Happy Birthday to Deepika Padukone.

Deepika Padukone, the dusky beauty from Bangalore, turns 25 today.The gorgeous Capricornian is on a backpacking trip through Europe along with her boyfriend Siddharth Mallya. The duo left for London to ring in 2011.

2010 was an eventful year for Deepika with as many as five releases: Karthik Calling Karthik, Housefull, Lafangey Parindey, Break Ke Baad and Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey. Sadly, only one of the five did good business at theatres, but Deepika says she had something to learn from every film.

But more admirable than anything is how she came to terms with her break-up from Ranbir Kapoor. Rather than being depressed, she immersed herself in work and made new friends, including Siddharth Mallya. Their budding friendship was to be seen during the IPL, when she cheered for Mallya’s team Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Later in the year, Deepika also sparked a controversy by saying on Koffee With Karan that her ex beau Ranbir should endorse a condom brand.

This year, she is looking at a few interesting roles, including one in Prakash Jha’s Aarakshan.

But it's not that easy for anyone to forget his past behaviour with Aishwarya. Also he isn't exactly a chum of Drona's heroine Priyanka Chopra either, " says a source close to the Bachchans.In fact everyone from the gregarious Karan Johar to the ultra-reclusive Sanjay Leela Bhansali to the hardly-ever-seen Sushmita Sen showed up for this, the most crucial release.And why not? The Bachchans personally invited all their guests. Aishwarya...

Another Try for a Windows Phone, but It’s Still Clunky

If you’ve never heard of a Windows Mobile phone, or never particularly cared what kind of software runs on your phone, prepare yourself. In the coming months, Microsoft will release a steady drumbeat of ads intended to make you want a device powered by its software. Related Should you care? Probably. Should you make a Windows phone your priority? Not necessarily. If you already have a phone that runs Windows Mobile and want to upgrade, the new 6.5 version will improve your life slightly. Otherwise, other mobile phones are probably a better bet. Windows phones have been around for years, mostly competing with BlackBerrys for the allegiance of business users. But while BlackBerry crossed over into the consumer realm with more user-friendly phones, Windows Mobile remained in its corporate cube, because of devices that could be so frustrating to use that few people would choose one without a corporate mandate. For much of the last year, Microsoft has been saying that its ...
