Will it impact positively or negatively to the show, we will see. Critics might get something to create an issue, but the reality behind it is true.

Men like to push to make kisses sloppier, while women want to keep them long, suggest a new study.
Also, a kiss shared between a man and a woman seems more like a clash of spirits than a meeting of souls.
Kiss: Men like it wet, while women like it long |
And that end is sex.
"Males are kissing primarily to increase arousal for their partner," she said.
Hughes and her colleagues researchers probed the kissing preferences and opinions of more than 1,000 males and females in their sexual prime - college undergraduates - who were asked to mark their answers to a series of detailed kissing questions on a 5-point scale.
The results showed that both men and women consider kissing an important and highly intimate interaction. Both sexes use kissing to gauge the relationship compatibility of themselves and their partners.
Furthermore, both may become more or less attracted to their partners based solely on their experience kissing them, a result that lends support to the theory that pheromones and other important biochemical signals get exchanged when people kiss.
But the similarities end there. While women usually consider a bad kiss to be a deal-breaker, men reported that they would more than likely still have sex with a woman even if she were a bad kisser.
In fact, the data showed that males feel much more strongly that kissing should lead to sex than females do.
"Whereas females felt there was a greater likelihood that kissing should lead to sex with a long-term partner than a short-term partner, males felt that in either instance, kissing should lead to sex," wrote the researchers.
Men also like significantly wetter kisses. The gender divide becomes drastic when the kissing involves short-term partners, who presumably hold primarily sexual rather than romantic appeal. In the short-term, men like kisses to be wet, while women do not.
Psychologists hypothesize that males "perceive a greater wetness or salivary exchange during kissing as an index of the female's sexual arousal/receptivity, similar to the act of sexual intercourse," wrote Hughes.
Follow-up research conducted by Helen Fisher, an anthropologist at Rutgers University, in 2009 even found that men pass testosterone to women via their saliva, which may momentarily increase the women's sex drive.
The findings were published in the journal Evolutionary Psychology.
Dr Aniruddh Malpani, an infertility expert in Mumbai, often invokes playwright George Bernard Shaw's conversation with French actress Sarah Bernhardt when inundated with elitist requests from couples seeking sperm donors. "Just think Monsieur... a child with my looks and your brains!" Bernhardt is said to have told Shaw. To which he had famously quipped, "But Madam, what if he is born with my looks and your brains?"
In India, it's well known that couples shopping for sperm demand both looks and brains. What isn't so well known, despite being fairly commonplace, is a more outrageous request: caste-based sperm. Three years ago, Dr Saurav Kumar, a Patna gynaecologist, created a furore when he told a newspaper that childless couples insisted on knowing the caste of sperm donors. But while one may be tempted to assume that caste biases are entrenched only in states like Bihar, the city's infertility experts insist otherwise.
Dilip Patil, founding president of Trivector, an infertility solutions firm, says there is a definite preference for Brahim donors in Mumbai. "Even among Muslims, couples want to know whether the donor is Sunni or Shiite," he says. "However, going by Indian Council of Medical Researchguidelines, we reveal only the religion of the donor, not the caste."
Patil, who dismisses requests about caste as "byproducts of the Indian mindset", happily obliged varying queries about educational and professional backgrounds, extra-curricular preferences and linguistic skills until a woman perched on stilettos tick-tocked into his clinic with a bizarre request a few months ago. "A Page 3 personality walked in with a strange chart in her hand. There was a list of Bollwyood actors such as John Abraham and Emraan Hashmi and each of them was graded as A+, A, B+ and so on. She asked my staff if there were donors in these graded categories and insisted that she was ready to pay anything. We told her that we could not accept such demands; this was not a clinic for designer babies," says Patil, who was on the medical research team for the recent film on sperm donation called Vicky Donor.
Perhaps the designer baby syndrome is inspired in elite sperm shoppers by what happens abroad, where, says Dr Malpani, couples have the option of going through a whole "shopping catalogue" with details of various sperm donors. In India, however, the donor remains anonymous. All that couples are told is that it is "a young, healthy and fertile physical match". Yet, they persist. "They want to match the primary characteristics such as height, skin and colour with their husband. Mostly, they want someone who is taller and a shade fairer than their husband," says Malpani, who points out that this may be a "very consumeristic" approach.
While most couples are concerned about medical history of the donor (Patil's clinic produces the medical history of three generations of the donor's family), skin colour is another priority. "Certain communities prefer a fair-skinned donor," says Dr Pai, adding that couples want them to find the closest skin, hair and eye colour match. During his fellowship in a semen bank in Australia around ten years ago, he had observed that they would bear the race of the donor in mind as the physical characteristics could differ depending on this. Similarly, in India, where the physical features of people from the North-East may differ from other regions, "we have to isolate donors based on these considerations", he says.
While in a majority of cases, it is the gynaecologists who contact sperm banks and request for semen samples based on the client's height, skin and hair colour preferences, some high-flying couples, especially NRIs, visit the sperm bank personally in their desperation. Infertility specialist Dr Arun Patil, partner at Medilabs, a leading sperm bank, says that around ten per cent of his clients, who come from a higher socio-economic strata, are curious about the donor's background. Among these are people who ask for "the name of the college the donor went to" and tend to favour prestigious institutions such as IIT and IIM. Then there are also those who leave their photograph at the sperm bank so that the doctor can find the closest match.
In 2008, when Dilip Patil tried to popularise the concept of sperm donation in India through an awareness booth at IIT's annual Mood Indigo festival, it was, he says, "an anti-climax". "The students were so shy that they changed their lanes while passing by the stall," he says. Patil, whose real-life anecdotes about convincing people to donate sperm made it to Vicky Donor, says that he used references about sperm donation in ancient mythology, props and money (Rs 500 per sample) to convert donors.
The success of the film, says Patil, has vindicated Mumbai's community of sperm donors. One indication is in the increasing number of walk-in donations. "We had a 43-year-old father who was keen to donate his sperm. We told him he was too old to be a donor," says Patil, "so he sent his son the next day."

