Aishwarya Rai Wedding: Will It Mar Her Bollywood Career?

Is Aishwarya’s wedding doing great things for her? She seems to have distanced herself from the major men of the silver screen following her much hyped wedding. I wonder with whom Aishwarya will pair on the silver screen in the coming days!

Shahrukh Khan the hot man of bollywood is not likely to pair with her any more considering that he was not invited for her wedding!

Viveik Oberoi cannot of course be considered; he being Aishwarya’s jilted lover.

Salman Khan will be left out for the same reason as Viveik after his doomed relationship with her!

Hrithik Roshan will have trouble after his smooching act in Dhoom2.

Amir Khan and Saif Ali Khan were again uninvited for the wedding; so the duo might have problems.

All the above seem like remote possibilities. Well one real life hero in the form of Abhishek has resulted in the exit of many reel-life heroes! Looks like Abhishek will be her leading man on the silver screen for some time to come.

On another note Ms. Rai is using the “Bachchan” surname and is even signing with the new name and will move in with her in-laws – Aishwarya and Abhishek will live with Big B.

Blogspot Blog Causing Errors?

I am facing some nagging problems when I create a new post on my blog. I just typed out a new post and published it but it refuses to show up on my blog! But I am sure it will display after a few minutes or may be an hour. Similarly when I make changes to my template or blog posts and publish; it does not immediately reflect the changes. I am not aware why. Could be some bug that Blogger technicians need to fix. I've been experiencing this only for the past couple of days.

Why is this? Any other bloggers on the google blogspot platform facing similar problems? I hope this post will reflect now so that some one will see it and clarify!

Google Is Now the World's Most Valuable Brand

Search engine giant Google has become the No. 1 brand displacing other giants like Microsoft, Coca-Cola and Wal-Mart. The latest findings have placed Google at the top.

Market research firm Millward Brown put Google ahead of the above formidable brands. The rankings are based on available financial data along with research and interviews with consumers worldwide, Millard Brown said. Google’s jump from the 7^th position last year to the top slot shows the growth, status and its popularity. It is interesting to note that Google uses little public advertising.

Some other factors that are considered in brand recognition this year are corporate responsibility and serving customers in emerging markets like India and Brazil.

Top Brands:

1. Google
2. General Electric
3. Microsoft
4. Coca-Cola
5. China Mobile
6. Marlboro
7. Wal-Mart
8. Citi
9. IBM
10. Toyota

Congratulations Google! You deserve the Numero Uno spot. Google faces the challenging task of maintaining its position at the top now.

Clean your Emails with eCleaner Before You Forward

How many times have you manually done the painful job of clearing out arrow characters or angle brackets “<<< >>>>” in emails that you receive and want to forward to your friends?

eCleaner solves this problem by cleaning unformatted mails by removing arrow characters, HTML tags, getting rid of unnecessary line breaks and normalizing unnecessary spaces at the beginning of each line. In short ecleaner formats the text and makes it look “clean”. It is great for emails that have several forwards.

Just copy and paste any e-mail or web text into eCleaner, press the "Clean" button and then switch back to your Word or E-mail, and paste. It’s as simple as that. Any one who uses Outlook, Outlook Express or web mails for email forwards will find this useful. Improve your email etiquette. I use this and find it quite useful.

Making The Police More Efficient! - Nice One

Fred was going to bed when his wife told him that he had left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window.

Fred opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He rang the police, who asked "Are the thieves in your house?" Fred said "no". The cops then said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock all his doors and an officer would be along when available.

Fred said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 60, and phoned the police again.

"Hello, I just called you a minute ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot all of them." Then he hung up.

Within five minutes four police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at his residence and caught the intruders red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to Fred: "I thought you said that you had shot them!"

Fred said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
