Actor Shahid Kapoor was in the city for promotion of his upcoming release Kaminey
The ‘f’ word is suddenly a blast. The ‘f’ word is legal. The ‘f’ word is the new ‘s’. And does Fahid Kapoor mind! He lisps, he means to say ‘s’ and ends up saying ‘f’ and is adding yet another word to our options—
Kaminey.Shahid Kapoor, surprising the city with a visit on Saturday, smiles, throwing a devil’s tinge into it, and admits: “Well, I am one of the Kaminey right now.I am living Kaminey day in and out, which makes me one. Infact, Kaminey mein sab kaminey hain”. And that draws many smiles out of this audience at Mountview.But we still can’t get over the title of this latest Vishal Bhardwaj film, he is here to promote and which is set for the August 14 release.
Direct dil se…
 Vishal Bhardwaj as a director: A dangerous guy. He is known to give actors roles, which probably they have never tried in their lives. He does everything on his own, direction, scripting and songs. I am thankful he left the dancing for me in
Dhan-Te-tan.
Shahid as an actor or
dancer: Shahid, the actor
A role from Vishal’s movies he would want to
do: Main papa ka Maqbool ka character barbaad kardunga. I would want to play Irrfan’s character.

There is no mantra or formula for it and it is boring to hear success stories," said

 Katrina, Lara turn down Govinda's offer
Bollywood's leading ladies Katrina Kaif and Lara Dutta turned down veteran actor Govinda's request to star opposite him in a small cameo in the upcoming film Life Partner.The actor is in a state of shock. He had taken the onus of convincing a prominent leading lady to pair up with him for a special cameo. He had hoped his tinsel town friends Lara and Katrina would agree to play this small but significant part, sources close to the film said."But when he approached them, they cited date problems. A small role coupled with the actor's flagging fortunes as a star might not have excited the B-town girls," they said.

The interior fashion trend this season spells a riot of
colour
Block colours were all over the catwalk for spring and summer 2009 interiors, and it was fashionistas who took notice of the trend.So it's goodbye to fussy, floral patterns and hello to bright confident, sometimes clashing, blocks of

I know we are trying hard to get rid of plastic pollution and Chandigarh has successfully managed to hold onto the polybag ban. However, Chandigarh traders have some unique ways of cheating on the government and the policies. On a recent trip to a new and fancy supermarket, I was surprised to find that they handed me my goods in a plastic bag. On my way out, I asked the attendant. He pointed out that technically it was not a carry bag, since it lacked carry handles or the holes. It was a packaging bag. Cheating ingenuity is ubiquitous.I was baffled on my very first visit to a shop selling electrical goods in
Chandigarh. They asked me if I wanted to get a pukka bill or a kuccha bill. I was unaware of this diversity. It is a common practice here not to issue a 'Real' receipt although they take your real money and if you insist on one, the shopkeepers make a face and wonder about your stupidity. And the big shops play the same game as well.
