IF you need a good sob, don’t
bottle up your tears—research shows it’s the best way to beat the

Spice Girls did it, and puffy, red eyes accompany every announcement of
another celebrity couple’s break-up.

Hawaiian honour
for Aparna Sen
IT's
celebration time once again for Bengali director Aparna Sen. Her film Mr
& Mrs Iyer, has been named as the best feature film at the
Hawaii International Festival. Two decades ago, her film, 36
Chowringhee Lane had won the Kodak award for best cinematography in
the same fest.
