Council for Scientific and Industrial Research to combat climate change — it has now denied issuing any such circular — but some Indians may remember a better solution to electric irons: the presswala. Those who have worn clothes pressed with those old charcoal irons will vouch they are more wrinkle-free than what electric irons can ever achieve. Climate change can be blamed for many woes of today, but the crux of the issue is our propensity to opt for new technology whenever available. Hence cars, trains and airplanes, fans, air-conditioners and refrigerators, stoves, ovens and bulbs, not to mention the generations of machines that have taken over tasks starting with but not limited to smithing and smelting. So, even presswalas are also no longer entrusted with the task of ridding our clothes of wrinkles. Yet, the neighbourhood presswala was an institution in the India that I grew up in, alongside the sabziwala, the dhobi, the doodhwala, even the chikwala and sil-batta notcher. Of these only the itinerant fruit and veg vendors still exist, that too only in areas that have not been taken over by condominium complexes and gated colonies. Appliances have replaced many 'walas': blenders, washing machines and irons have come to be regarded as more 'convenient'.

As a kid, I too grew up playing cricket.

Wales First Minister Vaughan Gething on Friday said he held a «candid meeting» with Tata Steel on the issue of expected job losses at the company's Port Talbot plant in South Welsh. The First Minister, who is on a visit to India as part of the trade mission, also expressed hope that the Indian steel major, which has a «positive reputation», would take the same approach for the workers at the Welsh plant. Last month, Tata Steel announced to proceed ahead with its plans to close down the two furnaces at the plant and replace them with electric furnaces as part of its plans to go green in steel manufacturing. The proposed move could affect some 2,500 jobs in the next 18 months. But trade unions have opposed the move, and some 1,500 workers have reportedly voted in favour of an industrial action.
