Bollywoods Khiladi Akshay Kumar loves action and comedy, but says he prefers being tagged as an action hero. I think I have very much enjoyed both the tags. Ive got both the tags all the time, but somewhere in my heart, I love the action one more, the 45-year-old said here Monday on the sets of TV show Comedy Circus. Some of Akshays comedy films include Hera Pheri, Awara Paagal Deewana, Garam Masala, Heyy Babyy and Housefull. Akshay says its tough to make people laugh. I think its tough to make people laugh, its easy to kick, but to make someone laugh is tough, Akshay said. Akshay plays Lord Krishna in his next Oh My God. About his belief in god, he said: I am a believer. But more than god, I believe in my parents, in what they say ... and after them, I believe in god, he said. Akshay made a comeback to the action genre after seven years with his recent hit Rowdy Rathore and was later seen in the sci-fi film Joker, which didnt fare well at the box office.

Bilateral trade between India and the U.S. has increased 40 percent in the last three years and is on track to cross $100 billion this year, U.S. Consul General Jennifer Mcintyre said. Mcintyre, while delivering Indira Gandhi Endowment Lecture, said one of the key drivers in the United States and Indias strategic relationship was business and trade. Our business ties are strong and growing.

ABCs, she said, provide useful information for Indian businesses looking to partner with U.S. companies or expand their market overseas. She said an architectural trade mission would be to Chennai in October as well as people from San Antonio will visit in January. Observing that Chennai ranks among the top 10 visa issuing centre in world and the single largest issuer of Government Administration. Further to commitments made in Economic Action Plan 2012 to improve services to Canadians, realize operational efficiencies and increase internal productivity, this Sub-Committee has been mandated to consider proposals on whole-ofgovernment opportunities for improved efficiency and effectiveness.

This is an example of our Governments commitment to spending Canadian taxpayers money responsibly by looking for potentially unnecessary expenses. The Honourable Tony specific technical work-related areas, Mcintyre said, ...we are continuing to work on ways to make the process easier and more efficient for the public.

Donald Trump on Kate Middleton Emily Maynard GUSHES Over Jef Holm Topless Pics: All Her Fault, Totally Fair Game!
The shocking release of Kate Middleton topless photos, taken from a distance while she was at a private villa in have to strip down outdoors, after all! Kate Middleton is great, but shouldnt be sunbathing in the pics, and have already won an injunction against French gossip magazine Closer. However, at least two other Jef Holm and Emily Maynard have certainly been put to the test ever since The Bachelorette ended, but so far, they have passed that test with flying colors.

Between rumors of Emily cheating and the ever-present Bachelor curse (i.e. no one on the show actually stays together), things may not have looked good. Good thing is, no one bothered to tell them that. Not only are they not breaking up, they cant stand to be apart, according to E!

Bollywood actress Esha Deol doesnt want her businessman husband, Bharat Takhtani to turn to acting. I had always said that I never wanted to marry a hero.

Bhupathi and Bopanna can appeal Zaheer Khans fitness key to Indias against punishment: AITA success, feels Wasim Akram
AITA Secretary General Bharat Oza on Wednesday said that Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna can reach out to the executive committee and appeal against the punishment handed to them on the ground of indiscipline. We are not denying the yeoman service being done by the two players. They can appeal to the executive committee. We will forward that to the ethics committee, Oza said. I have written to the players, they can put forward their views. We have never called them traitors, he added. The AITA, in a release, stated that the decision to ban the duo was taken by a majority in the executive committee and president Anil Khanna was in minority in this case. Asked to explain, Oza said, He was in minority in the sense that we debated on the length of the punishment. A lot of options were explored. 2-3 ties. Mr Khanna said there should be a specific period and there should not be ambiguity on the length of the Pace spearhead Zaheer Khan quickly needs to regroup his resources and improve his fitness level if India are to fancy their chances of winning the World Cup Twenty20 again, feels former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram. Zaheers fitness looked suspect. He did not look sharp enough and probably his energy levels were not up to the mark. I know Sri Lankan conditions are extremely demanding, but if Zaheer has to lead Indias attack, he has to be at the peak of his fitness. Dhonis selection worries, I would imagine, will be around his senior players like Zaheer, Harbhajan and Irfan Pathan, Akram said. Akram said that the loss against Pakistan in the warmup game has left skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni with the dilemma of whether to go in with five specialist bowlers or opt for the additional batsman, considering that bowling in the death overs has been a worry. The match against Pakistan will force MS Dhoni to mull over his first XI. While its always a horses-for-courses policy, deciding the playing XI will always be a tough call. For a 20-20 game, India have several all-rounders and that will enable Dhoni pick four specialist bowlers and seven batsmen. The fact that Sehwag, Raina, Yuvraj and Kohli are decent bowlers is a great bonus for Team India, he said. Akram expressed his happiness over the inclusion of Yuvraj Singh in the Indian team. It was great to see Yuvraj back
Some said they should be ignored forever and another view was that they should not be considered for at least

