I like to be a trendsetter: Paris Hilton


Paris Hilton is loving every bit of her second visit to India

Have you been to India before? This is my second trip to India, I have been to Mumbai before and I had a really great time. This is my first time in Goa. It is so beautiful and relaxing. I can't wait to go ride an elephant, go see the spice gardens and the spice markets. I want to go to the beach, go parasailing and go see the caves, and just see all of the different architecture and the beautiful beaches. There is so much to see here and I want to see as much as I can.
What is that one thing that differentiates India from the rest of the world? I love India. I think it's a very special place. It's very magical and definitely one of the most spiritual places on earth. It is just so different, I have travelled all around the world and there is nowhere like India.
What is your passion - acting, designing or DJing? I love everything I do. The most challenging of everything is the business side. Being a business woman and running 17 different product lines and brands is a lot of work. I'm constantly travelling and having to be there 100% for all of my different projects. It is a lot of work, but it is worth it because I love it and I am so proud of everything that I have accomplished. I look forward to doing more!
Does your work reflect your personal fashion taste? My creative style is just the same as my own personal style. I like to design all of my product lines and make sure that people know it is something I would wear.
What is your fashion statement? My fashion statement is to take risks and have fun with fashion. I like to be a trendsetter, and not just follow what is popular.
What is the season's style statement? This season's style statement is all about being confident and wearing bright colours.
Which is your favourite? I love hot neon pink and also turquoise. And my personal favourite is neon pink and neon yellow, because they really stand out.
How do you describe your creativity, style, and how is it different or not from yourself? My work always reflects my personal fashion taste. I am a very unique person; I love to have fun, especially with my style. I would describe my style as very fashion forward, unique, fun, cute, fashionable and hot. I have always loved to dress up, and that is why I am so excited to be here for fashion week.
What do you have to say about fashion and music? I believe that fashion and |music are very intertwined. They inspire each other. You can't have fashion without music, like in the runway shows. And I think that when you listen to music it inspires your fashion, so I think they really work great together.
What is the other thing you would do if not designing, acting or DJing? If I wasn't designing, acting or a business woman, I would be a school teacher, because I love kids. Or I would be a veterinarian, because I love animals.

Aamir Khan hits the brakes again!

aamirkhanacc4.jpgMUMBAI, Nov. 3 -- It's not the first time that the making of Dhoom:3 is has been delayed because of Aamir Khan. The actor has pushed back his shooting dates for this film so he can focus on the backlog of his other assignments.
As a result, the Vijay Krishna Acharya-directed film (he wrote Dhoom and Dhoom 2), will resume shooting with Aamir only next year. An insider from the production house says, "Aamir will resume shooting for Dhoom:3 in March next year."
Aamir recently completed a month-long schedule for the film in Chicago with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra. Even Katrina Kaif had joined them for he last few days. After that, Aamir had taken his mother on Haj for 11 days. In the past, the actor has delayed the film to focus on his TV debut, Satyamev Jayate, which aired earlier this year, and his forthcoming film, Talaash.
Now, he's taking some time off from Dhoom:3 to concentrate on promoting Talaash till its release on November 30. He also plans to begin shooting for Rajkumar Hirani's P.K. with his 3 Idiots (2009) co-stars, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi.
Meanwhile, Aamir's absence isn't likely to bring Dhoom:3's shooting to a complete halt. The makers will be busy with other portions of the film, which are far from completion. "Katrina will be shooting some of her parts in December. She will have a 10-day schedule in Mumbai, where she will be shooting some acrobatic stunts since she plays a gymnast in the movie," says the source. We tried contacting the banner, Yash Raj Films, but they chose not to comment.

Here’s a good reason to hold on to your Blackberry or buy one. When a 28 year old model’s Mitsubishi Pajero car got stolen, his bb did what the police couldn’t. It helped him track it down within 12 hours.
Saif Sidiqqui had driven off to meet his friend at Laxmi Niwas. On his return he found to his shock that the car was missing. He immediately proceeded to the police to lodge an FIR. The police noted the complaint and warned him that a Pajero is always vulnerable to theft since it can be easily unlocked even with the keys of a Fiat. It is in fact rarely recovered since they have good resale value. Following this information, Saif sent out a BB update as a last resort, alerting his 300 friends. His contacts in turn shared the message to let the word be known.
Around noon the next day, a stranger responded to his message saying that he had seen such a car that matched the description in his locality in Andheri West. Saif rushed to the spot and to his utter surprise, found his Pajero waiting for him there, after which he broke down in disbelief.

North Korea says it will launch long-range rocket soon

EOUL: North Korea announced on Saturday that it would attempt to launch a long-range rocket in mid-December, a defiant move just eight months after a failed April bid was widely condemned as a violation of a UN ban against developing its nuclear and missile programs.

The launch, set for Dec. 10 to 22, is likely to heighten already strained tensions with Washington and Seoul as the United States prepares for Barack Obama's second term as US president and South Korea holds its own presidential election on Dec. 19.

This would be North Korea's second launch attempt under leader Kim Jong Un, who took power following his father Kim Jong Il's death nearly a year ago. The announcement by North Korea's space agency followed speculation overseas about stepped-up activity at North Korea's west coast launch pad captured in satellite imagery.

Punjab entrepreneur sets up 10-storey building in Mohali in 48 hours

MOHALI (Punjab): It was a promise delivered floor by floor. In just 48 hours, an entrepreneur has constructed a 10-storey building in this suburban town in Punjab.

The red and grey facade building, Instacon, stood tall on an industrial plot in Mohali, 10 km from Chandigarh, Saturday, two days after Punjab deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal had laid its foundation stone.

Work on the building's construction started around 4.30 pm Thursday. By Friday evening, the building saw seven floors in place.

As the deadline of 48 hours approached, all the 10 storeys of the building were in place even though the glass-panes on the windows and other fittings inside were still being put by the workers and engineers.

The building used pre-fabricated material, including 200 tonnes of steel.

"Our effort was to put the 10-storeyed structure in place within 48 hours. We wanted to prove that this could be done. That feat was achieved well within 48 hours. Just some finishing touches remain. This is only a sample structure," an official of Synergy Thrislington infrastructure company told IANS at the site.

Entrepreneur Harpal Singh, who heads the Rs.1,000-crore infrastructure company, had promised that the 10-storey building would be completed within 48 hours.

"This will be the first building of its kind in the country to be built in just 48 hours. The model has been cleared for Zone-V seismic area, the highest risk area (for earthquakes)," Harpal Singh, who owns the JW Marriot Hotel in Chandigarh, said here earlier.

Three floors of the building were constructed in just six hours Thursday.

Over 200 skilled workers, technicians, engineers and equipment were engaged in the building construction.

The material being used was manufactured in the past two months in a nearby factory.

"No bricks and sand has been used. The outer wall is a double-skinned PUF panel. The cost is almost the same as of conventional construction material. It saves a lot of time that goes into construction otherwise," said officials at the site.

Harpal Singh said that the idea to construct such a building came to him when he was constructing his own house, which took two years to complete - thanks to truant workers.

Singh's company, Synergy, took over Britain-based Thrislington Products, a re-locatable steel partition manufacturer, to set up the new infrastructure company here.
