Have you ever had sex with a prostitute?

This is the story of a bold new India. The newly launched "Sach Ka Saamna" or the Indian version of "Moment of Truth" on Star Plus is the program to watch for this season. If you ever wanted to make a confession in front of your own and the world, this is the time. Just check out the questions being asked to actor, Yusuf Hussain in front of his family, his daughter, his son-in-law, brother, current girlfriend, and ex-wife.



Host Rajeev Khandelwal asks him various questions related to the various aspects of his life. It starts with lighter one exploring his love for soft bed sheets available in 5-star hotels like has he ever stolen a bed sheet from a hotel to the question revolving around his personality and his constant need to seek attention to a more personal one.

Just look at this questions and Mr. Hussain's answers:
1. Are you embarrassed accepting your real age?
Yes was the answer.

2. Did you ever steal a blanket from a Hotel?
Yes is the answer.

3. Does it bother you if you don't recieve compliments often?
Yes.

4. Are you still waiting for the girl of your dreams?
The question was being asked in front of his current girlfriend and ex-wife and the answer was yes.

Do you think that you could have done more to your family than just sending them money?
The question was skipped as his brother pressed the buzzer. So, the next question.

5. In your three marriages did you ever try to save at least one marriage?
No.

6. Do you think that you were the best son to your mother?
With his brother sitting in front and the answer was yes.

7. If your father were alive would he be proud of you?
Yes.

8. Do you believe that you third wife Kanchan married you only for your money?
Answer is yes with Kanchan siting in front of him.



9. Out of your 3 wives, who you was most close with?
None of them, was the answer.

10. Do you have a child outside the wedlock?
Answer is yes with his family sitting in front of him and the answer is supported by the reasoning that he had a couple of physical relationship with that lady and so he is not really sure if the the child is own or not but he accepts that he has an illegitimate child.

11. Have you ever had sex with a prostitute?
Yes, was the answer.

12. Did you ever have sex with a girl younger than your daughter's age?
Yes, was the answer.

There were a lot more questions apart from these. Just want to ask you one question, when was the last time in India you were asked one of these questions publicly. I mean, the format of show is very cool and compact and as it says world's simplest game and yet the most difficult one. You just keep telling truth and Rs. 1 crore is all yours. Is there any more easier way to earn 1 crore by just accepting your truth in front of the world, but still people falters and go back to 0 after having earned as much as 10 lakh rupees. I mean this is hard to understand that you know you will lose a fortune by just telling one lie and will earn a fortune by telling 25 truths and still you can't dare to be truthful. What does this mean. That you can't dare to say truth even if someone is willing to give you 1 crore rupees. That simply proves the fact that the most difficult thing to do in the world is to say truth. Up until now, one had thought that you can earn money only by telling lies and doing something wrong but here you can earn a fortune by just telling truth and people are not able to do so. Hope, someone is truthful enough to earn Rupees One Crore.

Fiza adds spice to Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao

Fiza Chand Mohammad, earlier Anuradha Bali, has replaced Negar Khan as a last-minute change and what a replacement!!! She has already started turning heads a la Rakhee Sawant in Big Boss 1 and Sambhavana Seth in Big Boss 2 with her fighting skills that people in the world have already seen through her interviews to media after the sensational Mills and Boon style eloping with the son of Haryana's Deputy CM and then changing religion and then getting married and then getting divorced via SMS. I mean who else can add so much spice to a reality show that is meant to generate controversies by showing skin and gossips and a little bit of jungle adventure. Sony Entertainment Television has its stakes high on the show and the way show has begun, I think Fiza will turn out to be the most watchable celeb on the show...take my words. Here is what she said upon joining the show, "I was the last-minute entry to the show. Initially, I was a bit hesitant as all the rest are from the showbiz world. Hopefully, I will last for a week or so! In the past few months, I have been under the media scanner due to my ex-hubby Chand Mohammed. I wonder what will be said now!"

And now hear Fiza and Palak talking about Chand.



