Coin Box

The counting of cash collected in donation boxes of the famous Sai Baba temple in Shirdi was on Friday cancelled as bank officials did not turn up citing lack of space to keep coins, Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust (SSST) Chief Executive Officer Deepak Muglikar said.

Around 18,000 undertrials in Maharashtra prisons can now call their families and talk for five minutes every week, with the first such 'coin box' facility in the state launched in Sangli district.

Whoever coined the term idiot box decades ago must have been far-sighted, because the Indian television industry seems to be doing justice to the term. From ichha-dhaari naagins to crocodile attacks to tiger incarnations, they have done it all, television shows have all sorts of bizarre plots
