spotting plants etc. 

Additional Secretary of Forest 

Department Dheeraj Pandey added that 

the objective of the policy is sustainable 

tourism, giving back to nature and 

allowing local communities to benefit. 

There are also plans to develop the old 

trek routes to give tourists an essence of 

life inside forests.

Himalayas: Escape from 

the heat, try VASHISHT 

- by Anastasia GRITSAY 

The best way to escape this heat – to fly to the Himalayas. Or fly to Delhi and from there go by bus 

(12 hours, RS 1200) – it will be cheaper. If your destination is Manali, you can stay at Vashisht too, 

a holy village just 40 minutes on foot or 20 minutes’ drive from Manali, founded by Guru Vashisht, 

who was the spiritual guru and teacher of Ram and Laxman. It’s 20-25 degrees in the afternoon, but 

gets a bit chill after sunset (around +10). 

In the jungle and 

on the hills 

Hostel stays @Rs. 1000

It’s close to mother nature! Crystal 

clear air. Almost daily, during the 

evenings local shamans perform 

dancing and pooja opposite the 

Vashisht Temple, where you can take a 

bath in the hot spring, locals have been 

doing it daily for centuries. Believe me, 

it is really very hot. And you should 

not just stare at the people taking bath 

(which is not polite by the way), you 

too have to do the same . And all your 

bad karma will be washed away. 

In a 30 minutes climb from this wooden 

temple to top of the mountain, you will 

find the gorgeous Yogini Waterfall. 

And what a splendid view! Pine and 

eucalyptus trees, blooming roses, apple 

gardens – entire Kullu Valley is visible. 

On the street of Vashisht , there are 

a lots of interesting shops where you 

can buy hats, traditional kullu caps, 

sweaters, woollen socks etc. Indian, 

Israeli, continental cuisine is served 

at most of the restaurants having 

beautiful mountain view: you always 

can chose between democratic Rangoli 

or a bit more luxury The World Peace 

Café. 

3 TYPES OF 

ACCOMMODATION 

Vashishta Yoga house 

For 1-2 days you can find budget 

guest houses with hot water (starting 

from RS 500 per night), for a month 

one can find even a peaceful house on 

top of the mountain for RS10 000 per 

month. But if you just want to enjoy 

your vacation – don’t think too much – 

just book your room at this unique and 

highly comfortable eco-space, called 

Vasishtha Yoga House. 

It's a quiet and cozy guesthouse, 

surrounded by beautiful Himalayan 

ecosphere, located right next to the 

famous natural hot spring bath. It’s

Why listen to Tamil 

music if you visit India 

For most people, it is impossible to live 

one day without listening to music. 

It can help us with various things, 

from improving our mood to helping 

us through difficult times. In other 

words, music has been around when 

no one else was. Today, there are 

various musical genres that exist and 

you would be amazed by how much 

they are different from one another. 

However, there is a type of music that 

is all about positive energy, love, and 

inspiration lyrics and that music genre 

in Tamil music. Tamil has an uplifting 

nature that is basically created to 

improve someone’s mood and it is said 

that this genre will easily improve 

your mood and lift your spirits. 

If you are planning on visiting India, 

you should keep in mind that India 

is known as a country where people 

are constantly trying to be happy and 

cheerful, so their music is not that 

different at all. What makes this genre 

quite interesting is that most of the 

songs that you can find on the Internet 

are songs that are used in a wide range 

of Indian movies. Bollywood is famous 

for making a lot of movies every year 

and with the advancements in their 

movie industry, the music industry 

is blooming as well. They work 

exceptionally well together since all 

movies require a soundtrack, hence, 

the two things fit perfectly together, 

especially in Bollywood. 

According to Isaimini, there are 

various websites that will offer you the 

chance to listen to the best Tamil songs 

ever recorded. Hence, do not waste any 

more time and start searching for some 

music. 

Here are four reasons why you should 

listen to Tamil music when in India: 

1. It has depth 

In order to really figure out the 

meaning of the songs, you will need 

patience, space for appreciation, and, 

of course, a translation of the lyrics. 

If you have all that you will be able to 

experience the beauty of Tamil music 

which will most certainly touch your 

soul with its inspiration lyrics and 

lively music. 

2. It will excite your sense 

Contrary to classical music, Tamil 

music excites your sense. You will be 

able to feel excited and you might even 

get an adrenaline rush since all the 

compositions are lively. Its energetic 

and wonderfully written compositions 

are things that will make you restless 

and you will most certainly want to 

want to join people on the dance floor. 

