Another actress-sportsman affair bites the dust. The break-up came to the fore during the Sunburn Festival that was held in Goa a few days back, where to everyone’s surprise, the duo completely ignored each other.
Says an eyewitness, “We all were surprised to find Neha and Ritwik studiously avoiding each other at the event.”
A friend of Neha confirms that the two have indeed broken up. “The relationship didn’t work because Neha kept postponing the marriage on some pretext or the other.” The friend adds, “It’s true that Neha had agreed to marry Ritwik but she didn’t share his enthusiasm as far as marriage was concerned.”

Dr.Kiran Bedi, IPS Officer is a role model to the women of substance:
- · According to Kiran Bedi , “My concept of a modern woman is a liberated woman. Educated or not, economically independent or not, such a woman is capable of taking her own decisions and standing by them, and-whether she suffers from them or not-she does not look for a shoulder to weep on.” Even so, she says, women “need more quality education and much more vocational training to become truly empowered.” Property ownership is another key to empowerment. “With ownership (or joint ownership),” she says, “a man cannot drink away the family’s property, or sell it and leave the woman and children on the street.· Accomplishing that goal has become the number one priority of the National Commission for Women in India, but the government continues to drag its feet. Political parties must come together in support of this program as well as in support of family planning and more equitable educational opportunities. If they do not, the next generation will not have enough schools, teachers, transportation, health care, housing, or work. Such a situation is a recipe for civil unrest.” For India as a whole, Kiran says, “the key to change lies in the empowerment of village women-the largest percentage of women in India-but change in rural areas is agonizingly slow in coming.”
· Empowerment is related to population. “India is a rich country and should be a beautifully developed country,” Kiran says. “If population had been controlled twenty years ago there would be surplus rather than scarcity, and current growth would not be held captive by the ever-present need to feed new mouths. Women must learn and be allowed to say, ‘No! I don’t want any more than this.’ When that day arrives, daughters will be seen to be as much of an asset as sons, because educated daughters will be as equally capable to take care of parents in their old age as sons. Therefore, economically empowered women are crucial in the struggle to shape a new India.”
· In 1994, backing up her commitment to support reform in several areas, Kiran created the India Vision Foundation, a registered nongovernmental organization designed to carry out projects in the fields of prison reform, drug abuse prevention, empowerment of women, assistance to the mentally disabled, and sports promotion.
· Kiran, who has lived most of her life in the public view, has become a role model for Indian women-the disadvantaged, the marginalized, and the voiceless. Many believe that she literally embodies the struggle for gender equality. She has constantly had to fight against the commonly accepted bias that she is, after all, only female. She has had to battle systems that codify the dehumanization of women, and cultures that are all too willing to toss the talents and potential contributions of women on the rubbish dump. Kiran’s “crimes” have included functioning as an equal, speaking the truth as she saw it, having and implementing original ideas, working hard, and garnering success. And her lack of interest in “playing the game,” within a service in which professionalism has been replaced by favouritism, has been costly both professionally and personally. Although she has realized her childhood dream to “count for something,” her path has not been easy or without the need for sacrifice.
· Even her achievements and awards for service fuel controversy. Some, in looking at her history, see a dedicated and successful officer. Others, generally from among the ranks of the privileged and powerful, see an uppity woman-a narcissistic, publicity-hungry, regulation-flaunting, self-serving, rogue officer who constantly needs to be kept in her place.
· There is no need to say anything specific about this great Indian,” says Gulzar, “She won the Magasaysay Award for her work among prisoners. She has shown what a police officer should be like to our country. She is an icon and a model for all Indian women. We are proud of her because of her many-splendour personality. Whichever function she graces, she adds enlightenment and humour to it. Hers is truly an awesome presence.”
· The first woman IPS officer of India was denied the post of the Commissioner of Police, Delhi. Known for her dedication, she changed the face of Tihar prison as IG, Prisons. She is known for her outstanding work as Police Advisor in the UN peacekeeping department.
· Kiran Bedi, New Delhi’s renowned Inspector General of Prisons, described her presence at Asia Plateau as `a pilgrimage fulfilled’. She had been the first woman recruited to the Indian Police Force, in the 1970s, and when supervisor of Asia’s largest prison, in New Delhi, had introduced Gandhian philosophy and practice. This had dramatically.
· Whatever the outcome, her commitment to family planning, prison reform, women’s emancipation, and education for independence will continue.
· As Kiran Bedi likes Anne Dresskell’s saying “If you look out to do something, it is always possible.”

