'I believe in miracles… and trust me I have good reason to believe they happen to normal people, smiles Dr. Jatin Chaudhry.
I have seen patients pull through extreme conditions and that’s what keeps me going- the fact that nothing is impossible. All one needs is a positive attitude, faith in god and most importantly, loads of patience.
Trained in Italy, armed with a PHD, Dr.Jatin Chaudhry has worked hard at establishing and popularizing this Korean therapy which is basically ‘regeneration of cells, wherein the pulse of the patient is first found and then various points identified which are then in turn stimulated using needles, current and laser treatments apart from various other painless mechanisms. This treatment is extremely popular in Italy and is called the Inghams Method. There are just a handful of doctors practicing this therapy as it requires a PHD and many years of medical study. I guess I simply got lucky to have manged it all this early in life.
‘Each session takes about two – three hours and a couple of weeks at least but that depends upon the nature of the ailment, says the doctor. ' Sure there are limitations and we can only do so much but if we can reduce pain levels and enhance the quality of life, then that itself is a high. May I stress again that one needs to be patient…it takes time to heal and for us that time period is crucial.
In just one and a half years of practice Dr. Chaudhry has managed to heal patients suffering from deadly diseases like cancer, AIDS, cerebral palsy, visual impairment, spinal disorders apart from diabetes, kidney ailmets etc- the list is endless.
With a team comprising of just four young enthusiasts, together they treat about 80 patients a day. 'We function as a team and the contribution of the other three assistants is immense and critical,' says he.
After having treated Sania Mirza and Yuvraj Singh successfully, this dedicated team of four have been barraged by calls from all over the world and would love to attend to each one.. 'We request all who call us to please understand that we are trying hard to accommodate each one and it takes time for appointments. Please do understand our predicament,’ says Dr. Chaudhry earnestly. ‘We want to reach out to each one suffering and in pain and that is the reason I returned to India, to be with my people. To send out the message of love and oneness by reaching out to all. Life is beautiful, full of love and worth fighting for. There is still a lot that can be done, that needs to be discovered and quite honestly, I am discovering more aspects to this therapy with each new patient.
The most beautiful moment of my life was to see my eighteen year old patient regain his vision and just that moment keeps me going. So can we, through this interview just reiterate the fact that belief and patience are enough to take us wherever we want to be.’
Words of wisdom from a twenty seven old but one that inspires hope in the young generation, that believes in the power of love and faith.

Fighting Crime with Speaker Identification
Mumbai. A city that is truly vibrant. One that has embraced one and all... with a spirit that is exemplary for its resilience and optimism.
A city that today fights terrorism and opression surprisingly from internal sources as well as from foreign shores.. The spirit struggles to stay alive.
Its deeply distressing for us mumbaikars.
I wanted to share with all this interesting piece of information I stumbled upon which could well aid the support system and fight back.
Let us support this interesting piece of technology so that our country can protect itself better.
Fighting Crime with Speaker Identification
Finland police are harnessing the power of Speaker Identification Technology to fight terror and crime reports Helsingin Sanomat (10/11/2008). A speech database of wanted people will be available to police nationwide, and it will function similar to DNA and fingerprint databases currently available with the police. The system detects a person just on the basis of their voice from phone call or other recordings.
DNA and fingerprint matches help only post-facto and only after a suspect is in the bag, whereas speaker identification helps anytime a suspect uses a phone or leaves a voice record somewhere; clues can come before an actual strike. It can be of immense help to Intelligence Agencies in their efforts to detect planned acts of terror.
Terror operatives change devices and SIMs all the time, so it is hard to find who is behind a number at a given time. But voice fragments, snatched from any speech channel -phone, radio, Internet, etc. - can provide substantial leads immediately and automatically. This can guide pre-emption and investigation both.
Speech experts say that modern Speaker Identification technology can work with minimal training data and detect suspects in near real time. Clues to planned strikes can save innocent lives and speaker identification is a potent technology for obtaining these. It is heartening to note that such advanced technology is now available in India itself, a team of ex-IITians having developed it recently.

KAB TAK
This is an appeal to all non Indians… please respect the industry and the country you come to seek work in.
Recently yet another Pakistani model/ actress crossed the border.
Its amazing how obsessed they are with hindi films. No celebration is complete without a hindi film song. Hindi movies are eagerly awaited and styles copied shamelessly.
The past couple of years have seen several artistes move to Mumbai and work in the industry and yet there are repeated unhealthy comments and digs at the glamour world. Pakistanis never fail to blog about how cheap and crass the Indian film industry is and yet they continue to blog about indian artistes and cinema...their daily newspapers and websites are buzzing with ‘bollywood news’ and gossip...
What is most upsetting however, is that these very foreigners are not averse to wooing the media, even using them to get work but continue to spit venom at the content of the films, the scripts and vow never to wear short skirts and reveal.. but if you take a look at the youth of pakistan, they are deeply influenced by the west and their social gatherings consist of scantily dressed women...
These aspiring artistes are not embarassed about looking ttheir nose down at mainstream actors, never mind the fact that they secretly send feelers to the same people for work.
Please guys,stop humiliating yourselves and your country...and value your rich heritage.
Come if you must but do handle yourself with some dignity and respect the country that has the grace to welcome you with such warmth.You only make a fool of yourself for face it, you need us - we most certainly don't need such hypocrites in the garb of well-fed boa constricters..
wake up.....

