Destiny Hope Cyrus - What better a

At 16 and a half years, having risen
to heights insurmountable and received accolade unimaginable, Miley Cyrus, born as Destiny Hope

ever expanding humongous fan base

Passion: To challenge myself and do
my best. To accomplish my dreams.
I want to be some sort of doctor or
biologist perhaps. I dream to travel

I respect him as my president, I believe that he did not deserve
this award. There were better nominees that deserved it more.

get it wrong, Homme never overpowered the band, instead encouraged
them to follow their instinct to create music. They are breaking away

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for
the past decade, you know what halo
is and why to gamers, it is more of a
religion than a game.
In 2001 the original Halo released
for the Xbox and gaming has never
been the same again. Halo revolutionised the entire first person shooter
genre due its intuitive game play and
mindblowingly absorbing story. After
Halo 2 released in 2004 and halo 3 in
2007, Bungie released Halo 3: ODST
on 22 September, this year. For obvious reasons, this is one of the most
anticipated games of the year.
Max will be able to perform lifesaving kill shots (similar to the final stand kills in the Call of Duty
games) should he be near death.
If he manages to kill his killer before the screen goes black, he’ll
spring back to life thanks to an
adrenaline boost.
The game is designed with Rockstar’s RAGE Engine with Natural Motion’s Euphoria. Since this
engine incorporates video game
physics, many objects in the
game are destructible, such as
crates. Rockstar used scanning
equipment to help capture the
real-life feel of the Sao Paulo
ghettos.
All in all, Max Payne 3 promises
to be a highly enjoyable game
albeit a controversial one. One

because I genuinely feel that he’s an
understanding person.
The next day was the judgement day.
I waited for him at my music class.
He came. After our class, I told him to
wait, “Please meet me after the class.
I want to talk to you, it’s really important.” I said.
The moment came and he was standing in front of me. My wait was over.
I walked towards him with my heart
thumping madly, and my face all covered with fear, and nervousness. I
started. “Dear ABC, I want you to be
absolutely calm and cool headed Honesty. And you have stood up to

and because of some negative
feelings of mine, which I failed to
control, our friendship’s ruined.
I’ve not been able to sleep for
the past few days because of my
guilt of having such feelings for
you. But trust me, it was not in
my control, I’m sorry ABC.” I was
surprised to find the same calm
expression on his face.
He came towards me, and replied, “I really respect you Aishwarya for the candidness, and
openness you had with me. I’m
really happy you shared this with
me, and you were so frank with
me. I know the kind of atmosphere you are in, [I study in an

for you. It happens with everyone at this age. You don’t have

But, let me share this with you. I
could have never imagined sharing
this with any other boy in the music
class.
I could have probably taken help of a
counsellor in that case. Not all boys
are like ABC. Had it been some other
boy other than ABC, I probably needed to think a lot before sharing this
problem with him. Maybe he’d never
understand, blast off at me, make fun
of me, or try to get physical! It seems
weird, but you never know! I have to
make this choice, thinking of the consequences. Professional help was an
elixir, a Philosopher’s stone for me in
case of any fix. I strictly need expert
guidance in such situations because
maybe in certain issues, I’m too immature, inexperienced, and sensitive
while dealing with the situation.
Maybe things wouldn’t move on further, [as I wanted them to!] but then,
we’re really good friends and I am in
a relationship wherein I’m in my best
comfort level, I share an open, frank,
and a wonderful relationship with a
person, and I’m not regretting anything. I don’t think it’d be cool for me
if I have a so- called boyfriend girlfriend relationship with a person in
which there nothing except complication and problem for me. A boy and
a girl can have a really beautiful and
healthy relationship, which is sometimes even more successful than boyfriend girlfriend relationships.
But I’ve realized the fact that it’s
nothing wrong to be infatuated. This
is the age to be. I should relax, and
sort out my problems in an intelligent manner, taking professional help
whenever needed, rather than being
stupid enough to ruin relationships as
well as my image!

Fashion eh? Ask us! For GALS
neo-grunge. First seen in Alexandra
Wang’s Fall 2008 Runway and since
than it’s been picking up momentum
as street style trends.
Wear it with crisp, corporate skirt-suit
or some hot minis and with leather
jackets.
It is so easy to rip stockings when
not trying to, so it isn’t hard to get
that look, is it? Just get creative with
sharp tools at your disposal.
Laddered Stockings /
Ripped Thighs
One Shouldered Dress & Top
Biker Brigade
Biker Brigade
You just cannot miss this one.
Its a must this fall season. Designers were crazy about biker
Brigade. So what do we have on
our list to show you?
Laddered Stockings /
Ripped Thighs
Yea its kinda rock chick meets
This trend was prevalent in Summers
and is almost gone... but maybe not
so gone. Beach time might be off but
one shoulder style can still make you
look hot.
Scarf
One Shouldered Dress & Top
Now it’s impossible
to forget! Flashy
neon coloured scarf
looks so hot!
Ripped Denim
It was never gone
since 90s and It’s
not going any sooner. So if you have
not already done it,
rip your denims!
Scarf
Fashion eh? Ask us! For GUYS
Shirts
We know that our gals are gaga over Twilight and New Moon is going to make
it worst. No need to compete with the vampires and werewolves, be one of
them! Just wear a shirt like them.
Scarf
Deep V-Neck
Well that might sound odd. Not
all of us guys are ready to show
off chests, now are we? Some
of us have chest hair (and some
don’t). So it’s going to be style
dilemma. But here is a style tip:.
Wear deep neck cardigans and
under it you can wear your fav.
T-Shirt or better, wear a shirt
(that’s latest!)
Dolce and Gabbana
Do not forget this one. Frayed edges one is the best. And its going to be the
best investment for winters too. Your mom is going to be happier than ever to
see your protected from cold and you are going to burn hearts!
Denim
G Star Raw and Diesel are out with some hot new jeans.
Grab them or look for look-a-lies in sales. We loved Diesel
Black Gold
Formals
The season is changing and so are formals. Sharp cuts with
tight fitting and yes most important the design! Flora and
Fauna were Dolce and Gabbana’s favourite.

Windows 7 is the most anticipated operating system Microsoft since Windows 95. After the phenomenal success of XP, Microsoft bombed it with
Vista. Windows 7 is being born in to a world of uncertainty. Apple’s market
share is the highest it’s ever been. Linux is growing. Vista came out as a
bloated, buggy OS which ran quickly only on the quickest hardware, sure, it
was pretty, but when did looks ever win an Os a race?
Photo Gallery, are not included in
Windows 7. Some are instead offered
separately as part of the free Windows Live Essentials suite.
Performance
A lot of the bulk has been removed
from the windows code with windows 7. Not only will Windows 7 will
be fast, it will blow away all previous
Windows OSes, including the sainted
Windows XP. This is due to the face
that most of the apps that traditionally come with windows and bog it
down) are now removed and are optional installs...

of Windows. Certainly Windows 7
is a better fit, but so is completely replacing such hardware.
Laptops: Windows 7 has better
battery life than Vista, resumes
from hibernation sooner, and
given the lower performance of
laptops often benefits from the
better performance of Windows 7
on such hardware. If you need to
squeeze out every minute of battery life or every point of performance, then it’s upgrade time. In
fact laptops users are certainly
going to be the easiest group to
sell upgrades to, since Windows
7 consistently does so well.
Windows 7 doesn’t bring with it
any pitfalls like Vista did, so using Windows 7 on a new computer as opposed to Vista is the
closest thing to a no-brainer that
we’re going to see today. If you
wanted Vista, you’re going to
want Windows 7 instead.
