Although the encounter took place in 2004 the case has been kept alive by the media because of the many mysteries surrounding it. It is still an ongoing criminal case in the courts of Gujarat. The encounter of 4 people  including a 19 year old girl Ishrat Jehan took place because they were suspected of plotting to kill Mr Narendra Modi and other BJP leaders..But at that time activists and  the Congress party had questioned this move , claiming that Ishrat was innocent and hounded Modi , with Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi calling him Maut ka saudagar and abusing him several times.. Later, during the interrogation of David Hadley, he admitted that Ishrat was a LET based terrorist . But since he later changed his tune not much came out of it. However, now after investigations more facts are coming to light with fingers directly pointing at Chidambaram the then Home Minister...All the while the Congress party and P Chidambaram knew that Ishrat Jehan was a LET terrorist. Of course for those who know the ins and outs of the Congress party this comes as no surprise since they would go to any lengths to insult Modi . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmLFXpxW5d4

Now women have even entered th fighting ranks of army and navy and are seen working with men everywhere, so what is the point of such segregation. In fact, the school which my son studies in, at least in primary classes, the teachers makes students sit one boy and one girl at each desk and keeps rotating them so every one gets to interact with each one. That is the best approach if we are to remove gender discrimination and bias. That's definitely a good system followed in your Son's school. If such system is followed right from the Primary School stage, by the time your child starts going to Middle School, he gets so used to it that when he hears about these segregated schools, I'm sure he will laugh it away. I remember, when I joined a Co- Ed school, my granny after hearing that I'm studying in Co-Ed school simply was astonished and sneered at my mother as if she has committed a Sacrilege.

rambabu replied to the topic Burning calories routinely .
Having knowledge and awareness about the importance of health and fitness will go a long way.I heard,  PM Modi's daily routine starts with Yoga. A Healthy person can meet the rigors of daily grind effortlessly. Especially Politicians who move on constantly from to dawn to Dusk.

Apparently, even the Maharashtra Chief Minister Fadnavis has lost nearly 18 kilos in a few months time. It is heartening to see that people are aware and are doing the right things to remain fit and healthy.

What I meant is there is no hard and fast rule as to what kind of spelling mistakes can be considered spontaneous and which ones don't. It differs from post to post and carefully worded ones, with tight grammar rules adhered too, not even a punctuation error etc. are the ones that are carefully thought of and not spontaneous. Also, the content too determines that. I'm in total agreement with you Kalyani !. They say " to err is human." Nobody is above mistakes. Yes Yes definitely, even a mistake in punctuation will mar the meaning of a sentence. And another thing I noticed is some members use some Hindi Quotes. These quotes are certainly relevant to the post. But when there are spelling mistakes in those quotes, you can imagine what a funny situation arises.

Such howlers will definitely take place if revision is ignored. Most of these mistakes are due to not knowing some subtle difference between some words like, THERE and THEIR.  On the whole, revision is a must.

The news channels (Telugu, Andhra Jyoti) named a few Co -Ed Colleges like Chatanya in Vizag that are charging exorbitant fees. Anyhow, I will verify .

Yes. During interrogation by the police, auto driver's statement will be recorded. Then the truth surfaces.
