Spycam Found in Ladies Toilet of Call Centre Where Northeast Girls Work

New Delhi, Apr 22 : An office-boy of a call centre was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly installing a spy-camera in the ladies' lavatory in the office, police said.

Sanjay was apprehended following investigations into a complaint filed by a call centre in north-west Delhi's Peetampura and its women employees after they found a spy-camera in a packet of freshener.

The incident came to light four days ago but the complaint was made today, a senior police official said.

A case under Section 509 (for using word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of woman) of IPC has been registered against Sanjay, working in the administration section of the company.

"When one of the women entered the lavatory they saw something blinking in the Odonil packet. On closer scrutiny, she found out that it was a camera and informed the company management," the official said.

The company has about 120 employees and 60 per cent of them are from the Northeast states of India.

According to L Lamak Maram, President of Naga students Union who is helping the victims, the women employees confronted the company management demanding that they be shown the footage.

The company assured it will look into the matter, he claimed, adding, they told the employees that a helper in the organization was responsible for the installation of camera.

"It is very demeaning and we don't know for how long this has been going on. Some people have seen the footage, which has blurred images of women," an employee said.

Dog Meat - Delicacy in The Northeast

By Sinlung

A saying in Northeast goes, ‘If you’ve haven’t tasted Dogs meat, you aren’t man enough.’ Dog meat, a delicacy among the many tribes of Northeast India eaten openly in large amount. Though dog meat is eaten in large extend in, dogs are mainly imported from neighboring Assam.

Everyone has their own perception about Dogs and Dog meat, some people would die for dogs like the the SPCA and Recue Ink, however some people especially in Northeast India would pay any price to have the meat.

Maybe its what make us humans and we choose to be vegetarians  or non-vegetarians, dogs or snake eaters. I don’t think anything should be imposed, as this has been practiced for hundreds of years even before all HYPED organizations were born.

To get a more here is a normal working day in the dog meat market:


Live Dogs are Packed in Gunny Sacks

 
Dogs are Selected

 
Dog selection still continues till the correct size and weight is found.


Then…it’s Killed and roasted so all hair in the body is burned off…

A Little Haggling…

'Rethink on ministry size in Northeast'

Shillong, Apr 21 : With downsizing apparently leading to political instability in some North Eastern states, particularly Meghalaya, senior AICC leader Oscar Fernandes today suggested that there should be a separate "yardstick" for the region.

"It was a part of the Administrative Reforms Commission. It is being discussed. Hope we will arrive at something... we could have a different yardstick for Northeast," he said when asked if there could be a rethink on the 97th Amendment that restricts the size of ministry to 20 per cent of the assembly.

Fernandes said, "It needs support from all. There is a realisation in certain quarters."

D D Lapang, who resigned yesterday as chief minister after a revolt in his party, said, "Yes, downsizing is a factor that has caused political instability.

"Leaders with potential cannot be given proper chances. They cannot be accommodated in a small ministry," Lapang said.

Meghalaya Seek Blessings of Tibetan Spiritual leader

Shillong, Apr 21 : Tibetans living in exile thronged the Buddhist Monastery in Upper Lumparingin in Shillong to catch a glimpse of their spiritual leader, the 41st Sakya Trizin Rinpoche.

The 41st Sakya Trizin Rinpoche is the supreme head of the Sakya school, one of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

The purpose of Rinpoche's visit is spiritual discourse, blessings and religious ceremony, in the northeastern state, which has a significant population of the Tibetans living in exile.

Speaking to the media, the spiritual leader said that people in Shillong need spiritual upliftment and blessings for peace and prosperity.

"In Tibetan Buddhism, we have four major schools. Though they are same basically, the motivations, their way of conduct and final achievements are not different. But the one difference is that the lineage is different, how the teaching originally came from India, and then passed through the translation and then continued from one guru to the next. And so, therefore, the lineage is different. Due to this, the certain emphasis somewhat slightly different," said Rinpoche.

According to the Tibetan legend, the Sakya family descended from "Gods of a Celestial Race" and the lineage remains unbroken till date.

After an abortive uprising against Chinese rule in Tibet in 1959, Sakya Trizen Rinpoche, moved to India and established the Sakya Guru Monastery in Darjeeling.

Guwahati Flooded, Troopers Deployed to Rescue Residents

Guwahati, Apr 20 : Authorities on Tuesday deployed paramilitary troopers to carry out rescue operations in Assam's main city of Guwahati hit by massive flooding, triggered by heavy rains since Sunday.

Troopers of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), using rubber boats and rafts, rescued more than 200 people from various city areas reeling under waist deep water.

"We have already rescued scores of people trapped inside homes filled with water, mud, and slush and we are on the lookout for more who could be desperately looking for help," Anil Chauhan, NRDF commander, said.

Heavy rains accompanied by cyclonic storm in the past two days crippled normal life in most parts of Assam, especially in the state's main city of Guwahati with several areas submerged - the worst hit being Lachit Nagar, Rajgarh, Zoo Road, Nabin Nagar, Hengarabari, and G.S. Road areas.

Guwahati recorded 80.4 mm rainfall since Monday with forecast of more rain accompanied by thundershowers on Wednesday and Thursday.

