There is no search in it.” The Serpent and the Rope is a novel of spiritual searching, but without fulfilment.Nothing that Rao subsequently wrote had the impact of his first two novels, though his longest work, The Chessmaster and His Moves (1988), coincided with his winning the prestigious Neustadt International Prize for Literature Rao refused to compromise over its length or its difficulty Many reviews of the long-awaited book were hostile. Rama’s is a pilgrimage towards what is utterly pure, whether it be in art or in metaphysics, a search for the Holy Grail whereby godliness is distilled into an earthly vessel and the unattainable goal of life is Truth. It marked a return to the metaphysical roots of Indian thought and culture, whilst being at the same time a speculation on the possible shared spirituality in the histories of East and West.The Serpent and the Rope is a patrician novel in manner, but it could also be seen as a precursor of modern feminism in as much as enquiry into the nature of the Feminine Principle is one of its main themes, portrayed not only through the characters of Madeleine, Savithri and Little Mother, but in woman-honouring episodes woven in to the story, such as the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.Autobiographical elements are obvious, for the central figure is an Indian postgraduate student called Rama, studying at Montpellier, married to a Frenchwoman, absorbed by apparent connections between ancient Indian philosophy and European medieval heresies and quests. Apart from Kanthapura he wrote mainly short stories at the start of his career, many of which were brought together in The Cow of the Barricades and Other Stories (1947). They reflect his interest in social matters such as the plight of women in rural India.
However, nothing he had written to date prepared readers for his masterwork, The Serpent and the Rope, which came out in 1960.This took Indian writing in English away from the rural settings not only of his immediate peers but of the newer generation of novelists such as Kamala Markandaya. Kanthapura is a village caught up in the nationalist struggles of the 1930s and in the course of it Rao examines Gandhian thought (though not Gandhi himself) as a continuance of ancient spiritual truths to be found in the Puranas. The tale is told in the voice of a grandmother, Rangamma, through whom Rao seeks to capture some of the manner of traditional oral story-telling.Rao lived a long time, but he was in the first half of his life a slow writer. He was to make up for this in recent years when some of his most complex works appeared, but these were the product of long mental gestation which reached back to his first decades. It is closest in spirit to the village locales of the great Anand and Narayan stories, but already Rao’s philosophical cast of mind predominates. It was an English, however, strongly influenced, at the start of his writing career, by the cadences of his mother tongue.Kanthapura remains one of the key texts in post-colonial literary studies for investigating how forms of English can develop free of some of the accrued associations of British culture. Rao had begun by writing stories in Kannada, but as he became more fully integrated in to a European way of life, for a while studying Irish writers at the Sorbonne, he gradually moved towards expressing himself in English.
There, within a short time, he married a Frenchwoman, Camille Mouly, and started publishing stories in the Paris-based Cahiers du Sud.Though now we can see a figure who occupied borderlands between cultures and histories, exploring links and articulating intellectual connections, especially between Europe and India, this was not so apparent in his first novel, Kanthapura. After matriculating in 1927, Rao returned to Hyderabad, graduating two years later from Nizam’s College. He won the Asiatic Scholarship of the government of Hyderabad and left for the University of Montpellier. It was in Aligarh that Rao first learned French, the language which opened up for him a philosophical domain unknown to Anand and Narayan. His mother died when he was only four, so that his upbringing was mainly in the hands of his schoolmaster father and his spiritually minded paternal grandfather.
His philosophical bent can be traced to these beginnings, but so too may be his delight in the company of young women, since he knew so few in his childhood and youth.Though a Hindu by caste and culture, Rao was educated at a Muslim school in Hyderabad and at the Aligarh Muslim University in North India. His stature was recognised in India by several honours, including the Sahitya Akademi’s highest award in 1997.Raja Rao was born in 1908 (some records say 1909), a Brahmin from Hassan in Karnataka. He was the last of the quartet of writers, the others being Mulk Raj Anand, Nirad Chaudhuri and R.K. Narayan, who made English into a major literary language in the subcontinent. They all lived to great ages, but they were never close to each other.Rao was the most intellectually demanding of the four and there were plenty of people prepared to dismiss him as pretentious, even fraudulent.

