'The Accidental Prime Minister' Trailer Not appearing on Youtube

Ever since the trailer of The Accidental Prime Minister released, it has been surrounded by a number of controversies.  Kher has alleged that his film's trailer seems to be missing from the top trends of YouTube. As per the reports,  if one searches for the trailer of The Accidental Prime Minister on the popular video-sharing website, the user ends up getting Kher's interviews regarding the film. However, if one types 'The Accidental Prime Minister official trailer,' the trailer will emerge right at the top.

Kher tweeted, "Dear YouTube, I am getting messages and calls that in parts of our country if you type, trailer of 'The Accidental Prime Minister', it is either not appearing or at 50th
position. We were trending at No. 1. 

A case has been filed against Kher and others associated with the film in a Bihar court on Wednesday for "damaging the image of some top people." Lawyer Sudhir Kumar Ojha filed the case in Muzaffarpur's Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court. The court has admitted the case and fixed January 8 to hear the case in Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate court.esterday. Please help" 

Kadir Khan was in a lot of pain during these years, said David Dhawan

The death of one of Hindi mainstream cinema's most prolific and versatile writer Kader Khan has left filmmaker David Dhawan bereft.

"Bhaijaan, that's what I called him, was the backbone of my cinema. After we worked together for the first time in 'Bol Radha Bol', I couldn't think of directing a film without Bhaijaan. I wanted him to write and act in every film that I made, and I made sure it happened. But he was so busy.

Recalling Kader Khan's pervasive contribution, Dhawan said "He was not just a writer or actor. He was the backbone of every film. When Bhaijaan was in my film, I felt safe and secure. He was my go-to friend and ally in my projects. I would run to him if there was ever a problem in shooting.

After his health started failing, I had to work with others. But I always had Bhaijaan in my mind. I would tell my writers 'Yeh scene Kader Khan saab ke jaisa chahiye'. He has left a
vacuum in my career." Dhawan said: "He would rewrite a scene and the dialogue on the spot during shooting. He took every shot to another level. As a writer, he made every hero
sound credible and spectacular. Just look at Bhaijaan's contribution to Amitji(Amitabh Bachchan's) on-screen persona.

"His health started failing and he moved to Canada to be with his three sons and daughters-in-law. Bhaijaan and his entire family took Canadian citizenship, so it was only befitting that he be put to rest there."

"The worst blow to Bhaijaan's health was his loss of speech. The genius scholar who wove magic with words became wordless. I couldn't work with Bhaijaan in that condition. I could
deal with him being on a wheelchair. But I couldn't come to terms with Bhaijaan losing his voice. 

"Now in his death, our film industry has lost a prominent voice. The movies will never be the same. 

Woman caught for smuggling gold worth Rs 90.44 lakh at Pune airport

Customs officials arrested a woman at the Pune airport for smuggling gold worth Rs 90.44 lakh on Sunday.

The accused has been identified as Danatas Juenca John, who arrived in Pune from Dubai by SpiceJet flight SG 52. During the search of the passenger, four polythene bags containing gold in paste form was recovered. The polythene bags were concealed by means of a support belt around her waist, said customs officials. In another recent incident of smuggling at the Pune airport, the customs department had arrested a man who tried to smuggle gold worth Rs 11 lakh on the Dubai-Pune SpiceJet flight on Thursday.

