Senior citizens jeopardised.

Senior citizens have become the easy targets of the cyber crooks. Interstate gangs have become very active in duping them at the drop of a hat. Delhi, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka as well as Bengal.Four were arrested from Asansol and Jharkhand on this Thursday. Although police are keeping a close watch on such crimes yet there seems to be no stopping!

The little one whom I have seen as any other boy pursuing Indian Classical Music later surprised me. I was watching the TV casually. Suddenly I became very alert and found a young man singing Raag Marwa. I never expected such Gayki and tonal quality from an unknown singer. He presented the Alaap in Vilambit. I heard the entire presentation silently.His gayaki, taans , layakiri etc simply hyptonized me. His range of voice too was unthinkable. Immediately my sense said that a New and a Remarkable Artist is born!  Sorry to learn about his  demise at such an early age. RIP.                  

Cock fights with Viagra

Cockfights are still held in rural Andhra.It is mostly held in undivided Guntur, Krishna and two Godavari districts.A viral disease have left many Champion Cocks unfit for the coming occassion of Sankranti. Desperate to expect good performance -the breaders are treating them with Viagra and other steroidlaced food. 

Pirates hijack ship.

A Royal navy channel sent out an urgent message.The message was that five to six unknown personnel with arms had boarded a vessel! The name of the vessel was MV Lila Norfolk and the Royal Navy   UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) was the message sender.  In response P-81 a long-range patrol aircraft was sent from Goa to track the hijacked vessel. It flew and soon made contact from where it came to know that the crew members were safe by taking  refuge in the vessel's citadel or safehouse. Total crew members were 21- six from Philippines and 15 from India.INS Chennai finally intercepted the ship.Using the P-81  aircraft,W-9B Predator drones and helicopters on the board of warship -constant surveillance was kept.A warning was given to the pirates to leave the ship immediately. They waited for sometime. After finding it clear, a Marcos team with sophisticated weapons were sent on rigid -hull inflatable boats. The whole operation took around two hours.

Those who delivers food to your doorstep usually uses around 14 to 20HP bikes. On Tuesday fuel shortage was created by the just ended trucker's strike . Syed Farooq,a delivery man, found himself without the required fuel in his bike's tank. Without any hesitation he immediately rushed to one of his friends who is the owner of a horse. He related his urgency and took his horse. He tied all the foods in the saddle and rode away.In this way he only used one HP instead 14/20Hp to complete his job. People around took his photo: After all one doesn't see a delivery man using a horse for such purpose every day!                                 Author Saibal Kumar Deb

Inner Engineering needs only 7 steps to transform our lives. Some says that those who have gone through IE have felt a 50% reduction in stress. A study found that it could, within 6 weeks, help a person to have a restful sleep. In a study by Rutgers University anUS based Fortune 500 Company found remarkable results in their employees. After going through IE their employees experienced - significant increase in energy level, alertness and joy !

An actor's heart attack!

Image
Actor & director Shreyas Talpade was not at all prepared for such an attack.He was having a busy schedule for last few years. He was quite unaware since he had never been hospitalized and thought himself quite fit. However for last few months he was feeling extreme fatigue.He took it to be normal and kept on working. The 'Housefull 2'actor was doing army training shot like falling into water, swinging on a rope etc. He repeatedly neglected the 'wake up' call.Finally he knew that he was feeling very exhausted. It was very unusual. He had a massive heart attack -the doctor diagnosed when admitted to the hospital!                     .
