A local Indian television channel had reported that Naresh Kumar (name changed), 18, of Deshrajpur village in Vaishali district, was medically examined by his doctor and found pregnant.

Rs.15.5 Lakhs for a VIP Mobile number

If India's economic liberalization is fruitful or not, here is an interesting story which shall make you believe that post economic liberalization Indians are indeed becoming rich. Take the case of this 26-year-old Amit Malhotra from Ludhiana city in Punjab state of India, son of a city garment manufacturer and property dealer, who spent a whopping Rs 15.50 lakhs (US$ 38,500) for the big-ticket mobile number 9780000000. It was just for a status symbol -- owning a VIP cell phone number like that!!!!

His father, Vijay Malhotra, was quoted as saying that this isn't something new for his son, and that he has always chosen VIP numbers as belongings. Just that this time round, he's blown up a huge amount of money on it...

All said, while a part of India that is seen as rich and fat might pride itself on this kind of obscenely ostentatious spending, what about the phone company -- in this case Hutch -- which actually conducted an auction of the VIP cell phone numbers?

Amit, who had previously applied for such a number; went through a phone auction that lasted from Tuesday morning through Wednesday evening, and haggled alongside 4 other eager customers to eventually seal the big win.

Religion makes man cut his tongue

Blind faith in anything can be dangerous many times & can lead to a mishap as it blinds ones intellect & clouds the rational reasoning. Something similar has happened, when in a bizarre incident, during "Navratras" festival , one man from Ludhiana city in Punjab state of India cut his own tongue to offer it to goddess "Kali". "Navratras" is a religious festival of the Hindus, where people worship Goddess Durga & Kali by fasting & performing religious ceremonies during nine days period of the festival.

Man was immediately rushed to the government civil hospital here on Monday after he cut his own tongue to offer it to the goddess.

Doctors at the civil hospital performed a surgery on the man after people rushed him there as he was bleeding profusely.

The doctors were able to stitch the tongue back.

So here is a classic example when religion makes one do weird acts in the name of religion.
