Holysmoke Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 BBC headlines :haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha: India's star batsman, Sachin Tendulkar, says he has renounced showers in favour of "bucket baths", as part of a campaign to save water in Mumbai. A bucket bath is simply a bucket of water and a mug to wash oneself with. It uses much less water than a shower. The international cricketer has made a short film urging the people of Mumbai to save water. Mumbai has been facing severe water shortages and cuts of up to 30% have been imposed in most parts of the city. The cricketer says his entire family has switched to bucket baths in an effort to save water. The 30-second film is expected to be aired in the coming weeks. Water riots Officials say that with Sachin Tendulkar starring in the film, its impact will be much greater. A shower is said to consume more water than any other daily action. Resorting to bucket baths and stored water is a way of life for residents in many areas, as water is supplied for only a couple of hours each day. Monsoon rainfall has not been sufficient to resolve the shortage and the water cuts will continue until June or July 2010. Mumbai has a daily requirement of 4,200m litres of water, and it is falling short by 800m litres. In recent months the shortage has sparked violent demonstrations by Mumbai residents. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8452425.stm

Temujin Khaghan Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 if tendulkar had been a girl' date=' i would have been in love with her. actually i am in love with tendulkar. the dude is too good to be true! humble and patient as a chopping block and yet magnificent in action![/quote'] i dont think there are any girls like that. even in fantasy literature, its very rare a woman being potrayed in that fashion. if they are modest and submissive, they lack fighting skills if they have fighting skills, god save you.
