Is Michael Jackson dying of a lung infection?

2008-12-22T12:42:00.011+05:30

Sources are concerned about some pictures of the pop star that recently surfaced.

Jackson was seen wearing a hospital mask and being pushed in a wheechair. It's reported that the former pop star is financially drained, which has resulted in the demise of his health. Sources say he is depressed and it's affecting him physically.

“There are constant rumours of a Michael Jackson comeback but it was shocking to see that in reality he is a shadow of his former self.

“He seemed too weak even to get out of the chair to cross the road himself. He stayed in the store for two hours and wheeled himself around in the chair the whole time.

“The skin on his hands was peeling, almost like a snake’s. He kept his mask on all the time. His security man was at his side and nobody approached him. It is really sad.”

Jackson turns 50 in August but has the appearance of someone much older. He is fraile and gaunt. “He has days when he is fine but others when he feels listless and too weak to walk. Then he calls for the wheelchair.

“Usually on those days he also refuses to get dressed, spending all day in his pyjamas.”

“Jacko is struggling for money and needs to work. “There’s huge interest in a comeback, but there are doubts that Jacko can pull it off. He isn’t strong enough — mentally or physically.”

Inputs from 'The Insider'.

Adding some recent photos of the pop star Michael Jackson.

Masked! Happy yet ?

Masking life?

What a fate!

Journalist throws shoes at Bush in Baghdad with a message "Get Back What You Give"

Journalist throws shoes at Bush in Baghdad

A man identified as an journalist threw shoes at - but missed - President Bush during a news conference Sunday evening in Baghdad, where Bush was making a farewell visit. President Bush, left, ducks a thrown shoe as Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki tries to protect him Sunday. Watch video!

1 of 3 Bush ducked, and the shoes, flung one at a time, sailed past his head during the news conference with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in his palace in the heavily fortified Green Zone.

Mohanlal to become a Lt Colonel : Rediff reports

2008-12-15T14:23:00.004+05:30

This title does not belong to a forthcoming film nor is it a figment of imagination. It is a fact. In a month, the nation will confer 48-year-old Malayalam actor, Mohanlal, with the honorary title of Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army.

Mohanlal will be the first actor in the country to get such a prestigious title from the army. The only other celebrity to get this title is former cricket captain Kapil Dev.

It is learnt that the chief of army recommended Mohanlal's name to the Defence Ministry. An official MoD communique is expected in a month.

"The proposal has been forwarded. A decision will be taken soon. I cannot reveal the details now," an officer in the Territorial Army said, seeking anonymity.

Mohanlal, shooting for a film in the remote areas of Ooty, remained unavailable for comments.
It is perhaps the two army roles that he donned -- in Keerthichakra and Kurukshetra -- that led to this new development. Keerthichakra depicted the army's anti-militancy operations in Jammu and Kashmir, while Kurukshetra dealt with the Kargil war.

"It will be a great honour. It is also heartening to know that I -- my films -- have been instrumental in Lal getting the honour," says Major Ravi, who directed both the films. The director will soon start work on a film on the Kandahar hijack, featuring Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan.

The Territorial Army is a voluntary part-time civilian force that plays a key role in the defence of the country. It provides an opportunity to civilians to receive military training and also provides the country with a reserve force that can assist the regular army during operations, whenever required. However, it remains a honorary post.

Bye Bye Blackberry, Says US President-Elect Barack Obama

2008-11-18T16:25:00.004+05:30

President-elect Barack Obama will have to give up the BlackBerry that he's had literally by his side (clipped to his belt, a surprising fashion faux pas by the normally quite fashionable candidate). Because of security concerns, the chief executive is not allowed to send emails. President George W. Bush has gone without email for eight years, and was reported to be looking forward to sending them again a few months ago. Obama does plan to bring a laptop to the Oval Office, and there's some talk of setting up a read-only email account. How would you cope with living without email?

iPod creator says goodbye to Apple

2008-11-06T11:59:00.001+05:30

The man behind one of the world's most popular digital music players is bidding farewell...
Tony Fadell, referred to as 'father of the iPod', is leaving Apple. One of the world's fastest selling digital music players, the iPod turned around the company's fortunes.
Seven years ago, it was Tony Fadell who led a team of designers and engineers to introduce the iPod. It was his idea to club a Napster-like music store with a hard drive-based MP3 player. Sleek and stylish, the product soon became one of the most hottest selling products from Apple. For the ambitious Fadell, it has been an incredible journey.
He has now chosen to spend more time with his family.
Apple has announced that the iPod division vice president Tony Fadell and his wife, Danielle Lambert, who is vice president of the company's human resources department, are leaving to spend more with their family.
Fadell, will however remain as an adviser to CEO Steve Jobs.

Yuvraj Singh smashed English fast bowler Stuart Broad for six sixes in an over as India won by 18 runs to stay alive in the Twenty20 world championships on Wednesday.

India, who would have crashed out of the tournament had they lost, piled up 218-4 after electing to take first strike and then restricted England to 200-6 on a rousing night at the jam-packed Kingsmead.

My Sunshine Car !

It's all you've ever wanted in a small car. The pleasantly curved Atos Prime is one of the cutest cars on the road. Santro Xing is the small car King.

Hyundai Santro Vs Maruti wagonR

Maruti has a bigger service network and the cost of spares it cheaper.

Both cars are tall boy model and have high seating. This add to driving/seating comfort and makes it easy for people to get in and get out.

Here is the comparison.

Santro Pros:

Better Looks (as compared to Wagon-R).
More comfortable to Drive.
Better Service.
Better Pickup.
Provision for 4 speakers, Wagon-R has provision for only 2.
Perceived to be more expensive.
Air conditioning more effective hence cooling is better.
Ability to adjust the side view mirrors from inside.
Seat belts for 5 passengers, Wagon-R has only 4. Santro is also approved for 5 people and Wagon-R has got approval for only 4 passengers. Not that anyone ever checks but still.

Wagon-R Pros:

Better resale value.
Cheaper cost of spares.
Bigger service network than Hyundai.
Slightly more fuel efficient. Although now Santro has new eRLX engine which is suppose to have improved mileage.
Better Engine and electronic power steering.
Cheaper.
Option for Airbags (only available in the top of the line model).
Slightly more leg space and better comfort for tall people.
The seats can be dropped completed to create a bed or even a double bed. Useful while traveling and someone can sleep.

I also suggest that irrespective of which car you decide to buy, don’t compromise on safety. Pay that extra for ABS and Airbags (only in Wagon-R).

More to come .. Thanks Prakash :)
