Shraddha Kapoor, need we say more? There wouldn’t be single movie lover in this country who saw her and immediately didn’t fall in love with her. She arrived big on the scene with the role of Arohi in Aashiqui 2 and never looked back again. And if that wasn’t enough, the actress made us love her even more with that Butterfly-Waterfall shot of Galliyan in Ek Villian. Well, it’s her birthday today, and we decided to let you in on some very interesting facts of the petite actress.

shraddha-kapoor-sweet-smile

Shraddha is a half Maharashtrian as her father Shakti Kapoor is a Punjabi guy and her mother Shivangi is a Maharashtrian and Shraddha is  of predominantly Marathi ancestry. Kapoor’s family members, including her father Shakti Kapoor and mother Shivangi Kapoor, her elder brother Siddhanth Kapoor, her two aunts Padmini Kolhapure and Tejaswini Kolhapure are actors in films.

shraddha_kapoor_5-wide

Shraddha Kapoor contrary to the popular belief ( yeah ! Not Aashiqui 2 or Love Ka The End ) made her début with Amitabh Bachchan in Teen Patti. It was however after Aashiqui 2 that she truly became a raging star in the country.

shr5Shraddha Kapoor had also been selected to play the titular role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s My Friend Pinto. However after Teen Patti received poor response, Shraddha was replaced with Kalki Koechlin. Thankfully for us, she got the role of Arohi not much later. And the rest is history.

shraddha-kapoor02-1920x1080Shraddha favorite song is “With the sunshine” by Ocean Drive while her favourite book is “Shantaram“ By Gregory David Roberts.

Shradha-Kapoor-PhotoshootShraddha Kapoor, the fiesty actress of Haider in an interview revealed that she is Astraphobic ( The Fear Of Lightning and Thunders ). Lightning scares the wits out of this beautiful actress.

16168280-1The actress is pretty much a  ‘chai‘ addict ( or ‘Chai’ nese if you will ). Shraddha loves to have her cup of tea sitting in the sea-facing corner of her apartment. Shraddha’s obsession with chai is such that she deals with all her issues while sipping her favourite tea. That’s pretty good no?

Movies_Shradha_Kapoor_041509_Shraddha loves romantic movies and her favorite one is “Pyasaa“. While choosing her dad’s movie she liked “Andaz Apna Apna“. Shraddha Kapoor is a huge fan of Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan. She loves Priyanka Chopra and Nutan while  choosing her best out of actresses. Shraddha also has a huge celebrity crush on Johnny Depp.

shraddha-kapoor__693443Kapoor was trained as a singer since her childhood as her maternal grandfather and mother are classical singers and later marked her singing debut in the 2014 romantic track Galliyan. Later on she went on to sing for the Vishal Bharadwaj’s Haider as well.

 

Bollywood_Actress_Shraddha_Kapoor_Photoshoot_in_Black_Top_HD_WallpaperKapoor established herself as one of the most popular celebrities in India according to Google Trends she ranked at number 7 in 2013 and at number 8 in 2014 among the ″Top 10 Bollywood actresses″. In late 2013, a poll conducted by FHM India ranked Kapoor at position five on ″100 Sexiest Women In The World 2013″. She also rated at number 6 in ″India’s Most searched celebrities in 2014″ poll which was held by McAfee.

Hyderabad’s RGIA Is Ranked Third Best Airport Across The World

0

Looks like the city of Hyderabad is in great form! If the recent Mercer Quality of living survey ranked Hyderabad as the best city in India to live, it is now the turn of RGIA to scale up status of Hyderabad higher. The ACI Airport Service Quality  has ranked Hyderabad as the 3 best airport in the world and this has been the seventh year consecutively.

The airport which is operated and managed by GMR Hyderabad International Airport will receive this award at the ASQ Awards ceremony which is scheduled to take place this April.

“It is a moment of great pride for us since we have had the rare honour of being ranked among the global top three airports from the very first year of operations and this year’s award marks the 7th year in a row that we have won this recognition”, said SGK Kishore, CEO, GHIAL

ACI carries survey at 300 airports around the world and ranks the airports on the service quality which represents the passenger’s feedback in 34 areas of service. The airport is ranked 3rd best in the million passengers per year traffic category.

Reebok Pumps It Up Quite Literally..Run To Reveal Sneakers..!!

0

Reebok just made running instantly rewarding. Last weekend in Stockholm, the brand put up an outdoor ad equipped with a built-in speed cam and tracking technology to measure pedestrians’ pace. Anyone who ran past the ad faster than 17 kilometers per hour (about 10.5 miles per hour) unlocked a brand new pair of ZPump 2.0 shoes.

rbk 2We have no idea how fast 17 kph really is, but this kind of thing is clearly perfect for riling up a crowd of people. “We really like the idea of taking a classic billboard and turning it into something disruptive and unique,” says Markus Schramm, creative at ad agency Animal, which devised the stunt. “This gives customers an instant experience, and as a brand, we’re able to provide something of real value.”

rbk 1“For us at Reebok, it’s important to do things for real and to actually activate the target group,” adds Filip Lagerbäck, PR and social manager at Reebok Nordic. “We want to inspire people to run and push their limits, even when they’re not at the gym. That’s what our tagline ‘Be More Human’ is all about.”

New Indian Currency Notes …And Here’s How You Recognize Them..!!

0

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Tuesday said it will shortly put into circulation New Currency Notes in the denominations of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 incorporating three new/revised features. And don’t go bonkers next time you look at them ( No your vegetable seller didn’t con you with those notes ). Here’s How You Recognize them..

Feature One : Ascending Size Of Numerals
RBI explained the feature as being – the numerals in both the numbering panels of banknotes will be in ascending size from left to right, while the first three alpha-numeric characters will remain constant in size.

Feature Two : Bleed Lines On The Side
The banknotes of Rs 500 denomination will have five angular bleed lines in three sets of 2-1-2 lines on the obverse in both, the upper left and the right hand edge of the banknote. Rs 1,000 banknotes will have six angular bleed lines in four sets of 1-2-2-1 lines on the obverse in both, the upper left and right hand edge of the banknotes. These will facilitate identification of these notes by visually impaired persons, RBI said in the press release.

Feature Three : Enlarged Identification Marks
The existing identification mark (circular-shape in Rs 500 and diamond in Rs 1,000) near the left edge of the banknote will have been enlarged.

12

” The current banknotes will be without inset letter in the number panels. The notes will bear signature of Raghuram G Rajan, Governor. The year of printing (2015) appears on the reverse. Except for these features, the overall design of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 banknotes have been retained,” the central bank said.

When FlipKart Listing Having An IIT Graduate For Sale, Caught Our Attention..!!

0

Akash Neeraj Mittal had a brilliant brain wave of putting himself for sale on FlipKart, in the form of product placement. This was his idea of getting himself recognized over the chaotic hordes of unemployment. However, we still don’t understand why an IIT Kharagpur Graduate Specializing in Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture, would resort to this pretty quirky way of promoting himself. The author of ” It Wasn’t Her Fault ” we stand to believe never got an employment which he properly deserved. And then he took the idiom ‘ Sell Yourself ‘ a bit too seriously as he got himself enlisted on Flipkart.  You got to give the guy one thing, he had a good brain wave. The idea he had, ensured that he got noticed by every employer out there, and somehow we hope it would land him a job or get him some real good deals.

Hyderabad Just Showed It’s Swag – Enter HeliRides For The City..!

0

K T Rama Rao, IT Minister of Telangana, as part of revamp of Telangana Tourism introduced Helicopter rides ( HeliRides ) over the city at 10 AM at an event in Necklace Road. After the success of hot air balloon rises in December, Hyderabad citizens will now be able to enjoy helicopter rides to have a bird’s eye view of the historic city.

Speaking at the event, KTR said  that he hopes this initiative is successful as it is affordable and enjoyable at the same time. Hyderabad Aerial trip is an initiative by ‘Heli Tourism in Hyderabad’ in collaboration with Indwell Aviation Private Limited. The 10-15 minutes joy ride will cost Rs 3,500 per person. If this initiative receives a good response, the government is planning to start similar services in various places like Nagarjuna Sagar, Warangal, Karimnagar, Nallamalla forest and along Godavari river.

So let’s fly and make it count already.

10 Things That Happen When Girls Are On Their Period..!!

0

By Ritika Chhabria

When girls are on their period, there are things that are a very regular thing for them, those things which just happen, with no particular reasoning or explanation as such. Here’s some of them !

Killer Mood Swings

no 1.

The feeling of hitting someone, feeling sorry for thinking of that and wanting to do that anyway, is something that can happen in split seconds when you’re on your period. The feeling of being too emotional is also what one experiences very frequently at that time.

Chocolate Drives

no 2.

This intense craving to eat chocolate is something that drives us. Whether it’s a chocolate or a chocolate flavoured pastry, it doesn’t matter; some form of chocolate has to go in.

Girl to Girl Talks

no 3.

‘Talks’ happen when girls are on their period. With hormones flying everywhere and a roll of emotions inside, some of these are very funny and some of them are pretty serious.

Sleeping Positions

no 4.

Yes we try to sleep carefully, maybe on one side, maybe not. We don’t sleep at attention the entire time. We just try to find a comfortable posture.

White clothes

no 5.

White clothes are an absolute no no when on your period. Like they say, safety first

Stigma Attached

no 6.

“Don’t go there”, “Don’t touch that” are some common lines that are heard at the time of the month. Now a days we question them but actually these stigmas make no sense to me!

The Ominous Newspaper/ Black Plastic Bag

no 7.

When you see a girl trying to hide a newspaper  or a plastic bag in front of/behind her, don’t question her about it, just don’t.

Anger doesn’t always mean we are PMSing

no 8.

Yes, we are moody around the time of the month, but that doesn’t mean whenever a girl is angry she is on her period. Sometimes the reasons are legit!

Staying away from Water

no 9.

We are far away from pools and other water sports around that time, atleast most of us are.

Trying to find a comfortable position

no 10.

When we are in pain, which is absolutely horrible pain, we try to move around trying to find the good spot, the spot where it doesn’t hurt that much. Oh and it’s not easy to find that spot, it involves a lot of sitting, standing and walking around.

 

Yup, that’s what it’s all about. Got any more that we missed?

Kerala news anchor gets 2,000 abusive calls on Mahishasur Jayanti..!!

0

Sindhu Sooryakumar, chief coordinating editor of Asianet News TV, says she has received over 2,000 abusive calls on her cellphone, allegedly from activists and sympathizers of various pro-Hindutva groups, accusing her of calling Durga a “sex worker” during the show.

However here in lies the actual twist in the tale, a video of the show, as seen by The Indian Express, shows that those defamatory words were read out by V V Rajesh, BJP state secretary, while quoting from pamphlets that he claimed were distributed on the JNU campus and later produced in Parliament by HRD Minister Smriti Irani.

Three days later, Kerala Police arrested five people based on a complaint filed by the journalist. G Sparjan Kumar, Commissioner of Police, Thiruvananthapuram city, told The Indian Express: “All of those arrested are connected to BJP, RSS and Hindu groups, including Sri Rama Sena.”

One of the five, from Thiruvananthapuram, told police that he got Sooryakumar’s number from a WhatsApp group called Sanga Dhwani, where a member shared her personal number and asked others to call and abuse her “for a Facebook post on Durga”.

Three others, who were arrested from Kannur, are members of Sri Rama Sena, the pro-Hindutva group involved in the Mangalore pub attack of 2009 and several other cases of moral policing.

“I have been getting a call every minute. The main allegation is that I abused Durga, calling her a sex worker,” Sooryakumar told The Indian Express.

“Most of the abusers called me a prostitute and abused me. Some threatened me while others didn’t even know what the charge was. I got a call this morning from someone asking whether I was Durga. Another person called me sometime ago, saying I had posted something against Durga on Facebook, and that he wanted to abuse me for that,” she said.

Sooryakumar added that BJP’s Rajesh assured her that he would assist in any investigation. “He said that he has clarified the situation to many of the party’s cadre who had called him. However, his party’s leadership still hasn’t disowned the rumour being spread in their circles,” she said.

Sooryakumar added that BJP-RSS leaders of the state have also remained silent. “All they have done is issue a general statement about freedom of the press,” she said.

On Monday, BJP’s Kerala chief Kummanam Rajasekharan evaded questions on the issue. “The BJP is a party that supports freedom of the press,” he told reporters. Later, in a Facebook post on his official account, Rajasekharan wrote that his party “has nothing to do with this issue”.

Police chief Kumar said investigators were tracing the Facebook user who first posted the rumour about Sooryakumar using derogatory words to describe Durga. He added that they were also tracing the WhatsApp groups that circulated the personal number of the journalist.

Sooryakumar said that routine operations of Asianet News Studio have also been affected with the channel’s numbers being inundated with “hundreds of calls” from those who could not reach her directly.

The state’s journalists’ union, meanwhile, organised a protest and a march to the Kerala Secretariat on Monday, seeking action against the culprits.

8 Best Hidden Snipers Going Incognito With Camouflage..!!

0

Do you know who a sniper is? well, the above guy is a sniper.

What is the Job of a Sniper? A sniper is a highly trained marksman who operates alone, in a pair, or with a sniper team to maintain close visual contact with the enemy and engage targets from concealed positions or distances exceeding the detection capabilities of enemy personnel.

Most sniper teams operate independently, their job is to deliver discriminatory, highly accurate rifle fire against enemy targets that cannot be engaged successfully by the regular rifleman because of range, size, location, fleeting nature, or visibility. Sniping requires the development of basic infantry skills to a high degree of skill.

Since a sniper should hide from being caught, they try the camouflage.

Can you identify the Snipers in these Pics?

