'That Girl In Yellow Boots' - Official Trailer
Trailer of Anurag Kashyap's Next "That Girl in Yellow Boots" that is now releasing on September 2, 2011. I have been waiting for the movie for the last one year and happy that finally it will be releasing in India. I am a huge fan of Anurag Kashyap - the writer of the movies like Water and Black Friday and the Director of movies like Black Friday, Dev D.
I am also looking for his wife Kalki Koechlin in this movie who is playing the lead role in the movie. I'll be preferring this movie over Salman Khan's "Bodyguard" as that would be another bollywood masala movie.
But waiting for "That Girl in Yellow Boots" as Anurag Kashyap brings something new and very creative everytime.

Who is Anna Hazare
Who is Anna Hazare?
The Kishan Babu Rao Hazare, an ex-army man, fought 1965 Indo-Pak war.
From a tenacious soldier to a social reformer, and a Right To Information crusader, Anna Hazare’s journey of four decades has been unprecedented in terms of a non-violent yet effective campaign of resurrecting a barren village into an `ideal village’ model and empowering the faceless citizen through pioneering work on Right to Information. His efforts to empower grampanchayats, protect efficient government officers from frequent transfers and fight against the red tapism in government offices have also received accolades.
Anna Hazare is one of India's well-acclaimed social activists. A former soldier in the Indian army, Anna is well known and respected for upgrading the ecology and economy of the village of Ralegan Siddhi which is located in the drought prone Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra state. The erstwhile barren village has metamorphosed into a unique model of rural development due to its effective water conservation methods, which made the villagers self-sufficient. Earlier, the same village witnessed alcoholism, utter poverty and migration to urban slums. Inspired by Hazare’s unique approach of salvaging a hopeless village, the state government has implemented the `Model Village’ scheme as part of its official strategy. Hazare is now synonymous with rural development in India.

Are You Successful?
An Inspirational Article By Kelly Wissink
Are you successful? What does that word mean to you? Unlimited wealth, "toys" as far as the eye can see, or family gatherings at your cottage on the lake?
Success is a state of mind, and I would like to help you Succeed! Below are some dynamic belief steps to follow.
S – Start believing in yourself and what you do!
Starting=beginning. If you wouldn't have taken the risk and got on your bicycle for the first time, would you have the confidence that you do now as you mount your bike for a ride through town? This belief comes from within and turns your dreams and vision into reality!
U – Understand another's point of view.
You don't know it all, so don't appear to. Put yourself in their shoes and listen. Have empathy.
What does the other person want? What are they feeling? Block out your own feelings and the voice that has a response to their statements and truly "BE" with the one you are talking with. Don't interrupt! Have you ever thought up the perfect response, so witty and smart, that it burst out of your mouth, only to stop the sentence coming out of the other person's mouth. You missed them and possibly the sale or relationship.
Have you ever truly been understood? It is the best feeling in the world. When you put yourself aside to put the other person first, that is true sacrifice and success.
C – Confidence isn't a feeling, it is an action. You need to have it, even when you just don't feel like you can!
C – Collaborate , share your successes, be vulnerable and share your mistakes. Be real! You will become a people magnet. Surround yourself with people you admire. Look for like minded people, people who have what you want, who believe as you believe! Find out how they got to where they are and then do the same. Billionare Ross Perot paid millions to attract the brightest to his company. Be people smart.
E – Exercise your brain and body.
Read, read, read! Readers are leaders. Have you thought about that, it is true. The more you know, the more confident you feel and the more comfortable you feel collaborating with those who have what you want. Sound familiar?
Run, run, run! Keep your body in shape. Make a list of the people you admire, who have what you want? What do they look like? Do they exercise or take care of their outer body as well as their mind and soul?
E- Encourage others! Your friends, family, business partners all deserve to hear praise. Dig deep to find something they are good at or have done well, then say it, write it, sing a song to it, whatever, just acknowledge it to that other person!
D- Determine to be better than who you are and you'll be surprised at who you'll become! Use the bulldog determination like the tortoise and the Hare. Even the snail made it to the ark. Determine not to quit, creatively begin again and again, and again!
How hard are you going to work? How bad do you want it! It isn't that hard, just…
Start believing in yourself.
Understand another's point of view.
Confidence – do it and then feel it!
Collaborate with those who have what you want.
Exercise your mind, body and soul.
Encourage others.
Determine to be better than who you are and you'll be surprised at who you'll become –
Then SUCCEED!

