Commerce ministry Super ELF G2 investigation arm DGTR has begun the investigation after finding evidence of dumping of the products from China, Korea, the European Union, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, the US, Thailand, South Africa, the UAE, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, Vietnam and Malaysia.If it is established in the probe that dumping has caused material injury to domestic players, the directorate recommends anti-dumping duties to guard the interest of industry.India conducts anti-dumping investigation on the basis of applications filed by domestic industry with prima facie evidence of dumping of goods in the country.Anti-dumping duties are levied to provide a level playing field to local industry by guarding against cheap below-cost imports.

The probe is a quasi-judicial process and is allowed under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules.Indian Stainless Steel Development Association, Jindal Stainless, Jindal Stainless (Hisar) and Jindal Stainless Steelway have filed an application before the directorate alleging dumping of the products from companies of these nations. India is a member of WTO which frames laws for global exports and imports.

He likes the Kerala artist Valsan Koorma Kolleri’s work and how he has pioneered using new methods and materials for his sculptures. Nowadays, my inspiration comes from philosophy and human behaviour.So what will this thinking mind, and one who wants to go beyond just measures of sight, to sound and abstract ideas, do with the huge cash windfall? “I want to use the prize money for international residencies and secure a studio space with equipment. Harsha took a real risk in combining these materials and I think he has created something special. “I helped my father as an apprentice in his studio from an early age.  No doubt influenced by his father, a sculptor.

The 89 born artist from Andhra Pradesh is the recipient of the major 50,000 Rio Tinto Award at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe, Perth, Australia for his work ‘Column of Sound’. It had a profound effect on me,” says an older Harsha, but it is easy enough to imagine the gawky teen eavesdrop with sheer glee.Harsha’s mother is a philosophy graduate teaching Montessori and he has a younger sister who is studying liberal arts in Pune. I have not seen a sculpture like it before.“I think my eureka moment happened very early — 1997 when I attended the 9th Triennale at the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi with my family. Harsha Vardhan Durugadda From a family of sculptors, it was only a matter of which artistic pursuit to weft accumulator imbibe for Harsha Vardhan Durugadda.

This is why I chose it for the Andrea Stretton Memorial Invitation to be in our Western Australian exhibition next March. Be it Rabbi, Zen monks or Sufi Dervishes, I am trying to understand their words. In the beginning I was naive, more interested in the form, volume and skill of making an aesthetic object. Initially, what attracted me was hearing my father’s artist friends talk about gypsies, philosophy and life. But now my definition of aesthetic is not about the object, but about the experience and preserver. “Australians have been very welcoming. Sound — temporal and ephemeral — translated to tactile and eternal. I think we are missing the point of living life.“He (Valsan) is also very radical and does not care about the art market. Its playful side suits the beach, but it’s such a good work of art it could sit in a public gallery. Not that it matters in the surreal sense, as his yearning to evolve is unfettered. He has earlier shown his work at London’s Covent Garden with Plastic Propaganda, a group based in the UK 2014. Harsha’s sculpture fits nicely in its position at Tamarama Beach.Harsha’s mother is a philosophy graduate teaching Montessori and he has a younger sister who is studying liberal arts in Pune.“I want to see if I can break stereotypes, disturb thoughts to see things afresh. I hung around sculpture camps/ symposiums as a kid with my father. I want to be mindful and create works resonating a sense of thoughtfulness. In fact, my father is my most important mentor. We have become very impatient these days, I want to see if we can change that, at least try,” says the artist, who just completed a month-long artist residency in Kalga, Himachal Pradesh. When I met him in London in 2014, he was talking about the Buddhist Stupa and how his next work was inspired from its Philosophy,” he says. I spent quality time with  Zadok Ben David from London, Jorg from Germany and Richard Tipping from Australia.David Handley speaks“As one of 104 works by artists from 17 countries, Harsha’s sculpture is of high standard.The angst of the times is something an artist spends sleepless nights coming to terms with, or in effect letting that translate into his body of work, and Harsha is no different, in that he loves the diverse nature of India and believes that ancient wisdom and people were so much more grounded in their beliefs, norms and life, which then became a muse. A paradigm shift of our sensory experience.”This is Durugadda’s first Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe exhibition, having received the Andrea Stretton Memorial Invitation from Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi 2016.