Wirally World Cup FlashBack – Sachin’s Genius Innings Of 98 ( 2003 WC ) #PlayItBlue

0

Unless you are living under a rock, you might have known that ICC World T20 is just around the corner. So we at wirally decided to bring to you some incredible moments of Indian Cricket through the ages In World Cups ( ODI and T20 Included ). And there cannot be a better batsman to start off the proceedings than the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.

Edition : ICC World Cup 2003 

When they say matches are made in heaven, they meant ODI matches like these. India Vs Pakistan have always had contests which defied every expectations and made superstars of the players involved. And so it ensued on March 1st 2003, as Pakistan courtesy a composed innings from Saaed Anwar scoring a century, put up 273 for 7. But the fully packed Centurion Stadium in South Africa, had yet to see a knock which would create history. As was fated, the innings came through the lofty cover drives, and improvised pull shots of the little master. Eventually and unfortunately, his wicket was lost at a heart breaking score of 98 ( of 75 balls ) but only after he ensured that the game was in the bag.

‘The game against Pakistan was the biggest of my life. The buzz over this match had started in 2002….I remember a few innings and important among them is the innings against Pakistan in the 2003 World Cup.’
Sachin Tendulkar, quoted later in 2009

INDO-BRITISH FILMMAKER ASIF KAPADIA GETS AN OSCAR

0

By Akshata Shukla

As the frenzy of Oscars night settled in, the world media gradually started looking beyond the Chris Rock’s All White Monologue and Leonardo’s Save Earth Jubilation. And one name that stood out was of the winner of the best documentary, Amy. And of it’s director, an Indo-British filmmaker Asif Kapadia. The Oscar winning documentary “Amy” was based on the prolific life of pop sensation ‘Amy Winehouse’ and her sudden tragic death at the age of 27.

44 years old Asif was born in London to a Muslim British Indian Family. Though he is just 50% Indian but he has provided our nation a 100% reason to be proud of him. The tryst with awards, for Asif Kapadia goes back to the days of his first indie feature film, ‘Warrior’ shot in Rajasthan deserts which went on to win Grand Prix at the Dinard Film Festival, the Sutherland Award at the London Film Festival, the Evening Standard British Film Awards for the Most Promising Newcomer and the Douglas Hickox Award for Best Debut Film.

His journey furthered into more accolades, as his second feature Far North premiered at the Venice Film Festival, based on a dark short story by Sara Maitland. Kapadia used the brutal arctic landscape to show how desperation and loneliness drives a woman to harm the person she loves. Kapadia’s fourth feature, Senna, was the life story of Brazilian motor-racing champion, Ayrton Senna. Senna was the highest grossing British documentary of all time (£3.3m, $5.2m), the second highest grossing documentary of all time in the UK.

So lets hear it up for Asif Kapadia, and may he bring in all accolades he so very deserves. Watch the trailer of the documentary ‘Amy’ which brought him the coveted statue below..

 

 

 

FAN Official Trailer Is Out And It’s Nothing Like You Thought It To Be..!!

Shah Rukh Khan stars in a double role, in this fabulously made emotions driven official trailer. Following up his Jabraa Fan act, SRK gave out a little sneak peak of FAN official trailer earlier today, hinting at a very possible twist of events. And It was exactly that. The latest official trailer, shows The Fan ( Gaurav ) turn into a psychologically obsessed admirer of a superstar ( Aryan ).  Things go south, when the two sides of the coin, the two opposing forces meet. And did we say, Shah Rukh Khan appears to be in his prime acting form here and it appears to get him huge critical acclaim, that is if Jabraa fan didn’t bowl you out already. But do not expect anything of the cuteness from it to carry on. Cause, It Won’t. It instead is a thriller like never before.

And what better way to do it than, choose a Pitbull smash hit ‘ Fireball ‘ to really pump it up. Showing off their dance moves, they rap along with Pitbull’s thumping vocals.

The video features all the team members, with each of them coming across with their own style and swag statements.

Why Radhika Apte Is The Hottest Actress In Bollywood Today

0
Radhika Apte

Those hypnotizing eyes, those luscious locks and that stunningly, eye-grabbing smile. But it’s not just her good looks that’s got everyone going gaga. There’s just so much more to this beautiful lady.

  1. TRAINED THEATRE ACTOR

1 (1)

What’s more attractive than a girl who takes her career seriously? Apte hasn’t just joined the industry for fame. Acting means much more than plain romantic movies to her. And just like most of the girls out there, even she’s highly career oriented, and loves to work on her flaws to keep getting better. According to her, “Theatre gives you discipline. It helps you understand characters.???

  1. NOT IN IT FOR THE BIG FILMS

2

Unlike other celebs, she isn’t in the industry to work for the big movies. Radhika Apte had once stated to the Dailymail.co.uk, that she cannot pick between theatrical form of acting and on-screen acting. For her, theatre stage has honed her, while the screen has given her fame. Though, she’d choose stage over screen, anytime. Also, she has acted in several short films during her acting career. She has always wanted to become an actress and would take up any opportunity to act.

  1. VERSATILITY

3

And yet again, let it be short films or theatre stage, a Bollywood blockbuster or a Bengali serious drama, she can do it all! She loves playing different characters and is highly enthusiastic. “I want to do crossover as well as international films. I want to work in Bollywood films. I want to do it all,??? she says.  2015 is Apte’s most prolific year, with six films released in the first eight months. She’s up for any role, whether the character comes from a rural, poor, village background, or the role of a well-educated, elite and posh lady from the urban sector.

  1. CONFIDENT

5

One of Radhika Apte’s best qualities is the way she stands up for her views, with lots of confidence. This confidence of hers is so WIRAL, that it’s contagious. For instance, take that one interview she had with the Indian Express newspaper, where she made sure the world heard how wrong it is to objectify women, “I just cannot stand that whole thing like shaking your body and running around and I hope I won’t be a part of such movies. The ‘hero’ can’t always be shown as great and perfect.??? Well said, Radhika Apte, we support you!

  1. INTELLIGENT

4If you’re looking for an actress who has beauty and brains, Radhika Apte is the one! This lady isn’t simply just a pretty face, she has greater, and more beautiful and fascinating depths to her that most of the public is unaware of. And how exactly do we know that she’s intelligent? Well, we are dealing with a lady who knows seven different languages: English, Hindi Bengali, Marathi, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu. And here we thought being bilingual was related to being smart, if it were so, what should we call this beautiful piece of art?

What Else Does It Take To Be The Queen Of Indian Cinema. Nothing else right? Here’s wishing her all the very best and hoping she xontinues to amaze us with her undeniable acting prowess.

Someone inserted Donald Trump In Game Of Thrones…And The Result Is Eerily Hilarious..!!

0

Donald Trump In Game Of Thrones, is the combination we were all waiting for. With the race to the presidential election just about in it’s final leg, and the feverish peaks of Game Of Thrones Season 6 validating our daily lives now, someone came across a brilliant way to fuse both of these frenzies. And yes, Donald Trump plays every major harecter from across Westeros. His exchages with Tyrion and our very own Khaleesi will leave you cracked up for good. Just the correct dose of humour you needed to kick off the day.

Because It’s A Leap Day…You need to know these facts..!!

0

Monday, Feb. 29 is a leap day, the day inserted into the calendar every four years to keep our calendar operating smoothly. This extra day makes the year 366 days long, instead of 365 days like regular years.

Why add a leap day?: Leap days are needed to keep our calendar in alignment with the Earth’s revolutions around the Sun.The logic behind it is quite simple. It takes the Earth approximately 365.242189 days – or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds – to circle once around the Sun. This called a tropical year. Without an extra day on February 29 nearly every four years, we would lose almost six hours every year. After only 100 years, our calendar would be off by approximately 24 days.

Here Are Some Fun Facts About It….

  • Julius Caesar introduced the idea when he ordered his astronomer, Sosigenes, to simplify the calendar. Sosigenes opted for the 365-day year with an extra day every four years to scoop up the extra hours.
  • In Ireland, 29th February is called Bachelor’s Day, when women are allowed to propose to men. Queen Margaret of Scotland began the tradition in 1288. If a man refused the proposal, he would be fined with a kiss, a silk dress or 12 pairs of gloves.
  • The chances of having a birthday on a leap day are about one in 1,461.
  • The first warrants of the Salem witch trials were issued on February 29, 1692. The trials continued until early 1693 and resulted in the execution of 20 people and the death of seven others in jail.
  • Two women have given birth to three leap day babies, according to the New York Daily News. The Henriksen family from Norway had their children on leap days in 1960, 1964 and 1968. The most recent family to tie the record is the Estes family from Utah. Their children were born in 2004, 2008 and 2012.
  • The eighth premier of Tasmania, James Milne Wilson, was born on a leap day and died on a leap day in the 1800’s, according to the World Heritage Encyclopaedia.
  • In order to gain the trust of the indigenous people of Jamaica, Christopher Columbus used the lunar eclipse on February 29, 1504, to trick them. The local chiefs had stopped helping his crew with the food and provisions they had been supplying. Columbus warned them that God was going to punish them by painting the moon red. During the eclipse, Columbus said God would end the punishment if they cooperated. The chiefs capitulated and agreed to give them supplies, and saw that the lunar eclipse had ended.
  • One in five engaged couples in Greece will plan to avoid getting married in a leap year. They believe it is bad luck.
  • In 1960, the 5.7Mw Agadir earthquake shook Morocco. Its maximum perceived intensity was X (Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale. Between 12,000-15,000 people, about a third of the city’s population of the time, were killed and another 12,000 injured with at least 35,000 people left homeless, making it the most destructive and deadliest earthquake in Moroccan history.
  • In Russia it is believed a leap year is likely to bring more freak weather patterns and a greater risk of death all round.
  • In Taiwan, married daughters traditionally return home during the leap month as it is believed the lunar month can bring bad health to parents. Daughters bring pig trotter noodles to wish them good health and good fortune.

Know Before You Speak – A Look At What Turned JNU Issue Into Total Chaos..!!

0

By Tripada Bharati
The not-so-easy-dying JNU Row has protests and sloganeering at its centre. In fact, the whole row started off with alleged anti-national sloganeering at JNU campus on some occasion of debate and discussion commemorating the death of Afzal Guru. Since then, our country has been seeing a huge surge in protest marches, agitations, demonstrations in favor and against of the JNU Cause. In between, we also saw Jats violent protest for reservation and Journalists peaceful protest against the assault on journalists in the wake of Patiala court incident where few journalists were beaten down by a handful of lawyers. Prior to JNU, there was a nationwide protest in support of Rohith Vemula cause and presently the twin- matters, Rohith and JNU, have been going hand in hand with each other.

All these crucial news making incidents have protests, agitation, sloganeering- many a times violent, at its core. Raising voice in the form of peaceful protest is a democratic tool at everybody’s disposal but sometimes it does damage the basic ethos of constitution when it turns violent. And it has been seen that many a times that such opportunities are lost on the altar of politicization of the matter which serves its own ends. There is no denying the fact that there are more than a handful of politicians across parties who are good at stirring the sentiments of common people by their verging-on-violence speeches, delivered to attain their hideous designs. This particular act is called Rabble Rousing.  Violent sloganeering at protests also contributes to the same effect. So here is enlisted a few harmful effects of rabble rousing and violent sloganeering:

  1. Violent speeches and rhetoric can strip people off their reasoning and incites violence. It makes people think along the lines of hatred and divisiveness culminating into worst repercussions.
  2. It fuels, sectarian, communal biases and feeds hatred in public.
  3. It kills the very existence of nuanced analysis and helps propaganda instead.
  4. It helps in polarizing people along, communal, casteist lines thereby helping political parties who play divisive politics.
  5. Rabble rousing, at its worst, can culminate in violent rioting, communal violence and destruction of public property.

Online social world is a huge platform for common man to speak and make his voices heard. We carelessly share endless news, videos, memes, and whatever comes along with it, without even giving a second thought about checking their authenticity and suitability of the content. And so powerfully it works that we get swayed away irrationally and become a part of the mob without even realizing it. A recent video with #sharewithcare nicely captures how ignorant we are, especially youth, when they were asked questions about JNU saga and Afzal guru. The video appeals that we should do enough research before sharing anything on social media. 

In the wake of the ongoing JNU Row, our country is witnessing mass polarization in the name of Nationalism.  There is a deluge of articles, commentaries, debates and discussions on ‘Right to dissent’, ‘Freedom of speech’, ‘Nationalism’ across national media, online media and other online social portals. It would be in keeping with the democratic tradition of the country if we apply a nuanced approach to the debate of Nationalism. In a Nutshell, we as informed public, before giving in to any such rabble rousing; we must pause and think; think and act in sync with the democratic principles as outlined in the constitution.

‘Work So Hard That Even Luck And Fate Shouldn’t Matter!!’ – Vijay Deverakonda’s Exclusive Interview

0

Friend endhi raa…BEST FRIEND!! This one line from Yevade Subramanyam? will tell you what a flamboyant character Rishi was.

Vijay Deverkonda, the off-screen Rishi made many people pop their heads out and take a notice of him. He has proudly chosen himself to be an actor and very well knows the path he has to travel through. Calling himself a confused middle class guy end of day, he spoke his heart out saying that you’ve got to prove yourself when you have the right opportunity. After having a year of high, Vijay considers the up-hill task has just begun for him. He only looks hungry for more work and wants to challenge himself. Come along, let’s chat up for a while with him.

X17C4074

So, Hi Vijay..Been close to a year you gave the industry a character called Rishi. How have you been? How different has this first year of fame and fandom been?

I have been elated, I have been dejected, I have been overwhelmed and underwhelmed, I have been excited and annoyed, I have been happy and I have been stressed- but through all this I know what I am here for, so I have been focussed on it.

The first year of fame and fandom has been extremely fun, but you can get used to it too very quickly and are in search for the next high.

Awesome!! You look very positive and confident. So, what was Vijay prior to Rishi and why Rishi?

