What's around : July 22 , 2006

Now if you're reading this for the first time, it's my regular post What's around in which I try to share different links with you that seemed interesting to me. So check them out..

Coming soon, coming zune. So what's zune? It’s Microsoft’s new, holistic approach to music and entertainment. In simple words, it's microsoft's iPOD. Microsoft today confirmed the existence of a new portable music player and integrated service called Zune. Launch is scheduled for some time this year. Zune is clearly aimed at Apple’s iTunes/iPod dominance. Here's Cesar Menendez who just started working on project, Zune. And here's the official site Coming zune.

Dennis bergkamp, who doesn't know his name? If you track football you surely know him. For those who doesn't know him here's his carreer record. He's the dutch and the arsenal legend. Both teams are my favorites. Not to mention why he became my most favorite player. Today Dennis Bergkamp bowed out of football on a entertaining, celebratory opening day at Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium. He took off from the dutch national team long ago and today he ends his football career from arsenal. He has scored 120 goals in 423 games. But there's a funny thing about him, he was too afraid to travel by plane. So whenever arsenal went abroad to play champion's league football they had to leave him at england. And if possible bergkamp joined the team after driving a long way. :D Funny eh? Check out his fairwell photos and arsenal new 60000 capacity stadium. Good bye bergkamp :(

Good news for bangladesh cricket and the cricketers. UK-based sports company Reebok recently struck a deal with Bangladesh skipper Habibul Bashar and star batsman Mohammad Ashraful for three years, to be effective from the upcoming Bangladesh's tour of Zimbabwe in later part of July. This type of deal surely will attract attention for lots of young cricketers. But, the bad news follows the good one. It was reported that selector Athar Ali, who is sole distributor of Reebok in Bangladesh, was involved in the process and took a certain percentage as commission from the cricketers for helping them to sign such a deal. It'd be very unfortunate if the news is true about atahar ali khan. He's been my favorite from my childhood and became more favorite when he commentried against ramiz raza in bangladesh's pakistan tour in 2003. BCB working committee meeting scheduled for Sunday will discuss the matter and probably launch an investigation. Read the full news here.


Titanic Two the surface. What is it? It's definitely not a sequal. How can it be? Jack dies and rose became like 89 at titanic. So when I first got the link I was surprised, how can they make a sequal from titanic? Then I thought it's hollywood so everything's possible. Later when I chech the video I found out it's actually a parody trailer. I found out clippings from Titanic, Gangs of newyork, Con air, Shawshank redemption (oh I love this movie so much!) Watch it...



UPDATE, July 14th: Looks like Atahar ali was not alone. Check out this report from daily amar desh.

  5. If you hadn't pointed out that it was a parody then I would've actually believed it! It looks like real movie, but that because they took bits and pieces of Leo's movies and stuck em together with a bunch of their own creative fillers.

  7. Tareq atahar onnyo groher manush na but he's in a stage where he really doesn't need to do that kind of thing.

    Bengali fob, isn't it funny? :D

    Moon, amar o tai mot.

    By the way , I've another thought. There's going to be an investigation and atahar,pilot habibul will surely be interrogated. But my point is who would talk against atahar? I mean current players. Because atahar is the current chief of selectors. And if he's indeed the bad guy then he might become worse if you open your mouth.
    So nothing will going to happen to him if he was really corrupted.

  9. audity, Bergkamp was a fantastic player...:P... but i audity got the point about atahar and his needs... let me qoute a poem here...
    "Rajar hosto kore shomosto kangaler dhon churi,
    e jogote hay shei beshi chay jar achhe bhuri bhuri..." [not my poem...;)]
    i guess u will believe now. im not sayin atahar did it... im sayin u cant define ones needs. coz there is not limit to ones needs.
