COVER STORY

04 | TUESDAY 22 MARCH 2016

By Mobin Pandit The Peninsula

A book on the Indian expatri-

ate community in Qatar, a

first such initiative of its kind,

is just out and making waves.

It highlights some amazing rags-to-

riches stories of Indians, among oth-

er information about, and activities of,

Qatar’s largest expatriate community.

Written by Nilangshu Dey, an Indi-

an himself, the book features some in-

credible tales of Indians who landed

here bare-handed and became billion-

aires over time.

Though the Indian population in

Qatar is huge and success stories are

numerous, Dey has sampled 35 of

them that merit attention.

A homesick young man who want-

ed to return to India only a week af-

ter he landed a job here, became a

famous businessman after he was

prompted to stay on for a while and

give it a try.

Another Indian who turned a busi-

ness tycoon over time and now has

business interests in several countries,

came here in 1979 to work in a Paki-

stani-run company at a paltry monthly

salary of QR1,500.

Known as the ‘LG Man’, media-shy

C V Rappai, came here to work as a

salesman and is now Director and Gen-

eral Manager of Video Home and Elec-

tronics Centre.

Hailed as the father of the car rent-

al business in Qatar, K P Abdul Hameed,

is also featured in the book along with

his relative and business magnate, A K

Usman.

The most inspiring story is, perhaps,

that of Aboobacker Madappat, who

came here to work as an office boy at a

car rental company years ago, and now

owns the Safari chain of hypermarkets.

The hardcover 200-page book with

mug shots of people and visuals of

buildings, wherever necessary, is titled

The Indian Odyssey in Qatar… A Voyage

of 50 Glorious Years of Great Indian

Convergence with Qatar.

Priced at QR35, the book is availa-

ble at the main Al Jarir store and all its

branches, as also at the Indian Cultural

Centre (ICC) in Al Mamoura.

Nearly a thousand copies are al-

ready sold out, and Dey was in New

Delhi on March 6 to present copies to

India’s External Affairs Minister, it is un-

derstood.

Dey is a gold medallist automa-

tion engineer from West Bengal state

in eastern India and has been based

in Doha working in the energy sector

since April 2000.

In fact, he first landed here in 1998

but went over to Dubai only to return

two years later.

Soft-spoken, suave and sociable,

Dey is basically a man of the masses,

so to say, and remains too involved in

community welfare activities.

He founded the Indian Club and

headed for years on end a key Indi-

an community’s welfare corpus. The

Indian Community Benevolent Forum

(ICBF) affiliated to the Indian embassy,

helps Indians in distress. That position

put Dey in constant touch with promi-

nent fellow Indians and the communi-

ty at large.

He knew so many compatriots from

close quarters and the success stories

of some of them and the selfless com-

munity services rendered by many ac-

tivists, eventually inspired him to write

the book.

“The Indian community being so

large and with so many fellow Indians

doing good work, there was no book,

so I thought of writing one,” said Dey.

Dey said he spent more than two

years writing the book and got it print-

ed — the print run being 5,000 copies

— spending his own money.

He didn’t solicit advertisements

and sponsorships which would have

made the book a commercial venture

and put a question mark on its objec-

tivity.

“It is purely a work I have done from

my heart and dedicated it to the com-

munity,” Dey said of the book in re-

marks to Doha Today.

“I have priced it at QR35 a copy…and

I would be happy if I recover the cost—

the money I have spent.”

COVER STORY


Dey said he has already been ap-

proached by the Pakistani and Egyp-

tian expatriate communities as they

want similar books written on their

communities.

Dey’s book is divided into seven

chapters — Indians in Major Sectors

in Qatar, Prominent Indian Achiev-

ers, Prominent Community Activ-

ists, Embassy and Apex Bodies, Indi-

an Schools, Indian Professional Bodies

and, finally, Prominent Indian Organi-

sations.

The book begins by estimating the

size of the Indian community in Qa-

tar, at a 650,000-strong, and features

some long-staying expatriates.

Among them are Syed Abdul Hye,

A K Usman, Mohammad Thabith, K

Thomas John (Roy), Aboo Backer, and

Dinabnadhu Samanta.

And then follow some famous In-

dian restaurateurs and legendary ea-

teries such as the Bismillah Restaurant

which was set up in 1960 at Souq Wa-

qif.

Dey notes that Qatar now has over

45 full-fledged Indian cuisine restau-

rants comprising five-star eating out-

lets, signature restaurants and eateries

for upper and lower middle class.

John Mathew’s Sterling Group, nat-

urally, finds a prominent mention. The

vegetarian restaurant Sukh Sagar’s Ni-

tin Moti Shroff is featured, too, with

others.

