Early last year and late in 2009, tech fiends were debating the best product to come out in the first decade of the new millenium. My answer was decisive: TiVo. Not just the DVR in general, I mean, specifically, TiVo. I love TiVo. Tech friends, always quick to correct technical errors, would point out that TiVo actually appeared in 1999, but they did not have to tell me that. I owned one in 1999. I might have been TiVo’s best customer of all time. But this month I shut off my TiVo service and switched to something different. I did not cut off TiVo because of incompatibility problems, though those do exist. I have eschewed satellite television and IPTV solutions like AT&T U-Verse because they are incompatible with TiVo. I suffered cable service, and I was using cable cards before the cable company installers themselves even knew how to use them. I recently moved to a new apartment, where I had a choice between Time Warner Cable and AT&T U-Verse. After 3 weeks of meditating on

So for all these years the rest of the world thought and believed in the saying 'Diamonds are a girl's best friend'. So if that's the case, Minissha Lamba would be really upset with her long lasting friend/s. It's less than 48 hours and Minissha Lamba is still fried - bheja fried for what people and the media have blown out of proportion. Even the latest Amul hoardings have taken her case, but before that it was the twittersphere that went berserk on her detention news. While some called her irresponsible, others seemed to be worried and concerned; some blamed her for false advertising while the others wanted to know the truth. Our very own Shobha De too voiced her opinion which the actress didn't take it that well. And in between all these things, a journalist like me could only pick up the phone, call Lamba and do an exclusive 'no holds barred' interview. The customs definitely must've followed the Veni, Vidi, Vici path. Don't

Amul butter's latest print campaign is probably their fastest take till date on a current happening. The brand this time capitalized on Minissha Lamba 's customs fiasco. The story was, as we know by now, about Minissha getting detained at the airport for undisclosed jewellery that she was carrying. Amul, on the other hand, has quickly used the scenario and made a tongue in the cheek billboard ad out of it which goes, 'Lamba wait at airport! Amul Daily Custom'. Interestingly, Minissha herself tweeted the image saying, "This is hilarious!!" Quite a sporty girl, isn't she?

The year was 1995 and Bollywood saw the rise of a new actress with the film Rangeela . Though she had a small part in the film, she made her mark. Later venturing into television and eventually returning to the big screen with Satya where her performance was critically acclaimed, Shefali Shah surely carved a niche for herself in the industry. Shefali is all set with her latest film Kucch Luv Jaisaa , which stars her in lead alongwith Rahul Bose. The film directed by Barnali Shukla tells the story of a housewife who longs for her fair share of affection. We got in touch with Shefali and she spoke about the film and more... "Kucch Luv Jaisaa is a story of two strangers" Kucch Luv Jaisaa is a film on which we had a lot of fun; the thing was that the entire crew was a really close bunch but the biggest helper was that we all shared the same sensibility so working was a blast as we all knew what we had to do. This actually helped us to finish the shoot very