Amul Star Voice of India
And the winner is……
· On 24th November, 2007, in a jam packed auditorium named, Andheri Sports complex, Mumbai a spectacular event was held to choose the First Amul Star Voice Of India (ASVOI) and the coveted trophy was won none other than the shy, Punjab da putar Ishmeet Singh Sodhi along with 3 yrs contract with Big music and a Chevorlet car.
· Throughout the show, the non-bias host of the show, Shan kept the spectators under invariable ambiguity as he was announcing the statistics in regard to both of the contestants from south, east and west zone and all Harshits’ fans were apparently rejoicing as they visualised Harshit as the apparent frontrunner. But Shan had indicated that the votes form Northern Zone would undeniably make the discrepancy.
· All the 10 besmisals gave a dazzling performance .Among the Bemisaal Baraah, Toshi has already sung for Salman Khan in an untitled film, Irfan has got chance in Mukesh Bhat’s film, Abhaas has worked with Aadesh Srivastav and has also sang a jingle and Sumitra Iyer has sung for Rima Sen in the film Mere Khwabo Mein Jo Aaye.
· The Jury award went to Abhaas . Abhilasha (Alka’s pet) won a special prize of a car given by some trust.
· The dazzling Madhuri Dixit, togged up in a peach shiffon sari with golden work walked up to the show to enhance the spirits of the two finalists. She later seated herself with her husband in the audience. Later Lata Mangeshkar graced the occasion to proclaim the conqueror of the show.
· Lataji rewarded diamond studded ‘swaralaya’ watches to both the contestants which is her brand label. She informed that the watches have been personally designed by her and her sister Usha with the melodious needles.
· Many starlets from the serials of Star Plus were present in the event to witness the show.
· Both Harshit and Ishmeet gave away performance solo and duet and also with Shan. The number given by Shan on the well-popular number Suhanalla from Fanna was indeed a amazing song as usual.
· Throughout the show, everybody kept guessing that Harshit will go away with the trophy, but in the conclusion, it was Lataji who broke the trepidation and announced the name of Ishmeet as the winner, that unquestionably was an immense disbelief to the fans of Harshit.
· Ishmeet is as worthy as anybody else. He has a very matchless voice perfect for passionate songs. He still stayed on the stage, in spite of a lot of pitiful mockery from some of the mentors.
· Ishmeet has been honoured with the title of Young Sikh Star of Punjab by a NGO Guru Gobind Singh Study Circle. He will receive this honour at the Golden temple from the SDP President. He has already signed for Punjab’s youth icon for Sonata watches Yuva range.
Congratulations to Ishmeet for his novel accomplishment!

Priyanaka Chopra Is A Superwoman
The actress has teamed up with Virgin Comics to create a new superhero character for comic books, animation and games.’I love cartoons and animation, so being able to create my own original superhero with Virgin’s amazing group of artists and storytellers is a dream come true. I hope it will capture the imagination of a new generation of Indian youth,’ an excited Priyanka said of the venture.
It
came as no surprise when Shimit Amin’s Chak De! India, a gritty tale of
Indian women hockey players that also starred 90 Australian players and
over 9,000 Australian extras, won the Best Film Award at the 5th
Australian Indian Film Festival gala night in Sydney on Thursday.
Shimin also thanks Australians for accepting to lose in the final match
in the film. “They were gracious and sportsmanlike in their defeat.”
The Sydney festival, which has writer and director Yash Chopra as its
patron, is attended by over 40,000 people each year. This year’s
screenings include Cheeni Kum, Dhoom 2, Eklavya, The Namesake and Laaga
Chunari Main Daag.
Indian heartthrob Akshaye Khanna received the Best Performance Award
for his role in Gandhi My Father at the glittering ceremony hosted for
the first time at the Museum of Contemporary Arts, situated on the
Harbour foreshore overlooking the iconic Opera House.
The awards were chosen by an esteemed group of Australian film critics,
including Peter Thompson (Showtime), Margaret Pomeranz (ABC TV At The
Movies), Nell Schofield (Channel 9 Sunday Show), Marc Fennell (Triple
J), Adrienne McKibbons (Metro Magazine) and Ian Taylor (ABC TV).
Back home, Chak de! India has won applause from audiences and critics
alike. “I am encouraged to do something different. Chak de! India has
been great for Indian audiences at home and abroad,” Amin said.