3. It will help you experience 

the culture 

India is a country that has a wide 

range of traditions and it is easy to 

say that all of them are quite different 

from what you might celebrate at 

home. Music is a big part of the daily 

life of Indian people and if there is 

a celebration nearby, you will most 

certainly be able to hear music around 

that place. It is interesting to see how 

people enjoy music in India, hence, 

you might be able to experience their 

culture better if you get to know their 

music better. 

4. It is good for your health 

As we all know, music is therapeutic 

and it can help you on an emotional 

and psychical level as well. There 

are various songs that you can play 

that will make you feel happier, less 

anxious, and some songs might even 

help you gain a new look on life. The 

beauty of Tamil music is that its lyrics 

are always inspirational and the songs 

can help you move on from a problem, 

hence you might be able to have a 

brighter look at the future. 

Conclusion: Tamil music can help you 

relax after a long day of walking or 

it might simply put you in a dancing 

mode, however, whatever you gain 

from listening to this music, one thing 

is for sure, if you listen to Tamil music 

while in India, you will be able to 

experience the culture better, as well 

as have a lot of fun.

Suncity Media And

After Anushka Sharma and Priyanka 

Chopra, it’s the turn of Sunny Leone 

to turn producer. The actress along 

with her hubby Daniel Weber, has 

ventured into production with Suncity 

Media And Entertainment. The newlylaunched 

production house shot for a 

television commercial featuring Sunny 

Leone, for an app-based company. 

Sunny Leone was initially approached 

to just be the face of the brand. The 

actress agreed to do so and she also 

offered to produce the commercial. 

Sunny Leone revealed that getting 

into production was something that she 

and Daniel Weber were considering 

since quite sometime. Hence, she felt 

that producing the ad was the perfect 

opportunity to launch her production 

house. She enjoyed shooting for the ad 

and admitted that she brainstormed with 

director Sunny Rajani before shooting it. 

Sunny Leone will juggle her acting 

and studio commitments and it will 

be Daniel Weber who will oversee the 

day-to-day affairs of Suncity Media And

M S Bitta, former All

Front chairman and 

politician 

With biopics garnering immense interest 

from filmmakers across Bollywood, there 

has been an announcement on another 

biopic. This one yet again celebrates the 

valor, courage and strength of a man 

who not only was the chairman of the 

All India Anti-Terrorist Front but also 

Salman also have a song together in the 

film called ‘Slow Motion’. 

Recently, Disha Patani said that 

she might not get to work with 

Salman Khan again owing to their 

age difference. She said that his 

character in his 20s and 30s in one of 

the eras, so it was an immediate yes 

for her. She said that he was wonderful 

and hardworking human being and 

working with him, she got to learn a lot. 

When Salman Khan was asked about 

Disha’s age difference statement, he 

seems to have no qualms working with a 

younger actress. He asked why and what 

age difference. He said that he is doing 

a film with a 17-year-old now. It seems 

like Salman Khan was referring to his 

Inshallah co-star Alia Bhatt who might 

be playing his love interest in Sanjay 

Leela Bhansali directorial. Reportedly, 

their age difference will be addressed in 

the film as Alia herself is 28 years junior. 

Meanwhile, Bharat, directed by Ali 

Abbas Zafar, is set for Eid 2019 release. 

latter, who recently emerged as a Lok 

Sabha seat winner from Amethi, chose 

to be barefoot throughout her holy 

expedition. Ekta's four-month-old son 

Ravie was also a part of the pilgrimage. 

Taking to social media, the Mental 

Hai Kya producer announced, "So we're 

walking to Siddhi Vinayak and she's 

walking without shoes. Oh man, I can't 

believe 14 kms without shoes, Smriti. 

That's how God willed it, let's go." 

Incidentally, Smriti Irani had shot 

to fame in the early 2000s after her 

portrayal of the lead character Tulsi 

Virani in Ekta Kapoor's production 

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 

under her Balaji Telefilms banner. 

Their friendship purportedly dates 

back to then and has come all this way 

to Smriti becoming Ekta's son's maasi 

(maternal aunt). 

Ekta also shared a photograph of the

Akshay Kumar 

TOPS the celebrity 

endorsement lists, 

Ranveer Singh – 

Deepika Padukone next 

in line OVERTHROW 

Shah Rukh Khan, 

Salman Khan 

Akshay Kumar has proved time and 

again that he is the most consistent 

and saleable actor at the box office. 

Long gone is the monopoly of the three 

mighty Khans with Akshay and new 

age actors like Ranveer Singh, Varun 

Dhawan, Deepika Padukone and Alia 

Bhatt here to give all the A-Listers 

a run for the their money. Latest 

survey shows that Akshay has bagged 

endorsements worth Rs 100 crore in 

the advertisement space which is more 

than all the Khans made. 

