Daniel Pearl remembered

AP pic via BBC Online

Previously on Virtual Poona we learnt of Brangelina fever
in Pune surrounding the filming of a tribute to Daniel Pearl.
But it's not all gossip here. Today Yahoo reports :
'On Oct. 10, 2006, slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl
would have turned 43. News of his assassination in Pakistan at
the hands of Muslim extremists in early 2002 reverberated around
the world. Pearl's parents, Ruth and Judea Pearl, spoke to
Yahoo! News recently about the HBO documentary
"The Journalist and the Jihadi: The Murder of Daniel Pearl"
and an annual global musical tribute, which coincide with their
son's birthday. They also provided photos of Pearl, some of which
have never been seen publicly.'

Meanwhile, E!Online now reports on the photog who got roughed
up by Brangelina bodyguards:

Madooo's Toronto Gig

Hi again!

I had a blast at the Toronto Beatles Celebration,
last month. I took a bunch of exclusive pix there which have
been posted on their official site.....put together as a slide show
by the producers at Toronto.

I was very well received by the producers and now find out that
I may even get on the main stage as a performer next year.
I happily find myself in some of the pix too. The ones I specially
like of me are sitting on the actual car that was used in
Paul McCartney's "BroadStreet Movie"
From my perspective I recall : Paul Saltzman who has this
tremendous book with photographs of the Beatles In India,
who has now become a friend. So has Bruce Spizer, historian
and writer of multiple Beatle books (He is the ultimate authority
on Beatle-facts!) Then there was Pete Best, the original drummer
of the Beatles and Terry from the Hollies.
May Pang was getting great response for her interview and books.
And Pete Bennett, producer for "Concert for Bangladesh"....
with writer and producer Doug Thompson interviewing them all
And Chris...The MellotronMan, who gave us all an in-depth
explanation on how the Mellotron was used in songs like
"Strawberry Fields Forever" Canada's very own: Hal Bruce and
Host: Greg, also an author, doing a great job. And even
the Mayor of Toronto was there, whom I had a privilege of
meeting and he graciously accepted my "Beatle Tribute from
India" CD Fab Four" the great Tribute Band, which above all
were so close to resemblance besides the music of
The BEATLES And in the end you'll see pix of the producer
David Goyotte, with his beautiful wife Victoria with champagne.

Brangelina in Pune Rickshaw !!

Now a follow up to a previous Brangelina post :
Yes, it's true, they are in my old hometown of Pune, India !
Angelina is to play the part of Marianne, wife of
journalist Daniel Pearl, who was abducted and killed by
militants in Karachi in 2002.....


They toured Pune by Autorickshaw, during a spell of torrential
rain while media and the masses alike being true to form
braved the weather and the heavy security* to get
a glimpse of the world's most famous celeb couple.
Stay tuned, I believe this to be the event that puts Pune in all
the Gossip magazines.......

Pune rocks, say Jolie, Pitt
- It’s what two lucky fans were told when they asked
the celebrity couple how their stay in Pune was
by Sachin Haralkar, the Mumbai Mirror

The most coveted destination continued to be the Le Meridien
in Pune on the fourth day of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s stay
in the city. There were no signs of the hysteria ebbing, and
Sunday saw the maximum number of people surrounding the
place to catch a glimpse of the celebrity couple.

Continuing to roam the streets in a rickshaw, the couple had a
different agenda on Sunday. They changed their rickshaw on
reaching the Inox theatre to give people the slip. But not before
acknowledging the crowds by waving and shaking hands with them.

For call centre employees Sandeep Mahadik and Bhupendra Tenisari,
who trailed the couple on their bikes, it was a ride they will always
treasure. “I shook hands with Brad and greeted both of them.
Both were very friendly and gave us the victory sign. We asked them
how they were finding their stay in Pune, to which they replied,
‘Rocking’.”

for them and MySelf. I'm here for the wonderful ads they
keep dumping all over my MySpace pages. **
