Driving in Portugal. My first ever driving on the other side of road.
This was going to be my first ever drive in Europe. In fact the first real international drive. Before I have driven in Malaysia and Thailand but then those were similar to India except the traffic sense.
Europe is a contrast. The highways are great and the city streets can be very narrow and then all those international signboard which we Indians never give any heed. Nevertheless I was preparing for this drive since couple of months and have tried to go through many online blogs to understand what it takes to drive through. Well i drove in spain too, but that was a different rental and another story. My holiday was planned for 5 days in Portugal and then 6 days in spain. The plan was to fly to Lisbon. Spend a couple of days in there and then take the car and drive to porto. From Porto fly to Madrid and again hire a car to drive till barcelona before saying good bye to a nice vacation.
First thing the car booking. There are big brands and then there are locals. But since it was my kind of first international driving, i wanted to stick to good reputed and known brands. Sixt, Hertz, Europcar and Avis , all are present in Portugal and ofcourse local operators with some great rental deals. I booked through sixth as they seems to be cheapest of all big brands. It was from Lisbon and drop was at Porto. Since it was my first time I took all insurance I can take incl tires and glass protection.
Before I speak any further, let me bring in two important things you should keep in mind while renting. 1. Gps is must and i can explain later. 2. Via Verde electronic toll card.
So let's move forward and talk about the whole experience
Am I eligible?
That's the first question crossed my mind. I had an old style paper driving license hand written in English and Hindi, so i wasn't sure if i will be hire car. So i went through internet and also contacted rental companies to know the rules and whether i need IDP or not. Answer was Yes my drivng license will work as long as it's written in English and at least 1 year old (sigh of relief) but then i will also need IDP (International Driving Permit). But them my driving license was issued from Chattisgarh and there is no way i can go back to RTO and get IDP issued. Here AAUI (Automobile Association of Upper India) came to rescue and issued me the permit. In return i had to take their membership which i must tell you was a costly affair
Remember cross border rentals are costly. When I started comparing rental deals, the first thing i was doing was to look for a cross border rental. i.e. Check Out in Lisbon and dropping in Barcelona, but then i realized it was almost double the cost if i book separately in two countries. That's exactly i did. Sixt offered me the best deal in Portugal and Hertz in Spain. When comparing rates the deal you get can depend on multiple factor. Like Car category, Extras, Insurance and handling etc. The car category i was looking for and with all inclusive cost (insurance and glass protection, liability) sixt got me the best in Lisbon
Checking out from Rental Location:
The rental location was Lisbon Airport, so after i checked out from hotel, i headed straight to airport. At the terminal, i was greeted by sixt representative who got me into their shuttle and drove us to rental location. After doing the paperwork i was handed over the keys. The lady at the reception explained all the rental and highway rules including toll. I opted for Via Verde electronic toll card. There are two kind of toll roads in portugal, Traditional Toll road and electronic toll roads. Via Verde works in both and has exclusive lanes in Green. This not only saves time but is also easier and worryfree as you don't have to figure out how to pay toll at every checkpoint. The charges deducted every time you pass on will appear after 24 hours. More on Portugal toll Guide to Toll roads in Portugal. You can calculate the toll charges between destination here
I got brand new Nissan Pulsar. It's no nonsense practical car with good space. It doesn't have a great driving dynamic but is good overall in comfort. You can read more here
So after setting my own GPS, charger i was ready to roll. I took my garmin Nuvi and also loaded Nokia here maps on android phone before i started from delhi.
Driving Experience
My route was to start from Lisbon, drive through sintra, and coimbra and reach porto next evening. Visit QUINTA DO SEIXO, Douro valley for Wine tasting on 3rd day.
I was a little nervous initially but after couple of kms it was a breeze to drive. Actually it's much easy to drive if you get to know various road signs. I had earlier gone through some basic hints and below post by Manan was really helpful. He has covered almost every aspect of International driving tips. However still there were a lot of road signs i was unaware of, and to counter this i always tried to follow what other cars were doing. Whenever i was leading vehicle, i quickly used to fall back. This was useful as it allowed me to understand the road signs based on leading cars behavior.
I read a lot about driving in portugal and how dangerous it is, but believe me if you have driven in India, there is no place on earth you couldn't drive. Traffic signs may have been a little confusing, but i found people very much disciplined. There were clear marking on the roads and proper signpost.
