Sachin Tendulkar on his silence on match-fixing: It was a shock to me. I was surprised. I was not aware of anything. The only reason I did not speak about it is that I didn’t know anything about it. So how can I say who is telling the truth and who is not? From my point of view, the concerned people, people who have taken the responsibility, are looking into the issue. I leave it to them. http://bit.ly/1TzztnZ
Chander Suta Dogra on shrinking Himalayan glaciers: Global warming is shrinking glaciers the world over. In the Himalayas, the rate of melting is the fastest. With 33,000 sq km of glaciers, it is aptly called the water tower of Asia. But recent research shows that 67 per cent of the Himalayan glaciers are retreating at a startling rate. More chilling: the scientific community has no answers on how to cope with this coming apocalypse. http://bit.ly/1M7KwUh
Behroz Khan on preserving Bollywood in Peshawar: Whenever Pakistani actress Feryal Ali Gauhar gazes upon the old city of Peshawar, she’s transported to a time she has heard of only in folklore. The walls of the old city narrate to her the stories of those who lived and died here. It is to save this past that Feryal, a member of the National Conservatory Board, and her friends have launched a campaign to conserve the ancestral homes of Bollywood’s legendary and famous actors—Prithviraj and Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Shahrukh Khan, Anil Kapoor. http://bit.ly/1M7KBY2
