      <title>Bengal's Brand Ambassador Shahrukh Khan gets Drunk and Beat Up Staff at Wankhade</title>
      <link>http://consumer.admanya.com/blog_Bengal's_Brand_Ambassador_Shahrukh_Khan_gets_Drunk_and_Beat_Up_Staff_at_Wankhade-2513.html</link>
      <description>One can only praise the choice of the honorable chief minister of West Bengal, Ms. Mamata Banerjee for making Shahrukh Khan as West Bengal's brand ambassador.  &#xD;
&#xD;
Bengal which produced stalwarts and luminescent like Rammohan Roy, Tagore, Jagdish Bose, Vivekananda, Ramakrishna, Bankin Chandra Chattopadhaya, Sarat Chatterjee, Jagdish Bose, Satyen Bose, Subhas Bose (during the renaissance and pre-independence period) and in recent times cultural icons like Ravi Shankar, Satyajit Ray, Uday Shankar  etc, is now resorting to Shahrukh Khan to project its brand - nothing can be more pathetic than this.&#xD;
&#xD;
Mr. Khan now is in his sunset years has left hardly anything behind that can be labelled as culture or heritage. Barely few months back this man got drunk in a ex-gangster's birthday bash and beat up the husband of a Bollywood colleague. Again, yesterday night after his franchise KKR winning against Mumbai Indians, Khan forcefully entered Wankhdae ground without authorization with about 30 kids and misbehaved, manhandled and abused the MCA security men and officials - he was drunk and the ACP Mumbai has gone publicly on record that Mr. Khan was smelling alcohol. &#xD;
&#xD;
The film actor has become very arrogant in recent times and has shown scant disregard for laws and etiquette. He was seen smoking many a times during IPL matches, something which is not only banned but also distasteful and outrageous in the context of a sport.&#xD;
&#xD;
But Mamata Banerjee feels that Khan is the perfect role model for people of Bengal and this man can best project Bengal to other states. Proabably, Khan shares the culture of TMC cadres and that's why the honorable chief minister finds him the best man for branding West Bengal.</description>

      <title>Who will sting a big cricketer and get mowed down by Ferrari?</title>
      <link>http://consumer.admanya.com/blog_Who_will_sting_a_big_cricketer_and_get_mowed_down_by_Ferrari_-2512.html</link>
      <description>Mr. Ajay Maken must be having personal body guards and travels by car and so he wishes that some good Samaritan will remove the roots of match fixing in IPL. The roots lies with the big and powerful of Indian Cricket who consists of players, politicians and bollywood. Does not Mr. Maken know that anybody who dares to sting a big name of Indian cricket ( to uncover the bitter truth) will surely get mowed down by Ferrari?&#xD;
&#xD;
I feel that the recent sting was actually orchestrated to preempt any genuine sting that could have been organised to expose the racket. Some insignificant junior players were approached and made scapegoats. It is nothing but an eyewash and these players although will be suspended and suffer a temporary setback in cricketing career but will have excellent future prospect as they can get tickets by Congress party in elections like they gave to Md. Azharuddin, the nawab of match fixing. &#xD;
&#xD;
It is really a big hypocrisy that the news channels are giving so much importance to the sting because ultimately nothing will happen and this is an open secret. Instead of punishing the crickets, India has always honored the match fixers. The most glaring example is of the ruling Congress party that has made Azahar a MP by giving ticket in UP for his match fixing while as captain of Indian team. It is not only the political parties that rewarded game fixers, the media has made another match fixer Ajay Jadeja its star broadcaster whereas if we were really serious to clean the system, we would not have seen these two faces so often.&#xD;
&#xD;
Now the Badsah of Bollywood is a very powerful in the matter of cricketing decisions and specially IPL; together with politicians, cricketers and film actors - the real three pillars of our democracy we can expect to see cricket becoming gambler's darling.</description>