LifestyleAbout 54 percent of Americans questioned for an AOL Travel/Zogby International survey said they are on a tighter budget this year than last.”Year over year for the past two years, more Americans feel like they have less money overall to spend on their vacations,” said Beth Caulfield, editor-in-chief of AOL Travel.”A lot of it driven by the economy,” she said.Despite the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, which leaves Americans with more money to spend when they travel abroad, 66 percent said they would pick vacation spots in the United States — unchanged from 2008 when the dollar was weak.”Budgets are less so you would expect more people to stay local, but on the flipside the value of the dollar abroad is higher than it was last year,” she explained.”Ultimately, when you look at those different levers they kind of even themselves out.”Americans are also being proactive to stretch their budgets.
Sixty one percent of the 2093 people who took part in the poll specifically plan to ask travel providers for discounts, while 58 percent said they will consider booking a connecting flight, which means longer travel time, if they can save cash.”(People) are getting savvier about how they make sure that they get the best value for their dollar,” Caulfield said.Perhaps as a sign of the times, only 58 percent plan to use a credit card to pay for expenses — leaving more than 40 percent using cash, Caulfield said.”When you put it on a credit card, it is pretty easy to worry about it later,” she said.”By using cash, Americans are being very sensitive to their wallets and economic environment.”(Reporting by Aarthi Sivaraman; editing by Patricia Reaney) Lifestyle.

A town was awash yesterday as floodwater swept through its market square lifting cars in its path. Chester-le-Street in Co Dur-ham was cut off as cars became stranded in water three feet deep after more than 48 hours of continuous rain.
Cars travelling to the town from the west were turned away by police.
Other motorists who tried to venture in were left stranded after their engines were overcome with water.Martin Wallwork, spokesman for Durham Constabulary said: “It appears the flooding has been caused by the blockage of South Burns stream which runs into the town and on to the River Wear. The water had no- where to go so it just flooded into the market place.”A shopkeeper, Lawrence Steel, said: “Some of the houses near here have been flooded along with a couple of offices. The mechanics next door can’t work either because the garage is completely full of water “. Madonna, material girl, chanteuse, mother and actress was the main attraction last night at the International Premiere of the film musical Evita. The film, which had its first showing last Saturday in Los Angeles, has already been nominated for five Golden Globe Awards, with Madonna receiving a nomination for best actress in a musical, against Glenn Close in 101 Dalmatians and Barbra Streisand in The Mirror has Two Faces.
This is a strong indication that an Oscar nomination is next for Madonna, whose acting skills have always been her weak point. Like the Oscars, the honour of dressing the star of the show is a big one. In LA it was John Galliano’s design which garnered front pages the world over. Last night was cold and chilly and Madonna decided to keep the is-it-real or is-it-fake fur coat on outside while anti-fur demonstrators shouted in the background. They were protesting over the use of fur worn in the film by Madonna. Which, while possibly a worthy cause, is a rather pointless exercise because many of the clothes worn during the film were original pieces from the late 1940s – when wearing fur was fashionable.
Until her untimely death, Eva Peron was always a woman at the height of fashion.
When the coat finally came off inside the cinema, Madonna revealed a subdued light green bias-cut devore velvet dress covered in an ivy pattern, by the Italian designer Gianni Versace, which she wore with matching shoes and handbag – a strange choice for Madonna – who was expected to wear a glittering gown.During the film which is all sung except for about 10 dialogue exchanges, Madonna wears 85 different outfits, 35 hats, 42 hairstyles, and a hundredweight of costume jewellery.. Ministers are to review the appeals system for asylum-seekers and would-be immigrants after a huge rise in the number of outstanding cases. Last night, the Home Office rejected allegations by Labour’s spokesman on immigration and refugees that the criteria for accepting asylum-seekers had been tightened up. Under a 1951 UN convention, anyone with a “well-founded fear of persecution” was granted refugee status, a spokeswoman said.
