Bhuvan, (Sanskrit: भुवन, Telugu: భువన్, Kannada: ಭುವನ್, Hindi: भुवन, Malayalam: ഭുവന്, Tamil: புவன், lit: Earth), is a software application which allows users to explore a 3D representation of the surface of the Earth. The browser is specifically tailored to view India, offering the highest resolution in this region. A beta version was launched on 12 August 2009.
ISRO launched the beta version of its web-based 3D satellite imagery tool, Bhuvan, on August 12, 2009. Bhuvan offers more detailed imagery of Indian locations compared to other Virtual Globe software, with spatial resolutions ranging from 5 to 100 metres. Locations can be viewed from different perspectives, and the software will also provide functionality for the measurement of distances. The Bhuvan portal is designed to run on slow Internet connections. The images available do not include any military installations in India, due to security concerns.
Bhuvan has a number of other features, which include weather information and administrative boundaries of all states and districts in India. Bhuvan provides images of the entire globe, but resolution is currently best in India. On the Indian subcontinent, Bhuvan will be able to display pictures from a perceived altitude of 10 metres, at which height a commuter moving on a road can easily be spotted.
Aamir Hussain Khan (pronounced [ˈaːmɪr ˈxaːn]) (born 14 March 1965) is an Indian film actor, director and producer who has established himself as one of the leading actors of Hindi cinema.
Starting his career as a child actor in his uncle Nasir Hussain's film Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973), Khan began his professional career eleven years later with Holi (1984) and had his first commercial success with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988). He received his first National Film Award as a Special Jury Award for his roles in the films Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) and Raakh (1989). After eight previous nominations during the 1980s and 1990s, Khan received his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor for his performance in the major grosser Raja Hindustani (1996) and later earned his second Best Actor award for his performance in the Academy Award-nominated Lagaan, which also marked the debut of his own production company.
Following a four-year break from acting, Khan made his comeback playing the title role in the historical Mangal Pandey: The Rising (2005), and later won a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor for his role in Rang De Basanti (2006). The following year, he made his directorial debut with Taare Zameen Par, for which he received a Filmfare Award for Best Director. This was followed by Ghajini (2008), which became the highest grossing film of that year, and 3 Idiots (2009), which became the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all-time, unadjusted for inflation. The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri in 2003 and the Padma Bhushan in 2010 for his contributions towards the arts.

Plot
This is the story about the resilience shown by the Indians when they were under the British Rule. They are already taxed to the bone by the British and their cronies, but when Jack Russell announces that he will double the Lagaan (tax) from all villagers, they decide to oppose it. Leading the villagers is a handsome young man named Bhuvan, who challenges them to a game of cricket, a game that is to be played by veteran British cricket players, versus villagers, including Bhuvan himself, who have never played this game before, and do not even know a bat from a piece of wood. As the challenge is accepted, the interest grows and attracts Indians from all over the region, as well as the British from all over the country - as everyone gathers to see the 'fair play' that the British will display against their counter-parts, who are aided by none other than the sister, Elizabeth, of Captain Rusell.

