The two supremos - Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan -- after a gap.

Initially, director Vivek Sharma was toying with the idea of making a small film, but when he narrated the subject to Chopra, the producer insisted that they approach Bachchan Sr. for the role in question. However, Bachchan Sr. wasn’t keen on doing the film. Reason being, he wasn’t too sure of Vivek’s abilities. But when he eventually agreed to act

As Zimbabwe's electoral crisis shudders into a fourth week, domestic and international tensions are running high. At least 10 people have been killed in election-related violence since the vote on March 29, over 3,000 have been forced from their homes, and the government has detained about 400 opposition supporters. The government is still refusing to release the results of the presidential elections, and a "recount" threatens to reverse the opposition's parliamentary victory. Electoral officials on Saturday began recounting ballots for a couple of dozen legislative seats being challenged — an exercise that could overturn the opposition's majority win. Most of the seats being recounted were declared for opposition candidates, including in Mugabe's home district of Zvimba. [Opposition spo

The candidate match quiz doesn't really help. Neither one scores above 30% for me, but that's because I go all Libertarian on these things. I can't help it. The phrasing rubs my anti-authoritarian feathers the wrong way.If I had to go on issues alone, and Huckabee and Obama were the final showdown, Huckabee would get my vote. But if I had to go with my gut on who seems like a generally more rational person, a better choice for the country in international terms, it would have to be Obama.Mom asked a funny question. Who would you rather have at a party? She says Obama, hands down. Even though I'm inclined to agree, I'm not sure that qualifies as a political litmus test. Though it does speak to the power of the gut feeling. I just don't get the impression Hucky has his head screwed on right.

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got sick and the doctor said she might not recover.In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.He asked her about the contents. "When we were to be married," she said, " my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue.

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde Friday expressed confidence that the Group of Seven nations' forceful language on the Chinese yuan would help relieve some of the upward pressure on the European currency, despite the strong euro getting no direct mention in the G7's final communique. "The Chinese president has said during the Communist Party Congress that he wishes to increase the convertibility and the flexibility of the yuan," Lagarde said during a press conference after the G7 leading industrial nations released their statement. "This is good news. I am happy that in this G7 communique there is a specific paragraph about the yuan, calling for an accelerated appreciation of the effective exchange rate of the yuan against other currencies, and notably the euro." The G7 communique calls on China to allow "an accelerated appreciation of its effective exchange rate," in view of this country's "rising current account surplus and domestic inflation." Fr

Acupressure is a traditional healing practice that involves the application of finger pressure to specific acupuncture points on the body. This point stimulation promotes circulation, eases muscle tension, and stimulates the body's inherent healing ability, making it ideal for people who have arm tension and aches from prolonged keyboarding, writing, or any other repetitive movement.Instructions:With your thumb or middle finger at a 90 degree angle to the skin, apply gradually increasing pressure. Hold for 2-3 minutes. Each point will feel different; it may be achy, sore, or tense.The pressure should not be painful or uncomfortable - don't try to bore a hole into your arm!The points do not have to be used together to be effective, so choose the most tense points if you do not have time for the whole routine.

By: When you ask people where most of their daily stress comes from, majority will tell you that it either comes from their home or from work, with greater emphasis on the latter. Because work is a paid endeavor, and the time alloted for it is regular and measured, a lot of people say the routine is what bothers them in addition to the gnarly boss, the file pile-ups, and the gossip-mongering co-workers. If you feel you are suffering from occupational stress, then this is the article for you.

Outright racists can cause a lot of problems in the workplace. But, there are other types of people that can initiate race-based problems in the workplace. And, these individuals sometimes present more of a challenge, when it comes to proving allegations of race-based misconduct/bias. I’m referring to racial provocateurs in the workplace.The problem, as I’ve witnessed it, is that far too many people don’t think about what they are saying in the workplace. The problem also includes far too many people who are intentionally provocative and going out of their way to push race-related hot buttons at work. There are a lot of so-called “innocent” comments made that cause a whole lot of race-related tensions to jump off in the office.I’m not sure how often White workers really give deep thought to the racially loaded things they say to their Black coworkers, as well as the racially loaded questions they ask.
