In a week's time the seed has turned into a sapling which threatens to cause friction between the two. That Tanisha is a dominating captain is also something that has not gone down too well with the housemates.

Comedian Johny Lever tried to keep his daughter Jamie J away from the glare of showbiz, but she was too talented to ignore.
If veteran comic Johny Lever had his way, he would have kept both his children, daughter Jamie Janumala, 25, and son Jesse Janumala, 23, at arm’s length from the vagaries of the entertainment industry. He almost succeeded with Jamie. Till August 2012 she was a marketing executive at the London-based market research agency Visiongain with a passion for music, theatre, dance and, not surprisingly, stand-up comedy.

This is probably the best and biggest news for the YSR Congress in a whole year. For a party that is desperately clutching at straws to keep afloat, the news of the release of its leader Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, needless to say, evoked celebrations that are unprecedented.
The overjoyed YSR Congress Party (YSRP) workers distributed sweets to everyone in sight, shouting slogans and spilling over into streets. Some were even seen hugging the policemen deployed on security duty at the court.

More than 15 million tonnes of onions are consumed in the country per year. An important part of the Indian cuisine, its prices have gone up by more than 500 per cent since 2004. With five Assembly elections in a few months time, it could become a “big headache” for the UPA. Little wonder, the government is showing great alacrity in organising supply of 2,000 tonnes of onions from Afghanistan via Attari border over the next few days, to bring some relief in the prices of the tearjerker vegetable.

The Telugu Desam Party, led by Chandrababu Naidu, might be one of the first allies that Narendra Modi would have won for the BJP after becoming the party’s Prime Ministerial candidate.
Though Naidu has remained steadfastly focused on UPA-bashing and refused to commit to joining the NDA, modalities for a alliance has already been worked out and an announcement will be made soon.

It’s a daily scene at the busy Gariahat crossing in Kolkata. Traffic is barreling down in all directions. Minibuses make screeching right turns at breakneck speed. The tramline in the middle of the street has been dug up and is a giant crater occupying half the road, marked by corrugated metal walls and little red flags. Taxis and autos dodge buses to try and squeeze by the construction onto a narrow stretch of the road also teeming with pedestrians pushed onto the street because the sidewalk is taken over by hawkers.

Pushing for uniform civil code, BJP's Subramanian Swamy, in the city for a book release, said it was against the natural law to have more than one wife. According to BJP’s Dr Subramanian Swamy, veteran lawyer and former law minister Ram Jethmalani is acting against the law of nature by virtue of having multiple girlfriends.
Swamy, who himself was law minister, said while talking about the necessity of a uniform civil code, “Ram Jethmalani has two wives… He has many girlfriends.”
Asked what his remark was meant to convey, Swamy said, “I wasn’t criticising Jethmalani. He’s open about it. But I stick to the point that having more than one wife is against the natural law.”
