Ronaldo is the "perfect" player

Former Deportivo La Coruna goalkeeper Nuno has declared Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo to be the ultimate footballer

While Real Madrid were triumphant in their La Liga campaign, it was Barcelona's Lionel Messi who took the Pichichi award with 50 goals this season. However, Nuno rates Ronaldo as a better player than the Argentinean because he believes his compatriot contributes more to his team's efforts.

"Messi is a great player, but Cristiano is absolutely tremendous. He is the best in the world because he's the most complete player, he is fast, powerful, scores goals, has so much quality and always helps his team out defensively if needed," he said to AS. 

"He is the perfect 10. I have never seen such a perfect football machine."

The former custodian considers Ronaldo to be better than the likes of Pele, Alfredo Di Stefano and Diego Maradona.

"Football has changed a lot, and I doubt that players such as Pele, Di Stefano and Maradona could do what Cristiano does now with that intensity," Nuno stated.

Ronaldo finished second in the Pichichi challenge with 46 goals.

SRK slapped with Wankhede ban

The MCA officials have lodged a police complaint against KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan for his alleged misbehaviour at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday.

"We have lodged a complaint against him at the Marine Drive Police station (for his alleged misbehaviour against MCA officials)," informed Mumbai Cricket Association secretary Nitin Dalal.

The Bollywood star had an altercation with the security and officials of the association after the Knight Riders had swamped Mumbai Indians, according to MCA treasurer Ravi Savant.

"He misbehaved and abused the MCA security personnel as well as MCA officials, including our president Vilasrao Deshmukh, after the IPL match (between KKR and Mumbai Indians). We have decided to ban him for life from entering the stadium in future," said Savant, who alleged that the actor was in a totally inebriated state.

Giving the background to what happened after the KKR’s 32-run rout of MI in the last IPL game of the season at the Wankhede stadium on Wednesday, Savant said that Shah Rukh and his posse of bodyguards had gone up to the teams’ dressing room and then come down and started to step on to the ground.

"The MCA security personnel told them they cannot do so as the match was over which led to Shah Rukh abusing them as well as the MCA officials. There was manhandling too by his people. We have decided to ban him from all future matches at the stadium. We are also going to lodge a police complaint against him," said Savant.

Savant also said that one of the members of the MCA’s managing committee who is also a top police official, Iqbal Sheikh, tried to intervene and pacify the actor but could not do so as he was in no mood to listen to anyone.

Asked whether MCA would lodge a complaint with the BCCI over Shah Rukh’s behaviour, Savant said all the altercation had taken place in the presence of IPL CEO Sundar Raman and BCCI’s media manager Devendra Prabhudesai.

"Of course we will lodge a complaint with the BCCI also," said Savant.

Dalal said the MCA is scheduled to have a managing committee meeting next week and would discuss the scuffle.

'MCA ban on SRK not final yet'

Meanwhile, IPL Chairman Rajiv Shukla said a final decision on the matter would only be taken after getting the version of all the involved parties.

Shukla was guarded in his take on the matter.
"I will take the version of the MCA, Shah Rukh Khan and the police before talking about the issue," he told reporters.

"The decision on a ban is taken by the Working Committee, so I will speak to MCA President Vilasrao Deshmukh on this. I have to take the version of all the parties involved and then speak," Shukla added.

Bollywood's look-alikes

Although Sneha Ullal, who made her debut opposite Salman Khan in Lucky: No Time for Love, keeps insisting that she is not an Aishwarya Rai clone, not many are ready to believe her.
One look at the pictures here and you know why.
What makes the resemblance more interesting is that Sneha was picked to play opposite Salman Khan when he had undergone a nasty breakup with Aishwarya Rai. 




