Two points well taken, Posh

CUSTOMS at LAX airport failed to spot some blatant Tic Tac smuggling as VICTORIA BECKHAM arrived in Los Angeles.

Posh had her headlamps on full beam as she touched down in California on a flight from London to make the final decision on the new US Beckingham Palace.

The former Spice Girl suffered the “accidental” see-through-material showbiz curse when the flashbulbs popped at international arrivals.

You would never guess Mrs Becks, who left hubby DAVID back in Madrid, had just stepped off a transatlantic flight

She looked incredibly fresh and, ahem, sprightly.

Nothing to declare, eh?

Just two Hollywood Hills . . .

In the year 2007

Noah Ark in the year 2007

In the year 2007, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in Woy-Woy, Australia and said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. You need to build another Ark and have 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans.

You have 6 months to build the Ark before I start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights".

Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark.

"Noah!" He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?

"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed. I needed a building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbours claim that I've violated the neighbourhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision.

Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they wouldn't listen.

Then I had problems getting the wood. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save an endangered species of bandicoot. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the bandicoots but no go!

When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group suedme for confining wild animals against their will. They said it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.

Then the local council ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an Environmental impact study on your proposed flood.

I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many indigenous people I'm supposed to hire for my building crew.

The Immigration department is checking the status of most of the people who want to work and I've even had a letter from Amanda Vanstone asking about my ethnic background!

The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience.

To make matters worse, the Taxation department has seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species.

So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark.

Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"

"No," said the Lord. "The Government beat me to it."

Cricket World cup 2007 - Post cup analysis - India

Cricket World cup 2007 - Post cup analysis

Cricket world cup 2007 ended with its style on April 28 2007. With the victory of Australia over Sri Lanka, Australia created the history in the cricket world cup by winning three consecutive world cups. Also there is yet another record made by Australia, which is, the team which won 29 games in cricket world cup without loosing. Apart from their win, there are lots of data to take home for other teams.

Lets see how the teams went ahead and let them down in this tournament.

India - The team of uncertainty

India, backed by a billion pressures made its 9th appearance in this world cup. Indian cricket team lead by Rahul Dravid provided a lot of hope for their countrymen. Their hope is on the deep batting lineup backed by experienced players like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag and other young bloods in the team. They had a decent bowling line up which also looked promising.

With lot of experience Indian cricket team started its game with Bangladesh which is also considered as a minnows in the game. But the fate of Indian cricket team in this cricket world cup was well written by Bangladesh team with a win over India. It was the match which decided the fate for India. None of the India's top batting lineup performed in the game and every player in Bangladesh performed well on the ground.

With a loss over Bangladesh and lots of pressure by Indian cricket fans back in home, India faced Bermuda where virender Sehwag made his first century after a long time. Everyone thought Sehwag is returning to form but the hope got shattered during Sri Lanka vs. India match. India won Bermuda with a huge total and all the top four performed in the game decently.

Then India entered into its crucial match against Sri Lanka which is a Do or Die match. India is on the edge of the knife which can tear the flesh of the team. With the brilliance of Sri Lankan fielding India was controlled by Sri Lankan bowlers during the match. Alas, India lost the match against Sri Lanka. India lost its berth on group stage matches in cricket world cup 2007.

From this cricket world cup, India has lot to take back home. The high hope on their batting lineup and the experience which they backed got fired by other teams. India's over confident on the experience and under estimation about Bangladesh paid its price. The internal politics and the lacking team sprit during the troubled times in the game are some of the reasons for their fall. It was the first time India got eliminated from the cricket world cup in group stages. It was one of the bad performances from Indian cricket team during the recent years.

Test playing Nations : India | Pakistan | West Indies | Sri Lanka | New Zealand | South Africa | England | Australia
Non test playing Nations : Canada | Bermuda | Scotland | Zimbabwe | Kenya | The Netherlands | Ireland | Bangladesh

Is Rani Mukherjee angry with Abhishek Bachchan?

Things don't seem to be too well between Rani Mukherjee and Abhishek Bachchan not just because the latter didn't invite his so-called good friend to his wedding. Reports are that Abhishek had to postpone the shooting of Pradeep Sarkar 's next film 'Lagaa Chunari Mein Daag' from May to June. Rani seems to have not taken kindly to it since she will have to reschedule her own dates now.

Abhishek will film for the film after his honeymoon and will have crucial scenes with Rani and a few with mom Jaya Bachchan .Rani had to adjust her dates with that of Abhishek's and this is when she lost her cool. A source said, "Rani has been tight-lipped about this extremely unpleasant situation. The Bachchans completely ignored her."

Close friends of Rani said that the actress is disheartened but prefers to maintain a stoic silence. In the recent past she had refused to comment when she was asked about the brewing romance between Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai . "Rani is happy for Abhishek. She even sent her wishes to Abhishek and Aishwarya during the wedding. But she is not exactly looking forward to the shoot," said a source close to the actress.

A source from Yashraj Films added, "The actors will have to work together in spite of all the issues. We're sure that both Rani and Abhishek will do a good job. They are wonderful actors at the end of the day."

I was very sexual in kindergarten: Angelina Jolie

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie reveals that she was "very sexual" in kindergarten. She said she created games where she would corner the boys and strip off their clothes. She also admitted that she was a wild child and would often get into trouble for "making out" with boys at a very young age.

Contactmusic.com quoted her as saying: "I was a member of a group called the Kissy Girls. I was very sexual in kindergarten. "I created a game where I would kiss the boys and give them cooties (children's fictional disease). Then we would make out and we would take our clothes off. I got into a lot of trouble." Jolie reportedly lost her virginity at the age of 14, reports www.hollywood.tv.com.

Revealing her sexual fetish, she said: "I had started having sex with my boyfriend and the sex and the emotions didn't feel enough. I was no longer a little girl. In a moment of wanting to feel closer to my boyfriend I grabbed a knife and cut him. He cut me back.

"We had an exchange of something and we were covered in blood, my heart was racing. Then whenever I felt trapped, I'd cut myself. I have a lot of scars. It was an age when I felt adventurous and after a few beers things happened."

