RIP Perry Moore

Perry Moore, an executive producer of the Chronicles of Narnia dies at age 39. He was found unconscious in his Greenwich Village Apartment. It has also been reported that he might have committed suicide. But his death has been the result of overdose, so we can’t say with certainty that he committed suicide. They are waiting for the medical examiner report on the cause of the death, however.

Mr. Moore produced 3 Narnia movies based on the novels by C.S. Lewis. He also wrote a novel ‘Hero’ & it was a story about a gay superhero. He was himself gay & wanted to portray gay heroes in better light. According to him, more than 60 gay & lesbian comic book characters have been ignored, maimed or murdered.

His book also won a Lambda literary award as the best novel for gay & lesbian adults in 2008.

May his soul rest in peace!

Quick-thinking cat saves house from fire... by opening the window

A clever cat has been hailed a hero after he prevented his owners' home from burning down - by opening a window.

Five-year-old Pepper has learned to open windows and lets himself out every night by hopping on to a kitchen worktop and using his paws to turn the latch.

So when a fire broke while his owners were Christmas shopping, the quick-thinking puss leapt into action and opened the window to allow the acrid smoke to escape.

'Pepper is still a bit spooked by the ordeal but is still managing to eat plenty of food.'

Sharon said: 'We put something in the microwave for ten minutes and then popped out to do our Christmas shopping in the local town.

'I discovered on the way that I had left my purse at home but decided not to turn around.

'It was my sister-in-law who lives next door that rang us about two hours into our trip and said you had better get home as there is quite a lot of smoke coming out of your house and the fire brigade are here.

'We are thankful our neighbours did not just dismiss the smoke as a bonfire.'

Stefan Belsten, of Devon and Somerset fire service, said: 'If Pepper hadn't opened the window the fire would have developed quite a lot.'

Music of the Day - Hero (A musical love story of a Criminal)

Since I couldn't sleep much last night, in those boring, anxiety filled hours I got an idea to start sharing some of the interesting music on our blog while listening to radio.

The first few songs that I am putting here are from an Indian movie called "Hero", starring Jackie Sheroff, Meenakshi, Amrish Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, Sanjeev Kumar etc.

Sanjeev Kumr looked so weirdly funny. He acted differently. It was a different from his other sober roles.

Enjoy the songs. They are a bit long in comparison to most songs we hear today, but I loved watching them again.

Tu Mera Janu Hai

Meenakshi looks very shareef. This is the stuff we grew up watching. The girl is in love with the guy but he is restraining himself because he is a criminal or is in denial thinking of their differences but actually they both love each other :)

Ding Dong
Look at the criminals, they look so simple and seedhay and loving...the girl is so comfortable with them :) Sanjeev Kumar the real cop sees them and still doesn't recognize them lol And Subhas Ghai also makes his special appearance here. It is said he loves to give such appearance in his movies.

Pyar Karney Wale
Lastly, the powerful love song in which the love birds stand up in front of the world for their love. Wah wah what a line, pyar karne wale kabhi dartay nahi, jo dartay hain woh pyar kartay nahi.
