BJP government in UP for eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route. Violators will have to pay a Rs 2,000 fine for the first offence and Rs 5,000 if they defy this order for the second time, Ujjain Mayor Mukesh Tatwal said on Saturday. This order is aimed at ensuring safety and transparency and not intended to target Muslim shop-keepers, the mayor said. Ujjain, the hometown of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, is known for its sacred Mahakal temple, attracting devotees from around the globe, especially during the Savaan month, which starts on Monday. Tatwal said the Mayor-in-Council of Ujjain had approved a proposal for shopkeepers to display their names on September 26, 2002, followed by the Corporation House, and subsequently sent it to the state government for objections and formalities. «All formalities have been already completed. The implementation was delayed as the nameplates were initially required to be of the same size and colour. Now, we have relaxed these terms. Displaying the names and mobile numbers of shopkeepers will suffice,» he told PTI over the phone.

Truman Capote. Dharamvir Bharati comes close with his deft handling of narrative nooks and crannies, most evident in his 1952 short novel 'Suraj ka Satvan Ghoda'. But Capote is still better, because he was self-taught. Born dirt poor in the American South, he was raised by two maiden aunts in Alabama and had one close friend in childhood, Harper Lee, who too would grow up to be a prominent novelist. In Lee's 1960 classic, To Kill a Mockingbird, Capote appears as the character, Dill. In the late 50s and early 60s, when Capote was writing In Cold Blood, Lee offered to be his research assistant and minder when they were in Kansas following the Clutter family murder trials on which the book is based. The 2005 movie Capote, with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman in the eponymous role, captures the relationship wonderfully. While Capote never fully acknowledged Lee's role in the book, many of her observations about town folk, their routines and prejudices made In Cold Blood the true crime classic it is.

HDFC Bank will be circumspect about the quality of wholesale and retail loans and how they choose to price. The bank’s chief financial officer Srinivasan Vaidyanathan hinted that intense competition was bringing down profitability on wholesale loans. “On the wholesale category, we have seen that credit demand is high but the rates are benign,” said chief financial officer Srinivasan Vaidyanathan. “The spread over government securities is thinner and competition pushes it even down. We want to be circumspect in how we price and choose (loans). In the retail segment, we are leaders on mortgages but on the unsecured side, we have seen regulators talking about being cautious of credit quality. We are cautious of the credit and calibrate accordingly.” The lender said advances grew 52.6% on year in the June quarter driven by retail loans, which more than doubled. Corporate and wholesale loans grew 18.7% on year. Total loans stood at Rs 24.8 lakh crore.

Mike Conley spent most of the 1980s ranked among the top triple jumpers in the world. So, heading into the US Olympic trials in ’88, there was very little thought given to the idea he wouldn’t finish in the top three and make the trip to Seoul. In a sport embedded inside an Olympic world where medals can be won and careers can be made by the most minuscule of fractions — of seconds or centimeters — what toppled Conley’s hopes had nothing to do with a measuring tape. It was a pair of baggy shorts, the likes of which he had never worn in a track meet before, that did him in. Conley recalls video replays that showed the breeze that was kicked up by the vented flaps on the sides of his shorts created a barely perceptible mark in the sand nearly a foot behind where he landed.
