of swami nithyananda’s scandal video with a famous tamil actress shown on sun news live

Swami Nithyananda’s Scandal Video with a Famous Tamil Actress Shown on Sun News Live: A video of Swamy Nithyananda’ having sex with a top tamil actress was broadcasted on Sun news live and has shocked people across India. See the video below.

Swami Nithyananda (or Paramahamsa Nithyanand) is a Spritual Guru from Tamil Nadu.


Swami Nithyananda video
In Nithyananda’s scandal video, he can be seen getting intimate with an actress whose name happened to start with “R” leading to speculation if it is Ragasudha or Ranjita.

The video was broadcasted on the famous tamil channel called SUN TV and the Tamil actress’ face was masked in the video. People have now called Nithyananda a fraud for making people believe that he is a Swami.

Nithyananda is supposed to be a Swami (spiritual person) and this shocking video of him in bed with an actress has only shown how some people take the common person’s faith for granted.

It still has to be verified if this is the truth or a scam.

of mohan kumar admits to marrying and murdering 18 women

18 wives, 18 murders: Mohan Kumar, a former teacher in India, has confessed to marrying and murdering 18 women since 2003.
Mohan Kumar, 46, admitted to the murders of the women, aged between 18 and 25 after being detained by police on Wednesday in a case involving a missing girl.

According to media reports, Kumar would approach the girls and tell them that they resembled someone he knew, just to strike up a conversation.

After asking them about their family backgrounds, he would meet them for a few times before proposing marriage. He would insist that his family would not want any dowry, as it is the custom among many ethnic groups in India.

If the woman agreed, he would take her to a temple to get married according to Hindu rites.

Investigations showed that each of his "wives" did have a honeymoon before they were murdered. They were taken to different lodges in Bangalore, Mysore, Hassan and Madikeri in the state of Karnataka.

However, soon after having sex, he would make them swallow cyanide pills, which he would claim were contraceptives pills.

of singapore will be badly hit by july 22 tsunami (hoax email)

S'pore will be badly hit by July 22 tsunami: Email circulating predicts another tsunami on 22 July.

Extracted from the email,
Hello there. I just wanted 2 let you know that please stay away from the beaches all around in the month of July. There is a prediction that there will be another tsunami hitting on July 22nd. It is also when there will be sun eclipse. Predicted that it is going 2 be really bad and countries like Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines are going 2 be badly hit. Please try and stay away from the beaches in July. Better 2 be safe than sorry. Please pass the word around. Please also pray for all beings.


Read further here at Snopes, which says
However, earthquakes are not caused by gravitational pull, so set your mind at ease about the possibility of an eclipse's prompting the ground to shake.
Also at Channelnews Asia which says the email is a hoax. Professor Kerry Sieh, director, Earth Observatory of Singapore, said,
In the last 110 years or so, there have been about 85 really big earthquakes – 8 (on the Richter magnitude scale) or greater. And only two of those occurred on the same day as an eclipse. And even those were a partial eclipse, not a total eclipse. They happened in a different place from where the eclipse happened.

of australian men eat 'killer' chillies and survive

Two daredevils eat “killer’’ chillies and survive: The Naga Jolokia chilli is the hottest chilli in the world. And Australians Alex Fanning and Ryan Duke of Gosford shoots a video of them eating the 'beast'.


Click on image to watch the video
It’s the hottest chilli in the world with the potential to kill. But that hasn’t stopped two Central Coast daredevils from taking on the potent naga jolokia chilli in a test of resistance to its burning qualities.

The naga jolokia is rated at more than one million Scoville units, a scale used to measure the potency of chillies. No other chilli comes close. It is dangerous for people with heart or breathing problems.

Originally from northwestern India, this extreme pepper is now being cultivated in a custom-made hothouse at the Chilli Factory, Morisset.

of cow urine, india's alternative softdrink to coca-cola

Cow Urine Soft Drink, Gau Jal, To Be Launched As Coke Alternative: India's Hindu nationalist movement is working on creating a new soft drink to rival Coca-Cola and Pepsi. The main ingredient? Cow urine.

The Times Online explains the development of the beverage by the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Om Prakash, the head of the department, said the drink - called "gau jal", or "cow water" - in Sanskrit was undergoing laboratory tests and would be launched "very soon, maybe by the end of this year".

"Don't worry, it won't smell like urine and will be tasty too," he told The Times from his headquarters in Hardwar, one of four holy cities on the River Ganges. "Its USP will be that it's going to be very healthy. It won't be like carbonated drinks and would be devoid of any toxins."

of mda director says singapore tv licence fee among world's lowest

TV licence fee among world's lowest: Media Development Authority director of Customer & Licensing Services, Ms Pam Hu, replies to an Straits Times letter and said that Singapore's TV License Fee is "lowest in the world, even as the cost of producing Public Service Broadcast (PSB) programmes has risen over the years"
WE REFER to Mr Lee Kwun Lam's letter last Friday, 'Lopsided?'. Mr Lee had compared the costs of property taxes and TV licence fee. Both forms of fees, however, are imposed on separate utilities and are subject to different considerations. Thus, to make a direct comparison between the two would not be meaningful.

The TV licence fee of $110 has remained unchanged since Jan 1, 1994. It is among the lowest in the world, even as the cost of producing Public Service Broadcast (PSB) programmes has risen over the years, and there are more free-to-air (FTA) TV channels today for consumers to enjoy.
Someone in HWZ listed out the countries that has abolished the TV License Fee or had never had a TV License Fee (Malaysia, Australia, Belgium, Hungary, India, New Zealand amongst others).

Mumbai under attack
Late Wednesday night, Mumbai, India found itself the target of a ferocious terrorist attack, and the situation remains unresolved even now, three days later.

As of this writing, there were a reported 151 people killed from 11 different countries - though nearly 100 were Indian. More than 300 injuries have also been reported - those numbers may yet rise as several hostage situations still exist in the city. (35 photos total)

of blogger spots mistake in pm lee's national day speech

Blogger Abhijit spots a grammar mistake in PM Lee Hsien Loong's speech.

Oops, a howler of a National Day message!
Oops, the Singapore Prime Minister has goofed up in his English big time! There's a howler in his National Day message. Expecting a bumpy year ahead, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong observes:

"In Southeast Asia, ASEAN has become less prominent on the radar screen of investors, who are more focussed on opportunities in China and India. Several ASEAN countries are pre-occupied with domestic economic and political problems. However, all ASEAN countries know that we must work together resolutely as a group. Singapore will do our part. But we must also maintain our reputation in a turbulent region as an economy that is competitive, a society that is cohesive, and a government that is honest and competent."

"Singapore will do our part." What kind of English is that?

Witnesses Vyom (15) and Arunima (20), both belonging to Delhi, have told the commission that they hit the pool area while others preferred to rest in resort rooms.

They told the commission that Ishmeet had ventured alone into the pool beckoning them to join him. The witnesses added that Ishmeet kept going towards the deeper part of the pool waving at them to follow him, revealed Swamy.

The girl said Ishmeet waved frantically when he went to the deepest part, but they could not make out if it was desperation call to save him. “By the time , we realised what had happened, Ishmeet had sunk to the floor of the pool,” the witnesses told the commission. The witnesses could not be reached over the phone.

Swamy said the two witnesses raised the alarm and hotel staff and others rushed. Ishmeet was pulled out. A doctor tried to revive him by the pool side. But it was too late. He was rushed to a hospital where doctors declared him dead.
