Are Kim and Kanye compatible?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly dating each other. Kim has always been public about her relationships and love life, but this time she seems to have kept things under wraps. What has led to this change? Is it Kanye or has Kim really changed her ways?

After breaking off her marriage within 72 days with Kris Humphries, Kim is all set to her new love life with the R & B singer. Their wedding was a widely publicised affair but due to irreconcilable differences, Kim and Kris decided to part ways. Apparently, Kim's public life was too much to handle for the humble Humphries. He belonged to a small town and wasn't used to the paparazzi following them everywhere. Viewers of the show 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' also felt that the duo didn't make a good match as they had nothing much in common.

According to Kim, Kanye will not be a major part of the show the way Humphries was. She doesn't plan on flaunting her love for the rapper the way sis Khloe does for husband Lamar.

Will the Kanye-Kim romance last or will it fizzle with time? Read more and find out!

What makes them supermoms?

Mere paas maa hai - One may wonder how this very simple dialogue from the film Deewar can become immensely popular and powerful. Had there been no maa in this line, it would not have been that impactful. That's what mothers can do. They are very special for us and even for our Bollywood superstars. We bring to you some of our superstars and their supermoms, who have sacrificed a lot to raise up these stars.

Salma and Salman Khan:
You can partly blame Salman Khan's mother Salma for his bachelorhood as he was always looking for his mother in all his ex-girlfriends. As his father Salim Khan revealed in a TV Channel, "You need two people for a marriage. There's a contradiction in Salman's character. He gets attracted to women from his industry only...his co-stars become his love interests. Once a relationship is established, he starts looking for his mom in them. Now that is not possible. A woman who has just started her career can't be doing stuff like preparing meals, washing clothes, preparing kids and yet lead the hectic life of a movie star!" Sallu is maa ka ladla but if he does anything wrong, she still gives him a tight slap. Being a Capricorn, Salman is a bit...Read more!

It's all about Taurus

Shy, stubborn, stable, lazy, loyal, reserved - all these characteristics defined a Taurus. Want to discover more about this sunsign, which is represented by bull? Read on and find out everything about being a Taurean or about a person with this zodiac sign in your life.

Personality: Taureans like to be rooted -- whether it is your environment, work, home or your opinions. Thus you are a picture of stability to some and to others you can be stubborn, with a mind closed to new ideas and a certain unwillingness to change. But it works both ways, you are determined and do not easily buckle under pressure and adversity. You are patient, loyal and caring. Like the bull that represents your zodiac sign, you will be slow to anger but once annoyed, you will rage and turn ferocious. There is no stopping you then. Like fire, you can be a good friend and a bad enemy; you can also be quite shy and reserved. Ruled by Venus, you seek the pleasure of the senses and to you, being a true admirer of beauty, material comforts are far more important than for other zodiac signs. Read more

Meet Arjun Kapoor

Move over from Ranbir Kapoor, folks. Here, we have another Kapoor kid on the block, all set to create a storm in Bollywood. Well, we are talking about Boney Kapoor's son and Sonam Kapoor's cousin Arjun Kapoor. Stylish, good looking, talented, confident - he has everything it takes to be a star.

And if you think he's got his first film Ishaqzaade, produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF), because of his starry background, you have it all wrong. Young people in India are addicted to Facebook and Arjun is no different. The social networking site has been behind his big Bollywood break.

According to media reports, YRF's casting director Shanoo Sharma came across his profile on Facebook and immediately decided to meet him, without knowing that he's Boney Kapoor's son. And after meeting him, they were convinced that only he can do justice to the character of Parma. So, it's not a story of a rich producer papa launching his son, as many would like to believe.

Sanjay B Jumaani,
Celebrity Numerologist

Mukesh Ambani's a Number 1

Mukesh Ambani, born on April 19, 1957 is a number 1 and here's what celebrity Numerologist Sanjay B Jumaani had to say about how the number 1 influences a person's luck and lends them with skills that so many desire but lack.

No 1, Sun & No 9, Mars - two Pillars of the Numbers game are both fiery planets that make a person possess leadership skills. Skills very evident in Mukesh Ambani.

