Yes, Divya, I too think that because of Omani Sheikh, she is getting lesser and lesser time, although she did wrote column for Khaleej times, on Obama on friday.

Sushmita is back to eating and gurgling. Sush, u know we bongs have this habit of being the greatest gobblers on earth. You throw anything at us and we gobble up. I can understand why you are eating and trying new foodies as there is so little to do other than this exercise. And ofcourse you have Khaleej times. Its the most proficient and well known paper down there. Best of luck for your new column and may it create more fans like us with more adulations on you.........

i just logged on to yr Khaleej times and there was this news item of a pakistani gir's suicide after her parents were detained. I wrote my comments like ' i hope our govt. will do the needful and set the innocent paki prisoners free but somehow i was afraid of posting my comment and so i deleted it because i am always cautious while writing something in an unfamiliar newspaper.

Dude.. that's the intent - to have a Punjabi "feel good food". BTW 20 bucks are not bad for 24 hours to catch hold of all SITC

Reading this column, 2 things come to mind:- First, Sushmita is back in her original best, e.g., enjoying life, and this shows in her writings. Second, Sushmita is becoming clever( in good sense ) ,the way she is letting us wait for "Omani Sheikh"..story..it is like any other TV-serial, where they always let us wait for climax by saying..."Break kay Bad". No Problem, next sunday will come, and we will wait anxiously for the Omani Sheikh episode.

*grin* They say bon appétit in Punjabi? Ah they might as well : )
Simer, thanks! You just solved my problem. I was talking about the search results on the website. I hadn't thought of the e-paper!! Of course, they're all there! I just need to subscribe. And I'll get everything - Counter Point, Indrajit Hazra's stuff, Sunday Sentiments and Khushwant Singh's saturday columns and everything else. Great.

(Lame, isnt it?)

Sushmita - 'Bon Appetite'... as they say in Punjabis - don't hesitate when U eat :-) All Misses & Sirs - This is an HT website, We might wanna talk abt law & IT carefully :-) Abhiroop - U would really have to hack to dig out the Ex-Single in the City (SITC) columns as HT has changed their e-paper archives to a secure version. I emailed the last SITC & the one which appeared after that(sushmita did put up my comment up there) to myself & I can no longer see them.

these arab people eat a wide array of pastries and sweets and i guess that is why they have this very smooth complexion (as seen in channels like travel & living) because you are what you eat.

Raju, yep, it is the lawyers. The IT guys would be the ones to trace me. And squeel about it. Doesn't Sushmita own the IP rights on her writings? But, oh.....I suppose she does, and if I bring out that E-Book its going to hurt her interests as well, if Sushmita were to publish a proper 'Collected Single in the City' book someday.

I just wanted to do it because isnt easy to read the article off the HT site, the only way to do it is to search for 'sushmita bose' and sift through 7 pages of results.

And we definitely need a delete button for these commnets here!!

Abhiroop--you might want to ask HT Media Ltd for permission first. It isn't the IT guys you have to worry about--it is the lawyers. And, yes, they will sue you for everything you own as the company takes copyright very seriously.
