What lies beneath?
Dust, hair, breadcrumbs, dead skin, grime, bacteria… an average keyboard is dirtier than
a toilet seat! Are you keyed in to filth too?

Ravishing Raveena’s on a roll
Yummy Mum
Parbina Rashid
SHE came, she took charge and she made the interactive session at Taj–17 a smooth sail. After all, she is Raveena Tandon, mast mast girl turned super mom turned jury member for 9X’s talent hunt show Chak De Bachche. And, she is taking both her present roles a tad too seriously. One, she is refraining herself from getting into a full-time career because her young one is only eight months old and second, she is game only for a children-oriented shows like Chak De…

Loveless Honour
Nadia Singh
TWO lovers in Karnal had to pay for their rosy dreams, their love and happiness with their lives. Their dreams and hopes were shattered under the feet of a cruel, merciless society for whom man-made barriers of caste, class and religion were greater than love, the greatest manifestation of the Almighty.

City girls are dressing up pretty much like cheerleaders, says
Saurabh Malik
 CHEERLEADERS may have constricted the smiles of so many onlookers by fasting up slacks under their skirts with "troubled protestors" hitting below the belt in Maharashtra and other places, but there's no stopping cheerful gals in the city from uncovering liveliness with their sets of glam outfits.
Cheery printed or pastel coloured interiors popping out of the low-rise skinny jeans; short string tops revealing more than wee bit of their flat tummies; pointed boots that attain new heights of fashion, but fail to rise up to the micro-minis — everything you thought cheerleaders once wore is still on display in the street vogue shows.

Dino Morea is seriously interested only in comedy
Purva Grover
THE Sid of Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi and his innocent love took our heart away way back in 1999. The Aditya of Raaz sent chills across the theatre. Later, a few more not-so-hit multi-starrer flicks rekindled hope for this fading star. Meet Dino Morea, model-actor, who seems to have found his calling now. Post-thrillers, action, serious and romance, Dino is now game only for comedy. “It’s going to only light flicks for me, from now,” he shared in an interview with us. Excerpts.

THEY are just voices from another continent. We have talked over the phone but often their nasal, twangy sentences are hard to comprehend. They do not enunciate words as clearly as we do.

The city’s devotion for Sufism extends beyond music into poetry, painting & research
Parbina Rashid
WE don’t have the heart to call it a trend, but on the surface, Sufism seems to be on the path of rediscovery. Singers feeling proud of their Sufi singer label, TV channels devising reality shows with Sufi components, discs echoing with Sufi rock and Sufi pop, and more.

Is Mariah on road
to mommyhood?
Mariah Carey fans shouldn't be surprised if she reveals that she and new hubby will soon be welcoming their first child into the world, for the couple has already started preparing a nursery. According to the New York Daily News, one of Carey's assistants recently called chic baby boutique Petit Tresor. A source tells the paper that the assistant asked the LA store for fabric samples, and also checked whether its designer could work on a butterfly theme for the room. Mariah's manager, Benny Medina, however insists that the singer is not pregnant at the moment. Carey wed 27-year-old Cannon on April 30, and three weeks ago told OK! magazine though she was in no hurry to start a family, having children is "part of the whole purpose of getting married."
