Pritish Nandy flexes star power.

Pritish Nandy is one smart businessman. Smart enough to know that poetry has few takers in today’s literary world.
So what does he do to grab eyeballs at the release of his book of poems titled ‘Again’? Elementary, my dear Watson! He turns on the force of star power, something he’s got in plenty, courtesy his standing with filmy types.
Sample this- the eclectic panel of experts assembled to sing hosannas to Nandy’s work comprised of- ahem- Anil Dharker, Anupam Kher, Chetan Bhagat and Shashi Tharoor. At hand to lend support were Dolly Thakore, Gulzaar- the who’s who of culterati. And finally the masterstroke- none other than Aishwarya Rai to do the honours of releasing the book. That would surely succeed in making everyone sit up and take notice. So there!
Brilliant move, I tell you! Nandy had the masses clamouring to get in, if only to get a look at the host of celebrities assembled at the venue. And Nandy looked as pleased as the cat that had got the cream!!
One last question….in the melee, did anyone remember that the function was about poetry to start with? Hmm……

Memo To Blabbermouth Shashi Tharoor: How About Tweeting Less and Working More?
Filed under : Bitchiest, Shashi Tharoor
Our desi politicos sure are an interesting bunch…so interesting in fact, that when your brain gives up on you owing to generous doses of Ekta Kapoor’s signature BS, you can always flip to the ‘real news’ and then proceed to tear your hair out with frustration.
Take for example, the latest internet-savvy neta on the block – Shashi Tharoor. After stirring up a ruckus with his ‘cattle class’ tweets, the man is now back in action again, moaning and groaning about ‘too much work’ and ‘too many files’.
Dude, seriously, what on earth is your problem? If you’re so starved for controversy, why don’t you just ditch your neta hat and audition for Ekta Kapoor’s soppy soaps. I’m sure she’d be more than willing to find room for you. In the meanwhile, perhaps you could hand over your work responsibilities to someone a little more mature who will actually show us the results we’ve all been waiting for? Because honestly, we’ve just about had it with your ‘poor me’ moans and groans. Has it ever occurred to you that if you’d spend less time surfing the net and tweeting whiney comments, you would actually have the time to clear your desk?
Congress President Sonia Gandhi – are you listening?