Week of activities culminates in 2012 Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame Gala Dinner and Induction Ceremony The 2012 Celebration of Excellence hit Ottawa and Toronto September 19-21, honouring Canadian Olympic
West Indies batting great Brian Lara says it is a humbling experience to be selected for induction into the Hall of Fame alongside some of the worlds greatest cricketers. Lara, who retired from international cricket five years ago, will be formally inducted at the ICC Awards ceremony on Saturday. I think its a very humbling experience for me, Lara was quoted as saying. First of all, to be considered and then to be selected is a great moment. The former West Indies captain will become the 67th male member of the Hall of Fame and will be inducted with Englands Enid Bakewell, the third woman to achieve such a milestone. Lara was one of the West Indies most prolific batsmen having represented the country in 131 Tests and 299 ODIs in a career that spanned 17 years. He amassed some 11,953 runs at an average of 52.88. To be named alongside some of the great cricketers not just from the West Indies but from all around the world like Sir Garfield Sobers, the Three Ws, Sir Vivian Richards is a very
in the field. I saw his quickfire 34 off 26 balls against the Kiwis in Chennai. Typically, Yuvraj connected a few lusty blows but his timing has to get sweeter. The fact he is back to international cricket is only due to the Almightys blessings and I am sure everyones going to watch him closely in Sri Lanka, he said. The pace legend picked India and Pakistan as favourites to lift the trophy on the slow familiar tracks of the island nation where they have played a lot of cricket. Akram felt that Pakistans run-chase and their ability to handle the pressure against a talented Indian side will give Mohammed Hafeezs team a great deal of confidence going into the championship. No matter what the status of the game is, no Indian captain
wants to lose a match against Pakistan. Every India versus Pakistan contest is emotionally supercharged and hence the high fives in the Pakistan dugout on Monday were expected. It was good to see the players in great spirits and the younger ones exchanging pleasantries after the game. Akram said that Pakistan have the best attack in the world and singled out Saeed Ajmal and Shahid Afridi as the key men for the Men in Green. Saeed Ajmal will be the man to watch out and Shahid Afridi remains the quintessential partnership breaker with wickets at crucial junctures. If Afridi has to play in the Pakistan team, he can only do so as a bowler. His experience in tight situations can be effective and his flatter legspins are tough to hit.
in Antigua in 2004 when he scored 400 not out - still the highest by any Test batsmen in an individual innings. Lara played 299 ODIs scoring 10,405 at an average of 40.48 that included 19 centuries and 63 half-centuries. I had quite a few special moments in my career. I think our 2-1 series win in Australia in 1993 under Richie Richardson was very special, said Lara, the only batsman to have scored a hundred, a double century, a triple century, a quadruple century,

