Mumbai

Will you marry me ? That is what young female medical students from across the country are asking the 39 year old health Minister Dr Anbumani Ramadoss. Not that he is the most eligible bachelor around but because of his ministry's decision to increase the duration of MBBS course from 5.5 years to 6.5 years including one year of rural service

Bangalore

Two Al Badr terrorists went on hunger strike to be moved from the Mysore prison to the Bangalore prison-- Reason : they could not forget the mouth watering food served by ISKON at the Bangalore central prison inmates. ISKON under its Akshya Patra foundation serves rice , buttermilk and sambar to the inmates. Called " Savi oota " ( tasty meal ) the programmes includes lunch and dinner. Finally the session court ordered their transfer-- that is food for thought !

Dr, Baba Adhav
Please search on Google and see what this 78 year old has achieved-- cannot write about that in few lines- he has become the sole hope of hawkers auto drivers , rag pickers and head load workers by forming Panchyats to transform their lives.. Read on …..

Great feeling

Whenever I watch the formula one or GP2 series etc., the most striking part is the presentation ceremony where the national anthem is played for the winners- In most cases you heard the German anthem ( Schumacher ) and the Italian one ( Ferrari ) and so on.. It is rare to see the Indian national anthem being played and heard. It did happen last week end at the China Circuit on the A1 racing .. Narain Karthikeyan did India proud by winning the A1 racing at China-- A1 is a Country team based competition that does its bit of the travel through the world.. Now that Narain does not drive for any Formula one team competitively , he is driving for Team India in these races. Narain raced skilfully and held off the challenge from Jony Reid (last years tour winner from NZ ) -- it was a great sight to see Narain on the podium and hear the Indian National Anthem
