Poor poor Taslima Nasreen.All she did was express her views in a book and BAM !,she was attacked by MLA's (representatives of people,part of a democratic and secular government), and there are orders from some cleric to behead her.This is not the first incident of this kind.Another victim is Salman Rushdie.It's unfair to point out muslims.M.F Hussain was attacked (though only verbally) regarding

First the cops get those fancy laser guns,then they get those "interceptor" vehicles,and now they have started putting up all those speed limit signs.Ok fine.They are successfully erecting a framework for regulating traffic and driving all those karizma-pulsar-unicorn-apache owners nuts.Good.But,whoever is selecting the speed limits,ought to rethink their values.Near my house,on a four lane road,

For all of you who have been complaining about the movie being an extended version of the TV show,you maybe partially right.The movie does feel a bit like the extended version of the TV show,but I believe that's because we have got used so much to the show.The Simpsons is such a great program because it survives on stupidity and surprise.So no matter how long or complicated the movie will be,we

Pick out the hair clip of the heroine.. 2. Rub it against some rock... 3. Voila ! You have a compass... 4. Call in Balakrishna.He'll carry you on his back and walk on water,or better,he'll lasso

One of the most anticipated of 2006,this movie is more technically flawed than it's previous version(The great Dhoom 1).Firstly there is no story,rather,the story was manipulated to fit the the 'stars'. The starting sequence itself is a dud,save those who want glamour and style over content and story.When Hrithik (one of the lead actors) falls onto the train and is fighting off
