I never understood the concept of writer’s block but when I read about it in an article I got it. Let me explain in simple words. Writer’s block occurs when your thoughts are constricted and your mind is just purely what can I say BLANK!!
My head is blank now, yeah! But I have decided to come out of this what do you call block thing and write up the Top 10 Survivor Tips For a Blank Mind.
10) Move to the left. Move to the right. Dance.
You’re thinking how can I dance when I have to write up a 600 words long report? That’s what I’m saying! When you’re in stress just let loose and try to relax. Move your feet, if you’re a girl do the “desi thumka” or if you are a guy do the ”bhangra” because that will help you have relief and feel free!
9) Take a walk
Feel like too much pressure coming from the bosses or teachers? Take a walk around and let your mind settle down, let your thoughts wander freely. Then return and start with a fresh mind.
8 ) Whine
You think that whining is a job for girls but hear me out. When you have too much bottled up inside, you need to vent. How do you do that? Grab your sibling/friend or ask your parents nicely that “I want to talk and only I will talk so just listen”. Pour out everything you feel is making you moody and uncomfortable! You will feel better.
When anyone sits with me, the first topic they should discuss is ME!! Hamza Quddusi is no exception! When I met him, of course the first topic we discussed was about me, we won’t get into WHAT about me! When I asked him if I could interview him, his answer? Sure! I was very much excited because he is the lead guitarist of CHEAPMUNKS! It’s a Pakistani band consisting of Mehak Taherani, Suhana Baloch, Hamza Quddusi and Danyal Pervaiz. They have captured the music scene of Pakistan with their one of a kind mash up songs!
I asked Hamza many questions, silly as well, which he answered very patiently, here is just a bit of it!
How does it feel like to be a in a band, be a popular name? Hamza answers: ‘Pretty good actually, when you’re up there on stage playing, you get an adrenaline rush, you get excited, you know billions of people are watching but you’re in your own world. It feels good at the end of the day when people appreciate’.
As long as I remember I have been watching SRK’s movies, they are so addictive, showing his hardcore acting and dancing skills. He has so many die-hard fans, from children to teenagers to adults to grandparents, he is a popular one! Especially over here in Pakistan, when people got to know Ra.One, which stars Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal was releasing here, they got so excited, as well as just happy to be witnessing a movie which will change the whole prospect of cinema!
People lovingly call him ‘King Khan’ because he has been ruling Bollywood for quite some time now! He has had many hits in his career, breaking box office records. He has done a variety of roles, being a villain in Darr (’93) and Baazigar (’93), while showcasing a hero in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (’95) and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (’98), a comic role in Zamana Deewana (’95) and lastly a man with Asperger’s syndrome in My Name Is Khan (’10). He has won numerous awards, including fourteen Filmfare awards. He is recognized for being a humble, kind and honest human being!

Tony Curtis
He was born in 1925 when the masses were still swooning for silent icons like Rudolph Valentino. By the late 1950s he was a household name heartthrob himself if not a silent one. Still, that oft imitated Bronx accent “yonda lies the castle of my fadduh” couldn’t derail his movie ascendance.
History continually teaches movie stars — though scant few of them seem to really listen — that what’s important is not the paycheck or even necessarily a great role but working on enough top notch material with top directors to wind up in a few classics. It’s one of the only ways to ensure that you are remembered, if screen immortality is indeed your goal.
Curtis, like any star, had his share of duds but history has and will continue to remember him because he appeared in a good share of classics, most notably that one-two-three-four punch of Sweet Smell of Success (1957), The Defiant Ones (1958), Some Like it Hot (1959) and Spartacus (1960).

If you believe that you have seen the best of SRK think again. This movie will rock your world upside down and it will make you wonder how come an actor can make you fall in love with him every time he performs in a movie. The story, full staff of the movie everything to the smallest details has been crafted as an unforgettable master piece that will live in the hearts and thoughts of audience for years and years to come. SRK has raised the bar again giving all other actors and film makers a level that is hard to reach.

I have found this article about newly released Indian Movie “My Name is Khan” while surfing net and being a big fan of Shahrukh Khan I would like to share this with you guys:
Just when 3 Idiots was supposed to be the biggest hit ever, Shahrukh Khan’s My Name is Khan has broken world records for a Bollywood film. It has bettered all previous international box office records to record the highest-ever single opening day collections for a Hindi film.
