Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott have played together in the sand too long; it’s time they found new muses. At one point in Robin Hood, I was wondering whether I was watching Gladiator, with RC exhorting his men to fight. Point Number 2: If this is the story before the legend, why is Robin 300 years old? All a bit much. And I’m sure Russell being the control freak he is would have had final say in his female co-star but great actress or not, Cate Blanchett has no chemistry with any of her leading men, and here it really showed. There was no point, either, for RC to get his famous temper displayed when someone interviewing him on the BBC said his accent sounded Irish. Actually, it sounded Irish and Scottish and Welsh. So there.

Paradise Found
Delhi is one of the prettiest places in the country. There's the joke where they say the only problem here is one too many north Indians but one look at those wide, tree-lined streets where you look left and suddenly see a brick-red monument hundreds of years old peering back at you makes you proud, for a change. I love the sound of Hindi and the authentic food. But the moment I decided to move if ever I got the chance was when I found Yacult in the supermarket. I threw in the towel when I saw Debenhams (Debenhams!) at the Ambi Mall in Gurgaon. Not to mention Aldo, Nine West, Chicago Pizza and Häagen-Dazs. Paradise Found.
