Lucid dreaming, anyone?

Many of you might have heard of lucid dreaming, but not many might know what it really means. So here it is. If you are dreaming and realise that you are indeed far removed from reality and continue to dream, you are lucid dreaming. For some, it comes naturally. For others, it comes through practice.

You are a hologram!

First things first. There’s a book called The Hologram. And no, this is no artificially-induced simulation of reality, but reality itself. And the upshot? That reality is much more fluid and changable. Which means, we are literally making reality as we go along by probing it and measuring it. And then, there is the GEO600

Sleeplessness doesn’t bog married women?

Statistics reveal much about the society we live in. Now there is a study that says married women sleep better than singletons. Though, I am not sure if many women I know agree (haven’t asked yet), I am wondering how such a thing can be generalised across the social spectrum. But first, here’s what the

Nudity question makes Kareena storm out of a press conference

I thought Kareena Kapoor had learnt the ropes of staying afloat in the film industry. But just the other day, at the press conference to announce the film, Kambakkht Ishq, Kareena did the unthinkable. She stormed out of the press conference when a journalist asked her if she would go nude in any of her

Pre-budget expectations

Everytime, there are experts telling the government to increase outlays to education, reduce fiscal deficit, grant more tax holidays to new age industries like IT, insurance and so on.  I will do none of that. I will just reproduce what Ninad Karpe, CEO  & MD of Aptech Limited has to say about his pre-budget expectations…

Sexy side of celebrity gossip

There’s one corner of cyberspace that dishes out the best pictures and videos on the most salacious lives of Hollywood celebrities. From being the first to air the nude pictures of Britney Spears shot in 2007 to supermodel Giselle Bundchen’s nude pictures to Anna Paquin’s nude videos from the new Vampire TV series, True Blood,

Saif’s butt act in Love Aaj Kal

Yup. The filmmakers of Kambakkht Ishq and Love Aaj Kal are trying to outdo each other in getting the best initials for their film through some eye-grabbing promos. If Akshay is pecking Kareena in Kambakkht Ishq, Saif is going the whole hog with Deepika Padukone. He is not only lip-locking with Deepika but almost grabbing

IPL, T20 and India

I agree with Indian cricket coach Gary Kirsten. He says playing in the IPL cost the Indian team the T20 World Cup. Why? Player fatique and injury. Easier said. But then, why didn’t he sound an alarm when the IPL schedule was announced? Why weren’t senior cricketers and concerned sports buffs airing their views before

Sex symbol Sharon Stone paired with Big B

Basic Instinct star Sharon Stone will now be starring with Amitabh Bachchan in a film titled Lost Love. She is to start shooting either by the end of this year or early next year. Though she is yet to sign the dotted line, it will now only be a formality as the actress has already

Shah Rukh gifts a flat to his bodyguard

King Khan does everything in style. But importantly, he ensures his key people are happy and so it was when he learnt his decade-old bodyguard Yaseen Khan was getting married. Promptly, he made enquiries to buy a flat for him in Bandra, so he is close to Mannat, where SRK stays. Yaseen is shocked that

Aamir Khan to be a father

Aamir’s second wife Kiran Rao is not only pregnant, she is now a victim of high fever and lung infection. Doctors suspect tuberculosis. After the emergency treatment at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital, she is back at her Pali Hill home and recuperating. But doctors are having a tough time to battle the latest disease plaguing

Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh drops his pants

Yes. Neil Nitin Mukesh of Johnny Gaddaar fame has literally dropped his pants for his upcoming film, Jail. Could it be his desperation after his last film Aa Dekhen Zara failed to click with the masses or is it his bid  to ensure his next film’s initials? Directed by controversy-conscious Madhur Bhandarkar, this film is
