NEWSPAPERS HEADLINESDetails, opinions and analysis of the Union Budget presented yesterday by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, cover the front pages. "Balancing Act" - headlines the Statesman, "Zero risk Budget" writes Mail Today.

Sachin Tendulkar also occupies center stage in the Papers. His magnificent 100th hundred at Mirpur yesterday has congratulatory messages pouring in and his photograph on every front page. "On budget Day, Sachin scores" writes the Economic Times. "Well TON Sachin !" says the Pioneer. However, the Indian Express writes "Tendulkar reaches where no other man has been before but despite Sachin's hundred, India lost to Bangladesh on Friday and now face an uncertain future in the Asia Cup.
Congress defers decision on Railway Minister Dinesh Trivedi - writes the Statesman, putting key ally, Mamta Banerjee's demand for his dismissal on hold.
If there was a clean political winner in the budget, it was Nandan Nilekani, explains the Times of India. The paper adds while he might still have to fight the bureaucracy over his various plans, the signal from the top was clear - that Nilekanis plans will become central to the subsidy schemes and will become the framework for payments under different schemes.
Suffering from chronic joint problems but afraid of replacement surgery? writes the Tribune. Fret not, as scientists claim to have developed an implant, made from sugar-based material which encourages the patients own tough fibrous tissues to form a new kind of joint providing a cushioning barrier between the small bones in the hands and feet.
The Times of India has an inspiring story on page 6. One chilly night in Delhi, Anshu Gupta saw a young girl clinging to a dead body for warmth. The disturbing scene made him quit his job and set up Goonj, an organisation that gathers and distributes over hundred tons of material each month. Gupta says, his work is about providing some dignity to the most deprived.
