After taking a cab in Beijing, Apple CEO Tim Cook visits Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai

A  photo of Tim Cook, with tilak on forehead and a garland around the neck, both rich symbols of Hindu worship, started trending on Twitter following a visit to Mumbai's popular divinity point, Siddhivinayak temple.

May 18, 2016, NewsCrunch

When in Rome do what Romans do - seems to be the motto of Apple CEO Tim Cook, who is on a  visit to India.

He began trending  on Wednesday morning following a visit to Mumbai's popular divinity point, Siddhivinayak temple. Indian Express published a photo of him with tilak on forehead and a garland around the neck, both rich symbols of Hindu worship.

Tim Cook came out as a gay saying being one was a god's gift. But there is nothing more to his religious beliefs, let alone Hinduism, and he may actually like to get listed as an atheist.

So, why the visit to the Siddhivinayak temple temple? It seems to have been more of a cultural trip, to get a flavour of local life. Tim Cook was in China before landing in India and in Beijing he famously took a taxi.

It may have been more than a passing fancy in Beijing as Apple has invested a billion dollars in China's Uber.

Indian Express reports that Tim Cook also met Reliance scion Akash Ambani at the Siddhivinayak temple. So, even this may have been more than a passing fancy.

In the rarefied atmosphere of US tech industry, Hinduism has a trickle of an influence. Both Steve Jobs and Mark  Zuckerberg came to India exploring its spirituality before embarking upon their entrepreneurial adventure.

Tim Cook, who is under severe pressure to reinvent Apple, may be following their footsteps.

So, why the visit to the Siddhivinayak temple temple? It seems to have been more of a cultural trip,
to get a flavour of local life. On Tuesday he had similarly taken a taxi ride in China

May 18, 2016, NewsCrunch

Senior actor Rishi Kapoor has landed in a controversy by asking a simple question: Why are so many national assets named after the Gandhis.

He says he respects the party and the family but the question remains.

He sent a series of tweets on Wednesday with his questions that turned him into a raging trend.

Rishi Kapoor says he is not seeking any publicity, we agree he does not need any. He also says he is just speaking as a plain citizen without any political motive. We agree.

Rajeev Gandhi died in 1991 and Bandra-Worli link opened in 2009, what was the need to name it after him, asks Rishi Kapoor. Why is the popular national park in Mumbai named after Sanjay Gandhi, what has he done for the country, he continues.

Rishi Kapoor told India Today that he was watching TV last night when he came across a demand from V K Singh to rename Akbar Road in New Delhi That triggered his train of thought – why are so many national assets named after one family.

As an alternative, Rishi Kapoor says, assets can be named after eminent local citizens, Lata Mangeshkar or JRD Tata or Azim Premji or Sachin Tendulkar, for example.

Not much is known about Bharti Malhotra with whom Ranbir Kapoor has been reportedly linked with now.

The Bollywood heartthrob broke up with Katrina Kaif and is seeing the little-known Delhi-based model, Bharti Malhotra, say media reports.

His sister Riddhima Sahni reportedly introduced both of them at a party, says The Times of India.

The Kapoors were never keen on Katrina, but are keen to see him settling down with a nice non-Bollywood Punjabi girl. They are probably inspired by Shahid Kapoor-Mira Rajput successful match, as India.comnotes.

Ranbir, is also said to be under pressure from his mother Neetu to marry and start family, before he turns over to the wrong side of 30s.

But who is Bharti Malhotra? She has taken her Instagram account private but has still kept her Facebook page public.

She seems to be a level headed person and has recently completed a certification course in makeup and hair course at Chandni Singh studio.

There are several posts protesting cruelty against animals and she has been consistent in this.

PinkVilla dismisses the reports that Ranbir Kapoor is dating anyone called Bharti Malhotra. They say the Delhigirl is in relationship with another man.

BJP leader Venkiah Naidu, who is all set to get elected to Rajya Sabha from Karnataka, has run into unexpected resistance from the usually accommodating Kannadigas.

They are angry that Venkiah Naidu, who hails from Andhra Pradesh, is likely to get the party ticket again.

If that happens and if he wins, which is a certainty, the 66-year-old leader would have spent 24 years of his life as a Rajya Sabha MP from Karnataka.

He has won three six year terms in 1998, 2004 and 2010.

Kannadigas are upset that despite such a long innings, he has nothing to show for what he has done for the state. He still cannot speak a word of Kannada.

His presence in the league on Karnataka MPs has been, at best, symbolic. Whenever Karnataka is locked in a dispute with Tamil Nadu over Cauvery, he accompanies the delegation of state MPs to meet the PM, but without opening his mouth.

Venkiah Naidu is not the only non-Karnataka MP in the current Rajya Sabha.

Rangasayee Ramakrishna is a BJP leader from Tamil Nadu and Rajeev Chandrasekhar, an independent from Kerala, also won with BJP support. Though he is settled in Bangalore, his contribution to state is as illustrious as Venkiah's.

While straight men may get turned off by gay sex, women seem to have an open mind – here’s the science of sex

May 19, 2016, NewsCrunch

Porn surveys routinely state that lesbian love is a favourite category for many women.

