'Met Virat But Couldn't Speak, Felt Nervous': Pooja Vastrakar Recalls Star-struck Moment
Met Virat Kohli: Even as one of India's most experienced all-rounders and a regular presence in the national setup, Pooja Vastrakar isn't immune to feeling starstruck. The Indian woman cricketer, currently captaining Chambal Ghariyals in the Women's MPL T20, recalled a chance meeting with Virat Kohli in South Africa and admitted that nerves got the better of her, preventing her from striking up a conversation with one of Indian cricket's biggest icons. I met Virat in South Africa. But I didn't talk to him. Because we were at the airport, and I thought he was occupied. I was nervous, maybe, so I didnt speak to him because hes someone with a busy schedule. And I never felt the need for it. Because if you go to the NCA (BCCI CoE), you meet all the players there. There are coaches. We have so many senior players in our team. So, they help us with small things. So, I didn't talk to him at that level, Pooja, who also represents RCB, told IANS during an exclusive interaction. The candid admission offered a rare glimpse into the human side of one of India's most experienced all-rounders, who has represented the country across formats and featured in the Women's Premier League for both the Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Away from franchise cricket, Pooja is currently focused on leading the Chambal Ghariyals in the Women's MPL T20, a tournament she believes is an important stepping stone for aspiring cricketers. This platform is very big for girls. And when they get a platform, they get a chance to show their skills. And when there's a tournament like this, all the scout members are involved, and they have an eye on the players. And I think even they know that this is a big platform for the players and that theyre working hard. So, any good innings or a good moment, even if it's a ball, it's good for them to go to the camps, whenever there are any, she said. Asked what separates future India players from the rest, Pooja pointed to discipline as the defining quality. I think discipline is very important. Because a lot of people work hard, a lot of people have talent. But the discipline, if you're bowling an over, can you deliver all the 6 balls exactly the way the captain wants you to? If you're batting, if the score is 120, can you stay till the end and chase it down? That is where discipline is crucial in making a player a star, Pooja expressed. As captain, Pooja said her responsibilities extend far beyond her individual performances. When we play for India, we have our own responsibilities, and that sense builds in. But when you're a captain for a franchise in MPL or even the state team, for that matter, you have to act responsibly, not just for yourself but also for the 15 members plus supporting staff. And there are a lot of responsibilities. Thinking about the team, taking it to the finals, all the ups and downs. The atmosphere should be very good. So, things are very different when it comes to responsibility. But as a player, I've liked taking responsibility since childhood. So, I'm enjoying my captaincy, she noted. One of the most dependable all-rounders, Pooja said she has never felt that any part of her contribution to the national team has gone unnoticed. No, I've never felt that way. Whenever they needed me to bat, I have scored for them. Even in bowling, in all phases, in all formats. And I have always reaped rewards from it, she stated. Looking back on her own journey, the 25-year-old said the belief shown in her abilities from an early stage helped her become the player she is today. Even then, everyone believed in Pooja. They knew that she was very talented and would play for India one day. And not only will she play, but she'll also become an impactful player. And touchwood, that's what happened. So, I'm grateful, yeah. I've seen a lot of difference at a smaller level in myself from that time to now. Because when you make your debut, there are ups and downs. It's a little difficult to handle. But as you gain experience, your attitude changes and you become cool, calm, and composed, she mentioned. Looking back on her own journey, the 25-year-old said the belief shown in her abilities from an early stage helped her become the player she is today. Also Read: Live Cricket Score My message is that they are doing a good job, and they should continue playing the same way. And bring the T20 World Cup home just like they brought home the ODI World Cup, Pooja said. Article Source: IANS

Know Before You Pledge: Bajaj Finance's Gold Loan Calculator Gives Borrowers a Real Number