Mumbai model Gunjan Bakshi looks a lot like ex-Miss World and actress Priyanka Chopra.
Gunjan, who has done commercials for well-known brands like Airtel, Nokia, Hide and Seek and Dabur, says it's amusing when people mistake her for Priyanka.
"Once I was having dinner with my cousin and a small kid walked up to me asking me for an autograph. I wondered why. While I was signing it for him, he was like 'I really liked you in Krrish.' That's when I realised he had mistaken me for Priyanka," she said in an interview.
But will Gunjan continue to acknowledge the similarity once she enters Bollywood? 




You would be forgiven for thinking that Bollywood bomsbhell Rakhi Sawant and Lebanese singer Haifa Wehbe are sisters separated at the Kumbh Mela.
And that's not where the similarity between the two glam girls ends. Both are outrageous in their own way. Both admit having gone under the knife at different points of time to enhance their assets.
Incidentally, both of them also earned fame when they first appeared on television and stage shows in barely-there outfits. 




Sometime back Bipasha Basu also took on her double - calling Needhi Gill a C-grade actress.
Gill later sent a legal notice to the actress claiming that Bipasha - The Black Beauty, the film in which she had played the lead, was in no way connected to Bipasha's life.




Their names start with the same letter, they both hail from a family of film professionals, they both are actors, they both are good dancers and they both look the same.
Even before Love Story 2050's release, Harman was tried his best to play down comparisons with Hrithik Roshan. "I am taking baby steps into the industry and am being compared to somebody who is a well established superstar. It is like asking for too much. The expectations are taxing for a newcomer like me", he told the media.
Love Story 2050 bombed at the box office, and so did Victory and What's Your Raashee?, and clearly just looking like Hrithik will not be Harman's passport to success. 



Aamir Khan and Tom Hanks - two men bound together by much more than just their insanely good looks.
Both are also brilliant actors known for their commitment to great cinema.
What's more, Aamir has even expressed a desire to remake Forrest Gump, the movie that got Tom Hanks an Oscar. 




Edgar Ramirez Arellano is a Venezuelan actor, whose claim to fame was a successful soap opera Cosita Rica.
In 2005, he made his major motion picture debut playing Choco, Domino Harvey's love interest in the film Domino directed by Tony Scott.
09 Is actress Hrishita Bhatt really an Alyssa Milano clone?
You decide! 


No one can doubt the petite Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi star Anoushka Sharma's resemblance to the famous Pakistani singer Nazia Hassan.
Nazia had shot to fame with the song Disco Deewane in the early 80s, she died of lung cancer at the age of 35.
Though Anoushka has just started her stint in Bollywood, we hope she too becomes as popular as her look-alike.

The World's First Photograph

One summer day in France in 1826, Joseph Niepce took the world's first photograph. It's a photo of some farm buildings and the sky. It took an exposure time of 8 hours. Voila! It had to feel pretty incredible, like magic.

No one's exactly sure how he did this or what chemicals were used. All that's known for sure is that the photo is on an 8"x 6.5" pewter plate. It's so faint it has to be tilted in order for the light to catch it just right, to see it.

The Getty Museum in California did two weeks of tests in 2003 in a joint project involving the Rochester Institute of Technology and France's Centre de Recherches sur la Conservation des Documents Graphiques (try saying that three times fast). Then it went back on display at the University of Texas in a new air tight case, where it's been on display since 1964. I'm not sure why we have it and the French don't, but "hah".

The current theory about how the photograph was taken is that Niepce coated the pewter plate with bitumen, a petroleum derivative sensitive to light. After it spent those 8 hours hardening, he washed the plate with a mixture of oil of lavender and white petroleum. This dissolved the portions of the bitumen that didn't 'see' direct light, so didn't harden. Pretty damn clever. Niepce called his work a "heliograph," in a tribute to the power of the sun.

Believe it or not,,, This photograph is of a train interior in Japan

With the results looking nicer than most nurseries, the Japanese have taken the idea of ‘child-friendly public transport’ to the next level with these 2 beauties, both designed by Eiji Mitooka. He was the artistic force behind ‘omoden’ (toy train) and ‘ichigo ec’ (strawberry train), a couple of regional trains which travel on a daily basis on the 14.3km Kishigawa line in Japan.
These trains contain hundreds of toys, TV screens showing cartoons, immaculately clean wooden flooring and cots for younger children.

