Kanpur: Though the Test match is over and both the cricket teams have left the city for another match, there was ample business.

According to the news, the sale of tickets on all five days remained bright business as the spectators crowd in all the different galleries was not below expectation.

It was reportedly said that about one crore rupees have been earned despite approval of only 75% seating capacity.

Cricket fans from nearby districts gathered at Green Park in large numbers, as news reports pointed.

Kanpur: The tobacco and pan masala obsession of the city's people was on full display at Green Park stadium on the first day of the Test on Nov 25.

Along with this it also remained a hot material for the news.

The man who was widely seen chewing 'gutkha' while talking on the phone in the stands has reportedly accepted to stop chewing tobacco. First, he pointed out that he was chewing betel nut. 

This episode was caught on camera after the completion of 70 overs of the match.

Kanpur: The shaher qazi refused to conduct a 'nikah' (marriage), saying that the DJ band and fireworks at the ceremony were against the 'Sharia' laws.

He agreed to perform the 'nikah' only after the groom's family apologised for their conduct and stopped the DJ and the fireworks. The high-voltage drama lasted for nearly two long hours.

According to reports, the marriage of the son of a businessman from the Talaq Mahal area was to be solemnised with a girl in the Jajmau area two days ago.

A band accompanied the marriage procession and there were fireworks too.

Kanpur: In the morning hours the students look in discipline but after school is over a kind of indiscipline surrounds them. They are seen standing in groups on the not so wide road and cause problems.

This spectacle remains noticeable at the front side of a very posh school here. Why do they become so indisciplined?

They appear to be relaxed moving out of the school gate. They indulge in conversation, pass remarks and giggle, spare little space for the moving vehicles despite continuous horns.

Kanpur: Unaware of the crocodile into the canal water, how did a boy rescue himself from its hold? His brother's ready- mindedness worked at that critical time.

The incident was reported from the Madho Tanda area in the Pilibhit district.

Two boys namely Vikas and Neeraj, 16, were washing their hands at an irrigation canal after working on the farm on Friday.

Vikas suddenly felt a pull on his right leg. It was a crocodile that was dragging him towards the canal.

Kanpur: The mosquito buzzez in the day. The place does not remain safe.

Thank God the Zika virus has not touched more than eleven patients here.

With appearance of one more fresh case,  the total cases now reach up to 11.

With one more Zika virus case recorded in Kanpur , the total infection tally in the city has reached to 11, as reported.

Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Kanpur, Dr Nepal Singh, said that pathology samples of a 42-year-old woman was collected from Shiv Katra, in  Lal Bangla area.

Kanpur: It is quite surprising that the presence of traditional ear cleaners has not out and out come to an end. When available doctors are treating ear-related problems, there appears little need for traditional ear cleaners. However, their practice continues.

It is often wondered how do people agree to sit by the traditional ear cleaners? Do they not think that the traditional style of ear wax cleaning can harm them?

Several show natural aversion to this way of cleaning the ears. And the fact is that clearly, a big ratio of the people avoid them. 

Kanpur: If there is anything I’m just fascinated by in particular it is the old mosque without domes. Its varied architecture is worth viewing for all of those who are either living within or outside the area of Jajmau situated on the banks of the holy Ganges which is not holy as it used to be during the yester years.

This mosque was built by an illustrious  name in tanning industry here. He is no more but his religious deed remains a matter of enthusiastic conversation among those who pay a visit to the mosque.

New Delhi, Sep 26 (PTI) Bishan Singh Bedi once invited Pakistani cricketers Zaheer Abbas, Javed Miandad, Mudassar Nazar and others for dinner in Australia and cooked delectable food for the 25-odd guests, says a new book.

Bedi turned 75 on Saturday and his former teammates, friends and admirers from the cricket fraternity came together to pay unique tribute to him through a festschrift of sorts.

Kanpur: As mobile rings at intervals, he only takes the call but expresses his extreme inability to fulfil the client's request. He is a cardboard stockist running his business in the city of Allahabad (Prayagraj).

Being a regular visitor to the tannery town of Jajmau, he stays in this particular area for days or weeks or months. So, regular calls from his trusted and tested clients remain a chronic discomfort for him. To be precise, he does not irritate, he replies to them in a very polite way like a gentleman.
