IPL Latest
2008-03-23 03:32:00
The BCCI had announced that March 18 would be the deadline for the eight teams to announce their final line-ups for the inaugural edition of the IPL. - Lalit Modi. Well, that date has since passed, and I have yet to find an official source containing the final list of players. The IPL website itself has no information - it seems to be updated very rarely, if ever. This is only a partial list of some of the interim signings.Anyway, being so captivated in understanding the composition of the various IPL teams, I couldn't wait any further, and I know you couldn't. So I've collected information from several official resources to come out with a comprehensive list of all the players who are contracted by a team in the IPL.Below is the TLG IPL Auction Team Ratings based on our rating algorithms,


Player Rankings in ICL
2008-03-23 03:23:00
The ICL is underway and while it may not have the glamour and glitz the IPL has, it is not without its own key performers and quality cricketers.It is pity that the general bull-headedness of the cricket administrators mean that we can only wonder what some of these players could have done in their national colours, had they not been banned or forced into premature retirements.

Marcus Trescothick Calls it a Day
2008-03-23 02:52:00
MARCUS TRESCOTHICK has failed in his battle to overcome a stress-related illness that made coping with travel difficult and retired from international cricket. The former England opener pulled out of the tour of India in March 2006 and returned home from Australia in November of the same year. “It is in the best interests of all concerned the issue is put to rest so the England team can concentrate on moving forward,” he said. Trescothick, 32, averaged 43.79 in scoring 5,825 runs in 76 Tests for England and played 123 one-day internationals. England are looking into rearranging the way they pay their leading players so that a greater proportion of income derives from successful performance rather than basic retainers. If the changes come into effect later this year, it may be interp

2008-03-19 12:21:00
The Chennai team of BCCI’s Indian Premiere League (IPL) has roped in two top stars from Kollywood to add colour to the team. Chennai Super Kings formally embraced the glamour that cinema is believed to bring along by roping in two Kollywood biggies as its brand ambassadors.

IPL-A NEW Money Maker For Cricketers !!!!
2008-02-22 00:45:00
As expected, IPL showered billion dollars on the cricket players today. Even the Board of Control for Cricket in India and IPL officials were surprised at the huge amount showered by owners of different teams to get their favorite players in their team. Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid are the icon players who will not be available for the auction. They will play for their home team and they will be paid 15% more than the highest paid player in their team.It was no surprise that all the players in the reserve pool were sold for their base price with former Australia pacer Glenn McGrath topping the list at US $350,000 to Delhi.Australia's batting trump card Michael Hussey must be a bit disappointed after being taken over by Chennai for US $250

Rajini In Politics ?????
2008-02-12 23:01:00
“I don’t know when and how I would come. But I will definitely come at the right time” – this is a famous punch dialogue of Superstar Rajinikanth. He uttered this way back in 1995 (in ‘Muthu’) when speculations about his entry into politics was dominating the political scene. Though he hasn’t shown any inclination to come to the politics so far, his fans don’t take these words as mere filmy dialogue. They sincerely believe that this would come true one day or the other. Now Rajini has added strength to their hopes. He has openly declared that he would think about entering politics after two years. He told this in Andhra Pradesh where he went to attend the marriage of the son of Murali, his assistant. The first ever open statement by Rajini on his political entry has taken

2008-02-12 22:39:00
It is official at last! Sanjay Dutt tied the knot to his long-time girl friend Manyata. According to reports the couple was legally married at a ceremony that took place at Taj Exotica on February 7, 2008. The Hindu-style ceremony is said to take place at the bride’s companion’s place. The couple had the gossip mongers going after them when they jointly wished the Shiv Sena supremo, Bal Thackeray on his 82nd birthday in a Marathi news paper. We also have sources saying that Sanju baba’s buddies Bunty Walia and Dhram Uberoi flew down from Mumbai to witness the ritual. The groom was sporting a cool T-shirt while the bride wore a casual top and trousers. Manyata was seen sporting a very expensive wedding band and sindhoor for the first

Kamal, Vijay, Ajith, Trisha, and Rajini
2008-02-08 22:10:00
Trisha might have missed the chance of acting with the superstar. But she is dancing with him for a single song. It will be in ‘Kuselan’, Rajinikanth’s next film. Wait. Trisha is not the only star who is dancing with the superstar. The song has Kamal Haasan, Ajith, and Vijay as well. The movie, portraying Rajini as a superstar, has a song sequence featuring all these stars. When director P. Vasu requested all these stars, everyone immediately accepted to act. So, we will get to see many leading stars appearing together on screen after a long time.

