Here are Top 5 happenings in Jalandhar for week ended Sept. 21,2008.

5. Mr. Tiger is not going away yet. Well MC is fogging different areas in City but still Tiger seems strong enough to weather all attempts to contain it.

4. Last week was the birth anniversary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh. There were some function held around the city and there are some who still take time to remember this great son of India. We salute Shaheed Bhagat Singh and all the martyrs who sacrificied their life so we could live in a free India.

Shahedo Ki chitayo pe lagege har saal mele, waqt me mitne walo ka yaheen bake nishan hoga.

3 Jalandhar Improvement Trust got its chairman this week. Finally it is Mr. Baljeet Singh Neelmahal who won the crown. Wonder what it took so long for Akali-BJP govt. to appoint a head to this lucrative job?

2. Jalandhar MC had their meeting and a number of decisions were made but what stole the show was usual shoutings and walkout of different memembers and sadly all of 20 female members of the house remain silent and did not raised any issue. Maybe it will take time for women to become accustomed to the house proceedings. We concourage these memembers to be vocal for the issues of their respective wards.   

1.Well Mr. Charming Rahul Baba was in the city and Congressis were tripping over one another to get a picture with him. Most were not successful but some were atleast successful in getting the posters made with their picture alongside picture of Rahul. The leaders who were fighting with each other as of last month were seen standing side by side. Not bad.

One of our dear Jalandhari "Raman Jindal" has sent in this photo essay on the plight of poor in Jalandhar. These are the shops close to Rama Mandi chowk that has been demolished by Cantonment board. These shops were unauthorised. Now Cantonment board might build new shops at these places and rent these out. Well what can we say. Why were these shops allowed in the first place. Here is the picture essay on tragedy that poor suffers:

Last week, we took a week off.

Here are Top 5 for last week ended Sept. 21,2008.

5. Well it turned out it won't be Shahrukh but Rahul Gandhi. Well he might not be a movie star but he sure is a charming personality. And politics aside, he is definately talk of town.

4.Tiger. Yes, he is down a bit but not yet out. He is still scaring Jalandharies in various parts of city. For people who do not know Tiger is name of a mosquito species and spread dangerous diseases.

3. Mera Pind. Yes, Jalandharies loved our own Jalandhari "Ghuggi"  in  the movie and he definately brings a freshness to this movie.

2. It is a unlikely hero. Normally people love to talk about corruption in police officers and how they get influenced by powerful corrupt leaders. But one officer has shown time and again that police does have real power and powerful goondas were seen hiding and running for a place to hide but there was none. Yes he is Mr. Bali who is posted in Bhargo Camp area. Jalandhari.com salutes all honest police officers.

1. Well last week "Sodal Mela" definately took the top spot. Most of schools had holidays and lakhs of people visited the temple and took blessings.

5. Last week as we gave a hint, Sugandha Mishar is out of TGILF4. All of Jalandharies wanted her to succeed but it did not happen. Well Jalandhari.com wish her success in her life and career. She is our No. 5 for the last week. We hope to see her back in Top 5 soon.

 4. There were some Ganesh Cahturthi celebration around. But the Top 4 spot was taken by this image of Ganesh Ji which appeared in a household near BastI sHEIKH.

3. Tiger. What? Tiger in Jalandhar ? Yes, Tiger is the name of a dangerous species of mosquitoes and is causing panic among city dwellers. Its bite can cause serious life threating conditions such as low platelets count. 

2. Mera Pind made it to Top 2 list. It is a nice family movie. Though all of Harbhajan Mann's movies are stuck on one idea. But in this one Sidhu is the scene stealer. Navjot Sidhu) - a well to do, happy go lucky NRI who has chosen to settle in his native village, spreads the message of self-empowerment and entrepreneurship amongst the village youth. Led by Himmat (Harbhajan Mann), the youth set off a revolution of development in the village. Their lives are changed by Sidhu’s simple but extremely enterprising initiatives. Soon, the village transforms into a modern prosperous hamlet and becomes a model in its own right.

The film drives an important message targeted at Punjabi audiences; to realize the importance of being an entrepreneur in one’s own land rather than extraordinary entrepreneurship in the West. Punjabi's are touted to be fairly successful and hardworking that side of the globe, an impression which belies the visible reality back home
