Narendra Modi May Enter Guinness Book Of World Records

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set for another record- the highest number of electoral rallies made by a politician in the world

His name has been proposed to the Guinness Records Committee by Agra-based World Record Holders Organisation (WRHO) and the committee has responded to the request by seeking more data on the rallies conducted by Modi.

Talking to IndiaToday.in, Dr Parthsarthi Sen Sharma, general secretary, WRHO, said that the organisation has written to the Limca Book of Records and World Records Academy, US, apart from the Guinness Records Committee. He said that while canvassing for the 16th Lok Sabha elections, Modi held over 1,800 political rallies, in person as well as through 3D holographic technique. This is believed to be the world record of electoral rallies held by any politician.

He said that the organisation has received a response from the Guinness Records Committee on email and is in the process of collating all the data to be sent to the committee for consideration.

Fugly Bollywood Movie Review

            Fugly Bollywood Movie Review

To know the world needs change and to know how to bring about that change are two different scenarios. Most of us think knowing that there's something wrong with the system is enough to be the change. Turns out that is a recipe for disaster. It's a recipe Kabir Sadanand spends more than two hours cooking. He tries hard to get the right dramatic punch. Operative words being "tries hard". Unfortunately for him and his well-intentioned film, it doesn't work out.

For starters the cast gets it woefully wrong. This is a film about four youngsters fighting the good fight against power and corruption. The kind of premise that worked in movies like Rang De Basanti or Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi. The subject has potential for memorable drama and grit. That prospect though goes to waste through half baked performances from Mohit Marwah, Kiara Advani, Arfi Lamba and Vijender Singh. The four lead actors look clueless in most scenes. There are flashes in the pan suggesting all four have the talent to be onscreen. But in Fugly their efforts seem to be lost and without conviction.

The writing doesn't help either. Here you have four desperate young people being terrorised by a corrupt cop. They're being forced to steal, sell drugs and plot murders and yet at the first chance to party they pull out fancy dress costumes and dance like there's no tomorrow. Of course Hindi cinema has taught us the merits of suspension of disbelief but you don't leave your brains behind in a story trying to expose the fallacies of politics and police.

Despite its abysmally ineffective screenplay there are a few things Fugly does get right. It's aimed as a fight against all that's ugly in our world today. Most of which is portrayed in the form of the rampant eve teasing and public molestation that happens in Delhi. It also shows the double standards people employ while judging others. Fugly highlights social evils with great effect. But the film's dramatic punches are severely uninspiring. There could've been a genuine sense of loss, misfortune and heart breaking irony. Instead all you get through the misadventures of the four lead characters is vanilla tragedy. It's what movie circles call a certified cop out.

While the protagonists may be struggling, the antagonist of Fugly drives its steam. A huffing, puffing Jimmy Shergill shows you what menace can be. Pity then that even his character suffers such a passé finale.

For the uninitiated, the term Fugly was born online. It's a witty of the f word and ugly. Put together they denote something more than just not-pretty, something that is repulsive. But the word has a zestful pun. It's almost always used with a fun connotation. To use it to describe real scenarios and life-altering themes is to perhaps employ mix metaphors.

PM Narendra Modi Arrives In Bhutan on 2-day visit

PM Narendra Modi Arrives In Bhutan on 2-day visit

June 15: In his first foreign visit after being sworn-in as the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi on Sunday reached Bhutanese capital, Thimpu on a two-day visit. He was received by Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay at the Paro airport and was given a ceremonial guard of honour. The focus of talks between the two nations is expected to be over trade and hybrid electricty. He will meet Bhutan King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and also hold talks with his Bhutanese counterpart Tshering Tobgay, today. He is accompanied by the External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh and a delegation of eight journalists. On Monday, he will also address the joint session of the Parliament of Bhutan. He will also inaugurate one of India's assistance projects -- the building of the Supreme Court of Bhutan. The fact that the Prime Minister chose Bhutan as his first foreign destination assumes significance since China has lately intensified efforts to woo it and establish full- fledged diplomatic ties with Thimphu. Ahead of his visit, Modi said Bhutan was a "natural choice" as his first foreign destination because of the "unique and special relationship". In his pre-departure statement, Modi said relations with Bhutan will be a key foreign policy priority of his government. "I am looking forward to my first-ever visit to Bhutan and to nurturing and further strengthening India's special relations with Bhutan," said Modi before undertaking the trip at the invitation of Bhutan's King and the Prime Minister. "Our relations with Bhutan are unique and especially warm. Our historical and cultural linkages make us natural friends and partners," Foreign Secretary Singh told a press conference in Delhi. "Bhutan is one of our most important strategic partners ....It is a very good country to show our policy of good neighbourliness in South Asia and special token of our friendship," she said explaining why Bhutan was chosen as the first foreign destination of Modi.
