Dad Couldnt Play For India, He Sees That Dream In Me, Says GGs Newest Recruit Samaira Raghav
Against South Delhi Superstarz: Samaira Raghav was not supposed to be watching the Womens Premier League (WPL) auction. Her parents had asked her to stay away from seeing live feed of the auction proceedings happening in Kochi last week. They feared the weight of hope would be too much for a 16-year-old to carry, in case she doesn't find any takers. A day before the auction, Samaira was one of four late entries that took the WPL 2027 auction pool from 146 to 150 players. She learnt about it from an Instagram story, and then from her mother. My mom quickly messaged me that, I think you are in the auction list now, Samaira recalled in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Monday. Five minutes before her name came up, she switched the feed on anyway at her hotel room in Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, where she is currently playing the U19 Womens T20 Challengers tournament, with her Team D room-mate. Then I saw my name and the Gujarat Giants paddle go up and I was just ecstatic. Both of us screamed at the top of our lungs in the hotel room. Then after that, it was just surreal, she added. Gujarat Giants bought her at her base price of 10 lakh rupees. But for Samaira, it was the first public validation of a dream which began taking shape nine years ago. Born on January 23, 2010, Samairas tryst with sports began with 100m and 200m sprints. But my dad wanted me to try other sports as well because I was very sporty ever since I was young. At seven, her father Sunil Raghav took her to a cricket academy. The first session featured fielding, and it won over Samaira. I just enjoyed it so much. After that day, I just kept going to the academy with my own free will. My dad kind of pushed me into cricket. But from there, I just took over. Sunil played as a leg-spinner until college, before committing to studies, including pursuing an MBA from IIM Calcutta. Sunil later went on to scale technologies at Dow Chemicals, Dr Reddys Laboratories and Total (Arkema Global) in USA and India. I think it was his wish for himself to play cricket at India level. But he could not fulfill it. So, he kind of sees it in me now and I am working on it, said Samaira. Samairas mother, Puja Jain, spent a decade at McKinsey & Company. She rose to partner and co-led its sustainability practice, as well as holds two US patents from research at Penn State University and Dow Chemicals. Today the couple run ElementRe, which specialises in end-to-end lithium-ion battery recycling solutions. While Puja is the CEO, Sunil acts as CTO. In cricket, Samaira started out mainly as a batter. During the Covid-19 lockdown, batting was impossible in their housing society in Gurugram, so Sunil got time to develop her leg-spin skills. We would just go down in our society and I would start bowling. He taught me the basics and from there, I kind of picked up my bowling skills from my dad. As Samaira grew, Sunil stepped back. When I was a bit younger, I wasn't that independent. But after a few years, he let me be independent. I would go and come back by metro. Since then, he has been around. But he just leaves me on his own now. Samaira now trains under Dipti Dhyani, currently the head coach of Delhi's senior women's team, at the City Cricket Academy in Hauz Khas, which is affiliated to the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) and plays under the name Sonnet. It was there that her role changed. As a child she opened the batting. But playing alongside the seniors, Samaira was pushed down the order. Her coaches had one piece of advice: if she gets batting late, she needs to hit sixes. They told me that I should probably develop the skill to hit sixes. So, from there, we started working on it. After that, I would just go and finish matches and everything. I would not feel that much pressure while doing it. That is why I just picked it from there and I really enjoy it, she said. She also saw where womens cricket was rapidly going more towards power-hitting and six-hitting skills. In the earlier days, there was more of grounded cricket. But now, the game has changed. The formats have become shorter and everybody is focussing more on power hitting in sixes. I also thought I would also learn and go with whatever trend is going on. Then, I know it will help me in the future as well if I am hitting sixes. Her role models are two of India's best-known finishers: former captain MS Dhoni and wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh. Obviously, there is MSD. Richa Ghosh now, she is really amazing, said Samaira. The work showed this year in the Women's Delhi Premier League (DPL), where Samaira played for North Delhi Strikers. Against South Delhi Superstarz, Samairas 32 off 26 balls, with two