Dr. Pitroda recommended the idea of bringing together prospective innovators on one stage and make them fight for the best innovation. “The idea is to promote idea generation process among common man. If every thing goes well, Shekhar will come up with a reality show on innovation soon,” Dr. Pitroda said.

Pitroda said that the platform can provide opportunities to the engineers and scientists, who can come up with new ideas and ultimately secure themselves a job. Pitroda also argued that India does not have the urge to
innovate and that the Indian Universities and teachers are responsible for that.

However in a country where lots of drama and loudness attracts the audience, no one knows if the innovation show can draw much of the audience.

Her fingernails showed anything but contrition.  They had the f-word on them.

Time News Feed said, “But two legal experts relayed to FoxNews that the fingernail message might fall in the realm of contempt of court. New York City Public Defender Stacy Schneider and Los Angeles Public Defender Greg Apt both saw a strong potential for the curse on her nail to add some days to Lohan’s sentence.”

David committed grievous offenses, worse than Lohan’s.   He committed adultery with Bathsheba, then murdered her husband Uriah to cover up her pregnancy.    When he faced judgment from Nathan the prophet, he didn’t drop any f-bombs, he didn’t make excuses.   He repented.

“She is to surrender and begin her jail sentence July 20. Rehab will follow,” reports Fox13Now.

Will there be additional contempt of court charges for her profanity?
