The Power of Many

The readers consist of highly active minded entrepreneur, and educated people looking to grow and expand under their capacity.

With honesty, integrity and best practice we are able to make Bollywood Showtime magazine one of the most unique and outstanding publication. With a centralized publication and exclusively editorial content about Bollywood, Business, Health, Lifestyle, Culture, Sports, Heritage and Gossips.

Bollywood Showtime magazine makes it a goal to keep readers at the forefront of Austin society.

This era is so tired of banks. We all like the thought of cash, however dislike anything besides green as far as paperwork. Of late this idea has traversed to business visionaries as well, and as opposed to being obligated to banks, they’d rather be obliged to followers and tech devotees. Kickstarter and crowdfunded undertakings are extremely popular, and rightly so. The plans that didn’t appear to pass the bank-marshal test, evidently take flights of extravagant online with speculation from individuals like you and me. So its an immediate association between individuals who make stuff and the individuals who purchase stuff – no quip planned. Anyway thats my opinion, what do you guys think of Kickstarter and Crowdfunding.

You can’t be an inhabitant of this planet and overlook FIFA. We shower our adoration and consideration on football’s most prominent occasion and propose approaches to make the experience simply a tad bit better, on p90. Moving from inside to the un challenged king of Bollywood Salman Khan(p50) to present to you a perspective (and outing) like no other. Also this being our first Issue we would like you the readers to let us know how we are doing and how we can entertain you.

Dabaang 3 Releasing May 2014 PE Teacher!

A blonde gets a job as a physical education teacher for 16 - 18 year olds.

She notices a boy at the end of the field standing alone, while all the other kids are running around having fun, kicking a football. She takes pity on him and decides to speak to him.

“Are you ok?” she asks.

“Yes,” he replies. “You can go and play with the other kids, you know,” she says.

“It’s best I stay here,” he says.

“Why’s that, sweetie?” asks the blonde.

The boy looks at her incredulously and says, “Because I’m the GOAL KEEPER !”

Hindu Charities for America Bollywood Meets Borscht Belt by: Rama Tiru

W

On June 1st, in a darkened hall full of people hushed in a silence of anticipation at BMBB 2014, a drum beat started softly and grew louder and louder to a crescendo while the MC Tasha Sharma announced the impressive line up of artists who were performing to support this event.

Artists included those of Indian and Jewish Heritage such as Anuradha Naimpally, Singer Naga Valli and Oliver Rajamani, Monsoon Dance and Yesh Rikud performed Fusion Dances. Mazel Tov Kocktail Hour serenaded guests with Jewish folk music during a sumptuous Indian vegetarian dinner and delicious Jewish Desserts. The result was that $16000 was raised towards this worthy cause.

HC4A is branching out to support many events in the Austin Area. Diwali is the largest of all Hindu festivals that is celebrated worldwide. Indians view Diwali as occasion for giving. With that in mind HC4A sponsored GivingFest 2013 last Diwali. The event featured a variety of Indian cultural performances, included the “Colors of India fashion show” and showcased a number of Indian businesses. The event, which was attended by more than 600 people, raised $20000 towards scholarships for Austin Area students seeking vocational training to enable them to develop valuable skills needed for future careers.

HC4A founder Harish Kotecha presented the $20000 donation, one of the largest amounts raised by an Asian American Charity to representatives from Capital Idea, Austin Community College and Manor ISD. Austin Mayor Pro Tem Sheryl Cole and City Council Member Mike Martinez attended the event, held on June 4th at Austin City Hall.

Founded in Austin, by Harish Kotecha, this organization has been serving the Austin Metro area and has donated school supplies to over 2100 students.

Taking advantage of the cultural diversity of Austin, HC4A partnered with the Jewish Foundation of Greater Austin (JFGA) to creatively embrace both cultures with the “Bollywood meets Borscht Belt” event in 2013 to raise money to fund the school supply needs for children in Austin and Manor ISDs.

u

hen they hear the name Hindu Charities for America, most people assume that the organization is involved with charitable works in India or that it is a religious organization. However, Hindu Charities of America (HC4A) is founded on the principle “We give where we live!”.

HC4A was founded in 2010 with the goal of creating a vehicle for Indian Communities across the United States to give back to the communities that have embraced them and provided opportunities for success.

Bullying and our Community By: Marina Ong Bhargava

I

remember when my daughter Marisa came home from preschool many years ago and when I asked her how her day was, she said it was bad. When I asked her why, she explained that one of her friends made fun of her name, calling her “Marisa Ba-ga-ba-ga”.

Bullying in school is prevalent but for Asian American students, the incidence of bullying is much higher. In a recent 2011 report by the Asian American Pacific Islander Nexus from a 2009 survey by the US Justice and Education Departments , 54% of Asian American teenagers said they experienced bullying in school compared with 31.3% of white, 38.4% of black and 34.3% of Hispanic students.

Is bullying in school simply a normal rite of passage? How much attention should we be paying to this issue? Research has shown that people who are bullied have higher risk of depression and anxiety, increased thoughts of suicide, and health problems which persist into adulthood. They also have decreased academic achievement and are more likely to skip or drop out of school. At the extreme, they may retaliate with violence.

There are negative consequences for the bullies too, not just the higher risk of getting into fights but also of alcohol and drug abuse, early sexual activity, criminal convictions and traffic citations as adults, and they are more like to be abusive to romantic partners, spouses and possibly their children later on. Even children who are neither bullies nor bullied may be affected

26

Bollywood Showtime

simply by witnessing bullying; they have an increased use of addictive substances, mental health issues and are more likely to miss school.

What exactly is bullying?

According to Dan Olweus (creator of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program), “A person is bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly over time to negative actions on the part of one or more persons, and he or she has difficulty defending himself or herself”. Three components must exist; the behavior must be aggressive, be repeated and involves an imbalance of power or strength.

The easiest form of bullying to identify is physical bullying. This can take the form of hitting, pinching, kicking, pushing or damaging valuables. But it can also be verbal; name-calling, teasing, insulting, gossiping.

Or it can be emotional; social exclusion (not inviting someone to a birthday party that everyone else is invited to), using guilt (if you are my friend, you cannot be friends with so-and-so), demeaning someone (racial or sexual slurs).

Finally, in this digital age cyber bullying is on the rise and most alarming for our community is that 62% of Asian American students report being bullied online up to twice a month, compared to just 18.1% of white students. If so many of our children are being affected and the negative consequences are serious and long lasting, then we as a community need to be aware and take this issue seriously.

Steps to be taken in this situation 1. Encourage open communication with children. If they discuss bullying, stay calm, listen actively, do not blame the child, and learn as much about the situation.

2. Teach children how to respond by giving them tools that empower them. They can say “I want you to stop now,” and walk away. Practice doing this at home. Suggest sticking with friends and remind them that they can ask teachers or other adults for help.

3. If the bullying persists, contact school officials. If physical harm has occurred or is being threatened, speak to officials immediately to determine if police should be called.

4. Boost children’s self-confidence through activities that can raise self-esteem, such as sports, music or art. Encourage children to build friendships and develop social skills, not just focus on academic grades.

5. Seek professional help when your children’s anxiety becomes overwhelming or other issues such as depression develops. Early intervention can prevent long lasting problems.

NachBaliye From the University of Texas at Austin A CO-ED Bollywood fusion dance team

T

he costumes are dazzling, the music is blaring and the energy is soaring. Twenty college students fill the stage, dancing to remixes of the latest Bollywood hits, old throwbacks, and the newest hip-hop songs. This is Texas Nach Baliye, hailing from the University of Texas at Austin, bringing the latest interpretation of Bollywood dancing to the stage.

Texas Nach Baliye is the premier nationally competing co-ed BollywoodFusion Dance Team at The University of Texas. The team was founded in 2008 by a group of college students, led by Kovid Gupta, who recognized the unfilled niche of co-ed Bollywood dancing in Texas. At the time, they simply wanted to perform at a local talent show, UT Indian Cultural Association’s Jhalak. However, after Jhalak, the team received several calls encouraging them to delve into the national South Asian dance arena. In Fall 2009, Nach Baliye became a registered student organization that aimed to represent the University of Texas in national competitions of the highest caliber.

Texas Nach Baliye competes in the premiere, collegiate BollywoodFusion dance circuit. Bollywood fusion developed as Indian-American students across the country mixed both the Indian and American cultural elements that they grew up with.

The style incorporates Hindi film dancing, hip-hop, Bhangra, classical styles such as Bharatanatyam and Kuchupuri, and contemporary to create diverse routines. The circuit ranges across the country, and has become a huge network for students who are interested in dance and Indian culture and performance. As a part of this elite circuit, Texas Nach Baliye competes at Bollywood America “bid” competitions, held all over the nation.

