India´s national spirit
IN India god Shiva is honoured as Nataraja,
Lord of the Cosmic Dance. Innumerable sculptures,
going back over at least 11 centuries,

| | A week deep inside
Nature´s Valley |
 TWO things hit me as we
descended the winding forest
pass into Nature´s
Valley. I´d opened the car
window to get a better view
of the enormous trees that rise up
from the lush floor of the Groot river
valley, when I was struck by the
aroma, a delicate bouquet that was
vegetative and moist and primordial.
The second thing was the silence.

engine, there was nothing but an eerie

out of gangsters:
John Abraham |  JOHN Abraham, who will be seen as gangster Manya
Surve in Shootout at Wadala, defends the glamour
quotient attached to underworld-based movies,
saying they are not trying to make heroes out of
gangsters.
"Gangsters will always be gangsters. The way they used to
work, the language they used and their behaviour - we are
not changing anything. We are not making heroes out of
gangsters. We are showing what happened in real life
between 1979 and 1982," the 39-year-old said in an interview.
John, who would be seen speaking colloquial Marathi
besides typical Mumbaiya language in Shootout at
Wadala, says it was not hard ... | |