There is a section on the media in

this chapter and the three English dai-

lies and the role of Indian journalists is

given in some detail.

P P Hyder Haji, from Kerala in India,

who came here in the early 1960s as a

young man in a ship from Mumbai and

later founded the Family Food Centre

is featured in the section on ‘Hyper-

market Honchos’, along with Devi Das

Aswani, of ‘Mega Mart’, Mohamed Al-

thaf, from Lulu, Aboobacker Madappat,

of Safari and Shamusdheen Olakara, of

Quality Group.

In the medical section appear Dr

K C Chacko, Dr K M R Mathew, Dr K P

Arun, and Dr Sameer Kalandan, while

Walter Dias, Farukh Sardar, and P K

Ashraf are featured in the section ded-

icated to the travel and tourism trade.

Some exchange houses Indians run

are mentioned with the people head-

ing them and then there are the Indi-

an achievers.

C K Menon, Dr Mohan Thomas,

James Chacko, M Rajan, Azim Abbas,

Hassan Kunhi, Aboobackr Madappat,

C V Rappai, M S Bukhari, Gope Shaha-

ni, Hassan Chougule, R Seetharaman,

Devidas Aswani, Shamsudheen Olaka-

ra, M P Shafi of M P Traders, N V Kader

and Harish Kanjani, among others, find

a prominent mention in this section.

Ganesh Srinivasan who is no more

with us has been featured, too. He was

alive when the book was being written.

The other person who isn’t any

more and is featured in the book in

the section on Community Activists is

Abdul Khadar Haji, popularly known as

Hajika, a long-time humanitarian work-

er who was responsible for repatriat-

ing bodies of thousands of expatri-

ates (not of fellow Indians alone) home

since the late 1960s.

Kareem Abdulla, K K Usman, Mani

Rathi, Rockey Fernandes, P N Babura-

jan, Divakar Poojary, K C Abdullatheef,

Saleem Ponnambath, Arvind Patil, An-

imesh Sarkar, Milaan Arun and Moham-

ed Habibun Nabi are also featured in

the section on Community Activists.

There is a chapter dedicated to the

Indian embassy, the ICBF, the ICC and

the Indian Business and Professional

Network (IBPN).

Of the 13 Indian schools in Qatar, 11

find mention. The two opened up later.

Then, there are Indian profession-

al organisations like the Institution of

Engineers’ Qatar Chapter, the Indian

Doctors’ Club and Medical Associa-

tion, and the Doha Chapter of the Insti-

tute of Chartered Accountants of India,

among others.

The last chapter of the book is on

Indian community organisations that

are many.

COMMUNITY

Hanging tough until the last sec-

onds, Pampanga Dragons

downed Jireh Eagle, 71-68, in a

cliff hanger game to capture the crown

of the Aspirants Division in the 19th

Season of Pinoy Basketball of Qatar

(PIBAQ).

The story could have been totally

different had Jireh’s Assic Urminta con-

verted the basket with two seconds

left since they just behind by point, 68-

69, but as the game would have it was

tough luck for them.

Fate was not really kind to them as

there was another chance coming when

the ball kick out went to reliable Don

Tabol who still could not see daylight to

convert it from the rainbow territory.

Adding woes to their heartbreak-

ing defeat was the foul committed by

Rafael Coronel to finals Most Valuable

Player (MVP) Rommel Rodriguez who

sank the two baskets in the free throw

line before the final buzzer.

There was thundering applause

from the fans when the buzzer sound-

ed since it was been a long time that

the team from Pampanga in Central

Luzon Philippines that they were hun-

gry to get the coveted crown.

It was too painful for Jireh since

they were in comfortable lead by 10

points early in the third quarter, 45-35,

only to be eaten alive as the clock slow-

ly ticked away before the game ended.

William Quinones, Rodriguez’s

team-mate who played consistently at

the top of his games throughout the

season, was named 19th Season MVP.

Aside from the two MVPs, other

players who made it to the elite myth-

ical five selection were Tabol as best

guard, Gyrlou Paulin of Junalvin NSTC

and Gerald Tan Alipo-on of Lipa Batan-

gas team as best forwards.

Pampanga coach Oliver Miravel

was named best coach. Junalvin won

over Lipa Batangas, 70-68, to finish

third place.

The PIBAQ 19th Season is present-

ed by Alicafe with the support of Phil-

ippine Embassy and Qatar Basketball

Federation and sponsored by Ooredoo

and Diana Jewellery & Watches.

ACD holds Asean Family Day

The Asean Committee in Doha (ACD) organised a Family Day event on Sat-

urday at the Barzan Olympic Park. It was attended by ambassadors and

over 150 staff and their families from the seven embassies representing Bru-

nei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and

Vietnam.