Today, 19/04 is a day Governed by both Sun & Mars (Aries Ruler). 19/11 also a 1 & 9 combo as Scorpio Ruler No 9.

19/11 also the B'day of 4 great personalities who shone in their fields - Indira Gandhi, Dara Singh, Zeenat Aman & Ms Universe Sushmita Sen.

Bill Gates (28/10) & Miss World Aishwarya Rai (1/11) are also No 1 Scorpions. Worlds Richest Man, Carlos Slim Helu; a No 1 (28/1) Ratan Tata 28/12, (Richest Indian Corporate) Dhirubhai Ambani a Double 1. (28+12+1932=1 too) 2nd Richest is again a No 1, Bill Gates.

Lata (28/9) in Music, Sanjeev Kapoor as Chef, Shiamak as Dance Guru, Abhinav 1st Olympic Gold, Kalmadi (10/5) as 'ComonWealth' Champ, A Raja, tele'phony' King (10/5) all leaders in their field! Osama (10/3) a No 1 too!

Predictions for Harbhajan Singh

The fun, the fever, the noise, the cheering crowds, er, cheer leaders are back once again. In short, the IPL mania returns. Also back with IPL 5 is our turbanator Harbhajan Singh urf Bhajji in action. Haven't we missed him on the field?

This time, Bhajji enters the cricket field with added responsibilities. With Sachin Tendulkar handing over him the captainship of Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League this season, he has dual roles to play. He has to contribute not only as a team member but also show his leadership skills.

Bhajji as a captain! Now, how well could a cricketer, who is rough and loud and whose controversies have overshadowed his bowling records, lead a side that has some of the world's greatest cricketers? Well, this question runs through the quizzical mind of every cricket fan.

Is he the right choice? It may be too early to draw a conclusion on this but we already had a glimpse of him as a leader. He had successfully led the Mumbai Indians to Champions League Twenty20 triumph in 2011. So having already won a tournament, wouldn't it be wrong to doubt his credibility as a captain?

Injuries and his inconsistent performance may hit roadblocks in his career, but undoubtedly he is still a menace for the batsmen. His opponents know very well how this turbanator can turn out to be a tornado, if it's his day.

Astrologically speaking, Harbhajan (July 3, 1980) belongs to the sun sign Cancer with 3 as his ruling number. This number is governed by the Planet Jupiter. Born under this number, he will be lucky in financial matters and will get plenty of opportunities for career advancement. And indeed, he did get it!

From his bowling action being closely examined by ICC to facing the charge of being racist, this man has seen the worst. It is only through his perseverance and hard work that today; he has the second-highest number of Test wickets by an off spinner, behind Muttiah Muralitharan.

He is usually lucky in life. He is able to attract all that is good towards him. He is adaptable and multitalented (sometimes, he does let his bat do the talking). He has oodles of confidence and is self-reliant. His ambition, leadership and drive will always motivate him to strive for constant improvements in his professional life. Whether he sledged, slapped or called his opponent 'Maa ki' - hate him or love him but you can't ignore Harbhajan Singh, who's ever ready to give his best and 'make it large'.

Sona kitna Sona hai

Spot the difference!

Sona kitna Sona hai!

Mumbai Indians were suggested by me to add more Gold as It represents No 1, Sun, leadership.
Richest Indian, Mukesh Ambani is a No 1 (19/4) as also wife Nita (1/11)...

Did u notice their Numbers on jerseys were now in Gold instead of White?
Will post my favorites for the last 4 qualifiers soon, so keep watching this space!

God Bless

What happens when Pluto turns retrograde?

What happens when Pluto turns retrograde?

This April 10, the god of the underworld and of wealth, Pluto is going retrograde in Capricorn until September 18, 2012. With the planet moving backwards through the zodiac, does this occurrence warn of some dire consequences? Should you hit the panic button fearing that this phase has only bad things to offer?

Relax; this planetary movement is not as bane as one presumes. Let it sink into your mind that the retrogression of planet does not always bring with it a baggage of unexpected troubles and problems. The good news is that it does also have some goodies in store for you. So, what really to expect from this planetary phase?

