I remember how Sridevi got the award while everyone was expecting
Kamal Haasan to bag the best actor award in Moondraam piRai!

 [h=3]I don't pick films on the basis of actress' role: Madhavan[/h] New Delhi, May 28 (IANS) R. Madhavan says he is often questioned about his female co-stars walking away with awards instead of him, but the actor is not bothered about it. This year, Kangana Ranaut clinched the National Film Award in the Best Actress category for her superlative dual act in "Tanu Weds Manu Returns", and martial artist-turned-actress Ritika Singh won the National Award in the Special Mention category for the "gutsy performance" of a boxer in "Irudhi Suttru" ("Saala Khadoos"). Madhavan was the male protagonist in both the films.

 [h=3]Two held in Mumbai for ‘insulting Goddess Kali’ on Facebook[/h] Days after some fringe organisations in Bhopal warned of a backlash if people behind an allegedly offensive social media post on goddess Kali were not arrested, the Bhopal police, in a joint operation with the Mumbai police, took two Muslim youths from Maharashtra’s Antop Hill into custody and brought them to Madhya Pradesh. On May 10, several activists in Bhopal had approached the police demanding action against people who, they alleged, had liked an offensive post against goddess Kali on a Facebook group called Naadan Parinday. SP (north) Bhopal Arvind Saxena told The Indian Express that Ali Shaikh, who works as a bodyguard, and Abdul Qureshi, who runs an electronics shop, were arrested from Antop Hill and brought to Bhopal three days ago in connection with the case.

No-helmet no fuel ......appears to be a good rule to implement helmet wearing.

The guy in the photo will need a very voluminous helmet -

considering the luscious growth on his scalp! :rolleyes:

NOTHING - I repeat - NOTHING can make people obey rules

unless they themselves wish to obey the rules.

I have seen helmet being carried on every hook in a scooter/ motorbike

except the head of the rider- its rightful place.

Even those who invert this 'kapparai' on their dome do not fasten the belt or clip it in.

The two ends of the tape will be hanging free on the two sides of the face and

I bet it will be this loose helmet which is sure to crack the skull - in case of a nasty fall! :(
 
I used to imagine that a child was standing in the front portion of the scooter
watching out for people, in the semi darkness during the morning walks.

Later I found out that it was just the helmet perched on
the rear view mirror of the scooter that had deluded me!

I have always wondered why a sofa set is a must, even in a tiny nostril-sized-flat??? :noidea:
I myself have only fold-able furniture since I had to vacate the living room
everyday in order to conduct the dance class and music class!

[h=3]Ditch heavy furniture, go for poufs and stools![/h] New Delhi, May 28 (IANS) Vibrant coloured poufs and stools create space in your otherwise cluttered homes. Rather than investing in expensive armchairs and pulling out some unattractive folding metal seats, add light furniture to your pad. Poufs and stools add a touch of character to your bedroom, living room or playroom design with their availability in a variety of styles, colours and patterns, says Ashish Gupta, director of InLiving- a furniture retailing website and store.

Why do people go for 2000 sq ft flat/ house even in the cosmopolitan cities!!!

Simple, so that they can collect eight truck loads of the very valuable and fragrant junk!!!

 [h=3]The stench at West Mulund[/h] On May 16, from a house where they had lived in for at least 13 years in Mumbai’s suburb Mulund West’s Guide Society, officials took out eight truckloads of waste and an 86-year-old woman lying unconscious on plastic bottles. The 86-year-old mother, Maniben Savla, is the only one to have left, and doctors at the civic-run hospital say she will recover. The Guide Society house, as the one in Dedhia Niwas, has no light bulb, though working fans.
