Dhaam Dhoom Review
Director (Late) Jeeva was remembered for his films like ‘12-B’, ‘Ullam Ketkumae’ and ‘Unnale Unnale’. ‘Dhaam Dhoom’, unfortunately, was his last venture as he passed away in Moscow last year, just before the completion of the film.
According to news ‘Dhaam Dhoom’ is a non-stop action thriller featuring ‘Jeyam’ Ravi (for the first time in this kind of a film), Lakshmi Rai and Bollywood beauty Kangna Ranaut in lead roles.
While the entire film has been shot in Russia, songs have been filmed at different locations in India. The shooting has also been held Pollachi, Hyderabad, Coorg, Thenkasi and Nellai besides Russia.
A story line of this movie is, “The film begins with a 5-day trip to Russia undertaken by a house surgeon (‘Jeyam’ Ravi) to take part in a medical conference. A sequence of totally unexpected events lands him in big trouble for no fault of his and makes him run for his life.
Well versed only in Tamil and English, our hero finds himself trapped in Russia, where English language is hardly shown any respect. In this situation, he finally gets help from a practicing lawyer in Russia

Rock On Review - www.realbollywood.com
Rock On Review - www.realbollywood.com
Movie: Rock On; Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Prachi Desai, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli, Luke Kenny and Shahana Goswami; Director: Abhishek Kapoor; Rating: ****
If you consider ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ as one of the finest films made on male bonding laced with witty sense of humour and great music, then ‘Rock On!!’ is a worthy sequel. The only difference being that while in the former Farhan Akhtar made a clever debut as a director and in the latter he makes a brilliant debut as an actor. Rock On!! rocks even in its understated silences of poignance.
The film is about a Rock band ‘Magik’ comprised of Aditya (Farhan, fantastic, the intensity reminds of angry young man of 70s), Joe (Arjun Rampal, underplayed to perfection), Rob (Luke Kenny, a revelation) and KD (Purab Kohli, hilarious)…how the flashback dreams of stardom while the present is a stark reality of investment banking and mercenary guitaring. Aditya’s wife Saakshi (Prachi Desai, first rate debut) brings the band together and then there’s the proverbial ‘twist’. One more peformance that’s noteworthy is that of Shahana Goswami (who’ll be making full fledged debut in ‘Ru Ba Ru’) as the realistic wife of Arjun. This is one actress to watch out for.
Music by Shankar Ehsan loy is electrifying (though it has a niche appeal considering not everyone fancies rock music). I am sure ‘Tum Ho Toh’ will be a unanimous favourite…a soft ballad with wonderful chorus sections. Farhan the singer isn’t bad, for in the context of the film they are an amateur band (moreover, the groovy picturisation makes us for the loopholes too) trying to make it big.
Although Abhishek Kapoor has been credited with story and direction but you can easily witness ‘creative’ imprints of Akhtar junior (thankfully). On the flip side, the absorbing tempo of the first half dips in the beginning of second half but then it picks up pieces just fine to give a goose pimple evoking concert-climax.
Rock On!! is one movie that will make you smile…effortlessly. Go Rock!

HUDA - huda.nic.in - Haryana Urban Development Authority,Panchkula,INDIA
The main objective of any organisation should be public Service & Welfare. HUDA is committed to these high ideals. With a view to being in greater transparency in its functioning, HUDA now goes online. This should help the public, in general and the allottees, in particular, in having complete information regarding HUDA's setup, procedures, policies and guideline etc. However, the information provided on this website is for guidance purpose of general public about the present rules & regulations and procedures of HUDA. It is not a legal document, and as such it cannot be reproduced in any legal matter. As and when the policies or regulations are changed, the same shall be applicable.
BROAD WORKING OF THE ORGANIZATION
The Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), a statutory body of Haryana Govt. was constituted under the Haryana Urban Development Authority Act, 1977. Before the constitution of HUDA, the Deptt. Of Urban Estates, which was established in the year 1962, used to look after the work concerning planned development of urban areas and it functioned under the aegis of the Town & Country Planning Deptt. The functioning of the Urban Estates Deptt. was earlier regulated by the Punjab Urban Estates (Development & Regulations) Act, 1964 and rules made thereunder and the various development activities used to be carried out by different departments of the State Govt. such as P.W.D (B&R), Public Health, Haryana State Electricity Board etc. But it was observed that the involvement of several agencies in the development of Urban Estates at various places had given rise to problems of coordination with the result that growth of most of Urban Estates became slow and caused unnecessary dissatisfaction among the plot-holders in particular and public in general. Besides, as the Deptt. had to follow the financial rules and regulations of Govt., the arrangement of finances and sanction of estimates took a long time and the development works had not kept pace with the required standards of physical development. It was also considered that being Govt. department, it was unable to raise resources from various lending institutions although there were various financial institutions in the country to finance urban development programmes which could be availed of. Thus in order to over come all these difficulties and to achieve the expeditious development of urban estates, it was felt that the Deptt. Of Urban Estates should be converted into such a body which could take up all the developmental activities itself and provide various facilities in the urban estates expeditiously. Accordingly, the Authority has taken over work which was being handled by individual departments.The main functions of Haryana Urban Development Authority are as under :-

LAND ACQUISITION DIVISIONS
The acquisition of land for urban development is undertaken by four Land Acquisition Officers of the Urban Estates Deptt. at the instance of Authority.