Say goodbye to outdated and old methods of functioning and say hello to a new one. This retro phase urges you to let go of what is old and embrace the new. You may need to discard your traditional approach towards all sorts of things. This phase calls for flexibility and adaptability to the change happening around you. Try to adapt to the change as fast as possible as it will go on to reap rich dividends for you.

When Pluto goes retrograde, you become far more intense and your concentration level increases. You start looking at things in a whole new manner. You may get suspicious of the motives of others and start seeing more than there actually is. And as you know, life is not always a bed of roses; get yourself prepared as this phase will test you to the hilt. With Pluto in Capricorn, your strength, organisational ability, leadership quality will be tested in both your professional and personal life. Now, that's exhausting! But you should not succumb to these pressures.

Under this influence, even a person suffering from a major illness can expect to make a fast recovery. Since, the retrograde motion is directed towards your inner activity, if any negativity runs through your mind, it will have its repercussion on your physical strength. You will benefit from the fact that you will have a healthier mind during this time. Heave a sigh of relief, this phase will lighten the heavy emotional baggage that you have been carrying.

Spirituality or soul searching will interest you. Your investigative powers come to the front and you are a lot more careful in dealing with people or work. Overall, this is a positive phase and if you are hoping to get some new and exciting opportunities, it may just happen during this period.

Will Vettel rule again?

Reigning F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel has been having a tough season so far. The youngest driver ever to win the World Drivers' Championship, Vettel has won the championship in 2010 and 2011. The German racer was born on 3 July 1987, in West Germany. He belongs to the zodiac sign Cancer. Being a water sign, traits that one can associate with this brilliant racer are hyper sensitivity, kindness and generosity. His recent behaviour may indicate otherwise, but hidden behind that tough exterior is a person that is highly emotional and sensitive.

2006 was a crucial year for Vettel. He joined the BMW Sauber team as a third driver at the 2006 Turkish Grand Prix. Vettel's impressive testing debut was an indication of how the young racer was going to be in the near future. He set the fastest time in second Friday Free Practice before the race. The following year, he was confirmed as a test driver for BMW. Vettel soon got an opportunity to replace Kubica at the United States Grand Prix as Kubica was injured in a serious crash. Starting at seventh position on the grid, he finished the race at 8th position. This was the time when Vettel had scored his first World Championship point, becoming the youngest ever to do so. He was aged 19 years and 349 days.

2007 with Torro Rosso was a challenging and difficult year for the German racer. He couldn't manage a podium finish but managed a career best of 4th at the Chinese Grand Prix. Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz saw the makings of a star in Vettel and was quoted saying, "Vettel is one of the young guys with extraordinary potential. He is fast, he is intelligent, and he is very interested in the technical side."

In 2009, Vettel began racing for Red Bull and replaced the retired David Coulthard. He continued with Red Bull in 2010. With wins at the Malaysian Grand Prix, the European Grand Prix, Brazilian Grand Prix and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Vettel took home the driver's championship and became the youngest F1 world champion in history. 2011 again was a great year for him and he continued to defend his title in style. He surpassed his own record of accumulating the highest number of championship points in a season by leading in the 2011 championship with 259 points, even with seven races left! If there's one man who's hell bent on smashing records, its Vettel.

This year again, Vettel remained in Red Bull and continued his partnership with Webber. With two races over, Vettel has not had a fabulous start, but there's still time for Vettel to crawl his way back to the top. Currently, he's placed sixth in the Drivers' standings with 18 points – 6 points behind Webber (fourth) and 17 points behind Alonso, who's leading at the moment. His behaviour at the Malaysian Grand Prix was criticised by many and in this rain affected race he finished 11th following a collision with Narain Karthikeyan. Post-race Vettel had criticised Narain's driving and called him an "idiot" and Karthikeyan hit back, calling Vettel a "cry baby". Karthikeyan is however, eager to put the spat behind him and move on.

Vettel remains a strong contender but he refuses to make any promises. Astrologically, opportunities are strongly indicated for Vettel and there is a possibility that his performance will improve tremendously as the season progresses. Tough conditions are indicated to come in the way though. He needs to think on his feet and take the right decisions to retain his championship title. Controversies are indicated ahead, but Vettel needs to focus and let his performance do the talking.