Also, what is interesting to note is 

that lot of brands are open to investing 

in young actors like Ranveer, Varun, 

Vicky Kaushal and not to mention Alia 

Bhatt and Deepika Padukone. After 

Akki, brand DeepVeer has proven 

to be most profitable. Ranveer and 

Deepika’s individual equity is Rs 84 

crores and Rs 75 crores respectively. 

Shah Rukh is at Rs 56 crores while 

Salman has endorsements worth Rs 

40 crores. Alia Bhatt has equity worth 

Rs 68 crores which is more than the 

Khans. Amitabh Bachchan is worth Rs 

72 crore, Varun Dhawan has ads worth 

Rs 48 in his kitty. Kareena Kapoor 

Khan at Rs 32 crore and Katrina Kaif 

at Rs 30 crore are amongst the Top 10 

celebs in the list. 

Brand endorsements of a celebrity is 

a clear indicator of their commercial 

success in the industry and therefore 

it is not surprising that the list of the 

names has Akshay, Deepika, Ranveer, 

Alia in the top bracket. It is touted 

that more new age actors will set new 

trends in the year 2019. 

In a recent announcement, it has 

been revealed that Shailendra Singh 

and Priya Gupta will be jointly 

producing the biopic on M S Bitta 

in the film titled Zinda Shaheed. 

In a recent post that was shared on 

social media by Taran Adarsh, it was 

confirmed that the two of them have 

acquired the rights of the story of 

M S Bitta for their next. In the same 

statement, it was also revealed that the 

film is in its initial stages and hence 

the logistic details and others are yet to 

be finalized. An announcement on the 

director and the cast is expected to be 

made soon. 

On the other hand, it is being 

said that the makers are keen on 

commencing the shoot of Zinda

09 Goa! 


Sawant proves 

his mettle... 

but has task 

cut out 

... Continued from Pg. 1 

Employment 

The biggest challenge today for 

the new CM is employment. As per 

records, there are over 1.2 lakh youth 

unemployed in Goa and the mining ban 

has only added to the number. 

The effect of unemployment is brain 

drain. Large number of youth are going 

elsewhere and even some are giving up 

nationality due to the crisis. 

However the CM says he is seized of 

the matter and in coming days tough 

measured would be taken. 

“Even though youth in this state are 

facing large scale unemployment, in 

the next three years, this government 

will be a human development-oriented 

government. Human development 

is our priority. This is going to be a 

youth-centric government,” Sawant 

said. 

He stated further that late Manohar 

Parrikar had assured creation of 50,000 

jobs in Goa. 

“We will fulfill this dream in the 

coming three years, we are committed 

to creating these jobs through various 

projects,” Sawant stated pointing 

to projects like Mopa International 

airport. 

Government contracts 

While employment is an issues 

activists and youth are of the opinion 

that the State government contracts 

like PWD/ WRD/ GSIDC or any other 

department has to be given to only 

Goans as this would also solve issue of 

unemployment to some extent. 

Activists say 90 per cent of contracts 

are awarded to non-Goans who are 

very influential. 

The BJP Youth wing says they have 

taken up the matter with the chief 

minister and he has assured to look 

into it. 

“We have taken up the issue with 

him and we are sure he will keep 

the promise,” said Gajanan Tilve, 

Secretary BJP Yuva Morcha. 

Sarah Todd’s Antares in 

Goa is back in action 

An old favourite is coming back to 

Vagator’s shoreline. After a massive 

fire in January, Antares is now 

readying itself for a reopening. Goa’s 

gourmands went into a state of shock 

in January when the al fresco beach 

restaurant on the Vagator cliffside 

burned to the ground. Helmed by 

MasterChef Australia season six 

finalist Sarah Todd, Antares caught 

fire due to burning scrap from the 

neighbouring compound flying onto 

the thatched roof of the establishment. 

“India has offered me so many 

beautiful opportunities since I’ve 

moved here, but Antares is literally my 

lifeline here. So, I had lost my sense of 

direction for a while,” Todd told CNT. 

