TV/MoviesRe: BOLLYWOOD Club 4u by BeingAkorede(op): 5:34pm On Dec 20, 2013
Sahir grows up to channel all his energies into avenging his father’s death and bringing down the Western Bank of Chicago, headed by a Mr Anderson who acts more like a mafia don than the head of a big bank. Sahir leaves behind a signature at the site of his heist – a phrase in Hindi (on the wall of an American bank?) and a clown mask. Enter Jai and his sidekick Ali (Uday Chopra) . After a long intro scene, the pair is exported from Mumbai to Chicago in order to help the local police crack the case.
The ensuing cat and mouse game shows the Chicago
police to be most inept and that Western Bank of Chicago
clearly needs better security systems!

Sahir’s second modus operandi (MO) is reinstating The Great Indian Circus to its former glory. Jai’s MO is flushing the joker out into the open. Jai and Sahir are engaged in a battle of wits and sleight of hand that only one can win. There are unmistakable shades of Hollywood films like ‘Prestige’ and ‘Now You See Me’, (and even a rip off action scene from the recent remake Zanjeer) ! But there isn’t enough polish to pull off the biggest illusion of all.

DHOOM:3 REVIEW

The director of Tashan, Vijay Krishna Acharya , writes and
directs this cops and robbers drama, Dhoom 3 , headlining
Aamir Khan as Sahir the clown, the latest adversary revving into ACP Jai Dixit’s (Abhishek Bachchan) crosshairs.

Sahir’s heart and soul belong to The Great Indian Circus
– a Roman columned grand stone building in Chicago. You wonder, rather than default on a bank loan, why didn’t Sahir’s father (Jackie Shroff) give up the large building and move his show to more modest premises? It’s supposed to be circa 1990, but the costumes and production design make it look more like 1960!

CelebritiesRe: Shah Ruh Khan Day-to-Day by BeingAkorede(op): 9:49pm On Dec 19, 2013
Shah Rukh Khan , the face of Indian cinema for the world, the
Badshah of Bollywood, the king of love, and much more, has
recently been awarded by the President of India, at the
Presidential Residence (Rashtrapati Bhavan) in New Delhi.

Shah Rukh Khan is among the 25 living Global Indian legends .
The world learns romance from his movies, a girl somewhere
in Germany tells her boyfriend to love her like Shah Rukh Khan
does, his photos are sold with Gods and Goddesses to
international tourists in Varanasi, his birthday is known as the
“Day of love”, and it becomes a chaotic situation outside his
palatial residence Mannat on this day – that is Shah Rukh
Khan’s magic.

Wherever he goes, there is a beeline of fans to see him. When
he walked the red carpet at the Berlinale, organizers were
shocked to see the fanatic gathering of crowd. And be it any
corner of the world – he has fans. Shah Rukh Khan is truly a
legend, and the story will be told by many for centuries to
come. The foundation of this connection is made with love,
and nothing can shake it, or break it.

It worked wonders!
The grown ups began thinking that I was a deeply philosophical little boy. This gained me some positive attention while I was actually just contemplating sibling strategy (like how to overhear the girlie talk my sister shared with her friends in her room).

I learnt two important life lessons very early
1. Mystery is a clever psychological device; an excellent camouflage for all sorts of idiosyncrasies. It is most useful if wanting to fend off annoying conversation. Better still, if attempting to acquire an enigmatic aura or generally throwing your weight around.

2. If life were revelatory and bare, it would be deathly boring. So a little mystery is essential to a compelling life.

Thereon I decided that device or not, looking at life in terms of mysteries was a far better approach to it than taking it merely for what it appeared to be saying to me on the surface. I began to search for stories in everything and in doing so I began also, to understand the magical world of story telling that I later came to inhabit professionally.

Mystery has a knack of building upon itself. It begins with wonder and intrigue. The human mind is impatient with intrigue. It’s need to resolve, understand and simplify arises.

Hypotheses are developed, and theories thought up in an attempt to explain the inexplicable. But explanations have a curious twist. Invariably they read the myths of life at particular levels leaving other depths unresolved. This allows for new stories to come forth and lend themselves to exploration. Mysteries abound where we most seek answers and answers lead to new questions in a cyclical process. You figure one thing out and another pops up on top of it. Let me explain this revelation with a few of the mysteries that confound my intellect.

