Graphic racism
This one had us stumped but not surprised entirely. A leading UK daily carried a graphic to show how their neighbours across the Atlantic Ocean, the US, were lagging in promoting women leaders. The title of the graph read, Years with a Female Head of State. The graphic used a woman’s arm as the rating scale to represent each country. While Bangladesh topped the list, India and Ireland followed in joint second place, Iceland was next, with The Philippines, Sri Lanka and other nations. The skin colour of the arms depicting the Asian nations was in varying shades of dark brown. Clearly, some folk continue to live in the Dark Ages.

Bend it like SRK
It’s not John Abraham, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar or any of the new-age fitness freaks of tinsel town who are sharing tips on hot bods and six-packs. It’s SRK. While the actor’s chiselled abs in Om Shanti Om, were forgettable, he has made working out a part of his daily routine, we are told.
