HIGH LIFE - Code red
The entire apartment has been redone by her. Incidentally, it was designed by Raja Dhody before. The businessman is no interior designer; style just comes to him naturally. Now he is all set to open up a restaurant in SOBO. Between his frequent quick trips abroad, he went for the Grand Prix in Singapore and then hopped onto Vijay Mallya’s jet and went to Goa instead of coming home. His legal matrimonial matters, hosting some of the best Blue Label and pink champagne parties (even Parmeshwar Godrej wouldn’t miss his birthday bash), and attending other high profile events and parties. I honestly marvel at his energy levels. How does he manage to take on so much? Now his Facebook posting says he is gearing up to take on the world! He doesn’t need to. From what I saw recently, he has enough PYTs wooing him. And he already seems to have the world at his feet. Talking of his feet, I ended up there too. Blame my new shoes or a wet floor, all I know is that in the midst of a serious conversation I was at his feet. The bruise on my knee is taking its own sweet time to fade; an embarrassing reminder of a public fall that I hope went unnoticed by most.
• Yeh Kya?
What can Kapil Dev possibly be doing in a reality show? Anything, but judging a singing competition. Please guys, give us a break. These reality show guys are getting so desperate for celebs and ideas that they will get anybody on board to judge anything. It would be like Laloo Prasad Yadav judging a beauty pageant! At least Wasim Akram was honest when he sheepishly said he didn’t even know what to say after he saw a performance. Besides cricket, Kapil is good at two things on the boob tube. Shedding tears and selling hamare bachpan ka milk supplement.

Person of the week would start with Shatrughan Sinha who was in Manhattan attending the Ramayan festival. Like his proud wife Poonam said, “The New Yorkers said it would be incomplete without him.”
Ramona Garware who has discovered dual joys of motherhood. She found out the sex of her soon-to-be-born twins. A girl and a boy! This, she decided to discover on her birthday. It is the best birthday present ever she says.
Pradeep Hirani who is all set to host the most fashionable premier for Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion. Media guys remember, ask Madhur about anything but fashion.
