World in your Hands

We have all seen politicians attacking their Opposition over serious and trivial issues. Either they will be seen slapping each other, going for each other's neck or hurling abuses. They make a parliament's boring session interesting for viewers by turning into wrestlers pretty often. We get you some hilarious pictures of politicians tearing into each other. The fifth one will shock you. Also, the good news: none of these politicians are from India. Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) MP Idris Sami Tandogdu (R) and an unidentified CHP MP (rear R) hit Turkey's ruling Ak Party MP Alim Tunc (2nd L) as others try to stop the fight during a debate in the Turkish parliament in Ankara May 28, 2007. Turkish parliament convene to debate the constitutional amendment package regarding general and presidential elections.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) auction ahead of the eighth season got under way here on Monday. Indian wicketkeeper Karthik and legspinner Amit Mishra, also fetched big money in the auction.

Yuvraj Singh's father Yograj Singh held Indian captain MS Dhoni behind the non-selection of his son for the 2015 World Cup, which started on February 14 and continue till March 29. Before the squad was picked for the World Cup, Yuvraj was a likely candidate to find a place in the squad. But the selectors ignored him despite a good performance in the Ranji Trophy for Punjab. According to his father, Yuvraj was pushed away from the list on the insistence of skipper Dhoni who doesn't share a good personal relationship with the dashing left-handed batsman. "If MS Dhoni is having personal issues with my son, I won't do anything, God will do justice. Pray India wins World Cup under your captaincy (MS Dhoni) but nothing can be more sad that you behaved this way," Yograj said. However, on Monday, Yuvraj got a best deal in the IPL 8 auction after he was bought by Delhi Daredevils at a whooping   R s. 16 crore

India continued their World Cup domination of arch-rival Pakistan, extending their winning streak to six with a lopsided 76-run victory on Sunday in front of a crowd at the Adelaide Oval that quite easily could have been transplanted from the subcontinent.  India hadn't won a competitive match in two months in Australia leading up to the World Cup, but returned to form suddenly on the bat of Virat Kohli, who ended a run of single-digit innings to score 107 and guide his team to 300 for 7. In the process, he became the first Indian batsman to score a century against Pakistan in the World Cup. He went to the crease with the total at 34 for 1 and shared partnerships of 129 with Shikhar Dhawan (73) and 110 with Suresh Raina (74) before he was caught behind off Sohail Khan (5 for 55) in the 46th over, triggering a flurry of late wickets. Pakistan were all out in for 224. Raina, who clobbered three sixes and five boundaries in his 56-ball innings, was next out as India lost th

Thanks for all of the well wishes! Another tweet said that Ziva means ''radiance, brilliance, light, God, brightness."

 In one of the most stunning comebacks in Indian political history,   Arvind Kejriwal 's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday scored a   landslide victory in Delhi   , delivering to the BJP its first defeat since its historic Lok Sabha triumph and reducing the Congress, which ruled the capital for 15 years till 2013, to a virtual nonentity.   Blow-by-blow account of the day   Tens of thousands of jubilant AAP activists celebrated across the capital and in many other cities as the 27-month-old party grabbed a sensational 67 of the 70 seats in the Delhi assembly, leaving just three seats to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) - the highest victory margin for any party in Delhi so far. Although Delhi accounts for only 70 of the 4,120 assembly seats in the country, the AAP's spectacular showing had its predictable fallout, with opposition parties and even BJP ally Shiv Sena taking potshots at Modi. The win gave the AAP, India's youngest political outfit, 96 percent of se
