First look of Munna Michael

Tiger Shroff is on a roll these days. First it was the poster of Rambo that set the tongues wagging, and now it is the first look of Munna Michael.

Production company Eros Now tweeted the first poster of the film directed by Sabbir Khan.

This is Sabbir Khan and Tiger Shroff’s third film together after Heropanti and Baaghi.

The film seems like a tribute to Michael Jackson’s hugely popular dance moves. The poster shows Tiger throwing a hat, popularised by MJ in the ‘80s, in the air. It’s said to be a story of a poor guy who is an ace dancer and a Jackson fan.

2017 French Open Will Be Missing Roger Federer,Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova

ROGER FEDERER

It is a well-known fact that the 18-time Grand Slam winner is crazy about grass courts. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Federer loves playing at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club as much as Jon Snow loves wielding his ‘Longclaw’. Although Federer broke the hearts of millions by withdrawing from the dustiest Grand Slam on the planet for the second straight year in preparation for Wimbledon, the 35-year-old assured that he is trying to prolong his career by consciously avoiding the taxing clay court season.

The Swiss, who missed the last six months of the 2016 season with a knee injury, is positive that he will compete in Paris next year.

The winner of the first Grand Slam of 2017, Australian Open, Federer, lifted his maiden silver trophy designed and made by Maison Mellerio dits Meller, in 2009.

Roger Federer’s absence will definitely make things easier for nine-time champion Rafael Nadal, who remains unbeaten on clay this season.

SERENA WILLIAMS

Serena Williams, the best female tennis player of this era and one of the world’s most prominent athletes, announced on Twitter in April that she was pregnant and expecting her first child later this year. At the peak of her career, the 35-year-old decided that Grand Slam titles can wait as she promised to be back on the circuit to contest her 24th major in 2018.

The three-time French Open winner (2002, 2013, 2015) was two months pregnant when she won Australian Open in January and broke her tie with Steffi Graf for the most Grand Slam singles titles in the Open era

Williams now ranks behind only Margaret Court’s 24 on the career list.

The American has been single-handedly dominating women’s tennis in recent history and because of her absence, women’s championship at French Open 2017 will be wide open and up for grabs.

MARIA SHARAPOVA

Maria Sharapova tasted major success very early in her career. She was a Wimbledon champion and world number one at eighteen. Despite being injury-prone, Sharapova has sustained a long playing career and is still going strong

On 12 March 2016, the Russian announced that she tested positive for a banned substance during the Australian Open 2016 and all hell broke loose.

The two-time French Open winner (2012, 2014) was outlawed for taking meldonium, a medication she had been taking for 10 years within the rules, but that was reclassified as a banned drug.

After serving a 15-month ban, Sharapova is back, determined to salvage her lost pride. She got wild card entries at most of the WTA tournaments but was refused a wild card into the French Open.

Sharapova, who is confident in her integrity, has 310 ranking points to her name, which places her at number 171 and she cannot get a direct entry with such low rankings.

With Serena Williams missing out, French Open 2017 was being considered Sharapova’s tournament of reckoning. Although the 30-year-old is a bit rusty, still she could have provided a stiff competition to her opponents. We cannot deny that Sharapova’s presence adds spark to competitions and all those who have been eagerly waiting for her return will have to wait a little longer

This Bihar School Runs as Per Indian Railways Timings

A government school in Bihar's Sitamarhi district runs as per the timings of Indian Railways.

The reason for this is that the teachers of the school in Kamala village of the district do not live there and commute by train.

The school opening and closing as per the railway timings has angered the villagers.

They allege that the school teachers do not come on time due to which the school remain closed more often. According to the villagers, the four government teachers that have been appointed in this school, only come to school to mark their attendance and leave without taking any classes.

As these teachers commute by train from Sitamarhi to reach the school in Kamala village, they follow the railways timetable and do not teach students, said a villager. We have reported the matter to senior authorities many a times but no action has been taken against them, he added.

He further said that the villagers cannot send their children to any other private school as they are poor people.

District Education Officer Suresh Prasad said, "The matter has come to our notice. We will take action against the accused after proper investigation."

GST Bill - Delhi Assembly Passes State GST Bill, Wants Maximum Slab of 10% Wednesday May 31,2017

The Delhi Assembly on Wednesday May 31,2017 passed the state Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill even as Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal pitched for capping the tax rate at a maximum of 10 %

A special session of the Assembly cleared the bill with voice vote after an extensive discussion and also adopted a resolution opposing proposed "higher tax slabs" in the GST.

Parliament had on April 6 passed four legislations to pave the way for nationwide roll-out of the GST from July 01,2017

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said under the GST regime, tax slabs should be 10 percent, 5 percent each for the Centre and the states, claiming that higher tax slabs may trigger inflation.

"GST is the biggest tax reform and in principle we all are with it. But we have concerns pertaining to its implementation. We believe higher tax slabs may trigger inflation and it will not be good for the country. "The more the tax rate, the less the compliance. Lower tax slabs would lead to more tax collection. We brought down tax rate on many items in Delhi and reaped benefits," Kejriwal said.

The GST Council has approved four-tier tax slabs of 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent plus an additional cess on demerit goods like luxury cars, aerated drinks and tobacco products. The resolution, moved by AAP MLA Vishesh Ravi, stated that this House is in support of GST in principle but this House opposes the way in which tax rates of 18 & 28 percent in GST Council meetings.

"This House is of the view that higher tax rates never return higher collections to government exchequer, instead higher tax rates lead to inflation and tax evasion. "This House proposes that GST rates on any Good or Service should not be more than 10 per cent," the resolution stated.

Replying to the discussion on the GST, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said although the new tax reform is good for the entire country, proposed higher tax slabs in the new tax law should be brought down.

Hitting out at the BJP, Sisodia said that when the Congress-led UPA was in power, it had opposed the GST then, but it is now supporting the new tax legislation when the saffron party is in the power.

"GST has been introduced after abolishing 17 different taxes which is good for traders and consumers in the country. We support the new move which is in favour of the people of country. We are not like the BJP," Sisodia, who also holds finance portfolio, said.

Attacking the government, Opposition Leader Vijender Gupta said that there is no logic in expressing dissent on these issues (higher tax slabs), adding that it reflects double speak of the government.

"Delhi government did not protect the interest of traders in the GST Council. Delhi traders will now have to bear increased taxation under GST. The Deputy Chief Minister should have brought it to the notice of the GST Council and protected the interest of traders," Gupta said.