India's households collectively hold an estimated 25,000 tonnes of gold, one of the largest private gold reserves in the world. Yet when a financial need arises, most owners have no clear sense of what that gold can unlock. They walk into a branch not knowing whether their jewellery qualifies for Rs. 50,000 or Rs. 5 lakh. Bajaj Finance Gold Loan Bajaj Finance's gold loan calculator is designed to change that. It gives borrowers a verified, methodology-backed loan estimate before they pledge a single gram removing the guesswork from one of India's most widely used secured credit products. How the loan amount is actually calculated Understanding what drives the eligible loan amount helps borrowers make better pledging decisions. The calculation starts with three inputs: the weight of the gold in grams, its purity in karats, and the applicable gold rate. Where most borrowers go wrong is assuming the rate used is the live market price they see on a financial app. It is not. Bajaj Finance values pledged gold at the lower of the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. This is a deliberate, RBI-aligned methodology, it protects both the borrower and the lender from short-term price volatility and ensures the loan is structured on a stable valuation basis. Once the gold value is established, the RBI-prescribed Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio of up to 85% is applied to arrive at the final eligible loan amount. For example, if a borrower pledges 22-karat gold valued at Rs. 2 lakh, they may be eligible for a loan of up to Rs. 1.70 lakh. Why using the calculator before applying matters gold loan calculator is a planning tool. Borrowers can model multiple scenarios: pledging more gold to access a higher amount, adjusting tenure to reduce monthly outgo, or comparing total interest across short and long repayment periods. A borrower who needs 3 lakh but only models Rs. 2 lakh worth of gold walks into the branch under-prepared. The calculator prevents that. Bajaj Finance's gold loan calculator is available on their website and app, accessible from anywhere in India Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, or a Tier-3 town. Documents required for gold loan documents required for gold loan applications with Bajaj Finance are minimal. Borrowers need just one valid KYC document which may be an Aadhaar card, Voter ID, passport, driving licence, , NREGA job card, or a letter from the National Population Register. No income proof, no salary slips, and no bank statements are needed a meaningful distinction from unsecured loan products where income documentation can delay or derail an application. Key features of a Bajaj Finance gold loan Loan amounts from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 2 crore Interest rates are significantly lower than most unsecured loan options, making gold loans a cost-effective borrowing choice Multiple repayment monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual basis No foreclosure charges Same-day disbursal in most cases Free insurance on pledged gold How to apply Borrowers can begin the application process online by visiting the Bajaj Finance website or app, entering their mobile number, verifying with an OTP, selecting their nearest branch, and downloading their in-principal eligibility letter. The gold is assessed physically at the branch, and funds are credited on the same day in most cases. T&C Apply. About Bajaj Finance Limited Bajaj Finance Ltd. (BFL, Bajaj Finance, or the Company), a subsidiary of Bajaj Finserv Ltd., is a deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC-D) registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and is classified as an NBFC-Investment and Credit Company (NBFC-ICC).

Graham Pybus: Afghanistan head coach Graham Pybus conceded his side's shortcomings after their humiliating innings-and-300-run defeat to India in New Chandigarh, admitting the team looked usty and aive in only their 13th Test match since gaining Test status nearly nine years ago. Just over half an hour into the third session of Monday's play, India sealed their one-off Test victory, bowling Afghanistan out for 152 and 112 following a massive 564/8 declared of their own. It was the second time Afghanistan suffered a big defeat at the hands of India, who previously secured an innings and 262-run win in Bengaluru in 2018. Speaking after the thumping loss, Pybus confessed Afghanistan's inexperience with the longest format of the game poses the biggest obstacle. We were rusty, we showed our naivety, and there's plenty of work to be done, he told reporters after the match. The England-born coach, who took over from Jonathan Trott earlier this year, went on to state that the only way Afghanistan could compete with the more established nations in the game of Test cricket was to play the format on a more regular basis. I think... In the same way that the white ball side has developed, you only develop through fixtures. Since being granted full member status of the ICC, Afghanistan have played 13 Test matches, winning 4, losing 8, and drawing one. He also used the journey of Bangladesh as an example of how a relatively new side to the format could improve if afforded regular opportunities. I was with Pakistan when we played Bangladesh ...