Hotel Californication
Like for example: Who designs the hyper space age hydraulic weapons masquerading as benign shower jets in glitzy hotel loos? The bathroom environs are enticing. Veined marbles, great smelling lotions in miniscule bottles, all lead the unsuspecting fellow craving a bath into their evil fold. As he strips and gingerly enters the shower cubicle he is confronted by a shower system that looks like, Mangal Yaan (the satellite being shot into Mars’ orbit, by India). All the knobs, handles, function keys, delete and escape command buttons, confound the simple man looking for a simple bath. He can’t figure out, which one is to be pulled, pushed, turned or pressed. He approaches the most friendly looking switch with caution and looks up in anticipation (because that’s where a shower normally begins its downward journey). Instead a murderous assault of water missiles is unleashed onto him from deviously placed nozzles that aim at odd places all over his body.

Before he knows it he is playing a paint-less version of Paintball with sneaky little water jets firing at him from all sides. If he is of a more agile disposition (like me) then he ends up doing the hitherto unknown Kathakali Rain dance.

There is an old quote stating something to the effect that… Marriage is like getting the mix of hot and cold water right in the shower. These space age showers might just give matrimony a whole new meaning!

And while we’re on mysteries I want to know why my whole body shouldn’t be immersed in the bathtub for a nice hot soak. If I push my chest inside, why do my knees stick out and vice versa. Is that too much to wonder? Should I shut up before Apple comes out with a user friendly version.

“Slide to immerse knees at the same time as chest.”

Having Kathakali danced his way through his shower, our valiant hotel guest may now turn his attention to the mystery of those infernal panels they affix on the bedside with little symbols indicating which button controls what light. One minute it’s Diwali, the next a throbbing nightclub, the third plunges him into abject darkness and the curtains will have suddenly splayed so that the entire universe might envelope him in its mysteriously morose stare.

I will not even venture into describing the furry shoeshine contraption they have lying in wait innocently beside the cupboard. It reminds me of a little grey monster from Monsters Inc. waiting to gobble you up feet first. All that will be left of the guest, is a shiny burp. Shudder.

And are you all with me on this one. The tightness with which they tuck the duvet into the grooves on the side of hotel beds. Snuggling into them is like getting into a pair of jeans two sizes too small. If you haven’t asphyxiated by morning, chances are you will end up having a massive case of ‘Toelio’, bent toes!

It’s a mystery why they can’t allow you to get into bed without warring with the Duvet Bin Laden.This is one reason you will never find me asking the house keeping in a hotel, to help me knot a tie around my neck!

Textesterone
Textually speaking, another modern mystery confronts us all today.

The ‘short hand’ typing for short messaging service and social media. Internet language or Netlingo as it is lovingly addressed.

It’s the language of the 21st century, they say. For 20 centuries, we barbaric humans have developed languages that will civilise us. Dictionaries that will enlighten us. Shakespeare’s sonnets that will make us fall in love (if we understood them, that is).

So I would like to know who had the brilliant idea that we need to condense and distort them into Netlingo? I’m not arguing about languages like Basic and Cobol that enhance the usage of machines in our lives and modernise us? I’m talking about the stuff that regresses us to our barbaric, grunting days.

So now we communicate in abbreviations. Short form. Text speak. Txt spk. They claim it facilitates communication.

I heard Martha Stewart analyse the current human posture in her programme, something like this.

Bent over a device, with no way of hearing any other sound except the skrillix music in our ears.

What is to become of us? Instead of speaking to each other, we will write using a nonsensical array of letters. Texting will become our only form of communication and if we do speak, will we speak as we read?

But what we will read, will be gibberish. BYBO…CYA..OMG…JSU…LOL…ROFL. When you read it, it will sound surprisingly like grunting and heaving sounds. The ones we made when we were apes. Will our highly developed senses then embark upon the discovery of language once again? But we already have more than the languages we need!!!

Doesn’t this make everyone wonder? Everyone except the rappers, I guess. They are ok with whatever abbreviation you use as long as you prefix or suffix it with F@#*.

But what’s even more mysterious to me is that people are now ‘Sexting’. Which means sending naked pictures on phones and the net and making out on the virtual plane instead of plain old Kashmiri rugs. Cyber6 it’s called. Cyber Sex to the uninitiated.

Does anybody understand the enormity of this?? Soon we’ll all be cyber6ing and we’ll forget how to procreate. We are slowly destroying mankind…one message at a time. Don Altman said, “The digital frontier is a nurturing place where verbs and nouns are not only born, but in fact bear off-springs.”

