Winter Solstice 2011: On December 22 the Shortest Day of the Year!
Dec 21st
The winter solstice is celebrated around the world as the beginning of the return of the sun, and darkness turning into light. In 2011, the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere will occur on Dec. 22, 2011 at 12:30 a.m. EST. Officially the first day of winter, the winter solstice occurs when the North Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees away from the sun. This is the longest night of the year, meaning that despite the cold winter, the days get progressively longer after the winter solstice until the summer solstice in 2012. For those in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year.
The word “solstice” comes from the Latin word “solstitum”, that means the Sun standing still. This is reference to the fact that the Sun no longer appears to be moving either further north or south on the sky and afterward starts to reverse More >

Dec 19th
Bigg Boss Season 5: In the latest eviction episode of BB5 Shonali Nagarani was evicted from the house. That was not at all surprising but the actual surprise was when Salman Khan entered the house for a while to fill some common sense and decency in the brains of the remaining contestants.
He tried not to be rude to the overly rude contestants. He is very upset about Sky walking away while Mr. Sanjay Dutt is talking to him. He did that not once but twice.
As the episode starts Salman went to enter the house and Sanjay enter the house through the V-TV. Sky apologized for his behavior previous week but Mr. Dutt remained silent with some hand gesture which really not very positively meant that he forgave him. Then Sanjay asked Juhi that who are the 2 strongest male contestants in the house. She named Andrew Simmonds and Sky are the strongest and Sanjay arranged an arm wrestling game between those two in which andrew won the game.
Andrew went to the store room to get his prize and met Salman khan there. Both of them met sweetly and then Amar was there and surprised More >

Bigg Boss 5 Winner?
Dec 15th
Who will be Bigg Boss season 5 winner?? The BB house may be the most infamous house in India with its contestants and their dirty pasts, but this house is the most popular house too. Bigg Boss is the reality show with controversial contests trying to co-existing in a house detached from any type of communication from outside world. The show’s fifth season is on the run currently and is only 3 weeks far from its finale.
It need no introduction for the dedicated viewers. Some call this show a lunatic attempt to exploit human emotions but i think otherwise. I like to watch this show and analyze the human behavior under a restricted environment. Its like an experiment on human behavior and viewers response to the events is kind of amazing.
In my opinion none of the contestants are totally genuine or totally fake. But one thing I observed is… no one will be able to pretend for a long time. We will definitely see their true nature. I don’t want to be judgmental about anyone but want to give my opinion on contestants. I know none of the contestant personally and all I know about them is from media only.
With no offense to any body the first person I would come up with is Pooja Bedi. When she entered the house I liked her behavior, her ability to stand for the right things. But with the entry of Sky the equation and my opinion both changed. She favored him completely started supporting his loud behavior. After she formed a group with Sky, Juhi, Shonali and Sid started bitching about Pooja Mishra, Amar and the others. She used to like Mahek in the beginning. I remember her saying “Mehak is a nice girl.” Pooja Bedi and Mehak were More >
