"I knew that if I agreed to write my story, I would have to be completely honest, as that's the way I have always played the game, and that would mean talking about a number of things I have not addressed in public before. So here I am, at the end of my final innings, having taken that last walk back to the pavilion, ready to recount as many incidents as I can remember since first picking up a cricket bat as a child in Mumbai thirty-five years ago." - Sachin Tendulkar

With the above words, Sachin Tendulkar, God of Indian cricket unveiled his autobiography “Playing It My Way: My Autobiography”. The renowned cricketer is touted as the greatest run-scorer in the history of cricket, hanged his boots in 2013 after a long career of 24 years. Sachin Tendulkar is the most loved and adored Indian cricketer and on the day of his retirement, he was awarded the greatest civilian honour – Bharat Ratna. In his autobiography, Sachin narrated his remarkable journey from his first test at the age of 16 to his 100th international century.

Sachin is the only Indian cricketer who was expected to hit century every time he entered the ground; and many times, he came true to the expectations of his fans. With his extraordinary performance, Sachin rose to the level of a phenomenon from a celebrity. Cricket critics would call him pillar of Indian cricket as he was able to clinch victory for India single-handedly.

His many achievements with India include winning the World Cup and topping the world Test rankings. However, he has also known for his fair share of frustration and failure - from injuries and early World Cup exits to sharp criticism from the press, especially during his miserable tenure as captain.

Despite his celebrity status, Sachin Tendulkar has always kept a low profile, devoted to his family and his country. Now, for the first time, he gives a fascinating insight into his personal life and gives a candid and revealing account of a sporting life like no other. The book is in Sachin's own words as told to his co-writer Boria Majumdar who worked closely with Sachin.

The book was officially unveiled by Sachin Tendulkar in Mumbai in the presence of his fellow cricketers Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Sourav Ganguli and others. Among other cricket fraternity were Harsha Bhogle, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri and Ramakant Achrekar, his mentor and coach.

Virtual Voyage Managing Director Abhay Jain felicitated by Grey Parrot Publishers

Indore, September 15, 2014: Today, Mr. Abhay Jain, the Managing Director of Virtual Voyage, one of the leading and quality Institute of Multimedia and Animation Education in Indore, is felicitated at an event ‘IIM Print Premier’ organized by Grey Parrot Publishers in Lucknow. The event was organized at the release ceremony of book ‘Small Big Bang- 30 stories of die hard entrepreneur’ being published by Grey Parrot Publishers.

‘Small Big Bang- 30 stories of die hard entrepreneur’ collects stories of 30 successful personalities of India giving an insight of those successful entrepreneurs, who left the challenges and obstacles behind in quest of the pinnacle of success.

It has been written by 26 IIM Students, who included Mr. Abhay Jain’s story after being inspired from his life. The final touch to the book has been given by Editor Shri Ratanmani Lal, a well known author.

Talking about Mr. Abhay Jain’s story in the book, Editor Mr. Ratanmani Lal said, “Mr. Abhay Jain is an inspiration to country’s youth. Today he is running many reputed organizations in addition to Virtual Voyage. Being hailed from a small village in Khargone District and after getting primary education in a village school, he did B. Tech. From Indore and then became the owner of four successful organization. This journey proves that if determined in mind, nothing is impossible.”

At the grand ceremony, Mr. Abhay jain interacted with hundreds of literature loving people as a speaker. After his address, one of the audiences asked him what inspired him to start job oriented courses on a large scale.

With a concerned heart, he put the actual picture of his life on the forefront and said that he had also been a victim of inclination towards traditional courses. Due to his interest and always getting distinction in Mathematics, his family admitted him in Maths subject during his high school and intermediate classes and a dream to become an engineer was decided to be his destiny.

During the counselling of pre-engineering course in Bhopal, when I chose Computer science branch as an alternative, as was the general trend of that time that every student wanted to be a computer engineer, I also did the same, but till that time my knowledge of computer was limited to Monitor, Keyboard and mouse only.

