education days - from getting caned to kneeling down for the whole day. 

"When in school, kneeling down in front of the principal's office was a regular feature. I have also been caned a couple of times. It is strange that when you get caned, you don't realise the pain instantly, but after two seconds it shoots so badly... It's awful," Aamir told reporters here.

"I used to be more interested in sports and hence used to always forget doing my homework. Also, poor marks used to create problems for me. I used to get scolded very often," he added.

The 44-year-old actor also revealed that he only studied till Class 12 and never had a very good college life.

"My education has only been till 12th standard because after that I got into films. Even while in college for my 11th and 12th, I used to hardly attend classes because I was always busy with dramatics.

"Because of this, I didn't have a very rocking college life. But during the shoot of '3 idiots' I lived the moments of a student's life and enjoyed the way students do," said Aamir, who used to study in Narsee Monjee College in Mumbai.

Court Grants Polanski $4.5m Bail

 SWISS court has granted Roman Polanski a $US4.5 million ($4.8 million) bail to await a final decision on whether he should be extradited to the United States over a child sex case.

The 76-year-old Oscar-winning director, who fled the US in 1978 after admitting having sex with a 13-year-old girl, will be restricted to his chalet in a Swiss resort and be subject to 24 hour electronic surveillance.

The Swiss Federal Criminal Court ordered Polanski kept in detention while the justice ministry decides whether it would appeal against the bail. But the Government said it would not object.
US authorities, who have been actively hunting Polanski for several years, made no immediate official comment on the bail moveThe Swiss Federal Criminal Court said there was a "high" danger that the director of Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown would try to flee.

But it said the 4.5 million Swiss francs ($US4.5 million, €3.0 million) bail offered by the director, together with him handing over identity papers, and house arrest with electronic monitoring were "sufficient to avert the risk of flight".

 Polanski, who has Polish and French nationality, has a chalet at Gstaad, where he will now have to stay once released, his lawyers said.

Acting on a US warrant, Swiss police detained Polanski when he arrived at Zurich airport on September 26 to attend a film festival where he was to receive a special award. He has been held in prison ever since, vowing through his lawyers to fight extradition.

Marc Henzelin, a Swiss lawyer and specialist on extradition cases, said it was "very rare" for bail to be allowed in such cases.

Two earlier requests for bail were turned down because of fears that Polanski would leave the country.

But in the latest ruling, the court said that the bail sum offered represented a "substantial portion of Polanski's fortune".

"Regarding his advanced age in the case of loss of said bail the possibility of re-accumulation of fortune in this amount would not be certain," it said.More Readhttp://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/world/court-grants-polanski-45m-bail/story-e6frf7lf-1225804173121

With her private life and public persona firmly back on track and a successful world tour still going strong after long eight months, pop princess Britney Spears is said to be happy, healthy and ready to take her next big step — a walk down the aisle with ever-present manager-boyfriend Jason Trawick.

“Britney said she does not have a doubt in her mind that she wants to spend the rest of her life with Jason,” one insider revealed to OK! magazine. “She has already discussed marriage with him, and they are both excited about a romantic wedding.”

Well, that mutual excitement part is where opinions differ. While a News.com.au reportsupports the case for the singer’s enthusiasm, it portrays Trawick as a man with no interest in hearing wedding bells any time soon.
