Shah Rukh Fights Farah’s Husband: SRK Beats Farah Khan’s Husband Shirish Kunder At Party

After attending the Filmfare awards, Bollywood King Khan Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) made his way to Aurus, a restaurant and lounge bar in Juhu, northwest Mumbai, well past midnight, to attend Sanjay Dutt’s Agneepath success party.
Unfortunately, SRK ran into his former friend director Farah Khan and her director husband Shirish Kunder at the party.
According to sources, SRK confronted Kunder about his Ra.One jibes on Twitter.
The evening Ra.One was released, Kunder had tweeted: ‘I just heard a 150 Cr firework fizzle.’
A slanging match followed, which suddenly turned to blows.
Sanjay Dutt intervened and stopped SRK from assaulting Kunder further.
Dutt and Sameer Arya, filmmaker Goldie Behl’s brother-in-law, escorted SRK out of the restaurant.
Discussing the incident, Farah Khan said, “Shah Rukh has always told me that physical abuse is the worst way to sort out a problem, and that it means the person who is hitting has either a personal or professional crisis going on. It saddens me to see him doing the same.”

Occupy Washington DC: Tensions With Arrest Of Occupy Washington DC Protesters

Tensions between Occupy D.C. protesters and law enforcement increased Sunday afternoon with the arrest of a demonstrator and the approach of Monday’s noon deadline to enforce a ban on overnight camping.
Tempers flared about midday after police subdued a protester in McPherson Square with an electric shock. Several protesters accused the police of using excessive force, saying the demonstrator had been handcuffed by two police officers before a third used an electronic device to stun him.
Police at the scene confirmed that someone had been subdued with a Taser and arrested, but they gave no further details.
The encounter occurred as Park Police passed out fliers warning of the deadline to begin enforcing a long-standing ban on camping overnight in the square. A protester known as Lash became angry when police entered his tent, demonstrators said.
“He told them: ‘Get out of here, get out of my tent. You’ve already given us enough of these,’ ” said Tracy Keith, 49, a researcher from Raleigh, N.C., who has been in the square for months. Keith said the protester ripped the flier and followed the police around the encampment, tearing down other fliers as the confrontation escalated.
Ellie Milne, 23, of the District said she thought three officers used excessive force by shocking Lash after he was in handcuffs.
“My mother is a police officer, and I grew up trusting the police, but this was blatant police brutality,” Milne said.
A video of the incident, which a protester posted on YouTube, appears to show that the man was not handcuffed when police used the device.
Milne, who works as a nanny, said the officers then dragged him out of the park as he pleaded for an ambulance. Other protesters became angry when police instead put him in a police vehicle.
But the driver of a passing sport-utility vehicle shouted praise to police officers who were in a tense standoff with a group of demonstrators after the arrest.
Robert Fields, who visited the square Sunday, said it was time for the occupiers to go and criticized authorities for allowing the tents to remain so long.
“This is camping, I’m sorry,” Fields, 56, of Manassas, said.
The protester arrested Sunday was not immediately identified by police. Sgt. David Schlosser, a Park Police spokesman, said that the protester was taken to a hospital but declined treatment and that he would be held on a charge of resisting arrest. The agency has opened a routine inquiry into the use of force by police.
In a written statement, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) urged demonstrators to show authorities “the same respect and civility that [the National Park Service] and the District of Columbia have shown to Occupy D.C.”
But some protesters said Sunday’s arrest created a confrontational mood ahead of Monday’s deadline. At the base of Maj. Gen. James B. McPherson’s statue, demonstrators met to discuss their next move. Some tried to evict a reporter as the discussion turned to whether protesters should submit to arrest en masse if police began removing tents and what the main message of their protest should be.
“A lot of the movement has focused on confrontation. But the real reason we’re here is, we have a deep hope — and this may sound like a cliche — that another world is possible,” said Kathleen G. Sutcliffe, 32, a former journalist who works for a nonprofit group. “It’s not about scuffling.”

Union Budget 2012-13: Income Tax Limit From 1.8 Lakh To 2 Lakh In Union Budget 2012-13

Union Budget of India 2012-13 may bring cheer to the salaried class as the Centre is said to be mulling a restructuring of the income tax slab.
According to reports, Monday, Union Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee may announce a rejig in income tax slabs and also increase the income tax exemption limit from the existing Rs 1.8 lakh to at least Rs 2 lakh.
A newspaper report said that the new tax slabs could be in line with the Direct Taxes Code Bill, which was introduced in Parliament in 2010.
The proposed bill says that incomes between Rs 2-5 lakh be taxed 10 percent, Rs 5-10 lakh be taxed 20 percent and incomes above Rs 10 lakh per annum to be taxed 30 percent.
The present tax structure is that incomes between Rs 1.8 lakh and Rs 5 lakh are taxed 10 percent, those between Rs 5-8 lakh taxed 20 percent while 30 percent tax is slapped on incomes above Rs 8 lakh.
Clearly, the government appears in mood to provide succor to the aam admi as the proposed tax restructuring will lead to an increase in disposable incomes, consumption spending and savings.
