with the decor screaming vitality by golf sticks adorning fire-engine-red walls and football-theme stool seatcovers, the topic of conversation around was a missed putt or a rugby game gone wrong. so who was standing out in the milieu in a bodyhugger with a canary-yellow cpi(m) logo? london pub witnessed an exclusive promotional event of moulin rouge. twinkling with the stars were the scions of the fashion industry: model parvez - michelle pamnani in an eye-catching outfit from her designerwear collection - connoisseurs shiv daswani & mahesh punjabi - sonia sarin - choreographer ashish banerji - ratul sood of benetton, etc. someplace else celebrated its seventh anniversary with several musicians jamming under one roof. it was a night of unadulterated rock featuring the city's hottest performers, all of whom have performed in someplace else at some point in their lives: arunima, jayanto dasgupta, nondon bagchi, stewart munro, amyt dutta, monojit dutta, jayshree singh, chiradeep lahiri, raja bannerjee & neel adhikari. nostalgic about the good ol' days were corporate lawyer shurojeet sen, rajeev chatterjee & arjun deo of j thomas, mickey sinha sporting a crewcut, monish gupta, ashavari, probal of smirnoff, ace golfer ranjeet singh, etc.