Once upon a time in India
Arjan: Bhura, these chickens of yours are a real pain.
Col. Boyer: At ease, Captain. You know Major Cotton. That is Major Warren. Take a seat. Now, what is this we hear? That you have agreed to cancel the tax of the farmers in Champaner if they beat you in a game of cricket? Is this true?::Capt. Russell: Yes, Colonel Boyer, sir, it is.::Col. Boyer: What on earth do you think you're here for? To play games?::Maj. Warren: Let me remind you that you are working here for Her Majesty, the Queen. Your job is to ensure the smooth running of your province.::Capt. Russell: Pardon me, sir, but that's exactly what I'm doing.::Maj. Cotton: I think we'll be the judge of that, Russell! We also understand that if you lose this so-called match, you will cancel their taxes for the next three years.::Maj. Warren: Not just Champaner but the entire province.::Capt. Russell: But they won't win.::Maj. Warren: You're missing the whole bloody point! Do you realize, Captain Russell, that we could have on our hands a bloody situation where there'll be cricket matches happening all over the damn sub-continent in order to cancel the bloody tax?::Capt. Russell: There is one thing you don't know. If they lose, which they will, they will have to pay the Queen three times the tax.::Maj. Cotton: This is ridiculous! This OFFICER wants to make the government a bookie through which he can place his wagers! What'll you have us do next? Race horses?::Col. Boyer: This is the most preposterous idea I have ever heard of! Now jolly well understand this: if you win, you will have had a narrow escape. But if you lose, YOU will pay the taxes for Champaner and the entire province OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET! And then you'll be packed off to Central Africa! Is that clear?::Capt. Russell: Yes, Sir!::Col. Boyer: That'll be all. You may go.
Gauri: I have faith in you and in your courage.
Gauri: You think I don't see which way the Ganges is flowing?::Bhuvan: Oh, pity me, I feel the pain of the scorpion's sting. You're jealous!::Gauri: [gasps] Why should I be jealous? Jealousy is beneath me.::Bhuvan: You're jealous, and I know who you're jealous of.::Gauri: I never want to see you again, and don't even try and talk to me.
Lakha: See how badly hurt I am?::Gauri: Hurt? It's my father you need. Not me. Father? Lakha has cut his hand.::Ishwar: He seems to cut his hand more than he cuts wood.
Ramprasad: [choosing other team members] How about Kashi Nath?::Bhura: Kashi Nath? If he runs, he'll split: Kashi one side, Nath the other!
Burton: [smugly hits Yardley's ball for 4] How was that?::Yardley: [bowls a fast ball, knocking Burton back onto his own wicket, sarcastically] How was *that*?
Bhuvan: Whether you support me or not, Kachra will play.
Maj. Warren: Gentleman, he's on a hat trick!
Maj. Cotton: That must be the first 50 in the history of village cricket.
Pavanne, cold steel woman Pavanne
How do you love a woman
With eyes cold as the barrel of her gun
Who's never missed her mark on anyone
Pavanne, Pavanne, Pavanne
Casino doors swing open, the rich men raise their eyes
They say who is this beauty as elegant as ice
And later there's an accident, another charge d'affair
Is lying in a pool of blood, no witness anywhere
And they say she was a hundred miles away
The hotel porter saw her climb the stairs
And the maid with trembling hands knows what to say
When the judge says "Are your sure," "I'm sure" she
swears
Pavanne, cold steel woman Pavanne
How do you love a woman
With eyes cold as the barrel of her gun
Who's never missed her mark on anyone
Pavanne, Pavanne, Pavanne
At the presidential palace a thousand people saw
His excellency leave his car and never make the door
The blood flows from his fingers as he clutches at the
stain
He staggers like a drunken man, lies twisted in the
rain
And they say she grew up well provided for
Her mother used to keep her boys for sure
And father's close attentions led to talk
She learned to stab her food with a silver fork
Pavanne, cold steel woman Pavanne
And they say she didn't do it for the money
And they say she didn't do it for a man
They say that she did it for the pleasure
The pleasure of the moment
Pavanne, cold steel woman Pavanne
How do you stop this woman
When everyone is moving in a trance
Like prisoners of some slow, courtly dance
Pavanne, Pavanne, Pavanne
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember,
The people we used to be...
It's even harder to picture,
That you're not here next to me.
You say it's too late to make it,
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
If "Happy Ever After" did exist,
I would still be holding you like this
[Video:] All those fairy tales are full of shit
[Album:] All those fairy tales are full of it.
[Video:] One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.
[Album:] One more stupid love song, I'll be sick
Oh, you turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday.
I gave you my love to borrow,
But you just gave it away.
You can't expect me to be fine,
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before,
But all of my bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?

[Album:] All those fairy tales are full of it.
[Video:] One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.
[Album:] One more stupid love song, I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone[Wiz Khalifa:]
Man, fuck that shit
I'll be out spending all this money
While you're sitting round wondering
Why it wasn't you who came up from nothing,
Made it from the bottom
Now when you see me I'm stunning,
And all of my cars start with a push of a button
Telling me the chances I blew up
Or whatever you call it,
Switch the number to my phone
So you never could call it,
Don't need my name on my shirt,
You can tell it I'm ballin.
Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could have saw but sad to say it's over for.
Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for
Now it's me who they want, so you can go and take
that little piece of shit with you.
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
If "Happy Ever After" did exist,

To resist is to piss in the wind, anyone who does will end up smelling
Knowing this why do I defy
Cuz my inner voice is yelling
There is a fist pressing against, anyone who thinks something compelling
Our intuit we're taught to deny
And our soul we're told is for selling
Get out from under them
Resist and multiply
Get out from under precipice
And see the sky
Get out from under them
Resist, unlearn, defy
Get out from under precipice
And see the sky
To resist is to piss in the wind, anyone who does will end up smelling

