Most Sensational Waterfalls Around the World

Image
Angel Falls 1 of 6 At a staggering 3,212 feet, Angel Falls in Venezuela is the world's highest waterfall. It's located on the Churun River, 160 miles southeast of Ciudad Bolivar. The falls are named after Jimmy Angel, an American explorer who crashed his plane on the flat plateau known as Auyan-Tepui, or "Devil's Mountain," in 1937. This area of land is where Angel Falls descends from, pooling at the 500-foot-wide base. Since Angel Falls is surrounded by dense jungle, the ideal way to view the waterfall is from the air. Another option is to wait until wet season, when the Churun River is high enough to allow for travel by boat. Iguazu Falls Iguazu Falls 2 of 30 There are 275 waterfalls that make up Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil. The tallest of these — and the most noteworthy — is Devil's Throat, at 262 feet. Pair that with the fact that about 1.5 million liters of water flow through Iguazu Falls ...

Seychelles parliament blocks planned Indian naval base on remote island

Image
    ANSE AUX :  Seychelles  parliament will not ratify a pact allowing India to build naval facilities on one of the  archipelago 's islands, a top foreign affairs ministry official said on Friday. The two countries signed an agreement in January to build military facilities on the remote island of Assumption, but the project quickly attracted criticism from opposition members of the tiny  Indian Ocean  nation's parliament and lead to public protests. Opposition lawmakers had argued that allowing India access to Assumption, which is near a busy shipping route, would be surrendering territory to another country and joint management of the facility with India undermined the 115-island nation's sovereignty. "The government will not present the agreement to the National Assembly (parliament) for approval because opposition members (who are the majority) have already said they will not ratify it," Seychelles Secretary of State for Foreign Affai...

Ranbir Kapoor reacts to Ranveer Singh being first choice for Sanju

Image
Ranbir Kapoor has stepped into the shoes of Sanjay Dutt for Sanju, and how. If many had apprehensions about Ranbir pulling off a Sanjay Dutt on the big screen, it all changed after the trailer of Sanju hit the screens. If Ranbir looks like a spitting image of Bollywood original bad boy, he has also nailed the accent and physique. But it was only recently that producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra revealed that Ranbir was not the first choice for Sanju. He was keen to rope in Ranveer Singh to play Sanjay Dutt in the biopic. "I thought Ranveer had the flamboyance, the emotional depth as well as the ability to change himself completely to play Sanjay Dutt. But Raju was adamant that Ranbir would be perfect," Chopra had said.    But after working with Ranbir, he realised that he had to eat his words. When Ranbir, who is currently busy with the promotions of Sanju, was asked about Chopra's comment, the 35-year-old actor said that he was clueless about it....

A quad-turbo V16 made from two LS V8s with 5007 horsepower? It is estimated to go 0-60 mph in 1.6 seconds

Image
     NEW DELHI:  Indian companies  are dominating the ranks of the world’s best-performing industrial firms as they benefit from neighboring China’s pollution crackdown and billions in domestic infrastructure spending. Of the 15 best-performing stocks over five years, eight are from Asia’s No. 3 economy and range from graphite electrode makers to equipment providers. Companies such as HEG Ltd., Graphite India Ltd. and Finolex Cables Ltd. have benefited from China’s pollution control measures as well as India’s pledge to electrify even the remotest village, said Gopal Agrawal, portfolio manager at Tata Asset Management Ltd., which oversees $3 billion in equity funds.

India added 100,000 circuit kilometers of interstate transmission capacity in the last four years, according to a June 5 statement from power ministry. The nation ha...

Race 3 should have been an Abbas-Mustan film, not Remo D'Souza's

Image
You've seen the Race 3 trailer. You've probably scratched your head, trying to figure out the sense behind the dialogues. And of course, the songs from the film would've left you at a loss for words. Let's be blunt. Going by what we can see, Race 3 looks so bad, that it might just be good. There's no doubt that the film will rake in its 300 crore at the box office, because which Salman Khan film doesn't? Race 3 is the third installment in the Race franchise and has been directed by Remo D'Souza. The previous two films, which had tasted success at the box office, had been helmed by the popular director duo Abbas-Mustan. WHY ABBAS-MUSTAN WAS REPLACED BY REMO For a while, reports were doing the rounds that Salman would come on board for the film, if only Remo D' Souza directed the film. In a recent interview, Salman had a different version. Apparently, Abbas-Mustan had approached Salman, who was also working with Remo, Daisy Shah and J...
