Dream of taking girlfriend to macau land him celebrate new year in jail

In an attempt to fund a pleasure trip to Macau, a twenty-two year old Delhi boy with very expensive tastes and not too many smarts unsuccessfully staged his own kidnapping, demanding more than 20 lakhs rupees  ransom from his own family!

Pawan Verma had a dream of spending New Year’s Eve at the lavish Chinese gambling resort. Alas, it became a nightmare when he was caught in the act of picking up the ransom money provided by his unsuspecting father at a shopping mall in New Delhi.

Instead, he spent New Years Eve alone in jail.

His father, Ram Sahay Verma, is a businessman who owns two shops. He was understandably quite angry about his son’s criminal actions, and at the time of his son’s arrest had not yet decided whether or not he wanted to press charges. If he does not, his son will get away with his crime and walk away a free man.

The police laid a trap and arrested Mr. Verma when he turned up to collect his own ransom.

“The ransom calls and text messages were being made from Verma’s mobile phone. Verma’s elder brother, Punit, accompanied us to deliver the ransom. Six hours later, a man in a black jacket came to pick up the bag and Punit was shocked to find it was his own brother who staged the whole thing,” said the deputy commissioner of police, Jaspal Singh.

Our bad boy was a frequent patron of plush bars and restaurants, amassing debts of rupees 8.5 lakhs.

“Pawan’s girlfriend demanded he take her to Macau on New Year’s Eve. He hatched a plan to fake his own abduction with the help of a friend, Himanshu Kumar. Due to his limited earnings, he had accumulated a huge debt but he wanted to fulfill his girlfriend’s wish,” added Singh.

"Doctor, Aap Bhagwan Ho! " We missed such lines nowadays

In another case of  doctor allegedly assaulted  their patients sexually, the crime rate increased in India. Time has come to adopt Comsumer Act on doctor as well.
 
The police arrested a doctor from a nursing home in Vakola yesterday for allegedly molesting a 26-year-old on the pretext of checking her.

The victim's son was admitted at Dattaraya Nursing Home in Vakola. The accused, Dr  Narendra Naravade, a doctor at the clinic, allegedly told her that she would have to undergo a checkup along with her son.

"My son was admitted in the intensive care unit of the clinic located at the Dattamandir Road in Vakola. On Tuesday night, I stayed back with my son at the clinic," said the victim Asha (name changed).

In her statement to the police, Asha said that at 7.30 am, while patients in the ICU were asleep, a doctor woke her up and told her that they had to take her son for a checkup.

Dr Naravade allegedly asked Asha to undress and touched her inappropriately

"After his checkup the doctor told me to get myself checked as well. I said that I did not have any illness but he insisted anyway. He began touching me inappropriately. I attempted to resist but he drew the curtains to the ICU section, asked me to undress, and molested me, " said Asha.

"After the incident, I told a nurse at the clinic about the molestation and reported the matter to a senior doctor, Rakesh Duggal, who contacted my husband. By then Dr Naravade had fled," she added. Officers from Vakola police station said that Asha, mother of two, is a resident of Rankahan Patel Chawl in Santacruz.

Her three-month-old had caught cold and fever five days ago, following which he was admitted at the clinic. The Vakola police have arrested the doctor from his house at Vakola, and charged him under Section 354 for molestation.
 
"We will record the statement of the doctor and the other staff of the nursing home," said Anil Kharade, senior police inspector. Police are ascertaining whether the clinic is registered with the BMC, which has been asked to provide details, said a police official.

Name the "City of Rapist"

Pink City is Jaipur, city of garden is Bangalore, city of Palaces is Kolkatta, and now CITY OF RAPIST IS NEW DELHI.

A teenage girl was abducted and sexually assaulted allegedly by a group of youths in Sultanpuri after she protested against lewd remarks being passed at her.

It's the twentieth such incident in the Capital within a year. Barely three weeks after the rape of a call centre employee in Dhaula Kuan, a teenage girl was allegedly gang raped in a moving car by a group of men who abducted her after she protested against lewd remarks being passed at her.

Questions will be raised on the preparedness of the cops, especially since they had the opportunity to possibly prevent the rape after receiving two PCR calls informing them of the abduction of the victim and the vehicle number. The four accused were arrested, but by then the damage was done.

Another interesting fact is that Police Commissioner BK Gupta was in outer Delhi barely two hours earlier, to address cops on strengthening beat policing system. More than 500 constables attended. While Gupta left at 6.30 pm on Saturday, the victim was abducted at around 8.30 pm.

Dangerous streets
Puja, 18, (name changed) was on the way to her mother's workplace to receive her. On the way to the factory, she met a neighbour, Ravi, 25, and they started walking together. It was around 8.30 pm on December 11, when suddenly a black Hyundai Accent (registration number - DL 8 CG 4097) began following them and the men inside the car passed obscene remarks at the girl.

