The water level in the Yamuna is likely to rise by at least two metres above the danger mark by tomorrow evening due to release of over 8 lakh cusec water by Haryana, a prospect that has prompted authorities to ask people living in nearby low-lying areas to shift elsewhere. The river was flowing at 204.52 metres this morning, slightly less than the danger level of 204.83 metres.

If you are interested in socialising in the North West, there are 3 Durga Pujos that come to mind immediately. Firstly there is the one at Liverpool, probably the largest - http://www.liverpoolpuja.com/home.htm. This is organised by the Bengali Association of Merseyside and North of England. Then there is the one in Manchester - http://www.mcrdurgapuja.com, organised by the Greater Manchester Bengali Hindu Cultural Association. Lastly, there is the one in RVM UK Centre Bolton - http://www.rvmukcentre.com. This is more 'ghoroa', though getting busier every year. I tend to help out in the kitchen here and it is great fun! We also have a monthly prayer meeting invariably on the last Sunday of the month starting at 5pm. This is often followed by a small cultural program and 'bhog prosad'.

London is a destination which is quite favored by Indians because they get to eat delicious Indian food at best restaurants in London.
No matter whether you are fond of vegetarian or non-vegetarian food, you can have all on your table right in front of you. However before planning to eat Indian food, don’t visit any Indian restaurant having an Indian tag. One must cross check the quality of food served in the restaurant before visiting it. This is important because not all Indian restaurants are capable of providing excellent food and services. Visiting not-so-good restaurants can ruin your lunch or dinner so one must be cautious in advance.

Meet 18-year-old Diwakar Vaish. This youngster apart from others his age is his undeniable talent in the still-nascent field of robotics in India. He has created four humanoid robots (designed, created and programmed by him) that possess much of the physical functionality a human body does, and one -- Robot Isotope -- that can even do the Bhangra.
An admitted techno-freak, Diwakar spent much of his school years participating in tech competitions, and winning most. But what gave him the boost he needed was winning at Quanta, an international competition for robotics held in Lucknow in 2009, for which he created a race boat that beat out competition from 40 countries.

A day after he was overlooked for the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, shooter Gagan Narang won the bronze in the 10 metre air rifle event at the World Championship in Munich and became the first Indian to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics.
World No. 2 Narang shot 597 in the qualifying and 102 in the final round for a total of 699 to win the bronze. Olympic champion Abhinav Bindra finished a disappointing 25th and failed to qualify for the final round. Bindra had finished on the podium of the last World Championship, in 2006.
The gold went to Italian Niccolo Campriani, who shot a total of 702.5 (599 qualifying + 103.5 final) while Hungarian Peter Sidi bagged the silver with 700.4 points (599 qualifying + 101.4 final). “I am happy that another Indian has made it to the medals here in Munich,” said Narang after the awards.
“I have been struggling with the materials in the last months, but now it’s ok. I am ready to go for the Games,” he added.
National coach Sunny Thomas felt that the bronze was a fitting reply to the awards selection committee, headed by PT Usha.
“Even before the start Narang told me that he was sad after being left out.
“I told him just to go and bag a medal and show the whole world that he deserves the Khel Ratna,” Thomas said. Narang, who is now seen as India’s best bet in the Commonwealth Games, shot the bronze in his pet 10m air rifle event at the Beijing World Cup and qualified for the World Championships.
