Happy Birthday Jaswant Singh May God Bless You....

Jaswant Singh (born January 3, 1938) is an Indian politician and member of parliament from Darjeeling parliamentary constituency. He is from the Indian State of Rajasthan and was an officer in the Indian Army in the 1960s and is an alumnus of Mayo College and the National Defence Academy (India), Khadakwasla. He served as Finance minister in the short-lived government of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, which lasted just from May 16, 1996, to June 1, 1996. After Vajpayee became Prime Minister again two years later, he became Minister for External Affairs of India, serving from December 5, 1998 until July 1, 2002. Responsible for foreign policy, he dealt with high tensions between India and Pakistan. In July 2002 he became Finance Minister again, switching posts with Yashwant Sinha. He served as Finance Minister until the defeat of the Vajpayee government in May 2004 and was instrumental in defining and pushing through the market-friendly reforms of the government. Known for his moderate political views, he is a self-described liberal democrat even though the Bharatiya Janata Party is often described as a right-wing nationalist organization. He was conferred the Outstanding Parliamentarian Award for the year 2001. On 19 August 2009, he was expelled from BJP after criticism over his remarks in his book Jinnah - India, Partition, Independence.[1]
He is one of the few Indian politicians to have been the Minister for Defence, Finance and External Affairs.
He started the new government of Vajpayee, which lasted its full term, as the External Affairs Minister and later on switched his ministry to Finance with Yashwant Sinha. He was also the Defence Minister when George Fernandes was forced to resign after the Tehelka exposure.
Mr. Singh is widely regarded for his handling of relations with the United States which were strained after the 1998 Indian nuclear tests but which ameliorated soon after culminating in the visit of U.S. President Clinton to India. His skill as a negotiator and diplomat during talks with the United States has been well acknowledged by his U.S. counterpart Strobe Talbott.
Jaswant Singh is also the most influential person in the BJP not from a RSS background.
Jaswant Singh has been criticized by Political parties frequently for escorting terrorist to Kandhar, Afghanistan who were released by Government of India in exchange of passengers from the hijacked Indian Airlines plane. However, an all party meeting was called by the Indian government during that time and the decision taken was mutual by bringing all political parties in confidence.
In 2009 general election, he won as a candidate of BJP from Darjeeling parliamentary constituency under the state of west Bengal. He replaced the already declared candidate of BJP Mr. Dawa Sherpa, an ex IPS officer.
His candidature was the outcome of long political discussion between BJP and Gorkha Janamukti Morcha(GJM), an outfit demanding separate statehood for Hilly and Foothills of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri districts in the name of Gorkhaland.
The outfit, presumably having good support base in hills, offered its support in the election to different political wings including Indian National Congress, BJP or NCP of Mr. P A Sangma in Darjeeling. In return, they wanted inclusion of the demand of separate Gorkhaland statehood in the parties Election Manifesto. They have also put an additional condition for BJP to replace their declared candidate Mr. Sherpa.
After lot of turmoils and discussion, on the 2nd April late evening, finally BJP declared its decision to go with GJM. It was also accepted to give sympathetic consideration to Gorkhaland issue. Against this, GJM offered their support to BJP in two additional adjoining PCs in foothills- Alipurduar and Jalpaiguri.

Happy Birthday Chiranjeevi May God bless You..........

HYDERABAD: Film actor Chiranjeevi on Thursday made it clear that he would celebrate his 53rd birthday on Friday with his mother and spend quality time with the family, as he was not sure whether he could spare time in future, having decided to enter politics.
In tune with his decision, he reiterated his appeal to fans not to rush to Hyderabad to greet him. He asked each one of them to plant a tree instead, to show their love for him. In what was a first since his political entry, he joined presspersons for lunch. Initially reluctant to talk, the absence of cameras around him appeared to loosen his diplomatic cloak.
He said though former President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam was a powerful influence on him, he could not term anyone as an ‘icon’ among contemporary politicians, as he was inspired by one good trait in each of them. As in the earlier press conference, he refused to be drawn into debate over controversies like allotment of land for Special Economic Zones and the displacement of farmers.
The actor turned the tables on scribes by jocularly asking, “How do your family members put up with you? Do you ask questions even while having food?” He went on to say he would probably need to eat again in an hour’s time, as he was tired out by the relentless questioning by journalists.
Asked if he practised yoga or meditation to show such high levels of motivation, he said, “Meditation means focussing attention on a single object and I am now firmly concentrating on service to people through politics. I find it relaxing.”
Earlier, a former MLC, Kamineni Srinivas from Kaikalur in Krishna district and S. Chandrasekhar, a doctor and son of former Minister Simhadri Satyanarayana, joined his party. To a query why so many doctors were joining his camp, he said, “Wait and see. I am sure many more from different walks of life will join hands with me.”
On whether his August 26 public meeting would be ‘filmi’, Mr. Chiranjeevi had a repartee ready. “It will not be in filmi style, but in people’s style,” he quipped.

