2 DELHI IS TALKING ABOUT DELHI TIMES, THE TIMES OF INDIA MONDAY 23 JUNE 2003 SMS joke of the day Woman complaining to dentist: ‘‘It is so painful. I’d rather get pregnant than have a tooth filled!’’ Dentist: ‘‘Decide now, so I can adjust the chair accordingly.’’

Yuvraj Singh and Mandi- ra Bedi? Hearing that the two have been making quite a cosy twosome, Mama Singh has report- edly been very worried — but has started spreading the word that her ladla will get mar- ried to only the kudi she chooses and not to any- one else.... FACT OF THE MATTER All the chemicals in the human body have a com- bined value of approximately 4.00 pounds (6.25 Euro)

Man posts T-shirt 4,500 miles home for mum to wash A Hampshire man has posted his favourite T- shirt 4,500 miles home for his mum to wash. Matthew Hughes, pos- ted the cream T-shirt from Ketchikan, Ala- ska, home to Fareham because cola stains would not wash out. His mother, said it was the first thing he had sent her since

leaving to work as a croupier on a cruise ship five months ago. She told, ‘‘When the postman brought this parcel round I was so proud my lad hadn’t forgotten his mum. But when I opened it, his favourite T-shirt dropped out. At first I was totally baffled to why he had sent this smelly rag to me —th- en it clicked. He expe- cted me to wash it and send it back again! I suppose I did what every other mother would do.’’ She plans to make him wait until his ship docks in Van- couver,Canada, before posting it back. Chilean actually bites the bullet A Chilean man who tried to commit sui- cide by shooting him- self, drove to hospital after he failed in his attempt. The 41-year- old put the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger but the bullet went straight through the back of his throat. He drove to the hos- pital in the city of Val- divia and checked himself into the casu- alty department. A po- lice spokesman said, ‘‘He was very embar- rassed because he had to drive here and ask to be treated after try- ing to end his life.’’ Toe-wrestling title for Brits British contenders ha- ve fought off interna- tional challengers to be crowned World Toe- Wrestling Champions. Around 100 entrants took part in the event, in which opponents at- tempt to force down each others feet in a best-of-three ‘toe-do- wn.’ The event was dr- eamed up in the 1970s by the then landlord of Ye Olde Royal Oak Inn, in Staffordshire, where the championship was contested. Natalie Cartwright, of Nantwich, Cheshire, took the women’s title and Paul Beech, of Bu- rton on Trent, Staffs won the men’s compe- tition.

Many are not delaying mak- ing that toothsome purchase during their European sojou- rns. The dynamics of shopping — the thrill of a purchase, the mood elevation, the spank of newness — is taking place here and now and at prices determ- ined by these luxe sellers. What could this possibly mean for the Indian design fraternity? Well, at Hugo Boss, a man’s suit can cost Rs 29,000, which is not a lot for a partially bespoke suit manufactured in Europe, and in the latest possible designs. The fabric is a thrill, the con- struction of the suit superb, and while Hugo Boss may not have the sheen of a Brioni or even a Ralph Lauren Purple Label ($ 3,000) suit, at this price many guys will pluck it off the shelf, destroy the credit card and look very smart indeed. For a few thousand rupees less, it might mean buying some- thing bony,pokey and ill-fitting by a big Indian name. It could also possibly mean several fit- tings, tantrums in front of tai- lors and the appropriation of an item of clothing suitable only for a Western style funer- al. Not to forget the accompa-

8 BACK BEAT DELHI TIMES, THE TIMES OF INDIA MONDAY 23 JUNE 2003 Lara & Priyanka: Reel chemistry riyanka Chopra mouths pretty platitudes Pabout Lara Dutta. But insiders say Lara doesn’t feel exactly the same way about Ms Chopra. Those close to Lara insist the former Miss Uni- verse confessed that she was completely insecure all through the making of An- daaz. Kyun? ‘Coz Priyanka was extra friendly with every- one from the director Raj Kanwar to the actor Akshay Kumar with her inherent charm. While Lara herself chose to stay reserved. Lara told friends that she was wor- ried she’d be sidelined in the movie or its publicity, as a result she’s relieved that she got her share of praise from the trade and public. ‘‘Ultimately, it’s only talent that counts,’’ is what a triumphant Lara is said to be de- claring.

This hit is Child’s play! Dreams Production’s Jajantaram Mamantaram which starred iJaved Jaafri and Gulshan Grover has created a new record in the children’s film category by making a whooping a Rs 5 crore in its first week’s release. It further went on to create a new record at the box-office. The film is currently run- ning to packed houses, and based on its performance, the producers expect that J2M2 will make about 10 crores at the box-office by the end of the week. Deepa’s big project eepa Mehta will be ma- Dking a very special an- nouncement about a very big project that she would be di- recting in Hindi for one of the biggest and most professional production houses. ‘‘I’ve never done Bengali literature before. Dammit, I haven’t even made a film in Mumbai. I’m quite ex- cited about directing some of

the best talent in Hindi films,’’ says Deepa who goes location hunting for her next assign- ment featuring Kareena Kap- oor in the central role in Sri Lanka before doing this haunt- ing love triangle about a tor- mented wife, her negligent husband and the impish girl next door, done earlier by one of India’s greatest filmmakers. Home’s where Babo’s heart is areena Kapoor is all set Kfor her next release in the form of Suraj Barjatya’s Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon. The actress hopes to pump up her success ratio with this one. However, question her on go- ing the Hollywood way,and Ka-

rina is quick to say, ‘‘When we have filmmakers such as the Barjatyas and Bhansalis in Bollywood, what’s the need for Hollywood?’’ Well, so much for trusting your own soil and the talent within it. Anxious about all the big banners in her kitty, Kareena is presently keeping her fingers crossed for her soon-to-be-released film Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon.
