»RCB crash out of IPL finals

What was hoped to be a thriller of a semi-final between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challenge Bangalore turned out to be a real disappointment. All credit to the Mumbai Indians who recovered quickly after early wickets. Rayadu, Tiwary and Pollard among others were the three that stood out. Master blaster Tendulkar was dismissed early but that did not demotivate them, but rather egged them onto a 39 run victory against RCB.

»How can we stop worrying?

Do you worry? Do you find yourself overly concerned about people or problems? Does this cause you to have a physical reaction like a knot in the stomach, heavy breathing or shaking?

Do you feel that you worry more than necessary, especially about things that are beyond your control? Do you sometimes become immobilized by the unwarranted fear of what might happen and so it prevents you from reaching your potential in the here and now?

»How can we resolve conflict in long distance love?

Maintaining a  healthy, solid, loving relationship over long distances can be tricky. For starters the lack of physical contact can sadden our hearts and make us question our loved one's commitment.

Secondly, having to rely on text messaging, phone calls, emails, skype, IM and social networking sites to "talk" to each other leaves scope for our imagination to "read" nuances into those communications. How often has the lack of a smiley face or a LOL on an email made you wonder if the tone of an email or text was angry?

»An underwater steal!

An octopus stole a diver's video camera off the coast of New Zealand a few days back. What followed was a hilarious adventure that resulted in some incredibly awesome video.  

Local diver Victor Huang was shooting video with his new underwater camera. Probably he was humming the theme music of Jaws or something, but instead of a Great White, a mischievous octopus appeared out of nowhere and clung to his camera. Huang held on for as long as he could, but the mighty mollusk won the tug of war and swam off with his new toy.

»Is marriage essential for human existance?

Another great Real Life Question came into Chatback via facebook from Mahfuzur Rahman who wants to know, "Why do people get married? Is it essential for human existance?"

On one hand the human race can perpetuate itself through reproduction without formal unions, so life can go on without marriage ... but what kind of society would that create?

God created marriage. It was his idea and he arranged the first marriage so if He thinks it benifits mankind then surely we should question whether the Western trend away from it is harmful.

Fisher made the outfits for Barbie for a teaching aid, reports The Daily Express.

I'm not one for such stories because I don't see the meaning behind this and it sure does seem funny and an idiotic publicity stunt when looked at!

I've had a lot of my friends come to me over the weekend wit a sparkle in the eye like as if they were going to but me a new bass guitar telling me that 'How To Train Your Dragon' was the coolest movie that they have watched in a long time!

Pity none of them gave me a new bass :P but seems like the movie is a major hit in all the major cities of India with tonnes of people flocking to see the film in 3D.
