Let go of your complaining Throughout the day we could potentially find countless things to complain about, the weather, the traffic, the service we got at a restaurant but how does this constant whinging make things any better for us? Does it make things better for us? Does is make us happier? Or does it just put a downer on our mood and make us feel u

Last year Baba Siddiqui’s  iftaar  bash in Bandra was most talked about thanks to the warm hug exchanged by warring Khans. Will we have a  déjà vu  moment this year too? Aditya Chopra and his missus Rani Mukerji will host this year’s first  iftaar  party and we’re certain this one will be one helluva star-studded affair. Not only because the Chopra’s are known for their lavish parties, but also because Aditya and Rani share a great rapport with all three Khans of Bollywood. So, will we have Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan under the same roof exchanging some warm bear hugs? Even better, will we see the two Khan finally make up and be back to being friends. Last time Farah Khan played the peacemaker and got  SRK and Sallu to patch up  during her wedding, will Rani and Aditya’s party be another occasion where the duo will extend an olive branch and make peace with their past? Last year saw two momentous hugs between the  Kick  hero and the  Happy New Year  actor. One wa

There are a lot of puzzled expressions on people’s faces when it comes to the subject of the late Osama Bin Laden and why the White House has not authorized the release of any pictures of the body. Photographs and video were released of Saddam Hussein’s hanging, as well as post-mortem pictures of his criminal sons, Uday and Qusay, after Delta Force took them out.  Why not release a few pictures of Public Enemy #1 to prove that he is dead and show the world what happens when you take on the US of A? Matt Bissonnette, one of the SEAL Team Six operators on the raid, partially outs the reason in his book, No Easy Day.  The book reads, “In his death throes, he was still twitching and convulsing. Another assaulter and I trained our lasers on his chest and fired several rounds. The bullets tore into him, slamming his body into the floor until he was motionless” (No Easy Day, Chapter 15). But this is perhaps the most measured and polite description that one could give of how operator

The actor who is currently abroad shooting for the Zoya Akhtar film never misses a chance to click fan photos Ranveer Singh  is known in the industry for his  bindaas  and whacky humour.  The actor is as happy go lucky as they make ‘em and he never disappoints his fans and how! The actor never says no to a getting clicked with his loving fans. Recently in Istanbul Ranveer was faced with adulation by his fans and many of them wanted a piece of the actor! Ranveer humbly posed with his fans and was all smiles for them. What we love about Ranveer’s fan selfies is that the actor never strikes a cliched pose. Instead he would always make a dramatic pose to make the picture all the more memorable! Well what can we say, have a picture clicked with us too sometime, what say Ranveer?

Messi celebrates his goal against Bosnia and Herzegovina Back in 2006, when the FIFA mega event took place on German soil, Argentina boasted a  swashbuckling squad comprising with the likes of Xavier Zanetti, Gabriel Heinze, Estaben Cambiasso etc. Amongst them was a 19 year old prodigy who had shown glimpses of his hidden talent with Barcelona and was tauted as a future best player. That boy was none other than Lionel Messi. The then Argentine coach Jose Pekerman was highly impressed by Messi's talent and handed him a chance to showcase the same at football's biggest stage, the World Cup. It did not take long as in their 2nd group game against Serbia and Montenegro, Messi came in as a substitute in the 75th minute and scored his first ever goal at the World Cup, 2 minutes from time to round off a 6-0 thrashing of the European minnows. Thereon,the expectations soared and he had to face the prospect of emulating Argentina's all time great, Diego Maradona.  How

Anti-graft crusader and veteran social worker  Anna Hazare  on Wednesday said that there is no evidence of Gujarat chief minister  Narendra Modi  being communal. However, he said that he cannot support the BJP leader because he is associated with a political party. Addressing media persons, here on Wednesday, he said, “The purpose of his ‘Jantantra yatra’ is to bring back democracy in its true spirit and force the government to introduce the Lokpal Bill”. Referring to the large number of scams involving the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, he said Prime Minister  Manmohan Singh  has no right to continue in his post, and he should resign on moral grounds. “When the multi-crore coal scam took place, he (PM) was also holding the additional charge of the coal ministry,” said Hazare. Castigating the political parties, he said the Parliament is full of “corrupt people and criminals”. He said Prime Minister should be elected directly by the people stating that people mu

The  Student of the Year  director shares about the respect he has for Shahrukh Khan “I met  Shah Rukh  first, but Gauri was always my friend. With him (Shahrukh) it was never friendship, but reverence.  Gauri  was my pal, my friend, my lifeline and nothing can ever change that. With Shah Rukh , there is always a line that you do not cross as you would not with your elder brother. If he walks into a room, I stand up and I will not sit till he sits. I will never call him if I don’t like a film. If I like his film I gush. I don’t give him opinions, I hear his. I don’t give him advice, I listen to his. It’s a one-way relationship. I nod in approval and am very respectful of him. He and my father were friends and they had a connection.” - Karan Johar
