It was appropriate that the 2nd Ladakh International Film Festival, which was inaugurated in the absence of its chief guest, Omar Abdullah, also closed without one. Manish Tiwari, the information and broadcasting minister, who was scheduled to give away the awards and close the festival, was requested by the organisers not to fly to Leh because of the embarrassingly low turnout.

Sherlyn Chopraji, after prancing around nangu-pangu for the pleasure of 87-year-old Hugh Hefner, and playing naughty bunny on his centre spreads, has returned to India and found gainful employment.
