 [h=3]"Harry Potter" author explores North American magic in new writing[/h] Fans of "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling are in for a treat this week when her digital publisher website Pottermore releases a series of four pieces of writing about wizardry entitled "History of Magic in North America". The writings, posted at 1400 GMT each day from Tuesday to Friday, are meant to set the scene for the highly anticipated "Harry Potter" spin-off movie called "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", which is due for release in November. Tuesday's offering, entitled "Fourteenth Century - Seventeenth Century", takes readers "back through the centuries to reveal the beginnings of the North American magical community and how witches and wizards used magic before they adopted wands," Pottermore said.

 [h=3]Celebrities urge leaders to put girls at heart of anti-poverty drive[/h] By Emma Batha LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Chat show queen Oprah Winfrey, actress Meryl Streep and singer Elton John called on Monday for world leaders to put girls at the heart of anti-poverty efforts as a new index revealed Niger was the toughest country to be a girl. "While the debate around this truth rages everywhere, girls and women living in extreme poverty - those often hit hardest by the injustice of gender inequality - have been left out of the conversation. The fight for gender equity is global." The 80 plus signatories include boxer Muhammad Ali, actors Robert Redford and Colin Farrell, actresses Charlize Theron and Patricia Arquette, Facebook CEO Sheryl Sandberg and U2 singer Bono, co-founder of anti-poverty charity ONE which published the letter.

 [h=3]World Culture Festival: President Mukhejee opts out, mega show wades into troubled Yamuna waters[/h] The Rashtrapati Bhavan confirmed Monday that President Pranab Mukherjee will not attend the World Culture Festival of the Art of Living Foundation in New Delhi later this week. The March 11-13 event, which organisers claim will be attended by 3.5 million people, has stoked a controversy because it is being organised on the floodplains of the Yamuna and there are concerns that it will cause permanent environmental damage. The National Green Tribunal, which has been approached by two persons to stop the event, did not meet Monday because of the Shivratri holiday.

Women may be possessive and selfish but they are also kindhearted and sympathetic to the sufferings of others.
I have noticed the men donate money or give alms only when prompted by their better halves to do so!
Some men may go to the extent of grumbling and cursing undertone "ivaLOda vanthaale rOthanai thaan!" :ohwell:
 
Have you heard the proverb "PeNNin kONal ponnil nimirum!" :rolleyes:

Banks have no power to stop the culprits. They could plea to the court and Govt. nothing more.
All.......... PSU Banks; Govt. have really failed by remaining ........not being alert and letting the culprit just slip through its fingers.
