Raksha Bandhan celebrates the sacred bond of siblings, with the brother getting a rakhi tied on his hand as a symbol of ensuring his sisters safety from all evil. Centred around this auspicious festival, renowned lyricist and ad man Prasoon Joshi has written a poem on sisters, sharing it on his Facebook page.

She, who might be younger to you in age, but cares for you no less than a parent.She, who leaves the door quietly open when she knows you are coming in late. She, who only smiles dismissing what you are saying, knowing very well that they are lies.

Joshi pays a tribute to all the sisters across the world on Raksha Bandhan through his heart-touching poem.

Written in Hindi, the poem talks about how a sister does those little things that show just how much she loves you. Her acts of kindness show how big her heart is. Yet, on Raksha Bandhan, Prasoon writes, the brother becomes the more responsible, the elderone, because of the sense of responsibility that is imbibed into him by the simple tin thread of the rakhi she ties on his wrist. Yet, thats only for a moment

Prasoon reminds us how the sister through her acts of love will remain the elder one, even if shemight beyoungerin age.

Heres the Facebook post titled Raksha Bandhan poem by Prasoon Joshi.

Tell us what you think about the renowned screenwriters poem.

Jill Stein Green Party CNN Presidential Town Hall Full Interview 17th August 2016

Jill Stein"s vice presidential running mate, Ajamu Baraka, defended his decision to call President Barack Obamaan "Uncle Tom president," saying he "stands by" his choice to use the he"s used to describe America"s first black president.

The moment came Wednesday night during CNN"s Green Party town hall, when moderator Chris Cuomo asked Baraka why he has used the term "Uncle Tom" to criticize .

"There are legitimate arguments to be made," Cuomo said about Obama"s presidency. "But you called him an Uncle Tom. Now that"s a little bit different than making legitimate arguments."

But Baraka defended using defined by Merriam-Webster"s dictionary as a black person "overeager to win the approval of whites" by saying he used it while speaking to a

Cuomo, however, wasn"t having that argument.

"Is there any good context?" Cuomo asked Baraka of the term.

"What I wanted to do was basically to tell people who had this hope in Barack Obama, that if we were concerned and serious about how we could displace white power, we had to demystify the policies and the positions of this individual," Baraka said. "So that was how it got framed, to shock people into a more critical look at this individual, and that"s how I did it, and I stand by that."

Cuomo then turned to Stein to ask whether she agrees with her running mate"s decision to use a against Obama.

Stein did not disavow Baraka"s response, giving a vague answer with buzzwords.

"I am so grateful that we have an opportunity to go beyond sound bites," Stein said. "And I understand Ajamu"s passion, his frustration and his struggle. And I also understand his transcendence and the way in which this is a challenge to us all right now to both feel the passion of our struggle but also to be capable of transcending it and connecting with each other, healing our wounds and forging a bigger vision and a bigger community."

She went on to say that she"s "worked with Ajamu for years" and that she has "never heard him use derogatory language."

Twitter was aghast at the exchange, with many calling Baraka"s use of the term "disgusting," and criticizing Stein for standing by her running mate"s use of the epithet.

By: The Big Lead Staff| 2 hours agoFollow @thebiglead

The saga of Robert Griffin IIIand his new girlfriend, FSU track athleteGrete Sadeiko, whose name he already has tattooed on his arm, transfixed the sports world on Wednesday. All of this came just one day after news emerged that RG3 was divorcingRebecca Liddicoat,his wife of three years.

TMZ has done some follow-up reporting. Citing sources close to the estranged couple, they say that RG3 and Sadeiko met on Instagram in January, the social media relationship turned real, and Griffins wife was upset when she found out about it in April.

Further according to TMZs sourcing, RG3 and his wifehad been separated since around then, but Liddicoat, who held out hope for saving the marriage, was blindsided when the Browns quarterback filed for divorce earlier this week.

Depending on what documents were signed before the marriage, on the surface it does not appear at this time as though RG3s behavior will be looked upon favorably in the proceedings. That being said, we only know one side of the story and perhaps more information will emerge.

Amy Schumer Is "Disappointed" In Show Writer and Friend Kurt Metzger Over His Comments on Sexual Assault

Kurt Metzger - White Precious - Jaywalking Ticket

Amy Schumer has spoken out about her disappointment over one of her show writer"s controversial comments about rape.

In a now-deleted Facebook post, Kurt Metzger who has worked as a writer on Inside Amy Schumer criticized women who claim to have been raped, but do not report it to the police.

"I am so saddened and disappointed in Kurt Metzger," Schumer tweeted in response to the Inside Amy Schumer writer. "He is my friend and a great writer and I couldn"t be more against his recent actions."

Metzger"s post, obtained in a screenshot by Medium.com, joked about the topic as he wrote that declaring someone is a rapist without evidence is "like hammering the nails into Jesus My Lord"s feet! Or re-raping the victim"s good hole. Or asking for proof in a murder trial!"

As fans responded to Schumer"s tweet, questions about Metzger"s employment continued to come up, prompting the actress who recently revealed she was a victim of sexual assault to later tweet, "Kurt does not work for me. He is not a writer on my show. Please stop asking me about it. His words are not mine."

Metzger"s most recent writing credit on the show is from an April episode.

Metzger responded in a series of social media posts defending his position on the topic, saying that he wasn"t victim blaming and that the people who are accusing him of doing so are missing the point that he was simply asking for more information.

"Sorry for spreading so much HATE by merely asking ANY QUESTIONS before I join your mob! Can u please accept my apology," he wrote, adding in other tweets, "Wouldn"t blame a victim for trying to destroy an attacker"s rep Notice I didn"t declare guilt or innocence on this dude? I merely stated that the idea of an "internal ucb [Upright Citizen"s Brigade] investigation" is f---ed."

Metzger continued his defense on Facebook and will discuss the issue in an interview on Race Wars on Sirius XM"s Opie Radio on Wednesday night.

Twitter: Lightweight Beast Khabib Nurmagomedov Sends A Message To Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor went off on Nate Diaz at the UFC 202 pre-fight press conference

Khabib Nurmagomedov is a terrifying man, and on Tuesday he sent a chilling message to Conor McGregor. However, to the likely relief of many McGregor fans, the harrowing threat contained in the Dagestani fighters tweet was not actually aimed at the UFC featherweight champion.

Nurmagomedov is currently the UFCs top-ranked lightweight contender, but ever since Eddie Alvarez got his destructive hands on the 155-pound belt, the undefeated sambo stylists chances of getting a title shot seem to have gotten slimmer and slimmer.

Thats because Alvarez has set his sights on the winner of this weekends huge rematch between McGregor and Nate Diaz, whomever that may turn out to be. At every opportunity, the Philadelphia native has called out the two men and tossed derision in their direction, with The Notorious Irishman seemingly the main target of his taunts.

Alvarez says he just wants a lucrative showdown, acknowledging that fighters only have a limited time in which to accumulate cash, and thus he is taking aim at the two biggest names in or around his division. But in Khabibs eyes, the new champion is a chicken, intent on avoiding him and taking on supposedly less dangerous opposition.

With Alvarez unaffected by these attacks on his manhood, Nurmagomedov turned his attention to McGregor. The Eagle first took a pop at the 28-year-old Pay-per-view star over his March defeat to Diaz, before warning him to stay off that path to the lightweight title.

But it was Alvarez who was the subject of the disturbing imagery that followed.

Eddie, just gather the family and disappear into the night.