Yeah that’s very cool, but picture a world overrun with little verbs and nouns in pretty prams instead of the Farex babies we have sort of become so accustomed to.

A wonderful author who goes by the name of Josh Gondelman, has done an exercise on the net, of converting famous movie quotes into text speak. Some of the results will bear testimony to my outcry of disbelief at what is happening to us:

GONE WITH THE WIND
“Frankly my dear I don’t give a damn.”

Becomes….

Seriously my dear, WTF!!

FIGHT CLUB
First rule: “You do not talk about Fight Club”

Becomes…

1st rule: STFU

JERRY MCGUIRE
“You had me at hello”

Becomes..

You had me @ ’sup

I rest my case. There can’t be no great debate about it. Or should that be…no gr8 db8 abt tis.

Which brings me to the abiding mystery of why human beings need to complicate the simplest things in their endless endeavour to uncomplicate their own lives.

This also works in reverse: people get confounded by the camouflage of mysteriousness in a way that even the most mundane things become mystifying to them given the right context. Being a so-called superstar you end up surrounded by people who contextualise the silliest things into justifications for their own ideas of you.

If anyone else were to declare they never used soap to bathe with, it would create an insufferable stink, as a superstar, it just adds to the repertoire of legends being woven around you. “And he doesn’t even use soap” they’ll whisper in a revelatory tone (I don’t by the way, but I’ve been told I smell fantastic, and there is no mystery here, I just use a lot of cologne.)

I’ve seen people use mystery to make themselves look truly superior and far more interesting than they actually are. It works like a charm. Especially when they fall for it themselves!

There are those who begin to refer to themselves in the third person “He cannot wear these clothes in public” they’ll say, as you look around wondering which exhibitionist flasher exactly they’re referring to. Or then they’ll allude to their own body parts as if they belonged to a mysterious collective of body parts, “The arms were aching after like two hours of exercise bro.”

There’s another one they fancy, the one in which they mysteriously dissolve their own agency into public will, “The people want me to do this” they’ll proclaim expecting to be taken seriously. What people?! I wonder. I also wonder that if they took their head out their own caboose long enough, will they realise there is no one telling them to do anything.

It’s a mystery to me why it’s never enough to be human or ordinary or just plain strange. Why do we have to cloak ourselves in the farce of extraordinariness just because we (mystically?) succeeded where others failed before us.

But then everything is a mystery to me and I like it that way. That’s the way I have been brought up. It’s my uncle’s fault. All of it

Like which armrest of my seat in a theater belongs to me?

Ownership is a mystery.

Why must we pluck flowers instead of admiring their beauty?

Why set luminous gems into jewels?

Why trap birds in cages instead of watching them soar into the sky?

Why show off river fish in your tacky little aquarium when they could be swimming currents downstream?

Why try to change people we love and then fall out of love with them because they changed?

I believe that we spend too much of our lives trying to know and find explanations for things. Why do we have trouble accepting the unknown in our world? It might be nice to let things be sometimes. Relationships. Love. Nature. People.

Whether we know something or not, it actually does not make a difference in the larger scheme of things because however deep our knowledge might be, it is still immensely limited.

Someone has said, “Knowing, is often just a cover up. Ideas, concepts, theories or mere facts are delusion or disguises we use to hide our fear of the inexplicable. When something is accepted in its entireity as a mystery, it actually means we know it deeper and more intuitively. Somewhere within our souls we are in a mode of ‘the accepting form of knowledge’. It encompasses our being as a whole.”

It’s like magic. If you understand the way it is done, it gets reduced to a trick. Its important to let the magic be magical to enjoy it to its fullest.

Letting mystery be, requires courage and the security to live it without being afraid of the unknown.
Acceptance of mystery leads to faith in life itself without fear. Mystery allows us to have Faith and ‘feel’ our way through life instead of deconstructing it.

Like the Faith most of us have in God.

Ken Kesey puts this most aptly: “I am for mystery, not interpretive answers. The answer is never the answer. What’s really interesting is the mystery. If you seek mystery instead of the answer, you will always be seeking. I have never seen nobody really find the answer, but they think they have.

So they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.”

Or as Arthur Stanley explains it, “We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding that we must learn a great deal more about ‘and’.”

