| At the
bowling alley: Model bartenders get caught |
Strike
10, among Mumbai's most happening bowling alleys, joined Coca-Cola for
their first birthday spree and invited Mumbai's models for what they called
a Gurlz Nite. That, it seems, was exactly what film director Santosh Sivan
needed. "I'm here casting long-haired models for Ashoka," joked
the bearded director. Then a few minutes past midnight, models like Terence
Lewis, Akashdeep Sahgal and Tarun Arora elbowed out the barmen, rolled
up their sleeves and manned the bar. The guests included choreographer
Farah Khan and leggy models like Nethra Raghuraman, Deepti Bhatnagar and
Pooja Mishra. "Last Friday, it was a Males Night," said Strike
10 md Anand. And nobody minded.

Cyber
canteens are no longer a misnomer for college canteens. Not at least for
Net freaks in Delhi University's Indraprastha College on Alipur Road.
Take first year student Nancy Kalumbu, who hangs out with hostel mates
at the new cyber café right next door to "sip, surf, even
sup on soup" after college hours, e-mailing her parents in Africa.
A "glorified college canteen of sorts", it has all the come-get-it
trappings-a multi-beverage dispenser for vegetable soups, hot chocolate
and coffee. The Delhi State Civil Supplies Corporation (DSCSC) which opened
these cafes in coordination with Dishnet DSL now plan to open cyber cafes
on all DU campuses. Says DSCSC chairman Krishnalekha Sood: "We didn't
want the Alipur Road cafe to appear like just another sarkari computer
centre. It's a commitment to bring computers to the people." No better
way to spread the message than by getting the students hooked first.
