‘I’m saved from ruined marriage’

Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner feels happy to be saved from a ruined marriage after his fiancée Crystal Harris backed out of the nuptials at the last moment. Hefner says he is not heartbroken as the worst happened before late.
The 85-year-old mogul was scheduled to tie the knot with Crystal Harris on June 18, but the wedding was called off by his fiancée just days before.
The business tycoon, who insists not having any clue about Harris’ back out, felt relieved that the worst things got over before the marriage, reported Daily Star online.
“Crystal did an interview with Ryan Seacrest this morning to explain everything, but I still don’t have a clue. I didn’t see any of this coming, but I’m glad things went wrong before the marriage instead of after. Live & learn,” wrote Hefner on the micro-blogging site Twitter.
Harris, 25, who had suddenly withdrawn from the much-awaited wedding, however wants to maintain healthy terms with the publishing king.

Indian-origin chef wins US cooking prize
New York: Indian-origin chef Floyd Cardoz has been crowned the winner of America’s much-watched Top Chef Masters contest and took home a whopping $100,000 prize after wowing the judges with a humble “upma”.
Mumbai-born Cardoz whipped up an “upma” of semolina and mushroom to beat favourites Mary Sue Milliken of Los Angeles’s Border Grill and Traci Des Jardins of San Francisco’s Jardiniere, despite never winning a quickfire challenge. Cardoz often came in second place to Milliken, who won four elimination challenges during the course of the Top Chef Masters Season 3 finale contest in Los Angeles.
“I was totally shocked and surprised,” Cardoz told Bravo channel, after being declared the winner.
New York-based Cardoz said that as a chef he was used to be in control but entering the competition took control away from him. “That was the hardest part of me,” he said.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
