Washington, Feb 24: "Trust your heart" is the mantra, when it comes to picking out an item of clothing or choosing a flavour of ice cream, a house and even a life partner, according to a new study.

One of the first tasks before judge ML Tahiliyani, when he takes charge of the 26/11 trial, will be to ensure legal representation for Mohammad Ajmal Amir, the sole terrorist captured alive after the terror attack in November last year. Ajmal has not yet accepted lawyer KBN Lam's offer to represent him.

"The trial cannot go on without Ajmal having legal representation," special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said. Once the chargesheet is filed by the police before the magistrate, the case will be committed to the sessions court. Tahiliyani will frame the charges against Kasab and the three other accused, after which the trail will begin.

Washington, Feb 24: Indians are furious over a New York auction that is set to sell some of the personal belongings of Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of India's freedom struggle.

The bidding for Gandhi's distinctive, round, metal-rimmed spectacles; his leather sandals; a 1910 sterling Zenith pocket watch; and a brass bowl and plate is scheduled for March 5-6 in New York.

"By auctioning his things, we are going totally against what Gandhiji stood for. It is as if we are trying to buy a piece of Gandhiji," The Washington Post quoted Varsha Das, director of the National Gandhi Museum in New Delhi, as saying.

As Slumdog bags 8 Oscars, Mumbai puts the nightmare of 26/11 behind it

Mumbai is back in the global limelight again, and this time, the script could not have been better. 

The last time the world media focused attention on the city, it was 10 AK 47-toting men who took centre-stage as they went on a mindless killing spree, targeting important landmarks, including two five-star hotels, in south Mumbai. 

Less than a week after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) evicted 215 illegal slum-dwellers from and around the Tansa water mains near Bandra terminus, the encroachments have resurfaced. 

BMC had undertaken a demolition drive to secure the pipelines, after being criticised by a high court division bench. The court had rapped the BMC for compromising with citizens' safety and health by allowing slums on the pipes, following which municipal commissioner Jairaj Phatak ordered immediate removal of slums constructed after 2000 along pipelines. 

A civic demolition squad kick-started the drive on April 16, and 215 hutments were demolished. When DNA revisited the demolition site on Monday, the hutments were back. 

London, February 24: A sexagenarian granny, who has tied the knot 23 times, has been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most married woman.

Her longest marriage lasted seven years, while her shortest was just 36 hours.
