'You look at the world around you and you would see how the camera is playing such a major role in our lives,' Banerjee, who has earlier made 'Khosla Ka Ghosla' and 'Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!', told IANS.

'You may be on camera by intent or you may be completely oblivious to your actions being captured. But the fact remains that howsoever hard you may try, you can't fight technology. Voyeurism is what the whole society finds itself trapped in and this is the reality that I wish to bring through my film.'

A digital film with a hidden camera playing a character by itself, 'Love, Sex Aur Dhokha' features a bunch of newcomers with no mainstream trappings to it. Also, sex and voyeurism form a major driving force of the narrative of the film, which releases March 19.

'You may not like to believe it, but the fact is that sex does find itself being used as a tool by many to get ahead in life and be famous. One act and you may just earn yourself those 15 minutes of fame on TV. No wonder we have things like private phone or video conversations, hidden films and sting operations fetching so many eyeballs year after year...Come on guys, let's face it rather than running away from it,' he said.

Banerjee is also risking alienating some people from watching the film because of its bold title and the message it sends out.

'Well, what's wrong in that after all? If you don't like the title and think that it may not have the content that would be appropriate for you, then don't watch 'Love, Sex Aur Dhokha', simple. I know there is an audience waiting for the film and it is that segment which wants to call a spade a spade. In any case, the film isn't designed for those who wish to escape from the realities of life,' the director said.

It is this reality factor that is said to be the USP of 'Love, Sex Aur Dhokha', a co-production of Ekta Kapoor-Shobha Kapoor and Priya Sreedharan, the executive producer of 'Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!'.

While many would be uncomfortable with the idea of a film like this being made, Banerjee continues to ooze confidence.

'Don't worry about me. I am prepared for all the feedback coming my way. Whenever someone attempts something entirely different, there are questions raised. I am happy to have made a film like 'Love, Sex Aur Dhokha', which is bound to lead to a healthy debate. I am sure the next few weeks are going to be a lot of fun,' he said.

The newspaper Blesk reported that Kocab had been linked with his ministry's spokeswoman.

Roman Prorok, spokesman for Fischer, said in Prague that the prime minister would seek to discuss the matter with Kocab.

Kocab, 55, a rock musician and songwriter, is a political independent who was nominated for a cabinet post by the Czech Green Party. He has held the human rights portfolio since January 2009.

Parliamentary elections are scheduled for late May in the Czech Republic.

Ambani ranked fourth with $29 billion and Mittal ranked fifth with $28.7 billion on the Forbes list of billionaires released Wednesday.

The biggest loser in the world this year was Anil Ambani, who lost $32 billion - 76 percent of his fortune - as shares of his Reliance Communications, Reliance Power and Reliance Capital all collapsed, Forbes said on its website. He was last year's biggest gainer.

Ambani is one of 24 Indian billionaires, all but one of whom are poorer than a year ago. Another 29 Indians lost their billionaire status entirely as India's stock market tumbled 44 percent in the past year and the Indian rupee depreciated 18 percent against the dollar, Forbes said.

India is no longer the top spot in Asia for billionaires, ceding that title to China, which has 28.

Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim Helu topped the list, with $53.5 billion, $500 million ahead of long-time list topper Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft. Legendary investor Warren Buffet was third with $47 billion.

US wholesalers reported a drop of 0.2 percent in inventories in January, which was widely interpreted as a sign of rising demand.

Share prices for major banks and insurers helped drive the increase in the broader stock market. The financial subset within the Standard and Poor's 500 Index was up for a ninth straight trading session, the sectors longest share rally in 12 years, according to the Bloomberg financial news agency.

The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average added 2.95 points, or 0.03 percent, to 10,567.33. The broader Standard and Poor's 500 Index gained 5.16 points, or 0.45 percent, to 1,145.61. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 18.27 points, or 0.78 percent, to 2,358.95.

The US currency was off against the euro at 73.23 euro cents from 73.53 euro cents Tuesday. The dollar rose against the Japanese currency to 90.51 yen from 89.99 yen.

The list, released Wednesday, valued Slim's fortune at $53.5 billion, $500 million ahead of long-time list topper Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft. Legendary investor Warren Buffet was third with $47 billion.

Like most of the other billionaires, the top three saw their fortunes rise in 2009, a sign of the improvement of the world economy, said Forbes.

Overall, the 10 richest people had $342 billion, or $88 billion more than last year.

The number of billionaires also increased to 1,011. That's much higher than the 793 super-rich who made in onto the list last year, but lower than the record number of 1,125 in 2008.

The world's richest woman, according to Forbes, was Wal-Mart heiress Christy Walton, whose $22.5-billion fortune put her in twelfth place. Only 89 women made it in to the billionaires club, and most inherited their wealth. Of the 14 self-made female billionaires, seven came from China.