Ravi objected and as the car drove past, Puja broke the rear windshield with a bunch of keys.  Angered by this, the accused stopped the car and asked her to compensate for the windshield. As Puja refused to comply, the accused pulled her into the car and drove away.

Ravi immediately made a PCR call informing about the incident. But cops failed to act on this. Ravi made another call at around 11 pm and gave the registration number of the car to the police. Finally at around 12.30 am, cops located the car in the same area. The victim and two accused were inside at the time.

Wake-up call
"We received a PCR call regarding the incident and immediately sent our teams to catch the culprits. We searched all the roads of the area and our PCR van found the car and arrested two of the accused and recovered the victim. Some cans of beer were also found inside the car. The victim and the accused were sent for the medical examination and rape was confirmed.

Two of the accused, Rama, 28, and Chanderpaul, 23, raped the victim. On information received from them, we nabbed two others - Manish, 25 and a juvenile. Three of the accused were sent to 14-day judicial custody and the fourth has been sent to a juvenile home," confirmed Chhaya Sharma, DCP, Outer District. When reporters asked her about the time taken by the police, the DCP clarified that they didn't have the registration number of the car till 11 pm.

Officers seemed satisfied and said that they cracked the case in 4 hours. But sources said that an opportunity was lost to prevent the rape. The weakness in the interception ability of the cops, also evident in the Dhaula Kuan Rape case, was brushed aside by senior police officials.

Red Lips More Sexier Than Nude Body

A recent study by Manchester University shows that red lips hold men's attention longer than nude bodies.
"Our research suggests that red lips and perceived attractiveness are still ­inextricably linked, with red lipstick the most powerful attractor, and one that ­significantly increases visual fixation," Dr. Geoff Beattie, the study's lead scientist, told the UK's Daily Mail. "The practice dates back as far as the ancient Egyptians, who used red lipstick and rouge to enhance their attractiveness."

According to the study, which involved tracking the eye movements of 50 men as they were presented with images of different women, in the ten seconds after meeting a woman for the first time the average man will spend more than half that time looking at her mouth. If she's wearing lipstick, he'll find it difficult to look away: Men gazed at women's lips for an average of 7 seconds while spending just 0.95 seconds looking at their eyes and 0.85 seconds noticing their hair. And the brighter the lipstick shade the better: Pink hues kept men fixated for 6.7 seconds while fire engine red shades held their interest for 7.3 seconds.

The study also reveals that lip size is largely insignificant when it comes to perceived attractiveness -- despite whether women have thin lips or possess Angelina Jolie's bee-stung pout, if they wear a bright shade of lipstick they automatically secure much greater levels of attention than those who do not.

Fall 2010 saw the return of the crimson lip, as seen on the runway for the Proenza Shouler, Givenchy and Chanel shows. At Proenza Shouler and Givenchy, models' faces were rendered pale and matte so that the main focus was on the lip, which was strongly defined and colored in strong statement shades like dark wine and blood red.

Unholy Tales of Holy Babas in the Country

The Sex Baba case is getting murkier by the minute. During the tantrik's interrogation, the police discovered that he would watch pornographic movies before raping the girls. The investigating officials have found 12 pornographic CDs and more than Rs 3 lakh in cash at his Null Bazaar hideout.

According to the police, Mehendi Kasam Jainul Abdin Shaikh, alias Bengali Baba, revealed that other than his Pydhonie, Bhindi Bazaar, Chunabhatti and Kalyan hideouts he also had another hideout in Null Bazaar.

The police revealed that when they raided the demonic Baba's house, they found 12 CDs there. Officials suspect that the Baba would  watch the movies before raping the girls. The police added that they found the Baba's passport, which claimed that he was a native of 24 Parganas District, West Bengal.

"We have recovered 12 CDs and more than Rs 3 lakh in cash," said KA Patil, senior inspector, JJ Marg police station. Earlier, the police had recovered Rs 87 lakh in cash and diamond-studded jewellery from his hideout in Kalyan.

The police had also recovered a white powdery substance from the flat that has been sent for forensic examination.

Unholy Babas 
IN 2000, Hasmukhbhai Rathod, a tantrik, had allegedly advised a couple in Mira Road that the family would prosper if the father were to have a sexual relationship with his elder daughter, who was then 12. The racket was exposed when the baba began to abuse the younger daughter.
 
Rajiv Ranjan Dwivedi alias Sex Baba was the mastermind behind an organised prostitution syndicate operating across India. He had gathered all the small town sex operators under one umbrella.  He was also running a website in the name of Jia Mehta and Delhi Escort Service. His operations were conducted from many cities right from Bangalore to Kolkata.
 