Though I am a Scorpio, I still believe that it is better to go through this life without finding an answer. Because the answer as Douglas Adams told us, could possibly be 42. And if 42 is the answer, wouldn’t that leave us a tad disappointed, to say the least.

PS: By the way, even though I believe in what I have written above, I still desperately want to know... Who let the dogs outhuh Who ?

Article 2: Shah Rukh Khan sheds some light on the mysteries behind Scorpions and Scorpios

I looked up Scorpios on the net and found that they are the cars Rohit Shetty gleefully sends flying into the air. On further research I arrived at Scorpio the sun sign. I found that being a Scorpio implies the following list of qualities: determination, fearlessness, sensuality, poise, loyalty, ambition, intuitiveness, a jealous and controlling nature, secretiveness, resentfulness, ruthlessness and a tendency towards mystery!

Much as I would like to pontificate on all these wonderful (or not so wonderful) traits, I (as a true blooded Scorpio) am supposed to possess, I think ‘mystery’ is the one that lends itself most to fifteen hundred words on a good November morning.

As a kid, I was an observer of people. I remember observing that a legendary uncle of mine would assume a morose, pondering posture now and then and stare deeply into the universe as if it held a great secret only he could decipher. “Interesting,” I thought, “it gives him an air of mystery, I wouldn’t mind being mysterious too” so I began to stare deeply into space and pretend I was morose now and then as well.

CelebritiesRe: Shah Ruh Khan's Column In DNA by BeingAkorede(op): 10:05am On Dec 15, 2013
Some years ago I was faced with the balancing act of weighing my scientific bent against superstition. One evening I got to know my spine had a prolapsed disc and I had to go under the knife. It’s a big surgery. It’s considered equivalent to a brain surgery (from which I might just have benefitted more!) because it involves the spinal cord.

As it happens, it also proved to be one of the grandest acts of equanimity I ended up engaging in.
Everybody began to foretell doom. They listed all that could go wrong. They said I could be paralysed or rendered voiceless. Thoughts raced in my own head as well. The doctors advised surgery as soon as possible.

I was as scared as anyone might be at the thought of their spine being tampered with so I gave a year to those who said they could cure my prolapse through the prolapse of medical science.

Let me make it clear that I am not trying to undermine people’s beliefs or superstitions. Different things work for different people. If you believe in something then it works for you. A recent study has proved that people who believe in superstition get the job done better than those who don’t, so who are we to question the world of the unknown and its unkown-ness.

To me it was just intriguing that there was such a wonderful variety of cures and treatments on offer for a serious injury like mine.

My family and friends all suggested different treatments ranging from acupuncture to oil made from the sting of a scorpion. I am proud to tell you that because of the deep desire to keep the ‘BALANCE’ (in caps because that’s the topic) of things unperturbed I tried most of them.

What follows is an account of some of my escapades and misadventures up to the final day of surgery. These are excerpts from my yet unpublished book and as you will read, you will realise there is no stretching or exaggeration of factual happenings. The names of the protagonists have been changed to maintain their privacy and mainly to prevent them from suing or physically assaulting me in the near future.

……The doctor that I went to for, what I will call ‘pin therapy’ is a wonderful doctor. He’s among the leading doctors for this therapy in the world. He also spoke three words of Hindi taught to him by other Indian clients (obviously he didn’t know the meaning of those words, otherwise he would never use them, unless abusing your mom and sister was a part of his therapy).

The thought of him sticking needles in my neck was scary. But I need not have worried. He didn’t want to put needles in my neck, instead he wanted to stick them in my private parts to fix my neck!

As you can imagine it was an extremely hurtful prospect. I was shaken to the core of my being (not to mention, below it).

He was from the Far East and we didn’t understand each other well. He kept repeating, “Take off your clothes, take off your clothes”. So, I took off my shirt, but it didn’t seem to suffice. He continued his chant regardless: ‘take off your clothes.”

Soon I was lying naked on his table and he had these big, big pins in his hands. The rest is too graphic to describe. It was the most humiliating and painful experience of my life.

Ordeal over, I came back marred by blue welts. The only thing that had changed was that now the pain was between my legs and not in my neck. I can tell you it distracted me enough to make me forget my original complaint. Though once I recovered from the onslaught of the pin-pricks, my neck pain resurfaced with a vengeance.

Now and then I think of the good doctor and my upbringing tugs at my conscience. I never thanked him. Maybe I should have sent him a note…in Hindi…just the three words that he had been taught!