While straight men may get turned off by gay sex, women seem to have an open mind. Dr. Satoshi Kanazawa an evolutionary psychologist at London School of Economics says women can flit across to being lesbian or bisexual or heterosexual easily.

In an article in the journal Biological Reviews he says women are evolutionarily designed to be sexually fluid.

In early societies polygamous marriages, involving one man and many females, were the norm. Wives would often have sex with each other to ‘reduce conflict and tension inherent in such marriages’.

Reducing conflict was key to make the man more amenable to having babies with them, says Dr. Satoshi Kanazawa.

Men were also ok with their women finding sexual gratification with each other than with men outside the marriage. That is the reason men are evolutionarily designed to enjoy other women having sex.


Lesbian love has been spotted in apes as well which are also polygamous. Recently, two female gorillas  were photographed making love to each other.

Assam BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma, has made a sensational disclosure on how casual Congress scion Rahul Gandhi has been in addressing party affairs.

He says that at a crucial meeting which eventually led to his joining BJP, Rahul Gandhi was more interested in playing with his dog than listening to him

There is a renewed focus on Rahul Gandhi's casual management style after the debacle in Assam, Kerala, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu.

Among other things, BJP rode to victory in Assam on the shoulders of local strongman,  Himanta Biswa Sarma, who had been Congress chief minister Tarun Gogoi's right-hand man for years.

After Gogoi started promoting his son, Himanta Biswa Sarma fell out  with him and tried to take his fight to Rahul Gandhi.

He says it took 20 attempts to meet the Congress heir. In a media interaction, Himanta Biswa Sarma has shared details of how the long-awaited meeting with Rahul Gandhi unfolded.

He was told to complete his presentation in two minutes. Then a fight broke out with Gogoi and party general secretary in-charge of Assam C P Joshi, who were also in the meeting.

A little dog walked in and started eating biscuits from the plate meant for guests. Himanta Biswa Sarma says Rahul Gandhi started playing with dog instead of sorting out the fight.

That was when Himanta Biswa Sarma decided to quit Congress and join BJP which was wooing him.
Rahul Gandhi has a terrier named Piddi, which is known for dropping in at his meetings and charming his visitors. Piddi is also known  to follow Rahul Gandhi around his Tughlaq Lane home in  New Delhi.

But the playtime with Piddie was to cost Rahul Gandhi dear.

Two weeks later Himanta Biswa Sarma was entering BJP president Amit Shah's residence. Rahul Gandhi sent him a frantic SMS asking him to meet him immediately.

Himanta Biswa Sarma replied saying it was too late.

Rising Pune Supergiants skipper M S Dhoni got Irfan Pathan run out, forcing him to sacrifice his wicket, in a recent match against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Dhoni also lost his cool and even drew remarks from the commentators, who said there was no run. The video of the disaster run has gone viral.

At the time of the incident, Dhoni was going struggling at 5 from 14 balls, while Pathan was in a better form scoring 7 off 8 deliveries.

In the 14th over, Dhoni hit the ball straight into hands of Piyush Chawla at the backward point, and set off for a single. Pathan was not keen as he knew there was no run in that.

But Dhoni, who had jumped the trigger and reached half crease, yelled ‘run’ , forcing Pathan to sacrifice his wicket in order to save his captain.

Dhoni went on to glare as Pathan walked back to pavilion.


Dhoni does not seem to gave a good chemistry with Pathan, who was in a scintillating form before IPL. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament he had scored 200 runs and had also emerged as the leading wicket-taker.

Despite this, Dhoni played him in just two games this season. In 2015 also, when both were in Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Dhoni had benched Pathan the entire season.

BJP’s new poll whizkid Rajat Sethi seems to have delivered in his maiden assignment in Assam, where the party scored a sensational win on Thursday.

In unseating the popular chief minister, among other things, the alliances BJP struck with  Assam Gan Parishad (AGP) and Bodo People Front (BPF) played an important role.

The tie-up with AGP happened thanks to some slick data crunching by Rajat Sethi, reports The Times of India.

Rajat Sethi and team analysed heaps of demographic data and the voting patterns in 25,000 polling booths to get insights into how the different ethnic groups in Assamwould vote.

Rajat Sethi 's team noted that despite not winning a single seat AGP had received 5.50 lakh votes in the 2014 Loksabha elections. He convinced his mentor Ram Madhav to press for an alliance with AGP and a deal was concluded.

An MIT and KennedySchool alumnus, Rajat Sethi, was roped in by Ram Madhav to head the BJP’s data crunching and social media team in Assam. He set up a small office with many people, who had worked with his predecessor Prashant Kishor, and went about his job diligently.

It later turned out that the iPhone cover was a genuine Apple accessory. The cause of confusion was its colour and packaging, which is perhaps unique to India, and not available elsewhere.

As Tim Cook was not familiar with it, he flew off the handle.

He tried to dismiss it saying it was ‘her fantasy’, but went on to say it was a nice compliment and thanked her for that.  

He also said he likes to keep his love life low-key as he does not need to use it to generate publicity for his films.

He admitted that he was under pressure from his mother to get married, but said why should he disappoint so many women to keep one happy, with a wink.