While highway driving was a breeze, it was a little difficult when it came to city driving. Cities like coimbra and porto has a lot of one way traffic with narrow lanes. When i visited coimbra university, i just parked on the other side of river close to university and walked all the way.
Apart from highways i also got a chance to drive on two lane country roads. I enjoyed driving on those roads, as i found them more scenic. One of the other reason i liked driving these roads because there were dhabas just like we have on the road side and i didn't needed to take an exit to stop. Driving on such roads led me to some village areas where special sign for speed limit etc were there. Apart from these there were signs for overtaking etc which means i could overtake at certain stretches only.
Parking Rules
There are a lot of free open parking available on the street but one will have to be careful not to park at No parking areas. For open street parking remember to park facing direction of travel. At some places there are open ground free parking (one of them was near coimbra University). You will find attendant at these places. You may choose to tip them when they assist you in reversing etc.
For paid parking, the entry and exit are electronic. When you enter, you get ticket from machine but remember to pay before you exit. You will find paying machine which charges you based on the time you parked and during exit you just have to swipe the card to let the gates open. You don't want to be at the gates without paying first, because the gates will not open and you will not be able to reverse if there are cars behind you. I am guessing there is some limit between the time you paid and you actually exit. Initially finding a machine was difficult part for me especially the machines doesn't have instruction in English. But the good thing is Portuguese people are friendly and they will always help you.
Drop Off
I did a mistake of booking my flight between porto and Madrid at 6 Am. Reason the Car rental drop location doesn't open till 7 AM. Basically they are not 24X7 office. So i had to drop a day earlier in the night and had a book taxi next morning. They however offered to pick up in out of office hours for an extra 40 Euro. So a small tip to lookout for opening and closing time of rental location.
Before i end this, i must tell you the reason for GPS, Places in Portugal has a lot of similarity, so you will get confused which one to pick. Also Having nokia Here maps helped me as i could save my places offline (inlcuding hotels) and just drive there. Garmin was also there with me but searching places in the unit was little difficult. The other reason i found GPS helpful was it instructed you to be on a particular lane while exiting or at round about or at traffic signal. This helped avoid any traffic offence. And finally it helped to find parking.

Home Secretary Alan Johnson said the scheme would apply only to future incidents, but victims of earlier atrocities who suffer continuing problems could also benefit.
Mr Johnson told MPs the plans would mirror the domestic criminal injuries compensation scheme.
Details of the scheme will be set out in amendments to the Crime and Security Bill, Mr Johnson said during the legislation's second reading debate.
Mr Johnson said: "It is sadly the case that many recent British victims of terrorist attacks have been injured or killed because they are Westerners and there has been a particular increase in such attacks since 9/11.
"Whether the attacks are targeted at individuals or more indiscriminately, terrorism is intended as a political statement and an attack on society as a whole and as such has ramifications far beyond those directly affected."
The new victims of overseas terrorism compensation scheme will only apply to "designated terrorist incidents" that take place in future.
But Mr Johnson said: "We recognise that there will be victims of overseas terrorist attacks in recent years who continue to face hardship because of disability arising from the injuries they have sustained."
He continued: "Subject to the passage of the Bill, we will provide assistance to eligible victims of overseas terrorist attacks since 2002."
The issue of compensation for Britons injured in attacks overseas has been the subject of long-running negotiation in Whitehall, with reports that the Ministry of Defence had raised objections, fearing claims from troops injured by roadside bombs.

Yesterday, over at oilersaddict.com, Brody wrote a post entitled, "When will the fans stop bitching and start enjoying…???" The theme of the post is fatigue over the constant complaining from a noisy faction of Oilers' fandom despite the team's success this season. Despite the loss to the Sharks last night Edmonton is still sitting 5th in the Western Conference. It is fair to ask the question, "will the self-loathers among us will ever be happy?"
Some can't get past the Taylor Hall trade. Others are still grinding their teeth because the team isn't playing Fayne or Pouliot correctly (or at all). Others are still mad over the Griffin Reinhart deal. While some, despite his lack of success in St. Louis, are perpetually annoyed over the trade/handling of Nail Yakupov. These fans are not happy and the record in the standings combined with a +5 goal differential does not seem to move them at all.
