Weird queries and wild requests…radio jockeys have to deal with them all
They are perceived to speed talk, spread street-smart wisdom, clamour a lot, speak all the time, still say nothing at all, and yet make you feel good! In between give some information, throw a couple of news, bit of knowledge. Radio; the only place where people make requests like ‘this is for Tina, I’m sorry I thrashed you.’ Better still “this is dedicated to the girl in the park I used to play with 15 years ago.”

Masters of spices
 Eraldo Colazzo and
Naushad, chefs at Kava-26, offer lesser-known dishes from different parts of the
world
It is far easier. Scout the menu, place an order and also insist on it being served 'fast'. Now this is where the real story begins. The story where comes in the master chef and his bag pack of spices, skills and techniques. Chef Eraldo Colazzo, executive chef of the newly-opened Kava sector-26 smiles at the mention of gunny bag that chefs carry. "The bag is like a world of gourmet delight and I can pull out surprises as many times as I open it," he says. Having travelled to the length and breadth of the country, 16 cities in total, Eraldo has laid the delectable platter for Chandigarh. "The city has grown as a food industry by leaps and bounds. The eating out culture is all-pervasive. The good thing about this city is that people are not stuck up on the menu, they love to experiment," he says.
Eraldo Colazzo has served dignitaries at prominent positions. A few being Nelson Mandela, Bill Gates, Silvio Berlusconi, Lady Diana and Oscar winning Italian actress Sofia Loren.

Work-wise

Asked if he has been offered any film, he said: "Nothing has been offered to me. I don't think people in the right senses would offer me a romantic movie with Bebo (Kareena's pet name). But yes, if there's a movie on cousins, I would love to act with her." In the past, Kareena too has shown keen interest in working with
Ranbir.
