Must watch: Smriti Irani leaves a heartfelt message for a teary eyed G D Bakshi on The Newshour

In the middle of a discussion about hoisting The National Flag at all national institutes on The Newshour last night, Major General (Retd) G D Bakshi was left teary eyed trying to defend the honour of our flag. It hurt almost each viewer to see such a brave heart trying so hard to defend something that should come naturally to us. Smriti Irani, who wasn’t a part of the debate otherwise, called in with a heartfelt message for G D Bakshi and it’s something all of us need to watch, learn and imbibe.

She said that “It is the greatest tragedy of my nation today, that I see tears in the eyes of brave soldier like you, Sir. Let me say this as every Indian watching you tonight would say. Men like you have bled for our country, men like you have never asked us for anything in return. And tonight as you weep on Newshour, I will only say this, as an Indian citizen; we are grateful for your sacrifices, we are grateful for your service. And, under that flag every day, knowingly and unknowingly know this; we shall be grateful forever,”

After the debate was over, Major General G D Bakshi made the following statement on Facebook;

“On Arnab’s debate today i suddenly realised the difference between us soldiers and others. it suddenly hit me.it hurt me deeply to see what we have become. we have problems now with flying our national Flag.? I learnt with the greatest shock that so far the national flag has not been flying in our Universities? Why pray? Are they UN enclaves in Free India beyond the pale of our soveriginity? Are we required to sing the Communist internaionale there instead of our National anthem? Are the universities paid for by our taxes required to celebrate every Afzal Guru , every Maoist,celebrate every 76 brave CRPF boys who get killed by the Maoists? celebrate every single soldier who gets killed in J&K? The problem is the sophisticated debate that these bastions of Leftist liberals have created. Every Patriot is a lumpen. the smart set , the real cool intellectulas support Afzal Guru. For that is the fastest way to a Noble peace Prize or even a Magasay Award( Get rich quick guys- who cares for that land called India).Only soldiers like us are stupid enough to become EXTREME NATIONALISTS. Only soldiers make that extreme sacrifice !! and all along we were told it was the SUPREME sacrifice . The Flag my friend is NOT a piece of tattered silk to us soldiers. It is the SYMBOL of who we are. it is for this piece of tattered silk that we have to Fight and DIE- we have NO choice. You DO! thats the difference”

When did you choose to be straight?

According to the reports the Supreme Court has accepted the petition against 377 which means there is hope and that is a big deal. The Supreme Court has now referred section 377 to a five judge bench and the final verdict is still awaited. This has appeared to be a ray of light for all who stood against the Section 377.

This subject of legalising gay sex did remind us of one thing though; we shared a video with you people asking one simple question, ‘Are many of us straight just because we have been socially conditioned to be so?’ and what you told us is right here and we respect your perspective. You can watch the video below!

This woman rescues stray dogs and her story will make your heart melt!

Have you ever saved another being’s life? If you have you’ll understand the rewarding experience that it is to help someone live another day. Now imagine doing that for a living? Without expecting anything in return? Sounds amazing, doesn’t it! Anuradha Mishra Jain does just that for stray dogs and her life is a lesson for all of us.

Anuradha Mishra Jain runs a pet shelter in Ghaziabad and her life is an example for many of us. She doesn’t just rescue sick dogs from the streets but makes sure that they are well fed and brought back to good health. Not just that, her main task is to look after strays that are mostly declared terminally ill by various leading pet care facilities. She specializes in critical care and has been trained by a senior veterinary officer. She started running her pet shelter ‘Hope for the speechless souls’ six months back, but she has been helping stray dogs with food and medical aid since nineteen years.

Initially a hobby, now a fully grown pet care facility, her shelter houses 30 dogs and ensures they are looked after well. What’s more, she feeds 70 other dogs in the surrounding areas and provides them with basic medical care on a regular basis. Her dogs aren’t just the ones found or abandoned on the streets; she takes in dogs brought in by people and treats them to wellness. She takes pride in single-handedly managing the shelter using funds that come from her paying guest accommodations and a generous help from her husband. However, she is quick to point out that some noble people donate food, medicines and sometimes money to help her look after ‘her kids’ as she addresses them.

Step forward and be a part of this noble initiative by reaching her at 91-9911911757

Outfit of the week: Statement Stripes

A mainstay of both casual and formal wear, stripes have become a staple in every man’s wardrobe rather than just a trend. Seasonally appropriate and versatile, whether you are rocking striped pants, a striped suit, or layering a striped t-shirt under a blazer, this is a trend that everyone should get on board with. From Dior to Gucci, every brand has their own version of stripes taking the runways and the high street fashion by storm. Take a look at this week’s outfit of the week and get inspired.

Different stripes have different effects on overall body shape and size. Horizontal stripes tend to make you look wider, while vertical stripes draw the eye down giving the illusion of length/height.

Opt for thicker block-stripes or bold coloured motifs to bring a modern twist to this timeless pattern. Team up a bright tee with a pair of striped chino shorts and loafers for an off-duty look. Switch to trousers and a pair of blazers along with a striped shirt for a more evening-appropriate look.

High school braids are back to transform the way you look

Hair braiding isn’t a school hairstyle anymore. They are back on the hair styling circuit and women are in love with them. Braids don’t just add a unique character to your hair; they do a very important job of making your facial features stand out. What’s best about braiding is that they are better for second/third day hair which means one doesn’t have to go through the hell of the hot dryer and other styling tools to make braids look good.

Depending on your styling choice, you may go absolutely wild or subtle with your braids. Don’t catch us? Take a look at these ways of sporting a braid this season and looking amazing.

1) The subtle braids

If subtlety is your choice when it comes to fashion, fishtail braids and rope braids are perfect for you. These braids look very hard to style but are really not. With a little bit of practice you can master these braids in no time. Sarah Hyland and Nina Dobrev tell us how to style them right.

2) The messy braids

If you like to keep your hair sophisticated with a hint of fun, we suggest you opt for messy side braids. These are easy to style, even easier to maintain and give the right look with a hint of messy. Take inspiration from celebrities like Jennifer Morrison, Blake Lively and Eva Longoria to get the side braid correctly.

3) The wild braids

Fan of trying the unusual? Go wild with your braids and be sure to make a statement. Just like other hairstyles, you can play around with your braids to match your style sensibilities and outfits. Take a look at these celebs giving us some wild looks.