Her reputation for strange sexual habits came to light during her highly publicised marriage to actor-director Billy Bob Thornton. Though they divorced in 2003, the couple admitted to using knives during sex and reportedly had built a sex dungeon in their home. They were also seen in public wearing necklaces that bore vials of each other's blood.

All that ended with the adoption of her Cambodian son Maddox. "It had something to do with becoming a mother," she said. "That was the biggest change in my life and made me feel complete. I learnt to accept responsibility for myself, my children and my partner."

Coping with distractions at workplace !

After leaving home, you have a clear work agenda outlined for the day. But once at office, things don't work as smoothly. You inevitably fall prey to unwanted distractions that consume your time, energy and concentration.

You receive phone calls from friends, text messages, e-mails and more. Besides these, you have may have to tackle a customer/ client crisis, co-workers who need your help or just want to chat or emergency meetings that disturb your schedule. Then, there's your boss who constantly wants updates for various projects.

Sounds familiar? Here are some tips on how to tackle workplace distractions and use your time at work more effectively:

e-mail

Access your e-mail only at certain times of the day. Doing it as your day begins will give you a headstart.

If at all possible, never touch the same e-mail twice. Avoid the tendency to go through the same mail again and again.

Do not open your mail unless you have time to read it and take some action on it, ie reply to it, delegate it, save it or delete it.

Create separate folders

Avoid a flooded inbox by creating separate folders for your boss, special projects, clients, colleagues, etc. Learn the Traffic Light principle:

Red folder: For mails from the boss, clients, projects that are on the verge of completion and deadlines that you need to meet.

Yellow folder: Meeting highlights or minutes can be placed in a yellow folder for your perusal at a later date. These are the types of things that can be read during free time, lunch, while backing up files, printing, etc.

Green folder: This can be your 'On the move' folder. Store all the mails, articles and presentations you will need to carry in the next meeting or a client review.

e-mail management tips

As far as possible, attach the old message when replying to an e-mail. Try using the 'Reply with history' option in your mail if available.

Quick tip: Don't provide your official e-mail ID to friends and do not send forwards to others on their official IDs as far as possible.

Online chat

There are several service providers who provide online chat services (also known chat clients). Rediffbol, Yahoo Messenger, MSN, AOL, etc, are some of the popular ones.

Remember that co-workers, customers or supervisors may be nearby, so be tactful in your conversations.

Use chat only for business communication. When you don't want to be interrupted, you can use the following options:

Select the 'Away' option
Select the 'Busy' option
Appear offline ie you can only see who all are online but cannot chat with anyone.

Phone calls

If friends or spouse often call you 'just to say Hi', then start by informing them of your work timings. Give them a convenient time to call you like, say, later in the evening unless it is very urgent.

Don't give your cell number to everyone

You must aim at keeping your number as private as possible.

Limit the number of incoming calls by distributing your number to fewer people.

Provide your cell phone number only to select work-related people: business contacts, clients, the boss and fellow employees.

SMS

This is a necessary evil that comes with the convenience of having a cell phone.

Don't reply to jokes or forwarded messages and, soon, you will stop getting them from your friends. Your attempt to be polite may be costing you an extra hour at work everyday. Not worth it!

If it's not a forward, do you need to reply immediately? Not really. If it's an emergency, you would have received a phone call for sure.

This is for the benefit of those around you: Deactivate the SMS ring tone and just put it on silent. You may like it but it can be quite irritating for others to listen to the same Himesh Reshammiya track or a baby gurgling every time you receive an SMS.

Are we doing right with Sachin?

Contributed by Sumit Singh

Heard a lot about India's dismal performance in the world cup and more than that the voice against Sachin putting questions on his credentials and asking him to retire. In one of the article even read that Sachin should take the responsibility and announce his retirement so that it relieves the pressure from the other Team players after the team's show in Caribbean.

But one thing always keep haunting me, why for more than fifteen years, the country of a billion has been expecting only one men to bring victories and take blame for every loss. As far as I know there are eleven players in the Team. I remember during the 03 World Cup, everybody blamed his failure in the final. But nobody thought that India was in final just because of 673 runs scored by the little master. What were other players doing there? Were they not playing final?

When Sachin hits a century and India loses, mind you even in the case the match is gifted to the other team courtesy Duckworth-Lewis, then its quiet common to hear that he can't win the match for the country, but people are even happy with Dravid's 50 against Srilanka though for not a single time India looked like winning. Is Dravid lacking something in terms of experience?

Inzamam took the responsibility for his team's performance and left his captaincy, even announced retirement from one-day cricket. But in India we want to hear this from a player of the Team, not the Captain or the Coach. I would like to know when did Dravid won a match single-handed for India; the fact remains that he has just played to turn a complete disaster into a more respectable loss (just like he did against Lanka). Now read the routine of THE WALL that it follows in an ODI match "Whenever he arrives at crease the run rate required is around 4.5 to 5 runs per over usually. Then this 'wall' block all the runs and India's run rate starts climbing. In this pressure others start losing their wickets. After 7 or 8 down the 'wall' suddenly remembers that they are playing in an ODI not test. So he plays some shots, reaches to his 50 and then get out. On the way he already earns all the respects and claps that the WALL stood again." But where he stood?? He fell and made India to fall.

We won't like to blame the Captain and Coach, asking what a Coach can do if the team performs like this. But then why do we have a Coach? I guess most of the players were having a much better technique before the Chappel era, and the Coach was brought to improve the remaining flaws, but he introduced some new ones, whether it may be Sehwag, Pathan , Kaif or anyone. No wonder India is now 8th in the Ranking.

Most of the people will say that this is another article from a typical Sachin fan. I do accept that I have been his fan for last 15 years, but did he ever say that he was the very best; in fact we crowned him as the God. We always compare him with Laras, Pontings, the Waughs, Sir Viv Richards and even Sir Donald Bradman. Every time a player is at his peak, we start comparing Sachin with him, but why can't we find another Indian player who we can compare with them? Still remains a mystery.

I don't know he should retire or not because he knows more of him than us. But, I wish he didn't because that will be succumbing to the pressure created by the former cricketers (who stand no where to him) and the media. No matter what has happened, no matter how things go and no matter how much media shouts I will always salute the God of Indian Cricket, who made this game the passion of a billion hearts.

