Monsoon hits India hard
Rains wreaked havoc in most parts of eastern and northern part of India as army troops were rushed to two flood-hit districts in West Bengal, while Orissa alerted the Indian Air Force and Jharkhand sought army help to tackle the situation that has affected nearly 25 lakh people.
West Bengal
The flood situation continued to remain grim in parts of West Bengal on Wednesday following heavy rains for the past two days.
Five persons died in West Bengal due to the pouring rains. Three army columns were rushed to West Bengal's West and East Midnapore districts as an Indian Air Force helicopter made an aerial survey of the affected areas.
Heavy downpour submerged major parts of Kolkata, almost bringing the city to a halt. Many arterial roads were under water, causing traffic jams in the southern and central parts of the city.
Rainwater entered homes and commercial buildings and inundated slums. Public transport was the worst-affected, and commuters were seen wading through waist-deep water.
The Army was on Wednesday called out to assist the administration in West Midnapore district where the flood situation remained grim affecting 1.5 lakh people and to begin relief and rescue operations in Sabang, Narayangarh and Pungla areas.
Kapaleswari, Keleghai and Chandia rivers were in spate and their embankments breached in the above places.
Orissa
Rains continued to hit normal life out of the gear in Orissa. Two more persons died on Wednesday in the torrential rains and flash floods in state, taking the toll in rain-related incidents to four.
Balasore district on the West Bengal-Orissa border was also hit with over 50 villages at Baliapal, Basta and Bhogarai blocks badly affected as the swollen Subarnarekha river is set to touch the danger level of 10.36 metres at Rajghat.
While Jalaka river was already flowing 1.75 metres above the danger level of 5.50 metres, rivers like Sona, Jambhira and Gangahar were also in spate.
An alert was sounded in coastal Orissa as incessant rains due to deep depression over northwest Bay of Bengal, about 250 km from Balasore coast, claimed one life in Mayurbhanj district.
Assam
The flood situation has improved considerably with no overnight rain. People are heading back to their homes, but thousands of them are still in makeshift shelters as their homes are filled with mud and slush.
A Central Water Commission bulletin on Wednesday said the main Brahmaputra river and its tributaries were still above the danger mark in some places although the trend was receding.
The floods that began over the weekend left eight dead and displaced more than 400,000 people in about 350 villages in the two districts of Lakhimpur and Sonitpur.
Thousands of people were returning to their homes in Assam on Wednesday with floodwaters receding as authorities sounded a health alert to prevent the outbreak of any waterborne diseases.
Every year the monsoon causes the river to flood in Assam, a state of 26 million people. In 2004, at least 200 people died and millions were displaced.
With two more deaths and another 185,000 being uprooted from their homes, 27 people have been killed by flash floods and landslides in the north-east and around 4 lakh displaced so far this season.
The swirling floodwaters of the Brahmaputra river have cut a treacherous swathe across the district, breaching more than a dozen vital embankments, besides sweeping away road bridges and stretches of highways.
Arunachal Pradesh
On Saturday, a series of mudslides in adjoining Arunachal Pradesh left 14 people dead and about 30 injured. The incidents took place in and around state capital Itanagar. The death toll in the landslides, however, mounted to 19.
"Three injured victims died in hospital on Sunday, while two bodies trapped under the debris of collapsed houses were extricated Monday," district magistrate of Pamumpare Bidul Payeng said.
Jharkhand
The steel city of Jamshedpur recorded 338.1 mm of rainfall - the heaviest in the past six decades - since yesterday.
Uttar Pradesh
A flood alert has been sounded in over thirty districts of Uttar Pradesh, including Lakhimpur Kheri, Faizabad, Gonda and Bahraich, following incessant rains in state.
The level of water in the state's various rivers, including Ghagra, Sharda, Saryu and Gomti, has risen following the week-long rains.
Anil Garg, district magistrate Faizabad, said preparations have been made in the district following the flood alert sounded by the government.
He said the level of water in the Saryu river is below the danger mark, but can cross it if heavy rains continue.
Jammu and Kashmir
A woman drowned and five houses were damaged in Doda and Reasi districts of Jammu and Kashmir following heavy rains and flash floods.
Landslides triggered by rains struck en route the Vaishnodevi shrine, damaging several electric poles and disrupting power in some areas of Katra belt.
Delhi
Breaking a record of 108 years, monsoon last Sunday hit the national capital almost a fortnight ahead of the schedule. The normal date of onset of monsoon in Delhi is June 29 and its arrival two weeks earlier marks the breaking of a 108-year-old record.
The capital, which is experiencing one of the coolest summers in the recent times, has received record showers in May, which is known for heat-wave conditions.
West Bengal
The flood situation continued to remain grim in parts of West Bengal on Wednesday following heavy rains for the past two days.
Five persons died in West Bengal due to the pouring rains. Three army columns were rushed to West Bengal's West and East Midnapore districts as an Indian Air Force helicopter made an aerial survey of the affected areas.

Manoj Tiwari stamped!!!
A few months ago, the state of Bihar rejoiced in the achievement of Manoj Tiwari, the great Bhojpuri singer and the host of “Chak De Bacche” (Michael Jackson’s favorite program), for being the first living Indian to be honored with an international stamp from the government of Netherlands.Greatbong says, "I mean wouldn’t the Economic Times and the Bihar government have done a background check before reporting and felicitating? Evidently not."
He pointed fingers on Economic times report on Manoj Tiwari - "
The Dutch decision to honour Tiwari could also be a way of atoning for the trauma caused to 34,300 Bhojpuri peasants who were shipped out between 1873 and 1916 from western Bihar and eastern UP to work as indentured labour on sugarcane plantations in distant colonies like Surinam.
The trauma of being uprooted resulted in a folk culture called Bidesia, meaning Bhojpuris who left their homeland for ever and could only remember it through Poorvi Lok Sangeet and Ganga Geet — an oral tradition that is kept alive to this day in the songs sung by Tiwari"

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday crushed Congress hopes of halting its march in south India by winning near majority in the Karnataka assembly and will stake claim on Monday to form its first government in south India.After the final results, BJP won 110 seats, three short of the magic figure of 113 required for the simple majority, and is in touch with independents and others, who have won six seats in the state assembly.
The newly elected legislators are meeting in Bangalore on Monday noon to formally elect 66-year-old B S Yeddyurappa as their leader. BJP had projected Yeddyurappa its chief ministerial candidate during the campaign for the polls held on May 10, 16 and 22.
Yeddyurappa was chief minister for a week in November last year at the head of a shaky coalition with Janata Dal (Secular), headed by former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda.

Jimmy...The horrible
A dead girl has been found. The police investigator Rahul Dev tells Jimmy: “ladki ki mutthi main paayi gaaye hain tumhare baal”. As we all know, when a girl’s dead body is unearthed that too with a man’s “baal” in her hand and with his driving license right next to her, the case seems to be pretty clear and shut. The final nail in the coffin is when Jimmy, an automotive engineer (Matlab Simulink guru) during day and DJ (Dancing Joker) at night, confesses to the heinous crime with a “khoon kiya hain maine” that echoes for effect.The final nail did I say?
Wrong !
The real drama is only just beginning.
Cause in “Jimmy”, by far the year’s best “zero level” movie till now, nothing is as it seems.
As the audience navigates through its twisted and very sophisticated plot, almost every other scene seems to throw up yet another new conundrum.
Why for instance does Jimmy confess to wearing two socks on the same foot?
Why does the breakfast of a man obviously struggling with his weight (i.e. Jimmy) consist of a pile of white bread and two eggs?
