ANY SURGERY PROMISING TO INCREASE SIZE

"ANY SURGERY PROMISING TO INCREASE SIZE – ENILE ENHANCEMENT SURGERY OR CELLOPLASTY – THE RESULTS ARE NOT VERY ENCOURAGING. NOT UNTIL ONE HAS CLEARED ALL DOUBT, AND UNLESS THERE IS GENUINE NEED, ONE SHOULD NOT GO FOR IT. IT SHOULD BE THE LAST RESORT" – DR PRAKASH KOTHARI

You know what they say about men with big feet?” wondered Julia Roberts aloud to Hugh Grant in that sunny sweet romantic comedy, Notting Hill. She of course chickened out of the actual rhyme and playfully offered “big feet… large shoes” for the answer.

Whether the size of feet is any indication of the third foot is for the myths department to clarify, but whether meat well hung is indeed a criterion to trigger off those pleasured moans has as many answers as there are members. Size is to man what weight is to a woman. As if getting sex wasn’t enough of a challenge by itself – what with all the grooming to be done and pick-up lines to be rehearsed – parking woes too prove to be quite a bit of stress for a guy and his pony. Though women are usually known to be far too polite to diss a man squarely on his face for his underwhelming assets – we know this because the blogosphere and online groups are filled with pent-up frustration of some 'O-not-so-happy womenfolk' – most men do fret about their insufficient trunks becoming subjects of ‘small’ talk at a party.

Says leading sexologist of Asia, author, and Founder Member of Advisory Committee, World Association for Sexual Heath (WAS), Dr Prakash Kothari, “For sexual gratification, there is a minimum length which is required. But sexual pleasure is not a performance to be gauged; it is pleasure to be shared between two individuals… An archer, as you know, is known by his aim and not by the length of his arrow.

Size of the erect penis anywhere above of two inches is good enough. I believe “the longer the better” is Godzilla logic. What is important is satisfaction of the partner. If a man is unable to satisfy, due to being unable to perform or if he reaches climax too soon, or whatever be the reason, then Vatsyayana mentioned 1600 years ago, that the man should use one of oral sex, masturbation or artificial penis, or what are now known as vibrators or dildos. What’s important is satisfaction, and not the act per se.”

Length of a woman’s piece of real estate doesn’t really come close to long schlong concerns, but even if there were such a thing, Anna Arrowsmith (See ‘Up, Close and Personal’) assures us, “I remember reading The Female Eunuch where Germane Greer says no woman likes to think of herself as having a large vagina, and that was back in the 70s. Women do worry about this, but for us at least there are pelvic floor exercises that help an awful lot and pretty quickly too, which is more help than men get.”

Men can probably take heart in the fact that ultimately what lies between the ears, than that between the legs, is found more covetable by the fairer sex, though the skill to make the gong strike the G-spot certainly doesn’t go unappreciated. In any case, the XL fellows have their own set of problems to contend with, something like a Hummer with mileage issues/in city traffic. At the end of the day (not necessarily), emotional propositioning and decent positioning will go a long way for little Johns to make bragworthy bedroom conquests too.

Anna Arrowsmith shares her perspective on size concerns

Managing director of adult entertainment firm Easy on the Eye, and female porn film director for over 12 years.

Apart from size, what other elements is pleasure a function of?

Pleasure comes from the understanding that sex is different from other things in life; it is a game with its own rules. Of course, respect and consent are key, but after that all else is about pleasure. For instance, dominatrixes' dungeons are full of professional men who are very demanding in the rest of their lives/jobs. Yet they pay large amounts to be spanked and spoken down to. Sex often acts as a counterbalance to the stresses and expectations of the rest of life. Don't engage the head (or the morals) too much. It follows that what happens in the bedroom stays there too.

Does porn serve to raise expectations and thus leads to increased feelings of inadequacies inside the bedroom?

Only if people already think negatively about porn, but those people will always be looking for reasons to add to their list of negative beliefs about the industry. It is unfair to blame the industry for raising expectations when other forms of film are not blamed in the same way. Imagine complaining to comedians that they set an example of life that is far funnier than reality, and thus we are all depressed with our real lives as a result. Porn directors don't prefer to show real sex, we show sexual entertainment. I think porn also does a good thing if it causes people to ask questions about how fulfilling their sex lives are, to a point. Why not try something new? The biggest killers of relationships are boredom and over-familiarity, not overactive sexual imaginations.

Anna Arrowsmith’s tips to enhance pleasure between the sheets...

My only tip would be to assume that your partner has more pent up sexual desires than polite society lets them voice (after all, don't you?). Sex becomes alive after this threshold has been surpassed. The trouble is, even in a world where sexual pleasure is being spoken about more and more, it can still be very difficult to overcome embarrassment and fear in your own relationship. Communication is key, as is having an open mind whilst respecting both yourself and your partner. In my experience too, women have a wider (and often more politically incorrect!) set of fantasies than men.

THE VIAGRA REVOLUTION HAS CAUGHT THE IMAGINATION OF INDIANS BUT LOCAL APHRODISIACS STILL RETAIN THEIR USES

IIPM: What is E-PAT?

There are only but a few things that fetch instant unanimity. Sex, for instance. Doctors the world over agree one of the drivers of good health is good sex every day, no doubt. But for those living amidst the din and bustle of urban metropolises, where the routine and drudgery of office and professional life is enough to slow down, if not actually finish off sexual appetites when getting into bed itself becomes an ordeal, people are turning to aphrodisiac-fired Viagra to heighten their libidos.

While the local sex stimulator has always come handy – with an abundance of sex clinics willing to impart education and technique – the emergence of the blue magic pill has radically altered the scenario.

