By Thejaswi Udupa How similar are the musical trajectories of David Bowie and Prince? At first glance, not so much. But look again. You have heard everyone say this. 2016 has been a horrible year for celebrities. They are dying at a faster clip than ever before. There have even been articles trying to convince you that there is steadfast logic behind all this. Here’s looking at you,  BBC . Despite all that rationalising, it is hard to come to terms with some deaths. Especially when you were not expecting them. And two of the most prominent deaths in recent times from the world of music fall into this category — David Bowie, and Prince (or the artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.) Over the past few years, I have figured out a way of dealing with the death of a favourite musician. Armed with Wikipedia and YouTube, I listen to every song the artist put out, in chronological order. It makes a lot of sense. Given my creative constraints — my ability to draw is “

By Shijith Kunhitty Here's an analytical look at the men who decide football games with mere whistles and gesticulations. Euro 2016 is coming up in a few days, and there’s no shortage of coverage about players, tactics, managers etc. ( The Guardian’s Euro 2016 section  is particularly good). But one thing a lot of the articles will be missing is a look at the one person with the most influence on the outcome — the referee. The thing about refereeing is that it’s one of the most high-profile but completely thankless jobs around. If you do everything right, no one ever takes notice, but make one mistake in a crucial match and the whole world is on your case. So refereeing is a high-pressure role that not everyone can handle.  The 18  who will be going to the Euros are some of the best referees Europe has to offer. One of them, for example — Mark Clattenburg — had the privilege of officiating the FA cup final and the Champions League final in the span of a week. (Yup, he was the

1. World Bank cuts global growth forecast to 2.4 % i. The World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim has slashed the global growth forecast of 2016 by 0.5 % to 2.4 %.  ii. According to WB group, the world economy will grow at 2.4% in 2016 and at 2.8% in 2017. The cut in the forecast was due to advanced economies experiencing mediocre growth, while low commodity prices, weak global trade, and stilted capital flows also impacted. iii. However, India will remain one of the fastest growing major economies, ahead of China, for the next three years, the report said. But it lowered India’s growth projections marginally by 0.2% to 7.6% for 2016-17 and 7.7% in 2017-18, citing the drag by exports on economic activity. 2. India ranked 141 on Global Peace Index i. India has been ranked 141 on the 2016 Global Peace Index, falling behind countries like Burundi, and Serbia on the 163-country list.  ii. India was ranked 143 on last year's list. Prepared by the Institute for Economics and Peace

By Divya Sridharan Children in India are not so much brought up as used as projection screens for their parents' aspirations for them. And that sort of thing takes its toll. Our children are killing themselves. And it’s our fault. So all the Board and Entrance examination results are out. Amazingly, many young men and women have achieved “cent per cent” scores. Unbelievable really. How can you score 100/100 in languages, or in English? Is that a reflection on how much of learning is by rote now. And how little value there is for original thinking. These are troubling questions that we don’t ask ourselves. Meanwhile, victorious students have been proclaimed the heroes and heroines of the hour. Ecstatic parents have been portrayed kissing their beaming, brilliant children. Full-page all-colour advertisements (from the many tutorial sweatshops that dot this scholarship-hungry nation of ours) have hailed the toppers. Interviews have been conducted, reports have been written, of th
