Movie Review
8x10 Tasveer is a story of Jai, a young man in his 30's, who has a supernatural gift.

His father, Jatin, though, feels very strongly that his son is wasting his life away instead of managing the vast business empire he has created and this leads to a complete breakdown of relationship between the two. Jai's wife Sheela is grudgingly supportive of her husband but has a 'real' job and is the actual bread- winner of the family.

Sometime later, Jatin is killed in a boating accident under mysterious circumstances and Jai feels wretched about losing his father and the times that could've been shared. He accidentally stumbles upon the last photograph taken of the entire group of friends and family on the boat, minutes before the accident and while being consumed with grief and curiosity, he starts to investigate by undertaking the dangerous experience. He eventually unravels the mystery and in a nail biting finish comes up with a startling answer. The movie takes clues from "buterfly effect".

Jai realizes that he has a twin brother whom the family lost during their childhood; Twin brother Jeet is angry with the family and he takes revenege and kills everyone. Aayesha Takia helps him in the revenge.

Zaheer Figures will Whitewash Kiwi's in Test

India's Fast Bowler Zaheer Khan is a Hero of the 3rd test between the India & Kiwi's Who Fall Five Wicket in an Innings. Zaheer's first spell read 8-2-18-2, and after a brief break, which included the lunch interval, he was back to wreck more havoc. Zaheer returned figures of 5-65.




Zaheer was the architect of the New Zealand collapse, but Harbhajan bowled superbly and deserved his success. Bowling at a slower pace than he normally does, he got the ball to drift, grip, and spin in an unchanged spell that began just before lunch and didn't end till the New Zealand innings was wrapped up. James Franklin, who continues to bat above Brendon McCullum for reasons unknown, was his second victim, sweeping tamely to square leg, while McCullum, who was left to play with the tail for much of his innings, edged a cut to MS Dhoni, who marked his return to the team with six catches, a record for an Indian wicketkeeper. That the loudest cheers from New Zealand supporters probably came when Chris Martin - who had scored two runs in his 11 previous Test innings - lofted Harbhajan straight down the ground for four summed up the kind of day they had. The Indians, who are eyeing their 100th Test win, won't be complaining.

Riding on Zaheer's 5-wicket haul, India wiped off Kiwi batting order for 197 and batted in their 2nd innings to score 51 at the loss of 1 wicket on Day 2 of the final Test. New Zealand pacer Chris Martin got the breakthrough for his side to send back Virender Sehwag (12).

India dominated Day 2 to sweep all 10 Kiwi wickets that led to their 2nd innings batting in the last hour of the game. Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag opened the innings to extend their lead of 182 runs. But Sehwag's reckless display with the bat, yet again, saw him going back to pavilion in the second over. He lobbed at first slip Taylor off Martin, who made no mistake in getting the ferocious player out of the 22 yards.

Rahul Dravid (9*) joined Gambhir (28*), who looked observant of the windy weather. Both batted till the end to score 51/1 by the end of the day. They will resume batting on Day 3.

D Company Targeted Varun Gandhi, BJP

Manglore 3rd April The arrested, include Rashid Malbari alias 'Double' (38), Sahil Ismail Sheik (23), both from Thane in Maharashtra, Sayaf T A (25), a student from Kasargod in Kerala, Mohammad Hashin (28), driver of the car from Kasargod and Sahib Ibrahim (27), a resident of Kaup Padu in Udupi district of Karnataka.

Karnataka home minister VS Acharya had said on Thursday that Varun Gandhi, BJP candidate from Pilibhit Lok Sabha constituency, was on the hit-list of All.






Reports said Rashid, who had been atlarge for nearly 13 years, was sent by Shakeel to eliminate right-wing leader and Sree Rama Sena Chief Pramod Muthalik and BJP youth leader Varun Gandhi, both of whom had given hate speeches against a minority community recently. This was revealed after a cell phone call from Chhota Shakeel was intercepted by the IB officials.

"The nexus appears to be too far-fetched as it was practically impossible for the gangster to make it all the way from Mangalore to Pilibhit in less than 12 hours" said sources from IB.