Happy Birthday Aruna Irani May God Bless You..............

Career
Born in 1952 Irani made her debut in the movie Gunga Jumna (1961) at nine years old playing Vyjayantimala's character as a child. After doing several small roles in films like Jahanara (1964), Farz (1967), Upkar (1967) and Aaya Sawan Jhoomke (1969), and pairing with comedian Mehmood in films like Aulad (1968), Humjoli (1970), and Naya Zamana (1971), she finally shot to fame with her brilliant performance as an aggressive gypsy woman in the super hit Caravan (1971). By that time, however, she was emotionally involved with Mehmood and did not focus fully on her career. Their relationship also ruined the chances of her getting the heroine's roles. Yet, Mehmood gave her lead roles opposite the likes of Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Mehra in the films that he made: Bombay To Goa (1972), Garam Masala (1972), and Do Phool (1973).
The success as a heroine still eluded her, and ironically, the newer actors and actresses that she supported became stars while acting with her: Jeetendra in Farz(1967), Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia in Bobby (1973), Jayaprada in Sargam (1979), Kumar Gaurav in Love Story (1981), Sanjay Dutt in Rocky (1981). She ended up doing vampish and supporting roles, mainly because her memorable performance in Caravan had already typecast her in such roles. To her credit, however, Aruna Irani seriously took each role and delivered nice performances, thus endearing herself to filmmakers and creating a niche for herself. No other actress of her time could have done full justice to her role of a seductress out to rob the teenage hero Rishi Kapoor off his innocence in Bobby (1973). Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s she appeared in several supporting roles, notably Roti Kapada Aur Makaan (1974), Do Jhooth (1975), Khel Khel Mein (1975), Bhanwar (1976), Fakira (1976), Laila Majnu (1976), Sargam (1979), Qurbani (1980), Aas Paas (1980), Love Story (1981)and Kudrat (1981). She finally won her first Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for Pet Pyaar Aur Paap (1984). In the late 1980s and 1990s she switched to playing motherly roles, notably in Beta (1992) for which she won her second Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award. She also got very famous acting in many Gujarati films and some way changed trend and played as main protagonist.

Happy Birthday Sridevi May God Bless You...........

Bollywood's all time favorite Queen Bee, Sridevi celebrated her 46th birthday last night with her family.
And to make the occasion special Sri’s two pretty daughters Jahnavi, 12 and Khusi, 8 decorated the house. Getting away for a few minutes from the chaos of organizing a small birthday get-together, Sri excitedly informed us, “My daughters, I can see, have devoted the last two days planning out this day.
My husband has some grand plans, I assume. And all the excitement has rubbed onto me as well.”
So who all invited for this quiet celebration? “Right now it’s just family, but you never know. My family may just decide to spring a surprise for me,” she said delightedly.
Birthdays mean gifts galore. “I wouldn’t like to share what Boneyji has gifted me, but I can tell you that it’s something wearable.
It’s beautiful and I plan to wear it tonight. However, the gifts that are closest to my heart are those given by my daughters. They’ve been writing beautiful letters and making birthday cards for me every year. There’s nothing more special and memorable for me,” gushed the doting mother.
Birthdays are more than just cakes and candles for this lovely lady. “Before I married Boneyji, I religiously used to visit Tirupathi on my birthdays. Other than that, visiting orphanages and old age homes were my priorities, after which I used to return home and celebrate the day with my sisters. Those days were so beautiful and carefree”, recalls the Sadma actress fondly “But birthday celebrations have changed for me now. It’s more about spending time with family. They are special, because I feel complete with family.”
And maybe it’s this ‘completeness’ that makes her so beautiful even today. “I think I look better today than I did yesterday,” she confesses, “That’s because I am happy. I feel a positive energy around me all the time. It’s very important to be happy and stress free, otherwise you age faster than you can imagine.”

