A pen studded with thousands of dazzling diamonds was sold for 2.3 million rupees at a jewellery exhibition here over the weekend.The expensive pen is certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI).

"The pen is made in white gold, with around 2,500 natural diamonds, all graded and certified. And also, we have a lining of yellow diamonds, natural fancy yellow diamonds. It has been made by six craftsmen and took around 18 months to make this essentially," said Mani Singh Deo, the organiser of the exhibition.

"The craftsmanship is very exquisite. As you see the pen, you will be able to know that it's a very unique piece and essentially we wanted to make a collector's item and I think we have been fairly successful in doing that," he added.

The exhibition showcased a wide variety of fine jewellery ranging crafted in diamonds and gold, ranging from daily to bridal wear. Organisers credited their affordable pricing of jewellery as the reason behind the success of the exhibition.

The exhibition was flocked by large number of jewellery enthusiasts and shoppers.
"I think jewellery has got good response, people are interested but those are pieces that people don't buy on impulse. What people are definitely looking for are a trusted jeweler who would give them the kind of designs and the range that they require. We have everything from bridal jewellery to daily wear to 'Tanmanyas', black beads and all of it. People were very happy with the range," said Deo.

Amazing facts-Cannibalism

Cannibalism is as old as mankind and we certainly weren’t the first to come up with the idea. Animals have been eating members of their own species since the dawn of time and think nothing of it. To them it’s perfectly natural. Many species of arachnid, for example, instinctively begin to chow down on their mothers as soon as they are born and some mammals have been known to do the same thing. In fact, in some cases mammalian mothers will eat their own offspring if they feel the conditions needed to rear offspring have not been met. Ever seen a hamster do this? It’s pretty disturbing.

Of course, the introduction of civilization, the very thing that separates us from the animals, makes it impractical and morally objectionable to kill and eat your kinsmen. When living in a group structure it is much better to let your friends and family live so they can help you carry that massive mammoth carcass back home. But what if your intended victim is not a member of your tribe? By making a meal of a rival tribesman you not only rid yourself of a troublesome neighbor, you also get yourself a family sized bucket of tasty man flesh as a special treat for the kids. This is one widely accepted answer to the question of where all those pesky Neanderthals went. That’s right, we ate them (or some of them at least – the rest probably ate each other).

Here are some examples of cannibalistic societies in recorded history:


The Carib
The Carib people of the Lesser Antilles not only had the entire Caribbean Sea named after them; their name is also the origin of the word cannibal. Christopher Columbus was the first to report cannibalism among the Carib, whom he referred to as the Caniba (a mispronunciation of ‘Karibna’, the Carib word for ‘person’). Following this many Europeans formed the belief that the Carib practiced general cannibalism but this was not true, the Carib practiced ritual cannibalism and only ever against their enemies.

Any conquistador to stumble across a society of cannibals would have been utterly thrilled. At the time it was considered a Christian’s duty to punish and subjugate any society known to practice cannibalism. This led to many tribal cultures in the Africa and the Americas being falsely accused of cannibalism and may have precipitated the slave trade.

The Aztec
The Aztec were without a doubt the most brutal society in pre-Columbian America. They made thousands of human sacrifices each year, ceremonially slaughtering their victims in a variety of grim ways. Typically, victims had their beating hearts torn out but being burned alive was also quite common. So what did the Aztecs do with the bodies after the party was over? While there is no academic consensus on whether or not the Aztecs practiced cannibalism it stands to reason that they did. Cannibalism, while not necessarily a cultural norm, was not uncommon in pre-Columbian societies and many scholars argue that the Aztecs would have thought little of rummaging through the temple bins for a snack. Others theories that human flesh would have been a delicacy eaten only by the aristocratic elite. The lack of animal proteins in the Aztec diet would have made human flesh a healthy and desirable treat, especially considering the novelty value.

The Native Americans
There is evidence to suggest that many Native American peoples, including the Sioux, the Cree, the Comanche and even the Iroquois, may have once practiced ritualistic cannibalism. Of course, this is a highly charged and highly political debate. Many argue that the accusation of cannibalism is an attempt to depict Native Americans as brutal and uncivilized peoples, thus justifying their subjugation. However, some argue the opposite, saying that Native American cannibalism has been denied or even covered up by some historians in the name of political correctness. Whatever the truth, it would seem that cannibalism was once practiced by at least some Native American cultures, particularly those of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The now extinct Karankawa of Texas are a prime example. In 1768 a Spanish priest witnessed and recorded a Karankawa ritual in which a captive was tied to a stake. The Karankawa danced around the man, occasionally slicing off a piece of his flesh to be roasted and eaten in front of him.

Africa
While no single society in Africa can be cannibalistic, the practice of cannibalism in Africa throughout history has been frequent and widespread. Even today there is thought to be an underground trade in human body parts. Some believe that eating certain human organs and body parts will have a magical healing effect and some witchdoctors are thought to run black market operations, actively harvesting, proscribing and selling bits of other people as supposed ‘natural treatments’. As a result, thousands of people across Africa go missing each year after falling prey to the collection gangs. Most cruel of all is the fact that many victims are not killed but have parts of their bodies removed whilst alive. Sickeningly a human penis can be sold as a cure for impotence but there is a market for everything from a victim’s fingers to their lips.

Cannibalism has also been reported in several recent African conflicts, including the Second Congo War and the civil wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone. It is usually directed against social or racial groups that are thought to be vulnerable, such as the Congolese Pygmies.

Fiji
Cannibalism seems to have once been widespread in many Polynesian and Melanesian cultures. For example, Fiji was once known as the cannibal isles. One Fijian tribal chief claimed to have eaten 875 people and boasted of his achievement.