And if didn't already have enough of the masala, Fiza started fighting with Akashdeep Saigal and now you can very well imagine why Chand Mohammad eloped with her, changed his religion, married her, and then soon divorced her afraid of her fighting ways, which comes naturally to her being a lawyer by profession. Indian TV viewers are about to see some scintillating stuffs on the idiot box that might generate some political controversies as well.

Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao - Big Boss in Jungle

Yesterday, a new reality show (or should we say a new soap) started on Sony TV. You know, after seeing all those exciting promos before the launch I was really excited to see the show and was hoping to find some cool jungle adventure a la Discovery or Nat Geo style, but what a crap...It is just like they have set up a set in some garden (they claim it to be in Malaysia) and have put in some so-called celebrities (I wonder if anybody knows Ishq Bector or Palak or Mona Vasu) in their to survive on their own. The show is an Indianized version of popular British Reality show "I'm a Celebrity…Get Me out of Here!" But, to me it is just like wrapping the Big Boss content in a new foil and present to the audience as something new. The participants have been trained to create controversies like Anaida and Shweta Tiwari made in their own ways shouting for salts and gown. They have to perform certain tasks in order to earn food to survive, so Chetan Hansraj picks up stars out of snakes, fish intestines, and all those insects that just gives you a throw-up feeling as it comes exactly at your dinnertime and I am sure if you keep watching the show and continue to eat, you will end up throwing up all the cool stuffs you have eaten. The show has started with its share of skin show where Mona Vasu and Shweta Tiwari are being shown to take shower in open in the bare minimum. I think, our culture police is watching that also and soon we might see some political issues coming up and so the show is all set to garner enough publicity and thus will surely soar the TRP soon, but in my opinion we are going to witness the worst reality show on TV as the coming days will prove my apprehension and soon the show will be named "In Junglio se Mujhe Bachao."

Die Hard 4 Virus from Korea

Remember Die Hard 4, the Bruce Willis starrer, where the villain tries to take the United States' technological infrastructure offline over a period of 3 days, first taking control of the traffic network system, then taking over the banking and networking system, and finally sabotaging the power grids bringing the mighty US to succumb down to the pressure of the hacker. It seems like the hackers have taken over the plot straight away from the movie and in fact are trying to put that into action.

The thing started in South Korea where an attack by hackers on hundreds of web sites almost clogged the websites in the United States. These cyber attacks have affected the functioning of the major U.S. government Web sites including White House, departments of Homeland Security, Defense and Treasury, and the Voice of America. The hackers have not tried to steal information from these websites giving the information that they just want to suggest to the authorities that if they want they can cripple the might Uncle Sams from the tips of their fingers and thus bringing the United States government functioning to a standstill. As per the South Korean officials, the attacks might have originated from North Korea but no one has been able to confirm it. In fact, to find the originator might be just impossible because the brains behind these attacks just spread the virus from one PC to another and all the PCs, somewhere around 40,000, ask for the same information from a particular website at the same time and thus causing the processing of that information a real mess. This results in slowing down of that particular website and ultimately results in showing the result as website not found.

The motive behind this kind of attack, what I think, is to show to the world that hackers can slow down the functioning of world economy and administration from the tips of their fingers and so the developers be beware of them and install adequate safeguards at the inception of the software logic to fight against them.

Emma Watson does a Marilyn Monroe

The much-hyped soon to be 20-year-old "Harry Potter" actress Emma Watson, considered too young to go on date with by Daniel Radcliffe" made many onlookers' heart to stop when her dress flew up to expose her nude-colored underwear beneath her beautiful designer gown. Thanks God, she was wearing something inside unlike many of her Hollywood counterparts who just dare to be bare minimum in their gown. Though this was an unconventional style statement by the 5 feet 6 inches tall goddess in the windy London premiere of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the actress remained unphased by the incident and in fact handled the situation so graciously that many believed to thought that this was a very smart intentional maneuver from the lady to shed off her teenage girl image and be game to a a bit more risque. The wardrobe malfunction has certainly earned the lady one of the top searches on the search engine, so good start for Emma to walk out of the Harry Potter stable and be featured in more mainstream Hollywood movies.

