Padmini in Sanskrit means "She who sits on the lotus", so literally it refers to Hindu Goddess Lakshmi. It may also refer to:
Rani Padmini (Padmavati) (Hindi: पद्मिनी) (died 1303 CE ), was the queen of Chittor (Hindi: चित्तौड़), the wife of King Rawal Ratan Singh and the daughter of the contemporary Sinhala king. Rani Padmini was renowned across Indian land for her bewitching beauty.
There is no historical evidence that Rani Padmini actually existed.
She features in Padmavat, an epic poem written by Malik Muhammad Jayasi in 1540 CE. This is the first written reference to Rani Padmini, occurring approximately 240 years after the events described in it.
Padmini or Padmavati spent her life in Singhal under the care of her father Gandharvsen and mother Champavati. Padmini had a talking parrot named "Hiramani". Her father arranged a swayamvara and invited all the Hindu kings and Rajputs to ask for her hand (request to marry her by showing their eligibility). Malkhan Singh, a king from a small state came to her swayamvara to marry her. King Rawal Ratan Singh of Chittor who had another queen Nagmati, also went to Singhal, defeated Malkhan Singh and married Padmini as the winner of the swayamvara. He returned to Chittor with his beautiful second queen Padmini.
Padmini Kolhapure (Marathi: पद्मिनी कोल्हापुरे; born 1 November 1965) is an Indian actress who appeared primarily in Bollywood films during the 1980s. She made her television debut portraying Pallavi Modi in the Sony Entertainment Television India series Ekk Nayi Pehchaan.
Padmini Kolhapure was born second among the three daughters of Pandharinath Kolhapure, a professional musician, by his wife Anupama Kolhapure. Her younger sisters are the former actress Tejaswini Kolhapure, and Shivangi Kapoor, wife of actor Shakti Kapoor and mother of actress Shraddha Kapoor.
Padmini's family belongs to the Gomantak Maratha Samaj, the major Devadasi community of Maharashtra state, whose ancestral vocation is the performing arts (singing and dancing). The family took the surname "Kolhapure" because they hailed from Kolhapur. Padmini's father, Pandharinath Kolhapure, was a talented vocalist and Veena player. He was the son of Master Krishna Rao (sometimes referred to as Krishnarao Kolhapure), an exponent of Natya Sangeet who had enjoyed the patronage of the Baroda Durbar. Pandharinath's mother was the sister of Master Deenanath Mangeshkar, and the natural sister of Balwantrao Abhisheki, the father of vocalist Jitendra Abhisheki. Thus, Padmini is a niece of legendary singers Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle. Indeed, the two families has always enjoyed close ties. Master Krishna Rao and his brother-in-law Master Deenanath Mangeshkar, together with Chintamanrao Kolhatkar, had once founded their own theatre troupe known as "Balwant Mandali," which however met with only moderate success. Padmini's mother, Anupama Kolhapure, was born into a Konkani-speaking Saraswat Brahmin family belonging to Mangalore in Karnataka. She formerly used to work as ground staff with Air India.

www.bombaychallenge.com De teams zijn binnen. Hun rickshaws liepen rustig uit aan de Oostkust, vermoeid na een krappe 2.000 kilometer door India. Een Challenge met twee vingers in je neus? Ik dacht het niet. De startdag was al een mooie voorbode van wat de teams konden verwachten En die start liep vlekkeloos, althans de eerste 100 meter. Zodra onze host Zenzi Bandra achter ons lag kwamen de eerste teams al met pech te staan over de Oostelijke brug van Mumbai. Dit heeft zich de eerste dag voortgesleept waarbij de meeste rickshaws met de hulp van een stalen buis op hun kantje werden gezet.

There's a figure of fear standing in the rain
Tell me why have you come back again?
Can't live in misery
And can't let anyone see
The fear finally peels away
But I feel like I'm dying every day
As the needle slides in, the pain slides out
A little less human, a little more doubt
As the needle slides in, the pain slides out
A little less human, a little more doubt
The peace of darkness surrounds me every night
When daybreak returns there's a life-crushing light
No reason to go on
Don't care if I face another dawn
No wish for me to remain
Just want release from this misery and pain
Can't live in misery
And can't let anyone see
No reason to go on
Don't care if I face another dawn
No wish for me to remain
Just want release from this misery and pain
The fear finally peels away
But I feel like I'm dying every day
