What's got Masaba excited? If this frame has got you confused, let's put it out there: this wedding photograph of Neena Gupta and Jackie Shroff is a great Photoshop job done for Sonam Nair's short film Khujli that released online last night.

'Firecrackers' is what she calls the two.
Anand Mahindra's cup of chill The signing of multi-million business deals that one often associates with globe-trotting industrialists doesn't always reflect the demanding, sleepless schedules that go into their making.

Recently, when Anand Mahindra returned to the city after a packed business trip to South Korea, he couldn't help but talk about the tiredness that had crept in after the rewarding but hectic two days.

(Not to mention that travelling East means losing hours from your schedule). To express what he was feeling like, he even shared this funny picture. "The perfect image to describe my sentiments... Apologies Nike!" he tweeted.
Mumbai races to Singapore Amongst one of Royal Western India Turf Club's (RWITC) plethora of marketing initiatives, we have seen the hosting of an RWITC Cup at the famous Singapore Turf Club's Kranji Race Course, for a while. The club's chairman Vivek Jain hit upon the idea when on a visit to Singapore five years ago and the idea fructified with Kranji holding the cup for a couple of years now. Tomorrow, the Singapore Turf Club will host the cup from the Mumbai club, which is one of the races amongst others to be run that day.
"The idea is to expand relations between sister racing clubs across the world," said Jain. The Brisbane Racing Club will also be hosting a race that day as will the Japan Racing Association. So much for international eyeballs and promoting the Mahalaxmi turf overseas. We say more power to the club's worldview, never mind its problems in Mumbai. If there are any Mumbaikars at the Kranji race track tomorrow, we say, raise a toast to aamchi Mumbai's club. Make that toast a Singapore Sling, of course.
Shabana Azmi's EM Forster connect Howards End, the classic novel by EM Forster, will soon be a television adaptation of the same name.

When Floyd fused with Urdu poetry It is rare to attend a gig in the city where the audience sings along to the words of Mahjoor, the legendary Kashmiri poet. Parvaaz &mdash; the Progressive Rock/World Music act &mdash; controlled the crowd with their renditions of Urdu and Kashmiri poetry coupled with crunchy guitar riffs and melodies at an Andheri nightspot yesterday.

"This is Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree tangled up with poetry. I have followed the band since scratch, I knew they would make it big," said Kunal Kundu, drummer of Bolepur Bluez (Folk Rock), while the band kept belting out their signature tracks like Colour White, Gul Gulshan and Ab Ki Yeh Subah.
The Bengaluru-based band had followers from their hometown too. "I missed their last gig in Bengaluru. Since I was in Mumbai for work, and it coincided with their performance date, I thought I would take time out and witness the magic at any cost," said Krishna Iyer, an IT professional. The band played for two hours without any break much to the delight of the audience.