 Hazrat Ikram Ali, a baba from Baroda, told Rehana Katharia (33), a resident of Kandivli,that he was god. He then suggested that her daughter Sophiya (15) should have physical relations with him and Rehana's second husband Yusuf Katharia (51), who is a businessman in London. This would rid them of all their woes, he claimed.
 
Chhotu Mandal (19) was advised by a tantrik that he should sacrifice a 5-year-old and drink her blood. This would rid him of all his woes and he would prosper. Mandal flung a 4-year-old girl from a moving train near Ghatkopar to do so and was nabbed by the passengers before he could escape.

Horror Tales
Mehendi Shaikh alias Bengali Baba persuaded a family in Colaba that he could heal their 11-year-old mentally challenged boy. Baba's solution to the handicap was something called a Bengali puja.

Baba wormed his way into the family's trust and they got him an apartment in Bhindi Bazar, paying the rent for him.

Baba allegedly called the mentally challenged boy's mother often and raped her. He had sex with the woman's sister and maid, and raped her two daughters, and four of their cousins, of whom three were minors.

Who was Jesus Great-Grandmother?

According to Florentine medieval manuscripts analysed by a historian, the great-grandmother of Jesus was a woman named St Ismeria. The legend of St Ismeria has been published in the current Journal of Medieval History.

St Ismeria likely served as a role model for older women during the 14th and 15th centuries. The legend of St Ismeria sheds light on both the Biblical Virgin Mary's family and also on religious and cultural values of 14th-century Florence. "I don't think any other woman is mentioned" as Mary's grandmother in the Bible, Catherine Lawless, author of the paper said.

"Mary's patrilineal lineage is the only one given," Discovery News quoted Lawless as saying.
"Mary herself is mentioned very little in the Bible," added Lawless, a lecturer in history at the University of Limerick.
"The huge Marian cult that has evolved over centuries has very few scriptural sources."Lawless studied the St Ismeria story, which she said has been "ignored by scholars," in two manuscripts: the 14th century 'MS Panciatichiano 40' of Florence's National Central Library and the 15th century 'MS 1052' of the Riccardiana Library, also in Florence. "According to the legend, Ismeria is the daughter of Nabon of the people of Judea, and of the tribe of King David," wrote Lawless.

She married 'Santo Liseo', who is described as "a patriarch of the people of God." The legend continues that the couple had a daughter named Anne who married Joachim. After 12 years, Liseo died. Relatives then left Ismeria penniless. "I'm pretty sure one is supposed to believe that it was either her dead husband's relatives or, less likely, her natal family," Lawless said. "The family of the Virgin Mary would not have been cast in such a light," Lawless added.

Ismeria then goes to a hospital where she finds refuge. She is said to perform a miracle, filling a shell with fish to feed all of the hospital's patients. After this miracle she prays to be taken away from the "vainglory of this world."After God  called her to 'Paradise', a rector at the hospital informed the Virgin Mary and Jesus of her passing. They departed for the hospital with the 12 Apostles, Mary Magdalene, Mary Salome and Mary Cleophas. There they paid honor to St Ismeria.

Is Kuki Student Organisation an Outft in Delhi?

Outfit representing a minority ethnic group at Delhi University alleges it was prevented from holding a cultural event at an auditorium despite paying Rs 15,000 to a student leader.The matter at hand raises two concerns - that of corruption and prejudice. Members of a northeastern students' organisation have alleged that the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) duped them of Rs 15,000, after they were not allowed to convene a function at an auditorium inside the varsity. Not only that, the Kuki Students' Organisation (KSO) has claimed that it was discriminated against for representing a 'minority'. The outfit alleged that DUSU Joint Secretary Akshay Kumar, who they had approached for getting the auditorium booked, did not do the needful and later refused to refund the money. "Akshay told me that he does not know anything about it. He will have to check with the other members. He wasn't taking our calls. It has been a month since we gave him the money," said Thomas, treasurer, Kuki Students Organisation (KSO).Seeking justiceThe organisation has now approached the Registrar and Proctor of Delhi University, against the DUSU leader. "Akshay Kumar had been approached on November 6, 2010 for Youth Cultural Festival. He promised an allotment of the hall and took Rs 15,000. But then he did not give us the allotment as promised," stated the complaint written by Letkhomang Haokip, President KSO.Thomas also accused the student leader of making fun of them, calling them outsiders. "Whenever we approached them, they would mock us and treat us as outsiders. On occasions, when I spoke with Akshay, he would laugh at me saying that he couldn't understand what I was saying and asked me to bring an interpreter the next time," alleged Thomas. 

