There is no denying the fact that the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has the capability of making things simple and he has done something of this sort while addressing a conclave through video conferencing.

On Friday, PM Modi spoke in Manorama News Conclave which was taking place in Kochi, Kerala, but PM Modi attended it via a video link. While speaking in the conclave, he put forth a suggestion and asked people to use the power of language to unite. He said that languages have been used for selfish interests so far and urged people to now use them for getting united. As per PM Modi, it can be done by posting one word in 10-12 languages which are spoken in India and in this manner, a person will be able to learn 300 new words in different languages in a year.

The suggestion was liked by many, including the Congress leader and Kerala MP Shashi Tharoor who is known for his linguistic skills, wit and sense of humour. Shashi liked PM Modi’s suggestion a lot and welcomed it as he felt that it is a departure from Hindi dominance.

Shashi Tharoor also decided to take up this #LanguageChallenge and from now on, he would post one word daily in three languages – Hindi, English and Malayalam. He took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and made a couple of tweets in this connection.

His first tweet read,

“Prime Minister @NarendraModi ended his speech at the #manoramanewsconclave by suggesting we all learn one new word a day from an Indian language other than our own. I welcome this departure from Hindi dominance &gladly take him up on this #LanguageChallenge.”

1/2 PrimeMinister @NarendraModi ended his speech at the #manoramanewsconclave by suggesting we all learn one new word a day from an Indian language other than our own. I welcome this departure from Hindi dominance &gladly take him up on this #LanguageChallenge.

In the second tweet, Shashi Tharoor wrote,

“In response to the PM’s #LanguageChallenge, I will tweet a word daily in English, Hindi & Malayalam. Others can do this in other languages. Here is the 1st one:

Pluralism (English)

बहुलवाद

bahulavaad (Hindi)

ബഹുവചനം

bahuvachanam (Malayalam)”

2/2 In response to the PM’s #LanguageChallenge, I will tweet a word daily in English, Hindi & Malayalam. Others can do this in other languages. Here is the 1st one:

This is how Twitter users reacted to the tweets made by Shashi Tharoor:

I absolutely adored the your choice of word to kickstart this #newwordinanotherlanguage challenge. Very apt. pic.twitter.com/wQ9EAYgiFg

Bahuvachanam is simply "plural" not pluralism. But nice try.

— The Accidental Gandhi (@ClownPrinceG) August 30, 2019

Interesting! Kudos . Bahuvachanam is not the correct meaning of 'pluralism'. Bahuvachanam means 'Plural', the opposite of 'singular'. The correct meaning of Pluralism should be ബഹുത്വം, ie a condition or system in which two or more states, groups, principles, etc., coexist.

Will look forward to your wordplay every morning at breakfast. Hope Modi Ji learns Malayalam from you!

There are many related words….English to malayalam translation could be tricky…..

Guess/surmise/conjecture/conjure/assume/suppose.

All the above broadly mean the same… But they are different

i doubt bahuvachanam would be exact translation of pluralism, haven't seen anyone use the word

The post Shashi Tharoor Takes Up PM Modi’s Language Challenge & Twitter Can’t Keep Calm appeared first on RVCJ Media.

Coaches are pretty important for all the players irrespective of whatever sports they play but former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag feels that cricketers don’t give credit to their coaches. It is the coach who recognises and nurtures the talent but very few coaches get famous despite the fact that their students get recognition in the whole world.

It won’t be incorrect to say that every Sachin fan should be thankful to Ramakant Achrekar because he was the man who turned a talented boy into a legend.

While speaking on a book launch on 29^th August in Mumbai, Virender Sehwag was surprised to see that Commonwealth and Olympic games are bigger than cricket but still the facilities that the Indian athletes are getting are just 10-20 percent of what cricketers are getting. Despite that, the athletes are working hard and winning medals for the country.

On the matter of not giving credit to the coaches by the cricketers, Viru said that it might be because once the cricketers start playing for the country, they don’t meet or talk to their coaches much and forget them. However in other sports, the players need their coaches from the beginning till the end.

