Faith is an integral part of the Indian culture but did you know that a section of homeless people eke out their daily living from the modest coins dropped as offerings into the Yamuna river?
A nearly 22 minute-long documentary titled 'In Search of Destiny (Coin Divers)' by Aakash Arun attempts to throw light into the lives of coin divers numbering around 400-500 and living near the much polluted but equally, if not more, revered Yamuna that flows through here.
The film begins with a train chugging on a bridge and people 'offering' coins to the Yamuna and subsequently praying for their wishes. It is followed by a shot where a child is seen hurling a dumbbell-shaped greasy object into the river and tugging the rope. The camera zooms into the dumbbell-shaped object and you see one shining coin stuck to it. Later on the scene focuses on two men who narrate how they receive sustenance from the Yamuna in the form of coins.
"The men are part of the marginalised section which is not only homeless and helpless but also are susceptible to the hills of addiction, says Arun. Nearly 60 per cent of these coin drivers in the national capital are in the grip of some form of addiction. These people are not to difficult to find out. Most of them are present in a radius of 4-6 km of the bridge over Yamuna that can be reached from Kashmere Gate, according to the film's narration.
"Coin divers on an average find coins worth Rs 100 daily," says Arun adding that earning goes up on few occasions when luck smiles upon them in the form of trinkets, heavy metallic objects that fetch decent prices. The documentary was shot entirely using a DSLR camera which, he said, could be brought out in the open only after he could gain confidence of the coin divers.
The fact that Yamuna plays a pivotal role in these people's lives can be easily grasped by viewers. "Yamuna is all encompassing. She gives shelter to all who comes to her. We sleep under the sky and sustain ourselves from her largesse (read coins)," says an elderly man in the documentary.

After successfully raising funds from the general public for the national award winning film 'I Am', producer duo Sanjay Suri and Onir are again taking the crowd-funding route for their new venture - a love story of a 14-year-old Dalit boy and an upper-caste girl.
"It's great to be acting in and co-producing 'Chauranga' with Onir. The story is about a 14-year-old Dalit boy who falls in love with a 16-year-old upper-caste girl from Jharkhand," Suri told PTI.
"I have an important role in the film, in which you will also see Radhika Apte (of 'I Am', 'Antaheen' fame)."
"It's great to be acting in and co-producing 'Chauranga' with Onir. The story is about a 14-year-old Dalit boy who falls in love with a 16-year-old upper-caste girl from Jharkhand," Suri told PTI.
"I have an important role in the film, in which you will also see Radhika Apte (of 'I Am', 'Antaheen' fame)."
The producers have taken the crowd funding route as they want the audience to be a part of the filmmaking process. A target of Rs 50 lakh from public audience has been set and people can contribute via the film's website.
"Apart from raising funds from general public, we have support of the National Films Development Corporation of India (NFDC). We've also received grant from Goteborg International Film Festival, Sweden and are in discussion with international co-producers," says director Bikas Ranjan Mishra.
Inspired by a true event, 'Chauranga' is a fictional account of six days in a dark corner of India. It's a story of the violence of class oppression that still exists in rural India.
The Dalit boy is growing up in an unnamed corner of India. His dream is to go to a town school like his elder brother and his reality is to look after the pig that his family owns.
His only escape is to sit atop a jamun tree and adore his beloved passing by on her scooter. His unspoken love is as true as his mother's helplessness who cleans the cowsheds of the local strongman's mansion, with whom she also has a secret liaison.
When the boy's elder brother comes on a vacation to the village, he soon finds out about his younger brother's infatuation. He tries to makes him realize the need to express his love. The film is at an advanced pre-production stage right now.
"Our cast is a fair mix of actors and non-actors. We've chosen to work with non-actors for our lead roles that happen to be kids. It's fun to work with children - you learn so much," says Mishra.

Asha Rani is mentored by Manjit Singh, 62, the Hoshiarpur-born strongman who has several records against his name, including pulling an airplane at the East Midlands airport bu a rope tied to his ears.
Manjit Singh said after Asha Rani's feat: "There is no specific training for this, it is mind over matter whether it be breaking glass with your head or lifting things with your ears. Rani started learning three or four years ago and now she's better than me."

The recent blackout in India highlights problems in the electricity sector, including ineffective distribution networks, loss-making providers and low capacity utilization of utilities. Despite improvements in recent years, as supply generation capacity has risen relative to demand, distribution losses have fallen, and the supply shortfall has shrunk, the Indian government’s production targets for the coming five years appear overly ambitious. The electricity shortfall is likely to remain due to coal shortages and lack of incentives for loss-making providers. Read More..

