ANNA ended his 12-day fast on Sunday morning before thousands of cheering supporters at Ramlila Maidan.
The 74-year-old Gandhian accepted a glass of tender coconut water mixed with honey from a Dalit and a Muslim girl -- Simran and Ikrah -- at 10:20 am on the dais at the Ramlila Ground ending over 288 hours of fast that began on August 16.
Around 80 volunteers were in action at the ground all day and night to provide security to Hazare.
History was made in Parliament on Saturday when the two Houses bowed to Anna Hazare's campaign, powered by a groundswell of popular support, for a strong and independent Lokpal.

Coconut milk is excellent for skin care, especially in winter. Take half a cup of coconut milk. Use half of it to apply it over the face and body. Mix the rest with red sandalwood powder, apply the paste on the face. It can also be applied all over the body. It exfoliates your skin.
Is your skin looking dull and lifeless? Mix coconut water and thick pineapple juice. Add multani mitti and apply it over your face and body. Do not scrub vigorously; wash it off with ice cubes or cold water.

Petrol price hike: from Rs 8 to Rs 63+ in 20 years
In the steepest hike ever, state-owned oil companies on Saturday increased petrol price by about Rs 5 per litre with effect from midnight tonight.
The increase in petrol price, which the oil firms had been holding since January even though crude oil had touched a two-and-a-half-year high, came a day after election results of five state assemblies were announced.
The government had freed petrol price from government control in June but the state-owned oil firms had not raised prices on an 'informal' dictate from the oil ministry.
Foods that make you feel full : without making you fat :
Citrus Fruits:
Fruits such as grapefruit, lemon, sweet lime, papaya, guava and tomatoes are rich in Vitamin C and fibre. Vitamin C helps the body process fat faster and also stimulates the amino acid known as carnitine — carnitine speeds up the body's fat-burning capacity.
Green Vegetables:
Spinach, asparagus and broccoli have a high thermic effect on the body and a low calorie density.
Popcorn:
Popcorn is rich in fibre and low on calories. Also, since eating it keeps our mouth busy for a longer time, the satiety levels are high.
Oatmeal:
Oatmeal is a complex carbohydrate which takes longer to digest — hence it releases energy slowly, keeping you feeling full for longer.
Almond and Walnuts:
Raw, unsalted nuts, especially almonds and walnuts, provide essential roughage, protein, fat, minerals and micronutrients.
Low-Fat Dairy Products:
Skimmed milk, low fat cheese and yoghurt are a good source of calcium, which helps break down fat cells.
Beans:
Beans are high in fibre and a good source of protein. They also take longer to digest, making you feel full for a longer time.
Whole grains:
Jowar, bajra and ragi contain complex carbohydrates, which release glucose slowly when broken down during digestion.
Apples:
High water content and ample fibre is the reason why you feel full after eating an apple