These competitions, sponsored by DesiDanceTeams.com (DDT), pit the

best dance teams from each region against each other. There are 10 such nationwide “bid” competitions, the winners of which comprise the nation’s Top 10 collegiate dance teams. These ten teams are given the honor of performing at the prestigious “Bollywood America” competition and vying for the top title in the nation.

Nach Baliye has been increasingly successful over the past few years, and has had the privilege of competing both in the Bollywood scene but also in front of other crowds. They were the 2014 winners of Texas Revue, UT’s biggest talent show, as well as competitors in the World of Dance, one of the largest hiphop competitions in the country.

It was a chance to represent Indian culture in a scene with the biggest hip-hop names in the country. They also made a mark nationally, securing multiple Runner-up positions at Bollywood America “bid” competitions at Georgia Tech, Penn State, and the University of Cincinnati.

While the essence of Nach Baliye is dance, we strive to put on a wholesome and entertaining show for the audience. Our team’s unique selling point is its intricate choreography, executed with the unbridled energy of its 20+ members. In our routines, performed both nationally and locally, we also aim to entertain members of the audience with stunts, gimmicks, dialogues, and comedy intertwined into a product that resembles a Broadway production. Besides dancing in competitions, Nach Baliye also delivers memorable performances at weddings, exhibitions, fairs, event openings, and philanthropic events.

By Homayra Shaikh

tagline! Abbs-Mustan first offered the role of Ajay in 1993 classic Baazigar to Salman. The actor however, was not interested in playing a negative character and turned down the role.

2. Salman is well known for his controversies,

one of which involved a car accident in Mumbai, India in 2002 killing one person and injuring four others. Following this incident, Salman Khan now rarely drives himself. He is often seen in the front passenger seat of his cars with a chauffeur when travelling.

designers. However, the actor actually began his career as a model before entering the film Industry.

7. Salman Khan wrote the movie script for

Baaghi: A Rebel for Love, Chandramukhi, and Veer. Salman Khan aspired to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a writer rather than an actor. Unfortunately, all three movies did not do well at the box office.

3. During his early career as a struggling actor, 8. Salman Khan is well known for his painting Salman did not depend on, nor utilize his father, prolific screen writer and actor, Salim Khan’s influence to obtain roles or climb up the ladder like many others with relatives in the industry.

KICK

Salman’s Next Film

B

ox Office set to Receive a “Kick” from Salman Khan Salman Khan’s upcoming film Kick is set to hit the theatres July 27, 2014. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala will be debuting as a director with this action packed comedy thriller. The established producer and first time director is quite confident in his abilities stating “This film is going to be different. It is completely different from Salman’s earlier films. I will add my style and touch to it”. His confidence is not misplaced, each time the producer has worked with Salman Khan, their films such as Jeet, Judwaa, Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi have proved to be highly successful at the box office.

Kick is a remake of the

blockbuster 2009 Telegu film of the same name which earned a net 30 crores (300 000 000 INR) at the box office. Film pundits are expecting the Bollywood release of Kick to likewise do extremely well and break records.

The current trend in Bollywood with big name films is to schedule release dates according to holidays and festivals. Kick is no exception, the film starring Salman Khan will be released on the eve of the Muslim festival of Eid and is expected to cash in on the celebrations. Salman Khan has always considered Eid to be a lucky period for him at the box office. With Shahrukh Khan’s upcoming film Happy New Year set to release in October during Diwali, the actor will not be facing any serious competition at the

Bollywood Showtime

box office.

The film will feature former model and Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez alongside Salman Khan who beat out competition Dipika Padukone and Sonakshi Sinha who were also considered to play the lead opposite Salman Khan. «It will definitely be a dream come true to work with someone like Salman Khan because he is the biggest thing right now in Bollywood,» said the 27-year-old former Miss Sri Lanka. The cast also includes Randeep Hooda, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

The plot which revolves around several high value robberies targeting the elite society allows for intense action sequences performed by not one, not two, but four of Salman’s body doubles!

Each of the four body doubles specialize in different action stunts. The film will include several deadly stunts that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats, be prepared to be thoroughly entertained! While watching the film, the audience will witness a thrilling high-speed chase between Salman Khan and Randeep Hooda. What few will know however is that Ajay, the body double who kicked off the scene for Salman Khan actually landed himself in the hospital with serious facial injuries.

Director Sajid Nadiadwala had rented a row house near a railway track. The scene required Ajay to jump from the first floor of the house on to the railway track, after which Salman Khan would resume his character’s role and jump on to a moving train close on the heels of Randeep Hooda’s cop character.

As planned, Ajay crashed through a sheet of sugar glass which is a brittle transparent form of sugar used as a glass replacement, however the timing went wrong and many broken pieces of the sugar glass pierced into his face. The stunt man was rushed to the hospital by Salman and Sajid immediately and did not return to shoot the film. The scene was then completed by another body double.

In addition to the gravity-defying stunts, viewers will also witness Salman Khan sporting a look previously not seen

By: Homayra Shaikh

before. The actor is well known to adopt different looks to best represent his character from the curtain hairstyle in Tere Naam to the fake moustache and staple aviators in Dabangg. However, viewers will not be seeing a pasteup job this time. The actor decided to grow out his real whiskers for Kick and was first seen sporting a moustache at the premiere of his last film, Jai Ho, in Dubai. Following his visit, he was recently spotted in Mumbai with a full goatee. Salman will be flaunting his new look for approximately 40 minute in the film during a crucial sequence.

Director Sajid Nadiadwala is thrilled with the new look and how Salman has represented his character outwardly, yet he was reluctant to share further details, simply stating «Yes, bhai’s new look is for my film Kick. That’s all I can say for now.” With the success of Dabangg 2 which earned the title of the third highest-grossing Bollywood production ever, followed by the underwhelming performance of Jai Ho at the box office, Salman holds high hopes for Kick.

Salman Khan’s fans are in a frenzy awaiting the release of the film. Sajid Nadiadwala has been flooded with requests to release the official poster of the film. In fact, he has begun to receive Kick posters created by fans who are having a difficult time carrying out the wait. Perhaps as he did with Jai Ho, Salman Khan will lend his artistic talent and paint the poster for Kick as well, now wouldn’t that be a treat for his eager fans?

Bollywood

Any film is about heroism: the triumph of good over evil. If you look back at my films, you will see that as a recurring theme.

Salman Khan The Painter Actor, television host, writer, philanthropist, his talents do not stop there, Salman Khan, Bollywood’s highest paid actor, is also well known for his artistic talent.

Bollywood Showtime

“S

alman has always been into painting, he has been a talented artist right from childhood. It is a trait that he has got from his mother Salma, who herself is an accomplished artist,” says Salman’s father Salim.

Father Salim’s

favorite painting is an abstract piece which depicts individuals of different religious communities. As every good artist Salman Khan continues to hone his painting skills, he has begun taking lessons with painting coach and talented artist Nilesh Vede.

Bollywood

Salman’s paintings often reveal individuals of different religions, but ultimately carry a theme of spirituality and unity depicting God as one. His portraits have a tendency to portray tranquil and meditative expressions.

Salman has painted several portraits of his close friends in the industry and gifted them, one of which was of Aamir Khan in his Ghajini avatar of Sanjay Singhani.

During his television show Dus Ka Dum, Salman also gifted guest contestant Ranbir Kapoor who attended the show with co-actors Deepika Padeukone and Manisha Lamba , a portrait of his late grandfather Raj Kapoor.

Salman Khan’s paintings decorate the walls of many celebrity homes including those of Boney Kapoor and Sridevi.

Though initially a well-kept secret, Salman is no longer reluctant to speak about his paintings.

Perhaps his confidence in his abilities has grown or he has come to realize it would be a shame to hide such promising talent. You may be surprised to hear that the poster created for Salman’s film Jai Ho, released in January 2014 was in fact a Salman Khan creation! The digital poster was produced from his painting, and the movie title Jai Ho is written in Salman’s handwriting. The poster was first revealed online with a tweet from Salman Khan, the actor tweeted, “Maine paint kiya, aapne click kiya and Friday ko we made the poster”. Salman Khan put in great thought into his painting, incorporating stick figures standing next to each other representing the masses, the “aam admi”, and the strength of community. This concept reflects the fundamental message of the movie: do good deeds, help others to better society, and in

return you will also benefit.