Michael Jackson was a pervert

This is what Pete King, a New York Congressman, has said about the King of Pop after having enough of media coverage given to Michael Jackson.





"Hi, this is Congressman Pete King. Yesterday I marched in two Fourth of July parades in Wantagh and Massapequa Park. Today I was taking a walk through Wantagh here at the American Legion hall, fire house down the street, a fire memorial a few blocks from here. It really reminded me of the great men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. People fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, cops, firefighters, teachers, none of whom really get much credit. Yet for the last, I don’t know how long now, this lowlife, Michael Jackson, his name, his face, his picture is all over the newspapers and television, radio, it’s all we hear about is Michael Jackson. Let’s knock out the psychobabble. He was a pervert, a child molester, he was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country? I just think we’re too politically correct. No one wants to stand up and say we don’t need Michael Jackson. He died, he had some talent, fine. There’s men and women dying every day in Afghanistan. Let’s give them the credit they deserve. I really think the media has disgraced itself. I think that too many people in public life have made fools out of themselves by talking about Michael Jackson as if he’s some kind of hero. There’s nothing good about this guy. He may have been a good singer, he did some dancing. Bottom line is, would you let your child or grandchild be in the same room with Michael Jackson? What are we glorifying him for? So anyway, lets take some time out to really look to the people who do make us a great country. The men and women of the armed forces, police, firefighters, teachers who work in really rough neighborhoods. People who volunteer with dying cancer patients, people who work in aids clinics. They’re the ones we should be glorifying, not some pervert like Michael Jackson."

This video has not gone too well the die-hard MJ's fans and in fact the speech is bit too harsh especially now that King of Pop is no more, but still I think media across the globe operates in the same fashion. Celebrity news is the number one priority across the globe for all media channel and in doing that they just forget that there are other more important things also to be given adequate coverage and not only talking about some celebrities. Give your honest reviews about this sensational speech given by a Congressman against perhaps the most popular Pop star the world will ever see particularly after his death.

Kambakkht Ishq is one for the trash bin

The much awaited Akki-Kareena starrer with Sylveter Stallone in a guest appearance first time in Bollywood finally hit the celluloid this Friday and being 2 of the hottest stars in Bollywood circuit coming together after the mighty disaster Tashan, the expectations are high that this movie might hit the bull's eye. In fact, the movie is more in news because of a lip-locking scene between Akki and Kareena that has generated enough heat even before the release of the movie.



Here are some reviews for Kambakht Ishq for people going to watch this movie this week:

Kambakkht Ishq is one for the trash bin.


The story got left behind, far behind. What story, you may ask? And a good question it would be. I can't find a single nice thing to say about a film. Not a line, not one joke. What can you do when the maker's aim is to make an awful film? It runs literally dead slow and has not as much as an iota to savor.


Kambakkht Ishq hits an all-new low in several departments. First, it could easily win the award for the silliest story-line for sure. And here we come to the second abysmal point. Never has a



Hindi film script ever been so derogatory towards women. Silly point number three: the Hollywood connection is a complete sham.

Watching the promos and the huge hype the makers have managed to create about their film, your expectation levels are high when you enter but as you come out you do feel that it is nothing more than a dumb entertainer that tries to take you too much for granted. It may take a great start at the box office but the crowds will vanish from Monday once the hype begins to settles down.

Well, nothing has changed. Kambakht Ishq directed by Sabbir Khan is the same old, typical Akshay Kumar comedy flick. Expensive sets, 4 odd songs filled with babes from the west, a couple of great action sequences performed by the star himself, a super sexy co-star, funny one-liners and a story that completely lacks sense or logic.

Kambakht Ishq was expected to be a success duw to its star cast - Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor and the love story line. Film is a hit among young movie goers. The movie is also unique as it has Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone in real life kind of roles.

