Youth reinforces battle for life with saat phere in hospital

Vijay Upadhyay
Agra. Every youngster harbours a dream but for this young man in Agra, it took an entirely different turn when after completing the saat phere, he was back to the hospital bed where he has been struggling for life for the past one week.

Yogesh Sharma, a resident of Agra, ran a commodity trading post in Mathura and his wedding had been fixed for this week but just one week before his wedding, Yogesh was called off from his trading post by some of his friends who, following some argument, repeatedly stabbed him in the abdomen and left him to die on the Agra-Delhi highway.

Injured seriously and bleeding profusely, Yogesh was rushed to a hospital in Mathura. There, he was referred to Agra and since then, has remained admitted in the CCU of the Ram Raghu hospital. While Yogesh was fighting to hold on to his life, it was too much for his family, who had made all preparations for his wedding this week.

Doctors were not sure as to how long it would take Yogesh to recuperated, upon which, the families of the prospective groom (Yogesh) and bride (Varsha) decided to go on with the wedding as planned.

Again, another hurdle. Doctors refused to allow Yogesh to be taken out of the hospital for the wedding. Both the families, then, agreed to have the wedding cermony within the hospital premise.

Last Wednesday, the wedding was duly conducted at the hospital in a mandap erected in the hospital lobby. While all rituals of the wedding were conducted without the groom, Yogesh was specially brought out of the ICU for the saat phere and soon afterwards, he was again sent to the ICU. After the wedding, Varsha left for her in-laws' house, where she awaits her husband's return.

Woman torched to death by inlaws on International Women's Day in India

AGRA.               It could serve as a well-placed slap in the face of the the groups of so-called women's rights activists who all too recently celebrated International Women’s Day, fervently praising the contribution made by women to the society and vowing to prevent violence against the feminine gender comfortably ensconced in luxurious clubs and hotels.    While the world was busy celebrating women’s day, a young girl was murdered in cold-blood, torched to death by her in-laws in Kayamganj town of Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh, alongwith a 6-month fetus inside her, just three years after marriage.    Two weeks have passed since the grisly murder but the local police appears to be in no hurry to catch the absconding in-laws who doused the girl in kerosene and left her to burn and die on the street, making good their escape while the locals awaited for the police to arrive. Meanwhile, the victim’s mother Archana Sharma has suffered from a strok

My views on Libya, India and the permanent SC seat

On Wednesday, the British government 'de-recognized' the Gaddafi government and decided that it was in the interest of democracy to recognize the Libyan rebels as the only legal representative of the Libyan people. Immediately after that, the British Police entered the Libyan embassy in London and forced the remaining Libyan diplomats out of UK. France has already been parachuting modern weaponry, arms and ammunition to the Libyan rebel strongholds and both France and the United States have recognized the rebels as the legal Libyan representative power. While I am not a fan of Gaddafi or his regime in any way or form but I am equally disappointed in NATO's tactics and the double standards being played by the western powers in the Arab world. Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein had been two sore patches in the otherwise near-sweeping 'western conquest' of the Arab world and its oil. Only now, when a group of disenchanted Libyans, trained and provided for by wes

Vishal Sharma / Agra December 29, 2008, 0:00 IST Govardhan Udyog plans to use cowdung to produce particle board. Faced with the task of developing environment-friendly technology for industry due to guidelines issued by the Supreme Court, entrepreneurs in Agra are realising the cost-effective potential of such technologies and innovations. Govardhan Udyog is one such unit which plans to use a non-conventional raw material, cowdung, to produce particle board and pharmaceutical products. The unit was inaugurated this week on the Agra-Delhi national highway near the Mathura refinery, about 55 km from Agra. Company sources said the basic raw material used in the manufacture of particle board will be cow dung. This will perhaps make it the first particle board manufacturing facility using cowdung as the raw material. Govardhan Udyog Managing Director SK Mittal said particle boards were emerging as a viable alternative in designing office furniture and automation products in the country as c
