Cool drink!
This is when you want to enjoy a tall glass of a drink that falls between the category of liquor and something of a fruit punch. This is when you want to wash your throat with a fancy looking cool drink. This is when you look at the two words on mentioned on a jazzy looking menu card--mocktails and cocktails. What started as names that would make people blush, Virgin Mary, Sex On The Beach, these summer coolers are now a separate and quite sought after identity at hotels and restaurants with special leaflets dedicated to them.
Playing a meaningful game
It was a moment of irony when the women kabaddi team was left stranded outside their hotel after the players were handed over the World Championship Trophy last November.

kabbadi. The actor who was earlier seen in Action Replayy and Punjabi flick, Ek
Noor, feels it is this project, Kabaddi Once Again that will provide the much-needed impetus to her career.
