Ram-Leela song Ram chahe leela: Priyanka Chopra’s curves or Deepika Padukone’s kisses – What’s sexier?

Ram chahe leela song from Ram-Leela

The wait is finally over! Priyanka’s much-awaited item song from Bhansali’s magnum opus has been released. But has it lived up to the expectations? Read on and find out…

Featuring Priyanka ChopraRam chahe leela from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram-Leela is not a typical Bollywood item number with crazy lyrics and dhinchak music. This one is more of a sensuous number and Ms Chopra does full justice to the song with her seductive moves. Believe us, it’s a visual delight to watch her groove on Ram chahe leela which has a touch of rock fusion. And we admit, for once we forgot about the gorgeous lead actor of the Ram-Leela Deepika Padukone ‘coz PC does look hot in her white short choli and ghagra. She flaunts her perfectly shaped curves, shows off her modern mujra moves and looks pretty making this song worth a dekho. Though Dippy is not part of the track, you get to see her in the video mostly kissing her co-star Ranveer Singh.
So it all boils down to what’s sexier – PeeCee’s curves or Ms Padukone’s kissing-spree. While it’s hard for us to pick, you watch the video and tell which babe takes away the cake in this case.

Nach Baliye 6 pics: Gurmeet Choudhary and Debina try to rekindle their romance in Khajuraho

Nach Baliye 6 Gurmeet Debina

Nach Baliye is back with dance, music and romance in its sixth season of the couple dance reality show on Star Plus

All the 11 jodis of Nach Baliye 6 are preparing themselves to take for the dance challenge, however, it seems Gurmeet Choudhary and Debina Bonnerjee – one of the hottest couple of this season are leaving no stone unturned to get their strong hold in the competition.
The lovey-dovey couple took off to the serene temples of Khajuraho to spend some quality time with each other and to take a break from the hectic work schedule. Guess this season is giving the couples a chance to rekindle their physical intimacy and passion through dance… oooh sizzling! No wonder Khajuraho a place symbolic of love and spirituality became the ideal place for this jodi to get into the groove.
Gurmeet who got very posy at the temple said, “We have been waiting to do this show since its first season. All this while either Debina or I was busy but this season it was like the universe was conspiring for this to happen to us. Nach Baliye ke liye poori kainat koshish mein judh gayi (the whole universe conspired to get us on this show). We both have been very busy with work and now the rehearsals have been taking most of our time hence we decided to take a short break. Debina had gone to Khajuraho when she was in the eighth standard and spoke highly about this place. Since we are doing Nach Baliye now, we thought this is the best place to go for a short trip and get inspired.” What a thought, no?
Nach Baliye 6 will go on air from November 9, every Saturday and Sunday on Star Plus.

The 'Pink Helmet Posse' Is A Trio Of Skateboarding 6-Year-Old Girls And They're Awesome

The newest skateboarding sensations to hit the scene in Southern California are crazy talented, crazy daring, and also crazy adorable. You can spot them by their pink helmets, fluffy tutus, and funky knee socks. Their names are Relz Murphy, Sierra Kerr, and Bella Kenworthy.
They're 6 years old.
And together, they're known as the Pink Helmet Posse.
The three girls established the crew earlier in 2013 and have been parading their skills around town in hopes of inspiring other girls to start skateboarding, according to their website.
"We know it can be intimidating," they write on the site, "but we're here to show you that skateboarding is not just for boys."
But they're not just little girls being cute on skateboards and smiling for the cameras -- they're the real deal.

Costume Contact Lenses Are Dangerous, Eye Doctor Group Warns

Cosmetic contact lenses might seem like the perfect way to enhance your Halloween costume this year, but the American Academy of Ophthalmology is warning consumers that the nonprescription lenses could do serious damage to your eyes.
Although selling such lenses without a prescription is actually illegal, cosmetic lenses can still be found in stores and online. They are dangerous because they could cause corneal abrasions (scratches on the cornea, which covers the iris and pupil) and ulcers on the eye, which can then lead to infection (keratitis).
If this happens, the AAO warns that corneal transplants and other eye surgeries might become necessary to prevent blindness.
"What happens to people's eyes after just one evening of wearing non-prescription costume contact lenses is tragic," Thomas Steinemann, M.D., an AAO spokesperson and professor of ophthalmology at MetroHealth Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University, said in a statement. "It all could have been avoided if these patients just took a little extra time to obtain a prescription and only wore FDA-approved lenses. I understand how tempting it is to dress up your eyes on Halloween without a prescription and using over-the-counter lenses, but people should not let one night of fun ruin their vision for a lifetime."

Fluffy The Penguin Gets The World's First Penguin MRI

We don't know how else to put it: you aren't ever likely to get a more charming look inside a penguin's brain than this.
Fluffy is an African black-footed penguin who was having a hard time doing normal penguin things, like "balancing, standing and waddling around," according to a media release put out by the University of Minnesota, which received the 18-year-old bird in late July.
After conducting a battery of inconclusive tests, veterinarians decided to give Fluffy a brain scan -- the first penguin MRI that vet Micky Trent had ever come across. "So this was a first," Trent says in this video -- which, happy spoiler, ends with the adorable Fluffy receiving antibiotics, regaining his balance, and going off to eat more fish with his buddy named BJ. In the middle, which is also exciting, you'll get to see an image of the penguin's brain:

'War On Coal' Good For Natural Gas Industry As U.S. Prepares To Expand Power Plant Network

war on coal

CHICAGO, Oct 21 (Reuters) - When the Obama administration unveiled new emission regulations for coal-fired power plants earlier this year, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) blasted the proposed rules, saying they would hurt its members "twice" - as energy users and as polluters "next in line" for such rules.