Everything about Aries

How much do you know about the first sign of the zodiac, Aries? The symbol of Aries is the Ram and the ruling planet is Mars. The influence of Mars makes this astrological sign a bit headstrong, determined and hot headed. If you are an Aries, get to know more about yourself or discover more about an Aries man or woman in your life. Get up close and personal with an Aries!

Personality: You love to take on new challenges and even lead the way, offering new ideas and finding easy solutions to problems that might seem baffling to others. But in all this, you can't be rushed; you certainly cannot work with someone breathing down your neck. Given the freedom, you will enjoy the challenge and do your best. Although you are a pleasant company, you may not be the most popular person around, but that is something you don't take to heart. For you, it is more important to be honest and to be able to speak your mind.

Love: When in love, you don a pair of rose-tinted glasses and the world is a magical place for you. The idea of romance captivates you and you ignore all else to be near your beloved. Candlelight dinners, soft music, slow dances, late night walks hand in hand by the light of the moon on remote windswept beaches - everything is possible, and it does not stop there, Aries will profess undying love for their beloved - a promise they are most likely to keep. Your ideal life partners are most likely to be other Aries, Leos, Sagittarians, or Scorpios.

Erotic zones: The head is your most powerful pleasure zone. You are all charged up when your partner strokes or just plays with your hair or rubs your scalp. And to all women! If your partner is an Aries, just nibble his ear, this will give him strong uncontrollable urges.

Aries woman: You are a highly passionate woman and enjoy taking the lead in everything. You will not hesitate in making the first move. You enjoy male companionship. You will make your man understand your motives and enjoy watching his reactions to your moves. The seduction of a man to you is a conquest, even if he is a man in whom you have only a passing interest. You can have a long relationship, only with a man you can be proud of and look up to.

Aries man: You are masculine and have that strength in body, mind and character. You are gifted with a strong, muscular and athletic physique. Your courageous nature and confidence in your abilities prepares you for any life challenges. You are ready for anything adventurous and thrilling. You are highly imaginative and creative and can easily come out with new ideas and concepts.

Health: You are always on the move and don't have the time to eat sensibly. Your eating habits mirror your busy lifestyle: lots of starches and fats, not enough of proteins, vegetables and fresh fruits. You drive yourself very hard, always striving to reach the top, often landing yourself in stressful situations, resulting in related disorders: heart disease and stomach ailments. You are advised to set aside some time for eating nutritious, balanced meals at the right hour. You are most vulnerable around the head, eyes and face.

Profession: You make good professionals and generally do well leading from the front. Fields like engineering, medicine, space science and metallurgy are good places for an Aries. But you also belong in any job that may bring you recognition or attract attention to yourself. In a teamwork environment, you like to stand up and be counted; you certainly do not like to be ignored. Once a team member, you will never let your partners down.

Celebrity Aries: Chitrangada Singh

Seductive looks, superb acting skills and oodles of talent are how you define one of the most gorgeous actresses of Bollywood, Chitrangada Singh. This dusky Arian is one actress who packs a punch in both looks as well as her acting skills. Having bowled over one and all with a brilliant performance in Sudhir Mishra's Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, Chitrangada announced her arrival in Bollywood with an impressive debut.

She followed it up with another powerful performance in Kal: Yesterday and Tomorrow and soon had the entire tinsel town talking about her. But she soon disappeared from the scene for 3 years. She made her comeback in Onir's romantic comedy Sorry Bhai only to find her comeback film being marred by the Mumbai terror attacks the same week the film released. Chitrangada, however, was not someone to be deterred easily. She then featured in Sudhir Mishra's Yeh Saali Zindagi opposite acting powerhouse Irrfan Khan and reminded Bollywood of her astounding acting prowess. She also paired opposite Akshay Kumar in Desi Boyz.

The future of this dusky damsel in 2012, too, seems pretty promising with upcoming projects like Sudhir Mishra's Dhruv with Kareena Kapoor and Farhan Akhtar. With a director like Sudhir Mishra and co-stars like Kareena Kapoor and Farhan Akhtar, Chitrangada has only bright things to look forward to in 2012.

