[AI] Spotlight: S. RAVI of The Hindu talks to PadmaShri Cricketer Shekhar Naiyer
Conferred with the Padma Shri this year, former Indian captain Shekhar Naik tells S. RAVI the honour will help the cause of cricket for the blind and motivate the visually impaired http://www.thehindu.com/society/In-the-spotlight/article17181289.ece Green turf, salubrious weather and gentle breeze at Siri Fort Sports Complex make it a perfect day for cricket. The tension and excitement are palpable as one of the inaugural matches of the ongoing Second T20 World Cup Cricket for the Blind between Pakistan and New Zealand is about to begin. One person can be easily spotted in the crowd as he moves swiftly attending to the ground, players and officials. His infectious agility galvanises everyone into action. Meet the nation’s hero, Shekhar Naik, who has been awarded Padma Shri this year. He captained the blind cricket team putting India on the international map by lifting the T-20 World Cup in 2012 and the World Cup held at South Africa in 2014. He shares this honour of leading the country to victory in two championships in different formatswith Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The comparison lights up his face and he smiles. “Dhoni is an iconic player and captain. When people make this comparison I feel greatly honoured. I have followed his moves and strategies on the field very carefully and find his bowling changes and field placement excellent. As a player I follow all cricket games very carefully and learn tactics which I later try in my game. For example, noticing a batsman wanting to hit, we entice him to step out of the crease to get him stumped.” Shekhar’s ingenuity is evident wh bute like that.” Ketan Patel, the man of the series in the 2012 and 2014 cups whom Shekhar refers to as his “special hero” distinctly remembers how the captain pushed him . “Always there as a friend, philosopher and guide I respect him not just for seniority but his cricketing brains. The trust he has reposed on me, I hope I can keep it up.” Patrick Rajkumar, coach of Indian team, describes Naik as a great player idolised by his players and open to new ideas. “When I emphasised on practising throws for run-outs he immediately agreed.” Analysing his game, he says, “Shekhar’s appearance is very deceptive and seldom people think that he can bat and bowl till they see him action. He hits the ball hard, scores on both sides and his armour includes sweeps, fine leg glances and reverse sweep. While timing the ball very sweetly between the gaps he can frustrate the opposition. As a bowler he specialises in reverse swing, dragging the ball back and bouncers.” xpressing his gratitude to the Government, Shekhar observes, “I am absolutely thrilled and happy more so because I had never expected it. Getting the unexpected always brings more joy than what you are already anticipating. Isn’t that true,” he asks with a smile. “Besides the prestige that the honour holds, what is significant is that the award will make people curious about blind cricket leading to their active participation thereby giving encouragement to more than 5 players in India,” he adds. For Shekhar, the charm of Padma Shri is double since he will share the stage with his hero Virat Kohli who too has been bestowed with this honour. Finding this coincidence pleasant, he hopes it will benefit the cause of blind cricket “Cricket binds us. With both of us receiving the award, it will bring to fore that everything is same, the game and the sportsmanship – so it will definitely help us.” Shekhar confesses that he admires Virat immensely and he has keenly followed how this sportsman appeared on the horizon to reach at the helm of affairs. “I admire his knack of promoting young cricketers irrespective of pressure, something which I also did.” As disciplined, obedient and team player Shekhar set the standards for others to follow. The present Indian captain of T-20 team, Ajay Kumar Reddy, referring to him as Naik bhaiya says, “I was inspired by Shekhar bhai’s batting and bowling. As a vice captain under him, I learnt how to set the field according to the batsman, bowler and the pitch condition. He encouraged me to learn to speak English and Hindi and very importantly how to handle fellow players.” Hailing from Shimoga, Karnataka, life has been a perpetual struggle for Shekhar since childhood. The blindness was hereditary as his mother and maternal grandfather both were visually impaired as 14 others in the family. Recalling that even two square meals was a tough proposition, Shekhar says, “Belonging to Lambanis, I had three things against me, blindness, poverty and illiteracy. It was my mother’s love and encouragement which kept me going since normal children would not allow me to play with them. On joining a blind school in 1996 when 10 I played cricket without even knowing the name of the game. I liked the hitting of the ball hard and fast. My mother would listen to my experiences with rapt attention and goad me to do better in the game and make name for myself. Do something tha

Re: [AI] Its 25th Jan today: Kaabil movie review: Hrithik Roshan is out for revenge
Hi, Kaabil portrayed blindness quite effectively, keeping in mind that the somewhat superhuman nature of Hritik's sense of smell and other slightly impractical tasks that Hritik is shown to accomplish is the masala element of Bollywood, which cannot be dismissed because this was a movie as opposed to an educational documentary. Yami's vulnerability was not associated to her disability in my perception. This is because the violators let their identities be known the second time they came, expressing their clear intention of visiting regularly, everything being linked with the power of corrupt corporate and political officials, nothing to do with helplessness of a visually impaired female. I am told however that Hritik's use of the cane was inconsistent, portraying the erroneous concept that blind individuals can travel even without a cane. The cane should have been used by both Hritik and Yami throughout. I also would have hoped that assistive technology should have been displayed, having been added as an extra modern element, despite it being based on a pre-AT era. Otherwise, I am glad that the movie has shown usage of the senses of hearing and smell, as opposed to propagation of the untrue myth of a sixth sense. I view the unnaturally powerful senses of smell that Hritik possessed an inevitable characteristic of any Bollywood movie's hero, in this case of a blind man. A white collar job would have been better, but given that the plot relied upon Hritik being a voice artist, and that another notable scene relied on the presence of a dance academy in which Yami was to be a pianist, I would overlook this criticism. Also, there was no excess of scenes drawing sympathy or pity for the viewers. Both were portrayed as confident beings. Thanks.
