British Prime Minister David Cameron on Friday said a time will soon come when there will be a British-Indian prime minister. Addressing 60,000 wildly cheering British-Indians awaiting to listen to visiting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Cameron began with an Indian style of greeting: "Namaste Wembley!" "It won't be long before there is a British-Indian prime minister in 10, Downing Street," Cameron said citing the contributions of British-Indians in various fields. He said that "India-UK ties are about people and about prosperity". "PM Modi and I govern in challenging times but we are united by the scale of our ambition," he said.

Dhantrayodashi which is also known as Dhanteras is the first day of five days long Diwali festivities. On the day of Dhantrayodashi, Goddess Lakshmi came out of the ocean during the churning of the Milky Sea. Hence, Goddess Lakshmi, along with Lord Kubera who is the God of wealth, is worshipped on the auspicious day of Trayodashi. However, Lakshmi Puja on Amavasya after two days of Dhantrayodashi is considered more significant. Lakshmi Puja on Dhanteras or Dhantrayodashi should be done during Pradosh Kaal which starts after sunset and approximately lasts for 2 hours and 24 minutes. We don’t advise to choose Choghadiya Muhurat to perform Dhanteras Puja as those Muhurtas are good only for travelling. The best time for Lakshmi Puja on Dhanteras is during Pradosh Kaal when Sthir Lagna prevails. Sthir means fixed i.e. not moveable. If Dhanteras Puja is done during Sthir Lagna, Lakshmiji will stay in your home; hence this time is the best for Dhanteras Pujan. Vrishabha Lagna is considered as Sthir and mostly overlaps with Pradosh Kaal during Diwali festivity. We provide exact window for Dhanteras Puja. Our Muhurat times contain Pradosh Kaal and Sthir Lagna while Trayodashi is prevailing. We provide Muhurat based on location, hence you should select your city first before noting down Shubh Dhanteras Puja timings. Dhanteras Puja is also known as Dhantrayodashi. The day of Dhanteras is also observed as Dhanwantari Triodasi or Dhanvantri Jayanti, the birth anniversary of the God of Ayurveda. Yamadeep is another ritual on the same Trayodashi Tithi when the lamp for the God of death is lit outside home to ward off any untimely death of any family members.

Abhishek Bachchan is all set to play a gangster in his next film. After working with wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sanjay Gupta seems all set to work with Abhishek Bachcchan. The gangster drama is apparently based on S Hussain Zaidi's bestseller, Byculla To Bangkok. Set in the era when gangsters ruled supreme, the film will explore the nexus between the police, underworld, politicians and mill owners. According to a report on Desimartini.com, Abhishek's character is based on the life of Chota Rajan, who was recently arrested in Bali.

Myth: Only kids get it.

Truth: While for many asthma does start in childhood, some people are diagnosed in their 40s with so called 'adult onset asthma'. Some women experience symptoms for the first time when going through menopause, so experts think there might be a hormonal link.

Myth: It's not that serious.

Truth: Over a third of people with asthma are at high risk of a fatal attack, with 5% of sufferers having symptoms so severe they have difficulty breathing almost all of the time.

Myth: Don't exercise if you have asthma.

Truth: Regular exercise can improve lung function and help you stay slim, which can mean fewer attacks. But if cold air, pollution or pollen trigger your asthma, it's sensible to avoid exercising outside when these factors are present. And always talk to your GP before starting a new fitness programme.

Myth: Asthmatics always wheeze.

Truth: Many sufferers don't wheeze at all. That nagging dry night cough, or a chest cold that won't go away, can also be warning signs of the condition as can coughing in response to cold air.

Myth: You only need an inhaler when you're having an attack.

Truth: Effectively managing asthma isn't just about taking 'relievers' when flare-ups or attacks occur. Patients often need to take 'preventers' on a daily basis to combat chronic inflammation and avoid future attacks.

The pilot of a police helicopter which ran out of fuel, crashing into a busy pub in Glasgow city centre and killing 10 people, did not follow emergency landing procedures despite acknowledging an audible low fuel warning five times. The final conclusions of an air accident investigation into the Clutha tragedy state that pilot David Traill failed to land within the specified 10-minute period after “continuous activation of the low fuel warnings”, but offer no explanation as to why this happened. The report of the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) found no evidence of technical malfunction or fire. It also states that the helicopter did have enough fuel on board to complete its journey, but that 73kg of usable fuel in the main tank became unusable as a result of the fuel transfer pumps being switched off, again “for unknown reasons”. The pumps could have been switched back manually by the pilot.

Germany is to push for more ambitious and extensive common European Union policies on the refugee crisis, according to policymakers in Berlin, with compulsory and permanent quotas for sharing the distribution of probably hundreds of thousands of people who will arrive directly from the Middle East. Also on Berlin’s agenda are new European powers replacing some national authority over border control, and the possible raising of a special EU-wide levy to fund the policies. The plans, being prepared in Berlin and Brussels, are certain to trigger bitter resistance and major clashes within the EU. Berlin backs European commission plans to make the proposed scheme “permanent and binding”. But up to 15 of 28 EU countries are opposed. The plans will not apply to the UK as it is not part of the EU’s passport-free Schengen zone and has opted out of EU asylum policy, saying it will not take part in any proposed European refugee-sharing schemes.
