Why didn't Rohan Bopanna scream ‘am I a toy boy’?

Does the self-described "bait" tennis player Sania Mirza realise how much of a disservice she does to herself in particular and women in general?

Does she really envisage herself in that nauseating and sexist term? And, what is even sicker is that we make such fools of ourselves in India? If Azharuddin is caught for match fixing, he plays the Muslim card forgetting that he was captain of India; if Bangaru Laxman, the then president of BJP, indicted for accepting a bribe promptly pulls out the trusty Dalit card and now Mirza, with her formidable accomplishments, demeans herself by playing the woman card.

There are only 30 odd days left for the Olympics. Isn't it time that all of us in this country started playing the merit card?

It pains me as a woman to see gender being used to play victim. And, as a feminist, I am appalled that any woman can describe herself as”bait". Why bother with misogyny when we do such a fine job of knocking ourselves down!

Euro 2012: 5 reasons behind Spain’s another final appearance

Warsaw: Spain arrived at Euro 2012 the favourites, but, with the media on their backs from day one, they have had to fight their way to the final, as people have queued up to dismiss their chances and criticise their style.

The last European team to achieve a hat-trick of successive final appearances was West Germany in the 1970s, which makes Spain`s performance over the past six years all the more impressive.

Should they win it on Sunday they will become the first team to retain the Henri Delaunay Cup, as well as the first to win three consecutive major tournament.

Ramón y Cajal 160th Birthday

Google, a company (once) known for it’s “Don’t be Evil” corporate motto, has a fun practice of regularly replacing its homepage logo with various doodles.

Ramón y Cajal’s pioneering investigations of the microscopic structure of the brain made him the father of modern neuroscience. He was skilled at drawing, and hundreds of his illustrations of brain cells are still used for educational purposes

Rowdy Rathore : The Review

Prabhu Deva’s 'Rowdy Rathore' , his second innings after ‘Wanted’, may not be a clean and polished film, though you will enjoy a good measure of its mix of fair entertainment that provides an escapist fantasy.

Director:Prabhu Deva
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Nasser, Paresh Ganatra, Supreeth, Yashpal Sharma

This unabashed masala potpourri may not brim with cool twists in the plot or have redeeming witty one-liners yet, Rowdy Rathore snags your attention with its over the top melodrama, ample heroism, slapstick comedy, huge dollaps of action, sentiments and romance.
Even though the movie shows you something with no surface logic and truth, this remake of the Telugu hit 'Vikramakudu' is an incredible recreation. Watching Akshay’s moustache curling act and his action stunts will charm you.
