More news →Kunal Khemu - From an underdog to street-smart guy
When Kunal Khemu made his debut as a male lead in 'Kalyug', he came virtually as an underdog, both on and off the screens. He wasn't made to sit high on the pedestal (rightly so!) by the Bhatts and his (very good) work spoke for him. Even in the film, his character was shown as an underdog before he joined hands with the character played by Emraan Hashmi and took on the entire system run by Amrita Singh. In contrast he has quite a different personality and outlook in his next release 'Traffic Signal'. While his presence in the film is still being underplayed by the makers of 'Traffic Signal', what cannot be denied is that fact that he plays one of the most fabulous roles ever written for the lead characters in a mainstream film. In 'Traffic Signal', an ensemble piece, he plays a 'Manager' whose responsibility involves managing their issues, space allocation, personal/professional queries apart from the usual job of collecting the routine 'hafta'! Looking forward to this street-smart act by Kunal where he turns a volte-face when thrown against unforeseen circumstances!

Sonu Nigam Sang On A Busy Street For Hours And No One Noticed!
We all love Sonu Nigam and his soulful voice. The singer has won many accolades, awards and millions of hearts with his songs. However, as a social experiment, and to reiterate the importance of small things in life, he disguised himself as an old street singer and sang for hours on a Juhu street. For Sonu, the most memorable part of the exercise was when a boy walked up to him and asked him if he had had lunch and gave him Rs 12. He has actually framed those Rs 12 and hopes to meet that boy again someday.
'Street view' goes undersea to map reefs, wonders
It's easy to go online and get a 360-degree, ground-level view of almost any street in the United States and throughout the world. Soon, scientists hope people will be able to do the same with coral reefs and other underwater wonders. U.S. government scientists are learning to use specialized fisheye lenses underwater in the Florida Keys this week in hopes of applying "street view" mapping to research and management plans in marine sanctuaries nationwide. Some of the rotating and panoramic images will be available online as early as this week, including a selection on Google Maps, giving the public a window into ecosystems still difficult and costly to explore for long stretches of time. It will be like scuba diving from your computer. About 400,000 images have been produced so far of reefs off Australia and in the Caribbean, but this is the first time the technology is being used in U.S. waters. The images in the U.S. will add scale and details to data that's already been collected, and illustrate the successes and failures of coral restoration. They will also help scientists study the effects of warming ocean temperatures, pollution and hurricanes on reefs, officials said. "This allows people who can't get underwater to understand what we mean by putting up a special preservation area around this particular spot," said Mitchell Tartt, chief of the conservation science division at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. The basketball-shaped, triple-lens SVII cameras use the same technology that's used to produce Google Street View images of neighborhoods on land. Instead of being placed on top of a car, the 143-pound riggings are tethered to scuba divers and powered through the water by small motors. Smaller versions mounted on tripods also are being tested in the Keys this week. In images previewed Monday by project director Richard Vevers, endangered elkhorn coral, bleached fields of dead coral and coral nurseries suspended like hanging plants in the Keys' blue waters were in sharp focus as they rotated on screen. In an hour-long dive, each camera can capture images over an area up to 20 times larger than what's available with traditional underwater photography equipment, Vevers said. The technology also records GPS data and quickly stitches the images together into panoramic views or 360-degree views. The cameras and training in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary for six NOAA officials are being paid for as part of a partnership with the Catlin Seaview Survey, funded by the global insurance company Catlin. Google also is a sponsor. The images that have been produced so far from other Catlin surveys are being uploaded online to the Catlin Global Reef Record. The project also moves next into Southeast Asia, Vevers said. While the main survey continues worldwide, the smaller cameras will be available for targeted projects within NOAA sanctuaries, such as gauging the effectiveness of preservation zones in California's Monterey Bay sanctuary, or they could help measure the impacts of landslides that fall into the water. The corporate sponsorship offers consistency in equipment, training and data, Vevers said. Catlin's sustainability director, John Carroll, would only say the cost was "fairly substantial." The benefit to the Bermuda-based company also would be substantial, he said, because there are a lot of insurable assets that depend on climate change. "Clearly as an insurance company, we're keen to help manage this risk because, you know, that's our business," Carroll said.
Google Street View lets users explore Angkor’s 1000-year-old temples
From student backpackers traveling on a shoestring to retirees crossing off another place on the bucket list, Angkor in Cambodia is on the itinerary of just about every keen globetrotter. And now it’s on Google Street View, too. The historic location, famous for its prominent role in the nation’s ancient Khmer empire that once took in large parts of south-east Asia, as well as for its numerous 1000-year-old temples, has been captured by the Street View team in more than 90,000 panoramic images, Google Maps’ Manik Gupta said in a blog post announcing the new content. “The temples at Angkor each have a unique story – whether it’s the way they were built, the ancient Khmer cities they sit on, or the artwork they contain,” Gupta wrote in the post. To gather the material, which includes both the exteriors and interiors of Angkor’s many historic buildings, Gupta said the team used all available equipment, including Street View cars, body-based Trekker cameras, and good old-fashioned tripods. “Whether it’s revisiting iconic sites such as Bayon Temple in time for the Khmer New Year or studying the Ramayana’s Battle of Lanka bas-relief carvings within Angkor Wat, Street View can help you more easily explore Angkor’s rich heritage,” Gupta wrote. And once you’re done exploring the temples and surrounding area of this unique UNESCO World Heritage site, you can find out more about Angkor’s historical and artistic heritage by visiting the Google Cultural Institute, online of course, here. The bundle of material includes everything from images of 12th-century sculptures and mid-20th-century photography to modern-day renderings of medieval Angkor life, all of which offers an insight into Khmer culture through the ages. Google’s Street View team has been rolling out a ton of new content for armchair explorers in the last couple of years, with recent additions including a gondola ride through the waterways of Venice, a stroll around the Galapagos Islands, a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon, and a visit to a Lamborghini museum in Milan. Last month it even went polar bear spotting in Manitoba.
