punctuation HENCE

1)As we approach the centenary of Dadasaheb Phalke's 1913 silent
film, it is only natural that many actors
 who had played their part have departed from the scene. Of late, even
those with whom my post-independent
 India generation grew up have begun to leave us, the latest being the
universally recognised first super-
  star of Hindi-cinema, Rajesh Khanna. Super star created by their
times. Films that give expression
  to these times are product of a wide range of creative talents that
go into making a superhit.
  As times change, superstars fade away. A new generation creates its
own superstars.
        In this context recollect what the inimitatble Johnny walker
has once said when asked how he
 reconciled to being a 'nobody' later in life having ruled the
cinematic roost at one time.
 He said the Tenzing Norgay once climbed Mount Everest and stood at
the top of the world. He could not
 have continued to live there. Hence, he came down. the same is true
for everybody. Alas, this truth is
 seldom gracefully accepted by superstars.(source-Hindustan Times

(2)As the latest salvo in his cleansing agenda, and in the run-up to
the proposed indefinite fast of India
  Against Corruption from july 25, Mr kejriwal was in Jodhpur. While
there, he demanded the Pranab Mukherjee, the
  congress's presidential nominee, must be throughly probed regarding
graft allegations pertaining to a 2002
  Ghana rice export scam and the Scorpene submarine deal. Mr kejriwal
apparently feared that once elected
 to the August office, Mr Mukharjee would enjoy immunity from any
proceedings. Hence, his preemptive prescription.