S&P CNX Nifty (4,928.90):
In line with expectations, the Nifty index slipped to the first support level in the 4,850-4,900 band. The short-term trend remains bearish and the index has to move past the resistance level at 5,130 to indicate a reversal of the downtrend. (See chart)
From a broader perspective, the Nifty has to move past the significant resistance at 5,300 to rule out a downside risk. Traders may use any rally to initiate short positions with a stop-loss at 5,300 for a target of 4,800.
Those still keen to enhance exposure to the equity market may do so via the mutual fund route. A systematic-investment-plan would be a good choice as this would lower the average cost in a falling market.

CNX Bank Index (9,398.10): This index has been cascading lower in recent weeks and there are no signs of a reversal of the downtrend yet. The short-term outlook is bearish and a test of the immediate support at 8,900 appears likely.
Investors may avoid big-ticket bets in the banking sector until the index clears the resistance at the 10,000-level.

USD/INR (Rs 53.55):
The depreciation in the value of the rupee in relation to the US dollar has affected equity market sentiment. A look at the technical picture suggests that this currency pair is at a crucial resistance level, as highlighted in the chart.
The middle red up-sloping line plays the role of a trend barrier. It is interesting to note that the price is consolidating in a tight trading range just underneath the red line. This is a sign that price is pausing before a next major move.
Once the US dollar moves above that line, the upward move would gain momentum (i.e., rupee depreciation would accelerate) and could rally to Rs 56.50-56.75. Unless the dollar falls below the Rs 51-mark, the path of least resistance would be on the way up for the dollar.

IDFC (Rs 120.90):
The stock has seen a sharp downward correction off the high of Rs 160.80 recorded on 17 February. This correction has been arrested at a crucial support a few days ago. The price in the past couple of sessions indicates that a short-term uptrend may be in the offing.
Long positions may be considered on weakness, with a stop-loss at Rs 107, for a target of Rs 135. The stock could seek the major resistance at Rs 143 once it closes above Rs 135.

Apple will drop Google Maps in its upcoming mobile platform iOS 6 in favour of its own mapping system, it was reported Friday.
The application design is said to be fairly similar to the current Google Maps programme on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, but it is described as a much cleaner, faster and more reliable experience, said technology news website 9to5mac, citing its sources.
Over the last few years, Apple has been acquiring mapping companies like Placebase, C3 Technologies and Poly9. The acquisitions enable Apple to create a complete mapping database of its own instead of relying on Google's solutions, reported Xinhua.
The most important aspect of the new Apple Maps application, according to the report, is a powerful 3D mode, which is technology straight from C3 Technologies, a Swedish company Apple bought last year.
Apple has been gradually pushing Google Maps away. Last week, Apple acknowledged that its iOS iPhoto app, a photo-sorting tool for the iPad and iPhone, had switched from Google Maps data to OpenStreetMap data since March. The app uses mapping data to display the shoot location of geotagged photos.
Apple is scheduled to hold its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco from June 11 to 15. The key announcement at this year's conference is expected to be iOS 6, the sixth generation of its mobile operating system.
Rumours about the television set from Apple have been floating for quite a long time, but now there seems to be some confirmation.
Foxconn, which manufactures the iPhone and iPad for Apple, reportedly, is making preparations for Apple's iTV. Terry Gou, Chairman, Foxconn, said, in an interview published by China Daily, that Foxconn is making preparations for iTV, the long-rumoured Apple's high-definition television. In addition, the report also sates that development or manufacturing has not yet begun.
If the report is to be believed, the Apple iTV features an aluminum construction, Siri, and FaceTime video calling.
If production has not begun, as mentioned by China Daily, it can be expected that the product won't hit the market this year.
But, on the other hand, we can not ignore that China Daily did not publish any direct quote, and it makes us speculate that there might be some misinterpretation. Gou might have meant that his company is making preparations to be ready if the Cupertino-based giant Apple wants to build a television set.
One thing is sure that Apple will neither want nor appreciate that details about such a major new product are divulged like this. Given the fact that Foxconn and Apple share good business relations, it is hard to believe that Terry Gou will purposefully leak such major details.
According to TechCrunch, "An Apple HDTV will likely use a very similar branding and design plan as the iMac with near-edgeless glass and aluminum frame. It would also hopefully have a similar I/O port design, allowing consumers the luxury of having all the ports located in one location."
The report published by China Daily also indicates that Foxconn is joining hands with Sharp to produce Apple's HDTV.
We are not commenting on the authenticity of the report, but we would like to hear something from Apple now.