Just a few months later though, Todd 

has bounced back and is putting the 

finishing touches on the new avatar 

of the restaurant. While Antares’ 

original bamboo and jute decor stayed 

true to Goa’s beach shack vibe, its new 

look will be reminiscent of an Ozzie 

beach cottage with white and green 

interiors. The coconut frond roof has 

been swapped out for a permanent 

roof structure and the kitchen has 

been expanded. “I’ve had the privilege 

of vacationing in 21 states in the 

country since I’ve lived in Goa, so I’m 

focussing on pairing traditional Indian 

marinades with Aussie barbecues and 

grills, another summer pastime that is 

huge down under. Sarah’s signature 

menu this summer will include dishes 

such as stuffed pointed gourd with 

tomato cashew sauce and poi; steamed 

sea bass in xacuti gravy; Murray’s 

murra and mango relish with naan; 

Goan sausage spaghetti with calamari 

and more. Die-hard Antares fans need 

not fret as the menu will retain some 

of the kitchen’s classics such as the 

surf and turf, beef fillet, tiger prawn, 

seasonal vegetables, red wine jus 

and Sarah’s Famous MasterChef iced 

nougat with candied orange, streusel. 

A week ago, guests were invited to 

Antares’ construction party and offered 

neon-yellow helmets and paint rollers 

to help whitewash the bare shell walls. 

And on 19 May, Antares will be open to 

hungry patrons to feast on Sarah’s take 

on recipes from down under, featuring 

inspirations from the sunshine state.

MORJIM 

Sushi Pizzeria Coffeteria 

Did you know? according to etiquette you shouldn’t send a piece of pickled ginger in the mouth along with 

sushi or rolls. Ginger has strong taste and aroma and will not allow you to fully enjoy the treat. It is meant 

to “clean” the taste between two pieces of sushi. Sushi is considered to be an aphrodisiac, because the 

two most common types of fish that are used, salmon and mackerel, are known for their high content of 

omega-3 fatty acids, which help to produce the stimulating hormones. 

Do you want to know more interesting facts? Ok. 5 curious facts about head chef and owner Dmitry: 1st 

- 14 years in Goa, 2nd - raising beautiful daughter Maria, 3d- master of mouthwatering sushi, 4th -played 

cello for 11 years, 5th -proud to build up wood-fired oven with his own hands. And one more important thing 

about him - the famous brand Smirnoff was born in his family 120 years ago. 

So The Place has indoor with AC and outdoor seating arias, fast wifi, catering, parking and even ping-pong 

table. It’s cosily and homely here. What is really exciting – free cocktail for ladies from 4 to 7PM every day!

India’s first interactive ‘music’ museum 

MUMBAI: Indian music is known to the 

world. The work to preserve the legacy 

is done at every level too. However, an 

interactive museum to preserve and 

showcase the heritage of music was 

unheard of. But, now India has got its 

first experiential museum for music. 

Modelled around a museum of Pop 

Culture in the USA, The Indian Music 

Experience gives the visitors a deep 

understanding of music history. The 

cognitive experience lets the visitor 

touch, hear and understand each 

instrument and the backstory of it. 

The museum is developed by Carnatic 

vocalist Mansi Prasad and musicologist 

Pappu Venugopal and is divided into 

eight parts. From showcasing the 

instruments-rare and popular to a cozy 

café area to an amphitheatre-like area 

where events can be hosted, the IME is 

an experience to must have. 

The idea is do more than just know 

about the instrument. One can play and 

discover various sounds. The exhibition 

area is open to be seen with various 

music-related artefacts on display. 

Speaking about the spectacular 

museum, IME Outreach Director 

Suma Sudhindra says, "The Museum 

of Pop Culture was initially known as 

Experiential Music Project on which 

Indian Music Experience is based 

on. Brigade Group CMD Jaishankar 

visited the Experiential Music Project 

and thought that something like this 

should be done for Indian music too. 

This is when the idea began and soon it 

took shape. 

“We wanted a museum of 

International standard for Indian 

music. When we say Indian music 

it entails everything from folk to 

classical to pop to Bollywood music. 

While the soft launch of IME is done, 

we are planning for a grand launch in 

the month of July," adds Sudhindra. 

Sharing about the response received, 

Suma Sudhindra said, "Museums are for 

everyone and the response till now has 

been great. It is a very technology oriented 

museums as we have iPads, specific 

interactives, and every graphic has a story 

to tell, which can be seen on iPads. We are 

lucky to get some really old videos and 

audios to be experienced at the museum. 

Music is all about the experience therefore 

we are focusing to give a rich musical 

experience to the visitors." 

The museum is open on six days a week 

and remains closed on every Monday. 

Keeping in mind the increase in footfall 

during public holidays, the museum 

stays open on every public holiday too. 

The museum charges a nominal fee 

starting at Rs 150 and is open from 10 

am to 6 pm. A must visit the museum for 

those who nurture a passion for music. 

While the concept of the experiential 

museum is new, museums related to 

music are not new to the map of India. 

