Neighbour arrested for raping three-year-old children
A 55 year-old man was arrested for allegedly raping two minors in a village, police said. The minors, around three years of age, were allegedly raped by their neighbour on September 20, they said.
Both the girls have been admitted to a district hospital, Deputy Superintendent (City) Anil Kumar Singh said, adding that an FIR was lodged by the father of one of the minors on Friday.

Manisha Koirala: It's perfectly fine to prioritise yourself
Actress Manisha Koirala says it is okay to be a bit selfish and look after oneself. "I have redefined the term ‘selfish'. Looking after oneself is important and this includes both the physical and emotional aspects," Manisha wrote along with an image of herself on Instagram on Saturday.
"It is okay to be sad. We are multidimensional beings. The emotional aspect matters a great deal to me. It pulls me down and manifests itself in my body. So, I now emphasise that it is perfectly fine to prioritise yourself," added the actress.
On the work front, she had mesmerised audiences with her performances in films like "Saudagar", "Khamoshi: The Musical", "Mann", "Dil Se.." and "1942: A Love Story". Of late, Manisha has fetched praise for her performance in Rajkumar Hirani's "Sanju" -- in which she has played the iconic Nargis Dutt -- and Netflix's anthology "Lust Stories".
Manisha, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, will also reportedly be authoring a book about the experience of su..

Danica Patrick wants people to take fitness seriously
Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick follows a strict workout regimen to stay fit. In her health and fitness book, Pretty Intense, she describes herself as 25 per cent weightlifter, 50 per cent CrossFitter, 20 per cent sprinter and five per cent distance runner. Patrick admitted she is like everyone when it comes to not wanting to train sometimes.
In a recent interview with American newspaper, USA Today, she shared easy fitness tips one can follow. They are: Plan ahead, don't be scared of challenging workouts, when tired go for a walk and most importantly watch what you are eating. "I definitely have some days where I'm a little less energetic. I would say that having a little bit of a schedule for your workout tends to get you doing it.
"Having a designated space to do it is also helpful if you're doing it at home, so you have a purposeful place for it. If you are in one of those days and you're just tired, or it's cloudy, or maybe you're exhausted from travelling or from work or fam..

Parks to remain open for 12 hours/day, says Civic body
It's official, Mumbaikars can now start and end their day at their neighbourhood garden. On Friday, BMC chief Ajoy Mehta finally issued the official order to the Garden Department to keep gardens open for at least 12 hours a day.

This paper, through the Garden Safety Audit Round Table, has constantly been reporting about citizens' demand for longer access to better parks. mid-day had first reported on July 26 that the civic body was considering keeping gardens open for 12 hours.

John Abraham releases poster of his next, Batla House
After the massive success of Satyameva Jayate, the team – Bhushan Kumar, Nikkhil Advani and John Abraham come back together for a thriller drama 'Batla House'. The first look poster of the film was released on Saturday.
Keeping its holiday date like this year, John Abraham will portray the role inspired by Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, who spearheaded the Batla House encounter. The poster was launched with a day prior build up by the team, who launched two teaser posters giving a background of the incident the film is based on.

Shane Warne's flirty Tinder messages leaked online
Looks like Australian spin great Shane Warne, 49, has gone back to his flirty ways. According to a report in British tabloid, The Daily Mail, the messages he exchanged with a woman, aged 24, in London, have been leaked online.
The messages were exchanged between June and August, when the woman, who got in touch with Warne on Tinder, decided to stop talking to him when he tried to reconnect in August. The conversations started after their profiles matched on June 6.
"Hello, you look amazing. Are you Australian? I love the accent!" she wrote. To which, Shane replied: "Yes, I'm Australian! PS Awwww, thank you. Looks like we're close." Shane's last message was sent to her on August 7, to which the woman didn't reply. "Hello stranger! How are you? I'm in need of some naughty fun — want to play?" wrote Warne. "It sounds like he does this regularly," the woman told the tabloid yesterday.