The participants were treated to a wide array of fun-filled activities such

as golf-putting, tug-of-war and traditional games. Children also participated

in a quiz which tested their knowledge of Asean and its history. The partici-

pants were awarded gifts sponsored by Lulu Hypermarket. Rounding off the

event was a feast for the participants which featured delicacies from each of

the ASEAN countries. The annual event is part of a series of activities that

are organised throughout the year by the ACD to promote camaraderie and

healthy living among the Asean community in Qatar.

As part of International Women’s Day celebration, Sharq Village & Spa,

in collaboration with Future 318 held a health and wellbeing event for

women at the hotel’s new C-Lounge Al Dana Restaurant.

Speakers included Queens without Scars founder and Mrs Universe

2014 Yezenia Navarro, Health & Wellness Coach Anahi Brown and Direc-

tor of Six Senses Spa Francisca Antunes. Yezenia Navarro said that to live a

balance life one must focus on both the internal and external aspects of life.

Brown stressed on the importance of self-care and self-love and called

on all the women to make each day Women’s Day.

Antunes said that there is actually no recipe for success. “If you are

not happy with where you are now, start looking for a change. There are

enough choices out there for you. If you had met me 15 years ago, you

would not have believed I would be working in a spa. I have made my own

path based on what I went through, good or bad, and that is my model.

You can create your own model.” Antunes is currently the regional manag-

er for 10 spas.

Fashion for women for the New

Look Spring/Summer 2016 season

is heavily influenced by hothouse flo-

rals, graphic and sporty silhouettes

and a sophisticated twist on 90s

trends.

Street-ready jackets, pale wash

denims, pleated skirts, lace accents

and boudoir-inspired dresses and

camisoles are expressed in neutral

colour palettes, highlighted with siz-

zling pops of colour that emulate the

warm weather season.

Castaway ushers in the season

with rumpled denims, washed lin-

en, macramé and embroidery. Wo-

ven stripes, dip dyes and slub jersey

contribute to the overall vintage look

and feel. Shells, straw, embroidery

and woven fabrics crown the carefree

pieces made for warm weather loung-

ing.

Shades of khaki, grey, black and

white usher in the Geo Sport trend.

Easy wear pieces take on athletic un-

dertones in relaxed silhouettes. Sport-

ing detail is reflected in bomber jack-

ets, sleek tops, knit pencil skirts and

wide leg cropped trousers.

Embellished looks are also key fo-

cal points of Native Soul, featuring

western and folk emphasis in a col-

our palette of tobacco, cream, smoky

black and cherry red. Woven frabi-

cand linen blends appear throughout,

especially when accented with pom-

pom trims and fringe. Dresses are a

key highlight in patchwork chevron

prints with smock detailing or yoke

embroidery. Patchwork lace tops and

distressed denim further compliment

the wardrobe.

Ruffles, raw edges and boudoir

flourishes are articulated in the slip

dresses, playsuits and ice wash den-

im characteristic of 90s Romance.

Soft and feminine neutrals anchor

the trend with shades of mink and

black accented with stripes on co-

ords.

FOOD

By Joe YonanThe Washington Post

My favourite thing about mak-

ing a vegetarian shepherd’s

pie has been thinking about

that name. Purists know

that a traditional shepherd’s pie needs

to contain not the usual ground beef,

but lamb — because, of course, that’s

where the shepherd comes in. Techni-

cally, they’ll tell you, if it features beef,

it’s a cottage pie.

That would be why I’ve seen a lot

of vegetarian versions named “shep-

herdless pie.” And I started to go that

way, too.

But then I realised: Why couldn’t

this mythical shepherd — whose job is

to tend the flock, protect it and help

it graze, but not eat it — be vegetar-

ian? Or at least appreciate a vegetar-

ian meal?

The point is, any hardworking

shepherd (or farmer or banker or jour-

nalist, for that matter) can appreciate

the heartiness of this dish, especially

during February’s chill. I got my lentil-

focused version from The Plantiful Ta-

ble, a new book by Andrea Duclos, the

South Florida writer behind the blog

ohdeardrea. The brilliance of Duclos’s

recipe is in the layering of the mixture

with the requisite corn and potatoes

in a casserole dish and baking it.

For the top layer, I cobbled togeth-

er a quick mash from a few large po-

tatoes that I boiled and combined with

yogurt, cream and salt. But this is a

perfect use for leftovers, and not just

potatoes. You could switch to sweet

potatoes in a heartbeat, but this would

also work nicely topped with cauliflow-

er, carrot or parsnip puree.

Just ask yourself: What vegetables

would a shepherd crave at the end of

a long day in the pastures?

