Many Students Become Salman's Fan After 'Being Virgin'

By Paagal Patrkaar | Delhi

SATIRE  Hordes of engineering, management, pharmacy, biotechnology and medicine students became emotional and started crying after watching Salman Khan confess on Koffee with Karan that he was still a virgin.

“Now I know why he rammed his land cruiser over a pavement dweller, or why he behaves in such a retarded manner. Being a virgin myself I can understand the frustration in him which makes him do things that he has done,” said Gopal (name not changed as he’s no more ashamed of being virgin) of Indraprasth Institute of Technology.

“If a good looking guy like Salman can remain a virgin for 48 years then there is no shame in being a virgin. In fact, I am proud to be a virgin now,” added Gopal, who is now in the final year of his electrical engineering course and still waiting for that girl on Facebook to accept his friend request.

Redrawing Telangana: A New Political Strategy To Anvil

By Sonam Shekhar | Hyderabad

The Centre is reportedly planning to redraw the boundaries of the proposed Telangana state to include two more districts, in a controversial move that the opposition alleges holds political benefits for the Congress.

The proposed new entity called ''Rayala-Telangana' is expected to include the Rayalaseema districts of Anantapur and Kurnool, besides the 10 Telangana districts. The two states carved out of Andhra Pradesh will then each have 21 Lok Sabha and 147 assembly constituencies. 

Bigg Boss-7: Is Ajaz's Apology To Gauahar, Kushal A Sham?

By Naureen Malik | Mumbai

With just a month left for the reality show 'Bigg Boss 7' to get over, the contestants are expected to do just about everything to ensure they are evicted. 'Weekend Ka Wow Salman Ke Saath 7' too kicked off with Salman Khan making the viewers aware of the pressure contestants have to combat to perform well to win the show.

Armaan Kohli, who wasn't evicted from the Bigg Boss house, but shifted to the bonus room, was welcomed by Salman with a live feed of what was going on inside the Bigg Boss house. When asked for his reaction to fake eviction, Armaan said, "Bada strange hai, weird hai. Mai toh hass raha hoon kafi time se andar baeth ke.... Mujhe boarding school yaad aa gayi. I feel bad for Tanishaa."

Sonia Gandhi Counts In World's Top 5 'Billionaire' Leaders

By Sarah Williams | INN Live

Here is a piece of news that could make rumour mongers happy. Congress President Sonia Gandhi is the 12th richest political leader in the world, says a report in a vernacular daily newspaper. 

With $2 billion wealth, Gandhi is even richer than, hold your breath, Elizabeth II, the Queen of England and Bashar Al-Assad, President of Syria. The list includes kings, presidents, sultans and queens with most rich leaders among the top 20 originating from the Middle East region.

To  arrive at the list, HuffPost compared each country’s GDP per capita juxtaposed with a leader’s personal net worth. It notes that this was to “show how different life is for the haves and have-nots.” India’s GDP per capita is $1,500, while Sonia Gandhi is worth $2 billion. 

Salman Tells Karan Johar He’s A 'Teetotaller And A Virgin'

By Niloufer Khan | Mumbai

Last night, the new season of Koffee With Karan had what was meant to be a blockbuster opening episode. Salman Khan, who rarely appears on interview shows, graced the Koffee With Karan set. If you’ve watched the show, then you know why Khan doesn’t go for interviews. 

Twelve hours later, I’m still trying to make sense of what he said. First, let’s focus for a moment on the return of Koffee with Karan, where stars come and go, none of them talk of Michalangelo. The “buzz” this season is that Karan Johar will interview stars in pairs (which he’s done before) and perhaps even in triplet (an ode to season three?). Next week, Kareena Kapoor Khan will be interviewed with her cousin, Ranbir Kapoor. 

Amazon CRM Reveals It Wants To Deploy Delivery Drones

By Richard Shane | INN Live

Amazon offering delivery on Sunday was only the beginning. In an interview with Charlie Rose on Sunday's episode of "60 Minutes," Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos revealed the giant online store is developing a drone-based delivery service called Prime Air. According to Bezos, Prime Air would be able to get customers their products only a half-hour after they click the "buy" button. His "optimistic" estimate to "60 Minutes" was that Prime Air will be available to customers within 4 to 5 years.

Why The Idea Of 'Rayala Telangana' Is Back On Table?

By M H Ahssan | INN Live

"Can't say" was the cryptic reply by Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief minister, Damodar Rajanarasimha, when asked if the idea of Rayala Telangana state was gaining currency with the Group of Ministers (GoM). Rajanarasimha's reply, which also conveyed a crestfallen frame of mind, was a clear indication that the Centre was hardly open about what it planned to do with Andhra Pradesh. It was only when Rajanarasimha was asked for his reaction to a possible Rayala Telangana state by a Congress leader during his visit to Delhi last week that realisation dawned on him that Rayala Telangana as a proposal had not been dumped.  

Think Fast: Power Crisis Looming Large In Andhra Pradesh

By Venkat Rao | Hyderabad

Power sector in the State is facing a piquant situation that holds the potential of turning into a crisis in the coming months thanks to the local agitations and transport problems in Odisha.

Power generation from the 2000 MW (4X500 MW) NTPC Simhadri power plant in Visakhapatnam has almost stopped for want of coal from the Talcher coal fields in Odisha.

The State gets dedicated supply of 1,000 MW from the central generating station while a portion of the balance power would be allocated depending on the need.