Antony Gormley is from London, famous for his large scale figurative works inspired by the mindful philosophies of the eastern worlds. My father’s philosophy professor Adinarayana, a gypsy and scholar who holds a record in the Limca Book of Records, recently completed a world expedition across parts of Europe on foot.Living in Delhi, close to creative spirits is something Harsha has embraced heartily. My experience in Australia has been overwhelming because I got to share space with the works of senior international artists. I admire and enjoy looking at Harsha’s sculpture. But life is not always ensconced by searing inspirations and obsessive explorations, the yoga buff loves swimming, long bicycle rides and camping outdoors, with a few philosophy books to converse with. It is serious and yet playful with its unusual combination of marble and steel.”

About the sculpture that married art with ambient sounds, Harsha says, “‘Column of Sound’ is based on the visual dynamics of an audio wave.The award and his experience in Australia will be etched in his heart. I also met young international artists like Nenad from Serbia, Jina lee from korea and Zhou from China. Globally, David Cerny from Czech Republic, is known for his controversial, political and satirical large works exploring the word situation. The boy who grew up in Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad and then moved to Delhi for a PG Diploma in visual communication, is simplistic in thought and lets his art evolve through his explorative thought. He also did a group show in Portland, USA with Emergent Art Space. I think the award is a great confidence booster and will garner more respect for my work,” he says. I will be a student of life till I die,” he says. I would want to use my artwork as a vehicle to communicate this

”Other trends that worked according to Sahi were, fishnet stockings, Layering and robes and nightwear worn as daywear as well. Sure the lingerie trend is sexy to wear, but pyjamas just makes one look like a slob if you don&SHRP Weft Feeder39;t look like Gigi Hadid!”Furthermore, according to her, Fanny Packs too was a mistake. Lina Maine concludes the soft lingerie look, pyjamas as day wear, clear plastic pants, platform sneakers and torn t-shirts with holes failed to transcend beyond runways and fashion niches, as the year came to an end. Similary, nose hair extensions, or even glitter vaginas failed to make their mark.Four designers share their views on what worked and what did not in the world of fashion in 2017.” She also points out that denims were a big trend. Similarly, - dramatic ruffles, patent leather, shoulder pads, everything 80’s made a surprising comeback. She went that torn denim, vintage tasselled couture dress, statement t-shirt were other trends that worked.

”As for what worked, Wadhwa says, “Styled utilitarian classics - think white shirt, trench coats, all re-imagined and revamped worked amazingly well. (Photo: AP) Let’s face it, everything that designers envision for the runways do not necessarily work in real life.“Double jeans, muddy jeans, detachable jeans, jeans with clear knees, but worst of all, thong jeans! - an absolute no no”She further adds, “Pyjamas as evening wear too did not work.Owner of L’Mane, Lina Mane says that athlete inspired style ruled the charts when it came to fashion that worked. While they might seem bold, risky and avante-garde for their moment under the glare of paparazzi and critics alike, they often do not turn into practical or wearable options to be kept in the closet for everyday wear.Four designers share their views as to the highs and lows of fashion this year. Similarly, other fashion trends that suddenly turn into a fad too do not work in the long run.“We are obsessed with the 90's but come on - why would you add an extra bit of bulge in the area you're trying to look slim in” she asks, adding, “Cropped flare jeans too did nothing to flatter any body type.”

According to fashion designer Chandi Sahi trends that did not work included low waist pants.“Creeper shoes also that trended a lot were suddenly pulled back this year,” she opines.The Moschino's dry cleaner dress did not work.According to Vidhi Wadhwani, creator of Oceania, the cold-shoulder trend, print on print, hi-shine/ Metallics in fashion and makeup both, More-is-more trend as opposed to the Normcore trend last year and plaid/checks and ruffles all worked in 2017.“

