Nivi style
This style of sari draping is common to the state of Andhra Pradesh. It is also the most popular style of sari draping. In this style of sari draping, one end of the sari is neatly tucked into the band of the petticoat on the waist. After wrapping the sari cloth around the waist once more, the sari is neatly folded into pleats, which are then tucked into the waistband of the petticoat just below the navel. Then after wrapping it around the body one more time, the other decorative end of the sari also called the "pallu" comes diagonally in front of the torso and draped over the left shoulder.

Different StylesHow to Drape SariGujrati / North Indian Style : This style of sari draping is very similar to the Nivi style with the only difference being that in this style, the "Pallu" or the decorative end of the sari is draped over the right shoulder rather than the left shoulder. Also, in this style the pallu is draped from back to front and not like the Nivi in which the pallu is draped front to back.Maharashtrian Style :This style of sari draping is very similar to the way the Maharashtrian dhoti is worn. This style of sari draping is common among the Brahmin women especially in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. This sari is draped in a way that the center of the sari is neatly placed at the back of the waist and the ends of the sari are tied securely in the front, and then the two ends are wrapped around the legs. The decorative ends are then draped over the shoulder and the upper body or torso.
Dravidian Style : This sari draping style is common in the state of Tamil Nadu. The archetypical Dravidian sari is the "veshti-mundanai", which is draped in two parts: The veshti covers the lower body, while the mundanai, or mundu, is an add-on to the veshti. The draping of the veshti is fairly simple as it draped like a towel around the waist and is usually 4 yards in length. This is then folded in half lengthwise. The mundunai is usually one yard in width and two yards in length. Some of these saris are distinctly characterized by a pleated rosette also called pinkosu at the waist.
Madisaara Style : This sari draping style is common among the Brahmin ladies of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. This style of sari is worn on festive occasions or ceremonies and since the style of draping this sari is different as compared to other styles; nine-yard sari is required to wear this style. The Madisar sari is draped in the following way: The sari is neatly wrapped around the waist, with the one end of sari on the right side, while the rest of the saree on the left. A knot is tied at the left waist firmly. The rest of the sari is gathered near the waist. Then a bit of the sari is neatly tucked into the right side of the waist. The end of the sari is then pleated into folds and tucked into the waist. The rest of the saris then folded into 4 to 5 fold, with each fold measuring approximately three fourth of the hand. The pleated sari is then brought at the back with the folded saree between the legs. After neatly gathering the folds, they neatly tucked at the back side of waist. The sari is then gathered to the right side in front and draped over the left shoulder. The end or pallu of the sari is then gathered around the waist and neatly tucked into the left side of the waist.
Kodagu Style : This sari draping style is typical to ladies from the Kodagu district of Karnataka. This sari draping differs from other styles because in this the folded pleats of the sari are formed at the back instead of the usual front side. The pallu or decorative end of the sari is carefully draped from the back to front over the right shoulder. This is secured by a pin to the sari to keep it in place.
Gond Style : This sari draping style is common in central parts of India. In this style, before arranging to drape the sari over the body, the sari is first draped over the left shoulder.
Mundum Neryathum Style : This sari draping style is common in the state of Kerala. This is essentially two-piece sari attire, in which the mundu forms the lower garment while the neriyathu forms the upper garment. This sari can be draped either in the customary style in which the neriyathu is tucked inside the blouse or the more modern style in which the neriyathu comes over the left shoulder.

What was the name of the Pakistani restaurant owner on Seinfeld?
His character's name was, if I remember, "Babu", which is actually a fairly derogatory nickname that was used to describe Indian civil servants back in the waning days of the British Raj, and soon after. It would be kind of like calling your neighbor who works at the Motor Vehicle Department a "mindless drone". Accurate, but demeaning.

Because she estranged herself with too many people at the same time : the Taliban, Pakistani 'Jihadi' fundamentalists and also certain radical elements within the all powerful Pakistani ISI and Pakistani Armed Forces.
Benazir Bhutto albeit the choice of the 'Western' governments to drive Pakistan along the democratic path, did not enjoy uncontested support among her countrymen.
She was continually dogged by corruption-charges during her two previous stints as Prime-Minister of Pakistan. In South Asia, she was widely known as the public-face of her kleptocratic regime. Benazir Bhutto and her husband Asif Ali Zardari faced a number of legal proceedings including a conviction for money laundering through Swiss banks. Her husband was famously known as "Mr. 10 percent". Jemima Khan Goldsmith (ex-wife of Pakistan skipper Imran Khan) famously described Benazir Bhutto as "the Kleptocrat in an Hermes Headscarf".
Benazir Bhutto's poor track-record as Prime-Minister associated with her pro-Western attitude made her deeply unpopular among the Pakistani electorate especially in rural and tribal-areas bordering Afghanistan and Iran.
It must be noted that Benazir Bhutto seriously under-estimated the strength of her political rivals, fundamentalist enemies and over-estimated the ability of General Pervez Musharraf to provide her with efficient and fool-proof security.
Given the numerous opponents that she had within Pakistan, it was unwise of her to have attempted to stay in Pakistan and attend political gatherings where her personal security is bound to be difficult to guarantee.
In fine, her poor judgment of the current pre-electoral political and security situation in Pakistan put her in the path of harm's way and eventually got her killed.
What is the name of Pakistan and India border?