In my 10th grade my lecturer asked each of us to describe how we will remember each student of our class. About 8-10 people wrote Bindass against my name.

That was me, the happiest go lucky kid that nothing could worry, I’d see my way through every trouble, mischief and hurdle with a big grin. But then somewhere I changed massively and got obsessed with creating a name for myself in an industry that’s almost impossible to break into. I became a very serious boring boy with a one track mind. But playing Rishi brought back some of that spark for life into me.

The factor to go for the character was purely my desire to work with Nag Ashwin, the director. I knew his genius far before the world saw it I guess, and it was backed by Vyjayanthi films, who I now consider my mentors and family. And basically it’s not like I had any options, I needed that one good chance to give myself to. Rishi was it!

That was an honest one. And I must say you were spot on!

Thank you!

X17C4391

Rishi was an all exploring character discovering himself. A famous question every actor questions himself – ‘Who are you?’ How far have you discovered yourself?

Ah… That is a mystery. I am absolutely clueless in this regard. I am not even sure if there is a myself or a me. Am I just an outcome of my decisions and circumstances, a product of my environment, a life brought in here for a purpose or is just living to the fullest the purpose? I absolutely have no clue. Hopefully I’ll figure it out in my course.

You said a lot there. I am interested to know if your story had any moment where you said to yourself ‘Acting is what I want to do?’

It was never one moment. It started off as a story – I used to show off for the sake of it. At one point, I would tell my friends that I’ll be an actor just to make them jealous that I don’t need to study. The next time it would be with women. Somewhere I was like – ‘Shit, I’ve told too many people, I better start doing something about it’. Then I dropped weight and for the first time I saw that I could look like an actor. After that I started exploring the mental and physical dimensions. I’ve gotten somewhere but it’s still far from where I want to be as a performer. I hope to keep progressing each day.

That must have been a ride. Well, the industry has been a tough ground for any new comer. And you struck Gold. How much weightage you give hardwork vs luck/fate?

I was the brand ambassador for anti-hardwork. I always supported smart work! But I realised that you have to give in your everything because hard work is the only thing in our hands. We need to work so hard that even luck and fate shouldn’t matter.

True! That is an inspiring statement!! You have seen Industry from outside. Now you are inside it. How different is it?

I am inside – in the sense that I am doing back to back films. But in every other sense, I am still an outsider. I don’t have industry friends nor a manager. I work very independently. All I have is my mentors who launched me and I live like a nomad moving from one character to another, from one production family to another. End of the day, I am still the confused middle class boy.

Two

Wandering sorts! 😀 So, your characters would also be travelling with you. How you choose them in first case? Any homework?

I look at characters like a real person. So, I need to see some truth and reality in him. Only then will I know how he would behave a certain way or react a particular way. I would like to do way more homework and preparations for a character than I currently do. As a performer Inka bacha gadine anuko. Got lots to explore!

Tell me what drives you?

Creative restlessness, a thirst for doing something that everyone will talk about. A stimulating life! I’ve this one life I want to go all in and see how the cards play out and maybe find some purpose on the way. 😛

Amazing! So, now coming to your future endeavours, you are soon coming as the lead in Tharun Bhascker’s debut, #Pellichoopulu with Ritu Verma. Give a sneak peek into how we are going to see you? 

Have you ever yawned and laughed simultaneously? This will be the most hilarious yaaaawn of a film you’ll see. After Rishi I was getting all these offers for high energy roles, who wanted me to be like Rishi. I decided to go exactly opposite into the other extreme. This film is for everyone one of us who have been insulted at sometime in our life either by our parents, relatives, bosses, ex-girlfriends, colleagues, your watchman or even your maid for that matter for being good-for-nothing.

Sounds interesting and we are equally excited to see the output. This brings me to my next question – Telugu cinema has started to evolve better in terms of every field than what it was a few years back. Your comments?

It can only keep going upwards from here. 🙂 Happy to be a part of it! Hope to continue being a part of it.

Vijay-4361

We wish the same! Will we also get to see you in full time commercial/action roles or will you be restricting yourself to some particular genres?

No restrictions – I am already doing my first commercial film titled Dwaraka which is being produced by Super Good Films and Legend Cinemas. MSR is the director with good technical support from Shyam K Naidu and Sai Kartheek. But, I am trying to keep it as real as possible.

Good luck on that! Since you did theatre in Hyderabad, let me ask you this – Vijay as a theatre actor or Vijay as a film actor, who is dearer to you?

While doing theatre I wouldn’t like to perform in small auditoriums. I love big stages. So it’s film for me because of its reach and for the greater scope for telling a story.

And how often will we get to see you on screen?

I’d say you’ll be seeing a lot of me here on.  I have three lined up this year. Immediate project being #pellichoopulu by BigBen Cinemas and Raj Kandukuri. The next one is Dwaraka with Super Good Films & Legend Cinema. After this there is a super crazy cult film I am really looking forward to. It is Arjun Reddy  by Bhadrakali Productions under Sandeep Vanga’s direction.

Woahh! That’s a packed schedule. We’ll have to look forward for these movies. Good luck! Just to get a bit lighter, apart from being an actor, what you enjoy the most?

Thank you! I love sports. I could play and play all day all night. Volleyball, cricket, football, badminton, I love the outdoors.

One

Your fitness shows that! Any words from you side.

Let’s not litter our streets. We wouldn’t throw stuff in our house. And we call India our motherland. I hate litter and bloody high beam drivers, they drive my BP through the roof. So low beams please. 😉

Hey you guys out there – keep a check on that! Vijay, before we wrap up, I would like to take you through our ‘Quick Bites’.

Sure!

Here we go:

On a holiday, a good time with couple of friends or reading a book you love?

Good time with LOTS of friends.

Do you cry while watching movies?

Yes!!! I cry most when I see these reality singing/dancing shows where people audition and get selected.

Awww.. Let me help the girls out there with this set.

On a scale of 10, rate yourself on the following. (10 being highest)

As a romantic person – 1

As a socialite – 0

As a friend – 8

As an action herokoooodthe 100 eh!

What is the best compliment you received so far?

This Is Why Aligarh Needs To Be Watched By Every Socially Aware Indian

0

By Shahamat Hussain
Aligarh, the movie is based on the real life of Professor Shrinivas Ramchandra Sivas from the Aligarh Muslim University. The movie is directed by Hansal Mehta. This film profoundly portrays the life of a loner man who keeps an inclined attentiveness towards same gender. This film depicts the life of gay individuals in a larger societal context. It is a journey of a professor who fights for his job, home and also to reinstate his dignity. Although in the disclaimer, it’s evidently mentioned that some of the incident has been amended according to the media reports and chronicles, it still never shies away from addressing the actual happenings, in a realistic manner. 

112Manoj Bajpayee , the versatile actor that he is astonished the audience by his jaw dropping yet subtle enactment of palpable vulnerability and steely will at the same time. He rendered his character to be as fleshy as possible, as one who likes poetry, wine, soulful songs and but harbouring interest in the same gender who happens to be a rickshaw puller. He loses his professorship when he is shot on the camera sharing bed with the said rickshaw puller. The university (Aligarh) decides then to hound and defame the professor by taking defamatory actions against him.

_49b38436-d4a5-11e5-9f67-7d8bb840e754

Rajkumar Rao plays the role of the journalist (Deepu Sebastian) who looks in to the matter of the Sivas strongly. He investigates and teams up with professor Sivas following up the issue.  This film voices an unforgettable impression on the audience and communicates to the life of the people who are differently inclined in their choices and preferences. It is a movie which peeks in to the so called branding partaken by the society and brings the question out to open. As the movie very validly says, it does Speaks Out. It is an inner turmoil and melancholic life of the Professor who fights for his basic human rights. And in more ways than one, it holds up a mirror to the society we live in, and sadly the reflection in it is not always uncomfortable. Watch the movie to actually mull over questions which sometimes we fail to hear, in the chaotic cacophony that fills our lives.

Apple the tech company which needs no introduction, is always famous being one of the most elusive companies ever.

Hollywood Celebrities and their amazing stylists

0

By Chetna Kaushik
When you are a celebrity, that too hailing from Hollywood, what you wear becomes a part of who you are. In an award show, in a meeting, in a party, on a stage or on a street, the frenzied paparazzi is always behind you, and you need to look no matter what. You have to be at your best. And for that you need help sometimes, or most of the times. So here are some people who help our favourite Hollywood celebrities, look their best every single time we see them.

Brandon Maxwell – Lady Gaga

1Brandon Maxwell had a really great month, in March 2015. Not only did he make it onto The Hollywood Reporter’s list of the 25 most powerful stylists in Hollywood, but he’s also featured on the cover of the issue alongside client Lady Gaga. “With Lady Gaga, of course, you don’t really have to think about comfort,” says stylist Brandon Maxwell. “That’s not really the first thing that comes to her mind.”

Rushka Bergman- Michael Jackson

2After meeting Michael Jackson on the set of his 2007 L’Uomo Vogue cover shoot with Bruce Weber, Bergman began to work as Jackson’s creative consultant and stylist, and the two became close friends.[10] In addition to being his personal stylist, Bergman collaborated on his costumes for the This Is It concerts with haute couture designers Christophe Decarnin for Balmain.

Rachel Zoe- Jennifer Lawrence

3A celebrity in her own right, Zoe boasts clients such as Hollywood’s most in-demand film actress, Jennifer Lawrence (who commands more than $10 million per Hunger Games movie and recently upped her Dior contract for another three years for a rumoured $15 million), and TV’s highest-paid actress, Sofia Vergara (who earned $30 million last year from Modern Family and endorsement deals with Cover Girl, Kmart and Diet Pepsi).

Elizabeth Stewart- Bullock, Roberts, Jessica Chastain, Amanda Seyfried

4There’s power in numbers — and from the Cannes Film Festival to the Oscars, Stewart dressed ultra-A-listers Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts in 102 looks in total, with nary a fashion misstep.

PETRA FLANNERY-Adams, Danes, Stone, Sarah Paulson

5She dressed two of this awards season’s majors: American Hustle‘s Amy Adams and Homeland‘s Claire Danes. But even with such high stakes, Flannery prefers not to play it safe, i.e., Emma Stone‘s love-it-or-hate-it Chanel separates at the Globes.

MICAELA ERLANGER- Nyong’o, Michelle Dockery, Olivia Munn

6One Prada at a time, Erlanger took Hollywood newcomer Lupita Nyong’o from unknown actress to the one to watch on the red carpet — and landed her a major ad campaign with Miu along the way.

LESLIE FREMAR- Scarlett Johansson, Reese Witherspoon

7Charlize, Reese, Julianne, Scarlett — she’s one of the few with enough first name-only clients to rival this year’s top stylist, Stewart. While Moore and Theron spent much of the year off the carpet, 2013′s most powerful stylist delivered high-impact looks with Witherspoon and Johansson.

JEANANN WILLIAMS- Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber

8With her eye for finding simple yet impactful dresses, she consistently delivers crowd-pleasing looks, including client (and sister-in-law) Naomi Watts‘ white, sparkly Calvin Klein at the Oscars.

ERIN WALSH- Kerry Washington, Sarah Jessica Parker, Maggie Gyllenhaal

9“I love working with people who break the rules.”

Many of the stylists on THR‘s list are willing to take risks, but only Walsh has pushed the envelope with a pregnant client. Note Kerry Washington‘s baby bump-baring pink Prada crop top and high-waisted navy skirt at the SAG Awards (No. 20).

SOPHIE LOPEZ- Kate Hudson

10A fresh entry on the Hollywood stylist scene, Lopez has made the most of her entrée by dressing Kate Hudson in a much- praised gown at Oscars 2014.

It’s all about the new and the different. Fashion is something all of us are affected by.
And the people who make our favourite stars look amazing and beautiful work really hard for it.

7 Body Language Tricks To Maintain That Super Swag..!!

0

By Sravanthi Talluri

‘We are what we show we are’. There are not many truer statements than this. So we at Wirally, went in search of best Body Language Tricks for the best version of you.
( Courtesy : Quora )

Mirroring The Other Person…

7 In this technique we subtly mirror other persons body language, for example if they are sitting laid back you too should sit laid back, or if they are leaning in, you too should lean in.
This kind of mirroring subconsciously transmits deep dense of rapport and trust with other person.
Please take care that you do this very subtly, don’t over do it, else it might come of at desperate and freakish.

Feet Tell Many Tales…

1 This technique I am sharing is evil, In any conversation where you want the other person to invest more and perceive you as more powerful, consider your feet movement.
While you are having conversation and the other person shares an experience or some story, when they are at the ending of it slightly turn your feet away, or towards the exit, the other person will subconsciously notice this and they will have feeling that you are not interested/impressed by them and so they will start narrating a better story or sharing a better experience.

Orientation Is The Key…

6 Use the orientation of your body wisely!
This is a pretty interesting idea that keeps coming up from the works of pickup artists, relationships coaches and body language experts like Joe Navarro. The way in which your body is facing can say a lot about how you feel about a person, or a situation.
This ” body orientation ” trick is part of the idea that you can give positive and negative body language to someone. For example, turning your head away while someone is talking is negative body language. (Quite rude also!) Looking them in the face, positive body language. You’re paying attention.

Handshake Means So Much More…

4 The handshake is thought by some to have originated as a gesture of peace by demonstrating that the hand holds no weapon up their sleeves. Its been in existence for several centuries, and artefacts around the world have depicted the practice of the same. A handshake with a person, can tell you a lot about the way the conversation would progress. The Image below shows some of the different variants of handshake and what they mean.

Eye Contact To Make Good…

2 This is another most important act of your initial conversation to impart confidence and credibility to your speech. Try to maintain eye contact with your target person throughout the time. If you ever need to break eye contact for some reason, do it slowly and not in a jerk, abruptly breaking contact with the person. You would seem more uninterested if you break away eye contact whenever permits.
Beware of rapid eye blinking and staring completely blank at a person throughout the conversation, you might come out as creepy. Take little breaks of eye contact while coming up with your answers and blink normally while maintaining eye contact with the other person.