Born on March 28, 1976, she is an Aries with ruling number 1. This number is governed by the Sun and having born under it, she is highly original, active, energetic, motivated, artistic and brilliant. She is attracted towards the intellectual types. She is not likely to let her heart rule her head. She has an unyielding will power and carries out projects through to her logical conclusion. She is also fiercely self-reliant and self-sufficient.

In 2012, all her qualities come to the forefront post March. Her charisma will be at an all time high. She will make it to the top easily as she is innovative and enterprising. By constantly being active she can tire herself out and may have to deal with stress-related issues. April and May will be lucky months for her.

How do you like to holiday?

From bungee jumping to scuba diving; staying in a luxury hotel to camping; a love for high places and mountains, to being just happy near water - that's how different our ideas of ideal holidays could be. Some of us may resort to peaceful quiet holidays while for some, holidays are all about having fun and frolic. Every individual has a preferred style of holidaying. And this difference could just be the influence of zodiac signs that one belongs to. A Cancer's idea of a perfect holiday is totally opposite to that of a Capricorn. So, what's your ideal vacation like? Read on and you may just agree with what your zodiac signs have to say.

Aries: You love to explore new places that too at the speed of light. You often take the fastest means of transport to your destination. Adventurous holidays including water rafting, bungee jumping or horse riding is what drives you wild. Since the heat and energy level is high you naturally prefer cool places for holidays. The mountains are places you love to explore and visit, especially if there is a little cottage where you can shack up and rough it out!

Taurus: You are an earthy sign. The lush and rolling hills are ideal for holidaying but only in an out of this world resort where good living is high. Good comfortable living is your number one priority. Everything is pre-planned from ticket booking to hotel reservations. Basically you are homebodies so travelling to unknown places is not something you are always ready to do. A holiday in a familiar place or not too far away from your home ground is what you need.

Gemini: You love to travel with close friends and family in tow. Mercury the ruling planet wants constant interaction and mental stimulation. You get easily bored so you perfer to go on package tours. You would probably pack your cell phone, books, magazines and other essentials just in case you are caught in a situation that has you doing nothing! Television sets are a must in your room…you like to stay connected.

Cancer: You are always happy when you are near water. You love to swim, sail or boat on holidays. Water has an added attraction for you. You are not very adventurous where new places are concerned so you normally keep visiting the same destination over and over.

Leo: You love to holiday in style. You don't like roughing it out on holidays like trekking or cycling but instead want to be pampered with a good body massage or pedicure. You stretch your pockets to include a luxury cruise or a stay in a five star luxury hotel. You enjoy the thought of eating something exotic and people waiting on you hand and foot!

Virgo: You are basically worriers so before a holiday starts, you will be found with a list of things to do, places to see and if possible you would like to know if you can learn something useful like cooking, painting, etc. on holiday! At the back of your mind you feel guilty about wasting your time. So an environmental or educational holiday is just ideal for you.

Libra: For you a holiday must have style and elegance. You are made for glamour and luxury. Camping holidays are not your cup of tea; unless of course the tent is fully equipped with lots of trappings. The journey has to be short and comfortable. You don't much care for the idea of being on a train from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Physically you like to look good so stylish luggage with elegant clothes is a must.

Scorpio: You love to holiday in those exotic places that normally others don't go to. Visiting Pyramids in Egypt to the Great Wall of China would always appeal to you. You can withstand any climatic conditions. Package and guided tours are not your idea of holiday. You like to be different in the places you visit and your approach to holidaying.

Sagittarius: You dislike going for a peaceful, quiet holiday away from the hustle-bustle of the city. The idea is to have fun and frolic on holidays rather than lying with a book. You are born travelers so if possible you visit all the places given in a tourist book. You are open to having a trekking and camping holiday.

Capricorn: You love high places and blossom on mountains. Though you would love to go on a luxurious and comfortable holiday but you are equally frugal about spending money even on a holiday and keep your expenses in check. Even on holiday you keep yourself disciplined and active; no overindulgence for you. You enjoy historical places and the romance surrounding them.

