It has been pouring all weekend in Bombay. Some stayed in, cuddled up with
steaming coffee in front of their TVs and watched the Anna drama unfold in
Delhi. Some braved the rains, downed a couple of shots and hit the dance floor.
Some like me (lucky,lucky me) got to watch Gulzar Saab up-close at Prithvi as he
recited some of his old and new poems.

GulzarI am trying to reproduce a short couplet that he recited (doing so from
memory so pardon the inaccuracies):

Designer Jaspreet Gulati Comes To Bombay - MissMalini

Last night Delhi-based designer Jaspreet Gulati showcased his Autumn Winter
Collection at  the quaint, delightful Juhu boutique Hauz Khas.

The collection was very high octane glamour with mostly Indo-Western fusion
pieces. The highlight of the collection (and one which the designer proudly
showed me) was a one-piece saree. So now if you want to wear a saree without
going through the hassles of draping, you know where to head. He fondly talked
of having dressed Neha Dhupia and many Miss India co

Out of the BlueBandra’s popular eating joint, Out Of The Blue opened its Powai outlet last
night and Dhruvi and me were part of the opening night guest list. Unlike the
Bandra outlet which has the charming courtyard, this one is situated on the
first floor of the Haiko Mall in the swanky Hiranandani Gardens of Powai (call
it a personal quirk but I don’t like malls as locations for
restaurants/pubs….but then again in Bombay space is always in short supply.)

Actor-Directors Par Excellence - MissMalini

So finally watched Into The Wild last evening (I know, I know – it’s crazy how I
 never watched it all this while even after reading all about it and listening
to the soundtrack infinite times) and I will say what has been said many a times
about it – it’s effing brilliant!



The movie does things to you – like it kept me awake for most of the night and I
am up at 5.30 writing this post. Amongst many other things it got me thinking
about Sean Penn – such assured direction from him. This trend o

for this movie for-ever now. Anurag Kashyap‘s directorial venture after Dev D (
Gulaal though released later was filmed earlier). And I finally saw the trailer
yesterday.



In usual Anurag Kashyap style the montages are dark, disturbing, shot in
stylized lights and uber-sexy. It has an impressive star cast of Kalki Koechlin,
Naseeruddin Shah, Piyush Mishra and Divya Jagdal. It is the story of Ruth

So when was the last time you went to a quiet book store, sipped on some good
coffee and whiled away  time leafing through your favourite authors? Do you
 feel something  lacking in the sprawling book stores in the malls with their
accessories,gadgets and DVDs sections along side the book racks?

Basically what I am trying to say that is if you miss the old world bookstores
where you can spend hours tucked in a corner and take a break from your

the owners Pooja Kejriwal told me that they also have a special men’s gifts

time last afternoon and decided to watch a bad, stupid movie (yes that’s how I

is on purpose) much worse than I had thought. But that is not what we discuss in
this post. The movie got me thinking as to how is it working professionally with
ex-es (Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake dated for 4 years before parting ways
in 2007.) I mean a