Shah Rukh and Amitabh in the same film

Despite rumours of a long-simmering rivalry, Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan will be working together again, a news report said yesterday. The two actors have signed for producer Ravi Chopra's next film, Bhootnath, a story of a friendly ghost. Bachchan is expected to play the ghost's character.

Rumours of a bitter rivalry between the two have been fuelled by media reports that Khan was not invited to last week's high-profile wedding between Bachchan's son, Abhishek, and actress Aishwarya Rai. However, the Asian Age quoted as saying that the two actors were very keen to work together, and "kept calling me to know when the other was free".

Yuvraj singh appearence on Kim Sharma party

Apparently Kim Sharma and her good friend Preeti Jhangiani were enjoying hemselves at a recent [arty, and that's when Yuvraj Singh decided to make an appearence. But it was the shortest appearence by Yuvraj singh we know. He took one look inside and zoomed off again. We wonder why? Was it because of the paparazzi hanging around or some other reason.

This Selection Is Not The Way Forward

The selection committee has wasted another golden opportunity. The talk of infusing fresh blood into the team after the World Cup has not materialized into something concrete, and Indian cricket continues to tread a dangerous path. The selection of the senior team, as with so many times in the past, has been fuelled by confusion and, more, by 'compromise'.

After all the big talk on youngsters replacing the tried and tested, only Bengal lad Manoj Tiwary finds a place. What happens to other youngsters who have proved themselves in the Ranji Trophy and A tours? What more should a bowler like R. Bose of Bengal do to claim a stake?

Two batsmen who will feel extremely disappointed are S. Badrinath of Tamil Nadu and Mumbai's Rohit Sharma. Remember the chairman of the selection committee stating that the 80 made by Badri in the Zal Irani Cup was one of the best domestic knock played on a difficult wicket? And add the runs he made against the likes of Shaun Tait and Clarke on the faster and bouncier wickets in Australia. Rohit, with his recent exploits, gave enough proof that he was a decent limited overs prospect. The signals that are sent to such players are not very healthy.

When performances in the Ranji Trophy and A tours are not going to be looked at with interest, one can lose faith in the system and unless the selectors start giving preference to players who toil and perform in the domestic scene, things can go haywire.

Some of the so-called recalls are only going hamper the progress route. Dinesh Mongia and R.P. Singh have been given enough chances to cement their place in the side but they have not done that, and no one else can be faulted for that. And Ramesh Powar making it only to the Test squad was highly amusing as he had looked the best bowler in the ODI's whenever he had been given a chance.

A tour to Bangladesh was the ideal platform to groom some of the youngsters. The kids would have got a fair idea of international cricket and readied them for the tougher assignments ahead. The upcoming season is one of the toughest Team India would have in a long time and with the majority of the side ageing and on the wane, this would have been the ideal time for a shake up and for the rebuilding process to start but sadly and as always another chance to put things in the right perspective and turn a new leaf has gone a-begging. Save your prayers for Indian cricket.

With the news of the Indian selection dominating the headlines, a small matter called the World Cup was conveniently forgotten. Australia's annihilation of their Trans Tasman rivals would have filled fear in all sides. If this is what the Aussies can do to a side that was widely expected to run them close…!

The Australian batting looks too good at the moment, and the bowlers seem to be hitting the straps well and getting into a good rhythm at the right time. It would take a Herculean effort from the remaining sides to stop the Aussies from claiming their hat-trick. It would take an extremely brave heart to put the money against the reigning champions.

Finally Abhishek Bachchan weds Aishwarya Rai

Colour, confusion and crowds... It was every bit the grand filmy wedding as Abhishek Bachchan, astride a horse, wearing an off-white sherwani and a white turban bedecked with flowers, arrived on a hot Friday evening to wed Aishwarya Rai.

Bollywood's power couple finally tied the knot in a grand ceremony that held much of the nation in thrall - never mind if the only details of the closely guarded event that filtered out were grainy zoom shots from TV cameras stationed across the road.

Aishwarya reached the Bachchans' Juhu residence Prateeksha in a silver Mercedes decorated with flowers along with her mother and brother.

At almost the same time, the barat left the other Bachchan bungalow Jalsa nearby, with a visibly anxious Amitabh Bachchan, complete with a saffron turban, ushering his guests into the waiting Volvo buses that would take them to the wedding venue.

His face covered with a sehra of white flowers, Abhishek did a small jig before getting off the bus and waving cheerily and then getting on to his horse again at Prateeksha.

While photographers scrambled to train their cameras at the goings-on, curious stargazers climbed up trees, railings and even hoardings to get a first-hand view.

Amid the sea of saffron turbans sported by the baratis, several close friends like yesteryear actor Danny Denzongpa, industrialist Anil Ambani and director Goldie Behl could be seen.

The Bollywood celebrities who arrived to bless the couple also included Sonali Bendre, Preity Zinta, Karan Johar, Ajay Devgan and Kajol. With so many high-profile guests, including Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav and Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh, at least 1,000 security personnel swarmed both the flower bedecked Bachchan homes. The road outside Prateeksha was blocked.

Friday's wedding was the climax of three-day festivities that included a sangeet and a mehndi ceremony that were equally secretive. The buzz around the Abhi-Ash marriage started last year and had been steadily getting louder even though the Bachchans never announced it officially because they wanted to keep it a private affair.

TV shots and newspaper pictures of guests, who kept floating in and out of their house from Wednesday, were the only proof that the big fat Indian wedding was finally taking place. Both the Bachchan residences were turned into fortresses and for the uninvited, getting in was next to impossible.

The Bachchans not only took care of their own privacy, they were thoughtful enough not to disturb their neighbours - the lawns at the venue were covered with soundproofed, air-conditioned tents. Members of the film fraternity who made it to the guest list showed cooperation towards the first family of Bollywood - none of the invitees breathed out a single detail about the wedding.

"They have invited all those people who are emotionally close to them," Amar Singh said in an interview to a TV channel in an apparent explanation for some conspicuous absentees like neighbour Hrithik Roshan and all the Khans. Fans and mediapersons who had logged on to Aishwarya's official site also faced disappointment as they found it temporarily closed.

"This site is temporarily unavailable. Please do not call or e-mail but check back again next month. Thank you," said a message apparently posted by Aishwarya. Whether the wedding of the year was accessible to all or not, the couple's many fans just hope that they live happily ever after...