KHUDA KAY LIYE
Very aptly titled 'In the name of the lord',
'khuda kay liye' is a defiant attempt at filmmaking - defiant because it defies the very norm of even the offbeat subjects that cinema can boast of.
Decent performances by the lead cast, especially Shaan ..the music - soulful and melodious. The composer seems to have very skilfully blended the conservative notes with the modern technicalities.
However, the script need to have been more taut... and the emphasis on the trauma that the elder son goes through in police custody could have been more subtle..
some things are more touching if left unsaid....
Naseeruddin shah's speech in the court was pretty quickly done with ... too much was said and quoted in just one scene which was actually very crucial to the script.
All in all, a decent attempt, but the darkness could have been lesser, the morbidity of some scenes,though crucial, could have been dealt with some softness and sensitivity.

ASMITA MARWAH
Asmita Marwahs' line, 'Gaia, an awakening' was understated, quiet, dignified and different.
Uniquely ethnic in spirit using traditional workmanship, the clothes had a distinct feel of nature with birds and leaves in colors that were bright, happy and very earthy using cuts and styling it attractively, helping one focus and appreciate both.
A classic example is that of an angarkha vibrant in its hues and print. The front was misleading with its plain bold cut while the back contrasted deeply.
The bright prints of gods and goddesses aso lent a bohemian yet stylishly chic look that spoke volumes of this very talented designer who possesses the most important skill of blending the conservative with the modern.
Asmita is clearly a designer to watch out for

The BUSINESS of fashion
Abhishek Dutta's collection titled 'Save the girl child' showcased on day three at the Lakme india fashion week 2008 was a mockery.
The lovable toddler that walked the ramp could hardly keep pace with the model and tripped once and as if that was not enough, while turning, the model probably forgot she had a little baby to also walk with and so the poor child actually fell right off the ramp at the feet of the first row viewers.
Unbelievable but true that the' business' of fashion is merely to attract crowds and generate hype and moolah.
Never mind the innocent who get trampled along the way.
Boo to Dutta who in any case is a mockery of a designer.

LAKME INDIA FASHION WEEK 2008 MUMBAI
'An eye for an I' was the theme but in this concept of duality, kiran used a combination of two fabrics together in the same outfit.
An interesting mix of textures were used for the range from Chanderi, silk cotton, tussar, jacquard,tweed georgette satin to linen and brocade. Detailing was subtle with pleats, African embroidery, hand painting, printing, crushing for texturing and quilting.
In a variation of color combinations, with much layering and embellished with prints, shibori, seaweed and parsi floral embroidery, Kolkatta manages to reign- always... with its sensitive play of colors, delicate craftmanship and handwork, intricate detailing and the sensible usage of fabrics.
Kiran comees across as different this time around.
LAKME INDIA FASHION WEEK 2008 MUMBAI
Invoking the River Goddess was Sonam Dubbals' theme derived from the three life giving rivers - the Mekong, Brahmaputra and Nile. It was a calming and serene feeling with the sounds of the flowing waterthe floral prints and graphic stripes with the usual quiet dignity in the craftmanship with its tufted centers.
The colour palette with the soothing shades of blue, turquoise, lilac, burgundy, purple, brown, green had a touch of gold to add to the elegance.
The oriental look of the kimonos, kaftans, angarkhas African tunics, Bakhu dresses, honjus and printed mandarin collar jackets had the very delicate intrusion of color in oranges and yellows.
The spiritual feel as always, is Sonams' trademark and one that comes across in every aspect of his presentation.

WILLS INDIA FASHION WEEK 2008
Phadnis surprises us with his unfilmi, understated, quiet creations in hues of dull oranges, blues and staid greens and vibrant browns. A far cry from his usual outlandish and filmi styles. Shiamaks' dancers lends class to the show and phadnis displays a rare sensitivity in showcasing his collection.
Good to know that for once a bollywood designer can disconnect between the ramp and the film set.
Way to go vikram!

JODHA AKBAR
Ashutosh Gowarikar has maintained the consistency of directing films laoded with great casting,soulful music and great performances by the cast, especially hrithik, who stuns you with his flawless diction and persona as does the ever graceful and dignified aishwarya rai...
however, apart from the length and pace of the film which tends to drag at times, its neeta lulla who has marred the otherwise simply yet stylishly created film...
her outfits for jodha are pathetic... they are as ordinarily done as a balaji set-up would have.. the colors were resticted to orange, and yellow mainly ... as a rajput princess, they would have done well to show her in typical rajasthani work, in a myriad of colors,bright fuschias and mauves, reds and blues and creams....sadly, her make-up too made her look pale and washed out.... the costumes in general were a let-down.... if compared to a PAHELI, in which each junior artiste was also very correctly dressed, right down to the right embellishment... which is what makes the film watchable- vivid colors, brightness,transporting one to the era rightaway.
Even the sets, were totally lack lustre.... the mughal architecture and feel were missing... there was no art of that era, no pots or urns or wall murals that are so typically mughal.... poor lighting mars half the visuals and whoever heard of a meeting betwwen kings of several states seated on a simple yellow rug ... the least they could have done was to decorate the tent with lamps and engraved poles and mirrors...however nowhere was there any evidence... it isnt just the language.. which is where sanjay leela bhansali scores depite a weak script. His films create a visual that is easily one that makes you believe in the story...
sometimes its just a certain scenery, a shot with even a bejwelled hand feeding a pigeon that can say a lot about the story....
in case of a historical, no amount of research can make up for the staid sets and costumes....
neeta lulla needs to give up designing , especially for the gorgeous Ash ..she makes her look shabby and unnecessarily made up...
akbars' mother, essayed by mrs.poonam sinha was dismal to say the least. The lady was expressionless.
All in all, a visual disappointment...
mr.gowarikar could have focussed more on the intricacies of the relationship between jodha and akbar... a few more scenes involving their own private moments....
