Bombaytoday.

They say the scars of time is filled by time!!
On my visit to the Heart of Mumbai i found the life back to normal but with a change?
The question in the eyes of Police and security?Who in the crowd could be the next terrorist?
The Taj stood valiantly as if declaring that i may be hurt but my soul has survived.Cant forget the vivid images of the beloved monument of Mumbai being burnt by the attackers.


The damage done will be wiped in few more days.But they who lost there family in the mayhem shall never forget or forgive.

The Gateway pulls a lot of visitors daily and the elan is intact with which it exemplifies the open spirit of Mumbai.

In my personal opinion the Mumbai i have seen in last 10 yrs has changed slowly from being a warm and open civilization to a divided and polarized city.

Now that the DNA tests confirm to sexual intercourse between the maid and Shiney the prosecution will have to prove that it was forceful and not consensual.

The staunch supporter of Shiney, Anupam Ahuja his wife shall be feeling devastated!

Surprisingly the producers are ready to sign the ill fated star whose Carrier was not going great guns?

The insane moments of an individual discretion has the potential to ruin a happy family and Carrier.The stardom is known to make people feel all powerful and above the law.

Its the guts of the maid who broke the silence and came forward.

Shiney admits to rape!!

Shiney has relented during the interrogation and accepted the charge of rape.

"It was forceful. Shiney threatened her that if she shouts, he will beat her up.

He has admitted his guilt."The actor, the police claim, confessed and broke down during interrogation.Ahuja was taken to court on Monday afternoon, his face covered with a black cloth.

According to the police version, Shiney's wife and infant daughter were not at home on Sunday afternoon. The actor was home alone with the maid, and that is when he allegedly raped her.

The police say the maid complained to her relatives in the evening, who lodged a complaint against Ahuja at the Oshiwara police station in northwest Mumbai."We have registered three cases, Section 342 (wrongful confinement), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 376 (rape) against him," ACP Suryavanshi added.If convicted of the crimes he is accused of, the actor can face up to 10 years in prison.The victim is an 18-year old resident of Vasai, a township close to Mumbai.

She has been working at Ahuja's home for the last 45 days. She has now been moved to a government-run home in Chembur, northeast Mumbai.

Dale Bhagwagar, the actor's former publicist, said in a statement that Ahuja was 'innocent until proven guilty.''We just need to give this a little more time until there is clarity about what really happened,' Bhagwagar said.'I've known Shiney for almost four years now. He is a good human being and I will do all that is possible to help him.'

Bollywood actor arrested for Rape??

Bollywood actor Shiney Ahuja was on Sunday detained for questioning by the police on the charge of raping his domestic help and is likely to be put under arrest.

“The domestic help, who has been working at Ahuja’s residence in suburban Oshiwara, alleged that the actor had raped her today afternoon,” Deputy Commissioner of Police Niket Kaushik said.

“We have registered a FIR and called Ahuja to the police station for questioning in the matter to verify the facts,” he said.

The house maid in her complaint has alleged that Ahuja raped her at his residence when they were alone, Kaushik said.

Shiney Ahuja

Additional Police Commissioner Amitabh Gupta said the maid will be subjected to medical test and police are yet to reach any conclusion with regard to the charge levied by her against Shiney.

However, the senior police official said, the actor, who is detained at the police station till well past midnight, is most likely to be arrested in the wee hours of Tuesday.

Ahuja is married and has a daughter. He is known for his roles in films like ‘Hazaroon Khwaishe Aishi’ and ‘Gangster’.

Ahuja’s mentor, Mahesh Bhatt, who produced Gangster for him, said, “This is a body blow to me. I spoke to a top police official who told me that he was informed by his juniors at Oshiwara that Shiny claimed that he had sex with the consent of the maid. However, she has claimed that she was forced into it. The police officer added that they had to accept the woman’s version. I had spoken to Shiny only yesterday. If he is found guilty of rape, we have to condemn him.”

Mumbai be warned of Floods on 24Th July 2009??

Mumbaikar's cant forget two dates easily!

26Th July and 26 November!!

One when Mumbai was inundated with worst rain and subsequent flooding resulting in the loss of crores of Rs and irreparable loss of more than 1000 life's.

On 26Th November 2008 a flood terror hit Mumbai!

The Mahindra special services group which is a risk management company has issued warning about the worst high tide of the century on 24Th July 2009.?

The closeness of the date with 26Th July 2005 is eeary and frightful.

The local administration needs to educate the people about the impending disaster and prepare to take it head on.

The 26Th Nov terror attack trail is on in Mumbai at a slow pace.

The fallout for police has come too late?

The Police has been rapped by HC in Nimbalkar murder case for its sloppy handling.

This is a case when the murdered person was a influential politician,what the police must have done if he was a commoner?

The NCP MP Padam singh has been declared the main accused ,NCP has washed its hands from Padam?

The continuing trial and the investigation brings more filth by the day.I wonder at the timing of the case just before the assembly polls?

Are the big bosses at Delhi has had enough of the Pawar camp and decided to cut him and his party to size before elections?

The innocent and upright ex home minister has given the clean chit to the accused ?

Its like the recent statement by BMC that there is no need to worry about the H1N1 virus??According to them it will not survive in the heat and moisture of Mumbai?

Hard to believe from the BMC which has failed to contain the spread of Malaria and Gastroenteritis year after year!!

But yeh Mumbai hai meri jan!!

TV has changed!

The Idiot box is idiot no more cause its now got a companion which is smart and digital?

The time of terrestrial and cable TV is gone now is the time of Direct TV.

The monotony and lack of control over what to get and what not in terms of channels is over as today its the consumer decides which channels should be the part of once bouquet?

In not so recent past the packages and channels available were decided by the local cable operator and often the choices were limited.Not so any more because the revolution called DirectTv gives the control in the users hand.

One major differentiators for satellite TV is the DirecTv service.The assurance of a 24*7 customer service is some thing which is wanting in most cable services?

The service which will excite the tech enthusiast is the availability of features like HD TV and the DVR .Today the best sporting action and entertainment is shifting to Direct TV Service.

So no matter even if the power is out if you have backup you can enjoy TV as its not dependent on the local power supply!!

Mumbai now!!

Six months after 26/11 there is little that has changed in Mumbai as far as security is concerned.

The high security area like airport saw a heist of Gold coins and silver coins in broad day light.

The quantum of the robbery is conflicted as quoted as 35 Lacs to 55 Lacs from some gold coins to 145kg?

Its only time when some terrorist decides to drive with Car full of explosive and demolishes the airport?

The technological surveillance at prime spots need to be increased.One off duty policeman tried to stop the fleeting car but was run over by the robbers.

Last fortnight the daughter of Deepak Tijori was abducted and forced to unnatural sex by a youth who was caught after second rape in a week?

The corrupt and shoddy guest houses and Lodge in and around Malvani and Aksa beach are known as heaven for prostitution.

Think of it how can a hotel allow a 13 year kid to be sharing a room for an hour with an adult?

The locals of these area are used to the easy money so they don't object to such heinous crime done in there area.

There is lot of boozing done and its not considered safe to venture into these areas once the night falls.

Such is the Police work that it took the forced abduction of another kid and rape that the offender was caught in the same vicinity?

The bank robbery and jewellery shop heist are becoming a routine thing?

The citizens in these areas need to protest the wrong or else its becomes routine.

Real Slumdog story!!

This happens only in Mumbai!!

Mumbai authorities tear down 'Slumdog' star's home
