Ways to make your first date a success

So your efforts have paid off and the girl of your dreams has not only noticed you but also agreed to go on a date with you! Good going mate! But remember your first date behaviour is important, as how you behave on your first date will ensure whether you will get a second and a third date with her! So here's how you can go about making your first date, memorable and second-dateworthy!


Be on time: If you have agreed to pick her up, be there on time. She might keep you waiting, but grin and bear, after all it’s a woman’s privilege to keep her guy waiting! But your coming on time will impress her and she will count you as a reliable guy. Also wear a watch, you might have your cell for the time, but wearing a watch and that too a decent brand will say something to her about your personal style and will convey the message of the importance you attach to time. If you are going to her house to pick her up, then your date isn’t a secret, then your punctuality will make an impression on her parents as well, as older people give a lot of importance to such matters.


Be generous with compliments: As soon as she steps out, pay her a compliment. But be warned, do not overdo it or it will ring false. Make it genuine and let it come from the heart. Another point to note, don’t make very obvious comments, try and be a little clever. For eg: Tell her how well she carries herself and how she stands out in the crowd! Genuine compliments delivered with panache will stay in her mind for a long time. Otherwise the your-eyes-are-beautiful kind of compliments will be forgotton, because she’s sure to have heard it before!


Remember her choices: Suppose the two of you go for a long drive and then park for ice-cream, let her stay in the car and you surprise her by getting her favourite flavour. This will not only floor her but will also make you seem like a guy who cared enough to remember. A good cement for further bonding!


Be a good listener: Pay attention to what she is saying. Listen intently, ask the right questions. Don’t interrupt when she is speaking. In short, give undivided attention. Look into her eyes when she is talking, but in a dreamy way, don’t stare, you will scare her! When she is saying something cute, touch her hands lightly and smile. When she says something funny, compliment her sense of humour. You will soon have her eating out of your hands!


Don’t show off: You might be having the cushiest job, or the richest parents or the swankiest car, whatever, but don’t show off. Girls get put off by arrogance and show offs. Be modest. Be courteous. Be chivalrous. These matter far more than all your wealth!


Keep a distance: Don’t get too personal on your first date. Also keep your hands to yourself. Wait to get to know her better. And if you wish to hold her hand ask for permission. If you act too fresh on the first date, chances are you will never see her again!

Cosmic sex soon to be reality.

With US agency NASA and several other countries planning more and more space missions, scientists have started to debate on the possibility of cosmic sex
Though nobody claims to know whether it has already happened, some experts believe that sex in space is inevitable. Jason Kring of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida, who studies the psychological effects of long-duration space missions, is just not ready to accept that astronauts cannot have sexual feelings while on a three-year mission to Mars. "To say that astronauts are some superior beings who cannot have interests in any kind of sexual feelings for three years ... I just don''''t buy it," Live Science quoted him as saying. The report also highlighted the fact that space agencies were gradually inclining towards sending more and more mixed crews of men and women in space, with studies suggesting that they are better at performing the tasks assigned to them. "They''''re mission-oriented. They''''re very focused on the task at hand," said NASA spokesperson Nicole Cloutier-Lemasters of the Johnson Space Center. Kring, however, said that sexual frustration could ensue. "Human sexuality is a basic need and now you''''re trying to tell people, ''''Hey for three years, you can''''t do that.'''' They''''re going to figure out a way to do it," he said. Lawrence Palinkas, a professor of social work, anthropology and preventive medicine at UCLA, pointed out that there was "no official policy" at NASA regarding sex on space missions. "There really has been no research conducted on the area to know whether it (sex in space) would be a good thing or a bad thing, but it probably is inevitable," he said. Science journalist Laura Woodmansee, the writer of ‘Sex in Space’ that was published in 2006, predicts "honeymoons in space and out-of-this-world sex will be a reality within a decade." The book describes several positions that might work during cosmic copulation, ranging from the modified missionary position to seated with "interlocking Y legs". She writes that props also could come into play, including a shared elastic waistband or tethers to hold one partner to a stable structure.