The overall cost of acquisition and enhanced compensation if ordered by the court is paid by the HUDA out of its own funds.
(a) Market Rate Compensation to Land Owners
Before 09.02.1995 the award for land acquisition was announced on the basis of rates determined by concerned District Collector who was the Competent Authority under Revenue Law to assess such rates. The assessment was based on the average of registered sale transactions during the last 5 years prior to the Section-4 notification in respect of adjoining lands of similar category. (The claims U/s 9 of the Land Acquisition Act filed by the Land Owners/interested persons were also taken into consideration by the Land Acquisition Collector before announcing the award.)
However, it was felt that the above mentioned collector rates did not reflect the actual market prices and therefore on 09.02.1995 Government costituted a committee comprising of the following officers to decide the market price to be paid to the land owners in case of acquisition by the Government :-
The above instructions of the Government were modified on 20.06.1995 by changing the composition of the committee thus:-
Divisional Commissioner Chairman
Dy. Commissioner concerned Member Secretary
Representative of the concerned Member Department.
District Revenue Officer concerned Member
The above committee is to determine the market price by taking into consideration the average of 1 year sale price and not of 5 years as was the practice earlier.
In short, the Land Acquisition Collector announces the award taking into consideration the rates so fixed by the committee headed by the Divisional Commissioner as well as the claims received U/s 9 of the Land Acquisition Act filed by the land owners and the interested pe rsons. However, the land owner has the option of requesting the Collector to refer the matter to the court U/s 18 of the said Act., if he is not saisfied with the award given by the Land Acquisition Collector.
(b) Stages in acquisition, planning and development of a sector.
The Town & Country Planning Department of the State has prepared/ finalised development plans of various towns/controlled area taking into consideration the further needs of Indl. Residential and commercial sectors so as to ensure proper and planned urban development, exercising the powers inherited by sub-section(4) of section 5 of Punjab Development Act, 1963. Thereis a laid down procedure for acquisition of land for the development of residential, Industrial, Institutional as well as Commercial sectors/area while identyfying the land for a specific purpose aspects local requirements, demand sale potential accessibility viability are taken into consideration, thereafter the identified land is notified. The objections to the proposed acquisition are invited and after hearing the objection received by a standing joint inspection committee the land is finally acquired.
Once the land is acquired, possession is taken over and layout plan/zoning plan of the area is finalised, the plots provided in the layout plan are floated for allotment. Development works are undertaken as per approved demarcation plan, and after completion of development works, possession is handed over to the allotees
( c) Release of land.
Once the land is notified under section 4 of Land Acquisition Act, the land owners and other persons, whose land is acquired may file objections to the acquisition of their land under section 5A of Land Acquisition Act. The standing joint inspection Committee constituted under the chairmanship of zonal Administrator, HUDA, considers the objection so received and submits its recommendations. Normally the land faliing under the following categories is considered for release from acquisition.
Land falling under structure of A & B class existing prior to notification under section-4, providing these structures do not fall in the proposed road, or green belt area.
Land falling under the existing place of worships.
Land under the ownership of Wakf board.
Land against which licences for setting up a colony has been granted by the competent authority.
Land under the ownership of Govt. of India. Such land is acquired by way of transfer.
Any other land which State Govt. may decide not to acquire.
GOVT. LAND SCHEME
Haryana Govt. took a decision in the year 1987 to utilise the surplus Govt. lands for generating resources for State Exchequer. The Council of Ministers in the meeting held on 14.12.87 had approved the general scheme of alienation of surplus Govt. land and properties which had been identified by the concerned Deputy Commissioners in consultation with the departments concerned in various towns of Haryana. These lands were then transferred to the Department of Town & Country Planning, Haryana for further alienation to HUDA for development and disposal. In all 14 schemes have been taken up with an area of 455.95 acres out of these 14 schemes, 9 schemes were commercial in nature, 4 residential and 1 industrial scheme.
Since disposal of plots under Govt. Land Schemes through auction has not worked well. It has been decided by the govt. that balance residential plots under Govt. Land Scheme falling in low potential areas may be floated and the plots may be allotted through draw of lots.
MANDI TOWNSHIP AREAS
Consequent upon the winding up of the Colonization Department with effect from 30th September, 1983 vide Haryana Govt. Town & Country Planning Department’s notification No.18(43) 85-2TCP dated 19.9.83, the Mandi Portion of 31 Mandi Townships established by the Colonisation Department were transferred to the Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board and the remaining portion of the 29 Mandi Townships came to the share of Haryana Urban Development Authority. As a sequal to the HUDA become a successor organisation to the colonisation Deptartment for all intents and purposes for Township areas.
The total land measuring 3516.439 acres (including vacant land measuring 1316.81 acres and 3422 vacant plots) of 29 Mandi Townships established by earstwhile Colonisation Deptt. were taken over by HUDA on 11.9.87.

The above instructions of the Government were modified on 20.06.1995 by changing the composition of the committee thus:-
Divisional Commissioner Chairman
Dy. Commissioner concerned Member Secretary
Representative of the concerned Member Department.
District Revenue Officer concerned Member
The above committee is to determine the market price by taking into consideration the average of 1 year sale price and not of 5 years as was the practice earlier.

Today August 29 is Michael Jackson Birthday
Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29, 1958) is an American musician and entertainer. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, five of his solo studio albums have become some of the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).
In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and Thriller—credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" kept Jackson as a staple on MTV into the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced numerous hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.
Jackson has donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his Dangerous World Tour, charity singles and support of 39 charities.[1] However, other aspects of his personal life—including his changing appearance and eccentric behavior—generated significant controversy which damaged his public image. He was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993, although the matter was settled out of court. Jackson then married twice and fathered three children, all of which caused further controversy. He has experienced health concerns since the early 1990s and conflicting reports regarding the state of his finances since the late 1990s. In 2005, Jackson was tried and later acquitted of further sexual abuse allegations and several other charges.
One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for Thriller as the world's best-selling album—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era—and the sale of over 750 million units worldwide. Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, has made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades. In recent years he has been cited as one of the world's most famous men.
