WHERE diplomacy fails, Bollywood usually takes over. There has been no exception even with the piquant Chinese.
Chinese soldiers who have come toBelgaum for a week’s joint military exercise with the Indian army cannot stop humming songs from Shah Rukh Khan movies like Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Mohabbatein.
The 137 infantry toughies from China have in fact collectively memorised the entire Mohabbatein number ‘Aankhein khuli ho ya ho bandh’ along with the Indian national anthem, and have been regaling the Indian side with some memorable renditions over raucously cheerful and backslapping dinners.
The Sanchayni Circle (Police Qtrs Maruti Circle) in camp is in darkness. This is a important circle enroute to Bogarves just 100 mtrs from Bogarves.
The circle is not illuminated for years. There is no traffic island in the center, which causes minor accidents all the time. To add to these hardships the road round the corner from Bogarves to Khanapur road has some innumerable potholes of all sizes and depths. This VDO is taken from the same spot. What is visible (other than in the headlights) is DARK reality.
In my 30 years, I have never seen a street lamp in this circle nor a Himast lamps as put all over Belgaum, just see the one in Bogarves just 100 mtrs away.
The cantonment should look into this matter at the earliest and install Himast Street lamps at this circle so that riding at night would be come easier.
A six-year-old boy, Aniket Chindak is hoping to enter the record books after limbo-skating under 57 cars in less than a minute. Aniket has already created an unofficial world record by squeezing himself under a row of 57 four-wheel drive cars in 45 seconds. With legs split, chest bent forward and chin almost skimming along the road, Aniket is no more than eight inches above the ground when he vanishes under the vehicles in Belgaum.
The wonder-kid, who started skating when he was 18-months-old, is now training for four hours a day and plans to break his world record of 57 cars with a 100-car skate in New Delhi.