MOVIE TALK
scenes
When filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) is in his usual quirky element (cue: his Twitter feed), hes certain to have some tricks up his sleeve. He maintained this attitude through the shooting of his directorial venture, Bhoot Returns. A source close from the project reveals that the director has shot the film in a haunted house on Pali Hill without letting his cast and crew know about the houses eerie history. The house is quite old and the first owner had committed suicide there. Since then, the owners claim to have witnessed unusual events, says the source. RGV must have chosen not to reveal this creepy secret to his team as it might have scared the unit members and disturbed the shoot. He didnt disclose this detail until the shooting of the film was supposed to finish. The cast got quite spooked later after getting to know that someone had committed suicide in the house, says the source. When asked about this, RGV says, I got to know that the
story goes through various illfated relationships and career roller coasters all the way to a point where Mahi is forced to risk everything she had. Her career, her sanity and her life all at once go through a spinning twist. Could Mahi retain her position as the No. 1 Heroine of her times? Was her True Love ever going to be requited?
Was Mahi going to lose everything she cared for? OR was there a way of saving herself to emerge as a true Heroine ... of Life??? These are questions that only can be answered by MahiArora herself. Heroine is now playing at Albion and Woodside Cinemas and show times can be found @ www.albioncinemas.com .

house has a history only after we started shooting for the movie. Did he get scared himself? I was too busy trying to scare (my viewers), so I never got the time to get scared myself, he says. However, the house was lent out on the condition that Varma would not reveal the exact address of the place. The current owner of the house gave the house to RGV for the shoot only after he
was assured that the director wont give out the address of the house in the movie or to the media, the source adds. Releasing on October 12, Bhoot Returns is a 3D sequel to Bhoot (2003) and stars Manisha Koirala, JD Chakravarthy, Madhu Shalini and child actor Alayana Sharma.

There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour. Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, Come on man, I was just joking. Here, Ill buy you another drink. I just cant stand to see a man cry. No, its not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away. I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison. Walking through Chinatown, a tourist is fascinated with all the Chinese restaurants, shops, signs and banners. He turns a corner and sees a building with the sign, Hans Olaffsens Laundry. Hans Olaffsen?, he muses. How in hell does that fit in here? So he walks into the shop and sees an old Chinese gentleman behind the counter. The tourist asks, How did this place get a name like Hans Olaffsens Laundry? The old man answers, Is name of owner. The tourist asks, Well, who and where is the owner? Me...is right here, replies
the old man. You? How did you ever get a name like Hans Olaffsen? Is simple, says the old man. Many, many year ago when come to this country, was stand in line at Documentation Center. Man in front was big blonde Swede. Lady look at him and go, What your name? He say,Hans Olaffsen. Then she look at me and go, What your name? I say Sem Ting. A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man received the full treatment - shave, shampoo, manicure, haircut, etc. - he placed the boy in the chair. Im goin to buy a green tie to wear for the parade, he said. Ill be back in a few minutes. When the boys haircut was completed and the man still hadnt returned, the barber said, Looks like your daddys forgotten all about you. That wasnt my daddy, said the boy. He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, Come on, son, were gonna get a free haircut! A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and continued on. Finally he went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him. Pardon me, she said, Im sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. Its just that you look just like my son, who just died recently. Im very sorry, replied the young man, is there anything I can do for you? Yes, she said, As Im leaving, can you say Good bye, Mother! ? It would make me feel so much better.
Sure, answered the young man. As the old woman was leaving, he called out, Goodbye, Mother! As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50. How can that be? he asked, I only purchased a few things! Your mother said that you would pay for her, said the clerk. In the supermarket was a man pushing a cart which contained a screaming, bellowing baby. The gentleman kept repeating softly, Dont get excited, Albert; dont scream, Albert; dont yell, Albert; keep calm, Albert. A woman standing next to him said, You certainly are to be commended for trying to soothe your son, Albert. The man looked at her and said, Lady, Im Albert. Two Yuppettes were shopping. When they started to discuss their home lives, one said, Seems like all Alfred and I do anymore is fight. Ive been so upset Ive lost 20 pounds. Why dont you just leave him then? asked her friend. Oh! Not yet. the first replied, Id like to lose at least another fifteen pounds first. Cash, check or charge? I asked after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet I notice a remote control for a television set in her purse. Do you always carry your TV remote? I asked. No, she replied. But my husband refused to come shopping with me, so I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him.
