By pakistan at 12 March, 2011, 4:36 am
KARACHI:? Pakistan successfully test-fired its nuclear-capable short range Surface to Surface (STS) ballistic missile Hataf-2 (Abdali) on Friday, the same day that India tested two short-range nuclear-capable missiles along its eastern coast. Pakistan’s missile test was conducted as part of the process of validation and technical improvements in the Land Based Ballistic Missile Systems, a press statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated. Hataf-2 (Abdali) with a range of 180 kilometers can carry nuclear as well as conventional warheads with high accuracy, the statement added. Meanwhile, India fired one missile named Dhanush, which means “archer’s bow” in Sanskrit, Friday morning from a naval ship in the Bay of Bengal off eastern Orissa state. The second missile, the Prithvi II, or Earth, blasted off soon afterwards from a testing range at Chandipur-on-Sea, 200 kilometres northeast of Bhubaneswar, Orissa’s state capital. “The test of both missiles was successful and met all mission objectives,” test range director SP Dash said.

KATHMANDU:? A Buddhist nun from Nepal who became a singing sensation in her own country and the west as well as an icon for hundreds of young Buddhist women will finally make her debut in India. Ani Choying Dolma, a 40-year-old Buddhist nun of Tibetan ancestry, who took “asylum” in a monastery in Kathmandu valley at the age of 10 to escape the rages of an abusive father, is now one of the best-known singers in the country with followers in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, the US and Germany. The daughter of a sculptor who first migrated to India from Tibet and then moved to Kathmandu with his wife, Dolma was “discovered” by an American musician Steve Tibbits, who heard her crooning prayer songs in the Nagi Monastery and was struck by the purity and joy in the young voice. He recorded her songs in Kathmandu and then mixed them with his own music to create an album which created a sensation in the US. Dolma’s guru Tulku Urgyen Rimpoche, whom she credits with changing her from a battered young girl to a mature woman who learnt to forgive, approved of Tibbit’s proposal that she do a singles album commercially, saying it would take the healing words of prayers to people. And thus “Cho” was recorded
