The moment he entered the tinsel industry, he immediately got touted as the 'it' boy, for he had everything that it takes to become the poster boy of today and the superstar of tomorrow. We are indeed talking about the blue eyed boy of Bollywood, Neil Nitin Mukesh.


After having made a splash in Bollywood with his superlative acting in films like Johnny Gaddaar and Aa Dekhen Zara, Neil indeed has become a hot property not just amongst the filmmakers but also amongst the dream merchants (read 'ad walas').

After having endorsed a leading pair of shoes, Neil is now being chosen to be the Brand Ambassador for a leading brand of Italian watches called Morellato Watches.


The news is that the makers themselves came down to India to rope in this sensational actor for the reason that 'Neil has got the looks of an international star, and, with his stubble on, he looks rugged.' Insiders say that the said brand was particularly looking for the tough look, and that's exactly the reason they did not settle with any chocolate boy Bollywood star, as they wanted to maintain brand image in an international market also. And since the fact remains that the aforementioned watch brand has a strong presence in international market, they wanted a star, who is young and would look like an Italian or an Mexican, a 'criteria' that Neil qualified with natural ease!

All that we can say is that, now on, one can easily tell the 'real reason' of the shoot up of the watch brand's sales. What say, Neil!

Bangalore, April, 22 2009: Bhagawad Gita is one of the most scared and religious scriptures of Hinduism. It is also described as a practical, self-contained guide to life. Tanishq, India’s largest branded jewellery retail chain, riding on their design expertise and urge for continuous product innovation, today, launched the World’s Smallest Bhagwad Gita in the form of a Pendant.


The pendant with Bhagwad Gita inscribed can be seen under a 20X microscope and can be read under a 200X microscope. All the 18 chapters of Bhagwad Gita are inscripted in 24K gold (purest form of gold) on a 1 cm sq. tablet, which is developed into a pendant. This 22K gold pendant is available in 6 variants. The Gita Pendant will be available by 22nd April 2009, at select Tanishq outlets across the country.


Talking on the occasion of launch, Mr. Sandeep Kulhalli, Vice President, Tanishq said, "We at Tanishq always aim to offer the best and unique products with innovative and contemporary designs.

With the launch of this pendant, Tanishq also has entered the "Nano" race by offering product that is designed using Nano technology. Professor Pawan Sinha from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA, has created this Bhagwad Gita tablet. He has patented the technology. Professor Sinha holds a Limca Book of Records for creating the smallest Bible (1/4th cm sq tablet). Professor Sinha is also the co-founder of Project Prakash, an NGO which helps in correcting congenital cataract in children. A certain portion of the proceeds from the sale of this pendant will be donated towards the project.

The New Year is here and with it, the "new look" in teen fashion. This spring and summer's fashion trends are big, bold, loud and proud. The styles are a bit of a throwback to the 1980's, leaving behind everything bad and bringing back only the good. From bold, beautiful plaids in purples and browns, to spangle dangles jewelry, to chunky footwear, teen fashions for spring 2009 have a lot to say.

Colors- The colors for spring 2009 teen fashions are vibrant on the one hand, and classic on the other. Turquoise is the latest shade of blue to hit the runways, showing up in everything from prom gowns to tankinis, hats to scarves. Bright fuchsia is the year's hottest pink. Combine turquoise and fuchsia and you've got an eye-popping, traffic stopping outfit that could come straight off the runway. On the more laid back fashion scene, navy is turquoise's hot blue cousin. Whether a jacket or a swim cover, if it's navy blue it's going to be in demand. Brown is another of the spring's main colors. From handbags to formals, brown continues to be the "new" black for fashion. Coming in the middle of the two color extremes is purple. From deep, royal purples fit for princesses the world over, to more subtle shades of violet, purple stands in the gap, offering you choices that could be either vibrant and bright or laid back or classic.

Prints- From bold and big, prints are a big item in this spring's fashions. You'll be seeing
paisleys on everything -tops, skirts, dresses, bed linens, purses, even sunglasses with paisley swoops on the ear pieces. And the bigger the paisley the better, it would seem. Stripes are on the move again, as well. And not just any stripe -big, bold, wide stripes in big, bold colors. Brown and turquoise stripes can be seen racing on t-shirts. Big stripes of bold purples and fuchsias are marching their way across skirts, skorts and shorts for spring and summer. Not so big, but no less bold, polka dots of every hue can be found on items as varied as dresses fit for Sunday dinner at Grandma's to socks so cool your feet will never be the same. Oh, and for those of you who prefer your dots big, a few designers have taken the plunge to create dresses and longer skirts you'll be pleased to call your own. Plaids are making a noise, too. Everything from this summer's tube tops to next winter's wool coat can be had in plaid. Like their other cousins in the print scene, the bigger the better, with larger checks winning over smaller ones.


Styles- This Spring and summer's fashions are like watching Miami Vice reruns or Madonna's breakthrough videos. It would appear that everything old has come new again. The skinnier the jeans, the better, at least for this year's fashion. (Pegged jeans are even making a come-back, for those who don't care for the stick-legged look.) Dresses and skirts are sporting "bubble hems"- wide bands of elastic that hug the thighs allowing for the rest of the skirt to drape above. Ruffles and crises-cross draping on blouses and dress bodices would make any Material Girl feel right at home. (Check your mom's closet- chances are she's still got one or two of her ruffled blouses hanging around.) Paired with today's colors of turquoise and fuchsia, the newest in teen fashion may have your mom wondering if you time-traveled back to her days in high school, minus the big hair and shoulder pads, of course.

Jewelry- No outfit is complete without that "perfect touch" and bling is definitely the thing among teen fashion. As with the bolder colors and prints, teen jewelry has gone big, bold and beautiful, too. Cuff bracelets are in, in a big way. Big, plain cuffs are fine, but sparkly, studded cuffs are better. Necklaces have also gone bold, with large pendants and beads. If you don't like the big look, go for layers- many of the new styles are made of several pieces put together. Designers create the same effect with smaller chains and strands, layered over top each other. Eco-friendliness and eco-awareness have their place in teen fashion, too. This year's jewelry features bone, wood and fresh water pearl, along with natural stone pieces, such as jade, turquoise and onyx. Earrings and rings are all about charming - charming charms, that is. And they need to make a statement, as in having something to say. The most popular styles of charms are "emo" or expression charms, touting the wearer as "moody" or "peaceful." The spangle has to dangle, ya know?
