Lipstick and an inexplicable feeling of certain deficiency | |
|
ABU DHABI, July 31: Female Emirates flight attendants wear a red lipstick that is distinctive as part of their uniform. It is the airline's signature. Emirates provides the makeup training because makeup is a requirement. Besides, it has even a dedicated hub from iconic brands Dior and Davines. This despite the fact that Emiratis constitute a conservative society like other Islamic countries. But how dangerous is lipstick! It is a health hazard and repulsive, as much as the jet black moustache, leading even to respiratory, kidney and brain damage later in life due to the heavy metal contents, claim scientists. After all why do you wear lipstick? Is it because of an inexplicable feeling of certain deficiency.

Melania's sweet nothings to Putin— And here goes Nobel to Trump!
| |
|
WASHINGTON, Aug 18: Just a few hours left. We will know if Melania's charming letter accomplished what it was meant for. President Donald Trump hand-delivered his wife's personal letter to Putin at the summit!!! Anything for the sake of a Nobel. The East Room confrontation in next hours may be his last bid for the Prize.
The letter vividly portrays the plight of the unfortunate children in Ukraine and Russia as a fallout of the ongoing battles. The style is the content.
The captivating letter seeks to push a sedated agreement on Ukraine, the catch is the Nobel. Putin also wants Trump to receive the Nobel Prize—for reasons not yet disclosed—just as much as Trump wants it for himself. So the Nobel is the fulcrum of the ceasefire negotiations, not the war itself. Therefore Putin will go the extra mile, ready for more concessions at the battle front. And the letter works as a tailwind. But why he wants Trump should receive the Nobel? (See our Prognosis: Even Trump doesn't know')

Recycling leftover food is not one-time news, it keeps happening!
| |
|
NEW DELHI, May 15: Some restaurants may use leftovers for distribution to local charities, the poor or animals like dogs, but reusing them to serve new customers was unheard of in India. However, the mushroom growth of anonymous food stalls around places like Metro stations serving a floating population from new-style bustling workplaces carrying newly-found cash, no doubt gives rise to such practices. Retrieved from waste bins where these are discarded, and then recycled, leftovers make quick money. A Hyderabad restaurant was caught in the act recently. But it keeps happening!
