Mumbai

Gangster turned MLA Arun Gawli is having tete -a tete with the crime branch after being arrested on charges of extortion. Property documents of over 300 sites across the city were found in his brother's house, the co accused. The Mumbai police which had arrested him twice before but failed to lodge cases against him say this time they have nailed him right. As they say if not first time then definitely the third

In Seventh heaven
Shital Mahajan a Pune based adventure sports enthusiast, was literally in an elevated state when she tied the knot with Vaibhav Rane , a software engineer working in Finland. The wedding was conducted in a hot air balloon, 600 feet above the ground. The couple garlanded each other in the presence of a pujari, who chanted Vedic mantras and the bride's father remained in a basket that dangled from the multi hued balloon. What's interesting is that the basket also contained the ceremonial holy fire which the newly weds circled-- What a wedding !!

The Sporting Week end--

First Football- EPL
Manchester United blew their chances of winning the title before completing their season's engagements when they lost to a deserving Chelsea 1-2 on Saturday. Chelsea needed to win to stay afloat in the race for the championship and they did by winning. With two games to go , both teams are on level with 81 points from 36 matches- If both of them win their final two matches then Manu will be declared winner on superior goal difference through the season- and Manu has to win both the matches- they have a awkward match against West ham United - to whom they have lost three of their last outings with them- So it is going to go down to the wire as to who the winner will be and that is a exciting prospect
Formula 1
Raikonen and Massa finished one two at the Spanish GP- It was smooth sail for the Ferraris this week end-Ferrari's stamped their authority on the track in Sat.'s qualifying races and then confirmed it by winning one two- McLaren's Kovalenin survived a high speed crash - The speed at which he went of the track and hurled himself against the tyre walls was scary to watch- thanks to the safety features in the cars , he was pulled out of the mangled car with car and taken to the medical centre where after checks , he was declared stable- it was a poor race , since there was no one to challenge the dominant Ferraris and Hamilton for a change had a quiet race.