England playing their best Cricket: British Media goes arrogant
Article first published as England Winning: British Media Gets Arrogant on Technorati.
"They need to look interested and show some desire. If you don't want to be here, go home," Tim Bresnan remarked.
A lot was expected from the team India before this test match as the # 1 spot was on stake on the match. But nothing different than the last two test matches has happened in this test match too so far. England have dominated the all three days of play in bowling and then batting as well scoring more than 700. India have lost its first wicket again without scoring as Virender Sehwag again went on zero. No doubt India have been performing poorly in the series so far and England have outplayed them in every field but the question arises here is that does this give anybody the authority to speak and write cheap things about them.
The reason why this has been said is because of the British media writing cheap and irresponsible things about the Indian team and even compared them with the sheepdogs. As if that wasn’t enough for them, the reputed news paper wrote that Indian team is even worse than the dogs and sheepish India have gone to the dogs with torrid field day. \
England former cricketer and captain Michael Vaughan also peeped into the matter and gave his opinion on the performance of Indian Cricket team saying that India have failed to resist against the English Cricketers. Former West Indian cricket Michael Holding also said that even England team would have not enjoyed this series and wouldn’t have thought that the road to being number 1 would be so easy. Many former English cricketers commented that India did not deserve to be the at the top and only look good on paper. Former England captain Nasser Hussain said that tourist India are little better than a county attack.
And one more controversial comment from the current player Ravi Bopara as he said that people should stop worshipping Sachin Tendulkar now. Another objectionable comment was on the Rahul Dravid that says, “Now we know why Rahul Dravid is called The Wall. It’s because balls bounce off him”. Well after having said that he just got out for some score of fewer than ten only. And after targeting VVS Laxman, the British media targeted Virender Sehwag for the serious allegation of ball tampering. If Sehwag really did that then how come 35 cameras on the stadium and the umpires, match referee couldn’t catch that act.
Really after having watched all this on TV and internet, this irresponsible behaviour of the British media and former cricketers is really disappointing and unexpected. England has always been the best place to play cricket and the behaviour of the local audience has been the inspiration for the other countries as well. The audience of England is said to be the audience that really understands the game of cricket and respect all cricketers. But recent incidents will certainly affect the reputation of England among all cricketing nations, India in particular.
Indian team needs to perform better and answer all these arrogance with the way they have been doing so far that is just concentrating on playing good cricket. That’s what you expect in the game what is called as a gentlemen’s game.
Everyone would agree that England are playing their best cricket ever, but they should know one basic etiquette to be humble when on rise. England must not forget that its not so long that England lost to Australia 5-0 and England has not won a test series with India since 1996. So British media should behave more responsibly and avoid such childish things of arrogance.

India vs England 2011:Can India Save its No.1 Rank
The much awaited series between India and England is currently in progress. The series between the top and the third rank team in test matches was always going to be full of excitement and a show of great cricket all-round.
But unfortunately for India, all the good cricket show came from England’s camp and they have eclipsed India in all aspects of the game. After the defeat that India got in the first test match at Lord’s, everybody was accepting the world’s no.1 team to come back solid in the second test and they did prove that they are really different team than they were in Lord’s but only for the first two sessions of the first day. After sending back 8 England batsmen for just 124 India was on top of the things but again they could not hold it tight for much longer and allowed them to go beyond 200 mark. Yet the score was not big and India just had to bat according to their strength but all they managed to get was 288 and that too thanks to Rahul Dravid’s brilliant century. And that was just the beginning, the real show was the second innings of England. Almost everyone came in and hit boundaries all over the ground and put a mountain like 500+ score. And India was in no situation of even thinking of getting close to the 478 run target and they could not even resist for much longer and India has to face the one of the biggest defeat
