Waterfall


Dudhsagar Falls - Goa, India

June 28, 2008

  • Dudhsagar Falls is the second highest waterfall in India and proved to be a real challenge to get to. 
    The road which would normally take you there by Jeep was washed out 
    by heavy monsoon rainfall and a raging river was now flowing over it. 
    Alternately, we hired several motorbike riders to take us up to the falls. 
    The ride up was on a very narrow path along the loose gravel of the railway tracks, 
    over several makeshift log spans. We even had a collision between two of the three bikes.
     After about half an hour we had made it as far as we could and had to hike the rest of the
     way along the tracks in the rain. Several hours of walking later
     (and scrambling to get out of the way of oncoming trains in tunnels) we made it to
     the falls which were spectacular.

  •  

  • The trip back was just as harrowing, I ended up with several leeches on my foot
     and we didn't get back to the bikes until sunset which meant that we had to negotiate
     the same narrow, winding trail in the dark. Sometimes the journey is just as amazing as
     the destination.

    Shahrukh Khan
    While many B-Town stars have been proud owners of deluxe vanity vans for years,  has made do with rented vans and make-up rooms. But last week the actor acquired a hi-end hugely spacious vanity van designed by ace car designer Dilip Chabria.
    Shahrukh Khan
    Says a source who has seen the van, “It’s based on the longest Volvo Chassis in the world and has multiple axles. Shahrukh is the first actor in B-Town to own a vehicle with two sets of axles in the rear.” The Van is steel grey in colour and SRK took active interest in the design. The interior colours are in chrome, steel, white, and black stark – simple stark colours.
    Shahrukh Khan
    SRK’s van is like a palace on wheels. According to a source, “Its more like space ship. It’s not just technologically well equipped with computers etc but is aesthetically futuristic in design. Shahrukh knew exactly what he wanted right down to where a plug point is. The actor had several meetings with Dilip and his son before finalizing on the design.”
    Shahrukh Khan
    The source further adds, “Apart from the usual drawing room and resting rooms, this van has a room which no star in B-Town has a workout room complete with all kind of latest gym equipments. The van has many unique tricks like when it’s stationary it becomes wider to increase floor space and some of the rooms expand.
    Shahrukh Khan
    The van took three months to design. Shahrukh says, “It’s just a van. That’s all.” Though Dilip Chabria is reluctant to give details about the van he says, “I am highly impressed and surprised at Shahrukh’s level of knowledge and involvement at the design stage. Designing the van was our most difficult, ambitious and fastest project that we have ever done in the last 16 years.”

    How Shahrukh Khan’s Ra.One Will Recover Rs. 150 Crore



    How Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra.One Will Recover Rs. 150 Crore . This has been penned by Komal Nahta for Koimoi.com
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    There have been whispers in trade circles that Shah Rukh Khan’s reckless spending on Ra.One may cost him dear. Although nobody knows for sure what the budget of the costliest Hindi film actually is, it is estimated that the superstar-producer may have spent around Rs. 125 crore to make the film. If one were to add another Rs. 25 crore as cost of promotion and release, the total investment in the computer graphics-heavy Ra.One would be Rs. 150 crore. Shah Rukh plans to convert the film into 3D.
    However, the position is not as grim as is being made out to be by the industry people. Rather, there’s every chance that Ra.One will cover its huge cost and, in fact, fetch profits. Here’s how:
    Ra.One: Projected Overseas Business – Rs. 45 crore
    Shah Rukh Khan is the badshah among Bollywood actors in the Overseas circuit. At least ten of his starrers figure in the Top 20 list of Bollywood films in the US and the UK. His last release, My Name Is Khan, crossed the Rs. 35 crore-mark abroad. Given the fact that it would be almost after two years that a Shah Rukh film would be releasing, one can safely estimate the business of Ra.One to increase by 20% over that of MNIK. Besides, Ra.One is being dubbed in German and given King Khan’s supreme popularity in Germany, one can safely add another couple of crore rupees to the Overseas business of Ra.One from the German version. Therefore, a figure of Rs. 45 crore seems achievable for Ra.One. We are talking of distributor’s share here, not net collection.
    Ra.One: Satellite Rights – Rs. 40 crore
    It is rumoured that Shah Rukh Khan will be richer by Rs. 40 crore when his deal for satellite rights of Ra.One goes through.
    Ra.One: Music Rights – Rs. 7 crore
    King Khan couldn’t have settled for anything less than Rs.7 crore for the audio rights of his super-hero extravaganza. The figure may be higher than this, but not lower, for sure.
    Ra.One: Tamil & Telugu Dubbed Versions’ Business – Rs. 1 crore
    In the worst case scenario, the 3D and 2D versions of the Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions of Ra.One can be expected to yield a combined share of Rs. 1 crore.
    Ra.One: India Theatrical Business – Rs. 70 crore
    Since Ra.One will come on the festive occasion of Diwali and will be released on a Wednesday (October 26), the five-day weekend (Oct. 26-30) can be safely expected to be bountiful. On a conservative estimate, the film could net Rs. 90 crore in the five-day weekend. For a net of Rs. 90 crore, the distributor’s share would easily amount to Rs. 50 crore. So, this would likely be the share for the first five-day weekend. Add a share of at least Rs. 8 crore for the balance four days and you have Rs. 58 crore at the end of the first week itself. Fetching another Rs. 12 crore in the subsequent weeks should not be a problem for the film. Of course, the five-day net collection of Rs. 90 crore is only an estimation. This figure could go up to Rs. 100 or even 110 crore. In that case, the first weekend’s share could go up to Rs. 55 or even 58 crore! If that were to happen, the first week’s India share alone could be Rs. 70 crore.
    So, what does the total business figure come to?
    Overseas : Rs. 45 crore
    Satellite : Rs. 40 crore
    Music : Rs. 7 crore
    Tamil/Telugu : Rs. 1 crore
    India : Rs. 70 crore
    Total : Rs. 163 crore
    The calculations and estimations reveal that Ra.One may, after all, not be the risky proposal it is assumed to be by the trade people. Only if, God forbid, the film doesn’t find acceptance will recovery of the unduly high cost of the film be an impossibility for producer Shah Rukh Khan.
    Otherwise, SRK doesn’t need to really worry.

    Radiation Effects Of Mobile Phone Technology

    A very important message to everyone, please read it carefully. 

    1 Egg , & 2 Mobiles
    65 minutes of connection between mobiles.
    We assembled something as per image: 

    ATT00001
    Initiated the call between the two mobiles and allowed 65 minutes approximately. ..
    During the first 15 minutes nothing happened;
    25 minutes later the egg started getting hot;
    45 minutes later the egg is hot;
    65 minutes later the egg is cooked.
     

    ATT00001 (1)
    Conclusion: The immediate radiation of the mobiles has the potential to modify the proteins of the egg. Imagine what it can do with the proteins of your brains when you do long calls. 
    Please try to reduce long time calls on mobile phones and pass this mail to all your friends & Family you care for.
