Vagabond takes charge of Sealdah - Barrackpore EMU Local train

Funny incident at Sealdah (Kolkata) station on the Sealdah - Barrackpore EMU Up Local scheduled for departure at 9.10am on 2014-08-06.
Driver left the train with the door to his cabin unlocked.
A vagabond (drug addicted man) entered into the driver's cabin and locked himself inside.
Driver was unable to enter his cabin and called Railway Protection Force (RPF).
RPF tried to get the vagabond out from driver’s cabin but failed.
The vagabond was busy eating inside the driver’s cabin and seemingly enjoyed the commotion outside.
RPF lured the vagabond with food, biri/cigarette, drugs, money, etc. but failed. No amount of motivation worked.
Finally, RPF opened the door by continuous hammering and thrashed the culprit.
Needless to mention, the train was late in departing from Sealdah station.
See the entire incident in picture.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 10 lessons for children on Sept 5, 2014

To mark the Teachers’ Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed school children from across the country via a satellite link on 5th September 2014.

Here are the ten lessons that Modi taught the children:
1. Keep the child alive in you.
2. Politics is a service. One who is in politics should serve people like his or her family member.
3. If a girl is educated, the entire family is educated.
4. A teacher’s job is to discover the hidden talent of a student.
5. One should dream about doing something, not becoming someone.
6. I am a taskmaster.
7. While experience has been my best teacher, I also believe that good teachers and education were also equally important in building up my life.
8. You should read about lives of people who have been successful in life.
9. I am focussing on Digital India so modern technology reaches our children and in different languages.
10. Serving the nation does not only mean doing grand things. Doing small things is a big service to the nation.

Female PA to the Chairman needs to be fun loving, etc, etc

Why does the situations vacant advertisement for a Female PA to the Chairman of an ISO-9001 company demand that she be 25 yrs of age and be specifically 'fun loving, jovial, willing to attend outstation meetings with Chairman in 5-star hotels, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc'.
Btw, the advertisement states that salary is no bar!!
Am I reading too much between the lines?

Haldiram's 'namkeen' packed on 1st Sept 2014, available on 31st August 2014

Haldiram's (Nagpur) Namkeen packet of 17 gm supposedly packed on 2014-09-01. However, it was available in the market on 2014-08-31. Consume the next pack at your own risk.
Such acts and omissions deserve no pardon from we customers who are the king or queen.
P.S: The glaring fact has been brought to light by none other than popular TV actress Dolly Bindra.