Launched in the US market in April 1988, Viagra has become all the rage with more than three million prescriptions written for it. The oral medication has been hugely successful in not only treating impotence but also enhancing sexual performance to a great extent. Launched to control high blood pressure, Viagra's efficiency to treat impotence was discovered only later, and that too by accident.

Since then, the magical pill has given the local aphrodisiacs where ever they may be, a run for their money. India's tryst with Viagra began in 2005 when it was launched locally. To begin with, the availability of the pill was a problem, but no longer. Over a period of time it has become the magic word for close to 100 million Indians suffering from erectile dysfunction. The 50 mg tablet priced at Rs 463 is now easily available at the local shops while markets are flushed with about 15 versions of the Viagra, priced for as little as Rs 22. It is because of its low price value that many Indians – though still a minuscule minority of the population – have started using it at the cost of traditional therapies. For example: Rajesh Tripathi, who once regularly used Unani aphrodisiacs to impress his partner, has now turned to Viagra.

"There is no substitute for Viagra as it gives instant results. I have used Unani and other desi approaches, but I like the blue pill as it does not take time. With this pill I can also go on for a longer time." This is not to suggest that the arrival of Viagra has completely finished the local vaid and hakim. They continue to have their own loyal following, particularly in rural areas and amongst those who fear the Viagra because of its supposed side effects. Plus, there are many who are willing to pitch in their lot with Unani and Ayurveda medicines as a safer bet. Hakim Syed Obaid-us-Salam, who runs a dispensary in Ghaziabad, concedes that there is no alternative to Viagra in the Unani stream of medicine because of the different approaches to treatment.

"We go to the root of the disease and try to nip the aliment whereas Viagra is different as it only increases blood circulation locally, enhancing sexual performance. Its excessive use can lead to headache, bleeding and heart attack." Dr SV Kotwal, who heads the urologist department at Sitaram Bhartia, says the arrival of Viagra has opened an avenue never available earlier. "Many clones are easily available in India. I have prescribed it to many patients as it is effective," he points out.

With the rush of this sexual adrenaline, even Homeopathy claims it has a solution for the low libido. According to Homeopathy practitioner Jawed Ahmed, there are medicines available in his stream that can treat impotency and other problems. "Our way of treatment is different from Allopathy. There is no instant relief in Homeopathy, a patient has to go through the treatment for a long period of time." Some known Homeopathy brands of aphrodisiacs include Damiana and Salimum. Yoga too, traditionally, has asanas that help improve the libido. But these treatments take time. The realty is that none of them may come close to Viagra as far as improvement in sexual prowess is concerned.

Viagra's biggest asset is its price when compared to local sex-enhancing medicines. For about Rs 300, there could be a dramatic improvement in their performance as compared to Unani and Auyrvedic medicines which are expensive. Besides, the treatment methodology in traditional techniques is also time-consuming. Tripathi, who has at some or the other time used all the local brands, says their best results can be obtained in months, if not years. Too long a time to wait.

He also points out that desi medicines are no longer cheap; a month's treatment may cost anywhere between Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000 depending on the hakim or the Ayurveda. Happily for all concerned, there is space for everyone. The Viagra craze has not blinded traditional visitors from haunting their favourite hakims and vaids. Add to it the ever-mushrooming sex clinics, like the legendary New Delhi-based Sablok Clinic, and it would tell us why India is the land of the Kamasutra.

Sex is a candy

IIPM: What is E-PAT?

While it is difficult to put an exact worth tag on the value of the sex trade in Delhi and NCR, it is safe to assume that the amount runs into crores of rupees. As night falls, business picks up. It may be difficult to find a STD booth at night, but you will never be too far from finding sex. Deals are struck in subways, or the girls simply wave down a car and get inside.

Elsewhere on central Delhi's Mandir Marg, muscular boys carrying red handkerchiefs in their hands roam with ease while Moolchand flyover is practically taken over by transvestites. To sum it up, there is no such specific area in the city that can be labelled as a 'red light area'. And the one that is labelled, that is GB Road, is no longer the place it used to be.

We look up a website suggested by a college girl and come across a list of 56,000 girls and boys, the majority of whom are studying in one of Delhi university’s many colleges. We call a number listed on the website (971718****). The first call is made from a land line and goes unanswered. The second from a mobile is taken.

An angry male voice asks, “What do you want?” We ask for Aditi and are again asked, “But what do you want?” We say we want to meet her. In return, we are told if we want to meet Aditi, we would have to book a hotel room. The charges would be about Rs 8,000 for an hour to Rs 15,000 for a night. As a parting shot, we are told that we should not bother calling until a room is booked.

Next we dial a gigolo at (931230****). This belongs to Raj Shrey. He tells us he charges Rs 2,000 but that he would talk to us only if there is a girl to interact with. We offer more money and ask him who his clients are. The usual suspects, group of working women and housewives, are thrown up. In a typical night's work, Raj Shrey has to satisfy three to four women. If the clients are happy, in addition to Raj Shrey’s charges, they also give him coupons to shop with in malls. Unsurprisingly, Raj Shrey refuses to share any phone numbers.

The advent of mobile phone has helped sex rackets. They just get their numbers registered with a telephonic assistance service such as Just Dial in the garb of massage parlours, and half the work is done. We dial the massage parlour (958293****) and a female voice informs us that in addition to a massage and bath, we can get “real fun” for Rs 2,500. We could pick a girl from a Greater Kailash address. We get 10 phone calls through Just Dial and of these eight are of a similar nature. People in the flesh trade operate in the garb of friendship clubs, escort services and massage parlours.

While for professional sex workers, it's a full time occupation, there is an emerging tribe that indulges in the flesh trade occasionally, usually to meet their extra expenses, and without quite knowing the ramifications. Most of these youngsters are outsiders who are in the city to study, but want to enjoy the glitz of the metro.

