Then the species became needlessly talkative and new words had to be invented and added to the lexicon. This went on happening for thousands of years until one day it seemed that the process was set to reverse itself, with Internet chat-sites and SMS jargon encouraging the abbreviation of existing words into near-unrecognisable forms (gr8 2 c u!). Surely dictionaries will become pass now, we thought.http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377089Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:57:09 GMThttp://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377089http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Business-Standard-Life-Leisure-Features/~3/EiwyXLWg5xw/storypage_c.phpScript writer Jaideep Sahni tells Aabhas Sharma that movies werent his cup of tea - until he joined the business.http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377088Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:55:25 GMThttp://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377088http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Business-Standard-Life-Leisure-Features/~3/r0WqxUX5Tzc/storypage_c.phpOn a walking tour through the Pyrenees, Bharati Motwani yearns for what might have been had the French, rather than the British, colonised us.http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377086Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:46:01 GMThttp://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=377086http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Business-Standard-Life-Leisure-Features/~3/uGHl9xtvS9c/storypage_c.phpA student finds the entrance test to an engineering college a never-to-be-forgotten struggle.

I couldnt believe my luck, and was jumping with excitement. After all, we do not have agents or impresarios who push our plays into various festivals. So such offers are like lotteries. I immediately rang my stage manager (SM) to get on the job, and contact artistes, buy train tickets, prepare and send technical details to the organisers, et cetera. Before I could finish, he informed me that he was already employed, and would not be able to function as my SM for the tour. That did not dampen my enthusiasm. After all, finding another SM would not be that difficult. And sure enough, I found another young theatre enthusiast ready to take on the task. It is another matter that I had to start from scratch with him, beginning with listing out the duties and responsibilities of an SM.http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=376458Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:18:18 GMThttp://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=376458http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Business-Standard-Life-Leisure-Features/~3/uPbgr_TcBwA/storypage_c.phpThree new titles were launched last month.

Mittal was quoted as saying that under her stewardship the brief for the label would be to make it more affordable and accessible. Before the recession took the wind out of the sails of the luxury business, affordable luxury was the buzzword. Many prominent luxury goods companies shifted production out of Europe to China to produce quickly, cheaply, and in vast quantities to feed the buying frenzy in this segment. But once the recession took hold, and the numbers of these companies started getting impacted, there was, predictably, a lot of soul-searching about which way the luxury business should go.http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=376352Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:00:17 GMThttp://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=376352