The 24th Forbes list included people from 55 countries, with first entries from Finland and Pakistan.

The US led the list with 403 billionaires. But China came second for the first time with 64 super-rich, followed by Russia with 62 billionaires. Of the world's 97 new billionaires, 62 were from Asia.

Two Indians made it to the top 10 - oil magnate Mukesh Ambani in fourth with $29 billion and steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal in fifth with $28.7 billion. The other members of the top 10 were Oracle founder Larry Ellison, ($28 billion), fashion tycoon Bernard Arnault ($27.5 billion), Brazilian commodities king Eike Batista ($27 billion), Spanish clothing magnate Amancio Ortega ($25 billion) and German supermarket tycoon Karl Albrecht ($23.5 billion).

The city with the greatest billionaire density was New York with 60 super-rich, followed by Moscow (50) and London (32).

The military junta that runs Myanmar, published a law on Wednesday that stated 2,000 imprisoned dissidents cannot participate, effectively sidelining jailed activist Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the National League for Democracy.

'We made clear that, given the tenor of the election laws that they've put forward, there's no hope that this election will be credible,' State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said, adding the laws make the election a 'mockery of the democratic process.'

The regime has yet to announce a date for the election, the last of which took place 20 years ago before the military junta seized power and began rounding up democratic activists. Suu Kyi has been in prison or under house arrest for years.

The US has applied sanctions to Myanmar to keep pressure on the regime for democratic reforms, and the Obama administration had reached out to Myanmar hoping to encourage change. But those efforts do not appear to be working.

'Our engagement with Burma will have to continue until we can make clear that the results thus far are not what we had expected and that they're going to have to do better,' Crowley said.

The Temple of Literature, located in a park in central Hanoi, was founded by emperor Ly Thanh Tong in 1070. It is dedicated to Confucius.

Vietnam's first university was established in the complex in 1076 to train the administrative and defence staff.

It has 82 stelae mounted on top of giant tortoises that line on the side of the temple. They date from 1484 and record names, birthplaces and achievements of the men who received doctorates here.

Names of 2,313 students graduated from the institution between 1484 and 1780, during the Late Le, Mac, Trinh and Nguyen dynasties, were sculpted in the stones.

Although the complex has undergone many changes over the centuries, the architecture of the site belong to the Ly (1010-1225) and Tran (1225-1400) dynasties, a recent study has showed.

The Unesco recognition was approved recently in Macau, the report said Wednesday.

The 34-year-old was stripped of the 100m, 200m, 4x400m Olympic gold medals she won at Sydney as well as her 4x100m and long jump bronze medals after admitting in 2007 that she was using forbidden doping substances at the time of the Games in 2000, as part of the Balco lab scandal.

Jones, who announced last November that she intended making a sporting comeback in basketball, played the sport in college for North Carolina and won a national college championship with the Tar Heels in 1994.

'The WNBA players are the greatest womens basketball players in the world. I welcome my chance to play alongside them,' Jones said at a press conference in Tulsa.

In 2008, Jones spent nearly six months in prison after pleading guilty to perjury after admitted lying to federal investigators about her use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Unesco director-general Irina Bukova said this at the end of her two-day visit to Haiti Wednesday.

Bukova said the Haitian cultural heritage is in danger due to vandalism, pillage and trafficking of artworks in the wake of the quake and her organisation will work hard to protect them.

The Jan 12 quake damaged several Haitian heritage sites such as the National Palace and Port-au-Prince Cathedral. It also damaged the Nader Gallery where Naif Art collections were kept.

About 400 oil paintings were retrieved and many paintings were lost from the rubbles of the collapsed walls of the gallery, Prensa Latina reported.

'We have received a request for training Afghan policemen and we are still studying it,' Minister of State for Media Affairs Nabil Sharif said at a press conference.

He did not give further details, but the NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen indicated during a visit to Jordan last week that the alliance was in the process of establishing formal cooperation with Jordan in this respect, given Amman's success in training Iraqi troops and police forces after the 2003 US-led invasion.

'We are very grateful that Jordan has offered similar assistance with the training of Afghan National Security Forces, and I hope that we can soon formalise our cooperation in this area,' Rasmussen said in a lecture at the Jordan Institute of Diplommacy.

Sharif's statement coincided with a call by the Muslim Brotherhood movement on the Jordanian government to reject the NATO pressure.

'Jordan has no interest to enter a battle raging between the Afghan people and the NATO alliance because such a step will turn Jordan into a partner in the atrocities committed by the US forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan,' the group's leader, Hammam Saeed, said in a statement Tuesday.

Jordan has about 90 military personnel in Afghanistan, thus becoming the only Arab country to have a military presence in the war-torn Islamic country.
