Aspirin helps to control Asthma

Hi friends, I would like to share this important info with you all. A recent study which was published in Paris says that “Every other day a bit of aspirin will help women to keep Asthma at the bay”. This study of research was published in the British journal Thorax.

Similar study was made on men previously, which has shown the same result as that on women. This is the first time that a medical research has demonstrated that Aspirin can control the raise of Asthma in the body of a woman.

A massive survey was conducted on 40,000 female American healthcare professionals, whose age is around 45 & older. The typical form of Aspirin is a 325 mg. This form of Aspirin has reduced the Asthma effect on the surveyed women. These results were found to be true on all irrespective of menopausal status, exercise level & smoking. But this Aspirin has no such effect on the clinically obese women.

This survey is not conducted on the women less than 45 years of the age. This research did not work on the obese woman, so Asthma rules on obese women. The researchers are yet to find a way to reduce the Asthma effect on some sections of women, not all are free from Asthma attacks.

I have seen many Asthma friends of mine who struggle for breath. I get disturbed by seeing the pain faced by them. When the climate is cold or the pollution levels are very high then it is horrible experience for them. This is very important discovery as per me because it is a slow but sure way of reducing the Asthma effect.

Tintin will soon come to life

Hi friends, how are u all doing??? I had recovered from viral fever and I am doing fine. Recently I was reading newspaper and found a column saying that comic star Tintin will be coming to life in a three movies series. Already Tintin cartoon is popular in Cartoon Network Channel but this is first time a movie is going to be coming very soon in theatres.

The Tintin trilogy will be directed by famous Hollywood director Steven Spielberg and will be working with famous director Peter Jackson (Director of the Lord of Rings & King Kong). Media sources say that Spielberg will be director of the first movie of Tintin series and second movie will be directed by Jackson but it is unknown who will be the director for the third movie.

A schoolboy by the name Thomas Sangster from South London will be playing the role of Tintin because Spielberg had selected him. Sangster is 17 years old and he might become as popular like Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) or Elijah Wood (played the role of Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings series). Speaking to media Sangster said, he doesn’t know much about Tintin character because he don’t like reading books but he watched the cartoon series of Tintin on Cartoon Network. Captain Haddock character is also popular in the comic version and this role will be played by Andy Serkis.

Herge’s had sold around 200 million copies around the world and Tintin is very popular around the world. The Trilogy of Tintin is expected to release in the year 2010 but the work and discussion about the scenes had already started in Los Angles.

The production team and the director of the film did not reveal which of the 23 Tintin stories will be filmed. So, it is a secret for the public and latest 3D technology will be used by the directors. We can expect good film in 2010 from Hollywood. That's all for now and more soon.....

Sridevi Ek Sitara

Sridevi stole the hearts of many people with her seductive dance and mastered art. She had the talent and the grace to attract any audience. Sridevi was born on 13^th August 1963 in Sivakai, Tamil Nadu and her full name was Sreedevi Ayyappan but after coming to films her name was changed to Sridevi. Presently she married to famous producer Boney Kapoor who is brother of actor hero Anil Kapoor.

Sridevi father was Ayyappan a lawyer from Tamil Nadu and Rajeshwari (Andhra Pradesh) was her mother’s name. This bollywood queen had ruled the film world for two decades but started her career as child artist at an age of 3 years. Sridevi first debut in Hindi movie “Julie” where Laxmi was heroine and Sridevi was playing the role of her young sister. Julie movie had become a musical hit at that time.

Sridevi was a standard seven dropout and her passion for acting had made her to leave her education. She soon became the sexy kitten of Telugu Films acting with many heroes like Late NT Rama Rao, A Nageshwara Rao, Super Star Krishna, Shoban Babu & list goes on. She had even acted with the above said actors son’s as well Nagarjuna (son of Nageshwara Rao).

Sridevi’s first hit film as heroine in Hindi was Himmatwala (1983) and her debut film Solva Sawan was unsuccessful at the box office. After the hit of Himmatwala Sridevi became a super star and this brought the end of Hema and Rekha’s era to an end as heroines. Sridevi was 5'7' tall and soon became famous in bollywood and she earned the nickname ‘Miss Thunder Thighs’. Her biggest hits are Tohfa, Mr India, Nagina, Chandni, Chalbaaz, Lamhe and Kuda Gawah. She was popular in film industries other than Hindi as well and she acted in many films in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. Sridevi’s last movie Judaai in 1997 with Anil Kapoor was a big hit and audience were waiting for more but she retired from films after marrying Boney Kapoor.

In Sridevi’s personal life faced hard times and she lit the pyre of her mother breaking the laws of Hindu customs. Her father died when she was acting in the film ‘Lamhe’ and left her alone in the life. The gossips of bollywood claimed that Sridevi had relationship with Mithun Chakraborty in 1986 and the relationship ended within year when she realized that Mithun had not yet divorced his first wife Yogita Bali (actress). Sridevi married film producer Boney Kapoor in the year 1996 but Boney Kapoor was also a married man and had to give divorce to his first wife. Media & film industry had criticized the marriage but Sridevi faced all the attacks bravely and silently. She had two daughters Jhanvi and Khushi.

Sridevi came back as a small screen diva and acted in a comedy serial 'Malini Iyer' from 2004-2005. She appeared in TV shows like Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai (2004) and Kaboom (2005). Sridevi’s present world starts with her two daughters and I hope her daughters live up to Sridevi’s expectations.

Celebration time...

Every year in Visakhapatnam Naval day is celebrated and on this the INDIAN NAVY shows to the public the aerobics and other feats. They even do rehearsals with the anti-aircraft guns. Even though you can not bare the sound the light emitted from the anti-aircraft guns are very colorful to watch. Since my childhood I always go to see these colorful lights. There was Naval Mela where lot of item related to Indian navy was displayed and was allowed for public view. The beach road was full packed with crowd and naval officers. I have taken some pictures of the ships which were decorated with lights. They may not clear as they were too far to take a picture but I too the pictures with my Nokia 6070.