Neither she nor the court service could explain why the number of outstanding appeals had gone up twentyfold since April 1994, from 1,069 to 20,388, while the numbers applying for asylum had fallen. Rules introduced this year under a new Asylum and Immigration Act have restricted benefits for asylum-seekers and have required employers to make checks on them.Michael Howard, the Home Secretary, announced in a parliamentary answer that he and the Lord Chancellor would look at whether the system allowed adequate rights of appeal and whether it provided good value for money.
They would also consider what impact immigrants’ and asylum-seekers’ rights of appeal had on the operation of immigration control, he said.Doug Henderson, the Labour spokesman, said asylum-seekers often felt the system was unfair. There were 60,000 cases outstanding, and 20,000 were in the appeals system. “It is quite clear that there has been a tightening up by immigration officers on applications and has led to a greater number of appeals The whole process is grinding slowly to a halt. It is the exact opposite of what the Government were trying to do with their new Immigration Act.”Parliamentary questions tabled by Mr Henderson revealed that the number of outstanding appeals had risen by almost 9,000 in 11 months, from 11,000. The budget of the Immigration Appellate Authority had gone up from pounds 6.9m in 1994-95 to pounds 9.9m in the current financial year.Claude Moraes, director of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, said Home Office scepticism about asylum cases had affected the attitudes of adjudicators.”There is a climate of disbelief and a culture of suspicion in the Home Office We see it every day in our case work.
It bore the banner: “Don’t look over your shoulder but the Sex Pistols are coming.” It was a sign of things to come.Things really started happening during that year’s summer heat wave. Malcolm had left Vivienne and moved into a small flat in Bell Street off Lisson Grove with Helen Wellington Lloyd, a South African with whom he had had a brief fling when they were at Goldsmith’s art college. Her flat became the band office, where we spent afternoons sticking bits of paper, photographs and letters together to make the Sex Pistols handbills which were photocopied and distributed in Kensington Market and along the King’s Road.I, meanwhile, had been forced to move out of the comfortable house in Richmond that I had been living in and found myself instead in the stinking rehearsal studio in Denmark Street, which I shared with Steve Jones. We lived on stolen food – baked beans, baked beans and more baked beans – while by night Steve would drop black bombers to stay up all night practising guitar. I discovered that Jones was, among other things, a sex maniac. Once, having locked him out of the flat, I looked up from the bed in which I myself was having sex to see Jones’s desperate face pressed against the studio window.
I was shocked not so much because he was watching as because we were on the first floor.It was at about this time that we became friendly with a professional dominatrix called Linda who lived opposite Scotland Yard We started staying at her luxury pad. It was clean, there were no mice running around as there were in Denmark Street, nor was the toilet outside and permanently clogged. Before he became a Pistol, Rotten’s friend Sid Vicious also liked to stay at Linda’s, and there were also working girls who seemed to enjoy cavorting with budding young rock stars and their tour manager. Over time, most of the walls became covered with graffiti, and all of the delicate furniture was broken.The sexual liberation promised in the Sixties came of age in the Seventies. Pre-Aids, it seemed impolite to refuse the offer of a shag and, not wishing to offend anyone, I did my bit: in toilets, in clubs or on the floor of the studio, in back alleys, with the girlfriends of my best friends and with complete strangers. Everybody seemed to be shagging everybody, particularly Steve Jones.
Yet, despite the fact that Rotten was “the face” and could have had anyone, he didn’t have anybody. The juxtaposition between the asexual Rotten, who was repressed and full of Catholic guilt, and the nob on legs, Steve Jones, who would literally bang anything, contributed a great deal to the group’s bizarre character. Rotten’s most passionate song, “Bodies”, is a testament to his attitude towards sex at that time.And then there was speed, lots of speed. The poor man’s cocaine kept us going as well as thin, because if you weren’t thin you didn’t have a prayer. Unfortunately, the police found some sulphate on Rotten that summer while we were walking through Soho and he was carted off to the local nick, booked and subsequently fined.Malcolm, appropriately, set up a gig at Chelmsford prison. We were quite wary when we drove into the prison compound: there was always the possibility that we wouldn’t get out. Once on stage, however, the group didn’t tone down their performance one bit.
