“Exactly a week left to shoot Fitness DVDs of mine! Rehearsals and preparation is on full swing! Really fun yet challenging routines this time,” Bipasha tweeted.

The 33-year-old, who was last seen in Jodi Breakers, launched her first DVD, titled BB-Love Yourself, in 2010. In order to make her venture more interactive and to connect with her target audiences, she tweeted on her account and asked her fans to suggest suitable names for the new collection. She was overwhlemed by the response but she is yet to finalise the name.

Now, she has asked her fans to recommend fittest actor and sportsman, saying: “Today, I would need you all to send me who you think are the fittest reigning actors, actresses and sports people who are inspirational to you! Guys Indian actors n sporting personalities only.”

According to trade pundit’s the show has already been slammed for not gathering enough TRPs as compared to the other celeb shows, the show still has managed to trend online and has become a talking point.

The obvious comparisons on the first week was that of Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate being similar to the Oprah Winfrey Show, which also spoke about people, social issues and had icon the show. But, with three weeks into the show, Aamir’s way of tackling issues seems to be a better tool than Oprah’s.

According to surveys conducted online by various agencies, the comparison between the two shows comes from the basic show format. However, three major differences were pointed out by viewer opinion polls and they are:
a) While Oprah’s sensitive issue-tackling worked, it mainly enjoyed viewership of homemakers and women. Aamir, on the other hand, has generated interest within most sections of the society.

b) While Oprah’s show discussed victims and their trials, Aamir’s show is trying to be a catalyst. With the final segment allowing viewers to send an SMS to bring about reforms brings in an interactive element with the victim.

c) Celebrities are not a focus on Aamir’s show. Maybe, the fact that the actor himself is a big brand has worked, but the show doesn’t require celebrity endorsements. Oprah’s show had celebrity guests talking about their personal lives, making it border on the lines of a chat show.

Once you start gaining weight, it depends on you if you really want to track the pattern on what led to your weight gain. There are many cues of gaining weight, right from the pill you’re popping on regular basis, to the lightning in a restaurant to replacing fats with carbs. Do these habits sound familiar?

Usually people go on diets to lose the extra flab and do not realise the consequences of doing so without thinking, For a few days you tend to give up on fats completely, only to replace them with carbs.
In order to lower the amount of fat we eat, we tend to replace fatty foods with carb varieties, such as white breads, rice and white pastas.

Simple carbs tend to stimulate your body to produce insulin, which can further lead to weight gain. The best solution is to stick to healthy carbs and fats. Go for grains, healthy fruits and vegetables for healthy carbs, and avocado, nuts and fish for monosaturated fats.

Popping medicines every now and then. It might sound shocking to you, but popping a pill here and a pain-reliever there can be the biggest hidden reason why you’re gaining weight this summer.

Sometimes even prescription drugs like anti-depressants can lead to weight gain. The different types of antidepressants that lead to weight gain are trycyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Many people believe that migraine medicines can contribute to weight gain as well. Diabinese, Insulase (chlorpropamide) drug, used in diabetes can lead to either weight gain or weight loss depending upon the individual. It is, therefore, essential to take all these drugs under the supervision of a medical professional and follow a proper diet and exercise regimen.

When you are out enjoying a night out with your friends or enjoying a quiet evening with your partner/spouse, at occasions like these it is very easy to overeat. According to a study published in the Department of Psychology, Georgia State University, Atlanta, people who eat when the music is fast and loud tend to eat much more and chew their food hurriedly. Same is the case, when you eat at home with the TV on.

Self awareness is the key here, which will help you combat your act of overeating by keeping a tab on the amount of calories you consume. On the other hand, colour therapists believe that warm colours (like red, orange and yellow), mostly used in fast food joints, tend to encourage people to eat more.

Apart from this, dim lights in restaurants make us eat more as one can’t judge the quantity of food easily. The best solution is to avoid going to such places and be clear in your head about the amount of calories you would want to indulge in by way of clever portion control.