How much do Salman Khan’s paintings sell for? Get ready to pick your jaw up off the floor. One of his paintings has sold for one crore (10 million INR)! The painting which was one of Salman Khan`s favorites, represented the emotional relationship between a mother and son. Despite being a famous celebrity and Bollywood star, this success as an artist did not come immediately for Salman. The painting had been previously submitted at an auction intended to raise funds for several NGOs, however, the highest bid it was receiving was 20 lakhs (2 000 000 INR), prompting Salman Khan to make the decision to withdraw the painting from the auction at the time, clearly this was a good decision! Salman Khan chose to invest his earnings from the painting into his non-profit foundation which focuses on education and health empowerment and aid in India, Being Human. Salman`s father, Salim Khan stated “I know for sure that the amount has gone to the Salman Khan Foundation and it will benefit the needy that the foundation supports.”

CELEBRITY SIBLINGS

DON’T HAVE IT AS GOOD AS THEY COULD In a family, often one person shines and becomes super famous, while his or her siblings live in the shadow. Some revel in their relative anonymity, but most find it difficult to find their own groove and may harbour feelings of resentment, guilt and lack of confidence. Many siblings work with their famous brother or sister in some capacity of the other and so they lead a comfortable life, but nothing like that of the better known sibling.

It is not necessary that all siblings can achieve success as their famous brothers or sisters, but sibling rivalry is a known psychological phenomenon. It was way back in 1941 that renowned psychologist, David Adler, coined the term sibling rivalry and modern day research studies have confirmed that sibling rivalry often plays an important role in behavior patterns of adults. Even if both siblings are successful they may have a turbulent relationship and may always try to outdo each other.

Professor Kevin Browne, a forensic psychologist at the University of Nottingham, says that sibling rivalry has its roots in childhood but ‘when parents are elderly and the children are adult, they are no longer so concerned with gaining affection. Instead they vie for material things such as property and money and often go to extraordinary lengths to make sure they are getting their fair share.’ And if it is not real property it can be fame, money and success and not necessarily the legacy left by parents.

AMISHA PATEL Closer home many star siblings have either not made it or given up or are still struggling. Ashmit Patel, brother of Amisha Patel, tried his hand at acting, got a few roles but was unable to make an impact; he even came in a reality show but could not make a name for himself. The same goes for Sidhartha Koirala, Manish Koirala’s brother – he struggled and but was unsuccessful.

DAVID BECKHAM

BRAD PITT Superstar super hunk Brad Pitt has a brother who looks remarkably similar – Doug Pitt.

Doug owns ServiceWorld Computer Center in Springfield, a real estate company and has been a photo journalist. Recently he has appeared in a new Virgin mobile advertising campaign which has become immensely popular and is a spoof on his life.

46

Bollywood Showtime

David Beckham, the popular and super rich football hero, has two sisters. His older sister, Lynne, married, divorced, remarried a man who is in jail – she lives in a house her brother bought for her and manages on government benefits.

His younger sister, Joanne, works as a hairdresser in a London salon. Neither of them is rich or successful.

Bollywood

SANJAY DUTT On the other hand Sanjay Dutt has two sisters – Namrata is married to Kumar Gaurav who briefly was in films and also runs a successful ad film business and Priya Dutt who entered politics and is an active MP. Neither of them were interested in films.

There are many instances where siblings have achieved some success, but not at the same level as their famous brother or sister. Sohail Khan and Arbaaz Khan, for instance, came as heroes or in supporting roles, but never reached superstardom like Salman. Both are now making films, using the box office appeal of their famous brother and reaping the fruits of success. Bobby Deol did many films, some as solo hero, but never reached the heights of success that his brother, Sunny, did. Amir Khan’s brother, Faisal, came in a few films, but then went through a low phase and had psychological problems as well leading to a messy situation where his guardianship issue went to the courts.

AMBANI A famous case of Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani fighting a public battle for their father’s legacy and going so far as not even talking to each other. While Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle each carved her own niche in the singing business, their other sisters never reached those popular heights and both Lata and Asha have been known for their rivalry.

SHILPA SHETTY

MARK ZUCKERBERG Who does not know Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg? But how many people know that Mark has three sisters. Arielle works for a marketing firm, Wildfire Interactive, as product manager; Donna has her own food blog and is doing her PhD at Princeton; Randi worked with Facebook as marketing director before leaving it to start her own social media company and is now making a reality TV show about the San Francisco Bay Area tech scene. They lead ordinary lives.

Shilpa Shetty’s younger sister, Shamita, got some eminently forgettable roles in a few movies, but finally gave up and went on to do an interior designing course in London ‘quitting’ Bollywood in search of another career. And given her sister’s contacts, and the fact that interior designing is a money making occupation provided you have a ready entry, no doubt she will be more successful than in her acting endeavors.

‘HOLIDAY’ – AKSHAY’S NEW VENTURE

He’s a classical example of ‘versatility’ and ‘talent’. From playing the most comic roles to action & romance, he believes in giving the best shot. Having said this, Akshay’s name has remained quite synonymous to ACTION beyond doubts. So, action will be taken to the next level with Akshay’s flair in “Holiday: A Soldier Is Never off Duty”. Viewers are expected to be taken to a joyride with altogether innovative approach of action. The famous British stuntman, Greg Powell (known for his work in Harry Potter and Jams Bond) has been hired to make sure every action sequence is tuned to perfection. It will be Powel’s first Bollywood project too.

The movie also introduces a new style of martial art ‘AKIRU’, to revolutionize the typical style of action usually seen in Hindi Cinema. It will

surely contribute a great deal towards bringing the stunts near to reality. Akshay who has also got himself trained with ‘AKIRU’ seems quite enthusiastic to set another landmark in the film industry.

“He is great to teach. He loves to rehearse. His memory is fantastic.

In five minutes, he picks up all the moves,” said Powell.

Another notable feature of the movie is that Akshay to be featured as an army officer after a very long time.

With this much of energy & dynamism put into the story. The movie is quite well anticipated to thrill the viewers by all means.

Nevertheless, the multitalented Akshay is known for his remarkable performances in versatile acts, his film career is going to take yet another significant turn with the stunner.

ACTOR HRITHIK ROSHAN SHOCKS FANS BY DIVORCING FROM WIFE SUZANNE

They seemed like a match made in heaven when they tied the knot several years ago, but sadly the perfect fairytale marriage between Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan and wife Suzanne has now come to an end.

The couple share two children, both of whom are below ten years of age and who are now going to be residing with their mother post the break up.

Indeed this is a piece of news that has taken the glamour world by storm and numerous glitterati in Bombay have expressed disbelief upon hearing the news.

News of friction between Hrithik and Suzanne has been doing the rounds of the gossip circles for quite some time now. There was a good deal of tension to be witnessed between the couple during Rakesh Roshan’s birthday party in Mumbai.

While Suzanne did accompany her husband to the party, she did not stay around for too long and left by herself.

She also did not seem to be gelling to well with Hrithik at the party and hardly spoke to anyone while she was present at the venue. Indeed it seemed like not all was well in wonderland.

What added fuel to the rumors

54

Bollywood Showtime

of things going wrong in Hrithik and Suzanne’s marriage was the latter moving out of the home of her in laws and into a separate apartment along with her two boys? The reason given by her at the time for the shift was renovation work being carried out in her former residence. It now seems that she had done so because she was not getting along with her husband. Later gossip appeared to convey that idea that Suzanne was getting on too well with her mother in law Pinky Roshan who according to her came across as too domineering.

Friends and family members close to the couple refused to admit that Hrithik and Suzanne were going to go their separate ways and were of the firm opinion that the two of them were doing just fine in their married lives as opposed to what the gossip mills were suggesting. Even Suzanne’s mother Zarine Khan in an interview at the opening of her fashion boutique in Bandra spoke lovingly about Hrithik as her much adored son in law and that the rumors of a rift in the marriage between Hrithik and Suzanne were all false.

The reason for the break

up between Hrithik and Suzanne is believed to be Mexican actress Barbara Mori who starred together with Hrithik Roshan in the Rakesh Roshan multi starrer Kites. The chemistry between Hrithik and Barbara in the movie was palpable and evident therefore to one and all. The on screen chemistry rubbed off in real life too with Hrithik and Barbara spending a lot of time with each other in both Mumbai and abroad. This went to such an extreme that Suzanne even walked out of her home and lived in a hotel for some time to teach Hrithik a lesson.

Suzanne refused to accompany Hrithik for a brain surgery in the United States recently which was a first major sign of the fact that they were heading towards splitsville.

Within a few days the announcement came from Hrithik on his Facebook page that he and Suzanne were going to go their separate ways and that she was always going to remain the love of his life. In his Facebook status update, Hrithik seemed to indicate that it was Suzanne’s cruel decision to leave him and that he was nothing but a victim of circumstances.