Rajesh Talwar, wearing a white T-shirt and trouser, walked out of jail after 51 days of imprisonment. The dentist's visibly relieved relatives, who had been waiting outside the jail, embraced him and whisked him to a car even as hundreds of media persons surrounded them. The policemen were unable to control the mob of journalists.Rajesh's brother Dinesh Talwar told reporters: “Please give us some time. Rajesh has just come out of jail. He is very depressed. We need your cooperation.”Fourteen-year-old Aarushi was found dead on May 16 in the Talwar's Noida home. The police initially named the Talwars' domestic help Hemraj as the prime suspect, but had to retract after his body was found the next day on the terrace of the house. Rajesh Talwar was arrested on May 23 and police said he killed his daughter in a fit of rage as he objected to her alleged closeness with Hemraj. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday cleared Rajesh Talwar of all charges and named his compounder Krishna and Rajkumar, the servant of close family friends Durranis, as those behind the murders.The CBI said Krishna was the prime accused as he harboured ill-feelings towards the family after being scolded by Rajesh Talwar in public. The agency also said that it has been unable to get any evidence against the Talwars in connection with the murders.Special Magistrate Sapna Mishra Tripathi on Friday discharged Rajesh Talwar after the CBI moved an application under section 169 (release of accused when evidence is insufficient) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). The court set Rajesh Talwar free after he furnished a personal bond and two sureties of Rs.500,000 each.

Clean Chit

हरभजन पर आरोप हटाने का स्वागत

हरभजन लगातार कहते आ रहे थे कि उन्होंने कोई नस्लवादी टिप्पणी नहीं की
हरभजन सिंह पर नस्लवादी टिप्पणी के आरोप हटाने पर भारतीय क्रिकेट कंट्रोल बोर्ड (बीसीसीआई) ने राहत की सांस ली है और फ़ैसले का स्वागत किया है.
बीसीसीआई के अध्यक्ष शरद पवार ने ख़ुशी जताते हुए कहा, " जज ने सही फ़ैसला सुनाया है और बीसीसीआई शुरु से कह रहा था कि हरभजन के ख़िलाफ़ नस्लवादी टिप्पणी का आरोप लगाना बोर्ड को स्वीकार नहीं है."
बीसीसीआई अध्यक्ष शरद पवार ने कहा कि अंतरराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट परिषद के अपील कमिश्नर जॉन हेंसन ने सही फ़ैसला सुनाया है.
जज ने सही फ़ैसला सुनाया है और बीसीसीआई शुरु से कह रहा था कि हरभजन के ख़िलाफ़ नस्लवादी टिप्पणी का आरोप लगाना बोर्ड को स्वीकार नहीं है
शरद पवार, बीसीसीआई अध्यक्ष
बीसीसीआई की ओर से हरभजन की पैरवी के लिए नियुक्त वीआर मनोहर के अनुसार हरभजन के ख़िलाफ़ गाली देने का आरोप लगा और नियमों के अनुसार उन्हें आधी मैच फ़ीस का जुर्माना भरना होगा.
इसके पहले बीसीसीआई के उपाध्यक्ष ललित मोदी ने सुनवाई से पहले मुबंई में कहा था, ''यदि हरभजन के ख़िलाफ़ नस्लवादी टिप्पणी का आरोप वापस नहीं लिया गया तो भारतीय टीम त्रिकोणीय वनडे सिरीज़ से हट सकती है.''
ग़ौरतलब है कि ऑस्ट्रेलियाई खिलाड़ी एंड्रयू साइमंड्स पर कथित नस्लवादी टिप्पणी करने के मामले में हरभजन सिंह पर तीन टेस्ट मैचों के लिए लगा प्रतिबंध हटा लिया गया है लेकिन उन्हें मैच की आधी फ़ीस का जुर्माना भरना होगा.
इस घटना के बाद मैच रेफ़री माइक प्रॉक्टर ने हरभजन पर तीन मैचों का प्रतिबंध लगा दिया था.

