"It was not love at first sight for them but it lasted till the cricket legend passed away yesterday. It all started in 1965 when leading Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore met the sauve captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi at a common friend’s party.

But it was not easy for Tiger to win his lady love’s heart so he gifted her a refrigerator to win her heart.

But finally it was roses that did the trick. ”She batted for four years,” Pataudi declared in several interviews later."

Delhi blast: Lawyer's robe would have saved student's life - The Times of India:
NEW DELHI: In his haste to reach the high court on Wednesday morning, law student Amanpreet Singh Jolly, 21, left his black robe behind. The mistake caught him his life, as security guards made him queue up for an entry pass among the litigants outside gate no. 5, minutes before the bomb went off.

Aman, a law student at Ghaziabad's INE College, was interning under lawyer SP Yadav at the high court. "Aman was an extremely bright boy. He had been doing quite well at college and did not have to go to court everyday. It was sheer chance that he went to the court on Wednesday, and without his robe at that. Had he remembered to take it, he would have directly walked inside," said his uncle Rana.

Aman's father, cousins and several uncles stood outside RML Hospital's operating theatre for several hours before his father Manmohan Singh was called inside to identify his body. Shortly before this, they had experienced relief for a few minutes on not finding his body in the common area on the ground floor, where other bodies were kept for identification. But when Manmohan identified his son's body inside the OT, the family members were immersed in grief. Aman's father is a builder and they lived in a joint family on Jail Road in Janakpuri. He was the second of three brothers.

"We received a call from the hospital saying that he was injured, so obviously he died in the hospital. His condition was reported quite critical. Aman's parents are in a bad shape and his mother, especially, has not stopped crying. She keeps breaking down every few minutes," said his uncle Gurmeet.

Anna Hazare arrested, starts fast; Govt slammed by opposition, public

2011-08-16T01:47:00.000-07:00

Kisan Anna Hazare

New Delhi: Anna Hazare is under arrest and has been produced before a magistrate. The police action foiled his plan to fast at Delhi's Jai Prakash Narain Park, but the 74-year-old has not eaten or even had water since early morning.

Mr Hazare's "preventive arrest" came after three hours of his being under "preventive detention." The Opposition has slammed the government, saying it is Emergency again. The government says there is nothing illegal about it, but in a very high-level huddle, senior ministers Pranab Mukherjee and P Chidambaram met Rahul Gandhi a little after noon on Tuesday.

At 7.30 am on Tuesday morning, minutes before Mr Hazare was to set out for his fast against corruption, about a dozen policemen in plain clothes detained him at Supreme Enclave in Delhi's Mayur Vihar, where he was staying. They tried to whisk him away in a white Innova car, but hundreds of angry protesters ensured that the car could barely move for over an hour.

Mr Hazare, with several of his key aides who are now also under arrest, was taken to the Delhi Police Mess near Oberoi Maiden in north Delhi and was produced before a special executive magistrate there.

Under attack from all quarters, the government has justified the police action on Anna. Union Home Secretary RK Singh said he was detained because he said he would defy prohibitory orders. Senior Minister Ambika Soni said the arrest was not unconstitutional and that Mr Hazare could have waited till Parliament was not in session to protest.

Parliament opened to chaos on Tuesday. The BJP gave a notice for suspension of Question Hour to discuss the Anna Hazare issue. The government said it was ready for a discussion after Question Hour, at noon. There is no meeting ground - the Rajya Sabha was adjourned till noon, the Lok Sabha at first till 11.30 am and then till noon. Home Minister P Chidambaram has offered to make a statement in Parliament. The Opposition says it will settle for nothing less than a statement from the Prime Minister.

Anticipating arrest, Anna had recorded an appeal to people to come forward for what he called the "second freedom struggle" in peaceful protest and said a second line of leaders would continue to lead the movement. But on Tuesday morning, this second line and core members of Team Anna - Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Kiran Bedi- were detained too and taken to the police mess. Eminent lawyer Shanti Bhushan was detained at Rajghat.

