"It was not love at first sight for them but it lasted till the cricket legend passed away yesterday. It all started in 1965 when leading Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore met the sauve captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi at a common friend’s party.
But it was not easy for Tiger to win his lady love’s heart so he gifted her a refrigerator to win her heart.
But finally it was roses that did the trick. ”She batted for four years,” Pataudi declared in several interviews later."
Delhi blast: Lawyer's robe would have saved student's life - The Times of India:
NEW DELHI: In his haste to reach the high court on Wednesday morning, law student Amanpreet Singh Jolly, 21, left his black robe behind. The mistake caught him his life, as security guards made him queue up for an entry pass among the litigants outside gate no. 5, minutes before the bomb went off.
Aman, a law student at Ghaziabad's INE College, was interning under lawyer SP Yadav at the high court. "Aman was an extremely bright boy. He had been doing quite well at college and did not have to go to court everyday. It was sheer chance that he went to the court on Wednesday, and without his robe at that. Had he remembered to take it, he would have directly walked inside," said his uncle Rana.
Aman's father, cousins and several uncles stood outside RML Hospital's operating theatre for several hours before his father Manmohan Singh was called inside to identify his body. Shortly before this, they had experienced relief for a few minutes on not finding his body in the common area on the ground floor, where other bodies were kept for identification. But when Manmohan identified his son's body inside the OT, the family members were immersed in grief. Aman's father is a builder and they lived in a joint family on Jail Road in Janakpuri. He was the second of three brothers.
"We received a call from the hospital saying that he was injured, so obviously he died in the hospital. His condition was reported quite critical. Aman's parents are in a bad shape and his mother, especially, has not stopped crying. She keeps breaking down every few minutes," said his uncle Gurmeet.
Amar Singh who was accused of cash-for-vote scam has been arrested and sent to Tihar jail. I wonder how such a powerful who had such strong connection with top notch personalities from the Bollywood industry and industrialists can face such a turn in his political journey. Check out some rare pics of the politician and how he has lived his life over the years..
NEW DELHI: A strong tremor lasting 5-6 seconds shook the capital at 11.28pm on Wednesday, forcing residents to run out of their houses in various parts of the city. The Met department said the quake measured 4.2 on the Richter scale and its epicenter was Sonipat in Haryana.
There were no reports of damage to life and property in NCR, neither did national or global monitoring agencies immediately report any major earthquake in the region.
"At first I heard a muffled sound - like a subdued explosion - and then felt the quake for many seconds," said Gulshan Luthra of Gurgaon. "All the furniture in my house started shaking just as we finished dinner," said Vinod Kapoor , a resident of east Delhi.
People working late hours, including in call centres, reported a strong jolt which even knocked out the electricity for a while. As the news broke on TV and the internet, anxious calls and tweets began pouring in from other cities.
The tremors were felt across north India, including Kashmir and Uttarakhand.

New Delhi:Anna Hazare is under arrest and has been produced before a magistrate. The police action foiled his plan to fast at Delhi's Jai Prakash Narain Park, but the 74-year-old has not eaten or even had water since early morning.
Mr Hazare's "preventive arrest" came after three hours of his being under "preventive detention." The Opposition has slammed the government, saying it is Emergency again. The government says there is nothing illegal about it, but in a very high-level huddle, senior ministers Pranab Mukherjee and P Chidambaram met Rahul Gandhi a little after noon on Tuesday.
At 7.30 am on Tuesday morning, minutes before Mr Hazare was to set out for his fast against corruption, about a dozen policemen in plain clothes detained him at Supreme Enclave in Delhi's Mayur Vihar, where he was staying. They tried to whisk him away in a white Innova car, but hundreds of angry protesters ensured that the car could barely move for over an hour.
Mr Hazare, with several of his key aides who are now also under arrest, was taken to the Delhi Police Mess near Oberoi Maiden in north Delhi and was produced before a special executive magistrate there.
Under attack from all quarters, the government has justified the police action on Anna. Union Home Secretary RK Singh said he was detained because he said he would defy prohibitory orders. Senior Minister Ambika Soni said the arrest was not unconstitutional and that Mr Hazare could have waited till Parliament was not in session to protest.