'मैदान की बात मैदान पर'
फ़ैसले के बाद भारतीय टीम के मैनेजर चेतन चौहान का कहना था कि मैदान की बातें मैदान में ही छोड़ देनी चाहिए.
मलय नीरव से बातचीत में चेतन चौहान ने कहा कि मैदान के अंदर की बातें तभी बाहर आनी चाहिए जब बात हाथ से निकल जाए और झगड़ा या हाथापाई हो जाए.
मैदान पर थोड़ी टीका टिप्पणी और गर्मागर्मी गंभीर बात नहीं है जब तक कि मामला टकराव तक न पहुँच जाए चेतन चौहान, भारतीय टीम के मैनेजर
कहना था कि मैदान पर थोड़ी टीका टिप्पणी और गर्मागर्मी गंभीर बात नहीं है बशर्ते मामला टकराव तक न पहुँच जाए.
चेतन चौहान का मानना है कि कोई भी खेल अब 'जेंटलमैन गेम' नहीं रह गया है, ज्यादातर सभी खेल पेशेवर हो गए हैं. इन पर खिलाड़ियों की जीविका निर्भर है इसलिए खिलाड़ी तरह तरह के हथकंडे अपनाते हैं.
उसका मानना है कि भारतीय टीम को पिछली बातों को भुला कर अब खेल पर ध्यान देना चाहिए.
'नहीं रहा वो खेल'
पूर्व क्रिकेटर मदनलाल का भी मानना है कि क्रिकेट अब 'जेंटलमैन गेम' नहीं रहा है क्योंकि अब हर टीम किसी भी तरह जीतना चाहती है.
हरभजन पर से पाबंदी हटाने पर खुशी मनाते लोग
मदनलाल का कहना था कि यदि ये मामला नहीं सुलझता तो अंतरराष्ट्रीय खेल परिषद के लिए मुश्किल हो जाती.
उनका मानना था कि ये मामला मैदान पर ही सुलझा लिया जाना चाहिए था.
पूर्व क्रिकेटर सैयद किरमानी का कहना है कि हरभजन पर 50 फ़ीसदी मैच फीस का जुर्माना और ब्रै़ड हॉग को बरी करना, उनकी समझ के परे है.
किरमानी भी मानते हैं कि अब क्रिकेट 'जेंटलमैन गेम' नहीं रहा.
उनका कहना था कि क्रिकेटर जब कचहरी में खड़े नज़र आएँ तो उससे इस बात का अंदाज़ा लगाया जा सकता है.
वो कहते हैं कि विवाद इतना तूल नहीं पकड़ना चाहिए था, ग़लतियाँ किसी से भी हो सकती है, उसको स्वीकार करना चाहिए.

LAST WORD OF MAHATMA GANDHI

क्या थे महात्मा गांधी के अंतिम शब्द!


महात्मा के विचारों को आज भी प्रासंगिक माना जाता है
साठ साल पहले 30 जनवरी, 1948 के ही दिन दिल्ली के बिड़ला भवन में नाथूराम गोडसे महात्मा गाँधी के पैर छूने के लिए

झुका.... और जब उठा तो उसने एक के बाद एक तीन गोलियाँ महात्मा के सीने में दाग़ दीं थीं.
अब तक माना जाता है कि गोली लगने के बाद बापू 'हे राम!' कहते हुए गिरे थे और यह शब्द उनके पास चल रही उनकी पोती आभा ने सुने थे.
लेकिन एक नई पुस्तक 'महात्मा गांधी: ब्रह्मचर्य के प्रयोग' में बापू के अंतिम शब्द ‘हे राम’ पर सवाल उठाया गया है.
पत्रकार दयाशंकर शुक्ल सागर की पुस्तक में दावा किया है कि 30 जनवरी, 1948 को गोली लगने के बाद महात्मा गांधी के मुख से निकलने वाले अंतिम शब्द ‘हे राम’ नहीं थे.
पुस्तक के अनुसार 30 जनवरी, 1948 को जब नाथूराम गोडसे ने महात्मा गांधी को गोली मारी थी तो बापू के सबसे क़रीब उनकी पौत्र वधु मनु गांधी थीं.
उन्होंने बापू के होठों से अंतिम शब्द ‘हे रा...’ सुनाई दिया था इसलिए मान लिया गया कि उनके अंतिम शब्द ‘हे राम’ थे.
नई पुस्तक में कहा गया है कि मनु के दिमाग में ये शब्द इसलिए आए क्योंकि उनके अवचेतन मन में नोआखली में महात्मा गांधी की कही हुई यह बात गूंज रही थी कि '' यदि मैं रोग से मरूँ तो मान लेना कि मै इस पृथ्वी पर दंभी और रावण जैसा राक्षस था. मैं राम नाम रटते हुए जाऊं तो ही मुझे सच्चा ब्रह्मचारी, सच्चा महात्मा मानना.''