When I got the chance to enter computer lab for the first time in second semester after seven and half months from the beginning of my course, I realised that the computer had another very important part named CPU. Through this story Mr. Abhay Jain informed the audience that the decision of his career was automatically chosen by his family members influenced by some so-called less informed people and he was admitted in computer science.

However he didn't know what different parts a complete computer had. And had he been cared, he would have been given a chance to decide his career according to his wish and interest and perhaps he would have been doing well in politics and media.

And due to pressure of family and for their reputation he had to waste 4 years of engineering without having any interest in and had to clear it. This was the second great mistake of life. If he had been given right guidance, he would have left engineering in between and could choose a direction of his interest. But perhaps destiny had decided something else for fortune.

 And the youth like me could get right guidance and could capture the opportunities of employment and self employment in the changing scenario of world as per their bent of mind and inclination, and I could become a means/medium in doing so, this inspiration originated in me.


Giving the reference of Abhay Jain in the book, author Anshu Manoj Thakur says, “I thought Mr. Abhay Jain, who was working in the afternoon of Sunday, would be a hardcore entrepreneur, but after talking for some time with him, my conception changed as he was very polite and tender by heart and down to earth personality. Mr. Abhay Jain is a source of inspiration to students professionally and personally both.”


The turning point of Abhay’s life was a remark by one of his relatives from America that changed his mind to go to America for further studies and he decided to remain in India and strive to become a successful entrepreneur in spite of the fact that he got very good rank in GRE examination and was only a step away from the dream of millions of students in India and ultimately he decided to stay in his own country and offer students education at par with international standard.

Reminding the past Mr. Abhay Jain said, “There was a time, when we had marriage of my elder brother at home and our uncle from America was about to come with family to attend the ceremony. At that time we were not in a condition to make arrangements for my brother’s marriage. To keep the respect of my father, we decided to sell well running institute Bluechip, Ranjit Hanuman centre and used the money received hence for the decoration of our house and other necessary arrangements for marriage. In this duration, I was left unemployed, but during this time also, I taught English in an engineering college in Khargone. But my action ground couldn’t keep long without me and I was again called back. I started Blue chip again at Sapna Sangeeta, Indore and soon I started other successful educational institutes including Hardzone, in the field of Computers and Talk show for English speaking.

Later Virtual Voyage, Lingua Franca and Tru Commerce became the centre of excellence in their respective fields. I worked daily for 16 to 17 hours, and finally overcame challenges and went on and on towards success. I’ve gained as well as lost much in this journey. I still regret that in this race, I couldn’t give enough time to my family especially my father, who was losing health in the meantime. This is my biggest loss till now.”

It should be noted that Virtual Voyage at Malhar Mega Mall, Indore offers students various degree, diploma and post graduate diploma courses in streams like Media Films and Mass Communication; Design; Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and Comics (AVGC); Management; Hospitality, Aviation and Tourism; Information Technology and retail. These courses are well recognised in industry.

He further said, “We have devised many courses linked to the fashion world such as Fashion Designing, Fashion Merchandising, Fashion Marketing and Retail Management, Footwear Designing and more. We take great pains in appointing the best faculty for these courses so that students get the best education and training. All these courses have been designed to suit students who wish to acquire the fashion skills of a desired segment.”

Mr. Abhay Jain further says, “As a student I closely observed what challenges a student coming from a small town had to face and if your financial condition wasn’t strong, how the possibility of quality higher education became a dream. That’s why today at Virtual Voyage, we are offering world class education in Indore, so that students don’t have to go out for a good career. I’ll say to students if you want to become a successful entrepreneur, you’ll have to work 16 to 17 hours daily. If you want to celebrate Holi, Diwali or Sunday with your family; go for a job.”

On the occasion, Mr. Raj Bisaria, Actor, Producer and Creative Director; Mr. Aakar Patel, Internationally acclaimed writer and many reputed personalities were present.

