The police create dacoits in Chambal: Paan Singh Tomar's son

Shruti Tomar, Hindustan Times Bhopal, March 23, 2012
Pan Singh Tomar with his wife Indira and their children.

His father's name once spelt terror and respect in Chambal, where death comes as a whistling bullet, or in the form of crocodiles teeming in the local river.
But Souram Singh Tomar — son of Paan Singh Tomar who  has inspired the popular movie of the same name — doesn't go back there after his father's death for fear of being killed by his father's old enemies or the police. Instead, Souram Singh, a 53-year-old retired Army subedar, lives with his 75-year-old mother and his family at Babina in Jhansi district.
Paan Singh was an armyman and an international award-winning athlete who became a dacoit (locals prefer the term 'baagi' or rebel) after alleged oppression and violence against his family. The movie on him was made by director Tigmanshu Dhulia with Irrfan in the lead role.

Sperm Facts Every Woman Should Know



Sperm, as teeny weeny as they are, can affect us in a HUGE way. There are about 200-500 million of those little guys in the average amount of semen produced each time a man ejaculates.
  • Sperm are produced in the (Ladies, we've got to arm ourselves with knowledge so we can overcome the mighty sperm)
    man's testes - it takes 10 weeks for a single soldier to reach maturity.
  • Mature sperm can wait up to 2 weeks for their big day - they hang out in the epididymis - the coil like structure that runs across the top of each testicle.
  • If they are not ejaculated, those poor little sperms are broken down and reabsorbed by the body.

How To Know You’re On The Right Track


“If you are never scared, embarrassed, or hurt, it means you never take chances.” -Julia Soul
  • If you think you may have made mistakes, you are probably on the right track. That means you’re doing things even though you’re not perfect at them, which is the only way to learn and grow. More after the break...

  • If you think you may have looked stupid, you are probably on the right track. That means you’re letting yourself be vulnerable, which is the only way to fully experience something new.
  • If you think you may have said the wrong thing, you are probably on the right track. That means you’re talking to people you don’t feel completely comfortable around, which opens you up to new relationships and possibilities.
  • If you think you may have failed, you are probably on the right track. That means you put yourself out there, instead of waiting for the perfect time, which doesn’t actually exist.
  • If you think you may have blown your one opportunity, you are probably wrong.

This is what keeps us from taking risks: the fear that we may somehow suffer for trying and doing poorly. Not just that we’ll experience uncomfortable feelings, but that we’ll ruin our only chance.

We’ll have countless chances in our lives, if we’re willing to take them. We’ll have limitless possibilities to seize, if we remember all those uncomfortable feelings are worth the possible rewards.

Today if you find you feel scared, embarrassed, hurt, or vulnerable, remember: feelings eventually fade, but what you create in spite of them can change your life forever.

Roter Sand Lighthouse Turned Hotel in Germany

Described by some as the “loneliest hotel in Germany,” the Roter Sand lighthouse, some 30 miles off the coast of Bremerhaven, Lower Saxony, has been welcoming guests for over 10 years. But the lighthouse itself is 125 years old.

The Roter Sand was built in 1885, and was considered a technical marvel at that time as it was the first ever structure built on the sea floor at a depth of 22 metres. For almost 80 years the red, white and black lighthouse was the first thing sailors saw on their way into the port city, and the last thing millions of emigrants saw before their ships reached the North Sea on their journey to the New World. But by 1964 its steel foundations became unstable and the lighthouse was decommissioned.

Last Supper 'is commemorated a day late'

Sydney, Apr 17' 2011 (ANI): A new book by a Cambridge University physicist claims that Jesus Christ's last supper - the final meal that he shared with his 12 Apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion - is commemorated a day late.

Prof Colin Humphreys, who was knighted last year for his contribution to science, argues that the last supper Jesus Christ shared occurred on Wednesday, April 1, AD33, rather than on a Thursday as traditionally celebrated in most Christian churches, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

Protestors Take to Streets in Toronto 'Slut Walk'

Would you walk down the street with a sign saying “I’m a slut”? Well, these women did.
More than 1000 women hit the streets Sunday afternoon in Toronto, Canada, in what they call a “slut walk" in response to a controversial comment made by a police constable earlier this year.
toronto-slutwalk2
In January, Toronto Police Const. Michael Sanguinetti told a personal security class at York University that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized." Sanguinetti apologized for his comments, but apparently his apology was not enough to calm down the offended women. 

Women gathered at Queen’s Park, many holding colorful signs with bold statements condemning victimizing woman, such as “No one asks to be assaulted,” or “Rape is not a compliment.”  Many male supporters attended as well.

“Whatever we wear, wherever we go, yes means yes and no means no,” the crowded chanted as they walked toward Toronto Police headquarters, condemning the idea that the way a woman dresses puts her at risk of sexual violence.

Differences between Male and Female

Differences between Male and Female

"We are hundreds to paycheck. Take half, and buy products, which would be enough for a week "

In this case, a woman will try to buy the allocated amount of cereals, vegetables, chicken ... In short, something inexpensive that can stretch for several days, not hungry, but do not spend too much.

A man brings the supermarket liter of beer, a pound of shrimp and a pack of cheap biscuits. At the just indignation of a woman he replied that he had bought her favorite cookies, so can not say that he was not thinking about the family. More after the break...

Facebook Founder - Man of the Year by Time Mag (13 pics)

Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg - Man of the Year by the Magazine Time
Publication of "New York Times" has chosen "Man of the Year." This year it was Mark Zuckerberg - the Founder of the popular worldwide social networking site Facebook. It was expected that the first place will get the founder of the site WikiLeaks Julian Assange - he won by a vote of readers of the journal, while Mark Zuckerberg in the voting took only a tenth place. However, the revised Time awarded the honorary title of Zuckerberg, formulating his choice this way: "to unite among themselves over half a billion people, a new system of sharing information and simply for the fact that he has changed our lives."