The native inhabitants of the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia were also thought to be cannibals. When a waling ship capsized near the islands in 1820 the captain decided to lead the survivors 3000 miles upwind to Chile rather than risk taking on the cannibals. Ironically, the survivors themselves later resorted to cannibalism as a means of survival.


The Korowai
The Korowai of Papua, Indonesia may be the only tribe left in the world to practice ritual cannibalism. It is said that they kill and eat members of their tribe that have been convicted of witchcraft, although this may just be a ploy to attract tourists. Apparently the brain is most tasty part of the victim’s body and is eaten raw while still warm. Korowai houses are built high on stilts. It is thought that this design evolved through a need for protection, owing to the once rampant practice of cannibalism on the island. Members of the Fore tribe, who live on the opposite side of the island to the Korowai in what is now Papua New Guinea, are thought to have contracted the degenerative brain disorder Kuru (also known as laughing sickness) through the ritual consumption of their own dead tribesmen.

The Maori
One of the most well documented instances of cannibalism involves the Maori people of New Zealand. Cannibalism has been a part of Maori warfare since time immemorial and they didn’t stop at killing and eating their rival tribesmen. When the crew of a British ship, the Boyd, were accused of unjustly flogging the son of a Maori chieftain, his father’s warriors took revenge by killing and eating 66 of the ship’s passengers and crew. The event became known as the ‘Boyd Massacre’. The Maori also cannibalized European settlers in the ensuing wars and rebellions against the British Empire, as recently as 1869.

Of course, the Maori kicked the habit long ago and now live a healthy flesh-free lifestyle. The same can also be said of all the cultures on this list, with the possible exception of the Korowai. But it cannot be said that the archaic act of cannibalism has completely disappeared; every now and then it rears its ugly, flesh-chewing head to remind us of our gruesome and barbaric past. Sometimes this occurs in extreme survival situation (which can perhaps be forgiven) but it can also take the form of a single crazed lunatic.

Jean-Bédel Bokassa
The self declared Emperor of the Central African Republic, Jean-Bedel Bokassa, has been tried, but never convicted, of cannibalism. In 1979, when a number of school children protested against the introduction of new, mandatory school uniforms Emperor Bokassa gobbled the naughty children up. Some one hundred school children were massacred and, while Bokassa clearly could not have eaten all of them, he is thought to have beaten many of them to death himself. Bokassa’s Ugandan contemporary, Idi Amin, is also rumored to have eaten his enemies.


Dorangel Vargas
Dorangal Vargas, otherwise known as the ‘Hannibal Lecter of the Andes’, killed and ate at-least ten men while homeless and living in a park in San Cristobal, Venesuala. Vargas used the park as a hunting ground for two years before being arrested in 1999, after which he has spoken openly about his crimes. “I make a very tasty stew out of the tongue” Vargo told reporters “and I use the eyes to make a healthy and nutritious soup.”

Top 10 Things To Look Forward To in 2011

We have been looking at the past in the last couple of days so I thought it would be nice to start looking at the future. We have less than 24 hours of this year after all.

And in the interest of fun, let us try to predict what will keep us all entertained in the next 365 days based on the things that seem to be looming in the horizon.

10. Lindsay Lohan Recovery

She’s been down for so long, she deserves to be up there at some point and I am predicting that 2011 is the year when we shall see her rise from the ashes and take the form of a woman of the new decade that will prove to all of us that it is never too late for any of us to correct the mistakes we have done in the past and still emerge the victor.

9. Limewire Replacement

Holy mother of thrist we need a new site. Come on.

There is frostwire and some other sites out there but we all have to admit Limewire was the king… until the major labels shot it down.

8. Noel Gallagher s Solo Album

Our kid put off his plans for a solo album to devote his time to his new baby but we all know he is bound to come back soon. Despite Noel’s strong front, we all know that music is where his soft spot lies.

Noel gave us some of the greatest tunes we will ever hear. His brother already launched his own album and it was, this hurts to say for a fan like me, mediocre at best. We all know Noel is the real kickass songwriter so his new album is making the music lovers hold their breath. Come on Noel, make us wait longer and we will all die.

7. Kate and William Wedding

I am not the least bit interested but the world is.

I don’t know why but alright.

6. NBA Finals

When Michael Jordan reigned supreme in the world of basketball, no one came close. No one.

When Kobe started reigning, many claim to be a close competitor. In fact, many claim to be better. However, Lebron James is the one that stands a good chance of dethroning Kobe, if he hasn’t already.

That is why seeing them face off in he finals would be the greatest roller coaster ride anyone can take.

5. Miley Cyrus Going Wild

She’s, sort of, starting already.

But she’s just beginning. Man, I am excited to see what’s next.

4. Oprah Ending

The queen of talk is ending her show this year and I am sure she’s not going to allow her show exit without creating history. The mere fact she announced the end of her show a season earlier already ensured her ratings of stratospheric proportion.

She has so far given away cars, flew her audience to Australia in her private jet… wonder what’s next. Give us all a planet each or something.

3. Clash of the Greats

These are the matches I hope to happen:
*Pacquiao vs Mayweather
*GSP vs Silva
*Bryant vs James
etc.

2. Destiny of Facebook

Social networking sites really have a mortality rate because technology develops too fast for anyone to catch up. Somewhere in the world someone is already coming up with a great new idea that will stomp current trends and all he needs is a computer to make things happen.

Facebook is doing everything it can to avoid death.

Will it cheat death or simply delay it? This would be interesting to watch.

1. North Korea vs The World

When it was Iraq telling the world they didn’t have nuclear weapons, we didn’t believe them and attacked them.

Now North Korea is sort of screaming they actually have it, we’re not coming near them.

What to do? what to do?
