Chevrolet Enjoy has recently recalled its much hyped Enjoy car from the market. It is also learnt that a case in Bandra Consumer Court Forum has been filed by a consumer and an advocate Shri. Feroz Shaikh, who had purchased it from JMD motors. JMD and Chevrolet failed to provide any service to the Complainant despite the vehicle being under warranty. The Consumer Forum has taken strict view of the deficiency and unfair trade practices promoted by the car giant, Chevrolet.

Chevrolet has provided defective engine, gear box, and air-conditioner in it’s ENJOY vehicle, which appears to have been gathering negative consumer feedback. ARAI has provided Chevrolet certificate to carry on business in India, despite Enjoy being rejected in other countries. Enjoy is a sub standard, cheap brand with no near match for Innova.

So like it or not, the “Enjoy” is a Chinese vehicle trying to make it into India under an American coat. It was designed by a Chinese company (Wuling).

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman has vowed to find the cause of a massive crane collapse that killed 107 people at Mecca’s Grand Mosque.
The construction crane crashed during a vicious thunderstorm as worshippers gathered for weekly Friday prayers just days before the annual Muslim Hajj pilgrimage.

“We will investigate all the reasons and afterwards declare the results to the citizens,” King Salman said after visiting the site, one of Islam’s holiest.

The official Saudi Press Agency said King Salman “discussed the causes of the accident and its effects on the holy mosque” after he saw where the massive crane came down
It was one of several cranes working on an expansion of the sprawling mosque.

King Salman also expressed his condolences to the families of the dead, and visited a local hospital “to check on the health of the injured who are from several nationalities including Iranian, Turkish, Afghan, Egyptian and Pakistani”, the SPA said.

Pictures of the incident on Twitter showed bloodied bodies strewn across a courtyard where the top part of the crane, which appeared to have bent or snapped, had crashed into the building that was several storeys high.

A video on YouTube showed people screaming and rushing around right after a massive crash was heard and as fog engulfed the city.

Earlier, an official from the Saudi Civil Defence Authority said stormy weather was responsible for toppling the crane.
For years, work has been underway on a 400,000-square-metre expansion of the Grand Mosque to allow it to accommodate up to 2.2 million people at once.

Abdel Aziz Naqoor, who said he works at the mosque, said the casualty toll would have been higher had a covered walkway which surrounds the holy Kaaba not broken the crane’s fall.

The Kaaba is the huge cube-shaped structure at the centre of the mosque towards which Muslims worldwide pray.

Om Salma, a Moroccan pilgrim, said “our phones have not stopped ringing since yesterday with relatives calling to check on us”.

“I wish I had died in the accident, as it happened at a holy hour and in a holy place,” Egyptian pilgrim Mohammed Ibrahim said.

Indonesians and Indians were among those killed when the crane collapsed.

“Suddenly, I heard thunder and then we heard a very loud noise. That was the sound of the crane falling,” Mohammed, a Moroccan pilgrim, said.

Another visitor, Ahmed from Egypt, said he and those around him were “very scared, hysterical even”.

A Saudi official said the Hajj, expected to start on September 21, would go ahead despite the tragedy.

The pilgrimage is a must for all able-bodied Muslims who can afford it.

An engineer for the Saudi Binladin Group, the developer, said the crane had been installed in “an extremely professional way” and that there had been no technical problem.

Saudi Binladin Group belongs to the family of the late Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.

Philadelphia couple Ross Cohen and Blair Delson were taking a few pictures to immortalise the biggest day of their life when 3000 naked cyclist photobombed them, reports Associated Press.

Before getting married on the evening of August 29, Cohen and Delson were taking a few romantic photo at Dilworth Plaza, next to City Hall in Philadelphia when this herd of 3000 bicyclists approached them.

Delson decided she would like this moment to be more memorable and grabbed her dress and hurried towards the cyclists. Cohen lifted Delson and twirled her around, and together they high-fived the nude cyclists, who serenaded them with cheers.

An alleged sex video of pro-Patel reservation crusader Hardik Patel has been doing the rounds on social media and was sent to all media organisations recently. While it is extremely unlikely that the video is of Hardik Patel, this is not the first time that leaders who have gone against the establishment or tried to disturb the apple cart have been defamed by sexual slur.

Sanjay Joshi:

Sanjay Joshi was the link between RSS and BJP in Gujarat. Increasingly, he was becoming a threat to the ruling leadership in Gujarat with his sound organizational skill. In 2005, a sex video was leaked that virtually rocked Sanjay Joshi’s political career. RSS did get him back in their fold in 2007, but he never regained his old clout. Sanjay Joshi currently remains a lonely figure, brutally shorn of his past prominence.

