| Did Albert Einstein starve his Wife for Sex ? Posted: 30 Apr 2012 09:01 AM PDT  Albert Einstein While the world knows Albert Einstein for his theory of general relativity which effected a revolution in physics, a book has revealed the genius expected his wife to abide by a cruel list of rules which included sex ban. Einstein barred Mileva Maric from sitting with him or going out together – and even ordered to “stop talking to me if I request it”, The Sun reported. He made clear that sex was a no-no saying: “You will not expect intimacy from me.” The list revealed in Einstein: His Life and Universe states that he insisted she tidied his study, did his laundry and gave him “three meals regularly”. These were his conditions for them to stay together for the sake of sons Hans and Eduard as their 11-year marriage foundered in 1914. Within months, his fed-up Serbian missus, 39, fled Berlin with the kids for Zurich and had a breakdown. They divorced in 1919. Einstein, famed for his E=MC2 theory, later wed cousin Elsa and died in 1955, aged 76. |

Ariful Sheikh today returned home in Murshidabad district after spending a year in a Bangladesh jail along with his grandparents after being sentenced to two months in prison for trespassing. Ariful and his grandparent–Hashimuddin Sheikh (48) and Mafroza Khatun (40)–reached Gede border checkpoint in Nadia district by road through western Chuadanga frontier in Bangladesh at 11.30 am, Murshidabad police said. Setting foot on Indian soil, Sheikh, a farmer, said, “it feels good to be returning home after such a long time”. Ariful’s parents said they were happy to be finally reunited with their son. “I am very happy and I thank everyone for their help and support,” his mother said. Asked where was he for the past one year, Ariful promptly said, “jailkhana”(jail), and when further asked in which country he replied, “Bangladesh”. Ariful had accompanied his grandparents to the neighbouring country in April last year to visit an ailing relative there. The three were arrested while returning from Bangladesh on April 15, 2011 after they were found travelling without proper travel documents, police said. The family hails from Gajadhar Para near Baharampur. They were sentenced to a two-month jail term by a judicial magistrate court in Kushthia in Bangladesh and fined Taka 500 (about Rs 300). Although their term ended in June last, they had been languishing in Kushtia jail even after their prison term was over and an order to be repatriated to India. Deputy Commissioner or Administrative Chief of western Kushtia district, Banamali Bhoumik, told in Dhaka on phone that the district administration arranged a special car for the three to be taken to neighbouring Chuadanga, amid an opposition enforced nationwide daylong shutdown. They crossed the Darshana border with the help of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and their Indian counterparts Border Security Force (BSF). Later, the BSF handed them over to Murshidabad police, BSF sources said |

| Sale of Gandhi’s Charkha grows by 300 percent Posted: 30 Apr 2012 05:43 AM PDT Mahatma Gandhi’s eternal companion Charkha has touched new levels of popularity among his followers as the sale of the hand spinning wheel has tripled in the last year from the Sabarmati Ashram here. The Father of the Nation used charkha as a tool to promote economic self-sufficiency during the British rule and bring awareness about his `swadeshi’ movement. Charkhas are available in three different sizes and priced at Rs 100, Rs 200 and Rs 300 apiece, Secretary of the Sabarmati Ashram Amrut Modi said. “In FY 2010-11, the sale of charkhas was to the tune of Rs 3 lakh, which surged to Rs 9 lakh in 2011-12. I have not seen the sale go up in this manner in my entire life,” he said. “The reason for increase in the sale of charkhas, as I can see, is that Mahatma Gandhi’s following has increased world-wide. His message of non-violence and truth have become more relevant in these disturbing times.” “What we have done over the last few years is that we demonstrate, to the visitors coming to the Ashram, how hand spun thread is formed by spinning the charkha.” Gandhian Kishorebhai Gohil holds charkha sessions at the Hriday Kunj, the place where Gandhiji stayed in the ashram, for visitors, he said. “Gohil explains how thread is spun from cotton. Visitors are allowed to try their hands on charkha and many of them find the whole experience amazing,” Modi added. Gandhi used to daily spin charkha in morning and evening at the ashram, produce khadi from it and wore cloths made from them to promote self-reliance. |
