Woman to give all her fortune for true love

We have, time and again, read fictions and poetry depicting the love stories of rich and the poor. Hundreds of flicks have been made to show richest heir’s love for a poor man who has to do odd jobs to make his both ends meet. Well, if you thought this can only make surrealistic stories to make your eyes brim with tears, you are wrong!

As if in a work of fiction, a young Chinese woman, who owns a villa, a luxury car and has a hefty pay package, is looking for love on the streets of China's Wuhan city, with a banner that reads "a man with a true understanding of life".

When agencies reported this story last week, I was wondering if this was true. I have this general skepticism when it comes to women in particular. But the news agency reported that "rich, beautiful overseas-returnee with a villa, a Benz and an annual salary of 300,000 yuan ($47,100) is seeking a man with a true understanding of life," as saying the banner held by the three bodyguards in a square in Wuhan, Hubei province.

There must some women, very rare, who is ready to give all what they have in return for ‘true love’. "I was born in Wuhan, and I also want to find my husband here," Yezi was quoted as saying. "I don't need him to be rich. I only ask for a better understanding of life."

But now the question that is puzzling me is if there is much of ‘true love’ left over for that Chinese woman to find! 

Sexual assaults against Kolkata women

What is wrong with Kolkata? Psychos are on the loose it seems, looking at the reports of crimes that emanate from the city.  Apart from growing number usual crimes, assault against women is on the rise too.

Three reports of sexual assault against women in a single week make many foreheads frown. First, a speech and hearing impaired teenager was raped by a neighbor, then a Mumbai girl was drugged and raped in a park, and now this daughter-in-law of a former minister was molested.

The accused snatched the victim's phone on Saturday night, but when the gutsy woman caught hold of his hand and protested, he reportedly molested her. 


One of the green police volunteers, on duty in the area, heard the woman's scream and rushed to her aid. He saw the criminal trying to flee on his bicycle and gave him a chase. Within moments, he caught hold of the criminal who was then contemplating which way to flee.

But, women in Salt Lake are a scared lot. They live in fear of an abrupt assault by an instrument of evil in the dark!

Didi, this is high time that you have to save your tribe! 

Even gods here are bribed!

In what looks like an apparent move to save his otherwise crumbling business empire, Indian liquor baron Vijaya Mallya made a huge offering to the God - a carved golden door for the sanctum sanctorum of a temple in his native Karnataka, far south of India.

The business tycoon whose aviation enterprise is on the verge of a breakdown visited the Kukke Subrahmanya temple near Sulya in South Kanara district of Karnataka and donated the golden door of the temple as a part of his Sankalpa.

When reporters asked him, Mallya reportedly said he had visited the temple to pay obeisance before the deity, humbly refusing to comment further. It is rumored that this South Indian Richie rich has plans to offer another pair of gold-plated doors to the temple if his wishes come true.

It may be remembered that another super rich minister and mining baron who gifted a huge golden corn studded with all precious stones worth several crores of rupees years ago is cooling his heels in the dark dungeon in Hyderabad!

Hope God will not take the same revenge this time. After all, the king of all good times, has been supplying liquor unlimited to the alcoholic populace of India!  

Care2 says save India's tigers...

The act-fast, mine-now attitude of India's coal industry could forfeit hundreds of thousands of forest acres--all for a coal supply that hasn't been determined. Making a hasty decision will wipe out endangered tiger habitats and devastate forest communities, which is why the coal industry needs to step back and deliberate.

Stop an impatient coal industry from mining too much, too soon! »

The biggest threat to the world's 1,700 remaining tigers is coal mining, as 35% of these tigers live in the forests that mining projects will destroy. But, the frightening aftermath of mining isn't preventing an overeager coal industry from mining without a plan, and without caution.

India's Prime Minister has the authority to protect endangered tigers, leopards, and elephants from reckless mining. Issuing a moratorium on mining projects until forests are properly assessed will save India's species, rivers, and air quality from falling victim to corrupt mining projects.

Tell India's Prime Minister to halt all new coal block allocations and forest clearances until clear boundaries are agreed upon!»

Thanks for taking action!

Height of abuse! A man insulted to the core!

These are the days of insult and abuses for him. First his personal email was hacked and conversations leaked. Then came abuses, first on phone and then one to one. Now sim cards have been removed from the phones and my handsets confiscated. Keys of both the car and the motorbike have been taken away. Credit card was removed from the wallet and dress items have been kept in a travel bag!

He walked for five kilometres and then vaguely remembered the security pin number of his debit card and managed to draw Rs.500 that was all left over. Caught an auto and reached the office!

He is thinking what to do… Hope someone will help him rent a house and get him located somewhere.  He is in dire needs… He is a living martyr of his own humility! You know him… He is the one whom you love a lot!  He needs your emotional support at least...

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford."

Love and music in the air

Lallaguda, a suburb of Secunderabad, was also known as ‘Little England’ almost a century ago as it was home for the huge Anglo-Indian community lived there. Lying close to Malkajgiri, Lallaguda is covered with railway quarters. It is divided into south and north Lallaguda by the railway track dividing it.

A few years back, nearly hundred Anglo-Indian families lived in the Railway quarters of South Lallaguda along with 10 Parsi families in one lane. Christmas used to be a carnival in this once quaint suburb, which would be decorated with lights and stars throughout Christmas and New Year. Now there are very few Anglo Indians but still there is a lot of love and music in the streets.

However, now over 60% of them have migrated elsewhere in the city and other countries such as England and Australia. The boom in real estate has made this once picturesque suburb into a concrete jungle.

It is completely a Railways area with quarters, workshops, Railway Hospital, schools, Junior and degree colleges, officers’ club, golf course, function halls, handicrafts training center for women etc. It's a very good and peaceful residential area with many facilities provided by the Railways for its employees.
