Saqlain Mushtaq says he has got back his confidence and self-esteem after his performance against India for Sussex and is open to the idea of donning the England cap to satisfy his desire to return to top flight cricket. The 30-year-old Pakistan's forgotten off-spinner made a successful comeback to competitive cricket this week with a four-wicket haul against India in a tour match. It was his first proper match in two years time after he underwent two surgeries to correct knee injuries that have haunted him since 2004 when he last played for Pakistan, ironically also against India in Multan finishing with the unimpressive figures of 1 for 204. Saqlain, who was also last week granted a ...

Didn’t I tell you Ranbir dear! Deepika Padukone is not what you are looking for? Well, but I think mommy Neetu is putting her foot down too much and too many times. So next time when you fancy a girl, take permission from mommy darling first. It seems like Rishi and Neetu Kapoor first wants you to make a secure place in bollywood and than move to “Aashiqui” stuff. Well! I too agree with them. Mommy Neetu’s foot down: When Ranbir was dating Nandita Mantani. Now when Deepika gave an interview talking about her ‘close friendship’ with Ranbir. Family were upset as they don’t want any verbal announcements of their son’s relationships at this stage of his ...

Brazil's 1970 World Cup winning team have been voted the best of all time in a global poll of experts conducted by World Soccer magazine. World Soccer magazine described Brazil's 1970 winners as "more than a team", adding: "the Brazilian side that won the 1970 World Cup in such style have become a myth, a team to be held up as the ultimate exponents of the beautiful game".

The vote for the greatest match of all time completed a hat-trick for events that took place in World Cups in Mexico. The experts ...

[Scrubs] is a US comedy sitcom I am addicted to now-a-days. It’s all about group of mad and funny doctors and nurses working together in a hospital “Sacred Heart”. My favourites are couple Christopher Turk (Donald Faison) & Carla (Judy Reyes) and their friend living with them John Dorian know as "J.D." (Zach Braff) who is very funny and naughty doctor.This show is really hilarious and a good timepass.Other characters also plays very important role in the show such as The fatherly chief of medicine, Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins), the abrasive- worldly Dr. Perry Cox (John McGinley), and the caring but slightly jaded nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes). The hospital janitor (Neil Flynn) also never seems to miss an opportunity ...

Sujoy Mukherjee, the webmaster of John Abhraham's website, has revealed that the website gets 7 million hits per month. Sujoy will need to understand that the assessment of web statistics in terms of "hits" is an obsolete method, in case he doesn't want to mislead the audience with wrong statistics. I think this statistics includes the hits of Bots and Spiders, and hits of image files ( including small graphics of design corners) as well. The html source code of the  website doesn't show any client side web Analytics code which means the statistics is derived from the web log files. I have always find it very difficult to exclude the traffic of bots and spiders from statistics of log files, this is the reason why ...

Review hmm! Awarapan, shitest movie of Mahesh Bhatt. I actually went to the counter and asked the man on the counter to return my money…..in a funny tone. He started laughing, because he was “angrez” he said “didn’t you like the movie, Awaarapaaaan”, which made me laugh loud. Jokes apart……the film was really pathetic. I pity Pakistani’s, poor souls after the official release of films like “Mughal-e-Azam” and “Taj Mahal”, Awarapan is the official release in Pakistan. Well I know they will be very much disappointed and will never approve any Bollywood movie again, atleast not any of Mahesh Bhatt’s movie. Incidentally, Awarapan was the first film from the Bhatt camp to have a wide overseas release, courtesy of Studio 18 International. ...