Where-house parties
It was a night that beggared belief. We had never seen anything like it in Mumbai in recent memory. Helena Hauff, an underground German DJ who plays no-questions-asked techno tracks, had taken over the console before a packed crowd at Famous Studios, Mahalaxmi.
Around 700 people had spilled over into the smoking alley just outside the large performance space, even as neon strobe lights washed over the indoor area, while the thumping tracks left people's ears ringing. It was, in effect, what you call a warehouse party, the likes of which we remember witnessing in the outskirts of Birmingham, an ex-industrial city where defunct car factories have now been turned into nightlife venues. The closest you'll get to the same vibe in this city is usually inside clubs like Kitty Su, where similar events are a dime a dozen. But you can't really call those warehouse gigs since they are way too sanitised. And to have one in a venue like Famous Studios, where a large empty room is temporarily turne..

"I come from a small town Balrampur in UP. There is a small village near there, called Mahadev, I was born there. I have faced issues like sanitation, electricity, etc. Since I have faced real issues, I can connect with it," Singh told PTI.
As a director, Singh considers himself lucky as he did not feel burdened despite the presence of stars like Akshay Kumar and Shahid.
"In the two films, both Akshay and Shahid have played roles that are against their image and I am grateful for the support. I want more people to listen to the issue so the reach is wider wit..
Finding Manto in the city
Who is a greater short story writer, Manto or God? Saadat Hasan Manto contemplated the question on the epitaph he wrote and breathed his last, aged 43 in Lahore. Little did he know that his prolific writing, where he chronicled stories of Partition, would become prophetic. After making waves at the Cannes Film Festival, the film Manto written and directed by Nandita Das, starring Nawazuddin Siddique and Rasika Dugal takes centre stage in India this weekend. And there's no better way to learn about the man than his own words. Although Manto mainly wrote in Urdu, one can find his translated works in both English and Hindi.

Maryland woman kills self after shooting three dead
A woman opened fire with a handgun on Thursday at the warehouse where she worked in the eastern US state of Maryland, killing three people and wounding another three in the country's latest mass shooting, police said.
The suspect -- identified as Snochia Moseley, 26 -- died after shooting herself in the head, said Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler. Gahler said Moseley was a temporary employee at the distribution centre for the Rite Aid drugstore chain in Aberdeen, Maryland.
"We do not have a motive for this senseless crime," he said, but terrorism did not appear likely. The sheriff said the three wounded victims were hospitalized and were expected to survive. Gahler said Moseley lived in Baltimore County and the handgun she used in the attack, a 9mm Glock, was registered under her name. He said she was armed with the single handgun and several magazines.

Bigg Boss s***ks again, and Ranbir and Alia are officially an 'item'
To start with, if you guys want to follow a really drool-worthy boy on Instagram, let it be Noah Centineo. The actor, who is recently trending worldwide thanks to the movies Sierra Burgess is a Loser and To All The Boys I Have Loved Before, is quite easy on the yes, and I promise a dose of him every day will keep all sorts of blues away.
Also, I know I am sort of obsessed with Ranbir Kapoor, and hence, I have to say that Alia Bhatt's Instagram wall is now full of pictures of him (and Ayan Mukherjee too). And regardless of what people may say (my friends think he destroys every woman he loves. One of them called him vampire and said, look at Katrina now. I looked at Katrina and she looks fine BTW), I love seeing them together. Aren't they just the most talented people in Bollywood right now. So, it makes sense they are together right. Who cares what people say? Go #Ranlia. Yes, I did that. What else could it be? #Alibir? Someone stop me. But since we are talking about Alia, she is fina..