……The ‘Energy Experts’ meanwhile, had decided that the reason for my cervical disc prolapse was the direction in which I slept.

So the position of my bed had to be changed. Change is good. Novelty is invigorating; it’s the spice of life. I like change. There were a few problems that came up though. My plasma TV was affixed to the wall keeping in mind the original position of my bed. Taking out those brackets from the wall would have meant re-building it. So the TV stayed where it was and the only way to can watch it was to somehow stand on my head. My bedside lamp shed its light on my bathroom slippers instead of the book that I read in bed. The bathroom door ended up where the TV should have been. Though I must admit, the six episodes of the slightly swaying bathroom door, seemed more interesting than some of the stuff we are subjected to on the idiot box.

The headrest hung inexplicably in mid air without a bed to support it. If I could levitate 10 inches off the ground I might have been able to rest my head on it.

My AC remote did nothing remotely anymore. It needed to be directed towards the fridge to get the AC on. I guess the rays would bounce off the shiny surface and find their way to the infra red sensor on the AC. Strangely the rays did not follow the same reverse path and to switch the damn thing off, I’d need to swing to the bottom of the bed and point in random directions till I’d hear the AC stop breathing.

…I made a frantic call to my surgeon in England. I told him I was coming over to his hospital in the next few days. He was very concerned. He asked, “ Are you in pain’’. ‘No’, I replied, “ I am in my bath tub trying to sleep, apparently this area has the best energies.” Hashtag # Help!

...My friends requested me one last time to see their Panditji before I left for England. They felt his prayers would help me. I agreed because I believe in good wishes and good Karma. The Punditji looked educated and very modern. He asked me about the procedure of the Cervical surgery. I explained it to him in detail. He closed his eyes and said some mantra. Then he looked at me with warm and peaceful eyes, and said, “Are you sure they have to use a Titanium disc?” I said, “ Yeah, it’s the latest invention and really cool.” He sighed, “ Look it is your Karma that you have to undergo this surgery. You cannot escape it. But there is only one thing, Titanium is not your element, can you ask the doctor to use Moonstone instead.”

...The surgery was less painful. It took about an hour and a half. I was informed everything was excellent. As they say in our films… “The operation is successful.”

What was humiliating was the hospital dress code.

I believe a patient in a gown means that he or she is very ill and quite helpless. They need a lot of care and medical attention. It is a sort of uniform that tells you the person wearing it, is deserving of your sympathy and concern. No one expects a Stella McCartney, but at least...at least it should not make you dissolve into a merciless giggle.

Picture a hobbling and helpless patient crossing you, walking slowly away from you. You’re following him with your eyes, visibly moved, at this point your gaze misses his helpless expression entirely and lands unceremoniously on his butt. What purpose does this revealing and utterly humiliating outfit serve? I ask ye all fine people of the medical profession.

Even when I had gone for my knee and ankle surgery in Austria I was forced to wear this silly outfit. I could very well have been in shorts or Bermudas and got my knee operated on. It’s not as if my butt needs to be flashed for easy access to my knee. I think this aspect of clothing needs to be relooked at by the Medical Faculty around the world.

It requires immediate, scientific attention.

As I said, the complete collapse of everyone else’s attempts to cure me through their well meant suggestions, eventually lead me to my spinal surgery. This of course did not deter them from claiming credit for its success when I got home. The horseshoe nailed outside my room in my absence had apparently cast its magic spell on the surgeon.

The ‘Energy Expert’ was convinced that his switching my furniture around had filled the gap in my spine and my friends swore by their Panditji’s imaginary Moonstone too. Maybe it was the Energy Balancing, maybe it was the Surgery, or it could have been the shoeless horse; who knows?

Perhaps faith and science are deeply interconnected. Maybe we just don’t see the balance between them yet. Everything science proves today, it disproves tomorrow and faith in an idea often brings it to its empirical fruition. Superstition is the belief in a supernatural causality, we cannot completely abandon it unless we fully understand the complexity and vastness of nature.

I think it is safe to say that there are uncountable things in this world that will always remain beyond our understanding. Each of us chooses our own beliefs and lives by them and all of us are limited by our own condition. The trick is to respect each and every form of well meaning course of action, belief, superstition and still look up to man’s quest for knowledge (the yearning for scientific discovery), to back it up. That’s what I did.

I chose Titanium over the eeeww Moonstone and it worked for me….TOUCHWOOD!!!

