Gold and land are the ONLY two things which appear to be

idle but keep gaining in value all the time! :thumb:

 [h=3]Modi calls on Indians to mobilise idle gold, cut imports[/h] By Manoj Kumar NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday exhorted Indians to put thousands of tonnes of gold stacked away in households and temples into productive use, launching three programmes aimed at cutting massive imports of the metal.

  • [h=3]Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro is not possible in today’s atmosphere: Director Kundan Shah[/h] A dark satirical film like Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro or its hilarious climax sequence with a stage-performance of the Mahabharata may not see the light of day in “today’s atmosphere”, claimed the film’s director Kundan Shah. Shah, who received his only national award for the 1983 cult classic, is all set to return it on Thursday in Mumbai along with several others from his fraternity. “A film like Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro may not be sanctioned today because there’s a BJP government in place,” Shah told The Indian Express.

Truly the Children of God (Brahman!) :tsk:

[h=3]Bihar elections: Struggling to survive, too proud to beg, they wish they weren’t Brahmin[/h] From a distance, it looks like a Musahar toli, a slum of the poorest of the poor in Bihar’s regressive caste ladder. Unlike a Mahadalit settlement, however, its thatched roofed shacks are close to the brick-and-cement houses of the affluent. These shacks at Ratansar village, Chhatapur, are home to people one wouldn’t expect to live in a slum. They are Brahmins. Poverty has taken everything away from them — except the attitude of the upper caste.

[h=3]Robin Williams was 'disintegrating' before suicide, widow says[/h] Comedian Robin Williams had been planning to undergo neurological testing the week before he committed suicide last year, and likely only had three years to live, his widow said on Tuesday. In her first interview since Williams hanged himself with a belt at their California home, Susan Williams described how the "Good Morning, Vietnam" Oscar winner was "just disintegrating" physically and mentally in the months before his death. Williams died in August 2014 at age 63 and had been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease three months prior.