A third line of crusading leaders went underground to gather support using mobile phones and social media and surfaced a little before noon to decry Mr Hazare's arrest and to exhort people to come out in large numbers in protest. In Mumbai supporters in big numbers are courting arrest, in Bangalore, they are lining up to join the India Against Corruption movement. There is massive support in Kolkata too. In Chennai, Mahatama Gandhi's personal secretary Kalyanam is among about 300 people on hunger strike; 30 people have courted arrest. There are protests in Lucknow too.

In the capital, the supporters that followed Anna's car as he was being taken away vowed they would move to Rajghat, where Anna was to have gone before setting out for JP Park where he planned to fast. Sources say about 3,000 Delhi University students are expected to assemble at Rajghat too. As they heard of the detention, many office-goers said they were not attending work and would join the protest.

Delhi Police has imposed Section 144 at several places in the Capital, including central Delhi, JP Park, Rajghat and Dilli Gate. At Rajghat, the police is not allowing people to gather in large numbers. Any large groups are being disbanded, put in buses and taken away to Chhatrasal Stadium in Model Town, north Delhi.

At JP Park, where Anna was to sit on fast, protesters are pouring in ready to court arrest. Activist-lawyer Prashant Bhushan said youth from Delhi University would court arrest at 12.30 outside the Chhatrasal stadium. And that at 4pm today, protesters would march from the Pragati Maidan metro station to JP Park. He also announced that at 4 pm on Wednesday, a big march would be organised from India Gate to Parliament House. He appealed to all people to join the march and asked government employees to take mass leave for a day.

Team Anna has asked people to wear black bands and to use social media and SMSes to help gather more people.

Who is Anna Hazare ?
Kisan Baburao Hazare pronunciation (help·info)(Marathi: किसन बाबुराव हजारे) (born 15 June 1937), popularly known as Anna Hazare pronunciation (help·info)(Marathi: अण्णा हजारे), is an Indian social activist and anarcho-pacifist who is especially recognised for his contribution to the development and structuring of Ralegan Siddhi, a village in Parner taluka of Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra, India and his efforts for establishing it as a model village, for which he was awarded the Padma Bhushan—the third-highest civilian award—by the government of India in 1992.

After leading a number of nonviolent protests in Maharashtra state against corruption, Hazare started a fast unto death on 5 April 2011 to exert pressure on the government of India to enact a strong anti-corruption act as envisaged in the Jan Lokpal Bill, a law to establish a Lokpal (ombudsman) with the power to deal with corruption in public offices. The fast led to nationwide protests in support of Hazare. The fast ended on 9 April 2011, the day after all of Hazare's demands were agreed by the government of India. The government issued a gazette notification on the formation of a joint committee (of government and civil society representatives) to draft an effective Lokpal Bill.

According to the July 2011 findings of a CNN-IBN- Hindustan Times Opinion poll, the Indian public prefers Anna Hazare to the Government of India to tackle corruption, and also see him as more trustworthy than the government. According to an Indian daily English newspaper Daily News and Analysis’s annual list of top 50 most influential people for 2011, Anna Hazare is the most influential person in Mumbai.

David Beckham's International Career Has Come to an End !!!

2011-08-15T04:08:00.000-07:00

Fabio Capello made the announcement that David Beckham’s international career has come to an end, but he wants David to get one last run in before it’s over. David Beckham has been playing for the England National Soccer Team for more than 10 years. He’s not only been a great player on the pitch, but he’s been an icon for the team.

Beckham recently became the leader for the most international soccer games played by any player in England’s history. He’s represented the soccer team in 115 games. This number would have been higher if he wasn’t hurt before the 2010 World Cup, which was upsetting for all supporters.

Capello wants to see Beckham say his farewell in a final match at Wembley Stadium. If there’s anywhere it should be England’s home field is the perfect setting. The public knows of Capello’s plan, but they also have certainly been informed that Capello won’t take Beckham for any competitive matches moving forward.

