Chanakya's secrets to happy life

Chanakya explained in these four pointers below, why you should not discuss with anyone if you want to lead a happy life.

1. Money Loss

The first thing that Chanakya said not to discuss with people is a financial crunch. If you are going through a financial loss, keep it to yourself. The reason for this is that when people come to know about your money problem, they will never help you and even if they show their support, it is fake.

2. Personal problems

The second thing that has to be kept as a secret always according to Chanakya is your personal problems. Chanakya says, that people who share their personal problems with others are always ridiculed and looked down upon. People laugh at them behind their back.

3. Wife's character

The third thing that needs to be kept as a secret is the character of one’s wife. Those who keep this a secret are wise men at the end of the day. He said that men who talk about their wives in front of others might say something they did not intend to.

4. About being insulted

The fourth thing that should always remain as a secret is one’s insult by down trodden or the "neglected" of the society. Chanakya thought if you do share such an incident , people might make fun of you. This will eventually harm your pride and ego, leading to loss in self confidence.

Eiffel Tower

Being a travel enthusiast, I went to several countries of Europe for refreshment with my family. Among all the other places that I visited in Europe, one of best cities is Paris - a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. 

Its 19th-century city-scape is crisscrossed by wide boulevards and the River Seine. 
Beyond such landmarks as the Eiffel Tower and the 12th-century, Gothic Notre-Dame cathedral, the city is known for its cafe culture and designer boutiques along the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

When the whole world is mesmerised by the architecture of this magnificent tower, all the people of France hate this tower as they think there is no artistic beauty in this "useless and monstrous" wrought iron lattice tower.....

Matching wine with food

Matching wine with food

How to combine wines with food? Herebelow are some basics. If you have a specific varietal wine and you wonder which food would match, you will find suggestions in my primer on types of wines.

Avoid

The following food damages wine tasting: spice, garlic, vinegar (to be replaced by white wine), raw fruits.

You should also:

• Avoid red meat with white wines or sweet wines.
• Avoid fish, raw vegetables, and goat cheese, with red wines that dry the palate - but think of trying a cool Gamay or afruity Pinot.
• Avoid desserts, Foie Gras, and very strong cheeses (Munster, blue cheese), with Loire Cabernet, pink wine, or crisp white (such as dry Loire, Champagne, or Vinho Verde).

Food-wine pairing explained

Wine rouses pleasure with various food. Almost any dish can be matched with many types of wines. People have different palates and inclinations: everyone will make their own combinations.

For example you can try cheese with a young white (any cheese with Chardonnay, light cheeses with Sauvignon Blanc).

Some rules can guide your matching experiments though:

• A simple course leaves room for the wine to shine.
• Old wines are delicate to serve and match. The dish should be discreet.
• In theory, a slightly sweetened or bitter course accentuates the dryness (acidity, tannins) of a wine. You should thus avoid hard wines with sweet food.
• On the contrary, the more a dish is salty or acidic, the sweeter the wine will taste. This is an opportunity for you totry wines from fresher climates.

Vivekananda flyover collapses

I just don't know what is wrong with people now-a-days.....
Instead of helping in the rescue processes of today's accident near Ganesh Talkies Cinema, different political leaders of various parties are busy accusing each other.

They are busy researching under which Government the construction of the fly-over was started.

Are these people nuts?

Shit man! There are still many vehicles and people under the ruins and the rescue teams were already 2.5 hours late!

This discussion can be done later on, after the rescue process is over.

Inspired by Preity Zinta’s fiance ‘Gene Goodenough’, Rakhi Sawant announces engagement to ‘Chromosome Muchbetter’

Mumbai: Sensing an opportunity to get some publicity, drama queen Rakhi Sawant today announced that she would be finally getting engaged, putting an end to rumors about a possible second season of Rakhi ka Swayamwar.

