I cannot believe this boy is capable of such hideousness.
How did we get here? What is this world?
His face doesn’t leave my mind :(
I am stunned that the boy-terror Azam Amir Kasav (above) is still alive.
On the night of Wednesday-Thursday Azam and his colleague opened fire at CST before creating havoc at Metro and [...]

Today I can’t bring myself to wax eloquent about the “who’s who” and “wear’s what” of Mumbai glitterati.
Today I need to tell you like it is.
What started out as an average Wednesday in Mumbai (laced with just enough excitement for an evening of disco salsa with new friends) quickly spiralled into a night of total [...]

Have you seen Fashion? Well you know the funny guy who plays Priyanka Chopra’s gay best friend (he’s growing up to be the next Boman Irani in my opinion) got married last week over a heady mix of celebrations. Apart from having absolutely brilliant comic timing Ashwin Mushran is also quite the salsa star, so [...]

So it’s (almost) official. Saif Ali Khan is off the market. I’d never have pegged him the mushy type but boy is he head over heels in love with Kareena Kapoor! (I guess a little heart attack is all you need to put things in perspective sometimes.) Apparently Saif is a changed man, he doesn’t [...]

Oh look, another remix album with a porky item girl. How refreshing. ‘Boom Boom’ (featuring remix versions of Nazia Hassan’s album) subjects us to several minutes of grinding by South Indian actress Aish Ansari. I love that the PR mailer I got said, “Her sexy gyrations numbed not only crew but visiting guest, Indian Cricket [...]

It just occurred to me that many of the most memorable (and not to mention true-blue) Bollywood heroes of our “time” have had the unique distinction of being called “Rahul.” Be it Bollywood’s favorite stage name or one they happen to have been born with; we’re now in an age where a guy called Rahul [...]

Big Boss Breakout: Rahul, Raja, Zulfi & Ashu (try to) sneak out!
[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.747089&w=450&h=350&fv=]
Ok I admit it. I’m addicted to Big Boss. Not that any of the “inmates” are particularly charming or anything but its one of those voyeuristic delights that just keeps you coming back for more. (Besides with the small screen actors & technicians strike well [...]

So guess what? Our very own Alanis-meets-Sheryl Crow rocker-chick Shibani Kashyap’s been up to? She’s joined hands with an ecclectic mix of musicians (five to be precise – three guitar playeres cum vocalists, one bass player and a drummer) and set off on a musical escapade that sounds quite promising.