When we approach as potential customers we are welcomed. But reveal your identity and out you go. Many phone calls later, we win the trust of a woman who agrees to talk to us on the condition that we do not carry a camera or a recorder. We agree. She meets us at the metro station of Kailash colony but only after ascertaining that we are clean. Swathed in brands and smelling of money, this is a very attractive woman. She begins talking to us and laughs at the thought that it is the first time in recent memory that she is meeting men without haggling for sex.


We sit down to have mango shake at a juice corner. She tells us that she is a graduate from the Delhi university in the batch of 2006. She was tired of hostel life where night would fall premature at 8 pm, a bore. So, along with three others, she rented a two bedroom flat in Kamla Nagar.

Living out of hostel meant the expenses got hiked many times over. One of the girls got an offer for sex during the 2004 DUSU elections after which she began getting back late every night. One evening she took the others out for a lavish treat and divulged the source of her newly-found wealth. Her pimp would send her to upscale hotels where she got Rs 5,000 per client. She was paid Rs 15,000 the first time after which it came down to Rs 5,000.

Of the four friends who walked down that path, three are now married. Their overriding fear: no one should recognise them when they are with their husbands. In the 20 days we spent on researching this story we found that sex is available everywhere in Delhi and the NCR. Also, that college going girls and boys are the freshest baits. They are lured by easy money and once in, they find it difficult to break free.

Sexual longevity is on the wane. While sexual openness is on the rise, the dream of a long sexual life is proving to be just that – a dream

"Thorns to Competition" amongst the top 10 best sellers of the week.

The recent years have seen a sea change in societal attitudes and sexual norms. The taboos have been left behind and sexual mores are more liberal. To wait for sex till marriage seems to be a thing of the past. Sex is not difficult to get...it is easily available and abundant. Not only men, women also want fulfilment. Condoms and birth control pills have found their way into school bags. The bedroom is a laboratory for experimentation. And this is not just limited to the metros. The heat is being turned on in small towns and villages, traditionally considered the bastions of morality. The society seems to be embracing this change.

This, however is just one side of the picture. The other side is quite the opposite. Sexual longevity is on the wane. While sexual openness is on the rise, the dream of a long sexual life is proving to be just that – a dream. Earlier the ardour would start waning at 40, now the drop starts at the age of 30. Earlier the sexual prowess of men at the age of 60 would also be a given, work stress and a hectic life mean more and more men are putting sex on the back burner. Matters become worse when both partners have jobs.


Daily life caught in the rut of shifts, the pressures of performance appraisals, mental stresses caused by financial insecurities, shrinking social spaces and inequalities in close relationships are taking their toll in the bedroom. Take the case of Amit and Gauri. They are media professionals married for two years. Amit has been on the morning shift in his news channel for the last three months. Gauri gets free from her newspaper shift around 1.00 am. By the time she gets home, Amit is in deep sleep. When Amit leaves, Gauri is catching up on sleep. “If we ever make love it is hurried and awkward. It seems I will have to take leave from work to enjoy sex,” rues Gauri.

Suresh Majumdar, former clinical psychologist of the Ahmedabad based DM Institute of Mental Health says, “Hectic schedules are the death knell of life. Mobiles and computers have changed lives completely. While they have made our life easy, they have also increased the pressures. People work for 17-18 hours and often carry work home. People get up and get right to work. They have no time for themselves and are tired both mentally and physically. Tolerance levels are falling, people are easily irritable. All this impacts one’s sex life. Often people seek help in alcohol but this only compounds the problem,” he says.

Sexual initiation starts at a younger age. The easy availability of porn means children are sexually hyper active. This early start also means a premature death to one’s sexual life. Dr Amresh Kumar Singh of the Devraj Ars Medical College, Kolar, says, “If you are not suffering from any sexual abnormality, there is no age limit to which you can enjoy sex although individuals differ in their limits and abilities. When sexual initiation happens at a young age, sexual desires begin to wane early. Priorities also change with age.”

A healthy sexual life demands a fit body and a peaceful mind. Dr KK Agarwal of the Heart Care Foundation, New Delhi, lays the blame for waning sexual desire on lifestyle related diseases. “A careless attitude towards oneself can have disastrous consequences. A love for the easy life is making the road ahead difficult. Increasingly diabetes and heart diseases are taking hold of younger people. All this affects one’s sexual life.”

After a long career in a nationalised bank, Srawan Verma opted for voluntary retirement and now lives at Noida where he helps his son in his business. “The period between the ages of 30 and 40 is marked by an inability to accept the days of one’s youth are a thing of the past. The body refuses to comply with the mind. The tuning goes off key and sexual life bears the brunt of this.”


Rajkishore Prasad, an HR professional in an MNC, disagrees. “The body listens to the mind when it comes to sex. If your personality is colourful you will enjoy sex all your life. Mental preparation is a must to enjoy sex. But what happens is that sex just becomes a chore. The pleasure is thrown out of the equation.”

GK Thakur, a 43-year-old academician living in Greater Noida reasons, “The problem lies with those who consider sex a mechanical process whereas it is the emotional content which ranks higher. Emotions and feelings cannot be overlooked. These are like foreplay to the
actual act, much like appetisers before the actual meal. Not only do they pique the hunger, they make its fulfilment more satisfying. Every below par performance in the bedroom punches a hole in the male ego. This can eat away into one’s sex life.”

Is there a way out? Vishal Chabbra, consultant psychiatrist at the Vimhans Hospital says, “One needs to be physically and mentally fit to enjoy sex. Try to find time for yourself in the daily business of living. Keep your weekends for yourself and enjoy them fully. This will keep you energised and fresh. Find time for your hobbies. Social interactions and activities are extremely important. As far as preparing yourself for sex is concerned, change the atmosphere in the bedroom. Use fragrances of your choice. Try new positions and techniques. Be experimental. This will bring change. Sexual desire is like a perpetual flame. It doesn’t die out though it may decrease in intensity.” To keep the flame burning is a key ingredient of a happy and fulfilling life.

