Madhuri Dixit is to emerge with the Bachchans during the North American leg of The Unforgettable Tour that kicks off at The Rogers Centre in Toronto on July 18, 2008.
“For Madhuri, it’d be the easiest thing in the world for her to join the concerts in the US as she is based there,” revealed a close friend of the Bachchans .
Besides the Bachchans (Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai) other Bollywood faculty that will be a part of the whole expedition includes Bipasha Basu, Ritesh Deshmukh and the duo of Vishal-Shekhar.
Regardless of plunging the tour as a brain child of Amitabh Bachchan, Wizcraft, which is supervising the the tour, is not ready to jeopardy relying on just the Bachchans, Bipasha and Ritesh to drag in the crowds, sentient of their boundaries as live entertainers.
Other Bollywood stars who have been roped in to dapper up the tour contribution at other chosen places include Kareena’s beaus, Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan(past and present..lol..)
Elephants have been known to draw using sticks and other things found in jungles before so this isn’t something very new. But still if you look at the motor skills of this particular elephant its just mindblowing he even draws a flower, just imagine drawing with your nose? its just spectacular.
An unfortunately managed photo-shoot at the Bowmanville Zoo, Toronto to erect circulation by presenting how bizarre ancient Indian martial arts can be, turned out to be very fatal for Indian Martial Art Trainer Gitanjali of Kerala .
The Indian trainer was knocked over by a lion during the photo shoot at the Zoo . She broke four ribs and a bloodied lung.
“To be honest, the sensation I have is a great deal of gratitude to be alive,� Gitanjali Kolanad said the bedridden trainer.
Since the commencement, the 180 kilogram beast proved mischievous and not completely in command of of its two minders.
Kolanad, 54, practices the ancient, and perceptibly feeble, Indian martial art of Kalaripayat, formed after the actions of such animals as the lion, elephant, wild boar and peacock. The magazine opted she pose with a lion. Next time, she might just tell them where to get off, and choose a peacock instead!
A video of the session shows Leo first knocking over editor Sonia Verma. She picks herself up and smiles. He next paws the legs of photographer Richard Lautens. Off-camera, he also took a swipe at the legs of art director Spencer Wynn.
The 3-year-old lion was two-faced in close proximity when an unmindful Kolanad was reaching into her actions. Still imperfect to leap, the animal jumped up and fell on her, knocking the breath out of her, injuring her left lung and infringing four left ribs.
It was not an assail, the witnesses said. The lion’s mouth was not open and Kolanad was not dented. The Bowmanville Zoo had no comment on the incident.
Focus is key in Kalaripayat, which bases its movements on the graceful control of animals. It’s a constant lesson in focal point. When you lose your focus, you instantaneously get hit.
In the video, one attendant kicks the otherwise obedient beast in the neck while the other pulls on Leo’s chain. The lion takes a second, abortive attack at Kolanad as she lies breathless, before he is escorted out the door.
Incapable to work for the past month and still in pain, Kolanad said she feels on the road to recovery.
This shows that there are no limits to human stupidity like performing before a dangerous beast at the cost of one’s life!!!

Security cameras caught a strange case of child abuse in a car wash bay at the Magical Car Wash in Orlando. They show a woman spraying a toddler with a high pressure hose while another woman watches. The footage shows the toddler attempt to run away, but she is grabbed and pinned to the wall as she is prayed on the legs, back and even her face. The manager of the car wash didn’t see the abuse until she watched the footage, but she did hear the little girl crying after the incident. She alas heard the woman state, “You’re going to learn to respect me. You don’t treat me bad. You don’t mistreat me; I’m your mother.” Footage also shows the girl being stripped naked, while the two women grabbed a towel and put her back in the car. Once investigators locate the women, they said the mother will likely face child abuse charges.
While I certainly agree that this hose would not be sufficient to do permanent harm to the kid’s skin, it is still certainly strong enough to cause a very high level of pain at that range, much more than a child that age should endure. Children feel pain much more intensely than adults do.
A recent US study revels that forgiveness does not come in natural for both sexes, but males find it difficult to forgive than females. In forgiveness-related studies conducted by the US-based Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, gender differences between men and women time and again came into existence.
Forgiveness not only mean forgetting, condoning or excusing on bad things happened. But one has to acknowledge it and then let it go, along with the load of irritation and hatred.
Another previous study has revealed that forgiveness may be good for ones health as holding a complaint appears to affect the cardiovascular and nervous systems. According psychologist Julie Juola Exline, men find it difficult to forgive compared to women do, who conducted the present study between 1998 and 2005 with more than 1,400 college students.
Nevertheless, it is found that men become less merciless if they develop compassion toward an offender.
The researchers, however, found that both sexes are more forgiving when they see themselves as capable of committing a similar action, the Science Daily online said.

Yesteryear stalwart, actress Manorama passed away in Mumbai on February,15. She was last seen in Deepa Mehta’s film Water. She was popular with her comic and negative roles. She had suffered a stroke six months ago, and after that only her death news alerted Bollywood, we found that only few people attended her funeral. It seems she did not leave any immediate family behind her as she was staying with her mother, her mother died long back. In 1926 she started of her career as a child artist, she did 150 films. Junoon was the film she did with Mahesh Bhatt, after that a long gap she worked in Water.
It is a sorry state of affairs that in Bollywood, one is recognized and branded only when they are in eminence. After the illumination of affluence and opulence is extinguished you are a faceless and anonymous someone. Many celebrities died an unidentified and mysterious death like Mehmood, Pravin babi, Lalita pawar, Nadira etc. are a fewer examples. A celebrity is in the glare of publicity only when they acquire oodles of wealth and towering silhouette acquaintances and contacts , after your passage to the everlasting and perpetual world, a few close friends may choose to attend the funeral. A heartful homage to Manorama from BestDesi.com.
