Lindsay Lohan In India & Against Child Trafficking
Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan, who has escaped from controversies back home to do something worthwhile in India, claims to have saved ‘40 children within one day’s work’ in the country. The Hollywood starlet is in India for a documentary on women and child trafficking in India for the BBC. The actress posted comments to producer Cash Warren on the social networking site Twitter: “Over 40 children saved so far.. Within one day’s work. This is what life is about.. Doing THIS is a life worth living”.
Later on she ‘twittered’: “Oh, and I’m talking about being in India, focusing on celebrities and lies is so disconcerting, when we can be changing the world one child at a time.. hope everyone can see that.”
“Traffiking is a big issue here, I’m what I can, and I will continue to do so as long as life when time permits it. Time to bring focus to the things that need help in life, never to late to start helping others, however u can, keep telling people about what’s going on in all 2nd and 3rd world countries and people will want to help too.”
Meanwhile, Indians are not far behind in showing concern for the actress. Hindu statesman, Rajan Zed has advised Lindsay Lohan, to take a dip in the holy Ganges so that the Mean Girls star can “rediscover herself”.
“Lindsay Lohan should rediscover herself by taking a dip in the holy Ganges. It is believed that bathing in the sacred Ganges purifies one of all sin and its waters confer immortality”, said Rajan Zed.
Rahul Dravid: Underrated or Under Played?
At a Thai restaurant in Islamabad, after the first day’s play in the final Test in 2004, Rahul Dravid politely declined to stay for dessert, saying he needed to sleep because he had to bat the “whole day tomorrow”. Not early, not in the morning; the whole day.
It led to a few involuntary sniggers at the dinner table, but Dravid had chosen his words carefully. Ten not out overnight, he was unbeaten on 134 when stumps were drawn the following evening. And then, for good measure, he batted almost the whole of the next day as well, finishing on a career-best 270. It wasn’t the most attractive knock, and not nearly his most fluent — in fact, at 12 hours and 20 minutes it was the longest innings by an Indian player ever — but Dravid had ensured, almost single-handedly, that India won their first Test series in Pakistan.
