Some others go sour after the wedding vows. Sangeeta Manocha helps you find out what went wrong ter marriage tears off the mask, revealing the true per- son. The mate is in love with the mask, and hence feels cheated. Practical busy-ness: Most couples are at the forma- tive stage of their careers at this age. If one gets a bit too engrossed in work, the other at times feels lonely and desolate, and feelings of neglect start creeping in. If not nipped in the bud, these feelings might slowly gnaw at the roots of a happy marriage. The adjustability factor: Marriage means adjust- ment. Most of the young people today do not want to share or adjust, or perhaps have not learnt to do so. With just one or no sibling, the young grow up being the centre of their parents attention, getting their way by hook or by crook. They are so much used to having their own way that it gets difficult for them to think of an- other, or having to change for another. Responsibility: The young tend to see things with ro- mantic eyes. They view marriage as a party, a honey- moon, a bed of roses. When the burdens of responsibil- ity suddenly show up, they get scared. Very often one of the partners wants life to continue as carefree as it was before marriage, expecting the partner to shoulder the LOVE AT THE DESK t’s another day at work: Your chair, the position of I the note pad on your desk, even the hairpins in the receptionist’s hairdo look exactly as they did yesterday.

And then, your life sort of changes: The outrageous hunk from Marketing makes eye contact and a flirta- tious comment, and missed heartbeats later, you’re floored. Soon, you’re seeing each other exclusively. An office romance has its pros and cons. The good part is that those dreary work hours transmute into an exhilarating prospect to wake up to in the morning. An office ro- mance is the ozone that can re- suscitate cube-life claustropho- bia. Alternately, a seemingly in- significant faux pas could cause a lot of heartache. The wise may advise against office romances, but so what? You never know when the sweet- heart syndrome strikes. Besides, when it does strike, you can nev- er be totally impervious to the spark of chemistry between two people. Your love life is chock-full of episodes that you feel like talk- ing about. So, there’s no harm in regaling your colleague with

some teensy-weensy snippets, right? Wrong. Tempting as it may be to talk about your love life, remember it’s better to keep your lips locked. If you start talking, both of you automatically come under the microscope. It doesn’t matter whether your sweetheart is a peer or a superior. There’s still a chance that a disgruntled co- worker may complain that yo- u’re playing favourites. And the trouble could intensify if your sweetie is your boss: Then the accusation could even become an assumption. Look at it this way: Keeping shut will definitely save you a lot of embarrassment in case the two of you don’t make it to the wedding altar. It’s possible that many people aren’t aware of yo- ur romance and it’s best to keep it that way. It’s also okay if your romance doesn’t remain a secret; but it’s not okay if your love lore is broadcastable blather.

Ajay Devgan in vardi again fter Gangaajal and AZameen (in which he played an army-man), Ajay Devgan is all set to play Policeman-Police- man, in a film titled Sipahi. The movie also stars Akshay Kumar and Jaya Prada. Well, we look forward to yet another seemingly ac- tion-packed flick. After a series of successes, Ajay has become the most sought-after actor in the industry, and rightly so, we think, after observ- ing the steep incline in his career graph.

Nandita’s Ek Din he clock stopped Tticking, time ran out and world came to a halt for the late Anant Balani, whose films Joggers’s Park and Mumbai Matinee are still being scre- ened at theatres. But time ticks on and the show goes on, too, as the third film directed by him — Ek Din - 24 Ghante — readies for an October release. Produced by Concept Productions, the film stars Nandita Das in a lead role. At a party to celebrate the movie’s first print, the entire team of Ek Din observed silence for 30 seconds in memory of their director. As the clock keeps ticking for Nandita Das, we hope this time her film turns out to be suc- cessful.

Shekhar lends a helping hand irector Sudhir DMishra is get- ting a lot of backing these days. He was the chosen one to take over the reins of Chameli after Anant Balani passed away. And now, none other than Shekhar Ka- pur is willing to fi- nance a film which will be directed by Mishra. The film will star Anil Kap- oor and some for- eign actors. Looks like SM has bagged a big one this time.