fours and a six, helped her side win by two runs. Against East Delhi Riders, she made an unbeaten 34 off 21 balls and won the game with a six off the penultimate delivery. We took it till the end (against East Delhi). I just thought that I can't really lose from this point. I have to win this. I have come so far in this match. At that ball, I think our bowlers started coming in as batters. There were no more batters that could hit sixes. So, at that ball, I thought we needed a boundary anyhow. Then, I would go for a six only because if I ran a single, then we would probably lose the match. Its because the last batter would not be able to hit a six. After that, I just went for it. Thankfully, it connected and then went for a six, she recalled. The pattern has led to Samaira being in good form. Playing for Delhi in the Under-19 Women's T20 Trophy, she scored 162 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of 216. She was out only three times, while averaging 54, and hitting 14 fours and 12 sixes. In the Under-19 Women's T20 Challenger Trophy, against Team A, Team D side was reeling at 27/3 after eight overs. Samaira came in and hit 78 off 44 balls, hitting six fours and as many sixes, and carried them to 137/6. Against Team B, chasing at more than 10 runs an over, she made an unbeaten 24 off 12 balls, with two fours and as many sixes. In between, Samaira found time to attend two WPL trials - for Mumbai Indians in Mumbai and for Gujarat Giants in Bengaluru. offered only an open net session. Bengaluru was different. At Mumbai Indians, we had an open net session. I could not really get a chance to talk to the coaches. Gujarat Giants, however, they really took notice of me and my six-hitting abilities there in the camp. All of them gave me really positive feedback and a few points to work on which I am working on now. They also took notice of my bowling there. So, the bowling coach, PT, Pravin (Tambe) sir, he really saw that I could also bowl and I had good potential to be a bowler as well. That's why I think now they've picked me. But it was amazing to be part of that camp, she said. Her fielding skills too were noticed by GG coaching staff. We just had one match simulation. I think I stopped one or two boundaries. I don't know if it was that noticeable, but I gave my 100 percent. People who watched her over two days of trials said she struck the ball as hard as anyone present, and that her fielding stood out as compared to other players. Samaira credits the DDCA, and its president Rohan Jaitley, for helping women players get a noticeable platform via DPL. I have been so grateful to DDCA, honestly. They have given us so many opportunities for youngsters to showcase their talent. Now WPL scouts are coming in to watch our games and then kids are getting selected. This time, I think 4-5 people from Delhi are in the WPL. It really makes a difference. So, I am really grateful to DDCA. Rohan Jaitley sir has made so many efforts for women to also be at the same level as men. Like, giving them the same opportunities, playing in the same field and I am really grateful to them. They have actually given us so much exposure. She knows how quickly praise can unsettle a young player. I always think about my roots and where I have come from and where I am now. It really humbles me a lot. I think about those low times that I had when nobody was there except my family and my coaches. It really just makes me feel so much gratitude for everybody who has been there. Her parents, she says, are proud but rarely show it. I think its because they don't show it to me because then they think that I will be really happy about it and not focus on other things. So, they just want to keep me grounded. That's why they just act normal. When nerves build, she dabbles in painting and drawing. Music calms her too - before every match, the last song she hears before stepping off the bus and playing a game has to be 52 Bars by Punjabi singer Karan Aujla. The pure wisdom in young blood reflects in Samairas Instagram bio: Love to play cricket. Beneath it sits a line from the legendary Rahul Dravid You dont play for revenge but play for respect and pride. Samairas next test may pull her away from the WPL, if she is picked for the Under-19 World Cup. But Samaira does not see a conflict, as it will be the first step towards fulfilling her fathers dream. If I also get to be in the U19 World Cup squad, it would actually be so amazing. I feel like I have a duty to my country if I get selected in the U19 World Cup. But right now, all I am thinking about is I just keep performing wherever I go and God will look after the rest. Samairas next test may pull her away from the WPL, if she is picked for the Under-19 World Cup. But Samaira does not see a conflict, as it will be the first step towards fulfilling her fathers dream.