We all know that David’s career is coming to an end. He’s 35 and as much as England doesn’t want to let him go, it’s time they move on. Capello made it clear that these older guys aren’t the answer. England hasn’t done anything spectacular with them anyway, so it’s time for them to find a new answer.

Capello also made it clear that he hasn’t talked with Beckham regarding this matter. I’m confident they’ve had some sort of discussion regarding his future, so I can’t imagine Beckham will be surprised. England has to make some changes and can’t live in the past anymore.

Beckham’s agent came back with a response to Capello’s statements that basically said after David’s farewell game, it’s over. His agent made it clear that David is not ready to retire and is very serious about playing international matches if he’s fit.

Justin Bieber - How it all Started for Pop Star

2011-08-15T03:59:00.000-07:00

Justin Drew Bieber is a pop star, singer and musician whose dramatically sudden popularity has rocketed him into international stardom. He was born in 1994 on March 1st and at the time of this writing is only sixteen years old. A mere two years ago he was an unknown living a normal teenage boy’s life at home with his single mother Pattie Mallette in Stratford Ontario Canada.

When Justin Bieber’s mother first became aware of his musical abilities she hoped he would become a Christian rock star. He had taught himself how to play guitar and keyboard and soon was playing for small change on the streets of his small Canadian hometown. In his first summer of performing he earned three thousand dollars in tips. He used this new-found source of income to take his mom with him for a visit to Disneyland. It was a nice sum of money for a poor fourteen year old kid but it was nothing compared to the fame and fortune which would soon be literally knocking on his door.

His mother Pattie had taken some videos of him performing at amateur contests and like any proud mom might do, posted them to YouTube for her friends and family to view. While these started to gain some views from outside of their circle of acquaintances they were literally stumbled on by a man who would change Justin Bieber’s life forever.

On July 2009, while still recording his debut album, Bieber’s single, “One Time” was released in the radio. After merely a week, the song charted within the top 30 in over ten countries and was a certified Platinum in Canada and the US, and Gold in Australia and New Zealand. Before fall ends, on November 17, 2009, his debut album My World was released.

But for Justin the hard work was just beginning. A relentless and grueling schedule of tours, appearances and advanced musical and performance training soon followed. The young man was up to the challenge. He refined his skills and public persona.

Justin Bieber has achieved in a short span of 16 years. And doesn’t look like he is slowing down either. Apart from lending his voice for the “We are the World” remake , he has hosted the Grammys, won at the AMA , performed for the president of USA, released his own movie, plenty of product launches like the Justin Bieber doll and of course, his music and concerts.

David Haye in the Championship

2011-08-15T03:48:00.000-07:00

David Haye has taken the boxing world by storm over the past few years. The brash British fighter is a two-division champion and is one of the most talented fighters in any weight class. In addition to his great skills, and his already formidable career, he’s also known for his great athleticism, physique and his power.

Haye began boxing professionally in 2002 as a cruiserweight, at the young age of 22. He progressed through the ranks quickly, although there was a setback when he lost to Carl Thompson in 2004. He returned to the ring just three months later, however, and by the end of 2005, David Haye had become the European cruiserweight champion. After that, he bested undefeated Giacobbe Fragomeni, among other fighters, and in 2007 he got a shot at the world championship title, against Jean Marc Mormeck.

In just his second heavyweight fight, he won a world championship at that class by defeating Nikolay Valuev. Since, he has defended the title on several occasions, and it seems like his dream of fighting a Klitschko and becoming the recognized heavyweight champion is finally within reach.

Haye is a supremely gifted athlete, but none of what he has accomplished would have been possible without putting in the hard work and training at the gym, and without utilizing the right training equipment and gear to help him along the way. At first, he had to cut weight to meet the cruiserweight limit of 200 lbs, and this presents its own challenges. It puts an even higher premium on training long and hard, and focusing on sweating down, as opposed to being able to complete more strength training, eat the right kinds of foods, and focus on tactics.