Aquarius: You are not much of planners so generally the holidays you take are not pre-planned months ahead. In fact for you, planning takes away half the fun! You like to visit off beat places. Sitting cross-legged meditating and seeking inner peace is your idea of absolute heaven. Finding a partner for such a holiday may be a problem for you.

Pisces: You love water and would head straight for some beach resort. Perhaps scuba diving and water skiing on holiday is your dream holiday; though splashing around on the beach is your idea of fun too. You are generally very emotional and romantic so would love to holiday with your partner.

Understanding planets that rule you

All planets are on the move but which one is yours? People usually don’t understand the concept of time and planets but it’s something which influences the change. Like atmospheric and natural changes, it influences the change in human lives.

Planetary movements are directly related with human behaviour and their daily life. Your planet is moving while you are reading this article, and you are reading this under its influence. It all depends on the planet’s axis and collaboration with other planets.

Seven planets rule the seven days of a week:
Sun rules Sunday
Moon rules Monday
Mars rules Tuesday
Mercury rules Wednesday
Jupiter rules Thursday
Venus rules Friday
Saturn rules Saturday

SUN: Sun is also known as the ‘Planet of Self’ and this is the centre of existence.

Predictions for Scott Hamilton

Scott Hamilton, an American ice skater and a superlative Olympic figure skater, is known for his fancy footwork, the blurring speed of his spins and his trademark back flip. He was the winner of the U.S. Men's Championship in 1981 and 1982 and the World Championship in 1981 and 1982. Symbolizing eternal youth in skating with his charismatic energy and gnome-like and puckish features, he appears wispy and fragile at 5'3", 115 lbs. just seconds before blowing audiences away with his superlative skating; he is tremendously exciting in the arena.

Rule : The native gets health problems when he is running dashas ( Mahadasha or Antardasha ) of planet linked with 6th lord. This link could be PAC - Position , Aspect or Conjunction. Any inauspicious yoga ( Kendra or shadahtak ) formed with 6th lord is also bad for native's health.

As per the above health rule, the 6th lord is Saturn. Hence Saturn's MD ( Mahadasha period ) was expected to be bad for Scott. As readers are aware that mahadsha gives " broader period " while antardasha gives " smaller period " in main mahadasha. It is subdivision of mahadasha. Any particular AD will be good or bad - it depends on relation of MDL & ADL. The nature & position of planets in D1 chart plays an important role.

Vimsottari Dasa:

Sat MD: 1993-08-04 to 2012-04-26

Antardasas in this MD

Sat: 1993-08-04 to 1996-07-22 MDL & ADL are same Merc: 1996-07-22 to 1999-03-18 Kendra yoga + Navpancham yoga between MDL & ADL so health problem possible but native will survive due to Navpancham yoga

Since February 1997 Scott suffered from back and stomach pains. On March 16 he went to the doctor to find that he had testicular cancer that had spread to the abdomen. As he is a beloved big brother to other skaters, his colleagues rallied around him through the next three months of chemotherapy treatments.

On 6/24/1997, he had surgery to remove a cancerous growth on his abdomen in Cleveland, OH. His diagnosis remained positive, and he was expected to return to the ice in September. A fighter, he completely recovered but due to his five months of not skating, he says that his skill is "only 50% of what it was formerly." On 10/28/1997, he was back on the ice in front of 10,000 fans for a taped TV special.

Ket: 1999-03-18 to 2000-04-20 Shadashtak cum Samsaptak yoga between MDL & ADL.

Ven: 2000-04-20 to 2003-06-04 Navpancham yoga between MDL & ADL.

Sun: 2003-06-04 to - 2004-05-11 Kendra yoga between ADL & MDL. Planet Sun in Leo should give less inauspicious result. Some problem was expected.

Moon: 2004-05-11 to 2005-12-02 ADL is in 6th house. This will give native health problem.

