High-voltage suicide excitement ends safe and sound

  • A suicide attempt by a 40-year-old Indian was thwarted by Dubai Police on Friday afternoon after over 15 hours of dialogue. Murugeshan, a helper from the southern Indian city Chennai, was rescued at 12.45pm. He was detained by the Dubai Police for interrogation.
  • The high voltage drama began on Thursday evening around 9.30pm when Murugeshan climbed atop a 30-metre, 32 KV cable tower after drinking alcohol.
  • Electricity through the cable was cut off and officials from the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) rushed to the spot along with Civil Defence personnel, police and para-medics.

“It was nerve-racking. The weather was chilly. The man had perched himself on top of the cable tower. We tried to persuade him to get down and not to try something foolish. He was just not in a mood to listen. Senior officials from Dubai Police, Dubai Civil Defence and a team of paramedics kept vigil under the tower,” said Captain ,Air and Fire rescue, Dubai Civil Defence.

“Murugeshan wanted to speak to his relative. He was making wild demands and changing his mind in minutes,” said Al Rahoomi.

  • Murugeshan has been working in the UAE for three months and consumed alcohol. He is married with four children. Murugeshan had first demanded a piece of land on which he wanted to built a factory.
  • After smoking two cigarettes, speaking to a relative on the mobile and sipping some water, Murugeshan finally agreed to be rescued at 12.45pm.
  • He was brought down handcuffed and was immediately whisked off to the Bur Dubai police station.
  • Consuming liquor in this part of Arab country is itself outlawed, and Murugesh has wrecked the law by ingestion of liquor and used public possessions with no good reason for his imprudent demands, he is probably likely to get a good reprimand for the action, as this is UAE where each person is accountable for their action and conduct, dissimilar to India where citizens are left scot-free for all deeds of these stuff.

Sharukh the undisputed King Of "Bollywood"Filed Under: Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan

Desi sharukh-the-undisputed-king-of-bollywood Sharukh the  undisputed King Of "Bollywood"

 

  • Who is the star of Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan or Akshay Kumar? Many found this question to be very dumb –“It is Shah Rukh, of course!’’ they said.
  • There was online voting done and Sharukh did win the poll. This was not unexpected as it was somewhat expected.
  • Shah Rukh Khan did win the poll and that didn’t surprise us. What did was the large number of readers who voted for Akshay Kumar too! Looks like he is next on the confederacy.
  • The main reason Sharukh was voted was  because of his adaptability which spans across genres such as romance, excitement, comedy and action - not unlike Amitabh Bachchan who ruled Bollywood in the 70s and 80s.

Who will go away with the title? Amul Star Voice of India |Ishmeet or Harshit on 24th November, 2007Filed Under: Star Plus, Star Voice Of India

Who will go away with the title? Amul Star Voice of India….

Ishmeet or Harshit on 24th November, 2007.

    HarshitIshmeet

  • Very few days ahead

With lessening number of days & increasing anxiety level, Amul STAR Voice of India is reaching the zenith where anxiety & ecstasy will successfully intermingle with enchantment & excitement. The final 2 contestants of the season’s biggest singing talent hunt show are now counting days for the finale – ‘the day’ when the entire nation will rock on their seats with their first ‘STAR Voice of India’.

  • The final two contenders

VOI has reached its final stage and only two participants, Harshit and Ishmeet are left eminence among thousands of hopefuls and months of arduous auditions and eliminations.

Some viewers might not be satisfied with the finalists, but at the end of the day its the majority vote that counts. And if the masses think Harshit and Ishmeet are justifiable then it doesn’t really matter what the classes say. Now the fascinating curl would be to see who will the Abhaas loyalists vote for - Harshit of Ishmeet?

  • Ishmeet, the shy sardar from Punjab:

Ishmeet is not a bad singer, he is simple, nice, responsive boy who felt very hurt by the nasty, racist comments.  Ishmeet has the potential, with training and practice, to make a great singer. I think that if somebody does not have a sweet voice, he can practice and practice and become a great singer… from a technical point of view(which is what the judges are looking at mostly).Well That will never win people’s hearts.  He was in the Chakravat only once (programming glitch!), never got the lowest votes, never got the highest votes either.

  • Harshit, simple boy from UP

Harshit Saxena is a inhibited and undemanding boy from Lucknow . There is nothing tremendous forte about his voice. He took his blind grand mother’s support in getting votes. Since there are not much choices, may be, he may win.    Once or twice he forgot his lines during the performance {eh..amnesia!} [guys. this never happened with Ishmeet, that can be classified as a plus point for Ishmeet].

Left to a middle-of-the-road person like me, I am not in favour nor against these contenders.  My all time favourite singer was Sumitra Iyer who has been voted out (courtesy: Alka). Sumitra was a full package, she had voice, poise, personality, composure ,confidence and captivating voice. Alka was never in that girls’ favour. Anyhow past is history and tomorrow is mystery.

It is after all a fame contest too - the ultimate winner of SVOI will have to do playback singing and sell albums. So it doesn’t matter where the votes come from - Punjab, UP, MP or UK or US…..

  • Lata Mankeshwar to grace the occasion:

To gear up the excitement Lata Mankeshwar, the singing kokila of India  will mark her presence   on 24th November 2007 to give the final verdict on the only Amul STAR Voice of India. It is understood that Lataji herself will have the discretion of selecting the Amul VOI as she will be the Chief Guest and Super Judge.
