బర్మింగ్ హామ్: తన పాకిస్తాన్ భర్త షోయబ్ మాలిక్ కోసం హైదరాబాద్ సంచలనం సానియా మీర్జా టెన్నిస్ క్రీడకే స్వస్తి చెప్పనుంది. రెండేళ్లలో టెన్నిస్ ఆట నుంచి తాను తప్పుకుంటానని, వైవాహిక జీవితంపై దృష్టి కేంద్రీకరిస్తానని సానియా బర్మింగ్ హామ్ లో మంగళవారంనాడు చెప్పింది.
పెళ్లి జరిగిన వెంటనే భర్తకు దూరంగా ఉండడం అంత సులభం కాదని, రెండేళ్లలో టెన్నిస్ నుంచి తప్పుకుని వైవాహిక జీవితంపై దృష్టి పెడతానని ఆమె మీడియాతో అన్నది. టెన్నిస్ కారణంగా వ్యక్తిగత జీవితాన్ని చెడగొట్టదలుచుకోలేదని ఆమె చెప్పింది. పెళ్లి తర్వాత కూడా టెన్నిస్ ఆడుతానని చెప్పిన సానియాకు ఒక్కసారిగా వైవాహిక జీవితంపై మనసు పోయింది

Promising major reforms in the Medical Council of India, the Board of Governors on Tuesday said its mandate was not only to assess medical institutions but also suggest options to improve medical education and bring about time-bound changes.
“We want to propose a purposive system in medical education and governance to ensure absolute transparency with student as our ultimate target,” board chairman S.K. Sarin told journalists here. “The number of students opting for medicine as profession has declined, and this is a matter of serious concern. We need to give confidence to the students that medical education is accessible to all.”
The board members were evolving a vision document and setting up working groups for the purpose.
The board would try to simplify the regulations so as to reduce litigation. For, a poor understanding of the regulations often resulted in people going to court. Just two weeks into the job, the six-member board has set up 43 teams of assessors to evaluate the facilities in colleges, whose applications are pending for starting new colleges or expanding the existing ones or increasing the number of seats.
“To make the process more credible and transparent, the assessors, earlier known as inspectors, have been drawn from seven most reputed institutions of the country,” Dr. Sarin said. The process of selection and assigning the States was computer-generated.
The teams were told to use their wisdom during verification, but without going into trivial things. Their reports should be made available to the board by June 16. Under the ordinance by which the board was set up, its decision will be final. The entire process would be over by July 16. So far, the board has cleared proposals pertaining to 14,897 postgraduate seats, including super-specialties.
There were 87 proposals pending when the board took over on May 15. These had been cleared by the previous executive committee, but were not forwarded to the Health Ministry. All these institutions were asked to apply afresh but the board received only 79 applications, including from the Gyan Sagar Medical College in Punjab, whose complaint led to the arrest of MCI president Ketan Desai. “We were flooded with emails, phone calls and complaints, and we tried to address these sympathetically but without allowing illegal things to happen,” Dr. Sarin said.
Promising a foolproof system to check corruption, he said: “Allow us some more time. For those indulging in corruption, the law of the land will prevail.”

Asserting it would never be soft on terrorism, the United States says it continues to press Pakistan to act against the terror syndicate operating from its soil, including anti-India groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
"The United States will never be soft on terrorism," US Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia Robert Blake told reporters on Monday noting a terror syndicate operating in countries like Pakistan threatens both US, India and also Pakistan itself.
"This is our highest priority, and this is the area where probably we've made the greatest progress, in terms of our cooperation with India in terms of not only law-enforcement cooperation, but also intelligence cooperation," he said refuting a suggestion that US may be a little soft in dealing with cross border terrorism against India from Pakistan.
"We take extremely seriously the threats against both of our countries, because we believe that there is increasingly a syndicate that is operating in countries like Pakistan that threatens both of our countries, and it also threatens Pakistan itself," Blake said.
"So we feel it's in the interests of all three countries to address this very critical problem, to work together," said the US point man for South Asia.
"The US has been in the forefront of countries urging Pakistan to not only continue the progress it's been making in Swat and South Waziristan, but also to address the problem in the Punjab, namely, the Punjab-based groups, like Lashkar-e-Taiba, that are operating against India, that have also targeted the United States, in the Mumbai bombings and elsewhere."
"And again, this will remain a very, very high priority for us. And you should not doubt the sincerity of that statement," Blake said.
"We've taken a strong position on terrorism that is emanating from Pakistan soil, and that remains our very strong conviction, that it's in Pakistan's own interest to address that. And we'll continue to encourage our Pakistani friends to do that," he said in response to another question.
India-Pakistan relations also briefly came up during the US-India Strategic Dialogue he said. "Our long-standing position is that this is something that needs to be resolved by India and Pakistan, and that the pace and scope and character of that dialogue ...is really up to the two countries to decide."
Reaffirming US "support for the very important work that India has undertaken" in Afghanikstan, Blake said: "We have welcomed the very important role India has played so far. It's really up to India to decide how, where it wants to take its cooperation from here."
"We recognize that India is going to develop its own relationship with Afghanistan. We recognize that Pakistan will as well," he said. "We don't see this in zero sum terms."