Which brings us to today's poll question:

- Early Bird Offer – Book 28 days or more in advance to receive up to 25% off the full paying price PLUS up to 4 complimentary technical eBooks
- '4 for 3' Offer – Register 4 workshop attendees for the price of 3
Interested in completing this workshop online or onsite? Contact us for more information.
There is a growing shortage, and hence opportunity, for Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) technicians, technologists and engineers in the oil and gas industry. This is due to an increasing need for higher technology methods of obtaining and processing oil and gas as it is a finite declining resource. The price of oil is heading upwards steadily, thus making personnel and their associated oil and gas expertise in these industries even more valuable. The technical challenges of extracting oil and gas are becoming ever more demanding, with increasing emphasis on more marginal fields and previously inaccessible zones such as deep oceans, Polar regions, Falkland Islands and Greenland. The aim program is to provide you with core E&I engineering skills to enhance your career, and to benefit your firm.
This course provides a whole spectrum of activities ranging from basic electrical and instrumentation engineering to advanced practice including hazardous areas, data communications along with a vast array of E&I equipment utilised in an oil and gas environment as well as practical treatment of electrical power systems and instrumentation within the oil, gas, petrochemical and offshore industries. Whilst there is some theory this is used in a practical context giving you the necessary tools to ensure that the E&I hardware is delivering the results intended. No matter whether you are a new electrical, instrumentation or control technician/technologist/graduate engineer or indeed, even a practising facilities engineer, you will find this course beneficial in improving your understanding, skills and knowledge.

Did Justin Bieber Use the N-Word in a Song?
So apparently someone on YouTube create a fake Justin Bieber account that was very similar to his offical one. The hoaxer then posted a new song on the account claiming to be by Justin Bieber called " "What She Wants (Official) 2013" .
In the song, "Bieber" is allegedly heard saying the N-WORD. But the REAL Justin Bieber's camp says the singer had NOTHING to do with this song, and had their legal team get the song removed from YouTube.
What do you think? Could the song actually had been from Bieber himself, or was this an imposter?

Piñata Party is a game mode in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. It takes place on the front yard and has zombies from all areas. Earlier Piñata Parties lasted for three days while most Piñata Parties last for a day. They can only be played when the player beats Day 5 in Ancient Egypt.
After the player wins, they will smash 5 piñatas, which may have free Power Ups, Coins, or even costumes for plants.
When the player completes three consecutive levels of Piñata Party in a row, Señor Piñata appears after the player opens the three regular piñatas. It requires three taps to break and always contains a plant costume or large amount of coins. Missing a day will restart the counter, meaning Señor Piñata can only be opened if the player plays three in a row.

Not only does this study validate our own third-party research and recent Superfood certification, it helps consumers to make more informed choices about foods that can positively impact their overall health.
Past News ReleasesRSS
Carpinteria, CA (PRWEB) June 10, 2014
Hollandia Produce, L.P., a leading greenhouse grower and shipper of hydroponic lettuce and leafy greens, announced its Grower Pete's organic watercress is now a category leader in a new study naming powerhouse fruits and vegetables (PFV).
Jennifer Di Noia, a researcher from the William Paterson University in New Jersey, conducted the study to provide a clear definition for "powerhouse foods and vegetables" (PFV) known to contain the highest amounts of crucial nutrients needed to avoid chronic diseases. Of the 41 fruits and vegetables identified as meeting the criterion, watercress topped the list, with a nutrient density score of 100.
"This is great news," said Hollandia Produce Marketing Director Vincent Choate. "Not only does this study validate our own third-party research and recent Superfood certification, it helps consumers to make more informed choices about foods that can positively impact their overall health."
Earlier this year, Hollandia Produce's cress products were certified as antioxidant-rich superfoods. SCS Global Services (SCS), a third-party certifier of food quality and safety, confirmed that Live Gourmet Living Upland Cress and Grower Pete's Organic Watercress contain high quantities of lutein, an antioxidant known to fight cancer-causing free radical compounds and support eye health.
The study: "Defining Powerhouse Fruits and Vegetables: A Nutrient Density Approach" was recently published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It looked specifically at fiber, protein, potassium, calcium, iron, riboflavin, thiamin, niacin, folate, zinc, and the vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E and K, the 15 nutrients considered of public health importance as recommended by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization and the Institute of Medicine.
