"Desk drawers" A Poem by Anita Kapoor
Years ago
as some of the dreams
wrapped in the scent of life
were left to be, for reality;
I locked them
in the drawer of uncertainty
lying in a corner of a dark room.
Today, as I reopen it
dreams and moments
are stuck together.
The year and the moment lives
as my fingers console
in the pitch-dark
a booming glow-worm .

StarBuzz caught up with Harry Baweja under the gracious hospitality of his friends, Trish & Manjit Bakshi at their residence in Oakville.
"While going through the pages of Sikh history, as I focused on the events around the lives and sacrifices of the four sons of (Tenth Sikh Guru) Shri Guru Gobind Singh ji, I knew I had the story of my next film in hand. I knew that it would not be possible to make a live-action film on the four sons of the Guru, so animation was the only option in which format I could make a feature film on this part of Sikh history,” said Baweja while talking to Bhupinder Virdi CEO StarBuzz. The film, set for release later this year, tells the story of the sacrifices of the four great sons of Guru Gobind Singh ji -- Baba Ajit Singh, Baba Jujhar Singh, Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh. “It took me an intense effort of literary and technical research under the guidance of the religious leaders for over three years to come up with the project,” added Baweja.The grand evening at the Bakshi residence was well attended by the elite of Greater Toronto Area. Apart from Meena Chopra and Bhupinder Virdi of StarBuzz to name a few who were there were Paul and Rani Minhas, Toni and Dimple Chawla , Chair Women's Wing ICCC Ravinder Mahli, Ravi and Reena Khurana, Sunny Gill and Inder Chopra of PIFF, Reena Deon, Rupali, Mr. and Mrs. Suri, Mr and Mrs Rai and many others and many other.

Actress Nisha Yadav dating debutante director
However, a common friend told Newz66 that the couple is very much into each other and have been going out for long drives and even cosy romantic dinners. The two were even seen hugging each other at a popular cinema multiplex at Lokhandwala in suburban Mumbai. While the director is actually in love, we think Nisha Yadav is giving her sagging filmi career a boost with the director's connection. She has suddenly become very active on the work front and recently shot for a catalog for a swim wear brand. The shoot was held in Goa. Here are some pix of the shoot....

When you're following a diet, one of the most common mistakes you commit, when you surrender to the temptation of food and spoiling your diet in a certain meal, is the immediate feeling that there is no need to keep your diet for the rest of the day, due to the non-application of it in that meal!
Here lies the problem! If you rely on this idea, then you will continue in the remaining days, and you'll have an argument to spoil the diet. Therefore, I advise you to allocate one day a week to eat what you want, in order to prevent breaching the diet and invoke perseverance in the next day.
