England beaten by 10 wickets

Amazingly, England fell short in their first series as world Test number ones, only Jonathan Trott delayed their downfall, as they were bowled out for 160 to lose this first match of three by 10 wickets.

Few could have imagined England would stumble at the first hurdle, against fast-improving opponents Pakistan. Captain Strauss admitted, England batted poorly in their first-innings for 192 - and it seemed unthinkable that they would not perform much better second time round.

In the first innings, it was off-spinner Saeed Ajmal – who finished with a match haul of 10 for 97 , while in second innings, England lost their top four to pacer Umar Gul (4-63).

Good luck Pakistan for Next one on 25 Jan.

Romney: Diplomacy with Pakistan is like dealing with a teenage child

Mitt Romney

 

The 57th United States Presidential Election will be held on November 6, 2012, and it will be expected to feature the present US President Barack Obama for the Democrats, against a yet to be decided Republican candidate.

At the age of 64, Mitt Romney, Governor of Massachusetts has so far emerged as the front runner for Republican candidate. Romney has vast personal fortune, a successful private career, a perfect family life, a sharp mind, a charismatic personality, and has reputation of great administrator.

Mitt Romney plans to rebuild the foundations of the American economy on the principles of free enterprise, hard work, and innovation. He seeks to increase trade, energy production, human capital, and labor flexibility.

On foreign policy, Romney claims to proceed with clarity to friends and allies and will safeguard US interests. He strongly believes that the best ally world peace has ever known is a strong America.

On Pakistan, Romney  says that diplomacy with Pakistan is like dealing with a teenage child. However, clarified “I don’t want to suggest that country is like a child, but in the way that when you deal with another person, we think of all these dimensions on which we try to influence them, we have to influence Pakistan.”

The Wall has a Big Hole

Indian batsman Rahul Dravid known as "The Wall" known for his watertight technique and temperament now holds the dubious distinction of being bowled most times in Test Cricket history. Dravid, who was bowled on the third day of the Perth Test against Australia, went past former Australian skipper Allan Border (53) in the list of most bowled batsman.

Surely, this is one record that Dravid doesn’t want his name on it. Mr Wall, who is known for his solid defense, has been bowled out eight times in last 10 matches. Surely, a big hole has appeared in the wall.

Holy Bowl once used by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

 

Ramzan Kadyrov displaying Prophet's "Holy Bowl"

Ramzan Kadyrov, the eccentric leader of Chechnya, is famous for his collections of wild animals and luxury cars. Now he claims to be the new owner of a bowl once used by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), presented to him by descendants in London.
A video shows Kadyrov, collecting the Holy Bowl from a private jet at Grozny airport and getting into a convertible Rolls-Royce covered in black and gold rugs, also said to have been brought from London. The Rolls-Royce leads a motorcade of dozens of cars to the city's grand mosque, opened by the Chechen leader in 2008 as part of his drive to increase the official role of Islam in the republic. Thousands of residents lined the streets as Kadyrov waved and wiped away tears. Wearing a bright purple suit and black skullcap, Kadyrov pushes through a massive crowd at the mosque, the largest in Europe. As he opens the box to reveal the bowl, Kadyrov erupts into loud sobs, shoulders shaking. He covers his reddened face after he kisses the Holy Bowl for the first time, leading the crowd in chants of "Allahu Akbar".

The sacred bowl was brought from London to Grozny and dated back 1,400 years. The bowl will be kept at the mosque and brought out every year on Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) birthday for public display.

Sindh after Pir Pagara

Pir Sahib Pagara, the spiritual leader and president of Pakistan Muslim League (F) passed away on Jan 10, 2012. He was an instrumental figure in the Pakistani politics and has played a key role in resolving many political disputes as well as formation of many coalitions. He was very famous in prediction about national politics. He was sometimes termed as a man of Pakistani Establishment because of his support to past army rulers. Political elites and prominent businessmen all over country have always sought after Pir Sahib’s support.

Pir Sahib was very vocal and perhaps the only challenging source to confront the might of PPP in rural Sindh. His support and backing was considered essential for smooth operation of ethnically divided Sindh provincial assembly. In the past, Pir Sahib played a crucial role in reducing tension and bringing urban and rural politician on one table. Pir Pagaro was considered master mind in forming coalition of anti-PPP forces like MQM, PML groups and independents. His maestro was clearly behind the formation of Jam Sadiq’s government in Sindh from 1990 to 1992 despite PPP’s majority in assembly.

Pir Sahib’s departure in the current political turmoil will be beneficial for PPP to great extent especially when new elections could be announced any time. Rural Sindh political grounds may become easy turf for PPP as it will have only nationalist as their rival. Pir Sahib was the leading campaigner for unification of PML groups and was it not the PML(N) refusal, we might have a unified PML in Pakistan. His departure will also upset the PML unification campaign. Besides other family and tribal issues, the new crowned Pir Pagara will have a daunting task to organize a political campaign to deal with the political might of PPP.

Katrina Kaif's Chikni Chambeli was actually a Bloody Item Song

Sources recently revealed that the shooting schedule for her item song for Agneepath was rather demanding and stretched over long hours. So much so, that while shooting for the song, Kat got blisters and her feet started bleeding. Worried about her condition, her staff asked the choreographer to stop the shoot. Packing up for the day would have meant sending Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt home, too.

But Katrina proved to be a thorough professional and insisted that the actors needn't worry about her. She resumed her dance in no time, and completed the shoot as planned. Looks like this Chameli gave it her 100 per cent! 

Katrina! Blood on Dance Floor