Rotten ridiculed the cons for getting caught and cast aspersions on their sexuality It became very tense. But gradually an understanding developed between the group, who would soon become public enemy number one, and their captive audience. They started to laugh, taunt and heckle each other in a good-humoured way, each faction enjoying taking its frustrations out on the other.By the end of the summer we had been dubbed “punks”, which inspired Ron Watts, manager of the 100 Club, to put on a Punk Festival, which was to run over two nights. There weren’t enough punk groups to fill a two-day bill, so Siouxsie was encouraged to form a band for the first night, which the Sex Pistols were headlining.
Sid Vicious was enrolled as drummer, Steve Severin played bass and Marco Pirroni was on guitar. The following evening the Clash headlined, supported by the Damned and Chris Spedding. Sid was arrested for, allegedly, throwing a glass which shattered and blinded a young girl in one eye.

There were no medals for Britain here yesterday but there were contrasting fortunes for Sue Rolph and James Hickman. Both had a final and a semi-final last night and both are experiencing the pressures of medal contenders in the long build-up to Sydney. There were no medals for Britain here yesterday but there were contrasting fortunes for Sue Rolph and James Hickman.
Both had a final and a semi-final last night and both are experiencing the pressures of medal contenders in the long build-up to Sydney.
Hickman took the view that this was all part of his high-quality preparations and set a blistering pace in the semi-final of his favourite event, the 200m butterfly. Rolph came here talking up her chances of defending the 100m freestyle title and was totally outclassed. Hickman has his effervescence of old back, but Rolph’s sparkle is well and truly flat.Rolph became the first British winner for nearly 40 years in the 100m freestyle in Istanbul last year, but the frailty of her Olympic challenge was brutally exposed yesterday by a performance of the highest quality from Sweden’s Therese Alshammar. At the halfway stage the Swede was under world-record pace, but finished just shy of the mark in 54.41sec. Slovakia’s world silver medallist, Martina Moravcova, was second in 54.45sec as Rolph struggled to seventh.Half-an-hour earlier, Rolph secured a place in today’s final of the 200m individual medley, an event in which she has no chance of a medal in Sydney.
Rolph’s coach, Ian Oliver, would only concede that perhaps this was a mistake; a view which, frankly, is a gross understatement. That she has not fully prepared and chose to swim the earlier event shows either a dreadful naïveté or that she is fast losing the psychological edge over her rivals that she needs to win an Olympic medal. Both are equally worrying.Hickman, in contrast, was under world-record pace at the halfway stage to ensure his place in today’s final of the 200m butterfly “It’s all good training and I pushed myself to the limit. It’s got to be good for you, although it doesn’t feel like it at the moment,” Hickman said, shortly after fading to an unsurprising last place in the medley final.Karen Pickering swam her best time for six years to finish fourth in the 100m freestyle and is confident of doing the same in her preferred event, the 200m freestyle, which starts tomorrow.Alex Popov triumphed for a record fifth time at these European Championships to set himself up for an unprecedented third straight Olympic title in the 100m freestyle.
There was no world record this time from Popov, but the masterclass he gave here was in how to win the mind game in Olympic year. He will go to Sydney as the world-record holder, world No 1 and will have instilled in the collective consciousness of world swimming that he will win gold Here endeth the lesson..

Just think of it. His stake in Lloyds is worth pounds 38.4m at the current price.Richard Turner, Lloyds’ commercial director, is to receive a severance payment of pounds 571,000 and is sitting on option profits of pounds 702,000. MAGNUS GRIMOND
Directors of Lloyds Chemists are set to receive pay-offs totalling pounds 4.4m following last week’s agreed pounds 550m bid from UniChem.
The four executive members of the board also stand to make a combined profit of pounds 1.92m from options over Lloyds shares at last night’s price of 421p, down 5p on the day.
