Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin’s near death experience

It’s not a new sight to watch our youngsters crossing the rail tracks. Though everyone seems to be aware of the risk involved in it, people do it either out of haste or laziness. It is estimated that almost 20000 people get killed in India while crossing the tracks. But now! It seems that our nation would have lost Sachin Tendulkar while doing the act. Sachin recalled his experience while speaking at a function organized by the Mumbai Railway Police- "In school, I had gone to Vile Parle to a friend's place. We practiced in the morning and had gone to his place for lunch. Then we decided to watch a movie. After watching the movie, we got late for practice and hence we decided to cross railway tracks and board the train at Dadar," said Tendulkar recalling his childhood, but something happened after that, which gave him the ultimate shock "While crossing the tracks halfway, we realized that trains were coming fast on all the tracks. We ended up crouching on our knees in between the tracks with our kits. That was a scary experience and then onwards we never crossed train tracks." Probably, that experience proved to be an eye opener for Sachin. He urged the commuters not to risk their lives for the sake of a few minutes "Your family and friends are waiting for you back home and if you reach there five minutes later, it really does not matter! It is important to be there safe and sound, rather than to be in hospital,” said Sachin in an urging voice. Hope that the youngsters would hear him!

Leonardo

Leonardo wins the GLOBE again!

  The TITANIC fame Leonardo has done it again. He has won the Golden Globe award for the third time! Leonardo has won the award as the Best actor in the movie The Revenant. Even as he faced tough competition from nominees such as Will smith and Michael Fassbender, Leonardo did convince the jury to lift the trophy. The movie has moved further, winning the Best Movie and Best Director (Alejandro) segments. Though The Revenant wasn’t released worldwide yet, it was released in a limited manner in the US so as to be eligible for the awards. In the past, Leonardo has won the Golden Globe for his best performance in the movies The Aviator (2005) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2014). The Revenant is a biographical pic about a fur hunter called Hugh Glass who lived in the early days of 18th century. The real life incidents of Hugh Glass has inspired into a novel called ‘The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge’. The novel is now turned into the movie in the news. The survival of Hugh Glass after being severely injured by a bear forms the theme of the movie. India has to wait till 29th January to watch this movie getting released in the country. Grabbing a few awards before the release would certainly favor the openings of the movie. Earlier, the 73rd Golden Globe awards ceremony has started with a grand gala in the Beverly Hills of California. Brie Larson has won the Best Actress for her awesome performance in the psychological thriller ‘Room’. Sylvester Stallone grabbed the Best supporting Actor award. Kate Winslet too seizes the opportunity to win the Best Supporting Actress for her performance in ‘Steve Jobs’.

Child Rapists Laws To Punish

Separate Laws To Punish Child Rapists

Till now, the word child was used to define any person below the age of 18 years. But now for the first time, the Supreme Court seeks to enact different laws for children below 10 years. As the cases of molesting children were on high, the Supreme Court has advised the government to enact strict laws to treat the culprits. The Supreme Court has made such remarks while hearing a petition filed by the Supreme Court Women Lawyers’ Association (SCWLA). The SCWLA filed a PIL in the Supreme Court for imposing “castration as an additional punishment for child sex abusers and child rapists”. While hearing the PIL- the Bench led by Justice Dipak Misra, said Parliament has to separately define the word 'child' in terms of rape. Such a new definition would enable the legal system to treat the child molesters with much harshness. He also wished to know the government’s response over the demand for castration. The demand for castration of child rapists is not a new one. It has come right from the Madras High court, a few months back. Justice N Kirubakaran of the Madras High Court while delivering a judgment has asked the centre to consider castration for the rapists. The growing demand for such a punishment has too many reasons to justify. India has witnessed more than 151% of increase in child rapes over the last five years. In a recent shocker, a 28 day old baby girl was raped in the Bulandshahar district of Uttar Pradesh! Several countries like US, Russia, Indonesia, and Poland were implementing castration to deal with the rapists and warn the rest. So, the debate for such punishment in India, would start soon!

SIDDHARTHA – Most Wanted ISIS Militant

As the year 2016 started with lot of hopes, a fresh video has arrived from ISIS spoiling the spirit of humanity. It contained the speech of a masked person spitting venom against the UK. The video ends with a gruesome execution of 5 people alleged to be spying for UK security services. Though such videos and executions aren’t rare from the dens of ISIS, the man with the gun proved to be shocker! He was identified as Siddhartha Dhar, a Hindu of British origin. The voice of Siddhartha was confirmed by his Sister Konika Dhar who is living in North London. Siddhartha who used to lead a simple life of a salesman has met a Muslim girl called Aisha. He later got converted into Islam to marry her, and changed his name as Abu Rumaysah. Aisha’s family who were hardcore radicals seems to have turned Siddhartha towards ISIS. The British secret service MI5 has gone suspicious over the movements of Siddhartha. It has initially warned him to distance himself from radicalism. As Siddhartha continued with his extremism, he was arrested in September 2014 along with his extremist preacher Anjem Choudary. Siddhartha has slipped out of the country as he was granted a bail, and left for Syria along with his wife. As he reached Syria Siddhartha has immediately joined the ISIS. The ISIS too has welcomed him by entrusting him to carry its brutal legacy. Now! A Siddhartha from India has once turned into Gautama Buddha and this Siddhartha has chosen a different path!!!

A Military Coup In India

Since the publication of an article in the Indian express in 2012, the queries regarding an attempted army coup were left unanswered. The then army chief V.K.Singh was suspected to have ordered two army units to move towards Delhi without the permission of the Defense ministry. V.K.Singh during his tenure has openly conflicted with the government. He even accused of being offered bribe to purchase sub-standard vehicles for the military. V.K.Singh has even knocked the doors of Supreme Court against the government regarding his official birth date. Thus, he became the first military chief to take the Government of India to court. It was thought that V.K.Singh has ordered the troops to march against Delhi either to stage a coup or at least to threaten it. As the government was notified about the suspected movements of army in the night of January 15th 2012, it has immediately taken steps to demobilize them. The incident was hushed up, but the skeletons of truth were often raised for the sake of sensation. Senior congress leader Manish Tewari has once more raised the issue while speaking in a book release function on Thursday.  "At that point of time I used to serve in the standing committee on defense. And it's unfortunate but the story was true. story was correct. I am not getting into an argument. All I am saying is that to the best of my knowledge that story was correct," was his statement! Though the congress party has distanced from his statements, a few did support him. Former minister Mani Shankar Aiyar said that ‘something did happen that night’.  WHAT WAS THAT!