Lentil shepherd’s pie6 to 8 servings. MAKE AHEAD: The

assembled pie can be refrigerated for

up to 3 days before baking.

Ingredients

1 ½ tablespoons olive oil1 medium onion, diced1 large carrot, diced

1 celery rib, diced½ cup stemmed and diced shi-

itake mushrooms (may substitute button or other mushrooms of your choice)

½ cup diced zucchini½ teaspoon fine sea salt, or more

as needed4 cloves garlic, finely choppedLeaves from a few sprigs fresh

thyme2 teaspoons minced fresh rose-

mary, or more as needed1 teaspoon dried oregano1 cup dried green lentils2 ½ cups no-salt-added vege-

table broth (see Scrappy Vegetable Broth at washingtonpost.com/reci-pes), or more as needed

1 ½ tablespoons red vinegarFreshly ground black pepper1 ½ cups fresh, frozen or canned

(and drained) corn kernels3 cups mashed potatoes

Steps

Heat the oil in a large skillet over

medium heat. Once the oil shim-

mers, stir in the onion, carrot and

celery; cook until the vegetables sof-

ten, three to five minutes. Add the

mushrooms and zucchini; cook until

the mushrooms wilt and soften and

the onion is translucent, three to four

minutes. Sprinkle in the ½ teaspoon

of salt.

Stir in the garlic, thyme, rosemary

and oregano; cook for one minute,

then add the lentils and broth. Cook,

uncovered, until the lentils are al

dente (firm and just tender), adding

more broth as needed, 25 to 35 min-

utes. Finish with the red vinegar, pep-

per and another pinch of rosemary, if

desired. Taste, and add more salt as

needed.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Spread the lentil mixture across the

bottom of an oven-safe casserole

dish. If the mixture seems too dry,

add a splash of broth to moisten it.

Sprinkle an even layer of corn over the

lentil mixture.

Carefully smooth the mashed po-

tatoes across the top.

Cover loosely with aluminium foil;

bake for 30 minutes or until heated

through; you should be able to see a

bit of the liquid gently bubbling from

underneath. Serve warm.

FASHION

AP

It would have been a pretty fine Marc

Jacobs fashion show by virtue of the

clothes alone, but the designer who

closed out New York Fashion Week

every season had something else up

his very voluminous sleeves.

Wedged into his lineup of models

was none other than Lady Gaga, unh-

eralded and apparently little noticed as

she put on the blankest of model ex-

pressions and strutted the runway in

platform boots, a huge black coat with

green-tinged fur sleeves, and a big

bow at the neck in pastel green, with

matching purse.

With heavy black makeup on her

eyes and lips, and platinum blonde hair

in finger waves, Gaga blended in ex-

ceedingly well. There was no applause

or audible sign of recognition from the

crowd in the cavernous Park Avenue

Armory.

As for the show itself, it had an aus-

tere, Victorian or Gothic feel — with

no music on the soundtrack, just the

sounds of bells pealing — and featured

mostly long, grand coats and gowns

in black or dark hues, with occasional

pops of colour. While some of the gar-

ments seemed perfect for, say, a stroll

in a 19th-century London park, others

had a more otherworldly feel, such as

a huge, feathery concoction worn by

model-of-the-moment Kendall Jenner.

And the shiny, laced-up, very high

platform boots added a comic-book

feel to the proceedings.

Jacobs, who rarely does much ex-

plaining of his shows, did include a

note in his programme referring to Kei-

ji Haino, a Japanese musician who uses

a concept of “ma,” described as “the

haunted spaces between the notes” —

which may have explained the sound-

track.

Among the front-row guests was

Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who wore

a Jacobs-designed Hillary Clinton

2016 T-shirt. (The designer himself al-

so wore one of the sequined tees.)

Also there: actresses Juliette Lewis,

Christina Ricci, Sandra Bernhard and

Debi Mazar, among others.

“Is that her? The blonde?” Bernhard

asked about Lady Gaga after the show.

“OK, I honestly didn’t know it. She is

unrecognizable! She’s a chameleon.

But yeah, she looked great now that I

know for sure it was her.”

Bernhard’s verdict on the clothes:

“Really great. It was romantic and out

there and it was just inspiring.”

Ralph Lauren turns to rockParading impeccable models down

the runway in taupe cashmere and

men’s ties may not sound all that new,

but that’s where Ralph Lauren went

for fall, until he took a turn to rock ‘n’

roll.

There were “cool rocker” coats and

jackets of blue and black in equal parts

pirate and Sergeant Pepper. Large ruf-

fles were abundant along the fronts

of white blouses — and slightly small-

er ones for a curious winged effect on

a backless black jumpsuit.

There was requisite fringe in black,

and rocker pants as well.

