After being in news with Hrithik Roshan, Barbara Mori is all set to conquer the Hindi film industry with the “Baadshah” of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan. She was introduced to Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan by the Roshans and was floored by their hospitality. In fact, she wishes to work with SRK as the lead actor in future. This Mexican beauty doesn’t consider herself much of a dancer. In fact, a Bollywood style dance sequence was shot with Barbara but was later deleted as it didn’t turn out well. And we thought all Latinos moved like a dream!

thirdly, to fast during Ramzan (if health permits); fourthly, to give Zakaat (donating five per cent of one’s savings) and lastly, to carry out a compulsory pilgrimage to Mecca called Hajj. While Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis believe in going for Hajj only when one has fulfilled all his responsibilities in life, the fact is that if one’s health permits and one has sufficient money, one can undertake the journey as many times. It is a personal wish.
Iraq, and high-pitched threats from the Bush administration toward Iran and Syria, people long for happier narratives about Muslims. In addition, this story helps both large institutions, ranging from the World Economic Forum to Georgetown University, and small grass-roots organisations that focus on the benign and irrelevant exercise of “interfaith dialogue” raise millions of dollars from US foundations and governments in the Persian Gulf. The Saudi royal family, for instance, has a great interest in down-playing the divide between Muslim and Western societies. But simply pretending these differences do not exist is a stumbling block to what should be Western governments’ efforts to engage those Muslims who matter. Merely embracing Muslims who are already converted to a Western school of thought, while shunning and alienating those who have influence over the very extremists who challenge the West’s vision of the world is not only misguided; it is in fact very dangerous. By avoiding the fact that there are profound differences between Muslims in the East and non-Muslims in the West, we are hindering solutions that could prevent the next terror attack in London, Madrid, or Washington.

As economic development percolates wealth into the Indian economic hierarchy, people now have access to the best of motoring experiences. The somewhat fresher economic outlook has coaxed the government to replace the erstwhile underwhelming driving experience with faster and safer roads, and supporting infrastructure. What better way to do this than to allow private-public partnerships and to smoothen the process by removing red herrings. This is directly inline with the ambitious AMP (Automotive Mission Plan), an actuating vehicle which by 2016 will allow the automobile industry to contribute nearly 10% to India’s GDP and play on a mind numbing turnover of $165 billion. According to Dillip Chenoy, Director General, SIAM, “Earlier the government thought that the AMP was a bit conservative. However, as far as the target is concerned, it is well on track and I think the 10% (as part of the GDP) mark is achievable.” This not only means goodies for the Indian consumer but for the manufacturers as well, lined up with big ticket investments.
o steal a look at the share prices of the top companies – even the Japanese thunderbirds – to understand that something is deeply and structurally wrong. From December 31, 2006, to August 21, 2008, the share price of Ford has fallen from $7.51 to $4.61. GM: $30.7 to $10.16. Even Toyota has plunged from $108.9 to $88.19.

entrepreneurs of post-Independence India and nurtures the powerful corporate legacy of the Godrej family. He is very optimistic about India’s future. And yet, when B&E asks Adi Godrej about one single issue that could derail India. he unhesitatingly says ‘education’. “The State has to encourage private sector participation in education. There is no other option. It is the private sector that made the third rate telecom and aviation sectors in India world class. It is the private sector that will do it in education.”