अलग-अलग राय

किताब के अनुसार महात्मा गांधी के निजी सचिव प्यारेलाल का भी मानना था कि गांधीजी ने मूर्छित होते समय जो शब्द निकले थे वे 'हे राम' नहीं थे.
उनका कहना था कि महात्मा गांधी के अंतिम शब्द 'राम राम' थे. ये कोई आह्वान नहीं था बल्कि सामान्य नाम स्मरण था.
समाचार एजेंसी भाषा से बातचीत में जानी-मानी गांधीवादी निर्मला देशपांडे ने इस बात से असहमति जताई है.
निर्मला गांधी का कहना था कि उस शाम बापू जब बिड़ला मंदिर में प्रार्थना के लिए जा रहे थे तब उनके दोनों ओर आभा और मनु थीं. आभा बापू की पौत्री और मनु उनकी पौत्रवधु थीं.
निर्मला गांधी का कहना है कि जब बापू को गोली लगी थी तब उनके हाथ आभा और मनु के कंधों पर थे.
गोली लगने के बाद वे आभा की ओर गिरे थे. आभा ने स्पष्ट सुना था कि बापू के मुंह से आख़िरी बार ‘हे राम’ ही निकला था.

MAHATMA GANDHI

आज विसर्जित होंगी बापू की अस्थिया

महात्मा की अस्थियों को एक व्यापारी ने मणिभवन ट्रस्ट को सौंपा था
भारत के राष्ट्रपिता कहे जाने वाले महात्मा गाँधी की अस्थियों का एक कलश बुधवार को उनकी 60वीं पुण्यतिथि पर विसर्जित किया जाएगा.
विसर्जन का काम मुंबई में किया जाएगा. बापू की इन अस्थियों को अरब सागर में प्रवाहित किया जाना है.
महात्मा गांधी की 60 वर्ष पहले 30 जनवरी, 1948 को दिल्ली में हत्या कर दी गई थी जिसके बाद उनकी अस्थियों को देश के अलग-अलग हिस्सों में विसर्जित भी कर दिया गया था.
पर पिछले दिनों एक व्यापारी परिवार ने मुंबई स्थित मणिभवन को एक कलश देते हुए बताया कि इसमें महात्मा गांधी की अस्थियाँ हैं और यह कलश वर्ष 1948 से ही उनके पास रखा हुआ
है.


'विसर्जन ही उचित'

मणिभवन ट्रस्ट की मंशा थी कि इस कलश को लोगों के दर्शन के लिए बापू की एक संग्रहणीय सामग्री के तौर पर सुरक्षित रखा जाए पर बापू के परिजन इससे सहमत नहीं है.
महात्मा गांधी के परिवार की चार पीढ़ियों के सदस्यों का तर्क है कि बापू नहीं चाहते थे कि उनकी अस्थियों को रखा जाए. वो चाहते थे इन्हें विसर्जित कर दिया जाए.
परिवार का कहना है कि धर्म के मुताबिक भी यही सही होगा कि उन्हें विसर्जित कर दें.
पिछले कुछ दिनों से यह अस्थिकलश मणिभवन में लोगों के दर्शन के लिए रखा था. इस दौरान बड़ी तादाद में लोग बापू के अवशेषों को देखने आए.
माना जा रहा है कि यह अस्थिकलश बापू का अंतिम बचा अवशेष होगा.
बुधवार को विसर्जन के दौरान महात्मा गांधी के परिवार के कई सदस्य, राज्य सरकार के कई वरिष्ठ अधिकारी, कई गांधीवादी और आम लोग इकट्ठा हो रहे हैं.

