The Ranbir-Deepika Spli

There was hardly any gap between the time when we got to know about Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone’s relationship and the break-up that followed. It was a matter of months before the duo split ways.

If we believe Miss Padukone, she learnt about Ranbir's flirtatious nature through a common friend and the relationship became history.

Ranbir, after all, is a hot-blooded Kapoor. He is a natural charmer as far as women go and sooner or later, Deepika would have heard about his flirtations, especially when Ranbir isn't too modest about it either. Common friends carried the news to Deepika, perhaps adding a bit of tadka for flavour. Immediate speculations point to Ranbir's chemistry with Katrina Kaif during the shoot of Rajneeti. But Katrina was not the only girl in the picture. Numerous stories about Nandita Mahtani and many other girls floated in the air, making it impossible for Deepika to continue with the relationship.

The crack first became evident at Shabina Khan's birthday party where the two sat in different corners of the room. They had a somewhat unfriendly break up and the buzz is they haven't spoken to each other since.

Deepika is strong person with set goals and a professional attitude. Not having many friends, it seems she is an introvert for whom opening up is a big task. On the contrary, Ranbir Kapoor can’t stop spreading his charm. An outgoing person, he has many friends and is a pukka Punjabi brat. This certainly doesn’t indicate towards a good match. Trouble seems to be etched from the get go. How were we to expect them to live happily ever after? Read More!

Kangna Ranaut, the new bikini babe!

After Bipasha, Kareena, Priyanka, Lara Dutta, guess who will be the new bikini girl in Bollywood? Joining the bandwagon is Kangna Ranaut. Yes, she will be seen in her sexiest avatar in her upcoming film Rascals.

Kangna will be wearing a two-piece on-screen for the first time and she is very comfortable in it. When asked by a leading national daily if donning a bikini for a film frightens her, she replied, “I'm a city girl now, so it wasn't a shocking concept for me. I might wear a bikini if I go for a swim, but it does feel odd wearing close to nothing on a shoot - that too with the whole unit around, fully clothed! It makes you conscious.”

Kangna is doing her best to revamp her drooping career. She has taken carrying off a bikini as a challenge as she said, “David (Dhawan) sir said he'd like me to wear one for the scene. He didn't say it was compulsory, but with almost every actress donning one, it becomes almost essential in a film like Rascals. I'm not known for my item numbers or bikini scenes, so I took it up as a challenge. I didn't want to be known as someone who can't do it.” Read More!

Virgo and Zodiac Compatibility

Virgo rules the sixth home of services, company connected to do the job, responsibility, health, hygiene, nutritional and exercise habits. The Sun in Virgo phase is an excellent time for you to build an alliance with Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio and Capricorn. A Virgo is a creative, analytical and a practical zodiac sign. They do well as scientists or writers. They have great taste, and are interested in law and literature.

Let’s find out how compatible you will be with other zodiac signs!

Virgo with Aries: The relationship or marriage will not be as fruitful as you think, because Virgo believes in words and Aries believes in action. Aries is more passionate than the Virgo and this is what the Virgo doesn’t admire.

Virgo with Taurus: The creative, intelligent and delicate Virgo is practical and strong too. Both these zodiac signs are compatible with one another. They are materialistic and passionate. The only problem is that Taurus does not like Virgo’s tendency to criticize at every step.

Virgo with Gemini: A marriage between these two zodiacs will not be successful. But both will be compatible in bed. Gemini loves freedom and Virgo tries to dominate the Gemini which doesn’t help the situation.

Virgo with Cancer: Since both of you are highly ambitious, you will have to make some sacrifices to make your relationship work. You will have to set your priorities right if you want to avoid arguments. Taking time out from your busy schedules is a must or else your love life will be a mess.

Virgo with Leo: Virgo is a reserved character and Leo is the king. They both cannot be dominated but when in love, each zodiac will try to dominate each other. Hence, this is not a match you are looking for.

Virgo with Virgo: Both these zodiacs are reserved and they would like to talk less. Both partners share the same sun sign, and have similar likes and dislikes. So chances are that they will be a good match if they are able to overcome boredom. Read More!

Shahid Kapoor, an amorous kisser!

Shahid Kapoor is reserving his hottest kiss for his wife. The shy guy who has kissed four top hot actresses of Bollywood (Kareena, Priyanka, Anushka and now Sonam) said that none of those lip locks are hot enough.