Of the 47 different foods examined, Di Noia identified 41 that meet the powerhouse criterion for providing at least 10 percent more daily values per 100 kcal of the 17 qualifying nutrients.
"It is a nutrients-to-calories ratio that expresses the means of percent daily values for the qualifying nutrients the food provides per 100 calories," Di Noia explained of the scoring system that she used. "So, higher-ranking foods provide more nutrients-per-calories."

Dominica, July 5: The Indian top-order star who is leading the run-charts in the ongoing Test series against the West Indies has set his sites on the third and final encounter, beginning July 6. Indeed, Rahul Dravid, who has aggregated 212 runs from four innings, is raring to go for a 2-0 series wrap. He figures that safety and excessive caution should not form the crux of India's outlook in the third Test, scheduled to be held at Dominica.
"The Test match is an important one," Dravid said. "We are not worrying about the series. We've got the team to win this Test match."
Dravid pointed out that rain effectively ruined India's chances to win the series at Barbados itself, but with the forecast looking bright at the next venue, he is looking forward to his team putting on a good show. "We would have liked to win the series in Barbados but to lose 130 overs due to rain was disappointing. We were in control of that Test match, especially from the second innings onwards. This is a good chance to win a series here again. We have to put up five days of big performance here."
Dravid believes that for the new Indian batsman, the Test series in the West Indies has been a baptism by fire. But the veteran who has been supportive and encouraging of the stock of youngsters says that such a learning curve would bode well for them in the future.
"It's been tough for the batsmen," Dravid said. "It's not been easy for young batsmen to come in and face the new ball on these tracks. I have played four tours here and this has been some of the toughest tracks I have faced. Guys will learn a lot from this experience. It will hold them in good stead. As I was telling some of them they probably might not play on these kinds of tracks."
New-comers like Virat Kohli and M Vijay haven't been able to stand up to the pace and bounce in the Caribbean during the Test leg of their tour. Vijay battled hard for nearly two hours in the first innings of the Test and Kohli fought hard in the second innings, but neither were able to turn their starts into sizable innings. Abhinav Mukund managed to put up 48 runs in the second innings, but couldn't move on.
"It's been a tough, hard series from the batsmen's perspective," Dravid said. "The tracks have been slightly tilted towards bowlers, which is good. The West Indies' bowling has been good. From that perspective we have been challenged in this series and that has been good. People might say the batting hasn't fired but in the context of the series we have not done too badly."
Dravid lavished praise on Ishant Sharma for making waves with his 10-wicket haul in the second Test. "Ishant has been sensational. Praveen Kumar, Harbhajan Singh, Abhimanyu Mithun and Amit Mishra all have done their job. The slip catching has been good."
Dravid observes that the pitch at Dominica sees conducive to seamers and added that he is all set for another grueling and challenging face-off.

Tapping into the allegory of their everyday lives works best, yes.
Its what Jesus did with his gospels and ministry
We are so far advanced now. time is of essence, We have the internet and can reach those with ears to hear and eyes to see
Sure there are casualties along the way of the teachings sparking just a neurosis or ego.
But if its ones timing in the natal chart, it will not fail to take root and grow.
Have to have faith it will work out.
Ive never disclosed the final techniques to anyone though, they will discover it when its ones time.
I am going to agree with Illuminaughty on this one LS. I too was told it was in ones own understanding/ability to SEEK and then to find the answers. And yes.. as I have stated for every legitimate Guru there are many charlatans. Chose carefully! My father used to quote PT Barnam "there is a sucker born every minute and two to take him".
But the time is short and it must be said the search is now over more than just space- it is time. We do not have much time and the quantum leap of mankind into Spiritual Mastery must be found and then peace can be achieved. We both know that for some just jotting notes and reading about spirituality does not a spiritualist make. In Shaolin we worked out until we sweated, aummed until we were hoarse then played with Prana balls until we thought we were high.. all within 3 hours M-W-F and oh yes wrote down notes that didn't make much sense then but now read like a history book of the last 20 years. So where then to start with the Spirituality Challenged? I think about this every day.. but there is no harm in trying and some Spiritual Masters have written books, have websites, do audio tapes. All Valid all worthy..it is still for the individual to decide, as it all comes down to Freedom of Choice. As long as we are NOT compelled by an OVERWHELMING nanny state that wants your heart your soul your body and that we can defeat Progressive dribble and throw out NEW AGE babble then those of us that DO KNOW the way are bound by OUR choices to LET IT OUT! Continue to discuss this as I do best when responding to others not so much on the monologue and diatribe that most Spiritualist want you to listen to.. and THANK YOU FOR CARING as that is PASSION and please be passionate. Oh and lest I include that LOVE is of the Heart and the Mind and the pen.. in every stroke in every tap..with LOVE..