If Constitution is under threat anywhere, it is in Punjab, say Rebel AAP MLAs after joining BJP
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) Three MLAs from Punjab's ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) -- Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, Chetan Singh Jouramajra and Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra -- formally joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the party's central office in New Delhi. The three leaders were inducted into the BJP in the presence of senior party functionaries, including Punjab in-charge Satish Poonia and state unit President Kewal Singh Dhillon. Before formally joining the party, the leaders arrived at the BJP headquarters in the national capital and were seen raising BJP Zindabad slogans. Addressing the media after joining the party, the former AAP legislators launched a sharp attack on the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government, raising concerns over governance, the growing drug menace, extortion rackets, and increasing gangster activities in the state. Vijay Pratap Singh strongly criticised the AAP government, alleging that extortion had developed into an organised industry in Punjab, while gangsterism and drug abuse had reached alarming levels. He also claimed that the state's education system and economy were deteriorating under the burden of mounting debt. Describing his association with the AAP as an internship that had now come to an end, he expressed confidence in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, saying the BJP could restore peace, prosperity and dignity in Punjab. Today, nobody knows who the real Chief Minister of Punjab is -- Bhagwant Mann or Arvind Kejriwal. The people of Punjab have a right to know where the person who misbehaved with Swati Maliwal is currently staying and in which office he is working. He is being protected within the Chief Minister's Office. After spending three days at another location, he is now staying at the PWD Guest House in Amritsar. A person whom the Supreme Court has identified as a criminal is effectively running Punjab today. If the Constitution is under threat anywhere, it is in Punjab. Therefore, we must save the state at any cost, he said. Meanwhile, Pathanmajra spoke about the widespread drug problem in Punjab and referred to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's assurance that the menace would be eliminated once the BJP comes to power in the state. Amit Shah ji always fulfils the promises he makes. We are confident that he will deliver on his commitment to eliminate the drug menace. Punjab needs the BJP at this point. Only a BJP government can pull the state out of the growing debt crisis, drug abuse, and the threat posed by gangsters, he said. Drawing a comparison with Uttar Pradesh, he said people in Punjab wanted the BJP to replicate the level of law and order and crime control achieved under the party's 'double-engine' government in the neighbouring state. Jouramajra, addressing the press conference, also criticised the AAP government's performance, arguing that Punjab needed the same political party in power at both the Centre and the state to ensure development. If Punjab has to be brought out of the present situation, the same party must govern both the Centre and the state. Only then can genuine development take place. In nearly five years, the state's revenue has not increased, no major industries have been established, and there has been no significant investment in industrial development. Instead, several major industrial hubs have fallen into a state of decline, he said. Jouramajra further alleged that the AAP government had failed to live up to the vision and promises it had presented before the people during the elections. He claimed that the government's assurances across different sectors had remained largely unfulfilled, particularly in education. He also alleged that AAP MLAs were not given the freedom to question the party's decisions. We were given directions by the party, and all the MLAs simply followed them blindly, like sheep. That was how things were functioning. Now, we will take Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji's policies and vision to every household and work towards forming a BJP government in Punjab. The objective is to free the state from gangsterism and all the other problems it is currently facing, he said. Highlighting the devastating impact of drug abuse on families across Punjab, Jouramajra said the crisis had affected almost every section of society, with families losing their loved ones to substance abuse. Punjab needs to be freed from drugs. Today, every mother, sister and family in the state is suffering. A sister loses her husband and is left widowed. There are instances where two members of the same family die within 35 days, while in some cases, nearly 30 people from a single village lose their lives within a short period. If someone needs milk, they have to get out of their house to get it. But if someone wants chitta (heroin), all they need to do is make a phone call, and it is delivered right to their doorstep. This is the situation in Punjab today. When you are part of the party, you are not even allowed to raise your voice against what is happening, Jouramajra added.
'Don't Take Us For Granted': Delhi Court Raps Nora Fatehi's Absence in Extortion Case Proceedings
Delhi court summons actor Nora Fatehi to appear on November 6 as a witness in the Rs 200 crore extortion case involving conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.