Aoki has been on the cover of I-D magazine three times. She was also the face of Lancome cosmetics for four years. Aoki posed for renowned Singaporean photographer Leslie Kee for Kee's 2006 charity photo-book "Super Stars", dedicated to the victims of the 2004 Asian tsunami disaster, which consists of photographs of 300 Asian celebrities by Kee. The same year, Aoki posed for photographer Marc Baptiste’s book Nudes wearing a dress.
In September 2007, it was announced she was designing jeans line for Levi's, although the line was only available in Asia.[4]
Aoki recently made a return to the runway, walking for the Chanel Pre-Fall 2008 show in London. She is signed to 1/One Management New York (owned by her mother), d-Management Milan, and City Paris.
Trivia
Aoki lives on her own in Los Angeles, and keeps her personal life private.
She is interested in writing poetry, playing the drums and hanging out with her two pet snakes.
In 2006, Aoki's father, Hiroaki Aoki, sued four of his seven children for attempting to take control of the companies he founded. Devon, uninvolved in the family business, was not one of the four.[5]
Her half-brother, Steve Aoki, is a Los Angeles DJ and the founder of Dim Mak Records. Aoki also has three sisters—Ellie, Grace, and Echo—and three other brothers—Kyle, Kevin, and Cole Price

Happy Birthday Michelle Yeoh May God Bless You.....

Early life & career
Michelle Yeoh Choo Kheng was born to a prominent ethnic Chinese family in Ipoh, Malaysia on August 6, 1962. Her parents were Janet Yeoh and Dato' Yeoh Kian Teik, a lawyer and MCA politician.[2] She was very active when she was young and had a passion for dance. She started to study ballet at the age of four years old. At age 15, she went to England, accompanied by her parents, who enrolled her at a boarding school there. Yeoh later entered London Royal Academy of Dance, majoring in Ballet. However, a spinal injury shattered her lifelong dream of being a prima ballerina, and she consequently had to switch her focus away from dance to choreography and other arts. She later received a B.A. degree in Creative Arts with a minor in Drama.
In 1983, at the age of 21, Yeoh won the Miss Malaysia beauty pageant. She was also Malaysia's representative at the 1983 Miss World pageant in London. From there, she appeared in a television commercial with Jackie Chan which caught the attention of a fledgling Hong Kong film production company, D&B Films.
Yeoh's career in Hong Kong started with a few commercials for Charles Jourdan, opposite action movie heroes Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-Fat before being offered a film contract. The Charles Jourdan brand was handled by D&B Group in Hong Kong, run by Yeoh's future husband, Dickson Poon. In 1988, she retired from acting after marrying Poon. Three years later, the couple divorced and Yeoh returned to acting in 1992. Her first movie after the comeback was Police Story 3, which was partly shot in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Ascension to fame
Yeoh started her film career acting in action and martial arts films such as The Heroic Trio in 1993, and the Yuen Woo-ping films Tai Chi Master and Wing Chun in 1994. Yeoh has had no formal martial arts training and she relies on her dance training and instructors, and does many of her own stunts.[3]
Yeoh learned English and Malay before Cantonese, and cannot read Chinese characters. As she does not speak Mandarin, she learned the lines for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon phonetically.
She starred in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies as Wai Lin (1997). Natasha Henstridge was rumored to be cast in the lead Bond girl role but eventually Yeoh was confirmed.[4] Brosnan was impressed, describing her as a "wonderful actress" who was "serious and committed about her work".[5] He referred to her as a "female James Bond" in reference to her combat abilities. She wanted to perform her own stunts but was prevented because director Roger Spottiswoode ruled it too dangerous and uninsured. However, she did perform all of her fighting scenes.[6][7] Thereafter, she was offered the role of Seraph in the two sequels to The Matrix, but she could not accept due to a scheduling conflict (the Matrix writers then changed Seraph into a male character and cast Collin Chou in the role).[8] In 2002, she produced her first English film, The Touch through her own production company, Mythical Films.
In 2005, Yeoh starred as the graceful Mameha in the film adaptation of Memoirs of a Geisha, and she continued her English-language work in 2007 with Sunshine. In 2008, Michelle Yeoh also starred in the fantasy action film The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor with actors Brendan Fraser and Jet Li.[9]
Personal life
Yeoh is related to other famous Yeoh such as Yeoh Ghim Seng and Benjamin Yeoh. Her niece, Becky Yeoh, is also the subject of a internet viral hit, and parody music video, that was recorded in Cambridge in 2007, called ' Yeoh Technology', which can be seen at [http://www.zduk.co.uk ZD Studio's Youtube page.
Yeoh was previously married to Hong Kong businessman Dickson Poon, who owns businesses such as Harvey Nichols and Charles Jourdan.[10]

