Aadhaar Online Slot Booking Not Available in AP

With barely three days to go for the deadline to linking Aadhaar (unique identification number) cards with LPG gas connections, people are running pillar to posts in getting their names enrolled for the cards. The original deadline for Aadhaar card to get subsidized gas cylinder was in the second week of February. However, due to the continuous uproar from the opposition parties besides the public demand, the Centre has extended the deadline by a month. And now that deadline seems to be approaching at brisk speed and number of people for getting enrolled for Aadhaar is still-more or less-the same.

While telephone system came in to place a few days ago at some centres in Hyderabad for a swift enrollment, online system is also made available by the concerned authority. Astonishingly, when it came to Andhra Pradesh, the online slot booking for Aadhaar reportedly failed terribly.

In the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDIA) website, there's an option 'get an appointment.' Upon clicking this page, a user will be redirected to a new web page wherein one can enter details and submit the same for an appointment. What's even more astonishing is that in the state/ut option,  Andhra Pradesh is no where to be seen.

The public expressed their grievance over the same and asked the concerned officials to look into the same.

Kartina Not A Part Of Imtiazs Next Film

'I have a great respect for Imtiaz as a film maker, but I am not a part of his next film. I am tied up with big projects like 'Dhoom - 3' with Amir Khan and 'Bang Bang' with Hritik Roshan in coming months. I cannot devote dates for any other film as of now', said Actress Katrina Kaif denying all the rumors about she working with the film maker in his fourth coming film, the lean Man being Ranbir Kapoor.

But the rumors about this act of Katrina say, the actress opted out of the film because of Ranbir's involvement. But, some sources close to the actress deny this. They say, 'Katrina believes in giving her best for her every film and this makes the actress to not to work in more films at a time. Ranbir has nothing to do with Katrina not being a part of Imtiaz's next. These are purely cooked up stories that have no meaning', said the sources.

Now what is the actual reason, it is known to them only...

Flying Fish...an unique species!

Flying Fish

"Plans to protect air and water, wilderness and wildlife are in fact plans to protect man"
-Stewart Udall- an American politician and later, a federal government official.

Flying fish (Exocoetidae) can be seen jumping out of warm ocean waters worldwide.
Historically, Barbados was nicknamed "the land of the flying fish", where today it is the official national fish. Once abundant, it migrated between the warm, coral-filled Atlantic Ocean surrounding the island of Barbados and the plankton-rich outflows of the Orinoco River in Venezuela.

As the fact remains, their streamlined torpedo shape helps them gather enough underwater speed to break the surface, and their large, wing-like pectoral fins get them airborne.

Flying fish are thought to have evolved this remarkable gliding ability to escape predators, of which they have many and their killers include mackerel, tuna, swordfish, marlin, and other larger fish. Flying fish are known to feed on a variety of foods, including plankton for their sustenance.

An important fact prevails that there are about 40 known species of flying fish and beyond their useful pectoral fins, all have unevenly forked tails, with the lower lobe longer than the upper lobe while many species have enlarged pelvic fins as well and are known as four-winged flying fish.

  How they fly?
  Now, coming to the process of taking flight, or gliding, begins by gaining great velocity underwater, about 37 miles (60 kilometers) per hour while angling upward, the four-winged flying fish breaks the surface and begins to taxi by rapidly beating its tail while it is still beneath the surface. It then takes to the air, sometimes reaching heights over 4 feet (1.2 meters) and gliding long distances, up to 655 feet (200 meters). Once it nears the surface again, it can flap its tail and taxi without fully returning to the water.
  
  

  

  
  

  Flying fish are capable of continuing its flight in such a manner, flying fish have been recorded stretching out their flights with consecutive glides spanning distances up to 1,312 feet (400 meters).
  
  

  

  
  

  Interestingly, Flying fish are attracted to light, like a number of sea creatures, and fishermen take advantage of this with substantial results. Canoes, filled with enough water to sustain fish, but not enough to allow them to propel themselves out, are affixed with a luring light at night to capture flying fish by the dozens.

  
  

  

  
  

  Quite sadly there is currently no protection status on these animals.
  Finally, we must realize the fact that they are unique and they also have the right to live, like we do!

A BLADE INSIDE A SLICE OF PIZZA!

A customer was left to consider deeply his slice of fortune after ordering a pizza meal and finding an ingredient he could hardly have imagined yes it a blade without anyone suffering an injury.

In fact, the incident saw an official at Dubai Municipality agitated residents to immediately notify authorities should they come across any contamination in their food.

Clyde Fernandes, who was a resident of Karama said that his friend and he called the food outlet’s delivery number for a chicken pizza at about 2.20am and the pieces he had were fine, but it was only when my friend ate a slice the next day that he found the blade inside a slice of pizza  . His friend at first thought it might have been a bone, and was shocked to see the blade because it could have cut him to death. Spontaneously he complained to the pizza outlet but all they offered was a complimentary pizza, and that is not the kind of apology that they were expecting.

He added that he already lodged a complaint with Dubai Municipality and inspectors have already collected the blade as part of their investigation, stressing that he hopes that some action will be taken to ensure that nobody else faces such an life threatening experience.

Moreover, it seems that a municipal official explained that the civic body acts according to a Corrective Action Plan on receiving complaints of food contamination, saying the system will determine what course of action needs to be taken.

Bobby Krishna, Senior Food Studies and Surveys Officer, Food Control Department at Dubai Municipality said in this case, it is difficult to determine whether the blade was in the flour or in the ingredients, so it is vital for them to launch an investigation and find out how the pizza was contaminated while he also added that it generally depends on the gravity of the situation, and they have to take into consideration whether it was a first-time offence or if the outlet had multiple violations and other complaints have been reported in the past.

According to Bobby, all lodged complaints have to be closed within 24 hours, so they will contact the company responsible and let them know within a day what action needs to be taken in order to prevent such life threatening incident from happening again.

Note: Residents can call the hotline 800 900 to notify the municipality of any violations by food outlets...(***only inside Dubai)

That was really God's grace that the man survived from an instant life blunder even after having his initial bite!

Murder Girl Mallika Gets Court Notices

Murder girl Mallika gets court notices for obscene performance

Actors stripping to almost nude and getting their names flashed in news is nothing new. Right from Tuff Shoe Ad to today's so called new eve performances, crossing the boundaries of decency has become common to our yesteryear actors to today's item girls. After Milind Soman-Madhu Sapre's bold appearance a few decades ago, people probably thought that it would be such last obscene thing. Unfortunately, the saga continues. Recent one who has added up her name to this obscene list is Murder girl Mallika Sharawat.

Mallika was served notices by a local court in Gujarat for her alleged obscene show at a new year's performance in 2007. Acting on a complaint filed by one Narendra Tiwari, the court took up the case and issues notices to Mallika Sharawat. 

Not just Mallika Sharawat but even the hotel owners got summons from the court.
