Miya bibi razi to kya karega qazi, is a popular Urdu saying in the Indian sub-continent. But in the case of Indian tennis star Sania Mirza and Pakistani ace cricketer Shoaib Malik, it’s the qazi, who is going to hog all the limelight.
POLICE PATT`IE HO GAYEE MAA
(A traditional Hyderabadi song).

A Hyderabad-based rationalist faces an arrest warrant from a Kangeyam court in western Tamil Nadu for allegedly going back on his promise of Rs 5-crore reward to a vaastu consultant there for proving that vaastu is effective and scientific.
When the case comes up on Thursday (April 8), the vaastu expert, Mr M. Palanisamy, hopes to see the police get Mr T. V. Rao of the Vaasthu Nija Nirtharana Vedika Committee of Hyderabad to the court for going back on his promise of reward made before the media in Coimbatore five years ago.
Mr Rao says that the reward was not announced by his Vedika but only by a US-based rationalist-non believer group, ‘James Randi Educational Foun-dation’, as could be seen on its website.
On the JREF site, www.randi.org, founder James Randi had promised long ago a reward of a million dollars “to anyone who can demonstrate any psychic, supernatural or paranormal ability under satisfactory observing conditions”. The site also warns that several applicants “have suffered great personal embarrassment after failing these tests.”
“Rao is speaking of this American organisation only now after I staked a claim for the reward. I have been fighting my case for a long time and only when he started dodging my calls and failed to respond to my vaastu papers that I had sent, did I move the court for justice,” the expert said.