Postcard Delivered After 94 Years

A First World War postcard has finally been delivered - 94 years after it was sent (delivered on 02-Sep-2010).
Soldier Alfred Arthur, 19, sent the card to his sister Ellen, known as Nell, in January 1916 at the height of the Great War.
Tragically the hero was killed in the brutal fighting which killed millions from all sides in the blood-soaked trenches on the Western Front in France.
Alfred's card poignantly ended up with Lauren Bleach, 61, and her partner Jill Liversidge more than nine decades on.
They decided to find out where it had come from after it arrived at their home in Lakenham, Norwich.
Mrs Bleach said: 'When we read it we were so emotionally taken because it's from a soldier who was obviously at a training camp waiting to go away to his sister.
'He lived in this street presumably all that time ago and it's only just arrived.
'The postcard is dated 1916 and bears a cartoon picture of a newly-recruited soldier on the front.
Thoughtful Alfred has written to his beloved sister: 'Dear Nell, Just a postcard to let you know I have not forgotten you.
'On the other side you will see our orders for next week. I will need your pity. Drop me a line, your brother Alfred.'
The front of the card, referred to in Alfred's note, displays a poster which says 'Orders of the day: Eight hours drill, eight hours route march, eight hours trenching' and the recruit saying 'And then we have the rest of the day to ourselves!'
Alfred was born in Lakenham and went to school nearby a century ago.One of his descendants is his great-nephew Brian Buxton, 68, of Salhouse, Norfolk.

WAVE ROCK At Hyden, Australia

This interesting natural rock is called Wave Rock and located to the east of the town of Hyden in Western Australia. It got its name from the fact that it is shaped like a tall breaking ocean wave. The rock formation is composed of granite and the total outcrop covers several hectares. The rock is about 15 meters high and approximately 110 meters long.

Sinkhole in Guatemala

Heavy rains from tropical storm Agatha likely triggered the collapse of a huge sinkhole in Guatemala.
The Guatemala sinkhole fits into a broader use of the term, which refers to any sudden slump of the ground’s surface. Instead of solid bedrock, much of Guatemala City rests atop a layer of loose, gravelly volcanic pumice that is hundreds of feet thick. And at least one geologist says leaking pipes—not nature—created the recent sinkhole.

Floating Boat Bridge

Commuters cross the Buriganga River on a floating boat bridge in Dhaka, Bangladesh. When rampant-growing water hyacinth prevented boats from moving freely on the river, a group of boatmen came up with a bright idea. They made this floating bridge by connecting 34 wooden dinghies together and are charging a small fee to cross.

Fly Geyser

When you first see this stunning geyser you don't believe it's real. But it is. This geyser is called Fly Geyser and it's located approximately 20 miles (32 km) north of Gerlach, in Washoe County, Nevada. 

Fly Geyser is located on the private Fly Ranch owned by Todd Jaksick and is accessible only by a small private dirt road. The owner wanted to keep the people away from the geyser so he placed a high fence and a locked gate with several metal spokes on the top to keep trespassers out. Several organizations have tried to purchase the land for conservation, and make it open to the public, but have been denied.

Amir Khan's plans to retire

'By 28 I'll have done everything I want in boxing': Amir Khan's plans to retire in three years

Amir Khan has revealed his plans to retire from boxing at the age of 28.

That means the two-time world champion will be hanging up his gloves in just three years.

The 25-year-old showed his softer side in a new photoshoot for Esquire magazine, looking dapper in  a series of poses.

Hanging up his gloves: Amir Khan has revealed he will be retiring from boxing in three years, at the age of 28

The newly-engaged boxer spoke about his thirst to become world champion again.

'I’m not even at my peak yet. I’m already a two-time world champion, winning it again is not a problem.'

