Lagi Tujh Se Lagan

My sister N, introduced me to this show Lagi Tujhse Lagan on Colors TV sometime ago. She loved the main character in it called Dutta who plays the role of a gangster in this soap. While the girl is Nakusha who is hiding her beautiful due to circumstances. Somehow, these two will fall in love but their love story is surrounded by difficult and tough times. An interesting thing I read, was that once Nakusha ended up on the streets when she met Chulbul Panday (Salman Khan) who told Nakusha to tell Dutta about her true self and her beautiful looks. So that their love story is based on truth.

In reality, Dutta is known as Mishal Raheja. He is an actor on television working from 2003 after completing his undergraduate studies in business management in the United States. I am glad to read that he was born in 1979, which makes him older than me and many others I know. Otherwise, most people are now much younger than me. He is quite good looking and is the only reason I watch this show. I like to see love winning in the end. 

Here you can see a normal picture of Nakusha also, who is actually a pretty girl.

And here you can the infamous, Nakusha's mother. I am so sad I couldn't find a picture of hers in all famous pityful expression. It is funny this woman is always crying without uttering anything. For the time being she has left the soap while her daughter fights her battle of love alone.

Pass the Great Ape Protection Act

Please sign the petition below. The target is 20,000 signs and just a few more signatures are needed. Stand up against the inhumane research practices conducted on chimps.

Chimpanzees will gingerly fold a napkin in their lap before picking up a fork to eat. When dressing, they'll methodically choose their favorite outfit.

And now there's a chance to protect them from inhumane, inefficient, and increasingly obsolete research in the United States.

Protect apes from inhumane research in the U.S.»

The Great Ape Protection Act would:

* phase out the use of chimps in invasive research in the U.S.
* retire the 500 government owned chimps to sanctuaries
* make the National Institute of Health's decision to end breeding on government owned chimps statutory

The difference between human and chimp DNA causes significant discrepancies in our immune systems -- a major roadblock in medical research. New, humane, animal-free testing methods are gaining popularity and credibility.

Hate Message

I just got this sms from an ex colleague:

"We condemn the verdict given by American Supreme Court against Dr. Afia Siddiqui. We also condemn the reaction Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani. We hate you Israel. We hate you America. We hate you India. You are the real terrorists. Please add your vote and keep forwarding. 00025645"

Now this is a very disturbing hate message. Unlike many Pakistanis that were very emotional about the injustice being done against this woman. The media also played a lot with the minds of Pakistanis here. And now after she has been sentenced to 86 years of imprisonment, such hate messages are being shared. I don't understand who gives people the right to just openly call anybody terrorists. It is shameful and a very uneducated approach. Tolerance is lacking in abundance here.