Allen Lloyd, chairman, will receive pounds 1.6m under a severance settlement well in excess of the minimum laid down by his two-year service contract He is currently paid pounds 510,000 a year. Michael Ward, managing director, picks up a pounds 527,000 pay-off, has options showing a surplus of pounds 120,000 and has been granted a new contract with UniChem at his old rate of pounds 200,000 a year, plus a bonus of pounds 177,000.Martyn Hardy, who is also being kept on within UniChem at his former salary of pounds 100,000 a year, collects pounds 241,500 and has options showing a profit of pounds 68,000.Jonathan Fellows, finance director, has agreed a consultancy with UniChem worth pounds 77,000 a year, while Mr Turner has agreed a similar two-year deal worth pounds 168,000 in the first year..

In the following month Gray directed the transfer of pounds 3m of stock held in a “depot” account in New York, on behalf of another client, to a third party in New York.. Panmure immediately informed the SFA and the police.Gray, of Clapham, south London, was convicted last October of theft, false accounting and handling stolen goods. Panmure is still trying to recover money from accounts in Denmark, the Netherlands and Austria.The SFA said that in January 1994 Mr Gray directed that around pounds 55,000 held by Panmure on behalf of a client should be transferred to a Luxembourg account. Last October Mr Gray was jailed for six years after being convicted of stealing more than pounds 3m.
Gray, 27, laundered shares owned by his father and the British Heart Foundation. He did this while working as an assistant to a director in Panmure’s private client stockbroking department.Panmure discovered the frauds in the spring of 1994, seven years after Gray joined the firm. JOHN WILLCOCK

Panmure Gordon, the stockbroker, has been fined pounds 50,000 plus costs of pounds 10,000 and severely reprimanded by the Securities and Futures Authority (SFA) over a pounds 3m fraud by a former employee.The SFA yesterday criticised Panmure for “inadequate protection of clients’ assets, for failure in its control of its internal affairs and for failing to adequately train and properly supervise its staff.”The City regulator also banned the fraudster concerned, Jeremy Gray, from further investment business and ordered him to pay costs of pounds 4,000. A spokeswoman said that Peter Sanguinetti, the director for corporate affairs, would continue in his role and report to Mr Whybrew.Mr Hampton, who is highly regarded by City analysts, receives a pounds 70,000 golden hello in addition to his pounds 295,000 salary. The up-front payment is to compensate him for loss of share options at British Steel, where his package of pay and bonus was almost pounds 290,000.Mr Whybrew’s salary is pounds 275,000 and, as with Mr Hampton and other British Gas directors, he receives neither bonuses nor share options.. At the same time, he will be in charge of the gas supply business at a time when the domestic market is being opened up to competition from rivals, including offshore companies and electricity firms.British Gas also confirmed that John Whybrew would join the board from Shell, in the newly created role of director for strategic planning and corporate affairs.

British Gas concluded a round of sweeping boardroom changes with the appointment as group finance director of Philip Hampton, the 42-year-old finance director of British Steel. Mr Hampton succeeds Roy Gardner, who has taken on a much wider brief and is increasingly regarded as the eventual replacement for the chief executive, Cedric Brown, now seen as the last of the old guard.Mr Gardner, who joined from GEC in late 1994, takes on the formidable responsibility of renegotiating long-term contracts with North Sea producers, which are forcing the company to buy much more gas than it can sell, often at prices above those available in the market today. The payout followed Scantronic’s takeover last November by Menvier Swain.Together with the cost of closing Scantronics’s headquarters, the pay- off has caused a pounds 1m exceptional charge that will wipe out any profits made in the second half to April.Mr Brookes had been on a five-year contract until Scantronic’s board negotiated it down to three years shortly before the pounds 10.5m takeover.He was on a salary of pounds 210,000 plus pension contributions at 15 per cent of salary, at a time when Scantronic had fallen heavily into loss.Menvier said it will also be writing down the value of Scantronic stock on its balance sheet by pounds 4m in the second half.Mr Brookes’ payout was not the only one to hit Menvier Swain.Just before Christmas the firm also paid a sum believed to be pounds 250,000 to settle a lawsuit with the former finance director Ray Dias.Mr Dias left the company after pressure from institutions when Scantronic hit trading problems amid mounting debt in July 1994.. Ian Martin, who left the company to become chairman of Unigate, was paid pounds 557,458.David Nash was paid pounds 790,000, the company confirmed yesterday, when he lost out to John McGrath in the battle for the position of chief executive.At the other end of the pay scale, the company last month paid pounds 106,000 in compenstion to 900 of its Burger King staff who were told to clock off on unpaid breaks whenever the outlets were quiet.Meanwhile, Scantronic, the security alarms firm, revealed yesterday a pounds 780,000 payout to former chief executive Chris Brookes hit profits.

