DAYNitish Kumar does a Kejriwal, butwill the Bihar voters follow Delhi?

You can and you will:Aditi Rao Hydari

MumbaiI remember when I was inhigh school, we used to havelong-distance running oncea week. It would be at 6 inthe morning and a part of therace would include an uphilltrack. I used to enjoy it, butsince then, I haven'tparticipated in a marathon.I think I should take part inone now! As part of myfitness regime, I do yogaand intersperse it with'interval training', which isbasically a form of exercise

where you have short burstsof walking and sprinting.For a lot of people,especially those who runlong-distance, running is likemeditating. It helps themdisconnect with all thestress. It is also good forbuilding stamina, endurance,mental strength and focus.Only people who arefocussed, can finish a long-distance run. Running alsokicks in the endorphinemaking you happy andbringing a beautiful glow to

your face. Two people whocan inspire you to run areFarhan Akhtar and RanveerSingh. The way Farhantrained for his role and whathe did in Bhaag MilkhaBhaag is inspirational. Hewould just have to say'bhaag' and people will startrunning. Ranveer, I think, isthe ultimate batteryrecharger. He is full ofenergy. When I run, I preferto do it on a beach or in apark at 6 in the morningbecause that's the best time.In fact, anyone participatingin a marathon should do alittle bit of yoga andbreathing exercises beforeD-Day. It helps control yourbreath because it is importantto breathe steadily whilerunning. And of course, runeveryday as practice. Eatingon time - that too, nutritiousfood - and sleeping on timeare extremely important butunderrated.Running themarathon and completing itis a victory in itself becauseit is something you are doingfor yourself. I would like tellevery girl out there 'You canand you will.'

Janata Dal (United) leader Nitish Kumar's quickadmission of his mistake in resigning as Bihar chiefminister and apology to the people is a clear reminderthat he has learnt a lesson from Aam Aadmi Party chiefand Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Speaking tomediapersons in Patna on Friday after meeting BiharGovernor Keshari Nath Tripathi, Kumar said, "I acceptmy mistake for stepping down as CM. I seek apologyfrom the people of Bihar for this mistake." Kejriwal toohad repeatedly admitted his mistake in resigning as Delhichief minister and apologised to the people of Delhi. Thevoters of the national capital seem to have not onlyforgiven Kejriwal but also brought AAP back to powerwith an unprecedented majority of 67 of the 70 seats.Kejriwal had resigned in a huff on February 14, 2014after AAP failed to get the Jan Lokpal Bill passed. It didnot get the support of the Congress with whose outsidesupport it was running the government. There are severalsimilarities between Kejriwal and Kumar as far asresigning from their chief minister's post and thenaccepting their mistake and apologising to the people isconcerned. The resignation of both Kejriwal and Kumaris related to their prime ministerial ambitions. In his speechon February 14 after he was sworn in as Delhi ChiefMinister for the second time, Kejriwal admitted that theyhad become arrogant enough to contest the Lok Sabhaelections. "We paid for our arrogance in the 2014 LokSabha elections and god punished us," he said. Kumar isalso known to have harboured prime ministerial ambitions.Exactly a week after Narendra Modi was declared asBharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Campaign Committeechairperson on June 16, 2013, JDU broke its alliancewith it. The BJP leaders took digs at Kumar saying hehad assumed that the third front parties would projecthim as the leader for the Lok Sabha elections which neverhappened. Both Kejriwal and Kumar seem to haverealised their mistakes the hard way. The former had towitness protests in the form of facing black flags, hoots,eggs, tomatoes and footwears from the public throughoutthe country. A Delhi auto-rickshaw driver even slappedhim hard once. As far as Kumar is concerned, he installedhis follower Jatin Kumar Manjhi. However, instead ofbeing a "remote-controlled" chief minister, Manjhi defiedhim and JDU and embarrassed them on severaloccasions. Matters reached such a pass that Manjhi wasexpelled from the party despite being a CM and bothchallenged each other. Apparently taking a leaf out fromKejriwal's experience, Kumar hopes that the voters willforget and forgive him if he aired in public his realisationof mistake and apologised to the people.

