Why you didn't get it ...Aditi..?
😆
Yeah..it does make absolute sense.
The ppl ruling us need to increase their awareness a lot.
For all their remarks and bans on various subjects, their teenage kids at the same moment are getting a very different kind of exposure on what's "cool" and what's "hot " !

Well film makers in the name of audience demand show this kind of stuff which is full of fluff and no stuff showing partying premarital sex and women drinking alcohol as a sign of today's woman and at the same time in the movie Alia says if her dress doesn't look like Kareena Kapoor wala dress she wll say good bye to wedding as if dress s the most important thing.😲
Film makers show women as cheap giddy light headed and materialistic and say that that's how people like to see women

Politicians are on the other extreme defining how a woman should be banning sex education etc

I think that's what the article means😕

Its simple..
The journo is asking the minister to divert his energies on more important topics., and at the same time questioning the film makers objectives.

Been seeing bikinis since childhood, nothing indecent about them: Goa CM


New Delhi: A day after Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said that bikinis should not lead to public indecency, he has now clarified that bikinis are not indecent but should only be restricted to swimming. "There is no indecency about bikinis. I have been seeing bikinis in Goa since my childhood. But it should be limited to swimming," he said.

He also said that he never spoke against bikinis but only said that "if something happens beyond legal permissible limits agencies will intervene. Government has no role to play."

He added that PWD Minister Sudin Dhavalikar's comments on women drinking are his personal views. "The Government's policy is final. Individual viewpoint doesn't count. There is no reason for apprehension. The policy has not changed at all. I only spoke about liquor. If you drink on the streets and get into fights there will be unwanted scenes and then police will have to intervene," he said.

People across the state were outraged by Dhavalikar's comment that there should be a ban on women going to pubs in short dresses. The PWD minister had said that women going to pubs in short dresses is against Indian culture. He also wants bikinis banned from Goa's beaches.

Dhavlikar told CNN-IBN that not only does he stand by his comment- but also that the Goa government will now begin a crackdown on pubs, and ban the consumption of alcohol in the state

AIPWA secretary Kavita Krishnan said that BJP should correct its own culture first before directing people how to behave.

This even as the CM was himself criticised a few days ago for having insensitively compared the plight of rape victims with that of entrepreneurs. The CM had then accused the media of deliberately twisting his statement.

BJP has distanced itself from Dhavalikar's comments saying that the party does not endorse the minister's statements and it is a purely personal opinion.

wow...simply amazing

Former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit may have advised Delhiites to use coolers instead of air-conditioners to save power during the peak summer months but she had 31 ACs installed in her official 3, Moti Lal Nehru Marg home.

Besides the 31 ACs, the 5,700-sq-ft bungalow in Lutyens' Delhi had 25 heaters, 15 desert coolers, 16 air purifiers and 12 geysers, a Right to Information (RTI) application has revealed. The house has three big bedrooms, five bathrooms, a huge drawing hall, dining room and half-a-dozen servant quarters.

The monthly bill for running a one-tonne split AC in Lutyens' Delhi for seven hours a day comes to aroundRs. 900. This calculation is based on the lowest tariff slab ( Rs. 3.10 for up to 200 units) in NDMC areas, where power rates are comparatively lower than in other parts of Delhi due to lower transmission-distribution losses.

Despite repeated attempts, Dikshit " who took charge as governor of Kerala after the Congress received a drubbing in last year's assembly polls in the Capital " could not be reached for comment.

The three-term CM had moved into the residence in 2004 at the start of her second term. The Delhi Public Works Department had run a bill of Rs. 16 lakh on its electrical renovation.

In its reply to the RTI application, the PWD said it had removed the electrical appliances after Dikshit moved out in February this year. Some of these appliances are currently being used in various government offices.

The house now has a new occupant " Manmohan Singh, who moved in after stepping down as prime minister on May 26. In sharp contrast to the electrical renovations carried out by Dikshit, Singh wanted a frugal makeover and directed the CPWD to keep renovation expenses within a Rs. 20-lakh budget. Sources said the CPWD spent '2.5 lakh on new furniture and fixtures, including ACs and upholstery.

The bungalow now has less than half-a-dozen ACs installed.

The only specific request Singh's family made was to have the wood flooring replaced with the original mosaic tiles.

What can we say ?😆
Singh is king 😊

Felt bad for Mr Man Mohan Singh. Brilliant man who had a vision but didn't have it in him to enforce his agenda.
