         Jackie Chan showed his 'good samaritan' side when he come forward to aid those affected by a drought in China.

           He delivered 48,000 bottles of fluids when he travelled to Tong Ren in China's Guizhou province. He also visited an elementary school, where he gave students back packs filled with notebooks, lee shirts and rulers. He writes, "Up in the mountains, they were facing a serious water shortage, In the summer, villagers have to walk 10 miles down the mountain just to collect two bottles of water, On the way up to the mountain, I could see the roof of many housed being used as a reservoir for water. However, it was covered with moss."

      The martial arts master not just transported the water bottles but also helped the area by donating one million Yuan to the local government. "After seeing how they drank water, i donated one million RMB to the local government. Also, I donated money (for) the construction of 10 kilometers of water pipes and a water tower. Now, 9,000 people in the village can drink colean water!" he said

Shillpi Sharma's

Bangkok blues

           Someone called Shillpi Sharma keeps appearing at regular intervals. And though she acts in unheard movies, she usually has (or rather her PR has) interesting tales to peddle. The time, there is something on how curfew in Bangkok affected poor Shillpi.

          Apparently, she was in the strife-stricken city, shooting for Chandrakant Singh's Be Careful. Not only did the shoots get cancelled but the crew has been facing difficulties.

          Shillpi said, "It is complete chaos here and we are not allowed to step out of our hotel. All we do the whole day is roam around the hotel without a clue about the actual situation outside. We were supposed to finish our shoot in seven days but we are stuck here. More than anything else we all just want to come back to India safely." Let's all hope that the riots cease soon and the people stuck there are able to return home.