Gesticulate As In Movement Of Hands…

3 Not using articulated movement of arms and fingers while speaking is a bad way to communicate with someone. You will feel more rigid like a structure and come off completely insincere due to a lack of movement of your arms while talking. Gesticulation is completely normal and illustrates your enthusiasm and interest regarding the said topic. You must also try to show your thumbs in the front while talking, forming a teepee-like structure and not fold your hands while talking to someone.

Gesturing while talking also helps you in your thought process and establishes your credibility and interest in the topic. But care must be taken that you do not end up gesturing a lot, which will make them perceive you as an exaggerating lunatic.

Look for Humour In The Talk…

5 Bottom line, people love it when others find them alluring. Whether they want to be found funny, intelligent, or just cool, being on the same page with their idea of humour is a quick way to make them feel understood. Humour is such an individual and personal thing for everyone and most speeches (even dry ones) will contain some insight about their sense of it. If there’s a joke, laugh at it. If there’s a smug remark, allow a little knowing smirk to show up on your face. This is a form of mirroring (as many of these answers have talked about) and the speaker will truly appreciate it.

“Every Picture Clicked , Always Gets Frozen In Time” – An Interview With Photographer Apuroopa Reddy

0

It was some two years back, that I was scouting for some stock imagery, for a project of mine. I had something specific in mind, and therefore I scrolled through pages and stacks of pictures available on almost every hosting site available. And after almost six hours of doing that, something stopped my keys and cursor. A picture of a dried up maple leaf did it for me. It was simple, unique and yet very poetic and obscure. It made my day. And there in started my admiration for this immensely talented photographer, Apuroopa Reddy, who possessed a unique talent to say something incredibly beautiful, through the simplest of muses. However it was only last week, that I managed to interview her and actually see what went inside her creative mind…

12

Hey There Apuroopa…Long Time no? Ok So, we’ll start off with the one thing that I always wanted to ask, what does Apuroopa mean? And how did photography specifically happen?
Apuroopa, in Sanskrit, means utmost beauty.  Photography is an amalgamation of art and science; one that enables us to capture what the eye sees and freeze the frame in time. I had always liked the camera; much before my parents bought me my own one. I always imagined about taking pictures and the dynamics of it when I saw something picturesque.

4

They say every picture has a story behind it, isn’t it? So what was the story behind your first click, If I may ?
It was I think through the lowest point of my life that I found my passion. It was a period of time, when I was very depressed and would shut myself in my room for hours together. I used to watch the setting sun every day from my window and click a picture of it, and this turned out to be therapeutic for me. Photography kept me sane in the beginning and slowly and surely, now it’s become a part of me.

9

Many at times we look at photographers going for a particular theme or soul. Something they prefer, a genre or such. Do you have any such specificity?
Yes, I do go by a theme and I am very conceptual as a person. Every shoot becomes special for me because of the concept involved, as it lets my imagination flow in a very natural direction. I mull over a concept for days together, and when something strikes me well enough, I get into composing it at an intricate level. I guess that’s the only thing that is common in all the shoots I take up.

22

I’ve known you for a considerable amount of time now, and I’ve seen that you are very active on Instagram and Facebook? I always wondered how you have carved your own fan base on these sites with so much of competition present?
Facing competition is inevitable, but when one is driven by passion there’s a satisfaction of making an amazing picture. Making it big is all about how one’s pictures make a mark and how different one thinks. That is to say, every photo is unique and so is the person composing it. Hence everyone has their own space to own up, on these platforms. Also, social media is definitely an important tool that helps any person in getting their work reach out to a larger audience.

10

What is that one photograph that took a heavy toll on you emotionally? After all, every photograph is an expression of a photographers soul, isn’t it?
That would be shooting portraits of my own self. They really make me, on one hand, grow as a photographer and, also on the other, give me a deeper understanding of the relation between the parallel facets of photography. That of a photographer envisioning a theme and of a model expressing it.

18

That’s so true and understandably taxing, Now then, what’s your proverbial bag pack like when you go for a shoot? Any five things that you are specific about?
The five things would be – the concept that I get fixated upon , a wonderful muse that could actually make it work, location that I choose beforehand, proper lighting & lastly, the scope of drama that can be created.

7

Last we spoke, You were in Bengaluru and you were loving the street photography culture there..Now if you had to pick, say , five most scenic places in India to revisit your shoot for, what would they be ? 
Yeah, I was. I loved it there. So, there are many places which I have yet to visit in India, but if I have to choose from places I’ve already been to, then, In no specific order, they would be Vizag as it is my hometown, Goa for its warm locations, Ooty because of its dewy nature, Ladakh for its serenity, Udaipur-Jaipur fro their sheer glory.

13

What kind of equipment do you prefer to use? And for someone who comes from limited resources, what would be a great equipment composition be ? 
Equipment is not the only prerequisite to a good photograph. I use a Canon 550d & a 50mm f1.8 which again is not really hi-fi. I never felt the need to upgrade either as this combination, lets me cast my own view while I execute my work. At the end of the day, It is all about how creative one gets and how well the ideas and thoughts are executed.

2

You’ve been in the arena for quite some time now, and you’ve learnt much about how things work. Any advice that you’d like to give for the many budding photographers out there, who mightn’t have the idea of going about it?
My advice would be to get as creative as possible and try not to duplicate what one sees, or comes across on the web. Also, interaction with as many creative people as possible is something much needed as every creative mind has something new to teach. Experimenting should never be shied away from.

16

 

So that was Apuroopa Reddy, one of the most brilliant photographers that I have come across. Simplicity is her mantra and therefore the way she speaks through with her photographs is something very characteristically unique. We thank her for the interview.

When Japanese Fell in Love with Tamil Movies and Rajinikanth

0

By Chitra Chowdhury

The Tamil film industry, popularly known as Kollywood, has come a long way contributing some real good cinema to the nation. Kollywood industry produces as many films annually as Bollywood does.

If a line is drawn from the first Tamil film Keechaka Vadaham of 1916 till the I of 2015, we find that the Kollywood grew up to be a globally famous brand over the decades.

While Keechaka Vadaham was a silent movie and the first talkie happened to be Kalidas, which released on 31 October 1931. Kalidas was released only seven months after India’s first Hindi talkie film Alam Ara released which indeed depicts that the Bollywood and the Kollywood are contemporary of each other.

Tamil Films : A genre by themselves

As the Tamil films dubbed in Hindi are getting highly popular all over India, their demand curve for foreign viewers is also moving constantly upward.

bg

The Tamil films have very good markets in India, particularly in the states like Maharashtra, New Delhi, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The Tamil language films are fast getting popular in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, USA, England and Canada.

The success of Tamil films in the global markets can be fathomed from the fact that Ethiran grossed 4 million US Dollars in 2010 which proved charisma of the movie.

The popularity of Tamil films can be gauged from the fact that even the top Bollywood actresses like Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra never let go of any opportunity that comes to their doorstep.

When Japanese Fell in Love with Tamil Movies

Before we peep into the glorious tradition of the Kollywood, let us first point it out that the first major success of an Indian language movie in Japan happened to be Muthu. Dubbed into Japanese as Dancing Maharaja, it got its cult set of followers.

Image Source

Muthu moved the Japanese viewers so much that it was even dubbed into Japanese dialect in 1995. The craze was such that, Japan got an Indian snack named Garam Masala with Meena and Rajnikanth on the cover.

The next movie that caught their attention was Robot.

The tour operators in Japan who organize South Indian tour have an added element called ‘Dancing Maharaja’ tour. In this the tourists from Japan are brought to Chennai and are taken to a movie hall showing Rajnikanth’s movie. Post the movie they are taken to meet Rajnikanth / Latha Rajnikanth.

Now, that some serious way to handle the craze.

5 Times When Actors Underwent Drastic Transformations For Their Roles..!!

0

By Shubham Kumar
The rules of showbiz are sure and simple even for an actor who has attained his place of being “Larger than Life” stature or aspiring celeb-utantes who paved their way to fame. The actors must cross the line of perfection and live the character with such intensity that, what results is his fame and the love and admiration which he acquires from his fans.

In sought and passion for such acclaim, we the B-Town audience witness a film which when ends on the big screen leaves us awe-struck and full of belief and love, for how the actor has made the film a memorable journey of two hours.

So here further you would on-look a spectacle of movie stars and their movies for which they crossed the boundary of sanity, to web themselves around the character which they have to live-in in the film, in which they are performing. As going by the words of Bollywood’s King Khan Mr. SRK obsessiveness of a fan is a big responsibility for the actor keeping which into account he should accomplish his role of entertainment.

1. SRK In ‘Fan’

1Fan is an upcoming 2016 film in which SRK plays the role of his own fan that is also his doppelgänger in the film. The exquisite fact about this film, as it is portrayed by its’ teasers and interview appearances of its’ makers and actors is, the massive make-over which SRK has went-through to devote for his role of his 25 years old young fan Gaurav when he himself is 50 years old in real life. Despite being a 25 year age gap between the real and reel life character what came for the rescue of Shah Rukh at the need of the hour was the make-up technology of Prosthetic Make-Up Technique which led the wrinkles on the face of SRK to beam as if he is a 25 year old lad in real life. The transformation when witnessed is truly amazing and what further amplifies it is the dedication with which SRK plays his part. A highly awaited film directed by Manish Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra, the film’s bound to release on 15th April, 2016.

2. Amitabh Bachchan in ‘Paa’

2Paa is a 2009 released blockbuster comedy-drama starring the legend of Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan, his son Abhishek  Bachchan and Vidya Balan. The aspect of this film that despite being the real life father of Abhishek, Mr. Bachchan plays the role of his son in this film who suffers from a rare genetic condition of Progeria, which reduces the life span of the victim and makes him looks physically quite aged despite of his original age. The fancy fact behind this film was that the then 67 years old Amitabh would undergo hours of make up for shooting up for his twelve years old character of Auro, but he never gave up upon the character and what resulted was a sensation which is still fresh in our minds. The energy with which Mr. Bachchan has enacted his role stands true to the testament of him being the legend of Bollywood Cinema Industry.

3. Vikram in ‘I’

3The 2015 Tamil romantic thriller film starring Tamil Superstar Vikram and Amy Jackson was huge in-terms of visual effects and makeover contrast of Vikram along the story plot. The blockbuster movie depicts a body-builder turned supermodel Vikram who later is deformed by the evil protagonists of the film by trick and later the hero takes his revenge on the villains of the film by providing them the taste of their own medicine and rendering them disfigured themselves.

What is amazing is how; Vikram plays the three phases of his character in the film and that, with totally different variance of looks. The technique of Prosthetic Make-Up Technique which made Vikram capable to travel the path to perfection of his character in the movie, demanded hours of scheduling before the shooting used to start, and what made this film a world-wide sensation was a result of how devoted the actors were to do justice to the film.

4. Priyanka Chopra In ‘Barfi’

4The 2012 romantic-comedy drama Barfi, starring Ranbir Kapoor who plays the role of a deaf-mute character of Barfi, Priyanka Chopra as an autistic girl Jhilmil, and Ileana D’Cruz for the role of Shruti Ghosh. This romantic tale of really innocent, loving and charming people had won our hearts when it had hit the box-offices and still continues to inspire memories whenever the evergreen song of the film melts off a melody in one’s ears.

What makes the role of Priyanka Chopra daunting is the way she transformed herself in accordance with the character Jhilmil which is truly much more than what amazing ever was, as it is difficult to play the character of an autistic girl but what further intensifies the situation is the delivery of the character with a particular method which truly justifies the need of the story. So, hats’ off to you PC!

5. Rishi Kapoor in ‘Kapoor and Sons’

5The ace actor Rishi Kapoor having spend a generation in the Indian Film Industry continues to bewilder the audiences young and old alike, all accredited to his acting skills with which he leaves no stone unturned to satisfy the hunger of entertainment of his viewers. The veteran actor has underwent massive make-over which takes over five hours and worth 2 Crore Rupees, from the famous Hollywood Oscar winner Make-Up artist Greg Cannom, for his upcoming film Kapoor and Sons starring Alia Bhatt, Fawad Khan and Sidharth Malhotra and himself. Playing the role of a 90 year old Grandparent the 63 years old Rishi has left no Endeavour unrecognised to provide justice to his character.

 

And that were just a few transformations, that have over the years validated the extent to which our actors go to, in order to perfectly portray their roles.

In the furthering the thought of speaking out for one’s own self, and making a stand.

“From Wearing Torn Uniforms To Being A Dentist” An Inspirational True Story !