SALMAN KHAN & SOOORAJ PANCHOLI SALMAN KHANS STRATEGY TO PROMOTE SOORAJ Regardless of the Jiah Khan controversy, her ex boyfriend Sooraj Pancholi has the backing of one of the biggest stars in Bollywood – Salman Khan.

Sooraj who’s making his debut with Hero opposite Sunil Shetty’s daughter Athiya is already touted to be hot property and a face to watch for. We reveal how Salman is guiding and grooming the young actor to make a huge debut….

MANAGING HIS WORK Salman has got his own manager Reshma Shetty to manage Sooraj’s work as well. Reshma who plays an important role in Salman’s day to day activities is also looking after ensuring Sooraj gets the right support and is surrounded by the right people.

She was by his side during the difficult phase of his life asking him to stay strong.

FILMI GYAAN Salman is believed to be giving a lot of filmy gyaan to Sooraj on the kind of films he should do and the actresses he should work with. Perhaps learning from his own mistakes he’s asked Sooraj to make sure he signs the correct projects and doesn’t get emotional in his decisions.

PROMOTION PROMISE

BUILD IT LIKE SALMAN No one else can motivate you to work out and make a hot body as much as Salman Khan himself.

The actor has taken Sooraj under his wings and is giving him work out tips and even shared his own trainer to make sure he’s in his best shape for his debut film. Salman is also asking Sooraj not to bulk up too much and concentrate on muscle and

lean body mass. Apart from workout he’s also asked him to keep a check on what he’s eating and avoid alcohol and junk food.

Salman has promised Sooraj that he will use every platform possible in his capacity to promote him and his film before release.

The Bollywood beauty was hired by Dr Dre’s business partner Jimmy Iovine to appear in commercials and print advertisements for company. A source told the New York Daily News, «Priyanka’s their lucky charm.

Incidentally, it was just a few days ago that executives at Apple confirmed reports they had bought the company for a whopping $3 billion, the tech firm’s largest ever acquisition.

So Priyanka being signed on as their brand ambassador is a huge deal indeed. The deal has reportedly catapulted Dr. Dre to the top of the World’s Richest Hip-Hop Artists list with a net worth of $790 million according to Billionaire.com.

Priyanka, who will be seen in the biopic on Mary Kom to be released in October, has been juggling her Bollywood and Hollywood commitments.

Cricket meets its cousin Baseball in the movie MILLION DOLLAR ARM

I

n “Million Dollar Arm,” two teenagers in India enter a reality television show created by a wealthy sports agent. The contest is baseball, a game they’ve never played, but the prize is a whopper: a chance to join a major league team in America.

“Million Dollar Arm” is based on a true story, but guess whose? Not that of Dinesh Patel (Madhur Mittal, of “Slumdog Millionaire”) or Rinku Singh (Suraj Sharma, “Life of Pi”), who give up everything they know for a new life in a strange country, but that of the sports agent, J.B. Bernstein.

Played by Jon Hamm, retailoring his Don Draper role from “Mad Men,” Bernstein is a likable if objectionable figure: the rich Westerner who learns valuable lessons from poor natives.

Rudyard Kipling couldn’t have written a more heartwarming,

blithely colonialist fairy tale than “Million Dollar Arm.” Directed by Craig Gillespie from a feel-good script by Tom McCarthy (“The Visitor”), the movie is simultaneously offensive and endearing. It gapes at India like a friendly tourist, carts home its two souvenirs and then, in its awkward way, tries to find common ground between East and West.

Dinesh and Rinku may have hoped to find independence in America, but instead they’ve landed in a Disney family film -- and they’re the children. Fascinated by elevators and romping through fancy hotels like a couple of Curious Georges, they’re referred to as “kids,” or treated as such, by everyone in the movie. Meanwhile, Bernstein plays the neglectful dad, leaving his charges to struggle through school

(Bill Paxton plays pitching coach Tom House) while he’s off courting the blinged-out football star Popo Vanuatu (Rey Maualuga, of the Cincinnati Bengals).

“They just need to see that you care,” says Bernstein’s casual girlfriend, Brenda. She’s played with sharp intelligence by Lake Bell, but even Brenda seems destined to become a mommy figure. Filling in this glowing picture are Aasif Mandvi as Bernstein’s colleague, Indian actor Pitobash as an eager-beaver translator and Alan Arkin, not exactly stretching as a crusty scout.

It’s all a bit cringe-inducing, but what can you do? Like your beloved but slightly bigoted grandfather, “Million Dollar Arm” is so touchingly unaware of its problems that scolding it seems pointless.

After many missed deadlines Kochadaiyaan is finally hear, rejoice Ranjikanth’s fans Kochadaiyaan, a 3D computer animated period film directed by Soundarya R. Ashwin and written

by K. S. Ravikumar, due to the revolutionary use of technology in the movie production is one of the most awaited movies. And, presence of superstar Rajnikanth who has a god like presence in the southern box offices only amplifies the hype.

Along with Rajnikanth who will be seen in triple role, the movie also features R. Sarathkumar, Aadhi, Deepika Padukone, Shobana, Rukmini Vijayakumar, Jackie Shroff, and Nassar enacting and voice supporting important animated characters in the movie. The music of the movie is composed by Oscar winner

and accomplished music director A.R. Rehman. Now, let’s analyze the impact of technology, in our Kochadaiyaan movie review.

Kochadaiyaan is a period movie partly inspired from the life of pandiyan king Kochadaiiyaan Ranadhiran (710-735 A.D). The movie revolves around the battle of Good versus evil and shows one man’s courage to stand for the injustice.

The movie shows Kochadaiiyaan Ranadhiran’s brilliance in battle and his benevolence in ruling his subjects.

It documents his vicious struggle against those who plan to usurp his crown.

On numerous occasions director Soundarya has claimed that

Kochadaiiyaan has been made using latest animation and 3D technologies.

And, when you compare it with other movies that have been produced on the Indian shores, the claim indeed prove to be right. But in comparison with Hollywood movies, Kochadaiiyaan is lacking in ‘wow’ factor special effects. Rajnikanth is the star of the movie and his performance once against defies his age. His stunts, characteristic dialogue delivery style and stylish acting, carries the movie forward with impeccable grace. The plot of the movie is well developed and the characters are well rounded and dynamic.

On the interior of this magnificent residence, you will find plush carpets trailing every floor with various portraits adorning the walls. From the stairs to the bungalow itself everything is made of white marble!! (so awesome!) . Not only this even the furniture that was carefully handpicked blends with the interior and is of the same color! What more can we expect from SRK :) his ceilings have designs of vines and other floral patterns. Even the furniture that is present in the bungalow has golden vines painted with glass tops! The windows inside also resemble an arch like that of the outside windows!

Indoor plantations can be seen here and there. The chandeliers that hang so beautifully on most of the patterned ceilings are crystals.

“Mannat� literally means desire; just like the superstar himself the name of the house automatically eludes charm and charisma. Initially before SRK purchased Mannat, it was a heritage bungalow and a very popular tourist spot. On the year 2001 SRK purchased this bungalow from Bal Khorshed Bhanu Sanjana Trust and transformed into this majestic 6 story building which was then given the name of Mannat in 2005.

Hottest Love-Making Scenes on TV Just when we think telly is getting boring, it springs a surprise on us. There was a time when Indian television was all about tacky glitzy saris, oodles of make up and flowing glycerin (read: fake tears). Even though not much has changed, the actors and actresses are getting bolder by the day and are ready to try experimenting more. No more are the lights dimmed when the couple is kissing onscreen. With the bold makeover, our TV soap operas have undergone, we bring to you the hottest love-making scenes on TV.

1. Bidaai

One of the most popular Star Plus shows, Bidaai did have some jaw-dropping moments when the leads Sadhna and Alekh consummated their marriage. The scene between Angad Hasija and Sara Khan was explosive. It was so hot that people protested and asked the channel to pull the show off air.

2. Rang Badalti Odhani

Star One’s Rang Badalti Odhani had a very hot cosy moment between the leads Yashashri Masurkar who portrayed Khanak and Karan Tacker who played the role of Shantanu.

The couple had a hot scene post their wedding where they made love.

3. Bade Achhe Lagte Hain The love-making scene between Sakshi Tanwar and Ram Kapoor in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain was a screen scorcher. The couple locked lips in the scene too. Do you know it garnered the least TRPs because of it its content? We are guessing our Indian audience is still not ready to see their TV leads making out.

The show saw Sanaya Irani and Mohit Sehgal get down and dirty with each other in a farmhouse.

The couple is together till now in real life too. No wonder the crazy chemistry.

10. Jodha Akbar

Khushi and Arnav played by Sanaya Irani and Barun Sobti are one of the best onscreen couples. Their sizzling chemistry grabbed eyeballs from the very beginning. Finally after a long wait when the couple made love onscreen in a hut, the TRPs went soaring.