As many as 60% of the respondents of an online sex survey have had multiple sex partners. Maybe, the times are changing

IIPM RANKED NO.1 in MAIL TODAY B-SCHOOL RANKINGS

You don't need to smuggle in that dog eared, muchthumbed soft -porn magazine any more. If you want some good ol' titillation, there are a myriad other avenues to choose from. But move over second-hand fun. Now you can get the real-life experience with just about no fuss... Ask for sex. Or about it. That's what The Sunday Indian Online did: Quiz people about their sex lives. The survey, by www.thesundayindian.com, was simpler, and had less inquisitive questions compared to the one for the main story. The answers were candid too, with the respondents coming from all walks of sex life. There were homosexuals, heterosexuals, bisexuals, and a good 26 per cent who were 'undecided about their orientation'. There were only a handful of female respondents. But the few of them who did field questions, went for it full throttle.

So let's start with tracking how the mind is wired when the body is at play. It might be unfair to judge the loyalty quotient of the respondents from the survey, but evidently more than 61 per cent of them fantasise about actors, friends, colleagues and porn stars when they are in bed with a partner. The gender break up on this is intriguing too. None of the females (in the survey) fancy their husbands/boyfriends when they have sex. So who is the hero of their prurient dramain- the-head? Predictably, for a majority of them, it is a movie star. Then there is another lot of women who imagine they are making out with their probably-more-attainable colleagues while in bed with their husband/boyfriend. Men too take off on flights of fancy. More than actresses and colleagues, when it comes to intimate communion, porn stars rule the imagination of 20 per cent of the males surveyed. A minuscule percentage have lascivious thoughts about their house maids too. But it's refreshing to note that a majority of them would rather stick to fantasising about their wife/girlfriend, when it comes to matters concerning the birds and the bees. Variety rules, though. Settling for the usual doesn't seem to be the norm, as more than 60 per cent of the respondents have had multiple sex partners. Of them, there are 20 per cent who claim to have had more than five partners, and 41 per cent who could count it on their fingers. But, like most things in life, quantity and quality oft en don't go hand in hand. So, though 60 per cent of them claim to be completely satisfied with their partners, 53 per cent of the very same respondents contradicted themselves when they admitted that action between the sheets could be better still.

Of course, everyone enjoys a good time. While in the throes of passion, most of these respondents say they like it sensuous and romantic. At times, wild and adventurous. Normal? No thanks. These amorous encounters take place every single day of the week for a good 21 per cent. For 50 per cent, it is up to four times a week. Another 15 per cent find occasion for it five times a week. And then, eight per cent say they don't manage it even once a week. We wouldn't venture to tell this eight per cent that they tried and failed....perhaps they prefer being celibate, for a while. Reasons for why sex does not happen vary. It could be exhaustion aft er a hard day's work (36 per cent), joint family compulsions (11.4 per cent), or just plain lack of time. Nevertheless, more than a quarter of those surveyed get what they really need, against all odds. There are diff erent avenues for “getting it” too. Sex has grown far more symbolic and vicarious in the last decade. Our survey says 14 per cent of the respondents enjoy sex on the web/phone. We guess hormones can now read digital codes. A whole new chemistry is brewing.

SEX ISN'T A FOUR-LETTER WORD

IIPM Mumbai Campus

Sex is... what happens between the sheets. But it is just as much what happens betwixt the ears. The mind is the key. But are our minds free and uncluttered enough to either draw sustenance from or feed the pleasures of the flesh, guilty or otherwise?

We live in times in which sexually loaded images and ideas jump out at us day in and day out from our television sets and movie screens. But for the uppity loony fringe peopled by the moral police, we are completely blase about this unstoppable sensory overload.

Sex talk is cheap in India. The entire nation seems to go into paroxysms of collective vicarious delight when Munni's badnaami and Sheela's jawani are put on show in our multiplexes and living rooms, with Bollywood divas and starlets inveigling us with miles of well-toned bare midriff.

We live in a country where even an advert for a mango drink cannot refrain from alluding to the Kamasutra. Sex is all pretty aam in this land of 1.2 billion humans.

The question is: how much of the action that we Indians are supposed to be getting is worth all the reams of newsprint and all the spools of videotape that are frenetically expended on it? We can't tell for sure, no matter what the stress is really on – quantity or quality.

Is a sexually hyperactive and liberated India for real? Or is it only a media-created myth, constructed almost on an industrial scale to peddle a wide range of products and events from lacy lingerie to salacious sex toys, from appeal-enhancing fragrances to libido-boosting pills, from furtive rave parties in urban nether zones to ayurvedic aphrodisiacs and Ecstasy, both the substance and the state of mind.

Sex is all around us – on advertising hoardings, television commercials, adult websites, pornographic rags and film dialogue and songs. If you believe the hype, we are at it all the time. And loving it.

But that is not what the nationwide TSI-CVoter sex survey indicates. As many as 40 per cent of those polled perceive sex as either just a "physical need" or, worse still, a "mechanical chore". What's more, 27 per cent are dissatified with the quality of their sex life while 35 per cent feel that they could do with a booster shot.

The flip side of life in the fast lane, many Indians appear to have realised, is a loss of a healthy, fulfilling sex life. Well over 50 per cent of the people quizzed in this survey admit that they aren't getting enough owing to overwork, urban stress and shrinking leisure time.

So, where really does the truth lie? Read on for the answer.