CelebritiesShah Ruh Khan's Column In DNA by BeingAkorede(op): 10:01am On Dec 15, 2013
The superstar writes his first column in dna After Hrs on science and superstition. Tells us how he feels pressured by the 140-character Twitter limit and new words like twerking. Read on.

Article 1: Of balance, belief and hashtags.

Just a few days back my friends at the dna paper called upon me to write a monthly column for their newspaper. A Common perception about actors is that they are incompetent at everything other than acting (and some are supposedly incompetent at that too). We aren’t exactly meant to have other interests (well, except of the controversial kind) but as it happens, I do. I like to write.

Of late I have spent time on twitter like we all do and on the internet in general. The combined pressure of 140 alphabet limit and reading new words like ‘Twerking’ (described aptly by someone on the net as ‘masquerading an ass seizure as dancing’), has made me believe that I could contribute to the all round well being of the society with my writings also.

What actually convinced me was, that if Hashtags # (a sign we earlier used for cuss words), can convey emotions, then my words on paper can also seem like pearls of wisdom and its about time my smart, genius side became public. So I decided to grab the axe and hack my foot myself by entering into 12 such potentially earth shattering observations of the world around me.

I have thus come up with the “brilliant” and “original” idea of writing about the 12 Sun Signs. But wait...This isn’t your usual weekly or daily astro prediction column. That is best left to Mr. Bejan Daruwala, Marjorie Orr or Linda Goodman. I just think it’s a good place to start. 12 Columns, 12 Sun Signs, 12 traits I can write about. So I will pick the traits of these 12 Sun Signs and choose one that stands out the most then I’ll write around it. I’ll write my personal experience, my point of view or just something I see happening around me. Confused. Ok, read on.

This month we begin with Libra.

Librans are known for balance and harmony. The word balance tends to convey stillness, but oddly I look at balance as something that we need in life to keep things moving. It’s something that we all have to do...everyone from a tightrope walker to an accountant requires balance. An accountant has to balance debit with credit, while a star has to balance a public life with a private life. Most people have to balance lies and truth, or right and wrong. In my years of experience, one of the most intriguing balances I have had to find is that between Science and Superstition.

In India we are intrinsically tied to Superstition. It’s a natural nuance of our lives. I am a science student (over 90 percent in Electronics if I may add). This does not mean that I can open up a piece of electronic equipment and put it back together again. On that front I am like everybody else in the world: left holding one little ‘gizmoic’ part of the equipment, scratching my head, wondering, “where was this supposed to fit?” but more about this in another column.

Being of a scientific bent of mind, I always take the scientific course of action. If a part of my body is disintegrating or broke, I am more than willing to change it at the hands of an expert, namely a Surgeon. I have had eight such removals and implants done over the course of 20 years.

Thankfully, so far, no surgeon has come to me post operation and quizzed, “Eh, SRK I have this little piece of green spleen left-over from last night’s procedure, can you tell me if it belongs to you or then it could be bed number 42’s.”

So I am a believer of science and its many benefits. Having said that, I would still not go for a bungee jump or do a skydive on Friday the 13th. Hashtag # Just Saying.

CelebritiesRe: Shah Ruh Khan Day-to-Day by BeingAkorede(op): 6:01pm On Dec 14, 2013
Shahrukh Khan has conquered the Top 100 celebrity list with
his popularity and earnings this year. After delivering one of
the biggest hits of 2013 – Chennai Express this is no big
surprise. Following SRK is Indian cricket captain Mahendra
Singh Dhoni who has moved up from the third spot last year
thanks to his popularity and endorsement deals. Salman Khan
has slipped down by one position from the previous year. The
Jai Ho actor was on the second spot last year, with no
releases this year, this seemed obvious.

Sallu is followed by Sachin Tendulkar at number four and
Amitabh Bachchan who retained the 2012′s position at number five. The once box office king, Akshay Kumar bagged the sixth place. However, there are three new entrants in the top ten slot this year.

Virat Kohli on number seven is the youngest celebrity to make it to the top ten list in 2013. Following Virat was the alleged hot couple of B-town at number eight and nine. Still wondering who were are talking about? Well, its the media’s favourites – Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. With the success of Karan Johar’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani , Ranbir managed to grab the number eight position and Kat all thanks to her popularity and endorsements grabbed the ninth position and also became the only woman in the top ten list. On number ten is the Krrish 3 star Hrithik Roshan whose superhero flick Krrish 3 was a superhit. There were other celebs like Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Aamir Khan, AR Rahman, Karan Johar from Bollywood who made it to this list.

