Resentment against late fee
Mohali, July 13 They alleged that the education board had advanced the last date for submission of forms from July 13 to July 7 and people were not aware of the change in the schedule. Now they were being asked to submit the forms with late fee of Rs 500. Mr Charanjeet Singh, a resident of Chandigarh, complained that when he came to deposit the form for the supplementary examination today he was asked to pay a late fee even when he was not aware of the change in the schedule. He alleged that he wanted to meet the Controller of Examinations in this regard but was not allowed to do so. However, Mrs Sukhwinder Kaur Saroya, Controller of Examinations, said that July 13 was only a tentative date and it was mentioned in the prospectus that the compartment schedule would be issued later. She said that the Chairman of the board could bring about a change in the schedule. The last date for the submission of forms was advanced after it was decided to hold the examinations early. As such public notices about the new schedule were published in newspapers for the awareness of those concerned. She said that people never bothered to read newspapers but kept blaming the board unnecessarily.

John Abraham feels Indian cinema
Chandigarh, July 13 "I do not try very hard to dress up and come in front of you," he said in response to a question about his funky yet casual hairstyle. "The important thing is to connect with my audience. They must feel they can be like me and I like them." Today he sports a lean look for that is what is 'in', he says. "I eat right, am predominantly vegetarian and try not to get to muscular," he laughs, pointing to a muscular bouncer standing next to him. Having just returned from watching the FIFA World Cup finals in Berlin between France and Italy rooting for his favourite Zidane, on the verge of buying two more bikes, to add to his existing collection of mean machines, three great films-Yashraj films 'Kabul Exrepss', 'Babul' with Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini and 'Salaam-E-Ishq' with Salman Khan-lined for release and add to this his "dream date Bipasha Basu" and John is at a personal best in his life and career. He is particularly excited about 'Kabul Express' where he plays the role of a journalist in Kabul who goes to interview the Taliban, "The whole experience of shooting in Afghanistan was fantastic and I am hoping the film will make the rounds of film festivals for its content. We have the best mix of colour, skin, face and everything and there is no reason why Indian cinema will not go global and international in the next 10 years," he avers. He takes his role as public entertainer very seriously and is obviously thrilled by the response he gets from young children, especially in the light of his association with a children's television channel. "I have never done movies for young ones with my roles hovering between being a lover and a robber. I guess what children like is my attitude, perhaps I am the face of the docile rebel they enjoy," he laughs talking of how a research poll conducted by the channel threw up his name as a favourite amongst children time and again. With so much buzz around him, all this easy-going and charming actor wants is to act, be a part of interesting projects, see new locations and essay different kinds of roles-like a quasi-art film with filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, one with Karan Johar to be directed by Soham ('Kaal') and one with Anurag Kashyap. "Challenging the viewer" is his mantra but if immense popularity is anything to go by, he is deep into the annals of success, already. |