Viru’s friend and former teammate Harbhajan Singh doesn’t seem to agree with Sehwag and he took to the micro-blogging site Twitter to express his opinion.

This is what Bhajji tweeted, “Don’t agree to this.. may be few individuals they don’t give credit to their coaches but few of them they don’t move anywhere without them..guru bina gati nahi”.

Harbhajan wants to say that there is no momentum in a player’s life without the coach.

With whom do you agree – Sehwag or Harbhajan? Do let us know.

Mia Khalifa is still one of the most searched persons on the Internet despite the fact that she has left the adult industry long time back. She surprised everyone when she recently revealed that she didn’t make a fortune while working in the adult movie industry for three months. As per her, she has earned just $12,000 in these three months and it is tough for her to live a normal life even after leaving the industry.

When she was asked as to why she chose the adult movie industry, she held her low self-esteem responsible for it. She liked getting compliments and wanted it to go on like this. However, things didn’t go the way she wanted and instead turned ugly after a video featuring her performing in a hijab appeared online. This angered many people, especially from Lebanon and Middle-Eastern countries. Even ISIS started intimidating her and ultimately, she decided to quit from the adult industry.

She said that the hijab scene was the turning point in her life; she was all over the news and trending on Twitter. She was banned in some Muslim countries and being a Catholic, she felt bad. As per Mia, she was not worried about ISIS and it was not fear but shame with which she was living.

She also talked about the effect of her short adult movie career on her life even after bidding good bye to it. Getting a normal job was really tough for her and it is still affecting her life and privacy.

She gets stressed whenever she goes out in public because of the way people stare at her and she feels that they can see through her clothes. She feels ashamed and it appears that she has lost her rights of privacy as she can be easily searched on Google, thanks to her stint.

Mia Khalifa was born in Lebanon in the year 1993 while in 2001, she shifted to the United States of America and it was in the year 2014 that she started working in the adult movie industry. She told that throughout her childhood, she had weight issues and she never felt worthy of getting attention from men. But as she entered the first year of her college, she lost weight by making small changes and by the time of completion of her college, she was a totally changed person.

The second test match between India and West Indies started yesterday at Sabina Park, Jamaica, and by the end of the first day, India was 264/5 with Rishabh Pant and Hanuma Vihari on the crease. While Pant was at 27, Hanuma was going strong at 42.

However, the player who was praised the most was Indian skipper Virat Kohli who played a beautiful innings of 76 runs. Nevertheless, he was criticised a lot by the Indian cricket fans for providing several chances to Indian opener KL Rahul who is performing in a poor manner regularly.

KL Rahul departed early after scoring just 13 runs while his partner Mayank Agarwal scored a half-century. Rahul has not been able to perform well with his bat for a long time now and Indian cricket lovers are not able to understand why he is getting repeated chances and Rohit Sharma is constantly being ignored. Many are saying that it is Virat Kohli’s friendship with KL Rahul because of which he is not getting ousted from the team despite consistent poor performances.

Twitter users seem to be quite upset with KL Rahul and slam him heavily for his performance in the second test match. Some go on to the extent of saying that it is high time he should be shown the door and Rohit Sharma should find a place in the test squad.

Here are some of the selected tweets:

#1

KL Rahul seems 2 b the adopted child of Virat Kohli & Anushka Sharma, reason y he keeps getting repeated chances even after repeated failures while a seasoned & tested batsman like Rohit Sharma is left out. A rift b/w Kohli & Sharma is apparent, wch is affecting the team #WIvIND

KL Rahul is wasting opportunities. Very disappointing performance of KL. VK is giving too much opportunities to KL Rahul.

I wonder how many KL Rahul failures can Kohli tolerate before he gives one chance to Rohit. Against an average bowling attack he has failed to cross even 50 runs in three innings.

— Ninad (@Ninad_chaubal) August 30, 2019

Some time ago, there was news that Virat and Rohit are not on talking terms after the exit of India from the World Cup 2019. Not only this, it was also said that some players are not happy with the style of functioning of the coach and the captain and that KL Rahul will remain in team even if he doesn’t perform because he is a good friend of Indian skipper Virat Kohli.

What is your take on this matter? Do let us know.