Drinking too much of cold beer is directly linked to weight gain. The truth is that light beer has only 90 to 100 calories and regular beer generally has less than 200 calories, but this is no license to drink too much.

Also, you tend to exercise less in the summer months. You must continue exercising in order to avoid facing weight gain in the hot summer months. Within four weeks of detraining muscles lose, their firmness and toning. This means that once the heat lessens, and you feel like getting back to exercise, you will need to begin from scratch all over again.

Munich launched thirty-five shots at them, not counting the penalty kick tiebreakers. They earned twenty corner kicks. Chelsea had one corner, and they scored off of it. That’s the game in a nutshell: wasteful Bayern were edged out by an efficient Chelsea side.

Chelsea was an underestimated team in this match as well as all through the series and despite a series of games that showed Chelsea can play blunt soccer, the kind that wearies and frustrates opponents while softening them up for the counter-strike. Experts said that Bayern was overconfident about the game and it showed in their strategies and silly slip-ups that cost them the match. According to sources, fans of Bayern Munich were celebrating even before the start of the match predicting an easy win over a makeshift Chelsea side missing so many key players.

Few will remember this game as a masterpiece of grace and style. The key moments came from the brilliant Cech and the big game hero Drogba. Robben took a dreadful penalty kick after Drogba felled Ribery in extra time and Cech got down well to save it. He also would save a penalty in the tiebreaker and had made a series of critical stops.

Drogba’s header to bring the game level, and give Chelsea the chance they needed to win was majestic, proof that he remains the one man who can change a game in a sport notoriously inhospitable to lone guns. This may well be his last game in a blue uniform, and if it is, his point has been made: he carried this team on his back to this final, and he delivered the trophy by sinking the final penalty kick from the spot.

The Regulations on Graduate Medical Education, 2012 released by the MCI allot nearly 4% of the total teaching hours in the first two years of MBBS to sports and extracurricular activities including yoga.
The Authorities feel that in this way, the medical students will be able to unwind and take a breather from their over burdening study schedules and if the sports and yoga are made part of the curriculum then the students will have no reason to skip them.
“Our medicos will no longer be dull students. They will be able to unwind on the playground. We will teach students how they can stay healthy and fit by practising yoga and participating in sports,” said a senior member of MCI.
At the MCI’s national summit in September 2011, vice-chancellors from medical universities from across the country were informed that certain alterations would be made to the MBBS course with a focus on students. The MCI made it mandatory for students to undergo a two-month foundation course, which will include yoga and sports, at the beginning of the academic year. Though most medical colleges have cultural programmes and sports, the MCI has now made sports part of the academic curriculum. Under the new regulations, 78 of the total of 1,880 academic hours in the first two years will be allotted to sports, extracurricular activities and yoga.

According to senior doctors and lecturers, outside activities were never a priority for medical students as their timings and strenuous working hours would leave no time for voluntary physical activities. Madras Medical College dean Dr V Kanakasabai said, “Physical education was neither a priority nor was it mandatory for medical students.”

Sports experts say they expect medical colleges to take physical education more serious than schools. “Most medical colleges have huge playgrounds that conform to national standards. If professionals are appointed as trainers, they can help students stay fit,” said Dr Madhu Thottappillil, consultant to BCCI.

Medicos will be taught about national health priorities and policies, universal vaccinations, ethics, patient safety including cost of treatment, healthcare financing, language and interpersonal skills and use of information technology in healthcare services.

A little over a month after Congress president Sonia Gandhi came to the state to woo the politically influential lingayat community, whose support to the BJP brought it to power, her son and party general secretary Rahul Gandhi will be here June 1 on a two-day visit.

Even though the BJP senior leaders are expected to make state-visits but the reason for it will be totally different than that of Congress. If sources are to be believed, the BJP camp is looking forward to high-profile visits but only to douse the raging fire in the state unit where its scam-hit former chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa is making frantic efforts to unseat his successor D.V. Sadananda Gowda.