link to www.soul-guidance.com
I don't know why I found this but it does help in giving some concrete examples and a format for understanding what the path is.. for me it was very necessary I understand Crystal Consciousness I have always loved Minerals and Gem stones and now I know WHY. Every individual is the sum of everything they have touched everywhere they have been every thought they have had.. rejoice in this, as it is our UNIQUE journey that is the secret NOT to be revealed!

"Let me out, let me out,' the spirit cried. And the boy, thinking no evil, drew the cork out of the bottle." - The Spirit in the Bottle
"The Bottle Imp" is inspired by the Grimm Brothers tale "The Spirit in the Bottle." The story follows a poor woodcutter and the woodcutter's son. The woodcutter saves all his earnings for a long while with hopes of providing his only son with an education, which he does for a time. But soon enough, the money runs out, and the boy is forced to abandon school. He instead goes with his father into the forest to cut trees and earn money. One day, while in the forest with his father, the boy walks off by himself and hears a voice calling for help. After a while, the boy finds that the voice is coming from a bottle buried underneath a tree. In the bottle is something that looks like a frog. The creature pleads with the boy to let him out of the bottle. Obeying the creature's request, the boy draws the cork from the bottle, and out comes a spirit nearly half as tall as the tree itself. The spirit laughs and explains to the boy that he was in the bottle as punishment and that he must strangle the unfortunate soul who sets him free. The boy manages to coerce the spirit back into the bottle and quickly cork it. The spirit is furious but pleads with the boy to let him out, promising that if he does, he will be rewarded richly. After some thought, the boy decides to release the spirit. The spirit remains true to his word and provides the boy with a gift that resembles a bag. The spirit explains to the boy that the bag has the power to turn any metal into silver and to heal any wound. All he has to do is rub the metal or the afflicted area with the bag. The boy thanks the spirit and goes off on his way. He provides for his father for the rest of his life and goes on to become the most famous and wealthy doctor in all of the land.
In both stories, it involves a father trying to help their children through a dangerous period despite all the problems they are faced with. April Granger is, likewise, based on the spirit in the bottle. At first they both appear innocent and harmless, but are revealed to be incredibly dangerous.

|The Cid
As portrayed in El Cid
In the white hot initial fervor of Islam, the Moslems swept out of eastern Arabia, across the entire breadth of North Africa, then across the Straits of Gibraltar to Spain in 710, only 78 years after the death of Mohammed. By 718 the Moslems had consolidated long-term control over the Iberian Peninsula, save for certain impoverished and worthless Christian territory in the desolate mountains of Asturias in northern Spain. The initial tide reached as far north as Poitiers, France, in 732 before spending itself. The Moslem firebrands then settled down as rulers of this vast newly converted territory. Thereby began the inevitable process of settlement, of moderation, of becoming cultured and weak, and fat, and fractious and divided. The Christians began, with the taking of Galicia in 750, the slow, seven-century long. Reconquista, Reconquest, of the Iberian Peninusla. By the late 11th Century King Fernando I ruled a consolidated territory in northern Spain consisting of Castile and Leon.
But as would recur throughout Islam's history, revitalization movements were arising, calling the Believers to return to the true path of Islam, and seeking new territories and converts. In the time of Fernando, these fundamentalists were the Almoravides, who had originated among the Berber tribes of the mountains of Morocco. These two forces of expansion - Christianity from the north and Fundamentalist Islam from the south - were set to crush the cultured existence of the Moslem rulers of Islamic Iberia. Then the Fundamentalists and Christians would meet with colossal force on a front across central Spain. Between 1086 and 1102 the Christians under King Alfonso, the son of King Fernando, lost their newly-won territories to the Almoravides.
