I drew inspiration from Shakira, says Katrina

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif says she drew inspiration from pop star Shakira for the sizzling item song “Shiela Ki Jawani” from her upcoming film “Tees Maar Khan”.

When asked by reporters here about comparisons of her dance in the superhit number with that of Shakira, she said she can only dream of such comparisons.

“I can only dream of such comparisons. To be very frank, I drew inspiration from her. If my dance in the song ‘Shiela ki Jawani’ reminds the viewers of Shakira, it’s a huge reward for me,” said Katrina Kaif, who was in Kolkata with her “Tees Maar Khan” co-star Akshay Kumar Saturday for the promotion of the film.

She was all praises for director Farah Khan and gave her the credit for the grand success of the song.

“We have worked hard for the song. But the credit goes to Farah and her conceptualisation of the song. She is a brilliant choreographer,” the actress said.

“Tees Maar Khan”, directed by Farah, is slated to release Dec 24. It has already hit the headlines for its scorching item song “Shiela Ki Jawani” featuring Katrina.

Asked about her role, Katrina said she is not so bold in the film as it seems from “Shiela Ki Jawani”.

“My role is of an aspiring actress. She is not so very aggressive as it looked in the song. She is very naive and sweet. She is the girlfriend to Akshay in the film. She lands herself into trouble because of her own stupidity. It’s a fun kind of a character,” the actress said.

The movie revolves around Tarbez Mirza Khan, a criminal played by Akshay, and his girlfriend Anya played by Katrina who gets the job of robbing antiques worth Rs.500 crore from a heavily guarded moving train. The film is an action comedy.

Akki and Sallu tortures Kat!

Well, we are talking about the sets of ‘Tees Maar Khan’. It is known that the Tees Maar Khan had a song that features trio, Salman, Akshay and Katrina. The song goes on with the wordings Wallah Re Wallah and it is a qawwali disco number. Katrina says that she was badly ignored and even tortured by Salman and Akshay in the sets. “They royally ignored me and I would keep asking Farah if I could leave the sets and go home,” says Kat.

The actress further says that the duo plays pranks on her and she finally bears all that. “I had to constantly remind them that I am not a guy and that they should treat me like a lady.” However, Kat finally agrees that she had a great blast shooting with both Salman and Akshay.

"Last year we grew at 7.4 percent, this year I am confident that the economy will grow at 8.5 percent, and next year, we hope to return the economy to a sustained growth of 9-10 percent," the prime minister added. 

Saina Nehwal blames pressure for Asian Games flop

 India's world number three shuttler saina nehwal blamed the pressure she placed on herself after flopping out of theasian games at the quarterfinal stage.

Nehwal, who clinched commanwelth gamesgold in new delhi last month and is the only Indian player to have captured a Super Series trophy, crashed 8-21, 21-8, 19-21 to Hong Kong'syip pui yin on Thursday.

"It just wasn't my day, maybe my expectations were too high because I really wanted to win this," said from the 20-year-old from hydrabad

"I felt under pressure."

With millions watching at home in india, Nehwal said she never really recovered from a bad start.

"I had a slow start, I was not defending very well and was not moving well on court. She was hitting very hard, while I could not take control and made a lot of errors," said Nehwal, adding Yip had "improved a lot".

Internet Explorer is THE MOST Secure Web Browser… Who'd Have Thought That!

A report compiled by security company Bit9 has named the “dirty dozen” web browsers with the most discovered vulnerabilities, and the results, which have been posted by NeoWin come as something of a, well let’s face it, a major surprise.

Bit9′s CEO, Harry Sverdlove said “A variety of vulnerability types – including buffer-overflow and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities – impacted these applications.  Some exploits of vulnerabilities could allow attacks to compromise the user’s desktop entirely and perhaps pose a risk for the entire organization. A list like the annual ‘Dirty Dozen’ highlights trends and the need to make sure software is kept updated.

The biggest surprise is that Google’s Chrome browser tops the vulnerabilities list with 76.  Safari and Firefox also scored badly with 60 and 51 respectively.  Conversely, Internet Explorer had only 32.  The complete list is below.

1. google chrome – 76
2. Apple Safari – 60
3. Microsoft Office – 57
4. Adobe Acrobat – 54
5. Mozilla Firefox – 51
6. Sun JDK – 36
7. Adobe Shockwave Player – 35
8. Microsoft Internet Explorer – 32
9. Real Networks Real player – 14
10. Apple Webkit – 9
11. Adobe Flash Player – 8
12. Apple Quicktime and Opera Web browser (tied) – 6

This will obviously be inflammatory news to anyone who doesn’t like internet explorer (though recently versions of the browser cannot be compared to IE6) and there will people who will point to all the ‘undiscovered’ vulnerabilities in the browser.

However it pans out over time, it’s clear that Microsoft’s recent strategies are paying dividends for the company in terms of helping increase their reputation around the world.  It will be interesting to see how IE9 stacks up against the other browsers in 12 months time.

No end to misery of building collapse victims

The building collapse in Delhi's Lakshmi Nagar area on Monday evening, that killed 66 people, has been the worst nightmare for the residents.

"My five-year-old daughter died, my brother in law pulled her out and took her to the hospital," she said.

Unfortunately, the nightmare is a reality for her and scores of others who lived in the building.

"We can't find my brother and even my sister," Shankari said.

She same to Delhi as a child from Murshidabad in West Bengal, followed her mother and became a domestic help.

Like her, most of the residents of this building worked as domestic helps or daily wage workers, forced to settle for rooms here at Rs. 2000-3000 a month.
　
Mohd and Shakur lived on the terrace of the building with 11 others from Bihar, who worked as construction workers. Two are dead and seven missing.

MUMBAI — Canadian model and former "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson is to appear in reality television show "Bigg Boss", the Indian version of "Big Brother".

Anderson, 43, was set to arrive in Mumbai late Monday and enter the live studio near the city on Tuesday, a spokesman for the Colors television channel said.

The actress, who appeared nude in Playboy magazine earlier this year, will join other contestants on the show including a former bandit and the Great Khali, a popular World Wrestling Entertainment performer.

"Bigg Boss", which is in its fourth series, ran into controversy in the first week of this year's edition when activists of the Hindu nationalist Shiv Sena party protested against two Pakistani artists appearing on the show.

The show, hosted by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, included Pakistanis Veena Malik and Ali Saleem. Indian police arrested 25 people at the protest.

Arundhati Roy Is A Traitor

Arundhati Roy is an anti-national. We need to show solidarity against such people who are hellbent on getting India down at all costs. Supported by our enemies, she targets the Govt on every front and leaves no stone unturned to demonise it.

why not we can be a change or inspiration for others .we always used to read inspirational stories then forget about that. When we read those stories we learn a lot but do not forget to use that inspiration in real life.
