Adnan Sami wants Indian Citizenship
Poor Adnan Sami, for the last three years he is trying to get Indian citizienship. The singer, a Pakistani national, owns a house in India, has a PAN card, and has now even applied for his marriage at the marriage registrar's office in Bandra.
The singer-cum-composer is anxious for Indian citizenship and is wearisome the whole lot to get one. Adnan married Dubai-based Sabah Galadari last April and applied for the marriage registration in October. But the marriage is yet to be registered.
This is Adnan's re-marriage with Sabah. The couple had married in September 2001 and separated in April 2004 after completing divorce proceedings in Dubai.
Adnan was married to Pakistani actress Zeba Bakhtiar before he married Sabah. He had stated many times before that Zeba was the real love of his life and the motivation behind his new sleuth look is the inspiration of Zeba. Meanwhile, his struggles to acquire Indian citizenship still continue. Initially, he seemed to have got a positive response to his application filed in November 2003. The singer had issued a notice in a newspaper in April 2005 announcing his desire for choosing Indian citizenship. However, it seems that his application is still pending.

SRK’s Credit Card used by Someone Else
King Khan recently lost his Credit card and passport after shooting in Santacruz in Mumbai. Incidentally three unknown persons shopped on SRK’s card in Shoppers Stop at at Nirmal Lifestyle Mall in Mulund (W). After splurging for an amout of Rs. 25,000, one of the persons knowingly or unknowingly signed his own signature on the voucher.
The alert salesman smelled fishy ,as he saw the name of SRK in the cardholders name and the signature was somebody else. The cops were summoned immediately and very inoffensively the accused pretended that he found the card lying on the roads. SRK’s statement is yet to be recorded.
Valentine’s Day
One of the main legendry story of Valentine's Day is named after a Roman priest called Valentine in the period of the birth of Christianity in Rome during the third century. The Emperor at that time, Claudius II, regimented the Roman soldiers not to marry or get engaged as he was of the view that an unmarried or affianced man would be more trustworthy to the defence force. Valentine nonetheless, did not accept this as true in this new rule and thus he secretly allowed many to get married and was witness to it. He was in the long run caught, detained and beheaded by the emperor's supporters. Valentine was beheaded on the 14th February. He was ultimately made a saint and Valentine’s Day is in memory of him.
Valentines Day is basically a Christian festival, occupied by the English folks to America, popularised in America, and the so called privileged Indians, due to their canopy adoration of anything western, singled out this one up also and in full swing started celebrating this. This was further aided by unashamedly western media and the gifts and other related commercial folks - who found a good economic sagacity in encouraging the carnival.
Many times we see anti-Valentines Day protests witnessed annually in India. Hundreds of protests take place across the country on February 14th against the celebration of Valentines Day. Valentines cards were burnt, slogans shouted, and in some cases, couples were beaten up who were found making shows of liking that the protesters deemed out of place. Without knowing the heads and tails of this sacred day, the hindus make a fuss of in all these activities . In Christianity the sacred days of great Saints are celebrated by observing prayers, fasting and feasting. Nowhere it is written that couples should adore on this day or exchange expensive gifts and other paraphernalia associated with it. To know the origins of Valentine day, you have to be a Christian first.
I would say Hindus are a copy cat race or they suffer from failure complex. I am yet to see the Indian Christians or even the English celebrating diwali, holi, navratri or any other hindu festivals , with so much trumpet blast and embellishment, although the English ruled India for 250 years.
If you are really in affection in any kind of relationship, whether it is husband-wife, brother-sister or even in an ordinary friendship you don’t really need any unique day to celebrate.
