Amisha Patel's sensuousness was never in doubt, but like fine wine, she has become sexier now. TOI bumped into Amisha, who enjoyed getting ready for a hot photo-shoot. And, boy she did get the temperature to soar.

Effortless and relaxed, she made Dabboo Ratnani's shutter go crazy about her charm, body and raw sensuality.

The pretty actress admits that she is in her best shape ever. "I'm sexier than ever right now and I can feel it. During Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic (the 2008 film in which she wore a yellow bikini and seduced Saif Ali Khan underwater) I was in good shape. But I wanted to better the standard that I had already set on screen. I followed a healthy diet chart and worked out regularly. I didn't kill myself exercising and I don't believe in dieting. One has to eat right and healthy," she says.

Just before she struck a pose in her ganjee and shorts, Amisha said, "It's this sexy girl-next-door look that I have. I'm not in your face obvious. It's a look that a friend of mine came up with especially for me when I went to a party wearing a pair of shorts and a tee."

While many B-town divas have an international body type, which is the size-zero, Amisha says, "I don't believe in size zero. I believe in having curves. A man's body is different from a woman's and women should have curves. That's hot! A woman shouldn't be thin as a stick and look like a clothes hanger. I have always worked out appropriately, so that I have a curvaceous body and thankfully I'm very happy with the body I have. When you look good, you feel happy and I'm in that space at the moment."

Amisha has Run Bhola Run and Chatur Singh Two Star releasing soon and she is enjoying the compliments that she has been receiving. "I have worked a lot on myself and it feels good when people notice it," she says.

Meanwhile, celebrity photographer Dabboo who shot this photograph said, "Amisha's smile is fabulous and her body is perfect now. I can see the effort that she has put in to get it all right. It takes a lot of dedication. She is looking hotter than ever before."

Black money list revealed, Kochi IPL owners exposed

by--punem sexena=NEW DELHI: The veil of secrecy on the list of Indians who have stashed black money in foreign banks has finally been lifted.

Two investigations, one by Tehelka and the other by news channel Headlines Today, have revealed the names of 15 Indians, who have stashed their black money in the LGT bank of Liechtenstein, a well-known tax haven nation, 190 km fromMunich, Germany.


While Tehelka has only listed the names of the 15 Indians, Headlines Today investigations exposes the identity of the fifteen.


According to the channel, the list exposes the Kochi IPL co-owners, the Mehta brothers.


The list revealed by the two investigations includes...


1. Manoj Dhupelia
2. Rupal Dhupelia
3. Mohan Dhupelia
4. Hasmukh Gandhi
5. Chintan Gandhi
6. Dilip Mehta
7. Arun Mehta
8. Arun Kochar
9. Gunwanti Mehta
10. Rajnikant Mehta
11. Prabodh Mehta
12. Ashok Jaipuria
13. Raj Foundation
14. Urvashi Foundation
15. Ambrunova Trust


Headlines Today claims the co-owners of Kochi IPl are on the list and the government agencies are investigating the details and the source of their black money.


Tehelka, meanwhile, has claimed that it has not made public the details of the fifteen as it has approached each of them and is yet to get their response.


Germany had officially handed over this list to the Indian Government on March 18, 2009. This means it is almost two years since the Indian Government had information about the names and bank account details of these eighteen Indians.


The black money list has been a subject of suspense and political debate with Prime MinisterManmohan Singh and finance minister Pranab Mukherjee stating that this list cannot be disclosed to the Indian people and the opposition parties demanding that the government divulge all the details.


The matter even attracted some strong comments from the Supreme Court.

2G scam: CBI grills Raja for the fourth time

BY-Punem Sexena _NEW DELHI: Former telecom minister A Raja is being grilled by the CBI for the fourth time in connection with the 2G spectrum scam.

Raja reached CBI headquarters early on Wednesday morning for another round of questioning by the investigative agency.

CBI sleuths had questioned Raja for the third time on Monday.

According to sources, CBI asked him about the role of some of his kin in a few offshoot companies of some telecom firms besides the flow of funds.

Following this on Tuesday, the CBI had quizzed Raja's brother and a close associate.

Official sources said Raja's brother - A Kaliya Perumal was questioned for over seven hours at the agency's headquarters.

They said a close associate of Raja was also questioned.

Sources said the agency is in the process of questioning everyone whose premises were searched by it in connection with its ongoing probe into the scam.

Though officials were tight-lipped about the line of questioning, sources said, Perumal was questioned on certain financial transactions and his dealings with certain firms.

Raja was forced to resign on November 14 last year in the wake of the CAG report which held that the spectrum allocation at undervalued prices resulted in a notional loss of Rs 1.76 lakh crore to the state exchequer.

Raja got the telecom portfolio on May 18, 2007 and was re-elected as a member of the 15th Lok Sabha and continued as telecom minister from May 31, 2009, till November 14, 2010 before he tendered his resignation.

The Supreme Court has asked CBI and Enforcement Directorate to submit status reports on their investigations into the 2G spectrum case to it by February 10 when the case will come up for further hearing.

In its FIR, CBI mentioned the loss as Rs 22,000 crore based on CVC findings which had referred the case to it.