Prom Dresses for prom Season

A prom, short for Promenade or promotion, is used to describe a formal dance held at end of high school academic year. In united Kinddom Prom dresses are widely understood to be a reference to a season of classical concerts or proms, which will be held during July and September every year. In Canada, the term Prom terms Graduation or Formal are most common and event will be conducted for those graduating year of high school.

Why all the fuss about prom dresses?

It is obvious that PROM DRESSES are one of the most important items in any girls prom plans. With your high school prom being one of the most memorable nights in your life you certainly want a dress that embodies that significance. Prom pictures will immortalize you in the formal gown you decide on, so be sure that you take time to see all that the many sites online and local shops have to offer. 2007 Prom Dresses are being designed with many new style variations, so whether you want what's best, cheapest or what is the most trendy and designer, there will be a dress to fit your imagination and budget. Remember that alterations are often necessary, so order a dress early to give yourself plenty of time for those and also returns if necessary.

How can we select a right Prom Dress?

Your prom dresses makes a statement, Are you chic? Sophisticated? Classic? Sexy? Traditional? or Avant garde?

Choosing the right prom dresses starts with proportion. A dress may look gorgeous on the model in the photo, but it will never look good on you if the lines are wrong for your proportions.

Think of your silhouette and begin with your best features, then ease into the ones that are less than perfect. Do you have a tiny waist that would look fantastic in a clingy sheath dress? Do you have great cleavage ideal for being set off by an open neckline? A pair of wonderful shoulders or a lovely swan neck would look perfect in a strapless or off the shoulder gown.

You should try on no fewer than three prom dresses so feel free to try on as many as you want until you find the perfect one.

A prom dress that might look rather plain on the hanger might transform your figure. Even when you think you have found the right dress, try on a couple more just to be sure. You may not realize it, your choice of color can make a difference in how a prom dress looks on you. Know which colors look best on you. Even though a certain color is popular, it may not be right for you.

Don't worry many styles also can camouflage your less than perfect features. Large hips can be hidden with an A-line prom dress. It will give height and reduce width making you look taller and slimmer. Another option would be a hollow waist, which begins an inch and a half below your natural waist, camouflaging your heaviest part.

A thick middle can be minimized by a princess waist, just make sure the fullness of the dress starts below your thick part. Heavy thighs are easy to conceal beneath a full skirt, but stay away from any style that is straight or narrow. The same advice applies if you have a full derriere. Remember to draw attention away from your flaws and concentrate on a beautiful neckline instead.

Best Prom Dresses Colors

The classic colors are black, white and silver; but there are more and more red, blue and purple themed gowns. If you want attention and can pull it off, some of the more showy pink, silver, and retro dresses can offer some vibrance that's sure to be memorable.

Want to have Cheap Prom Dresses?

PROM DRESSES (discounted) can easily be found online. For your dance you can find formal wear including accessories from variety of vendors online. For instance go to Yahoo! and search for "discount prom dress"; "cheap prom dress" or "inexpensive prom dresses" to find many retailers that carry 2003 dresses, 2004 dresses and gowns from previous years.

PROM DRESSES are undergoing healthy growth in the niche fashion areas also. For example, the gothic prom dresses, brand name tiffany prom dresses or even a punk prom dress are likely to be seen.

PROM DRESSES should be carefully selected for fit and quality. Make sure to have your exact, recent measurements on hand when ordering. Further, you should check the reputation of the retailer or dress-maker. Our brand and store online reviews should help make choosing one an easier decision.

Sachin, Sourav Out of Indian Team

Wow what a news, Sachin Tendulkar & Sourav Ganguly is out of office from Indian Cricket team. This is the first time in the history of Sachin's Cricketing life where he was forced for an exit from the team. Is This forced exit is the indication for sachin Tendulkar to retire from the game.

When contacted Dilip Vensarkar, he said this is only for Bangladesh Tour not for all games. Since India is going to play 45 games this year Dilip said it cannot be the same team always.

Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly are out from both forms of cricket and Virender Sehwag was out from Test team but he will play One day Internationals (what is the use of this one). I believe here the captain's recommondation is been considered. Rahul Dravid who is recommending and backing Viru for a long time. No idea why?. Rahul Watch out people are angry on you a lot. This recommondation for a non performer might turn against you.

Sachin, Don't worry Go home and do some net practice which you stopped before the world cup. That will bring back your game. If God (not you i said abt almighty) thinks then he might give you another chance of life.

Sourav, I don't have any idea why they haven't selected. So till the end of confusion go to Kolkata and do the family business

20-min oral test to detect HIV

100% Accurate Gum Swab Examination May Soon Replace Blood Test

New Delhi: A simple 20-minute gum swab test could soon tell you whether you are HIV positive or not.
In a breakthrough that could do away with the conventional HIV antibody test, through blood taken from the finger or the arm, scientists from McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), Canada, and Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (MGIMS) in Sevagram have successfully tested an oral fluid-based HIV test that has proved 100% accurate.

Lead scientist Dr Nitika Pai from MUHC tested 450 individuals for HIV infection at MGIMS and found 32% of them to be HIV positive.
The team then compared the diagnostic accuracy of the OraQuick test from two samples — one obtained from oral fluid (gums) and the other from a blood-based finger stick — with traditional blood tests. Only one false positive case was recorded with the oral gum swab test, proving 99.7% specificity. While 66% of the subjects reported discomfort with the finger testing method, no similar discomfort was recorded during sample collection for the oral test.

Dr Rajnish Joshi from MGIMS, who conducted the tests with Dr Pai, told TOI that extracting blood from random subjects in field settings poses a severe logistical problem because it needs injecting syringes to draw blood and trained personnel to carry out the procedure for risk of needle stick injury.

''Now, all that one has to do is rub the stick against the gum twice, once against the upper jaw and then on the lower jaw, from one end to another, to collect oral mucosal transudate fluid, normally secreted in the oral cavity. The applicator on the stick, a strip of synthetic proteins, then detects HIV antibodies in blood in 20 minutes or less. Standard HIV tests with the help of blood make patients wait up to two weeks for results. According to the CDC Atlanta, 33% of testees never pick up their results. It also costs about Rs 200 and can be administered practically in any setting — a clinic, a bar or even a street corner,'' Dr Joshi said.

