All Work And No Play Makes Ranbir A Dull Boy

Ranbir’s pranks with his co-stars are getting overboard. Its time he learns to draw his line and keep his practical jokes to a level that is enjoyable by all involved. Recently for a shot where his co-stars had to drink, he replaced the glass of water with vodka and these stars were shocked. Ayan Mukherji did not see the funny side of it and was truly annoyed, sources said. Later on matters worsened when Ranbir applied turmeric paste all over the heroine’s face where he was to just dab the paste on her face. Kalki, the heroine developed rashes and the shooting was put off for three days.

Is it because of this that Ayan gets Ranbir to do all that he hates to do? Ranbir’s  fear of heights and water is well known and he does not know swimming either. In Yeh Jawani  He Diwani Ranbir and his pair Deepika were to shoot on top of a cliffs and buildings. He was also made to jump into the sea for the same film. Are the practical jokes on Ranbir for a change? Ayan seems to have said he gets a kick by making Ranbir do things he hates to do. And the film is also eagerly awaited as it is the first film after the Ranbir and Deepika break up. Will we get to see the chemistry between the two on screen as before – something to wait and watch?

Indian Premier League is fashioned after the European league matches in football. Whoever thought of it has definitely hit the goldmine which has proved good for the game of cricket, the owners of the teams, the organizers and the sponsors. The concept of bringing the shorter version of cricket has always met with flak. From the 5 day test match when the 50 overs match was introduced all cried that it was the end of the game. It was proved wrong as more people liked the shorter version. The same was the reaction for the T20 version and once again it has been proved wrong as the game has a better reach and is more exciting.

IPL has adopted this T20 version of cricket for its matches. As the word suggests only 20 overs are bowled by each side and the result is seen within three hours. What is different from the regular T20 matches and the IPL is the show biz associated with it. The main attraction or the difference is that they are league matches and not games played against teams from countries. So each team has players from many countries. The owners bid for the players and they can bid for any number of players. But only four foreign players are allowed to play on the field, the rest is comprised of Indian players.

IPL is cricketainment as there is heavy dose of entertainment added to the game. There are the cheer leaders, music and exciting tit bits during the breaks. Some of the owners are film stars and each team has an ambassador from the film fraternity. On the whole there is glamour and entertainment added to this form of cricket. There is branding of products in this game and it’s a business game as well. It has given a big boost to tourism as well. The clothes are flashy and the colors chosen symbolize certain qualities.

The rules of a test match and a 20 overs match are more or less the same. Declaring a ball ‘wide‘ is something very specific to one day game and the T20 version. A ‘no ball’ – error from the bowler results in a free hit which is not seen in a test match. A free hit is where the batsman can hit the ball anyway and even if caught or bowled will not be declared out. There are no ‘power plays’ which are associated with 50 overs match. Another unique feature of this game is the ‘strategic time-out’ which happens two times in one innings and each lasts for 2 ½ minutes. The dress code and the ball used are different from the test matches.

World class players are seen in all the teams and the new and young players of the Indian team get to see and learn from these legends. Mumbai Indians this time has Sachin Tendulkar from India and Ricky Ponting from Australia playing in the same team and such an exposure is a life time experience for young players. Other legends who have played this form of game are Shane Warne, Glenn Mcgrath and Jacques Kallis, the list goes on. For the Indian players it is seen as unparalleled opportunities as more and more players from the non metro cities are making it big. They become famous instantly and they get to see first class cricket very close.

Things, over a period of time, have changed considerably. While people were expected to be conservative in the past, they have now transformed into being more experimental. They are willing to try new things and ideas without any compunction. That has been the case with wallets too. Black was one of the most popular colours till the recent past. People used to flaunt their black leather wallets and take immense pride in the same. However, their penchant for experimentation has got them to try newer colours, patterns and material. We bumped into this reality only recently when we saw a young individual proudly flaunting his light brown bad mother fucker wallet. Who wouldn't know about the 'Bad Mother Fucker' brand, and if that brand has shown willingness to experiment with colours, there has to be some reality in the stories of a changing trend. Before we move ahead, let us tell you that the light brown BMF wallet, we spotted, was actually looking good. In fact, it was catching all the attraction because of the uniqueness of its colour.

Now that you are willing to experiment with different colours, we thought of telling you of how a colour could speak about your personality. Each colour, over and above having its appeal, has a meaning associated with it too. That meaning gets associated with your personality when you make it a part of your overall outfit. Since this concept struck our mind with a light brown BMF wallet, we will attempt to give you an introduction to the personality traits of the colour brown. As you would expect, these traits would be used by other people to judge you.

Following is a brief account of the personality traits that brown represents:

Honesty: If you are one of those people who believe in being transparent and honest in all your transactions, brown can just be the right colour.

Down to Earth: Being the earth's colour, it does tell the world about your feet being firmly rooted on the ground. However, if you are young and want to have an air of arrogance surround you, this colour wouldn't be suitable.

This week has been a busy one, and for me accompanied by a nasty cold and lots of herbal tea at meetings to keep me talking!  Anyway, the show must go on, as they say in entertainment, and this week I shall be reviewing Olympus Has Fallen starring Gerard Butler  Yet another action movie, but they are churning out some pretty good ones lately, so I'm looking forward to seeing it.  I'm also producing a film of my own this year; it's set in Mexico and I'll be posting news here when it goes into production.

That's it for now... stay tuned!

John Abraham Wants To Produce Films That Are Commercially Viable.

John Abraham says that as a producer he wants to back films that do well at the box office. The 40 year old prefers projects that are commercially viable. ‘Vicky Donor’ his debut production became a big hit. Commercial reason is not at all the basis of his acting projects. He says that he has two sides to him, the left and right out of which one thinks as an actor, while the other thinks as a producer. John Abraham makes choices depending on what his right side thinks which are not based on any commercial reason and is quite clear about that nor does he have any issues about it, he states. John wants to do a ‘No Smoking’ sequel project but only when he feels that it has potential at the box office. Even if many are shocked at this, he says that his actor side thinks in this manner. He expects ‘Madras Café’ his next film to perform well at the box office just like ‘Vicky Donor’ on the basis of sheer economics. John feels he is absolutely sure about the script.
