Eskil Ronningsbakken’s Incredible Feats of Balance
We have come across many stunt loving personalities who scale high risers and pretty tall structures. While trekking is an adventure for some, it’s hard to believe what Eskil Ronningsbakken after scaling the peaks of mountains. Yes! He goes not alone but with a bicycle and various other props like chair, rope, fake gun, ladder, etc., to unwind by dangerously balancing which people like us wouldn’t dare to dream off.
A glimpse of a few pictures below is sufficient to give you a spine chilling experience. These the photographed while he was on a rampage between two cliffs at 10,000 feet high at Norway. Enjoy!!!

Superstar Rajnikanth Leads Reunion of Southern Stars of 80s
Who said the reunion is only for alumni? This second reunion of different kind in Chennai has kindled a special interest and probably this would kick start as many different kinds of reunions from different southern states. If one has forgotten the actresses, who sizzled on the screen on 80s, this event would help them reminisce fondly. Yes! A yester year actress Lissy Priyadarshan stumbled upon the idea of a gathering together all the actors and actresses who contributed to the film industry in 80s. She herself must have been utterly surprised by the response she got for the programme. What else will be the reaction if one gets to know that superstars like Rajnikanth (who also graced the first reunion), Chiranjeevi and Mohan Lal were promptly present in this reunion programme inspite of their well packed calendars?

Join in Wishing Mother Teresa on her Birth Centenary
Mother Teresa was the founder of Missionaries of Charity in Kolkota, India in 1950, when she was just 40 years old. From then on it was point of no return for this Noble Lady who went on to become a Noble prize winner for her selfless service to the poor and needy. Her approach and the results were so different that she has become an example for such selfless service compared to anyone in the Globe. She went on to spread the organization to 123 countries with 610 missions, be it a person suffering from HIV/AIDS or tuberculosis, leprosy or for that matter any such disease which keeps a person away from the society is something which Mother Teresa fondly embraced sending a strong message that these are the people needing the utmost attention and care. A darling of many governments she was a special guest of honour to many chiefs of states who never failed to recognize her efforts and support her with right kind of aids to facilitate her march briskly on her crusade. Honored by many countries with many awards, she topped them all with a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 1980 for her humanitarian work.
God was not kind enough to let her live beyond the age of 87 when she passed away on September 5th, 1997. Today, August 26th, 2010, is her birthday centenary and we wish her soul to rest in peace and salute the others who carry on the left out job with the same commitment and dedication.