Rakhi Sawant feeling MuchBetter after her engagement announcement

Apparently, inspired by Preity Zinta having a fiance called ‘Gene Goodenough’, Rakhi Sawant declared that she too had a fiance and that too one with a much better name than Ms. Zinta’s.

At a recently held Bollywood award ceremony where Ms. Sawant landed up without invitation, she announced that her fiance was a businessman from ‘Antarctica’ and his name was ‘Chromosome Muchbetter’.

“Chromosome is the man of my dreams,” Rakhi said, in an exclusive chat with this Faking News reporter.

“He is big and fit and makes money doing something in Antarctica. He is the best. This Preity might have found a good-enough guy, but my fiance is much better! Aajkal acche chromosome milte kaha hai,” she said almost ruing the fact that women have few choices when it comes to choosing the right man.

“Look how big diamond ring he gives me! Look!” she exclaimed, flashing her ring finger in front of this reporter, pronouncing “diamond” as “daamond”.

“Har aurat yehi chahti hai uska pati baaki sab se behtar ho. Now if any woman praises her husband, I can say that mine is Muchbetter,” she said with an animated face.

Maenwhile, a guy named DNA AlmostPerfect has reportedly lodged a complaint against ‘unknown woman’ for pestering him with marriage proposals. “Yes, it’s true. Since the time Priety Zinta got married, I am being harassed by women who want me to get married to them. Now I am seriously thinking of getting my name changed,” he said with a worried look on his face.

Alan Rickman dead: British actor and theatre legend has died aged 69

Alan Rickman, the celebrated British film and stage actor best known for roles in Harry Potter, Sense and Sensibility, Robin Hood and Die Hard, has died aged 69 after suffering from cancer. 

Rickman passed away in London with his loved ones by his side. His family said in a statement: “The actor and director Alan Rickman has died from cancer at the age of 69. He was surrounded by family and friends.”

Rickman was born in Acton, west London, in 1946. He attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and began his career on stage after graduating, appearing in productions with the Royal Shakespeare Company. 

Known for his gravelly voice and dominating presence of screen, he also had memorable roles in films such as Love Actually and a Bafta award-winning turn as the Sheriff in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, with his breakout role arriving in the form of the scheming Vicomte de Valmont in an acclaimed 1985 RSC production of “Les Liaisons Dangereuses.” But Rickman was not propelled to international fame until he was 41 when he landed the part of Bruce Willis’ arch enemy Hans Gruber in Die Hard. 

Rickman was honoured with a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy Award for his leading role in 1995 film Rasputin. He was unfazed about never winning an Academy Award, telling a US network in 2008: “Parts win prizes, not actors.”

Rickman appeared in all of the Harry Potter films as potions director Severus Snape, a villain who eventually redeems himself. He spoke fondly of his character and the series, reportedly once telling an interviewer: 

“When I'm 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I'll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me, 'After all this time?' And I will say, 'Always.”

Alan Rickman as Professor Snape in Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban

Stephen Fry led an outpouring of tributes to Rickman from his friends, fellow actors and legion of fans. “What desperately sad news about Alan Rickman,” he wrote on Twitter. “A man of such talent, wicked charm and stunning screen and stage presence. He'll be sorely missed.”

Harry Potter actor James Phelps, who played Fred Weasley, said Rickman was “One of the nicest actors I've ever met. Thoughts and prayers with his family at this time.”

He wed his partner of 50 years, economics lecturer and Labour councillor Rima Horton, in a quiet ceremony in 2012. He had no children.

He is perhaps most cherished among younger fans for playing deceptive hero Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films however, a malicious, slithering and petty professor on the surface, but deep down driven by good.

Here is his thoughtful and heartfelt goodbye letter to the role he penned for Empire in 2011, shortly after wrapping on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

It read:

  "I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time. On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma, and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes. Three children have become adults since a phone call with Jo Rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to Snape than an unchanging costume, and that even though only three of the books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands. It is an ancient need to be told in stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo. 

    -Alan Rickman"