Bollywood actor Uday Chopra is all set to launch a new label of comic books, 'Yomics', based on Yash Raj movies like 'Dhoom' and 'Ek Tha Tiger'. The actor says that it is his passion for comics and graphic novels which has led him to embark on this endeavour.
"I love reading comics and it's my passion. Most people don't want to get into this (comics) because they don't want to put money into it. But I feel if I am able to create an industry which doesn't exist today, I will be the one to start it. But more than that, it is the love for comics which has led me to this," he said at the launch of 'Yomics' at Yash Raj Studios Tuesday.
Ek tha tiger from yomics.in |
There are four titles which are ready as of now; 'Dhoom', 'Ek Tha Tiger', 'Hum Tum' and a new character based comic called Daya Prochu. The actor says that the fifth title is in the pipeline and will be introduced during Diwali.
"Every month a new 'Yomic' will come. We will be adding the fifth title during Diwali. The new title is very different to 'Dhoom' and 'Ek tha tiger'. I want to give the readers something completely new," he said.
Daya Prochu is an original addition by Uday Chopra. He is shown to be a fun school-going boy and Chopra feels that everyone will be able to relate to him.
"Daya is a school child and his thoughts are different. We all have a Daya Prochu in us. We have all been bullied, but his character bullies other people. It's a fun character," he added.
Talking about the impact of his venture, Chopra says that it purely depends on how the audience accept this medium. He is introducing four titles together in the hope that different people will associate to and like different characters and will like to read more about them.
"The success of any skill depends on the audience. I am bringing out four titles together so that they might like at least one. They might identify with at least one character and people will like to read their stories. I will keep at it for a while," he added.
Chopra said his 'Yomics' are very different to conventional comic books which are available. Their look and feel makes them distinct.
"I have kept the art work very colourful and simple. It is not grim. Today's comics are very grim and dark. I want to stay away from that. I want to cater to a universal audience and make them feel happy about it. I will enter that realm also but right now I want to make them very appealing," he said.
The Yash Raj banner is known for its love sagas and these surely will not be kept out of their comic books. Chopra plans to introduce them eventually.
"I have thought about it. I don't know how they will do in a comic book format. This format needs action to get moving. But in the west they don't only have action comic books and I don't see any reason for not doing that here. We will love to do it in a while," he added

All About Sunny Leone: Sunny Leone asked for Randeep, Arunoday's medical reports, New official theatrical trailer, Maula song, title song, pics and latest news headlines from Jism 2, watch hot sizzling porn star Sunny Leone in "Jism 2" songs, A rated...
Sunny Leone says No to Big Boss
Sunny Leone says No to Big Boss
It was her big ticket to Bollywood - but Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone says she would never go back to the 'Bigg Boss' house. Sunny told IANS: "I would never go back to the house again...it is insane, it is crazy. But what it did for me is it opened the doors, opened a new world - something that I had never imagined."
The actress is foraying into Bollywood with 'Jism 2', which was offered to her by Mahesh Bhatt while she was in the "Big Boss" house.
"Bhatt saab came in the house and talked about doing a movie, this idea never crossed my mind. I thought I will exit the house and never come back to India... but complete opposite thing happened," she added.
Sunny says the reality shows in West are completely different from what we see in India. "If you compare the reality shows here to there (US), here those who come on the show become very popular and achieve huge success.
"In America, if you do a reality show, they don't care. They don't identify people when they walk on streets, but here it does happen like that," explained the 31-year-old.
Releasing Aug 3, 'Jism 2' has been directed by Pooja Bhatt and Sunny will be seen romancing Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda in it. ( IANS )
New hot erotic "Hey Walla" song from Jism 2
Sunny Leone asked for Randeep, Arunoday's medical reports
The actress apparently demanded to see medical certificates of her co-stars Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh before agreeing to shoot intimate scenes with them.
Ever since Sunny Leone signed the dotted lines for Pooja Bhatt's upcoming film co-starring Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh, she has consistently made headlines.
This will be her first Bollywood film, and buzz is that before shooting for the project, Sunny put a condition in front of Pooja. Apparently, the adult film actress demanded to see medical certificates of both her co-stars.
A source close to the film says, "Before Sunny was to join the cast and crew to shoot her portions, she sent an e-mail to Pooja demanding a medical certificate of Randeep and Arunoday with whom she was scheduled to shoot lovemaking sequences. In all fairness she also sent her own medical certificate. Basically, she wanted to make sure that she was not going to shoot with anyone who had any life threatening disease (Read HIV)."
The source explains, "Pooja Bhatt then told her that this was not the norm in Bollywood unlike for the adult films that Sunny does. The director also explained to her that she would not require to film sequences that she normally shoots for her adult films."
Finally, apparently no such medical certificate was shown to Sunny. The source states, "No one is aware what exactly happened and how Pooja convinced her." We wonder what Randeep and Arunoday had to say about this surprising demand. Pooja Bhatt remained unavailable for comment. (Mid -Day)

The first song from Sunny Leone, Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh starrer 'Jism 2' is out now. As the censor board gave an 'A' rating to the video, director Pooja Bhatt decided to release it on the internet. 'Jism 2' is one of the most awaited films of 2012 as it marks the debut of porn star Sunny Leone in Bollywood.
A new song 'Maula' from 'Jism 2' starring Sunny Leone and Randeep Hooda was released on July 4 but slowly climbed up the popularity chart because of its earthy beat and lilting music.
The title song of the film 'Jism 2' is composed by Arko Pravo Mukherjee and has vocals by Ali Azmat. The lyrics are by Mukherjee and Munish Makhija.
The Pooja Bhatt film revolves around the story of an adult film star hired by a dashing intelligence officer to become a 'honey-trap' for a dreaded assassin. In doing so, she not only has to confront her bitter-sweet past, but is also forced to make an impossible choice - one that will put her own life in double jeopardy.
After teasing audiences to several steamy song promos, director Pooja Bhatt released the theatrical trailer of her much talked-about project “Jism 2” on YouTube. The clip finally showcases the international porn star Sunny Leone’s acting skills.

