3 young men take a holiday that changes their lives forever.

Around 10.15 pm on June 21, 2011, an ecstatic Amitabh Bachchan confirmed the news of his daughter-in-law’s pregnancy when he tweeted, “News News News!!! I am going to become grandfather. Aishwarya is expecting. So happy and thrilled!!!”

Since the Abhishek Bachchan-Aishwarya Rai marriage on April 20, 2007, there has been constant speculation about the former Miss World’s pregnancy. Now that it is confirmed that Ash will soon be a mum, the grapevine can rest easy. A test was reportedly done to determine that she was with child at the Seven Hills Hospital in a Mumbai  suburb. And soon after the pregnancy was confirmed, the Bachchans were flooded with congratulatory messages from friends, well-wishers and fans on social networking sites.

Now the next big question is: ‘what happens to Ash’s films; Madhur Bhandarkar’s Heroine and Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Ladies and Gentleman?’

A source says, “Ash will definitely complete Madhur’s film.”TOI learnt that Madhur has barely finished six days shooting with Ash. And his film is not about to completed in a hurry. We also hear from unit hands that Ash has put on weight (as is natural in pregnancy). It is now to be seen whether Heroine gets completed on schedule or whether it will be deferred, till Ash returns to the movies after motherhood.

As for Ladies and Gentleman, a romantic comedy with Abhishek and Aishwarya that was closed at a reported 28 crores and meant to go on the floors in October 2011, the heroine of the film will obviously change.

Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan released a statement saying, “Jaya and I are delighted at the news. We wish to thank all our friends and well wishers for their affection and seek your blessings and love in the coming days.”

War on American soil isn’t a foreign concept for first-person shooters, but few do it with the grim dedication of Homefront. Its chilling vision of life in occupied America is vividly illustrated through lengthy scenes that depict the brutality of military subjugation and the desperation of its victims. This thoroughly developed setting is one of the most engaging the genre has seen in a while, making the campaign worthwhile despite its run-of-the-mill action and unsatisfying length. There is some longevity, however, to be found in Homefront’s competitive online multiplayer. Though the paltry few modes are little more than a pastiche of gameplay mechanics you’ve seen before, that little moretips the scales just enough to create a hectic and enjoyable combat arena. Much of what Homefront offers feels overly familiar, but the dramatic setting and good multiplayer recipe make it a worthy stop on any shooter fan’s tour of duty.

The campaign kicks off with a montage chronicling the next 15 years. As gas shortages lead to civil unrest, the United States weakens while across the Pacific, new expansionist leadership leads North Korea into a golden age. This video paints a satisfyingly plausible picture, and collectible clippings throughout the campaign flesh things out even more. With every image of a bread line and article about the consolidation of America’s armed forces, it gets easier and easier to suspend your disbelief. As Homefront’s vision of the future becomes more believable, the events of the campaign hit closer to home. An introductory travel sequence in the spirit of Half-Lifebrings you up to speed very quickly with how bad things are, and one particularly shocking execution scene will likely stay with you throughout the entire game. Homefront’s most intense moments aren’t action movie sequences–they are emotionally wrenching, human encounters with the horrors of war.

The setting is the standout in Homefront’s campaign, though the story is more of a tour through this rich scenario than a compelling journey in its own right. The characters who accompany you the whole time have a few good bits of dialogue and create some dramatic moments, but they aren’t developed well enough to make you really care about them. This detachment can help you overlook the occasional friendly AI blunders, but don’t expect your companions to carry much weight. As in many modern shooters, you are the workhorse. The action itself is solid and proceeds at a pace that steadily intensifies as small shootouts give way to larger skirmishes. An explosive mid-campaign climax leads into a stealthy infiltration, and a much-foreshadowed vehicle sequence near the end delivers nicely. Despite the fact that you are a small resistance force, you scrounge a variety of powerful guns from the enemy, giving you a substantial (and satisfying) arsenal. Homefront gives lip service to things like having to be frugal with ammunition and getting creative to avoid patrols, but it mostly plays out like a standard, linear shooter campaign.

