Story of a Witch

Subscribe to Weird India Subscribe to Weird India in MY YAHOO! Subscribe to Weird India in MY GOOGLE! Subscribe to Weird India in MY MSN! Subscribe to Weird India in MY AOL! Subscribe to Weird India in Rojo!
Ranchi: There must have been at least twenty of them. None was armed. But the volley of voices was enough to shake Pratima Kispatta out of her afternoon nap. The men — most of them her relatives — barged in, dragged her out, and dumped her in a tractor. “The next thing I knew was that I was being taken to a faraway place. No one listened to me,” recalls Pratima. Why would they: she had ‘devoured’ a little boy. The ‘witch’ of Ranichacho, a village on the outskirts of Ranchi, had ‘snuffed’ the life out of her own nephew — that too after ‘causing’ the death of another family member, a sister-in-law.

Panic due to ‘Doomsday’ Rumours

Subscribe to Weird India Subscribe to Weird India in MY YAHOO! Subscribe to Weird India in MY GOOGLE! Subscribe to Weird India in MY MSN! Subscribe to Weird India in MY AOL! Subscribe to Weird India in Rojo!
In India many people due to ‘Doomsday’ Rumors headed straight for temples, which recorded an unusually high turnout, while others sat at home and waited for the end instead of going to work. Some others rushed to restaurants to have their hearts fill of their favourite dishes.

All these rumors spread soon after TV channels reported the European underground experiment to recreate conditions that existed immediately after the Big Bang.

In another incident a 16-year-old girl in Madhya Pradesh state of India allegedly committed suicide after watching news about the possibility of the end of earth, following the atom-smasher experiment in Geneva that began on Wednesday.

Anyway all these rumors have come to be unfounded as the experiment has already started at Geneva & nothing unusual has happened. It's high time our media learns some lessons from this & use their authority to broadcast such weird reports with responsibility.

It's all about Lord Ganesha

Subscribe to Weird India Subscribe to Weird India in MY YAHOO! Subscribe to Weird India in MY GOOGLE! Subscribe to Weird India in MY MSN! Subscribe to Weird India in MY AOL! Subscribe to Weird India in Rojo!
Today is Lord Ganesha's day in India & Happy "Ganesh Chaturthi" to all. Now here are interesting stories related to that. On this day Hindu God "Lord Ganesha" is worshipped in the form of Idols, some of them are so big & costly that this time one Ganesh idol in Mumbai was insured for Rs.26.5 millions.

In another case: A Bangalore-based painter's love for Ganesha is taking him to different parts of India hunting for idols and images of the elephant-headed god. In three years he has gathered 30,000 pieces. His aim is to take the collection to 100,000 in the next seven years. Anyway God is God & devotion to God is good thing only, some people leave all their material possesions in search of God, here the guy is just collecting Lord's Idol. Hey, salute to you for your devotion to Lord Ganesha.

Anyways, I too love Lord Ganesha & you can read a few articles on Him on my another Blog "Gita Blog" at http://gita-blog.blogspot.com/ . You can see some musical videos too on Lord Ganesha at my religious musical video channel at You Tube here.....http://www.youtube.com/user/weirdindia . Over here you can find many more religious musical videos.