Awards
On 19 April 2001, Yeoh was awarded the Darjah Datuk Paduka Mahkota Perak (DPMP), which carries the title Dato' by Sultan Azlan Shah, the Sultan of Perak, her home state, in recognition of the fame she brought to the state.[12] The award was given in conjunction with the Sultan's 73rd birthday celebrations. Dato is an honorary Malaysian title somewhat like a British knighthood, and it lies below the ranks of Dato' Seri, Tan Sri, and Tun.
On 25 November 2002, Michelle Yeoh was honored as The Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP) (Cultural Achievement) by JCI (Junior Chamber International).
On 23 April 2007 President Jacques Chirac awarded her Knight of the Legion of Honour of France. The decoration was presented to her in a ceremony in Kuala Lumpur on 3 October 2007.[13]

Wishing Kajol, a very Happy Birthday

Shakespeare once asked 'What's in a name?' The reason as to why he asked that was probably because, at that time, he surely must not have heard of 'Kajol'. The name Kajol immediately sends electrifying vibes to anyone and everyone who hears it.
Today, the whole of Bollywood is celebrating and has every reason to do so as it is the B-Day of its very own eternal 'Simran' aka Kajol and vice versa! Kajol, for starters, made her acting debut with Rahul Rawail's Bekhudi. Even though the film did not shine at the Box-Office, it gifted Bollywood its very own firebrand actress, Kajol, who later went onto become a name that's synonymous with many smash-hit films. While others demand a Numero Uno status, Kajol is (and forever will be) one actress who simply commands it! Baazigar, DDLJ, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Fanaa etc… are standing testimonies of the same!
Even though many may deny on the face of it, but the eternal truth remains that Kajol's recent comeback in Bollywood has been giving sleepless nights' galore to many heroines. Such is the power of Kajol!
Join Bollywood Hungama as we put our hands together in wishing this actress a "Very Happy Birthday" by posting your wishes below.

He then transferred to Columbia University in New York City, where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations.
In late 1988, Obama entered Harvard Law School and was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review at the end of his first year, based on his grades and a writing competition. Then, in February 1990, he was elected president of the Law Review – the first black president of the Law Review. It was a full-time volunteer position functioning as editor-in-chief and supervising the Law Review's staff of eighty editors.
For twelve years, Obama was employed as a professor at the University of Chicago Law School, teaching constitutional law. From 1992 – 1996, he was classified as a Lecturer, but then became a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004. He met his wife, Michelle, in 1989, whilst working at the Chicago law firm of Sidley Austin. Michelle was assigned as Obama's adviser at the firm and they began dating later that summer. They got engaged in 1991, and were married on October 3, 1992. The couple has two daughters, Malia Ann and Natasha.
In 1996, Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate, taking over from State Senator Alice Palmer as Senator from Illinois' 13th District. He was reelected to the Illinois Senate in 1998, and then again in 2002, however he lost a Democratic primary run for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, to Bobby Rush by a small margin. Obama resigned from the Illinois Senate in November 2004 following his election to the US Senate.
In February 2007, Obama announced his candidacy for President of the United States, and throughout his campaign emphasized the issues of rapidly ending the Iraq War, increasing energy independence, and providing universal health care. Finally, on November 4, 2008, Barack Obama defeated John McCain in the general election and became the first African American to be elected President of the United States.
