Cheeni Kum to Leopard cub
The career graph of child stars is very unpredictable. After playing a dozen similar roles in films, TV and commercials, age kicks in, rendering them too old for the job. While very few manage to make the cut after growing up, a few like Urmila Matonkar and Aftab Shivdasani actually excel in their mature avatars as well.
But for now, child actor, Swini Khara is one who wants to cash-in optimally on her established nutty kid
Bollywood’s tryst with ‘real cinema’
When Sabrina Lall came out of the special screening of 'No One Killed Jessica', she was quite relieved. She wasn't concerned about the overdramatisation of the Jesicca Lall murder case nor was she bothered much about the dowdy depiction of her own character by Vidya Balan. All she wanted was that her sister should be shown in true light and Rajkumar Gupta managed to do that. Speaking after a special screening of the film, Sabrina had said, "When we agreed to let them make the film, my family and I had been warned about the Bollywood types but Rajkumar replicated almost every detail."

Top ten words that toddlers mispronounce
talk in mini sentences, but what's even more adorable is when they
get words all muddled-up. If you're a parent to a
toddler you may be nodding your head in agreement at the funny
words your toddler comes up with whilst learning to talk. It isn't
that surprising that toddlers mispronounce the same words over and
over again until the whole family are using the word 'pisghetti',
rather than spaghetti. The makers of Calpol, polled 700 parents to
see which words their toddlers were frequently getting tongue-tied
with - and the results are in!
1. 'Lellow' instead of 'yellow'. 70% of parents revealed their
little ones couldn't quite grasp this popular colour.
2. 'Pisphetti' instead of 'spaghetti' baffled 17.1% of
children
3. 'Wabbit' instead of 'rabbit' confused 9% of toddlers
4. 'Burstday' instead of 'birthday' tongue-tied 6% of kids

bollywood celebs Caught In The Web
'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' trailer
Not all stars have the good mood or patience to deal with abuses hurled at them in cyber space, a medium that provides anonymity. Shah Rukh Khan had not long ago briefly gotten off Twitter because he couldn’t handle the filthy comments that were flooding his page. When avenues such as Twitter, Facebook and blogs hit the net for the first time, most celebrities were thrilled. These media gave them a scope to directly reach out to fans without going through the press that, they felt, often distorted quotes. The flip side started showing

It is never too late to start again — especially in crime. A 90- year- old man, undeterred by a jail sentence, has churned out fake medical degrees in near industrial quantities becoming, arguably, the single biggest operator of his kind in the country.
Medical authorities and the government have put Balwant Rai Arora under the scanner for allegedly producing at least 50,000 fake doctors in Delhi and the NCR over the last 15 years — since 1995, when he began his racket.
All these ‘degrees’ have been given by the so- called Delhi Medical College, a fake institute which he runs

End of cold war? Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone ended two-year-old cat fight and bonded with each other at producer Deepak Vijan’s party
Looks like Saif has managed to play the peacemaker between his leading lady Deepika Padukone and lady love Kareena Kapoor. Contrary to the earlier rumours about a cat fight between the ladies, the two seemed to have put the past behind them.
Kareena's a ghost!
Last night, Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone attended Dinesh Vijan’s birthday party and were seen bonding with each other. Dinesh Vijan is a good friend of Saif and has worked with Deepika in ‘Love Aaj Kal’ and Kareena in ‘Agent Vinod’. Naturally he couldn’t choose between the two. A source present at the party said, “Contrary to all the apprehensions, there was no animosity between Deepika and Kareena. They greeted each other warmly and were seen having a conversation.” Deepika left the party at 1am whereas Kareena was seen hanging out till 2:30 am.
It was earlier reported that the two actresses cannot see eye to eye. Earlier when Deepika was asked in an interview about Bebo not getting along with female co-stars, Deepika had said, "Well that’s her insecurity I can’t do anything about that. But we’ve had no problems." Apparently, Kareena was also upset with Dippy for spreading rumours that she was the original choice for RA.One’s item song ‘Chammak Challo’.

