Ramayan will see an interesting cast of actors. Comedy king Govinda is slated to play the role of Hanuman. Evil Lord Ravana is to be played by Tamil actor Vikram. However in the Tamil version Vikram plays the role of Rama. Mani Ratnam is on a high as the Aishwarya and Abhishek are starring in his next project after ‘Guru’, which was based on the life of industrialist Dhiru Bhai Ambani that saw this off-screen couple playing the lead role. The modernized version of Ramayan that Mani Ratnam is attempting is generating a lot of buzz in the industry. Like all classic love stories like Laila Majnu, Jodha Akbar, the theme of Mani Ratnam’s movie will be the love of Ram- Sita. The film is to be made under Ratnam’s banner Madras Talkies and will be produced by his sister Sharda

Satyam Computers' cup of woes seems to be overflowing, with news surfacing Tuesday that the software vendor has been debarred by the World Bank for alleged data theft and bribing bank officials. Fox News, a US-based broadcaster, said the World Bank has admitted to it that it had banned Satyam from all business at the bank for a period of eight years - and that the ban started in September. Satyam had allegedly installed spy software on workstations inside the bank's Washington headquarters resulting in theft of sensitive financial data, Fox News said, quoting Robert Van Pulley, the top World Bank's information security official. The debarment - the harshest sanction the world's largest anti-poverty agency has imposed on any company since 2004 - was meted out for "improper benefits to bank staff" and "lack of documentation on invoices," the broadcaster said on its website. Confirming the news to IANS, a World Bank spokesperson in N...

The sucessful team who made the superhit "Mozhi" is up with another good product in Abhiyum Naanum. The team has made sure that most of the cast of "Mozhi" is in this venture too. Prithviraj the hero of "Mozhi" has made a very special appearance in this movie. The entire movie is on a flashback mode with Raghuraman (Prakashraj) narrating the story to Sudhakar (Prithviraj). The entire movie has been well thought of in terms of the love and affection a father would shower on his daughter. The journey of the father-daughter relationship begins from the time Abhi (Trisha) is admitted to school and how she grows into a mature individual. Rahguraman's chemistry with his wife Anu (Aishwarya) is so natural that they hardly seem to put a foot wrong in their acting. In every stage of Abhi's life, the father does not change the way he thinks about her and that leads to certain comic situations in the movie. When Abhi chooses a man as her to-be life partner a...

Here is the list of top sites featuring audiences from QuantCast with Google the topper followed by Yahoo and  MSN. The numbers unveils that its going to be really tough for MSN to reach Google Status as search Engine.   A graph which displays the rough estimate on the no of US people using major search engines.

This statistics are based only on US Geographic location. Probably the search engines would have performed better in other Geographical locations.

After trying their luck with ovi, Nokia has now launched their own online backup service which also boasts of other interactive features for your Nokia mobile. http://www.nokia.co.in/mynokia is where you have to register your phone number and IMEI number, and the site will auto-detect your phone model. The website at the moment supports these models . At the moment, the service only supports contacts, calendar and notes. Bookmarks, text messages, MMS are not supported. Another provider, O-Sync.com covers more services than any of their competitors (zyb.com, the most famous). But when the service is from Nokia itself, we tend to feel that its just more reliable.

Revenge seems to be the buzz word for Ghajini.

OATMEAL COOKIES IN A JIFFY (NO-BAKE COOKIES) Christmas is round the corner and its but natural for one to get into the mood of cookies and cakes, but since I don’t have a conventional oven to bake my goodies in, I have to search for other options and yet fulfill my desire of baking those perfect cookies for my little ones.

