Man in India marries dog as atonement

NEW DELHI — a man in southern India married a female dog in a traditional Hindu ceremony as an attempt to atone for stoning two other dogs to death — an act he believes cursed him — a newspaper reported Tuesday.

P. Selvakumar married the sari-draped former stray named Selvi, chosen by family members and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony Sunday at a Hindu temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the Hindustan Times newspaper said.

Selvakumar, 33, told the paper he had been suffering since he stoned two dogs to death and hung their bodies from a tree 15 years ago.
"After that my legs and hands got paralyzed and I lost hearing in one ear," he said in the report.

The paper said an astrologer had told Selvakumar the wedding was the only way he could cure the maladies. It did not say whether his situation had improved.

Deeply superstitious people in rural India sometimes organize weddings to dogs and other animals, believing it can ward off certain curses.

The paper showed a picture of Selvakumar sitting next to the dog, which was wearing an orange sari and a flower garland.

The paper said the groom and his family then had a feast, while the dog got a bun.

THE BAD MAN

Emraan Hashmi plays a character based on underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in Milan Luthria’s Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. In an interview to Screen he talks about playing characters with grey shades and living upto his serial kisser image. He said his character Shoaib works his way up through the streets. He lives in Dongri and is a crazy, wild child who cannot be controlled. His father and he are always at loggerheads because his father thinks he is not heading anywhere in life. He looks up to Sultan (Ajay Devgan) who is a smuggler. He wants to get into Sultan’s camp and he does so eventually.


He said he have seen so many gangster films, so he didn’t really require anything specific. Stories that you read everyday in the newspapers were the only inspiration and anyway we have grown up listening, hearing and watching so much about gangsters that it was like a dream-come-true to be able to play this role.

He speaks about ajay that Ajay is one of the easiest actors to work with and he has learnt so much from him. He is so giving as an actor and the intensity and the kind of performance he gives is effortless. He said that People seem to like him in rebellious, devious roles with some room for redemption. Anyway he doesn’t think that he fit into chocolate-boy kind of roles. He doesn’t like romantic comedies and he doesn’t understand that genre. As a kid, he always played with guns and now I get to play with them on screen. What better role could he have asked for?

Where the questions will be reduced in number, there will also be three experts live on the set to help the contestants. Sony Entertainment Television, the channel that has bought the rights for the show, is also all set with the new look of the logo of KBC. The former is reworking entirely on the look of the show. Now we hear that the famous KBC logo has also got a makeover which is incorporated by Big.


He suggested the channel to make a new logo in order to incorporate the Indian currency symbol about which he also tweeted, "Insisted to Sony to incorporate the new Rupee symbol in the KBC logo. They did. Looking so cool!!" "New logo for KBC ! Note the Rupee symbol incorporated in the design. My suggestion!! Yeahhh !! Feeling good (sic)," he added on the micro-blogging site and also posted a picture of the logo.  The new logo is more or less same as that of original one but the only difference is that the centre has six of the new Indian rupee symbols placed radially, which appears like a wheel. The symbol has been recently introduced by the government of India so incorporating it in the logo will enhance the contemporary look of the season.