Ralph Lauren using the term “cool

rocker” is just plain cute. So was a

brown tweed patchwork coat that had

large, highly useful pockets sewn on. It

was worn with a wide leather belt over

a cashmere dress and mocha suede

boots.

Other standouts: velvet embroidery

on a black suede dress, some of that

rocker fringe on a black suede motor-

cycle jacket and an unusual liquid gold

fabric for a long, free-flowing pleat-

ed skirt paired with a black belt and

cropped black top to expose a sliver of

midriff. The same gold fabric was used

for a couple of fitted evening dresses.

Forget rock. Disco anyone?

HEALTH & FITNESS

By Michelle Andrews The Washington Post

Quality over quantity. As peo-

ple get older, their health-care

goals may shift away from

living as long as possible to

maintaining a good quality of life. In key

areas, however, the treatment that old-

er people receive often doesn’t reflect

this change, according to a new study.

The wide-ranging report from the

Dartmouth Atlas Project uses Medicare

claims data to examine aging Ameri-

cans’ health care. Among other things,

it identified five areas where too many

older people receive treatments that

don’t meet established guidelines or, of-

ten, their own goals and preferences.

Two of the five involve preven-

tive steps that may not benefit sen-

iors: screenings for breast cancer and

prostate cancer. The other three ad-

dress care at the end of life: late referral

to hospice care, time in intensive care

units and the placement of feeding

tubes in people with dementia.

These shortcomings highlight the

need for better communication and

shared decision-making among pa-

tients, their families and their medical

providers.

People judge the harms and bene-

fits of treatments differently, and “that’s

where the shared decision-making

comes in,” said one of the report’s au-

thors, Julie Bynum, an associate pro-

fessor at the Dartmouth Institute for

Health Policy and Clinical Practice in

Lebanon, New Hampshire.

Mammograms to detect breast can-

cer and blood tests to check for pros-

tate cancer are simple procedures. But

these screenings can set off a cascade

of further testing and treatment when

the results are worrisome. Those follow-

up efforts can harm older patients, who

may be fragile or have multiple medical

conditions.

In addition, older people may well

die from something else before a re-

cently revealed cancer progresses, said

Richard Wender, chief cancer control of-

ficer at the American Cancer Society.

“The single hardest concept for

the public to understand is the natu-

ral history of finding a cancer through

a screening process,” Wender said.

“Many people have the sense that had

it not been found, that cancer would

have threatened their life within a cou-

ple of years or maybe even a couple of

months.”

Experts have cautioned older pa-

tients about both mammograms and

prostate tests. The US Preventive Serv-

ices Task Force, an independent panel

of physicians, has concluded that PSA

blood tests aren’t beneficial at any age

and that there’s not enough evidence

to know whether the benefit of breast

cancer screening after a woman reach-

es age 75 outweighs the risks.

Still, the Dartmouth Atlas analysis

found that 20 percent of male Medi-

care beneficiaries age 75 and older got

a PSA test to screen for prostate cancer

in 2012, and 24 percent of female ben-

eficiaries that age had a mammogram

to screen for breast cancer.

Guidelines aside, clinicians and their

patients need to discuss the pros and

cons of testing and make a decision

based on the patient’s values and pref-

erences, experts say.

For example, a 75-year-old woman

who is willing to accept that she might

die of breast cancer within 10 years but

wants to avoid the anxiety and harms of

treatment might choose not to be test-

ed.

“I ask people, ‘Do you think you’re

going to be around in 10 years? Help

me decide whether to order a mammo-

gram,’” said Bynum, whose work focus-

es on geriatrics.

As people near the end of their

lives, it’s especially important for pa-

tients and their family members to dis-

cuss their goals and wishes with clini-

cians. Patients often want to be kept

comfortable rather than undergo med-

ical interventions, but physicians and

nurses are still trained to do everything

possible to prevent death, said Diane

Meier, the Director of the Centre to Ad-

vance Palliative Care and a professor of

geriatrics at the Icahn School of Medi-

cine at Mount Sinai in New York.

The three end-of-life criteria cited

by the Dartmouth researchers are are-

as that geriatrics experts agree are crit-

ical, Bynum said, but it has proved dif-

ficult to get providers, health systems

and the general public to address them.

Late referral to hospital and spend-

ing time in a hospital intensive care unit,

the report found, can adversely affect

terminal patients’ health, result in high-

er costs and run counter to their hope

for a peaceful death. For people with

advanced dementia, the insertion of

feeding tubes can lead to complica-

tions.

Some care for older people is not age-appropriate

brutal, even fatal places, she became

convinced that there are endless possi-

bilities for her role on Daredevil, which

offers up its second season.