0

“My father met with an accident while we were growing up and became visually impaired which put our entire family in a state of poverty…it was difficult to even have one square meal a day. I was always a good student and had the good fortune of having a sympathetic headmaster at my school, who understood my situation. Everyone in school would have those shiny black shoes, but I was allowed in my tattered chappals, all because I was desperate to learn. Late at night, you would find me reading by a street light while the rest of the people in my slum slept.
Throughout my journey I’ve had many angels who have helped me. From my teachers being sympathetic, to people offering to may my fees…I always scraped through. Ofcourse, it wasn’t always easy. Being from a background where I couldn’t even afford proper meals, my uniform would be torn, my chappals would have holes in it, the other children who were from well off families made fun of me. Even so, I pushed on and chose to look at the good side of life. Once, in the 8th grade a senior of mine came up to me and said, ‘do you want a school uniform?’ and I nodded…the next day he got me a brand new uniform…and it was these incidents that i hung onto.
Over summer I would work at petrol pumps and factories to earn some extra money but when I was in the 12th standard I was 50 Rupees short of the fees (which was 150 Rupees back then). The admissions officer said I would have to lose a year and I was heartbroken. As I was walking home, I met a friend at the bus stop and as soon as I told him my situation, he removed a 50 Rupee note then and there and said ‘this never happened, you owe me nothing.’
After my 12th, I interviewed for my dentistry and got accepted in my first round because I was very strong academically. On hearing that someone from the slums has made it through a medicine entrance exam, an MLA from Kurla decided to pay my fees. After this, an NGO called EOTO sponsored my equipment for the next few years and that’s how I became a dentist.
I began working and eventually bought my own space and started my own clinic…and that’s when I thought it’s the perfect time to give back to the universe, all that it has given me. I started Charitable Dentist Organisation which charges nothing for treatment, from the under privileged. Seeing that a lot of people had oral cancer because of Gutka, I began to spread awareness about this issue to slums.
Recently, I bought a piece of land in Dhanup, where I hold free different medical camps with my doctor friends for the underprivileged and tribal people. From gynacs, to cardiologists we’ve all come together to help people who cannot afford our services. My focus was also always to help educate…education has transformed my life and I wanted that for as many children as possible. Over the years, I’ve distributed over 4000 shoes to children who can’t afford it…just so that they’re never removed because of attire.
So from the small boy who went to school in a torn uniform and chappals….I’m here today, a dentist… trying my best to give back to the world, that has given me so much.”

What Is The Right Way and What Is Not?

0

English is the most common language spoken around the globe. When we incorporate this language colloquially, it is twisted and turned in unimaginable ways making the words themselves feel embarrassed about it.

In due course of time, few of the words/phrases over powered the actual usage and got instilled in our communicating atmosphere in a wrong way.

Now, that the time has got smarter and more competitive, maybe knowing some basic rules to make conversations sound smoother is no harm. Here are those:

8

That text we generally use during breaks.

2

You see, there nothing like a good name or bad name!

3

You are not two, but one!

4

Just eliminate the ‘why’ to make it less complicated.

1-1

It is the true translation for Podhu podhune call chesav enti ra? 

5

Many are still struggling with this, we know! Spilt it : Desk-top!

6

Omit the ‘for’.

We are sure there will many more. Just share them here.

Gujarati Man At The Niagara Falls Is The Most Epic Funny Or Die Moment..!!

0
A hyper excited Gujarati man goes to Canada and falls totally in love with Niagara falls? Instead of sullenly enjoying the view,  the man decides to log the experience, by making an video that captures every minute of his adrenaline rush, making us nod in agreement that Niagara falls is indeed the best place to visit in the world!
The video starts off with him praising Niagara Falls is so mind-blowing. Then he happily confesses to have sending his wife away to shop, in order to continue enjoying the view. It would seem that this man has attained nirvana and has no plans of returning from there. He then continues to educate the world about Niagara Falls and “Ameyricka” and “Caneda”. Sigh, Wish we could already be there with him.

Procastination And How To Avoid It..!!

0

By Vaidehi Rawool

The deadline approaches you with the speed of light and with every inch that the minute hand gains, your brows knit even tighter. You make a resolute decision to open your laptop and finish the whole assignment off by pulling an all-nighter. Three hours later you find yourself on a social networking site whose window you left open the last time you used your laptop. The end result, with frayed nerves and brain cells in overdrive, you finish it seconds away from the deadline. After submitting it, you are filled with dread as to the quality, worry, guilt and a load of regret for putting it off till the last moment.

1Today the speed of time is faster than the speed of light, which is evident from the enormous amount of tasks one has on a daily basis. Being a student in these times is the most difficult task to do. The major reason for this is that you are expected to be aprofessional at multitasking. With a mountain of things to do, procrastination is almost inevitable.
Most of the times we procrastinate not because we are lazy. There are various reasons for the same and some of you who procrastinate might not even know that you do it. If you keep waiting for the best time to start something, or you keep second guessing yourself in terms of the execution of the assignment. Sometimes people very under the wrong belief of working best under pressure, let the pressure build, so instead of doing the task at hand, you complete all the other tasks possible.

So how do you avoid procrastination?

2Humans as a rule love incentives, all the marketing people out there would be nodding their heads vigorously to this sentence. When you try and provide an incentive for yourself, you tend to work better. You can begin with bargaining with yourself, say for instance only if you complete a certain task, you can go out to watch a movie with your friends.

4Talk to yourself, it helps. Make a to-do list of things you need to do so as to complete the task at hand. Leave small notes to yourself, which will motivate you and let you avoid the guilt that you feel later on.

5Try and avoid all sorts of distractions possible, emptying your bookmark bar helps a lot. Make a list of websites and apps that you may turn to while working and try and avoid each one of them.

Curb the urge to take a breather while working, try not to talk yourself into opening your social media account just for a minute when you are well aware that you might end up spending more than an hour on it.
Break the assignment into small parts. Usually it so happens that finishing something really big at one go seems very daunting. To avoid the same you can very well start small.

3Ask a friend to help you out in completing the assignment. May it be helping in the brain storming process or reminding you about your deadline, it is always better to have company while working so as to speed up the task.
Be aware of the fact that you procrastinate, sometimes if not quite often. It’s imperative to look for the reasons as to why you procrastinate and then slowly try to eliminate them.
In the end it all drizzles down to staying focus and realising the ultimate goal. Make sure you prep yourself up and keep yourself motivated till you finish the task and you will be at the end before you even know it!

10 Things That People Who Get Up Late Can Identify With..!!

0

By Ritika Chhabria
We all have had those mornings at least once in our lives, those mornings where we all look at the clock and scream…’Ah!! I’m late!!’There are some things that all we lazy people do, and we being uniquely us, never learn from it.

    1. Snoozing the alarm

giphy (19)If getting up early is our mission, the snooze button is the enemy. Every time we think of getting up early and set our alarm for a particular time, the tiny option with that snooze button tempts us to get just ‘five more minutes’ of sleep and before we know it, we’re late.

2. Trading favours

no 2Our morning starts with trading favours,” Mom, please iron my shirt!”,  “Dad! Please fill my water bottle for me!” is something you’re screaming while getting ready.

3. Warnings from parents

no 3If we are late, it’s a given that we will have to rush to make up for lost time, which means we will have to speed on our bikes or cars. This is why parents give us warnings before we leave that whatever happens, we can’t speed, “Beta, paanch minute late ho jaoge toh kuch nahi hoga, tum aaram se chalana”. Those five minutes in the mornings are really precious mom!

4. Chasing different means of transport

no. 4If by chance you have to use public transport or you miss your school/college/office bus, you will literally have to chase it through the lanes and by lanes of your area, trying to catch up with it. While this does make up for some amazing memories, ask the person dropping you to the stop how it feels like to rush around, apart from that adrenaline rush, it’s a lot of tension to carry on tiny shoulders!

5. Sibling wars

no 5If you have to share your room with your sibling and God forbid if both of you have to leave in a gap of around twenty minutes, they’ll yell at you to come out of the room or the bathroom and stop hogging all the space and time. And if you have to leave together and you’re late, the honking won’t stop, along with threats of leaving you and going ahead. Empty threats, but they irritate you nonetheless.

6. Realizing the value of time

coverYou definitely do realize the value of time, because you are literally counting the seconds and seeing the minutes ticking and you’re thinking, “Please God, please make It go slow”. And barter system is on “Please Bhagwaan! Aaj bacha do, Kal se pucca main time pe ready rahungi/rahunga!”

7. Curse your bad luck

no.7Why do you need to curse it? That’s because you find that all the signals you have to cross on the way are going to be red. And they will make you stop at every sign and will make you even late and then you start cursing your fate.

8. Running

no 8Running, or rather a lot of running is involved when you’re late. Running around your house, down the corridors, up the stairs, you’re just running everywhere to be on time. And if you’re a klutz like me, slipping down and falling will also be a regular thing. Nevertheless, it does make up for some exercise, doesn’t it?

9. Looking at the clock

no.9With each passing second you look at the clock and try to calculate if you’re going to be on time. Calculating how many minutes are left to catch up with the bus, calculating how much time is left for the class to start, how much time of travelling is gonna cost you, and constantly praying to be on time.

10. Making up excuses

no 10When your teacher or boss says you’re late, your mind instantly goes into the thinking mode. You’re trying to cook up some excuse, which will convince her and sound valid at the same time, so he/she will leave you. One thing I must mention, in those moments we become great storytellers!

11. Deciding to wake up early the next day

no 11Whatever happens on that day, the one thing that you will always think of is “I will most definitely get up early tomorrow. I will not let this repeat tomorrow”. But more times yes than no, we do end up getting late even the next day. But I say, let the hope sustain. I’m sure we’ll be up on time tomorrow.

There is one thing that goes through my mind when I’m late, songs. I keep singing songs like ‘Duniya Ka Naara’ from Taare Zameen Par or ‘Baar Baar Ha’ from Lagaan. But, there will come a day, I’m sure, that we will most definitely be on time. And it is that day that we would enter college/office with a wide smile on our faces and that look of pride for ourselves. Of course our friends will forever tease us for that, but that’s okay, we’ll manage I’m sure.

This Open Letter To Shahid Kapoor Is Just.. Awwwww..!!!

0

Hello,

This Is Akshata and this is a letter to my biggest crush, Shahid Kapoor.

I was just thirteen when I first saw him. He was smart, cute, good-looking, a great dancer, and perhaps everything that a not so popular teenage girl who went to a girls school, could dream of. Secretly I began to build all my fantasies around him and in my perfect world he belonged to me, only me.

Oh! I sound so stupid when I think of all the crazy things that I did back then. I made a scrapbook, which had all his pictures and newspaper articles, and I remember tearing it apart when I heard that he was dating Kareena Kapoor. I even tied a wish thread in Haaji Ali, Mumbai, asking God to make him my boy friend. I was so dumb, I still am, but the only difference is that I have stopped caring now.

This went on for years, none of the guys who came in my life were strong enough to defeat him cause he was the ruler of my dreams. It’s strange how someone who doesn’t even know about your existence in this world can become one of  the most important galaxies of your universe.

Some time back he got married, and honestly, a tear dropped from my eye. I was devastated and yes I repeat, I know I am dumb. I unfollowed him on Facebook and Twitter. I deleted his pictures from my phone. In short, I did all the stupid things that people normally do after a break up, and in spite of all of this, I am forced to think of him daily, thanks to my dear friends who are sadistic enough to keep me updated with his marriage gossip.

It took me a little while to realize that I was not upset about him being married, I was upset because I lost the face of my fantasy.

I never even knew him to miss him or to love him. He was just a face and his character was my imagination. I gave him all the qualities that I always wanted in my man. He was my refuge from the real world, someone I could count on when I was hurt or in pain. Someone I could boast about, show off to people, and who would be my source of revenge against those who did not consider me worthy enough. I am not upset because I lost him, how can I lose someone who was never mine? I am upset because I lost all the things that I dreamed of having, I am upset because now I cannot find anyone to fit in that picture that always belonged to him.

He will always be special and flawless to me, as an integral part of my life. To be very honest, I think I am glad that I never really knew him because in a way that is what made my fantasies so perfect. I do not want to know him because a part of me knows that he is just a regular man and I do not want that bubble to burst which i so carefully crafted.

Thanks for making my dreams so amazing for so many years.

Happy Birthday Mira’s Love 🙂
P.S. You chose the right girl 🙂

Smiriti Irani And Her Saga : The Blame Is Now On KCR For The Negligence

0

By Shahamat Hussain

It was a bold action taken by Smiriti Irani to talk fiercely on the much debated issue of Rohith Vemula and the students of Jawahar Lal Nehru University. She spoke her thoughts and temperament and defended herself in the Loksabha. She was also seen choking in few moments while she got emotional addressing Rohith Vemula and allegations on her. She vents her anger and took all the opportunity to criticise Rahul Gandhi, Congress and allies. The congress members in the Lok Sabha were short numbered and this weighed the BJP heavier.

She challenged the parliamentarian in the Lok Sabha to ask for her caste and criticised the opposition for maligning her in Rohith Vemula’s prosecution. She blamed the opposition and other political parties contrasting Rohith’s death as a Dalit issue. She shook all the allegations off her shoulders stating that she has always been redressing the grievances of all the people irrespective of which Party they belong to. She was seensarcastic, stern on her stand and named a few of members on how she had helped them.

Smiriti Irani was courageous enough to talk on the issue yet she tried all the means to blame KCR, the Chief Minister of Telangana. She alleged quoting him that she called KCR in the morning the day Rohith suicide to handle the law and order in the state but her call was not properly responded. She was told from the office that KCR is busy. She added saying that she is still awaiting his call.

On being alleged for the letters exchanged by Bandaru Dattareya, Smiriti Irani said that she did her job and will not apologise for it. The communications from MP’s should be handled promptly and rather she blamed the opposition parties for using Rohith Vemula as a political issue.

While in jail, he was categorised as a ‘semi-skilled worker’ (with a daily earning of Rs. 50), through which he earned a total sum of Rs. 38,000 over the five-year prison term. But, since the fact remains that most of the money was expensed towards day to day usage items, he will be walking home a much smaller amount, Rs. 450 to be precise, on the ending of term.

While Sanjay Dutt will be received by his wife Maanyata, sister Priya Dutt, and brother-in-law Owen Roncon. Reports state that Sanjay Dutt will be flying to Mumbai by a chartered flight after his release from Yerwada jail today, to avoid media glare and traffic jams on Mumbai Pune expressway.

Acid Attack Survivor Becomes The Face Of Courage

By Sneha Priya
Acid attacks are the most grotesque forms of violence ever executed by mankind. The cruelty of such an act is unfathomable and the result of which is blasphemously tragic. It is in these circumstances that Laxmi, aged 15, was attacked by acid for refusing to marry a man 17 years elder to her. The only fault of hers lay in the fact that she voiced her opinion with a rightful courage and grit. Now at 26, Laxmi has become an advocate for women affected by acid attacks, and come later this year will model for ‘Face of Courage’ campaign under an Indian Clothing Label of VivaNDiva.

