The legendary khadoos (bloody-minded) approach of Mumbai cricket denied Karnataka a Sankranti gift at a jam-packed Gangothri Glades, pipping the home side by six runs in one of the most gripping Ranji finals ever. A carefree Manish Pandey century loosened Mumbai's grip on the title, but th read more »

मला वाटतं घटनेनुसार जवळजवळ २२ संमत भाषांमधून आमदार शपथ घेऊ शकतात. अबू आझमींनी ’त्या’ प्रसंगानंतर पत्रकारांसमोर असे सांगितले आहे की, काही आमदारांनी इंग्रजीतून शपथा घेतल्या. जर ’ते’ चालते तर ’हे’ का नको? हे जर खरं असेल तर आझमींचं काहीच चुकलं नाही. कारण आग्रह मराठीचा आहे, त्यामुळे विरोध इंग्रजी भाषेलाही व्हायला हवा होता. वक्तव्य केल्यानंतर त्यावर कार्यवाही होणार हे मनसेचं तत्व आहे त्यामुळे ’मनसे’ने read more »

Everyone noticed the violence, rebel from MNS team in the Assembly. However no one comments on the revolt by Abu Azmi on speaking Marathi in Maharashtra. He has the Guts to go against the rule of the land. Can you do so in Australia/ Germany / China . What MNS is trying to do here is just save our local language from diminishing. We are not asking the President / Prime Minister to take an oath in read more »

Living life on the edge, scrambling for a toehold on trains, snaking one’s way through traffic snarls, fighting to find a roof over one’s head all combine to make Mumbai the city that never sleeps — and Mumbaikars the people who die younger than the rest of the country.

A study has found that the average Mumbaikar is likely to die at least seven years before other Indians and about 12 years b read more »

By 2010, Mumbai’s 4.88 lakh establishments including high-end malls and multiplexes will have to ensure that the Marathi font is the largest and boldest on the signboards bearing their names.

The saffron-ruled BMC has given shop-owners two months, ending January, to ensure that the Marathi (Devnagari) script gets precedence. So far, the rule was that signs had to include Marathi but there was read more »

Though the traveler becomes more enchanted with the town as t read more »

Within just 5 years time, a second Marathi film ‘Harischandrachi Factory’ has been selected as India’s entry for Oscars in the foreign language film category. It first started with ‘Shwaas’ only few years ago and everybody thought that there weren’t many good films in competition during that particular year for ‘Shwaas’; but read more »
