SRK & Amir "cold war continues"...By sify movies

The Aamir-SRK `Cold War` just turned a little warmer, and we see no light at the end of the tunnel now!

In an interview on CCN`s Talk Asia, Aamir Khan took another swipe at Shah Rukh when he was asked about his status as Bollywood`s new `King Khan` following the Ghajini success. The actor thoughtfully replied: `I had absolutely no intention of kicking Shah Rukh off his pedestal. Though I have to say, I don`t think he ever was on it.`

"Sex is not requierd in my film ,my name is enough"

He went on (don`t read any further, SRK): `In my opinion, the actor who I really look up to is Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. He is someone whose work I really like, a fantastic actor and the kind of stardom Mr. Bachchan has seen, none of us can ever hope to see.`

Punjabis Dominate Bollywood Releases This Season:The Hindu reports

Mumbai (IANS): It's time for bhangra. Three films to be released in the next fortnight will have one common theme - a Punjabi background.

Aloo Chaat, Ek - The Power of One and Videsh all have either a Punjabi or someone settled in Punjab as the principal protagonist.

"In Aloo Chaat, I play the part of an NRI who returns to his Punjabi family based in Delhi with a prospective bride," says Aftab Shivdasani, who is actually hard to be imagined as a young Punjabi man. However, director Robby Grewal, who is a Punjabi from Delhi, has ensured that the Punjabi milieu is very much on the forefront in his third directorial outing.

While his supporting actors like Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Manoj Pahwa are shown to be hardcore Punjabis, there is this entire culture drive revolving around Punjabiyat in the film. No wonder the film promises to feature Punjabi celebrations in full fervour. There are Yash Chopra style "ladies sangeets" featuring the entire cast of the film too.

For director Sangeeth Sivan, it was obvious to move into a Punjabi setting once he settled down on Bobby Deol as his leading man for Ek - The Power of One.

"Ek is a remake of Telugu film Athadu and once I decided to remake the film with Bobby Deol in the lead, there was no other place to go than Punjab. The mustard fields there bring an altogether different look and feel to the film," says Sivan.

No wonder the romantic outings of Bobby Deol and Shreya Saran are in the mustard fields. The fight sequences feature Bobby Deol taking on a bunch of Sikhs.

Videsh, of course, is a serious film that has been highly acclaimed well before its release in India. The film features Preity Zinta in the role of Chand, a young woman from Ludhiana who moves to the US with her husband (Vansh Bhardwaj). She immediately faces challenges in her new household with immense family pressure and lack of living space turning out to be the core problem areas.

"Though Preity is not a Punjabi by birth, she looks extremely convincing as one," says an industry follower.

With more Delhi-based films like Love Aaj Kal and It's My Life releasing soon, there may be more portrayals of Punjabi culture on offer this year.

Goa Most Visited Beach In Goa by Foreigners : Palolem Beach

Heaven of the beachs

Often referred to as the "Paradise Beach," Palolem simply spells magic all the way. In fact, there are very few beaches in India that can measure up to the beauty and allure of Palolem.

Palolem Beach is at Goa, within 4 kilometres from the market town of Chaudi, Canacona District, which is about one hour's drive from the coastal town of Karwar in Karnataka and about 40 minutes from Margao (Main city in South Goa).

The beach is largely unspoiled and is inhabited by both local fishermen and by foreign tourists who live in shacks along the shore. It is about one mile (2km) long and is crescent-shaped - one can view the whole beach from either end. Both ends of the beach consist of rocks jutting out into the sea. The depth of the sea increases gradually, it being shallowest at the northern ends of the beach, making it safe for average swimmers, and the currents are not fast. However, there is a high chance of encounters with jellyfish.

Owing to its partly secluded nature, Palolem is a great draw for tourists looking forward to a relaxed beach holiday in Goa. In fact, many of them take up accommodation at the beach huts in Palolem Goa that are in great demand all throughout the year. In fact, staying at a beach hut in Palolem is an experience of a lifetime. Besides, the beach huts come with all basic facilities like attached baths, running water and nice beds to ensure a comfortable stay.

When you go there belive me friends you will feel that you are not in India.It's common to see topless women and girls on the beach.Try to avoid the weekends, as there is a big crowd of picnickers who throng the Palolem beach in Goa on weekends.

There are many places along the beach serving alcohol and are usually your best bet if you want to mingle and meet new people.

Facing the wide open Arabian Sea, the temple at Somnath is an imposing structure offering a spectacular sight to the beholders. At a distance of 79 km from Junagadh and 25 km from Chorwad is the temple of Somnath, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. The legend says, Somnath was built by none other than the Moon God himself at the time of creation. The remains of the temple "braved the shocks of time and survived the attacks of destroyers." Facing the wide open Arabian Sea, the temple at Somnath is an imposing structure offering a spectacular sight to the beholders. At a distance of 79 km from Junagadh and 25 km from Chorwad is the temple of Somnath, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. The legend says, Somnath was built by none other than the Moon God himself at the time of creation. The remains of the temple "braved the shocks of time and survived the attacks of destroyers."

It is as old as creation and its reference is available in Rig Ved also. It is said - the Moon (Soma) with his wife Rohini worshipped the deity of the temple, the Sparsha Ling, to free himself from the curse of his father-in-law, Daksha Prajapati. Lord Shiva pleased with his penance restored his light for half of the month. Hence the deity here is known as Someshwar or Somnath, Lord of the moon and the place as Prabhas. The Somnath is known as the Shrine Eternal as it has withstood the shocks of time and the attacks of the destroyers. It has risen like a phoenix each time it was destroyed or desecrated. The present temple is the seventh temple built on the original site. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the great son of India and its first Deputy Prime Minister took a pledge on November 13, 1947 for its reconstruction which was completed on December 1, 1995 when the President of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma dedicated it in the service of the nation. The present temple is built by Shree Somnath Trust which looks after the entire complex of Shree Somnath and its environs.

Such a temple has not been constructed in India during the last 800 years. The Temple is situated at such a place that there is no land in between from Somnath sea-shore to Antartica, the South Pole. Such an inscription in Sanskrit is found on the ARROW-PILLAR erected on the sea-protection wall at the Somnath Temple.There is a grey-sand beach outside the temple which is part of the temple's lonely seaside charm.

The current temple was built to traditional designs on the original site by the sea. It contains one of The 12 sacred Shiva shrines known as jyoti linga. Photography is prohibited inside the temple, and you must leave your camera at the hut outside.

it is said to have originally been built out of gold by Somraj, the moon god, only to be rebuilt by Rawana in Silver, then by krishna in wood and by Bhimdev in Stone.