OraQuick test has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. But some studies had indicated that it was not sufficiently precise. As a result, CDC Atlanta had called for more definitive studies leading to this study in rural India.

''Based on our findings, the oral test is the preferred choice for HIV field testing by rural Indians,'' said Dr Pai, a physician epidemiologist supported by the Canadian HIV Trials Network. ''The advantages are that results are available within minutes and can also be performed by health workers with minimal training, eliminating the need for specialist laboratory technicians,'' she added.

''Rapid point-of-care HIV testing, which are non-invasive, simple, accurate and oral fluid-based, have the potential to make a big impact on HIV screening. They open the door to the possibility of home-based HIV testing,'' she said

Meena's bonding firms up with Mollywood

It is one of those delicious ironies. Though she is born in Tamil Nadu, she has found sustenance from the neighbouring Malayalam cinema when the chips were down. Yes, Tamil actress Meena 's bonds with Mollywood are firming up by the day, if the industry reports are anything to go by. The doe-eyed beauty got a chance to act against the reigning megastar of Malayalam cinema,

Mammotty in 'Karuthapakshigal'. The film has won critical acclaim, and Meena's role was highly appreciated. Now comes the news that Meena is playing the mother - to one of the younger heroines of Mollywood, Gopika . The film, being directed by Sunder Das, has Meena enacting a double role. It is really daring on her part to accept the role to play screen mother. According to the grapevine, Meena, who once starred against the likes of Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan , is also busy doing a few Kannada films.Make the most of it, Meena!

Yuvraj in legal mess over B'day brawl

Fresh trouble seems to be brewing for cricketer Yuvraj Singh as a Delhi court has issued summons to him and his mother Shabnam Singh with seven others in connection with the brawl that took place at a party last year on his birthday.

The court received a petition filed by complainant Neelam Mahajan Singh that challenged a lower court's order of summoning only Yuvraj and his mother in the case. Neelam said in her petition that the court must seek responses from all the nine accused in the case.

The court further allowed the plea in Neelam's petition that all sections of the IPC should be considered while proceeding in the case and modified the judicial magistrate's order to summon the accused only under a few penal provisions.

The judicial magistrate had summoned Yuvraj and his mother on January 9 in connection with the alleged assault during the cricketer's birthday party last year. However the seven other accused were excluded.

Neelam, a journalist and mother of Yuvraj Siddhartha had alleged that the cricketer and his relatives and friends at the party assaulted them. Neelam further charged them with defaming the duo and making obscene gestures at them.

The incident allegedly occurred at Yuvraj's DLF flat in Gurgaon during his birthday party on December 13.

Dear Diary...

Just to catch up - it's been a rough month - I'm amazed at people's opinion about my relationships.

We all learn and grow every day - my biggest concern has always been my boys - they are completely well adjusted and happy and thriving - their Dad has been in their lives in a productive but small way over the years - I've tried to remarry - move on - like any other single mom I've tried to create a healthy example for my kids always, that's why I realized early on that we are better off on our own right now and work on our friendship if nothing else with their father who's admittedly made mistakes but adores us. People do need time to grow up sometimes. I have faith that we're heading in the right direction. I'm really not interested in bringing any other men into our lives.

I have plenty of friends and acquaintances who struggle with much worse and have really seen how I've done a good job by sheltering my kids and kept them out of the craziness - it's my most important job, its spending most my time with them and growing up myself in a bizarre existence...full of strangers who judge.

I understand how things may look - but we are all just the tip of the iceberg - no one could possibly know the really struggles or issues we've dealt with day to day honestly all our work is under the water.

So we do the best we can…

I just lost my 17 yr old golden retriever today 'STAR'... I'm at a turning point in my life - it's been over a month of carrying him to the grass and holding him up to walk and pee and have some dignity... He has been with me since his birth...as long as I've been in LA. Today is one of the hardest days I've experienced...it shines a light on the 17 yrs in LA and the good the bad and the ugly - I've grown a thick skin - I've lost myself over the years- but I'm back on track - I'm reading - I'm back to what makes me happy - growing and learning - being around and working with great artists - being inspired and realizing how short life can be and how simple it can be and we all are delicate and have meaning and feelings.

I'm so happy I'm building in Canada - it'll be wonderful to have both lives here and there...I'm building a great compound and a marina - it's a very sexy development I'm creating with the Courtnalls' (hockey players) in LADYSMITH, BC.

1 more TV show I think maybe 3 more years on the beach with my new puppy JO-JO...I can't say no to the guys from Baywatch - they are great to my kids- my schedule is built around theirs -just a few days a week - I'm close to home - I love the idea - flamingo kid meets Baywatch - show is called MALIBU. I've come full circle - back to the beach.

We are so blessed. I'm dedicating my life even more now to animal rights and the welfare of children and the environment. I feel I have my strength back - my health is back on track.

Pamela Anderson

oops Britney Spears did it again

The first sexy appearence of Britney spears just happened few days ago in hollywood. She did it again. Britney spears flashed her panties again to the public. Is she is Ok after rehab. Rehab is for making everything fine. Britney was in rehab for about three times.

Even at Rehab it is found that Britney spears was like a tigress who is loking for food. It is the first appearence to the public after a long time. Sh was in a pink dress till her tighs. She looked fablous in that dress abt she did showed what photograpers are expecting for a long time. Britney spears flashed her panties yet another time

Cameron Diaz forgets her bra

Its now time to be without Bra in public. It all started with Paris Hilton who made an appearence without Bra in singles party. It was then followed by many stars and the most attracted celebrity is britney spears appeared without Bra in a transperent dress. Some time Back even sharon Stone appeared without Bra which looked like the old lady needs more attention from guys.

Now its time for Cameron Diaz who forgets her bra in home and made an appearence in public. Yesterday Cameron Diaz the sexy smily hollywood actress appeared without Bra. It might have became an bigger issue if Cameron Diaz had a good sized breast. Since Cameron Diaz doesn't had anything very big it looked like a tennis court walking with fully dressed.

Remember when Cameron Diaz used to look like this? Ahh those were good times. And by good times I mean I spent my nights clutching my pillow in fear, afraid she would come through my window and eat me.