In a recent interview with a leading national daily, he was asked with whom he shared the hottest lip lock. To which, he replied, “I have kissed all four on screen. However, I am very uncomfortable shooting for a kissing scene, since there are a lot of people watching you on the sets. So, my hottest kiss is reserved for the one I shall marry.”

Is Shahid’s kiss wet and messy or warm and passionate? Astroyogi reveals to you his kissing style.

Born on February 25, 1981, Shahid Kapoor belongs to the zodiac sign, Pisces. Piscean kisses are long-lasting and full of emotions. Their kisses are starry-eyed, amorous. They end one kiss, only to start on another! Kiss is a significant part of love making for them.

Being a Piscean, he is a romantic soul and a kiss means a lot to him. He wants his kiss to be perfect, romantic, intimate and soft. A Piscean sets up a whole ambience to kiss perfectly. He will make sure that the kiss stays in your memory forever; he loves to give a memorable kiss.

Ahem! We are not surprised when he got himself embroiled in an intimate kiss controversy (read Shahid-Kareena’s MMS). So, keep wondering who that lucky one will be till he gets married.

How to steam up your house party

Where’s the party tonight? At home! Yup, instead of shelling out a lot from your pocket to throw a birthday or private bash at some club or restaurant, why don’t you have it at your home? If you have a little bit of space at home to gather a few close friends and relatives of yours, then just go ahead.

However, it’s not always food and music that will make your party memorable. To have a rocking do, you need to keep your home free from any negative energy so that peace and harmony remain intact in your home. Here are some easy ways to make your party the most talked about among your friends:

• The foremost thing you need to do is to keep your home entrance area neat, spacious and smelling nice to welcome good and positive Qi (energy flow).
• According to Feng Shui, the most auspicious areas to hold your celebrations are the west or southwest, so try to make use of these locations if you can.
• If you have a Laughing Buddha statue, use it as the central decor piece in your get-together area as it promotes happiness, harmony and joy to a household.
• Use a lot of crystals with a tiny splash of red around the room to increase good vibes.

2012, the Dragon year and its impact

2012 is a special year as it belongs to the Chinese sign of Dragon. The Dragon is the only animal in the Chinese zodiac which is not real and is based on legends. Many powerful forces will be at play when 2012 approaches. It’s the year of the Water Dragon and water is considered to be one of nature’s strongest forces. The Dragon breathes out fire and the same way those born under this sign are known to have a sharp and biting tongue that can hurt others easily.

You belong to the Dragon sign if you were born within these mentioned dates:

• 16 February 1904 – 3 February 1905: Wood Dragon
• 3 February 1916 – 22 January 1917: Fire Dragon
• 23 January 1928 – 9 February 1929: Earth Dragon
• 8 February 1940 – 26 January 1941: Metal Dragon
• 27 January 1952 – 13 February 1953: Water Dragon
• 13 February 1964 – 1 February 1965: Wood Dragon
• 31 January 1976 – 17 February 1977: Fire Dragon
• 17 February 1988 – 5 February 1989: Earth Dragon

• 23 January 2012 – 9 February 2013: Water Dragon
• 10 February 2024 – 28 January 2025: Wood Dragon

In Chinese astrology the Dragon person born in this Chinese Zodiac year has a sharp tongue – they will say things that can be quite sarcastic and biting. You tend to overlook other people’s emotions and go about saying and doing things as you please. Keeping your temper in check will be very important once 2012 starts. People will not appreciate your great work if you don’t maintain a good relationship with others. What you say and how you say it can have a great impact on your overall well being.

With rain gushing down in almost every corner of India, it is the season of love when everyone started falling in love with the rain as it brings some sigh of relief from this hot and sultry weather. And to celebrate this season, director Pankaj Kapoor has opted for the right ‘mausam’ for his film Mausam’s (a timeless love story) release. It is scheduled to be released on September 23, 2011.

Mausam is a sweet love story between a Punjabi Air Force Officer, Harry (Shahid Kapur) and an innocent Kashmiri refugee Aayat, (Sonam Kapoor) in times of political and religious tensions. Their love transcends beyond boundaries, beyond romance with love growing ever strong from season to season.

The first season is about attraction between the two, the second season about developing into young love, the third about separation wherein they realise the depth in their love and in the fourth season after sacrificing a lot, they finally get back together. It’s a journey of love in its purest form.

So, how will this movie fare at the box-office? Let’s find out!

Sonam Kapoor, born on June 9, 1985 is a Gemini and her ruling number is 9.

