London,-Actress Kate Beckinsale says she was
heartbroken when the film company which made her last movie
'Nothing But The Truth' went broke, meaning the movie will not
be released.
Worked with director Rod Lurie on the
thriller and said she was very proud of her performance,
reported Contactmusic.
"To be honest, I was a little bit heartbroken after doing
that movie. I was really pleased with it and proud of it, I
was nominated for a Critics' Choice award for it, and the next
day the film company went bankrupt and the movie never came
out. I just felt really bruised by that and thought, I want to
take a second," Beckinsale.
Sensitisation of students necessary to end
ragging : academics
Ranchi,-Only two out of 100 students in an
educational institution indulge in violent ragging and in most
cases their behaviour is linked to poor academic performance
and resultant frustration, according to academicians.
Exploring reasons behind such behaviour in the wake of
recent filing of FIRs against two seniors of the prestigious
Sainik School in Koderma district, Ranchi University’s Pro
Vice-Chancellor V P Sharan said the students' unfriendly and
brutal behaviour reflects their social and family backgrounds.
"They generally spring from lack of love and kindness and
also a culture of showing disrespect to elders," Sharan said
and advised 'sensitisation' of such pupils by the authorities
of the institution concerned.
The Director of Ranchi Institute of Neuro-Psychiatry
Allied Sciences, Amul K Singh, said ragging more often leaves
victims with mental scars, which at the slightest provocation
tend to manifest itself in violent behaviour.
He felt that stringent measures were required to control
the menace
Sharan suggested a revamp of anti-ragging squads in
educational institutions with senior students and one or two
teachers forming the squad.
"Heavy fines should be imposed on wrong-doers and bar
them from appearing in examinations, which will also motivate
guardians to try to reform their wards," he said regretting
how an otherwise innocuous practice of introduction of seniors
to freshers in a novel way has been distorted.
The menace has plumbed to such a depth that even Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh had to ask for 'zero tolerance' of the
practice at the October 30 Governors Conference in New Delhi.