These winners of the ‘Smart Kalakaar ki Khoj’ initiative by Mediker are young students from the rural areas of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The ceremony witnessed an exciting unveiling of personalized stamps gifted by Mediker with pictures of each of the winners printed individually on every stamp. This one of a kind memorabilia was then presented to the winners as a token of Mediker’s appreciation and commitment towards the young girls.

Over the last two years, Mediker Anti-Lice Treatment has provided a platform for young girls from rural India to showcase their talent and wit by becoming a Radio Jockey on All India Radio (AIR).

It is a very encouraging initiative of Mediker to felicitate the Radio Rockstars by gifting them the personalised stamps. I believe that such platforms will not only help the child to build their confidence, but will also help them in their academic growth. I wish these young girls a successful life ahead.”



Another Chief Guest, Shri Kamlesh Singh, Principal of Government Boys School, Amlatola Gardanibagh Chitkohra, Patna added, “Mediker Smart Kalakaar Ki Khoj has reached out to more than a lakh kids in the past two years. Today is a very special day for the winners who are present at the school for being felicitated by Mediker. The young girls are so excited that I can see the sense of achievement in them. This has been a great platform for young kids to showcase their talent and potential and grow in the country where there is so much of scope and competition.”



On this occasion Risha Kumari, winner of Mediker Smart Kalakaar Ki Khoj contest from Gandak Shishu Uccha Vidyalaya, Muzzafarpur, says “I feel very happy and proud to be the winner of Radio Rockstar.

I am so glad Urmi’s turning more assertive now:Neha Marda

Actress Neha Marda speaks about how her character in Doli Armaanon Ki is all set to stand up for herself and set an example for women trapped in troubled marriages across India

In an exciting new twist on Zee TV’s popular primetime drama ‘Doli Armaanon Ki’, the lead protagonist Urmi (played by Neha Marda) will soon find out that her neighbor Chhavi’s husband is cheating on her with another woman. While a women’s group attacks the other woman in question, Urmi raises some extremely pertinent questions – As women, instead of attacking the ‘other’ woman, does it not occur to you to question Chhavi’s husband on why HE chose not to respect the vows of his marriage? Why always only blame the other woman? Is a man less accountable for his actions? Is it not Chhavi’s husband’s responsibility to preserve the sanctity of his marriage and stay faithful to his wife?

Without a doubt, Urmi’s rational, progressive take on the issue is bound to create a stir with her male chauvinistic, sexist husband Samrat (Played by Mohit Mallik). He will slam her down for having unduly interfered in a matter that was not her business to begin with. He will firmly oppose her views resulting in a showdown that will see Urmi pack her bags and walk out of her sasuraal.

Speaking of the transition in her character Urmi’s graph, Neha said, “I am extremely glad Urmi is now beginning to assert herself as a woman in the upcoming track of the show. So far, as a new bride, her journey with Samrat post-marriage has been one of disillusionment, disappointment and letdowns, wherein she has had to constantly adjust and come to terms with several aspects of Samrat’s personality that jar with her sensibilities. Many of her hopes and dreams of finding a loving, sensitive and supportive life partner have been crushed with Samrat’s outdated, sexist and typically chauvinistic views on the man-woman relationship. In the coming days, viewers will be happy to see her refusing to bow down to his whims and fancies. She isn’t about to be pushed around. She has a mind of her own and will assert her own views, even if this means ticking her husband off.”

She adds, “There are millions of women across our country who enter marriage with hopes and dreams about an ideal life partner, only to realize that the reality they are dealt with, is a far cry from all they had hoped and prayed for. But with the pressure on them to make their marriages work, they begin to over-compromise on practically every front. While a healthy amount of compromise and adjustments are a part and parcel of any partnership, being made to compromise on one’s basic rights as a woman, is a sign of being trapped in a troubled marriage. I am extremely glad that the subject of Doli Armaanon Ki delves into the issue of – how much and on what fronts should a woman be open to compromise in a marriage and what subjects should constitute a deal-breaker where she stands up and says – Sorry! I refuse to put up with this! If the show awakens even a fraction of the women trapped in troubled marriages in our country and helps them find their voice, I will feel all our efforts have been worth it!”