This year she will be making many right choices and will come up with something great that will impress just about everyone. 

Oops! Nasser Hussain did it again

The England-India cricket series has become a dull and one-sided affair with Dhoni’s boys going kaput at the hands of the England team. Team India, which landed in England as the World No.1 Test team, was completely outplayed by the superb performances and team spirit of Andrew Strauss’s boys, who snatched away from them the No.1 title. But we should be grateful to one man who’s been providing some time-to-time entertainment and still keeping us glued to our idiot box. So, let’s say ‘Thank You’ to Nasser Hussain.

Hussain has once again embroiled himself in a controversy for blatantly exercising his ‘right to opinion’. His spat with Ravi Shastri during the Test series over the Decision Review System (DRS) is yet to sink in that Indian cricket fans are hurt again by his insensitive commentary which compared some Indian fielders to 'donkeys'.

“I would say the difference between the two sides is the fielding. England are all-round a good fielding side. I do believe that India have a few…3 or 4 very good fielders and one or two donkeys in the field still,” said Hussain, as a commentator during the one-off T20 match between England and India on August 31 in Manchester. He made this awful comment after Parthiv Patel misjudged a Kevin Pietersen's catch off Munaf Patel's bowling in the fourth over of England innings.

Pet Dogs and Sun Signs

If you are a dog lover and are looking for a dog but confused about which breed to go for then you need to look no further. Dogs also have the same horoscope signs that we have. Your pet dog should match with your personality and should have the qualities that you will like in your pet. Many people consider pet dogs as their children. These people believe that astrology plays a significant role in their pet dog's life. There are so many dog breeds in the world but which one is the best for you? Let’s find out!

The 12 Sun signs (which may vary within a few days each month according to different astrologers) are divided into four groups which contain three signs. Each group, also known as triplicity, signifies an elient: Fire, Earth, Air and Water.

Aries- If you are looking for a smart dog breed then go for Doberman pinscher, ChowChow, Germen Shepherd and Rottweiler. These are popular, easy to train and intelligent enough for you Arians. They've also been called "the dog with the human brain." They are fearless, outgoing, and up for anything, anytime. It is a quick-tipered dog and, in extrie case, downright selfish. This dog will enjoy a variety of activities, such as agility classes or playing frisbee.

Taurus- Your best match is with Bulldog, Bull Terrier and Bullmastiff. They are hard hitters and outrageous like you. These dogs are strong, silent and determined. They will appreciate a comfortable bed, complete with super-soft blankets. They are very lazy and would much rather sleep than run around. They can be stubborn like you Taurus.

Gemini- When we talk about you Gemini the best suited dog breed that first comes to mind is the Chihuahua. Cute, small, innocent and easy to carry anywhere you go. It likes to explore everything like...the house, the people, the garden. The happy pup will be more than content to explore, anxious to learn everything about his or her new surroundings. Or if you are looking for a medium size dog then the Harrier will be best for you.

Will Jan Lokpal end corruption in India?

India celebrated when the government, along with all political parties, accepted clauses of Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal Bill. Even though compelled to do so because of mass hysteria, the phenomenon clearly shows that citizens of India were successful in making the government do what they wanted.

However, this should not be taken as an end in itself. Even if the Jan Lokpal Bill is passed by the parliament, in its current state, it won't be able to end corruption. The fight against corruption has to go on.

Before we evaluate the effectiveness of Jan Lokpal Bill, first we need to understand the bill. The Jan Lokpal Bill (Citizen's ombudsman Bill) is a draft anti-corruption bill drawn up by prominent civil society activists like Anna Hazare, Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, etc. seeking the appointment of a Jan Lokpal, an independent body that would investigate corruption cases, complete the investigation within a year and envisages trial in the case getting over in the next one year.

Bodyguard is a total masala film which has all the recipes to make it a successful film. But, will the stars favour Salman and Kareena ? Will they finally be able to register their first hit as a pair?

Salman, being a Capricorn is hardworking and the astrological positions of his stars indicate a very successful year ahead. He is headed to get huge success in this venture. The Sun's position in the 1st House will increase his urge for success and thus make him work harder for the movie. This also indicates he will dominate. Even Mars in Capricorn place him well on the wealth aspect and assure success in his ventures. 2011 will yet again be a superb year for him.

Born on September 21, 1980, Bebo belongs to the zodiac sign Virgo and is ruled by Number 3.
