Dhoom Machale - Come on once again lets hear it !

At last seen the movie Dhoom 2 last week, but it was a major disappointment for me. The reviews have rated the film 3 starts but it deserves not more than 1 star. That one also for Hritik; he has given a good performance.

Everybody and everything else, just pulls the movie down. Abhishek Bachchan and Bipasha Basu have nothing much to offer in their acting; they are doing their best to make us snooze in the theater. The comedian Uday Chopra…OMG..you don't even want to laugh at his jokes, even though sometimes they are genuinely funny.

Bipasha, Abhishek’s dance displays in Don't Touch Me song. It's awkward when the dance movements are vigorous our AB is just doing his morning exercise. …these are just a few. Do watch the movie if you want more of these

Aishwarya Rai….Yippee!! ….she was a major shock for me. What has she done with herself….She sucks with her 'funny guy'.

Hritik apart, another positive aspect is the special effects; truly world-class but ideas aren’t original (a lot of scenes are flicked as such from hollywood movies). Screen play and direction are the biggest villains. Every scene was predictable…. The film includes lots of stunts which would suit to our captain. Most of the songs have been similarly shot. No variety and new-ness, at all.

Good Son

An old man lived alone in a remote village. He wanted to dig his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, Bubba, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his
son and described his predicament.

Dear Bubba:
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year.
I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be
over. I know you would dig the plot for me.

Love, Dad

A few days later, he received a letter from his son.

Dear Dad:
For heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried the BODIES.
Love, Bubba

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local Police showed up and dug up the entire area
without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day, the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Dad:
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. It's the best I could do under the circumstances

Just Do it!

Recently, the concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly.

It is simple, yet an important method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted at during emergency as “ICE" (meaning In Case of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which numbers to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. Following a disaster in London, the East Anglican Ambulance Service has launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign. In an emergency situation, Emergency Services personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialing the number stored as "ICE".

Please let your friends know this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.

A great idea that will make a difference!

Good bye Pluto

Pluto, that tiny, distant 9th planet in our solar system, was unceremoniously stripped of its' status as a planet on Thursday.

Pluto, a planet since 1930, got the boot because it didn't meet the new rules, which say a planet not only must orbit the sun and be large enough to assume a round shape, but must “clear the neighborhood around its orbit.” This new 'rule' disqualifies Pluto, whose oblong orbit overlaps Neptune's.

They've downsized our solar system to eight planets!

All I could think about were the textbooks that would have to be changed-
And what about all the museums?

Will the 3rd graders this year learn there are 8 planets as opposed to 9?

And what about the children in 4th grade? Will someone go back and tell them?

I can imagine teachers everywhere explaining that Science is a moving target, and that new facts can change things you thought were facts yesterday.

I suppose that's a good thing.

Still, We miss you Pluto :(

75% of TN will be urban in 20 years!

Three-fourths of Tamil Nadu’s population will live in urban areas by the end of the next two decades. So will 61% of Maharashtra, while a majority of the population in Gujarat and Punjab will be in urban areas by then.

As the world gets increasingly urban - according to Newsweek, more than half of its population will be in towns and cities within a year for the first time in human history - India too will be catching up with the trend, turning on its head the cliche that 'India lives in her villages'.

According to a projection of India's population in 2026 by the Registrar General and Census Commissioner’s office, large swathes of the country will become urban.

Leading the pack would be Tamil Nadu, already the most urbanised of India’s bigger states with 44% urbanisation in 2001. By 2026, the projection suggests three-fourths of TN residents will be in urban areas. In fact, the state is set to be predominantly urban as early as next year.

Maharashtra, which in 2001 was only a little less urbanised with 42.4% of its population in towns and cities, would by 2026 have fallen far behind. But it would still have almost two-thirds of its people in urban areas. Its urban population is likely to cross 50% by 2021.

Gujarat and Punjab would just about make the 50% cut-off, the urban populations in both states crossing the halfway mark for the first time in 2026. As on March 1, 2026 it is estimated that Gujarat would be 53% urbanised and Punjab 52.5% urbanised.

Two other major states, Karnataka and Haryana, would be on the verge of becoming predominantly urban with urbanisation rates of 49.3% and 46.3% respectively. Interestingly, Uttaranchal will be more urbanised than states like Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal or Kerala by 2026.

Seems "India Shining"

ReUnion

Four friends, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years, were reunited at a party. After several drinks, one of the men had to use the restroom.

Those who remained started talking about their kids. The first guy said, "My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel. He studied Economics and Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and now he's the president of the company. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top-of-the-line Mercedes for his birthday."

The second guy said, "Darn, that's terrific! My son is also my pride and joy. He started working for a big airline, and then went to flight school to become a pilot. Eventually he became a partner in the company. Now he owns the majority of its assets. He's so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday."

The third man said: "Well, that's terrific! My son studied at the best universities and became an engineer. Then he started his own construction company and is now a multi-millionaire. He also gave away something very nice and expensive to his best friend for his birthday: a 30 thousand square foot mansion."

The three friends congratulated each other just as the fourth returned from the restroom and asked: "What are all the congratulations for?"

One of the three said: "We were talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our sons. What about your son?"

The fourth man replied: "My son is gay and makes a living dancing as a stripper at a nightclub."

The three friends said: "What a shame... what a disappointment."

The fourth man replied: "No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son and I love him. He hasn't done too bad either. His birthday was two weeks ago, and he received a beautiful 30 thousand square foot mansion, a brand new jet, and a top-of-the-line Mercedes from his three boyfriends."

How To Cook an Egg with Mobile Phones

I might add it takes aproximently 2 minutes of speaking on a cellular phone for the radiation to cross the protective Blood Brain Barrier. So when ever there is a land line available use it in preference to your cell.

Enjoy the interesting article..How Two Russian Journalists Cooked an Egg with their Mobile Phones

Vladimir Lagovski and Andrei Moiseynko from Komsomolskaya
Pravda Newspaper in Moscow decided to learn first-hand how
harmful cell phones are. There is no magic in cooking with your
cell phone. The secret is in the radio waves that the cell phone
radiates.


The journalists created a simple microwave structure as shown in
the picture. They called from one cell phone to the other and left
both phones on talking mode. They placed a tape recorder next to
phones to imitate sounds of speaking so the phones would stay on.

After, 15 minutes: The egg became slightly warm.
25 minutes: The egg became very warm.
40 minutes: The egg became very hot.
65 minutes: The egg was cooked. (As you can see.)



Conclusion ..1: Cooking eggs with mobile phones is possible but very expensive ($4.55 or 123 Rubles)

Conclusion ..2: All this talk of danger is exaggerated; even if your brain gets cooked, it would take a couple hours of talking on a cell phone.

Conclusion ..3: We dont recommend carrying cell phone in your pants.
