On the fast track

The Delhi Metro, under the stewardship of E. Sreedharan, has created a system that is a technological marvel as well as an example of successful corporate culture. Besides other states of India, many foreign countries too want to replicate the experiment.

Options ahead

Luring tourists, Singapore style
This tiny city-state is always in celebration mode. Syed Nooruzzaman captures the sights and sounds of Singapore
Scan the Indian newspapers and you come across big colour advertisements luring people, of course, with money to spend in a tiny country. That is Singapore, a model of excellence in the East. The city-state is always in a celebration mode, but the situation is entirely different during the two closing months of the year — November and December. There is a party mania with dazzling lights all around.

Adieu Godzilla
It may be curtains for the monster that never let you forget the horrors of nuclear war. Ervell E. Menezes on the evergreen favourite facing extinction
Will that Green monster Godzilla be finally trotting into the susnset ? If one goes by reports from Tokyo, the monster that terrified the world for 50 years, is threatening to call it a day. Is it because its boil-covered flesh calls to mind the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

The Hungarian films screened recently in Chandigarh vividly captured the inner turmoil and socio-political concerns of a people caught in the throes of change.
