THE GANDHIAN BRAND

Adam: “I have searched the web over, under, and every other direction looking for ‘Indian Homespun’ with no real success. I have however discovered that its Indian name is ‘Khadi’.” One stroll through the Internet chat rooms discussing Star Wars’ costumes is enough to spot the excitement. While very few Indians are aware of the fact that some characters of the Star Wars prequels wore Khadi robes, the world over, fans are going crazy trying to locate this unique material. But the excitement is not restricted to the fans of Star Wars only. Usually associated with dull colours and boring designs, Khadi is being increasingly patronised by designers who are flaunting it in their collections internationally.

I’LL BE BACK!


The scooter has been the guardian of the country’s personal mobility for almost three decades. But with the advent of meaner and more economical motorcycles, there has been a paradigm shift. Today, scooters contribute a mere 9.3% in the Indian two wheeler market, selling 293,645 units in April-July 2006. Even though the scooter market is somewhat stagnant, there have been some exciting model launches in recent times. Ungeared scooters like the Kinetic Honda, TVS Scooty, Honda Activa (and then Eterno geared scooter) and Hero Honda Pleasure are trying to revitalise a market supposedly left for the dead. Kinetic is launching a range of modern moto scooters with its Italian partner, Italjet. It appears that the scooter segment may in fact be in the process of reincarnation.

Johnny Depp's Troubled Soul-Searching


With no intentions of marrying, but enjoy inga stable ‘family’ life with long-term girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, daughter Lily Rose and son Jack, Johnny Depp’s troubled soul-searching days are behind him. He has managed to maintain his heart-throb status even while portraying quirky characters like Willy Wonka and more recently, Captain Jack Sparrow. More low-key than usual since her last major hit in 2002 – Mr.Deeds – Winona Ryder has not only overcome her sticky fingers, she has also successfully redirected media attention to her various movies: A Scanner Darkly for this year (yet again, a movie adaptation of a book!) and more lined up for the next two years. Splitting up over a decade ago, the lives of these erstwhile America’s sweethearts have undergone similar trials, delivering, at least for now, two charming individuals and involved actors with busy minds.