SPORTS ROUNDUPICC WORLD CUP-2015 COUNT-DOWN

India get cracking on attackingplan after Dhoni's command

MelbourneAfter India's opening matchagainst Pakistan, MS Dhonihad said that bowling sideswere resorting to short of alength in the World Cup andchallenging batsmen to playbig strokes. At their fulltraining session in theafternoon at Junction Ovalin St Kilda in suburbanMelbourne, two daysbefore their second WorldCup group game againstSouth Africa, his teamworked that plan into theroutine: the India quickbowlers tried mostly back ofa length or full length in thenets, and their batsmen triedto attack them as often asthey could. BhuvneshwarKumar, who has had ankleissues on this tour and didnot play against Pakistan,did not bowl in the nets, andwas confined to catchingpractice and sending downa few from a standingposition to Mohit Sharma.Stuart Binny and Umesh

Yadav began proceedingsand had extended bowlingstints on the centre pitch.They started against ShikharDhawan, who was givenplenty of back-of-a-lengthdeliveries, which herepeatedly punched throughthe off side. Umesh bowledsome quite full ones, too. Itwas Ravindra Jadeja's turnto bat next and he, too, hada decent hit while Dhawanheaded to the side nets toface shortish throwdownsfrom the sidearm device.Jadeja joined him there aftersome time. Ambati Rayudukept wicket against Binnyand Umesh, with coach

Duncan Fletcher and Dhonikeeping a watch from closequarters. Virat Kohli thencame to bat as the fastbowlers switched to theother end, and were joinedby Mohit. Kohli solidlydrove and lofted pitched-updeliveries on the off side.Ajinkya Rahane went aftershortish deliveries outside off,as he punched and upper-cutthem. Both batsmen andbowlers need to get morecomfortable with the short ofa length stuff, as Dhoni hasflagged it as the favouredoption in the tournament inthese conditions againstattacking batting.

I-League: Tough battle on the cardsas Mumbai FC face Wahingdoh

MUMBAIWhat a victory can do isamazing. Mumbai FC, for solong languishing at thebottom of the I-Leaguetable without a win,suddenly jumped into theeighth position.

On Friday ,Mumbai FC face thechallenge of RoyalWahingdoh at theCooperage in a sixth roundclash. Currently,Wahingdoh are enjoy ing animpressive run likeSunderland managed in theEnglish Premiership. Theyare leading the table with 13points from their six games.A young team managed bya shrewd coach in SantoshKashyap, it has fourvictories and one horrificdefeat at the hands ofBengaluru FC. Kashyapknows how to handleplayers and he showed in histeam's performance. His

statement is ample measureof that: "To be honest, I didnot expect us to be on top.I just told them to enjoy andgive their best. I have madethe team pressure-free," saidKashyap. Having said that,he quietly put the pressureon Mumbai FC bydeclaring that his team arethe favourites. Mumbai FChave played well and onlyagainst Salgaocar have theycome out on tops in termsof result. Japanese Taisukeand Jayesh Rane ran the

Salgaocar defence ragged.If according to indicationsClimax Lawrence joins themidfield, then they get acontrolling midfielder parexcellence.Mumbai FC defence hasplayed well and only arather foolish venture out ofthe safety by the goalkeepergave Salgaocar an openingin the first half. If MumbaiFC can play with the sameexuberance and solidity ,Cooperage will see a solidfight on Friday.

He proceeded topropel his side to victory

with a wagon wheel like adropped packet ofspaghetti. The veterancouldn't wait to shake hishand at the end afterwitnessing such acommanding display."Andrew Alderson inESPNCricinfo gives asnippet of BrendonMcCullum in his early days.He was brash. He wasaggressive. He wasfocussed. He was also

capable of wildlyinconsistent displays. Butwith time, especially aftertaking over New Zealand'scaptaincy reins, he hasmatured. It's amazing howa player's personality,especially a captain's, rubsonto the team and brings thebest out of the players. Asthe Kiwis absolutelythrashed England in front ofa full house at the Westpacstadium, the McCullumeffect was palpable. It wasTim Southee's (7-33) dayno doubt. He bowled oneof the best spells of swingbowling one could havewitnessed but it wasMcCullum’s aggressivecaptaincy that laid thefoundation for victory. InSouthee and Trent Boult,McCullum has one of themost dangerous new ballbowling pairs at hisdisposal.