8. Dill Mill Gayye

The song portrayed on Karan Singh Grover and Jennifer Winget is quite hot and did raise a lot of eyebrows because of the amazing chemistry the couple shared.

Believe it or not, Karan was dating his other co-star Shraddha Nigam then and even got married to her. But as kismet might have it, he divorced her and is married to Jennifer now.

Entertainment 6. Kitani Mohabbat Hai:

Former real life couple Kritika Kamra and Karan Kundra had a sizzling scene in the serial Kitani Mohabbat Hai. The scene is set in a hut when the couple gets intimate with each other. It sure was hot!

They might not be the perfect love birds of the small screen but Samir Soni and Keerti Nagpure in Parichay—Nayee Zindagi Kay Sapno Ka have managed to touch the hearts of the audiences through their romance. Their lovemaking scene was beautiful ad heart touching.

The show is making a lot of news because of the recent love-making scene in the dream sequence between Jodha and Akbar. Do you know in real life the couple can barely see eye to eye? We wonder how they made the scene look so hot.

Freida Pinto, born in 1984, is truly destiny’s child. She did not have to enter any beauty pageants and did not have to struggle very hard, as she got some work or the other even in her beginning years. And while she may not be in the super star league in Hollywood and has not yet entered Bollywood, she still makes news and headlines wherever she goes.

The Diva from Mumbai Favored by Destiny

Slumdog Millionaire and after

In the course of her auditions for Bollywood films, she also auditioned for Slumdog Millionaire and got the part.

The film’s success catapulted this dusky beauty to fame and she was part of the cast that won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture in 2009. She was also nominated for the BAFTA as best actress in a supporting role and, as the film went to win many awards, she came into the limelight. People, Daily Telegraph and Vogue were among the prestigious newspapers/magazines that featured her, Vogue calling her the top ten stylish women in 2009. In 2012 she was in the list of People’s Most Beautiful at Every Age. Recently GQ picked her as the hottest Indian woman of the century.

After Slumdog Millionaire finished filming, she studied with acting guru Barry John in Mumbai, to sharpen her acting skills, though she feels that she actually learnt a lot working with Danny Boyle. She has also acted in movies like Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, along with Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Anupam Kher and Naomi Watts, which premiered at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival; in Julian Schnabe’s Miral; in the 2011 science fiction film Rise of the Planet of the Apes, opposite James Franco; in the 2011 fantasy-action-drama film, Immortals; in 2011 in Black Gold; and in Michael Winterbottom’s British drama Trishna in 2011 alongside Riz Ahmed. Currently she is awaiting the release of the highly anticipated Knight of Cups, alongside a host of actors including Christian Bale, Natalie Portman and Cate Blanchett. She is also working with BAFTA winner, Nick Broomfield in his film, The Catastrophist.

and making the right style statement.

Among the stylists who have worked with her are George Kotsiopoulos, one of Hollywood’s top stylists, who styled her for the red carpet at the Academy Awards for Slumdog Millionaire in an electric blue lace Dior dress. ‘Freida has a wonderful sense of personal style and has excellent taste. She is very chic, poised, intelligent and incredibly sweet,’ says George Kotsiopoulos. She along with her stylists, decides on her clothes, hair, makeup and accessories – to get the ‘look’ they want. Freida wore a gown designed

by Michael Angel for Cannes 2012 and during the course of the 11 day festival wore outfits designed by Versace, Paco Rabanne and Salvatore Ferragamo among others, invariably making it to various best dressed lists.

Her favorite designers are Marchesa, Chanel, Derek Lam, Lacroix Couture, Gaultier Couture, Roland Mouret, all big names in the fashion world. However, it is not that she always wears fancy designer clothes. Her every day clothes owe a lot to her own dress sense and the sense of style she has developed over the years while starting out her modeling career and then acting and later working with stylists. She buys her clothes from shops in London and New York and even occasionally Mumbai, her home-town. After all, she is very busy, attending functions, dinners, film festivals, parties, fashion weeks and more and she has to look good because she is widely photographed.

The Fashion Diva

More than her movies, Frieda Pinto has an impeccable sense of style and possibly the right publicist as she is always in the limelight with her designer clothes.

Like other Hollywood professionals and celebrities, she is dressed by professional stylists, who always keep her looking good

Her Love-Life

Before Slumdog happened Freida was actually engaged to her long time boyfriend, Rohan Antao, a marketing executive. They had known each other for

years and had been in a 16 month serious relationship, which was kept under wraps during the shooting of the film. During the course of the filming, Freida got close to her co-star in the movie, Dev Patel, who played the key role of Jamal in the film and is six years her junior.

As Dev and she got closer, she decided to break off her engagement to Rohan, which she did over the phone from Los Angeles.

Needless to say, he was devastated.

Over the years, from being ‘good friends’ she and Dev are now together and their relationship has already lasted many years. When Dev is in Los Angeles they live in together. When she is in London she lives with his family. Frieda has not been linked to anyone else during the course of her Hollywood journey. As both have separate careers they meet up whenever and wherever they can.

Bollywood in her sights?

Freida has had enough work in Hollywood with international producers to keep her busy with the number of her films released and under production since 2009. However, her first choice was Bollywood when she was struggling to make a name for herself and get a break, going for various auditions at the start of her career. It just so happened that her first film was Slumdog Millionaire, and after that there was no looking back. After Slumdog, she was offered some Hindi films, but was choosy about them and besides, Hollywood beckoned.

However, Bollywood has always been at the back of her mind and it seems that she is now ready to sign her first Hindi film, tentatively titled NH10, where she is to play the main protagonist, a detective.

She is in talks with Vikramditya Motwane for this film and has approved the script, penned by Navdeep Singh of Manorama Six Feet Under but has yet to sign on the dotted line. While Navdeep was supposed to direct the film, she wants Motwane to do it instead. Earlier, Shoojit Sircar had approached her for Madras Café, the film starring John Abraham, but it did not work out and Nargis Fakhri got the role.

Swastika Mukherjee Swastika Mukherjee’s Bold Scenes In Take One Raises Eyebrows In The Industry

O

ne of the most elegant and beautiful actresses, is one of those few people in the film industry who simply speaks her mind and has no qualms in admitting her sexuality. With several Hits and many more power packed performances in scores of movies, Swastika is undoubtedly the leading lady of Tollywood, who has received plenty of acclamation for her diverse roles.

A few months back, the National Award winning film- ‘Jaatishwar’ has won the leading Tollywood lady much appreciation for her performance and now her latest release “Take one”, has brought her into the limelight, once again. There is a lot of critical acclaim, gossip and uproar over the front nude scenes in the movie. But the actor remains unperturbed.

Take One – the movie in controversy is directed by Mainak Bhaumik and revolves around the MMS scandals of movie stars.

Swastika plays the role of “Doel Mitra’’ an actress whose intimate scene shoot for a foreign film goes viral one the net and creates a huge uproar. After this she faces a lot of upheavals both in her personal as well as public life. Bhaumik portrays the woman “Doel Mitra” an actress who lives

Bollywood Showtime

life on her own terms in a beautiful way and Swastika does complete justice to the role. Spontaneous, natural and completely at ease in the difficult bold scenes, Swastika has managed to gather appreciation of all movie critics throughout the industry. She dared to take up a role and scenes which many Tollywood actresses have shunned over the years. She not only takes the risk of doing such scenes but manages to do them aesthetically without a sign of vulgarity or cheap thrill.

The movie is garnering a lot of publicity primarily for the frontal nudity scenes by Swastika, something which is not so common in Bengali cinema even today. In the history of Tollywood, this is the first movie to have got a censor board certification for commercial release.

Swastika is very much unfazed with the buzz surrounding her scenes in the film.

Earlier in 2011, Paoli Dam’s nude scenes in Srilankan Director Vimukhti Jayasundara had created ripples in the industry and the actor was criticized very much for taking the bold step. The nude scene was leaked on the net and Paoli’s MMS was circulated.

This time, it is “Take One’’ which is buzzing

headlines because of Swastika’s nude scenes. Questions about the need for such scenes, Swastika’s decision to enact and similar stories are the headlines of gossip magazines since weeks.

The actor remains comfortable with the way the scenes have been shot and has no regrets. She questions the double standards of those people who raise a chaos regarding the scenes yet they are ones who enjoy it the most behind the doors. She says that she only requested her director that she does not want the scene to be circulated as a MMS as happened with Paoli Dam’s “Chatrak’’

In Take one’ Swastika Mukherjee enacts the character of “Doel Mitra” and has her own daughter Anwesha making her debut on the screen as her reel daughter. The actor has no inhibitions in going for full frontal nudity. She is very proud of her body and has no qualms in admitting that she doesn’t care about what the buzz is all about. She says that the scenes have been shot aesthetically and it does not titillate vulgarity. It is a good change to see that Tollywood is finally opening up to adult themes and handling them sensitively. Director Mainak Bhaumik who has won accolades for his innovative approach to different subjects attempts a very sensitive topic in “Take One”.