The complainant added that he later realised Akshay had not even booked the hall and was bluffing them. He said that it surprised him to have had to face prejudice for as simple a thing as booking a hall at Delhi University. Thomas was promised the reservation of Shankar Lal Hall by the Joint Secretary of DUSU, which is located in the campus and falls under the control of Delhi University. The Kuki Organisation had requested for the auditorium to host a Youth Cultural Programme which is held every year since the organisation came to existence in 1992. The Kuki youth cultural programme was held at Shankar Lal Hall last year. This year, they could not have the venue till the last moment. The organisation had deposited a sum of Rs 15000 for the allotment of the hall for the programme to be held on November 6, 2010. But, the booking was not confirmed even till November 4. Finally, they could not have the auditorium and had to look for an alternate venue, which was very difficult at that hour as it was the festive season and November 5 was Diwali. 'I deny everything'.

When contacted, Akshay Kumar said, "They had withdrawn themselves and told me that they had to change the choice of venue at the last moment. I do not know about the money and will have to check it with the DUSU as it is deposited with them. If what they are saying is even partially true, I will get it refunded."However, Thomas refuted Akshay's statement and said that they had waited for many days and tried to contact him time and again. "I also tried to approach the V-C, but he was not available on the day when I visited the campus," he added. "I am not aware of the issue as of now. I would check the records to see if there is any such complaint. I would take serious action against the culprits, if any," DU Proctor Gurmeet Singh assured MiD DAY.

It was reported in  MID DAY  how Youth Nexus, the Delhi University student fest usually held in the later half of December, is under threat. Organisers of the three-day-long carnival have a major hurdle to overcome. The University Polo Grounds, where the event is held every year, are still to be retrieved from the Organising Committee of CWG 2010. The site, along with Sports Complex ground, St Stephens and Khalsa College grounds, are the four sports fields amongst the eight that were taken over as training grounds for CWG. As per university officials, all of these sports grounds had to be handed over to respective colleges by October 20. The deadline has come and gone but the grounds are still lying vacant in the custody of the Games committee.

The shocking incident of abduction and rape of a young Mizo woman in the early hours of Wednesday has created a sense of fear, particularly among the North-East communities living in different parts of the Capital. They have sought increased police presence in these localities at night.Madhu Chandra, spokesperson of the North East Support Centre and Helpline, said the authorities concerned had about a year ago promised to set up a dedicated helpline for those from the north-eastern region. He said crimes against girls from the North-East are reported mostly from localities where they reside. "They live in areas like Munirka, Mahipalpur, Mohamadpur, Moti Bagh, Nanakpuram, Khanpur, Defence Colony, New Friends Colony, in and around Delhi University's North Campus, Gandhi Vihar and Nehru Vihar. Police Control Room vans can be stationed and patrolling intensified in these areas at night for deterrence," he said.

Recently  the manager of a renowned Chinese restaurant and bar - Wow Restaurant and Bar - allegedly molested a girl from the northeast inside the eatery on August 29, 2010 for watching television during duty hours.Sonam (name changed) worked as a waitress with the restro-bar situated in the L Block of the circular shopping arcade. Annoyed with Sonam for watching television on the first floor of the eatery, manager Rohit Sharma first hurled abuses at her and then pushed her from the chair she was sitting on. He then reportedly tried to get "physical" with her. "He in fact tried to rape me. When I raised an alarm other staff members came for my help and released me from his clutches," Sonam claimed. Sonam, a native of Manipur, lives with her brother and cousin in the Kotla Mubarakpur area of south Delhi. She claimed she was alone on the first floor of the restaurant when the incident occurred."It was not just a sexual assault, when I tried to resist him, Rohit attacked me with a fork," Sonam had said, showing bruise marks on her neck and bosom....


In October 2009, Pushpam Sinha - an IIT Delhi PhD scholar - killed and burnt Ramchanphy Hongry, a Naga teenager, after she reportedly ignored his advances.

In September 2007, there was a huge outcry when three northeastern girls were molested in the Delhi University campus.

In May 2005, a 19-year-old Delhi University student from the northeast was raped by four men in a moving car after they dragged her from a roadside eatery in south Delhi's Dhaula Kuan area. The sensational case made headlines for days.

Another Mizo girl was gangraped in India's Capital

A young BPO employee hailing from Manipur was gangraped early Wednesday morning after she was kidnapped from a south-west Delhi locality, police sources said.

The victim, aged 30 years, was returning from her workplace in Gurgaon and walking towards her rented accommodation in Moti village near Dhaula Kuan along with her colleague when three-four men forced her into their vehicle.

About an hour later, the victim contacted Mongolpuri police station and claimed that she was gangraped and dumped her there. She claimed that the men took turns to rape her. The victim's medical examination has confirmed rape.

If you are unmarried, no mobile phone for you in Indian village

You would have heard about many types of restrictions but this one is really surprising and you might have not heard. But this is the first time that a panchayat has banned the use of mobile phones by the unmarried girls.
Panchayat has issued this order in Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh’s.