View1 : Anna Hazare's fast entered third day with normal health. In a statement from government authority, it has been mentioned that "Government will act, if Anna Hazare's health fails" But the question is why government is waiting for Anna Hazare's health to fail. Is government playing game with Team Anna, that Anna Hazare's health deteriorate and then it might debate the strong LokPal Bill for few weeks and then everything will be in air like last time. It might be a bad politics of India that suppose Anna Hazare might get close to end of his life, then only government will start discussion about his demand and the final verdict might be something like this. You will end up loosing Anna Hazare's life and movement will be vanished in air. To show little sympathy, government and politicians might start debating Lokpal Bill and few weeks later when everyone back to their routine. We will be still waiting for another Anna Hazare to start the movement again. Isn't it true?
Most of the world, including India, was pessimistic about the job market last year with 57 per cent of adults saying it was a bad time to find a job, according to a new Gallup survey.
Only one-third of the people said it was a good time, the leading US opinion poll organisation said on Monday releasing the results of Gallup surveys conducted in 146 countries in 2011.
Indians were only a little more optimistic than the average adult worldwide with 52 percent saying it was a bad time and only 36 percent saying it was a good time. Europeans were the most pessimistic, with 72 percent saying it was a bad time. Optimism was highest in the Americas, where a still dismal 38 per cent said it was a good time.
All of the top 10 countries where residents were most positive about the job market were developing countries, except Singapore.
Oil-rich Middle Eastern nations took four of the top spots; Saudi Arabia and Oman led internationally with 69 per cent of residents saying it was a good time to find a job, despite relatively high unemployment rates.
Six of the 10 countries with the most negative outlooks were EU countries, with Greeks and the Irish nearly universally saying it was a bad time to find a job.
Residents in eight of the world's 10 largest economies did not think it was a good time to find a job in 2011. Brazil and Germany were the two bright spots in an otherwise gloomy outlook on the availability of jobs; about half of residents in each country said it was a good time to find a job.
Results are based on telephone and face-to-face interviews with approximately 1,000 adults per country, aged 15 and older, conducted in 146 countries and areas in 2011, Gallup said.

Personal guarantee must before loan restructuring: RBI
In cases where the restructuring package could not be implemented due to promoters' non-adherence to terms and conditions, the banks should exercise exit option at the earliest with a view to minimise the
losses
Mumbai: A Reserve Bank of India (RBI) panel has recommended banks should seek personal guarantee from promoters and adopt a "carrot-and-stick policy" while restructuring loans of corporates,
reports PTI.
"As stipulating personal guarantee will ensure promoters' skin in the game or commitment to the restructuring package, obtaining the personal guarantee of promoters be made a mandatory requirement in all cases of restructuring," the panel said in its report, on which it has invited comments of stakeholders by 21 August 2012.
The RBI had in January set up the panel to review the existing prudential guidelines on restructuring of advances by banks and financial institutions and suggest modifications taking into account the best international practices and accounting standards.
The panel, which is headed by RBI executive director B Mahapatra, said corporate guarantee should not be considered as a substitute for the promoters' personal guarantee.
In cases where the restructuring package could not be implemented due to promoters' non-adherence to terms and conditions, the banks should exercise exit option at the earliest with a view to minimise the
losses, the report said.
"The terms and conditions of restructuring should inherently contain the principle of 'carrot and stick', that is while restructuring being an incentive for viable accounts, it should also have disincentives
for non-adherence to the terms of restructuring and under-performance," it said.
The panel further said that conversion of debt into preference shares should be done only as a last resort. Also, conversion of debt into equity/preference shares should be restricted to a cap (say 10% of the restructured debt).
Conversion of debt into equity, it further said, should be done only in the case of listed companies.
The banks, according to the report, should disclose all recast loans on books, and from hereon keep a 5% provision for new standard loans recast, as against the existing norm of 2%.
These provisions, it added, could be implemented over a period of two years.
In view of the ongoing economic problems, ratings agency Crisil expects bad loans to rise to 3.2% of the total by March 2013. Banks usually refer bad loans, which are provided under a consortium arrangement, forCorporate Debt Restructuring (CDR). Crisil expects loan restructuring in India to rise to $37.5 billion, or 3.5% of total loans by March 2013.