It’s a shame that the action isn’t really on the same wavelength as the setting, but the environments you traverse reinforce your grim situation well. Though Homefront isn’t a beautiful game, there are a lot of thoughtful details that provide echoes of earlier conflict and show different stages of societal breakdown. There are some issues with screen-tearing and characters clipping through solid objects, but on the whole the visuals are equal to the task. Unfortunately, the campaign wraps up around the five-hour mark. That may not seem terribly short by modern-shooter campaign standards, but what makes it worse is not that you are left wanting more; it’s that you are left expecting more. By spending a lot of time on quality exposition in the early going, Homefront’s campaign sets itself up for a longer story arc, but it doesn’t deliver. It’s an unpleasant surprise when things wrap up so abruptly, but it is still a very memorable campaign.

Homefront’s competitive multiplayer, on the other hand, seems primed to be just another also-ran right from the get-go. With only two core game modes (Team Deathmatch and Capture and Hold) playable in two variations, the options are few. The loadout screen will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played a Call of Duty game in the past few years, and the online conflicts play out between the KPA and the US Army (rather than the ragtag freedom fighters from the campaign), so the intriguing setting is little more than window dressing. Though its inspirations are obvious, Homefront does a good job of appropriating tried-and-true mechanics. Earning experience, leveling up, increasing your arsenal, and unlocking new infantry abilities (read: perks) is satisfying, and the maps allow a decent range of viable battlefield strategies.

Things start get more lively as soon as battle points come into play. Earned in the same way as experience, these points are currency meant to be spent during your current match. Each loadout has two slots for purchasable abilities that can give you and your team an edge in combat. Some benefit only you, like the flak jacket and personal radar sweep. Others are meant to score some quick kills, like the Hellfire missile and white phosphorous strikes. And then, there are the drones. Once you’ve found an out-of-the-way place where you won’t be as vulnerable, you can summon a variety of remote-controlled assets onto the battlefield. One relatively inexpensive airborne drone has no attack capabilities, but it can highlight your enemies with big red diamonds that all your teammates can see. Other flying drones come with explosive ordnance, while still other drones scoot around on tank treads armed with various weapons. Drones can be destroyed and will eventually run out of batteries, but their presence on the battlefield is welcome. Not only do they give you something cool and different to do, but they are also powerful enough to affect the flow of the fight.

And if small vehicles aren’t your thing, you can save up your battle points to spawn in an actual vehicle, like a Humvee, tank, or helicopter. Spawning allies can choose to appear in your vehicle, so you don’t have to drive around looking for someone to hop in and make your ride more effective and deadly. Though they, too, are a borrowed idea, battle points invigorate combat by not only expanding your martial capabilities, but also by rewarding you for skillful play in the middle of a match. Furthermore, if you play the Battle Commander variants of the standard modes, your skills can earn you instant battlefield notoriety. As you rack up kills within a given life, you are assigned a star ranking and highlighted on your enemies’ radar. Though you are now a marked target, you gain some automatic perks commensurate with your star ranking that can make you faster, deadlier, and more battlefield aware.

The diverse mechanics that combine to make Homefront’s multiplayer what it is may be familiar to genre veterans, but they are well integrated and achieve a nice balance. Matches in Homefront don’t feel quite like matches in other games, and there’s enough depth here to fuel plenty of hours of combat. Yet, the best part of Homefront is the thoughtful and thorough vision of the future laid out by the campaign. It’s rare to have a shooter pay this much attention to its setting, and the results are some remarkably memorable moments that are often nicely emphasized by the soundtrack. It squanders a lot of potential for greatness, but Homefront’s campaign still fuels much of the game’s appeal, helping to distinguish it among a crowded field of competitors.

A tropical paradise seethes with hidden evil in Far Cry, a cunningly detailed action shooter that pushes the boundaries of combat to shocking new levels.

Freelance mariner Jack Carver is cursing the day he ever came to this island. A week ago, a brash female reporter named Valerie had offered him an incredible sum of cash to take her to this unspoiled paradise. Shortly after docking, however, Jack’s boat was greeted by artillery fire from a mysterious militia group swarming about the island.

With his boat destroyed, his money gone, and the gorgeous Valerie suddenly missing, Jack now finds himself facing an army of mercenaries amidst the wilds of the island, with nothing but a gun and his wits to survive. But the further he pushes into the lush jungle canopy, the stranger things become.

Jack encounters an insider within the militia group who reveals the horrific details of the mercenaries’ true intentions. He presents Jack with an unsettling choice: battle the deadliest mercenaries, or condemn the human race to a maniac’s insidious agenda.