This decision has been issued by the Panchayat of Lank Village saying that the use of mobiles by unmarried girl is not right. The girls can be on the wrong path. Speakers  presented several examples before Panchayat in the same regard.

People gathered from the neighboring villages in the 2 and half hour long meeting. The funny thing is that the whole Panchayat was been called to ban the use of mobile phones by unmarried girls. Another decision is taken, according to which no female dancer will dance in any function or program.

Why Indian fails in 2010 Asian Games

The 2010 edition of Commonwealth Games was a grand success for Indian among the colonized nations of Britishers and it had proved that India was the most eligible slave nations of Britishers, winning the most number of medals.

However, it is surprising to see why India, a billionth population fails to repeat their performance in the 2010 Asian Games in China.After the record success in Common Wealth Games, Indian athletes were eyeing big medal haul at the Asian Games in Guangzhou, which starts Friday (November 12).

CWG 2010 has seen impressive performance by India and it raises hopes of an improvement at the Asian Games event. Indian finished second in the medals table with 38 gold medals in the CWG 2010 at New Delhi.

In the previous Asian Games, four years ago, India stand eight in the medals table with 10 golds in its kitty. “The performance in Delhi has raised our hopes for the upcoming Asian Games. These are the same athletes who would be in action in Guangzhou and we hope to perform well,” Bhubaneswar Kalita, India’s chef-de-mission at the Commonwealth Games was reported to have told the Indian media.

Possible reason for poor show of the Indian sportsperson might have been distracted by the beautiful cheerleaders, or the failed policy of sports in the country where few games have been endorsed and worshiped in the country.

Dear Facebook Users, Play Farmville When You are Free and Alone

Dear Facebookers,  enjoy the various games in Facebook, but not at risking your life and others. A 22 year-old woman from Jacksonsville, Florida has pleaded guilty to killing her baby son over a game of...Farmville in Facebook.


Alexandra V. Tobias says her three-month old child, Dylan Lee Edmondson, had been crying while she was trying to play the popular Facebook casual game. This angered Tobias, who told authorities that she shook the baby, had a cigarette to calm herself down, then shook him again. It's believed he "may have hit his head during the shaking".

Dylan's death was classified as second-degree murder, a charge that carries the possibility of a life sentence in prison. Facebook is a craze among the Manipuri diaspora nowadays, so please play safe.

Baichung to launch football academy for underprivileged Delhi walah

Surprised to hear that Baichung Bhutia is launching a football academy for underprivileged in NCR of India (near NOIDA, DELHI, GURGAON). Why he chose the region and the children? There is no dearth for  poor, talented and ungroomed talents in his  home town and north eastern region. He should have started the academy in the region  before going to get name and fame in the metros. What is in his mind we dont know but  one thing is clear, this guy wants media publicity and endorsement in the NCR region which he wont get in his home town.

Saturday, October 30 will mark a new beginning for India football captain, Baichung Bhutia. For, the most popular Indian footballer, will venture into identifying and coaching young talent in the country by starting a football school for underprivileged and orphaned children at Noida, New Delhi. 

 He was reported to have said that "This is one of my dream projects. Thirty per cent of the slots will be reserved for students from poor backgrounds. These students will be trained free of charge. I have taken some land on lease in Delhi for the school. It will not be a residential facility."

I want to ask him is the people of north east India more richer and privileged than those staying in the NCR.

It is learnt that the project is a joint venture with Portugal's Carlos Queiroz football academy. About this football school to be opened in the Capital, Bhutia said: "There are many children who want to play football but don't have the resources, especially kids from poor families and those residing on the streets."  

If the Football academy is opened in any of the north east Indian states, we may see   football  players  from our region who can play in FIFA.  He  does not want his successors, so neglecting the region. Bhutia never loves his  region as we love him and proud to be the footballer from our region, God blessed him!

Are the People From North East and Kashmir "Not" Our People?

Committee for the Release of Dr Binayak Sen, Mumbai, in an open letter to  Prime Minister , Home Minister and Sonia Gandhi, has asked if the people of Kashmir and the North East were not the people of India.

The open letter, carrying the slogan “Listen to Irom Sharmila–Repeal AFSPA–Treat Kashmiris and the North East As Our Own,” which was made available to the press by Just Peace Foundation today, said, "We have noticed a striking anomaly in the way the armed forces and the state treats the people of Kashmir and the North East. When contemplating the use of the armed forces in the forest belt, the armed forces and the state concluded (quite correctly, in our opinion) that they should not be used against the people of this region, including the Maoists, since 'they are our people'. Yet the very same armed forces have no compunction about being deployed against the people of Kashmir and the North East, and the state agrees! Worse still, the armed forces insist that they cannot carry out their duties without AFSPA, which allows them to rape, torture and kill with impunity."

