Eid Mubarak

Aye Chand
Jab Wo Teri Tarf Dekhain
To Unhain Kuch Yaad Delana
Madh-hur Se Kuch Geet Sunana
Phir Chupkey Se Un K Pass Jana
Aur Kehna....!
Tumhain Koi Yad Karta Hai.
Teri Arzo, Teri Umeed Karta Hai
Koi Ajj Be
Tumhain Dekh Kr
EID karta Hai.

Trouble in Salman’s paradise?

Salman Khan has a way of finding himself in controversies, break-ups, link-ups, brawls etc. Good publicity or bad publicity, but Salman is always in the news. This time the man has found himself in yet another problem. The buzz is that his lady love Katrina has given her consent to Shah Rukh Khan to be a part of his upcoming Temptations tour. The mega show that is scheduled to begin sometime next month was launched last week with great fanfare.

The buzz is that at the event Katrina Kaif was seen grating with her beau’s arch enemy Shah Rukh Khan. “On the stage, they looked very comfortable with each other. Considering that the two have never worked together at all, their chemistry was great,” says an eye witness who was present at the venue where the promotion show for Temptations was happening.

Salman has been very vocal about him not approving of Vivek Oberoi, John Abraham and Shah Rukh Khan. He has also said that he did not want Kats to share the screen space with his enemies. Well, that not all, the cherry on the cake is the news about Shah Rukh and Katrina doing the next Yash Chopra film. “The film was offered to her by Yash Raj at a time when Salman is not in the country, so as not to cause any hiccups. And in all probabilities Kaif has agreed to do the film,” revealed the insider.

With Katrina behaving like a rebel and defying all rules laid by boyfriend Salman Khan, wonder where their relationship is headed. Well that a question that can be best answered by the lady herself. But in the meantime, Katrina Kaif is enjoying the perks of being in the Shah Rukh Khan camp.

This mosque has a Saddam link

The largest mosque in Modasa town - Shahi-Kot Masjid - was actually renovated by money that former Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein sent for upgradation and renovation of mosque in early 1980's . The mosque is called the Saddam Hussein Shahi-Kot Masjid of Sunni Muslims.

This mosque is operated by trustees of Barelvi community of Sunni sect. The placard outside this mosque states that foundation of mosque was laid by Hakim Jalal Pir Mashari of Ahmedabad. In 1980s, a large part of this mosque had collapsed. At this time, Saddam was president of Iraq and his government agreed to extend help for renovation of mosque.

If Only Dreams Came True

I'll never forget the way you looked
When I saw you there that night;
The way you just seemed to glow
In the warm and gentle light.

You walked over and asked me to dance-
I answered with a smile
As if you knew it's what I'd do,
Knew it all the while

So we went my hand your,
To dance the night away
And gaze into each others eyes
As the night turned into day.

We were alone, dancing there,
Together me and you
But then it fades into a mist...
If only dreams came true
