Indore Fans celebrated Shah Rukh’s Birthday with a unique cake

Indore Fans celebrated Shah Rukh’s Birthday
with a unique cake made with the city’s famous snacks !


Everyone knows that the King Khan commands an enormous fan following across the globe and his die-hard fans often do special things for their heartthrob every year on his birthday. This year too, he received a pleasant surprise ahead of his birthday at the recent Indore auditions of Zee TV’s tour in search of India’s happiest dancer – Dil Se Naachein Indiawaale.
SRK fans who came to watch the show brought something which was quite unheard of- a gigantic cake made of Indore’s famous snacks (farsan), which became quite the center of attraction for everyone at the auditorium. This three-tier cake was made with a lot of precision that it was difficult to imagine how anyone could have made it at home! It look liked the job of a professional chef to say the least! Along with the audience, Shah Rukh’s fellow judges on the show – Deepika, Boman, Abhishek, Vivaan and Farah surprised him too by doing a special performance on his blockbuster songs. An overwhelmed Shah Rukh was extremely touched by his fans in Indore and thanked them for making his birthday so special.
To watch all this masti and more, stay tuned to ‘Maruti Suzuki Alto K 10 Dil Se Naachein Indiawaale Co-powered byAskmebazaar.com & L’Oreal Paris Fall Repair 3X’ every Saturday and Sunday at 9 PM, only on Zee TV.

This follows a similar delegation earlier in the year on offshore wind, and a joint workshop in South Africa on biofuels. Renewable energies have also been the subject for significant joint research funding, including two of the Industrial R&D grants awarded recently. For a full picture of the funded projects, please see RCUK’s summary. And, with the food-water-energy nexus identified as a priority for the Newton Bhabha programme, that support is likely to continue. Let us know if you have ideas for future events that we could help with!

Dear partners and friends of Cologne,
In order to make Cologne even better known as a travel destination, we have launched a broad range of activities. One project is the presentation of Cologne’s wonderful range of cultural attractions in the Yearbook of Cultural Brands. This is an outstanding platform for coming into contact with potential sponsorship partners. To advertise our marketing focus for 2014/2015 we produced a video clip on the theme of “Holy Cologne”, one of further videos on central touristic topics of Cologne.
Kind regards
Josef Sommer
The “cultural brand” quality seal

The yearbook serves as an expert reference work for interested companies who would like to make a name for themselves by sponsoring a cultural event or institution. Through this cooperation Cologne has received the right for one year to call itself a “cultural brand”.»
Cologne Tourist Board trains new city guides
The Cologne Tourist Board provides more than 7,500 city tours for visitors every year. It offers tours based on over 100 different themes in 15 languages for groups.

Luis Miranda takes over as Chairman of the Board at Centre for Civil Society

30102014
Former Private Equity leader Luis Miranda takes over as Chairman of the Board at Centre for Civil Society
New Delhi-based Centre for Civil Society (CCS) has named Luis Miranda, former Chairman of IDFC Private Equity as the Chairman of its Board of Trustees. Luis takes over from Ashish Dhawan, Founder and CEO of Central Square Foundation (CSF) who formerly ran private equity fund, ChrysCapital.
Luis founded IDFC Private Equity in 2002 and served as the Chief Executive Officer and President at the firm until 2010. He was earlier a senior member of the start-up team at HDFC Bank. He is Senior Advisor, Morgan Stanley Infrastructure and is involved with various non-profits related to human rights, education and health care. Luis got his MBA from Chicago Booth, where he was influenced by Chicago School economists George Stigler, Gary Becker and Gene Fama.
Talking about the strategic role of think-tanks like Centre for Civil Society, Luis said “India still ranks abysmally low on a number of world rankings on important indicators like ease of doing business, economic freedom, competitiveness and innovation; in fact, it’s ranking has declined over the last few years. Modi’s recently launched ‘Make in India’ campaign, Jan Dhan Yojana for financial inclusion of hitherto unbanked Indians and the abolition of Planning Commission are welcome steps towards ensuring ‘maximum governance, minimum government’. However, this ecosystem needs to be complemented by organisations like Centre for Civil Society, which could potentially offer interventions to change systems in India and work on public policy solutions to make the country more market-oriented.”
In his new role as Chairman of Board of Trustees of CCS, Luis will provide strategic direction and energize CCS’ initiatives in education, livelihood and policy training as the organisation works toward promoting choice and accountability across private and public sectors.
On his appointment, Luis said “CCS has always stood for the basic right to freedom and choice. What is unique about CCS, is that we continue to relentlessly raise these ideas to ensure that they do not get lost in public policy discourses where individual rights are trampled upon, where markets are undermined and big government leads to inefficient allocation of resources. We remain focused on engaging more meaningfully with policy and opinion leaders to bring about social change through sound public policies.”