No limit to speeding

In a country where 1.54 lakh die on roads annually, increased speed limits only threaten more lives
During the 1980s, North India was in the grip of the Himalayan Rally fever. It was the only international sports event in India. We had entries from the USA, England, Hong Kong, Africa and half a dozen European countries. So what if the government of India did not recognise rallying s as a sport!
One year, there was an entry from England. The service manager, John Something, had prepared one of the cars. John also ran a school for rallyists. We got to know each other quite well. When the rally got over, after prize distribution, we settled down for dinner. John had become a diehard kebab and biryani addict. It was a very informal atmosphere and I popped the question that had been loafing around my skull for the last few days.
“What did you think of the event, the organisation, the drivers, preparation of cars,” and a lot more, I asked.
John was very honest. Some of his remarks were extremely flattering, others hurt. He was all praise for the terrain and the routing. The road book was world class as was the organisation, he said. That was thanks to Nazir Hoosein, who ran the event with clockwork precision.
“The cars were poorly prepared. The drivers had no knowledge of driving, cornering, of handling speed,” said John.
“Indians have been catapulted from the bullock-cart age to the age of super cars”. This hurt but it was true.  Every driver was a good personal friend, keen rallyist, genuinely interested in the sport, but yes, the finer points eluded us.
No surprise here. The Himalayan Rally was a first time experience for most North Indian drivers. Most entrants had bought a car, had it prepared and had come to ‘play the rally’! They had no knowledge of rules, regulations or how to read a road book. “They know how to step on the accelerator, beyond that nothing!” said John.
Speed without control is deadly. And that is exactly what we are facing on our roads today. Any car today is capable of super speeds of 180-200 kmph. And the government has seen fit to raise the speed limits on Expressways to 120 kmph from 100 kmph and 100 kmph from 80 kmph on National Highways. This is a sure recipe to kill more people on our roads. Remember the old saying, ‘speed thrills but kills’.
Raising the speed limit will have the opposite effect. A youngster, first-time car owner has a fast car, an open road and, for sure, a couple of drinks. He picked up a bottle while refuelling. And a higher speed limit. This is the equivalent of ‘pagal ke haath me talwar!’ Other than reading the Owner’s Manual you must read The Motor Vehicles Act.
Here is why: Rule on use of seat belts.
Sub-Rule (3) Rule 138 of The Central Motor Vehicles Rules 1989 states, “In a motor vehicle in which seat-belts have been provided sub-rule (1) of Rule 125 or Rule 125 A, as the case may be, it shall be insured that the driver and the person seated in the front seat or the persons occupying front facing seats, as the case maybe, wear seat-belts while the vehicle is in motion”.
No mention of side facing seats in seven-seater SUVs.

A smoke screen for danger

Sorry sight: Smoking has directly been linked to two leading causes of vision loss, macular degeneration and cataract
Dr Minija C.K
Smoking has mostly been linked to respiratory diseases, cancer of the related organs like lungs, throat, mouth, etc. and heart diseases. But smoking is equally injurious to the rest of the organs of the body. 
Usually some cancers and cardiovascular disorders are caused due to the tobacco use and smoke exposure, but we are unaware of the detrimental effect smoking can cause on our eyes and vision.
The smoke generated by smoking a cigarette, a pipe or any other tobacco products can cause severe damage to the individual who is smoking and also the people around who are exposed to that smoke.
Smoking has directly been linked to two leading causes of vision loss, macular degeneration and cataract.
Many studies have also found out that smoking contributes to a range of eye-related problems for both smokers and passive smokers, including adults and children.
Women who smoke are more likely to give birth prematurely, putting their babies at risk for developing a disease called retinopathy of prematurity which is one of the causes of vision loss in babies if not treated. 
The cigarette smoke is extremely toxic containing as many as 4,000 active compounds, including tar, polycyclic, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and heavy metals. It increases age-related eye problems like macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, dry-eye syndrome and optic neuropathy. Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in adults ages 65 and older.
Not just smokers, smoking can also affect non-smokers causing eye irritation and burning sensations. 
Use of tobacco is linked with many health problems. Giving up smoking and use of tobacco can not only prolong your life but your loved ones, too. 
Tips to prevent vision loss 
Quit smoking 
Eat healthy foods. Include a lot of green leafy vegetables and fruits high in vitamins C and E and beta carotene. 
Exercise regularly.
Maintain a normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels.


Ways to quit

  • Eliminate triggers: The decision to quit smoking is one of the toughest situations. Ensure to thoroughly clean your house and car etc, and remove all related objects like ashtrays, cigarettes, odours etc. 
  • Rework your routine: Planning a new schedule to keep away from smoking is very important. You may have built in smoke breaks in between work hours or after dinner, etc. try avoiding the old routine which can lead to cravings. 
  • Carry a healthy snack: Substitute cigarettes with some snack like sugar-free lollipops, gum, celery or carrot sticks, sunflower seeds, some fruit etc. This may help you quit and overcome your cravings.
  • Try a cup of herbal tea: Tea acts as a major stress release. The act of brewing and sipping slowly can help in decreasing stress. 
  • Start a hobby: Develop a new pastime like running, swimming, gaming, learning music, painting or some art, etc which helps you stay focused and avoids your craving for smoking.
