'Rock On' at 13 on International Music Chart

It's the first time for an Indian album - listed on International Music Chart

The popularity of "Rock On" climbed a notch higher as its music album stood 13th on last week's iTunes US World Music page.The film's music album, charged at $8.91, followed Californian reggae band's "Rebelution" that is ranked 12."The music of 'Rock On' is catching on very well. This is the first time an Indian album has reached so high on iTunes," Kulmeet Makkar, CEO, Big Music and Home Entertainment, told IANS.The Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG)-promoted Big Music is behind the launch of the film's music.The film, released on August 29, has been widely lauded for its robust rock soundtrack created by composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. It's songs "Pichhle saat dino mein", "Rock on", "Socha hai" and "Sindbad the sailor" are being hummed by youngsters galore.The fact that it is now among the top 15 albums on iTunes indicates the popularity of the film's music beyond Indian shores."The music of 'Rock On' is not typically Indian. It is rock, which is a world genre and it also has a big youth connect," Makkar said."iTunes is the number one site for music download abroad and we are very proud that 'Rock On' has made it till there. The fact that the music has been accepted abroad and is doing well is a major boost for us," he added.Makkar clarified that the earning from the music download from iTunes is not monetarily very profitable, but it proves beneficial in the long run as the platform provides international visibility."According to our distribution structure, we distributed the music to 370 online stores across 45 countries. But we still don't consider it a profitable revenue stream. The main revenue streams for the music are ringtones and audio CDs," he added.Makkar explained that since people in India prefer to download music illegally from Internet sites free rather than paying for it, it is difficult for them to penetrate the Indian online music market.The sales of the audio CDs have however "become very encouraging", he said.The music album of "Rock On" has nine soundtracks out of which six have been crooned by filmmaker Farhan Akhtar, who has made his acting debut with the film as well. Apart from Farhan, the film has introduced actresses Prachi Desai and Shahana Goswami."Farhan's voice is exceptional and added a lot of authenticity to the songs as he plays a singer in the film. It also makes people feel that even though you may not be a professional singer, you can also sing. Farhan has added honesty to the songs," Makkar said.Makkar said that the film's DVD will be released by the end of October but for those who want to enjoy the rock concerts in the film, a DVD of the songs will be released very soon.Big 92.7 FM, also a part of Reliance ADAG-promoted Reliance Entertainment, has been arranging major on-ground activities to promote the film. One of the highlights is the "Rock On" concert that has already been held in Mumbai, Pune and New Delhi and left the audience wanting more.Set in Mumbai, "Rock On" has an urban feel and revolves around a group of four aspiring musicians who form a hippie rock band called "Magic".It is led by singer Aditya (Farhan) and also has temperamental guitarist Joe Mascarenhas (Rampal), talented keyboard player Rob (Kenny) and drummer Kedar Zaveri (Kohli).

worlds oldest man in Japan Celebrates its 112th Birthday

18th September - One hundred and twelve candles on the cake for the world's oldest man, who earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records back in June 2006. Tomoji Tanabe was born Sept. 18, 1895, and was named the world's oldest male after the death of a Puerto Rican man in January at the age of 115.

Tomoji Tanabe, a Japanese man born on 18 September 1895, has celebrated his record birthday at home in Miyakonojo, on the island of Kyushu, 900 kilometres south-west of the capital.

The town's Mayor paid his respects with a bunch of flowers and a cheque for 850 yen, equal to around 650 euro. And of course, the question about the secret of a long life.Drink milk, steer clear of alcohol and eat healthily: lots of greens and a breakfast of rice soup, miso (fermented soya) and algae.

Tanabe claims that he has never stopped keeping his diary, reading every daily paper of the day and going for a walk alone.

"He is in really good health", doctors assure us. "I want to live for ever, I do not want to die", he told journalists. It is a target that more and more Japanese are attaining: according to statistics, there are over 32,000 hundred-year-olds.The women of the rising sun have held the world record in longevity for the past twenty-two years, with the men second only to Icelanders. However, with life-expectancies growing and birth-rates falling, Japan risks a demographic crisis, warn experts.Wishing Birthday of Tomoji Tanabe to Post Your Valuable Comments

20/20 world cricket championship series to kick off today !!

One may not be familiar with the “20/20 cricket series” but the cricket enthusiasts around the world are all set to wel ..........One may not be familiar with the “20/20 cricket series” but the cricket enthusiasts around the world are all set to welcome the wonder game .This is the first time in the cricket history that two world cups will be organized in a year especially in just 05 months duration. All the participating nations especially the top eight test playing countries are expecting to capture the cup, which became disappointed in the 50-50-world cup. On the other hand Australia is eyeing to grab all the top honors to prove its superiority to others.20-20 cricket was first introduced at county level by the England and Wales Cricket Board in 2003. In this format of cricket each team bats for a maximum of only 20 overs a side, with each innings lasting for 75 minutes.

20-20 World Cup Rules
A Bowler may bowl a maximum of only 4 overs per innings.
Umpires may award 5-run penalty runs at their discretion if they believe either team is wasting time.
The following fielding restrictions apply:
No more than 5 fielders can be on the leg side at any time.
During the first 6 overs, a maximum of 2 fielders can be outside the 30-yard circle.
After the first 6 overs, a maximum of 5 fielders can be outside the fielding circle.
Should a bowler deliver a no ball by overstepping the popping crease, it costs 2 runs and his next delivery is designated a free-hit, from which the batsman can only be dismissed through a run out.
If the fielding team do not start to bowl their 20th over within 75 minutes, the batting side is credited an extra 6 runs for every whole over bowled after the 75 minute mark; the umpire may add more time to this, if he considers the batting team is wasting time.
If the match ends with the scores tied and there must be a winner, the tie is broken with a bowl-out (similar to a penalty shoot-out in football); with 5 bowlers from each side delivering 2 balls each at an unguarded wicket. If the number of wickets is equal after the first 10 balls per side, the bowling continues and is decided by sudden death.

world kissing record !!! .....amazing !!!

Close to 7,000 couples smooched late on Saturday in the Bosnian town of Tuzla.
Close to 7,000 couples smooched late on Saturday in the Bosnian town of Tuzla in an bid to break the world simultaneous kissing record. With fireworks, a giant TV screen, confetti and heart-shaped red balloons as the backdrop, the crowd kissed for at least ten seconds at 1100 p.m. local time (0900 p.m. GMT).
"We broke the record, it's great," said Kristina Gligorovic, the event's public relations officer. She said the record should be recognised after they submit video footage and documentation showing 6,980 couples locked in simultaneous kiss.
The organisers of the so-called Love Revolution hope to take over the crown from Hungary where 6,400 couples set the current Guinness World Record for the total numbers kissing simultaneously in June this year.
Tuzla's Islamic community protested against the event, saying that public exposure of love was contrary to Islamic tradition. Muslims make up roughly a half of the town's population.
But Tuzla Mayor Jasmin Imamovic said the event was aimed at promoting the town and its multi-ethnic community.
"We cherish the philosophy of love and not hatred. Let the love revolution start from here," he said.
