Designer columnist
Someone has just traded the tools of her trade. Hopefully for a short while. Designer Rina Dhaka is now wielding a pen and writing a diary about the proceedings of the day. The reactions range from "it's absolutely a waste of paper," to "I loved reading it last night." In her latest piece, the lady has confessed her love for stylist Ambika Pillai, calling her the superstar of make-up. Well, we love all the mushy mushy stuff Rina, but how about a little more masala to spice things up? Food for thought!

Love is in the air
While many are suddenly warming up to friends who had 'disappeared' from the face of the earth, yet others are getting struck down by Cupid's arrow. A famous
hotelier's son finally mustered enough courage and confessed his love to his boyfriend after a show.
Well, the happy lad said yes, but will it last? With two
more days to go and so many attractive people to bump into, love is a fickle mistress...err master here.

No room for ayahs
Some big shots of Delhi sure turn up at the event with full entourage. And while they enjoy the shows inside, poor Mary and Kamla have to take care of Sonu Baba outside. Some of them look totally lost and uncomfortable. Wish somebody took the initiative and gave them a place while Madam got back after an update of fashion.

Why why itna cry?
Why is designer Varun Bahl so angry? Guess a plate of lobsters is the culprit. The man was seen stomping out of the venue yelling on the phone: "You had a lobsters without me." Now we know why some of the old media-friendly designers haven't been breaking bread at our humble stall, someone somewhere is tempting them with yummy lobsters.