Intelligence officials admitted they had received inputs about threats to important leaders during the Lok Sabha elections but there was "nothing in particular on Varun Gandhi".

Mr Hosur said if police was able to take the arrested into their custody they would be quizzed about their plans. ''We have some clue after we questioned them on Monday before they were produced in the court. We are hoping that the court will give custody of the five to us,'' Sources said once they were given police custody sleuths from Mumbai and Intelligence Bureau would be arriving in the city to interrogate them.

2009 Tata Nano - First Drive Best Review

Tata Nano Worlds cheapest car aims to bring vehicle ownership to the masses. It looks fabulous. Love at first sight, that’s what Tata Motors set out to do (no, really) and Justin Novak, formerly of the I.D.E.A design house and now with Triton design in Italy (along with most of the old I.D.E.A crew that worked on all of Tata Motor’s designs), has penned what will definitely go down in time as a classic.



Much like the Beetle and Fiat 500 the Nano is inherently right, a small car of such appealing lines and a happy countenance that no matter what your financial ability you will love it. This has the ability to become the ultimate classless vehicle; something that will appeal to rich, middle class and poor folk alike – and which could spawn a whole range of cool T-shirts and stuff! Until it becomes a common sight clogging up our roads (and it will, but that’s not Tata Motors’ fault now, is it?) this will turn more heads than Bipasha Basu streaking across the road.

Interiors are as impressive.
Okay it is all very simple and functional but in such a small car having the speedo in the centre actually improves aesthetics. And it has the cutest warning light in the world, a little yellow outline of the Nano with a spanner running across it – beautiful! The standard Nano gets rexine seats and a single spoke steering but the deluxe version we spent a day in has full fabric seats (rather good looking with that hole in the headrest much like a rally cars!), a three-spoke steering wheel with a rim in soft-touch plastics, two-tone grey dash with very good fit and finish and air-conditioning too. The air-con uses a 60cc compressor but delivers enough cooling power to cool the voluminous interiors quickly.

Fit and finish, and I kid you not, is very good. Of course having only a few components means there’s not many panel gap issues to deal with but on that front it actually feels better put together than the Indica Vista. Having the speedo is the centre obviously means this dash can be used in left and right hand markets. The central console is flanked by a scooped dash which can hold nick-knacks and everything has rounded edges to make it safer in a crash. There is no glove box but there are two cup holders and map pockets in the doors.

The doors are ultra-light (and of course feel flimsy) and have an integrated armrest, door pull and coin holder. It uses a combination of rexine and fabric and at the front there are power windows on the deluxe version while the rear gets manual wind down windows. The deluxe also gets central locking.

NATO celebrates its 60th anniversary

Nato's new doctrine appears to sit uneasily with its core defensive purpose. Even getting to age 60 may have been a challenge. But there are more ahead. Nato's "out of area" doctrine allowed it to send troops to Afghanistan.....



As NATO celebrates its 60th anniversary, it is in greater demand than ever before.

The Alliance is keeping the peace in Kosovo, it is engaged in both stabilisation tasks and combat operations in Afghanistan, runs an anti-terrorist naval operation in the Mediterranean, assists defence reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina, trains Iraqi security forces, and provides support to the African Union.

NATO is at the heart of a vast and expanding network of partnerships with countries from across the globe and is developing closer cooperation with key civilian institutions. And the Alliance’s enlargement process remains a strong incentive for aspirant countries to get their house in order.

NATO enters its seventh decade, it needs to overcome a series of challenges that are more difficult and complex than anything it has ever faced before.

In short, at age 60, NATO has become such an indispensable part of the international security environment that it is hard to imagine that it ever could have been otherwise. And yet it was. The initial duration of the 1949 Washington Treaty was modestly set at 20 years, by which time, it was assumed, the post-war recovery of Western Europe would have been completed and the transatlantic defence pact become obsolete.

Few of the people who were present at NATO’s creation would have dared to hope that this Alliance would not only outlast the Cold War conditions that brought it into being, but indeed thrive in a radically different security environment.

