Dr.Kiran Bedi, IPS Officer is a role model to the women of substance:
- · According to Kiran Bedi , “My concept of a modern woman is a liberated woman. Educated or not, economically independent or not, such a woman is capable of taking her own decisions and standing by them, and-whether she suffers from them or not-she does not look for a shoulder to weep on.” Even so, she says, women “need more quality education and much more vocational training to become truly empowered.” Property ownership is another key to empowerment. “With ownership (or joint ownership),” she says, “a man cannot drink away the family’s property, or sell it and leave the woman and children on the street.· Accomplishing that goal has become the number one priority of the National Commission for Women in India, but the government continues to drag its feet. Political parties must come together in support of this program as well as in support of family planning and more equitable educational opportunities. If they do not, the next generation will not have enough schools, teachers, transportation, health care, housing, or work. Such a situation is a recipe for civil unrest.” For India as a whole, Kiran says, “the key to change lies in the empowerment of village women-the largest percentage of women in India-but change in rural areas is agonizingly slow in coming.”
· Empowerment is related to population. “India is a rich country and should be a beautifully developed country,” Kiran says. “If population had been controlled twenty years ago there would be surplus rather than scarcity, and current growth would not be held captive by the ever-present need to feed new mouths. Women must learn and be allowed to say, ‘No! I don’t want any more than this.’ When that day arrives, daughters will be seen to be as much of an asset as sons, because educated daughters will be as equally capable to take care of parents in their old age as sons. Therefore, economically empowered women are crucial in the struggle to shape a new India.”
· In 1994, backing up her commitment to support reform in several areas, Kiran created the India Vision Foundation, a registered nongovernmental organization designed to carry out projects in the fields of prison reform, drug abuse prevention, empowerment of women, assistance to the mentally disabled, and sports promotion.
· Kiran, who has lived most of her life in the public view, has become a role model for Indian women-the disadvantaged, the marginalized, and the voiceless. Many believe that she literally embodies the struggle for gender equality. She has constantly had to fight against the commonly accepted bias that she is, after all, only female. She has had to battle systems that codify the dehumanization of women, and cultures that are all too willing to toss the talents and potential contributions of women on the rubbish dump. Kiran’s “crimes” have included functioning as an equal, speaking the truth as she saw it, having and implementing original ideas, working hard, and garnering success. And her lack of interest in “playing the game,” within a service in which professionalism has been replaced by favouritism, has been costly both professionally and personally. Although she has realized her childhood dream to “count for something,” her path has not been easy or without the need for sacrifice.
· Even her achievements and awards for service fuel controversy. Some, in looking at her history, see a dedicated and successful officer. Others, generally from among the ranks of the privileged and powerful, see an uppity woman-a narcissistic, publicity-hungry, regulation-flaunting, self-serving, rogue officer who constantly needs to be kept in her place.
· There is no need to say anything specific about this great Indian,” says Gulzar, “She won the Magasaysay Award for her work among prisoners. She has shown what a police officer should be like to our country. She is an icon and a model for all Indian women. We are proud of her because of her many-splendour personality. Whichever function she graces, she adds enlightenment and humour to it. Hers is truly an awesome presence.”
· The first woman IPS officer of India was denied the post of the Commissioner of Police, Delhi. Known for her dedication, she changed the face of Tihar prison as IG, Prisons. She is known for her outstanding work as Police Advisor in the UN peacekeeping department.
· Kiran Bedi, New Delhi’s renowned Inspector General of Prisons, described her presence at Asia Plateau as `a pilgrimage fulfilled’. She had been the first woman recruited to the Indian Police Force, in the 1970s, and when supervisor of Asia’s largest prison, in New Delhi, had introduced Gandhian philosophy and practice. This had dramatically.
· Whatever the outcome, her commitment to family planning, prison reform, women’s emancipation, and education for independence will continue.
· As Kiran Bedi likes Anne Dresskell’s saying “If you look out to do something, it is always possible.”

Shah Rukh Khan (SRK)’s hallucination of owning a bungalow in Palm Island, Dubai has been fulfilled. After living in Mannat (his Bombay house), he is the owner of Jannat in Dubai. When asked him how big is his new dream project, he reciprocated that it is as big as his heart (which is quite big). He has recently been handed over the keys of the bungalow and the interior decoration of the bungalow will be done very shortly by Gauri Khan.
The Palm Island is the Live 8th Wonder of the World. Visualize the worlds largest man-made island in the shape of a palm tree. An unparalleled feat of engineering, architecture and planning. It is a place where lavishness meets design, thoughts meet realism and the unexpected becomes possible. The Palm Jumeirah Trunk is the hub of the island. It will be connected to a monorail system ensuring the convenience of residents, guests and tourists. Measuring 450 metres wide, with a central canal, The Trunk will be home to five-star hotels, beaches, luxury apartment buildings, marinas, Village Centre, restaurants, cafes and a variety of retail outlets.
Perhaps the most prestigious of all elements on The Trunk is The Golden Mile. The Golden Mile .The Golden Mile will encompass some of The Palms premiere retail shops and residences.
Interiors have been crafted with the same commitment to excellence. Bedrooms feature ceramic floors, spacious walk-in closets, insulated and double-glazed windows and tiled balconies.
It is understood that the King Khan got the bungalow in the sea as gift from the Government of Dubai. It seems he really wanted a change from hustle bustle of Mumbai as Dubai is very near to Mumbai , that’s why he has chosen this place.
An artificial peninsula, the Palm Island in Dubai was constructed with sand dredged from the bottom of the Persian Gulf. The sand is deposited with the help of a dredging ship which is guided to the right position and monitored by a GPS. This process is known as rain bowing. The outer most edge of the encircling crescent of each Palm Island in Dubai is actually a large rock breakwater which is placed by a crane and is given a GPS coordinate.
Each of the Palm Islands in Dubai are constructed in the shape of a date palm tree including its trunk, crown with fronds and finally surrounded by a crescent island . The islands are well equipped and have residential Villas, Luxury Hotels,Shoreline apartments, theme parks,shopping Malls,Cinemas etc.
Many high profile celebrities are in the waiting list of owning a bungalow in the palm island which includes Brad Pitt-Angelia Jolie, Bill Clinton, M.F. Hussain, Tom Cruise etc. etc. But only SRK is the only lucky man to get hold of the bungalow in the first instance.

- Goa is referred to as Pearl of the Orient lies on the coastline of India known as Konkan belt.
- The magnetism of Goa is that its residue is quite distinct from the rest of India and is small enough to be grasped and explored in a way that other Indian states are not.
- Goa has enjoyed a prominent place in the travellers’ lexicon since the heady days of the 1960s, Indian visitors and package tourists on two-week jaunts from Europe. The locals are relaxed and friendly, and skirts outnumber saris.
***Kerala (Munnar)
- Munnar lies in Idukki district, at the confluence of three mountain rivers.

The Places to Live and Work survey is the second part of the ET Western Region Business Review (WBR), an annual publication focusing on economic and social change in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Goa.
- I would recommend it as a safe and sound and beautiful and attractive serene, tranquil,calm,peaceful,still,restful and composed small city to settle down.

- For those who is looking for a scenic, picturesque,beautiful, attractive,lovely,charming and pretty place to live, Vizag is worth a million.
