The New Year kick started with news ' breaking news, but of course.
The world and its living room is occupied betting Shilpa Shetty's chances of winning Big Brother, even though most of us haven't even seen the program.
Not to mention how, now, even the most ignorant fellow-around-the-corner has an opinion about the Abhishek-Ash match.
Indeed, we have news channels and tabloids to thank. They will be the first ones to inform us (and emphasize on being first) how some vermilion accidentally fell on Aishwarya's forehead or how Shamita Shetty's erroneous posture results in front-page embarrassment.
Integrity and sensitivity seem like dated, poetic words in the field of journalism. One-oneupmanship is the new mantra.
Maybe that's the norm for now. But who would care for stars if it weren't for the movies that made them one? So watch movies, loads and loads of movies.
I, for one, have been doing just that. Recently, I had the opportunity to see some fabulous cinema in the form of Kundun (poignant, haunting), Transamerica (incredibly oddball), Babel (superbly crafted) Little Miss Sunshine (extraordinary balance of eccentricity and entertainment) and All The King's Men (even if somewhat disappointing, it does have quite a few powerful moments and compelling performance).
All these films are so intelligent and well spun, that it's hard to believe that anything except them exist for as long as they run.
Thank God, a few things in the world are still alright.

You are the journalist. Readers dont write articles. Journalists do. If you guys dont cover them and give Ash and Abhishek so much attention, I am sure they are not going to complain about it.
The sexiest couple at present ….we are never tired of them but always want more of this pair…God bless them
Ash-Abhishek is a perfect pair—-the most handsome couple after hritikh roshan and suzanne
Ash-Abhishek is a perfect pair—-the most handsome couple after hritikh roshan and suzanne
The new generation of actors like Abhishek and Hritik are really pushing the older generation ……they are like fresh air…..keep it up Abhishek, Hritik and Ashwarya…..
We love u ash-abhi in Guru….it was really a movie which will get Filmfare and National Awards to both of them for sure……..It was really a great movie to start 2007 with….hats off to Abhi-Ash and Mani Ratnam
YES they are not role models for youth, people learn nothing from them so indian papers should stop publishing their huge pictures on front pages. Papers should encourage quest for learning not gossips, They should provide information regarding science and technology not stupid gossips