BJP general secretary in charge of Karnataka affairs Dharmendra Pradhan was in Bangalore late Friday and Saturday for a patch-up bid. Arun Jaitley, senior BJP leader was also to fly in for the truce-meeting but he cancelled his visit.

While the immediate threat to the survival of Gowda, who took over from Yeddyurappa last August, has been averted, the government remains shaky and there is a distinct possibility of early elections to the 225-member assembly.

On the other hand, Rahul Gandhi will be trying to pep up state Congress leaders to go all out to regain the power the party lost in 2004 – though it headed a coalition with Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) for about 20 months in 2004-2006.

This will be Rahul Gandhi’s first visit to the state in almost two years. He will address the Youth Congress national executive at Hubli, about 400 km north of Bangalore, June 1.

Given the animosity among rival factions in the state unit, the BJP national leadership can at best achieve fragile truce with early elections emerging as the best way out to end the mess in the state.

“The total service tax dues of Air India are Rs 395 crore. We will recover interest at the rate of 15 per cent. Once the capital infusion happens, the company will repay the dues,” official sources said.

Taking into account the 15 per cent interest, the total tax dues of the company will come to around Rs 454 crore. The Central Government last month approved a financial restructuring plan for Air India with an Rs 30,000 crore equity infusion over a nine-year period. The airline intends to clear the dues as soon as the government releases funds to it, the sources said.

Last December, the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) had frozen 11 bank accounts of Air India and 10 of Kingfisher Airlines for allegedly defaulting on service tax payments, despite collecting the same from passengers. The matter was settled after payment of part dues and hectic negotiations.

According to government officials, the total arrears pending from Kingfisher is Rs 50 crore. The company has paid arrears between Rs 15-20 crore each in the months of March, April and May. Non-payment of service tax dues is a serious offence as it amounts to diversion of public money or tax revenue already recovered by the airline from the passengers or other parties for depositing with the government.

Airlines collect service tax on every ticket they sell. So, the money comes from the passenger and airlines are expected to submit it to the government in a time-bound manner and not keep it in their accounts, the officials said.

On the other hand, as the strike by the Air India officials enters into its 13th day today, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh has appealed to the pilots and other officials that they should consider the current situation of the airline and understand how competition intensive the market is right now.

Singh, who is meeting leaders of 13 recognised Air India unions tomorrow, said, “It is more for familiarisation to get to know them. Unions have a very important role to play not only about their demands but they should also look at the whole picture and health of their organisation”.
The minister’s appeal to striking pilots of the Indian Pilots Guild (IPG) to return to work has gone unheeded. The protestors want sack orders against 71 pilots to be withdrawn and issues relating to career progression addressed immediately.

“The government has given money to Air India and fixed a lot of check points and performance standards. They will have to understand what life is about in an era of competition,” Singh told the Press Trust of India today morning on being asked whether any solution is being worked out to end the deadlock.

The 28-year-old billionaire’s wedding took place a day after Facebook’s initial public offering on the NASDAQ stock exchange on Friday. More than 2,80,000 people “liked” Zuckerberg’s status change, which was accompanied by a photo of the smiling couple in wedding attire in a small, verdant outdoor setting with a string of lights behind them.

The photo which was released by Facebook to the international and local presses, had Zuckerberg wearing a dark suit and a tie, thus abandoning his trademark hoodie and jeans. His new bride was dressed in a sleeveless white dress with lace overlay.

According to the information revealed by official sources, the pair wed in an intimate backyard ceremony in Palo Alto, California. The couple had planned the exchange of vows for four months, but surprised their guests, who thought they were to celebrate Chan’s recent graduation from medical school.

Zuckerberg’s sister, Arielle Zuckerberg, posted, “Now I’m the only unmarried Zuckerberg…” on her Facebook page. She is listed by Chan as a family member on the site.