Last Tuesday, a NAM-supported effort to challenge the rules cleared an important hurdle when the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments in the case. The regulations, which critics call a "war on coal," will cost industry "tens of billions of dollars per year," according to the petition to the high court.

But the proposed carbon caps, which come as the United States is on the brink of a potential power plant construction boom, could be a billion-dollar bonanza for the manufacturers that supply utilities and others with the pumps, boilers and turbines used to generate power.

Los Angeles Proposes Banning GMOs

Los Angeles is considering banning the cultivation and sale of genetically modified organisms. If it does, the second-largest U.S. city would become the country's largest GMO-free zone.
Two LA city councilmen on Friday introduced a motion that would ban the growth, sale and distribution of genetically engineered seeds and plants. The councilmen, Paul Koretz and Mitch O’Farrell, said the measure is meant to protect local gardens and homegrown food from contamination by genetically modified seeds. The motion would not affect the sale of food containing genetically modified ingredients.
"We don't want to consume mystery food," O'Farrell told The Huffington Post. "Since there's currently no requirement, anyone could unwittingly purchase a genetically modified product and not know it. I think that's irresponsible."

Fall Is Beautiful And Instagram Knows It, Too

If you haven’t already, put down your apple cider, go out and experience what fall has to offer.

Friends Quit Their Jobs To Travel Country, Create Epic Time-Lapse Video

While many people toy with the notion of quitting their jobs to simply travel the world, three friends turned that very dream into a reality -- and they have one of the most amazing time-lapse videos you'll ever see to prove it.
The breathtaking video above, entitled "Adventure Is Calling," was posted by Shane Black who writes about the background and experience:
This summer, two friends and myself all left our comfortable jobs of six years to spend two months traveling across the country and teaching photography workshops along the way. We all felt that it was time to take a risk and get out of our comfort zones... adventure was calling us. It was a trip filled with endless hours cooped up in a van, exploring breathtaking landscapes, sharing stories and laughs, meeting some of the nicest people, making new friends, getting to meet old friends from around the country, and sharing our love of photography with others.
This trip was a constant test for me, as we had such short and limited time in nearly all of the spots we visited. In most cases, I'd have to hurry out of the van with all of my gear and find a decent composition in a very short amount of time as soon as we would arrive at the location. It was a constant race against the light.
During those 2 months, we traveled across 32 states, visited 13 national and state parks, and drove nearly 13,000 miles in a (somewhat) trusty old Dodge Caravan... with no cruise control. It was an adventure that gave us many memories that we will all hold onto for many years to come. I think that everybody needs to take a trip and have their eyes opened to just how beautiful this world is and how much is really out there.
We'd highly recommend watching the stunning work in high-definition and full screen if possible, and would like to congratulate Shane and his friends on what appears to be the absolute adventure of a lifetime!

Google Celebrates Celia Cruz's Birthday With Doodle

Web surfers woke up Monday to a sprinkling of azúcar.
Google celebrated what would have been Celia Cruz's 88th birthday Monday with a doodle honoring the Cuban singer who rose to international stardom as one of the world's greatest salsa singers.
"There have been many posthumous tributes to Celia in these last ten years, but this one by Google is certainly one of the most important and far-reaching," Omer Pardillo-Cid, sole executor of the Celia Cruz Estate, said in a press release. "She would have loved it!"
Born Ãšrsula Hilaria Celia de la Caridad Cruz Alfonso to a working-class family in Havana in 1925, Cruz took up singing as a child -- an interest later encouraged by her aunt, who introduced her to the world of Cuba's nightclubs, according to Billboard. A student of Cuba's Conservatory of Music, Cruz's career took off in 1950 when she joined La Sonora Matancera, one of Cuba's most prominent dance orchestras.

Study Reveals Older Internet Users Have Healthier Habits

A trip to Sicily, Italy isn’t complete without a taste of their cream-filled cannoli and a visit to the many UNESCO world heritage sites, one of which is in the city Agrigento.
Home to one of Sicily’s oldest tourist sites, Agrigento held a memorial yesterday to remember more than 300 killed in a recent shipwreck tragedy. The city was once avital city in ancient Greece, called Akragas, until the Carthaginians took over.
They might not have regained their former glory, but the magnificent ancient ruins at Valley of the Temples right outside the city is reason enough to visit.

'iPad Mini 2' Is Faster, Crisper And Heavier

Try to contain your excitement: Apple just announced a new version of the iPad Mini. It's pretty much the same as the last version, but there are some upgrades that Apple fans will want to know about.
Apple unveiled the new Mini and its larger sibling the iPad Air at an event in San Francisco on Tuesday.
While the new Air is lighter and thinner than its predecessor, the new Mini hasn't shed a drop of weight; getting even a bit heavier. The new Mini is 0.73 lbs for WiFi only and 0.75 lbs for WiFi and cellular, while the original iPad Minis weighed 0.68 lbs and 0.69 lbs. The new iPad Mini is also the tiniest bit thicker at 0.29 inches instead of 0.28.
The big cosmetic change is colors. The original iPad Mini is available in black and white. The new Mini t comes in black with a "Space Gray" finis