Emerging Out Of Cricket's Shadow

IIPM RANKED NO.1 in MAIL TODAY B-SCHOOL RANKINGS

Having performed impressively at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi and the Asian Games at Guangzhou, Indian sportsmen have perhaps created the perfect platform for other sports to breach the cricket barrier

After India’s recent exploits in New Delhi and Guangzhou, there is collective contentment and belief that Indian sports and more importantly the sportsperson are finally getting the share of attention they deserve. It could be seen as the beginning of a promising sporting era.
India has come a long way since 1900 when Norman Pritchard, a British descendant did his adopted country proud by winning two silver medals in 200m and 200m hurdles respectively and till date remains the only ‘Indian’ to win two Olympic medals.

A century hence, in 2008, Abhinav Bindra made history by becoming the first Indian to win an individual gold medal at the Olympics. Dare I say, his achievement ignited the spark of confidence other athletes solemnly needed. India won more than a hundred medals at CWG this year, 38 of which were gold, a record haul for India. At the Asian Games ’10, India managed a staggering 64 medals, another record. The overall performance of India at the events resulted in an all-time best of second and sixth spots respectively.

Seemingly impressive, especially owing to the numerous gold medals to boast about, any celebration at this point would be premature. At the Olympics, India, a country 1.2 billion people strong, has only one individual gold medal to show for. Also, India trails China 1204 to 128 in the overall gold medal tally at the Asian Games where the competition is said to be mild.

However, it would be treacherous not to applaud and acknowledge the achievements of our labouring athletes. Shooting for instance has been extremely instrumental in accumulating success. Out of the 38 CWG gold medals, our shooters shot 14. Not to forget, the sole silver medal in the Sydney Olympics was won by
a shooter.

Ace shuttler Saina Nehwal deserves plaudits for her hard fought performance to win India the 38th gold after a scintillating performance at CWG. Exactly the stuff heroes are made of and precisely, the example the Indian sporting fraternity needs. The Asian Games too have a remarkable story to tell. The spellbinding display was the performance of the Armyman Bajrang Lal Takhar from Sikar district of Rajasthan who sculled his way to gold. Vijender Singh and the Indian boxing team deserve a special mention, the former in particular, for his resilience and resurgence in clinching gold at the Asian Games after a heart-breaking semifinal loss at the CWG.

Many prominent athletes have voiced their support welcoming the favourable changes in the sports environment. Karnam Malleswari commented “It’s a big honour that Commonwealth Games is being organised in India”. Champion wrestler Sushil Kumar added “our job is to work hard and win medals”, before highlighting the responsibility of the administrative bodies to promote the sports in question.

One particular sport which is steadily generating a strong cult following is football. It has gradually surged into the foray due to the unprecedented fame and support some of the European teams enjoy here in India. Though somewhat tainted for the same, the growing fan base has attracted interest from Arsenal F.C who are planning to open an academy soon, remarking that there is immense potential in India.

To top it all, New Delhi is slated to host the final race
of the upcoming Formula One season in December next year. The event will presumably put India on the sporting calendar, promote Indian sports and provide a much needed break to other as yet anonymous sporting disciplines.

A splash of the sun and sea…

IIPM Mumbai Campus

The smooth roads along the Western Ghats flushed with flora on both sides and the caressing soft breeze were the first signs that Goa would stand to its reputation, that of being a perfect host. One of the most visited tourist destinations in India, Goa also tops the charts for ‘Best Quality of Life in India.’ A first-time visitor, I was all set to dive headfirst into the experience I’d only heard and read tales about. Right after checking in at the resort, I hopped onto the bike I’d hired for my short jaunt and rode to the beach.

Divided into north and south, the coastline packs in numerous beaches along its 125 kilometer-long coastline. Baga beach in North Goa, which hosted me during my stay, is the most commercial and crowded beach with inviting shacks that serve authentic sea food and a variety of drinks that can be enjoyed while music serenades the lilting wind. Calangute is another famous beach in North Goa which does not have the same bustle as Baga, but is a place where you can bask in the sun and enjoy a beach massage with the rhythmic sound of the sea lulling one into deep slumber. Being there during the peak season has its own advantages. It was easy to haggle with the touts for a reasonable rate for water sports, which is best at Aguada Beach and Fort. From parasailing to jet-ski, one can find all sorts of adventurous water rides. And at Aguada, the waters of the coast seem to jump with joy at the sight of tourists gearing up for the surf. The beaches of North Goa are inviting to those waiting to plunge into the energy pool. However, if you fancy a relaxed atmosphere, beaches of South Goa, namely Agonda, Majorda, Palolem etc, would be the perfect picks.

With a bike to ride on, I spent one sunny afternoon visiting the local markets, the Cabo De Rama and Corjuem forts, and rode past some Indo-Portuguese style constructed mansions around the village areas. Some temples in Goa, for instance, the Shantadurga Temple and Mahalasa Temple also reflect the Portuguese times and can be a delight to an aficionado of art and architecture.

In Goa, beyond dusk is the time to say ‘cheers’ to some soulful music and dance, for the streets of Goa are choc-a-bloc with restaurants, clubs, pubs and karaoke bars that promise to keep the excitement from dwindling after those enthralling and exhausting water rides and hours dodging the cool waves of the Arabian Sea. Somehow, Goa instills an inexplicable groove in its visitors which doesn’t fade away even days after a stint along the sandy beaches, soaking oneself in the gushing waves, savouring Goan food and downing those umpteen swigs of Fenny… this is the place that can actually make you relish the true vibe of staying alive!


Destination Dossier

Steering the Course
It’s easy to travel to Goa from any destination in India. Various flights are available at every few hours from Delhi. Mumbai to Goa is a smooth 11-hour drive; a flight from Mumbai can get you there in 45 minutes.

