All
emotion, no reason
The recently passed Copyright
(Amendment) Bill might not solve the contentious issues of
intellectual property rights satisfactorily
Bobby Bedi
The
laws of India are, without doubt, truly robust, and the Indian
Copyright Act 1957 has been no exception. It has, over the years, been
amended and interpreted through new rules and rulings which largely
react to and reflect advances in technology as well as changes in our
psyche.

Know
your mate better
In the age of profiling,
where everyone seeks to succeed by categorising, why be left behind?
Join the winning league and have a happier life, knowing what drives
your spouse. While some seem simple and straightforward; others seem
to change colours every now and then. It is rightly said that women
who are understanding wives go to heaven, but those who REALLY
understand their husband attain heaven on earth! So let’s try to get
a taste of heaven. From among the six husbands that a woman could
have, find yours.
Aditi Garg

Footloose
in Pattaya
The city offers different
faces during day and night. The visitors can choose according to their
fancy
Sudhamahi Regunathan
The
city wears the veneer of being a quiet place by the day, with a tame
sea lashing on its shores and people going about their work quietly.
Tourists dot the cityscape crowding in tuk-tuks, which have a seating
capacity of 10 but carry up to 15 persons.

Sequels
have to be better than their precursors; otherwise they turn into a
big yawn, which is precisely what Movers & Shakers (SAB)
has become. In its previous avatar on Sony, it was immensely popular
because of its novelty factor. Now, it somehow lacks both in zing and
sting.
In
the name of the award
The once-coveted awards
bestowed upon actors for their outstanding contribution to cinema and
television have multiplied manifold, affecting their credibility
Shoma A. Chatterji
When
Shah Rukh Khan won his first-ever Best Actor Award from Filmfare, he
said he had brought Rs 5,000 because he felt that the award could be
