Rehana- THE FIGHTER

Rehana Is A Badass Kurdish Fighter Who Has Killed 100 ISIS Fighters. This Is Her Story

Since ISIS began to spew venom in Syria and parts of Iraq, a growing number of rebel armies came up in order to fight against the atrocities of the self-proclaimed caliphate. One such army is the Yekineyen Parastina Jin or Women Protection units (YPJ). This unit is an all female, independent militia which is helping the People’s protection units to fight against ISIS. One brave fighter who is believed to have killed at least 100 ISIS fighters is known by the name Rehana. 

Rehana became a public figure while fighting for the border city of Kobane (or Kobani) in Syria against ISIS. The picture of her holding up the peace sign was re-tweeted 5000 times last year. Although reports claimed that the fighter had since been killed and beheaded by the ISIS, close friends have clarified that she successfully escaped the hellhole in Kobani. She is a trained assassin and has been fighting ISIS to protect her city.

Many journalists who have been in close contact with Rehana have quashed the rumors that she has single-handedly killed 100 ISIS fighters. But many still believe that it is being done to save her from becoming a target against a very strong ISIS army.

Since she became a symbol of Kurdish resistance, almost 10,000 women warriors have joined the YJP making it possible to push back ISIS in the border city. The stories of bravery of women fighters are not new to this town though. Last year Arin Mirkan blew herself up near Kobani killing 10 ISIS militants and saving a village from complete devastation.

The ‘girls with guns’ as they are often called by the English media are true inspiration of how women can play an active role in confronting traditional gender expectations in a region wrought with death and destruction.

TIT for TAT to the EAST INDIA COMPANY

The East India Company That Ruled

Over Us For 100 Years Is Now

Owned By An Indian

The history of Indian Independence has come a full circle. It
is indeed a matter of pride that the East India Company that
ruled us for 100 years, is owned by an Indian today.
Mumbai-born entrepreneur Sanjiv Mehta bought major
stake in the company with a whopping $15 million in 2010,
and became the proud owner of the company.

Born in Mumbai in a family of diamond merchants, Sanjiv
managed to purchase the company from around 40 stake
holders in a process that was long-drawn and tedious. But
he did not give up, even after the acquisition. He said,
“When I took over, my objective was to understand its
history. I took a sabbatical from all other business and this
became the single purpose in my life.” He travelled
extensively studying the history and business of the
company, visited its trading posts and museums, studied
old records – basically, he did not leave room for error of
ignorance.

Speaking on the emotional and historic relevance of the
purchase, Mehta had said, “ Put yourself in my shoes for a
moment. On a rational plane, when I bought the company I saw
gold at the end of the rainbow. But, at an emotional level as
an Indian, when you think with your heart as I do, I had this
huge feeling of redemption — this indescribable feeling of
owning a company that once owned us.”

Under the leadership of Mehta, the brand aims at selling
luxury gift sets, teas, coffees, jams and other such goods
via an e-commerce website. Of course, this is not a purely
emotional purchase and Mehta means business. He
launched the brand and its flagship store on Independence
Day in the same year.

The East India Company, which was started in 1600, was
the first and biggest organization that dominated trade in
the 17 and early 18 century. Entering India in 1757, it
gained foothold on Indian land in no time. Crushing
indigenous traders and farmers, it soon established
monopoly over our country’s produce, and crippled
homegrown business.

From science & technology to business, Indians are ruling
the world today. Be it Sundar Pichai becoming the CEO of
Google, or Lakshmi Mittal being one of the richest men in
Britain, Indians have proved their talent and enterprise
everywhere. For a country that was oppressed by the British
for 200 years, that’s an awful lot to have achieved in so
less a time.



As they say, the power to change the course of history lies
in the hands of those who dream. And Sanjiv Mehta is yet
another Indian who has proved this true.

Usain Bolt - Still the FASTEST

Speed of a falcon's dive is 322 kilometre per hour. Average
speed of Usain Bolt sprinting across the race track is
around 25 kilometre per hour. Much like the falcon, the
Jamaican athlete does not miss his target. Bolt has taken
athletics to a new level. He has won the world
championship for eight consecutive years. He has never
come second in the Olympics. The jovial Jamaican has also
become a household name due to his people skills.


