Jiggs concocts "feast for sex"

And no, he doesn't promise us a pharmaceutical success story, but a culinary and cultural phenomenon. Jiggs will reveal his answer to Viagra at his 20-day-long food festival -- the Festival of Avadh.

Sharda Dwivedi, writer, best known for Bombay: The Cities Within -- the book she co-authored with Rahul Mehrotra, knows Mumbai inside out.

All up in the air
The thesis is Kush Khanna, a businessman who lives in California. The antithesis is Ramana Gogula, resident of Bangalore and MD of the Indian chapter of Sybase, an international software giant. And the synthesis is Misty Rhythms, a band which has launched its debut album -- Aye Laila -- an eclectic fusion of sound bytes from the four corners of the world.
