Now that the whole India vs. Australia scene is past news, a new charge has come up against Brad Hogg for passing racial gestures towards MS Dhoni and the skipper captian Anil Kumble. Hogg is to be presented against the ICC board on Jan 14th, 08. Let’s see what the decision will be now.

As for the doubtful question whether India will continue the series was a question. Well not anymore, BCCI and ICC have settled on common grounds, the games will continue. As of Harbhajan Singh’s continuation is still a doubt.

All the choas between the two contries certainly is not good news. This should not have occured on the fields. When two countries of this calibre come onto the fields, the crowds expect a certain sportsmanship to be displayed. The game of cricket is followed by each and every man, woman and child of both countries. What was called a gentlemen’s game a while back, well there’s nothing gentle in it anymore.

The more the anger the better, the more the tharashing the better, and more publicity the better. No! the game of cricket needs to rediscover itself. If false decision is what caught the umpire Bucker to be removed from the game, I think for a racial remark, suspension from the game is not asking for too much.  But there needs to be some basis of decision making. An umpire cannot just ask the players of the field for the decision. It’s true that a fielder knows best about what they have been doing on the field but what are umpires for!

By now all are well aware of the situation that occured on the fields while the Indian cricket team was on a test match series tour to the Aussie land. It all started with Australia’s last visit to India, in which posters were made by the spectators with offensive words towards Andrew Symmonds. Now, months later, on Sunday, the third day of the second test…we all saw (i did too!) a chit chat happening between Harbhajan Singh and Symmonds which instantly lead to Ricky Ponting complaining about it to the umpires. Apparently, Harbhajan had repeated the offensed words and Symmonds took offense (ofcourse!).

Now neither you or i know the complete truth…but on the accounts of Australian players’ testimony Harbhajan has been suspended from the next three test matches…if this wasn’t a real sour experince for the Indian on the aussie fields…to make matters worse there were some unfair umpiring, where two of the players were given out at the wrong moment…resulting in India’s defeat (not that India’s chances are ever bright against Australia…but its still wrong umpiring, and the BCCI are taking action against it). I’m still willing to let go of the wrong judgement, it happens…but with todays technology and advancement…when Steve Buckner wasn’t sure of what the decision should be, he walks over to the other umpire Mark Benson to discuss what they should do. Now as any sensible umpire would do, signal for third umpires (i mean what are these third umpires doing anyways with a TV..put them to some use..make their penny’s worth), instead Buckner looks for Ponting who signals and out and thus Buckner gives an out. Is this what umpires are doing now…i personally do not feel that Benson or Buckner in particular were worthy umpires.

Following all this, chaos has occured in both country’s media regarding what truly happened and what should have. Now Symmonds is unavaiable for comment or rather has been forced to be unvailable is still a question…still the question arises that are aussie really playing to win or are playing to humilate (ownself in this case!).

Sure australia has a lead of 2-0 in the series…but is this victory a truly deserved one or than a stolen one. Aussies have been the masters of cricket for a long time, and without a doubt have the best line of batsmen, finest bowlers and a spectalur fielders, but the point still remins, do they have the sportsman spirit. There have been numerous accounts of players being harassed by the opponent team especially if it happens to be South Asian.

We have stepped into 2008 and we proudly say that today the world is diverse, but where is diversity when it comes to play. A sport should be taken in its spirit and such things are the part and parcel of any game. When Aussies decide to slam a player which their remarks, they should be fully prepared to get a whole lot in return, especially if its us Indians. We weren’t the weak kinds 60 years ago and were certainly not weak today.

So randomly as it happened I was just checking out the latest happenings of the Bollywood world and couldn’t help but notice yet another calendar launch. This time it only features the coveted Bipasha Basu (yes!) and a little something else.

Though this time it wasn’t Daboo Ratani or Subi Samuel…but Kinetic Flyte’s Scooty which so proudly chose Bips as their brand ambassador.

No offense, but the whole bike (and its step sister: Scooty) and any other speed related things were a John Abraham domain.

Not that there is anything wrong with scootys, i love them myself, but it looks like Bips is trying to toughen up her image and here’s a living proof. After the image below…i went on a hysteric laughter attack as if the above wasnt funny enough. In case you miss what Im hinting at, then pay particular attention to Bipasha’s neckpiece which she flaunts oh so proudly.
Enjoy!

Disclaimer: None of what is mentioned above is to hurt any of the fan’s feelings, as I am a HUGE fan of Basu…so take it light

Subi Sameul is one of the great known photogrpaher of India, namely the Bollywood Industry. This year again Samuel launched a calendar with the whose who of Bollywood varying from actors to directors. Some of the featured celebreties are Karan Johar, Priyanka Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and other well-known celebs of BTown.

The launch saw the familiar faces of bollywood like Priyanka Chopra, Reitesh Deshmukh, Karan Johar and many more.

Subi’s this year’s calendar ‘Alchemy 2008′ was as unique as Daboo Ratnani’s 2007 water based calendar, which also featured bollywood’s big names. This year, each month would feature a celeb showcased in an exciting action sequence of a comic strip. This new calendar features 24 bollywood’s big names playing different characters.

Hrithik Roshan, the macho man

Lara Dutta, sexiest undercover cop

Shah Rukh Khan, godfather?

Priyanka Chopra, lava girl

Reitesh Deshmukh, Casanova!

This calendar is truly in my opinion one of the best Subi has to offer

BUT

before go all ga-ga over this one…its a complete rip-off from Frank Miller’s comic for example remember the movie that created a whole lotta buzz and didn’t really work out (Sin City?…yes!) and also one of the best to hit 2008, with all due respect to Kingfisher. Subi’s amazing interview regarding the calendar shoot and also the deciding about this very unique concept is available here!

To see more of who are showcased in this calendar, you can go here!

Celebrating its 20th year was Ensemble, and what better way than a fashion show featuring the whose who of the fashion industry like Tarun Tahiliani, Sabyasachi, Rohit Bal and many more.

The show took place at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai in Dec. 9th and making their presence felt were Priyanka Chopra and Madhur Bhandarkar. I wonder whether this was an inspirational visit for the upcoming film “Fashion”.

Bollywood celebrities walking the ramp for their fav designer is old news, but here the honour was done by three x-models (below): Dino Morea, Milind Soman and last but not the least Arjun Rampal sporting Rohit Bal’s creations.
