The Indian military has a new weapon against terrorism: the world’s hottest chili.
After conducting tests, the military has decided to use the thumb-sized “bhut jolokia,” or “ghost chili,” to make tear gas-like hand grenades to immobilize suspects, defense officials said Tuesday.
The bhut jolokia was accepted by Guinness World Records in 2007 as the world’s spiciest chili. It is grown and eaten in India’s northeast for its taste, as a cure for stomach troubles and a way to fight the crippling summer heat.
Hottest Chilli
It has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chili’s spiciness. Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, while jalapeno peppers measure anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000.
“The chili grenade has been found fit for use after trials in Indian defense laboratories, a fact confirmed by scientists at the Defense Research and Development Organization,” Col. R. Kalia, a defense spokesman in the northeastern state of Assam, told The Associated Press.
“This is definitely going to be an effective nontoxic weapon because its pungent smell can choke terrorists and force them out of their hide-outs,” R. B. Srivastava, the director of the Life Sciences Department at the New Delhi headquarters of the DRDO said.
Srivastava, who led a defense research laboratory in Assam, said trials are also on to produce bhut jolokia-based aerosol sprays to be used by women against attackers and for the police to control and disperse mobs.
Immigrant rights supporters from around the country are rallying for immigration reform on the National Mall.
People are waving American flags and holding signs with slogans in English and Spanish such as “Legalization yes, deportation no.” About half an hour after the rally’s scheduled 2 p.m. start, an area of about four square blocks on the mall was filled with people.
Organizers say tens of thousands of people have traveled from around the country for the march, which is sponsored by dozens of community, labor and faith groups.
Immigration Rally
Activists have been frustrated that they’ve had to wait for reform, despite President Barack Obama’s assurances that he remains committed to changing immigration laws. They hope Sunday’s march will re-energize the legislative effort.
There had been similar rally in the past (2007) with out much effect. It is alleged that domestic terror groups are behined this rally at that time.
“The IPL is back,” boomed Ravi Shastri on March 12, at the opening ceremony, as he promised a spectacular show to spectators at the DY Patil stadium in Mumbai that was almost 40 per cent occupied when the show started. With the start of the IPL season, Shah Rukh Khan has reason to smile. But, along the way, the promise was lost in translation as a host of artistes lip-synched the crowd to boredom. The opening match was between Kolkata Knight Riders and Deccan Chargers. Shah Rukh Khan’s IPL team Knight Riders won the match in style.
British band UB40 kicked off the evening with their classic hit, I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You. Their performance was followed by ABBA Revival, which was dull. Not even Deepika Padukone and her Bollywood hits could get the crowd going.

In a scene that looked straight out of a sci-fi movie, children swarmed the field and it seemed like they were lighting up like bulbs every few seconds. If that sounds like an engaging sight to you, then kudos to you. But, to the rest of us, it looked like a function that was without a purpose and theme.
The eight captains trooped onto the field to affirm their commitment to the spirit of the game. Adam Gilchrist, captain of the defending champions, was the first to sign the banner there. Sourav Ganguly was next in line and despite his smile, it looked like he had his mind on something else.

Nithyananda is supposed to be a Swami (spiritual person) and this shocking video of him in bed with an actress has only shown how some people take the common person’s faith for granted.
It still has to be verified if this is the truth or a scam. The Nithyananda Mission ashram released a statement branding the video “a mix of conspiracy, graphics and rumours”.

LONDON — 507 Carat diamond sold for $35millions. Diamond supplier Petra Diamonds Ltd. said it sold a 507-carat diamond for $35.3 million (euro25.8 million), breaking the record for the highest price ever paid for a rough diamond.
507 Carat Diamond
The 507 diamond stone – as big as a chicken egg and weighing just over 100 grams (3.53 ounces) – was estimated as among the world’s top 20 high-quality rough diamonds. It was discovered in September at South Africa’s Cullinan mine.
London-listed Petra said the gem was purchased by Hong Kong-based private jewelry retailer Chow Tai Food Jewelry Co. Ltd.
The price reflected “the incredible rarity of the diamond, which combines its remarkable size with exceptional color and clarity, and at 507.5 carats it is the 19th largest gem diamond ever discovered,” Petra CEO Johan Dippenaar said in a statement.
“It has the potential to produce one of the world’s most important polished gems,” he added.

The Cullinan mine, located east of Pretoria, South Africa, was sold by De Beers SA to a consortium led by Petra in 2007 for 1 billion rand ($148 million).
The mine has turned out some of the world’s largest gems, including the 3,106-carat Cullinan Diamond that was cut to form the 530-carat Great Star of Africa and the 317-carat Lesser Star of Africa set in the Crown Jewels of Britain.

A plant-based viagra is likely to roll out from India. This is being developed at Tropical Botanical Garden and Research Institute (TBGRI ), Kerala, India. According to the director, research is going on this for the last two years. Viagra is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunctioning in men.
TBGRI director A. Subramonian, principal investigator of the project undertaken for the past three years, said they were in the process of applying for a patent for plant-based viagra.
“In another three weeks, we will file the patent and then only I can give you the exact details because if I say the name of the study, then the name of the plant would be known,” said Subramonian.
He said the plant on which the drug would be based was seen commonly in several parts of Kerala, India. Kerala is a tiny state in the southern part of India.
“Once we get the patent, there would be a discussion with doctors and if they suggest there should be animal trials, it will be done. So far what we have concluded is that this can directly go for human trials. Within two years, the product will be available in the market, as things stand now,” added Subramonian.
Situated at Palode near here, TBGRI is an autonomous institute established by the government of Kerala in 1979 and functions for inventory, conservation and sustainable utilisation of plant wealth through R&D efforts.
The basis of this new study is the PhD thesis of a student. The project was subsequently funded by the Department of Science and Technology.
Now there is goining to be Desi-Viagra soon to treat erectile dysfunction!
