Notice ke liye aur bhi kuch karega
TV actor Mona Singh, who was in the city for a dental programme, had quite a brush with the moral police
She came, she saw and she couldn’t conquer! What else could Mona Singh do when the self-professed religion protectors stalked her. Alright, the list of people waiting for her was quite long, children from NGO Ruchi were there and, of course, her fans and scribes, but the ones most eager to see Mona were those who were really ‘pained’ to see do a Sita-Ravana act with Bhajji. And they met (though we failed) and handed over the summons to her on the road itself (wow, here comes a novel way of issuing court summons!)
The hassled TV celebrity went away just after getting a few pictures clicked with underprivileged kids, who were there for a free dental check-up, a programme conducted by Colgate in the city on Wednesday.

Lost childhood
Many childhood games seem to have been lost in the din of television and Internet
Remember the days when chuttiyan would bring loads of masti, lazy mornings, planning mischief and indulging ourselves in all sorts of games like stapu, skipping rope, ludo, playing with marbles, chhupan chhupai and many more? Days ahead, the brainstorming and planning for a quality holiday would leave us exhausted and our parents on the brink of taking up the stick and play the spoil sport.

Take a chance
I am a 27-year-old guy, working in a private firm. I am attracted to this girl, who works in the same office as me. I feel that she is also attracted to me but neither of us wants to make the first move. But I also have some unsure feelings that if she rebuffs me where will I stand. I think it will become difficult for me to face her in the office everyday if that happens. I seem to be suffering form this dilemma everyday. My work has started suffering due to this, I feel office is beginning to get stressful because of this situation. Please advise me what to do.