COSY CORNERS
Nazri Resort at Baga offers a cosy and comfortable stay with rates that suit every pocket. If an opulent accommodation is what you desire, then the Taj Resort or Cidade De Goa are the obvious picks.

THE ‘SEASON’ED TRAVELLER GOES NOW
December is the season to enjoy the true flavour of Goa. If you don’t wish to get cramped for space in the crowds, then visit anytime in November, January or February.

‘SAVOUR’ FAIRE
Prawn curry and rice all the way! Don’t miss out on the various cocktails and mocktails offered at the shacks on the beaches and do indulge in some mouth-watering desserts after a wholesome Goan meal.

GET TO WORK
Some beaches in Goa host theme parties where one can eat, drink and dance all through the night. Rave parties are also a rage; ask people around and you might get a chance to visit one of those. Spend a quiet time visiting the museums around. The new wax museum is popular.

WHAT’S THE WORD
Hindi and English are easily understood, though spoken in typical Konkani (local language) accent and style. And to befriend someone, you could start with ‘Tuggele naav kithe?’

KEEPSAKE COURTESIES
There are shops aplenty dotting the streets of Goa, selling key chains made of shells; neckpieces and bracelets made of beads; colourful scarves etc. to quell one’s shopping cravings as also to pick souvenirs to take back home.

More women in the Valley are now signing up for martial art classes.

IIPM Mumbai Campus

Haroon Reshi in Kashmir discovers it's not merely to do with competitive sports action.

I’s an uneasy place, the Valley. When they’re not firing bullets, it’s raining stones. In such a scenario, ways of self-preservation are wont to become a prime concern. Of late, contrary to local traditions, a large number of Kashmiri girls are enrolling for martial art classes to master self-defence techniques to be able to guard themselves in hazardous situations.

Sakeena Akhtar, a college student is one of the girls attending daily martial arts classes at a training center in Pampore in the outskirts of Srinagar. The place is run by a state level sporting organisation called Sqay Federation of India (SFI), with the help of Department of Youth Services and Sports. According to office bearers, fifteen thousand female members are registered with the Federation while training is imparted to more than three thousand girls across the valley by SFI.

“For me, the basic reason to get martial arts training is to learn self-protection techniques. We have been living with the fear of violence and the crime rate is also increasing with every passing day. In such circumstances, girls need to be able to defend themselves in the event of a dangerous situation,” said Sakeena, clad in a blue uniform and a scarf. “I have been training for the last few years and have learnt many techniques. Now I feel this is fun; it also makes us feel stronger and confident,” she added.

Not too long back, parents were quite hesitant about permitting their daughters to join such extra-curricular activities, but in the past few years, the mindset of the elders has undergone a change, much thanks to the alarming upward trend of crime in the Valley. In July 2007, Tabinda Gani, a 14-year old girl was gang-raped and killed when she was on her way back from school in the northern town of Hundwara. Merely a month later, an eight-year-old girl Sabrina Fayaz met the same fate at the hands of unknown criminals who abducted her from near her home in Srinagar city. Seventeen-year-old Romana Javed was crushed to death by car-borne eve- teasers in the Barzala area of the city last year. These instances have only steeled the determination of many to enroll for such training. “Increasing number of admissions may be linked with a deep rooted sense of insecurity among the people of the Valley who have been witness to violence for more than two decades now. The police has failed to control the increasing crime rate in the region,” Prof B.A. Dabla, an eminent sociologist of Kashmir told TSI.

These days, Sakeena, along with two other classmates Sumaira and Abida, is preparing to attend the 4th International Martial Art Games at Tallinn, Estonia in February 2011. There are more than fifty girls in the Pampore training centre who have two-hour workouts lined up daily, which includes training with equipments like Tura (a two feet long Faber stick), Bargula (a round shaped ring made of soft leather), and chest and head Guards. To avoid injuries, trainees simulate attack by making light contact with the bodies of their opponents. “Martial art is not just about learning how to kick, strike or punch someone; it helps us to grow mentally and get physically stronger,” says Afreen Khan (15), another learner. “I am thankful to my parents who did not discourage me from joining this sport commonly believed to be meant only for men,” she said.

Several girls like Afreen are all set to demonstrate their skills at the 11th Senior National Sqay championship (Men/Women) next month. Some others girls may even get to join the 56th National School Games at New Delhi in the coming days. “Earlier, parents were reluctant to let their daughters participate in such sporting events, but now there is a visible change and a more enthusiastic response everywhere in the Valley,” says Nazir Ahmad Mir, a Grandmaster. “We have our training centers in almost all districts of the state and it is only in the Valley that we are training more than three thousand girls. The number of boys is higher,” he points out.

The girls are taught various skills and techniques of martial arts like judo, karate, boxing and Sqay. Sqay (Persian for ‘knowledge of war’) is considered an ancient martial art of Kashmir. According to legend, Kashmir’s King Dharyadev trained his fighters in this defensive art form thousands of years ago. Now it is practiced in 20 states in India, and this traditional Kashmiri martial sport has been included in the World Martial Art Games (WMAG) for the first time this year. In the last couple of years, SFI included a new event called ‘Snow Sqay’ in its training curriculum, played in the winters after it snows.

Earlier, it was a common perception that it was against Islamic teachings to let girls join sports like martial art but that has increasingly given way to a new line of thought. In 2003, Mir wrote a book, ‘Martial Art & Islam’, to answer critics who were protesting the martial training of girls on religious grounds. Islamic scholars no longer object much but they do insist on a modest dress code and veto mixing of sexes. “Islam has given the right to self defence to every human being. But attire of the players must be in accordance with Islam, and it is also very important to ensure that there are no males watching. Mixing of sexes is forbidden.” Maulana Bashir-ud-Din, the grand Mufti of Kashmir told TSI. In any case, there must nothing be forbidden about standing up to injustice.