Stay tuned to ‘Doli Armaanon Ki’ every Monday-Friday at 10:30 PM, only on Zee TV.

Htc Aims To Create a Supercomputer With “Htc Power To Give”

Mobile-based volunteer computing project to empower smartphone owners to help answer some of the world’s biggest questions

New Delhi, India – 25February 2014 - HTC, a global leader in mobile innovation and design, today unveiled HTC Power To Give™, an initiative that aims to create the a supercomputer by harnessing the collective processing power of Android smartphones.


Currently in beta, HTC Power To Give aims to galvanize smartphone owners to unlock their unused processing power in order to help answer some of society’s biggest questions. Currently, the fight against cancer, AIDS and Alzheimer’s; the drive to ensure every child has clean water to drink and even the search for extra-terrestrial life are all being tackled by volunteer computing platforms.


Empowering people to use their Android smartphones to offer tangible support for vital fields of research, including medicine, science and ecology, HTC Power To Give has been developed in partnership with Dr. David Anderson of the University of California, Berkeley. The project will support the world’s largest volunteer computing initiative and tap into the powerful processing capabilities of a global network of smartphones.



Strength in numbers

One million HTC One smartphones, working towards a project via HTC Power To Give, could provide similar processing power to that of one of the world’s 30 supercomputers (one PetaFLOP). This could drastically shorten the research cycles for organizations that would otherwise have to spend years analyzing the same volume of data, potentially bringing forward important discoveries in vital subjects by weeks, months, years or even decades. For example, one of the programs available at launch is IBM's World Community Grid, which gives anyone an opportunity to advance science by donating their computer, smartphone or tablet's unused computing power to humanitarian research. To date, the World Community Grid volunteers have contributed almost 900,000 years' worth of processing time to cutting-edge research.

Limitless future potential

Cher Wang, Chairwoman, HTC commented, “We’ve often used innovation to bring about change in the mobile industry, but this programme takes our vision one step further. With HTC Power To Give, we want to make it possible for anyone to dedicate their unused smartphone processing power to contribute to projects that have the potential to change the world.”


“HTC Power To Give will support the world’s largest volunteer computing initiative, and the impact that this project will have on the world over the years to come is huge. This changes everything,” noted Dr. David Anderson, Inventor of the Shared Computing Initiative BOINC, University of California, Berkeley.


Cher Wang added, “We’ve been discussing the impact that just one million HTC Power To Give-enabled smartphones could make, however analysts estimate that over 780 million Android phones were shipped in 2013[i] alone. Imagine the difference we could make to our children’s future if just a fraction of these Android users were able to divert some of their unused processing power to help find answers to the questions that concern us all.”


Opt-in with ease

After downloading the HTC Power To Give app from the Google Play™ store, smartphone owners can select the research programme to which they will divert a proportion of their phone’s processing power. HTC Power To Give will then run while the phone is charging[ii] and connected to a WiFi network, enabling people to change the world whilst sitting at their desk or relaxing at home.

The beta version of HTC Power To Give will be available to download from the Google Play store and will initially be compatible with the HTC One family, HTC Butterfly and HTC Butterfly S. HTC plans to make the app more widely available to other Android smartphone owners in the coming six months as the beta trial progresses.

HTC Power To Give was created in partnership with Dr. David Anderson, Inventor of the Shared Computing Initiative BOINC, University of California, Berkeley, and Fearlessly Frank, Global Brand Consultancy.

On popular demand, Madhuri even crooned “Rang di saari Gulaabi Chunariya re” a soulful number from the film giving a glimpse of the striking music, from the equally striking film.

Madhuri Dixit-Nene commented “A daughter keeps the balance intact in a family. There should be a sense of equality between a man and woman present in the society. My character Rajjo in the film is fighting for the same cause. The character maybe different from Madhuri as a person. But Madhuri agrees and stands with Rajjo. The story of Gulaab Gang is a piece of my heart. It make’s me very happy and proud to see the support people have given the film and its message”
