Chandigarh: The UT Education Department in a move to accommodate the slum children of Colony No 5 and Bapu Dham is coming up with a pre-fabricated structure at both places. The structure would be equipped with a blackboard and other facilities including furniture and a library.

Earlier, the department planned to erect makeshift tents to accommodate these children, however, now the plans had to be changed, as the Bapu Dham Colony experimental tents were burnt in a fire. A senior official from the UT Education Department told Newsline, “After the tent was burnt, we though it was better to come up a pre-fabricated structure to avoid any such accident in future”.

Looking at the number of students, the officials have been directed to come up the structures at the earliest. Around Rs 3,00,000 would be spent to construct the structure. Talking to Newsline, DPI (S) SK Setia said, “We had do away with the plan as we later decided that these are not safe for children.

Chandigarh: Heyy Babyy
CAST: Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan, Riteish Deshmukh, Vidya Balan, Boman Irani
DIRECTOR: Sajid Khan
So, okay, it’s not a copy of Three Men and A Baby. Because it’s Bollywood and there are no men in Bollywood, Akshay, Fardeen and Riteish are boys—three boys with a baby on their doorstep. In one clever stroke, first-time director Sajid Khan saves himself from straight up plagiarism charges, and allows himself the freedom to indulge in infantile humour, which boys and babies delight in.

So basically, Heyy Babyy is a running series of jokes which encompass stuff that boys find hilarious — bad smells, rear ends, involuntary emissions, and because there’s a baby in the proceedings, poo and pampers as well. But, and this is the thing, other species can join in the fun. Khan directs with a lightness of touch, and a trademark don’t-take-anything-seriously-including-myself, and comes up with a film which keeps you laughing most of its running time.
