Actor Jiah Khan commits suicide in Mumbai

Bollywood actress Jiah Khan has allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at her residence here, police said.

The 25-year old actress reportedly hanged herself at her Juhu residence late last night.

According to the police her maid, watchman and neighbours are being interrogated to find out her last visitors.
Jiah made her acting debut in the controversial Ram Gopal Varma's 'Nishabd' where she acted opposite Amitabh Bachchan.

Upon its release in March 2007, the film received mixed reviews, but Jiah was noted for her confidence, attitude, and sex appeal.

She also got a Filmfare Best Debutant Nomination.

She then appeared alongside Aamir Khan in A R Murugadoss's 'Ghajini', the Hindi remake of the director's own Tamil film of the same name.

Later she appeared as a supporting actress in Sajid Khan's multi starrer comedy film 'Housefull' (2010). This was her last film.

Fear of no cellphone: 9 out of 10 suffering from 'nomophobia'

Nine out of every 10 people aged under 30 admit to suffering the new age phenomenon of "nomophobia", the fear of having no mobile phone, a survey says. Telecom giant Cisco, in a survey conducted on 3800 people in Australia, found nine out of 10 in the group aged under 30 were addicted to their smartphones and became anxious when their phone went missing, the 'Courier Mail' reported. "It's happening subconsciously, and one out of five people are texting while they're driving," Cisco chief technology officer Kevin Bloch said yesterday. "It just speaks to these addictive, compulsive, behaviours that we're seeing." "For many under-30s, the smartphone has become an extension of themselves, from the moment they wake up until the second they fall asleep," said Bloch. "This love affair with the smartphone is both enabling and crippling at the same time," Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, official adviser to the Queensland Government on...

Peter Pan generation and you!

It’s called the generation that refuses to grow up—preferring to remain unmarried, childless, living with the parents, with a lifestyle of endless socialising. Are you part of the phenomenon? You’re 35 and living with your parents/in-laws, because: a. There’s someone to have a hot meal ready on the table when you get home from work, and monitor the maid when you leave in the mornings. b. There’s no way you can afford a house loan and still maintain your lifestyle of alternate nights out and yearly international holidays. c. Your parents are dependent on you to manage the expenses of the home and you come home to a comfortable, clean apartment with food in the refrigerator, which you haven’t had to worry about. It’s a mutually beneficial situation. You’re 32, have been married five years, but kids aren’t on the cards. a. Kids mean responsibility and you can’t stand the idea of 3 am feedings and your kids’ exams putt...

Hangout Music Festival 2013: Best Of The Big Festivals ... On The Beach We're heading down to this year's Hangout, and here's why you should too.

Gulf Shores, Alabama seems like an odd place to have a music festival, but then again, there was probably a time when folks scoffed at the idea of doing one in Manchester, Tennessee, too ... and look how that turned out. I'm not about to compare Alabama's Hangout Fest to Tennessee's venerable Bonnaroo just yet ... but it's not exactly a stretch to see the similarities between the two. And I'm not just talking about their Southern locales, either. No, it starts with the notion that the organizers behind both fests are kindred spirits, in the way they book bands — fun fact, Trey Anastasio has performed at 50 percent of the Hangouts! — and the way they run their respective events. Like Bonnaroo, Hangout is fun and loose; it may not have the famously dusty (and fabulously communal) campgrounds, but it makes up for that in metric tons of white sand, beautiful Gulf breezes, and warm sun. Not to mention boardwalk bars, waterslides and more peel-and-eat shrimp that you...
