Petra means "rock" in Greek, built in 1200 BC,this town  is located about three hours south of Amman, the capital of Jordan, literally carved out of sandstone desert cliffs is a historical and archaeological city in the Jordanian govern orate of Ma'an  known for its rock cut architecture and water conduits system.Established and dwell ed around the 6th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans,a nomadic Arab tribe known as the Nabataeans lived several centuries before Christ's birth. They were renowned for their great skills in trade, agriculture, engineering, and architectural stone-carving. is a symbol of Jordan as well as its most visited tourist place. It lies on the slope of Mount Hor in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Wadi Araba. Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
 The Nabataeans worshiped the Arab gods and goddesses of the pre-Islamic times as well as a few of their deified kings.According to Arab tradition, Petra is the spot where Moses (Musa) struck a rock with his staff and water came forth, and where Moses' brother, Aaron (Harun), is buried, at Mount Hor, known today as Jabal Haroun .
In 363 an earthquake destroyed many buildings, and crippled the vital water management system. The ruins of Petra were an object of curiosity in the Middle Ages and were visited by Sultan Baibars of Egypt towards the end of the 13th century. The first European to describe them was Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812.Because the structures weakened with age, many of the tombs became vulnerable to thieves, and many treasures were stolen. 
Petra was discovered by archaeologists in the early 1800s and has since become one of the premier tourist sites in the Middle East, especially after its use as a location for the popular 1989 feature film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.Rediscovered in 1800, Petra- Lost City of Stone first was conceived in 1994 by the Cincinnati Art Museum, which joined with the American Museum of Natural History in New York City in a decade-long effort to gather the 200 exceptional objects that comprise the exhibit. Items on display will include stone sculptures and reliefs, ceramics, metalwork, artworks in various media and other priceless artifacts. All are on loan from collections in Jordan and throughout Europe, and many are on display in the United States for the first time in history.
 
Petra: Lost City of Stone is organized by Cincinnati Art Museum and American Museum of Natural History, New York, under the patronage of Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Air transportation generously provided by Royal Jordanian .

Earlier the hugging[Jaadu ki jhappi = magical hug ] Of Preeti Zinta ,shilpa Shetty and other celebrities made news, but after the series of kissing spree taking place in Ipl their hugging is taken back seat.As the matches race towards the end of the season , people are looking forward for "who planst kiss on whom".I doubt from now cameras will even show common public who come to see the matches.

What happened after Rajasthan Royal's win
The 45-year-old  Liz Hurley is in India supporting Shane, 41, as he captains the Rajasthan Royals . Hurley rushed to embrace Warne after the IPL Twenty20 match victory over Kochi Tuskers Keralaat the Swai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur yesterday.LIZ Hurley couldn't wait to congratulate Shane Warne after he captained the Rajasthan Royals to victory.LIZ Hurley couldn't wait to congratulate Shane Warne after he captained the Rajasthan Royals to victory.Elizabeth was far more interested in cheering her boyfriend Shane Warne on at his cricket game, and the couple engaged in some post-match kissing after shane's team won this even made the Royal couple blush.
On top of their passionate display of affection after Shane's match  the couple are back to their incessant tweeting.[Wonder why do they need Twitter when they are constantly in touch] Warne may no longer be pulling on the whites for Australia, but it seems his legendary spin skills are not going to waste.Speculation over the Warne and Hurley's relationship has raged since the pair were spied kissing last year at an English race meeting.The pair have been regularly tweeting each other ever since,many news agencies tabloids are writing a lot about their tweets these day .
Warne's affection for Hurley was proven strong with the presentation of a blue fronted Amazonian parrot named Ping Pong last Christmas.The bird now has its own twitter account  just like it's owners.

A marriage is two combined souls trying to dance a duet at the same time.
 The more you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.

Katrina Kaif’s latest item number a copy of Chor Bazari?


Do you remember the Chor Bazari item song from the film Love Aaj Kal? Well, Katrina Kaif might have her next item number based on this song. The film Love Aaj Kal was released in 2009 and it is being rumored that, Katrina Kaif’s next item number is loosely based on this song.
The song is from the film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. It so happens that, Katrina drinks a lot of bhaang at a roadside dhaba and loses control over her own self. She then starts to dance and sing there itself. She is in total madness and completely unaware of her surroundings.
Now, if you compare this song with that of Deepika Padukone’s song from Love Aaj Kal, you will strike the similarities. In this song too, Deepika is seen on the road dancing without caring for the world outside.
Meanwhile, Katrina has remarked, probably setting on fire the cold war, she has not seen the item number by Deepika Padukone in Dum Maaro Dum. In fact, she is not at all interested to see it, said Kat.
Coming back to Katrina’s item number, the background to the song is this that, Katrina, along with Ali Zafar and Imran Khan is travelling on a highway in Uttar Pradesh. They stop at a roadside dhaba to have their dinner. This is where all three of them have bhaang and the item song takes birth.