Kerala Nun Rape Case: Pope relieves Bishop of diocese duties
Senior Catholic priest, Franco Mulakkal, has been temporarily relieved of his pastoral duties by Pope Francis. A statement issued by the Apostolic Nunciature, the representative of the Holy Sea in India, stated that "The Holy Father has received the request of Rt. Rev. Bishop Franco Mulakkal to be temporarily relieved of his pastoral responsibilities in the Diocese of Jullundur. Having considered all circumstances the Holy Father has accepted this request of Bishop Mulakkal.
The move comes days after the Bishop, who allegedly raped a nun, wrote to the Pope, the highest authority in the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy, expressing his desire to 'temporarily step aside' from the responsibilities of the diocese, allowing him time to fight his case and repeated travels to Kerala, where the case is lodged.
The statement from the Nunciature added that Titular bishop of Molicunza and Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Bombay, Agnelo Rufino Gracias will stand for Bishop Malakkal in the latter's abs..
The House with a clock in its walls: Dull and unimpressive
The House With A Clock In Its WallsU/A; Comedy, Fantasy, FamilyCast: Cate Blanchett, Kyle MacLachlan, Jack Black, Colleen Camp, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Vanessa WilliamsDirector: Eli RothRatings:
A title like this can be a put-off by itself. Horror film expert Eli Roth's first adaptation of a literary work, John Bellair's novel of the same name, a Gothic attempt at family film horror fantasy, is so uninteresting that it could put you off to sleep.
The story is routine. A tragically orphaned pre-teen misfit Lewis( Owen Vaccaro) finds himself alienated in his new school, misses his dead parents, and tries to impress a potential friend Tarby(Sunny Suljic) by misusing his new found magical powers. His kooky uncle Jonathan (Jack Black) and the latter's spinster neighbour Mrs Zimmerman(Cate Blanchett) are not amused though.

Snake undergoes MRI scan for broken spine in Mumbai
An injured snake, which was found in Dahisar in Mumbai on Friday underwent an MRI scan for its broken spine. It is now recovering after treatment. The snake, a bamboo pit viper, was found beaten with sticks in Dahisar. The venomous serpent was spotted by a local hawaldar, who handed it over to Anil Kubal, a snake rescuer.
The serpent was taken to the clinic of veterinary doctor Deepa Katyal in Chembur where it was found its spine had got damaged. The snake was then assessed for actual damage to the spine and for that high-end technology such as MRI was used. Radiologist Dr. Ravi Thapar carried out the MRI scan for the bamboo pit viper.
Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, scanning uses magnetism, radio waves, and a computer to produce images of body structures. "For the first time I have performed an MRI scan on a snake. The machine is generally used for humans," said Dr. Thapar.
According to Dr. Trisha DSouza, a veterinarian who was also involved in treatment, the reptile is respond..

Mousumi Khatua: First Bengali woman to summit Mount Damavand
New Delhi: Legendary India mountaineer Bachendri Pal, who summited Mt. Everest in 1984, once said, "Adventure should be part of everyone's life. It is the whole difference between being fully alive and just existing." Mousumi Khatua made it a philosophy of her life and scripted history as she became the first woman from Kalyani City, West Bengal to climb Asia's highest volcanic peak Mount Damavand.
Mousumi along with ace mountaineer, Satyarup Siddhanta, and Bhaswati Chatterjee began the expedition to Mt. Damavand, the highest peak in Iran and a potentially active volcano, in the first week of September and reached its summit on September 10.
At an elevation of 5,610 meters, Mt. Damavand is known for its Sulphur discharge near its peak which can cause irreparable damage if exposed for a longer duration. The determination and thrill to unfurl the national flag at the summit kept Mousumi motivated even as the third member of the team Bhaswati decided to stay back after advancing till 4,..

Out-of-college experience
One avenue that college students have to express themselves culturally is through festivals. But a group of students from Jai Hind College started an initiative a couple of years ago that offers an alternative. It involves them associating with different venues across the city to host events based on music, poetry and other forms of art. And the latest installment for it is slated for early next week, at a performance space in Andheri.
But it's not that only students from their own college get to showcase talent on this platform, which is called Jai Hind Music Café. Youngsters from across educational institutions in the city have the same opportunity. This edition focuses on music and poetry, with four acoustic musicians and three poets on the line-up. They are Vishnu Jampa, Yash Warrier, Sanjana Devarajan and Ryan Lobo (music), and Sanjana Rao, Karthik Kaushik and Shobhit Narang (poetry), of whom only Lobo, Rao and Narang are from Jai Hind.
The group offers a chance for stude..

