Adnan Sami discusses art, music with locals artists in Srinagar

Posted: 07 Oct 2017 01:37 AM PDT

The Pakistan-origin Bollywood singer Adnan Sami, who is scheduled to perform a musical gala on the banks of the Dal Lake in Srinagar on Saturday evening, interacted with local artists here where he shared instances from his music journey and life experiences with them.

During the interaction, Sami reflected upon the art and music and their scope in traversing through space and time. “Language of art is a form of communication that transcends all differences created by humans, and reaches above hate to spread a message of peace and harmony,” he said.

Sami is expected to sing his famous numbers like ‘Lift kara de’ and ‘Kabhi toh nazar milao’ at the special concert being organised jointly by the Union Home Ministry and the Jammu and Kashmir government. The concert is aimed at promoting tourism and Kashmiri culture amid heightened terror-related violence in the valley. Doordarshan will cover the concert live for its viewers across the country.

Speaking about his experiences of visiting violence-hit Kashmir, Sami, a former Pakistani musician, who voluntarily gave up the country’s citizenship to become Indian, said, “This region hosts a rich culture which has art woven in its roots. The mysticism and Sufism found in Kashmir will continue to inspire me and influence my music so that I can produce rich melodies.”

The local artists spoke with Sami about his music, “melodies, present scenario of music in the country, the visible shift from melodies to the westernized genre and about his upcoming concert in the valley.”

Meanwhile, Police have put in place tight security measures for the musical concert. Inspector General of police Kashmir, Muneer Khan said that all security arrangements were in place for the concert.

The government has also appointed 100 liaison officers in connection with musical concert. Nearly 3000 people, including senior government functionaries, are expected to attend the concert.

In May 2008, Junoon, Pakistans biggest rock band group performed at the same venue.

However, at that time it was opposed by Pakistan based Hizbul Mujahideen supremo Syed Salahuddin. In September 2013, Zubin Mehta concert or the literary festival in 2011 faced a severe civil society backlash. However, no political or social group has taken any exception to Sami’s concert so far.

Piyush Goyal says job loss good for economy, here’s a reality check

Posted: 07 Oct 2017 12:27 AM PDT

At the World Economic Forum's India Economic Summit a few days ago, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal made an unusual comment. He said job losses is a very good sign for the economy. When all of the country is anxious about job losses in the private sector it was odd for a minister to be happy about it. Piyush was responding to Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal who had mentioned India's top 200 companies considerably cutting jobs over the past few years. "If these top 200 companies are not going to generate jobs, it's going to get harder and harder for the whole business community to pull society along with it," Mittal said. Of course, Goyal was not taking pleasure in the pain of the unemployed youth. Why he saw job losses as a good sign was because he saw the youth getting self-employed. “What Sunil just spoke about companies bringing down their employment is a very good sign, in fact. The fact is that today, the youth of tomorrow is not looking to be a job seeker alone. He wants to be a job creator. The country today is seeing more and more young people wanting to be entrepreneurs," he said. Perhaps, Goyal was referring to the MUDRA scheme, which was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015 to provide loans to small entrepreneurs. So far, Rs 3.42 lakh crore loan has been disbursed to over 8 crore people under the scheme, mostly small entrepreneurs, a report by SKOCH said. But is it right to assume that those who lose jobs get loans and start small businesses? Last year, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) laid off about 14,000 employees. In the first quarter of this calendar year, HDFC Bank's headcount went came down from 90,421 to 84,325. In the preceding quarter last year, the headcount was down by 4,581. 67 textile units shut down in teh last few years, hitting 17,600 employees. Can we assume that these employees turned entrepreneurs? Goyal explained why self-employment is rising. "With the advent of 3D manufacturing, artificial intelligence, with innovation playing a central role, more and more people are getting engaged on their own, and are looking to become franchisees, people who come up with ideas and want to be independent," he said. It’s hard to imagine that those laid off by L&T or Infosys would become franchisees. Talking of 3D manufacturing and artificial intelligence in India, where certain areas even go without smartphones, is premature. And if you consider the fact that startup sector saw a meltdown last year and this year the deal volume is down even though the funding has grown, you would realise Goyal’s statement is futuristic and did not service to the hordes of unemployed and laid off youth.

Biological Clocks – Nobel Prize For Medicine

Posted: 07 Oct 2017 12:16 AM PDT

Why in news?
  • Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash & Michael W. Young are to be jointly awarded the 2017 "Nobel Prize for Medicine".
  • The award is for their work in discovering the mechanisms controlling the internal clocks in living organisms.

What is their research about?
  • The trio's work was in 'Chrono Biology' – A science that examines periodic phenomena in living organisms in relation to nature.
  • They made significant contributions in unravelling the genetic coding and protein pathways that regulate the circadian rhythm.
  • This rhythm is what tells us when it is time to eat, sleep or wake up –  even when we have no bedside alarm.
What were the acheievements of the trio?
  • Isolation of a gene called 'Period' in fruit-flies that disrupted its circadian clock was the most important acheivement.
  • PER – A protein named 'PER' that serves as a functional communicator for the 'Period Gene' was discovered.
  • PER was found to accumulate at night & diminish during the day.
  • Timeless – A second gene called 'Timeless' that acts through its 'TIM protein' in conjunction with 'PER' was also identified.
  • This was found to cause the seesawing of cellular protein levels.
  • Doubletime – A third gene called 'Doubletime' was discovered  to be the regulator of the frequency of the oscillations.
What are the implications?
  • The current research has added significantly to the science that studies the linkages between sleep & metabolic activity.
  • The impact of smartphone & other gadgets in disrupting circadian rhythms is already being studied extensively.
  • There is more clarity now, in the link between peak physical performance in sport and the time of the day.
  • Circadian rhythm may well hold the key to future breakthroughs in the modulation and treatment of various diseases.