Zuckerberg designed a simple ruby wedding ring for Chan, himself. Guests dined on food from the couple’s favorite restaurants and nibbled on mouse-shaped chocolates that the pair ate on their first date nine years ago.

Zuckerberg, whose shares are worth nearly $20 billion and who retains voting control of Facebook, marked the debut of his company’s stock at Facebook’s Silicon Valley campus on Friday, symbolically ringing the opening bell for stock trading.

The IPO did not go as well as the social networking company had hoped, with shares closing just above the offering price of $38 a share after trading glitches and a last-minute, 25 percent increase in the number of shares being sold.

Neither Zuckerberg nor Chan commented further about their marriage on their Facebook pages, and
The couple adopted a Hungarian sheepdog named Beast a year ago and live together in Palo Alto.

The police have, however, arrested the organiser of the party, Vijay Handa, under the Narcotic Drug and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The raid was conducted at the famous Oak Woods Hotel in Juhu, where the rave party was being held. Among the 100 people detained two IPL players – Rahul Sharma and Wayne Parnell of Pune Warriors – were also detained on charges of consuming banned drugs.
When Rahul Sharma gave his statement to the press after being released today morning he said, that he was at the hotel but at a different party. “I went for a birthday party at Oak Woods Hotel in Juhu. I had just reached there but nobody was present.”

Defending her son, Sharma’s mother very staunchly told the presses that her son has done no wrong. “My son is fine; he went for a birthday party. How would he know whether people are going to take drugs over there or there is going to be a police raid? My son is fine, there is no problem. He has done no wrong,” she said.

As like the others detained at the party, the two players also underwent medical tests. The medical report is critical in the case, and the police will slap charges on people based on it.

Actor Himanshi Choudhary, was also present at the party, but she too says she had no idea about the drugs or it being a rave party. She defended herself through Twitter and updating her status messages to keep her followers informed.
Tweet 1: “Wasn’t a Rave. It was just a party. All in hospital for blood test now.”

Tweet 2: “This wud not have been blown outta proportion. I heard the figures on drugs procured, seems bizarre. Will only know after da results of test.”

Actor Apoorva Agnihotri was also amongst those present at the party. He was also subjected to medical test. Additional Commissioner of Police Vishwas Nagre Patil said that 58 boys and 38 girls were taken to Cooper hospital for a blood and urine test.

“The stuff was being disposed after consumption, so we are going to find out who the peddlers were and who organised the party. All details will be given only after complete investigation,” he said. The police had seized 110 grams of cocaine and drugs like Ecstasy from the spot and the source of the drug is being investigated. Police are recording the statements of all those present and taking down their contact details. They are also bring asked how they received invites to the party. The drugs seized have been sent for analysis to the forensic science laboratory at Kalina.

She fondly recollects the day when her mother told her that they could be best friends. Since then, she has always felt free to reveal her deepest secrets to her mother without worrying about being judged. Right from the day when she used to put her mom’s name first on the birthday party list, she has been able to enjoy the most with her mother. She has been able to confide in her mom who has always stood by her and shown her the right path.

Isha Ambani also considers her mom to be her source of inspiration. Teasing her mom for being obsessed about her and the family, she mentions how her mom always takes out time for family irrespective of her busy schedule. Apart from being an amazing mother, she loves her mom for the unbelievable strength and energy that she portrays. She admires the way her mother pulls off all her responsibilities remarkably.

Expressing her unconditional love for her mother, she mentions how she could not agree less when someone told her that mothers were created, as God could not individually take care of everybody.

She also mentions how they love to catch up with each other and indulge in never- ending conversations. The mother- daughter duo love shopping together as both of them are dependent on each other during decision-making. She also considers her mother to be her soul mate for the way she knows and understands her profoundly.

Isha Ambani is the eldest kid, born a second before Akash Ambani. She is a student of psychology and Asian study from Yale University. She is an amazing painter and a firm believer of women’s power.

Like Mother, Like Daughter.
