Get Your Procrastination Treated!

Written by Kamna on June 21st, 2007

Which one of us can claim to have never procrastinated? Let me tell you. None. Even while reading this article, you’re procrastinating on something — doing the dishes, writing that essay on your thoughts of Shakespeare, taking out the trash, listening to that new CD, eating, or even sleeping. Contrary to popular belief however, there’s [...]

The Big, Wet Fish – Shilpa’s Birthday Bashed to Pieces

Written by Kamna on June 10th, 2007

Despite all the hype and publicity Shilpa has received in the international circle recently, it seems she still has a ways to go within her own industry.

Fashion Stars and Flunkers

Written by Kamna on May 29th, 2007

Shimmering like none other, Minissha makes quite an impression with this dress! The elegant hairstyle perfectly complements the sophisticated dress and long earrings although one wishes she would have gone slightly subtler with the sparkles on the skirt of her dress. The crochet-style top is marvelous! 8.5/10 Is this really our style icon Malaika Arora? [...]

Scrabble that! – Kangna Ranaut is the correct spelling!

Written by Kamna on May 29th, 2007

Take a bite of this! The spelling of Kangna Ranaut’s name was never Kangana. When she debuted the media just assumed the spelling of her name would be conventional. Since we know the actress is anything but conventional, why should her name be any different? Our source, who had the privilege of meeting the lovely [...]

Written by Kamna on May 27th, 2007

Remember Wyclef Jean (perhaps from Shakira’s superhit “Hips Don’t Lie”)? Now replace the sexy Shakira by the talented Lata. Odd picture? Heck yes! However, it might just have some truth behind it.

Written by Kamna on May 21st, 2007

Cheeni Kum

Written by Kamna on May 14th, 2007

Cheeni Kum, just like its title, lacks the frills of addictive beats and a fast-paced tempo that seems to dominate the music industry nowadays. Rather, it relies on the sweet melodious sounds of the notes and the voices of the singers to captivate its audience. Maestro Ilaiyaraaja teams up with the commercial and usually conventional [...]

Since when is ‘Indian’ an Insult?

Written by Kamna on April 6th, 2007

In the February 2007 issue, as Vidya Balan’s weakness, Filmfare listed “Her Indian appeal.” However, that isn’t the only incident that has hinted at the word “Indian” having negative connotations. Lately, “Indian” is looked down upon — it’s almost a derogatory term. Continuing with the Vidya example, she is an Indian actress, working in the [...]

Namastey London

Written by Kamna on April 2nd, 2007

When you hear it’s a Himesh album, your first reaction is to go no further. On top of that, if you also happen to know that there are 11 remixes and ‘mehfil’ mixes of the original seven tracks, all you want to do is just groan. However, to counter that, there is the little fact [...]
