  • Wo yuhi ruth gaye,
    sare armaan mere tut gaye.
    nafrat ka dhong aisa dikhaya,
    ki wo pathar bankar jine lage,
    aur hum shisha bankar tut gaye.
  • A ray of light, a ray of hope.
    A brand new day, know u could cope.
    When the day is done, look back & see,
    how the good sun has touched you & me.
    Gud mrng!
  • Aaj hum bi ek nek kam kar aaye,
    dil ki wasiyat kisi ke naam kar aaye.
    Pyar hai unse jante hai woh,
    majburi thi jo jhuki nazaro se inkar kar aye.
  • Aansu ki kimat wo jante hai,
    jo kisiko yad karte hai.
    Dil ke gum wo jante hai jo kisiko chahte hai,
    Dost ke dard ko wahi jante hai
    jo use dil se dost mante hai.
  • Dhala din Fir wahi shaam hogi,
    Askh honge, yaadein hongi,
    Zindgi Fir gum k pyalo k naam hongi,
    Hasrato ki mehfil Uhi viraan hongi.
  • Softly d leaves of mem’ry fall.
    Slowly, i’ll gather & pick dem all
    Coz 2day, 2morow & til my lyf is thru,
    i’ll always cherish knowng somebody lyk u!
  • “TRUE FRNS STAND BEHIND U
    DURING UR BAD TIMES”
    u want a documentary proof?
    In future check out ur marriage album.
    Ul find al frns behind u!!!
  • Never be sad for missing
    whatever you expected
    but be happy since god made you to realize
    that those expectations are not worth in ur life.
  • Nigaho me or koi dosti ke kabil na raha,
    is kinare ka or koi sahil na raha.
    Chand jaisa dost mila hume zamin par,
    aasma ka chand bhi ab deedar k kabil nahi raha.

    Map of PowaiPowai is a northern suburb of Mumbai, that shares its name with a lake in the same locality. It is reachable from the western suburbs by the Saki Vihar Road, the Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road or the Aarey Colony Road. Also, Adi Shankaracharya Road connects Powai to the Lal Bahadur Shastri Road and the Eastern Express Highway, which are the gateways to eastern suburbs. The nearest Mumbai Suburban Railway station is Kanjurmarg on the Central line.
    Powai, historically, has been the home to five temples. A small locality called Panchakutir (meaning five abodes) is still present in Powai. One of these temples is devoted to Goddess Padmavati. It is believed that the word Powai came from the temple. Its etimology is drawn from Padma Aai, which means mother Padma, in the local language Marathi.
    Besides the Powai Lake, Powai is host to some imporatant landmarks of Mumbai, such as:
    * the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT Bombay),
    * the Hiranandani Gardens township,
    * the National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), and
    * the various Government colonies of Income Tax Dept,Customs, Coast guard etc.
    The Powai area has grown tremendously in the past decade and it is presently a residential, commercial and retail hub for the eastern suburbs of Bombay. A local weekly newspaper Planet Powai regularly reports on the latest news and development of this area.
    The area is also famous for being the hub of the construction, engineering and manufacturing conglomerate Larsen & Toubro group of companies.

    Several parts of Mumbai have reported incidents of stone pelting this afternoon (November 30) in an apparent expression of Dalit anger over the alleged desecration of a statue of Dr Ambedkar in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
    Since morning, reports of violence in Dalit pockets started trickling in, from Thane district to Worli in central Mumbai and the Bandra stretch of the Western Express Highway.

    Besides this, police resorted to lathicharge on protestors in places such as Kanjurmarg, Mulund, Kherwadi, Bhandup, Ghatkopar Chembur and Goregaon.

    Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil said that though there had been “stray incidents of violence” reported from various parts of the city, the situation was rapidly coming under control. Patil added that police were receiving cooperation from dalit leaders as well, in this regard.
    Maharashtra on the boil

    One of the compartments of the Deccan Queen Express set afire by the angry dalits

    Angry mob of around 6000 protestors reportedly set afire nine compartments of the Deccan Queen Express near Ulhasnagar however there were no immediate reports of any casualties. However, train services between Kalyan and Karjat have been halted.

    Angry protestors also torched two local trains in Ulhasnagar and police had to resort to firing to control mobs. One person has been injured in the incident.

    The local administration is considering imposing curfew in Ulhasnagar. Condemning the attacks on trains, Railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav has said the culprits will not be spared.
    Meanwhile, curfew has been imposed in Nanded district till Friday morning. Apart from Nanded, curfew has also been imposed in Pimpri.

    Police are on the alert in Nashik, to prevent the situation from going out of hand. There were reports of protestors trying to damage a bus in Nasik and in Bhiwandi three buses were confirmed to have been damaged.

    Dalits poured out on to the streets last night, in protest against the alleged desecration of a statue of Dr B R Ambedkar in Kanpur. In Nasik, a 23-yr old Dalit youth Rangnath Shankar Dhale was beaten to death by an angry mob last evening after they found him pelting stones at vehicles.

    Compensation for Dhale
    Meanwhile, Maharashtra government has announced a financial aid of Rs one lakh and government job to the next of
    kin of Dhale.

    Maharashtra PWD Minister Chhagan Bhujbal, who visited trouble-torn localities of Nashik and Vihitgaon this morning, paid a visit to Dhale’s house at Muktidham and announced the financial assistance and job.
    Bhujbal also assured free treatment to Dhale’s ailing father. Three persons have been arrested in connection with his death.

    Police control?
    Director General of Police P S Pasricha said among the 60 injured, 40 were policemen. A protestor died after he was run over by a truck in Nanded on Wednesday evening while trying to stop the traffic while one person was beaten to death by a mob in Nashik last night, Pasricha said.

    Over 1,500 protestors have been arrested across the state for various incidents of stone-pelting and arson. Of them, 400 were caught indulging in violent acts.

    Angry mobs torched 15 vehicles across the state and at least 100 buses have been damaged in the protests reported
    from Latur, Bhiwandi, Mumbai, Pimpri, Chinchawad, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Buldhana, Nashik and Nanded among other areas, he said.

    “Maintaining law and order situation is our top priority and the state intelligence department is probing into the
    cause of protests,” Pasricha said assuring that the situation will be brought under control by evening.
    Keeping in view the law and order situation across Maharashtra, Mumbai police commissioner A N Roy has requested the government to declare holiday on Baba Ambedkar’s death anniversary on December 6.
