	Sphinx restored after ten years Egypt has officially unveiled the Sphinx after a ten-year restoration programme costing more than two million dollars. An immense white sheet, sprangled with golden stars, slid from the shoulders of the 4,500-year-old monument on Monday to reveal it in all its new splendour.		The child in us It's strange that The Boy who Stopped Smiling can put a smile on your face.

An eight-year-old boy was walking the streets in Bandra, aimlessly, 19 years ago. He bumped into a group of energetic young children, his age. Their preoccupation caught the boy's attention -- for life. The children were the painting team of the National Society for Clean Cities India (NACCI). The boy -- Shaikh Mohammed Yasin -- joined them immediately. Today, two decades later, Yasin is holding his first solo exhibition at the Jehangir Art Gallery.