Now he didn’t need to cut weight, but he did have to add significant muscle and strength while retaining his speed and staying lean. Although it looks like Haye could have been a great bodybuilder, boxing isn’t just about lifting weights and developing a sculpted physique. Instead, in order to become champion, Haye had to train rigorously, using bodyweight exercises and traditional boxing equipment such as pull-up bars and medicine balls to create his muscle and explosive body strength.

David Haye has said he wants to retire at a relatively young age, so it remains to be seen how many more times we’ll get to see him fight, and what else he will accomplish. But being a two-division champion isn’t a bad start. For Haye, from cruiserweight up to heavyweight.

Incredible Cars – Car Stunts (Part 2)

2011-08-15T03:17:00.000-07:00

In the first article we took a closer look at the car stunts and chases from The Blues Brothers, The French Connection, Bullitt and the very famous AMC Hornet “barrel roll” sequence from The Man With The Golden Gun. Those four sequences are certainly standouts when looking at the best film car stunts of all time, some may say that the James Bond barrel roll stunt is perhaps the greatest of all, and it may very well be, but there are many, many more exciting sequences that deserve mention when discussing the top grade famous movie car stunts.

Ronin was released in 1998 and had a nice amount of pre-release buzz due to the fact that it was being directed by John Frankenheimer and would feature a script written by David Mamet. Combining those two with a cast featuring Robert DeNiro, Jean Reno, Stellan Skarsgard and Sean Bean was all but ensuring that Ronin would be a must see.

The chase sequence in question happens at the end of the movie and takes place in Paris. Over 300 stunt drivers were employed to handle this massive sequence that would stretch all over Paris and would make use of countless scenic locations as well as some of the tunnel systems (“Paris has a lot of tunnels,” Frankenheimer commented. “That’s part of the thing about the city I wanted people to see. A crash in a tunnel in Paris is about as likely as someone having a crash on a freeway here [the US]. It happens all the time.”). Director John Frankenheimer is known for his car work and this film is no exception, if anything, it sufficiently upped the ante on any car chases to follow it due to its intensity and realism. Frankenheimer himself actually rode along for much of the filming and insisted that it all be done with real cars and people as opposed to using and cgi effects.

Adding to the authenticity, most of the actors in the film actually appear behind the wheel in close ups and drive bys, stuntmen were used for all of the numerous crashes. Each vehicle had its sound re-recorded to add to the realism and there was no score used over top of the chase sequence. Over 2000 extras were used for the final chase at the Paris Zenith. While this sequence is best viewed on the big screen, it retains all of its punch when viewed in a home theater setting (*turn up the sound if you’re seeing it at home!).

The Road Warrior is regarded by many fans as some of Mel Gibson’s best work, his character Max Rockatansky is very much an update on the “man with no name” type of loners that were defined by Clint Eastwood in the old Sergio Leone westerns. In many regards, The Road Warrior follows the same narrative as many westerns do, but there is one major difference in that there are no horses since it is a post-apocalyptic setting; instead there are cars.

The chase sequence at the end of the movie is amazing – the centerpieces of the sequence being a 1970s Mack R-600. As stated on Wikipedia, “The Mack has a massive cowcatcher mounted on the front to protect the vehicle from crash impacts, armored plates welded in front of the radiator (with air slits for cooling ventilation), and armored cages around the wheels.

The trailer is protected with fortified, spike-encrusted turrets and barbed wire strung up along the sides of the tanker”. Other cars include: 1974 ZG Fairlane, a Holden Monaro, Ford XA Falcon, a Valiant VH coupe; a VW Kombi; a Ford Landau; and many Valiant Chargers

Hit Sensations From The Nineties

2011-08-15T02:58:00.000-07:00

My family love Nineties all music, These are formally known as one hit wonders and no one can ever remember the bands names only the title of the hit songs, for obvious reasons.