“I definitely read (the comics), be-

cause at least in the beginning, I didn’t

know how closely we’d be sticking

to the comic-book stories,” Woll told

The Washington Post. “It’s almost like

she’s been different people at different

points.

“In a way, it kind of freed us up, be-

cause there was nothing we were tied

to,” Woll continued. “Karen could be

anything because she has been eve-

rything. It was good to read it and

know that we had opportunity and

we had space.”

And so from page to screen, craft-

ing their Karen Page became a team

effort.

“I’m very happy so far with what

the writers have come up with,” the

Brooklyn-born actress said. “This

Karen can really be mine, it can be

ours, it can be (producers) Doug

(Petrie) and Marco’s (Ramirez). It can

be our own story.”

Season 2 finds Karen becoming

more comfortable as a legal assist-

ant to Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Char-

lie Cox) and Foggy Nelson (Elden Hen-

son). Their small office has fostered

warm bonds — even a romantic one

between Page and Cox’s lawyer/su-

perhero. But Karen is haunted by the

murder she committed last season.

She had to take down a baddie to es-

cape a no-win situation, and she’s yet

to share the horrid experience with

her two colleagues/friends, despite

how close they’ve become.

Woll said that Karen’s secret is

slowly taking its toll on the character.

“It is eating away at her. I think with

the arrival of Frank Castle (the Punish-

er), who is essentially on a more con-

scious, intentional level doing what

Karen did,” Woll said. “She gets her

identity caught up in (vigilante) Frank

Castle and what he represents, and

that may be dangerous.

“Foggy and Matt mean more to her

to anyone in the world, and I don’t

know how you reveal the deepest,

darkest, most shameful part of your-

self to someone that you care that

much about,” she continued. “You

should, so that there is nothing be-

tween you two, but you risk them

leaving you forever. We see Karen and

Matt get closer, but there’s always go-

ing to be this distance because she’s

not being fully honest with him, and

he’s not being fully honest with her.”

Honesty and deceit play out sig-

nificantly in Daredevil’s new season.

Matt has yet to reveal to Karen that

he is Daredevil — probably fearing

that such knowledge would endanger

her. He also fails to mention when his

martial-artist ex-girlfriend Elektra re-

turns to Hell’s Kitchen.

Karen’s secret even begins tug-

ging at her subconscious when she

tries to defend the Punisher’s execu-

tion-style methods to Matt.

Matt, despite being a masked vig-

ilante, has one rule: no killing. So

Karen’s strong opinions begin to af-

fect a quickly blooming romance. Af-

ter all, who suspected that if anyone

was going to have the most in com-

mon with the Punisher, it would be

Karen.

“I think the writers hit on some-

thing really interesting. In order for

Matt to feel good about what he

does, he has to believe that Frank

Castle is a vicious, murdering psy-

chopath — he has to believe that in

order to feel good about his deci-

sions” as Daredevil, said the 31-year-

old USC theater grad.

Perhaps Matt can’t see a gray area

with Frank. “But Karen can,” Woll said.

“Because if Frank Castle is a mon-

ster, then maybe that means Karen

is a monster. So she has to fight for

him. So she has to say: ‘I may not like

what you do, I may not agree with it,

or maybe I do, but I understand it. I

understand that just because you do

something that I find distasteful, or

despicable or even terrorism, you are

a human being with motives. You are

not just a monster.’ “

Woll said that Matt and Karen’s de-

bate over the Punisher is one of her

favourite scenes in Daredevil’s second

season, in part because she sees it as

the first time that Karen realizes she’s

siding with the Punisher.

“It suddenly just pops out of her

mouth that she might think that (the

Punisher’s) way works,” Woll said.

“That his way is right, and then realize

after the fact that that might be an

awful thing to think. And then look at

the person across from her who she

loves, and who she wants to love her

back and respect her more than an-

ything, and see his disappointment.

See that she has fallen in his esteem,

and how heartbreaking that would

be.”

Meanwhile, Woll hopes that it

comes across on screen how much

the actors care about their roles.

Woll is also grateful for her role.

She said that the format allows for a

focus on each character.

“I sort of had my own story line last

year and my own branch this year,”

Woll said. “That’s a real novelty, and I

don’t think that the female character

would get that in a superhero mov-

ie. That would be very hard. It would

take away a lot of the time from your

leading superhero.

“I like that in this (Netflx) scenario,

that we have the time to give each of

these characters their due.”

Daredevil actress grows into her Netflix character


ENTERTAINMENT

By Ankit Sinha IANS

Singer-actor Monica Dogra, who is

one half of the popular Mumbai-

based electronic duo Shaa’ir and

Func and has released her solo

debut album Spit, says she doesn’t like

to “highlight problems” through her art,

but likes to “ask questions”.