Parliament opened to chaos on Tuesday. The BJP gave a notice for suspension of Question Hour to discuss the Anna Hazare issue. The government said it was ready for a discussion after Question Hour, at noon. There is no meeting ground - the Rajya Sabha was adjourned till noon, the Lok Sabha at first till 11.30 am and then till noon. Home Minister P Chidambaram has offered to make a statement in Parliament. The Opposition says it will settle for nothing less than a statement from the Prime Minister.
Anticipating arrest, Anna had recorded an appeal to people to come forward for what he called the "second freedom struggle" in peaceful protest and said a second line of leaders would continue to lead the movement. But on Tuesday morning, this second line and core members of Team Anna - Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Kiran Bedi- were detained too and taken to the police mess. Eminent lawyer Shanti Bhushan was detained at Rajghat.
A third line of crusading leaders went underground to gather support using mobile phones and social media and surfaced a little before noon to decry Mr Hazare's arrest and to exhort people to come out in large numbers in protest. In Mumbai supporters in big numbers are courting arrest, in Bangalore, they are lining up to join the India Against Corruption movement. There is massive support in Kolkata too. In Chennai, Mahatama Gandhi's personal secretary Kalyanam is among about 300 people on hunger strike; 30 people have courted arrest. There are protests in Lucknow too.
In the capital, the supporters that followed Anna's car as he was being taken away vowed they would move to Rajghat, where Anna was to have gone before setting out for JP Park where he planned to fast. Sources say about 3,000 Delhi University students are expected to assemble at Rajghat too. As they heard of the detention, many office-goers said they were not attending work and would join the protest.
Delhi Police has imposed Section 144 at several places in the Capital, including central Delhi, JP Park, Rajghat and Dilli Gate. At Rajghat, the police is not allowing people to gather in large numbers. Any large groups are being disbanded, put in buses and taken away to Chhatrasal Stadium in Model Town, north Delhi.
At JP Park, where Anna was to sit on fast, protesters are pouring in ready to court arrest. Activist-lawyer Prashant Bhushan said youth from Delhi University would court arrest at 12.30 outside the Chhatrasal stadium. And that at 4pm today, protesters would march from the Pragati Maidan metro station to JP Park. He also announced that at 4 pm on Wednesday, a big march would be organised from India Gate to Parliament House. He appealed to all people to join the march and asked government employees to take mass leave for a day.
Team Anna has asked people to wear black bands and to use social media and SMSes to help gather more people.
Who is Anna Hazare ?
Kisan Baburao Hazare pronunciation (help·info)(Marathi: किसन बाबुराव हजारे) (born 15 June 1937), popularly known as Anna Hazare pronunciation (help·info)(Marathi: अण्णा हजारे), is an Indian social activist and anarcho-pacifist who is especially recognised for his contribution to the development and structuring of Ralegan Siddhi, a village in Parner taluka of Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra, India and his efforts for establishing it as a model village, for which he was awarded the Padma Bhushan—the third-highest civilian award—by the government of India in 1992.
After leading a number of nonviolent protests in Maharashtra state against corruption, Hazare started a fast unto death on 5 April 2011 to exert pressure on the government of India to enact a strong anti-corruption act as envisaged in the Jan Lokpal Bill, a law to establish a Lokpal (ombudsman) with the power to deal with corruption in public offices. The fast led to nationwide protests in support of Hazare. The fast ended on 9 April 2011, the day after all of Hazare's demands were agreed by the government of India. The government issued a gazette notification on the formation of a joint committee (of government and civil society representatives) to draft an effective Lokpal Bill.
According to the July 2011 findings of a CNN-IBN- Hindustan Times Opinion poll, the Indian public prefers Anna Hazare to the Government of India to tackle corruption, and also see him as more trustworthy than the government. According to an Indian daily English newspaper Daily News and Analysis’s annual list of top 50 most influential people for 2011, Anna Hazare is the most influential person in Mumbai.
