Amitabh Bachchan has shown us that he is always open to fantastic and often quirky roles.
His latest film Paa is proof of this.
His character Auro suffers from progeria, a rare disease in which the child ages rapidly. So Amitabh ironically plays son to his real life son Abhishek.
The film is directed by R Balki, who gave the actor another role interesting role in their previous film, Cheeni Kum.

why and how you live explained
dog
On the first day, God created the dog and said, “Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.”
The dog said, “That’s a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten?”
So God agreed……
On the second day, God created the monkey and said, “Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.”
The monkey said, “Monkey tricks for twenty years? That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?”
And God agreed……
On the third day, God created the cow and said, “You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.”
The cow said, “That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I’ll give back the other forty?”
And God agreed again……
On the fourth day, God created humans and said, “Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you twenty years.”
But the human said, “Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?”
“Okay,” said God. “You asked for it.”
So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family.. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I’m doing it as a public service.

shockwaves in india
A high intensity earthquake hit Andaman and Nicobar islands on Tuesday and shook many cities in southern and eastern India but there were no reports of any casualty.
The 7.8 magnitude quake on the Richter scale struck at 01:26 AM about 265 kms north of Port Blair, the Indian Meteorological Department said putting the tremor in the "great category".
Though the Pacific Tsunami Warning centre had issued a tsunami alert which was subsequently withdrawn, the Indian Tsunami Warning Centre did not issue any warning. Indian scientists were of the opinion that it was a normal fault and did not warrant any warning, Secretary, Ministry of Earth Sciences Shailesh Nayak said.
Tremors were felt in several places in Chennai, Vijaywada, several places in Orissa and in Kolkata.
In Chennai, residents of Anna Nagar, Mylapore, Besant Nagar and Nungambakkam areas felt the tremors and complaints of cracks in houses were also received from few places.

top ten excuses
Top 10 Excuses For Getting Out of Work
We've all been there: it's a beautiful day and you can't bear the thought of going into work. So you call in with the lame-old excuse about feeling ill even though you know your boss doesn't buy it. Besides, "feeling ill" is at best only a short-term solution that won't win you any fans at the office. That's why if you're going to play hooky, you need an excuse that will help you save face as well as your sanity. Here are some ideas.
1. (For women) "I have really bad cramps." Now before you dismiss this one, think about it: Who can argue? It's such an embarrassing topic that nobody will ever challenge you. It's one of those things that men honestly have no clue about and women can sympathize with.
2. (For men) "I have horrible diarrhea." Again, before you dismiss this one, remember that it's such an embarrassing topic - especially for a man - nobody will doubt your sincerity. Plus, it's simple. You don't need an elaborate back story because no one wants to hear the details. If anything, your boss and co-workers will admire you for your honesty.
3. "I'm having an allergic reaction to _______, and I need a day to recover." This excuse requires a few details about when and where it happened as well as the details of your food allergy, but Google should give you everything you need. The upside of this excuse is that you can use it more than once. The downside is that it requires a good memory and some vigilance: for instance, you can't claim a peanut allergy and then gorge yourself on Thai food at the next company junket.
4. "My grandmother's/grandfather's memorial service is today." This excuse works for two reasons: first, because elderly people die everyday no one is going to think your excuse is unlikely; second, no one is going to question (or resent) a death in your family for fear of offending you. If you play your cards right, this excuse is good for four free days - one for each grandparent - with each new job.
5. "My wife/husband is extremely ill and I need to stay home and take care of them." The excuse is a gem not only because you get a day off, but also because it makes you seem sensitive. The only drawback is that it requires an accomplice - namely, your spouse. As such, you may want to save this excuse for a special occasion when the two of you can organize a special three-day weekend.
6. "One of my children locked themselves in the basement. I couldn't get them out myself so we had to call the fire department." This is only one of a multitude of excuses you can use with mischievous children. Just recycle the same formula - child gets in trouble, child needs help, parent to the rescue. This works with children of all ages, from children traumatized by irresponsible day-care workers to playground fights to errant teenagers
. (Hey, this is one of the perks of having kids - they torment us 364 days of the year and we get 1 day off. Fair trade.)
7. "I took some work home last night and will be going through it today from home." Whoever invented telecommuting should be sainted. Just remember that in order to sell the "working from home" excuse you need to email or call the office a couple times throughout the day to maintain the ruse that you're working. The best time to do this is at lunch - that way you get credit for the call but you don't have to answer too many questions.
8. "My next door neighbor's house caught on fire last night and damaged a small part of our roof. So I'll have to spend the day with the insurance company and the assessors." Again, this is a formula: something happened to a neighbor (fire, flood, nuclear fallout), and you are involved through no fault of your own. The important thing is to keep it small. Make it more of an annoyance than a disaster. The idea is to convince your boss and co-workers that you are the unlucky one. "Trust me," you say, "I would much rather be at work."
9. "I got pulled over for speeding on my way to work the other day and I have to go to traffic school." The idea here is that you had minor trouble with the law (emphasis on minor) and you have to pay your dues. A variation on this would be letting your license expire - or at least claiming it did - which means you had to go to the DMV and take a written test as well as a driving test, which could easily take a full day. After all, the DMV has its reputation for a reason.
And finally...
10. "My accountant made some clerical errors on my taxes and I'm being audited." In the wake of the Enron scandal and the demise of Arthur Andersen, this excuse is a sure-thing. The important thing is to make the accountant look like the bad guy - you just need to be there to make sure he doesn't do anything shady. Once again, the key to this excuse is to make everyone feel sorry for you, not envy you.

