Dhundiraj Govind Phalke's black-and-white silent film Raja Harischandra was screened in Mumbai on 3 May, 1913. It is a tale of a righteous Indian king who never told a lie. Many say this was the filmic seed that spawned a billion-dollar industry. One of the most famous scenes is the bathtub sequence where the king comes to call on his wife Taramati. She is in the tub with attendants and they are all drenched, their saris and blouses clinging to their bodies - but they are all in fact male actors dressed as women. Phalke went on to make 95 full-length films, but he died in penury. As Nasreen Rehman, a historian of South Asian cinema, points out, the Hindi language film industry of Mumbai was not known as Bollywood for many years. "The term Bollywood is an invention of the late 20th Century, after Bombay cinema caught the imagination of the West."

Nestled in the Lighthouse Reef Atoll of Belize is the Great Blue Hole, a large submarine vertical cave that measures 984 feet in diameter and 407 feet deep. With its beautiful, clear water and the variety of wild marine life residing in its depths, the enormous blue hole is a popular scuba diving destination. Today's blue holes, which are found all across the world, were formed from erosion during previous ice ages when the Earth's sea level was significantly lower than it is now. Although the Great Blue Hole is most definitely great, it is not the deepest. That title is held by Dean's Blue Hole, located in the Bahamas, with a depth of 663 feet. For a demonstration on the magnitude of its size, check out Guillaume Nery, world champion freediver, as he does a freefall dive inside the hole in this video clip shot by fellow freediving champion, Julie Gautier.

Twenty Facts About the Taj Mahal Taj MahalTaj Mahal India’s most emblematic monument, the Taj Mahal, is probably one of the best known structures in the world. Built in white marble by Emperor Shah Jahan, in memory of his wife Mumtaz after her death, the Taj Mahal is famous world over as the monument of love. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Taj Mahal is shrouded in myth and there have been many legends which have cropped up over the years. Here are ten interesting facts about this world famous monument: The construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632 and was completed in 1653. It took a total of twenty two years to complete the construction of this monument. The architecture of the Taj Mahal is a combination of Indian, Persian and Islamic styles of architecture. The name of the architect of the Taj Mahal is Ahmed Lahauri. The Taj Mahal was Shah Jahan’s imagination of Mumtaz’s home in paradise. Around 20,000 people worked day and night for twenty two years to complete construction of the Taj Mahal. The cost of construction of the Taj Mahal was around Rs.320 million. The Taj Mahal was constructed using the best quality marble from Rajasthan, Tibet, Afghanistan and China. At different times of the day the Taj Mahal appears to be in a different colour. Some believe that these changing colours depict the changing moods of a woman. The Taj Mahal is one of the wonders of the world and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There was a popular myth that Shah Jahan was planning to construct a black Taj Mahal across the Yamuna, this is not true. Another popular myth around the Taj Mahal is that after the construction of the Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan cut off the hands of all the workers so that such a structure could not be built again. Fortunately, this is not true. The Taj Mahal has a mosque in its premises, which is why the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays and only those going for customary prayers are permitted inside the Taj Mahal. Shah Jahan approached the Taj Mahal on a boat which would sail down the River Yamuna which ran behind the Taj Mahal. By the late 19th century, the Taj Mahal had been defaced by the British soldiers who chiseled out precious stones from the walls of the monument. At the end of the 19th century, British Viceroy, Lord Curzon, ordered a restoration of the monument and also gifted a large lamp which hangs in the interior chambers of the Taj Mahal. In 2000, an Indian writer P.N. Oak claimed that the Taj Mahal was actually a ShivTemple and filed a petition with the Supreme Court of India to excavate the site of the Taj to look for proof. His petition was rejected by the Supreme Court. In 2001, the UNESCO documented more than two million visitors to the Taj Mahal. India’s’ Nobel Laureate, Rabindra Nath Tagore, referred to the Taj Mahal as a “tear drop on the cheek of time”. Calligraphy on the tomb of Mumtaz identifies and praises her. The four minarets of the Taj Mahal have been constructed slightly outside of the plinth so that in case the minarets fell, they would fall away and not on the main structure. After his death, Shah Jahan was laid to rest in the Taj Mahal besides the tomb of his wife Mumtaz.