Trouble for Shilpa

BOLLYWOOD star Shilpa Shetty was today swept up in fresh controversy when angry mobs burned effigies of Richard Gere after he planted a smacker on her cheek. The pair were at an awareness event in New Delhi to highlight HIV/AIDS among truck drivers on Sunday.

In front of a cheering crowd, Gere kissed the giggling Shetty on the hand. He then kissed her on both cheeks before bending her in a full embrace to smooch her cheek again. Photographs of the shocking event - sex and public displays of affection are
largely taboo in India - were splashed across the country's front pages.

The Bridge

Once upon a time two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious rift in 30 years of living side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed without a hitch.

Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

One morning there was a knock on the older brother's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. "I'm looking for a few days work" he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there. Could I help you?"

"Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm. That's my neighbor, in fact, it's my younger brother.

Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll go him one better. See that pile of lumber curing by the barn? I want you to build me a fence -- an 8-foot fence -- so I won't need to see his place anymore. Cool him down, anyhow."

The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."

The older brother had to go to town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day.

About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge -- a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work, handrails and all -- and the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming across, his hand outstretched.

"You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done."

The two brothers met at the middle of the bridge, embracing one another.

They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox on his shoulder. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother.

"I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but I have so many more bridges to build."

Sachin, Zaheer Get out from Cricket

Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan and other members of the Indian cricket team faced a fresh bout of public rage when they stepped out of the airport on Sunday.

Entire cricket team got a rude shocking welcome from fans of Ahmedabad during their arrival in the city to take part in the inter state Twenty20 Cricket.

The fans, who had been shouting slogans for two hours, also staged a protest in front of Hotel Taj Ummed where the team was put up. The bunch of protesters also took out a rally in Hatkeshwar and displayed banners to show that the players were not welcome in Ahmedabad. The city police said that they had made adequate security arrangements.

Heavy security was provided to Sachin Tendulkar at the Sardar Patel Stadium, where he came to practice. Armed policemen provided security cover to Sachin, who arrived in a special car along with bowlers Zaheer Khan and Ajit Agarkar, while his other teammates arrived in a bus.

Following the afternoon incident where fans shouted slogans against the three, the police shooed away curious onlookers, including children gathered to see the Indian stars practice.

Activist Harshad Patel who led the protest said cricket fans are still smarting from India's shock defeat to Bangladesh in the World Cup. "Either these players do modelling assignments or play cricket," Patel said.

Social worker Harish Sharma demanded that the players responsible for India's humiliation should quit. "After the ouster from the World Cup, it becomes their moral duty to call it a day," Sharma said.

Also joining the rally was ex-corporator of Khokra, George Dias, who said there was an urgent need to inject fresh blood into the Indian team. "There is too much money at stake when the Indian team plays. There should some accountability," Dias said.

We are so far behind...

Against my better judgment I watched as the West Indies team once again sputtered in front of the millions of viewers worldwide, glued to their television sets. As the farce unfolded I revisited my thoughts at the beginning of this tournament. I knew that our team paled in comparison to the juggernaut qualities of the brilliant Australians. The South Africans throughout the tournament demonstrated their ability to choke, and I hoped this would have been one of those times, except that I had forgotten their Bangladesh encounter. I equally too forgot that games at this level are won or lost before a ball is bowled based on the team selected. It was not surprising therefore, that the team presented for this encounter reflected the confused state of our cricket. It does not help that we have at the helm, a captain who either knows very little about the strategic management of the team and the game, or worse, is a gambler who is at sea as to the nature and state of the contest. Brian Lara without question is one of the best batsmen to have played this game. His ability as a captain though is nonexistent. This was always my view, a view that was completely solidified with today's performance.

Today though was not the day that West Indies cricket died, that was some time ago. Today was the day we were embarrassed in front of the entire world by this core of prima-donnas and those who parade with them while wearing the title of team management. Today was the day when our players brought home to us all the need for development, the need for structure and more so, the need for us to begin again. It is a pity though that we have spent throughout the region some US$400 million to develop these lovely structures, but would never come together to make an investment in the development of the game in the region. It really is a pity, because today more than ever we demonstrated how far behind the rest of the world we are at our game.

Ready for the semi-finals at the Cricket World Cup

South Africa squeaked past Sri Lanka (with one wicket in hand). Sri Lanka blasted past New Zealand. New Zealand defeated South Africa in the match (winning by 5 wickets). So, who is the better team? That is still unknown. But, unlike South Africa, Sri Lanka and New Zealand are already definite for the semi-finals at this stage. Bangladesh has caused the Proteans to be in this flux now. The remaining matches of Sri Lanka and New Zealand are of no consequence to them.

West Indies and Bangladesh have theoretical chances of getting to the semi-finals. But, the likeliest one to get through would have to be either South Africa or England. The pitches seem to be helping the faster bowlers in this phase, more than the initial set of matches. That might be see an upset happening in the last 3 matches (semi-finals and finals). The semis will see the Kiwis and Sri Lankans face each other, most likely. Sri Lankans would be fancying their chances against the Kiwis yet again. Their bowling is having a steady look and even without Malinga,
their highest wicket-taker in this tournament, Sri Lanka managed to defeat the Kiwis in the Super 8s.

Hence, it would be a good time for them to give chances to Malinga Bandara so that he can be used against the Australian superpower. The best way, it seems, to defeat the Aussies is to have a spin-based attack (like what the Sri Lankans had in the 1996 World Cup) - have Murali, Bandara, Jayasuriya, Dilshan bowl atleast 35 off the stipulated 50 overs. This way, the total that they would eventually score would be reduced considerably. This looks the only route to defeat the Aussies at their current form.

The Kiwis have not managed to get rid of the Sri Lankans so far. If they face them again in the semis, they are not likely to be the favorites. So, they need to get on top of the league (by beating the Aussies possibly) to meet the 4th placed team (South Africa probably). Their bowling is good with Shane Bond, Franklin, Vettori and Patel. Mcmillan has given them a backup option with his tight bowling in the match against the Proteans. Batting is suspect against top-quality spin bowling, though.

