Big challange for brave people by Ram Gopal Varma:

Director of the film phoonk2 Ram Gopal Varma claims that Phoonk2 is scarier than Phoonk. He claims that a person who can watch the movie without being scared can win 500,000.

He furthert says:

"I am sure Phoonk 2 is very, very scary and I am sure no one would leave the theatre without getting scared. So we will do a contest under some scientific observation".

Contest procedure:

"A person who pretends himself brave will be shown Phoonk2 alone in theature.He will be attached to an ECG machine to monitor his heart beat and the machine will be connected to a screen outside the hall. If his heart beat stays normal, he will win Rs 500,000"

Contest judges:

The doctor says if an average man is subjected to extreme emotion, his heart beat goes up and one of the emotions could be fear. So, if a man sitting in a theatre is not showing any physical activity except watching a film and while watching the film, if his heart beat goes up, it will be something in response to what he watches on screen. In a film like Phoonk 2 the emotion will be only fear.

He replied "Firstly, the person who would dare enter this contest will have to sign a bond where it will mentioned that we are not responsible for his death.

Latest medical research: Further education is the way to handle Memory loss

Further education helps the person to overcome dementia, say scientists. People who carry on their study after graduation appear to be less affected by brain changes as compared to those who ceases education early.

Dementia, which causes memory loss and confused thinking, affects more than 800,000, mostly older people, in the UK. More than half have Alzheimer's, the most common form of the disease.

Further education has reduced the risk of dementia by 11%. In the following research the brain of 872 people was examined for research by Eclipse(Epidemiological Clinicopathalogical Studies in Europe).
Of the donors, 56 per cent were suffering from dementia when they died, the scientists reported.

Once again an association was found between more education and less risk of dementia symptoms. But surprisingly, education appeared to have no impact on levels of dementia-associated brain damage.

One of the leading factors for the Lindsay freedom are crowd of her fans, media circus around her and also press authorities.

Lindsay was expected to be released around August 1-2, or under 14 days of her 90-day sentence. Not the worst deal - and she may even beat that now.

There is hope the actress could even be released this weekend, if her attorneys can swing it. No word if they'll be successful, but they're certainly trying.

Bollywood update: The fake Usama bin laden appeared(Tere bin Ladin short story)

Noida based Pradhuman Singh Mall never thought in his wildest dreams that he’d be playing the comic character of the most wanted man on the face of the earth! But as you have it director /writer Abhishek Sharma of the sleeper hit Tere Bin Laden would have it no other way!

Short story of film:

Walkwater’s Tere Bin Laden is a tongue-in-cheek comedy about an ambitious young news reporter from Pakistan who comes across an Osama Bin Laden look alike. A scheme is hatched to produce a fake Osama video and sell it to news channels as a breakthrough scoop!

Unfortunately there are serious ramifications as the White House gets involved and dispatches an overzealous secret agent on Osama’s trail.

The actor who received rave reviews for his performance as the ‘Fake Osama Bin Laden’ goes unrecognized even today thanks to the handiwork of Vikram Gaikwad and Rajesh Sharma the makeup artists of the film.

Pradhuman says, “I had done theatre during my student days with Abhishek Sharma. He had this fuzzy image of me and that it resembled Osama. Though Abhishek had moved to Mumbai, he managed to locate me. He began with a show reel of Osama and said this is what I want you to be act in the film. I was taken aback! A look test followed and the resemblance was uncanny. Initially I did have apprehensions about doing the role and if there would be any backlash but it was just for a movie”.

News of him playing the controversial role was kept under wraps even from his family and friends who were told only once the promos of the film hit screens.

Confirms Pradhuman, “It was only when the promos were out did I tell my family. They were shocked but could not believe that I could have pulled off playing the most wanted man on earth. Now I have to show my real face to the industry”.