Swastika Mukherjee’s Bold Scenes In Take One Raises Eyebrows In The Industry

Bollywood

It is not that it is only now that these bold themes are getting explored in Bengali Film Industry. Tollywood is going through a major renaissance in the last few years all thanks to the new directors such as Srijit Mukherjee, Mainak Bhaumik,Q, Suman Mukhopadhay who are Portraying sensitive serious issues in their movies with a more mature approach and they are doing ground breaking work in Bengali Cinema.

Earlier there used to be a major hassle regarding bold scenes in movies owing to strict Censorship rules. But in contemporary times bold issues are dealt in a very mature manner and Actors are opening up without any inhibitions. Mainak Bhaumik has always handled sex themes in his movies be it “Amra” ,his first Sex comedy or “Bedroom’’.Actors and Actresses these days have no qualms in going for sex scenes if they are integral for the movie. The Censor board is also to be applauded for having a liberal approach. It is not that Bold Scenes are coming in the limelight only now, they were also there earlier for Actresses like Churni Ganguly enacted the role of a flat chested woman in “Shunyo-EBuke”.

Sexuality has always been an integral part of Movies and even Satyajit Ray hinted at the intricacies of a sexual liaison by portraying a kiss between the protagonists in “Ghaire Baire”. The major difference between the earlier cinema and the contemporary cinema is that times have changed and the Censor Authority as well as the audience has adopted a liberal outlook. Sex is not included to titillate, it is included only when it justifies the Script. No Doubt in the fact that Having Bold Scenes surely lures the audience to the cinema halls but the truth remains that Sex alone can’t sell a film. These days there are movies being made like “Chitrangada”, “Arekti Premer Golpo” and “Memories in March’ which deal with sensitive sexual relationships in a different manner.

It is great to notice that Tollywood is finally coming of age in dealing with bold, realistic topics.

But it is important for the filmmakers to realize that fact that instilling sex scenes alone can’t guarantee the success of a movie.

The real substance lies in the story. So Bengali Cinema’s Coming of age is a good Sign because Sex is a very realistic phenomenon of Everyday lives And Movies are indeed a true reflection of the society we live in.

8 Most Sensuous Saree songs in history of Bollywood Saree can be one of the most glamorous outfits in a women’s wardrobe.

Our Bollywood divas are often seen donning a colorful chiffon saree, romancing the hero, in picturesque foreign locales. Here is our collection of ‘ten hottest saree numbers’ we have witnessed on the Indian screens.

5 Gale Lag Ja

Akshay Kumar with Katrina Kaif is a sensational pairing. The duo raised the temperatures in this erotic number from De Dana Dan.

Katrina’s tall frame and well defined curves made her look breathtaking in all the sexy sarees she wore in Gale Lag Ja.

What if Films of Today Were Remade with Stars of the Bygone Era Vicky Donor The Aryan Putra of yesteryears, epitome of flamboyance and the man with genes every Bollywood aspirant wished he had, Shammi Kapoor would be the perfect candidate to play the role of Ayushman and who else could be better to play his Bengali wife than his Kashmir Ki Kali co-star Sharmila Tagore

Rockstar This is the film I am most excited about and which would probably fit more in the 50s than it did in the 2000s and I want Guru Dutt to play and direct it just the way he did in Pyaasa. There is so much in common already, a broken heart, lost family ties, socially misfit and a pretty muse, although a much better actress, someone like Waheeda Rehman.

Krrish 3

Ever so dashing Dev Anand is fit to play India’s Batman cum Superman cum Goku. He will win over hearts with his charming smile and will kill the enemies by his evergreen swagger.

Producer won’t have to worry about spending too much on the costume, a pullover or jacket with a hat and a muffler would do. Nargis will be the ideal replacement of Priyanka Chopra.

Student of the Year If it were 80s and you had to look for two stud-boys and a pretty girl to remake SOTY, you will need Rishi Kapoor as Varun, Anil Kapoor as Sidharth and Sridevi as Alia. You don’t have to worry about dance battles coz’ Rishi Kapoor is a pro at that, just don’t show Anil Kapoor coming out of the sea with just his undies on.

Dil Chahta Hai

The coolest film of our generation will rock in the coolest decade ever, i.e. the 60s. Again the energetic and brat character played by Aamir would go to Shammi Kapoor, cute lover boy’s character of Saif will go to the then young Dharamendra and the calmness that was nicely essayed

Asking Questions That Matter

Be a Detective in Your Marriage Research indicates that approximately 60 percent of married couples are unhappy. It may be that for many people, being polite outweighs their own personal need to understand their spouse and be understood in return. For others it may be that there are gender restrictions within the marriage and both spouses suffer silently as a result. Sometimes the problem is a lack of enthusiasm for the marriage on one or both sides. Whatever the reason for marital strife, one thing is for sure; communication is a big part of the solution.

Babe, We Need To Talk When one partner says “Babe, we need to talk” the other usually begins to panic. “We need to talk” is one of the most loathed phrases in a marriage along with “I’m fine” and “Not tonight dear”. Possible wrong doings begin to fly through your head and you wonder how much of it could be blamed on the dog.

This panic is completely unwarranted most of the time as it indicates one person’s willingness to discuss a sore subject. Being willing to discuss problems as they come up is an admirable trait in a spouse and if appropriately received by the other partner can lead to a very happy marriage. When brought up at the right time, a comment from your partner should be

taken in and examined for an opportunity.

For example, your partner says “Honey, I really wish you would sort the mail instead of hoarding it in the kitchen.”

It would be ideal if you could receive the criticism and follow it up with a question.

You could ask “Why does that bother you Love?” and listen without judgment. The response could be “The mail takes up a drawer in my kitchen that I could really use!” in which case you should praise the universe because the solution to your spouse’s problem is so easy. Just move the mail pile or better yet attempt to go paperless so that there isn’t any junk mail to move!

Sometimes a resolution is not so easy to spot however and the “talk” could become an all out argument. Arguing is par for the course in all relationships because (surprise!) we aren’t robots – everyone has their own needs and wants that don’t always align with the needs and wants of their partners. Arguing isn’t the problem for most marriages; it is the word vomit that sometimes occurs when emotions are running high. Having a short memory is essential to navigating through words of anger and identifying the real issues. This is where the questions come in.

Discuss your last 8-12 hours: “How did your employee review go today?”

“Did you enjoy the park with kids?”

“How was lunch with your mother?”

“How can I help make your day easier?”

Bollywood Showtime

After arguing a couple should try to figure out what the heck happened! First make sure that both parties are on the same page. Which issues were resolved and which issues resulted in an argument? How did the conversation devolve? Whose feelings were hurt and why? Was it a miscommunication and if so why?

Answering these questions honestly will make future communication so much easier if both partners also listen. Understanding the way your partner communicates is just as vital to a marriage as trust.

If you remember a particularly heated moment in an argument, both sides should take time to calmly explain their point of view and discuss any misconceptions that may be floating around. Take this scenario as an example: A wife might complain about her job to her homemaker husband looking for understanding and support. Having had a rough day himself with the kids, he may just pass over the complaint leaving his wife feeling emotionally neglected. Now neither spouse is getting what they want because both failed to communicate their real emotions.

Really listening would have been an easy way to avoid the disappointment that the fictional couple felt.

If you are busy and distracted when your partner needs you, let him or her know with a simple “I am distracted right now, but I really want to listen to you. Can we talk after the kids go to bed”? This says that you care so much that you want to focus 100 percent of your attention on your partner. You get the time you need and your spouse knows that you are there for her.

Clearly communicating expectations is really important as is checking in with your partner. When discussing how the two of you spent the last 8-12 hours, ask pointed questions like the following below: know the important things going on in your partner’s life and show that you care about those things. Other important questions are those that directly support an equal partnership and those that serve as a check-up. The best explanation that I have ever heard about effective communication comes from the book The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman.

Mr. Chapman is a marriage counselor and he describes the need for couples to constantly “check the love tank” of their partner. This means that spouses need to ask for a progress report by asking the following kinds of questions and really listening to the answer below: Though this sounds a bit cheesy and maybe a little scripted, it will become easier over time and with practice. No matter how lame you might think these questions are, they are the stuff of happy marriages.

Great partnerships begin with great communication and mountains of love. Great partnerships end when the communication stops even in the love is still there.