As most you might be knowing that Internet Services from India are dependent upon a number of Submarine cables emanating from Mumbai, Chennai and Cochin. They are:   (a)    Mumbai – SWM3, SMW4, FLAG   (b)    Cochin – SAFE3   (c)    Chennai – I to I All the cables from Mumbai have gone down due to disasters under the sea (sabotage or anchor drop suspected). As a result Indian Internet services are running only on SAFE3 and I-to-I which possesses only 15% of the overall capacity from India (Broadband and DSL connections are running over Satellite connections only). This news appeared in TOI Saturday on the front page. Due to this reason, the Internet speed to Servers outside India would be extremely bad at least till the end of this month (as predicted by the news). The interconnectivity between branches would not be affected because they are dependent upon Inland network within India. Local inbound and outbound mails will flow fas...

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.. 'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom' 'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!' 'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.' 'We will accept your beliefs, and will not ques...

Director Aditya Chopra who had just directed two movies prior to Rab ne in a career spanning thirteen years, we just cannot stop admiring this individual. When he had decided to write and direct his third venture the expectations were sky rocketing and infact RNBDJ carries the tag of one of the most awaited movies of the year. The movie begins in Amristar where we see Surinder Sahni (Shahrukh Khan) a normal office going guy and his newly wedded wife Tanni (Debutant Anushka Sharma) alights from the train to start their new life. The sequences that follow indicates to the viewer on the background of their marriage and what is the level of bonding that prevails amongst the two. Shahrukh Khan then goes about his routine schedule and thats where the director has scored the maximum for portraying the lifestyle of an ordinary middle class office-goer. Tanni though reluctant in the beginning slowly gets into the groove of things and into the life of Surinder. Surinder as such a boring guy alwa...

Google has shelved the beta label for its new product chrome. Chrome is now GA released with the new version 1.0. The company who is always known for having its product in beta testing for a long time has made up its way to shelve the beta label and provide GA release in surprisingly fast manner.Chrome which hit the market in the month of september as new born baby has started to walk within 3 months of time. Distinctly Google wants the use of Chrome to grow sooner rather than later. Within span of three months the w3schools statistics measures that around 3% of the world uses chrome which is something honorable and the move to shelve beta shows that Google wanted to increase the numbers. Google has still planned to have another version as beta which they will be using it for making further developments to the chrome.

Bharatiraaja’s much awaited “Bommalattam” which was in the making for three years has finally hit the screens and for the viewer who has got a little bit of interest left in the movie has got more disappointments than anything at the end of the movie. One wonders how did a director with the caliber he has in handling the sentimental rural subject becomes a cropper in choosing such a naive and a stupid subject. Though the director claims that this movie is based on a real-life happening, the viewer fails to understand the logic behind choosing this subject to be made with Nana Patekar in the lead. The movie begins with Director Rana (Nana Patekar) conversing with his new find heroine suggesting to the viewer that this movie might be a take on the sensational casting coup prevalent in the film industry. The screenplay also moves towards that direction which makes one suspect Rana as a womanizer. The movie also has Kirushna (Debutant Rukmani) around whom the movie revolves and Rana is so ...

Nesagee Cinema’s latest offering “Poo” is an adaptation of the short story “Veyyilodu Poi” written by S. Tamizhselvan . Director Sasi who had given hit films like Sollamale, Roja Kootam and Dishyum has tried his hand in a story that is very realisitic and rustic in nature. The credit has to be given to the director for choosing such a subject but when it comes down to the screenplay a lot is left to be desired especially when the final product falls in the genre of commercial cinema. Mari (Debutant in tamil cinema “Parvathy”) is head over heels in love with her maternal uncle’s son Thangarasu (Srikanth) right from her childhood and her ambition in life is to marry thangarasu. The director had decided to give the viewer a realistic potrayal of the mindset of a village girl who spends most of her time thinking about her sweetheart. The screenplay revolves mainly around Mari that the movie literally stands out for the performance of the new comer Parvathy. The actors in the movie have li...