      <title>All We Want Is Our Freedom</title>
      <link>http://consumer.admanya.com/blog_All_We_Want_Is_Our_Freedom-2509.html</link>
      <description>All We Want Is Our Freedom&#xD;
&#xD;
Walk where your heart leads you, there are no restrictions and no burdens.(Gao Xingian)&#xD;
&#xD;
What is freedom? Is it an absolute right? We are born to become free. Freedom is defined from different aspects, and according to different cultures, freedom varies from culture to another. Some define freedom as a natural right; the human being is born with. Everyone wants to be free and independent from others. Freedom is the right to do what one wants, live where he wants, eat what he wants, learns what he wants, and chooses the religion in which he believes, without ignoring or harming other rights.&#xD;
&#xD;
Everyone wants freedom for himself or herself. I was reading a beautiful article written by Mr P V Vaidyanathan, "Be what you want to be", the writer says, Every person on earth would wholeheartedly agree that freedom is a necessity. What most of us mean by this is freedom from something or freedom to do something? Children are always looking for opportunities to get free of rules laid down by their parents. Adults want more freedom in their relationships, while older people want freedom from disease, insecurities and loneliness.&#xD;
&#xD;
True freedom, however, is none of these things. True freedom means the power to be really you. Every one of us is unique, with our own basic personality, wants, desires, likes and dislikes. The sum total of all these makes us what we are. However, few of us are lucky enough to be in control of internal and external circumstances to be able to express our true selves. So we could end up being what we're not. Family and society, friends and colleagues create circumstances - albeit perhaps with good intentions -- that condition us, often forcing us to do or become what we are not. Invariably, it suits many of us too, to be what others want us to be, rather than to be ourselves.&#xD;
&#xD;
A child who is well mannered and well behaved gets appreciated and rewarded, while one, who is rebellious, gets scolded and punished. In order to gain approval from others and to get rewarded, children automatically start playing roles which are different from their true selves. In this way, right from childhood, we lose our freedom to be ourselves, and become what others want us to be.&#xD;
&#xD;
This situation could create plenty of conflicts and turmoil in us. When there is a mismatch between what we truly want to do or say, and what we are forced to, it results in stress. And stress, as is scientifically proven, acts on our body and mind, producing a lot of psychosomatic diseases. As an adult, when we suffer from chronic problems like headache, backache, acidity, hypertension, fatigue or diabetes, we seek medical attention, often not knowing that the root cause of these problems is our lack of freedom to be ourselves and to express ourselves freely. Medical science often treats the symptoms or the end results, without going into the metaphysical aspects of the disease. As a result, most treatments are lifelong, and although many of the diseases are controlled or cured at the symptom level, the cause which gave rise to these problems persists.&#xD;
&#xD;
So let's give ourselves absolute or total freedom, to think, to speak and to do what we really want to. This does not mean becoming selfish or license to cause injury to others. On the contrary, a person who values his freedom will immediately realize the value of others freedom. Absolute freedom means freedom for all. It means giving up controlling ourselves and controlling others. Once we have given ourselves total freedom, we need to think what we really want, how to go about it, and at what cost we want it. And having given the whole thing a lot of thought with our free mind, we can choose the correct action. When we think with a mind that is not free, when we are worried about what others will think or say about us, when we are always playing to the gallery, we might give some happiness to others, but we will find ourselves under duress, and so will never know peace and joy.&#xD;
&#xD;
A person who values his freedom will immediately realise the value of others freedom. Let everyone in the globe enjoy the freedom subject to condition that it is not harmful to others freedom&#xD;
&#xD;
The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage. ( Thucydides)</description>

      <title>Egypt plans farewell intercourse law so husbands can have sex with dead wives</title>
      <link>http://consumer.admanya.com/blog_Egypt_plans_farewell_intercourse_law_so_husbands_can_have_sex_with_dead_wives-2507.html</link>
      <description>SOURCE: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2135434/Outrage-Egypt-plans-farewell-intercourse-law-husbands-sex-dead-wives-hours-AFTER-death.html#ixzz1tCwuhXL1&#xD;
&#xD;
Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives Â for up to six hours after their death.&#xD;
&#xD;
The controversial new law is part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament.&#xD;
&#xD;
It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 and the ridding of women's rights of getting education and employment.&#xD;
Egypt's National Council for Women is campaigning against the changes, saying that , marginalising and undermining the status of women would negatively affect the country's human development'.&#xD;
&#xD;
Dr Mervat al-Talawi, head of the NCW, wrote to the Egyptian People's Assembly Speaker Dr Saad al-Katatni addressing her concerns.&#xD;
&#xD;
Egyptian journalist Amro Abdul Samea reported in the al-Ahram newspaper that Talawi complained about the legislations which are being introduced under alleged religious interpretations.&#xD;
&#xD;
The subject of a husband having sex with his dead wife arose in May 2011 when Moroccan cleric Zamzami Abdul Bari said marriage remains valid even after death.&#xD;
&#xD;
He also said that women have the right to have sex with her dead husband, alarabiya.net reported.&#xD;
&#xD;
It seems the topic, which has sparked outrage, has now been picked up on by Egypt's politicians.&#xD;
&#xD;
TV anchor Jaber al-Qarmouty slammed the notion of letting a husband have sex with his wife after her death under the so-called Farewell Intercourse draft law.&#xD;
&#xD;
He said: This is very serious. Could the panel that will draft the Egyptian constitution possibly discuss such issues? Did Abdul Samea see by his own eyes the text of the message sent by Talawi to Katatni?&#xD;
&#xD;
This is unbelievable. It is a catastrophe to give the husband such a right! Has the Islamic trend reached that far? Is there really a draft law in this regard? Are there people thinking in this manner?</description>