What a heck... Now what's the benefit? Your tariiff is high yet we manage your flunctuating network; the other day, i answered a call from your agent during the survey and i made a similar complain relating to BIS and Android Data plan, after which she said the management would do something about it.

Stop the BIS plan if you must and introduce a reliable & affordable data for the Android users too. i have been on Airtel since inception and i hope the new management won't force me to port.

Na jaaane kab say

Umeedain kuch baaki hain
Some hopes remain

Mujhe phir bhi teri yaad
Kyun aati hai
Even then, why do your thoughts keep coming?
Na jaane kab say
I don't know since when

Door jitna bhi tum mujh se
No matter how far away you are from me
Paas tere mein
I am near you

Ab to aadat si hai mujh ko aisay jeenay mein
Now i have sort of formed a habit of living like this
Zindagi say koi shikwa
Bhi nahin hai
I don't have any complaints against life

Ab tho zinda hoon mein iss neelay aasman mein
I am now just alive under the blue skies
Chahat aisi hai yeh teri
Barr thi jaaye
My longings for you are such that they keep increasing

Aahat aisi hai yeh teri
Mujh ko satha-ay
I hear your footsteps which keep torturing me
Yaadein gehri hain ithnee
Your thoughts are so deep

Dil doob jaye
My heart drowns in it
Aur aankhon mein yeh ghum num bun ja-ain
And the sadness becomes tears in my eyes

Ab tho aadat si hai mujh ko aisay jeenay mein
I have sort of formed a habit of living like this
Sabhi raatein hain
Everything is dark

Sabhi baatein hain
Its all just talks
Bhula do unhay

Yaariyaan... yaa..

Relationships,
these relationships...

Dil mera hai nasamajh kitna
Besabar ye bewakoof bada
Chaahta hai kitnaa tujhe
Khud magar nahi jaan sakaa

My heart is so mindless,
the imaptient (heart) is an idiot,
how much it loves you,
it didn't understand itself.

Is dard-e-dil ki sifarish
Ab kar de koi yahaan
Ki mil jaaye ise wo baarish
Jo bhigaa de poori tarah

Now someone make a case for
this pain of heart..
so that it gets that rain (of love)
that drenches it completely..

Kya huaa asar tere saath reh kar na jaane
Ki hosh mujhe naa rahaa
Lafz mere the zubaan pe aa ke ruke
Par ho na sake wo bayaan
Dhadkan tera hi naam jo le
Aankhein bhi paighaam ye dein
Teri nazar ka hi ye asar hai
Mujh pe jo huaa

what such effect was there of being with you,
I don't know,
that there was no sense left in me..
my words stuck on my tongue,
but couldn't get spoken..
In my heartbeat there is your name alone,
and the eyes give this message too.
It's all effect of your sight
that is there on me..

Is dard-e-dil ki sifaarish
Ab kar de koi yahaan
Ki mil jaaye ise wo baarish
Jo bhigaa de poori tarah
Tu jo mila
To zindagi hai badli
Main poora naya ho gaya
Hai be-asar duniya ki baatein badi
Ab teri sunoon main sadaa
Milne ko tujhse, bahaane karoon
Tu muskuraaye, vajah main banoon
Roz bitaana saath mein tere, saara din mera

As I found you,
my life has changed,
I have become all new,
all talks of world are ineffective..
Now I listen to you always,
I find excuses to meet you..
When you smile, I wish to be the reason,
(and wish) to spend all my day with you, everyday..

Is dard-e-dil ki sifaarish
Ab kar de koi yahaan
Ki mil jaaye ise wo baarish
Jo bhiga de poori tarah

Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela is one of the trending bwood movies and it has been declared as a HIT at the bollywood Box-office since last week, shotly after Krrish 3 became the highest earner in the history of bwood.

Bollywood nowadays is getting even bigger after SRK starer Chennai Express was able to surpass the record of mass entertainer-3 idiots within three weeks and setting another pace which couldn't last longer due to Krrish 3's arrival. i'm so positive about the success of Krrish 3 until the late Dec when we shall be entertained by a Yash Raj's production thriler DHOOM 3; Aamir Khan is aiming at a another box-office record. He said "i'll createe another record no one can break till 2020" hahahah....itna bolna raha hai

The 40-year-old record run-scorer in Tests and one-day internationals will quit all cricket after India's second Test against West Indies.Tendulkar has scored 100 international hundreds in his 24-year career and helped India win the World Cup in 2011.

