The pin-up photographer
Dilip Bhatia is no pin-up model but at one time he knew most of Playboy magazine's centrefolds. In fact, he had seen several of them at close quarters and turned a blind eye. As a photographer with the high-profile glossie, mingling with beautiful women was all in a day's work. In fact, Dilip spent more time thinking about his lights and locations, than his models and their state of near undress. But the first time this photographer had to do a nude shoot he was not so unflappable.
World Vignettes
England, Wales, Australia and New Zealand are not just places, they are the names of people in Samoa thanks to a curious habit here of honouring key events and places in naming children. Samoans, a highly migratory people, honour their adventures abroad when they return home.
Roving Eye
Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla have had a clear run of the London market for a while. They have been supplying clothes to the UK and so far there hasn't been any real competition. Anyway, the time has come for them to gird up their loins. Tarun Tahiliani -- their Indian bete noir, their only real rival -- is eyeing the London market, rather covetuously.