“This opportunity to represent an apparel brand was a platform for me to set an example for women like me to be confident and have courage despite their physical appearances”, Laxmi told the BBC.

2

“This was also a platform for me to send a clear message to criminals that women will not lose courage even after they are attacked with acid to destroy their physical beauty.” She spoke out voicing the thoughts of a nation.

8

” People victimise acid attack survivors, but I think we need to come out of this mindset. I began showing my face gradually. Then other survivors saw that if I could do it, why couldn’t they?” explains Laxmi, who is now a mother to eight year old daughter, Pih, with her partner, Alok Dixit ( A Social Activist )

7” This opportunity to represent an apparel brand was a platform for me to set an example, for women like me to be confident and have courage despite their physical appearances ” she continuous to strive for social change and upliftment.

” This was also a platform for me to send a clear message to criminals that women will not lose courage even after they are attacked with acid, to destroy their beauty ” she said owing strength to her insurmountable will and unshakable courage.

6As she propagates the value of humanity through a country filled with uncontrollable chaos, it is high time we, as a society held up a mirror and looked at what we have turned into. Hoping for a change and actually doing something about, are two very different things. The following is the video of Laxmi’s stand for societal change :

We at Wirally, wish her our best regards for her future endevors and hope that this initiative initiates a change for betterment within our society.

Knowledge Bite: What is the Significance of a ‘Gopuram’ ?

0

By Mayur Kanaiya – An Architect

What is a Gopura?

A Gopura is generally constructed with a massive stone base and a superstructure of brick and pilaster. It is rectangular in plan and topped by a barrel-vault roof crowned with a row of finials.

When viewed from top, the Gopura too resembles a Mandala; With sculptures and carvings of Yalis and mythical animals located in the outer enclosure. Humans and divine beings are in the inner enclosures. The peak of the Gopura, the Kalasha, is at the centre of the Mandala

These sculptures follow a variety of themes derived from the Hindu mythology, particularly those associated with the presiding deity of the temple where the gopuram is located.

Significance of ‘Gopuram’ 

Symbolically, the Gopura or the entrance to the temple represent he feet of the deity. A devotes bows at the feet of the Lord at the entrance as he steps into the temple and proceeds towards the sanctum, leaving behind the world of contradictions.

In concept, the crest of the Gopuram has the same significance of representing the central Brahmasthan which is the energy field of any building. This energy field in three dimension is taken to the top level of the gopuram and this confers spiritual benefits to the visitors of the temple.

In the Sri Rangam temple the seven concentric prakara walls are said to represent the seven layers of matter-earth, water, fire, air, either, mind and intelligence-that envelop the consciousness of the living entities in the material world. The Gopuras are symbolic of being liberated from the bondage of matter as one enters the temple and proceeds toward the central shrine

The Gopura also emphasizes the importance of the temple within the city.

Gopurams came in rather late during the mid-12th century in evolution of Dravidian or South Indian Temple Architecture and probably due to security reasons.

With the increasing threat from invading armies, the temple cities found it expedient to erect a series of protective walls to safeguard and defend their temples, palaces and cities. The Gopuras constructed on the gateways leading from one enclosure to the next, initially, served as watch towers for defense.

Among the finest examples are the the Gopuram at Hampi, which is also famous for the inverted shadow inside the temple.Karnataka_Hampi_IMG_0730Gopura of the great Shiva temple at Chidambaram

Chidambaram

The Gopurams of Meenakshi temple at Madurai800px-An_aerial_view_of_Madurai_city_from_atop_of_Meenakshi_Amman_temple Meenakshi temple has twelve impressive Gopuras over the three tier Prakara walls. The outer four towers are nine -storied with heights ranging from 161 feet to 170 feet.

Gopuras appear to have influenced revision in the temple design and layout. The spaces around the shrine became hierarchical; the further the space was from the main shrine, the lesser was its eminence. The outermost ring had buildings of a more utilitarian or a secular nature – shops, dormitories, sheds, workshops etc., thus transforming the temple from a purely place of worship to the hub of a vibrant living city.

A particularly interesting example of this is the Sri Ranganatha temple at Sri Rangam, which has seven enclosure walls and as many as twenty-one Gopuras, the seventh, the outer most enclosure encloses an area of about six hundred acres.

‘Jesus Christ was a Tamil Hindu’, is a statement of prominence in the controversial book penned by the brother of Hindutva ideologue V. D. Savarkar,  being re-launched 70 years after it was first published. The name of the book being very clearly named ‘Christ Parichay’

The book, authored by Ganesh Savarkar, the elder brother of V.D. Svarkar, will be re-launched on February 26, the death anniversary of the Hindutva icon, president of the Swatantryaveer Savarkar National Memorial Ranjit Savarkar said.

The book, first published in 1946, also claims that Christianity was initially a Hindu cult and that Jesus died in Kashmir.

It claims that the followers of a certain Essene cult rescued the crucified Christ and revived him with medicinal plants and herbs from the Himalayas. It further goes on to say that Christ attained ‘Samadhi’ in Kashmir.

The book goes on to academically state that Jesus was a “Vishwakarma Brahmin” by birth and Christianity was a just a sect of Hinduism. The book claims that the present day Palestinian and Arab territories were Hindu land and that Christ travelled to India where he learnt yoga. The book says Christ’s real name was Keshao Krishna, Tamil was his mother tongue, and his complexion was dark.

Asked about the claims in the book, senior priest and director of the Bombay Archdiocesan Heritage Museum, Father Warner D’Souza, said such books cannot shake the faith of Christians.

By Ritika Chhabria
Bollywood has its inspirations from many sources, whether it’s books, plays, documentaries or other regional movies. Here is a list of 13 lesser known Bollywood movies inspired from literature.

Tere mere sapne (1971)

1This film directed by Vijay Anand is based on the novel ‘The Citadel’ by A J Cronin. The film starring Dev Anand and Mumtaz in the lead roles was remade in 1972, as Bengali film Jiban Saikate with Soumitra Chatterjee and Aparna Sen and in 1982, it was remade into the Telugu film Madhura Swapnam.

Angoor (1982)

3Based on Shakespeare’s ‘A comedy of errors’, this is a story of identical twins (2 pairs) and mistaken identities. Sanjeev kumar and Deven Verma play dual roles in the film .Sanjeev kumar plays the role of the two Ashoks and Deven Verma plays the role of Bahadur, the adopted set of twins. With two Ashoks and two Bahadurs a Comedy of Errors ensues, literally.

Sarkar (2005)

4Who can ever forget Amitabh Bachan and his portrayal of Subhas Nagre as the ‘Godfather’. Just as in the book by Mario Puzo, the plot revolves around ego and betrayals and mistrust and misconceptions. When Subhash Nagre’s authority is diminishing, his son Shankar comes to the rescue to face his father’s enemies. This movie also had a sequel Sarkar Raj that came out in the year 2008 which failed to capture as much attention as the prequel.

Earth (1998)

5This movie, based on the novel ‘Cracking India’ by Bapsi Sidhwa, is part two of director Deepa Mehta’s trilogy on Elements. It’s 1947 and the borderlines between India and Pakistan are being drawn. A young girl(Shabana Azmi) narrates the story of her childhood bearing witness to tragedy as her Hindu ayah(Nandita Das) is caught between the love of two Muslim men(Aamir Khan and Rahul Khanna) and the rising tide of political and religious violence. This movie talks about how the group of friends that were always together get separated because of the partition and then tragedy ensues.

Water(2005)

6The final part of Deepa Mehta’s trilogy is based on Bapsi Sidhwa’s novel ‘Water:A Novel’. Water is a dark introspect into the tales of rural Indian widows in the 1940s and covers controversial subjects such as misogyny and ostracism. The film is set in the year 1938,Chuiya widowed at the age of seven, is forced into prostitution to get some income for the ashram.

This Video About Parents Separation Will Leave You Teary Eyed..!!

0

Separation always appeals to us in a way that nothing else does. For creative artists even more so. That is precisely what happened with this video. More specifically, if your parents got divorced when you were a child (and these days, that describes many of us), this song might make you a little teary-eyed.

In a new music video called “When You Love Someone,” singer-songwriter James TW explores just how heartbreaking it can be to find out that your parents are splitting up. The 18-year-old British crooner wrote the song after learning that the parents of a young drumming student he taught were getting divorced.  The music video perfectly implies the experience of watching your parents divorce, from the pre-split fights they try to shield you from, to eventually realizing you’ll always be family, regardless of their divorce.

7 Directors Who Debuted From Dil Raju’s Camp

0

Dil Raju is a producer not just by chance, he had done the needed homework before he ventured into making cinema. Without having a background, the former film distributor collaborated with his cousin brothers Sirish & Laxman to start Sri Venkateshwara Creations. A branded production house now, it was an empire erupted by Dil Raju himself.

Raju had his camp of directors whose potentiality he knew very well. With many new directors coming into light over the last decade from his camp, Raju emerged as a successful producer with the audience as well as the distributors.

His first movie, Dil was a safe commercial. Post that Raju experimented every time with a new director and gave ample opportunities to many.

Sukumar

3

A director with brains as we refer to him now was first picked by Dil Raju for Arya. Standing strong as one of the best directors in the present times, Sukumar has established himself properly.

Boyapati Sreenu

2

Touted as a director known for his commercial aspects, Boyapati kick started his career with Badhra. After that he has been working rigorously with all the biggies.

Vamsi Paidipally

4

Though his debut was not a big one, his later movies under the same banner, Brindavanam and Yevadu made him a successful director. With Oopiri coming up next, he looks pretty stable.

Bommarillu Bhaskar

7

Being one the able directors who looks technically sound and neat, debuted with Bommarillu and gained a momentum with Parugu. Post that he has not seen a major hit in his career so far. His latest Bangalore Naatkal also seems to be an average grosser.

Srikanth Addala

1

Debuted with Kotha Bangaru Lokam and he was yet another talent dug out by Dil Raju. With SVSC being a big multi-starrer, he did earn good marks with the family audiences. Now Brahmotsavam is waiting and we are pretty excited about it.

Venu Sriram

6

Debuted with Oh My Friend, Venu Sriram couldn’t perform well on a larger front. Though the movie carried some great elements, it didn’t do well. A movie with Ravi Teja was under talks, but no trace about it.

Vasu Varma

5

Vasu debuted with Josh. Known as a backbone of the production house, Vasu has been with the production house since the Dil. Providing his support to every director who debuted from Dil Raju’s camp, Vasu is still awaiting his major break.

2You have to learn to say no to supplements. It’s the name that suggest what is a supplement. It may give you fast results but surely it will have some side effects. Taking a supplement will never be compared to the workout you have yourself.

3) Maintain your Eating habits

3Eating habits will directly affect you physique. The precise amount of minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates and fats will help you to grow stronger. Skipping meals will not help you to gain strength. Eating a limited food with all the nutrients present in your daily diet will increase more strength. You need to make sure that you don’t eat dinner after 9 pm because it increases the weight.

4. Play an Outdoor Game

4Playing a game like basketball, badminton, football or choose the game you love to play which will help you to increase the stamina in your body. Before playing any  game, warming up is necessary in order to avoid cramps. Plan a particular time for it and all you need is an action over the game.

5. Try to lift Heavy Weights

5Anything that uses your body’s weight to move can help build strong bones and alternate lifting heavy weights with a resistant workout, using gym weights or hand and ankle weights. To maintain strong bones, you need to do short bursts of exercise, which gets progressively harder with changes in direction. But before lifting heavy weights, you need to try on with small weights and then progressively you can try for heavy weights. You can also consult your trainer for further instructions.

6. Push ups.

6Push ups are one form exercise. It uses hand muscles to pull the whole body which directly improves stamina in your body. Set up a routine and count the number of push ups.

Following the above tips, surely help you to increase your strength. Make it your new year;s resolution and work upon it. So, what are you waiting for? Go, buckle up your belt and your shoe laces and get ready to WORKOUT!

RGV Warns Openly Ahead Of His Arrival In Vijayawada! You Better Don’t Mess With Him!!

0

RGV has announced his last movie in Telugu will be Vangaveeti, a movie based on rowdism that existed in Vijayawada during the 1980s. It involves some big guns from the Vijayawada constituency. From Vangaveeti Ranga, Devineni Nehru to NT Rama Rao, all have a major role in this movie. RGV known for his bold and gutsy statements attracted curiosity this time with his ‘warning’ on twitter.

It was usual night when Ramu gets active on twitter like every time. But, this time he was spitting fire (or maybe not). He threw an open challenge to the ‘rowdies’ who warned him against making a movie on Vangaveeti.

Now, we don’t know whether those warnings he received were that serious or not, (you never know!) but, it was interesting reading his tweets where he was boasting about his stamina as rowdy from the same place. Ramu might have diluted his charm in making movies, but he has every time got better in creating controversies. Be it good or bad, you hate him or not. He doesn’t give a flying fu*k!

Let’s watch what more will happen in the process of making his beloved last movie, Vangaveeti. This might become someone else’s story!! 😉

Here are those tweets to see for yourself. He also gave away his details provoking them for a face-off!

Damn!! He even gave his details!!

…And continued the warning!

X-Ray Photo-shoot Of These Tattoos Is Just Creative Bliss..!

0

John Rennhack’s , an abstract and innovative New York photographer, took up “Digital X Ray” tattoo photo project and produced something extraneously wonderful. The methodology in X-Ray photography is quite complex, as he uses an iPad to capture scaled pictures of his models’ exposed tattoos, then has them align the images with the clothed place on their bodies where the tattoos would be, thus creating an X-Ray like effect.

The trick is extremely difficult to achieve, which makes Rennback’s creativity, and the models’ execution even more impressive.

