Cinema NINJA : Hilarious concept


The Prince Charles Cinema, in London's West End, has come up with a unique solution to the problem of patrons using their cell phones, throwing popcorn, or having conversations during a movie: NINJA.

The Cinema has teamed up with Morphsuits, a Scottish company that produces skin-tight, head-to-toe zentail suits, to create their own volunteer movie theater "ninja task force." 

These 'theater ninjas' aren't actually trained in the dark arts of Ninjutsu - they're simply film lovers who provide their services in exchange for free admission to films.

Chinese New Year: Fun and Respect

Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. In China, it is known as 'Spring Festival'

Southeast Asia's largest temple — Kek Lok Si in PenangMalaysia — illuminated in preparation for the Lunar New Year
The festival begins on the first day of the first month in the traditional Chinese calendar and ends with Lantern Festival which is on the 15th day. Chinese New Year's Eve, a day where Chinese families gather for their annual reunion dinner, is known as Chúxī (除夕), literally "remove evening" or "Eve of the Passing Year."

New Year Celebration: Times Square Ball




Times Square Ball :


The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held  in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year.


The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels

The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion.

ISI officer provided cartridges for 26/11, claims Abu Jundal


ISI officer provided cartridges for 26/11, claims Abu Jundal


New Delhi: A day after Pakistan said it rejects any insinuation of state support for the terrorists who ravaged Mumbai in 2008, Abu Jundal has provided crucial details that suggest the opposite. The terrorist has said that an officer from Pakistan's military intelligence agency, ISI, provided two cartons of cartridges that were used during the 26/11 attacks.

Jundal is in the custody of the Delhi Police after he was deported from Saudi Arabia last month. The ISI officer he refers to is Major Sameer. Jundal is originally from Maharashtra; he has said he was in a control room in Karachi which coordinated and instructed the ten terrorists who opened fire at Mumbai landmarks, killing 166 people. Over the last few days, his interrogation has led to references to a series of ISI officers.