Sanjeev Bhatt:

IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt has had a history of taking on the Gujarat government post the 2002 riots. He has been serving suspension from 2011. On August 14, 2015 , he was served a show-cause notice to explain his alleged relationship with an unknown woman. The show-cause was given on the basis of a sex video leaked online. Bhatt on his part categorically denied that he was in the video and asked for a detailed probe to clear his name. Bhatt has been now expelled from service.

Digvijay Singh:

Digvijay Singh has had a habit of getting under the skin of his opponents. He is one of the most outspoken Congress leaders who has never backtracked from speaking his mind. Some time ago, pictures of Digvijay Singh with a much younger lady flashed on social media. It caused much embarrassment to the veteran Congress leader. However, going by his outspoken nature, the pictures have not dented Digvijay’s stature too much.

Abhishek Manu Singhvi:

During the worst phase of UPA rule, Abhishek Manu Singhvi was one spokesperson who was articulating Congress’ views very ably. Point by point, he was puncturing holes in the opposition’s claim about how inept the UPA government was. Then suddenly out of the blue, an MMS purportedly of Singhvi caught in a compromising position surfaced. Congress had to temporarily withdraw him from appearing on TV. He is back now, but Congress is no longer in power too.

Are all these merely coincidental or is there a larger force behind it? We will probably never know, but it is intriguing nonetheless.

Sheena Bora, the Mumbai girl allegedly murdered by her own mother, was a troubled teenager and fought for acceptance and love and care of her parents. The diary entries Sheena made as a young girl in Guwahati first expresses her love for Indrani, and then later in life, her hate for her mother.

In her diaries, accessed by dna, Sheena jotted down study notes, slam notes from friends, phone numbers and letters to her father. It is apparent that she was sad about not being around her biological father Siddhartha Das and repeatedly urged him to come and visit her. This is contrary to what Siddhartha Das told the media about his correspondence with Sheena Bora being barely in touch with him.

In fact, in one of her earlier entries, she writes that she is angry with him. “Daddy, I am very angry with you. O.k. I didn’t get any time to write any letter to you but you should have written to me. Very mean ha! Well, even I am sorry for not writing any letter to you. In Class X, we have to work very hard. In the morning at 7.30. We have to go to school and again I have to attend my maths coaching class 3 O’clock to 4.30 pm and again from 6 O’clock to 8 O’clock my science coaching class. I reach home at about 8.30 pm. Hope you can imagine how hard I’m working.”

Sheena started writing her diary sometime in 2003, when she was in standard X. Her letters to her father reflects that she had great expectations from him. It seems that she first drafted letters to her father in diary and then posted them to him.

She writes: “Daddy, I’ve cut my nails and I haven’t grown them long. I’m following your advice – first studies then style. I know you have a lot to tell me but daddy don’t write anything in any of your letter. I hope you’ll come once before my HSLC exams. Why don’t you make a trip to Guwahati in December. Then you can tell me everything you wanted me to know.”

In another ‘draft’ letter, Sheena enquires from Sidharth which caste she belongs to! “Daddy actually I’m facing a problem. For my HSLC, I’m to fill up some forms and there we are to write to which caste we belong. Daddy, I’m really very confused for I am not sure about my caste. We have got the options – Schedule/OBC/…,” she writes.

In another entry, from the time when she had just appeared for her pre-boards, usually held by the school, she writes that she was sick and could not study much, and that she scored 84%. She even kind of scolded her father for depending on her maternal uncles. She pleaded that he should not start a new venture with two of her mamas, because one of them is looking for a job and will jump the gun the moment he lands a good one. “Don’t you have the capability of starting something from (sic) your own instead of depending upon others,” she asks. She further asks him to give up the job at HITACHI KK and look for a better one.

But then, in the same letter to her father, she turns sheepish. “Oh! It seems as if I am trying to guide you,” she writes.

Sheena then asked him to try and get a certificate, “because this certificate could provide me with scholarships for my further studies,” she writes. She tells him that there are lot of expenses, and that he should do this for her future. The diary entry is marked June 28, 29 and 30.

Given the contents of the letters to her father, it seems that she was in touch with Siddharth Das. An old classmate of Sheena, who now lives in North India, corroborated the same. “I met him in Sheena’s house in 2001, when we were in the eighth standard. She introduced him to me as her father,” said the friend.

In one of her later entries, which looks like it was written when she was studying for the board exams in the tenth standard, after her pre-board exams, she said that she does not know how to look for envelopes, and so has been unable to send letters. In the entry, in which she looks like she is unhappy with her grandparent’s attitude towards Siddharth, she tells him that she wants to talk with Siddharth but cannot ring him up. “They say you are no good, and they don’t like you. But my conscience does not allow me to believe them,” she wrote.