The reason why NATO turned from a temporary project into a permanent one is not difficult to fathom. It is because the logic of transatlantic security cooperation is timeless. The need for Europe and North America to tackle security challenges together remains as pressing today as it was 60 years ago.

So does the need for a transatlantic institutional framework which allows for political consultation, joint decisions, and common action. Only NATO can provide this framework.

Reliance Jumps Sensex to 10,348

Reliance Industries says that the Oil is a Major Boost for the Indian Countries. Reliance Industries has started pumping natural gas from a massive deep-sea field in the Bay of Bengal off India's eastern coast.



The government has started receiving its share of profit from Reliance Industries (RIL)-operated D-6 block in the Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin. It has booked $218,960 as its first profit share for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, by selling crude oil produced from the block, a petroleum ministry official said. The block started producing natural gas recently. The profit was generated from the sale of crude oil produced from the block beginning mid-September at an average price of $50.80 a barrel, said the official who didn’t wish to be named.

In the quarter ended December 31, 2008, Reliance Industries (RIL) earned $21,896,016 by selling crude from MA oil field in KG-D6 block. As per the contract between the government and RIL, the contractor was entitled to keep 90% of the sum towards recovering huge investments made by it in developing the field. The balance amount was distributed between the contractor (RIL) and the owner (the government) in a mutually-agreed proportion.

The official said that RIL has spent $6.26 billion in developing the KG basin block. The government has approved $8.84-billion expenditure to produce 80 million standard cubic meters per day (mmscmd) of natural gas from the block. This also includes creation of an excess infrastructure capacity for producing 120 mmscmd of natural gas from the field. An email query to RIL in this regard went unanswered.

The directorate general of hydrocarbons — the technical adviser for upstream activities in the petroleum ministry — didn’t confirm or deny the figures. As per a DGH figure, the contractor had spent $4.65 billion for developing oil and gas fields up to March 31, 2008.

According to an estimate by the petroleum ministry, the field is expected to generate a revenue of $42 billion over the life of the field, which is 11 years. The government is expected to earn $14 billion from the D-6 block. “However, the figure is based on assumptions. It is calculated by keeping gas price at $4.20 per million British thermal unit (MBTU) which is dependent on a formula with variables,” the official said.

Maruti to phase out M800, Omni by 2015-16

New Delhi, April 01: Maruti 800 - the small car that revolutionised personal transport in modern India - will take a bow starting next year and be phased out by 2016, when the country is expected to embrace new emission norms, Maruti Suzuki India said Wednesday.

Along with the M800, MSI will also be phasing out its second oldest model, the utility van Omni. In the initial phase, the two models will be done away with in 11 cities from next year, where the Bharat Stage-IV emission norms (which is equivalent to Euro-IV norms) will become applicable.



"Once Euro-IV emission norms is applied across the country, which is likely to happen around 2015-16, then M800 and Omni may not be a saleable product. We will have to eventually phase (them) out then," MSI Chairman R C Bhargava told.

The company would not upgrade the engines of these two models to meet better emission standards, he said while also ruling out their replacements.

"We regularly introduce new models in the market, but at present there is no plan to bring out substitutes for these two cars," he added.

Famous Album “Poker Face” performed by Lady Gaga at the American Idol

Lady Gaga in a Liberace-ish piano filled with bubbles pounds out "Poker Face." Not my cup of tea at all, the song is very herky Jerky so is she. Like her backup dancers, however, they are wild and fun.




The second part is far more interesting than the opening. I can totally see Blake Lewis makes this song, he was always good to walk that line between unique and strange. The Lady just comes across as strange to me.

Okay, I'm not even sure what to say about Lady Gaga's pinked-out performance Poker Face. Maybe it's what the judges hoped Nick Mitchell could lead to the show. Vocally, she's Megan Joy with more experience. Presentation-wise, she is absolutely Adam Lambert. And I find it hard to see Simon ever recommend this as a song choice. Three judges are on their feet applauding. But not Simon. And I think it is all the comments we need that.

"As the smoke clears," Ryan asks Simon how many of the bottom three are worth saving. "One." "Just one?" Ryan asked. "Just one."