According to one website, you can calculate how much you owe to your mother and pay her accordingly. It sounds weird but American Coalition for Labor Reparations, created a website page, where you can put some basic figures and submit the form to see how much you owe your mother. It is a cool idea to pay one's mother on a Mother's Day.
The ACFLR is a public initiative whose goal is simple:compensate mothers for their labor.
Every laborer deserves a wage. Your mother went into labor for you and has never been repaid. Use the form below to calculate the labor reparations you owe.

Three Britons in their 20s have undertaken a record-breaking trip around the world in a cab, travelling over 43,000 miles (over 69,000 km) and putting 80,000 pounds (about $128,600) on the meter.
The three friends - Paul Archer, 25, Leigh Purnell, 24, and Johno Ellison, 28 - drove across four continents and 50 different countries in their trusty diesel motor, affectionately called Hannah, the Daily Express reported.
They had set out from London in February 2011 and returned home on Thursday after completing their record-breaking trip. But the trio, from Birmingham's Aston University, had some bizarre experiences during their expedition.
They had to dig the taxi out of a snowdrift in the Arctic Circle, were arrested in Moscow for drinking in front of the Kremlin and received a personal pardon from the president of Moldova after failing to produce the correct documents.
The three even endured detention by the Iranian Secret Police. Paul, one of the trio, was even deported as a suspected spy.
They have already set a new Guinness World Record for the highest taxi journey after reaching 5,300 metres above sea level with Hannah at Mount Everest's base camp.
After crossing the finish line in Covent Garden, Guinness World Records is expected to confirm whether they have broken the record for the longest journey by taxi or not.
The current record - 21,691 miles at a cost of 40,210 pounds - is held by Britons Eremy Levine and Mark Aylett and Spaniard Carlos Arrese who travelled from London to Cape Town in 1994.
They slept in cheap hotels and hostels, planned to raise 20,000 pounds for the British Red Cross with a journey from London to Sydney but were 5,000 pounds short of their goal by the time they reached their destination.

Since last few months, if we follow the technology news headlines, one will find that there was a daily or weekly announcements about new technology, smart phones, tablets, electronic gadgets, computers, softwares, social networks. The Question is Do people can have enough time to catch up and get used to the technology that has just announced? May be not..
If we see the Apple's igadgets ( iPhone, iPad, Macbook, iPad, iOS ), users need to learn a new kind of technology to maximize its utilization. Then it has started different versions of all gadgets. Users don't get enough time to just learn the basic version and they were hammered with new versions. There are thousands of webs, that are providing information about them. These courses are so tough and without credits that can count towards your graduate studies, but one has to learn it to use it. It means human learning power increased in multiple times and continued the trend till the end of human life.
Examples of social media like Renren, Facebook, Google Plus, Linkedin, pinterest and others, There are so many announcements about them and users have to follow them to use them. It may be holding a public interest to some extent for now, as they are not tired of following new changes, but the question is will it last forever? Will users continue to be enthusiastic forever? or may be it is the hype that is creating a tech bubble. We don't know the answer as of yet. When people will find other important things to take care of in life or may be tired of following everything, they might stick to one technology and will started hating the change. It will lead to a tech bubble bursting. Social media are just a medium of sharing life, it won't help to fulfill the responsibility of one's own life and family life. For example if you haven't any job and you are in economic crisis, you can't just follow social networks. You need to put aside the things and seriously looking for any activity.
Also Read Facebook IPO should get Sell rating for long term
Announcements of Blackberry phones,Windows Phones, iPhones, Androids, Baidu Phones, Facebook Smart Phones catching eyes of users for now, but it is like each and every different university course, that one should learn in his life. Do human lives can sustain their interest on a daily or let's say weekly basis? Technology is making life easier but on the contrary side making life complicated by providing updates and innovation without giving enough time to adopt it. As a psychological level, I think it won't sustain and might get stagnant as people realize the way it is complicating your life.
Same case with tablets from iPad to Samsung's touch pads and now in a cheaper range of Ubislate and other companies. There is a daily announcement about a tablet or an app for tablet. People don't understand that why they have to keep following, as whatever they will learn today might be updated or changed tomorrow.
All of above arguments might not portray any picture of future of technology, but certainly raise a valid arguments to be answered by users in a coming years.