She goes on to say that she does not know much about her mother. She writes that she doesn’t know whether her mother remembers her or not, but because Indrani is her mother, she “is I the corner of my heart,” she writes. It must be added here that Sheena also kept clippings of news reports of her mother. News reports of INX media launching new channels, of Indrani being considered WSJ’s most powerful women with Indra Nooyi and others, etc. were kept by Sheena in a folder.

But she was very lonely as a child. She writes: “Oh! Happy Birthday to me! But I am not happy. It seems as if I have got nothing in my life. Nothing! My future seems very bleak to me. Just depression has encircled me from all sides. Disgusting life it is. I hate my mother, that bloody b***h. She is not a mother. She is a witch…”

Sheena was also not happy when Indrani married Peter Mukerjea. “And now she got married with that old man (Peter Mukerjea). Her this act to Aita & Kaka (Sheena’s grandparents) seems very prestigious, very wise, but not in case of me (Read: my grandparents may find this prestigious or wise, but not me). I hate her. I wish her soul gets condemned and even in hell. I have much grief, much tears to flow but when, where and in front of whom.”

Mumbai: Ten days after being grilled by the Mumbai Police over her role in the murder of her daughter Sheena Bora, TV tycoon Indrani Mukherjea is said to have admitted to her role in the murder. Police sources say that Indrani has told the police of the circumstances behind Sheena’s murder.

Indrani has been accused of murdering Sheena along with her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna and her driver Shyam Rai.

A local court had earlier extended the police custody of the three accused – Indrani, Sanjeev Khanna and Shyam Rai – till September 5.

Peter Mukerjea, who has been married to Indrani for 13 years and set up a media company with her, had first said that he was unaware that Sheena was his wife’s daughter and that Indrani had introduced her as her sister.

A few days after Indrani’s arrest, Peter amended his version to say Sheena did inform him that she was his step-daughter, but he had no reasons not to believe his wife Indrani’s denial of that claim though he found it “difficult to digest”. He claimed that the same thing was communicated to him by his son Rahul Mukerjea, but he had not believed him as well.

Peter maintained that he vaguely remembered the date when he was told about the fact and it was sometime in 2011.

Sheena Bora was in a relationship with Rahul, Peter Mukerjea’s son from an earlier marriage, when she was allegedly murdered on April 24, 2012. The 24-year-old was allegedly strangled in a car, then her body was burnt and dumped at a forest in Raigad, about 84 km from Mumbai.

Her purported remains were found a month later and buried by the police, which treated the body as unclaimed. For three years, Indrani Mukerjea told her family and friends that Sheena had shifted to the US.

Ratna Singh the daring girl who chose to become a naturalist in spite of having a degree in International Law. Perhaps the surroundings of Bandhagarh National Park where she was brought up brought her back to nature. She truly loves nature and in the course of conversation she stresses that the comfort of the cities with internet, wifi Skype is not available but the fresh aroma and air of the jungles and its animals is no comparison to these materialistic things.

Tara Singh started her career as Safari Guide in 2006 when she was the first lady in the profession. In a question as to how difficult it was as a female to join this profession she says her immediate family members had no objection but the far off relatives were a bit apprehensive. But later on as she progressed everything settled down. She here also makes it a point that the gender issue in the cities is more prevalent than in the villages and tribal people. The tribals have gender equality. At first the tribals were a bit apprehensive too but as time went by and the activities like tracking animals that she showed in her performance they were impressed. In fact because of her performance she was more respected than her male counter parts.

When RealNews of India asked how difficult it is to work in the jungles. Prompt came the reply you have to understand the nature and the jungle. She further added the caution is required. We have to check the ground for snakes, feel the smell of animals and guess the distance. She even shared a scary incident to Real News. After attending a party she was returning back to her quarters she felt a big shadow of a leopard appear in front of her. She remained still. With animals if you move or start running they will come after you. So she remained still for ten minutes and was a bit relieved. Just to ensure more of her safety she added ten more minutes then she heard footsteps first, at slow space then becoming faster and more distant. She now knew that the leopard and left and now she was safe.

As a naturalist she encourages city people to visit such wildlife sanctuaries to be away from the wild traffic, the congestion and time bound life. She says you have to feel the fresh air and the surrounding and you will love it Ratna further says.

She along these years has also imparted training to a number of females. Ratna says women become better naturalist as they are more hardworking and patient.

Comparing wildlife to Africa and Australia Ratna defines that they are much better in terms of variety and the laws relating to wildlife is stricter in India. However there are two rare species that others do not have, that is the tiger and bear. The tiger and deer are found in Central and North India.

In a question as to how these wildlife sanctuaries effect the fast moving development of a country Ratna says it is a difficult equation for the government, but if we cannot breathe then what sense does modernization make, Ratna says, making the whole world wake up and realize.
