Indian born artist- Anish Kapoor is the star who has been commissioned to make the ‘monument ‘ for the London Olympics.
The structure will officially be called the ArcelorMittal Orbit, after steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, the richest man in Europe, who is funding it.
So India is singing her songs at the Olympics this time! (what if the tune does not include medals yet!)
London got tusked!
The Elephant Parade walked in to LONDON!
Elephant Parade is a ‘parade’ of copyrighted, life-size model baby elephants which are being displayed in major cities around the world. Painted by local and international artists, each elephant is a unique piece of art.
It is Elephant Parade’s mission to become world’s largest financial support organization for elephants. At the same time Elephant Parade events attract worldwide attention as well as much needed public awareness and support for the cause of elephant preservation: Elephant Parade elephants will not go unnoticed by the wider public!
The elephants created for Elephant Parade events are auctioned by professional auctioneers in each city where an event takes place. Each elephant is a unique piece of art and will not be produced ever again as a full-size baby elephant. A substantial part of the auction proceeds are used to fund Elephant Family.

Something very intersting has popped up.
A new airline dedicated to Pet Transport.
This is doggy style hitting mile high!

There are some models who go beyond the being hangers- to become role models.
One of the biggest examples is Cristy Turlington …who is not just a brand ambassador but working on the cause of mother’s death during child birth.
kudos!
OK…GOOGLE has the most kick ass office, BUT WHAT DO THEY DO IN THAT OFFICE?
All they have is search engines- they have the link ups set…then why the cool office?
Well…there are some directors who should be in front of the camera…their charm, charisma and wit will make them interesting eye candy!
the master of wit!
Homi adajania- the bawa tawaaa
Rohan Sippy- the sip of fresh air!
Nagesh Kukunoor- He realized it early..and gave us the ROCK-FORD!
Farhan Akhtar- He realized it at some point..and gave us real candy!
Guy Ritchie..the quentessential guy!
Kabir Khan- he should be the King of the Khan League!
The multiplexes are back to fleecing people of their hard earned money, and Bollywood’s out to support, with big stars, expensive costumes, phoren locations, and many many songs!
The box office battle will have lovers Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan fighting it out with Kambakkht Ishk and Love Aaj Kal.
KAMBAKKT ISKH:
One must notice the extra ‘K’ in the name. The story is of a super model, so Kareena gets to juice her super slender figure and gets costume designer Akki Narula to bring in some million and a half pairs of shoes to add the glam touch (this is when I wish I could switch roles, or be her best friend!). And the other half is Akshay Kumar, as a stunt man, so doing what he does best, scaring people with fake suicide attempts!
Basically they FALL IN LOVE!- ishk happens and popcorn must be paid for!
LOVE AAJ KAL:
Firstly, the promos make it look like ‘Jab We Met’, the previous venture by Imtiaz Ali, with Saif’s current girlfriend. Don’t know if was Saif’s Kareena hangover, or Imtiaz’s lack of perspective. Anyways, the protagonists in this movie FALL IN LOVE. Song and dance happens, some running around trees and some running from people…but yah, all about loving, caring and sharing!
NEW YORK:
Kabir Khan is no love hitch-hiker. He has made a movie about Indians living in New York Post 9/11. A ‘more’ movie, where there seems to be a fun element, with a serious touch to it as well!
So we have enough to chill in the multiplexes with eh?
The quintessential footwear for the last monsoon season in Bombay was the BATA jelly bellies for almost all women hitting the road.
http://www.bata.in/catdetail.php?&catItem=2&selId=&action=&techId=&brandId=&size=&price=&art_number=&a_page=14&tipslist=
They were comfortable, pretty looking, and to tough for the Mumbai Monsoons to wreck! You had some half a million (read four to five) colours in them and they were priced at INR 300. A perfect option for all the ladies who couldn’t do beyond letch at the Stella McCartney Gumboots! Or the ones who just bought them for the comfort!
But how many of us knew where this magic design came from?
Well, some surfing on the internet, some help from our friend in need-VOGUE and lots of time on hand led me to Gisele Bundchen’s shoe brand IPANEMA flip flops.
She has the same shoe with some cooler versions as well.

Well I guess we should be happy that we’re making super cool and cheap fakes, and upping the general style quotient of this country!
One wouldn’t expect CHINA to lack sex ed….especially with the amount of sex they must be having to garner the population they have!
But the government believes otherwise.
Thus they have spruced up a theme park in south city Chongquing, where people can take visual lessons from the statuettes and other games availible. I wonder if porn is a part of the library!
This is inspired from South Korea’s Theme Sex Park in Jeju. So is this a game of we want to have it all?!?!
Also, the Chinese government is offering sex ed on the plate. The city of Shenzhen houses the Sex Cafe, where along with coffee, you can sip on some sex advice, free condoms and even sexual counseling!
The actual park in China
I have no clue where the Chinese population is heading! I guess they are looking for bigger numbers here as well!
The Sex Park in South Korea
Anoop Desai an Indian American from North Carolina is in the final 8 of American Idol but will he eventually claim the title?? America is an immigrant nation yet biased towards the caucasian race. And to support its theory of diversity you’d see an African American even it out. But other races are either completely neglected or given the token slot. American Idol in its entire history of 8 season has only had 2 Indian in the last round of the competition. Sanjaya Malakar in Season 6 and now Anoop Desai in Season 8. The fact that there is only one Indian in competition is indication enough that America is less likely to vote someone of Indian origin as the new America Idol. Even then we hope that Anoop Desai does the unthinkable.
The other contestants in the Top 8 are Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, Danny Gokey, Kris Allen, Lil Rounds, Matt Giraud, Scott Macintyre
