When Kamala Harris had announced her bid, she had been everyone’s golden girl and the desi community had the delightful prospect of perhaps a US president named Kamala Devi Harris and whose mother was an immigrant from Chennai, writes Lavina Melwani.

The company has already discontinued over 50 BS-IV products and over the next 1-2 months would probably move towards BS-VI with the entire range, he said.

He said the aim is to become a global company at every level. "So, there is gender diversity, there is cultural diversity and there is the diversity of different nations, which are becoming part of Hero," added Munjal.

A young woman in Hyderabad faced every woman’s worst nightmare. Her two-wheeler was deliberately punctured, she was kidnapped by 4 men, who raped her, and then burned her. Her body was discovered the next day. Some reports suggest that she was still alive when she was set aflame.

Parliament has been discussing rape. And amongst the comments heard is why we must lynch rapists. While popular sentiment, and public rage may indeed impel such actions, the fact remains that the state cannot go around lynching people without trial. The other extreme of this ‘take them out and hang them’ stance is ‘we need more laws’ view.

The experts who are suggesting solutions to the government for tackling the current episode of economic slowdown must remember that "laissez-faire" is not an option in India. Any solution to the economic problem must adhere to the principle of socialism, i.e., how the policy will benefit the last man standing of the street. Any policy suggestion to the contrary would be like telling a banking company to sell onions.

Also, the commentators wasting their time discussing the disparateness of the latest Maharashtra alliance must realise that once inside the Mantralaya (seat of Maharashtra government), all parties must be "secular" and "socialist" and bow to the Tricolor and no other ensign.

Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin on Tuesday announced that they are stepping down from the leadership role of Alphabet and that Sundar Pichai will replace Page as the CEO of the parent company. Pichai will continue to be the CEO of Google.

The Google CEO has attained global popularity with his poised demeanour, simplicity and dedication towards work. And it is this dedication that has got him where he is now.

From lacking resources to buy even basic things like a refrigerator to among the top 100 CEOs in the United States, Sundar Pichai has had quite a journey.

Pichai, in an interview to The New York Times last year, had shared some lesser-known details about this journey. In the interview, he recalled his childhood and talked about what growing up in India felt like.

slowly but surely, the airline has moved away from a pure LCC strategy. Complexity has been introduced to the business model and this will only grow with the introduction of long-haul routes like London. As volumes have grown, overall customer experience has declined – a view echoed by several travellers.

Uddhav Thackeray has already asked MMRCL to stop work at the site and are currently evaluating alternate options. Not only this, but Thackeray has also ordered to withdraw cases against the Aarey protestors.

As a resident of Mumbai, this is extremely disappointing because politicians are using the city's prime requirement as a means to further their agenda, writes Shivam Vahia.

Uddhav Thackeray should keep politics aside and think about the millions of people affected every day. Trees have been cut and the dead cannot be brought back to life. It's time we move on and stop creating an issue out of everything just for the sake of opposition, he adds.