The Proteans are more suspect than the Kiwis against spin and this is good enough for them not to proceed all the way in this World Cup. They will come up short against whoever they face in the semis. The way Kallis has had to give up his style of batting, to adopt a more aggressive stance, is proof enough of the fact that the thinking of the Proteans think-tank is not logical enough.

The English might feel that if they win their last 4 matches, they will win the World Cup. But, they might not see how they plan to do it. Their batting has shone in spurts - their win against Bangladesh was by luck, really. If only there were few more runs, England would have had to plan for their return. They havent won against the bigger teams and dont look like capable to win also.

That leaves Australia. What do they have to do? Ensure that the laws of averages dont strike now (they have been winning matches for a very long period in the World Cup now without a defeat). Hussey and Symonds still havent had a decent play in the middle. Mitchell Johnson, Stuart Clark havent had much to do all tournament. Will they be required? Australia would hope not.

Prince William Kate Middleton Splitted

The Sun reported that Prince William and Kate Middleton got splitted recently. Prince William, second in line to the British throne, has split from his four yours old Girl Friend Kate Middleton. It puts an end to a fairy tale of romance starting from Prince Willian's university days.

It was in his university Prince William meet Kate Middleton who helped him in his course. They are the Bold couple from British Throne who publicly displayed their love affection by Kissing and cuddling on Elite euorpean Clubs and partying all night. How ever WIlliam is unavailable for comments and the Royale spokesmen refused to comment on the new story.

Kate Middleton was given the high honor from British Throne. A Lady who stays with her lover in Palace and entering kitchens which are prohibited for outsiders before marriage. So what is the reason for the split. There are lot of stories which are building up regarding the split.

One such story is about William's Job which is demanding much from William who is concentrating on his military career. William had less time to see Kate middleton who is in England. But does distance split the relationship. Hmm some times it do but in a true love of William how can it split the couple who was in love for four years. From the close sources of Kate Middleton it is found that Kate, feels frustrated about their relationship which is going backwards at faster rate.

Another story for the split is because of the sudden celebrity status of Kate Middleton who was chased by Peparzzies for a single snap of her. Yes It must be a reason since Kate is not from a celebrity family, but a young girl who is from a middle class society. Like Diana who caught Prince Charles in an accidental situation, Kate Middleton got Prince William. It will be little difficult for the young girl who never been into celebrity quo to change herself into a celebrity ring.

But does this to be blamed on us? I don't think so, Kate, it is your people who are interested to know about you. We are just the messengers of people who give what they want. So don't blame us.

Anyway now prince William is single again and available. Any Takers?

Face Shapes - hair style

There are seven basic types of facial shapes. They are:

1. Oval,
2. Long,
3. Rectangular,
4. Pear,
5. Diamond
6. Square, and
7. Heart

Oval
The oval face is 1.5 times longer that it is wide and its forehead is slightly wider than the jaw. Considered the most ideal and versatile facial shape by hair experts, many haircuts and styles suit an oval face. However, the best styles to go for are the ones that have layers at the height of you best features such as cheekbones, lips or chin. Short layers at the top of the head should be avoided as they make the face look longer, while ladies with an oval face and thick and curly hair should avoid blunt cut as it looks like a pyramid.

Rectangular
Long and narrow facial shape with a square chin and hairline is known as Rectangular facial shape. Hair cut for rectangular face should add width to its sides, play down on its length by adding a fringe on the forehead and a style that has a side part to soften the squareness of the face. Extremely long or short haircuts make the face look longer while chin-length bobs and haircuts add width to the face. Another way to add the width is to add the curls & waves in your hair. However, short layers lend volume to the top further elongating the face then balancing it.

Round
This facial type has a round chin. Hairstyles should add height on top of the head. You have to cut the bulk from the sides of your face to give it an oval look. So, one length haircut or blunt cuts on short hair should be avoided. Hair width needs to be minimized on the sides and around the ears by keeping them flat at those points. Wispy tapered ends take away the attention from the roundness of the face. Hair styles that fall right below the chin and have layers from the top down, elongate the face and look good.

Square
Facial shapes that have a square jaw line and hairline and seem too short, need a hairstyle that lends length and roundness to it. Layered hair around the jaw line soften it a bit while wispy hair take the attention away from the squareness of the face. Layered haircuts that frame the face are best for square faces. Best options are the short, spiky cuts or long, sleek styles with top down layers starting at the jaw line. Blunt cut bangs or chin-length bobs make the face look squarer.

Heart
This facial shape is widest at the temples and narrowest at the jaw line with a small and delicate and sometimes pointed chin. Hairstyle for this shape needs to add width at the jaw line. Eyes and cheekbones are generally strong points of the heart shaped face. Women with short hair can keep the top layers soft and long or side-swept bangs while the women with longer hair can try long, wavy layers that come across to your cheekbones that lend certain rounded look to the pointed chin. Harsh choppy layers or blunt cut bangs do not suit a heart-shaped face.

Pear
This facial shape has a narrow forehead and wide jawline with a round chin. Attempt is to add width to the forehead and the temples while taking the attention away from the roundness of the jaw. You hair should appear wide and full at the top and temples and could be wear brushed away from the face and up toward the ears. Down from the ears, the hair should fall along the chin to soften it and narrow down the jaw line. Chin length hair is best. Decrease the hair volume from the top, the sides and around the ears. Curls around the temples will soften the face.

Diamond
Widest at the forehead but narrow at the forehead and chin, hair styles for a diamond face needs to add width to the forehead and soften or disguise the cheekbones to give an illusion of the oval face. Add more fringe and volume to the forehead and the chin while smooth hair compliment the cheekbones better. A low side parting and a sweep of hair brushed across the forehead add width to the face and make it look shorter. Asymmetric haircuts look good too along with adding to the hair volume with curly or wavy styles.

Mahima got married

Mahima choudry, the sizzling bollywood actress got married secretly to an Indian American last week. There was no sound about her marriage but it was confirmed that Mahima was pregnent during the time of marriage.

Mahima was unavailable to comment on this rumor, but there is no denial from Mahima choudry side. The Pardes Girl married to the NRI in america. No one is commenting about the marriage of Mahima since mostly no one knows about the secret marriage.

Previously it was rumored that Aishwarya Rai married Abhishek Machchan in Meenakshi Temple (madurai) during the Flim shooting of Guru.

