"Babu alias Ankur, who was about 20-years-old died during a scuffle with people known to him,” said DCP, East District, Ajay Chaudhary.

The police have arrested Dinesh and are on the lookout for the other three.

Samosa

It is believed that it originated in Central Asia prior to the 10th century .

According to the “The Oxford Companion to Food” the Indian samosa is merely the best known of an entire family of stuffed pastries or dumplings popular from Egypt and Zanzibar to Central Asia and West China. Arab cookery books of the 10th and 13th Centuries refer to the pastries as sanbusak , sanbusaq or sanbusaj .

The current day samosas are small, crispy, flaky pastries that are usually deep-fried. They are stuffed with an assortment of fillings ranging from minced meat with herbs and spices to vegetables such as cauliflower and potatoes. In Bengal one finds samosas filled with sweetened reduced milk that go straight from the frying pan to a syrup wash. But whatever the filling, samosas are a treasured snack---the perfect companion to a cup of chai.

Samosas have become popular in the United Kingdom, South Africa and East Africa, Persian Gulf countries and the United States. They are often called "Samboosa" or sambusac by the Arabs. In South Africa they are often called "Samoosa" Frozen samosas are increasingly available in grocery stores in the United States.

While samosas are traditionally fried, many Westerners prefer to bake them, as this is more convenient and is perceived to be healthier (this could be seen as an example of fusion cuisine).

Hocky player named Samosa

In Portugal samosas are known as "chamuças" and they are very popular in Lisbon. Name of a renowned hockey player of Portual is Samsa. Samosas are also popular along the West Coast of Africa and in Mozambique.

Ganesha, Gita, samosa for Sunita Williams in space

Sunita William said, “I am more of a spiritual person. My father gave me a copy of the Bhagavad Gita to take into space. I had a nice, fat Ganesha with me, which means a lot of happiness, prosperity and good fortune. Every morning, I would look at him and he would make me smile,” she said.

It was Lord Ganesha who brought a smile every morning on the face of Indian-American astronaut, Sunita Williams, during her record-breaking 194-day space sojourn at a height of 360 km in the International Space Station.

Arjuna’s dilemma and Gita

If anything, Sunita was entirely focused on the Gita when she was aboard the International Space Station (ISS). “Every day, I used to read a couple of verses from the Gita and try to understand Arjuna’s dilemma. I did this in order to identify if I had the same problems and find the means to solve them.”

RSS culture of discipline in our family

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams said while addressing a Rotary Club function in Ahmedabad in the presence of her father:

"When I landed up in Naval academy I had to adjust to military discipline. The RSS culture of discipline in our family came in handy for me at that stage since my father had been associated with the RSS."

Sunita Williams, whose father Dr. Deepak Pandya hails from Gujarat, arrived in Ahmedabad last week on a weeklong visit to India?

Sunita’s love for spicy Indian food

When we talk about Sunita then how can we forget Kalpana who is collapsed after succeeding her ‘kalpana (drea)’?

Sunita’s fondness for samosas is well known. What is less known is the fact that samosas too featured in her friendship with Kalpana Chawla, a NASA astronaut who died in the 2003 Columbia disaster? “I always looked forward to visiting Kaplana’s house. Her husband used to cook fantastic Indian food, particularly samosas.”

In the previous week at Hyderabad Sunita also mentioned how samosa was part of the delicacies she relished aboard the space station.

Sunita Kalpana vs Sonia Pratibha

Before two days Sonia Gandhi was in Andhra to open the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Science (RIMS) and to unveil his statue. Little Miraya Vadra Gandhi, the granddaughter of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, has an orchid named after her. Earlier in 2003, another hybrid orchid was named after the then Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, during his visit to Sikkim. When asked to suggest a name for a second orchid, a Dendrobium hybrid, Vajpayee named it Kalpana Chawla after the Indian astronaut who was killed in the Columbia incident. K.C. Pradhan and his son Sailesh grew both the orchids. See here the difference between Italian and Indian, Secular Congress and Communal BJP.
