Does Daniel Craig succeed in making Bond cool again?

By -

Hi! Sure he does! One of the most mesmerising Bond flicks i have seen. The opening scene was simply awesome and that was followed up by some really mind blowing action takes. This, being the first novel in the Bond series, the adaptation in today's modern world context was quite exquisite. That cynical look in the final scene when he comes his own with those classic words 'The names's Bond..James Bond' is a reflection of whats coming in the future. One thing you may have noticed that his drink, the martini which he immortalised with his iconic words "Shaken...not stirred" was carefully replaced by "I dont care which" when he had lost his money at the poker round. My sister says she hasnt met anyone yet who hasnt oohed and aahed over CR!

R u shaken or stirred? Do let me have your views. cheers!

American Chopsuey in Delhi!

The very thought of Pandara Road makes your visualize a host of restaurants and an enjoyable meal. Among the various places, Ichiban serves Chinese food and deserved special mention. I have been to the restaurant on more than one occasion. The last time I went there was during the lunch break at the Delhi High Court, where my matter was due to be heard. Feeling hungry after spending the entire morning there, once it was the lunch hour, I stepped out and headed straight for Ichiban, a brisk 10 minute walk away. I had one look at the menu and ordered American Chopsuey. Most you would have seen the dish on every restaurant’s menu card. However, the actual preparation is a far cry from the desired taste and most of my ventures have ended up nothing short of disasters. Nevertheless in hope of finding the right place, I continue to experiment. When the food was served, and their service is pretty fast, it appeared to have the requisite mixture. Without wasting one more second I part

  Gurgaon has been rated as India’s most prosperous city . Quite unbelievable, with its dust, pollution, concrete debris etc. and add to that traffic jams, potholed roads, rash & careless drivers and what you end up is a city of chaos. The concrete jungle and vertical towers robs the millennium city of its trees. Expansion in road space has resulted in the green cover disappearing at an alarming rate on either side of the arterial roads like Golf Course Road, M.G. Road (no, for the uninitiated, this is not Mahatma Gandhi Road - it is Mehrauli Gurgaon Road, perhaps the only city where M.G. Road does not signify any relation to the Mahatma!). Gurgaon was conceived and given its significance by none other than DLF, one of India’s leading real estate companies. In fact, it reached the ‘leading’ status riding on the back of enormous gains extracted from making the most of the opportunity of bringing to light a cheaper option compared to the rising costs of business and living in Del

Food hygiene in India remains a major concern. When I was growing up there was a belief that street food is unhealthy and should be avoided. Packaged food was preferred since it was supposed to be tested as per existing law and a general belief that large companies would not take a chance with their products or their reputation. This belief literally went for a toss once the Maggi controversy surfaced. The incident revealed a can worms and opened up a Pandora's box. It not only appears that the laws were not in place to adequately address such issues but there was sufficient lax in implementation of the existing laws. We would still want to believe that international food chains operating in India have taken adequate safety measures akin to that of their US or European parent's health standards. They advertise their products showing pride from their foreign origin or international reputation and legacy. But when it comes to serving locally, their products and hygiene stan
