By Gaurav Sharma, IANS,
Ajmer : After a gap of eight years, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari offered prayers at the revered shrine of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti in Ajmer and announced a donation of $1 million for the dargah.
Accompanied by his son Bilawal, Zardari who had last visited the shrine in 2003, was presented ring studedded with nine gems.
“President Zardari prayed here…He announced a donation of $1 million for the shrine,” Syed Zeeshan Kaptan, the Khadim or caretaker of the dargah, told IANS.
The father-son duo spent around 35 minutes at the shrine, which included a 15-minute prayer at the tomb of Moinuddin Chisti.
Both Zardari and Bilawal offered separate chadars at the shrine which they had brought from Pakistan.
According to Kaptan, the father-son duo spent around 10 minutes at the tomb of the Sufi saint also known as Garib Nawaz, and recited verses from the pocket-sized editions of the holy Quran they were carrying.
Both received gifts from the Khadim.
“Bilwal was very happy when we gifted him the pictute of his mother when she had last come here,” Kaptan said.
The 24-year-old Bilawal Bhutto drew instant comparisons with Gandhi scion Rahul Gandhi.
“Bilawal looks like the Pakistani version of Rahul Gandhi… He is a soft spoken person and a thorough gentleman,” Syed Natik Chishti, Khadim at the dargarh who helped Zardari and Bilawal perform their prayers, told IANS.
“We were very impressed by Bilawal…He seems so full of energy and has a kind and clean heart…He is just like Rahul Gandhi,” he said.
Chishti said Bilawal held his hand and asked him to pray for harmonious relations between India and Pakistan.

FRIENDLY GHOST BABY BORN WITHOUT BLOOD

Little Olivia Norton has been hailed a miracle by doctors – after being born with no blood.

Oliva, now six months, was born completely white because she had such a low count of haemoglobin – the chemical which carries oxygen in red blood cells – that it could not officially be classed as ‘blood’.

She was given less than two hours to live but survived thanks to emergency transfusions which transformed her into a glowing healthy pink colour.

Mother Louise Bearman, 31, a barrister’s clerk, told of her shock at giving birth to a “ghost white” baby whose condition was so rare she will now feature in medical text books.

She said: “Olivia was my first baby, so I didn’t really know what to expect – but I certainly didn’t think she’d be that colour.

“I’ll never forget what the doctors notes said – ‘white and floppy’.

“There were some complications before the birth, which was incredibly scary.

“Then when Olivia came out so white we didn’t know what was going on.

“It was such a relief when the doctors explained what was happening, and it was quite amazing when they put the blood in her and she slowly turned this amazing pink colour.

“She’s such a lovely baby, it means everything having her at home now.”

Louise and her greengrocer partner Paul Norton, 36, of Witham, Essex, first noticed something was wrong when they didn’t feel Olivia kicking for three days.

They went to Broomfield Hospital, in Chelmsford, and when nurses failed to spot any movement after a 15 minute scan doctors ordered an emergency caesarean.

Olivia was born six weeks early at 8.20pm on Saturday September 10, weighing 5lbs 3oz with her heartbeat dipping dangerously low.

Haemoglobin is the protein which gives blood its characteristic red colour and ability to carry oxygen around the body.

When Olivia was born she had haemoglobin levels of just three out of a normal level of 18, which meant the plasma in her blood could not be classified as proper blood.

The newborn was rushed to the hospital’s special care baby unit where she was monitored for two weeks and had her strength and colour restored with two blood transfusions.

Neonatal nurse Sharon Pilgrim, yesterday (Mon) said in 20 years in the job she had never heard of such low haemoglobin levels.

She said: “It was a miracle she survived. She was incredibly pale when born and had difficulties breathing.

“There was no sign of blood loss prior to the caesarean or during the operation.

“It was only when we carried out further tests on Louise that we discovered the baby had lost blood directly into her mum’s blood circulation.”

Louise added: “The hospital staff were amazing and called Olivia the ‘miracle baby’ and said if I hadn’t come in she would not have survived.

“Doctors still don’t know why it happened, it is one of those freak things.

“I want mums to realise how important a baby’s movement is in checking they are healthy. You have to trust your maternal instinct.”

Paddy & Mick on ebay 

Paddy and Mick were walking along a street in London. Paddy looked in one of the shop windows and saw a sign that caught his eye. 