“I don’t like to highlight problems

through my art. I like to ask questions

with my art. I like to attempt to answer

them with awareness that my knowing

is miniscule in the landscape of knowl-

edge yet to be attained,” Monica said in

an interview.

”However, I think art across the board

has an important role to play in activism,

and has always served as a vehicle for

social change,” she added.

”Spit”, which took three years to com-

plete, is “completely different” from her

earlier work with Shaa’ir and Func be-

cause it is “solo articulation”.

”Shaa’ir and Func is the combination

of Randolph and my creative minds. ‘Spit’

is just me... It’s still rooted in experimen-

tation across genres, but the focus is on

the storytelling and the lyrics through

songs,” she said.

”Song for song, the genres vary. That’s

how I am though... pragmatic”.

Regarding the diversity of the album,

Monica said “Spit” is an exploration of dif-

ferent musical styles.

Spit is a snapshot of my life as well

as an exploration of musical styles that

don’t usually coexist. Some songs are

pop, some are heavy bass tunes, some

are drum and bass, some are folk, some

are big band/jazz tunes. The record is

pragmatic but when you stitch it all to-

gether, it makes sense,” Monica said.

As a leading face of the indie mu-

sic scene in India, Monica noted that the

movement has been “witnessing a boom

in the last six to seven years”.

“Actually, it is just that it is snowballing

exponentially,” she said, adding: “I guess

the reason behind this boom is because

brands are beginning to invest in this as-

pect of art and culture because they see

that people are consuming it.

“I’m no expert though. My expectation

for the Indian music scene is just that we

all continue to really support one anoth-

er and that we all refuse to become com-

placent.”

Besides music, Monica, a student of

musical theatre at the New York Univer-

sity, has also made her foray into Indi-

an showbiz with films like Dhobi Ghat,

where she acted alongside superstar

Aamir Khan, and David. She says it’s

been a “wonderful journey” for her.

“I studied musical theatre at NYU - ex-

ploring dance, music, and acting have al-

ways been a part of my artistic equation.

I do feel that I lucked out.

“My first film was with one of the

most sensitive directors in our indus-

try, Kiran Rao, who I admire and respect

very much,” she said, while adding that it

“helped” that she acted opposite Aamir,

“who is also another shining representa-

tion of a true artiste who takes his role as

an activist very seriously”.

“I enjoy acting in films now from the

perspective of a songwriter, because

it allows me the opportunity to live so

much life in a short span of time. I can

then come back to my songwriting with

new stories, new things I just have to say.

#Saywhatyoulike. Get it?” she added.

Spit is available for download via

iTunes. A music video for the song Say

what you like also released on YouTube.

The nine-track album features collab-

orations with music producers like Robot

Koch (Germany), Prash Mistry (Britain)

of the Engine Earz Experiment, Gaurav

Jackie Chan will be shooting for his

upcoming Indo-Chinese film Kung

Fu Yoga in India, says Bollywood actor

Sonu Sood, who will be seen sharing

screen space with the legendary actor

for the first time.

“Jackie (Chan) will be coming to In-

dia and will be coming to India on the

21st (of March)...He will be staying for

15 days. Jackie will be staying in Jaipur,”

Sonu told reporters here on the red

carpet event for the Times Of India Film

Awards (TOIFA) 2016 on Friday.

The Dabangg star says he will join

the martial arts movie star, who will be

shooting a schedule in India and then

will be proceeding to Beijing.

“I am going to join him next week in

India and then we are going to Beijing...

October release. Fingers crossed.” said

an elated Sonu, who looked dapper in

suit by Delhi based designers Bharat

and Reshma.

Sonu, who was last seen on the sil-

ver screen in the 2015 film Gabbar Is

Back, says the Rush Hour actor is one

of the “most humble and hardworking

actor”.

“He is one of the most humble ac-

tors I have ever come across. He is very

hardworking...” Sonu said.

Kung Fu Yoga is a part of the three-

film agreement signed between the

two countries during Chinese President

Xi Jinping’s visit to India.

The film also stars actress Amyra

Dastur. It is reported that the Hindi film

stars have performed some adrena-

lin-pumping action sequences for the

movie.

Directed by Stanley Tong, the action

comedy film is also shot here and Ice-

land, where Jackie got Amyra a fare-

well cake, as a warm goodbye gesture

from him.

TECHNOLOGY


By Rachel Feltman The Washington Post

Recently, scientists reported a

huge step in the hunt for mys-

terious cosmic phenomena

known as Fast Radio Bursts

(FRBs). But now their results are being

called into question by others in the

field. Amid that controversy, a new pa-

per has just hit the presses: For the first

time ever, they’ve found an FRB that

keeps repeating. Published Wednes-

day in Nature, the study provides evi-

dence that FRBs come from a source

other than the massive star collision

suggested by last week’s researchers.