Kareena Kapoor may or may not be flattered. But Saif Ali Khan is going to love it. One hears from a reliable source who was having lunch with two of the top Bollywood wives that Kareena Kapoor is easily their favourite.

And according to them the best choice to romance their star husbands. The reason is simple. For the last three years Kareena has been going steady with Saif Ali Khan. And there has not been even an iota of gossip about her. She has a clean character chit. Says one star-biwi, “Bebo and Saif are so much in love. It is a pleasure to see them together. Kareena really has eyes for no man except her Saifu. And believe me I feel safe when my husband is working with her in a movie.” 

The wives apparently admitted that Kareena is also one of the most talented actresses and the reigning Bollywood diva. So it is all the more easier for them to convince their star husbands to consider Bebo as their first choice. 

It is common knowledge that Kareena has movies with all the leading Khans — RA.1 with Shah Rukh and also Rohit Shetty’s remake of Angoor, Short Term Shaadi with Imran, Reema Kagti’s thriller with Aamir, Agent Vinod with Saif (here she would be the obvious choice anyway) and Bodyguard with Salman (here Bebo has Salman’s entire family’s vote in her favour.) 

She is also slated to do Golmaal-4 with Ajay Devgn if and when that happens. And her agent is in talks for a Rohit Shetty film with Akshay Kumar. 

Despite all the tall claims from the top Bollywood leading men saying that their wives do not interfere in their professional decisions, one has to give this story credence because we know that a top heroine was dropped from Tees Maar Khan because the wife didn’t approve of her. And another girl lost out on a movie with Hrithik Roshan earlier for a similar reason.We rest our case here.

लौकी का जहरीला जूस पीने से दिल्ली के एक वैज्ञानिक की मौत की खबर के बाद यहां इस सब्जी के खरीदारों का टोटा हो गया है. इससे परेशान सब्जी वाले आम लोगों को मुफ्त में लौकी का जूस पिला रहे हैं, ताकि लौकी पर उनके भरोसे को फिर कायम किया जा सके.

शहर के राजकुमार मिल क्षेत्र स्थित सब्जी मंडी की यह दुकान कुछ अलग है. इस पर सब्जियां नहीं, लौकी का जूस मिलता है. वह भी एकदम मुफ्त.

सब्जी कारोबारियों के संगठन के उपाध्यक्ष किशोर मरमट ने कहा कि यह दुकान लौकी पर आम आदमी का भरोसा फिर कायम करने के लिये खोली गयी है.

मरमट ने कहा, ‘मीडिया के जरिये जब से यह खबर फैली कि लौकी का जहरीला जूस पीने से दिल्ली के एक वैज्ञानिक की मौत हो गयी, तब से लौकी के इक्का-दुक्का खरीदार बचे हैं. इससे हमारा धंधा मंदा हो गया है और स्टॉक में रखी लौकी खराब हो रही है.’ वह लोगों को लौकी का मुफ्त जूस पिलाने के बाद यह बताना नहीं भूलते कि ‘गुणकारी लौकी सेहत के लिये अमृत की तरह है और आमतौर पर हजारों में से एक-आध लौकी ही जहरीली निकलती है.

वेलिंग्टन। न्यूजीलैंड में एक आदमी को उस वक्त गोली लगी जब उसका पालतू कुत्ता कारतूसों से भरी एक रायफल पर कूद गया।

नॉर्थलैंड क्षेत्र में शनिवार को हुई इस घटना में कुत्ता दुर्घटनावश 0.22 रायफल पर कूद गया और ट्रिगर दबने से चली गोली से उसका 40 वर्षीय मालिक घायल हो गया।

समाचार पत्र ‘न्यूजीलैंड हेराल्ड’ के मुताबिक घायल व्यक्ति चार लोगों के उस समूह में शामिल था जिन्होंने हाल ही में एक घरेलू सूअर की हत्या की थी। वे एक वाहन में सवार हो रहे थे तभी रायफल चल गई।

घायल व्यक्ति को तुरंत अस्पताल ले जाया गया। पुलिस के मुताबिक कुत्ते के मालिक की हालत ज्यादा गंभीर नहीं है और सौभाग्य से उनका जीवन बच गया है।

Hope you will follow these guidelines from 11th June to 11th July 2010.

