What’s in a name?

July 22, 2006

People sometimes ask me why I get three daily newspapers at home. I reply that it makes life feel like a box of many-flavoured chocolates. You never know what you’re going to find when you wake up every morning.

Today’s HT Style, for instance, has Yuvraj Singh saying, in one headline, "Me, a metrosexual? Nah!" The article tells us how terse and laconic Singh is. The piece is accompanied by a list entitled "Take 5: Other sports stars on the ad scene". The list consists of Rajyavardhan Rathore, Sania Mirza, Narain Karthikeyan, Vishwanathan Anand, and "the new man in Neha Dhupia’s life, the squash player.." - Ritwik Ghatak.

Yes. 

(For those who haven’t been following the lifestyles of the hot’n'happening - it’s Ritwik Bhattacharya that they meant. Not this other Bengali.)