FRBs are bright radio flashes that

last just a few milliseconds, and until

now have never been known to repeat.

Scientists believe they might occur

thousands of times a day, but to date

less than 20 events have been detect-

ed. Last week’s study — also published

in Nature — claimed to have pinpoint-

ed the exact origin point of an FRB for

the first time ever.

Now some scientists are question-

ing whether the signal used to track

down the galaxy associated with the

FRB was actually related to the radio

burst at all. And this new study adds

another possible point of contention:

Based on the apparent age of the gal-

axy pinpointed in the first study and

the strength of the radio burst, re-

searchers had suggested a collision of

massive stars as the cause of the mys-

terious signal.

But massive collisions don’t repeat

— and now it seems apparent that FRBs

can and do.

“I don’t think the final nail is in the

coffin on that,” Jason Hessels, corre-

sponding author of the latest study,

told The Post in reference to the oth-

er team’s research.”There are more ob-

servations that need to be done, but it

seems less convincing than it did last

week.” It is possible, he and other ex-

perts said, that there is more than one

kind of FRB out there — some sent out

by massive crashes in space, and oth-

ers coming from different, more sus-

tainable sources.

Harvard University’s Edo Berger,

who is a co-author on an as-yet-un-

published paper that sets out to refute

the supposed FRB origin, was more

blunt: “Essentially I would say that the

whole rationale behind the paper has

gone away within about two or three

days of when it was published,” he told

The Post, explaining that he believes

the signal described in that paper has

lasted too long to be associated with

an FRB, and is likely some other space

phenomenon they stumbled upon by

accident.

Evan Keane, an astronomer with

the Square Kilometer Array Organisa-

tion who led the first study, said that

he won’t comment on the particulars

of Berger’s takedown until it’s reviewed

by other scientists and published in a

journal. But Keane and Berger agree

on one thing: The latest paper is the

real deal.

“My initial thoughts on the paper are

that it is quite exciting, and as it is re-

peating it is clearly not due to a ‘one off’

event, like (say) a supernova, or merg-

er of two objects; they would only hap-

pen once,” Keane said in an email. He

wasn’t surprised or concerned about

implications for his own findings, since

scientists have floated the idea of mul-

tiple FRB origins before, “but it is clear-

ly excellent to see the repetition, and

so clearly,” he said.

The findings stem from a discovery

made in November, when McGill Uni-

versity PhD student Paul Scholz was

working with FRB data from the Are-

cibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico,

which is the largest of its kind. Af-

ter months of gathering and analyz-

ing more data from the same spot in

the sky, Scholz, Hessels and their col-

leagues showed several bursts with

properties consistent with those of an

FRB first detected in 2012.

“This one I think is a really great re-

sult,” Berger said. “It’s a great clue for

what might be causing this. It’s not a

one off thing, it’s a stable system that

can be active again and again and

again.”

What might that stable system be?

The scientists suggest a super-power-

ful neutron star. These stellar zombies

are the remnants of huge stars gone

supernova. They’re just on the cusp of

becoming black holes, with just bare-

ly enough pressure in their cores to

keep them from collapsing into oblivi-

on. That makes them the densest stars

in the universe, and scientists have a

lot to learn about their behaviour.

Such an origin would bring the FRB

mystery full circle, Hessels explained:

Scientists first found FRBs just over a

decade ago when searching for puls-

ing neutron stars (or pulsars) inside the

Milky Way.

“They came across this signal that

didn’t quite fit with what we knew,”

Hessels said. The distance implied by

the properties of these signals placed

them outside the realm of neutron

stars inside the galaxy.

“So these new findings could sug-

gest some kind of very extreme pul-

sating neutron star, spinning very fast,

with a strong magnetic field... beyond

what you’d find with one in our own

galaxy. It would have to be a very rare

type of source,” Hessels said.

As with last week’s paper, more

work is needed to confirm these find-

ings - and it will take even more de-

tections to determine whether FRBs

have one source or many. Pinpoint-

ing the exact location of the sources

of multiple FRBs is vital in puzzling out

their true origins. Three highly sensi-

tive FRB-detecting instruments are

set to open this year, so it’s possible

that FRBs won’t be mysterious for too

much longer.

“That could be a month from now or

it could be five years from now,” Berg-

er said.

A surprise twist to hunt for Fast Radio Bursts

After months of

gathering and analysing

more data from the

same spot in the sky,

Scholz, Hessels and

their colleagues showed

several bursts with

properties consistent

with those of an FRB first

detected in 2012.