The Cid (1043-1099; the word an honorific Arabic title, el-sayyid, meaning My Lord) was the greatest warrior of this time. Outcast by King Alfonso from Christendom, he became a bandit, preying on Moslem towns, and a mercenary, working in the service of the Moorish King of Saragossa. After conquering the great Islamic city of Valencia, he became reconciled with Alfonso. But Christendom held Valencia only so long as the Cid lived. After his death, it was taken by the Almoravides, and then remained in Muslim hands for another 137 years.
The story of the Cid became best known to English readers with the publication of the Chronicle of the Cid by the English poet Robert Southey in 1808. Southey translated and blended three Spanish language source works in an attempt to give the complete story of the Cid's life. These were:
The story of the Cid was made into an epic motion picture, El Cid, in 1961. This was an independent film by renegade producer Samuel Bronston, who recruited top Hollywood talent for his work. Shot in Spain, using real (albeit 14th to 15th Century) castles as backdrops, the movie has been called one of only two films every made of an epic hero (the other being Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky).
Both the film and the Chronicle resonate strongly in the post-9/11 world in a way they did not in their own time. The opening sequence of the film, showing the Almoravid Islamist leader Yucef addressing his troops prior to the invasion of Spain, could have been spoken by Osama bin Laden:
The Prophet has commanded us to rule the world. Where in all your land of Spain is the glory of Allah? When men speak of you the speak of poets, music-makers, doctors, scientists… Where are your warriors? You dare call yourselves sons of the Prophet? You have become - women!The final loss in 1492 of the fair gardens of Andalusia in western Europe resonated deeply in the Islamist collective subconscious. American author Washington Irving related in 1832 how many families in Morocco still kept the deeds and the keys to their houses in Granada, awaiting the time of their eventual return, even after 340 years of exile. In his first public broadcasts after the 9/11 attacks, Bin Laden's mentor Ayman Al-Zawahiri proclaimed to the world on 7 October 2001:
Burn your books - make warriors of your poets - let your doctors invent new poisons for our arrows - let your scientists invent new war-machines. And then - Kill! Burn! Infidels live on your frontiers - encourage them to kill each other.
And when they are weak and torn - I will sweep up from Africa - and the empire of the One God - the True God - Allah - (Allah is the Master) - will spread - first across Spain - then across Europe - then - the whole World!
We will not accept that The Tragedy will be repeated in Palestine. Never again Al Andalus!This site is a work in progress that will be expanded and improved on with time. It is not an attempt at a scholarly work. There are certainly enough dry articles dissecting and debunking every aspect of the historical, literary Cid. Instead this is a celebration of the legendary hero. Perhaps not all of the Cid's legend is historical, but it certainly ought to be. And just like the legends of Troy and Arthur and Robin Hood, I suspect that more of it is historically correct than scholars will accept. Hopefully these pages will allow the reader to fully understand the references in the poem and keep track of places and characters.
So explore the world of the Cid - a hero for our time!

Former politician and journalist Shahid Siddiqui criticised former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh for threatening mediapersons on Wednesday while rubbishing all graft allegations levelled against him.
Siddiqui said all corrupt people were frustrated in wake of the exposures that are being made about their wrongdoings.
He said that the media is like a mirror, which showcases a politician's true colours, but it was impossible to shut every person's mouth and break all cameras.
"All the corrupt people, whether they are of BJP or Congress or Samajwadi Party or any other party, they are all frustrated right now. They are looking at the mirror; media is the mirror. The television channels are the mirror and they are looking at their face in the mirror and in their frustration and anger, they want to break the mirror. They do not want to change their face. But how many mirrors are you going to break? People of this country are now totally aware and are ready to fight corruption. Every common man in this country, the slogan of the middle class young girls and boys is that they want to fight corruption," said Siddiqui.
A leading national newspaper 'The Hindu' reported that Singh had changed his income tax documents from 2008 onwards to show a back-dated contract and a highly inflated income of around rupees 6.5 crore (rupees 65 million) from apple business.
The money was deposited in account of Anand Chauhan, who was appointed by Singh to manage his apple orchards and to invest the income from the sale of apples in government securities such as insurance policies etc.
Chauhan then used this money from his account to pay the insurance premiums of LIC (Life Insurance Corporation) policies issued in the name of Singh, his wife and his two children.