By always keeping your ear to the ground in terms of your spouse’s happiness, you will be letting him or her know that their needs are a priority for you and that you always have their back.

Ask for progress report with these questions “What did I do today to make you feel loved?”

“What can I do right now to make your day easier?”

“Did you get enough quality time with me today?”

“Is your love tank full?”

“What would fill your love tank honey?”

CARDAMOM Also known as Elaichi

E

laichi is a spice used in Arabic, South Asian and even Chinese traditions to add a sweet aromatic flavor to desserts, chai, curries and rice dishes.

In both Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, it has been used to treat digestion and oral health issues. Elaichi essential oil has also been found to have good antibacterial properties, and it has been used in some chewing gums to neutralize breath odors.

The most common variety of elaichi is a light green fruit pod that contains black seeds. It is native to India, Pakistan and Guatemala. There are also brown and dark brown varieties found in Sri Lanka that are often used in making gharam masala .

One tablespoon of ground elaichi contains only 18 Calories but up to 4 per cent of the daily recommended value for iron and up to 6 per cent of the daily value for fiber. Elaichi also has some magnesium , calcium and vitamin C.

Things to do with Cardamom (Elaichi) 1. Boil the whole pods with your tea, coffee or just hot water to create an aromatic hot drink with or without additional masala for a delicious treat.

2. Sprinkle ground seeds into porridge, kheer, cakes or any other dessert dish to add aroma. You may be able to reduce the amount of sugar in your recipe by a teaspoon or two, without losing flavor.

3. Chew the whole pod. Next time you are looking for a sweet or candy to freshen your breath, consider chewing on a whole elaichi instead.

Pro Tip For recipes requiring whole cardamom pods, a generally accepted equivalent is 10 pods equals 1½ teaspoons of ground cardamom. As ground seeds lose their flavor quickly, it is best to buy whole pods and grind the seeds, just before they need to be added to your favorite dish.

ARIES 21 March - 20 April

AJAY DEVGAN April 2, 1969

HOROSCOPE

The early part of March comes in softly. Mercury had been retrograde in February, so you will have time to get organized and begin making decisions again. Even so, I would like you to take a slow, watch-and-wait approach.

April is due to be a very difficult month, for two angry eclipses are coming by, April 15 and 29. Until those eclipses have spoken, you won’t quite know where you stand or which way events are going. You will be focused mainly on a relationship, in love or business, or else you will have to tend to your health.

LIBRA 23 September - 23 October

AMITABHBACHCHAN Oct 11, 1942

SCORPIO 24 October - 22 November

TAURUS 21 April - 21 May

ANUSHKA SHARMA May 1, 1988

GEMINI

SONAKSHI SINHA June 2, 1987

You had a lot going on in your career in February, and you were concentrating hard on all you had to do, but March promises to brim with social activity and be lots more fun. The Sun and Neptune are standing ready to welcome the new moon on February 28/March 1 (depending on time zone), 11 degrees Pisces, in your eleventh house of hopes and wishes, friends, and social events, so you have lots of enjoyable events shaping up that you will want to attend.

MALLIKA SHERAWAT Oct 24, 1981

22 May - 21 June This will be a big month for career progress, dear Gemini. Last month you were plagued with delays, because the planet that is in charge of your welfare, Mercury, was going retrograde. Say goodbye to those frustrations - Mercury went direct on February 28, so you can sign contracts again, and resume shopping, especially for electronic items. If you can wait a little longer to sign papers, until later this month, that would be an even better idea, for Mercury will be moving at a faster clip after March 20.

Most of March will be bright and happy for you. The Sun is now in Pisces, a fellow water sign like yours, so you are truly in your element. Best of all, the new moon of February 28/ March 1 (depending on your time zone) is in Pisces, 11 degrees, that will fall in your broadening, adventurous ninth house of foreign travel, higher learning, philosophy, religion, legal matters, publishing, and broadcasting.

LEO 23 July - 23 August

SUNIL SHETTY Aug 11, 1961

March will bring your attention to money, but this time, instead of the topic being stressful for you, the news seems to be very upbeat. An unusually sweet new moon that arrived February 28 (or soon will on March 1, depending on your particular time zone) will energize your eighth house of other people’s money. No matter what, it seems you will be pleased with the flow of events. This new moon will be in Pisces, 11 degrees, and imaginative Neptune will be conjunct this new moon.

VIRGO 24 August - 22 September

AKSHAY KUMAR Sep 9, 1967

You have just come to the most romantic moment of 2014, dear Scorpio. At the very start of the month, you have one of the most lyrical, graceful, and affectionate new moons of the year that will encourage you to find true love or to nurture and celebrate the love you have found. That new moon either came February 28, or will on March 1 (depending on your time zone), and will be your very best friend.

SAGITARIUS 23 November - 23 December

SALMAN KHAN Dec 27, 1965

You tend to work hard, Virgo, but this month may prove to you that you need not do everything yourself.

March will underscore the value of teamwork, cooperation, and partnership. March may also show you that romance can take on grand proportions if you are in love by talking about and making plans for the future. You may not have been ready before this, but now the timing seems right. If you are already married, it’s time to make more of your union by finding exciting new goals to draw up and as your life unfolds, you will see those goals met.

March will be the ideal month to tackle all your homerelated plans. If you were thinking of moving, start looking for a new space the moment March arrives. The new moon appeared on February 28 at one minute to midnight on the United States West Coast, and on March 1 for most others in different time zones. That means this month will start off with lots of fresh energy and will provide you with opportunities, many of them perfect to solve your home-related dilemma.

CAPRICORN

CANCER 22 June - 22 July

KATRINA KAIF Jul 16, 1984

This is a good month to be productive. Mercury is no longer retrograde as of February 28, so you won’t experience the cancellations, postponements, mix-ups, confusion, indecisiveness, and forgetfulness that you did in yourself and others in February. The first part of March should be quite special, and you will feel very accomplished if you stick to your plan. Let’s look at the month in detail.

HRITHIK ROSHAN Jan 10, 1974

24 December - 20 January This is the month you can break free from routine and enjoy delicious travel, dear Capricorn. The month starts with a new moon in Pisces, at 11 degrees on March 1 (or February 28 depending on your time zone), lighting your house of short distance travel, and exerting a strong influence in the first ten days, from March 1 to approximately March 10. This new moon is sweet in every way, and it will give you an opportunity to plan a romantic trip with your one-and-only to a beautiful spot near water.

ACQUARIUS 21 January - 18 February

Abhishek Bachchan Feb 5 1976

You may like March very much, for you will see a big emphasis on money but instead of getting you tense, you’ll be surprised and happy at how easily it may be for you to raise your income. This lovely trend will start with the new moon, March 1 (or on February 28 if you live on the West Coast of the US). That new moon is to light your second house of earned income, and it will receive sensational aspects from both Neptune and Jupiter, two heavy-duty planets that have a lot of influence in our solar system’s lineup.

PISCES 19 February - 20 March

Aamir Khan Mar 15, 1965

It’s birthday time, and Neptune, your governing planet, and Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, are coming to give you their warmest greetings. This will be a vital month for you, for these two planets will support the new moon in Pisces, 10 degrees, due February 28 / March 1 (depending on your time zone). This new moon will be a wonderful game changer, for it will help you in so many wonderful ways.

Perception Change Yogis and yoga practitioners rave about one of the best ways yoga has changed their lives- by changing the dimension of their perception. Yoga is like clearing a dirty glass pane, not only can you see clearly but you can actually see in a different light.

Yoga helps people to reduce the habit of magnifying issues by shifting the focus from the negative to the positive. This is another way to imbue confidence.

How Yoga Can Help With Eating Disorders

By Mulyadi Kurnia

I

t is disturbing to see so many teenage girls and even women in their 20s fall prey to the twisted concept society has in regard to beauty. In fact, even a lot of young men are influenced too. While being physically attractive is every person’s dream, why do so at the cost of your own health?

Firstly, eating disorders is more common than we think. You have girls sticking fingers and throwing up just so they won’t pack on the pounds, and aim to get gaps between the thighs and hip bones to jut out. This is not what an ideal healthy person should look like. Anorexia is a disorder and not a goal. Also according to statistics, the anorexia death rate is 12 times higher for teens.

There are many therapies that help with this disorder, but as per recent research and examples, yoga can help tremendously to combat the issue at both physical and mental levels. So how does yoga actually help?