They simply did not make a cut as compared to the high waist trousers and paper bag waists,” she elaborates, adding, “The skinny jeans didn't get as much attention when the bootcut and flared jeans came into trend as well.Chandi Sahi says, “The trends that worked this year included the 70's and 80's era look that might continue next year as well. She further agreed with other designers in saying that crop tops and high waist pants worked this yearAs 2017 comes to an end, one can see a general pattern to what designers found failing when it came to fashion this year.Speaking about the spectacular fashion failures, she critiques, “The trends that did # not work included the grunge look, the black lipstick, platform heels and the trend of being size Zero. Neither did Balenciaga's car mat skirts manage to ‘vroom’ into people’s houses. Similarly the Double jeans, Thong jeans, Crotchless jeans or Clear jeans were a bit too radical for normal people to wear in their everyday lives.”She further adds that the cold shoulder trend was seen fading away by the second half of the year while Fringe accessories also saw a drawback as they started going out of fashion in the second half of 2017.. Both the dry cleaner dress and thong jeans failed to make a mark beyond the runway this year.Designer Varsha Wadhwa says a lot of jeans did not work in 2017

And so what if certain ads have been banned, we know we can find them online!”Her army upbringing paved the way for an explorative context giving her ad-verses a resonance of advertising history.A fun tour of the Indian advertising landscape, exploring how ads are both business solutions and an entertaining facet of our lives.

Everyone knows surrogate advertising when we see it. Everyone swore at everyone. How we can be prudish but also see nothing wrong in machismo messaging. Along with a lasting fascination for the Shaktiman trucks — our school buses!” says the author whose time at JWT was a montage of whimsicality. It’s a fun profession, so its case studies deserved being written about in a fun way,” Ritu elaborates. Ritu delves deeper, “There can be so many factors at play in making an ad iconic. There were folk in Kanjeevarams as well as in hawai chappals. I still like those retro Channel V Quick Gun Murugan ads,” she says. It was fascinating! My fondest memory is my first film I conceptualised for Pepsi and it starred Kapil Dev’s mother instead of him,” recalls Ritu. Today, she is considered iconic. (sic) The wanderer at heart, she has rubbed noses with the Maoris, eaten garlic icecream, and more.” It also tells a tale of how India has changed from the “washing powder Nirma” days to today’s inclusiveness. And intrusive.

“The US is spectacular. Ritu Singh When an ad woman sits down to pen her thoughts, the irreverence and tongue-in-cheek humour hangs like a chimera over her anecdotes. But it also explores how ads are a close part of one’s TV watching. All ‘ad’-hoc, in the sense that they stem from her years in advertising with JWT.”Stark raving ad By Ritu Singh Hachette India pp. When conceptualised, Surf’s Lalitaji was found to be insufferable in research groups. The feeling stayed with me for life — a feeling of ‘adventuring’.Being in advertising, it was only a matter of putting pen to incidents that made Stark Raving Ad a reality, “It seemed a logical thing to write about — ads as business solutions and as entertaining facets of our lives. “I wish! I do hear magical tales of army brats who are fearless and have that kind of adaptability Darwin would’ve loved to examine. It’s like a stunning drive-through of glowing volcanoes, ancient petroglyphs, jaw-dropping views, tall mountains. When I started, I thought of it being all about facts with graphs and charts, but the jokes and one-liners kept creeping in, and stayed. 

The Dilli girl at heart recalls a scandalous chapter, “I think it was the Chaddi pehan ke FOOL khila hai chapter which has scandalous ads.” Her favourite ads? “I’ll admit to playing favourites — I quite like Indian ads, as they are reflective of our personalities and quirks.274, Rs 350What augurs well for the industry is that it is more inclusive. “JWT was like walking from an ordered life of a cantonment to a place where there were no rules. But I remember my many, many schools and house changes accompanied by a feeling that was not always brave.Brand connect lies at the origin of her book. But she does not think so. She calls it a “whistle-stop tour of the advertising landscape with an intuitive and open-ended selection of brands and ads — the hits, misses, scandalous and iconic.