Tendulkar's final match caps a month-long outpouring of emotion from a cricket-mad nation of 1.2 billion people which started when he confirmed that the series against West Indies would be his last. Such has been the interest in Tendulkar's final match that a website selling tickets crashed shortly after opening, receiving 19.7 million hits in the first hour. Fans have staged protests against the fact that only 5,000 of the 33,000 tickets went on public sale, with the remainder of the seats being filled by politicians, celebrities, former players and corporate guests.

The area around the Wankhede Stadium has been plastered with posters and murals of the player dubbed the "Little Master".Tendulkar's wife, Anjali, has joked that they may require a museum to house all the gifts and mementos. Meanwhile, tributes have been flocking in from some of Tendulkar's most illustrious contemporaries.

Ek Tha Tiger first week is 3rd highest of all time. But in Overseas film did half of what Chennai Express did in its first week. Of cource CE is a SRK film and his craze in Overseas markets is unmachable. Krrish 3 did reasonably well in overseas.

Over all in India film Krrish 3 did very well in Hindi, Tamil and
Telugu versions also which made it to break First Week record.
But in Overseas and Worldwide CE leads by a Distance. Ek Tha
Tiger remains at 3rd in worldwide first week's.
CelebritiesRe: Shah Ruh Khan Day-to-Day by BeingAkorede(op): 10:48pm On Nov 06, 2013
As Shahrukh Khan blew out 48 candles on his birthday cake a
few days ago BollywoodLife was there, waiting patiently for theman to spill his unique pearls of wisdom in his trademark style. The charmer was at his candid best on that special day and we decided to play with his carefully crafted words to try and understand the subliminal messages in his enlightening
conversation with the media. We decided to sneak into SRK’s
head to figure out possible interpretations of his words. And, of course, we saw and heard it all through the wicked prism that is BollywoodLife !

SRK: : I have not said many inspiring dialogues in my career. I
have only said romantic lines. But my favorite line is agar kisi
cheez ko dil se chaaho toh poori kaynath tumhein usse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai if you really want something in life very desperately then the entire universe conspires itself to make that thing happen for you.

What We Heard: I have not said many inspiring dialogues in
my career. I have only said romantic lines. And how many of
my non-romantic films worked? I certainly can’t repeat sattar
minute long speech from Chak De India! for the rest of my life!
SRK: I am not playing a college-goer any more in any of my
films!

WWH: But I still show off to my adoring public with the antics
and restlessness of a schoolboy, for sure!

SRK: One should spend at least 30 minutes a day doing
something – in fact, anything, that will make you sweat!

WWH: Okay, I think it’s time I thought up a new show I can
spend some of my hyper-energy on!

SRK: I have not achieved anything in my life in terms of my
profession. I still have a long way to go.

WWH: So I know that I am not a great actor. I am just lucky…
so far!

SRK: I appeal to all those smokers out there. It is my request
in fact, that they should quit smoking. If you quit smoking,
then that will inspire me to kick the butt too!

WWH: I need to smoke, but telling you to stop will help me feel
better about smoking, no? A good deed is always a good thing!

SRK: To achieve success you have to remain dissatisfied,
which does not mean you have to be cynical and angry. Zyada
plan mat karo, zyada socho mat.

WWH: Did I plan the making or the flop of RA.One ? Absolutely
not! But getting angry or cynical is not helping me come up
with a better story for a sequel!

SRK: Don’t be pompous about your success and don’t be
disheartened about your failures. Don’t be hard on yourself.

WWH: I have learned the lesson the hard way after my
superhero, super disaster, RA. One!

SRK: Oh my God – to be Shahrukh Khan is the best feeling in
the world!
WWH: Yeah, it is much better than ‘Being Human’!

SRK: I am bad with social etiquette. I don’t remember
important days, people’s birthdays, and I am really sorry for
that.

WWH: I forgot to wish you on your birthday last time, but you
still have to give me a present!

SRK: I don’t make movies according to my wishes and
desires!
WWH: I make movies according to my bank balance…and the
number of special songs I want in them.

SRK: I feel that AbRam has the spark to be the next Shahrukh
Khan!

WWH: And a certain Kapoor lad thinks he can become the next
SRK? Ha!
