Lok Adalat asks man to spend equal time with wife, partner
4 12 2013|
|
|
|
|
|
A
live-in relationship row has been defused in an unusual way where a man
has been ordered to spend 15 days alternately with his wife and woman
partner–both staying under the same roof.
|
|
|
An
order in this regard to help bring peace in the squabbling family hit
by marital discord was pronounced by a Lok Adalat judge.
As per the order issued by Judge Ganga Charan Dube yesterday, the
wife and the live-in partner will live under the same roof and share
space with the man they love for a fortnight each, following a mutual
agreement between them.
The house of the man, who retired recently as a state electricity department employee in Omkareshwar, has three rooms and as per the agreement, he will stay in the middle while remaining two rooms will be occupied by his wife and his woman friend, separately. “The middle room will have an access to both the rooms and the court directed the man to spend a fortnight each with both of them,” said government advocate Ashwini Bhate. As per the agreement, the live-in partner will also have equal share in movable and immovable properties of the man. The row arose after the man’s wife had filed a complaint with Lok Adalat alleging that her husband spends most of the time with his woman friend and that for the last two years she has begun staying with them at their house. |

World War I ‘sacred soil’ ceremony honours Indian soldiers
4 12 2013|
|
|
|
|
|
The
sacrifice made by thousands of Indian soldiers fighting for the British
Army during World War I has been recognised as part of a ceremony in
London.
|
|
|
“Sacred soil” from 70 WWI battlefields in Belgium, which arrived by
warship to the UK, was laid at a memorial garden marking the 100th
anniversary of the war in 2014 in memory of soldiers from around the
world who laid their lives during the Great War.
The soil, collected by British and Belgian schoolchildren and put into 70 sandbags, arrived on the Belgian Navy frigate Louisa Marie and went on a ceremonial procession through London yesterday before reaching its last resting place at Wellington Barracks. More than 1,000 schoolchildren were involved in collecting 70 bags of soil from the battlefields earlier this year. The soil was blessed in a ceremony at the Guards’ Chapel before eight-year-old schoolboy Patrick Casey was given the honour of pouring a crucible of soil taken from all the battlefields into the heart of the garden. Queen Elizabeth II’s husband Prince Philip, 92, was presented with the soil in a ceremony in the Belgian town of Ypres earlier this month, as a mark of remembrance for the tens ofthousands of Commonwealth soldiers who died in the 1914-18 war. Among them were around 1.2 million soldiers from undivided India who fought for the British Empire, of which 74,000 died. British junior defence minister John Astor, who attended the ceremony, said: “They were killed for our freedom, they paid a very high price for that, and we are enjoying the freedom now.” The Guards Museum, which funded the project with help from public donations and corporate sponsors, including a contribution from the government of Flanders, described the 700,000 project as “unprecedented” and “historic”. Designed by Belgian architect Piet Blanckaert,the “Flanders Fields1914-2014″ Memorial Garden is intended as “a symbol of hope and a better future for all”. |

Sujatha Singh meets Bangladesh PM Hasina
4 12 2013|
|
|
|
|
|
Foreign
Secretary Sujatha Singh on Wednesday met Bangladesh Prime Minister
Sheikh Hasina and other top leaders and discussed bilateral relations
amid political turmoil in the country over the January 5 general
elections.
|
|
|
During
the meeting Hasina termed poverty as the common enemy of the region and
underscored the need for working together to eradicate the menace, the
prime minister’s press secretary Abul Kalam Azad told reporters.
Singh later called on the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s chief and former prime minister Khaleda Zia.
Earlier, she held a meeting with Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali. After the meeting with Ali, Singh told reporters that she had a very good discussion. The visit comes amid political turmoil in Bangladesh with former president and Jaitya Party chief Hussain Muhammad Ershad ruling out contesting January 5 elections. This is Singh’s first visit to Bangladesh after becoming Foreign Secretary in August. Her visit comes in the backdrop of Indian government facing stiff opposition in Parliament to introduction of Indo-Bangla Land Boundary Agreement (LBA), an emotive domestic issue for Bangladesh. The LBA envisages transfer of 111 enclaves with a total area of 17,160.63 acres to that country while there will be transfer of 51 enclaves with an area of 7,110.02 acres to India. Singh’s visit will be two days before UN Assistant Secretary Oscar Fernandez-Taranco begins his Bangladesh tour amid a standoff between the Awami League and the BNP over the polls. Violence linked to political unrest since October has claimed over 50 lives. The BNP-led 18 party alliance has organised a series of blockades and strikes to push their demand for postponing the polls. |

