Conspiracy theorists say that SRK made inappropriate comments about Ash.

Govinda’s daughter Narmmadaa Ahuja ready to act

Bollywood News:  It seems Bollywood has become all about Generation Next. Last year Shatrughan’s buxom daughter Sonakshi made a splash in Dabangg. This year may well be the turn of Govinda’s little girl Narmmadaa Ahuja, who is all set to star in as many as three films – a love story, a romantic comedy and a pure comedy. But the star kid is tightlipped about her debut project. All she will say is a cool and correct “I’m happy to work with a well known production house in this romantic comedy”. And what about her leading man in the film? “My co-star is not a newcomer. I can’t reveal any other detail,” says a reticent Ahuja, who has studied action at the Kishore Namit Kapoor Institute in Mukmbai and the London Film Institute. That’s all very well. But does Bollywood Actor Govinda’s gudiya have daddy’s comic gene intact? We can’t wait to find out.

NEW BMW MOTORRAD BIKE

BMW MOTORRAD RECALLS NORTH AMERICA MADE F650, F800 AND G650 MOTORCYCLES After cars, it is motorcycle recall time for BMW. The German car and motorcycle maker, which just recalled the BMW 1 Series Coupe sometime ago is saddled with a new recall. In the past, BMW Motorrad recalled 122,000 motorcycles with braking issues. Now, another new problem has manifested, although in a lesser measure in terms of number of motorcycles affected. The latest recall involves two potentially life threatening issues.

Number one: A potential roll gear pin’s mounting attachment failure leading to it breaking. This could happen on the 2007 and 2008 G 650 models leading to the rear wheel of these motorcycle locking up. If this does happen, a crash is most likely.

Number two: The drive chain may snap in the 2008 and 2009 F 650 GS and F 800 GS models resulting in the rear wheel locking up as fragments of the chain might get entangled in the sprocket. this also could lead to a very nasty crash.

To make sure that all is well with these motorcycles, BMW Motorrad is recalling these motorcycles which have been manufactured at it’s North American plant. Lets hope that the problems get sorted out at the earliest before it claims or maims a precious life.

Billiard & Snooker

Snooker:

A game of snooker consists of at least three frames and begins with 22 balls on the table: the cue ball, 15 red balls (1 point each), one yellow (2 points), one green (3 points), one brown (4 points), one blue (5 points), one pink (6 points) and one black (7 points).

Points are built up by pocketing - hitting a ball into a corner or side pocket on the table. Players must pocket a red ball first, followed by a coloured ball of choice.

When all 15 red balls have been cleared from the table, a player must pocket the coloured balls in order of value, starting with the lowest (yellow).

The winner of a frame is the player with the highest point total from pocketed balls and fouls once the table has been cleared. Unless a break begins with a free ball, the maximum any player can score from one visit to a table is 147, which is only possible if a player pockets a black after every red ball.

Billiards:

In a standard game of billiards, a player scores points by pocketing balls and may continue shooting until a shot, or pocket is missed

                                                                                                                                                               Rules

Billiards, carom, pool and snooker are all games played between two players on a special table covered in green baize. Players use a cue to strike the cue ball with the aim of hitting other balls or pocketing them.

Brace yourselves for the beginning of the end, 'Potter' fans. The first 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' trailer is online, and, while it's more of a teaser (with a running time of less than a minute), it does give us a crucial glimpse into the look and feel of the final two cinematic chapters in the boy-wizard saga. the beginning of the end, 'Potter' fans.

We get flashes of a lonely house by the beach, a goblin, Hermione (Emma Watson) with bloodied hands, an unconscious Harry, a flight through the forest, and the uncovering of a gravestone that reads Ignotus Peverell, as well as Harry, Hermione and Ron hiding among the Muggles. The teaser ends with Ollivander warning, "You really don't stand a chance."

India-Pakistan border match gains support

MELBOURNE: India`s Rohan Bopanna and Pakistani Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi on Thursday urged their governments to allow a tennis match across their heavily fortified border, as support grows for the symbolic event.

Bopanna and Aisam, the “Indo-Pak Express” who hope their doubles partnership can help their bitterly divided countries, said the initiative was now backed by the world tennis body and an international peace group.

The pair are pushing for a match using a net strung across the famed Wagah border crossing, as part of their “Stop War Start Tennis” campaign. India and Pakistan have had three wars since the end of British colonial rule.

Qureshi said the International Tennis Federation (ITF) had thrown its support behind the scheme, along with Peace and Sport, a non-governmental organisation run by Prince Albert of Monaco.

“A lot of good things have been achieved, the ITF is now supporting this and Peace and Sport is also supporting this,” Aisam said.

“The letters have gone to both the prime minister and president of both countries.

“It is a political issue and there are a lot of security concerns, so we are just hoping that the governments will give us the green light so we can play that match on the border.”

Aisam and Bopanna, who were finalists at last year`s US Open, are confident of a positive response from their respective governments.

“Things are going in the right direction,” Aisam said.

“Last year, at the US Open, both the UN Ambassadors for Pakistan and India came and watched our matches, which was a huge thing and they are supporting the cause as well.

“Things are going in the right direction, we just have to keep playing our matches and get more and more publicity on the bigger occasions.

“Hopefully it will happen this year.”
