Nudity v/s Aesthetics: To show or not to show
Clothing did not evolve merely to mask a particular part of the body. Across the international spectrum, there are conspicuous inconsistencies about which parts of the body people elect to cover, if they choose any part at all. In some places, the feet are to be covered for the sake of modesty. In other places, women's lips are believed to be so seductive that wearing veils in public is imperative.
Everywhere, customs and traditions symbolically confirm human uniqueness in the biological world. Some maintain this dichotomy by equating public nudity with bestiality. But things are changing. Over the last 10 years, the Indian audience, specially the Y generation, has developed a liberal approach towards body display in films, though not so much on television except on the news channels that generously display clippings from Indian films with partially clothed men and women. But public display of the human form with minimum or no clothing still evokes disgust and ridicule making viewers feel uncomfortable.

No clean chit yet to any politician in cash-for-votes scam: Delhi Police
New Delhi: Delhi Police have made clear that no clean chit has been given to any politician in the cash-for-votes scam yet. Sources say investigations are still on and several politicians are still under the scanner, including former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh.
The police sources rubbished a newspaper report today that claimed that the Delhi Police had found no politician guilty and that its investigation was now focused on a middleman it had arrested called Suhail Hindustani. The police deny this and sources claimed that they have clear evidence of what they call "Amar Singh's complicity in the case". And that several BJP MPs too are still being investigated.

Sadananda Gowda named new Chief Minister of Karnataka
Bangalore: Sadananda Gowda will be Karnataka's new Chief Minister.
The BJP's 121 MLAs voted for Mr Gowda through secret ballot at a legislature party meeting held at Bangalore's Capitol Hotel on Wednesday afternoon. Senior BJP leaders Arun Jaitley and Rajnath Singh supervised the voting, once it was clear that no consensus on one name was possible.
Earlier, MLAs were seen arriving in buses, cheering loudly for Mr Yeddyurappa - he claimed he has the support of over 70. Another lot showed up brandishing the Victory sign - they were part of a camp of about 50 MLAs led by Ananth Kumar. The meeting was delayed as each leader sought to convince the central leaders that his man be the next CM. So divided is the BJP at the moment that there were differences even in the way the two camps wanted the voting done - the Yeddyurappa camp wanted open voting while the Ananth kumar camp favoured the secret ballot.

A captain loses respect if he doesn't perform, feels Gavaskar

Dhoni will lose respect if he doesn't perform, feels Gavaskar
Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni will need to play well in order to keep respect that he commands from his teammates intact, feels former India captain Sunil Gavaskar.
The legendary opener who is here as a commentator also feels that a captain do himself a world of good if he addresses his batting and wicketkeeping problems at the earliest for his team's sake.
"The moment the captain's performance starts to fall down, that's when he starts losing command and respect in the dressing room and that's where he needs to look at not just his batting but also his keeping," Gavaskar said.
Dhoni's poor captaincy, shoddy glovework and atrocious batting have been some of the reasons for India's disastrous show during the first two Test matches.
Dhoni has so far scored 49 runs in the four innings with a highest score of 28 and an average of 12.50.

Captain Cool is feeling the heat
| Just three months ago, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the darling of a billion people and the toast of a cricket-crazy nation. | |
 Columnists and commentators had run of adjectives to describe the Jharkhandi as he took India to World Cup glory in Mumbai in April. However, following two embarrassing defeats in as many Tests against England, the Indian skipper’s world appears to have turned upside down. From captain courageous, he has now been branded captain clueless. Three months, Dhoni must be thinking, can be too long in cricket. There have been instances in the past when Dhoni has come under flak, notably after India’s failed campaigns in World T20s in 2009 (in England) and 2010 (in the West Indies), but never has his captaincy come under such sharp focus before. | |