Mahima where are you? we need to know the truth. Are you married or not.

Dating In India

Dating used to be virtually non existant in India about a decade ago with an exception of big cities where people had a little bit of a western touch to thier lives.Times have changed now and with the advent of satellite television and more and more open approach of bollywood films the idea of dating seems to have caught up and has become a way of life among youngsters of Indian cities.Not having a boyfriend or a girlfriend is considered to be sad and having a partner is the most in thing in colleges.

The most prominent reason for dating getting popular as opposed to arranged marriages is that women are becoming more and more independent and have stared working in large numbers now as opposed to ten years ago.

Dont be surprised if you see couples kissing on the streets of delhi as its no more a taboo for the majority,You can see girls getting more and more concious towards the way they look and the clother they wear.You can spot more and more fit girls in the cities where as they used to be clad in the infamous salwar kameez a few years ago but now they like to flaunt thier curves by wearing tiny t-shirts and mini skirts.

Bepenfriends really looking farward to the India of ten years later where dating is not a taboo and display of public affection is not a sin and no morale police in city parks and beaches. There are some free online dating sites like http://www.bepenfriends.com which is creating a dating community which opens the society. Join bepenfriends to get your date in India today

Paris Hilton flashes her bum

Paris Hilton was spotted with her ass hanging out and her normal-sized boobs. Which is almost as exciting as that one time I ordered regular fries and found a curly fry in there. That was the best day ever.

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds dating

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds were spotted around New York City together over the weekend. On Friday they were seen being "very lovey-dovey" at the Azza lounge, on Saturday they were spotted at restaurant Odeon holding hands and laughing, and on Sunday they had a $135 prix fixe lunch at the Carlyle hotel.

This is a pretty big step up for Ryan Reynolds considering he was with Alanis Morissette for the past five years (three of those spent engaged). If he spends enough time with Scarlett Johansson he might actually remember what his penis is used for. Namely slapping people in the face and pretending it's a laser gun. Pew pew pew!

superficial

Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian break up

Paris Hilton didn't show up to best friend Kim Kardashian's birthday party at Tao in Las Vegas last Friday and apparently it's because their egos are clashing. Kardashian didn't want to go clubbing in Paris' shadow and Paris is pissed that Kardashian is being called the New Paris. Kardashian's former publicist says:

"Even when I would talk to editors of magazines and other media outlets about featuring Kim, they would comment on how they are moving past Paris in hopes to bring someone fresh to the spotlight, like Kim." What's more, the former PR man claims that Paris Hilton's other ex-BFF, Britney Spears, broke off their friendship because she was worried about her image. He also claims that Spears wooed Kardashian. "Britney was in NYC and kept texting Kim to hang out and go bowling or something."

So is being called the New Paris a good thing? It's not like being compared to Leonardo DaVinci or Albert Einstein. I mean this is Paris Hilton. It'd be more flattering to be compared to a giant slab of salami.

Chappell's divide & rule policy cost team dear

If reports that suggest a row between senior players and coach Greg Chappell are true, then Indian cricket is in its most messy state. What I have been unable to fathom in the whole issue is the regular leaks to the media, especially if it is to do with a report from Chappell.

Everyone except the intended recipients seems to have the news much in advance.The 'seniors' have been in the news for quite the wrong reasons. Let us get this right. There are four seniors in the side: Sachin, Dravid, Kumble and Sourav. The first two will not stop youngsters from flowering in the side because there is no threat to their place in the team (at least there wasn't till the World Cup).

Kumble, for all I know, is not the kind of player who is going to sabotage a youngster's career. Cast your mind back to February 2001 when Kumble, braving an injured arm, was helping a young Harbhajan before the gruelling series against Australia. For a player who has always put team interest first, such things would not be on their agenda at all.

Sourav has just returned to the side and is least likely to have resorted to such tactics. So which senior player is Chappell talking about? Harbhajan and Sehwag are two experienced campaigners. If Chappell felt they are acting against the interests of the team, he should have pulled them up personally. As coach, he has to submit his report to the board.

If Chappell had indeed used 'friends' in the media to get the news out before it could be discussed in the appropriate forum, then that does not talk highly of his methods. Right from the moment he took over the reins of Indian cricket, he has resorted to a policy of divide and rule. It may have worked in the ouster of Sourav. Maybe, he is trying his hand again now.Another area where Chappell has been found wanting is in not understanding his role with Indian cricket. He is not a Messiah to clean the system. He is a paid professional whose job was to ensure the Indian team won matches. Sadly, that never happened.

There is no denying the fact the coach and captain must be given the side they want. The squad that played the Champions Trophy or the one that travelled to the World Cup was the best India had at that point of time and so there can be no excuses.

The damage has already been done. Things can get only better for Team Indian from this point on. Axing the captain or a majority of the team is only going to make things worse. Let sanity prevail and selection in the future be based on merit rather than emotion.

Chappell's failure is another reminder on how great players need not make it big as a coach. He is the one who harped on the 'perform or perish' mantra. The board must look at a new coach who will understand the Indian psyche better and keep the side as one fighting unit rather than let infighting grow to such an extent that it paralyses performance.

Naomi Campbell Is Humble Now?

How predictable! In her first full interview after community service, Naomi Campbell claims that 5 days of cleaning the sanitation department was a "humbling" experience.

She tells Access Hollywood, "It was humbling and I just got to be with people and learn a lot about people that I would never really get to meet in my job. Everyone was well mannered and very straight up with me and I was straight up with them."

Campbell reveals that she "swept" and "cleaned walls and tables and offices" as part of her daily routine. One thing she says she didn't do is clean toilets as many media outlets suggested.

Her 5 days of community service have even cured her temper tantrums: "I'm in an honest place with myself. I think, like, seven years ago, I was in a place of denial, which I'm not in anymore. I think I've had to look at the people I have around me and I need honesty in my life today... I don't have any yes people left in my life."

How long before she beats another assistant or maid? Leave us your predictions!

Salman gets an Invitation

Salman Khan, Ex Boy friend of Aishwarya Rai is getting invitation for a closed marriage function of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai marriage. It is found that Aishwarya rai is inviting both her ex boy friends salman Khan and Vivek oberoi with whom Aish dated for long time.
