Birthday bash
There is something about birthdays that brings child like excitement and spring in the feet. There is something about birthdays that we begin dropping signals about the gift we expect. We bet you must have come across people who start preparing for the D day months in advance as if they were about to reveal a second Halley’s comet to people.
Click to stardom
By now we know, star kids have a fairly easy walk in the world of movie making. Whether it is Bollywood or any other genre they don't have to worry about the thunderous launch. But if it was so easy Amita Pathak, the leading lady of Bitto Boss from Anandpur Sahib, Punjab would have done at least seven-eight films in a year. Being producer Kumar Mangat's daughter working in Bollywood would have been no big deal. "People think that owning a production house makes everything easy for me. I don't deny that my father has been a great support, at the same time I still have to work hard to be accepted in the industry," says Amita who plays a modern day girl in the movie Bitto Boss. She plays a Punjabi girl in the movie. "I am from Punjab so playing my character wasn't difficult."

Of travels and fables
Four years of endeavour and in between countless doubts would crop up, “Who’s going to read my autobiography, who’s going to be interested in my life history? After all, I’m not a celebrity.” However, that wasn’t reason enough not to go ahead share life’s little memories and turn them into a memoir. So much for the story behind Neena Sahai’s debut book Journeys Diplomatic and Artistic.
