She stated “I am single. But beyond that I don’t think I need to give too much of details.”

“Sometimes it’s hard enough to take decisions, professional sometimes, but mostly personal and wherever the decision that you have to take, it’s very difficult to take them.”

She says further, “And if you have to make them in front of everybody, whether it’s media, or the public or the world, I think that’s a little bit more than what I can handle.”

The actress said further, “That’s why for six years, I have never commented who I am with, if I had a break up, if there is an argument.”

It was on this occasion that Katrina was honored as the international brand ambassador of Etihad Airways.

These allegations did not deter him. He added “This is an era of coalitions and no party including Congress, TDP or BJP have fought elections on their own. We will certainly have tie-ups with like-minded parties.”

He also stated that it is too early to discuss about electoral alliances right at the moment as elections are not round the corner. Chiranjeevi asserted that his party will work independently and function as a “vibrant” opposition in Andhra Pradesh.

PRP leader stated “We will be like a swan. We will not try to belittle the ruling party just for the heck of being critical or score political points.”

With penalties looming for the second successive final Iniesta fired home the winner when he was put through in the area by Cesc Fabregas. Keeper Maarten Stekelenburg dived to his right and got a hand to the ball but could not keep it out.

The defeat was heartbreaking for the Dutch, who were down to 10 men after John Heitinga was sent off in extra time. It was their third World Cup final loss after 1974 and 1978.

Spain, appearing in their first final, become the second team after West Germany in 1974 to follow up winning the European championship by lifting the biggest prize of all.

The Spaniards were also the first European team to win the World Cup on a foreign continent as they became the eighth name on the trophy first played for in 1930.

The victory sees Spain join Brazil (five times winners), Italy (four), Germany (three), Uruguay (two), Argentina (two), England and France as world champions.

DIFFICULT MATCH

“It was a very difficult match,” said Spain coach Vicente del Bosque. “We have fantastic players. We could have scored another goal or two but I think the result was deserved. It’s a very happy day for me. Naturally, I’m proud.”

“It’s unbelievable, incredible,” added goalscorer Andres Iniesta. “It cost a lot of energy. To win a World Cup is an indescribable feeling. This was our work that we started a long time ago, it was hard work, but we’re savouring this now.”

Nobody in Spain will care but it was a ragged final, marred by a record 13 yellow cards and one red.

After the goal and again at the final whistle the furious Dutch players surrounded English referee Howard Webb, claiming Iniesta was offside and also angry that Cares Puyol had escaped punishment when hauling down Arjen Robben late in normal time.

Despite the frenetic finish, there was little action in the first 90 minutes.

Stekelenburg was forced into a save after five minutes when Sergio Ramos headed a Xavi cross goalwards while Spain forward David Villa crashed a volley into the side netting with the goal looming.

But a series of freekicks and bookings, including two strong challenges by Dutch midfielders Nigel de Jong and Mark van Bommel, shook Spain out of their rhythm and stopped them from producing the swift-passing game that got them to the final.

BIZARRE INCIDENT

Netherlands offered little in attack and the nearest they came to a first-half goal was a bizarre incident when Gregory van der Wiel attempted to give the ball back in an act of sportsmanship.

The fullback’s 60-metre punt bounced up and over Spain captain Iker Casillas, forcing the startled keeper to leap and tip it to safety.

Wesley Sneijder then split the Spanish defence with a perfectly-weighted ball into the path of Robben after 62 minutes only for Casillas to save brilliantly with his feet.

Villa had a shot blocked in front of the line, an unmarked Ramos headed wildly over the bar from five metres out and Puyol had his escape when Robben stayed on his feet as he was being pulled — and was booked for complaining.

In extra time it was Stekelenburg’s turn to save with his feet when substitute Fabregas was sent clear by Iniesta.

Netherlands had to play with 10 men for the last 10 minutes of extra time when Heitinga was sent off for hauling down Iniesta on the edge of the box.