10 Reasons Why We Love ‘Ka’reena Kapoor

0
kareena kapoor

By Ankita Aggarwal

Kareena Kapoor is one of the actresses in Bollywood who is an example of beauty with brains. She has amazing acting skills and has proved it throughout her career. She has managed to rule everyone’s heart alike over her span so far. She taught us how to love ourselves, no matter what happens to us.

Here I would like to take you through 10 factors that make her special.

1. She manages to look gorgeous in every attire.

14

From acting to fashion, she has been a queen in her entire career. She knows what to wear and how to flaunt her body.

2. The trend starts with her

2

The chubby little girl turned to size zero. In her movie Tashan, she really worked hard to maintain her diet and transformed herself differently. After that, many girls were swooning over to get that size zero.

3. Any Expression – She is spot on!

3

Those cute expressions can make any man fall for her

4. The way she portrayed the Bubbly ‘geet’ – a character that changed her fortune.

4

Can we even afford to imagine that instead of Kareena Kapoor some other actress playing the role of ‘Geet’ in Jab We Met? No, we cannot. She makes us fall in love with her again and again.

5. She looks stunning even without make-up

5

She knows how to rock your style without even a tinge of make-up because she is naturally beautiful that even makeup tends to fail. She is proud to show off her face without makeup.

6. Her friendly nature in B-town

15

She is more than just a pretty face and has proved that time and again. She is a great daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, stepmother and wife.

7. Her care for Saif!!

11

No matter how many relations she was in, but with all her heart she loves and respects her husband, Saif Ali Khan. She is really proud to show how lucky she is and never feels shy to show it. Not only she loves her husband but also she embraces Saif’s children too.

8. Her everlasting smile

9

Her smile is worth to die for. She has the signature lips and cheek bones which every girl craves for.

9. And also her ‘kohl’ eyes needs a separate mention.

6

Eyes speaks more than words. The beautiful diva knows how to speak with her eyes. We can see the confidence in her eyes and that kohl is just an extra add-on.

10. Transparent – Nobody can be like Kareena Kapoor Khan

13

She is one the few actresses who speaks her heart out in public. She accepts her mistakes and never holds grudges for anyone.

This Girl Gives An Epic Burn To The US Media For “Branding India”

0
Barkha Dutt's viral video

Gender equality and women safety? For the uninformed, they are world wide problems and not just India specific, as the world media portrays them to be. The global media seems to have a certain fantastical fixation with portraying our country as the land of rapists, a land that is utterly poor and impoverished. Giving a fitting reply to America for all the stereotyping and constantly trying to defame India, this girl from Clipko has a brilliant point to make. She does it, deliver them a fitting slap in the face and we couldn’t be any prouder.

Hyderabad’s KissaGo: Keeping Theatre Alive!

0
KissaGo

By Shahamat Hussain

The practice of theatre is in today’s world often seen as a fast perishing art form. While not many are seen attending theatre even less seem to take interest in performing it. Breaking this stereotypical view of theatre, a dynamic team from Hyderabad, KissaGo, is breathing new life into the art.

10

This group of nine members comes from different regions across the country and even contrasting job profiles but are bound by their love form performing theatre. Nidhi Acharaya who is part of the group and work under Teach for India says “I teach small children and by doing theatre makes me realise that childhood still resides in me”.  Afaque Mohammed who hails from Bhopal and is working here for Tata Consultany Services says “every day when I leave to office, I adapt a character. Theatre helps me to do that, I Live one hour of my life complete when I am on stage”. They do not consider themselves as a group but a family. They practice and support each other even when they are not performing.

Sreehari Ajith who passed out from National School of Drama and is an active part of KissaGo says “I want to keep brushing myself until I achieve the dreams which I have. I quit Mumbai because I did not wanted to take pride in calling myself as a struggler”. He works for Deloitte to support himself financially and does theatre to pursue his vision. Their latest drama which was staged at Lamakaan has got a huge response from the audience, the play was directed by Jay Jha who is another member of the group. Avadhesh Devnarayan who has formed this group believes in serving the audience with the best plays and experience. Being asked about how they are welcomed by the other theatre group in the city Shekhar explains “Hyderabad is a small ghetto of theatre group and we are getting warm welcome from them”.

This group consists of different people from different cultures and of varying opinions but working for the same cause. “Theatre has helped me overcome depression and take life positively” says Hindola Banerjee.  This group is taking great efforts in changing the theatre scene in Hyderabad. They want more young people to spend time on watching theatre and that’s how they believe that the art of theatre can be retained.  Some of the famous theatre plays performed by them are Skharam Binder, Dil to Phisla hai ji and Path Katha.

Who Unfriended You? There’s An App for it!

0
unfriend in facebook

We’ve all been there – our Facebook friends list has suddenly dropped by one and, damn it, we want answers as to why someone has had the audacity to delete us, or Unfriend us, from their social media lives. After all, we’re hilarious!

For years, Mark Zuckerberg and his team have refused to let us know who’s unfriended us on Facebook, probably so we don’t clog up people’s News Feed with an awful rant about why we thought we had something special with Dave in Cheshire who we met at a party that one time, typing furiously as we down a bottle of wine and cry.

But all that’s about to change, as a new app has been released which is designed to give you the bad news. A new mobile app has been launched to allow people know who “unfriended” them on the popular social networking website Facebook since their last login, a media report said.The app – entitled Who Deleted Me – takes stock of a user’s current friends list, but cannot provide backdated information.
10

The app tells users how many and which friends are missing or deactivated since their last Facebook login.

When you first login, the app takes stock of your current friends list and every time you return it compares the latest version to the saved one. It then informs you who your missing friends are and whether they have deactivated their account, or simply deleted you.It also enables you to keep track of who you have deleted.

11

Sadly The App is not yet available in India. Don’t worry though, You can still have access to install FireFox or Chrome Extension for it.

Try It Here Then : Who Deleted Me

Trump May Not Trump….10 Reasons Why..!!

0
Donald Trump

Vaidehi Rawool

The United States of America is soon to go in for the election of its 44th American President. While the two major parties: The Republicans and The Democrats, along with a handful of independent as well as minor party candidates are all set to battle it out during the elections, the whole world has gotten its eyes on Who the next First Man of the U.S of A will be.

Although all of the presidential candidates come across as distinguished and reputable in their own regard, there is one candidate who never fails to catch eyeballs with his bold statements. The social media world and the internet has been taken over by his forthright jabs at various pressing issues of the current times. He is none other than, Donald Trump. The man who very perfectly fits the age old adage, “You can love him, you can hate him but; you just cannot ignore him.” Due to the media and the internet today, his personality has come to be this towering mammoth of today, while he can be called the most popular candidate albeit most of all for the wrong reasons, he also has some major pitfalls to his credit.

Let’s look at some of the reasons as to why did Donald Trump backfire as a person as well as through his twitter account (@realDonalTrump and the subsequent poll).

  1. Highly ill-timed polls

1

In spite of using twitter to express his opinions so very meticulously, Trump overlooked a very important technicality which caused him to become the laughing stock of the day. He posted a poll to ask his followers their opinion of whether he should go in for or back out of the final Republican presidential debate. As the polls on twitter go, he received the result a stating that he shouldn’t back out 24 hours after him announcing he would be backing out.

2. His live #AskTrump Q&A session.

2

Donald Trump went in for a live Q&A session on twitter with the hashtag #AskTrump considering that it would be an enthralling session of questions troubling the American mind. The session turned out to be anything but that with most of the twitter users amusing themselves to the fullest.

3. The stands (against minorities) that he takes.

3More often than not, this Republican Candidate has made very prejudiced and almost insulting statements. These sometimes are towards a race or towards a gender and have highly led to him receiving a lot of flak for him.

4. The fact that Twitter will no longer be swung by his ‘Make America Great Again’ Slogans

4Twitterati have time and again taken pleasure in trolling him as well as seeing through his political schemes. Very rarely has someone’s social media account received some major ire like this.

5. Powerful statements.

5Trump’s speeches have been replete with the statements like ‘Make America Great’, ‘Bring the glory back’ and so on. This has been the topic of even more jabs and jokes on twitter.

6. Factual ignorance

6Trump has time and again proved to get his facts wrong and a lot of those so called facts that he mentions in his speech are always found to be false.

7. Media presence

7Trump has done everything from wining and dining the media head honchos to organizing events and getting involved in online scuffles with the big daddies to remain in the limelight. This limelight then has a lot of chances of going sour.

8. No apologies

8Be it his erratic speeches or his blatant disregard and ignorance of the political process or his cornering of the minorities. Never have we ever heard one single apology from him.

9. Political Ignorance and inconsistency

9While he has never really spoken about any actual policies, he’s also been entirely ignorant of his country’s political stance on numerous issues. In addition to the fact he is never really consistent in either his speeches or his off-hand comments.

And Ofcourse there are a hundred other counts on which he might not make it to the top. Well, even if he does, that guy is just a great fodder for entertainment.

Browser Shortcuts Which Save Time Like Never Before!!

9 Stereotypes About Sindhis Which We Are Way Way Off!!

0

By Ritika Chhabria

Hi guys! Today we’ll talk about some stereotypes that Sindhis have to face and we Sindhis know what runs through our minds at that time, don’t we?

Bollywood has really shaped these stereotypes and made Sindhis these people who always wear gold accessories and go around singing ‘Laal meri par rakhiyo’ or eat Kadhi and papad everyday…but no! You’re wrong!

Yes some of our ancestors are from Pakistan, but no we are not Pakistanis!

gif 1We all hear great stories from our grandparents of how they’ve come to India in boats or trains and we feel proud of our heritage, but, we are Indian! We are as much of an Indian as you are!

All of us don’t stay in Sindhi colony.

gif 2

Just because we are Sindhi, doesn’t mean we all stay there…we are also spread in various parts of the city as people from any other culture are.

All Sindhis are not Kanjoos you know.

giphy

We are people who love to spend money, yes we don’t like to spend much of it unnecessarily (who does!), but we actually do spend well.

We are Sindhis and we are related to Punjabis in the same way that an Odiya is related to a Gujrati!

gif 4

When someone asks you about you’re religion and you say ‘I’m a Sindhi’ and they say ‘Oh! So you’re like a Punjabi’ and you’re thinking ‘Dude! I just told you I’m a SINDHI’
(P.S. rolling your eyes at them doesn’t work).

Dude! Even we can be vegetarian!!

giphy (1)

It’s not like a compulsion thing you know! Even we can be vegetarian…it’s not like being a Sindhi is equivalent to getting a license to eating chicken and stuff!

No, we’re not all blingy!

giphy (2)

Contrary to what Bollywood movies show, we are actually great dressers and we don’t roam around wearing tons of gold necklaces.

Yes we love Sindhi Kadhi but that’s not all we eat!

giphy (3)

We Sindhis are great foodies and we absolutely don’t survive on Kadhi all day. Also we don’t really eat papad like every single day…

We also study and earn you know, not all of us join daddy’s business.

giphy (4)

We Sindhis work hard and study and just like everyone else get our degrees. Education is important for us… We do study and become independent

Yes we drink tea but it’s not like all of us do!

giphy (5)

No! We don’t love love tea… Maybe our parents run on it but we kids don’t love tea okay…Hey! For all you know we could be great coffee-lovers!

So now you know what we are and what we can do. So zip it already and do away with the Stereotypes.

Perfect Selfie? – We Got You Covered With These Simple Tricks!

0

Selfie (v) : an image of oneself taken by oneself using a digital camera especially for posting on social networks. That’s the Webster’s dictionary definition of the verb that has go on to define a generation. A simple self taken photograph which has revolutionised the way mobile phones and gadgets are made, has become an art in itself. So, we at wirally thought that we should probably some of the best tricks to take the selfie ( and no they don’t include Selfie stick ). So read on to know more.

pic 1

Capture a good angle.

Instead of taking the picture head-on, experiment with different angles to show off your features. If you turn your head a few degrees to the right or left, your features will appear less flat. Holding the camera slightly higher than your head so that it’s pointing down on you will make your eyes look bigger and help you avoid “pig nose.” Here are a few other ideas for finding a good angle:
Know your “good side” and take the photo from that side of your face. It’s the side of your face that looks the most balanced and symmetrical.
Angling the camera slightly above yourself and taking a snapshot of your face and chest will highlight your cleavage. Since this position is fairly unnatural, odds are, you already know what the camera will focus on when you take a selfie like this.

pic 2

Show off something new.

If you decide to take a selfie to show off a new haircut or a new pair of earrings, make sure that you frame the photo in a way that highlights the new feature that has you so excited.

pic 3

Be sure to smile or do something cheerful.

A sad face or a frown will not help. A selfie showing off your new hairstyle, for example, should show your hair from the most flattering angle. On a similar note, a selfie showing off a mustache should show the mustache straight-on, and the same goes for a selfie showing off a new pair of glasses.
You could also take a selfie holding a new item you just bought, or even a food item you’re about to eat.

pic 4

Focus on one feature.

If you’re planning on doing a close-up of your face, consider glamming up one feature while downplaying the others. This works especially well if there is one feature that you are especially pleased with. For instance, if you love your eyes, play them up with mascara and complementary eye shadow while keeping your complexion and lips fairly natural. Likewise, if your smile is your most charming feature, keep your cheeks and eyes looking natural while donning a stunningly beautiful lipstick.

Have an interesting expression.

You can’t go wrong with smiling! Maybe smiling for the camera—or camera phone, as the case might be—makes you feel a little silly, but taking a random photo of yourself with your phone is a silly enough action in itself. If you’re on the serious side, a cool, collected expression could also go over well. You can play around with different smiles, of course. A closed-mouth coy smile can be just as appropriate and just as flattering as a wide, laughing grin. No matter what, a smile is one of the most appreciated and charming expressions you can wear. It can be hard to make sure your expression looks authentic. One way to make it look more real is to try to capture yourself when you’re feeling an emotion. Try taking a selfie while you’re watching a movie that’s making you genuinely laugh, or right after you find out some shocking news.

