World’s oldest priest on his longevity...

Nalinnes (Belgium): A strict daily routine is the recipe for a long life, according to the world’s oldest priest, Belgian Jacques Clemens, who will celebrate his 107th birthday on Monday. Clemens, who has also celebrated his 80th anniversary as a Catholic priest, gets up every morning at 5.30 and goes to bed at 9. When Clemens was about to retire at 75, his bishop asked him to remain in service until they found a successor — he only stopped holding regular church services at his parish last year. — Reuters

‘Sultan’ earns Rs 15 cr in Pak in five days

Lahore: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan-starrer "Sultan" has earned Rs 150 million ( Rs 15 crore) on the first five days of its release, setting a new record of doing the best business on Eid days. According to the Geo Films, the distributors of "Sultan" in Pakistan, the film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar has eclipsed the opening weekend record set by Pakistani movie "Jawani Phir Nahi Ani" on Eidul Azha last year. One advantage 'Sultan' had over previous films, including 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', was that it was released over a five-day weekend because of Eid holidays. Two of the major casualties of Sultan's onslaught were Hollywood animated film, “Finding Dory” and the Pakistani heist-film — “Sawaal 700 Crore Dollar Ka”. —  AFP