blow away winter in australia
Five Ways to Keep Warm in Melbourne Winter
Winter is coming to Australia all too quickly and when it starts getting colder, keeping warm and finding cozy spots grows in importance. Here are five ways to keep warm in Melbourne:
1. Have a coffee. You’re in Melbourne! You will get some of the best coffee in the world here, so go for it. If coffee isn’t your thing, try a hot chai or even a hot chocolate. I have tried all three, and they are all excellent.
2. Eat some Indian food. Multicultural Melbourne is a term I use a lot – and for good reason! There are all kinds of cultures dishing out their best food. But if you’re looking for something to warm you through and through, I recommend Indian food. (Especially butter chicken. Yum.)
3. Find a free wi-fi café. When it’s cold outside, there is nothing nicer than taking a rest in a nice, cozy café that has free wi-fi. If you want an incredibly massive (but ever-changing) list for other Melbourne hot spots, check out this site: http://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/melbourne_details.php?id=10425
4. Go for a brisk walk around the Royal Botanic Gardens. http://www.thebloggersguide.com/melbourne/royal-botanic-gardens-melbourne The best way to warm up is to get moving, and the Royal Botanic Gardens are going and growing no matter what the season.
5. Stop in at a pub. Alcohol is certainly good at warming you, but any decent pub will make you a coffee, too. Pubs often have the game on, music going and a lot of patrons to keep the temperature warm.

Under the e-visa process, visa service providers would be able to submit application forms and documents on behalf of the applicants and customers, besides collect visa approvals, online without visiting the consular office. – PTI

Indian music maestro A.R. Rahman became the first Indian to bag two Oscars for his work in British filmmaker Danny Boyle's much acclaimed 'Slumdog Millionaire', which tells the rags-to-riches story of a Mumbai slum dweller.
He got his first Oscar on the night of the 81st Academy Awards here for best original score for the Mumbai-based drama.
The composer was overwhelmed and interspersed his speech with Hindi as well as Tamil on receiving the coveted trophy here Sunday.
'There is a dialogue from an old Hindi film - 'Mere paas ma hai' - which means I have nothing but a mother. My mother is here, I have her blessings. I am glad she could be here,' said Rahman.
He ended the acceptance speech by saying 'God is great' in Tamil, something he says after winning every award.
He shared the second Oscar for best original song for the film's theme number 'Jai Ho' with noted Indian lyricist Gulzar.
'All my life I had a choice between hate and love. I chose love and I am here,' said Rahman after receiving his second golden statuette

AUSTRALIAN BUSH FIRES
AUSTRALIAN BUSH FIRES
Australia is searching for answers this morning with the death toll from the bushfires in Victoria having risen to 173 and questions arising about just how the losses could be so great and so far.
A royal commission will be launched to examine the policy of advising residents to stay and defend their home or to evacuate beforehand.
In the worst peacetime loss of life the country has ever experienced, it is feared the number of dead could be as high as 230, the Times reports today.
Towns have been sealed off as potential crime scenes with police indicating they are closing in on arsonists believed to be involved in lighting some of the 400 blazes, the Guardian reports.
An emotional Kevin Rudd, the Australian prime minister, said: "These numbers [of dead] are numbing. There are no words to describe it other than mass murder."
At least 750 houses have been destroyed and another 5,000 people have been left without homes

AIRBUS CRASHES INTO HUDSON RIVER
A US airliner on a domestic flight with 155 people aboard has ditched into the Hudson River in New York City but with no loss of life.
All 150 passengers, three flight attendants and two pilots were rescued in freezing weather, with a number later treated for unspecified injuries.
The US Airways Airbus A320 crashed just after taking off from LaGuardia Airport heading for Charlotte, North Carolina.
Officials believe the plane may have collided with a flock of geese.
The BBC's Greg Wood reports from New York that it was a true delivery from disaster, a commercial airliner forced to ditch in the river just next to the skyscrapers of mid-town Manhattan but with no fatalities.
One person suffered two broken legs and paramedics treated 78 patients, most for minor injuries but, through a combination of luck, the skill of the pilot and a rapid emergency response, 155 people have had a very narrow escape, our correspondent says.
Air accident investigators are in New York to probe the cause of the incident.