      <title>Life Insurance Policy to Help Your Family</title>
      <link>http://consumer.admanya.com/blog_Life_Insurance_Policy_to_Help_Your_Family-2505.html</link>
      <description>If you have children or old parents, it means that you have people who rely on you and they also count on you to acquire life insurance plans for their future in the incident of your passing away. Luckily, it is simple and economical to acquire life insurance in India. Here are some instructions to assist you with your purchase.&#xD;
&#xD;
Find Term Life Insurance&#xD;
You require this policy, as this covers you inside a set period, from one year to 20 years or more. The premiums for these plans are not as expensive as other kinds of policies. If you pass away inside the period, your death benefit will be alleged by your addressee.&#xD;
&#xD;
Do Shop Online&#xD;
The internet is the most suitable place to come across insurance companies that can offer you a term policy that most excellently suits your requirements. Find out several policies online and compare their charges and conditions before you settle with one.&#xD;
&#xD;
Buy a helpful Policy&#xD;
You can purchase life insurance that comes with a death benefit which is up to twenty times the annual wants of a family. This might sound a great number but, if your dependents want Rs 5, 00, 000 each year for their living everyday expenditure, this means that a 50 lakh death benefit from your plan would be ideal for them. Moreover, take care that you have a renewable plan. As long you shell out your premiums in a well-timed manner, your insurer will in no way withdraw your policy.&#xD;
&#xD;
Your addressee should not be a Minor&#xD;
A minor can not lawfully claim checks from any life insurance company. To stay away from this, you can create a living revocable trust and you should make the trust the receiver and not any person. The money can be used by the individual you selected as the trustee. This person will look after your child, founded on the laid out directions.&#xD;
&#xD;
When you are planning to obtain life insurance, getting a term policy would be a sign of your concern and care for your dependents when you pass away unpredictably. To come up with the finest term plan that is appropriate for your necessities, don't just settle with the first company that you find. Make broad exploration before you make a decision.&#xD;
&#xD;
In India, specialized life insurance companies like Metlife offering such services. Understanding about the requirement, time period, premium amount, specific to comprehensive insurance coverage, and managed care to indemnity plans, it is vital to have a clear understanding about such factors before signing on a policy. &#xD;

      <title>Media Spreading Lies about Karthi Chidambaram suing Subramanian Swamy</title>
      <link>http://consumer.admanya.com/blog_Media_Spreading_Lies_about_Karthi_Chidambaram_suing_Subramanian_Swamy-2503.html</link>
      <description>Some portion of national media is spreading false information that Karthi Chidambaram, son of Union Home Minister, P Chidambaram has sued Dr. Subramanian Swamy and this media misdeed is revealed by the following press releases issued by Dr. Swamy.&#xD;
&#xD;
Mr. Chidambaram senior should immediately resign from office and allow a free and fair investigation to be started against the father and son duo, who have scaled new heights in corruption in the government of Sonia Maino and Manmohan Singh. &#xD;
&#xD;
It is very unfortunate that a section of media is bought over by Chidambarams and they tried to spread blatant lies that Karthi Chidambaram filed a defamation case against Dr. Swamy. later, they modified the statement and aired that the company of Karthi Chidambaram filed a defamation suit which is more ridiculous. Anyone having a minimum knowledge of defamation provision under Indian Laws know that only the aggrieved party can file such suit and since Dr. Swamy has clearly named the father and son duo for corruption and bribe receiving one wonders why the father and son duo are not filing a multi crore defamation suit unless what is alleged by Dr. Swamy is true.&#xD;
&#xD;
--&#xD;
Apr 28, 2012.&#xD;
&#xD;
I have issued instruction to my offices in Delhi and Chennai to throw any Legal Notice on behalf of any Chidambaram clan to throw it in the waste paper basket. The clan must go instead and file a case in court. Then I can cross examine the Chidambarams who are neck deep in corruption.&#xD;
&#xD;
Media should stop taking MHA handouts and print wrong information that Karthi has already sued me. No such luck.&#xD;
&#xD;
--&#xD;
Apr 27, 2012.&#xD;
&#xD;
The threat of a defamation case issued yesterday by company officials on behalf of Mr. Karti Chidambaram with regard to my allegation of his involvement in the 2G Spectrum Scam is laughable. I would welcome an opportunity to cross-examine Mr. Karti Chidambaram in the court of law which will save me the trouble of approaching the Special 2G Spectrum court for filing a fresh private complaint. In the meantime I demand that the mother and son due of Ms Nalini Chidambaram and Karti Chidambaram to explain the number of trips they have made to Malaysia during 2005-2007, and whether the CEO or any other official of Maxis received them and put them in hotels. I once again demand that Mr. Chidambaram should be asked to immediately resign because no fair and free investigation can take place as long as he continues to be the Home Minister.&#xD;
