When
Asterix met Tintin
Vikramdeep Johal
IT
was a meeting nothing short of historic, though it won’t be recorded
in history books. Bridging a gargantuan gap of 20 centuries, two
legends came face to face at an exhibition of comics in Chandigarh
recently. One, a warrior from a village in Gaul, who has the gall to
take on the Roman Empire; the other, a city-bred
reporter-cum-investigator, the bugbear of international crooks, spies
and what not.

Dharam Pal
TWO
teenagers Julia and Lena from Russia, who have formed a music group
known as t.A.T.u, are Universal’s current music sensation. The band’s
scandalous single "Ya Soshla S Uma" (All The Things
She Said), which has become immensely popular in Eastern Europe,
dwells on the story of a love affair between two girls.
