Previously on Virtual Poona we learnt of Brangelina fever
in Pune
surrounding the filming of a tribute to Daniel Pearl.
But it's not all gossip here. Today Yahoo reports :
'On Oct. 10, 2006, slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl
would have turned 43. News of his assassination in Pakistan at

the hands of Muslim extremists in early 2002 reverberated around

the world. Pearl's parents, Ruth and Judea Pearl, spoke to

Yahoo! News recently about the HBO documentary

"The Journalist and the Jihadi: The Murder of Daniel Pearl"
and an annual global musical tribute, which coincide with their
son's
birthday. They also provided photos of Pearl, some of which
have
never been seen publicly.'

  1. The duo is creating riots in Pune streets. They want publicity and deny it as well.