With Worcestershire already 146 runs ahead on the first innings, Graeme Hick was dropped by Alan Wells at slip when he had made nine. By the close Hick was 56 not outThe innings was studded with high quality shots, including a six which dislodged a tile from the Pavilion roof, and rattled the bowler, Ealham, who is expecting the chop today when England announce the squad for the Fifth Test next week. Leatherdale’s first over broke a substantial partnership between Graham Cowdrey and Mark Ealham.Cowdrey miscued a pull and Tim Curtis took a good catch at backward square- leg Then it was Moody’s turn. He was presented with a simple catch off his bowling by Ealham, although by then the England all-rounder had reached his half century off 45 balls.Kent collapsed, Leatherdale picked up a couple more for a return of 3 for 25, and careered headlong towards the follow-on until Dean Headley, Marsh and Thompson did their stuff.
Such resistance to giving a youth a fling, said not to be in the best interests of English cricket generally, was probably not in the best interests of Essex, either.. There had been the prospect of this match meandering to the foregone conclusion of an aimless draw after Tom Moody elected to bat on yesterday. Mercifully, Worcestershire mustered only 13 more runs, while Kent hustled another bowling point as they whipped out the remaining three batsmen, including David Leatherdale for 129, in the space of 20 balls. Kent then obliged, initially, by struggling against a Worcestershire attack shorn of Alamgir Sheriyah and Stuart Lampitt through illness and injury respectively, then by allowing themselves to be rolled over to the point where they were in danger of following on. It needed some careful nursing by their doctor, Julian “Tail End” Thompson, and a watchful innings from captain Steve Marsh for them to avoid that humiliation.
Thompson’s solitary boundary took them to their target figure, 273, before, three runs later, last man Alan Igglesden was bowled byChampionship debutant Maneer Mirza, brother of the late Parvaz. He ended with 2 for 56, commendable figures but outdone by Leatherdale. It was an inspired double change which saw Moody bring on himself from the New Road End and Leatherdale from the Diglis End.
The 18-year-old debutant Jonathan Powell, another off-spinner, waited 49 overs of the day for his turn. This was 100 for 4 and Essex scented an opportunity.But Sutcliffe began to flourish. Partnered in the afternoon by Neil Johnson, who was put down at the wicket when he was three and the total was 107 (he went on to 91, by which time the score was 303), Sutcliffe increased and reduced the tempo as the occasion demanded.Essex, needing to win to sustain their immediate challenge for their first title in five years, were perhaps not as adventurous as they could be. He accounted for James Whitaker before lunch, too, the Leicestershire captain being confined to his crease and late on the stroke as the ball sneaked through.
In all he bowled 48 overs in the day, and if the pitch did not fizz as he might have desired, he ran through an impressively patient repertoire.Eventually, he persuaded Pierson to flick – rather casually after such stout resistance – to short leg. Sutcliffe was scarcely less becalmed, but he was willing, if the ball was indifferent enough, to deliver an appropriate handsome riposte as he demonstrated with a pulled six off Ashley Cowan.The batsmen’s main adversary was Peter Such, who took the ball at the scoreboard end at the start of the day and did not release it until way after lunch. It took 206 balls and if it seemed longer that was to his immense credit.At the end of the proceedings they were still 68 runs short of making Essex bat again, but they had not wilted. Sutcliffe began the day with Adrian Pierson, who did what nightwatchmen are supposed to do and frustrated Essex to distraction He played no shot worthy of the name, he just batted. There were nine successive maidens at one point, but there was never much doubt that Iain Sutcliffe would complete his second century of the season. Yesterday, it was predicted that they were staring down at least one barrel with the Colchester pitch likely to turn late in the match But Leicestershire know they are hard to beat.