RAVI AND SARGUN’S EMOTIONAL MOMENT
4 12 2013
RAQESH PAINTS DOWN SHILPA!
Dancing is not the only talent the contestants of Star Plus Nach Baliye
seem to posses. While everyone has an artist in himself, first time on
television Raqesh showcased his other talent on Nach Baliye. The budding
dancer and who is also a brilliant painter canvased a beautiful
painting for the stunning actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra.
Shilpa Shetty was totally awestruck when Raqesh unveiled a larger than life portrait which he had painted especially for her.
“I
was shocked that after such hectic rehearsals Raqesh took out time for
this surprise and he only took 5 hours to make it. It was a very sweet
gesture and something that has really touched me. I really liked the
painting, it’s something that I will always keep with me” said
an overwhelmed Shilpa. Raqesh later also expressed that his intention
was originally to paint a picture of her with her baby but since he
couldn’t get a clear image he couldn’t paint it. The actress was so
touched with Raqesh’s gesture that she admitted that had he painted her
picture with Viaan, she would have broken down. This came in right after
the couple’s remarkable performance that left the judges awed at the
new found confidence displayed by Raqesh.
Apart from great dancing, catch Raqesh showcase his painting talent on Nach Baliye Season 6 at 9.00 pm only on STAR Plus!

talking about the mercury levels rising on the latest season of STAR Plus’s Nach Baliye. After their breathtaking underwater act which was a first on Indian Television, catch Bruna-Omar sizzle onscreen once more with their latest unapologetic performance of love.
Jokingly
accused by Sajid on getting too bold for television the couple seems to
be undeterred and giving it all to prove their dancing prowess and
chemistry. This week, Bruna donned a completely different Indian avataar and danced to Madhuri’s famous ‘Dhak Dhak Karne Laga’ with the perfect matkaas and jatkaas! Beyond doubt this set the temperature soaring, leaving everyone spellbound for more!
Impressing
the judges yet again, the Brazilian beauty with her Indian beau has
taken the standards to an all new level. Their steaming acts and bold
concepts seems to be really the talk of the town… all we say is bring it

RAVI AND SARGUN’S EMOTIONAL MOMENT
It was a nostalgic moment for Ravi and Sargun when they returned on Nach Baliye. The couple didn’t just come to perform but share an invite to their extended and most beloved Nach Parivaar for their wedding that takes place this weekend at Chandigarh.
The
couple had an emotional outburst when they stepped on to the dance
floor before they tied the knot. They performed on the romantic number Mere Haath Mein
and tried to re-live the moment that was created last year when Ravi
proposed marriage to his longtime girlfriend Sargun. The couple was in
for a complete surprise when the Dholwallas stepped in and on Nach Baliye turned into a mini baraat celebration for them. This is not all the hosts Karan and Gautam made Ravi wear a sehra and Shilpa performed the auspicious aarti of the couple before they get into wedlock. The judges also gifted them an idol of Radh and Krishna for good luck.
Ravi who was speechless after this surprise said, “We
both are extremely close to Nach Baliye. When we participated last year
it was almost like being at home, we would just come to shoot and have
fun. I am very happy to be on this stage and invite everyone who was
part of that moment when we decided to take the step of culminating our
relationship to the marriage. This place has made it happen for us and
it’s always special to be here.”
Catch the soon to be married couple – Ravi and Sargun on Nach Baliye-6 at 9 pm this weekend on STAR Plus!