"So what is happening here? Are the people of Kashmir and the North East not 'our people'? This is indeed the message that comes across. And if these people feel that they are not regarded or treated as 'our people' by the state and armed forces of India, is it surprising that many of them do not want to belong to India? In fact, AFSPA allows the armed forces to commit atrocities that would be considered war crimes even if they were directed at a foreign enemy.

There is no justification for keeping it on the statue books, because it is incompatible with international humanitarian law. Its enforcement in these states has been one of the main reasons why there has been no resolution of the conflicts in them for decades. Consulting the armed forces about the repeal of a law that allows them unlimited power is worse than useless: why would they ever agree? Surely you ought instead to be consulting people like Irom Sharmila, who has been waging a heroic and totally non-violent struggle against AFSPA for ten years!

Shouldn't the government be asking her why she is ready to sacrifice her life to get this law repealed? And taking her answer deadly seriously before she dies?" the letter read.

Facebook Users Sacked for Flirting

At least three teachers from public high schools in New York have been sacked in the past six months for making indecent remarks while dealing with students on Facebook, a media report said Monday.

According to the New York Post, Chadwin Reynolds, one of the booted teachers who "friended" about a half-dozen female students, wrote creepy comments like, "This is sexy", under some of their Facebook photos, investigators found.

Reynolds allegedly even tried to get one teen to go out with him by getting her phone number and sending her flowers, candy and a teddy bear.

On his Facebook profile, Reynolds, 37, posted a tasteless tagline that read, "I'm not a gynaecologist, but I'll take a look inside", according to the special commissioner of investigation for the New York City school district.

The department of education (DOE) confirmed that Reynolds had been cut loose because of the social-networking scandal, the report said.

Laurie Hirsch, 30, another former DOE employee, was canned in May for her steamy Facebook scene involving a student.

She had posted a photo of her kissing an 18-year-old male former student on the lips, which sparked an investigation.

The student subsequently told investigators that he had had sex with Hirsch about 10 times in her apartment last year, and records revealed 2,700 phone contacts between the pair over a six-month period.

Hirsch said neither she nor the student had been attending school any longer when their dalliance began.

"I was suspended indefinitely for using a cellphone too frequently during school time," she said. "And it didn't seem in any way, shape or form that I was getting my job back when the relationship with the boy took off."

In Manhattan, New York, substitute teacher Stephen D'Andrilli also "friended" several female students on Facebook and sent inappropriate messages, the report said.

He allegedly sent one girl a message telling her she was pretty and told her he had tried to visit her during one of her Saturday classes.

D'Andrilli, who did not return a message seeking comment, was barred last month from subbing ever again.

Despite the flurry of troubling incidents, DOE officials said they don't currently have a policy that addresses teacher-student communication on Facebook.

"Still, we continually look at ways that our policies may need to evolve to keep pace with technology," said a DOE spokeswoman.

Dirty and Tragedy of Online Network Marketing

Some may be genuine, I am not blaming to all. Here is a select  network and their complaints. The post is written in the wake of Jainex International Trade (www.jitmarket.com) vanishes with Rupees 50 crore from Manipur state. The views expressed are collected  from internet and other sources. The  words are produced in the original form, so no correction on the grammar and sentence  structure as well.

Letter to Tarun & Associates, Travel Venture International (TVI) New Delhi, India
10 months, 24 days and 7 hours, 44 minutes, 50 seconds ago
Dear Great Leaders of Tvi
I am writing this letter with a hope that Mr. Tarun Trikha of TVI would answer to my queries. I am compelled to rite this for TVI Company took forever to reply my query being communicated to the support group. Now it is doubtful whether there is a Travel Venture International or not? Who really they are? Whom should we contact in case of problems? The leaders in Manipur are another dump who all fantasized in the Dollar game, the dollar of TVI or dollars manufactured by Tarun.
(1) I am a member of TVI. I joined the scheme not to become a private jet or yatch owner. Being a traveler by nature, I was really lured by your so called 6 nights seven days vacation across the globe, as shown in TVI website. By and by I enrolled a lot of members and today, about 150 members have had cycled out from Express board under me. As per the TVI promises I am supposed to own a private jet by now. But the fact remains that not a single reward did so far been distributed. I doubt whether I will get a laptop or not. As of now the leaders in Manipur what made them keeping mum when the situation raised this level?
(2) Thailand leadership event will never take place. The leadership event was supposed to stage in August 2009 but now it is November. Even the much hyped TVI office in Bangalore has now become a story. Something Marble Arch Tower in London sometimes is Switzerland and now in Bangalore as they said ‘we are growing so we are moving’. Moving from London to Bangalore.
(3) Mr. Tarun when he came to Imphal he said the office in Bangalore will be fully ready by 10th of November but till today nothing about an office in Bangalore is heard of.
(4) I shall take back my words if the office in Bangalore ever opens and travel package could be made available to its members soon. The 2.50 lacs deducted from the EB cycle out seemed to have been frozen in Company’s freezer. In the name of pre-launching such a huge amount is looted prom the members thus depriving the right of the members.
(5) In any Network upline is like a walking ghost who rushes to the spot where his down line needed him the most. In TVI there is no upline, Tarun.. is the name. Somebody also should ask of not Tarun than who…? What about the English gentlemen whose name shown on the website. No… this is cheat, fraud…..
(6) The presidential associate members in Manipur. Please you also find out the clues. Your rank is the zenith in this Network. you should be able to assist your down line, get latest information, But all the Presidential associates seemed to be more interested with only the dollar gambling. Please change the attitude. I shall be obliged if some one put me light on this matter.
Yours Sincerely
K.N. Haokip
Kangpokpi,
Near Mission Compound

