No More Survivors – Rescue Stops, Recovery Continues In Christchurch

By ETHAN Markoff NEW ZEALAND NEWS – Last Tuesday one of the largest cities in New Zealand and business hub, Christchurch struck by earthquake of magnitude 6.3 and shook the nation with great devastation. After one week, relief officials have declared that there were no more survivors likely to be found and the task left now was recovery. The official toll of causalities is now 161. However, officials say the final estimated toll could be raised to 240. The city is badly damaged and authorities contemplate that it would take long time to rebuild the whole, though already power, transport and sewage systems are gradually being restored.

India's Own Conservative Incest Story

Incest Story In Haryana Just a few days back India gloriously celebrated its 64th Independence Day but the oxymoron of Indian freedom runs in Indian villages. Nowadays one of the most noted sarcasms is quite in style in national news channels. The noise is quite audible, and annoyance level is also comfortably high. The subject is the most tempting one to mankind – sex. Haryana, a state in India known for flourishing industrialism and affluent farmers, seems living in the medieval period. The self-proclaimed Haryana’s Khaps are the sham ‘kings’ of the villages. Their “moral judgments” can even make shy to the epitomes of immorality. They do all sort of things – to solve personal problems of family, to give judgment of any conflict, and above all their profound knowledge in ancient gotras, caste system etc. is mind-boggling. A recent example is about a law graduate and resident of Karora village Seema whose brother had been killed for marrying a woman from the same gotra. This

Is Sending Rakhi Online Virtually Practical - A CJ Inside Story

By CITIZEN Journalist August 06, 2011 The big question which strikes me everytime I search for Rakhi Gifts on Google is to why every year the number of websites increasing to sell Rakhi on Raksha Bandhan online. Is it that the profit margin is more than four times if all the expenses and investments are substracted. To some extent I do agree with my thoughts as one Rakhi in the market near my house just cost somewhere between Rupees 20 to Rupees 50, and on Rakhi selling websites the minimum cost of a Rakhi is around Rupees 150, which goes up to couple of thousands. Is this the secret of selling Rakhi online with few most searched keywords such as Send Rakhi to India, Send Rakhi to USA, Send Rakhi Worldwide, Send Online Rakhi, and more. There is one more catch to online Rakhi selling, and that is its weight. The courier cost, or in other words the delivery cost, of Rakhi is the minimum due to the light weight nature of the product. Lets take a quick tour of Google on top 5 w

A horrific turn of event took place on Friday. Jancintha Saldanha, the nurse who unwittingly, divulged confidential medical report, terminated her life. She was 46 years of age.

Steve McCurry Famous Photograph – The Story Of The ‘Afghan Girl’

From EDITOR's Desk August 13, 2011 17 years later, the story continues with a simple photograph of a sea green eyed girl when a casual photography by McCurry turned out to be one of those captivating portrait that sear the heart and ran on the cover of National Geographic magazine in June 1985. The shy girl was among hordes of refugees at the refugee camp in Pakistan. The anger of those haunted eyes was apparent, which swept away the photography fraternity and not least the whole world, but after 17 years nobody actually remember her, even her name. The year is 2011 when a team from National Geography Television & Films brought McCurry to Pakistan to search the immortal face. They searched around Nasir Bagh where the refugee camp still stands lonely among multitude. After showing her photographs to number of people, they came to know the girl in the picture returned to Afghanistan and now lived in the mountains near Tora Bora. So, they decided to hunt the girl.