Get out from under them

Pavanne, Cold steel woman, Pavanne.
How do you love a woman?
With eyes as cold as the barrel of her gun,
Who's never missed her mark on anyone,
Pavanne, Pavanne, Pavanne.
tell me how come, yeah we lost all the fun
and on the spot i get it, we stayed here for too long
it's just the five of us in this old volkswagen bus
the music's loud, we're in a good mood and the beer is cold
we take the six-packs
we take a ride
yeah through the country
and we go by van
where is the promoter with the money for the show
seems it's one more thing we don't know (oh we don't know)
spotlights are killed, we're back in the van
Ik heb altijd geweten dat zonder eten
Niemand ooit echt goed kan zijn
Ik heb altijd vermoed dat wie zijn dingen doet
Een oorlog voert maar in het klein
Als het er op aan komt
Als er gevochten wordt
Op het scherpst van het mes
Dan denk ik:
Lang lag ik onder
Maar zonder de wanhoop
Van het wachten in nachten
Die eindeloos duren
‘k Heb geloof in mijn hoofd
En mijn handen
Straks kom ik boven
Straks kom ik boven
Ik heb altijd gedacht dat de krachten
Die me drijven de mijne moeten zijn
En ik heb altijd gezegd dat als je vecht
Je niet meer bang moet zijn voor bloed en pijn
Als het er op aan komt
Als er gevochten wordt
Op het scherpst van het mes
Dan denk ik:
Lang lag ik onder
Maar zonder de wanhoop
Van het wachten in nachten
Die eindeloos duren
‘k Heb geloof in mijn hoofd
En mijn handen
Straks kom ik boven
Straks kom ik boven
Weet dat ieder geuzenlied een zwanenzang kan worden
Als wildgemaakte horden je schoppen als een hond
Maar het land dwingt nooit de vogel
En de zee dwingt nooit de leeuw
En het hart van elke Zeeuw klopt in geen keel
Maar in de grond…

How do you stop this woman
When everyone is moving in a trance?
Like prisoners of some slow, courtly dance?
Pavanne, Pavanne, Pavanne,
Fare you well on the morrow I must leave
And I'm bound for a far and distant land
A tale would tell of my poor heart and how it grieves
So for you my love this sorrowful Pavan
(Chorus:)
I was born in Lincoln country
And the son of a country wife am I
Out of all the flowers growing wild in yon forest
You're the fairest rose on which I've laid an eye
Love me hard with the dawn I'll be gone
And I don't know if I'll be back again
God as my guard I'm the champion of the wronged
Off to holy wars to fight the Saracen
(Chorus)
While you're away does your spouse turn a whore
Or a chastity belt maiden while crusader's at war
I'm tired of my chain mail
My armour makes me sore
And it all seems so futile
Weep you will but my love I cannot stay
Dry your eyes and we'll share a parting kiss
Wait until the advent of that day
When I'm home and gone is sadness as this
Just cry
You don't have to hide it from me
Rely on me
Just cry
Even if you don't know why
Rely on me
That's what you said, but I don't know
I'm walking here so all alone
I wanna hear your voice right now
I'm looking for it all around
I really need to find a payphone
Just smile
You don't have to hide it from me
Come dance with me
Just smile
Even if you don't know why
Come dance with me
I know you can't smile those tears away
Belle qui tiens ma vie
Cap tive dans tes yeux viens
: Tät me se courir ou me foudra mourir:
Qui m'as I'a me ravie
D'un souriz graci eux viens
[Pavane (Übersetzung)]
Du Schöne, die mein Leben in ihren Augen gefangen hält
Die meine Seele mit einem lieben Lächeln entführt hat
Kommt mich bald erlösen
(Terri/Eric)
Time's a mister crime's a mister
Mister right is sex and shelter
Sam says fists can make him feel like magic
Sam says bitch let Sam devour
The songs they seem so real
See the songs they speak to him
See the songs fists sinking, says he's sorry
Tears just only make the weak seem weaker
Sam says weak ones are the only ones to fight
Sam says sex is black and blue assault
And that salt makes better all the ladies
The songs they calm him down
See the songs they make a dove from a hound
See the songs can make even Sam sound sad
Down, down
Is this it?
Says his voice to the face in the payphone
And the face she seldom speaks, seldom lies
Says the face into the payphone
And the face she seldom speaks, seldom lies
Oh damn you killed our summer
And the weather seldom clears
Sam says baby let's be bygones
But the face she seldom hears, seldom heals
I'm at a payphone trying to call home

I must've have been half-baked
tryin' to work the land
I must've been some sight
A shovel in my hand
If you could see me
turning over dirt
I must've been out there
for taking no advice
I used to be laid-back
and to be precise
I like a late morning
to rest my weary head
You have to be gifted
to get me out of bed
I don't care
if you give it away
Give it away
And I'm there
I'm digging my heels in
I swore I'd never quit
I got me a bovine
to make me look legit
I got me a sheep-dog
and a beat-up truck
I couldn't do better
to get me thru the much
I couldn't do better
to get me turn the mulch
I have until Monday
to make a little sense
I got until Tuesday
to present my full defense
I'm betting the farm on
I'm gonna lose my shirt
Apart from a bovine
I own a piece of dirt
I must have been crazy
for taking on the work
I don't mind
if you give it away
Give it away
