PTI Trump, who reached Ahmedabad on Monday for the first leg of his India tour, visited the Ashram along with wife Melania minutes after he landed here. After noticing no mention of Mahatma Gandhi in the message by Trump, neti- zens took to Twitter, comparing his note with that of former US President Barack Obama. When Obama visited the Mani Bhavan - where Gandhi used to stay while in Mumbai - in south Mumbai in 2010, his note in the visitors' book read: “I am filled with hope and inspiration as I have the priv- ilege to view this testament to Gandhi's life. He is a hero not just to India but to the world.” Five years later, in January 2015, after visiting the Raj Ghat in Delhi, Obama wrote, “What Dr Martin Luther King Jr said then remains true today. The spirit of Gandhi is very much alive in India today. And it remains a great gift to the world. May we always live in the spirit of love and peace- among all people and nations.” Congress leader Manish Tewari posted an image of Trump's remarks in the Ashram visitors' book, saying “This is a snapshot of the note that someone sent. It ostensi- bly is @realDonaldTrumps note at Sabarmati. No mention of the Great Mahatma. Does he even know who Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was? PTI ! " " !&

Later on, a delegation of citizens cause any harm to the Indian citizens The initial probe by the local police confirmed that the bullets were live and were from Pakistan. Ballistic experts who rushed to the region found that the bullets were the ones which are used in long range machine guns. “Though the bullets were manufactured in the 1980s, they are still active and could be used even now,” said one of the ballistic experts who examined the bunch of bullets. A team of officials from the Directorate of Military Intelligence have reached Kollam to join the investigation and find out the routes through which the bullets entered Kerala. Unconfirmed reports in local media said that three of the bullets found in the bunch had Chinese markings. But officials refused to con- firm the news. Monday morning saw a team of NIA officials sweeping down on some of the areas in Chennai and Salem giving credence to the theory that persons from Tamil Nadu too were involved in the trafficking of bullets. But cops said later in the day that the searches were in connection with the murder of special police inspector Wilson who was killed last month at Kaliyikkavila by alleged Islamic terrorists. The officials of Kerala Police ruled out the possibilities of the bullets being the same which were missed from the armory of the state police. Kerala had been shaken by the Comptroller and Auditor General’s recent report that a number of guns and bullets were found missing from the armory of the Kerala Police in Thiruvananthaouram. A team of officials led by Tomin Thachankarri, ADGP found that the guns and bullets were accounted for. Investigating agencies are concerned about the location from where the bullets were found. “Kulathupuzha is a known haven of Islamic extremist organizations like Socialist Democratic Party of India (SDPI) and Popular Front of India (PFI). They have their own hide-outs in the area. Since Kulathupuzha is close to Tamil Nadu border, we are not ruling out the possibility of involvement of inter-State gangs,” said a senior police official in the region. !

books on Brueghel and then bought more books and researched the works at length. “I analysed how he created his characters and combined the Carnival and the season of Lent in one art piece. I then looked at the Proverbs in the Bible and began painting. A lot of my learnings came from reading books and going through repro- ductions of several famous painters,” she says. Through rich and amusing narratives, Cherian reinvents Brueghel’s works in a way that it makes one reminiscent of a Shakespearean tragedy and his other plays. Through images of Biblical rele- vance — Christ’s Crucifixion and Proverbs — and rustic idylls, the images are far from beautiful but they reflect exquisite craftsmanship, which impel us to change how we experience the perspec- tives we share in art. Cherian, as an artist, connects not only with the humble human culture of the past but also recog- nises the culture of the poor and the underprivileged. There is a certain sadistic element in most of her works, says art critics. Floating twisted torsos, with their hearts torn apart, dominate the canvas. She paints ghost-like creatures floating through air as if they were floating on water. Though various expressive faces, minute work on the dresses of her myr- iad figures, designs on the floor tiles, scene-depictions of a host of peasants and cultural symbols, her works boast of her love for detailing. Even though the paintings are filled with drama and the peasant characters tumble out of the past, art connoisseurs say that it’s her patience and precision that give the artpieces the rhythm of the Renaissance era. She says that Salvador Dali, also ? (" known as the ‘Master of Surrealism’; Heironymous Bosch and the German Romantic, Caspar David Fredrich have " ?4@:-3 greatly influenced her style.
