Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bacchan, who more popularly called as "Big B", needs no introduction in India or even abroad. This man holds a charisma that remains unchallenged. More than an actor he has proved himself successful as an entrepreneur, politician, game show host, a singer and voiceover artist. To any Indian he is considered as a role model and they consider him as an example of how a man should be.

Amitabh Bacchan celebrates his birthday on 11th October. He was born in 1942 in Allahabad, as Amitabh Harivansh Srivastav to Dr.Harivansh Rai Bacchan and Teji Bacchan. His father was a well known poet. Bacchan was his pen name. When Amitabh entered the film industry he replaced Srivastav with Bacchan. He married his co-star Jaya Bhaduri of the Guddi fame on 3rd June 1973 and they have two children Shweta and Abhishek. Abhishek was married to the famous actor Aiswarya Rai. Bachhan’s unconventional looks – dark, lean and standing tall at a height of 6’2” - worked against him when it came to acting roles. But his deep voice, a trademark, held him in good stead with offers to work on narration and background commentary.

In 1969, Bachhan made his debut with Saat Hindustani, which won him the National Film Award for Best Newcomer. Bachchan has won numerous major awards in his career, including three National Film Awards and twelve Filmfare Awards. He holds the record for most number of Best Actor nominations at the Filmfare Awards.

The story shows how the aged parents endure this separation as well as horrible treatment from their children after all they have done for them in the past.

Kargil Victory

Today India celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Kargil war victory. 10 years ago on July 26, 1999, officers and jawans of the Indian armed forces successfully reclaimed the Indian land on the icy slopes of Kargil from Pakistani infiltrators. At least 520 Indian soldiers sacrificed their lives during one of the toughest wars fought against Pakistani intruders at Kargil, Drass and Batalik sectors of Jammu & Kashmir state.

The cause of the war was the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers and Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the Line of Control , which serves as the de facto border between the two states. During and directly after the war, Pakistan blamed the fighting entirely on independent Kashmiri insurgents, but documents left behind by casualties and later statements by Pakistan's Prime Minister and Chief of Army Staff showed involvement of Pakistani paramilitary forces, by General Ashraf Rashid. The Indian Army, later on supported by the Indian Air Force, attacked the Pakistani positions and, with international diplomatic support, eventually forced withdrawal of the Pakistani forces across the LOC.

Who equals Pete Sampras ??

Absolutely no doubt and even proud to say "Roger Federer", as I'm a big fan. Federer is a Swiss professional World No. 1 ranked tennis player, a position he held for a record of 237 consecutive weeks. Federer is considered by many to be the greatest player of all time. Federer holds numerous records in men's singles, including 14 Grand Slam titles- 3 Australian Open, 1 French Open, 5 Wimbledon, 5 US Open-, equalling the all-time record set by Pete Sampras.

Federer was born on August 8, 1981, in Binningen, near Basel, to Swiss national Robert Federer and South Africa-born Lynette Durand. He started playing tennis at the age of six. By the age of fourteen, Federer had learnt to get his serve over the net and he had become Switzerland's top junior (under-18s) player. Then Roger moved on to the main tour. He ended his first year on the tour as the youngest player in the top 100. By 2003, Federer had established a reputation as the most talented player to consistently choke on the big stage - spectacularly so.

Roger Federer's game is based around his big forehand, which is one of the best shots in tennis. His game's pretty one-dimensional, really. Without the forehand, he'd be nothing. You could just hit to his right hand side and you'd win every point. I'd like to see him hit a backhand winner from there. So a forehand less Federer would be useless. Though capable of overwhelming most of his opponents, Roger prefers to pick their games apart—sometimes exposing their weaknesses, sometimes finding ways to use their own strengths against them. These cat-and-mouse games used to be his undoing, but he has perfected his craft, and now it his opponents who look helpless at times, not him.

Federer established the Roger Federer Foundation in 2003 to help disadvantaged people and to promote sports to youth. He was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF in 2006. Since then, he has visited South Africa and Tamil Nadu, one of the worst tsunami-affected areas in India. He has also appeared in UNICEF public messages to raise public awareness of AIDS.
