Am sourcing houses for the interior design section of Good Housekeeping, which is to be launched in India in September 2004. This is not about the designer houses - will be showcasing warm, do-able, "real" houses, which have not been done up by designers, but by the residents themselves. Not looking for grand mansions either. Just well put together houses, that look good and show aesthetic use of space. If you know such places please do email me on anubha76@anubhacharan.com

Have you been to Bollywood Dhaba yet? It's in Colaba, just a little further down from Indigo and Busaba. Have gone there for the last two weekends in a row, and just love the kebabs and Butter Chicken. And the old movie posters and other memorabilia make for great conversation pieces if you run short of things to talk about with your dinner companion. Just wish they played more Hindi movie oldies...the music there tends to be sporadic. But the place is a definite must-visit nevertheless. And its not too expensive. A three-course dinner should cost you approximately Rs. 400 per head.

Been reading up on the "two big time industrialist brothers who can't be named, but who have fallen apart" saga with great interest. The world knows who they are but nobody is taking names because of the threat of being sued. Then there is also this whole new emerging question of whether Mohnish Bahl's father died a natural death, or whether he was murdered because of his alleged property disputes with his son and daughter-in-law?? Amisha Patel is suing her parents for misappropriating crores of Rupees from her account...makes me really relieved and happy that neither me nor my parents have the monies or properties to ever cause these kind of rifts. Both my brother and I were always told by our parents that the education we were receiving is all the legacy that we are likely to get, so its upto us to capitalise on that and make something of ourselves. And that was quite enough for us...thank you!!

Incidentally, am also hearing that one of the abovementioned cant-be-named brothers is the rich, married indsutrialist who is Sushmita Sen's newest beau, and he recently gave her the huge diaomnd ring that she is sporting nowadays. The plot thickens :)