BOTH MAYA N AKHILESH FAIL TO CONTAIN RIOTS IN UP

30102014

Both Maya n Akhilesh fail to contain riots in UP.
मायावती हों या अखिलेश यादव, दोनों सीएम  यूपी के दंगों पर लगाम लगाने में
पूर्णतया विफल : Compared to year 2010, riots in UP increase by 19.97%
in 2011, by 35.57% in 2012 & by 45% in 2013 साल 2010 के मुकाबले 2011
में 19.97%,2012 में 35.57% और 2013 में 45% बढ़ीं हैं दंगों की घटनाएं  :
UP Govt. is a mere ‘Riots Bank’ महज ‘दंगा बैंक’ बनकर रह गयी है यूपी
की सरकारें
जी हाँ l उत्तर प्रदेश में चाहें  मायावती हों या अखिलेश यादव, ये दोनों
ही सीएम  के रूप में दावे तो बड़े बड़े करते रहे पर यूपी के दंगों पर लगाम
लगाने में पूर्णतः  विफल ही रहे हैं l इस कड़वी हक़ीक़त का खुलासा सामाजिक
संस्था ‘तहरीर’*  के संस्थापक ई० संजय शर्मा की एक आरटीआई पर राष्ट्रीय
अपराध रिकॉर्ड ब्यूरो के जन सूचना अधिकारी के०  पी०  उदय शंकर द्वारा दिए
गए एक जबाब से हुआ है l
*’तहरीर’  { Transparency, Accountability & Human Rights’ Initiative
for Revolution – TAHRIR }  लोक जीवन में पारदर्शिता संवर्धन, जबाबदेही
निर्धारण और आमजन के मानवाधिकारों के संरक्षण के हितार्थ उत्तर प्रदेश
में जमीनी स्तर पर कार्यशील संस्था  है l
संजय को उपलब्ध कराई गयी सूचना के अनुसार उत्तर  प्रदेश में साल  2010
में 4186,साल 2011  में 5022 ,साल 2012  में 5676 और साल 2013  में
दंगों की 6089 घटनाएं  सरकारी आंकड़ों में दर्ज हैं l  गौरतलब है  कि वर्ष
2010 से मार्च 2012 तक सूबे की कमान मायावती के हाथ में थी और मार्च 2012
से वर्ष 2013 तक की अवधि में अखिलेश यादव  सूबे के मुखिया  रहे हैं lइन
आकड़ों से स्पष्ट है कि उत्तर  प्रदेश में साल 2011  में साल  2010 के
मुकाबले  दंगों की 836  अधिक घटनाएं        (19.97%) हुईं l  साल 2012
में साल  2010 के मुकाबले  दंगों की 1489  अधिक घटनाएं (35.57%)  हुईं तो
वही साल 2013    में साल  2010 के मुकाबले  दंगों की 1903  अधिक घटनाएं
(45%) हुईं हैं l
संजय कहते हैं कि इन आकड़ों के साल-दर-साल विश्लेषण से  भी यह स्पष्ट है
कि उत्तर  प्रदेश में साल 2011  में साल  2010 के मुकाबले  दंगों की 836
अधिक घटनाएं  ( 19.97%) हुईं l  साल 2012  में साल  2011  के मुकाबले
दंगों की 654  अधिक घटनाएं ( 13.02%) हुईं तो वही साल 2013    में साल
2012  के मुकाबले  दंगों की 413  अधिक घटनाएं (6.78%) हुईं हैं जो  यह
सिद्ध कर रहा है कि साल 2010 से 2013 तक यूपी में लगातार दंगों की घटनाओं
में वृद्धि ही हो रही है और फिर चाहें वह  मायावती के नेतृत्व में  बनी
बहुजन समाज पार्टी की सरकार हो या  अखिलेश यादव के नेतृत्व में बनी
समाजवादी पार्टी की सरकार, सभी सरकारें  दंगे रोकने के मामले में महज
कोरी वयानवाजी कर जनता को गुमराह ही करती  रही हैं और दंगों को रोकने में
पूर्णतया विफल रही हैं l
सूबे में दंगों की संख्या में हो रही  बेतहाशा उत्तरोत्तर वृद्धि पर तंज
कसते हुए संजय कहते है कि इतनी तेजी से तो बैंक में रखा पैसा भी नहीं
बढ़ता है और सरकार को दंगों का उच्च व्याजदर पर डिपाजिट कर जनता को व्याज
समेत बापस करने बाले ‘दंगा बैंक’ की संघ्या दी है l  l
दंगों को उत्तर प्रदेश के सामाजिक और आर्थिक विकास के रास्ते की सबसे बड़ी
वाधा बताते हुए संजय ने कहा कि दंगों के परिपेक्ष्य में प्रशासनिक अमले
और स्थानीय जनप्रतिनिधियों की स्पष्ट जबाबदेही के अभाव के कारण ही
प्रशासनिक अमला  और स्थानीय जनप्रतिनिधि दंगों को रोकने के उपायों के
क्रियान्वयन के प्रति गंभीर नहीं हैं और सरकारें भी दंगे हो जाने के बाद
महज सरकारी खानापूर्ति कर मामले की इतिश्री कर देती हैं पर दंगों का असली
दंश स्थानीय जनता सालों साल झेलती रहती है l
संजय ने अब दंगों के परिपेक्ष्य में प्रशासनिक अमले  और स्थानीय
जनप्रतिनिधियों की स्पष्ट जबाबदेही के निर्धारण के लिए  सामाजिक संस्था
‘तहरीर’ के माध्यम से एक व्यापक मुहिम  चलाने का ऐलान करते हुए इस
सम्बन्ध में देश  के प्रधानमंत्री , गृहमंत्री और  सूबे के राज्यपाल,
मुख्यमंत्री को पत्र लिखकर प्रशासनिक अमले  और स्थानीय जनप्रतिनिधियों को
दंगों को रोकने के उपायों के क्रियान्वयन के प्रति गंभीर बनाने हेतु
उनकी स्पष्ट जबाबदेही का निर्धारण करने हेतु नियम-कानून  बनाने  की मांग
करने का  भी ऐलान किया  है l
आरटीआई जबाब की स्कैन्ड प्रति इस मेल के साथ अटैच्ड है l
