India has been invited back to the International Olympic Committee (Ioc) after being suspended in December 2012.
The Indian Olympic Association (Ioa) was suspended after electing Abhay Chautala as Ioa president and Lalit Bhanot as secretary-general. Both men had been charged for corruption, and, though they deny the claims, it is against Ioc rules to have people in positions of power with corruption charges. The ban forced their Olympic athletes to arrive in Sochi under the Olympic flag and compete as independents. On Sunday, the Indian Olympic Association elected N Ramachandran, who ran unopposed, as president and was then welcomed back to the Ioc.
“My immediate job is ensure that India returns to Olympic fold and our athletes take part in international events under the national flag,” Ramachandran said at a press conference following his election.

Way back in 1999, in the town of Woodlake, California, a band was formed from the fractured pieces of previous projects. This band became known as Bleeding Through, and it’s still going strong to this day. The band was first formed by vocalist Brandan Schiepatti (who was associated with other hardcore bands, Eighteen Visions and Throwdown), guitarists Javier Van Huss (Eighteen Visions, The Mistake and Enewetak) and Scott Danough, bassist Chad Tafolla and drummer Troy Born (Taken).
With this line-up, the band played a few shows and recorded a rough demo, which started to attract the band more attention. A full-length album, Dust To Ashes, was then released in 2001, but with a different line-up. Guitarist Van Huss had left the band, so bassist Tafolla took his position as guitarist, which resulted in Vijay Kumar (Roundhouse, Cat Burglar) filling the bass position and the recruitment of a keyboard player,...

Bbuddah…Hoga Tera Baap mark a return for Amitabh to his Angry Young Man roots, so expect some cracking dialogue with plenty of dishoom dishoom from the original maverick! This revisionist masala films definitely warrants a look back at the many roles Amitabh Bachchan has unleashed his righteous fury. However, with each of these roles, Bachchan offered a different interpretation of his most iconic persona. You could say Bachchan’s Angry Young Man was a successor to the Disillusioned Young Man of the 50s played by Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, and Guru Dutt. Aided by great screenwriters Salim Khan, Javed Akhtar, and directors who knew how draw the best out him; Amitabh Bachan’s iconic persona is a perfect fusion of all these elements in creating a lasting legacy for Indian cinema. Though the Angry Young Man that Bachchan embodied became an increasing staple in masala films, he echoed many...
