In a city where there are many destitute women in distress, the Women and Child Welfare Department has notified a dormitory at the short-stay home in Nirmal Chhaya for would-be mothers in an advanced stage of pregnancy.

It seems like the initiative may help bring down the number of unsafe abortions and careless consumption of contraceptives.

Having conquered the world with his charisma, when US president Barack Obama came here for a short visit, he immediately struck a chord with the young generation.

Probably what shocked us more than anything else was the informal persona of a President, which is a rare sight in our country. Although we often see our leaders “trying” to connect with the youth, what restrains them from making a friendly gesture in public?

After small screen romances and swayamwars, Sara Khan and Ali Merchant are going to make history by getting married in the Bigg Boss house.
