The last figure for the number of beggars in the city was noted as 3 lakh in 2004. Minister of Social justice Chandrakant Handore now feels enough is enough. He is now seeking amendments in the existing rules to curb beggars activities in the city

As the nation goes gaga over MS Dhoni;s long tresses, baldies in his city, Jamshedpur are preparing to teach their hirsute counterparts a lesson or two. Anyone who mocks or passes snide remarks at their mane less pates will be sued. They have launched a ganja Ekta Union ( association for Bald Men's Unity ) to take them on. A bald, er bold move indeed.

It was good week end -- A rotary function on Saturday evening was the right way to relax- we have a musical tambola-- the tambola instead of having numbers had names of movies both hindi and tamil -- a troupe sang the first few lines based on which one needed to identify the movie and if it appeared on the ticket you had, you wer lucky--nice change from calling numbers-- the MC did a great job and kept it going till we had a full house-- then it was music and great food.

Sunday was good too-- Since it was Nagpanchami, my in laws invaded ( ! ) our house and my wife with my mom's help cooked a great lunch after which I had the inevitable Sunday Nap and then woke up to see my favourite Schmui win the German grand prix.
Hope you guys enjoyed a great week end too
