| Bipasha Basu to do item song for Murder sequel Posted: 22 Mar 2011 02:44 AM PDT
Item songs have become a trend in Bollywood and have become a necessity for every Bollywood film, as the makers believe that the element helps in making the movie popular among the crowd. Actress Bipasha Basu has been recently roped by Pooja Bhatt, who is these days planning to make 'Murder 2'.
The actress has been requested to do a hot and sizzling item song for the sequel of 'Murder'. 'Murder 2' will be featuring actor Emraan Hashmi and Jacquelin Fernandez. The previous movie had Mallika Sherawat opposite Emraan, who had done many intimate scenes together for the movie. The makers of the movie have not yet spoken about the story in the sequel. 'Murder' was based on the story of the Hollywood block buster 'Unfaithful'. Sources from the production have said that the actress has not yet given her nod for the item song, as she has some date problems. But the actress is trying her best to fish out time to shoot for the song. Bipasha has previously worked with the same makers for the movie 'Jism' and 'Raaz', which catapulted the actress to popularity in the industry. The actress since then has been known for her sultry skills on screen. |
| Privilege motion moved against Prime Minister by BJP Posted: 22 Mar 2011 01:12 AM PDT
The WikiLeaks revelation of 'cash for vote scam' had on Tuesday created havoc in the parliament in New Delhi, India. The proceedings in the parliament had to be disrupted after the opposition party, BJP had moved a privilege motion against the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The Privilege motion was moved after the prime minister failed to give a proper or convincing response over the cash for votes controversy. Leader of opposition and BJP leader, Sushma Swaraj had sent a breach of privilege notice to Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar against Manmohan Singh. The Lok Sabha speaker said that she has received the notice and that she would consider it and take due action on the matter. But the opposition broke out and did not like the statement of the speaker that she would consider the matter for discussion. There were two sides in the parliament who were arguing on which topic must be given the priority to be discussed. After the opposition demanded to discuss the cash for vote scam, the Lok Sabha had to be adjourned till 12:30 pm. On this the Parliamentary affairs minister, Pawan Kumar Bansal said that the opposition is trying to mislead the country. WikiLeaks had recently revealed that the government had given money in order to attract support, after the Left had withdrew the support over the Indo-US nuclear deal. |

| Children dropped from height of 15 feet as ritual Posted: 21 Mar 2011 07:52 AM PDT
The Nidoni village in the state of Karnataka in India, has a weird ritual of dropping small children from a height of 15 to 20 feet. Children as young as six months are dropped at the hands of the priest at the Shiva Parvathi temple in the village.
Couples who are blessed with a child after a long time, take a vow, that they would make their child go through this weird ritual as an offering to the God. The priest drops the child from a height and is held in a blanket held below by men. The temple authorities say that cotton and soft material is placed below the blanket as a safety precaution. Till now no reports of any child getting injured have been reported. The ritual takes place annually at the temple and has been practiced since many years. Couples with blind faith, register themselves for Rs. 100, which goes to the temple fund, to get their children dropped. Such a practice to drop children from a height may even lead to neck or spine injuries as they are dropped in the blanket without getting harnessed or protected. Attempts are being made to stop such weird practices in the village and to create awareness about superstitions. |

Sarvatia Devi, is a beggar and still likes to think big. Believe it or not, but the beggar in her early forties has two insurance policies and pays a premium of Rs. 36,000 annually.
Sarvatia is a resident of Patna in the state of Bihar, India and is in the profession of begging since 25 years, after she became a widow. Since then her only aim was to bring up her daughter and save for her marriage. "Everyone at the STD booth at Ashok Janpath, recognize me, as I go everyday to exchange coins for notes. The insurance agents accept only notes as deposites," Sarvatia said. She said that she earned mostly on Tuesdays and Saturdays, when people rush at the temples. On weekdays, she sells vegetables in the morning as well as in the evening. "Begging is no more mandatory for me. But it is easier, as the police do not trouble me," she said. Sarvatia now has a comfortable home and her daughter too is happily married and settled in her own life. She has travelled many places in the country and has even been in many of the pilgrimage places. Moreover, Sarvatia travels free of cost, in the trains and begs till she reaches her destination. |