Pyaar Ke Side Effects (2006) completed 20 years on September 16 this year. The film was a one-of-a-kind romantic comedy for Bollywood. Director Saket Chaudhary's execution was unique, the plot and characters were relatable, and the humour was refreshingly different. Rahul Bose was highly entertaining in the lead role, while Mallika Sherawat, who was largely being typecast in bold roles until then, got an opportunity to showcase a different side of her acting abilities. Moreover, Pritam's soulful and peppy music continues to be popular even today. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rahul Bose went down memory lane and shared fond memories of working on Pyaar Ke Side Effects. When asked whether it was one of the most special films of his career, Rahul Bose replied, Yes, definitely. When Saket decided to cast Mallika, he and I kept discussing how we could now change the dialogues and her character. After all, he was a South Mumbai ka ladka while she was a Punjaban from Delhi. She doesnt know big English words. She drinks a lot. All those things happened once he cast Mallika. So, we were very, very collaborative and great friends throughout the making of the film. Hence, bahut maza aaya. He added, Mallika was a delight to work with. She was so much fun and she worked really hard. And shes good in that film. One of the film's most entertaining aspects was how its protagonist, Sid (Rahul Bose), regularly broke the fourth wall and interacted directly with the audience. Rahul Bose remarked, I think its definitely one of my best pieces of work. I had broken the fourth wall to some extent in my films English, August (1994) and Mumbai Matinee (2003) as well. I am very used to breaking the fourth wall on stage as well. I had done about 14 plays on stage. But this was written in such a clever way. Rahul Bose also recalled how audiences would erupt with laughter while watching the film in cinemas. He revealed, My friends and well-wishers used to send me videos from cinema halls. They would tell me, Dekho kitne log hass rahe hain or Mera pati bol raha hai ki main aisi hoon or Meri patni bol rahi hain ki main aisa hoon. So, it struck a chord. Interestingly, Bollywood has recently witnessed a trend of reviving popular films with sequels after a gap of two decades or more, as seen with Gadar 2 (2023) and Border 2 (2026). This naturally raises the question of whether Pyaar Ke Side Effects could also get a sequel; audiences would love to know what Sid (Rahul Bose) and Trisha (Mallika Sherawat) are up to 20 years later. When we floated the idea of Pyaar Ke Side Effects 2, Rahul Bose came up with a hilarious response. He quipped, If they wait any longer, itll be called Maut Ke Side Effects!

Mehbooba questions NC over Kashmirs political, emotional disconnect with Centre
Srinagar, Nov 02: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Monday criticised the ruling National Conference (NC), blaming its leadership for the growing disconnect between Jammu and Kashmir and the Centre. Addressing a mega workers convention organised to mark the PDPs Foundation Day at Sher-e-Kashmir Park in Srinagar, Mehbooba questioned why Kashmiris continued to face suspicion, stating that youngsters were being harassed, Kashmiri employees removed from service and tribal communities evicted. Why does Hindustan have so much suspicion about us? Our youngsters are being beaten, Kashmiri officers are being removed from service and tribals are being evicted. This needs to be thought about, she said. Taking a swipe at the NC, Mehbooba said the party had buried the demand for autonomy after shifting from the prime ministerial to the chief ministerial system. She also blamed the NC leadership for the difficult years of militancy in Kashmir, saying that people suffered during its rule and accusing the party of using Ikhwan forces during that period. Referring to NC president Farooq Abdullahs remarks on Pakistan, Mehbooba said Kashmiris had already made their choice and stood with India. Recalling Sheikh Mohammad Abdullahs role in Jammu and Kashmirs accession to India, she said he had reposed faith in the country despite the region being Muslim-majority. She also referred to his association with former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi. Mehbooba said Sheikh Abdullah had brought former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to Jammu and Kashmir to help restore peace and also referred to the construction of the Mughal Road. *PDP formed to restore J&Ks dignity* Mehbooba said the PDP was founded with the objective of restoring Jammu and Kashmirs dignity and identity, asserting that the party had never pursued a double agenda. She urged the Government of India to initiate dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, questioning how long the region could be governed through force. Referring to the developments in Delhi on October 10, she said the government should understand the anger and concerns among the people rather than attempt to project peace through coercive measures. Mehbooba also warned against attempts to alter Jammu and Kashmirs identity, saying those seeking to undermine the region would themselves face consequences(KNO)