HDFC VP's murder: Cops rope in expert interrogators to nail truth
When accused Sarfaraz Shaikh kept floating theories about what had happened on the day HDFC Vice-President Siddharth Sanghavi was found murdered, senior cops were left with no option but to rope in the investigators of the 1993 blasts and Sheena Bora murder cases - Dinesh Kadam and Sukhlal Varpe - to nail the truth.
The incident came to light on September 5 when Sanghavi, a Malabar Hill resident, went missing from his office at Kamala Mills. The following day, police found his car at Koparkhairne. Acting on a tip off, the Navi Mumbai cops arrested Shaikh on September 9.

Gurinder Chadha to film biopic on rapper Apache Indian
Currently in India to promote his upcoming single, Punjabi Girl, Birmingham-born Steven Kapur, popularly known as Apache Indian, revealed to mid-day that a film about his life is in the pipeline. "Tell India to look forward to the Apache Indian movie, which will hit screens in India in a few years," the rapper teases, adding that director Gurinder Chadha is penning the script. "She's doing it," Apache says when he's prodded about whether the deal with the filmmaker has been sealed.
Talking about the biopic, he adds, "The film is my true story. It's about my 27-year-long career and will take [the viewer through my life in] England to Jamaica, and then India."

mid day editorial: All abuse victims, men or women, need support
This paper's front-page piece about a Reiki master from Dadar, who has been accused of inappropriate conduct and abuse of his male students, has touched a chord among citizens. The guru, who is a significant name in healing circles, has been called out on social media for his behaviour. The survivors have not filed a formal complaint yet, and this teacher, who has remained silent, has plenty of support. However, this edit is not about who is right or wrong.
Such cases need to be a learning lesson for society, which still has some stereotypes to smash when it concerns sexual abuse or molestation. We must understand that men, too, can be victims of abuse. There is a tendency to laugh off, ridicule or scorn male survivors of sexual abuse. Their suffering or experience is often disbelieved or diminished.
One must remember the late cricket writer Peter Roebuck — a male survivor of Roebuck's abuse had confessed that his targets were ashamed that society would make them feel emasculat..

Kanika Kapoor: Glad to see non-film music reaching mass audience
Known for giving an array of hit Bollywood songs like "Chittiyaan kalaiyyan" and "Baby doll", singer Kanika Kapoor, who has come up with her latest single "Cheater Mohan", feels happy to see that her non-movie song is reaching a wide audience.

"I wanted to make a song which is enjoyed by everyone -- from children to an old person. So, I narrated ..

Dominic Thiem enters St Petersburg Open semis
Top-seeded Austrian Dominic Thiem prevailed over home-crowd favourite Daniil Medvedev 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (7-2) to book a place in the semi-finals of the St Petersburg Open. The eighth-ranked Thiem got a stern test from the 35th-ranked Russian in their first career match, which lasted just over two hours on Friday.
Although Thiem easily won the opener, Medvedev won the second set by saving all the five break points he faced and snagging one break of serve, reports Efe news. Thiem, however, clinched victory in the third set tie-breaker after failing to convert a match point earlier in the decider.
Next up for Thiem on Saturday will be Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut, who got past third-seeded Italian Marco Cecchinato 7-6 (7-0), 6-3 in an hour and 26 minutes. Wild card Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland topped sixth-seeded Bosnian Damir Dzumhur 6-3, 6-4 to set up a semi-final clash against Slovakia's Martin Klizan, who rallied from a break down in the second set to defeat Canadian rising star Denis..
United Nations General Assembly Memorial held for Kofi Annan
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said the UN and Kofi Annan (the late former UN secretary-general) were inseparable and it is impossible to say where one ended and the other began.
Guterres on Friday led a list of diplomats, staff and family members speaking in the UN General Assembly Hall at a memorial tribute to Annan, who died on August 18 in Geneva after a short illness, a Nobel laureate and native of Ghana, Xinhua reported. "Kofi Annan was uncommonly warm, accessible and of the people -- but above all he was principled and forceful in battling for the values of the UN Charter," said Guterres. "He was charming and wise, kind and courageous. But he also knew how to deliver the barb -- in his masterly subtle way."
"And sometimes, people were so captivated by his presence that they did not realize that they were being admonished!" said Guterres, who was appointed by Annan as High Commissioner for Refugees in 2005. But, "Throughout his tenure Kofi Annan urged us never to be ..