And the list goes on....

Never Volunteers Again

More than 4,500 volunteers had backed out alleging that the Organizing Committee had betrayed them by promising money at the time of recruiting them and going back on it at the eleventh hour. The volunteers, most of them students from the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, were threatened by the varsity authorities that if they would not join their duty "action" would be taken against them. Out of the 31,000 volunteers, 6,125 had enrolled from the IP University alone.

Volunteers were engaged for performing a range of duties during the games like acting travel and tour guides around venues and airports, working with the media units and helping out the traffic police in managing vehicle flow around the venues.


These girl volunters had thought it was about national pride but what they had to go through is nothing short of national shame.

Several girls from the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, who joined as student volunteers for the Commonwealth Games, have alleged their senior colleagues and officials attached to the Organising Committee harassed them sexually.

At least two girls posted at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium have resigned, alleging their seniors asked for sexual favours. However, under family pressure they were not able to file any formal complaint against the accused officials. When the harassment didn't stop, they left their jobs.

"My senior assured me relaxed working hours and incentives, if I obliged him," said one of the volunteers who stopped reporting for work at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, the showpiece venue for the Games.

"Our parents did not want us to go there again. They were worried about our security," said another volunteer, who was also harassed at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.

Both girls, refusing to divulge their identities, claimed there have been several cases across venues but no formal complaints, as the accused either threaten the victims or try to coax them into not registering complaints.

"A lot of them also give in to family pressure and the stigma for the whole family," one of the victims told MiD DAY.More than 2,700 girls from the Indraprastha University have been volunteering for the Commonwealth Games.

Authoritative sources across Games venues have confirmed that several girls have been "asked out" by their seniors.

"By offering incentives, seniors ask for sexual favours," said one of the volunteers at Thyagraj Stadium, venue for the Netball event.Another volunteer alleged that the workforce manager Mrs Prerna used to "send the girls to some specific officials" for random work.

"She would send us to one Mr Pramod who used to ask girls out for coffee and dinner," said a victim.
Yet another volunteer at Indira Gandhi Stadium claimed that Abhay, assistant manager, volunteers, have been asking for sexual favours from the girls.

Complaints were also heard against the head of the technical department, Saumesh, at the Yamuna Sports Complex. "Most of the girls are apprehensive of his "over-friendly" behaviour," said a girl posted at the complex, situated in east Delhi.

Even the university officials seem to be aware of the issue but they said they were yet to receive a formal complaint."It is shocking. Our university is actively participating in the event. This kind of behaviour is intolerable and strict action should be taken against the culprits," said Vibhor Anand, Head Convener, Commonwealth Games, Student's volunteer programme, IP University.

"I have not heard any such complaint. We will bar all volunteers from Games duties, as soon as I get any such complaint. Also, we will officially look into the matter by filing a written complaint with the Organising Committee," said Professor DK Bandyopadhyay, Vice-Chancellor, IP University.

The volunteers staged a protest outside the Organising Committee (OC) office on Tuesday. The volunteers were complaining about the "rude" behaviour of their seniors.

"They are treating us like peons. We are made to clean the floors and have also been asked to pick the garbage," said Santosh, one of the volunteers who protested outside the OC office."In fact we are asked to work odd hours. It is becoming difficult for us to work in such environment," said Anita, another volunteer present at the protest. Rajan Bhagat, PRO, Delhi police said he received no such complaints.

Trafficked Mizo Girls Asked to do Sexual Favours

The three girls from Mizoram, who were rescued by the Crime branch team on Saturday, have revealed to the police that they were being asked to do sexual favours for customers at the beauty parlour in Porvorim and when they refused they were beaten up by the owner.