Remember the song Breakfast At Tiffany’s? People went crazy over that song for months, as it sat near the top of the charts. Can you remember the name of this band?

I wouldn’t be surprised if you couldn’t, becauuse they never neared the success of this hit anytime after. Their name was Deep Blue Something, and they are one of the quintessential 1990s one hit wonders.

Try another one, “The Way” which was a hit during the late 90′s and loved by many. This one actually still gets played even today but the band never managed to make another song as good at that one.

The Rembrandts, they are my third temporary sensation to make the list. Their hit song is played and listened to every day and many people wouldn’t even be able to put the name of the band to the hit song.

Their hit song, I’ll Be There For You, was so popular and so catchy that the hit TV show Friends decided to use it as their theme song. This band also faded into obscurity shortly after the success of this hit.

But the questions is, who has helped produced the one hit sensations list for the 2000′s? That one is coming soon.

Inspirational Motivational Speakers: Mary Alice Hill

2011-08-15T02:51:00.000-07:00

Mary Alice Hill first began her involvement with sports as a track and field athlete who has been trained for the Olympics before she made it as a well known motivational speaker. She became a guide to other women who also wanted to train for the said sport as their coach. Her coaching career gave way to the Olympic victory for four athletes and a record for the team. Hill then set off to continue changing the role of women in sports when she accepted the position of Director of Women’s Athletics offered at the Colorado State University.

Being an athletic trainer not only requires knowledge in the sport chosen but a strong character. During Hill’s fight for women equality, she has shown an intense passion towards this cause even standing up courageously in a case. With this and her wise judgment all throughout her career, she became the most respectable woman figure to have redefined women’s equal right in sports.

To be even considered a chance much less offered the job which was what happened with Hill and Colorado State University was an achievement during that time. The position entailed overtaking huge responsibilities not only to handle sports and physical activities of the whole campus but training and encouragement to the university team. It also required excellent coaching experience for several years.

There are as much right for women to enjoy baseball, soccer and any other sports as men would. Sports is not just a form of entertainment but a way to get in touch with one’s culture or represent one’s country. It has become such an essential part of people’s lives even to women. This is why it is important to have women stand up just as Hill did to let others become aware of the impact of gender inequality. Fortunately for women all over the world, this gap between men and women is continually dwindling thanks to actions by people such as that of Hill.

Best Way To Upgrade Your Look

2011-08-15T02:44:00.000-07:00

Movie stars are a paradigm of fashion and elegance. They represent the beauty and smartness. Their clothes are expensive and they seem to be floating instead of walking. What would happen if I tell you that you can dress like a celebrity without spending a fortune?

Some tips will help you to look like a Hollywood star with no need to break you. Wear big accessories. Big handbags and bangles are ideal to look like a star. Buy one-piece clothes that allow you to mix the pieces and look different and fresh every day. If you buy full outfits your chances will get smaller.

Unfortunately, many people think that wearing the latest trends in fashion makes you look like a movie star. They are completely wrong. Don’t waste money on fashionable clothes if they don’t fit you perfectly. In fact, most of the popular stars try to keep their looks as traditional as possible. You need to be well-dressed but comfortable.

However, fashionable accessories can make you look stylish and trendy. So, you don’t need to spend money buying the latest trends in clothes. Indeed, many super stars wear simple clothes that make them look amazing. For example, some jeans, with high boots, a plain t-shirt and a scarf are enough to make you look cool.

You can find clothing and accessories that may look the same as the ones movie stars wear but at much lower costs. Buying imitations inspired by the style of the original designs, but made with less details and cheaper materials is a great option.

A final advice: try to look perfect. Pay attention to your nails, your skin and teeth. It is very recommendable to spend a day at the spa. This will be great to provide the attention your body deserves. A whole day at the spa can help you to feel more self-confident and comfortable with yourself.