Forget military katora cuts, some guys wore their hair in glossy blunts. They hated her, but some key brand people insisted on her. Ritu Singh’s debut book Stark Raving Ad, a giddy guide to Indian ads you love (or hate) resonates with wit, interspersed with a deeper understanding  of advertising and marketing solutions and facts which she presides over with humour. It was funny to see our dichotomies. We visited Denmark recently, and weft accumulator while the castles, Scandinavian design and ‘the happiest people on earth’ tag is all very noteworthy, one of the most memorable moments was bumping into a bunch of Vikings roaming the streets giving mean, marauding looks while wearing towel-capes, plastic helmets with horns and guzzling beer

Writers have dreamed up ideas and possibilities out of nowhere, and future scientists have again and again been inspired enough to look into turning them into reality.By arrangement with Dawn. The playfulness of the exercise really must be admired. To put it in Douglas Adams’ words, "Resistance is futile".

While not yet available on the mass market, the very fact that some version of such a device has actually been invented is absolutely fascinating. If it’s just us, prewinder seems like an awful waste of space".)We may be tantalisingly close to finding out, though.But to my mind, the most interesting observation of all came from Sir Arthur C.With a high level of sensors of various sorts, it will be either a standalone device that measures matters such as blood pressure and temperature, etc, capable on its own of analysing the data, or through a connection to a medical database through the Internet.Back in the 1980s, Douglas Adams famously conceived of the Earth as a backward planet in an uncharted corner of the galaxy — a galaxy otherwise filled with far more advanced and varied life forms, cultures, and civilisations. (The only change to this prologue came as a nod to feminism, when in the context of the exploration of space, the phrase "where no man has gone before" was changed to "where no one has gone before". Research on astrophysics, satellite technology, and space exploration, etc, has never really ceased (though funding cuts have occurred), and the big minds that walk amongst us have doggedly gone on with their work. Behind it were decades of complex mathematical and technological calculations, from the macro to the micro, and strings of coding and pre-programming.Last February, Elon Musk’s research/ exploration company SpaceX sent up — just because it had the capability of doing so — to orbit hopefully near Mars, a Tesla Roadster, the payload carried by SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy, now the world’s most powerful rocket. (For the riposte to that, by the way, one must turn to astronomer and astrophysicist Carl Sagan, who remarked that "The universe is a pretty big place. Recent events give hope that humanity may yet breach the final frontier.It has often been said that the science fiction of yesteryear becomes the real science of today.Anyone with the slightest familiarity with the Star Trek series will have recognised the title of this humble piece of writing, taken as it is from the text prologue that has preceded every episode and film for decades.)What is encouraging is that space exploration continues to be worked upon, and we seem to be closer than ever to breaching the final frontier.It’s a seductive image, a cherry red battery-operated sports vehicle floating in the darkness of space, its glossy paint reflecting the Earth, a gloved mannequin seated behind the steering wheel and with the words "Don’t panic" (from the Hitchhiker, which Musk has said directly inspired him to go into space research) emblazoned across its dashboard. In his "trilogy of five parts".

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, he postulates that humanity has not yet managed to contact/ detect any alien life forms because they are waiting for us to get over petty issues such as war and famine and grow up a little. From this to the idea of a "space cable" — a line strong and flexible enough to link the Moon/ satellites to the earth so that payloads can be ferried up and down, originally dreamt up by Isaac Asimov — which is also being worked upon at Nasa, the very idea of science fiction becoming reality is utterly beguiling.Initially worked on by the good people at the Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore, US, there are numerous accounts of other scientists and inventors currently working on its development.Then, in November, came Nasa’s InSight spacecraft touchdown on Mars, unmanned and rendered historic by the fact that the landing was achieved with scientists’ hands off the controls, with no real-time input from Earth. He commented that "Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not; both are equally terrifying".

While the idea has remained intact, the development of the device itself has been gone in two ways, depending on the scientists involved. Clarke, science fiction writer, futurist and inventor who was amongst the giants in his field.In a world beset with war, poverty, the fallout of pollution and climate change, etc, it is a rather beautiful thought that there are, to borrow the title of Daniyal Mueenuddin’s book, in other rooms, other wonders. Thus it is that the handheld medical tricorder portrayed in the Star Trek series — you know, the one used by Dr McCoy to run non-invasively over a patient’s body to diagnose within seconds vital signs, damage, etc — is now almost a reality.Far from our world of war and unease, dizzyingly exciting things are happening