Simran out of 'Kuselan'
2008-02-08 22:06:00
The latest buzz about superstar Rajinikanth’s 'Kuselan' is that Simran is not acting in the movie. The erstwhile queen of Kollywood has confirmed this during an informal chat with some reporters. It may be recalled that it was Simran, who had earlier informed that she would act in 'Kuselan'. Now she has clearly said that she is out of the project. She hasn’t come out with any reason behind the development. “For some reasons”, was her response to a specific query on the reason for not acting in the movie. Simran is set to entertain the Tamil audience through her serial titled ‘Simran Chinnathirai’ in Jaya TV. As of now, it seems that Simran has to confine herself within the boundaries of small screen for the time being.


Title of ‘Robot’ in Tamil
2008-02-08 22:03:00
Everyone knows that the title of Rajinikanth – Aishwarya Rai starrer ‘Robot ’ would probably be changed in due course keeping an eye on tax concession given by Tamil Nadu government for Tamil titles. Though ‘Robot’ is director Shankar’s favorite title, he is expected to change the title for practical reasons and for better appeal with local flavor. It is said that veteran writer Sujatha, the dialogue writer of the mega project, has suggested a title. It is believed that he has suggested ‘Iyandiran’ or ‘Iyandira’. The title in Tamil is closer to the meaning conveyed by ‘Robot’. It is worth recalling that Sujatha has written a novel revolving around an all powerful machine. The title was ‘En Iniya Iyandira’ (my beloved machine).

And now…. is it SRK VS Rajini?
2008-02-08 21:59:00
The travel of Malayalam movie ‘Katha Parayumbol’ has led to many interesting developments. The most exciting development is that the movie has created a situation where we could see a rare contest between SRK and Rajini this year. ‘Katha Parayumbol’ by Sreenivasan is now getting remade in Tamil and Telugu with the title ‘Kuselan’. Superstar Rajinikanth is portraying the lead role in both versions and P. Vasu directs this bilingual affair. The latest buzz is that director Priyadarshan has got the Hindi remake rights of ‘Katha Parayumbol’. He will direct the film for Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. King Khan will act in the role played by Mammootty in the original and our very own superstar will do the same in Telugu and Tamil. It is a surprising coincidence t


Yogi B is back in Kuruvi
2008-02-08 21:44:00
This is a time for remix songs and one of the best remix of the recent times is the song ‘Eengeyum Eepodhum’ from the film ‘Polladhavan’. One person who comes to our mind when we remember this song is the one who sang the remix song Yogi B. This song has proved to be a craze among the present day youth and was received with as much enthusiasm as that of its older version. The latest buzz on Yogi B. is that he is going to sing for the film ‘Kuruvi’ which is in the making, starring Vijay and Trisha. Yogi B. is a famous Malaysian-Tamil pop singer and this time he is going to shake a leg with Vijay for ‘Kuruvi’. This Vijay-Yogi pair is expected to be a hit but we have to wait patiently to know if this is going to be another remix until further new


Actor Kunal commits suicide
2008-02-08 21:26:00
Actor Kunal who shot to fame throughout the country with his debut film ‘Kadhlar Dinam’ directed by Kathir passes away. He was found dead early this morning at his flat in Andheri, Mumbai. The desolate actor committed suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling fan in the wee hours of Thursday (February 7). Our sources say that the actor was undergoing a spell of depression for the last few days, though the reason for the same is unknown. Kunal’s friend, Laveena, was reportedly present when the incident took place. She however, claimed not to have witnessed anything as she had gone to the bathroom. His wife Anu was not present at the spot, as she was visiting her parents in Ahmednagar. Kunal, who is basically a north

Will Apple ever cease their wondrous innovations? I know, i know, what a terribly dumb question. Its what they do, its what they are all about. Next up is MacBook Air. via - Living Green Im not a techy, so i wont go into the miraculous technological advances of this laptop.