The sign read, “Suits £5.00 each, Shirts £2.00 each, trousers £2.50 per pair”.
Paddy said to his pal, “Mick look at the prices! We could buy a whole lot of those and when we get back to Ireland we could make a fortune by selling them on Ebay. Now when we go in you stay quiet, okay? Let me do all da talking ’cause if they hear our accents, they might think we’re thicko’s from Ireland and try to screw us. I’ll put on me best English accent.”
“Roight y’are Paddy, I’ll keep me mouth shut, so I will. You do all da business” said Mick.
They go in and Paddy said in a posh voice, “Hello my good man. I’ll take 50 suits at £5.00 each, 100 shirts at £2.00 each, and 50 pairs of trousers at £2.50 each. I’ll back up me truck ready to load ‘em on, so I will.”
The owner of the shop said quietly, “You’re from Ireland, aren’t you?”
“Well yes,” said a surprised Paddy. “What gave it away?”
The owner replied, “This is a dry-cleaners.”

HERE IS A HOREMANURE WORTH READING FROM STEFANIA BIANCHI MIKE BLOOMBERG’S BROTHEL IN DUBAI

THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 2012

Dubai International Capital LLC, the owner of Travelodge Ltd., reached an accord to alter terms of $2.5 billion of liabilities as Dubai’s state-linked companies restructure debt after roiling global markets in 2009.
Lenders will get 2 percent interest on about $2.15 billion of debt that will be extended for five years, Dubai Holding LLC, the company’s parent, said in an e-mailed statement today. The maturities of a further $350 million will be extended for three years at an “unchanged contractual rate of interest.”
Optimism about the Persian Gulf’s tourism and trade hub, which was rescued from default in 2009 by a $20 billion loan from the United Arab Emirates’ central bank and Abu Dhabi, has surged after state-owned Dubai World restructured $25 billion of debt last year. Dubai Holding Commercial Operations Group LLC repaid a $500 million bond that matured in February.
“We have seen Dubai Inc. achieving tangible progress on debt restructuring and refinancing, and making repayments on time,” Chavan Bhogaita, head of the markets strategy group at National Bank of Abu Dhabi PJSC, said in an e-mail today. “The combination of these factors, and the improved communication with the markets, has helped generate a much more positive tone in the debt capital markets toward Dubai credits.”
Market Gains
Yields on Dubai government’s dollar-denominated bonds dropped to record lows this year. Dubai’s benchmark index has advanced 25 percent this year, making it the best performing measure in the Persian Gulf.
Dubai International, the private equity unit owned by the emirate’s ruler, has already sold stakes in Sony Corp., European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co. and India’s ICICI Bank Ltd. in recent years. It still owns stakes in companies such as German industrial packager Mauser AG, alumina-products maker Almatis and Doncasters Group Ltd., according to its website.
The company sold its stake in Oger Telecom Ltd. in August and two months later offloaded the holding in hotel operator Ishraq Dubai for $130 million. It also sold its 45 percent interest in steel castings company KEF Holdings Ltd. to Tyco International Ltd. for $178 million in June after paying $126 million for the stake in September 2008.
‘No Pressure to Sell’
Dubai International is under “no pressure to sell assets,” Chief Executive Officer David Smoot said in the statement. “Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment, the portfolio is well-positioned to navigate current markets with less leverage, better liquidity and long-term financing, reflecting significant future value potential.”
A group of six lenders, HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA), Emirates NBD PJSC, Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc (RBS), Lloyds Banking Group Plc (LLOY), Mashreqbank PSC and Noor Islamic Bank PJSC, negotiated with Dubai International on behalf of about 20 lenders.
New Board
Dubai International is considering a sale of Mauser, people familiar with the plans said on Feb. 10. Its U.K. budget hotel chain Travelodge is restructuring its debt with financing from New York-based hedge funds Avenue Capital Group LLC and GoldenTree Asset Management LP.
Dubai Holding, owned by ruler Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, also appointed a new board for Dubai International with Fadel Al Ali, executive chairman of Dubai Holding Commercial Operations, becoming the chairman. Other board members include Smoot and three independent directors Aidan Birkett, Christopher Rowlands and Abdullah Sharafi.
Dubai Group
Dubai Holding said it is now focusing on restructuring the debt of Dubai Group LLC, another investment company owned by the emirate’s ruler.
“Dubai Holding will continue to focus on reaching a consensual agreement with Dubai Group lenders and remains confident that the Dubai Group restructuring will also reach a successful agreement,” CEO Ahmed Bin Byat said in the statement.
Dubai Group offered to pay creditors over five to 10 years as it seeks to restructure $6 billion of bank debt, a banker familiar with the proposal said in February. RBS, Emirates NBD and Mashreqbank PSC (MASQ) are among banks that are leading the talks with the company.
