When Mr. Raja Ramanna came to IIT Madras to give a lecture after the Nuclear plant at Kalpakkam was setup, he was bombarded with the safety concerns as Madras is just 80 Kms from Kalpakkam. The only answer he gave was, “Chernobyl cannot happen in India because our engineering not as inquisitive as the Russian ones”. Expectedly he was booed for this response of his. Well the Chernobyl accident occurred because engineers trying to test safety of the plant committed a big blunder. Due to a faulty program the power generation fell to 1% of 35000 MW, electric (the normal output). They were so scared that they immediately restarted the plant but in the process the remnant radioactive product increased the heat generation. They tried to control it by reinserting the control rods but it broke.

Ram Jethmalani has decided to defend Manu Sharma, accused of murdering Jessica Lal. Manu Sharma  is is the son of one of the leading politicians in the state of Haryana, Venod Sharma, belonging to the Congress Party. Here is what happened on that fateful night

On April 29, 1999, leading socialite Bina Ramani organized a party at her restaurant, Tamarind Court Cafe, in the Qutub area of South Delhi - it was to be a farewell party for her husband Georges Mailhot who was going abroad for six months. Several youngsters and models were serving drinks at the ‘Once upon a time’ bar, including Jessica Lall and her friends Malini Ramani and Shyan Munshi.

At about 0200 hours when the party was almost over, Manu Sharma with his friends Amardeep Singh, Alok Khanna, Amit Jhingan and Vikas Yadav, allegedly entered the restaurant and demanded liquor from Jessica.

Since the bar was being closed, Jessica told Sharma that no more drinks would be served. After some altercation, Sharma lost his temper and fired his gun - once in the air and the second time at Jessica. The bullet struck her temple and she died on the spot.

Sharma fled from the restaurant with his friends in a car which was later found abandoned in a Delhi suburb. During an intense hunt for Sharma over a week, three of his friends were arrested, but Sharma himself went underground. His father, Venod Sharma was asked to step down as Congress Party Chief in the state.

No Eid tomorrow wtf! The reason, the bloody chaand didn’t show up!! It was a setback to me, well not just a setback but this news sent to deep chasm of frustration, when she told me there is no Eid tomorrow. It was like telling a eagerly dresses bride that her marriage has been canceled because of mahurat mismatch!