A cool ride
2008-02-08 01:11:00
Now this is what you would call a really cool set of wheels! Built from a cooler box, this vehicle runs on electricity and still acts as a cooler too! There are other models in the range this electric one will give you around ten miles, while the gas model will take you along for thirty miles, that’s you and twenty four cans of beer! No price, but it the thought that counts


Electrum Spyder Electric Car
2008-02-08 01:09:00
The common knowledge that electric cars look weird will surely change once they get a chance to see this electric convertible car. With the sporty look that can only accommodate the driver and one passenger, people who emphasize on speed without emissions are sure to love this vehicle. Using nickel zinc batteries to run on, it can be upgraded later on if the battery life of this electric car lacks the amount of useful life to keep the Electrum Spyder running.The Electrum Spyder is an exciting 2 passenger convertible all electric freeway flier that will be available in limited production. Powered by a 300 vdc system, the Spyder provides an effective range of up to 150 miles on a full charge using nickel zinc batteries, standard in all of our vehicles.

Good example of cheap travel
2008-02-08 01:07:00
Here’s a great way to zoom around the streets on your way to work, its the twelve miles an hour that make it a sort of sports version of the Segway. The easy glider six will pull the rider along on roller skates, skate board or the two wheeled platform. It has lights, hand break, three power levels and can even come with a music system.


Solar powered boat
2008-02-08 01:06:00
This is a really cool idea, works especially well with people who are on their annual holidays, of course it has to be somewhere with plenty of sun, otherwise they may get stranded! However with plenty of sun the electric engine will glide through the water silently and at around five miles an hour, the batteries will hold a charge of around six hours, which means that there is plenty of power to get around even if the sun is a little low. Priced at $10,500

The ultimate eco car
2008-02-08 01:04:00
No matter what they say about cars, they are no really eco friendly because of how they are made and all of the metals, plastics and other materials used. But this guy from the Ukraine certainly has the right idea. The car is made from wood, which makes it pretty strong, but you would think heavy, but it uses an old 1981 Opel engine to power it along but I doubt if has a serious acceleration and top speed. However as an exercise on what can be done it’s a good idea, although it’s not likely to be taken up by the major car makers, yet!


The Recycling Problem of Plastic Waste
2008-02-08 01:03:00
Apparently we are all aware that recycling is the best alternative to get rid of waste and convert them into something useful for our world today. Plastic has however posed some problems, being one of the materials that is indeed hard to recycle and this has been in turn becoming a problem for people all over the world. Banning them is a good alternative but the problem is we are all very reliant on them as far as containers and other uses are concerned. Retailers are sure to be the first ones to complaint and unless someone comes up with a good alternative storage for their products, chances are we are not resolving the plastic waste problem we are now facing.

It doesn't get bigger than this; Kamal Haasan's magnum opus Dasavatharam, which is being directed by K.S. Ravi Kumar and produced by Oscar Ravichandran, is pulling all stops in its quest to becoming the most talked about film for a long time. Beginning with the audio release, which is to be presided over by none other than Asian martial arts legend Jackie Chan, the film has now added another feather to its cap, or in this case, two feathers. The film will feature two of Tamil Nadu's biggest politicians in cameo appearances - M. KARUNANIDHI, the reigning CM and former CM J. JAYALALITHAA.The film has Kamal taking up 10 different avatars - one of them being a scientist. According to the scene, Kamal Haasan's scientist is being felicitated for his new discovery by the United States Presiden


Pakistan's New PM a Bhutto Loyalist
2008-03-24 09:40:00
A longtime loyalist of slain opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was elected Pakistan 's new prime minister Monday and vowed to seek the release of judges detained under President Pervez Musharraf.Yousaf Raza Gilani will form a new government dominated by Musharraf's foes, who have vowed to slash the U.S.-backed president's sweeping powers and review his counterterrorism policies. Bhutto's party routed Musharraf's allies in parliamentary elections last month.Gilani immediately shook hands with Bhutto's son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who wiped tears from his face and smiled. His mother held the post of prime minister twice before being killed in a suicide attack in December.The National Assembly voted 264-42 to elect Gilani, who will be sworn in Tuesday by Musharraf.Cheers of "Long live Bhutto, B


Tsunami interrupts Dasavatharam Shooting
2008-03-30 07:23:00
Yes it is true! But we mean not literally. The producer Oscar Ravichandran has divulged some very interesting facts about this film. Mr. Ravichandran while talking about this film spoke about the huge sets that were erected for a tsunami shoot. Around two acres of land was used with more than 1000 artists in the scene. The shoot for this particular scene lasted for 50 days. We all know that 'Dasavatharam' has been taking longer than usual to hit the theatres, but there seems to be genuine reason behind the delay. The hero, Kamal Haasan has worked strenuously with his diet as well his looks for the film and has wore layers of makeup all over his body for the right look the scenes demand from him. There is also a sneak preview of the film where Kamal is portrayed as Brahmin and who gets dro