Section 49-O of the Constitution of India In the constitution, as per the 1969 act, section"49-O",  a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone! Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O". What will happen if I say “No Vote”: If the number of No VOTEs is larger than the number of votes by which a candidate has won, then 1. The polling would be cancelled 2. There will be a re-polling 3. The candidature of all the contestant would be cancelled, and the party have to find new contestants. Fearing these consequences, the strong politicians in India have all these days made sure the election commission never reveals such a section to the public. Even a National Newspaper like “The Hindu” published an article on this, but I would say the impa...

I don’t know how true this is. I had got this article through email. Looks more like a tit-for-tat kind of reaction from Pakistan. We never know how much of these allegations are true, or if they are made to just cover up the terror. Read on Islamabad has prepared a list of some 35 top terrorists, involved in a number of terror activities in Pakistan and is set to hand over the names to Delhi seeking an early arrest and handing over of the accused to Pakistan. According to highly authentic sources, the list has been prepared by the Pakistan Foreign Office and the Ministry of Interior, with the assistance of police and intelligence authorities, in the backdrop of the investigations of different incidents of terrorism and sabotage in different parts of the country. The list was actually prepared many weeks ago but was not given to Indian authorities with the intentions of gearing up peace process. But, the sources say, now, after India has failed to handle the situation sensibly an...

Stage of investigation is going on. Kasab has told police that they were sent with a special mission aimed at Israelis to avenge the atrocities on Palestinians.

Amir Azam Kasav, also known as Mohammad Ajmal, Mohammed Amin Kasab, so confident in the picture above. It was taken when he went into the Mumbai train station (CST) in order to kill as m...

There is a myth that hookah smoking is safer than smoking cigarettes because the hookah smoke is filtered through water before it is inhaled. But, recent studies have found that hookah smokers actually inhale more nicotine than do cigarette smokers because of the massive volume of smoke they inhale. Hookah -also called narghile, sheesha and goza is a device that has been used for centuries in the Middle East and Asia to smoke tobacco. Now, hookah bars and cafes are popping up across the city fueled by the growing popularity of hookah smoking among teens and young adults. Now-a-days, every cafe keeps hookah stands. It is quite common for us to go to cafe coffee day or mocha and smoke hookah after college. Its something we do when we hang out with friends, says 19-year-old hookah regular, Sagar Deshpande Although, many believe that the water in the hookah filters throws out all the "bad stuff" that the tobacco smoke contains. However, its just a myth. According to a recent...

  It’s about an Atlanta based swami named Selvam Sidhar, also called Dr. Commander Selvam (though his real name is apparently Annamalai?), who the reporter finds to be a fraud. There’s also a second part I would strongly recommend here, where the reporters went undercover to book a “beer bash and barbecue” in the Temple’s main hall, and Commander Selvam readily agreed to have meat and alcohol served on the premises. (That by itself seems like a big no no to me.) After the Fox reporters called the next day to “out” themselves, big banners reading “Hindus Only Allowed — No Trespassing” went up around the temple. I’m not really sure what to think of this. On the one hand, the pattern of complaints from former employees, former Pandits, and patrons of the Hindu Temple of Georgia does strongly suggest that Commander Selvam is crooked. But some of the footage they use, showing his house (heavily mortgaged), and his car, isn’t by itself an issue for me. If anything, the $900,00...

This is a master piece.. If you have not read it take the time to read it now. If you have read it take time to read it again! GEORGE CARLIN (He recently died) Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.. A Message by George Carlin: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much,...

Linguswamy directed Paiyya which was to feature "Paruthiveeran" fame Karthi and Nayanthara in the lead has started to have its share of problems. First it was the hero’s turn who was stuck with the shooting of never ending Selvaraghavan’s “Aayirathil Oruvan” where he sports a beard and was asked not to shave it as it would affect the continuity of the film. Nayanthara who was signed for a whooping Rs.1.25 crores had given priority dates for this film which never went on floors due to non-availability of the hero. It is been said that nayan had waited for three months for Paiyya and then decided to call it quits. The possible replacement for Nayanthara is rumoured to be Trisha.