Grim scenes as Blackberry cuts 2,000 jobs
Toronto, July 26 (IANS) There were grim scenes at the BlackBerry headquarters at Waterloo near here Monday after the most famous Canadian company axed 2,000 jobs - about 11 percent of its total workforce.
The biggest lay-off in the history of Research In Motion (RIM), which invented the smart phone, reduced its global workforce to 17,000 with one stroke.
Since many of those dismissed Monday belonged to its 9,000 strong local staff in Waterloo and nearby Cambridge, grim scenes were witnessed outside RIM plants soon after the BlackBerry maker announced the steepest job cuts in its history.
'Dozens of cabs were dispatched to company offices in Cambridge and Waterloo, where employees were escorted out the door by security guards moments after getting their layoff notices. Clutching manila folders, about 50 workers were led to waiting taxis which drove them home,' reported the local Hamilton Spectator.
'But if anyone was panicking within RIM on the day the company announced its worst job losses since its creation in 1984, no one would admit it publicly. The troubled high-tech firm, which employs about 9,000 locally, has laid off people before - 200 last month and another 220 nine years ago - but it's never faced a slashing like this,' the daily said.
The lay-offs come after RIM's declining market share, shrinking revenue, profit warnings and delays in replacing the aging handsets. RIM stock, which has sunk nearly 60 percent this year, further slipped more than four percent to close at $25.19 Monday after the lay-offs.
But technology analysts expect even more job cuts by the troubled BlackBerry company.
According to Sameet Kanade of Northern Securities here, job cuts at RIM would reach 3,000. However, these lay-offs wouldn't help RIM much as they would prove to be disruptive for it, he said.
'It doesn't help employee morale, it doesn't help the expectant financial performance,' said Kanade.
Marianne Peters, a chef who used to do catering for axed RIM employees, aptly summed up the despondent mood in the BlackBerry town, saying, 'It is a stressful time. There is a lot of uncertainty looming. They knew this was coming but not to this extent. They thought maybe a couple of hundred jobs, but not this.'
7 fashion tricks to make you look younger-instantly
The fountain of youth may be a myth (or not) but there smarter, clever ways to look young. The way you dress for one can determine your look. So get ready to throw out the old and ring in the new. We bring to you seven fabulous fashion tips to make you look and feel younger.
1. Try the new black - It's actually black and white; the combination makes you look sophisticated but still playful.
2. Experiment with a new trend - It updates your look and gives you a more youthful vibe.
3. Learn the power of shapewear - They can give you a sleeker line by invisibly smoothing the areas that bulge out a bit. A more supportive bra adds lift - and subtracts years.
4. Show some leg - Who said that once you're 40, hems should be below the knee? At the knee or just above is most flattering.
5. Skip the Mommy jeans - A dark wash, lower waist, and slimmer-cut jeans will give you the impression of legs you had in high school.
6. Go casual - A T-shirt under your jacket instead of a buttondown shirt, for example, can make you look younger.
7. Keep it in proportion - A slim pant, paired with a longer tunic, will take away years (and conceal extra pounds).
Once you are fat, chances are you will never get slim!
London, July 25 (ANI): Researchers claim that fat people, who lose weight either by dieting or exercising, will put it all back on again within a year.
Their study of 25,000 people provides further evidence of the prevalence of "yo-yo dieting" where slimmers get into a cycle of losing weight and regaining it, reports the Daily Mail.
The scientists, from the Medical Research Council"s National Survey of Health and Development, have concluded it is better to avoid getting fat in the first place.hey followed 5,362 men and women from their birth in 1946 and 20,000 from birth in 1958, measuring their weight and blood pressure and assessing their lifestyles. The researchers found both groups began gaining weight in the 1980s and have steadily increased in size ever since.
Dr Rebecca Hardy, the council's programme leader on body size, said: "Once people become overweight, they continue relentlessly upwards. They hardly ever go back down.
"A few lose weight but very few get back to normal. The best policy is to prevent people becoming overweight.
"For men [weight] goes up steadily through life. For women it starts slowly and accelerates in the mid-thirties," she added.
But the study's findings do not mean dieting is pointless, as eating less and taking more exercise can increase fitness and lower blood pressure. (ANI)

South African man wakes after 21 hours in morgue fridge
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A South African man awoke to find himself in a morgue fridge — nearly a day after his family thought he had died, a health official said Monday.
Health department spokesman Sizwe Kupelo said the man awoke Sunday afternoon, 21 hours after his family called in an undertaker who sent him to the morgue after an asthma attack.
Morgue owner Ayanda Maqolo said he sent his driver to collect the body shortly after the family reported the death. Maqolo said he thought the man was around 80 years old.
"When he got there, the driver examined the body, checked his pulse, looked for a heartbeat, but there was nothing," Maqolo told the Associated Press.
But a day after staff put the body into a locked refrigerated compartment, morgue workers heard someone shouting for help. They thought it was a ghost, the morgue owner said.
"I couldn't believe it!" Maqolo said. "I was also scared. But they are my employees and I had to show them I wasn't scared, so I called the police."
After police arrived, the group entered the morgue together.
"I was glad they had their firearms, in case something wanted to fight with us," Maqolo said.
He said the man was pale when they pulled him out.
"He asked, 'How did I get here?'" Maqolo said.
The health department said the man was then taken to a nearby hospital for observation and later discharged by doctors who deemed him stable.
Kupelo, the health department spokesman, urged South Africans to call on health officials to confirm that their relatives are really dead.
The man's family was informed that he was alive during a family meeting convened to make funeral arrangements. They're very happy to have him home, Maqolo said.
But Maqolo said he is still trying to recover from the traumatic experience.
"I couldn't sleep last night, I had nightmares," he said. "But today I'm much better."