Don’t Panic

Accepting Yourself

if you have ever experienced any of these eating disorders or even cheated on a diet with a rather heavy meal, you will know what the after effects are. Panic, guilt, self-hatred, and then the remedy- throwing up, or a pre-meal panic, what if you chomp down on this slice of cake, you will put on weight, you won’t fit into you size zero clothes anymore and then people at school will tease, call names, laugh at you. There’s always a sense of panic over what if you don’t get accepted as per society’s rule for physical beauty. This is where yoga comes in and helps to relax the mind and dissolves this feeling unless it all but dissipates.

When you are at peace with everything around you and everything inside you, you accept yourself the way you are. In fact you come to love your body and flaws. Additionally there are some body acceptance yoga asanas as well that are emotionally challenging, these asanas help to link the body with the soul. Imagine waking up to smile at yourself in the mirror, telling yourself that ‘you’re beautiful’, not being bound by the shackles of eating disorder, and being confident about who you are.

In the absence of panic, you feel calm and at peace. This healthful practice is known to help calm the mind and connect the soul with the energy around. Try doing yoga for just 30 days and then feel the difference.

You feel a part of the bigger plan, a plan where the gaps between your thighs do not matter.

Understanding What the body wants When you are in tune with your inner self, you will likely be able to ‘communicate’ with your body. You will be able to understand what your body needs, and you will be surprised how most of what the body needs is healthy. A quick example is when you are craving for a pie or something sugary, your body is trying to say that there is a deficiency of essential nutrients and that it needs fuel. Next time when you get a craving, try having a bowl of fruit salad first, and see if you still feel the craving. In short, yoga grounds the eating disorder triggers and pushes the mind to choose a healthier alternative.

Induce a sense of calm A healthier body- And of course, yoga helps to maintain an overall healthy stance for the body. You can feel your nerves opening up and your muscles stretching when you do a thorough 10 minute session.

For people who have weight issues, yoga can help to lose and maintain weight. So there is absolutely no need to worry about putting on if you are an active yoga practitioner.

Induce a sense of calm Get rid of the toxins- Yoga again helps to eliminate built-up toxins through sweat and also via urine. So essentially, this makes you a healthier person on the inside too. Don’t forget to replenish by drinking at least 2 liters of water every day.

Surimi Fish Ball

Indian cooking is kind of like cooking medicine for the soul and body! Indian food is healthy. Many of the spices in Indian cuisine have medicinal value.

Complex flavor combinations is what curry is all about. You can serve a curry as spicy as you wish it to be. A ramekin of hot chile pepper sauce served on the side is a good idea if some of the guests prefer very spicy food.

Kari means curry leaf. Curry leaf is in most Indian masala curry spice mixes. The British started calling Indian style masala by the name curry during their occupation of India. In India, curry spiced food is called masala. Curry in India refers to curry leaves and not a spice mix. There are many different definitions of the word masala in the Indian food language. Masala usually means “the basis of, or the start of.� Indian chefs realized that the word curry was easily recognized by western customers, so curry is offered as standard entree on Indian menus of the western world. If you go to India and ask for curry, then you will be offered curry

leaves. Curry leaves are black neem tree leaves.

In some Indian kitchens, there may be 40 to 60 small bowls filled with spices, coconut milk, ginger, garlic, lemon, yogurt, goats milk, bean pastes, curry powders, curry pastes, yam pastes, chile pastes, chutneys, oils, ghee and salt. The Indian chef uses spoons to add multiple seasoning combinations from the small bowls to the recipes being cooked. Some dishes are plain, but some dishes can have over thirty seasonings! Complex seasoned food and regimented cooking techniques is the marquis of Indian cuisine.

I used pre-made frozen surimi style fish balls for this recipe. Pre-made fish balls are available in Asian and Indian markets. Homemade fish balls are fairly easy to make, if you wish to make your own.

The chutney must be made a few days ahead of time, so the flavors have time to meld. Home made chutneys are the best! Pre-made chutneys from Indian markets are of nice quality too.

Both sides had their heroes after the match, with Wriddhiman Saha putting together a record-breaking performance for the losing team, as shared by Freddie Wilde: His 115 runs from 55 balls were beyond impressive, but in the end, Kolkata were just too strong, greatly aided by 94 from 50 from Manish Pandey.

Youngster Akshar Patel stole the show bowling for Punjab, completing four overs with just 21 runs allowed. Manan Vohra scored 67 runs from 52 balls, combining with Saha to set a target of 200. Yusuf Pathan and Gautam Gambir aided greatly in the middle overs of Kolkata’s innings, and the final four came off Piyush Chawla’s bat, sending his teammates into a frenzy as they celebrated their IPL 7 title.

All of those players were responsible for giving the fans one of the most exciting IPL finals we’ve ever seen. All are Indian. What did Punjab’s trio of lauded international players Glenn Maxwell, David Miller and George Bailey add? Three runs or Kolkata’s dangerous bowling duo of Morne Morkel and Sunil Narine? Eight overs, 86 runs. One wicket.

The 2014 IPL saw numerous great performances from international players, and no team rode its foreign stars more than Punjab. Maxwell led the charge early and was first in the IPL in runs scored for most of the season, ending the season ranked third with 552. Dwayne Smith and David Warner

also made the top five in scoring, with 566 and 528 respectively. Narine will end the season with the second-most wickets taken and the fourth-best economy rate, but he failed to take a single wicket in the play-offs and gave up 76 runs in eight overs.

International players make the IPL fun.

Colorful figures like Kieron Pollard draw fans to the stadiums, and as shared by Punjab’s official Twitter account, Maxwell was voted as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player: Punjab built their squad around their three international stars, while teams like Mumbai Indians have relied heavily on international players like Pollard, Lasith Malinga and Corey Anderson. All these overseas players have one thing in common: They didn’t impact the IPL final like the domestic players did.

The fans and commentators felt it too. Kolkata’s chase seemed to come under serious pressure twice: the dismissals of Robin Uthappa and Pathan.

People hardly batted an eye when they lost Ryan ten Doeschate or Shakib Al Hasan.

Unlike Punjab or Mumbai, Kolkata built their team around strong, domestic talent, and it paid off in the end. The win seemed very much in doubt when their international spin bowlers couldn’t live up to their lofty standards, but good, old-fashioned power-hitting saved the day. India may have lost the T20 World Cup final to an in-form Sri Lanka team, but make no mistake about it: India still very much rules the short form of the sport.

Popular Internet Scams You Should be Aware Of The internet is certainly full of opportunities with millions of people earning part or all of their income from it. However, for every success story there is usually a scam that fools even more people and takes their money. Understanding what is a scam and what is a legitimate offer is crucial to knowing whether to proceed when you see a new advertisement on the web. What follows are the five most popular internet scams. Even though awareness of these scams has grown tremendously over the past decade, they still rip people out of millions of dollars annually.

1

The Wealthy Nigerian Family

Easily one of the oldest and most recognized scams, the “Wealthy Nigerian Family” scam is perhaps the king of all internet rip-offs as it has fooled so many people over the years and is very widely known, yet is still being used today.

The scam is a very simple one. You get an email from a member of a “wealthy Nigerian family” who needs to get a large amount of money out of their country immediately. They transfer the money into your bank account and all you need to do is pay a few processing fees to start the process. Naturally, you’ll never see any of the money while the “fees” go to line the scammer’s pocket.

2

The Lottery Swindle

This is another “oldie, but a goodie” in that lottery swindles of this nature date back to well before the internet. Basically, you receive an email that congratulates you on winning a huge amount of money, often several

million dollars, from an overseas lottery you’ve probably never heard of before. All you need to do is pay the processing fees, which usually consist of several thousands dollars to claim the money.

First, you cannot win a lottery that you did not enter and second, any “processing” fees from a legitimate lottery are deducted from your winnings, so you pay nothing.

Yet people still get swindled from this form of scam every year.

3

The Up-Front Credit Card Fee

Credit card applications come in the snail mail and email with regularity.

But this one is generally loaded with eye-catching promises such as being able to access large amounts of money on pre-approved loans. However, there is an up-front fee for getting the credit card.

No legitimate bank or lending institution offers an up-front fee. Plus, there is no such thing as a pre-approved loan, especially one where they have not examined your credit. This is a very popular scam that takes in thousands of people

every year who pay the up-front fee and never see anything else.

4

“Phishing” for Money

5

Disaster Relief

This is arguably the most popular internet scam of them all, although the effectiveness is not quite as high as the top three. Basically, you get a very legitimate looking email from a credit card company that tries to lure you into revealing your password or other pertinent information so they can rob your credit card account blind. Remember than no legitimate company would ever send such an email, so beware.

This ugly internet scam is designed to take advantage of your good nature. Every time a major disaster strikes, such as Hurricane Katrina for example, an email is sent out asking for online donations to charities that you’ve probably never heard of. That’s because they don’t exist. Resist donating any money until you have completely checked out the organization yourself.