1. You should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.
2. During World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will see the wilder side of me.
3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don’t mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me.
4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require something to eat or drink. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, and answer the telephone.
5. Please don’t make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV in the afternoon, unless they replay a good game that I missed.
6. Please, please, please!! If you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say “get over it, it’s only a game”, or “don’t worry, they’ll win next time”. If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called “words of encouragement” will only lead to a quarrel.
7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime scores is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying “one” game; hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to “spend time together”.
8. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that require my attendance because:
   (a)I will not go,
   (b) I will not go, and
   (c) I will not go.
9. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.
10. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every morning is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying “but you have already seen this…why don’t you change the channel to something we can all watch?” because, the reply will be “Refer to Rule # 2 of this list”.
11.  And finally, please save your expressions such as “Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 years”. I am immune to these words, because after this comes the UEFA Champions League, the English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Spanish League and Italian Serie A, FA Cup, Europa League etc and etc.

Thank you for your cooperation

Your Loving Husband

सुबह सुबह मैडम का चाय ले कर आना
थोडा शरमाते हुये हमें नींद से जगाना,
वो प्यार भरा हाथ हमारे बालों में फिरना,
मुस्कुराते हुये कहना की…

डार्लिंग चाय तो पी लो,
जल्दी से रेडी हो जाओ,
आप को ऑफिस भी है जाना…

घरवाली भगवान का रुप ले कर आयी थी,
दिल और दिमाग पर पूरी तरह छाई थी,
सांस भी लेते थे तो नाम उसी का होता था,
इक पल भी दूर जीना दुश्वार होता था…

५ साल बाद……..

सुबह सुबह मैडम का चाय ले कर आना,
टेबल पर रख कर जोर से चिल्लाना,
आज ऑफिस जाओ तो मुन्ना को
स्कूल छोड़ते हुए जाना…

सुनो एक बार फिर वोही आवाज आयी,
क्या बात है अभी तक छोड़ी नही चारपाई,
अगर मुन्ना लेट हो गया तो देख लेना,
मुन्ना की टीचर्स को फिर खुद ही संभाल लेना…

ना जाने घरवाली कैसा रुप ले कर आयी थी,
दिल और दिमाग पर काली घटा छाई थी,
सांस भी लेते हैं तो उन्ही का ख़याल होता है,
अब हर समय जेहन में एक ही सवाल होता है…

क्या कभी वो दिन लौट के आएंगे,
हम एक बार फिर कुंवारे हो जायेंगे…. ……..

Don’t walk in  front of me, I may not follow.

Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Friendship Day Quotes by:Albert Camus

Kabhi kabhi Aditi zindagi mein yuhi koi apna lagta hai.
Kabhi kabhi Aditi wo bichhar jaaye to ek sapna lagta hai.
Aise mei koi kaise apne aansu o ko behne se roke?
Aur kaise koi sochle everything’s gonna be ok?

Kabhi kabhi to lage zindagi mein rahi naa khushi aur naa mazaa.
Kabhi kabhi to lage har din mushkil aur har pal ek sazaa.
Aise mein koi kaise mushkuraye, kaise hasde khush hoke?
Aur kaise koi soch de everything’s gonna be ok?

Soch jara jaaneja tujhko hum kitna chahte hai.
Rotein hai hum bhi aggar teri ankhon mein aansu aate hai.
Gaane to aata nahi hai magar phir bhi hum gaate hai.
Ke Aditi maana kabhi-kabhi saare jahan mein andhera hota hai;
Lekin raat ke baad hi to sabera hota hai.

Kabhi kabhi Aditi zindagi mei yuhi koi apna lagta hai.
Kabhi kabhi Aditi wo bichhar jaaye to ek sapna lagta hai.
Hey Aditi Hasde hasde hasde hasde hasde, hasde tu zara.
Nahi to bus thora thora thora thora thora, thora mushkura.

Tu khush hai to lage ke jahan mein chhaayi hai khushi.
Suraj nikle baadlon se aur baatein zindagi.
Suun to jara madhosh hawa tujhse kehne lagi.
Ke Aditi wo jo bichhad-te hai ek na ek din phir mil jaate hai;
Aditi jaane tu ya jaane na phool phir khil jaate hai.

Kabhi kabhi Aditi zindagi mei yuhi koi apna lagta hai.
Kabhi kabhi Aditi wo bichhar jaaye to ek sapna lagta hai.
( Hey Aditi Hasde hasde hasde hasde hasde, hasde tu zara.
Nahi to bus thora thora thora thora thora, thora mushkura.
