Guest appearance
Playing the perfect guest judge for MTV Hero Honda Roadies 7 auditions in the city, actor Emraan Hashmi was at his quietest best-maintaining perfect silence and with the least facial expression as the other three judges (Cyrus Broacha, Cyrus Sahukar and Nikhil Chinappa) giggled and nattered about the show. Well, that was expected out of Hashmi, don't we know he was playing the 'guest judge'. Coming to the core issue, the auditions of the show, Emraan says, "I have watched a bit of Roadies and I know this show has grabbed the nation's attention. I don't know what to expect, but this season there'll be a tinge of humour in the show and I would be playing the guest judge."
Big Fat TV Wedding
Shub Vivaah, Rakhi ka Swayamvar and now Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayange - TV's obsession with saat phere seems to be growing
Bedroom
politics got us hooked, bedroom secrets had us shocked and now, it's wedlock
that's catching our fancy. Or, let's just say, cashing in on our fancy. Our
fascination, obsession and the fixation with shaadi is no cult secret. With the
idea of perfection attached and emotions overflowing, we live only to find a
soulmate who will complete us in every respect. And boy, what a spectacle of an
event that is. And, where there is a marriage, there is moolah. Loads of it!
Date with Dandiya
Check out the one in red choli…oooh, awesome move! That tattoo looks tempting, inviting or dangerous in all sense of the word…which one's better, the one in the yellow lehenga or the one in the mirrored-duppatta?You must have guessed the topic and the subjects of discussion here. Of course, it is a usual chick-pick session at the dandiya night. The traditional nine celebratory nights of navratras have turned into the most happening social events of the year and a mecca for the single souls in search of love, if not the lifelong kinds then at least the nightlong kinds.
Relatively speaking
Reality Television coming back with a vengeance, do you think that it is cashing in on our emotions with shows based on matrimony and everything attached to it?
In good profession

Chinappa Chronicles
Judging Roadies, creating music, finding India’s ultimate rock band. What’s multitasking? Ask Nikhil Chinnapa
Meet Nikhil Chinappa—the lanky celebrated MTV VJ who amongst other three
judges was in the city enjoying his yet another stint as a judge. The hardcore
music freak talks about Roadies 7, “This is unlike any other reality show, the
graph and popularity of this show is increasing with every season. This time,
like always, we have tried to make it better with a touch of humour and the
seven deadly sins.” And will the gali galoch get better too? “It’s a way
of life, we don’t tutor the participants. In fact, the stress of performance
brings out the worst in them.”

Festive fringes
Hair stylist Jawed Habib, in town for a salon launch, gives a low down on the mane trends for the festive season
It’s astonishing what a pair of scissors can do, just two sharp knives
rubbing against each other, a snip, a cut, a clip and viola, a whole new look
emerges. Precisely why Jawed Habib, in Panchkula on Wednesday to launch his
salon, Jawed Habib’s, sounds pretty positive for his profession.
Pet THEORY
Big bonhomie
Why have people suddenly started liking Pugs as pets? Because they are less demanding and eat less, no the answer my friends is in the child like innocent face they have, so similar to the human offspring. So by rearing and keeping them one can have an experience akin to raising a child, one of the most fulfilling experiences in the life of an average human. So, what we choose as a pet is intimately intertwined with our ‘happiness factor’.

Please…
can somebody make the lexicographers devise more terminology to describe
this funny err… humourous err... witty guy. We urgently need an apt
term to define Cyrus Broacha's (non)sense of humour. Just make the word
sound heavy, diffucult to pronounce, err… we don't know how actually
it should exactly be. Alright! Let's give you an account of what
happened on Wednesday, when he was here to judge the auditions of
Roadies along with his namesake, Cyrus Sahukar.
