    @Lawrence,Mangalore. If I was born before Indian Independence, I would have made 15 children. If this is Dwapara Yuga, I would have married at least 50 girls. Lol. Is UPA in power now?

    Dont look at the winning horse !! look at the new talents and inspire them by diverting your rewarding amount and spend on them those who wants to raise from the dust and encourage them.. This is i called as MEDIA attention seeking by third type mentality !! Congrats to MIRABAI for your hardwork and dedication to achieve the reward !! excellent