Economics of economic espionage is not a happy tale

Management Guru Arindam Chaudhuri Dean Business School IIPM

Economic espionage is a global phenomenon. It is not only costing billions to the modern-day corporations but also is spreading its tentacles across the globe. According to the American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS), even in 1997, American intellectual property worth more than $300 billion was under threat due to economic espionage. In 2000, the same agency estimated the cost of economic espionage industry to be around $60 billion annually. Experts say this figure has now exponentially increased. Sample this: German counter-intelligence experts announced as recently as in October 2010 that the German economy is losing over €50 billion (equivalent to 30,000 jobs) annually due to espionage.

With the advancement of technology and corporations going online, economic espionage has become easier and. As big corporations today contribute a substantial amount to their economy, a dent in such companies shakes the very foundation of the host economy. For instance, half a decade back, Swedish authorities deported two Russian diplomats as they were found spying at Ericsson – a company responsible for missile-guidance systems for Sweden's fighter jet. Even the US has experienced several cases of economic espionage from countries like Japan, France and Israel. However, China, for that matter, is touted as the biggest player in the economic espionage market. UK’s intelligence service MI5 has warned banks and law firms of attacks from Chinese state organisations and has even written to 300 chief executives and security chiefs in UK about electronic espionage attacks. Companies like Rolls-Royce and Royal Dutch Shell have already been victims.

While MNCs indulge in this practice to know their competitors’ strategic plans in order to gain industry share, nations at large do this to track economic trends, technological progress, defence breakthroughs and progress on international relations. It thus helps them to form policy and gain strategic and political edge.

On July 13, 2010, Ke-xue Huang was arrested for passing secrets belonging to the Hunan Normal University in Changsha, China. Likewise, a year back, Dongfan Greg Chung, a former Rockwell and Boeing engineer, was convicted for economic espionage as he was acting as an agent of China and had passed restricted technology and Boeing trade secrets (information related to the Space Shuttle program and Delta IV rocket) to China. Surprisingly, Christian Science Monitor revealed how Clinton signed the Economic Espionage Act thus authorising intelligence gathering on foreign businesses and also “attached especial importance to economic intelligence, setting up the National Economic Council (NEC) in parallel to the National Security Council.” Thus, NEC was able to seek information regularly from the NSA and the CIA which was then used for American business benefit.

So where’s the solution to all this? While one would recommend a UN convention/resolution to be passed against such espionage, the developed countries would be rather pleased to have no solution as currently, they obviously have an upper hand.

Gay men go for unprotected sex

Watching porn video is not a crime

A study has found that gay young men, who are in a serious relationship, are six times more likely to have unprotected sex than those who hook up with casual partners.

The findings by new Northwestern Medicine provide a new direction for prevention efforts in this population who account for nearly 70 per cent of all new HIV/AIDS diagnoses in adolescents and young adults.

"Being in a serious relationship provides a number of mental and physical health benefits, but it also increases behaviours that put you at risk for HIV transmission," Brian Mustanski, associate professor in medical social sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and lead author of a paper on the research, said.

"Men who believe a relationship is serious mistakenly think they don't need to protect themselves," he stated.

About 80 per cent of gay young men who are HIV positive don't know it, because they aren't being tested frequently enough, he noted.

"It isn't enough to ask your partner his HIV status. Instead, both people in a serious, monogamous couple relationship should go and receive at least two HIV tests before deciding to stop using condoms," Mustanski said.

The new Northwestern research shows HIV prevention programs should be directed toward serious relationships rather than the current focus on individuals who hook up in casual relationships.

The Northwestern study looked at the behaviours of a diverse population of 122 young men (16 to 20 years old when the study began) over two years in Chicago and the suburbs.

The men are a subset of participants in Mustanski's ongoing longitudinal study on the sexual and mental health of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth.

The study has been published online in the journal Health Psychology .

Millions in India carry hepatitis virus

IIPM Mumbai Campus

India is reeling under a serious burden of Hepatitis.
Professor SK Acharya , HoD of gastroenterology at AIIMS, said studies reported from various parts of India estimate that about 20 million Indians are Hep B carriers and about 8 to 10 million may have silent Hep C virus infection. According to him, India does not have a Hep B virus registry, or information on the disease burden.

"Their treatment is expensive. Control strategies should include mass awareness, universal guideline for immunization and hygienic handling of food and water, which can reduce the liver disease burden substantially in our country," he added. Other experts say Asia Pacific carries the highest burden of viral hepatitis, with India and China together having an estimated 123 million people chronically infected with Hepatitis B and 59 million chronically infected with Hepatitis C, accounting for almost 50% of all infections worldwide. Now, a group of leading experts has joined hands to create Coalition to Eradicate Viral Hepatitis in Asia Pacific (CEVHAP) to fight viral hepatitis across India and urge governments across Asia-Pacific to become more aware of the devastating effects of hepatitis on individuals, their families and the community at large.

Globally too, Hep B and C is a serious problem, affecting one in 12 people worldwide, claiming the lives of approximately one million every year. Co-founder of CEVHAP, Professor D S Chen from the National Taiwan University, said, "While chronic hepatitis is a silent disease with little or no symptoms for many years, it 'salso a silent disease when it comes to public awareness and government attention. This has led to the situation we find ourselves in today, where a large population with viral hepatitis does not seek medical attention or receive treatment - and this is also true for countries where the treatment is reimbursed by the government."

At present, more than half of chronic hepatitis patients live in countries with no provision for free testing, and 41% of patients live in nations where no government funding exists for the treatment of either Hep B or C.

