Three Cheers for Ladu –the wonder kid from Dariba

Udaipur: How often do we see a father’s death turning

out to be a motivational factor for a young kid! Well, 14-year-

old LaduLalJatiya from NayaDariba has promised himself ever

since to live his father’s dream of becoming a footballer.

It took Ladu and his mother (TipuBai) several months to

begin the process of resetting their lives – they had lost not

only a loving husband/father, but also the sole bread-winner

of the family. TipuBai had no option left except to turn to their

farm fields to support Ladu and his three younger sisters.

When Ladu’s father was alive, he would often take Ladu

to their neighbour’s home to watch a football match. More

than the game, young Ladu was always amazed to see peo-

ple in that room, passionately and loudly cheering for their

teams. Once his father passed away, football became Ladu’s

way of remembering his father.

Ladu now wakes up every morning and rides the 6 km

from his home on his bicycle to reach the Zinc Football

Community Coaching Centre in Dariba, an initiative by

Hindustan Zinc. A regular in his training sessions, football is

the new constant in Ladu’s life. And Ladu’s coach is very cer-

tain that Ladu’s hard work and dedication will certainly one

day bring loud cheers for Ladu.

Veeru Devgn, diesin Mumbai

Actor Ajay Devgn’s father Veeru Devgn died in Mumbai

on Monday. He used to work as a stunt director in Bollywood

movies. According to a report in Mid-day, he was admitted in

Surya Hospital, Santacruz, Mumbai. His funeral will be held

at Vile Parle crematorium on Monday evening at 6pm.Veeru

had worked on 80 films such as LalBaadshah and Ishq. He

even directed Hindustan Ki Kasam in 1999, which starred

Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay and ManishaKoirala.

Vicky Kaushal’s father and stunt director Sham Kaushal

expressed grief at Devgn’s death. “RIP VeeruDevganji. Just

came to know about this sad news. As an Action Director

always ahead of his time and as human being par excellence.

I became a stuntman with his blessings on 8th August, 1980

as he signed my application to become a stuntman and made

me part of his team,” he wrote in a tweet.

Talking about his father a few years ago, Ajay had said he

was his true Singham. “The Singham in my life can only be

my father. Because he is a man who came to Bombay at that

point in time with `4 in his pocket.

For country I am PM, for you I am MP and ‘sevak’Varanasi, Chemistry had triumphed over poll arithmetic, Prime Minister NarendraModi said on Monday, profusely thanking Varanasi voters for electing him by a huge margin.“Political ana-

lysts will have to accept that beyond poll arithmetic there is chemistry,” he told party workers on his first visit to his constituency after his resounding victory which was by a higher margin this

time.“For the country I am the PM, but for you I am your MP, I am your sevak,” he said.

“Work and workers create wonders,” Modi said, giving full credit for his victory to the workers at the grassroots level for creating awareness about his government’s policies and programmes

for the people.Uttar Pradesh is showing the way for India, he said.

He also spoke of importance of “perfect synergy” between the government and the party.The Prime Minister said he was also grateful to his opponents who fought against him.At the same

time, he lamented that there was a sense of political untouchability, adding that BJP workers were being killed for their ideology in West Bengal, Tripura and Kerala.

His remarks assumed signifiance in the light of the murder of a BJP leader in Amethi in the first post-poll violence in Uttar Pradesh.

Modi, who also offered prayers at the KashiVishwanath temple here, visited the temple town four days after steering his party to a huge win.TheModi-led BJP won 303 out of the 542 seats

in the LokSabha.