The little midfielder got back on his feet and soon after was celebrating scoring the winner in the World Cup final after smashing the ball past Stekelenburg from eight metres.

Win or lose, Spain is preparing for an extraordinary fiesta.

Spain’s blood-red and gold colours are flying from balconies, bars and cars throughout most of the country.

Even in Catalonia, a region with its own distinct culture and language and which has traditionally been disdainful of the Spanish national team, there was growing enthusiasm.

Authorities in the Catalan capital of Barcelona agreed for the first time during the tournament to set up a giant outdoor screen for the match Sunday.

In the northeastern town of Pamplona, the fervour over this week’s annual San Fermin festival, which includes “running of the bulls”, was mixed with excitement at Sunday’s World Cup final.

Social networking is here to stay and Facebook has provided that avenue through which people are getting to know the exact nuances of social networking.

Initially, India was amongst those countries where Facebook had not made an entry. But things changed soon and today Facebook has become a household name; so much so that it has beaten YouTube and Flickr and emerged the top favourite.

In India, Facebook is blooming very fast. Google’s Orkut has now been sidetracked. The immensely popular social networking site is leading Indian photo and video sharing as far as unique visitors are
concerned.

Flickr had never been there as such. Therefore Facebook’s main competitor had been YouTube and Orkut; both Google products.

Within a very short span, the latter got wiped out by Facebook. Going by the trend let me tell you that Facebook is here to stay for quite sometime now!

The film undoubtedly has brilliant performances by Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi and Vidya Balan among others.

The riveting storyline and splendid songs of the film has not only managed to get a good response at the box office in India, but also won loads of appreciation from critics.

Hiren Gada, Director, Shemaroo Entertainment, shares his thoughts on the occasion “It feels pride to know that Ishqiya is going to be screened at IFFL.

It seems that Ishqiya has made place in every heart world wide and hope people’s love with Ishqiya continues even in days to come.”

The IFFL 2010 is the first major film festival to be held in London Along with the popular and offbeat cinema of Bollywood and regional India, the IFFL seeks to introduce audiences to the lesser-known cinematic traditions of the region, showcasing an array of powerful and dazzling productions from Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Additionally, the IFFL aims to build and strengthen cultural and commercial bridges between the film industries of Britain and India, encouraging exchange of ideas and facilitating meetings between film professionals and investors.

The inaugural Festival, the IFFL 2010, will be held from 25 – 29 August 2010 at London’s historic Riverside Studios.

Hollywood actor Ben Stiller was bowled over by Sonam’s beauty and is all set to cast her in his film called “30 Minutes or Less.” Ben has approached Sonam for the offer.

But since she is busy with the promotion of her upcoming film “Aisha” as well as with the shooting of films like “Mausam” opposite Shahid Kapoor and “Thank You” opposite Akshay Kumar, this Hollywood project is sure to get delayed.

Apart from this Sonam is flooded with other Hollywood offers as well.

Director Satish Kaushik always had a problem in portraying his female characters. He is of the view that the female protagonist should be very adoring, love-crazy girl without a spine or a mind.

The story of the film revolves around Priya (Kareena Kapoor) who describes her life’s role which is to find her Mr Perfect, have 2 kids, and look after her home and her family.

A tarot card reader predicts and tells her that she will meet the love of her life within 7 days at 7am and he will be wearing 7 colors.

She falls in love with her ideal man Immy (Shahid Kapoor) but soon she finds out that Immy had been manipulating her all this while.

Priya decides to check her destiny as to whether they both are actually meant for each other or was it just a mere infatuation. They both part ways by saying and signing off, “If we’re meant to find each other, we’ll find each other’s numbers.”

After three long years they are still in love with one another despite any means of contact. In the film Shahid plays the role of a lover-boy with his common expressions whereas Kareena’s character is utterly boring.

It is her effervescence that makes up for her feeble character sketch. Keeping with the style of those years, Kareena appears in garnish make up and blonde highlights.

The pairing up of Shahid and Kareena is the only factor that grabs the attention of the audiences.
