Sanskrit, not German: Smriti Irani’s Hindutva agenda only hurts KV student

 

What's your Opinion on this?? I find it stupid

That's such a downer. It's just limiting their opportunities. When most other countries are actively encouraging learning a foreign language here we are forcing our youngsters to stop. :doh:

14,000 Push-Ups to Raise 25,000 Pounds for Indian Soldier's Family
LONDON: 20 years ago, Australian army's Brigadier Bill Sowry, then a Major, was training at the Staff College in India where he became friends with Major Mohit Whig. The two men and their families grew close to each other.

Some years later, Major Whig was killed while he was posted in Kashmir, and left behind a young family - two sons and his wife.

Brigadier Sowry, who had gone back to Australia, slowly lost contact with Major Whig's family after learning of his death.

Many years later, the Whigs - who now live in Chandigarh - saw a message pop up on Facebook.

Bill Sowry, by now a Brigadier in the Australian Army and the defence attache in London, looked up Major Whig's family on Facebook and found them. "I thought I'd do a search for her son Zorawar, where he would be on it (Facebook) and of course I was lucky enough to find him," he said.

When Brigadier Sowry found that Major Whig's younger son Fateh had a condition called Spina Bifida, he wanted to help.

He set up Push Ups For Fateh or PUFF - a challenge where he's raising money for his treatment in Australia.

He says that surgical care in India is good, but he wanted the family to fly down to Australia so they could receive rehabilitative care.

"My target is 25,000 pounds. We are doing it to get Fateh some specialist care, rehab care, that he can self-administer, look after his own personal needs as he goes into adulthood. He's got some mobility issues, so he needs to be given special skills," Brigadier Sowry said.

But how would he raise money? He decided to do push-ups every single day. But how many? He decided he would do four times the number of push-ups there are kilometres covered in the Tour De France race. The race track is over 3500 kilometers so that meant the Brigadier set himself for a challenge of doing over 14,000 pushups in about three weeks.

He does this every day and maintains a chart too that is signed off by the local gym.

Brigadier Sowry didn't need an excuse to show NDTV how he does his daily exercise routine, sometimes listening to the song Jai Ho. Brigadier Sowry's own family has been very supportive, his daughter even edited a video of him doing these pushups.

Fateh's mother didn't want to be interviewed but issued a statement.

"The initiative taken by Bill speaks volumes about him and displays a quality of earnestness rarely seen today. I cannot thank him enough... The human response has been overwhelming and heart-warming," she said.

The brigadier has already raised over 10,000 pounds.

I was thinking that Modi is going to raise the bar so high that in no paan khaiyyas like Lalu mulayam nitish maya would ever dream of PM post.

Do you think moron pappu or even Moun-mohan could do justice to the chair?

And this entire thing has congressi arses on fire. They are calling WTO WIN a surrender to US. LOL

does this have something to do with banning of Dragon age :inquisition?? wtf??? so what is this new era of extreme censorship on games and all content,i might be a staunch Modi supporter but if this is true,someone need to speak up against this,this is well and truly unjustified. :rant:

We live in a free country,for god sake,we have the right to choose what is right or not right to watch/play.

 

Might as well as declare us communist and call India ,as New-china,if this is their Idea of new india.

1. Afaik DAA is not banned, just that publisher has decided not to release it...just like Fallout 3. This is to avoid possible public backlash.

 

2. There is no censor/rating board for games in India. And India shouldn't lose their sh*t over niche titles DAA or FO, so govt doesn't get alerted and create one. ;)

 

3. Porn ban is SC directive, it came in during UPA as well. Judges don't understand that its not possible to block it and every once in a while someone does keeda in them.

 

4. Keep calm and lo Modi ka naam.

Man has NFC chips injected into his hands to store cold Bitcoin wallet

 

 

For the last 10 days, Martijn Wismeijer, a Dutch entrepreneur and Bitcoin enthusiast, has lived with an NFC chip embedded in each hand. One has data that he’s constantly overwriting; he can put his contact details in simply by having another person scan his hand with an NFC-enabled phone. But the other contains the encrypted private key to his wallet.