"This is the worst ever flooding in the city in recent memory with rainwater flooding the better part of our ground floor," said Nanda Das, a college teacher.

The situation has further compounded with mud and slush blocking the city's drainage system.

"There is no outlet for the water to go and hence the artificial flooding caused," a municipal corporation official said.

"We were unable to send our children to school, while we are running out of essentials as there is no way we can move out of our homes," said Bimala Hazarika, a housewife.

The rafts used by the NDRF came as a succor to the marooned people with many residents venturing out of their homes to buy medicines and food.
"With more rains likely, the situation would further worsen," Chauhan said.

N.Korea Leader Sets World Fashion Trend: Pyongyang

 The trademark suit sported by North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il, seen here in September 2009, is now in.

Seoul

: The trademark suit sported by North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il is now in fashion worldwide thanks to his greatness, Pyongyang's official website said Wednesday.

Uriminzokkiri, quoting an article in communist party newspaper Rodong Sinmun, said the modest-looking suits have gripped people's imagination and become a global vogue.

"The reason is that the august image of the Great General, who is always wearing the modest suit while working, leaves a deep impression on people's mind in the world," it said.

"To sum it up, that is because his image as a great man is so outstanding."

The article quoted an unidentified French fashion expert as saying world fashion follows Kim Jong-Il's style.

"Kim Jong-Il mode which is now spreading expeditiously worldwide is something unprecedented in the world's history," the stylist was quoted as saying.

The suits consist of an overall-style zipped-up tunic and matching trousers, usually in khaki or blueish-grey.

The 68-year-old leader wears them even when receiving foreign dignitaries.

During his outside "field guidance" trips in winter, he also dons a shapeless anorak and fur hat.

Kim and his deceased father Kim Il-Sung are at the heart of a personality cult that borders on religion, with near-magical powers ascribed to the younger Kim.

Rainbows supposedly appeared over sacred Mount Paekdu where Kim Jong-Il was allegedly born, and he is said once to have scored 11 holes-in-one in a single round of golf.

Glamazon Bar Refaeli Sizzles in Stunning Photo Shoot With Reality TV's Latest Sensation

Bar Refaeli is no stranger to posing with muscly models. But the Israeli beauty was in for a shock when she met her co-stars on a recent photo shoot for Interview magazine.

As the group were none other than the 'stars' of latest MTV reality TV sensation Jersey Shore. While the men - known as Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Paul 'DJ Pauly D' DelVecchio - wore their best designer clothes for the shoot, they couldn't compare with 24-year-old Bar's sizzling outfits.

Animalistic: Bar Refaeli, in a tiny leopard print bikini, poses alongside Vinny Guadagino in the shoot for Interview magazine

Wearing a series of costumes which left little to the imagination, including a leopard print bikini, a black basque and hotpants and a cutaway swimsuit, Bar, the ex-girlfriend of Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, sizzled as she posed with the group. The men, and their female co-stars Jenni 'JWoww' Farley, Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi, Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola and Angelina 'Jolie' Pivarnick, have quickly gone from relative unknowns to household names in the U.S. The TV show, which follows the eight housemates as they spend the summer holidaying on the New Jersey Shore, has become one of the most popular reality shows of the moment. Hook-ups and bust-ups ensue along with plenty of GLT - that's a morning routine of Gym, Tanning, and Laundry for the uninitiated.

Suggestive: Slender Bar takes a bit of an astonishingly long sandwich, while the Jersey boys watch

But the show has had its share of controversy too - some have taken offense to the cast's use of the words 'guido' and 'guidette', which many view as slurs against Italian-Americans. And there was public uproar over a scene in which Snooki gets punched in the face by a male bar patron, which prompted MTV to black out the footage. But the Jersey boys are too busy making the most of their popularity to be bogged down by any fuss. The Situation said: 'Oh, man, it’s just unbelievable. Everywhere I go, there’s just mass amounts of people. There’s people showing up at airports, wanting autographs, girls, it’s insane. It’s like The Beatles, man. 'I’ve always gotten female attention. Now the only way I can describe it is that it’s like The Beatles. At a club appearance, it’s insane that people are chasing me and fighting bodyguards, and girls are crying and screaming.

'People are always asking for a picture. I never refuse a picture. I shake hands; I kiss every cheek. I love all my fans. I love every minute. I give everybody a chance.' While all the boys loved shooting alongside Bar, there was one who felt more of a connection with the stunning model. Vinny Guadagnino is such a huge fan of Bar's ex-boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio that he took the opportunity to quiz her about her former relationship. When asked if Bar told the boys if she had watched their programme, Vinny said: 'She’s probably watched the show a few times. Didn’t seem too hung up on it.Leo [DiCaprio] is more, actually. 'He said, “I can tell you’re a good Italian kid, from a good family." ' And Vinny also admitted he wants to follow in DiCaprio's footsteps when Jersey Shore ends. He told Interview magazine: 'I could see myself, not now because he plays crazy roles, but if I ever got to that level, I’d like to play the roles he plays. He handles everything with such poise. 'He’s very low-key, and I’m the same kind of way. When you see me in a club, you don’t see me going crazy; you see me with a hat and a hood on, laying back. What would Leo do? What would Leo do? I keep reciting that in my head.'
