Images: Mumbai haunted by mystery ships
For the last few months walkers on Mumbai’s Juhu Beach have been treated to surreal visions of ships out of water. While they no doubt draw crowds of curious onlookers, the presence of these vagabond vessels has raised questions about environmental safety and coastal security. August 7, 2010, an oil spill from the collision of two ships, one of which bore a Panamanian flag, washed up on Mumbai’s coastline, causing damage to the coastal mangrove belt, contaminating the shore and threatening the livelihood of fisherfolk in the region. One of the vessels bore a Panamanian flag. Ten months later MV Wisdom, bearing a Singapore flag, ran aground at Juhu Beach and became something of a tourist attraction until it was removed many days later. June 30, the unmanned MV Pavit drifted into Mumbai mysteriously and ran aground off Versova. Last week, in the third such incident in three months, the Panamanian cargo vessel MV Rak capsized and sank off the Mumbai coast. Are these stray, unconnected incidents? Or do they point to a failure on the part of the Coast Guard to police our waters effectively? While the threat to marine environment and fisheries industry looms large, one cannot forget that the terrorists who carried out the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai arrived by boat. Or that just last week, the Comptroller and Auditor General’s (CAG) report pointed out vulnerable gaps in India’s coastal security. The question remains unanswered: What are these ships doing here?

How to Incorporate Fruits into your Daily Diet
Every time a new week/month begins, we remind ourselves that we'll incorporate more and more fruits in our everyday diet.
But it only takes 3-4 servings for us to realise how disinterested we really are in them. Add to this, the delicious fruits are not the staple ones. Most fruits like grapefruits, lychees, dark grapes and strawberries aren't as easy to get as the same-old, boring apple, oranges and bananas. So how does one get the recommended three to four daily servings of fruits in his daily diet? The trick lies in somehow tricking your taste buds (actually, your mind) into eating and enjoying more fruits every day.
Here's how you can do that:

My brother is my best friend
Friends are the people we choose to have in our lives. You can meet a friend anywhere and get close in a heartbeat. You'd tell him/her all about your hopes, dreams, aspirations and fears. You'd share funny anecdotes about your childhood with them. All this to help them get to know you better.
But siblings, and more importantly brothers, are the best friends god bestowed upon us. It was nature's way of ensuring you had a lifelong friend. And the best part about having a brother or a sister is, they'll know you better than any friend ever can.

Security expert warns hackers can attack Android
BOSTON (Reuters) - A mobile security expert says he has found new ways for hackers to attack phones running Google Inc's Android operating system.
Riley Hassell, who caused a stir when he called off an appearance at a hacker's conference last week, told Reuters he and colleague Shane Macaulay decided not to lay out their research at the gathering for fear criminals would use it attack Android phones.
He said in an interview he identified more than a dozen widely used Android applications that make the phones vulnerable to attack.
"App developers frequently fail to follow security guidelines and write applications properly," he said.
"Some apps expose themselves to outside contact. If these apps are vulnerable, then an attacker can remotely compromise that app and potentially the phone using something as simple as a text message."
He declined to identify those apps, saying he fears hackers might exploit the vulnerabilities.