PATNA JUNCTION

मैं कई वर्षों से देख रहा हूँ कि पटना रेलवे स्टेशन पर पागल औरतों की संख्या दिन- प्रतिदिन बढ़ती ही जा रही है. इतने पर ही बात रुक जाती तो कोई बात नहीं थी पर चिंता की बात यह है कि उस पागल औरत के साथ कुछ ऐसा हो रहा है कि कुछ महीनों के बाद उसके गोद में बच्चा दिखने लगता है.
अब उसकी स्थिति बहुत भयावह हो जाता है. वह नवजात शिशु बिना दूध - पानी के कैसे देश का भविष्य बनेगा हम सोच सकते है.
सरकार की योजना गर्भ से ही शुरू हो जाता है. वह योजना इन बच्चों तक कोई पहुँचने में समर्थ नहीं हो पा रहा है. सरकार हो या एन.जी.ओ.
सबसे दीगर बात है कि स्टेशन प्रबंधक, जी.आर.पी., आर. पी. एफ. इन सारे में से किसी को यह बात महत्वपूर्ण नहीं लगती.
प्रेस वालों की भी नजर अब तक इस पर नहीं गई है. जब की उनकी नजर इस पर तुरंत जानी चाहिए. वे नहीं देखेंगे तो शायद उन पर किन्ही की नजर या ध्यान नहीं ही जायेगा. इसलिए मैं प्रेस वाले भाइयों से अनुरोध करूँगा कि वे इनकी खबर सुर्खियों में छापें.

BJP Kisan Morcha

BJP Kisan Morcha to Intensify its Stir against the UPA Govt.



Members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Kisan Morcha at all district headquarters on Wednesday burnt the effigy of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for refusing to provide electricity to Bihar and the UPA government's general discriminatory attitude towards the state.In Patna, a rally was taken out from the party headquarters that turned into a public meeting as it reached Dak Bungalow crossing. Front's state president Satyendra Kushwaha and General Secretary Vijay Kumar Singh addressed the crowd saying the UPA government was intentionally doing dirty politics with Bihar to keep the state in dark forever.Demanding the Prime Minister's resignation, Kushwaha said that the UPA government was against the farmers' interests and until the Center allocates 500 MW of power for agricultural purpose alone and compensates flood victims in Bihar, the agitation would go on.Other demands of the protestors included loans to farmers at 4% APR, linking of Bihar rivers to solve irrigational problems, equitable distribution of fertilizer among the farmers, and a special rehabilitative package for those who suffered serious damages in the last year's flood.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Ladies Front in Patna on Wednesday announced its decision to demonstrate in Delhi on February 21 to demand 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, and the state Assemblies saying the gender ratio currently was way out of proportion in favor of men in the nation's democratic structure.The Front's national president Meera Kawaria said a rally would first be organized at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan after which they would take their demands to the Parliament."Sonia Gandhi had promised to bring more women in the Parliament but in spite of being in power for nearly four years, she is yet to take a single step to keep her words," Kawaria said adding the rally would either give more empowerment to the women or expose the UPA government for what it actually is."The myth that women cannot win elections was shattered in the recently-concluded Assembly polls in Gujarat where 17 out of 22 women candidates won their seats while 4 out of 6 won in Himachal Pradesh," she said.More than 10,000 women from Bihar are expected to participate in the rally in Delhi, BJP leaders said.

Anti-VC Protest Continues; Supporters also Stage Rally

Turning up heat on the state government, a host of students' union in Patna on Wednesday demonstrated throughout the city and burnt the effigy of Patna University Vice Chancellor Dr. Y. C. Simadri to demand for his removal.Dharnas and processions were organized at the Kargil Chowk and the Income Tax roundabout by the members of Students' Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Students' Janata Dal – U, and National Students' Union of India (NSUI) who accused the Vice Chancellor of being incompetent, promoting financial irregularities, and running the university affairs in a dictatorial manner.Demanding his resignation, the protestors also took out a mock funeral of Dr. Simadri.Meanwhile, several students not associated with the above mentioned outfits, took out their own rally in support of the Vice Chancellor who, they said, was trying to restore some sanity in the university which had lost its academic status thanks to the previous government's lackadaisical attitude towards education and ineptness of former Vice Chancellors."For almost two decades, these students have gotten away with crime in the name of education. Cheating in exams became a standard operating procedure under the previous governments, and criminal elements with the backing of a handful of politicians took control of the university functioning while filling the hostels with criminals. Dr. Simadri tried to put an end to all these and that is why he is now facing the wrath of the status quo," said Arif Mohammed, a member of the Dalit Backward Muslim Front and a Simadri sympathizer.
