Personal fitness to the betterment of the people to honest deeds — this New Year brings out the best
in our politicians
Love them or hate them but you simply can’t ignore them. A cliché that has been used to death. Nevertheless, whenever it becomes pretty mandatory to use it whenever we talk about them. These are the people, who form a major chunk of our conversation. Be it a party, mourning, family gathering, board room meetings, morning or evening walk, their mention is soo… very inevitable. The politicians. And, whatever they say, do, act or react makes news. Why not, these are the people who hold the reins of our country. And so want to know what’s going in their minds, so much as we want to know what goes in their lives. Talking of New Year resolutions, don’t we want to know who has made a resolution and what? Here is a lowdown.
I wish...
The New Year is rising from the ashes of the old. As the sun sets on 2008 to shine again on 2009, let’s hope things change.
Pray to God the parents give some extra bucks to their little angels. Poor gals, they have been hopping from one party to another on the New Year Eve in scanty apparels in “brrrriiiing” cold without even pullovers — micro minis they apparently purchased some five years ago, when they were in sixth or eighth standard; and backless tops that take them to the front.
United we rock
We ask a few celebrities to come up with a resolution that will work for us all. And, this is what they have to say...
Ashima Sehajpal
We aren't asking you to break mountains, barricade floods or dig wells in deserts in the coming year. We aren't even asking you to get India rid of corruption and to assure that every Indian gets three meals a day. That's too much to ask for. All right! Be realistic and for a change, considerate as well this time. We suggest, resolve for a common purpose for 2009. Think beyond your individual resolutions, think beyond you and your myopic aims and take a pledge. We bet, you can. And just to help you decide on what can be a resolution that you can share with others, we talk to the celebrities, who give us some valuable ideas. So, join in.

I resolve to be…
The beginning of the year is the time to make new resolutions. Mona checks out what city couples are promising each other
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! For the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
No New Year resolution
No New Year's resolution for Sonali Bendre. While all other judges on music reality show Indian Idol unravelled their respective resolutions for the New Year, actor Sonali Bendre said she doesn't believe in making any resolutions at all.
Warm welcome
With another exciting Bollywood film in her kitty, South Indian actor Asin Thottumkal, who recently made her Bollywood debut with Aamir Khan-starrer Ghajini, says she has received a warm welcome by the industry.
Asin's next Hindi film is Vipul Shah's London Dreams which also stars Salman Khan and Ajay
Devgan.
"I was approached for London Dreams while I was shooting for Ghajini. I don't know how they found out about me. I have just finished a long schedule of shooting the film abroad and some of it is still left.
Sanjay uncensored
Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali says he always wanted to work with Hrithik Roshan and he's doing exactly that in his new venture that also stars his favourite actor—Aishwarya Rai. The two have already created wonders together in Dhoom-2 and Jodhaa
Akbar.