Here are some facts about Usain Bolt, the guy who sprinted
towards indisputability in no time:


1-) Bolt was 14 when he got his first medal at an 80 metre
hurdle at his Alma Mater William Knibb Memorial High. He
bagged a bronze
2-) At 15, Bolt won the 2002 Junior Kingston Championship. He
is the youngest man ever to do this
4-) Bolt is the first athlete to achieve a 'double double' as he
won both 100 metre and 200 metre races in 2008 and 2012
Olympics, consecutively. He has also achieved a 'double
triple' by obtaining the 4x100 metre gold medal in both the
events
5-) His 100 metre world record of 9.58 seconds in Berlin
Olympics, 2009, remains unbeaten
6-) Bolt is the only athlete to have run a 200 metre sprint under
20 seconds, 19.19 to be exact


Bolt's celebratory gesture "To Di World" became a huge hit
among the youths and continues to be imitated
His nicknames also reiterate his sporting achievements.
"Lightning Bolt" and "Bolt from the blue" are two of his most
famous nicknames

Apart from sprint, Bolt also has interest in various sports. In
order to make his leg muscles work better, Bolt would
practise fast bowling when he was younger. He had also
revealed his intentions of playing for Manchester United
Brand-savvy Bolt has his own restaurant in Kingston named
Tracks & Records. He also launched Bolt, a gaming app on
Apple iOS platform. He also has his own headphone range
named Soul

Bolt has received the Laurens World Sportsman award
twice.

This 14-Year-Old Teenager Makes Up

To £1,000 Per Night By Simply

Eating Fast Food On Webcam

This 14-year-old basically has a job that basically all
foodies will kill for. Kim Sung-jin from Seol makes upto
£1,000 an evening by eating fried chicken, delivery pizza or
Chinese food, while being watched by thousands of his fans
via a live video feed.

                He is better known as ‘Patoo’, and is one of the youngest
broadcasters on Afreeca TV, an app for live-broadcasting
video online that was launched in 2006.
The kid has been streaming since he was about 11 and
sometimes invites his friends on the show to eat with him.
And then there are times when he wears a blonde wig and
dresses as a woman for fun while eating junk food, of
course. His most successful episode till date has made him
an unbelievable £1,100. That’s actually literally what he
does in all seriousness.

This sort of content for live audiences in Korea is

apparently quite predominant. In fact Afreeca TV, which has
eight million unique monthly visitors, has become an
important part of social life for Korean teenagers.
Shows like Kim's are known as Meok Bang, a mash-up
Korean word of broadcast and eating. They are the most
popular and profitable among some 5,000 live shows that
are aired live on Afreeca TV.
Moreover, this dude also never seems to put on any weight
no matter how much he eats. Guess, it’s safe to say that
one will never fully understand the culture of South Korea!

Missing MH370!

Debris found on an Indian Ocean island last week is from
MH370, Malaysia's prime minister announced on Thursday,
confirming for the first time that the plane which
mysteriously disappeared 17 months ago had crashed.

"Today, 515 days since the plane disappeared, it is with a
very heavy heart that I must tell you that an international
team of experts has conclusively confirmed that the aircraft
debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from MH370,"
Prime Minister Najib Razak told reporters.
#MissingMH370Found Debris Reaches French Lab.
Matches Boeing 777, Same Type As MH370!

"We now have physical evidence that, as I announced on

24th March last year, flight MH370 tragically ended in the
southern Indian Ocean." Najib's widely expected
announcement ends an agonizing wait for families of the
239 passengers and crew who have demanded concrete
proof of what happened to their missing loves ones.
But next-of-kin, investigators, and the aviation industry are
still left with the vexing question of what caused the
Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft to inexplicably divert
on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014.




The flight apparently veered out over the Indian Ocean,
flying for hours after its communications and tracking
systems were shut off, in what remains one of the biggest
mysteries in the history of flight.
Najib gave no indication that the analysis of the debris
yielded any clues into the cause of the disappearance. "I
would like to assure all those affected by this tragedy that
the government of Malaysia is committed to do everything
within our means to find out the truth of what happened," he
said.


"MH370's disappearance marked us as a nation. We mourn
with you, as a nation."
The piece of debris, a wing component called a flaperon,
was found last week on a beach on the French island La
Reunion, near Madagascar. It was flown to the French city
of Toulouse where it was examined on Wednesday by
French and Malaysian technical experts, and
representatives from Boeing to determine any link to
MH370. Many relatives accuse Malaysia's government and
the airline of a bungled response to the disaster, possible
cover-up, and insensitive treatment of families, charges that
are vehemently denied.

How Every Indian Is Feeling After The Porn Ban!!!

Bans can be brutal. And my Indian brethren would agree
with me right now as we stare at the ice cold,
unapologetic message that pops on our laptop/mobile
screens whenever we try to log into our favourite sites
these days:

"This site has been blocked as per the instructions of the
competent authority."

We know you're depressed, we know you are bored and
we know how to cheer you up. Here are some memes which