Meanwhile, spokesperson of India's ruling Congress party, Rashid Alvi refused to comment on the same, saying that he had no information about the incident.
In addition, he expressed confidence regarding Congress party's win in poll-bound Himachal Pradesh.
"See, I do not know anything about this. I will say anything only after enquiring at length about the incident. I do not think your question is justified and we are confident that the Congress party will form its government in Himachal Pradesh," he said.
Singh would contest the upcoming single-phase elections in Himachal Pradesh from Shimla (Rural), which is scheduled to take place on November 4.
It was alleged that he was paid a bribe of rupees 20.3 million by a private firm when he was the steel minister.
Another Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit apologised for Virbhadra Singh's misdemeanour. He termed the incident as unfortunate and said that sometimes due to heat of the moment individuals tend to react impulsively.
"It is election time and if Virbhadra Singh acted in an impulsive manner. I do not think it is right at this stage. But, he is a senior leader and sometimes in this atmosphere of elections, people get tense and say things impulsively. I am confident that there was no wrong intention behind this. If there is any problem, then we apologize on his behalf, sometimes things happen, so we should take it in that spirit," he said.
A news channel on October 12 had aired a report, based on documents from the income tax department, stating that the bureaucrats and the officials associated with the steel and coal ministries were bribed during 2009-2010.
Reportedly, the documents were based on entries found in a diary seized during a raid on Ispat Industries Ltd. in December 2010.
In June 2012, Singh had quit as the Federal Minister for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises after a Himachal Pradesh court had framed charges of corruption against him.
Singh headed the steel ministry from May 2009 to January 2011 and is now campaigning for the polls to the provincial legislature in India's northern state of Himachal Pradesh.
Earlier, Himachal Pradesh state police booked Singh along with his wife in 2009 under the Prevention of Corruption Act for allegedly misusing his official position and for criminal misconduct while he was the chief minister of the state in 1989.
Police reports suggested that Singh and his wife were charged after an audiocassette by Singh's political adversary Vijai Singh Mankotia was released in 2007.
The cassette allegedly had telephonic conversation of Singh with Indian Administrative Services (IAS) officer Mahinder Lal, who is now dead. The cassette also contained voices of his wife and some industrialists, also identified by police, proposing to invest in the state. (ANI)

Top tips for picking the perfect engagement ring
Let's be honest: getting engaged is quite possibly the biggest and scariest step in your life to date. There are so many things to think of before you do and what if you get it wrong?
The first thing to do is not to rush into things. Take your time to prepare and save up for an engagement ring. If you take time to prepare and put some thought into it, you are likely to be able to find an engagement ring she'll love at a price you can afford.
Some people let their girlfriend select her own favourite engagement ring. If you prefer to surprise her, however, Vashi Dominguez, CEO of DiamondManufacturers.co.uk offers some tips on how to choose the perfect engagement ring.
1. Shop around
Do shop around and browse online jewellery websites to get a good idea of what styles are available and what you could afford. Seeing what is available and at what price will also make you more aware of how to spot a great deal, ensuring you get the most sparkle for your money.
2. Don't be afraid to ask for help
Do ask her mother, sister, friend or colleague for advice. They're likely to know what style of jewellery she likes even more than you do. They may also be able to help find out what her ring size is, by casually asking if they could try on one of her rings.
3. Take note
Do take a closer look at what jewellery she already wears. The style and materials used will give you a better idea of what engagement ring she will love. Does she like big, bold jewellery or intricate, subtle rings and earrings? Is her preference for yellow gold, silver or platinum jewellery?
Make sure you take a look at the jewellery she wears all the time, not just occasionally. Does she have a favourite ring she wears on a daily basis? Does she take some of her jewellery off during the day, because it is perhaps not comfortable due to an active lifestyle?
4. Take her shopping
Do take her shopping. You're pretty much guaranteed to come across a jewellery store or stall and your girlfriend will be only too pleased to point out which rings she likes. That doesn't mean that she suspects you're planning to propose to her; most women simply love jewellery. If you hate shopping, why not ask her mother or a friend to take her shopping instead?
5. Decide on a Budget
Do decide how much you can afford to spend on an engagement ring. There is no point in getting into debt for your engagement. Take time to save up as much as possible and only use your credit card if you really need it.