Taliban fighters have killed at least 10 policemen in an attack on a city in eastern Afghanistan. Gun battles started early on Thursday morning in Jalalabad after a "multi-pronged" attack by insurgents. Police said they shot dead seven attackers, all of them wearing suicide bomb vests. The attack comes after the Taliban vowed to disrupt the run-up to presidential elections in the country on 5 April. "Ten policemen, including the district police chief, were killed and 14 police were wounded," deputy interior minister Mohammad Ayoub Salangi told AFP. "One civilian was also killed, and all seven attackers." The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in a text message sent to media. Smoke billows from a building after an attack on a police station in Jalalabad Smoke was seen billowing from the police station after the attack The insurgents are believed to have stormed Jalalabad's key police station, close to government offices and the headquarters of the governor, shortly after a car bomb was detonated. The gun battles continued for several hours after the bomb blast and Nato sent helicopter gunships to support Afghan security forces. Interior ministry spokesman, Sediq Sediqqi, said one or two attackers had holed up in a small room inside the police station before they were finally killed by security forces. A map showing the city of Jalalabad in the east of Afghanistan Witnesses in the city told the BBC that the state-run Radio Television Afghanistan was one of many buildings that were still on fire following the attack. Mohammad Habib, an eyewitness, said the explosion shook the city. "I woke up and my windows were broken. Then there were gun shots and explosions throughout the morning. Now almost half of the city remains closed," he said. Local taxi driver Khan Jan told the BBC: "The sound of the explosion was deafening, there was a powerful explosion which broke windows of nearby shops and homes. It woke the city." A local resident peers out of a nearby building that had its windows blown out The initial bomb blast damaged several nearby buildings On Tuesday, a suicide attack in northern Afghanistan killed 17 civilians including women and children and injured more than 60. The Taliban have threatened a campaign of violence to disrupt the election on 5 April. The poll will choose a new Afghan president to lead the country as foreign troops prepare to end their combat mission by the end of the year.

Sri Lanka beat India to win World Twenty20 title

The veteran left-hander knocked a 35-ball 52 not out in his last Twenty20 match to guide the Sri Lankan chase of a modest 131-run target in 17.5 overs at a packed Shere Bangla stadium.

Thisara Perera hit Ravichandran Ashwin for a winning boundary to seal the win, finishing with 21 not out.

But it was Sangakkara who anchored the chase with six boundaries and a six in his unbeaten knock.

The victory gave Sri Lanka their first world title in 18 years since winning the World Cup (50 overs) crown in 1996 and gave the World Twenty20 a fifth champion in as many editions.

India won the inaugural edition in 2007 followed by Pakistan (2009), England (2010) and the West Indies (2012).

It also broke Sri Lanka’s jinx of losing the final of major world level events as they had lost two World Cup (50 overs) finals (2007 and 2011) besides being runners-up in as many World Twenty20 events in 2009 and 2012.

The victory also gave a memorable swansong to veteran Mahela Jayawardene and Sangakkara who announced they will quit Twenty20 cricket after this tournament.

In contrast India were denied a chance to become the first team ever to hold three major cricketing titles at one time, after clinching the 2011 World Cup title and the Champions Trophy last year.

Sri Lanka lost wickets at regular intervals as Indian spinners applied pressure, but Sangakkara held one end intact.

Openers Kusal Perera went for five and Tillakaratne Dilshan for 18 before Sangakkara added 34 for the third wicket with Jayawardne (24) and another 54 for the unfinished fifth wicket with Thisara.

India were reduced to 130-4 by some tight Sri Lankan bowling despite a brilliant half-century by Virat Kohli.

Kohli scored a 58-ball 77 for his eighth Twenty20 half-century — his fourth in this tournament — after India were sent into bat in a match reduced by 40 minutes due to rain.

The rain spiced up the pitch for bowlers but Kohli was at his best when he came to the crease after India lost Ajinkya Rahane (three) in Angelo Mathews’s second over of the innings.

Let off by Lasith Malinga at mid-wicket off left-arm spinner Rangana Herath’s first delivery when 11, Kohli took full advantage of the laspe by hitting five boundaries and four sixes before he was run out off the final delivery.

Kohli added 60 for the second wicket with Rohit Sharma (29) and another 55 for the third with Yuvraj Singh who slowed down the tempo with a snail-paced 11 off 21 balls.

Sharma hit three boundaries during his 26-ball knock before he was caught off Herath who finished with 1-23 in his four overs.

So facile were India’s last four overs that there was no boundary and a well-set Kohli got just seven balls to play, restricting their total badly.

With the win Sri Lanka also capped a long two-and-a-half month tour of Bangladesh during which they won all matches in a bilateral series against the home team and five-nation Asia Cup.