Take a full-length photo.

If you want to show off a great new outfit or a fabulous figure after a diet, you will need to stand in front of a full-length mirror to capture your body from head to toe. In this instance, your face is no longer the focus of the photo. Take full body shots in a clutter-free space. The photo should focus completely on your figure, not on random objects in the background. You can appear more slender by slightly cocking your hip to the same side you are holding your camera in. Your opposite shoulder should come forward a bit, and your free arm should either dangle to your side or your free hand can rest on your hip. The chest should lean forward naturally, and the legs should be crossed at the ankle.

Try a natural look.

Do not add too many filters at a time. You can take a picture of yourself as the outside world always sees you, but taking a snapshot of yourself with bedhead or minimal makeup can give the illusion that you’re giving your social media followers a glimpse at the “real you.” This can be both interesting and sexy. If your just-out-of-bed look is more of a nightmare than a dream, however, you can straighten up a little. Even light makeup can give the impression that you are showing your “natural” face, especially if you tend to wear much more makeup than what you put on for your selfie.

pic 8

Snap a photo of your shoes.

If you decide to take a selfie of your feet after you slip on a great new pair of shoes, angle the camera so that your leg appears slender as it leads up to your foot. Aim the camera straight down. The edge of the frame should land somewhere on your thighs, fairly close to your hips. This angle makes your legs look as long as possible.

pic 9

Know which poses are considered passé.

There are certain Selfie poses that became wildly popular and are now well past their prime. You can still contribute your own examples to the mix, but do it with a little self-awareness so people know you’re in on the joke. Notable choices include the infamous “duck face,” muscle flexing, pretending to be asleep, or pretending to be caught off guard by someone else. The duck face is a combination of puckered lips and wide eyes, originally made famous by Snookie and friends. Do it at your own risk! Taking a selfie and pretending that someone else took it is hard to pull off. There will be some clue in your posture or actions that will give you away and open you up to criticism. If you do it with a slight smile or a wink, people will realize it’s an intentional setup.

pic 10

Pay attention to good lighting.

Having a solid light source is an essential part of taking any kind of photograph, and selfies are no different. If you try to take a selfie in a dimly-lit room or one with harsh fluorescent lighting, it won’t turn out the way you want it to. Natural light is the most flattering kind, so try to take your selfie near a window or outdoors. Keep these factors in mind when you shoot. Keep the sun or other light source in front of you, a bit above eye level, for the most flattering shot. The light will brighten and soften your features, rather than casting harsh shadows across your face.

pic 11

Use your phone’s back camera.

Many cell phones have two cameras: one in the back, and one in the front. Instead of using the camera in the front to take selfies, use the one in the back. The back camera takes higher-resolution pictures than the front camera, which will end up taking a blurrier selfie. You’ll have to turn the phone around, and you won’t be able to see your face as you take the picture, but it’s worth the trouble to use the back camera.

pic 12

Don’t use a mirror unless there’s no other way to get the shot you want.

The picture will appear in reverse, your camera will be visible, and you’re likely to end up with a strange glare. Plus, your selfie could appear distorted, since mirror glass doesn’t always reflect back a perfectly accurate image. Stretch out your arm, use your wrist to point the camera toward your face, and snap away.

pic 13

Consider the background of your picture.

The best selfies have more than just a face. There’s something interesting to look at in the background, too. Whether you take your selfie inside or outdoors, check around you first to see what’s going on in the background. Position yourself so that you’re in front of the background you want people to see.

pic 14

Watch out for photo-bombers.

The standard culprits include younger siblings, crying children, and dogs taking a bathroom break on the lawn behind you. Before you snap your selfie, take a quick look around to make sure that no one and nothing is lurking in the shadows, waiting to ruin your moment.

pic 15

Grab a few more people to be in the photo.

The first requirement of a Selfie is that you have be in it, but there’s no rule that says you have to be alone! Grab some friends, siblings, your dog, and other people to take a picture with you. The picture won’t be as controlled, but it’ll be visually interesting and fun for other people to look at and share.

pic 16

Experiment with filters.

Most people who take selfies also happen to have an app on their phones that can add interesting dimension through the use of color and light filters. Not every filter is right for every selfie, so play around with different options before settling on the best one.
The simplest filters are “black and white” and “sepia.” Even if you don’t have an app installed on your phone, you probably have these features.

Swachh Bharat Meets Gandhigiri In Hyderabad!!

0

By Shahamat Hussain

1 (13)

Swachh Bharat was launched by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 2nd October 2014. It was launched with the mission on Gandhi’s 150th birthday anniversary. This mission aims at Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of clean and hygienic India.

2 (11)

By inviting people to this Abhiyan it has become a national Movement. It is being supported by people pan India and getting admired widely. The mantra of this Movement is Na gandagi karenge, Na gandagi karne denge (we should neither litter or let anyone else do the same)” .

3 (8)

The message of swachh Bharat is being spread through advertisement in theatres, television, print media and Radio and getting a positive response from the public. Recently, the traffic Police of Hyderabad did a very Gandhian way of disapproval by feliciting the people with Garland who pee on the road. This unique act by the police has made people amused and aware to use the public

4 (8)

Property in the right etiquette in the city. Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Kailash Kher, Priyanka Chopra  Sachin Tendulkar, Sania Mirza, Saina Nehwal and Mary Kom have been the lively participant of this movement.

Curiosity Kills The Cat ! And We Don’t Really Mind If It’s This Exquisite!!

0

It’s a very quirky thing, isn’t it? Curiosity Kills The Cat. The sentence in itself is so well thought out and particularly elusive, that it makes you pause in your step for a moment, and take notice. That is precisely what happened to me, when I came across a stall at Comic Con Hyderabad, hanging banners and posting placards of the said sentence. Minutes later, checking out the mesmerising paintings on display at the stall, I had a realisation that I wasn’t probably equipped enough to properly appreciate it. In order to understand them, I had to speak to the brilliant mind behind them. And a good five months later, I had the opportunity to finally get some answers through my conversations with Reshmi Sekhar. Read On my excerpts from the talk…

10Hello, Reshmi. You know what, I’ll just have to get it off my chest…What Does Curiosity Kills The Cat, stand for? And how come you chose abstract painting to express yourself?
Curiosity Kills The Cat stands for everything arty, crazy, experimental and quirk. The namesake because there is a cat hidden somewhere in every drawing I make.
I’ve always enjoyed doodling (I’m an architect by profession and drawing is practically all I did for 4 years) so post college, the progression into art was (somewhat?) natural.

12Somewhat.. Yeah! I’ve always had this nagging doubt, Is there a moment in life where one decides to be an artist. I mean can you probably point out at one?
It’s hard to recall actually, I’ve had phases where I’ve enjoyed drawing/ painting but nothing stuck on till I started architecture.

7

Guess that was it then…Is there a particular genre that you are more inclined towards presently?
Right now, I love what I do. I do draw a lot about how music makes me feel. So exploring the album art and gig poster bit is what I’m leaning towards currently.. I also love architecture, so I would want to find a mid-ground between these two.

16 Also, Many at times we look at paintings going for a particular theme or soul? Do you look for any such inclusions in yours?
I don’t think so much before I draw. Besides, everyone interprets art differently right? Music can influence me the most I guess so that would be my biggest inspiration.
Any form of art at the end of the day is a means of expression. As long as that is honest I think you’ve hit both the theme and soul bit.

8

So Very True..What do you look in muses as such, …or is it that, you go for a very abstract imagination? How does it work for you?
I love endlessly going through art and photos. Especially ocean and star-sky related stuff. That intrigues me. Nothing is fresh or new – everything you create stems from a trigger from something else. So your art is a product of these little culminations.

1 (5)That is the thing, I guess. So here, How easy or difficult is it for a talented painter such as yourself, to probably make it big presently ?
It depends on what you achieve as an artist. This is such a great time for the industry in India. There are so many creative minds out there and so much beautiful collaborative work being put out.
So yes it’s a lot of work but it’s very rewarding. And yes-social media has made it easy to display your work and reach a large audience, so it is an extremely important in today’s fast paced Digi-world.

9 Now to something interesting ( I think ), What according to you are the five most beautiful paintings in India or in fact even World, that makes you derive soul from, time and again ?
My number one favourite is Starry Night by Van Gogh. There is something about the colours that has always put me in a trance.
I love all of Tyeb Mehta’s art. It always gives me something fresh to think about.
Joanna Davala, a Bangalore based illustrator whose work I came across recently. I always find myself going back to her art.. It’s so simple and so beautiful. The big fat Minimalist – Anirudh Mehta – ALL of his work. Love it.
Tanjore Paintings. Radically different from what I do, which is why there’s so much to learn from it. The forms and figures really jump at you. So much of a story is told through those expressions.
14Quite a list there Reshmi, Wonderful. I’m curious though, What kind of equipment and boards do you prefer to use?
Most of my work is hand done.. I’m just about beginning to explore digital mediums. I use ink pens (they give you the best control over your hand), Rotring Pens, a lot of pro markers,pencils of course,watercolors, graphite paints and dry graphite.
Just use whatever material that is lying around. Sure, art supplies are expensive, but it’s no fun till you throw in some coffee stains. As for paper, textured heavier paper if you’re using heavier mediums. Otherwise a simple sketchbook and ink pen does the trick.

17

Any advice you would like to give to  the budding painters that want to make it big in this preferred arena?
I’m still learning myself, there isn’t much advice I can give really. I guess if you love it just keep at it and be true to your work. Adapt and evolve your style, your means of expression and just see where it takes you.

2

I think I’ve gotten something wonderful here. Thank you Reshmi for that. I must confess that it will still take some effort on my part, to actually understand the paintings. But yeah, now I know what I’m looking for.

11

So that was Reshmi Sekhar, talking about all the things wonderful. And I guess the curious cat in us, just became even more curious of the paintings at hand. Fret not, we’ve got some coming up below that are sure to make your heart flutter.

Just for You : Powerful Balakrishna Dialogues

 

Anil & Bhanu’s Digital Gem of Work Sets The Needed Bar For Premam In Telugu

0

A movie that took the nation by storm was Premam. Be it from the outstanding camera angles or using 1500 butterflies for capturing few simple yet mesmerising shots. Off late, Premam has been a benchmark cinema in every way.

It was last year at this time when the Premam poster in Malayalam designed by Tuney John was released and it created a lot of buzz. Before we concrete on the poster design of Premam in Telugu, we definitely need to know about the marvellous artist duo Anil & Bhanu. Famous designer duos in the Telugu film industry have been giving a treat to our eyes with their posters for quite sometime now. More than bugging you with my words, let me just retrieve few of their posters from the recent past. You guys can conclude for yourself the creativity that summersaults in their heads.

1502622_913794242049350_4109893906948565110_o12484652_919333084828799_4618482746694196262_o12697335_934200283342079_3942808465175221861_o12525498_924346130994161_3245619479172186663_o12322769_933001260128648_8057902004595027308_o

If these weren’t enough, the duo surprised everyone with the Premam poster which has already been doing the rounds on social media.

12764653_936993013062806_5462547702975695647_o

Kudos to the duo for this master stroke and setting the bar way higher than what we could expect. Look closely and the poster conveys the rugged and romantic guy who loves to fall in love. With the caption aptly describing ‘Love stories end. Feeling don’t..’ brings butterflies in your stomach. The excitement is up in the air and we are already waiting to watch this alchemy.

Ever since the news broke out with Chandoo Mondeeti helming this Malayalam piece of brilliance, everyone was positive that the Telugu Premam will definitely revive the magic. And one must admit that, with Autonagar Surya, Naga Chaitanya has definitely matured a lot as an actor and will pull this off successfully.

The movie is being produced by S Radha Krishna and the cinematography is by Karthik Gattamneni. Yes, mentioned him for a reason here. Check out his earlier work, Karthikeya with Chandoo Mondeti and Surya vs Surya (his directorial debut) – they should should answer your queries regarding visuals in this Telugu remake.

How Trump Didn’t Even Leave The Pope Out Of It..!!

0

By Sonika Kumar
Donald trump has been the talk of the world, over his immigration policies. This insanely rich real estate mogul believes ( and is quite adamantly expressing ) that Americans will only be safe from terrorism only if the Muslims are stayed out of the country. It is quite shocking for the world to see he is opting to openly create barriers. Like it or not, Donald Trump might not be capturing hearts worldwide, but he surely is capturing the media coverage more than any other presidential candidate presently. While his over confidence to deal with issues are pretty radical for a GOP front runner, He stretched his rant towards the Pope this time.

giphy (2)Pope, who was touring Mexico was addressing over humanitarian crisis in United States. In his speech he gave out a statement that not so subtly took a dig at Donald Trump “A person who believes in building walls instead of building bridges, is not a Christian”.

giphy (1)

Donald trump replied back to this saying that the Pope’s comments were disgraceful, as a religious leader cannot question a person’s faith. He added to his speech saying “If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS’s ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been president”.

giphy (3)

What was even more surprising was the public reaction over this issue. While many called the Pope a bit too liberal in his approach ( demanding his active involvement in making the Vatican city glorious again ), there many others who dismissed Trump’s inexcusable counter back. At a moment where many nations are banning Donald Trump to even enter their countries and even President Obama himself publicly not supporting him, It is quite contary to see that a large portion of the Americans believe that Mr.Trump could bring in a change to the country by imposing the said immigration policies.

giphy (4)

Nevertheless, Donald Trump remains to be the strongest player in the presidential race. One to have clearly understood and ominously grant what a lot of Americans seem to have wanted for long, irrespective of it being against the true spirit of America. Only time will have to tell, if these antics by Mr.Trump gets him to take over the coveted occupancy in the American History.