The state of Karnataka itself hosts two 

other museums-one in Mysore named 

as Melody World Wax museum and 

second Karnataka Folk Museum in 

Bengaluru itself. 

The 18 years old 

iPod is selling 

for a whopping 

Rs 14 lakh 

How much will you be willing to pay for 

an 18-year-old “MP3 player”? Chances 

are if someone gave it to you for free 

you will scoff at the offer and not waste 

a single thought on it. However, what if 

the 18-year-old MP3 player was a very 

rare first-generation iPod. Not just that 

it was factory sealed in its unopened 

original box and also had the unopened 

original shrink wrap. Well, if you want 

this rare iPod then you will have shell 

out a whopping Rs 14 lakh or $20,000. 

According to a report by 

MacRumours, such an iPod has been 

listed on e-commerce shopping site 

eBay. This original iPod was launched 

in October 2001 and Steve Jobs had said 

that it’s like carrying “1,000 songs in 

your pocket.” The $20,000 iPod has a 

5GB hard drive, a two-inch LCD screen 

and a scroll wheel. It reportedly offers 

10 hours of battery life. Barring the eyepopping 

price, two other things actually 

stand out of this iPod. 

Firstly, even 18 years back — back 

in 2001 — the iPod was miles ahead of 

what it was offering when compared 

to the competition. Secondly, perhaps 

it’s an Apple product only that could 

command a premium like this and more 

importantly there might more than a 

few die-hard Apple fanatics or collectors 

who could actually spend a fortune on 

this. Just for the record when this iPod 

was launched it was priced at $399.

Apple and Nike 

brace for China’s 

wrath after Huawei 

ban 

Hong Kong: US companies counting on 

China for a major part of their growth 

have targets on their backs as Beijing 

and Washington ratchet up trade-war 

tensions. 

President Donald Trump’s decision 

to blacklist Huawei Tech, the Chinese 

maker of smartphones, while also 

threatening bans on other Chinese 

technology companies, could open the 

door to retaliation against US brands 

like Apple and Nike. State media last 

week said China is “well armed to 

deliver counterpunches,” without 

giving specific details. The most 

obvious target is Huawei’s smartphone 

rival Apple, which gets about a 

fifth of its revenue from China and 

manufactures its iPhones there. 

Blowback from Trump’s Huawei ban 

could cost Apple about 3% to 5% of its 

iPhone sales in China over the next 12 

to 18 months, according to Dan Ives, an 

analyst at Wedbush Securities. 

China is an increasingly important 

market for Nike, which sponsors 

the Shanghai Marathon and the top 

Chinese soccer league. 

Headphones made out of 

MICROBES: A joke or the 

key to Green Living? 

When we write about headphones, we 

usually mention something more or 

less conventional, for example, Apple’s 

AirPods or its competitor developed by 

Amazon. 

However, this time we will speak about 

very unusual concept of headphones 

that aimed at reducing the usage of 

plastic all over the world and save our 

environment from its harmful effects. 

The Finnish company Aivan has

396 million tweets made

Twitter India on Thursday announced 

it had recorded over 396 million tweets 

about the 2019 Lok Sabha elections 

from January 1 to May 23, reportedly 

a nearly 600% rise compared to 

2014 elections. It also recorded 3.2

US President 

Donald Trump says 

he uses Twitter as 

'typewriter' 

San Francisco: US President Donald 

Trump has said that Twitter, where his 

posts often circulate as memes, is nothing 

more than just a "typewriter" to him. 

Trump spoke about his "Twitter Theory" 

during an interview with Fox News 

Channel, CNN reported on Monday. 

"Twitter is really a typewriter for me. 

It's really not Twitter -- it's -- Twitter 

goes on television, or if they have 

breaking news, I'll tweet, I'll say 'Watch 

this -- boom.' That's not to build Twitter. 

"That's to say that as soon as it goes 

out, it goes on television, it goes on 

materials,” is mentioned in the press 

release. 

The name of the headset Korvaa 

translates from Finnish as “to 

substitute”, meaning that if these 

experimental headphones have the 

same functions as the traditional ones, 

they will be able to replace them as a 

“green” alternative. 

Facebook, it goes all over the place 

and it's instant -- it really is, to me 

it's a modern way to communicate," 

the report quoted the US President as 

saying. From his statement it stands 

clear that Trump tweets using his 

personal account to make sure that 

things are noticed distinctly. 

Irrespective of his 60.4 million 

followers, Trump has been regularly 

pulled out for posting controversial 

statements and war threats with Iran 

and North Korea on his page.
