A new twist to an old story
Rewind to the 1962 classic Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam—the victimised wife takes to drinking to provide company to her adulterous husband. Now, to the 2011 adaptation of the classic, Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster—the wife is no more a victim. She is aggressive, ambitious, has a streak of madness, and is capable of cheating on her husband.
Same rules apply to both sexes. So, on the one hand Sahib (Jimmy Shergill) goes around with other women, considering it as his birthright, on the other hand, Biwi
(Mahie Gill) pledges to avenge betrayal, even better, uses a naïve gangster (Randeep
Hooda), who falls madly in love with her.
Tough call: Mahie Gill

WANDERFUL!
Attila Bodo is a man on a mission. On the road, with not much in his pockets, this 32-year old from Transylvania (formerly Hungary) is on a world tour promoting a cause close to his heart - world peace.
In Chandigarh, as part of his journey, (he has already covered the length and breadth of the country and also neighbouring Nepal), Attila talks about his
endeavour. Highway is home for this wanderer who studied engineering and marketing but didn't complete it for he found it difficult to stay at one place. It wasn't easy for his family to accept his unconventional choice. "Since they loved me so much they let me follow my wish," says Attila.

Moving on to comedy
In the ideal world, a civil servant will probably write about his toils, tribulations and the challenges of being in a government set-up. Whosoever said we were living in a perfect world must have been long dead by now. Taking his humorous writings to another level, Vivek Atray has penned down a light-hearted book, Move on Bunny.

For name’s Sake
Little Miss Bo-Peep… no she didn't lose her sheep, she's calling her dog! When it's all about 'puppy love' even Miss Bo-peep, can be the name. If that sounds sheepish, how about calling your pet Squishy?
The logic is that you want to squish your dog, every time it looks at you? Well, how much of thought goes into naming the pet may totally depend on individuals, but almost every dog has its anecdote!