But he added: 'By 28 I’ll have done everything I want in boxing and I can sit back, chill and get fat.'

In love: The 25-year-old has just become engaged to 20-year-old New York student Faryal Makhdoom last month




But despite being a tough boxer, Amir admitted he was scared of bugs.

He said: 'I don’t like spiders. If I see one in my bedroom I have to call my whole family and , even when they do take it out, I won’t sleep in that room for a couple of days or I’ll sleep at my parents.'

The boxer became engaged to 20-year-old New York student Faryal Makhdoom last month.

The couple made it official by exchanging rings in front of 1,000 of their nearest and dearest at a lavish engagement party.

They celebrated with a £150,000 bash at the Bolton Wanderers' Reebok Stadium.

Friends including Ricky Hatton watched as Amir presented his wife-to-be with a £100,000 platinum ring encrusted with three staggering diamonds.

In return, beautiful Faryal gave her beau with an equally bling platinum ring.

Despite his sporting success, Amir told Esquire he wouldn't want his children taking up the sport.

'They can train, but I wouldn’t want them to go into a fight. I don’t know how my parents do it and, actually, my mum can’t do it anymore. My kids can be football players instead.'

Two Types of Oceans that Do not Mix up

This is the place where two oceans meet... but do not mix! 
INCREDIBLE AND SIMPLY MIND-BLOWING!!!

These two bodies of water were merging in the middle of The Gulf of Alaska and there was a foam developing only at their junction. It is a result of the melting glaciers being composed of fresh water and the ocean has a higher percentage of salt causing the two bodies of water to have different densities and therefore makes it more difficult to mix.

Saif Ali Khan in trouble for assaulting South African

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was in trouble Wednesday after a South African businessman accused him of abusing and hitting him and his father-in-law at a five-star hotel here.

Police, who failed to trace Saif at his Bandra house Wednesday afternoon, later found him at his actress-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor’s residence, a police officer said.

Police said a case of assault had been registered against the Bollywood actor at the Colaba police station.

Despite speculation that Saif would be brought to the police station, nothing happened for hours. Meanwhile, army of reporters assembled outside the police station and some even parked themselves outside Saif’s residence.

The victim, Iqbal Sharma, who is of Indian origin, told TimesNow television that Saif called him an “idiot” for complaining about the actor’s loud conduct at a restaurant in the Taj Mahal Hotel.

Sharma said he and his family had requested the restaurant manager to ask Saif and his friends, which included Kareena, Amrita Arora and Malaika Arora Khan, to keep their voices down.

Sharma said he and his family decided to move to another part of the restaurant downstairs.

“As we were going down the stairs, Saif was coming up, probably from the toilet. As he passed me, he called me an idiot and asked ‘Do you know who I am?’”

Sharma said the actor first pushed him and then assaulted his father-in-law who fell on the stairs and bruised his jaw.

“It was an uncivilized way to behave in a public space,” Sharma said, adding that he intended to pursue the matter legally.

A police officer confirmed that Sharma and his guests had objected to the noise created by Saif and his friends.

The incident occurred shortly after midnight Tuesday.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Iqbal Shaikh declined to say if the actor would be arrested.

Saif has been involved in public spats earlier too, including some photojournalists in Patiala in September 2008.

The actor has won the Padma Shri award, which did not go down well with the Bishnoi community in Rajasthan as he is accused of killing a blackbuck — an animal the Bishnois hold sacred. Saif was charged with poaching as the blackbuck is on the endangered list.

Scientists have built the smallest petrol engine, tiny enough to power a watch. The mini-motor, which runs for two years on a single squirt of lighter fuel, is set to revolutionize world technology. It produces 700 times more energy than a conventional battery despite being less than a centimeter long not even half an inch. It could be used to operate laptops and mobile phones for months doing away with the need for recharging. Experts believe it could be phasing out batteries in such items within just six years. The engine, minute enough to be balanced on a fingertip, has been produced by engineers at the University of Birmingham.