US cracks Kashmir racket: Fai is a fake man

IIPM Mumbai Campus

In a city where lobbyists represent scores of interests, issues, and causes from across the world, Ghulam Nabi Fai, was a familiar figure on Capitol Hill as the principal representative of the Kashmiri separatist movement. A stocky man 62-year old man with a scraggly beard sans mustache, he spoke the language of engagement and claimed to seek a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute.

An FBI affidavit charging him with "conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign principle," shows that Fai was a frontman for Pakistani – and not Kashmiri – interests in the US. He took dictation from his masters in Islamabad and Rawalpindi and according to the FBI count, was funded to the tune of at least $4 million to manipulate the debate about Kashmir. The FBI recorded 4000 email and telephone exchanges with his Pakistan handlers.

Fai's career as a Pakistani ISI bagman began as far back as 1989, according to a Confidential Witness (identified as CW-2 in the FBI affidavit) who turned US informant. The ISI, CW-2 says, "created the KAC to propagandize on behalf of the government of Pakistan" and selected Fai "because he had no overt ties to Pakistan."

Indeed, Fai did come originally from India. According to community sources, Fai hails from the Kashmir Valley and came to the US in the 1980s after an MA degree from AMU. He earned a PhD in mass communication from Temple University in the US and began working as a Kashmiri and Muslim activist in the late 1980s before the ISI ensnared him.

Soon he was singing the Pakistani tune churning out exaggerated accounts of Indian atrocities in J&K and organizing conferences and seminars bankrolled by the Pakistani government through ISI.

But Fai also left a massive paper and electronic trail that the FBI diligently collected and intercepted under court-sanctioned surveillance . He made massive cash collections. He was stopped by the police in New York once and found to have $ 35,000 in cash which he tried to explain away as donations for the Kashmir cause from a Brooklyn mosque, but which the FBI determined was slush money from a straw donor in the US.

Another time, one of his ISI handlers demanded he get a laptop bag and adaptor for his boss. The wrangles finally got to one of his associates, identified as "John" in the FBI affidavit. John had a problem with Nazir Shawl, Fai's counterpart in UK as the ISI bagman, and he threatened to expose "everything and everybody."

"He ended by saying he was prepared to go to the Indian Embassy to beg forgiveness for his previous activities, even of doing so displeased his Pakistani bosses," the FBI affidavit records

Genelia D'Souza is married to John Abraham

Pandit Bhagwat Guruji's stubbornness might cost Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza their marriage plans. The Hindu priest insists the lovebirds cannot take saat pheras anytime soon.

Genelia D'Souza is married to John Abraham

Apparently, the priest got Genelia married to co-star John Abrahim while they were shooting for Nishikant Kamat's Force. He says he forgot the camera was rolling and read out the actual wedding mantras while the pair was shooting a wedding scene! Now, the pandit has parked himself at producer Vipul Shah's office demanding to meet with Genelia to explain the situation.

A source reveals, "There's a scene in Force where the lead pair get married. Instead of a junior artiste, they called a real pandit for the scene." Following the reports of Riteish and Genelia planning marriage, Bhagwat landed up at the producer's office to register a complaint.

Pandit Bhagwat says he was asked to perform the rituals authentically by director Nishikant Kamat. "John and Genelia are husband and wife," he says, adding, "I need to make them understand that I have pronounced the mantras one does at a real wedding. Everything from wearing a mangalsutra, to exchanging garlands and taking the saat pheras has been done."

Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah says, "The pandit is now mad at us for getting him involved in this scene. He's treating it like a real wedding, but I want to make him understand that that's not the case. In my entire career, I've never experienced anything of this sort!"

13-yr-old boy shot dead inside Chennai army quarters

IIPM Prof Rajita Chaudhuri - The New Age Woman

A 13-year old boy in north Chennai died on Sunday after he was shot when he scaled a wall to enter the army's residential quarters, triggering public protests and condemnation by the Tamil Nadu chief minister.

As irate crowds agitated outside the government general hospital where the boy died, chief minister J Jayalalithaa issued a statement that the Indian army should hand over to the state police the jawan who shot the boy. "This is unacceptable. The security personnel could have easily known that this boy is not a terrorist or a militant," she said.

Dilson, who lived in a nearby slum, had jumped over to enter the Old Fort Glacis Officers' Enclave at 1.30 pm along with a few friends. Minutes later, after he climbed a tree, his friends heard gunshots and fled. When they returned with Dilson's relatives, they found him lying unconscious on the grounds, bleeding from the head. They rushed him to the government general hospital where he succumbed to his injuries at 5.20 pm.

According to doctors, Dilson was critical when he was brought to the hospital, less than two kms from the scene of the incident, and required life support. Doctors said he had an entry-and-exit bullet wound on his skull. "We could not save him," said a doctor who treated him.

The person who shot the boy remained unidentified till reports last came in. A senior army official in Chennai, Brigadier (admin) Sashi Nair, told the media that the area had been cordoned off for investigations following the incident. The enclave has no armed personnel, and sentries, who are outsourced, are only equipped with lathis, he said. "It's very sad this happened. But it's not right to say an army jawan fired. It could have been the military, police or civilians," he said.

The youngest of four siblings, Dilson was a class five dropout who worked for daily wages to help his ailing father, Kumar, a carpenter. The family lived in Indira Gandhi Nagar, a slum close to the Island Grounds. Crowds comprising Dilson's relatives and neighbours thronged the hospital and army quarters in the evening in protest, blocking traffic and demanding justice. The crowds also surrounded vehicles of ministers who visited the hospital to verify the details.

The police have registered a case of murder (section 302 of IPC). The post-mortem was conducted after dusk. Finance minister O Panneerselvam handed over a cheque for Rs 5 lakh to Dilson's grieving family minutes after the post-mortem. The body of the boy was handed over to the parents after 9.30 pm.