The another controversy surrounding the movie is that the story idea being similar the hit 2002 Tamil movie starring Kamal Haasan and Simran "Pammal K Sambandham" and some copyright issues, though director of Kambakht Ishq Shabbir Kumar has clarified that he has acquired the rights from the original Tamil movie producer. I think Kambakht Ishq has managed to hit every stones required to make a film hit, but ultimately any film runs on its story telling and according to critics' reviews, the movie should bomb, but you never know with Akshay Kumar's movies where a complete nonsensical flick "Singh is King" became one of the biggest blockbusters of 2008. So, just go ahead and watch the movie this week and give your review as well.

Is Michael Jackson alive?

Well, that's what a vast population on Internet is thinking and even Television channels beaming the news like anything. Jacko is getting ready to be cremated at the Staples House but news channels are showing a new story, of course courtesy Internet, that MJ faked his death and the person dead was his body double with his face changed to MJ's through plastic surgery. Now, this is one bullshit that nobody is going to believe, but believe me everyone has been listening to this news with great sort of speculation as if they are again going to see Moon walker live on stage. The same rumour spread after Saddam Hussain was hanged that the person caught and hanged was not actually Saddam but his duplicate. The rumor mongers have given a very convincing reasoning behind MJ being alive that he just wants to begin a new life under a new name and new face so that he can get rid of all the debts he had and is now living in an 8-story bunker somewhere...

Well...let's forget all these rumors. Let us all give the king the warmest send-off we can. Everyone is trying to cash on even after MJ's death. In fact, even Michael Jackson's last will is now available on Internet for people to read. Now, even a deadly e-mail virus claiming to contain MJ's unrecorded songs and photos in a zip file is circulating on Internet.

As per Sophos, The email comes with the subject "Remembering Michael Jackson" and is sent from "sarah@michaeljackson.com." It tells recipients that an attached file titled "Michael songs and pictures.zip" contains secret songs and photos of the pop music icon, who died of a heart attack in the United States on June 25.

Sophos has warned computer users not to open the attachment. "By opening the attachment, computer users are exposed to infection. Once infected, a computer will begin automatically spreading the worm onto other Internet users." Besides spreading via email, Sophos experts note that the malware is also capable of spreading as an Autorun component on USB memory sticks.

So, even the hackers are now trying to cash on the immense popularity of the King of Pop. It's my humble appeal to everyone let MJ's soul lie in peace...

What is a Paid-to-surf or PTC site?

Back to late 1990s, Internet industry was a big business at that time. Anyone with a little bit of knowledge was making big bucks on Internet. Paid-to-surf or Paid-to-click concept also arrived at the same time. The concept was very simple. Advertisers will place ads on one of these PTC sites and these PTC sites will attract people to join the site as a member and be paid at a rate of 0.01 cents to 0.02 cents and get paid as soon as one makes $1 to $10 depending upon that particular website internal policy. These PTC sites were a huge success and even the members earned a handsome amount of money. But, come 2000, and there came the Dot-Com crash and people started losing big money on Internet, PTC sites started getting closed, and thousands of members were never actually paid because PTC sites shut their shop and just disappered like anything.

One of the most successful PTC companies in the late 1990s was AllAdvantage, being launched in March 1999, the company made a meteoric rise in the Internet industry with over 13 million members in just a year's time employing MLM system to get new members. This system was a huge hit and hundreds of PTC sites followed trying to duplicate AllAdvantage's success, but a very few of them could actually manage to survive and make profit to themselves and the members. Even AllAdvantage shut the shop after 18 months but not before paying out its members a whooping US$160 million to its members.

Here are my personally selected list of PTC sites operating successfully today and paying out their members regularly without fail. So, if you are an active Internet surfer and just want to earn a little dollars while surfing, you can join one of these PTC sites below and get paid periodically a small amount but definitely some

Bux.gs

You can join any one of them or all of them for free and check out yourself whether you get some money or not. I think one should not invest any money on these sites but one must join and surf to see how much they get paid and then decide whether to continue with these PTC sites or not.