The three girls, one of them a minor, were trafficked into Goa with a promise to work in Lotus beauty parlour.
“They are school drop-outs and were contacted by a local lady, who informed them that there is job for girls to work in beauty parlour in Goa. Though they are not trained beauticians, they were told that they will be given training in Goa,” said sources.

They arrived in Goa less than a month back. “At first things were okay. But later, they were forced to given in to the sexual favours sought by customers. The customers, mostly male tourists, would ask for a complete body massage and pay ` 7,000 at the counter. They were then taken to a small cabin where the girls were asked to massage the naked men for almost two hours. They had to also give in to the sexual favours sought by the customers. If they refused and the customers complained, then the girls were beaten up,” the girls have revealed in their statement to the police.
The girls told the police that they were again beaten on October 2, and its then that the three of them got together and planned to escape. Accordingly on October 4 they got an opportunity to escape when they were being taken from the parlour to the flat in which they were lodged in Porvorim. They then contacted their relatives in Mizoram and spilled the beans.
A police complaint was lodged in Mizoram and the Mizoram police along with a local NGO contacted Goa based NGO ARZ with detailed information and FIR copy. ARZ on Saturday submitted the same to the police, who raided the beauty parlour premises and rescued 11 girls who were trafficked into Goa to work in the parlour.

Police have arrested Shanta alias Laxmi Mishra, the owner of the parlour, along with four men for trafficking the girls to Goa for prostitution. They have been remanded to 7 days police custody. Another three of Mishra`s associates have been arrested by Mizoram police in a raid on Saturday.

Incidentally, after going through the documents, police learnt that though Mishra ran a massage parlour in the beauty salon, she had permission only to run a beauty parlour and haircutting salon under the Shops and Establishments Act, said sources. Police are now investigating whether the girls were being taken out in the coastal belt for.

Condom Waste Game (CWG) 2010

A large condom vending machine has been installed at the Common Wealth  Game Village, which may now be called as Condom Waste Games (CWG) 2010 which contains at least 4,000 contraceptive packs.Officials said more than half the condoms in the machine have already been taken out. The condoms are available at the Games Village polyclinic.

"We have installed a big condom vending machine which contains at least 4,000 contraceptives.According to reports from the Village, more than 2,000 condoms have been used so far. We will refill the machine, if need be," a health official said.

The machine at the polyclinic contains four master cartons, each of which contains 960 packets and one packet contains two condoms.

To prevent the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases during the CWG, the National AIDS Control Organisation, the Delhi State AIDS Control Society and the Hindustan Latex Family Planning Promotion Trust have also installed condom vending machines at various Games venues, hotels and markets.Around 129 machines have been installed across Delhi to make condoms available round the clock. People have been hired to take care of the machines.

"The machines at the Village and other venues have been branded in sync with the CWG theme to spread the message of ' Play Safe'," an official said.

Condoms are always in demand at all residential quarters for athletes during every big international sporting event.There was a shortage of condoms in the Vancouver Winter Olympics held in February this year. Health officials there had provided one lakh free condoms to roughly 7,000 athletes and officials, but the supply ran short within four days of the start of the event.

AND THE WINNER IS CONDOMS!!!!

Sex Games or Commonwealth Games in India

Thousands of women from India's north-east have been hired by escort agencies for the Commonwealth Games, a rights group has said.

Impulse NGO Network says it fears the girls will be pushed into prostitution.The group said nearly 40,000 women were hired from seven states with promises of "lucrative" pay. Authorities said they were unable to confirm the number.

Escort services advertise in newspapers and are suspected to be fronts for prostitution. Campaigners say major Indian cities, including Delhi, Mumbai (Bombay) and Calcutta, have thriving red-light districts where girls are brought year-round from all parts of India as well as other South Asian countries. Hasina Kharbih, chairperson of Impulse NGO Network, a rights group that rescues women trafficked from north-eastern states, said they had closely monitored the large-scale hiring of women from the north-east for the Commonwealth Games.

"We are indeed very worried for our girls because so many of them have been recruited for escort services. They have been lured by good money and future jobs," said Ms Kharbih. 'Dubious agencies'A government minister in the north-eastern state of Meghalaya said he was apprehensive about the problem.Delhi is expected to receive a number of visitors for the games.

"It is not just girls from Meghalaya, but from across the north-east who have been recruited in huge numbers. We don't have details but we have reasons to be apprehensive," Social Welfare Department Minister JB Lyngdoh said.

Although ticket sales have been low, thousands of tourists are expected to be in Delhi for the 12-day Games, which begin Today
.
Recent police investigations in some north-eastern states have indicated that more than 15,000 girls and young women have gone missing over the past decade. Police say they were lured by lucrative job offers never to return home. Some have been rescued by police and rehabilitated by groups such as Impulse NGO Network.
