Parsis
become ‘Heritage Tribe’!
Sarosh Medhora
THE
UNESCO has initiated a research project for the conservation of the
"rich heritage of the Parsis in India" as part of its ongoing
programme to document lifestyles of such fast-vanishing cultures
worldwide.
To nag or not to nag
is the question
Mohinder Singh
THE
unflattering stereotype of a nagging wife has persisted through
centuries. She is a figure of ridicule whose sole preoccupation is to
correct and improve the husband.
Ugly
face of beauty
A.J. Singh
PROBLEMS
of a beautiful woman begin before she can hardly understand a spoken
word. As a baby she is cooed over, dressed with excessive care and kept
unusually clean and fresh. The first words she hears describing her are
"adorable", "pretty" and so on.
Model
marriages, indeed
Sonya Dutta
Choudhary
EAST
may be East and West still West, but today the two are meeting in a
myriad model ways. Witness the recent marriages of top Indian female
models Madhu Sapre, Sheetal Mallar, Vidisha Pavate, among others, all to
westerners. All with much panache and verve.
Single,
but not fancy-free
Gurmeet Anand
A
single woman is always a centre of attention. If she happens to be a
widow or a divorcee, then everyone will sympathise with her as long as
the married woman does not feel threatened that her husband is showing
undue concern.

M.L. Dhawan

Ervell E.
Menezes
FIRST
it was The Lord of the Rings. Now it is Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer’s Stone.Hollywood is back to fairy tale world with
wizards and witchcraft and that anything-is-possible mould.
All
ye ants of the world unite!
Rooma Mehra
SOMETIMES
I find myself stealing envious glances, in the midst of heated debates,
at those who have handed the course of their lives over to the secure
keeping of kismet.
Add
feathers in your cap
D.C. Sharma
HAVE
you ever wondered why some people command respect, and others don’t ?
Those commanding respect reveal their self-worth. The others can’t. It
is our self-image which makes the difference !
