Can India win Todays Match

I think Luck favors for India today. Gilchrist was not out given out in the first over. After that Ishanth and sresanth bowled full of half bollly. Hayden Damages early but he has gone out. If India restrict australia within 225 we can win the match.We should take clarke and symonds as soon as possible.
The match lies in the hands of Sachin and schewag. If they went on to give a good opening partnership we can win the match. I think Yuvi should work hard. Most importantly he should concentrate on match and not on Deepika padukone. He is yet to score a double digit in this series.
Lets hope this is the day for yuvi.

Rajini Vs SRK(Shah Ruk Khan)

Now that Kuselan, Rajinikanth's quickie before his Robot, is all set to take off, the gossip mongers are working overtime. Each day some new incredible rumour starts making the rounds.
The latest buzz is that director P Vasu plans to include a song that will have some of Tamil cinema's biggest stars sharing screen space together for the first time ever.

One of the most popular songs from this film was All Hot Girls, which featured 31 major stars from Bollywood.


In OSO, Shah Rukh Khan plays a superstar who throws a party after winning an award. Since Kuselan is also about a superstar, Vasu is eager to include a similar sequence in the film.

Although sequences similar to the one in Om Shanti Om have been shot many a time in Bollywood, one has never seen similar sequences in Tamil cinema. But Vasu, who has good rapport with all the stars, hopes to achieve the impossible with Rajini's help.

According to sources, Kamal Haasan, Ajith, Vijay Vikram Trisha, Nayantara and Namitha, are some of the popular actors who Vasu hopes will feature in this song.

The official confirmation is expected soon.

Sania Pulls out from Bangalore Open

Sania made shocking decision today, that he quits the Bangalore open. The reason she stated was "she wants to avoid being dragged into fresh controversies which have been dogging her career of late".


The 21-year-old Sania has cited the petty controversies that have been chasing her for quite some time as the main reason for the surprise pullout.

Her talk on Press meet "I am not playing in Bangalore Open. I have been advised by my manager not to play (there) because a lot has been happening in the past few months.Everytime I have played in India, there has been some kind of problem. So we just thought it was better not to play this time"

Ever since her breakthrough 2005 season, Sania has been battling controversies ranging from her on court attire being dubbed indecent by Islamic fundamentalists to the recent flag controversy during the Hopman Cup in December last year.

In fact, the off court furores had shaken the world number 29 to such an extent that she had contemplated giving up the game altogether a few weeks before last month's Australian Open.

Sania said she always faced some problem or the other whenever she has played in India. She also stated she hasn't recovered from her hamstring injury.She had an MRI scan done and it's a 5 cm tear of the adductor muscle but the injury is healing, at least there is not much pain. So she have decided not to play in the Bangalore Open.

'Gay Jesus' angers Aussie church leaders

A controversial play that depicts Jesus being seduced by Judas and conducting a gay marriage for two apostles has been condemned by church leaders ahead of its opening in Sydney.

The Anglican Bishop of South Sydney, Robert Forsyth, expressed his outrage at the plot of Corpus Christi on Sunday, calling the play "historical nonsense".

"It is deliberately, not innocently, offensive and they're obviously having a laugh about it," he told the Sun-Herald newspaper. "I wouldn't want to go and see it. Life's too short."

Set to open on February 7 as part of Sydney's annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras festival, Corpus Christi depicts Jesus and his followers as gay, and ends with Jesus being crucified.

Despite critical acclaim, the play provoked protests and bomb threats when it was performed in the United States.

Playwright Terrence McNally received a death edict, or fatwa, from a UK-based Islamic group, which declared it blasphemous when the play ran in London in 1999.

McNally, who is gay, has said he wrote the piece to explore parallels between Christ's persecution and the rejection he faced as a young gay man growing up in Texas.

Sydney Mardi Gras organizers describe it on the festival Web site as "a play that speaks out against inhumanity by providing a witty, contemporary interpretation of Jesus' life" . Director Leigh Romney, who is staging the work in Australia, rejected accusations the play mocks Christ.

Rowney said that as a Christian himself, he was keen to provoke debate.

"I wanted this play in the hands of a Christian person like myself to give it dignity but still open it up to answering questions about Christianity as a faith system," Rowney said.