On November 11, 2004, the skater was diagnosed with a one-inch non-cancerous brain tumor near his pituitary gland. On December 13, 2004 in Cleveland, OH, he underwent an intricate procedure that attacks the tumor with gamma radiation. The treatment at The Cleveland Clinic destroyed the tumor but the fluid-filled cyst that enclosed the growth is still there. Doctors are monitoring his condition hoping that the cyst will dissolve.

Mars: 2005-12-02 to - 2007-01-05 Shadashtak yoga but less harmful as Mars is in Aries. Planet in same rashi gives no damage.
Rah: 2007-01-05 to 2009-10-27 Rahu moves anticlockwise. So Ekrashyantar cum same rashi yoga between MDL & ADL. So no health problem was expected.
Jup: 2009-10-27 to 2012-04-26 ADL is in 12th position with respect to MDL Saturn. Vyaya yoga. Again the health problem was expected.

On June 23, 2010, Hamilton went into brain surgery to prevent the recurrence of the benign tumor discovered in 2004. Called craniopharyngioma, the tumour could have caused blindness if left untreated. On June 25, 2010 it was reported that Hamilton was resting comfortably in the hospital and was "Doing great".

Today in March 2012, Scott Hamilton must be a happy & healthy man as his bad dasha period is getting over next month. I wish him good health for future.

Love and sunsigns

So, what if Valentine's Day is over? The season of love continues as love never dies. Discover the romantic side in you with your zodiac sign. Go all romantic and sweep your partner of their feet. Make your partner fall in love with you all over again...

Aries:
When in love, you don a pair of rose-tinted glasses and the world is a magical place for you. The idea of romance captivates you and you ignore all else to be near your beloved. Candlelight dinners, soft music, slow dances, late night walks hand in hand by the light of the moon on remote windswept beaches - everything is possible, and it does not stop there, Aries will profess undying love for their beloved - a promise they are most likely to keep.

Taurus:
Taureans are family-oriented people and enjoy spending time with loved ones. Strong believers in fidelity and stable relationships, you can be romantic, attentive, tender, and affectionate. Rarely feeling the temptation to stray, you can be quite possessive and can indeed get jealous if your partner's attention wavers. The romance with your partner is something that will be of constant interest and is unlikely to die even when you settle down to the routines of married life.

Gemini:
Anyone romantically involved with you, even for a short while, is likely to find you affectionate, interesting, adventurous and a fun person to be with, but your fickle, almost uncaring attitude will manage to break many hearts before you finally settle down. You may be a notorious flirt, but it will be wonderful coming home to someone who has stood by you through all the highs and lows.

Cancer:
You are continually pulled into romance with those who are quite opposite to you in nature. You are strongly attracted to people who are confident, strong and successful. Although you fall in love all the time, your introvert nature and your uneasiness in disclosing your true feelings makes many of these affairs one-sided.

Leo:
You have a gregarious personality easily standing out in a crowd, always the centre of attention at social gatherings. You are often loud and brash and people often take offence to that. If your big ego doesn't get the better of you, you can be a warm and considerate person. You are a lover with style, wooing your beloved in the most elegant manner. You wine and dine them, shower expensive gifts and roll out the red carpet all the way.

Virgo:
Not the most passionate of signs, a Virgo's love life is rarely turbulent or stormy. You are not the kind who likes to cuddle and make a public display of affection but can be quite romantic in your own way. Your style of courtship includes sending a never ending stream of flowers and going to romantic dinners at quiet and elegant places.

Libra:
Emotional relationships are based on equal give and take. Librans tend to be involved in a number of affairs and sometimes their affection and friendship is misunderstood as something quite different. Librans like to have friends come over frequently for meals and parties; being good hosts, they ensure guests have a relaxed and comfortable time.

Scorpio:
You are among the best lovers, instinctively knowing what your partner wants. You are intense and passionate and none of your lovers will ever forget you. You will sweep many off with your magnetic charm. You will rarely distinguish between a passing fancy and true love. For you, it will always be a passionate involvement.

Sagittarius:
Although affectionate and loving, Sagittarians are not apt to be too demonstrative. Not much cuddling, showering of gifts, or saying it with roses - something that may be misconstrued as lack of warmth. However, you will make it exciting enough for your beloved. Bungee jumping, mountain climbing, horse riding, going to exotic destinations... all this you will do with your partner.

