Winning Ways Today For Tomorrow

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's 2011 World Cup winning bat was auctioned of on Monday for Rs. 72 lakh at London's Hilton Hotel.

Man of the Match in the finals Dhoni scored 91 runs and hit the winning six to bring millions of smiles and cheers across India on April 2 this year.

The objective of auctioning the bat was to raise funds for the Sakshi Foundation that functions for the benefit of underprivileged children in India. It is run by Dhoni's wife Sakshi

The lucky winner of the celebrated bat was Indian investment group R K Global.

India overcame Sri Lanka by six wickets in the final in Mumbai, chasing down a target of 275 for the loss of four wickets with ten balls remaining.

The total collection from the auction on late Monday evening was 450,000 pounds, where Sacha Jafri's Original Artwork also went under the hammer.

Jafri, one of the most celebrated artists of the world, was commissioned to create the official painting to commemorate Dhoni's historic World Cup winning team as well as the greatest batsman of all time - Sachin Tendulkar.

The painting, which includes hand prints and signatures from some of the games' greatest players, including the likes of Ricky Ponting, Andrew Flintoff, Allan Border and Lasith Malinga, went for 250,000 pounds.

A bound copy of the original script of Bollywood blockbuster '3 Idiots' went for 17,500 pounds.

With this, Dhoni launched his charitable foundation, 'Winning Ways Today for Tomorrow', at the function.

The charity had already been launched in India in March last year and has helped cricket flourish in areas where children hail from poor socio-economic backgrounds.

The event was attended by the Team India, senior officials and owners of IPL franchisees, many former captains and cricketers like Brian Lara.

Immortals - A Film Directed By Tarsem Singh

Immortals - The Gods Need A Hero is an upcoming 2011 fantasy-action drama film directed by Tarsem Singh and starring Henry Cavill, Freida Pinto, and Mickey Rourke. The film was previously named Dawn of War and War of the Gods before being officially named Immortals and is loosely based on the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur and the Titanomachy.

It is set to be released in 3-D on 11/11/11 by Universal Pictures and Relativity Media.

Years after the Titanomachy, the Titan Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) declares war on humanity. He searches for the Epirus Bow, a legendary weapon created by the war god Ares, which will allow him to free the rest of the Titans from Tartarus and take revenge on the Olympians who brought about their downfall. In accordance with ancient laws, the gods are unable to take a side in the war between Hyperion and humanity. It is left to a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill), chosen by Zeus (Luke Evans) and accompanied by the priestess Phaedra (Freida Pinto) and a slave (Stephen Dorff), to protect his homeland and save the gods.

Julian Paul Assange


Julian Paul Assange (born 3 July 1971) is an Australian publisher, journalist software developer and Internet activist. He is the editor in chief of WikiLeaks, a whistleblower website and conduit for worldwide news leaks, with the stated purpose of creating open governments. Assange worked as a computer programmer and was a hacker during his youth. He has lived in several countries and has made public appearances in many parts of the world to speak about freedom of the press, censorship and investigative journalism.

Assange serves on the Wikileaks advisory board. He has published material about extrajudicial killings in Kenya, toxic waste dumping in Côte d'Ivoire, Church of Scientology manuals, Guantanamo Bay procedures, and banks such as Kaupthing and Julius Baer. In 2010, he published Iraq War documents and Afghan War documents about American involvement in the wars, some of which was classified material. On 28 November 2010, WikiLeaks and its five international print media partners (Der Spiegel, The New York Times, Le Monde, The Guardian and El País) began publishing US diplomatic cables.

Assange has received a number of awards and nominations, including the 2009 Amnesty International Media Award for publishing material about extrajudicial killings in Kenya and Readers' Choice for Time magazine's 2010 Person of the Year.
Assange has appealed a February 2011 decision by English courts to extradite him to Sweden for questioning in relation to a sexual assault investigation. He has said the allegations of wrongdoing are "without basis".

"WikiLeaks released 400,000 classified documents, the most extraordinary history of a war to ever have been released in our civilization. Those documents cover 109,000 deaths."