Shortage of Cisplatin and Carboplatin is threat to cancer pateints alerts Top Experts
New Delhi , June 8 : The shortage of platinum-based cancer drugs like Cisplatin and Carboplatin is a threat to cancer care treatment, the top Experts from AIIMS Delhi stated, as these drugs play a crucial role in the treatment of cancer like head and neck, lung, ovarian, bladder, and gastrointestinal cancers. As a surgical oncologist at AIIMS Delhi, I view the reported shortage of cisplatin and carboplatin as a critical threat to cancer care. These platinum-based agents are backbone drugs in treating common malignancieshead and neck, lung, ovarian, bladder, and gastrointestinal cancers. In my practice, I frequently integrate them with surgery as HIPEC and in multimodal protocols; their absence compromises neoadjuvant and adjuvant strategies, directly impacting survival and recurrence rates, a top expert said. He further said that disruptions of these drugs can worsen the treatment, Prolonged disruptions force clinicians to substitute with less effective regimens or delay treatment, both of which worsen outcomes. For operable disease, neoadjuvant chemotherapy may be withheld, converting potentially curable cases into unresectable ones. In palliative settings, symptom control and quality of life deteriorate without adequate systemic therapy. The top expert further called for immediate intervention to expedite the domestic production of Cisplatin and Carboplatin. We need immediate intervention: expediting domestic production, strategic stockpiling by national programs, and transparent supply-chain oversight. Till then, patient counselling must be honest about risks, and multidisciplinary teams must prioritise the most vulnerable cases. This crisis reminds us that surgical oncology cannot succeed without reliable access to essential chemotherapy. He said regarding prioritising these drugs for vulnerable cases The drugs Cisplatin and carboplatin are linked to the shortage Beauregard of limited availability of platinum-based raw material. Speaking about the shortage, Rajiv Singhal, General Secretary, All India Organisation of Chemists & Druggists (AIOCD) said, The current shortage of Cisplatin, Carboplatin and certain other oncology medicines is primarily linked to the limited availability of platinum-based raw materials globally over the past few months. Industry sources have indicated that this is a supply-chain challenge and not a pricing issue. Manufacturers are making every effort to secure adequate raw materials and restore normal supplies. Considering the critical importance of these medicines for cancer treatment, we urge the Government of India to facilitate the availability of essential raw materials so that patients do not face any disruption in therapy. Additionally, Dr Mansi Khanderia, Senior Consultant -Medical Oncology, SPARSH Hospitals, Bengaluru, expressed concern that the shortage can directly impact timelines of treatments, outcomes and confidence of patients. Shortage of some essential chemotherapy drugs like cisplatin and carboplatin is a very serious concern since these medicines form the foundation of treatment for several kinds of cancers, including lungs, ovarian, bladder, head and neck and testicular cancers as well. Any delay or disruption in their availability can directly impact the timelines of treatments, outcomes and confidence of patients. Cancer-related care is very time sensitive, and patients should not have to face uncertainty around access to life-saving medicines. There is also an urgent need for stronger supply chain planning, a transparent level of monitoring, and well-coordinated access to ensure uninterrupted availability of critical cancer drugs for every kind of patient who needs them, she said. Dr Niti Raizada, Principal Director Medical Oncology & Hemato-Oncology, Fortis Hospitals, Bengaluru, said, Cisplatin and Carboplatin are among the most important and widely used chemotherapy drugs in oncology. They form the backbone of treatment for several common cancers, such as lung, head and neck, cervical, ovarian, bladder, and testicular cancers. In many situations these medicines are used with a cure-driven intent , so they play a crucial role in improving survival and overall treatment outcomes. The patients who would feel any shortage the most are typically those already undergoing active chemotherapy, especially people with newly diagnosed cancers, patients receiving simultaneous chemoradiation, and those whose treatment protocols specifically ask for platinum-based drugs. When limited availability happens, it can seriously slow timely cancer care and disrupt treatment planning. Yes, shortages of these drugs can disrupt treatment schedules. In some situations, chemotherapy cycles may need to be delayed until the medication becomes available, while in others, oncologists may have to consider alternative treatment regimens based on the patients condition and cancer type. However, alternatives may not always offer the same level of evidence or suitability as the standard platinum-based protocol. Such disruptions can create significant anxiety for patients and clinicians alike, particularly when treatment is being given with curative intent, where maintaining the planned schedule is extremely important for achieving the best possible outcomes. She added According to Dr. Shayam Aggarwal, Chairperson, Medical Oncology, Sir Gangaram Hospital, the shortage is across the country In the entire country, we are facing a shortage of two extremely potent and commonly used anti-cancer drugs, the names being cis-platinum and carboplatinum. There is an acute shortage of these drugs we are facing for the last two to three weeks and now in the pharmacy of our hospital and our you know sister hospital we dont have the availability of cis-platinum and carboplatinum. So these two drugs are extremely potent and they are used in first-line therapy for a variety of cancers which are common in India, like lung cancer, oral cancer, cervix cancer, uterine cancer, ovary cancer, testicular cancer and so on. He further said that doctors have discussed the shortage of medicines with pharmaceutical companies,So nearly 60-70% of patients who have advanced cancer they do require cis-platinum or carboplatinum. So since weve been facing this difficulty for the last two three weeks we started to discuss this matter with the pharmaceutical companies as to why it is short and the explanation being given by the companies is that these two drugs come under DPCO where the government has fixed an MRP and so the problem which has happened possibly due to the Gulf War that the API that is the you know active ingredient is imported from South Africa and Russia and other countries so because of the shortage of that product the price has gone up