Capricorn:
You have an ardent and incurable romantic yearning for true love, which is put under check by Saturn -- the stern planet of discipline. It commands you to be calm, practical and serious. Nevertheless, love for a stable home and loyalty towards the spouse are your primary concerns. Man or woman, Capricorns love their home, but they are reverent about family ties -- be these their own or the ones created with the partner.

Aquarius:
Once in love, you will try to make everything perfect for your partner. You will accommodate compromise and adapt even if you find that person is not exactly the ideal match you imagined him or her to be. Your approach to love and marriage is logical and intellectual, loving with your mind, as well as your eyes.

Pisces:
In the world of romance, you crave fairytales, being more in love with the idea of love than being in love itself. You can be unnecessarily suspicious and jealous, and this might cause a lot of heartache. The most important ingredient you bring to a relationship is love. You are gentle, sensitive, and a romantic through and through, valuing fidelity in a marriage and will be kind and affectionate to your spouse.

What women want?

As the world celebrates International Women's Day on March 8, let's get to understand the women better. What they want, love and hate - their sun signs tell it all.

Aries: You are not one to be cowed down by failures, you play the game for the recognition it brings. You love to take on new challenges and even lead the way, offering new ideas and finding easy solutions to problems. Aries women enjoy male companionship. You want to take the lead in your love life as well.

Taurus: Taureans like to be rooted -- whether it is your environment, work, home or your opinions. Taurus women are not the outgoing type, and yet are very romantic and have a strong attraction towards the opposite sex but will often be very slow in reacting.

Gemini: If intellectual stimulation is what you are looking for, you will find it in the Gemini woman. The Gemini woman is known as a 'one girl harem' because of her capacity to present more than one exterior. You are versatile and have an amazing grasp of the subject you choose, although it may not interest you for long.

Cancer: You are very sensitive in your relationships and expect an equal amount of sensitivity be shown to you. You can be admirably kind, generous, understanding and gracious, if all is well with you. Like most water signs, you too have good intuitive powers and mostly put them to good use in managing your life.

Leo: You are fiery and passionate. You know how to handle men and can control a man quite easily! You have a strong aesthetic sense, not only with regard to your possessions, but also the environment around you. You are easily seduced by material wealth and luxury and believe in living life in style.

Virgo: You are not afraid of taking on challenges and prove your mettle with hard work and a quiet determination. Your quest for perfection and your inability to ignore even the smallest of faults generally proves good for you. You are not particularly demonstrative compared to other women, which often keeps a man guessing.

Libra: You will pay a lot of attention to your appearance, accessories and have a style all your own. This makes you very attractive to the opposite sex. Libran women are experts in the art of conversation and you like to talk a lot. Compassionate, generous and diplomatic, you will find people always ready to do you favours.

Scorpio: You are very attractive and easily draw the attention of men. You have a desire for a slow storybook romance and are constantly drawn towards it. You can be ultra-feminine when you want to. Your hypnotic stare and your vital force overwhelm those around you. You have a keen intellect and admirable qualities of patience and creativity.

Sagittarius: You have a great desire to be in romantic surroundings, but often you do not let your partner understand this. Bold, dashing and spirited - it's a bit difficult to keep pace with you - whether it is in your movements or in your speech. You could not care less and hate being in an atmosphere that is physically or emotionally claustrophobic.

Capricorn: You believe in true love and devotion, if you can manage to find it. Your naturalness and desire to rise above the ordinary makes you look a bit aloof, but you can be a lot more passionate than most women. You are diligent, hardworking and cautious; have an admirable sense of discipline and a good head for managing finances.

Aquarius: Aquarian women want both intelligence and style in their man. You seem to live on a different plane altogether - sympathetic, sensitive, friendly, but distant. You tend to be philosophical and have strong intuitive powers. You are an admirer of beauty and everything about you seems soft and gentle.

Pisces: You will be very loyal and once you form a relationship it will continue for a long time but your fickleness and need for constant romance may make you lose interest in your lover. Although you might be impractical and somewhat uneasy with the real world, you are brave and prefer a lot of independence.
