Naturally Punjabi
A Punjabi can't be aam aadmi; wherever he might be, he will always be khaas." Of course, the original showman of Bollywood Subhash Ghai, who proffers this pearl of wisdom, is more khaas than most Punjabis! It might have taken him decades to move to the Punjabi turf, but as he is all set to make his debut as the producer of Punjabi film Double Di Trouble, the entry can only be in inimitable Ghai style. And in the same 'no holds barred' manner, he parries a volley of questions. A lesser producer would have been a bundle of nerves a day prior to the release of his film. However, Ghai is almost unflappable, living up to the maxim what is a Punjabi sans a sense of humour! Over to the man who has given us blockbusters like Karz and Ram Lakhan, who might be on the verge of showing a new way to Punjabi film industry.

The year ahead
If your birthday is August 29...
This year, your birthday falls on Ganesh Chaturthi - a good beginning of good events from today. Your birthday on the 29th means you are swayed by suspicion. You are soft by nature, like the cool moon light glow. You show a rough exterior to others, like Moon shows its crater surface. If someone becomes hot and offensive against you, you are rattled. You try to compromise. But if someone is under you, you enslave him, terrorise, and extract work! The 29 reduces to 11, one of the master numbers, which often produces much nervous tension.
