So, since Atif Aslam had asked us to follow the whole Prince - It’s Showtime thing on YouTube, we did. The official track list for the film has been released and has a whopping 16 songs in its dossier. The film will be released on March 26, and we can hardly wait to see Vivek Oberoi aka Prince prance around in a black pleather bodysuit as he mimes to Atif’s sonorous voice. Because, wait for it, we counted, and Atif has sung 11 songs on the soundtrack! If that is not musical fabulousness, we don’t know what is. And never mind the fact that four of those songs are dance mixes of ones he has already sung on the album, one is a ‘hip hop mix’ and another is a ‘lounge mix’. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s intriguing that every song Imran Khan sings becomes a smash hit. What is even more fascinating is a fact which one has only just discovered recently: Wikipedia describes him as a “Pakistani Punjabi singer from The Hague, Holland”. That somebody with his roots in Pakistan has become a party favourite is actually quite cool.

Imran Khan rose to fame with his super hit single ‘Ni Nachleh’ in 2007, an infectious tune that had everyone dancing and grooving to its ‘Punjabi gansta’ rhythm, and was being played all over the world. Read the rest of this entry »

World number one Roger Federer believes younger players like Andy Murray are bringing the best out of him.

The 28-year-old lifted his 16th Grand Slam trophy at the Australian Open after a straight-sets win over world number four Murray.

“Guys like Murray have made me a better player,” he said after a 6-3 6-4 7-6 (13-11) win on Sunday.

“I think this has been one of my finest performances in a long time, you know, or maybe forever.”

Federer’s win makes him the fifth man in history to win four titles in Melbourne.

The Swiss has also won Wimbledon six times, the US Open five times and the French Open once.

With the first major of the year under his belt, the calendar Grand Slam is now within his reach, but Federer claims it is not a target.

“I try to give my best everywhere I go to, because I think there’s not only the Grand Slams,” he said.

“I won’t just put the entire season just around trying to win the calendar Grand Slam. I mean, it’s something if it happens, if it does, it’s great; but it’s not something that’s like my number one goal. Not at all.

“It’s the same as I haven’t put a number on how many Grand Slams I want to try to win. Whatever happens, happens.

“I really want to try to enjoy the end to my career, because I’ve reached already so many goals I thought were never possible. I really want to just enjoy the tour, and that’s what I’m doing at the moment.”

Federer ended last year’s final in tears after an agonising five-set defeat by Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open final that left him stranded on 13 Grand Slam titles, one short of Peter Sampras’ all-time record.

However, with Nadal injured, Federer secured an emotional first win at the French Open to draw level with Sampras before he broke the record at Wimbledon.

Federer’s win in Melbourne underlined his dominance of the men’s game, and the 28-year-old has not yet started to consider retirement.

“I know this is an incredible trip I’m on,” he said on Sunday. “We’ll see where it ends. I hope not any time soon.

“My game is not as taxing as other players’ games. I also think I have a very relaxed mind when it comes to the game of tennis.

“Off the court, it’s a matter of relaxing and enjoying it, seeing friends and family. There’s more important things than tennis after all.

“I think that’s something I’ve always had a clear vision of how my life is. I think that’s also helped me to go through tougher phases.”

Australia completed a 5-0 series sweep over Pakistan with a nail-biting two-wicket victory in the final one-dayer at the WACA in Perth.

Michael Hussey hit an unbeaten 40 the help the hosts reach their target of 213 with four balls to spare in the final over of a low-scoring thriller.

Skipper Ricky Ponting contributed 55 but a much-changed Australia team were pegged back by the dual spin threat of Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik.

Pakistan’s bowlers wouldn’t have had much to bowl at had it not been for contrasting half-centuries from Umar Akmal and Fawid Alam.
Having chosen to bat first, the tourists crumbled to 16-3 in the first powerplay, openers Salman Butt and Khalid Latif both failing to trouble the scorers while former skipper Younus Khan managed to make just three.

However Akmal led the recovery mission, his patient innings of 67, which included two fours and a six, coming off 102 balls.

He shared a stand of 60 with Shoaib Malik, who was run out by the returning Mitchell Johnson for 36, before Alam helped pick up the pace during an 82-run alliance for the fifth wicket.

Stand-in skipper Afridi managed just a single before falling to the in-form Ryan Harris (3-44), though Clint Mackay was the pick of the home attack with excellent figures of 4-35.

The Victorian seamer dismissed Iftikhar Anjum (16 off eight deliveries) and then Alam with successive balls in the 50th over - the latter the final wicket to fall - having made a sparkling 63 from 70 deliveries.

Attempting to chase down a modest total, Australia lost wickets at regular intervals to make sure the game remained in the balance.
Ponting top-scored with a half-century before becoming one of two wickets to fall to the off-spin of Malik, the other being that of Adam Voges for 24.

Afridi played his part with the ball too, bowling the dangerous Cameron White for 13 and then getting James Hopes caught out for six as the tension grew.

Hussey, though, proved to the thorn in Pakistan’s side. The left-hander took few risks during his 46-ball knock, though he relied on some help from the tail.

Mitchell Johnson chipped in with 13 while Nathan Hauritz hit 18 before number 10 Harris came out in the final over to help see Australia over the line, the winning run coming courtesy of a hip-high no-ball from seamer Iftikhar Anjum.

As if another defeat Down Under wasn’t bad enough for Pakistan, though, Afridi could find himself in hot water after television cameras pictured the all-rounder appearing to bite the ball whilst in the field.

The third umpire reported the incident to the on-field officials, who immediately ordered the ball be replaced.

There was further controversy later on when a spectator ran onto the field and rugby tackled Latif, who was not hurt in the incident, near the boundary’s edge.
