Pain in the neck

The labourers who worked in CWG have disappeared from the city overnight. "Have all the sports and 'pleasure' masseurs left the city too?" a socialite who was watching one of the shows wondered aloud.

It seems that watching matches at the Wimbledon isn't the only thing that gives you stiff necks, following the models on the ramp for hours on end too can trigger back pain. And coming back to the question, seriously aren't the masseurs still around? With cases of stiff necks building up, they sure could do a brisk business giving serious competition to the golgappawalas outside the venue.



Cover up, will you?
Will the fashion police step aside? The Fat Police has taken over. A bunch of young reed-thin patrons flaunting fake Gucci bags religiously watch almost all shows and give critical criticism, not on what is being worn but on who is wearing them. "Tinu Verghese ko gussa kyun aata hai? Why does she always frown on the ramp?"

questions one. "Ok Carol is thin enough for me, but the firangs aren't," adds another. Well, the conversation veers towards the fat calves of the firang girls. Our adviceu00a0 when you see the fat police cover up all parts of your body. Well, guess that's going to be difficult given the flaunt-o-cleavage fever in the air.

What spoiled Sethi's mood?
A journalist from a mainstream publication. Poor bloke had the galls to report that there were hardly any buyers during the first three days of the fashion week. Reason enough for Sethi to be miffed. So old man was spotted shouting at the scribe in the stall area. Poor guy almost had a nervous breakdown apologising.

Here's a finale sneak peek
While Taun Tahiliani will take care of the clothes, it will be 42 Manganiar musicians from Baramer in Rajasthan who will be playing at the grand finale today.

Folk and Sufi artistes will present Aamir Khusro's kalaam as well as Bulle Shah's dohas among others. "We will try to give you a show you won't forget for a very long time," says Samandar Manganiar, the director of the group. Now, that's something to look forward to, of course apart from Tahiliani's spring-
summer collection.