The India story is losing its plot

-by-punem sexena-Over the past few days, many have remarked on the curious spectacle of TV anchors in colourful woollies talking to Indian notables in their cashmere overcoats about Indian issues, amid idyllic snow-covered surroundings. Don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong in interrogating Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Kamal Nath or, for that matter, Rahul Bajaj and Uday Kotak on the Indian economy and the "governance deficit". But why not do it in Delhi and Mumbai? Must we literally reduce the annual World Economic Forum jamboree in Davos to an 'India adda'?

These are not the envious and insolent gripes of someone who has never had the privilege of visiting Davos during the Rich List season. There is a larger issue. The WEF meet in Davos isn't by any reckoning an India seminar. While India isn't the incidental footnote it was in the early-1990s, global investors don't also see it as the obsession it was in 1492 when Columbus embarked on his search for the elusive western sea route from Europe. "Amongst the delegates," wrote stockbroker Paul Fletcher in a blog from Davos, "there is a feeling that if we hear another session on demographics or China versus India we may protest."

Such a forthright disregard for the so-called 'India story' may understandably offend nationalist sentiments and bring on the 'west versus rest' polarization that keeps many public intellectuals in business. But the harsh truth is that India has been sold, re-sold and re-re-sold in so many samosa and Sula evenings that it has lost novelty. The Davos lot is aware and excited by India's potential — who wouldn't be at the thought of a 91 million-strong middle class by 2030? They are also aware but a little less moved by the realization that calculating opportunity costs aren't among the inherited attributes of the timeless "ancient civilization, new nation" (India's self-description in the billboards of Davos).

The irritation at the mismatch between words and deeds has begun to show: the latest report by the Reserve Bank of India shows that foreign direct investment in India declined by 36% between April and September 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. This decline coincides with FDI growth of 17% in non-Arab Asia. Whispers from North Block suggest that thanks to a rampaging minister of environment, the story for the next six months may be equally discouraging. As talk of a "governance deficit" becomes all-pervasive, 'India inclusive'—another promotional line in Davos—is increasingly being seen as the eyewash for 'India elusive'.

It is not as if those quizzed by the Indian media on the 2G licences and uncompetitive interest rates are unaware of the emerging wrinkles on the face of Bharat Mata. It is an open secret that the mood in Indian business circles is distinctly downbeat. They know that the 'India story' is meandering.

Yet, Davos 2011 has an India story, but a hidden one. On the face of it, the CII is putting on a brave face, hosting the 'India adda' (which, incidentally, in colloquial Bangla, implies a convivial but purposeless interaction) and doggedly selling India as a worthwhile alternative to both China and the troubled west. As a collective, Indian business is doing its patriotic bit. At the level of the corporation, however, its Davos mission is different. The networking of corporate bigwigs is guided by a sharp eye for opportunities outside India, not least, in the west. India Inc is hedging its bets.

The trend is unmistakable. According to a Columbia University study, Indian companies invested more than $75 billion overseas between 2000 and 2010. This included some $14 billion invested by the Tata group in the United Kingdom. Indian companies are now the second largest investors in UK, the third largest in Germany and their investments in Indonesia may touch $15 billion. RBI figures reveal that Indian FDI in the British Virgin Islands rose 102% to touch $542 million in 2010; and in the Channel Islands, it amounted to $516 million in 2010 against a modest $44 million in 2009. And these are just the 'white', kosher investments.

The reasons why Indian business is exploring alternatives to India are well known. For the past few years, the business environment has become increasingly wayward and unfriendly. From growing infrastructural bottlenecks to red tape and corruption, the cost of business is becoming too expensive and troublesome. The larger stability needed for sustained growth has been replaced by social tension and political venality. Against these hassles, even the high-cost west seems tempting.

Global capitalism has a sharp antenna. Its stalwarts may leave Davos and its adda with a quirky poser: the future could belong to Indians but does it belong to India?punemsexesena@gmail.com 

Reservist Vets Need Help at Home

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have posed a unique set of psychological challenges to troops due to multiple tours of duty and a significantly greater prevalence of brain injury, among other factors.

As a result, members of the military deployed in these wars have the highest rates of post-traumatic stress disorder on record, and one in seven veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan suffers from major depression.
In fact, in 2009, mental illnesses were responsible for more hospitalizations among service members than any other illness, costing the Pentagon 488 years in lost duty.
According to national reports, 18 veterans complete suicide every day, and they comprise 20 percent of all suicides in the United States. We know there are many more soldiers in crisis who could use our help. The Veterans Affairs’ suicide hotlines receive about 10,000 calls per month from current or former service members, and there are untold numbers of veterans suffering too much to reach out.
This issue is personally meaningful to me, as I started my career counseling veterans at Fort McPherson while in the Army during the Vietnam War.
This year’s Rosalynn Carter Symposium on Mental Health Policy, set for Nov. 3-4, will be devoted to the mental health needs of members of the National Guard and military reserve. These veterans, along with their families, do not have the same access to health care services as active duty personnel and instead must rely more on providers in the communities in which they live. The symposium will focus on enhancing community-based mental health delivery systems for these returning service members and their families.
Attendees at the November symposium will hear firsthand from veterans and those providing them with treatment services. Participants will leave the Center with practical strategies for helping veterans in their own communities.
If families and loved ones learn about and discuss the mental health risks facing soldiers, it reduces stigma and helps ensure that veterans will seek professional treatment if they need it.
Our heroes deserve greater access to the resources, support, and health services they need for a healthy journey home.
